Brighton – In the wake of record high water levels, flood concerns are worsening for some Brightonians. In particular, residents along the shorelines are continuing to struggle and are reportedly working around the clock in an effort to try and lessen the impact of rising water levels and to try and save personal property. More rain and primarily heavier winds on Sunday, May 21, wasn’t helping residents down in Gosport, said Councillor Steven Baker, who was down at the bay again lending residents a hand, working to keep the water from coming over the sandbag walls. “We keep trying to plug the leaks…but it’s tough to keep up with,” said Baker. The largest obstacle volunteers faced Sunday morning was a temporary shortage of supplies. Baker is one of many from the community who’s been volunteering recently, making daily trips to try and help fatigued residents battling the record high water levels. “Councillor Baker deserves a lot of credit for what he’s done here,” said Councillor John Martinello, who was also down at the bay lending a hand Sunday. Martinello said Baker has been wrangling and inspiring volunteers, and doing his part to provide Volunteers lend a helping hand to their Harbour Street neighbours by filling sandbags Sunday. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland some respite for area residents.

Notable effort now underway to Community continues struggle to aid residents affected by flooding combat record high water levels BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Residents will not be left to battle rising waters and flooding alone – at least some Brightonians are trying to make sure of this. A strong community effort has been underway recently, as shoreline residents try to combat record high water levels. The Brighton Fire Department and volunteer firefighters have been working non-stop. Volunteer firefighters from Port Hope, Cobourg, Trent Hills, Alnwick/Haldimand and Hamilton Township also answered Brighton’s call for help last week, spending time sandbagging in affected areas. Countless others and neighbours have made time to help out those affected by the flooding day-after-day. “We really can’t thank the residents and the people who’ve been filling sandbags enough,” said Brighton’s Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson. Throughout the week, municipal staff worked to reinforce sandbag barriers and were also filling sandbags in the Gosport and Harbour Street areas. In the municipality’s latest ‘flood watch’ updates from May 18 and 19, sandbag barriers and work previously done by municipal staff and volunteers to reinforce and provide additional protection of homes had held up, aside from that at the Greenway Circle area, where some did suffer issues related to heavy winds and large waves. “No significant further flooding,” was reported, in other words. A full weekend report was not available by the Independent’s print deadline, however Hutchin-
son was out on the weekend, with others, monitoring water levels, sandbag barriers, providing assistance to residents in need and looking for areas in need of repairs. Reportedly the Presqu’ile Yacht Club and the Lions Club have also been volunteering to man the pumps in shifts to assist residents. The municipality, other jurisdictions and local businesses have supplied pumps for volunteers to operate and to help maintain water levels in protected areas. East Northumberland Secondary School students previously stormed the bay to help with sandbagging and even young public school kids have also found ways to help. And while municipal hands have been exceptionally busy this week, the question at least a few residents and even some councillors have posed recently is: Should the municipality have answered the call for help sooner? At the latest Brighton council meeting, residents pleaded with councillors for help, some of them in tears. Mike Martell was one of a few who spoke to council about flooding in Gosport recently. He was “disappointed” in the lack of emergency preparedness, he said. Municipal staff will continue to monitor lake levels and updates from Lower Trent. In addition, staff has committed to monitor low areas and homes at-risk, along with existing sandbag barriers. Sandbags and sand are available in Gosport, the west Lakeshore area, Shoal Point, Ontario Street and at 67 Sharp Rd. In coming weeks, staff will consider the longer-term consequences of the flooding and develop a clean-up plan.
continued from page 1
Elsewhere in the community, the weather was similarly making for a particularly trying day at times. Harbour Street residents and nearby neighbours rallied together again on Sunday, at the Ontario Street Dock to fill more sandbags and to try and fight the waves. Along the street, water has spilt over onto lawns and into the Dougall’s restaurant parking lot area. The picnic table at the Harbour Street Parkette is underwater too. More water had also made its way towards Marina Drive and Walas Street, just off of Harbour Street. These were reportedly not the only new areas affected. “We’re hearing the levels haven’t even peaked yet and this is not over,” which is scary, said another Harbour Street resident, Karen Caravaggio on Sunday. “At least the swans are enjoying this – bet they’ve never swam on the street before, that use to be a nice trail,” she half-laughed. Caravaggio was referring to the Harbour Street area that runs from the dock area towards Presqu’ile, which is now partially underwater. At least three swans were hanging around Sunday afternoon in the submerged area and some practically on residents’ front lawns. Caravaggio was just one of a slew of volunteers slugging sandbags at the Ontario Street Dock Sunday in an effort to try and help her neighbours. Since Caravaggio doesn’t live directly next to the lake on Harbour Street, aside from a little water on her front lawn she hasn’t been affected significantly. In the municipality’s latest ‘flood watch release’ issued on Friday, May 19, lake levels were reportedly remaining stable, though the Gre-

enway Circle area within the previous 24 hours had suffered some issues related to heavy winds and large waves. Sandbag barriers were said to be continuing to hold. The wind and the waves are the cause for concern right now, said Brighton’s fire chief Lloyd Hutchinson on Sunday. The fire department was also on Harbour Street on Sunday, helping a resident to secure their home due to flooding issues. “No one had to leave their home, we managed to help protect the door,” said Hutchinson. Aside from one resident who was advised to leave his home by his insurance company, Hutchinson said no one has been displaced from their homes due to flooding. The chief reminds residents, if they need to report a flooding issue (after hours) call 613-967-8707. (This is the public works emergency line). Residents wishing to arrange an inspection, to have an assessment completed of their property or those looking to volunteer for sandbagging may call the fire department at 613-475-1744. Another update from Lower Trent was slated for Tuesday, May 23. (This is past the Independent’s print deadline). Residents living in low-lying, flood prone shoreline areas “should anticipate high water level conditions to persist into June,” Lower Trent reports. However, increases in the static water or stillwater levels over the next couple weeks should be less than what has been experienced recently. Additional resources on disinfecting a well after a flood, on flood safety and on sandbag dike construction etc., are also available online via www.brighton.ca.

Upgraded Brighton Public Library will better serve community BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Renovation and expansion plans for 35 Alice St. and an upgraded Brighton Public Library were finally revealed during the latest Brighton council meeting. Ed Bourdeau, an associate partner for the Ventin Group Ltd., recently walked council, the Brighton Public Library Board and residents through the proposed plan. “This is an exciting project,” said Bourdeau. “We’re really going to be refreshing the existing
municipal building and in particular, the library. The point of this project was to try and enlarge the library number one and then try and make the municipal offices make more sense in terms of consolidating them for services.” The proposed plan suggests dedicating almost all of the ground floor of the front of the building to library purposes. In other words, the library will gain the space that was formerly used by the health unit. To encourage barrier free access, the library

area will also no longer extend to the upstairs loft. That area will reportedly become municipal staff offices. Bourdeau said with the library almost “terribly undersized” currently, such changes should go a long way towards improving library services for the community. The portion of the library that was located upstairs, including books and furniture will move downstairs and the children’s library section will move across the way on the main floor, to the area formerly occupied by the health unit. This means more space for kids at the library and kids programming, as well as a more open computer area. The adult side of the library will nearly double in size as a result of the changes. Some community rooms also in the south area will be “reoriented,” and may be beneficial for some after-hour uses and programming, serving as a new space, said Bourdeau. A new circulation desk on the south side of the lobby will have “command and control over the whole library area.” The courtroom and council chambers half-afloor up will remain mostly status quo. Part of the project will also include a sprucing up of the lobby and main entry area. “We’d like to dress up the entrance a little bit, maybe with an illuminated sign box or some new signage features,” said Bourdeau. Washrooms on the south side will become a part of the library’s space, as well as a kitchenette and will also be refreshed. Bathrooms will be brought up to code if necessary, to ensure 100 per cent accessibility. On the west wall, there are also plans to have additional windows cut in, “to brighten up the room and make it a lot more friendly to be inside.” While the lobby itself will remain a somewhat communal area and not necessarily specific to the

library, it may still be utilized for library purposes, with some couches and chairs put in place, so people can read in that area, lounge with a book, that sort of thing, said Bourdeau. With the new design, library staff will also have some personal space, which currently isn’t really the case. As for an anticipated timeline, the architect has suggested he can complete the design development by the end of May and have working drawings prepared for sometime in July, reports CAO Bill Watson. Tendering would go out in late July (if all is approved), the award for tender would be granted in mid-August and construction started in September. At that rate, Watson expects the new building could be occupied sometime in January 2018. Rough cost estimates currently are just over $1 million. Once the working drawings are developed however, a more refined cost estimate will come forward, said Watson. “At this point in time, it’s all pretty conceptual, sort of dartboard numbers and so we’re not really comfortable pinning it down to a number at this point, we know it’s in the range of just over $1 million,” he said. Once staff and the architect get into the working drawings and measurements, the exact dollar figure can be more realistically calculated. Council did commit $1 million in this year’s budget for the project. Council received Bourdeau’s delegation in-principle recently and is additionally opening the door for any public comment, before moving forward with the project. Public comments can be received at the municipal office until May 29. Since the library has been operating in the same limited space since the early 1990s, Mayor Mark Walas said it was great news to hear how the expansion plan will give the library essentially an additional 3,000 square feet, ultimately making the library more accessible. Walas was equally as excited for the expansion to go down as a major project for Canada’s 150th.

Representatives from both the AECOM team heading up the project and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation recently visited with councillors and the community to provide an update on the interchange project. “Right now, this project is being broken up under multiple different contracts for delivery by the MTO,” said Christopher Schueler, on behalf of AECOM. The ministry retained AECOM for the interchange project. Also in attendance for the recent meeting was Melissa Buelow, MTO senior project engineer and area manager for the Kingston district, as well as Chris Belanger, project manager for the MTO. “So, so far, there’s been a bunch of work done up there, as I’m sure a lot of people are aware,” said Schueler. “There’s been a flashing speed sign installed on northbound County Road 30, just south of the interchange. There was also a large boulder in front of the New McDonald’s parking lot that was removed.” In addition, the AECOM representative confirmed delineators and new ‘no parking signs’ were put in the area. With the purchase of this grouping “The MTO’s been working diligently with the OPP to improve driver behaviour through this area as well,” said The Fairbrook reclining motion collection offers a full-bodied, contemporary look Our feature recliner has a high-end style with comfort & value to your living room, with more comfort than you could possibly imagine.

Buelow echoed similar comments as Schueler at the recent meeting. “I know there’s been some additional enforcement up there and no parking enforcement,” she said. “There’s also been some data collected and I know police are trying to use it to target and better time enforcement and they have committed to increasing a police presence over the last couple months even.” Residents with worries or concerns may take some comfort that some interim measures should soon be in place, according to Schueler. The next phase for the ministry’s project includes the installation of temporary traffic signals at the south ramp terminal. (Right at the south of Telephone Road, where the new McDonald’s is). The ministry also has plans for additional pavement markings and designations along this section, reports Schueler. It’s anticipated these measures will be in place before June 30 of this year. These measures will be followed up by another contract later this year, which will include three main components. The first being the realignment of the existing farm access RECLINING SOFA road in that area. Matching Reclining Loveseat $1579 $ Matching Rocker Recliner $1099 Schueler said the realignment would move the farm access road to the south to allow for future work to be completed next year. The next component of the project will be the rehabilitation of the westbound off-ramp, to County Road 30, from the 401. “So this will be a regular pavement rehabilitation that will be undertaken and there’s an existing culvert underneath the 401 that will be rehabbed as part of this project as well,” said Schueler. These portions of the project are anticipated to start and finish this year. The construction staging for the project will be relatively straightforward, noted the AECOM representative. Schueler said the plan is for the road to be maintained during construction at all times, but there likely will be some minor impacts to traffic during the rehabilitation of the westbound off-ramp, with two anticipated 12-hour full nighttime closures planned to get work completed. There will be advanced notifications going out and also notification placed on County Road 30 and Highway 401, he assured residents.

Municipal staff weighs in on costs, challenges, plans for flood action BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – The municipality will do what it can to help residents affected by recent flooding, says CAO Bill Watson and Brighton council. Thousands on materials and for staff time has already reportedly been spent. “We’re the only municipality doing anything in Northumberland County,” said Watson. As of May 15, the municipality had already provided about 17,000 sandbags to residents and spent about $30-$40,000 on materials and staff time. With the rate sandbags are being used in the municipality, such numbers have likely risen in the thousands – say to more than 22,000 sandbags minimum. To say the municipality hadn’t done anything at all initially wasn’t really accurate, said Watson. Staff has spent a great deal of time trying to figure out the best way to deal with the flooding situation, added the CAO. Among the top challenges or concerns for staff is a lack of resources reportedly. Watson is eagerly trying to search out some type of disaster recovery assistance or program that may help residents and the municipality, if eligibility requirements are met. But for the record, “at this point, we are not near to declaring a state of emergency,” said Brighton’s Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson.
VETERINARY SERVICE SMALL ANIMAL CARE
Currently there is no threat to human life due to flooding in the municipality. “We’re giving out sand and as many sandbags as we can, so people can protect their properties as best as they can, some of the cottages – they can’t do anything about it and we can’t do anything about it, because Lake Ontario is still rising,” said the chief. It’s unfortunate but in some cases, this just may be the way it is, say both the chief and municipal staff. With that said, the fire chief has been doing his best to make his rounds and talk routinely with affected homeowners as to how to properly sandbag, where and when to sandbag and how to create a solid sandbag barrier. Hutchinson is asking that if any resident is displaced, (though none at this time), to please notify the department. “We’d like to know if someone is displaced,” said Hutchinson. “We are talking to our Red Cross people and different individuals who may be able to step up and help, in the event anyone is displaced.” The municipality’s focus is not solely on just one area, as there are more than one or two areas to say the least which are currently affected now. Council has charged the chief and municipal staff with prioritizing efforts and assistance for residents/areas as needed. The harsh reality is, according to the CAO, the municipality might not have enough resources to “protect every home that is under threat right now.” With that said, mutual aid from

neighbouring fire departments did prove helpful last week. (This was the first time Hutchinson ever had to make a call for mutual aid for sandbagging). As of Friday, May 19, Hutchinson reported about 25 homes are protected from floodwaters by sandbag barriers and as a result of recent combined efforts. Meanwhile, Watson’s last estimate suggested somewhere between 12 and 18 homes were directly affected and in contact with water and another 40 were at risk. Looking at all those numbers and in the event the municipality had to deploy all staff members totaling something like 30 people – it may not be enough, said Watson. Staff says they are distributing sandbags as fast as humanly possible and continue to try and order ahead of the curve. At the
start, staff even tried to get a jump on things, having employees bagging 3-5,000 sandbags ahead of time. Municipal pumps have also been deployed for residents use. “I feel for the residents and what they’re going through,” said Richard Sparham, director of public works and the environment. “But we still have an entire municipality to keep running too.” The municipality also has a responsibility to focus on protecting municipal infrastructure, like the lagoon and pumping station, then health and safety of the public, before private property, noted Watson. In the event water levels rise significantly in coming weeks, the municipality may put a call out for volunteers to assist with sandbagging to protect additional homes.
Youths identified, criminal behaviour ruled out after injured muskrat investigation Hamilton Township – Police have identified the three youth involved with an investigation that included an injured muskrat. On Friday, May 19, investigators reported any criminal behaviour related to the incident had been ruled out. Previously, police were asking the public to help identify the three youth. Police were looking for the three youth after an incident occurred on Plan Road in Gores Landing, earlier in the week. Police had received information that sometime on May 15, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., a mid-
sized four-door blue sedan drove into the boat launch area with the three youth occupants. One of the female passengers was seen exiting the car with a ‘Huggies’ diaper box and placed it near the water’s edge of Rice Lake. She then climbed back in the car and the youth drove off. A witness looked in the box and discovered it contained what appeared to be an injured muskrat. The witness contacted the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry which directed her to a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Durham Region.
As of Friday, police had identified the three youths and ruled out any criminal behaviour. Constable Steve Bates said, the investigation revealed the local area youths had discovered the injured muskrat at the shoreline earlier in the day and had taken it home, where they and a parent tried to contact local animal shelters. After having no success and on the advice of a parent, the youth returned the animal back to the shoreline in a box, lined with a towel. They’re hope was its mother would find it and nurse it back to health. Police are thanking the public for their assistance with the investigation. Police are not ruling out that the injuries sustained by the muskrat are a result of a confrontation with another animal. The investigation however, is being deemed complete pending new information that would cause further police involvement.
OPINION
Iran’s Election and the problem with Rouhani The six-week campaign is over, and 55 million Iranians will vote in the first round of the presidential election on Friday. Or rather, most of those 55 million people will vote, but many will not, because there is disillusionment Gwynne Dyer great with President Hassan Rouhani’s promises to improve the economy – and therefore also with the international treaty on curbing Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions that was supposed to bring back prosperity. Donald Trump (who calls the treaty “one of the worst deals ever signed”) is not alone in seeing it as a failure. Although Rouhani’s main challenger in this election, hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi, does not formally reject the deal, his whole campaign is focussed on the fact that the end of foreign economic sanctions did not bring Iranians the rapid economic relief that Rouhani had promised Iran has a big, middle-income economy with a large industralised sector, but largely because of those sanctions it has been in the doldrums for the past decade. Incomes have stagnated or fallen, youth unemployment is 26 percent, and many people have lost faith in Rouhani. Forty-three per cent of Iranians “strongly approved” of the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (JCPOA), as the deal is called, when it was signed two years ago. Now only 21 per cent “strongly approve”. Yet nothing has actually changed with the deal. Rouhani’s problem is that nothing much has changed in the economy either. The Western partners in the JCPOA, the so-called “Five plus One” (the United States, Russia, Britain, Germany, France and the European Union) have been slow to remove the sanctions, mainly because of foot-dragging in Washington – although the U.S. government was quick enough to grant a waiver when Boeing wanted to sign a $16.6 billion deal to sell 80 passenger aircraft to Iran Air last December. The bigger problem for Iran is that major international banks have been reluctant to re-engage with Iran because they fear being caught out if the U.S. reneges on the deal and reimposes sanctions. So the Iranian economy continues to bump along the bottom, and a lot of people who voted for Rouhani last time say they will sit this election out. Ebrahim Raisi is capitalizing on this disil-
lusionment by running a populist campaign promising “work and dignity”. He is thought to have the tacit backing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is the final authority in Iran’s peculiar blend of democracy and theocracy. Khamenei has not given his public backing to any candidate in this election (there are also two less well-known candidates running for the presidency). It is generally assumed, however, that he supports Raisi, who is best known as one of the four Islamic judges who ordered the execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988. As a result, Raisi is doing well with his target audiences, the poor, the devout and the ill-educated. If they turn out to vote in large numbers, while more urban, more sophisticated voters express their disappointment with Rouhani’s failure to work miracles by staying home, it is entirely possible that he will beat Rouhani and become the next president. This would plunge the country’s relations with the West back into the deep freeze, but Raisi says he doesn’t care about that: Iran doesn’t need outside help, and his goal is to restore the values of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. But it certainly wouldn’t improve Iran’s prospects for prosperity, or the entire region’s prospects for peace. Rouhani is trapped between two fires in this election. At home he faces a conservative backlash that condemns his opening to the West and (implicitly) his nuclear deal. It’s not just Trump. Hillary Clinton, while giving the nuclear deal her tepid approval, was just as negative about Iran in general, and Barack Obama regularly recited the misleading mantra about Iran being the “leading state sponsor of terrorism”. As did his predecessors in the US presidency all the way back to Ronald Reagan. Iran is no worse than many of America’s allies in the region (and better than some) in its treatment of its own citizens. It is no more prone to interfering in its neighbours than they are. Yet it is routinely treated by US administrations of both parties as a rogue state that poses a huge and unique threat to the peace of the Middle East. Why? Because it defied the United States and got away with it. The Iranian Revolution of 1979 overthrew Washington’s puppet ruler, the Shah of Iran, and just as in the case of Castro’s revolution in Cuba, the United States has never forgiven it for that crime. Whereas by now Iranians have more or less forgiven the US for the CIA-backed coup in 1953 that destroyed Iranian democracy and gave the Shah supreme power in the first place.

When the going gets tough, fewer penalties get called Comment by John Campbell Even those following the National Hockey League playoffs in a desultory fashion – a group that now includes legions of disappointed Leafs and Canadiens fans but certainly not the avid supporters of the Senators and their new farm team – will have noted with disgust the amount of stick work that has gone on. It’s downright nasty at times. From slashes to the hands and legs to crosschecks and high sticks to the head and torso. No less repugnant are bodies being rammed into the boards from behind. ‘Twas ever thus in the NHL: The rough stuff escalates when the stakes get higher. But these playoffs have exacerbated a season-long trend of players applying body and lumber with malevolent intent or callous disregard to a degree not seen since the Broad Street Bullies – a dark period in league history. To a casual observer unfamiliar with what euphemistically constitutes a “hockey play,” it would appear some players prefer to employ their sticks less as instruments in the production/prevention of goals than wield them as weapons for the administration of pain whenever the opportunity arises. In fact, the term stick check has taken on a new meaning and no longer refers to a benign way of stripping another player of the puck. Often it involves a sharp rap on the glove, which, in one notorious instance, resulted in a Senator being sidelined after having a finger tip slashed open on a play that’s become the distressing norm rather than the exception. The offender, predictably, blamed the injury on the lack of protection where the hand was struck, not the act itself. “If you get it in the right spot those plays happen,” and the harm done can be serious, Pittsburgh Penguin superstar Sydney Crosby admitted. But those plays “have happened for a long time,” and it’s because of “cameras and things (that) you just see every one now,” he added. “You used to be able to be discreet if you’re going after a guy’s hands.” The need for discretion – as in doing something unnoticed as opposed to exercising good judgment – has become less so in today’s NHL.

A slash on the wrist is as likely to draw a tut-tut from officials as it is a slap on the wrist (a two-minute penalty, and not a five-minute major). Those who commit obvious fouls too frequently go unpunished, particularly when the misdeeds occur in the playoffs, that strange time of the year when malefactors are granted a certain dispensation, presumably for the spectacle their unrestrained violence provides. The excuse given for referees pocketing their whistles, in the third period, overtime and seven-game series, is that, beyond the profession’s endemic incompetence, it’s “to let the players play” and not have officials interrupt the flow by insisting that rules be obeyed. In truth, the effect is to let only a certain number of players do their thing unimpeded, the ones bereft of talent, and not the rarer breed who show a spark of creativity and offensive mojo. They are the unfortunate ones who at all cost are reigned in, by hook (uncalled) or by crook. Crosby himself became a victim of a brutal play in the series against the Washington Capitals when he was high-sticked and then cross-checked in rapid succession, leaving him concussed for the fifth time. He missed one game. The league took the loss of its superstar in stride. It doesn’t expend much energy into protecting its players, even those who generate the most excitement. The reason for one of the sport’s most gifted athletes being injured produced no great consternation among the game’s stewards. Big shots and cheap shots – they all have the same entertainment value as far as the NHL is concerned. The players themselves are equally to blame for the sad state of affairs: the individuals who inflict harm, and the union for doing so little to ensure a safe working environment for its members. Sadly, it seems the NHL will only cease turning a blind eye to the mayhem when that same mayhem results in a player being blinded. Or getting his bell rung – on the ice, then at his funeral service.

Farmers’ Market opening brightens Mother’s Day weekend BY SARAH HYATT
Codrington – A vast celebration of local faces and foods was in full swing on Mother’s Day weekend as the Codrington Farmers’ Market officially opened for the season. In its third year of operations now, it’s no secret the farmers’ market is so much more than just a place to buy great produce. “I’m so thrilled with today,” said Liana Palmer, on Sunday, May 14, as the farmers’ market officially made its return for the season. “I was a little nervous since it’s Mother’s Day and the weather has been so weird lately, but people have come out anyways.” Palmer is one of eight committee

members who oversee the market’s operations. She was also fundamental in the evolution of the market. By early Sunday morning, dozens were circling and mingling with the vendors at the market. Folks couldn’t wait to catch up with returning vendors and also to discover new local foods and treats. With everything from vegetables, fruits, flowers, teas, cheeses, honeys and maple syrups, as well as baked goods, artisan breads and local meats, including beef and bison, there’s no shortage of variety for this year’s market. Crafters, soaps, lotions and even re-fashioned clothing can be found in Codrington on Sundays too. The market is open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sundays through to October. This year’s lineup features more than 20 vendors, including both new additions and returnees. Musicians will also be back this year, performing live Sundays. “Basically everyone is back and we also have four new vendors, which means we’re full for the season,” said Palmer. Variety and a full lineup of vendors isn’t the only thing shoppers can look forward to this season though. Expansion is without a doubt the theme again for the market this year.

One vendor will reportedly have a doughnut machine on site for the start of June. This means fresh, hot mini-doughnuts will soon be option while attendees shop. Indian foods, wood-fired artisan bread, fermented products, spelt pitas and other foodin-hand items are among some of the
additional new highlights for the season already. Starting at the end of the month, shoppers may choose to visit the Artisan Market inside the Codrington Community Centre, which will run in conjunction with the Farmers’ Market. “We tried this last year three or so
times and it was really successful,” said Palmer. “We have a lot of great artists and they need a good outlet too.” The Artisan Market will now be a permanent addition for the season and will run the last Sunday of every month, during regular market hours. There will be no charge for admission. Two donations this year means the food-sampling program for the market is getting some funds. Through the program, local chef Dorothy Fletcher performs cooking demonstrations using products from the market. She then offers shoppers a taste. Fletcher uses in-season produce from the local vendors so shoppers can quickly pick up what they need and take home their new recipe right after the demonstration. Also thanks to a grant, residents should get excited for some additional food-inspired fun related to Canada’s big 150th, said Palmer. On Thursday, May 18, the Enbridge Corporation donated $3,000 to the market, for the purchase of reusable shopping bags for customers. “We’re really very grateful,” said Palmer. The market is beside the Codrington Community Centre at 2992 County Rd. 30.

Environmental assessment underway for wastewater system
Connect with us online Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/InsideBelleville On Twitter @InBelleville And online at www.InsideBelleville.com
BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – An upcoming open house should help shed some light on current issues and potential fixes for Brighton’s wastewater treatment system. In August 2016, the Municipality of Brighton initiated the process for a ‘Class Environmental Assessment (EA)’ for its wastewater treatment system. J.L. Richards & Associates Limited (JLR) was retained by the municipality for the assessment and is helping the municipality to “address the various problems experienced with treatment at the treatment lagoon…” In other words, the environmental assessment process should help the municipality to clean up its continual ammonia nitrogen issue. In the latest water pollution control plant annual report for Brighton, it was clearly outlined the ammonia nitrogen continues to be a challenge in the treatment process for the municipality. The report was prepared by Keith Lee, the municipality’s wastewater supervisor and Jeff Graham, from GSS Engineering Consultants Ltd., and presented by Richard Sparham, manager of public works and the environment. The report otherwise outlined the water pollution control plant was “successfully treating the effluent for threeof-the-four required parameters.” The class EA study will reportedly evaluate the various alternatives in order to address problems and historical issues with wastewater treatment, largely focusing predominately on the elevated ammonia concentrations in the treated effluent. The J.L. Richards & Associates report will also identify the preferred strategies for wastewater treatment and for the main sewage pumping station and associated forcemain, for the Brighton communal sewage system over a 20-year planning period. In other words, a focus of the study will be to ensure that increased flows from future growth can be accommodated. It was explained in the annual wastewater report, “The annual average removal of ammonia nitrogen was approximately 45 per cent. The inadequate ammonia removal is shown by the seven months with exceedances of the monthly average ammonia level.” The report went on to outline that the municipality continues to make “iterative steps” towards successfully treating the ammonia nitrogen content. Both of J.L. Richards & Associates’ draft reports concerning the EA process and Brighton’s wastewater treatment system are available online via the municipality’s website at www.brighton.ca. The “preferred alternative” currently being considered as outlined by J.L. Richards & Associates, “envisions installing a specialized treatment system to complement the existing lagoon system and optimizing current lagoon operations.” Anyone who is interested in learning more about the EA and project are urged to attend the upcoming open house slated for Monday, May 29, from 5 to 7 p.m., at the King Edward Community Centre. Project information is also available via the municipal office and online the municipality’s website. As outlined on the ‘Notice of Public Open House,’ public consultation is a key component to the study, as this proposed consultation plan provides just a single public open house “to review the future wastewater treatment alternatives that are being considered as part of this project.” Discussion will also take place surrounding existing system constraints and other potential solutions.

Free dental care at Dr. R. Younes’ dentistry from the heart BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – Dr. R. Younes Dental Care is giving free dental care to the community during the sixth annual dentistry from the heart event on Friday June 2. Community members 18 years or older will have their choice of filling, extraction or cleaning performed at no cost. Registration will start at 7:30 a.m. and patients will be seen until 5 p.m. “We like to see 100 patients
but, as it’s been in the past, we see as many patients that have been here,” said Tammy Angelo, front administrative team leader at Dr. R. Younes Dental Care. “We do and have had patients lining up at midnight so when we’re coming in here at 6 a.m. or 6:30 a.m. to setup we already have a number of patients lined up,” Angelo said. They are excited to be able to offer free dental care for the day. “Without this service, for
someone to be able to get their teeth cleaned, they wouldn’t be able to do it if we didn’t do this for them.” Being able to give back to the community is rewarding, said Angelo, and the team has high hopes for the sixth annual event. “What we can do and what we get from the community is so rewarding.” Dr. R. Younes Dental Care is located at 96 Division St. in Trenton.

Codrington – The Codrington Farmers’ Market continues to be a friend to the environment. This season at the market shoppers can say goodbye to plastic bags. On Thursday, May 18, market manager Liana Palmer announced shopping at the market will be even more environmentally friendly than ever before. A grant from Enbridge Pipelines Inc. has made this possible. The Farmers’ Market has received $3,000 to purchase tote bags to distribute to their customers. Ken Hall, an Enbridge senior advisor for community engagement, presented Palmer with the cheque on Thursday, May 18, and for the start of the 2017 market season. “We are very pleased to receive this grant and thank Enbridge for their communityminded support of the market,” said Palmer. “I know our customers will be delighted to receive these tote bags.” The Codrington Farmers’ Market is located in the village of Codrington and features

Brighton’s Own: Lorne Buck; born woodsman and renowned bluegrass artist BY VIC SCHUKOV
Lorne Buck’s parents lived in a log cabin until the family could afford to buy an old former country store in Kilmaurs in the Ottawa Valley; here, Buck was born with a flourish: “My journey, “said Buck,” began when Aunt Sarah delivered me into this world as a fierce snowstorm prevented the doctor from getting to our house.” Buck and eight siblings grew up with no electricity or running water: “We bathed in a galvanized tub. We were always carrying water into the house from a school well. My mother stitched empty (50 pound) flour bags together, filling them with straw to make straw-tick mattresses. We were careful not to get thistles into the tick.” Music flowed in the Buck household. His Dad was a fiddle player, and his mother was a pianist. Along with some relatives playing various instruments, they formed a band called Buck’s Moonlight Orchestra, and played at lamp-lit barn dances. Buck first sang on stage at six years of age. From age 12, he played drums in his father’s next band, The Kings of Melody. While attending high school in Arnprior, Buck discovered his other gift: At only 90 pounds (“a squirt”) he took up track and field, setting county records. In 1952, he attended Western University to pursue a degree in physical education. After two years, he enlisted in the army which offered to pay for his remaining tuition. He won many intercollegiate cross country championships, the first to do so in Western’s history. In 1954, Hurricane Hazel blew through Ontario. He asked his sweetheart Mary to marry him while they were sitting in his car in the middle of the gale. (He called his car Hazel right after Mary accepted his engagement ring, and they are still blessed with marriage 63 years later.) Stationed in Camp Borden in 1961, Lieutenant Buck performed on a Barrie blue grass radio station: “The camp second in command advised me that as an ‘officer and a gentleman’ I should not be playing on the air. So, on my next show, I did ‘Mind Your Own Business.’ I never heard
another word from him.” (It’s called, “bucking” authority.) Graduating with honours, Buck taught high school gym in Toronto for the next 28 years. Meanwhile, he formed Lorne Buck and Bluegrass Jam, and got busy with festivals all around “The Big Smoke.” Buck coached 99 teams, receiving the Coaches Association of Ontario’s Pete Beach Award for Excellence, recognizing his thousands of afterschool hours devoted to the kids: “Of all the plaques I have been awarded, this one is particularly precious to me.” Buck came to Brighton Township 35 years ago, moving onto 145 acres of forest. At 83, he keeps fit by cutting wood and maintaining four kilometres of trails: Thirty years ago, he formed The Flatland Mountaineers, and toured from Texas to northern Ontario: “Winning the River Valley competition qualified us as the Canadian representatives in a Nashville event sponsored by the International Bluegrass Music Association. That opened the door for us to the USA. During a competition in Louisville, Kentucky, Charlie Waller, a Hall of Famer, asked me for a copy of my song Mountains and Memories. His recording stayed for 11 months on the American blue grass charts. I wrote it in my sugar shack, onto a piece of cardboard while making maple syrup.” Mountains and Memories won the Canadian Blue Grass Song of the Year recorded by The Flatland Mountaineers. Buck met soloist Jimmy Ellis at a Belleville Jamboree. For 11 years, they performed as The Backwoodsmen at festivals throughout Ontario and Upper New York State. Buck has literally a roomful of awards for athletics and music: “I am a mixed bag sort of guy. Busy is the thing. My motto is, ‘A winner doesn’t quit, and a quitter doesn’t win.’” (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people.

Straight shaft brushcutters are the choice of lawn care professionals and large property owners. They are known to manage heavier brush and thicker weeds better than curved shaft models. Straight shaft brushcutters have more reach and some can interchange cutting attachments like metal blades to offer enhanced versatility. Taller individuals enjoy the extended length of the shaft. For the avid user bike handles are also available.

Brighton All Star Concert Band wants new recruits BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Often hailed as the universal language, music can mean different things to different people, but without a doubt it always brings people together. Every Wednesday at East Northumberland Secondary School, music does just that – it brings dozens together. And that’s because, music doesn’t care what walk of life you’re from, where you’re from or what your age is. “I really do think this is the best concert band in Eastern Ontario that
S
I know of anyways,” said Bob Brearley from Brighton. Brearley is a saxophone player in the Brighton All Star Concert Band. “We’ve got a lot of good musicians – some of them could be pros, but that’s not what it’s all about,” he said. Brearley began playing the sax back in school. But he didn’t pick up a saxophone again until he moved down here in 2001 and almost 35 years later. “It’s a really friendly band, everyone gets along, we like each other – it’s the kind of
place you want to be every week,” said Brearley. Terry Denyes, director and conductor of the band, started the band from scratch in 2013. At first it was just 12 people or so, but Denyes knew the area was rich with musical talent. “A lot of musicians had nowhere to go and play before,” said Denyes. The Brighton All Star Concert Band was created to ensure musicians have a place to go if they want. To date, the band has grown to in-
for local concerts. The band plays at an array of venues around town and for events and occasions like Music Night at ENSS and during the concerts in the park throughout the summer. Residents may also recognize the band as they help out with fundraisers at TrinitySt. Andrew’s United Church and on Remembrance Day. “Terry is honestly such an inspirational conductor and he’s fun – it’s fun here on Wednesdays,” said Joe McMullen.

Everyone welcome
since the start. He and Terry use to play together in the 8-Wing band. At 81 years old, McMullen says his weekly trips to ENSS to play with the band are often the highlight of his week. “It’s just a good time and a good atmosphere, and [Terry] he gets us jobs too” said McMullen. “We’ve also got a real good representation of all the instruments, brass, percussion… you name it.” Denyes would like to see more people give the band a try and is encouraging membership recently. Tuba, trombone, saxophone, and piano players, you name it, all musicians and instruments are welcome. “This is concert music,” said Denyes. “You don’t have to be a professional either.” The band certainly isn’t Brightonexclusive, Denyes clarified. Some musicians now, travel from as far as Kingston to make music with the band each week. Others come from Cobourg, Stirling, Trenton and Belleville too. “The thing is we don’t always have 50 or so musicians, sometimes people are sick or are on holiday that sort of thing,” said Denyes. “We’d love to have some more people join the band.” Ron Jeffrey from Trenton, another saxophone player in the band insists the benefits are many for anyone who may want to give the band a shot. At 85 years old, Jeffrey’s been playing now for 73 years and he loves it just as much as when he started playing. “Music is fun, what else can I say,” said Jeffrey. Like McMullen, Jeffrey’s been with the band since the start. “When you’ve reached my age, there’s a lot playing music helps with,” added Jeffrey. “Playing the saxophone is good for my lungs, the music is good for my mind and my eyesight, as I’m reading the music we’re learning – it keeps my mind active.” For anyone interested in joining the band, contact Denyes at terrydenyes@gmail.com. “Everyone loves music and we play a great variety of it,” said Jeffrey. “It’s fun here because the people here, they want to be here – no one is ever trying to outdo the other, we’re just focused on the music and this is something people can look forward to.” The band rehearses every Wednesday in the ENSS music room until the school closes for the summer, then the band moves to the church. Denyes sees the ensemble “as a true community asset.” Seniors are able to often enjoy the social network that comes with the band and students have the option to get some mentoring, he added. Overall, Denyes is most often amazed at the different personalities and backgrounds music brings together every Wednesday.

Trent Hills’ chamber objects potential labour reforms BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — Taking a pre-emptive stand after media reports that Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government is considering workplace changes that could see the minimum wage increase to $15, the Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce joins their umbrella organization the Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) to express opposition. According to the chambers, the changes would discourage investment, eliminate jobs and diminish economic opportunities in Ontario, especially among small business owners. In a press release sent to the Trent Hills News, Jeff Hamilton, chair of the local chamber stated, “During the small business consultation we hosted last year, remaining competitive was identified as a significant challenge for businesses in Trent Hills.” The Ontario Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to Premier Wynne cautioning that these reforms may have unintended consequences impacting job creation and competitiveness, as well discouraging investment in the province. The warning concerns potential changes to Ontario’s Labour Relations Act (LRA) and the Employment Standards Act (ESA). Initial media reports indicate changes could include a possible increase in minimum hourly wage to $15 and an increase in paid sick days. “We are very concerned that the consequences of these changes will affect the health of our local economy and that not enough work has been done to measure the economic impact,” added Hamilton. According to the provincial chamber and supported by the Trent Hills chamber, the potential reforms are coming at a time when costs for consumers and the cost of doing business is high and putting Ontario at a competitive disadvantage. Ontario has experienced slower growth in GDP and job creation than in the past, and drastic reforms to labour and employment run the risk of causing serious damage to the future prosperity of the province. “These sweeping changes will tip our economic balance in a profoundly negative way,” said Richard Koroscil, interim-president and CEO, Ontario Chamber of Commerce, in the letter. “The implementation of some of the policy options being considered would have the perverse effect of discouraging investment and eliminating jobs, thereby diminishing economic opportunities in Ontario. Politics cannot drive decision-making, evidence must.”

Brighton boat launches closed over flooding BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Flooding has forced the Municipality of Brighton to close both of its boat launches to the public. On Thursday, May 18, a municipal release stated the municipality would close both the Bay Street Marina and the Ontario Street Dock boat launches “until further notice, due to flooding and for the protection of the public’s safety.” Both boat launches were closed and the areas cordoned
off with signage in place as of Friday morning, on May 19. Brighton’s Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson has also been pleading with boaters recently, asking boaters to avoid travelling at higher speeds so close to the shoreline. “This creates waves and havoc for shoreline residents right now,” who are already struggling, said Hutchinson. Police are also urging people and boaters to exercise extreme caution during the boating season and consider-
ing the high water levels. “High water levels and unusually fast currents will be a challenge on many of our local waterways,” said Chief Superintendent Chris Harkins in a recent police release. Harkins is also commander of the OPP’s East Region. “Another real danger is the hazard posed by floating and submerged debris.” Recent flooding can mean a wide variety of material has been washed into rivers and lakes and in some cases, rocks

The Ontario Street Dock boat launch is closed due to flooding. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland
which normally would be visible, could be just below the surface. Harkins echoed a similar plea to boaters as Hutchinson. “If you are travelling in areas still experiencing high water levels, please be aware of the damage that can be caused by excessive wake,” he said. East Region OPP Marine Units were slated to be on the waterways during the weekend. Reportedly only when the flooding subsides and the area is deemed safe again for public use, will both of the Brighton boat launches reopen. On the topic of safety, both the municipality and fire chief are reminding residents to not drive through affected flooded areas unless absolutely
necessary – unless one lives in the area, for example. “People are often just driving by and taking pictures,” said Hutchinson. The fire department would appreciate it if people would stop doing this. “If people could stay out of the area, it makes it easier for us to get things done and for the people who are trying to maintain the areas – just let us do our jobs,” said Hutchinson. Residents are reminded such behaviours can be “very disruptive” to sandbagging and pumping operations. Elsewhere in the community, only minor closures due to flooding have been reported for Presqu’ile Provincial Park, as of Friday, May 19. The lakeshore has been af-

fected and the water a little higher down towards the lighthouse, said David Bree, senior natural heritage education leader for the park. The park as a whole remains open still. “The trails are generally normal for this time of year, where some parts are wet,” said Bree. With that said, four campsites have been closed off due to the record high water levels, as well as the boardwalk and Calf Pasture area. Though carp spawning in the Calf Pasture area have apparently almost become a new attraction for the park. Lots of carp have also reportedly been seen down by the lighthouse up-close and also in ditches and on front lawns at times.
Trent-Severn too dangerous for boaters, closed until May 26 BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton — The navigation season on the Trent-Severn Waterway is delayed one week until May 26 at 9 a.m. due to elevated water levels and the velocity of water going through the system. “At this point, with Quinte West being at the bottom of the system, it’s currently draining all of the lakes above it so there’s quite a bit of water going through,” said Chad Buchner, manager of operations for the Trent Severn Waterway. “Into the next few days and into the next week it’s going to continue with the high rate of water going though.” Navigation is just too dan-
gerous with the current moving through the waterway, he said. “To have anyone boating or travelling within close proximity to the fast-moving water is just not deemed safe for boating,” he said. “There’s just so much water going through that it’s just too dangerous to travel through in those kind of currents.” Water levels to the north are starting to decline and the lake levels in the Kawarthas are starting to decline as well. “They’ve hit their peak and they’re starting to run down, it’s just going to take us about a week to get it to where the water flows can be reduced and the water levels can get back into the
somewhat navigational range,” he said. The Trent Severn hasn’t been closed for navigation in the spring for some time now, said Buchner, but they’re continually monitoring the flows and if there is any unforeseen amount of rain it still looks like opening will be set for their goal of May 26. “Part of our reason that we’re trying to get to the 26 is because it is a special season for us, we are looking at increased visitation coming through and a very exciting season for us, it’s the first time in a long time that we’ll be providing free lockage,” said Buchner.
While the one-week delay will slow down some people from getting to the system, Buchner said he’s very encouraged that it’s going to be a great summer on the Trent-Severn. Craig Carter, manager of the Trent Port Marina, said the oneweek delay doesn’t affect the marina. “We would prefer it to be open but no, it doesn’t effect us,” he said, adding boaters aren’t at the marina waiting for the TrentSevern to open. “We’ve had a few phone call asking if it were open and if it were we think boaters would be coming but not at this point, all they have to do is get on route
and they’re aware that the water is where it is and they stay in contact with the system, boaters know,” said Carter. Everyone all the way up the system has high hopes for an increase in business with free lockage this season, said Carter. With about 130 seasonal boat slips sold at the Trent Port Marina, Carter said they haven’t sold as many season boat slips as they hoped for but they continue to take more boats in. “The season is just starting so we really haven’t had the weather or the interest up until this point,” he said. “It hasn’t been boating weather, people just aren’t committed yet.”
As Rice Lake rises so does the Trent River toward Hastings BY BILL FREEMAN
Peterborough — As water levels rise on Rice Lake so will levels on the Trent River east toward Hastings. According to Otonabee Conservation, Rice Lake rose 2.5 centimetres on May 10 and is expected to rise about the same amount over the next 24 hours. Water levels and flows on the Trent River to Hastings will continue to rise in accordance with levels on Rice Lake to the west. The conservation authority sees an end to rising waters and says “barring significant weather
in coming days” the end of rising water “appears to be very near.” But that predication comes with a caveat. “Even if fair weather is the area’s good fortune for an extended period of time, the amount of water that will need to be evacuated from the region’s lakes and rivers is voluminous and therefore high water levels and fast flows along the Trent-Severn Waterway will remain with us for many more days ahead.” Starting Friday, May 12 the region will be under a cloud of a low-pressure storm system which
will bring precipitation and cooler weather to the region, ORCA says. Total amounts of rain before the system leaves are to be in the low range around five millimetres both in north and south of the Kawartha Lakes. There will be a return to clear skies on May 13. In the past 24 hours the TriLakes (Buckhorn, Chemong and Pigeon Lakes) rose 0.8 centimetres to 246.62 metres above sea level while Lower Buckhorn and Lovesick Lakes each went down one centimetre to 243.13 and
241.65 metres above sea level. Stony and Clear Lakes went up 2.5 centimetres in the past 24 hours and Katchewanooka Lake increased 2.1 centimetres. The conservation authority expects the Tri-Lakes to remain steady at current levels for the next 24 hours while Stony, Clear and Katchewanooka Lakes will continue to increase in the one to two centimetre range.
During the past 24 hours the rate of rising water levels on the Otonabee River has slowed down. For several days the rate measure below Lock 19 in Peterborough was rising four centimetres a day but in the past 24 hours levels on the river below Lock 19 rose only two centimetres. Otonabee River levels are expected to rise between one and two centimetres on May 11.

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:

Sprints return with a roar to Brighton Speedway Brighton - The Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) made their first appearance of the season at Brighton Speedway during the Victoria Day long weekend with Dylan Westbrook grabbing the opening-night checker. • SOS opener Fifteen cars were on hand for the opening round of the tour schedule. Kyle Fraser (No. 01) and Mitch Brown (No. 10) started on the front row of the 25-lap main event. Brown grabbed the top position on the opening lap and put distance between himself and the field. The defending 2016 series champion Dylan Westbrook (No. 47x) along with teammate Glenn Styres (No. 0) and Rick Wilson (No. 42w) worked by pole-sitter Fraser in the early stages and battled for the second position. Westbrook eventually solidified the runner-up spot and set his sights on race-leader Brown. By Lap 12 Westbrook had caught the leader and was able to slip by to take the lead with 10 circuits remaining. Brown was unable to keep pace as Westbrook pulled away and drove to his first win of the season. Brown held on to finish second while Wil-
son, Styres and Lee Ladouceur (No. 51) completed the top five. • Triple Crown opener The Vanderlaan Building Supplies pro late model division competed in Race 1 of the Hotch’s Auto Parts Triple Crown. Caley Weese (No. 77) started on the pole of the 35-lap special event alongside Austin King (No. 89). Weese took control of the race from the drop of the green flag and commanded the race for the first 23 circuits. Brandon Mowat (No. 46) kept pace with Weese, but was forced to the pit area for a cut right rear tire during a Lap 23 caution. The yellow flag was just what Charlie Sandercock (No. 57) needed as the former champion lined up in third on the restart and quickly moved into the second spot when the race went back to green. One lap later he powered by Weese to take the lead and the eventual race win. Phil Potts (No. 29) patiently worked his way through the field and drove to a second-place finish while Brandon Mowat recovered to finish third. Opening-night winner and point-leader Adam Turner crossed the finish line fourth while
Steve Baldwin (No. 5) finished fifth. • Canadian mods Defending OilGARD Anti-Rust Canadian Modified point-leader Andrew Hennessy (No. 87) found himself in familiar territory in the 25-lap feature when the checkers flew. The Picton pilot started in the fifth position and made short work of the top four cars in the opening laps. Shawn Gregory (No. 1) and Shelby Mills (No. 78) led the field to the green, but were unable to hold off the reigning champion. By Lap 6 Hennessy drove past Gregory and cruised to the easy win. Craig Handley (No. 91) drove a solid race and was able to get past Gregory on Lap 17 to capture the runner-up position. Curtis King (No. 07) continued his strong 2017 campaign with a third-place finished while Gregory and Mills completed the top five. • Comp 4’s Jeff Humphry (No. 17) had a night to remember in the Bill’s Johns Comp 4 division. The Trenton driver started on the pole in the 15-lap feature and drove to an
impressive win. The victory didn’t come easy though, as defending division champion Tyler French (No. 0) jumped to the early lead over Humphry and Adam Flieler (No. 11). But Humphry had the stronger car and got back by leader French on Lap 3. He cruised through the final 12 laps on the way to his first win of the season. French finished second while Flieler held on for third. Points-leader Matthew Moore (No. 14) drove to a fourth- place finished ahead of Josh French (No. 08)
• Fan Appreciation Night ON DECK: Saturday — The Dibbits Excavating and UCB Canada Fan Appreciation Night with a complete program featuring the Vanderlaan Building Supplies pro late models, Brighton Automotive pro stocks, Bill’s Johns Comp 4, Quinte Septic Stingers and the first OilGard Anti-Rust Canadian Modified ABC Taxi Triple Crown race of the season.

Silence is Lonely
When at first our hearing begins to fade; Though the signs are foretelling, we may choose to evade. We tell others they don’t speak clearly, they mumble a lot; My concentration is elsewhere, that’s why I ask what. Please talk a bit louder, your voice is so weak; I could hear you just fine, when you’re close at hand; If you would learn to enunciate, I could understand. Being with family is one of life’s greatest joys; But don’t expect me to hear with all of that noise. It’s easy to blame others, though it’s not really fair; It’s your hearing problem, solve it, show others you care. He who said ‘silence is golden’ spoke for himself only; For the hearing impaired, ‘silence is lonely’. - Roy Bain © 1996

Brighton sweeps COSSA with record-setting performances Belleville – Winning everything isn’t the only thing that ever happens to East Northumberland Secondary School’s track and field team, it just often does. It happened again May 18 when the Blue Dragons won the COSSA championship and swept all the age groups, with outstanding rookie Jacob Gilbert bringing home five gold medals in the midget class. Three were on his own -- 200 m (24.36 seconds), 400 m (55.09) and long jump (5.68 m) – and two as anchor for the boys 4 X 100 m relay team (with Andrew Wood, Hunter Ashbridge and Levi Palmer) and the open boys 4 X 100 m relay team (with Sam Hall, Andrew Brown and Reece Herrington). Hall, a first-year senior, broke a 28-year-old ENSS school record in the 100 m by running 11.02 s in his heat and 11.03 in the final. He won high jump
(2.05 m), finished second in long jump (5.97 m,) and anchored his senior 4 X 100 m relay team to a first-place finish as well as led off the open boys 4 X 100 m relay team which also won. His relay partners were Herrington, Andrew Warner and Cole Masteron. Junior Jared Hall took gold in the 100 m (11.06 s), long jump (6.18 m) and triple jump (13.22 m). The latter set a COSSA meet record. He also led off the winning junior boys 4 x 100 m relay team (46.46 s) which included Carson Shuttleworth, Kieran Lewis and Matt Wright. First-year senior Tristan Flatt set an ENSS school record in discus with a winning toss of 45.93 m. He also won shot put (12.41 m). Senior Andrew Brown was first in both the 1500 m (4:17) and the 3000 m (9:37). He finished second in the 800 m (2:01).
Other Blue Dragon COSSA champions included Sarah MacDonald, 100 m; Anthony Cozier, 100 m; Garret Bird, midget shot put (12.58 m); Jake Hollinger, junior 3000 m (9:42); Elise Hicks, junior 300 m hurdles (52.79 s); and Dylan O’Reilly, junior javelin (42.54 m). The junior girls 4 x 100 team of Elise Hicks, Grayce Freeman, Leah Herrington and Emily Lange also finished first with a time of 55.27 s. Forty of the school’s 84 athletes who competed at COSSA qualified for this week’s East Regional Championship in Ottawa by virtue of their top five finishes at the COSSA championship. The top four finishers from the East Regional Championship will qualify to compete at OFSAA, to be hosted in Belleville (for the first time since 2002) on June 1, 2 and 3.

Brighton – A Grade 10 East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) student led Team Ontario to victory at the 2017 Eastern Canadian Gymnastics Championships recently. Fifteen-year-old Nicole Quick also earned herself an overall first place finish in her division. Her love for gymnastics began early in life. “I guess I’ve always just liked flipping around and the conditioning that comes with gymnastics,” said Nicole. Nicole’s mom, Christine, says Nicole was tumbling around the house at age two. Nicole returned home from Sackville, New Brunswick, where the Eastern Canadian championships took place recently, with a first place win on the floor, a third place finish on both the bars and vault and with a fifth place finish on the beams. Her wins secured her all-around division win and first-place victory in the level seven competition. “This year, I’m just starting to do good,” said the modest 15-year-old. An artistic gymnast, Nicole has big plans for the future and she works hard too. To earn her shot at the Eastern Canadian competition, Nicole conquered at the all-Ontario gymnastics event and also took first place in her division. Only four from the provincial competition are able to advance to the Eastern Canadian champion-
ships and then make up Team Ontario. Overcoming the competition for the Ontario championship title wasn’t easy for Nicole, said Christine. The competition brings together the best athletes from the province and each of those athletes is vying for the chance to be named to Team Ontario. “I don’t think Quinte Bay Gymnastics Club has ever had an artistic gymnast win provincials and easterns, so it’s a pretty big deal,” said Nicole’s proud mom. “Nicole really did lead the pack for Team Ontario at the competition and individually too.” Nicole practises out of the Quinte Bay Gymnastics Club and spends at least 16 hours training a week. She spends an additional seven hours coaching younger gymnasts. “I like the training and developing new skills, working really hard at those new skills and then when I finally get it, I’m really happy,” said Nicole. But that’s not her favourite part of gymnastics. “The bars are probably my favourite, even though they are the hardest and I’m not the best at them, but they’re the most fun,” said Nicole. Looking into the future, Nicole’s hopes are to get her hands on a scholarship. She plans to push herself to compete at an even higher level this coming year. She was slated to try competing at level eight just recently. Nicole hopes to soon compete as a level nine gymnast.

Catholic school board honours exceptional Quinte-area students, volunteer Three Quinte-area residents received special awards from the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, which celebrated Catholic Education Week with a special mass on May 2. The Katherine Award, which honours an individual, group or school whose charitable efforts honour the spirit of giving of the late Katharine Splinter, went to Sheila Toner, a dedicated volunteer at St. Carthagh Catholic School in Tweed. Since her retirement 22 years ago as a classroom teacher with the former Hastings Prince Edward County Roman Catholic Separate School Board, Sheila has demonstrated the spirit of giving through her volunteer work at the school. She truly exemplifies the ALCDB’s motto, “Faith in Action” through her volunteer work with the St. Carthagh school community, assisting with the Food for Learning program, and serving as a judge for public speaking and science fairs. She is a pivotal member of the breakfast club, purchasing all food and attending faithfully to prepare a nutritious breakfast for the students of St. Carthagh. Not only is Sheila visible within the school, she
always participates in the monthly school masses and is present at any and all celebrations both at the school and in the Parish. Sheila is a pillar of the Tweed community through her work with the parish, the Catholic Women’s League and Hospice Quinte. For over 22 years she has volunteered her time for this community and is truly an example of Faith in Action, the school board says. The Secondary Student Volunteer Recognition Award, which recognizes individuals who have provided exemplary services to a school, to the benefit of the students and staff of that site, went to Esegent Lemma, a student at Nicholson Catholic College in Belleville. Esegent is a reliable and caring young woman. She is so involved in the life of the Nicholson School community that she is known for being the “go to” person that students approach if they have questions. Esegent’s bubbly, bigger-thanlife personality is infectious. She is a dedicated young woman who has accumulated many hours of volunteering to the benefit of her school, the Belleville community, and her church. Esegent’s list of volunteering at school is plentiful.
She is on student council and has been a welcoming face at Grade 7 orientation, and both the Grade 8 and 9 Parent Nights. Esegent is a member of the Social Justice Club, the Best Buddies Club, and the Gardening Club, as well as being on the School Reach Team and the curling team. Last year she served as a member of the Minister’s Student Advisory Council with the Ministry of Education. Outside of school, Esegent is heavily involved in her church, both as a Sunday school teacher and a vacation bible school leader. This winter she spent countless hours volunteering in the community at Inn From the Cold, serving hot meals to those in need. She has also been involved in activities surrounding International Women’s Day and Relay For Life. Esegent has been nominated for Kindness Awards over the years because of the impact she has had on her fellow students. She is committed to fostering inclusion in the school. She offers her time and talents with humility and grace. She has a heart of gold and a smile that exudes love, caring and a genuine concern for others. Her altruistic nature is a gift to all.
Brianna Young receives her award from chair of the Catholic Education Week committee Nicholas Woolley.

Catholic school board honours exceptional Quinte-area students, volunteer continued from page 1
The Student Volunteer Recognition Award, which recognizes individuals who have provided exemplary services to an elementary school, to the benefit of the students and staff of that site, went to Brianna Young, a student at Sacred Heart Catholic School in
Marmora. Brianna creates relationships with the students and staff of Sacred Heart Marmora, with her kind and caring attitude. She is passionate about everything that she does and offers assistance to anyone who may require it. She continually seeks opportu-
nities around her school to lend assistance and guidance to all. Brianna participates in school masses with her singing and volunteers in the kindergarten classroom every lunch hour. She helps the office to organize handouts and distributes them to classrooms. Within her own classroom Bri-
anna seeks out opportunities to assist her peers and helps to decorate and clean. She is a true leader, who has encouraged her classmates to join her in volunteering in the primary classrooms. The younger students on the school yard look for Brianna, their role model, to assist
them with solving problems. She also volunteers her time with the Historical Foundation within the community. Brianna is a perfect example of a student who truly embraces and exemplifies the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations, the school board says.

Entrepreneurs In Action: TH LOGISTICS
Business achievement requires going the extra mile
Trevor Hagerman has worked in transportation since high school. He learned the ins and outs of the industry and successfully built businesses for other people. That can grow very frustrating when you know you could be building something for yourself. It was the support and encouragement of his wife, Shelley, that finally moved him from Operations Manager for someone else to the proud owner of TH Logistics. She insisted he not work from home but instead rent an office space, buy furniture and have a phone system set up – he needed to look and feel ‘in business’. That was in 2008 and he was starting from scratch.
Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs. Congratulations to these Trenval clients and successful Entrepreneurs in Action!
The first truth of business is that there is no business if there are no customers so delivering remarkable customer service has been driving TH Logistics from mile one. If a customer needs a big load picked up in New Brunswick and delivered to B.C. by Wednesday – consider it done. Pick up in the States, delivery abroad, big, small, heavy, cumbersome, land, air, sea – done. They have become the best problem solvers in the industry.
Business Start-Up, Expansion, Financing We’re Here to Help
“Becoming an independent agent of Landstar gave us access to a network of safe, reliable transportation logistics and supply chain solutions, 24/7 individual attention to detail, access to more than 36,000 available capacity providers and made TH Logistics uniquely qualified to meet all transportation and logistics needs across North America and around the world.” Today, there are a total of 10 staff at TH Logistics (Shelley’s on board too) and they work out of a very large, beautifully renovated building in Stirling, Ontario. “We needed to acquire commercial space to operate our growing business and that’s what brought us to Trenval. We are ever grateful for the assistance provided by Trenval and their partner, the Business Development Bank of Canada, to help us accomplish our goals!” Shelley said she wishes she had stopped into Trenval way back in the days of setting up the first office. “I had to find out about HST and registering the business and all that on my own. I wish I would have found out about Trenval and their business services sooner.” TH Logistics are Landstars largest independent Canadian agent and have
The first award on the shelf has ‘Trevor Hagerman’ engraved on it. After that, he insisted the company name be inscribed instead because it was the team that was achieving goals not him alone. “Your staff is your greatest asset. Treat them accordingly” says Trevor. Staff are included in monthly goal setting, are encouraged to offer ideas and to feel a sense of ownership. And Trevor insists the company doesn’t become complacent. “We invested in new technology that took our relationship with each customer to the next level”. And even more service enhancements are planned. When you are coordinating the movement of millions of dollars of shipments across North America and globally, the centre of the universe really can be found at www.thlogistics.ca The Board and Staff of Trenval congratulate Trevor and Shelley Hagerman and are proud to have been a part of this success story!

Public Health’s beach monitoring program starts for summer Hastings Prince Edward Public Health’s beach monitoring program has started for the summer and beach-goers will now be able to tell easily if bathing waters at designated public beaches are safe for swimming. Signs will be posted at all beaches monitored by Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. You can also find out if your favourite beach is safe for swimming by calling the beach info-line at 613966-5500 ext. 652 or 1-800-267-2803 ext. 652 or by visiting the Water Safety section of www. hpepublichealth.ca. As of late last week, no beaches were posted as unsafe. However, the health unit is warning that, due to recent flooding, high-
er than normal levels of E. coli contamination may be present in surface waters. Additionally, the public is warned there may be hidden hazards and debris. Lower Trent Conservation is advising the public to exercise extreme caution around all waterways. Strong currents pose a safety hazard to anyone. But, normally, the beach monitoring program is concerned with levels of E. coli bacteria. “Public health staff collects a minimum of five water samples from each beach scheduled for monitoring that week,” says Allison Girouard, a Public Health inspector. “These samples are sent to a provincial lab and tested for levels of E. coli bacteria.”
When bacterial counts exceed provincial guidelines, warning signs are posted at the beach advising that the water is unsafe for swimming. “The health unit also recommends that people do not swim at a public beach for up to 48 hours after a heavy rain because E. coli levels tend to be higher then,” added Girouard. “High levels of bacteria in recreational water can cause skin, ears, eyes, nose and throat infections and stomach disorders.”
“The health unit also recommends that people do not swim at a public beach for up to 48 hours
after a heavy rain because E. coli levels tend to be higher then.” ALLISON GIROUARD, PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTOR

Inspector with Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. She suggests the following: • Upgrade septic systems and keep them in good working order. • Pet owners should observe local ‘stoop & scoop’ bylaws • Detach eaves troughs from sewers so they discharge onto lawns. This reduces the amount of rainwater going directly into sewers. • Ensure that washroom additions to your home are connected properly to the sanitary sewers. • Fence livestock away from streams and provide them with alternate water sources. • Ensure that runoff from feedlots and manure piles are properly contained.
CANCER CHANGES EVERYTHING. SO CAN YOU. At Relay For Life, no one faces cancer alone. These events bring together teams of family, friends and colleagues to celebrate cancer survivors, remember those we’ve lost and commit to raising funds to fight all types of cancer. Whether you are cheering on survivors, walking the track or joining in exciting trackside activities, Relay For Life is an unforgettable experience!
Teresa’s story Teresa Whaley from Belleville knows the devastating impact cancer has on Canadians: Teresa’s brother passed away due to complications from cancer treatment in March 2014. “By participating in Relay for Life, I feel like I am still trying to help my brother,” says Teresa. “This is my fourth year taking part in Relay.” For more than 75 years, the Canadian Cancer Society has led the fight against cancer and we’ve made incredible progress. Today, more than 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive compared to about 25 per cent in the 1940s. We know that more work needs to be done. Due to our aging and growing population, cancer rates are expected to rise by 40 per cent by 2030. This means that more of our friends and family will be hearing the words “you have cancer.” Setting us apart from other cancer charities, we do more to fight cancer. In addition to funding more research into all types of cancer, we educate people about prevention, advocate to government on cancer-related issues and provide support services to patients and their families. Funds raised through the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life are making a real difference in the lives of local people. For instance, our information and support services helped 377 patients in our area last year. Relay For Life is a festival-like fundraising event where team members take turns walking around a track or designated path. Our events are 6 and 12
hours in length. Each team taking part is asked to have at least one member on the track at all times to symbolize the ongoing fight against cancer. Don’t have a team? No worries, you register independently and we can help you join a team or you can create one at a later date.
What happens at a Relay For Life event? Relay For Life is a fun event that is open to people of all fitness levels. Participants walk or run together around a track passing a baton to their team mates and working together toward one common goal - the fight against cancer. Participants also enjoy music, food, fun track-side activities and entertainment.
Our Relay For Life event will feature: A Survivors’ Victory Lap through which cancer survivors and those who are cancer-free or living with the disease are cheered on by all participants in an emotional wave of celebration and support. A Luminary Ceremony, through which luminaries (candles that have been placed in special bags) are lit and look like beautiful lanterns. A luminary is more than just a candle. It is the symbol of a life and a tribute to a loved one and their cancer journey. These luminaries provide light and inspiration for the participants as they walk around the track.
How can I get involved? Cancer changes everything. So can you. Relay For Life in: Quinte West May 27 Brighton June 9 Picton June 16 Belleville June 23

Checking out Utah’s Largest National Park BY JOHN M. SMITH
Utah’s Canyonlands National Park reminds me somewhat of Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park. Both are mammoth, and both offer humungous, colourful landscapes that have been eroded into a plethora of canyons, mesas, pinnacles, and buttes, carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The Grand Canyon is, of course, larger and more often visited, but Utah’s largest park also has a lot to offer. I used Moab as my base for my visit to Utah’s largest park, and the park’s most popular section, the Island in the Sky, is just a short drive away (32 mi./51 km.). Upon arrival, I discovered that this awesome section is, quite literally, like visiting an island in the sky, for it’s the highest part of the park, a gigantic mesa, and it offers incredibly spectacular panoramic views. I could peer into canyons that were spread out far below, and I could see for a distance of perhaps a hundred miles. It was like being on the top of a very high observation tower and surveying all that was laid out beneath! I peered down, perhaps about 1,000 feet below me, at the White Rim, a nearly continuous sandstone surface that follows the contours of the gigantic mesa, and then far below that again I could see the Colorado and Green Rivers flowing gently, almost sedately, surrounded by mammoth canyon walls. However, when these two rivers eventually meet, much further south within this park, there’s a dramatic, powerful change, for they will suddenly swirl furiously through a stretch of world-class whitewater that’s known as the Cataract Canyon. There are a lot of contrasts like that in this amazing park, for I saw dead looking shrubs clinging to the rocky edge of the high cliffs, beautiful wildflowers flourishing in the desert-like landscape, and pine trees apparently growing right out of the slickrock (smooth wind-polished rock). How can their roots take hold and survive in that rock? I also saw tiny, twisting dirt roads that wound their way down those massive canyon walls, all the way to the canyon floor – an invitation for the four-wheel drive daredevil or the avid mountain biker (but no ATVs are allowed). In fact, the best mountain bike trail in the entire park is found in this section: the 100 mi./165 km. White Rim Trail, which loops around and below the large mesa top. What a challenge!
Entering Utah’s Canyonlands National Park. John M. Smith/Metroland
I stopped at Island in the Sky Visitor Centre to get some pertinent information about this park, and I stopped at several exceptional lookouts along this route. Arguably the best spot was the Grand View Point Lookout, at the end of the road, but I also enjoyed the Buck Canyon Overlook, Candlestick Tower Overlook, Green River Overlook, Upheaval Dome, Mesa Arch, and the Shafer Canyon Overlook. Inspirational! If you’re only spending a day in the Island in the Sky district of the park, I’d recommend doing some of the very best hiking trails, including the I mi./1.6 km. Grand View Trail (leading to the very southern tip of the Island in
the Sky plateau), the 1 mi./1.6 km. Upheaval Dome Overlook Trail (viewing a large crater on the west side of the plateau), the 1 mi./1.6 km. Aztec Butte Trail (passing a cliff dwelling and several ancient Anasazi granaries), and the even shorter Mesa Arch Loop (.6 mi/1 km.). If you’re staying longer, backcountry permits and rafting permits may be purchased. Although the Island in the Sky section of the park is the most visited, Canyonlands National Park is actually spread out over four districts, so it’s also possible to access a different part of the park by heading south of Moab and then west on route #211. This drive will take you to the Needles, a group of massive sandstone
spires. This section may remind you of another of Utah’s fascinating parks, Arches National Park, for you’ll find Angel Arch, Castle Arch, Druid Arch, and Wooden Shoe Arch here. You’ll also find the Needles Visitor Centre, of course, and the short Roadside Ruin Trail leads from this Centre to an ancient Puebloan granary. As you drive

along this section of the park’s roadway, you’ll find a great viewpoint at the Big Spring Canyon Overlook, and the best view of the Needles themselves is found via the Elephant Hill access road. Short, interesting hikes are located at Cave Spring (passing a spring, some pictographs, and relics of an old cowboy camp) and Pothole Point (renowned for its reflective pools and potholes that form after a rainfall). More challenging hikes are also available, including the 10 mi./16 km. Confluence Overlook Trail, which leads to a cliff high above the junction of the park’s two major rivers. The westernmost section of this large park is known as The Maze, and it’s the most rugged and difficult to access. In fact, you won’t get there via car at all. You’ll need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to get into this wild jungle of canyons on very rough, isolated, and rugged so-called “roads”. However, if you were to visit this particular area in your Hummer, check out its Horseshoe Canyon (where rangers offer guided weekend hikes in the spring and fall), Maze Overlook, and Chimney Rock. Utah’s Canyonlands National Park has much to offer the adventurer. It’s, indeed, a grand, wild, fascinating destination.

The Good Earth A few flowering trees always brighten up spring
CHAINSAW CHALLENGE
Dan Clost
This morning I walked down our side pathway which is shaded by a very mature clump - almost a copse of French hybrid lilacs. I was stopped in my tracks by the delicate fragrance of the blossoms. I’m fortunate in that my workplace gives me occasion to enjoy the scents of spring ahead of their time; especially when we receive forced bulbs (induced to flower ahead of their natural season), of which the
most welcome are hyacinths. During the dreary almost interminable days of March, they smell lovely; however, there is, to me, a feeling of “closedness” which I know is not a real word. Perhaps it is psychological, perhaps it is an innate knowing that, as pleasant as it is, the perfume is not “free.” The floral essence of spring is meant to be carried by soft breezes wherever that may be. I know I can approach a flow-

er and stuff my snoot into the bloom (always checking for busy pollinators first) but capturing a hint of fragrance on the wind is guaranteed to bring a smile to my face. Lilacs and apple blossoms share equal billing for me. Many years ago, I worked in the Morning Star Orchards just west of Trenton. Can you imagine, Gentle Reader, standing in the middle of 90 acres of apple trees in full bloom? What a wonderful stroke of fortune that allowed me to experience that. A close third is the perfume of the peony. (Oddly enough, I very much dislike the smell of roses and Lilies of the Valley.) Equally unusual, according to our customers, I’m not overly fond of magnolias. I’m sure you’ve noticed, GR, that this is turning into a fabulous season for spring flowering shrubs and trees. I don’t ever recall the forsythia flowers being so vibrant and enduring; let’s hope they’re a harbinger of a fantastic gardening season. I did a quick tour of the Clost estate to inventory the flowers: several clumps of
French hybrid lilacs, a Belgian variety which I’ve not been able to name, a delicate Tinkerbelle lilac (Syringa meyeri x Syringa microphylla), a redbud tree (Cercis canadensis), several wayfaring shrubs (Viburnum lantana ‘Mohican’) and a dogwood standard (Cornus kousa var chinensis.) Unfortunately, our apple tree did not make it through the winter - it had been in decline for a few years - so I’ve resorted to vicarious apple blossom sniffing at the nursery. This column is intended, primarily, for new home owners: which can be read as people who are new to owning homes, or people who have just purchased a new home which has a bare landscape. Now is the time to tour the neighbourhoods and nurseries to decide which ones, appeal most. In the neighbourhoods mature specimens will give you two important pieces of information: whether or not you like it and whether or not a certain plant will grow in your area. At commercial outlets, you might be dismayed at the size of the plants and

the monetary value ascribed to them. I can’t help you there. What you will see is the exact blossom colour. Is Ludwig Spathe darkest of the lilacs or is it Yankee Doodle? If you limit yourself to just reading the literature you’ll see that some folk describe Congo as a redpurple and Paul Thirion as a blue-purple: you’ll see Agincourt Beauty, Monge, Donald Wyman, Minuet, Dark Knight, and etc. and etc. all with the word “purple” affixed as a descriptor. Flowering crab-apples are very similar in that regard. You have to see them in bloom to know. Other bloomers you might check out include the magnolias which have many smaller-sized offerings, redbuds, stone fruits such as peaches, apricots, nectarines and cherries, ornamental cherries- especially Higan and Kwanzan cultivars, and Japanese lilac- Canadian bred ‘Ivory Silk’ is a beautiful performer. Large trees such as catalpas and horsechestnuts can be stunning but they do need a lot of space.

Pedal for Hope is now Give Where You Live campaign After five successful years, police officers behind the cancer-fighting Pedal for Hope Quinte team are embarking on a new adventure This year the officers and volunteers who brought you the Pedal for Hope Quinte are switching gears, changing their name and revving up a new program to be called Give Where You Live . It symbolizes a new era in locally-based fundraising with local elementary students. The same police officers will now be visiting local elementary schools in the fall of 2017 during a cycling event, offering a dynamic, fun-filled school assemblies and a positive message of hope to thousands of students across Hastings and Prince Edward counties. The same event format will be used, with tour dates tentatively from October 10 to October 20. The tour dates and times will be finalized in early September 2017. Symbolizing the local support for this new initiative, all of the same sponsors with Pedal for Hope Quinte – Reid’s Dairy, Canadian Tire Belleville and Bayview Auto Belleville – have remained on board for this new venture. As well, the families of children who have had, or are battling, cancer have expressed their positive support for the change. “The Pedal for Hope Quinte tour was an incredible venture for all police officers involved,” noted organizer Const. Jeremy Ashley of the Belleville Police Service. “And the same crew is continuing to volunteer under a new name ‘ Give Where You Live’ - which we feel better represents our goals working

Public school board grad rates increase, below provincial average The Hastings Prince Edward District School board saw an increase in its graduation rate in 2016; pleasing news for a school board that’s put a focus on student success in its strategic plan. The five-year rate for students who graduated in June 2016 was 76.2 per cent, an increase of 1.5 percentage points from the 2015, the school board said in a recent news release. Of the 1,235 students enrolled in Grade 9 starting in 2011‐2012, 918 graduated within five years. The rate for students who graduated within four years in June 2016 was 70.1 per cent, which is an
increase of 4.6 percentage points from 2015. However, these numbers are below provincial averages. The provincial graduation rate for students who stayed in secondary school for five years was 86.5 per cent and for four years was 79.6 per cent. These graduation rates are calculated based on a cohort of students who entered Grade 9 together in 2011-2012 and graduated with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) by 20152016. The rates take into account all students who began their Grade

9 year in HPEDSB. They also include students who moved to another school district in Ontario to continue their schooling, and students who no longer attended school for one reason or another. Students who moved out of province, before graduation are not included in the rate. “We are committed to student achievement and well‐being,” the board said in a statement. “A priority in the 2015‐2020 strategic plan is Achieving Excellence & Equity which includes a goal to increase graduation rates and reduce achievement gaps for students not yet at the provincial standard.”

It’s time for Hastings County council members to put on their thinking caps for nominations for this year’s “honorary warden.” The tradition started a few years ago and the deadline to appoint a new one is coming up fast, Warden Rodney Cooney reminded at a recent finance, property and personnel committee meeting. Qualifications include an outstanding record of community service or business success. The committee also go an update on the continuing success of the Centre Hastings Transit operated by the local non-for-profit Central Hastings Support Network. That agency provided start-up funding for the bus service starting in 2009. The service now operates for Tweed, Madoc, Marmora, Stirling and Belleville for people to get to work, medical appointments or for students going to classes at subsidized rates. Ridership has grown steadily, gaining 15
per cent in the past year alone, said Sally Gale, executive director of the support network. She gave notice that the transit service will be seeking additional funds in the months ahead in order to expand its services, as more people become aware of its special stop signs, including ones at Belleville General Hospital. Routes may be added to key locations outside the county. She assured one representative from a township north of Madoc that if people get delivered to a bus stop point they are welcome to use the service. Also reporting to council were representatives of the county’s auditing firm, Richard Steiginga and Duane Potter, from the accounting firm of Collins Barrow, who reported another “clean” audit with no faults and a surplus of more than $65,700 from last year. The committee also recommended for regular council a program for spraying of wild parsnip weeds throughout county roads and properties.
