Restoration of cenotaph commemorated in re-dedication ceremony By John Campbell
Colborne – “It looks awesome,” said Pat Westrope and the chair of the Cenotaph Restoration Committee wasn’t alone in thinking the enhancements made to Victoria Square and its war memorials had been a great success. The $60,000 project, which included adding planters, benches and wheelchair accessible picnic tables and giving the First and Second World War monuments a new setting and walkway, was commemorated in a re-dedication ceremony held Sunday morning May 22. The event began with a march to the cenotaph by members of the Air Force City Pipeband and the Colborne Legion. Westrope and local politicians followed with their comments, and Padre Michael Calderwood said a prayer of re-dedication. “We gather here today [filled with] many different emotions,” Westrope said. “Some will feel a sense of pride and honour for the price paid by their loved ones, and many will feel sadness that lives unfulfilled [were] cut short, [and] dreams not realized ... Today is the day we honour our loved ones and acknowledge the contribution they made to [their] community and to our country.” Northumberland-Peterborough South MP Kim Rudd offered the same sentiments, saying “the youth of this community heard the call” to freedom, democracy and Canada and responded by putting Bugler Kelly Dixon played “Last Post” and Piper Beth Cleaton “Lament” as part of the re-dedication ceremony held May 22 at their lives on the line “so far from everything they Victoria Square.

knew but so ready to protect our way of life.” The memorials are “a permanent legacy personal sacrifice that can ever be given,” and they stand tall not as representatives of “ghosts of the past” but as “beacons of the present and future,” she said. “Theirs is a legacy not of conflict but of peace, of hope over hatred, of understanding over division.” Among those present was a doctor from Montana, Dr. George Hatch, whose father, while living in the Colborne area, had enlisted in the Canadian Army and fought in the First World War. He was among many key contributors to the project, which received funding $23,500 in funding from Veterans Affairs, support from local sponsors, and proceeds from the sale of 138 memory stones at $150 apiece. “You should be rightly proud of your achievement today,” Cramahe Township Mayor Marc Coombs told members of the restoration committee. A certificate of appreciation was presented to Joy Gifford for her part in sparking interest in having the First World War cenotaph restored. It had begun to show signs of age and “each year it looked worse,” she said. Westrope and committee secretary Lenna Broatch took her suggestion “and went with it,” and they and the committee members “have done a wonderful job.” Westrope said there is room for more stones to be added. They can be purchased by visiting the municipal office or website or by calling her at 905-355-2027.

Brighton – The spotlight was on Brighton and area youth recently. On Friday, May 20, the Kin Club of Brighton invited youth with an array of talents to hit the stage at East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS). Singers, musicians and dancers joined in to take part in the first-time event and fundraiser, the Showcasing Our Youth Show. For many of the local youth, this was their first time performing, which makes this pretty special, says Allan Simpson, president of the club. Performers from Carol Brown’s School of Dance, a local group known as Landfill, and the Northumberland La Jeunesse Choir all took to the stage on Friday evening.
The first-time venture included tapdance, jazz and ballet routines, as well as musical performances. “We really just wanted to give this a try and give youth and kids the chance to showcase their talents and passions,” explained Simpson. The showcase featured youth from all age groups and drew dozens of family members and supporters of local youth. The hope is for the show to return on an annual basis. Funds from the show are to be split between the three local youth groups and also, remaining funds will help with the Kin Club’s bursary programming. The Kin Club supports various kids sport teams and organizations, as well as helps with bursaries for students entering post-secondary education programs.

Attendees were particularly interested to learn of this and how this bird found its way back this spring to the exact same location as last year. A common yellowthroat, common grackle, yellow warbler and a gray catbird were just a few of the other birds attendees had the chance to look at up close, thanks to the bird-banding demonstrations on the weekend. While the featured bird-banding process this weekend is a process that is somewhat on its way out, due to current technological advancements including Motus towers, Bree says this particular way is often a fun thing to watch and also, it can offer people the chance to literally hold a bird in their hands. And to actually offer people and kids even, the chance to hold a bird in their hands and spark that interest that can be a pretty special moment and experience for people, he said.

Brighton couple overjoyed with new member of family, a dog guide By John Campbell Brighton – Dog guides “make the world more accessible for their handlers, whether it’s by navigating city sidewalks or by literally opening a door,” says Harvey Moore, the organizer of the Purina Walk for Dog Guides this Saturday in Brighton. “This walk is a way for our community to contribute to a cross-Canada success story,” he said in a release announcing the May 28 event being hosted by Moore’s Brighton Lions Club. The program’s latest success locally is that of Norway, a black Lab, and owners Steve and Ronda Moran. The three trained together for 26 days at the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides’ facility in Oakville earlier this year before returning home to begin a life together, with Norway serving as a constant companion for Steve, who is visually impaired. Steve Moran, who is visually impaired, has a new friend – and a great help- “It was quite a place ... they really take care er – in Norway, a dog guide who’s now a beloved member of the family. of you,” he said. Photo by John Campbell “Everybody is so friendly and so wanting
to help you,” Ronda added.It cost the Morans nothing as the Lions Foundation covers the $25,000 expense to raise, train and place a dog guide, relying on donations to meet its mission without benefit of government funding. “It meant the difference between having a dog and not having a dog,” Ronda said, and they ended up with “a good match.” Norway’s “a very good animal and he’s easy to deal with,” Steve said. He’s “part of the family, he just makes it nice.” Norway helps Steve get around inside the house and to stay clear of obstacles when walking outdoors. But “most of the time he’s your best friend,” he said. Norway also “thinks he’s a lap dog,” even though he weighs, Ronda said. “Once my legs start to turn numb, I have to get him off and he’s quite insulted when you gently try to nudge him off.” His favourite outing is spending time at
Brighton’s off-leash dog park, where he can gambol with his canine friends. Never having owned a pet as a family, Ronda said “just having a dog, period, was a new experience,” but it’s a role they’ve grown into quickly. The trainers “went really out of their way to try to get Norway as suitable for Steve in his unique situation ... as they could,” she said. “He’s just a real treasure to have.” The Morans will be taking part in Saturday’s walk, which begins with registration at Memory Junction Museum at 8:15 a.m. Start time for the walk is 9 a.m. To register or donate, visit www.purinawalkfordogguides.com. Purina Walk for Dog Guides has raised more than $1.2 million nationally over the past 30 years. Thanks to lead sponsor Nestle Purina Pet Care, all of the funds raised go directly to offsetting the cost of breeding, training and placing dog guides, allowing the Lions to provide them at no cost.

but typically they hit upon the elderly and those less capable of resisting their sales tactic,” he said. “They’re very persuasive and sometimes elderly people get snagged and taken to the cleaners.” Darling advised anyone who hears of such a case to “get as much information as you can” before calling police “and we’ll follow up.” The salespeople “are not doing anything illegal,” but they are more “ag-

understanding of where we need to educate better.” Amalgamation of boards It’s “clear” amalgamation of Northumberland County’s six police services boards into one “will probably occur” as a result of pending legislative change, says board member Derek Jeffreys. The provincial government’s position is “the smaller the group the better,” Jeffreys reported, but it’s not known at this time whether the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services will be the one to make the appointments or if it will be “a municipal function,” he said. At a recent joint meeting of police service boards in the county, attendees were polled on their “level of support” for the change and “the response was basically for amalgamation.” McMurray said the change “makes sense” as it means Northumberland OPP’s detachment commander will no longer Glass & Windows Ltd. have to deal with NEW CONSTRUCTION & six boards.

gressive than they need to be,” she said. “We can have discussions with them about the appropriateness of their behaviour.” Darling said the detachment does “a lot of education with the elderly [and] people who are more vulnerable to being scammed,” to make them aware of the risk. Another problem are calls from fraudsters who claim to be from the Canadian Revenue Agency demanding payment for supposedly unpaid taxes. “They were hitting us very hard in Northumberland last month and some people were duped,” Darling said. The detachment’s phones “were ringing off the hook,” with people calling to complain about the attempted scam. “It was out of control,” she said.

Brighton’s Own
Melanie Harrington, Northumberland County’s Flower Child By Vic Schukov They say that it takes a village to raise a child. In that case, Quinte West’s village of Stockdale has done well by Melanie Harrington and her husband Alex, both born and raised here. They attended the local public school and dated in high school. Married for five years now, they live in the house in which Harrington was raised, just across the lush valley from Harrington Road named after her ancestors who still own 80 acres there. Talk about solid roots. “My parents grew flowers and vegetables for Trenton’s farmers’ market,” says Harrington. “I grew up in a family that loved outdoor gardening.” After graduating in Floral Design and Horticulture at Loyalist College, she started Dahlia May Flower Farm, specializing in growing over 80 varieties of flowers for all occasions. Her operation is unique in that everything is grown outside her century home – no greenhouse – subject to the many moods and mercies of Mother Nature. “I love being in touch with the seasons,” she says. “Up against the ele-
ments, we utilize support netting to mitigate against wind, and landscape fabric against the weeds, and drip irrigation for watering. The kindest gift that nature can give us is warm temperature, but at the end of the day we still live in Canada.” As she tends to the flowers mostly on her own, I asked why she uses the term “we.” Ever smiling, she replies, “I feel well supported by the community. My loved ones jump in if I get swamped. I feel rich because I do something that I love for a living. I get to grow beautiful things, surrounded by a community that is willing to buy them.” She seems almost amazed at her blessed fortune. Sitting in a bed of flowers with her Joni Mitchel hair glistening in the sunlight, she looks like a postcard straight out of the 1970s. And Alex looks like some guy from Woodstock. I asked her if they felt like throwbacks from the hippie era. She replied, “We love the flexibility of having an alternative lifestyle. Many people are stressed, and I feel that part of the solution is to do more of what makes you happy. Neither of us is great at 9 to 5.” Alex is a trained

woodworker and professional tree climber. Part flower child and part agroengineer, Harrington is constantly evolving her operation: “Farming is one part gambling and one part blind optimism. You have to be flexible, willing to try new things and hope for the best.” Harrington diligently follows the pulse of current trends. She says, “People are returning to the local flower movement in farmers markets. Buying blooms from locals is a homecoming to Ontario’s seasons.” As an aside, I say to her how wonderful it must be to marry one’s high school sweetheart and grow old together in beds of romantic and fragrant flowers. She laughs and says, “I love getting older. If this is 30, bring on 40.” For much more on her neat life story, visit Melanie at http://www.dahliamayflowerfarm.com/ Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people.

OPINION
Libya: The hesitation two-step
Gwynne Dyer
When “Prime Minister” Fayez al-Sarraj of the “Government of National Accord” GNA) arrived in Libya a month ago, US Secretary of State John Kerry said that it was “not the time for obstructionists to hold back progress.” A noble sentiment, but it does make you want to ask Kerry: When would be the right time for obstructionists to hold back progress?
Next Tuesday? It was just one more slice of the meaningless waffle that passes for policy statements when Western statesmen discuss what to do about the Libya mess. The country has collapsed into violence and chaos since NATO bombers (with sporadic help from local militias) drove long-ruling dictator Muammar Gaddafi from power in 2011, and Kerry has no good plan for dealing with it. Sarraj’s GNA merely adds a third contender to the two rival governments that already claim to rule the country, and not one of them actually controls much territory. It is the hundreds of militias that really control Libya’s territory, and the fortunes of the contending governments rise and fall depending on how many militias will agree to back them (in return for various favours and subsidies, of course). Western governments are finally paying attention to Libya mainly because ISIS (Islamic State) fighters are active there, and because refugees are flowing into Europe from Libya again now that the route through Turkey and Greece has been blocked. The Italian, British and French governments have been talking about sending 6,000 troops into Libya to train a Libyan army that could take on ISIS and defeat it. There are already American, British, French and Italian special forces teams in the country, and there have been at least four American air strikes against ISIS camps in Libya since December. It all sounds like a full-scale Western military intervention in Libya is imminent, except that it has been sounding like that for the past six months, and the intervention still hasn’t happened. There is a curious reluctance to take the final step. The Western interventionists are right to hesitate. The fear that ISIS will take over most of Libya if they don’t put troops in is grossly exaggerated: lately ISIS has been losing ground in Libya, not gaining it. More importantly, ISIS

can never be eliminated entirely unless there is a single, legitimate Libyan government backed by a disciplined army. So the first priority for the Western powers is to create a government that has the legal authority to invite Western troops in to help. “The GNA [Government of National Accord] is the only entity that can unify the country,” Kerry explained. “It is the only way to generate the cohesion necessary to defeat Daesh [IS].” So the Western great powers have just created such a government, using the United Nations as their vehicle. The GNA is not a Libyan initiative; its members were picked by foreigners, and that is how Fayez Sarraj found himself the prime minister of the Government of National Accord. Farraj is a respected non-partisan figure, the kind of person who gets appointed to head up a National Commission for this or that. If either of the existing claimants to be the Libyan government were inclined to hand over power to the GNA, Farraj would be just the sort of reassuring chap to win them over. But neither contender, the General National Congress in the capital, Tripoli, or the elected House of Representatives in Tobruk, a thousand kilometres to the east, is inclined to do anything of the sort. Indeed, Farraj was unable to fly into Tripoli with his retinue because the General National Congress closed the airport. He only finally arrived by sea, thanks to the US Navy. Ordinary Libyans might support the GNA, if only out of despair. They are sick of the intermilitia fighting, the financial chaos, and the lack of any government services, and they might well accept a foreign-backed “government” with lots of money and troops at its disposal. But it’s not ordinary Libyans who have to be convinced to hand over power. It’s the local politicians and the militias who control them, and they won’t do it. Maybe foreign firepower could compel them to accept the GNA’s authority, but the Western powers are not willing to commit their troops to that sort of open-ended military operation. They just want to go after ISIS and the people-smugglers, and if the GNA can give them the legal cover to do that, it will have served its purpose. And even then they may decide in the end not to commit Western troops on the ground, because ISIS is not really such a big deal in Libya. Amongst the several hundred thousand members of the innumerable Libyan militia groups, ISIS has at most 5,000 fighters. It does some spectacularly nasty things, like murdering 22 Egyptian Christian foreign workers on a beach last January, but it only controls one smallish city (Sirte) and an adjacent stretch of coastline. The hesitation two-step may continue.

Tourism season is a fast moving train. Hop aboard Editorial - Chris Malette It used to be a tourist attraction featuring some mangy monkeys in a cage at the roadside gas station, where you could feed them the remnants of your ice cream cone to watch them fight for the morsel. At least it was when I was a wee kid in North Bay and we have the family photos to prove it; the one where one of my brothers and me were standing in front of the monkey cage with a sign above warning “Keep hands out of cage” and the next photo of me with a spit-eating grin and my brother holding his right hand in his left, howling like the monkeys in the cage behind him. No more, though. There’s more to cadging a dollar from passing visitors – much more. Heck, they’re even staying a night or two to spend tourism dollars. Now, festivals and special tourism events abound, dozens of them right here in our region. According to the member-supported promotion group, Festivals Ontario, • Ontario festivals and events are estimated to annually drive $2.3 billion in contribution to regional GDP. • Canada’s festival and event industry supports 50,000 full-time jobs. • The average small festival/event supports $424,000 in tax revenue at all three levels of government. • There are more than 2,500 festival events that happen across Ontario annually. • Ontario’s festivals/events contribute more than $1 billion of economic impact on a yearly basis. Ontario has 13 tourism regions, all of them mostly distinct from the natural features of the area, the cultural makeup of the people who live there and the types of festivals and events on offer. Want to enjoy something as pleasingly simple as a crisp apple in fall? Brighton, of course, has its popular Applefest. StirlingRawdon has got on board with the Buffalo Festival (celebrating a relatively new agricultural product to the area – water buffalo milk and meat), The County has its vaunted wineries, culinary attractions and a burgeoning number of gourmet shops sell-
ing everything from ice cream to fermented sauerkraut. Go north and you have the Rockhound Gemboree, many events in places like Tweed’s Trudeau Park for music festivals, Havelock’s monstrously popular Havelock Jamboree and on and on and on. You get the picture. There was a time, as not so distantly past that some of us of a certain age can’t remember, that the towns and villages outside the major centres were just places on a map with the occasional event, like a service club barbecue or ball tournament, to bring visitors to town. People from the cities found the towns and villages of this area as places to gas up, buy ice and beer on the way to the cottage or fishing trip, tatty little towns with not much to offer for an overnight stay. That’s all changed. Take Belleville’s Waterfront and Ethnic Festival. Some years ago, it was a multivenue location that featured, for a slew of big name music acts over two nights. It was criticized roundly for the party-hard aspect of the night time antics of many festival goers and has since progress (regressed, say some) to a family-friendly event centred at Zwicks Island Park and featurung ethnic foods, music and dance from a dozen or more countries. Thing is, it brings in visitors from all corners of the province, as do things like the bayshore Rib Fest, The County’s Taste and Canadian Cheese Festival, so many more. We’re no longer just roadside stops. The towns, villages and cities of the region that spans from the southern tips of Algonquin Park to the shores of Lake Ontario at Prince Edward County have become destinations in their own right. Mining, logging, fishing and farming used to be the main economic engines of the economy in these parts. To some extent for some of those sectors, they still are. But, as we have seen in an economy that’s shifted to cater to a higher tech, more travel savvy brand of traveler and visitor, tourism marketing and event planning is as vital to the economy of towns and villages here as were the sawmills and lumber plants of the past.

Pounder played on six of Canada’s world championship hockey teams and has been a professional speaker for more than a decade. Hughes, the only athlete in history to win multiple medals in both summer and winter Olympic Games, is a mental health advocate who has been
candid about her struggle with depression, which she detailed in a bestselling memoir, Open Heart, Open Mind. Kennedy, who was sexually abused by his major junior hockey league coach over five years, has become an inspiration to millions of abuse survivors around the world by talking openly about what he experienced.

For seniors, there’s no place like home than 5,500 meals were delivered in total. The demand for these types of services is increasing, said Peart. As a result, increasing delivery dates is something that will need to be looked at closely moving forward, the co-ordinator noted. But inevitably, this will ultimately mean more money and volunteer hours. Peart says new volunteers are always welcomed. Those interested can contact the Brighton office at 613-475-4190 or also, visit www.commcare.ca for more information. Those interested in learning more about any of the programming also currently offered through Community Care are welcomed to stop in too. The Brighton office is located at 46 Prince Edward Street, unit 13. For more than 30 years, the Meals on Wheels program has been serving the residents of Brighton. And it’s the volunteers that make a lot of what Community Care does possible, insists Peart. From organizing routes and logistics for the Meals on Wheels program, to volunteers in the kitchen, who support the chef and drivers for deliveries of meals – they really do make a difference for the community, says Peart.

Brighton – Community and municipal support is helping to make it possible for seniors to live at home longer and comfortably. The Municipality of Brighton, alongside the Brighton Health Services Centre (BHSC), both recently made donations to the Community Care Brighton Meals on Wheels program. “We’re very lucky to have our council’s support and outstanding community support,” says Leiann Peart, program co-ordinator. The municipality recently donated $5,000 to help with the Meals on Wheels program and the BHSC, $2,000, in the form of a grant. “We’re not 100 per cent government funded,” explained Peart. This is a common misconception concerning Community Care, the co-ordinator noted. About half of the budget is funded through the local health integration network – the other half, comes from fundraising, grants and community donations. “We’re constantly left battling a shortfall. So we’re strongly dependent upon our volunteers and donations,” said Peart. Specifically, recent donations will help to offset costs including those associated with meal preparation. “We actually have a hired chef for our program who makes our meals,” explained Peart. “This is unique to this community. And this is so we can ensure our food is quality, healthy and appetizing, which can be sometimes somewhat difficult to accomplish.” The $7,000 will also help to offset expenses associated with increasing costs of food, as well as upkeep concerning equipment and the space used to cook meals. Meals include a meat, starch, vegetables, dessert, as well as soup and bread for $6. “Donations like this one are absolutely necessary for us to continue with essential programming such as the Meals on Wheels,” said Peart. “Really, this is all about keeping people supported and promoting Program co-ordinator Leiann Peart and Rosemary Lisle, a volwellness, so they can stay at home longer.” unteer, encourage those interested in donating some time, However, the Meals on Wheels program isn’t lim- to stop by the Community Care Brighton office, located at 46 ited in that it can only help seniors who are some- Prince Edward Street, unit 13.

A summer of sunny days ahead for day campers By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – A dedicated group within the community are fighting to try and ensure those with developmental and intellectual disabilities have the appropriate access to support services. In February of this year, Sunny Days Day programming launched full-time. Previously, similar programming was offered through the Sunny Days Day Camp during the summer and through after school programming. This is evolution of the day camp. “This really is about filling a void,” says a parent volunteer with the program, Deanna Opsteen. “After school and after graduation, these youth and young adults are isolated.” Unless arranged with other parents, often these young adults have no other socialization and they have little to no access to programming or support services within the community, she explained.
“This is about ensuring these young adults feel as those they have a purpose,” she continued. Sunny Days Day Program is committed to this – committed to ensuring quality life for those with both developmental and intellectual disabilities. The not-for-profit organization helps to arrange work-type placements with community agencies and organizations, with the library, Clothing Depot, and other community organizations and businesses, such as Special Effects Decorating and Victory for Animals. Sunny Days Day Program also serves to help individuals with life skills, as well as arranges trips to the YMCA or the Snoezelen room in Cobourg, which through a multisensory philosophy of care and sensory stimulation provides relaxation and helps with redirection, Pathways to Independence reports. Essentially, the Snoezelen room was
developed to “satisfy perceptual needs of people.” “So we take these young adults and help them with walking the dogs, in other words, or we provide a time to socialize over dinner,” explained oneof-two program facilitators Kaitlyn Coltman. Hayley Chapman is the other facilitator at the helm. Her parents, Rick and Suzanne, started the Sunny Days Day Camp. Currently, the organization is receiving no government funding.
“We’re waiting on a charitable number and sort of in this position, where we were told, ‘show us it can happen and we’ll see,’” said Chapman. While the Sunny Days Day Programming does operate on a user-pay basis, mostly, the not-for-profit is reliant on donations to continue operations and sustain its permanent location. “We’re also currently fundraising for a chair lift, to make sure those in wheelchairs can come downstairs,” said Opsteen. The Sunny Days Day Program is lo-

cated at 21 Meade Street, in the basement of the old Brighton Independent office. “We’re really just in the beginning stages,” said Chapman. But slowly, Sunny Days Day Program is reaching more and more people. Program attendance is increasing. Community support is increasing too. A recent yard sale fundraiser, in which community members donated a number of items for, or donated funds at, was an astounding success, helping raise about $1,500.
The Lions Club has donated $1,000 to help with a new computer and the Cobourg Children’s Aid Society, donated a smart board. “We’re hopeful with the funds from the yard sale to take everyone on a trip,” said Coltman. The group would like to take a trip to the zoo. However, details are still being finalized. “We have to make sure everyone’s needs are accounted for first and that this is feasible, but this is our hope,” said Coltman. Remaining funds will help to provide meals. “We would like to thank everyone who donated to the yard sale and thank you to everyone who’s supported us so far,” Coltman continued. Chapman welcomes anyone who may be interested in volunteering with the Sunny Days Day Program, as well, anyone who’s interested in creating a community partnership with the program, like the library or clothing depot, can contact Chapman at 613970-4707.
Big Macs in Brighton SUPPLYING by end BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES of year By Sarah Hyatt
TICO#50007364
Brighton – The iconic Golden Arches will soon be visible in the community. Mayor Mark Walas says residents can expect to see the new McDonald’s open before the end of the year. “This project is moving ahead in high gear,” Walas said in an interview, on Friday, May 20. “As you drive by, you can see, this is taking shape quickly and week-by-week, people can expect to see changes.” The hope is the Golden Arches will be open for business by the end of October. However, the official deadline for the project is the end of the year. It’s anticipated the McDonald’s restaurant, which will be located at the intersection of County Road 30 and Highway 401, along with a Sun-Ray Express convenience store and Shell gas bar, will create about 85 full and part-time jobs. “This economic development, it’s encouraging from a council perspective that we have international companies now investing millions in our community,” said Walas. “This is good news – we’re bringing business to Brighton, which speaks to community and population growth.” The mayor says feedback from local businesses has been mostly positive in terms of both the McDonald’s and Tim Hortons developments, rather than threatening.

Journalist’s book celebrates 40 years of “welcoming hazards and avoiding humdrum” Brighton – Ron Truman, who began his writing career as a contributor to The Brighton Independent in the 1970s, has written his memoirs and he will be at Lighthouse Books Saturday May 28 to answer questions and to sign books. Polar Bears and Other Scares: Adventures of a Freelance Writer offers an insider’s perspective on newsworthy events covering “40 years of seeking excitement and novelty, welcoming hazards and avoiding humdrum,” Lighthouse said in a release. Truman wrote more than 500 feature stories for The Globe and
Mail about adventure sports, hunting, guns, skiing, women, children, and underwater archaeology. He tagged polar bears, hunted moose, and hand-fed snapping turtles for a geographic magazine and guided foreign journalists on Canadian adventures. As provincial director of emergency information, Truman participated in exercises simulating nuclear accidents and international terrorism, and served as a crisis communicator during 9-11 and SARS. His resume includes director of project development for the world’s largest solar farm in Sarnia.
One of the first writers to popu- the Ontario Provincial Archives and Farley of Brighton “turned the larize stroke information, Truman Public Archives of Canada. book’s cover photo into an eyewrites about his own devastating Local graphic designer Catherine catching work of art.” heart failure and catastrophic strokes. One stroke almost killed him and a blood clot had to be vacuumed out of his brain to save his life. Truman’s work is in a collection “of national and historic importance” held by
Big Macs in Brighton by year-end Continued from page 15 “Competition is healthy and it appears most local businesses are receiving the developments well,” he said. Ultimately the hope is with increased traffic along the 401 corridor, this will inevitably result in more business overall, and further contribute to future economic development, the mayor continued. At this point in the process, the mayor foresees no setbacks moving forward. A number of parties and agencies have weighed in on the approval process thus far,
including Northumberland County, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, Lower Trent Conservation and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC). All concerns have been resolved and those subject to approval have been addressed, Walas confirmed. There will be improvements made in the area concerning traffic at the intersection, for example, to ensure increased public health and safety, Walas reassures residents. “This is going to add to our community,” said Walas. “Students will have further opportunity for employment and others as well, right here in the community.”

upgrade “was reasonably completed,” Brooks noted in his audit, but “some deficiencies in reports provided to the engineers were not addressed” after the work was completed. He went over those deficiencies with council, most of which had to do with things “he might have done differently ... to rectify outstanding issues,” based on his “professional opinion,” he said. “There’s room for improvement.” Brooks said the township needs to look at “land applying” some of the treated sewage sludge that has accumulated in the biosolids pond as well as make “all reasonable efforts” not to exceed the 1,750 cubic metres of sewage flow it is designed to handle each day. That capacity is being tested by “significant infiltration” in the collection system which appears to be systemic but there is also an indication of “fairly concentrated infiltration” in a “localized area,” Brooks said. “We had an eight hour rain event and the plant spiked by close to 4,000 [cubic metres] for four days.” He recommended an annual sewer inspection program be implemented for the next two to four years to assess its condition.

Brooks pointed out that having two employees, whose duties are mostly allocated to roads maintenance, look after prescribed checks, data review, monitoring and reporting at the plant is a “reactionary way to operate,” although it meets all of the regulatory minimum requirements. He compared the delay in getting sample results to driving a car on the highway without breaking the speed limit but not finding out until a week later “how fast you were going.” “The fundamental approach to operating an activated sludge plant is to maintain plant health and efficiency through continual oversight, sampling and monitoring,” Brooks said, in recommending a new operating standard of 30 to 40 hours a week coverage (well above the current level of 15 hours a week). Dan O’Brien, who is stepping down as CAO but continues to serve in that role until a replacement is found, said council would discuss the audit by LUCI at its May 17 meeting when it has a staff report before it. LUCI’s contract to operate the wastewater treatment plant expires this month.

Trent Hills approves engineering work for three major projects By John Campbell Trent Hills – Some major projects, requiring design and engineering work to get started, have been approved by council. DM Wills Consulting Engineers will design upgrades to the Campbellford potable water storage system, and refurbishment of the town’s standpipe at a cost of $573,825. The standpipe, or cylindrical tank on top of the hill overlooking Campbellford, is in critical need of internal relining and exterior recoating. The upgrades will enhance the water treatment facility, including its high lift pumps, backwash area and disinfectant system. DM Wills was also chosen to design reconstruction of sanitary and storm sewers, traffic signals and the road on Doxsee Avenue and Park Street in Campbellford. The price tag is $49,725. The municipality’s request for proposals received seven responses. “Having a project designed and in a tender ready state ... is beneficial when provincial and federal funding opportunities come forward,” general manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration Scott White said in a report to council. The firm of Greer Galloway Con-
sulting Engineers was chosen from eight submissions to design the replacement of the Nappan Island bridge at a cost of $94,565. The actual construction isn’t expected to take place for another three to five years, to accommodate a housing development planned for the island.
Council also approved hiring Davidson Violette to install video surveillance equipment at the Hastings Field House for $15,867. It was the lowest of six quotes received. White said, “There have been concerns about protection of the exterior of the facility, in particular the
dome fabric from vandalism and horseplay” since it opened last year. A video monitoring system “will be one more barrier and deterrent for this type of behaviour,” to go along with the 1.8 metre high chain link fence that was erected around the perimeter.
“Recreational staff has also raised concerns regarding the ability of staff to effectively monitor the sports play area at all times,” White added in his report. The cameras will monitor the court, turf and walking track as well.

Campellford – Details of the second annual “Bike Up Northumberland!” charity cycling ride have been announced for Sat., Sept. 10, in support of two area hospitals. Cyclists are already gearing up to raise money for the Campbellford Memorial (CMH) and Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) foundations. Two new co-chairs will take the lead this year and they are: Calvin Newman, president of Newman Oliver & McCarten Insurance Brokers Ltd. and Randy Albon, a director of the Northumberland Hills Cycling Club. Both men will lead a dedicated team of volunteers on the organizing committee. Both have a keen interest and knowledge of cycling. “Bike Up Northumberland! is truly a county-wide event,” said Newman. “This is going to be a spectacular event, and I’m honoured to be co-chairing this year with Randy. Cycling is a great activity for building community spirit and I encourage everyone to grab their families, friends and their bikes and ride with us in September.” The ride will start at Donogan Park and travel along the scenic waterfront trail with distances ranging from 5 km, 10 km, 25 km,
Car crash survivor tells students to avoid crossing the ‘stupid line’ than 30 years ago when a drunk worse, killed her mother. driver crossed the “stupid line” “A lot of people think that what Campbellford – Melissa Hague’s and caused the car crash that left happened to me was an accident,” life was radically changed more her paralyzed at the age of 12, and Hague told grades 11 and 12 students at Campbellford District High School, May 18. It wasn’t a random act of fate. As is the case with most instances when someone is badly hurt or killed, her tragedy could have been prevented had someone not made “a really bad choice” to spend the day drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana and then getting behind the wheel, she said. Her hour-long No Regrets live presentation was about making the right choices because more than 700 Canadian youths die every year due to injuries that could have been prevented. “I‘m not here to ask you to stop living your lives or stop taking risks, that in and of itself would be a different kind of paralysis,” but to take “calculated smart risks,” she said. “You can live great lives and not get hurt,” by following the five key
By John Campbell
messages she was there to make, on behalf of Safe Communities Northumberland County and Parachute Canada: Buckle up. Look first. Wear the gear. Get trained. And drive sober. The “stupid line is that line of choice that separates a smart risk from a stupid risk,” Hague said, such as diving into water without first checking its depth or underwater hazards, or being “dared or pressured [by a friend] to do something that‘s beyond your ability.” “There are some things in life that can‘t be undone, and then you have to live with the fact” that you hurt yourself or someone else because of a bad decision. Her mother once told her that, “No matter what happens in life, we have to make the best of it,” and Hague has done so, although “sometimes it can get really hard.” If, by sharing her story with young people it leads to them making a good decision at a crucial time, it will mean what happened to her “wasn‘t wasted,” she said.
Hague‘s talk was the third in two days to high schools in Northumberland, the others taking place in Port Hope and Cobourg. CDHS will follow up this week with a special presentation in advance of the June 3 prom “to raise awareness of how to get home safely” that evening, said CDHS student retention counsellor Crista Hunt, who sits on the Northumberland Drug Action Committee. Grade 11 students McKayla Hart and Jordan Hawken were impressed by what Hague had to say. “It was really eye-opening just how bad something can get with a stupid little mistake,” Hawken said. Hart, a barrel racer, said it made her fully appreciate the risk of being injured by exercising a horse without wearing a helmet. Getting hurt “can happen any time,” she said.

Melissa Hague was paralyzed for life when she was 12 in a car crash that also killed her mother. She urged Campbellford District High School students to take “smart risks” in enjoying life to the fullest while testing the limits of their abilities, and to recognize the consequences that come with making “really bad choices.” Her presentation was arranged by Safe Communities Northumberland County and Parachute Canada, with donations of $1,000 from Giant Tiger and $300 from Eagle Airfield.

June is
DAIRY MONTH Packed with 16 Essential Nutrients Whether there’s skim, 1%, 2%, homogenized or chocolate milk in your glass, you always get the same 16 essential nutrients. In addition to being fortified with vitamin D, milk is also a natural source of 15 essential nutrients. Whether it is skim, 1%, 2% or homogenized, chocolate or powdered, milk provides basically the same nutritious elements. However, the fat content changes, and for chocolate milk, the sugar content. As well, milk contains about 85% water, making it an effective thirst quencher. Here’s a brief look at what milk contains: Protein: Helps build and repair body tissues, including muscles and bones, and plays a role in the creation of antibodies which fight infection. Vitamin A: Aids bone and tooth development. Also aids in the maintenance of night vision and healthy skin. Vitamin B12: Aids in red blood cell formation. Vitamin B6: Factor in the conversion of food into energy and tissue formation, including bones. Riboflavin: Factor in the conversion of food into energy and tissue formation.
Niacin: Aids in normal growth, and is a factor in the conversion of food into energy and tissue formation, including bones. Thiamine: Releases energy from carbohydrate and aids normal growth. Pantothenic acid: Factor in the conversion of food into energy and tissue formation, including bones. Folate: Aids in red blood cell formation. Vitamin D: Enhances calcium and phosphorus absorption, on which strong bones and teeth depend. Calcium: Aids in the formation and maintenance of strong bones and healthy teeth. Magnesium: Factor in bone and teeth health, conversion of food into energy and tissue formation. Phosphorus: Factor in the formation and maintenance of strong bones and healthy teeth. Potassium: Aids in the correct functioning of nerves and muscles. Zinc: Factor in tissue formation, including bones, and conversion of food into energy. Selenium: Factor in the correct functioning of the immune system, due to its antioxidant effect.

Peterborough – If at first you do succeed, don’t stop there, succeed some more. That, apparently, is the motto the Blue Dragons of East Northumberland Secondary School live by as they captured yet another COSSA team title May 19, amassing 672.5 points at Peterborough to easily outdistance second-place St. Theresa (274) and 31 other central Ontario high schools. East Northumberland topped both divisions, boys and girls, with its male entrants collecting a combined 398.5 points, and the females 274.

Rare event down on the farm – cow gives birth to triplets By John Campbell Brighton – A cow having twins is still a rare event but triplets – that was quite a shocker for Richard and Judy Rzezniczak. It happened May 16 when one of the purebred Hereford cows on their hobby farm near Orland gave birth to two males and a female. Judy was the first to learn what had happened. She had just put the couple’s two girls on the school bus shortly before 9 a.m. when she looked over to a far field and saw the expectant mother, Miss Zara, showing signs she was in labour. She raced back to the house to get binoculars and when she looked again, “there was a little calf at her feet,” Rzezniczak said. She phoned her husband at work in Grafton and he told her to make sure the two were okay. As she was walking toward them, she spied “another little white head” off to the left. “I thought, omigawd, twins, that’s awesome,” she said. But when she got closer, she saw yet another small, white head poking up,
making it three calves. So back to the house she ran and phoned her husband once more, starting off with “You’re not going to believe this ...” “He thought she was going to have twins because she was pretty big,” Rzezniczak said, so when he learned it was triplets, his reaction was familiar: “He said, ‘Omigawd.” He then told his boss he had to leave right away, and “just dropped everything and came home.” Which she’s glad he did, because “I didn’t know what I was doing,” Rzezniczak, a cashier at No Frill’s in Campbellford, said with a laugh. The two “were really concerned” because “they say the first 24 to 48 hours are critical,” but all three -- Dusty, Dexter and Dino -- survived, although there was briefly a small scare with one of the calves. A veterinarian was summoned, antibiotics administered and now “everything’s fine,” Rzezniczak said. “It’s so hard to believe she had three,” Richard said. Meet a rarity of nature, calf triplets -- Dusty, Dexter and Dino – and their mother, Miss Zara, who gave birth to them May 16 at Cedar Ridge Herefords on County Road 30 south of “Everyone I’ve talked to Orland. Photo by John Campbell are quite surprised.”

Had enough of Hydro One rates? Protest planned for Belleville June 4 By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Frustration over hydro costs in Ontario is expected to spill onto the streets on Saturday, June 4 as protests are being planned in several cities, including Belleville. A demonstration is being planned for 1 to 3 p.m. on the day and protesters are expected to walk along Bell Boulevard, from the Sidney to North Front Street intersections. Donna Milton, a Belleville resident involved in planninhttps:// legacy.metroland.com/
O WA / ? a e = I t e m & t = I P M . Note&a=New#g the demonstration, says it’s intended to be a peaceful demonstration. The protest was born out of a Facebook group called “Hydro One Enough is Enough.” The group has more than 26,000 members. While Milton lives in Belleville and says she gets her power through Veridian, she says she’s concerned about stories she hears from Hydro One customers in other places in the province. She’s heard stories of people who are paying up to $3,000 a month for hydro.
“People are deciding if they should pay for hydro or pay for food,” she said. “Some are walking away from their homes.” Part of the group’s message will be that hydro is an essential service and people shouldn’t have to even consider shutting their hydro off. Milton said she worries for people on life-support machines or people who need to refrigerate medications, but are at risk of losing power. The protesters’ messages will be directed at the ruling Liberal government, which has for several years has faced criticism for its
handling of hydro-related issues. The government is in the process of privatizing Hydro One, a move that’s been scrutinized by both the Progressive Conservatives and NDP. Opponents worry privatization could lead to higher rates, although the Liberals maintain the money from the sale can help the province improve public transit and other critical infrastructure. Milton says the group has been in contact with Hastings-Prince Edward Member of Provincial Parliament Todd Smith and has his
support. That’s not surprising given that Smith is the PC’s Associate Energy Critic. Milton said she’s most frustrated with the fact that hydro rates have caused concern in the province for a long time, but nothing seems to be getting done about it. “Letters keep going into these offices and nothing is getting done,” she said. Protests are planned in several other cities on that day, including Kingston and Brockville, Milton said.

Get to know your plants at June workshops GRAND OPENING When you stroll around your property, can you name the flowers and trees? If you need help identifying the plants, come to the workshop, Know Your Plants, on June 9 and 12, just north of Belleville. The Hastings Stewardship Council and the Local Wood Initiative are hosting these sessions to teach people how to identify plants on their own land. Many thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their funding support. Peter Fuller and David Smallwood, local specialists in plant identification, will lead the June 9 indoor session and the June 12 outdoor field trip, both at the Frink Centre near Belleville. On June 9, Peter Fuller, owner of Fuller Native and Rare Plants (located east of Belleville), will illustrate lots of native perennial flowers and other plants with PowerPoint photos and with real specimens from his nursery. He will also enlighten participants about understory plantings (plants that will grow under the canopy of taller trees) and invasive plants. The slide show will demonstrate habitat areas: from sun to shade, and from wet to dry areas. On the June 12 field trip, Peter and David
will lead a leisurely tour through the beautiful trails of the Frink Centre. Learn the names and features of many different plants and trees, including best habitat and growing conditions. Keys to identification will be emphasized. David Smallwood is a Forest Technician who has been involved in resource management in the private and public sectors for many years. He will present a brief history of local forests and the main identification points of native species common to the area. The importance of species from wildlife, environmental and utilisation (including First Nations use) perspectives will be highlighted as well. The Know Your Plants workshop takes place on two days: Thursday June 9 (6-9 p.m.) indoors, and Sunday June 12 (10 a.m. - 1 p.m.) outdoors. Both at the HR Frink Outdoor Education Centre at 381 Thrasher Road, Plainfield The cost for the two events is $20/person.

Police issue sketch of shooter suspect City police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspect in a January shooting in east end Belleville. On January 8, just after 8 p.m., officers were called to a home on O’Neill Drive in the city’s east end. Upon arrival, police located a man inside the home who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. After paramedics had taken the man, who has not been identified by police but who was reportedly renting the home from the owners, officers of the Belleville Police Service with the assistance of the Ontario Provincial Police TRU team and OPP Canine Unit searched the area unsuccessfully. Several households in
the area were locked down for a short period of time during the search. Belleville police, in a press conference May 18, said the force has been “working collaboratively with our policing partnerships in this investigation, and as a result, we are seeking community support by releasing a composite drawing of a person of interest in this investigation.” Anyone with information about the identity of this male or regarding this investigation is asked to contact either the dedicated Tip Line at 613-966-5667 or Quinte Crimestoppers at 613-969-8477 or 1-800222-TIPS.
Police issued this sketch of the suspect in a Jan. 8 shooting in Belleville. Belleville Police image.

to work with Campbellford’s four schools in identifying movies that appeal to students and teachers, as well as “meet curriculum requirements,” Russ Christianson said. They will serve as “additional motivation” for learning. The theatre is not being used much during the day “and it would be great for the schools to utilize [it] as a community-owned asset.” The movies chosen would be “applicable and appropriate” for different subjects and different grades, Christianson said. “It makes it really easy for the teachers ... to provide enriched lessons for the students using the theatre as a way to help motivate” them. Admission would be $5 to cover the costs of the not-for-profit organization, now in its sixth year as a cooperative. “It’s really an interesting project,” that‘s going to be of long-term benefit to the community, foundation executive director Martha Murphy said. The service is expected to begin in
the fall, with six to eight movies being shown over the course of the school year, Christianson said. Aron is the first recipient of the 15th Anniversary Oak Tree Partnership Grant. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church received the first 15th Anniversary Acorn Grant, $1,500, which it is using to acquire a commercial-grade barbecue. The foundation invested in 30 community projects this year, adding up to $272,659. Grant recipients included: Campbellford and District Curling and Racquet Club, $5,000, for weight room improvements; Community Care Northumberland, $5,000, for expansion of its wellness program for older adults and seniors; Hillcrest Public School, $5,000, for installation of two permanent soccer nets; Kent Public School, $5,000, for playground equipment; Campbellford Legion, $5,000, for the purchase of an energyefficient appliance; St. John’s United Church, $5,000,
for an LED sign to promote community events; Community Living Campbellford/Brighton, $4,859, for a tech lending library; Bridge Hospice, $5,000, for an outreach and recruitment project; VON, $3,500 for adult day program; Westben Arts Festival Theatre, $5,000, for renovation of technical booth; Campbellford and District High School, and $3,000 for a speaker series on motivating youth to take action. The foundation also handed out 11 Job Opportunity for Youth grants, with all but three being for $5,000. The money will pay for the hiring of co-ordinators, assistants and support staff. The largest grants were for the third instalments of money committed to the recreation re-development of Trent Hills’ Campbellford campus. The foundation paid out $50,000 from its community fund and $96,112 from the municipal fund.

Canada. Rooney was recently appointed by the federal government as Canada’s first Financial Literacy Leader and her mandate is to engage, collaborate and coordinate activities throughout Canada to strengthen financial literacy. Registration for the event takes place between 8:15 and 8:45 a.m., with speeches starting shortly after. Later that m o r n i n g , participants will
also be able to share ideas with Carol Coupland and Jim Drennan, two Loyalist College professors who teach financial literacy. There’s no cost to attend, but people are encouraged to RSVP to Jane Simpson at jane@ janesimpsonfinancial.ca Later in the afternoon, presentations will take place at Moira Secondary School and Nicholson Catholic College to educate students on financial issues. The day’s activities have been planned by Roli Tipper, of Tipper Financial Services Ltd., Jane Simpson, of Simpson Financial, and Jenny Woods, of Quinte Business Accounting. Tipper said he learned of Rooney’s work when he saw her speak at a conference in Toronto last November, a month that’s recognized as Financial Literacy Month in Canada. The two discussed holding a Financial Literacy Day in Belleville and after working out logistics a date was arranged. Tipper describes the topic of financial literacy as “the elephant in
the room,” meaning everyone knows it’s an important topic to discuss, but some are unsure how to broach the subject. In today’s economy – one where interest rates are low and the temptation to borrow money is huge – it’s crucial that people know how to manage their money effectively. “It’s a basic understanding of how money works; how you to best go about saving money and how to structure debt – because there’s good debt and bad debt,” he said, defining the topic. Tipper said it’s also important that people understand “the power of interest rates.” While in recent years interest rates have been low, financial experts are expecting that to change eventually. And people who don’t have a solid understanding of how debt levels accumulate upwards, could be in for a surprise when that happens. “There are adults making poor financial decision,” he said. “There could be a big sticker shock, two years, five years, eight years down the road.”
Quinte Conservation volunteer recognized for 20 years of service Quinte Conservation recently recognized local volunteer Randy Vincent for 20 year of service to the environmental agency. Communications Manager Jennifer MayAnderson said, “We appreciate Randy’s dedication to our organization. The commitment of volunteers like Randy helps us in our goal of creating a healthy watershed.

Staff Sergeant/ Detachment Commander Peter Valiquette to retire in June By Margriet Kitchen Madoc – Ontario Provincial Police Staff Sergeant Peter Valiquette will be retiring from active duty at the beginning of June. The decision will end a 31-year policing career that started in South Porcupine in 1985, and led him to become Detachment Commander at Madoc/ Centre Hastings OPP in 2000. He took time out from another busy day on May 17, as the Madoc office hosted the Provincial OPP Special Olympics Torch Run. “I was born in the Ottawa area. Police work is something I wanted to do from childhood. After retirement I am going to continue in another type of job in this area, where my wife and I will continue to live. I have been here for 17 years, and right now I am the longest serving Detachment Commander in the province. It’s been both an honour and a pleasure to serve the communities but I have always been very fortunate to have excellent people working with me and I think it bodes well for the future of the organization for the
type of commitment we get from our people. They have always been so understanding of the direction of the organization and the things we need to do for our communities, and the things that are ultimately Retiring Centre Hastings/Madoc OPP Detachment Commander, S/Sgt.

the Water Safety section on the Public Health’s Website at www. hpepublichealth.ca “Public Health staff collects a minimum of five water samples from each beach scheduled for monitoring that week,” said Andrew Landy, Senior Public Health Inspector. “These samples are sent to a provincial lab and tested for bacteria levels.” When bacterial counts exceed provincial guidelines, Public
Health staff will post warning signs at the beach advising that the water is unsafe for swimming. “Public Health 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,” said Landy. “High levels of bacteria in recreational water can cause skin, ears, eyes, nose and throat infections and stomach disorders.” These bathing beaches will
be tested once a week over the summer months: Centennial Park, Deseronto; Frankford Park, Trent River; Legion Park, Marmora, Crowe River; Tweed Park, Stoco Lake; Wellington Beach, Wellington Bay. These bathing beaches will be tested once every two weeks over the summer months: Centennial Park, Northport Bay of Quinte; Kingsford Conservation Area, Salmon River; Moria Lake Park, Moira Lake; Roblin Lake Park, Roblin Lake. These bathing beaches will be tested once a month in June, July and August: Booster Park Beach, Crowe Lake; Diamond Lake Beach, Diamond Lake; Echo Beach,
Papineau Lake; Fosters Lake Beach, Fosters Lake; Hinterland Beach, Kaminiskeg Lake; L’Amable Lake Dam, L’Amable Lake; Riverside Park, York River; Steenburgh Lake; Wollaston Lake Beach, Wollaston Lake. The public can also take steps to reduce the chances of these beaches being closed. “We all need to do our part to improve water quality,” said Landy. He 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 run-off from feedlots and manure piles are properly contained.

TRAVEL
A Spectacular Glacier Cruise in Alaska’s Prince William Sound
By John M. Smith When my wife and I took the Holland America cruise and land tour package from Vancouver into Alaska and the Yukon, our tour ended in Anchorage. We’d already decided that we’d spend some extra time in this fascinating destination before flying back home, so we set up a day tour to nearby Prince William Sound. After all, it’s known for its calm waters, high concentration of glaciers, its deep carved fjords, and its abundance of wildlife. This seemed to be a perfect way for us to spend a day – and it was! We didn’t have a car here, so we were able to arrange a “Cruise and Rail Transportation Package”. We boarded the Discovery Glacier Train in Anchorage at 9:45 am, and it took us to Whittier. We boarded the Kenai Star for our 4.5 hour cruise with Major Marine Tours, and then we took the train back to Anchorage that evening, arriving at about 9:15 pm. It made for a rather long, full day, but it was well worth it for the memories. Perhaps surprisingly, we discovered that the train trip itself was part of the adventure, for we passed magnificent coastal views of Turnagain Arm as we departed Anchorage. After all, we were traversing an area known for
having the second highest tides in the world (the highest are in Canada’s very own Bay of Fundy), and the vast mud flats at low tide, adorned by a plethora of waterfowl, makes for quite a scene. We also encountered immense forests, towering waterfalls, and spectacular glaciers along this route. Just prior to reaching our destination of Whittier, we went through the longest combined rail-highway use tunnel of them all, the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. This was particularly unique, for it’s used by both trains and motor vehicles, but not at the same time. This toll tunnel has scheduled times for the motor vehicle traffic, so this traffic has to simply stop and wait while our train goes through. Upon arrival in Whittier, we soon boarded our cruise ship for our exploration of Prince William Sound. One of the wonderful aspects of this particular area, a “claim to fame” if you will, is that it’s so calm and protected here that there’s a “no seasickness” guarantee. We simply glided along over the smooth water and enjoyed the scenery. We were surrounded by pieces of floating ice, but the ride itself was very gentle. Indeed, our only real problem was that it was an overcast day, and there was even some rain. We worried that this would hurt our photo ops, but
Viewing a waterfall and a kittiwake rookery on our cruise.
our captain announced that this type of day actually often was the best kind of day for witnessing a calving, where chunks of ancient glacial ice suddenly break off and crash into the water. It was only a few minutes later, while next to a glacier, that we, indeed, wit-
nessed this very phenomenon! What a sight! There was a sudden loud noise, followed by an actual gigantic calving! It was almost as if this scene was following a Hollywood script, for first came the captain’s suggestion and then came this incredible experience!

excursion, but our crew even grabbed chunks of the floating ice directly out of Prince William Sound for us. We could then view and even taste this melting ice. Now that’s a cold, refreshing drink! Complimentary binoculars were also available on board, for many of us were also on the lookout for wildlife, including bald eagles, whales, sea otters, and harbor seals. Our biggest find of the day on this particular trip was of a very large kittiwake rookery, for thousands of these black-legged birds were flying and nesting along the rocky cliffs. We also visited Hidden Falls, which is tucked away around a corner in Prince William Sound, and this was another great photo op. We were even close enough to feel the mist from this enormous waterfall that’s located along the rugged coastline. Yet another important part of this 4.5 hour cruise is the inclusion of an allyou-can-eat buffet style dinner of Alaska salmon and prime rib. It’s quite a feast! We eventually completed our exploration of Prince William Sound and returned to Whittier, where we again boarded the train and returned to Anchorage. We concluded that our day trip by train and our Prince William Sound Glacier Cruise had been a very worthwhile excursion and a great adventure!

The Good Earth:
Garden rotation and fresh for all
Dan Clost Gentle Reader, this week’s column is, perhaps, a titch late if you’re languishing in the southern banana belt; if you’re north of 7, then we’re spot on. We’re talking about vegetable gardens and crop rotation. Several paragraphs were originally penned in 1998 and remain relevant today. However, there are two little bits of explanation required. We are now familiar with nematodes as “beneficial” grub seeking destroyers and have likely forgotten that there are eleventy-eleven gazillion types of nematodes, some of which can wreak havoc in an apple orchard, an onion field and your vegetable garden. The second change is that we are not as accustomed to managing our fertilizers/nutrients as we once were. We buy fertilizer based on the picture on the container; we even buy soil mixes the same way. It works but it is a bit of an expensive way to go and it allows the “gardener” to get by without really understanding what
the plant needs and how best to meet those needs. Crop rotation is the growing of two or more crops in a regular sequence on the same land over many years. This is something that good farmers do. The reasons are many: care of soil structure, best use of nutrients, reduction in soil borne diseases, prevention of nematodes, breaking weed cycles, and a host of other reasons. The good farmers do it because they are responsible stewards of the land and, from a purely economic perspective, it works. A good gardener can do it too. It doesn=t matter how large a vegetable plot you have; in fact, it doesn=t matter if you grow your vegetables in different locations instead of one main garden. Here is the Langenberg Rotation for vegetable crops. Bill Langenberg was the market-garden organics expert at the University of Guelph. He divided vegetables into four categories: 1) fruit crops
such as potatoes, tomatoes, egg plants, sweet corn and peppers, 2) legumes such as peas and beans, 3) root crops such as beets, parsnips, onions, carrots, and glads; and, 4) leafy crops such as cabbage and head lettuce. Here=s how to do it: divide your garden, no matter its size or actual location- some folks will plant things like carrots in a perennial bed because the foliage is worthyinto the four sections and plant the appropriate crop. The following year, group one plants get moved to the group two patch of ground, group two moves to group three and so on. Four years later, group one plants will have returned to their starting point. With this rotation, soil amendments can be tailored to the needs of each group resulting in less cost of materials and more efficient use by the plants. In general, group one can take compost and blood meal, group two accepts lime if the soil is
highly acid, group three will benefit from blood meal and bone meal. Lastly, group four crops will welcome barnyard manure. Organic gardeners looking for acceptable forms of potassium and magnesium may try sulfate of potash magnesium. The common name is APatentkali@ and that is, admittedly, a phonetic representation of the Dutch word. Whilst we’re busy moving our crops about, try to orient the rows north to south whenever possible. Leaves will dry more quickly l e s s e n i n g chances of associated diseases and there will be less shading. End Notes: Fresh For All is a great initiative where we all can help grow food for those
in need. Simply plant an extra row and, when harvest time comes, bring your bounty into the many conveniently located drop-off points. If you are reading this column, no matter which edition, there will be a drop-off point near you, from Coe Hill to Picton. There are many different organizations spearheading this initiative in their own region but if you go to www. freshforall.ca or simply contact your local food bank, you’ll soon find the information you need.
