Brighton – Presqu’ile Provincial Park is closed until further notice due to flooding. In a post online the park’s website, it states, “Due to heavy spring rains, which have caused higher than normal water levels in Lake Ontario, Presqu’ile Provincial Park is closed until further notice.” Communications officer for Ontario Parks Alison Lake confirmed the decision to close the park was made Monday, following heavy rains early in the morning. “With the higher water levels and then the storm that came through early Monday morning, it was too much,” said Lake. “It’s [the water] not clearing as fast as we would like it to and so we had to make the decision to close the park.” The heavy rains have reportedly resulted in localized flooding on park roads, campsites, trails and beach areas. “Anyone who was in the park was asked to leave and we’ve been ensuring full refunds,” said Lake. All campsite reservation holders are also being contacted and offered a full refund or the option to change their reservation with no penalty, the park’s online posting said. “This was done as a precaution,” said Lake of the closure Monday evening. “There’s no danger at all. Our number one priority is the public’s health and safety and then we also have to think about the park’s infrastructure and right now the soil is so saturated.” Lake said limiting the impacts to

the park itself as much as possible is important, as much of the habitat is sensitive. Ontario Parks staff is continuing to assess the situation. While Presqu’ile park yearly may deal or endure some level of spring flooding and certain areas, trails or campsites may get wetter than normal and as a result get closed off to

the public, Lake couldn’t confirm whether the park as a whole had ever closed before now as a result of flooding. As for when the park may reopen that decision is more up to mother nature, admits Lake. “We’re working as best we can right now,” said Lake. “We’ll just have to wait and see how the wa-

ter levels go down. We are eager to have people in our Ontario parks… but we also need to protect our parks, so people can continue to have the best experiences there.” Staff will continue to monitor conditions daily. Park visitors are encouraged to check www.ontarioparks.com for updates.

Brighton-Cramahe Township-Trent Hills – Police used a conducted energy weapon to subdue a man wielding a large butcher knife May 28. The incident occurred shortly after 9 p.m. when Northumberland OPP officers responded to a report of a person causing a disturbance at a Hastings-area home. The man ran from the officers into the kitchen where he grabbed the knife. No one was injured. A 29-year-old Oshawa man was charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. May 27 • A resident on Garry Street in Campbellford reported the theft of cash from his unlocked vehicle sometime overnight. May 26 • A Nissan Xterra was stopped around 9 p.m. by an officer on general patrol who spotted the SUV being driven erratically on Grand Road in Campbellford. A 42-year-old Trent Hills woman was charged with impaired care and control of a motor vehicle, and care and control of a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content that exceeded the legal limit. • A woman causing a disturbance at a Brighton motel was confronted by police shortly after 9:15 p.m. Officers spoke to the intoxicated female who repeatedly refused to calm down and return to her unit for the night. Northumberland OPP said she eventually entered her unit but returned moments later with a kitchen knife that she swung at the officers. It took several demands by them to drop the knife before she finally complied. No one was injured. Deborah Lynn Thompson, 59, Brighton, was charged with two counts of assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, causing a disturbance, and being intoxicated in a public place. May 22 • Police attended a Colborne residence to resolve a neighbour dispute involving a fence being cut in half. Officers spoke to

both owners and determined the dispute arose from a misunderstanding of an earlier agreement and was a civil matter. • A new resident to Canada was travelling on Highway 401 in the Brighton area when she received a call from a person claiming to represent the Canada Revenue Agency. She was threatened with arrest for past due taxes. The woman dialed 9-1-1 to determine if she should stay at the side of the highway and await police. She was informed the call was a common scam and that no police officers would be coming to arrest her. Officers directed her to contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre to report the incident. May 21 • Police responded to a threat of suicide on the railroad tracks in Brighton at 1 a.m. Officers located the local man, requested a stop train order and eventually apprehended him for his own safety. Police used a conducted energy weapon when he threatened to harm himself using a sharp object. The individual, who was uninjured, was transported to a local hospital for treatment. No charges resulted. Police were notified a large group of people were fighting outside the Campbellford arena around 1:40 a.m. The crowd had dispersed by the time officers arrived. May 20 • Police responded to a single motor vehicle rollover on westbound Highway 401 in the Brighton area around 11:15 a.m. The lone driver was extricated from the black Honda Civic and transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Officers determined the 65-year-old female driver from Prince Edward Island had been in medical distress at the time of the collision, so no charges were laid. May 19 • A resident on Bay Street East in Hastings reported the theft of both licence plates from his car sometime in the past six months. The number is BLMX497.

Volunteers still needed for flooding in Brighton BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – Record high water levels and flooding continue to create challenges for residents and the municipality. Conditions are currently stable, but the water isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, said CAO Bill Watson, on Monday, May 29. The CAO had no significant or serious developments to report Monday following the weekend, though many residents continue to battle floodwaters. Presqu’ile Provincial Park also as of Monday, had closed until further notice due to flooding. “We remain at the mercy of the wind,” said Watson. “But overall, right now we’re holding pretty steady thanks to the efforts of many [volunteers] and have been holding pretty steady over the last week.” Watson met with both Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson and Deputy Fire Chief Rick Caddick Monday, to review and discuss plans for the coming week. The focus for staff and the municipality remains the monitoring and pumping behind the barriers, the rearranging of pumps, as needed, the sandbag barrier walls and fixes as needed, said Watson. All sandbag barriers constructed within the past two weeks reportedly continue to hold and the pumping continues to protect homes impacted. On Friday, May 26, the Lower Trent Conservation Authority reported the flood warning for Lake Ontario and the Bay of Quinte shoreline from Grafton to Quinte West would remain in effect until Friday, June 16. Within Lower Trent’s latest update, it also said, “Water levels have generally stabilized and are expected to begin a gradual decline at some point over the next several weeks.” However, the

authority warned residents, increases in water levels are still possible during periods of heavy rain. “Residents living in low-lying, flood prone shoreline areas should anticipate high water level conditions to persist well into the summer months,” Lower Trent says. The flood warning for the Trent River has been cancelled. A water safety statement remains in effect for the next several weeks. On Monday, Watson acknowledged the efforts of the many volunteers including those from the Presqu’ile Yacht Club and local church groups for their unwavering commitment to help residents affected by flooding. Volunteers continue to fill sandbags and man pumps overnight. “We know the volunteers manning the pumps are getting tired,” said Watson. “We’re trying to figure something out – what we have going right now is working very well…” But, the CAO at the same time doesn’t want to see volunteers getting worn down, he said. “We’ve had a lot of donations and a lot of volunteers working very hard,

but this is going to continue on for at least a few more weeks,” so plans are going to have to evolve, said Watson. “We know people are getting frazzled, this has already been a long, long time for folks.” Among those making donations recently was Jim Jarrell, from the Jarrell Chalmers Group. He lent the residents of Gosport a drum and pump and donated 200 litres of unleaded gasoline. In the municipality’s latest flood release update issued Monday, staff put out another call for more volunteers. As the lake remains at record levels, “all indications are that we will be coping with the flood conditions for

an extended period of time,” the statement read. Anyone wishing to volunteer can call the fire department at 613-4751744. Residents wanting an assessment of a flooding situation should also call the department. For after hours emergencies, call 613-967-8707. Staff is also reminding residents with the length of time that properties have been affected by floodwaters, there is a high probability homes on private wells and septic systems could be impacted. Information and test kits for wells and septic systems are available at 67 Sharp Rd., during business hours.

Brightonians and furry friends march to help those in need BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – If you’re a Canadian who has a medical or physical disability, Brightonians and their furry friends are in your corner. Residents alongside their furry companions last weekend marched through town sharing their message, as the Lions Club of Brighton hosted its annual Lions Foundation of Canada Walk for Dog Guides. The event raises funds to help Canadians who have a medical or physical disability and who are in need of a dog guide. “It really is such a powerful thing when you’re able to see people paired with a dog and the impact these dogs can have in people’s lives,” said Harvey Moore, organizer of the Brighton walk. A canine vision dog guide for instance, can give people a new set of eyes. Moore’s also served on the foundation’s board of directors for several years and has participated in annual walks in support of the foundation around Ontario for about 30 years now. He’s organized the Brighton walk the last four years and has long said

nizer insists. This year’s event raised about $3,870, Moore confirmed Sunday, May 28. “It’s not bad, this isn’t the highest amount we’ve raised in the last couple years,” said Moore. “It’s hard, there really are a lot of charities and causes out there that need help.” With that said, every dollar raised matters, added Moore. To breed, train, raise and pair a dog guide with a person in need, it costs around $26,000, the organizer noted. “So it’s really expensive – but it’s also really amazing what these dogs can do for people,” said Moore. “At some point, I think it would be nice to have a dog guide demonstration – just so people could see and I guarantee, they’d find it unbelievable at first, because the relationships these dog guides have with people it’s just that spectacular.” The foundation relies solely on fundraising initiatives to help pair people with physical or medical disabilities with a dog guide and at no cost to people in need. The foundation receives no government funding. This is also why people like 11-yearold Charlotte Gorrie are so important and inspirational, said Moore.

Charlotte’s been participating in the Brighton walk since the start. This year, the 11-year-old raised more than $1,000 to contribute to the Brighton walk and to help people in need of a dog guide. “Since day one, she’s been so keen,” said Moore. “Every year, she somehow keeps raising more and more, all on her own. She really puts forth a great effort. I mean she’s all over the place asking for pledges and a real go-getter and a positive person for the foundation.” Thanks to sponsorships, all funds raised through the event go directly to help raise, train and place service dogs with Canadians in need. The founding program for the foundation, Canine Vision Canada, was established in 1985 to assist Canadians with visual impairments. The organization now has six dog guide programs to help people. Dog guides now help people who are deaf or hard of hearing, people with a physical disability, people who have epilepsy, kids on the autism spectrum scale and people who have type 1 diabetes with hypoglycemic unawareness. It’s estimated that to date, more than 2,600 dog guides are placed with individuals across Canada.

OPINION

Islamist terrorism: Who’s to blame? It happens after every major terrorist attack by Islamist terrorists in a Western country: the familiar debate about who is really to blame for this phenomenon. One side trots out the weary old trope that the terrorists simply “hate values”, and other Gwynne Dyer our side claims that it’s really the fault of Western governments for sending their troops into Muslim countries. There’s a national election campaign underway in Britain, so the ghastly Manchester bombing last week has revived this argument. It started when Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn (who voted against the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the seven-month bombing campaign that overthrew Libya’s dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011) made a speech in London on Friday. “Many experts, including professionals in our intelligence and security services, have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported or fought in other countries and terrorism here at home,” he said. In a later clarification, Corbyn added: “A number of people since the interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq have drawn attention to the links with foreign policy, including (British foreign secretary) Boris Johnson in 2005, two former heads of MI5 (the Security Service), and of course the (parliamentary) Foreign Affairs Select Committee.” With Labour catching up with the Conservatives in the polls, Prime Minister Teresa May leapt at the chance to twist Corbyn’s words and all but accused him of treason. “Jeremy Corbyn has said that terror attacks in Britain are our own fault ... and I want to make something clear to Jeremy Corbyn and to you: there can never be an excuse for terrorism, there can be no excuse for what happened in Manchester.” Boris Johnson chimed in: “Whatever we do, we can’t follow the logic of the terrorists and start blaming ourselves or our society or our foreign policy. This has been caused not by us – as Jeremy Corbyn would have us believe – it’s been caused by a sick ideology, a perverted version of Islam that hates us and hates our way of life.” But both sides in this argument are wrong. The“Salafi” extremists who are called “Islamists” in the West (all of them Sunnis, and most of them Arabs) do hate Western values, but that’s not why they go to the trouble of making terrorist attacks on the West. And it’s

not because of Western foreign policies either: there were no major Western attacks on the Arab world in the years before the 9/11 atrocity in 2001. There had been plenty of attacks in the past: the Western conquest of almost all the Arab countries between 1830 and 1918, Western military support for carving a Zionist state out of the Arab world as the European imperial powers were pulling out after 1945, Western military backing for Arab dictators and absolute monarchs ever since. The West turned against one of those dictators, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, after he invaded Kuwait, but it had the support of most Arab countries when it drove him out of Kuwait in the first Gulf War in 1990-91. And between then and 9/11 the West did nothing much to enrage the Arab world. Indeed, it was even backing the Palestinian-Israeli “peace process”, which looked quite promising at that time. But there was violence in many Arab countries as Islamist revolutionaries, using terrorist tactics, tried to overthrow the local kings and dictators. Up to 200,000 Arabs were killed in these bloody struggles between 1979 and 2000, but not one of the repressive regimes was overthrown. By the turn of the century it was clear that terrorism against Arab regimes was not working. To win power, the Islamists needed a new strategy. The man who supplied it was Osama bin Laden. He had missed out on the long terrorist war in the Arab countries because he went to Afghanistan to fight a Soviet invasion in 1979. But in Afghanistan he fought in a war that Islamists actually won: having lost 14,000 dead, the Russians gave up and went home in 1989. The Afghan Islamists (the Taliban) came to power as a result. Bin Laden realized that this could be a route to power for the Islamists of the Arab world as well: provoke the West to invade Muslim countries, lead the struggle against the Western occupation forces – and when the Western armies finally give up and go home (as they always do in the end) the Islamists will come to power. That was why he founded al-Qaeda, and 9/11 was intended to sucker the United States into playing the role of infidel invader. Western governments have never recognized this obvious fact because they are too arrogant ever to see themelves as simply the dupes in somebody else’s strategy. Their foreign policy error was to fall for bin Laden’s provocation hook, line and sinker – and they are still falling for it 16 years later.

She sells seething hate for Islam

Editor Chris Malette chris.malette@metroland.com 613-966-2034, ext 510 Regional Managing Editor Ryland Coyne rcoyne@metroland.com

Comment by Chris Malette The headline on the story screamed: “The Real Muslims Are The Terrorists. Period. Here’s How We Make It Common Knowledge.” It was the morning after the Manchester bombing and newspapers and TV news channels were ablaze with coverage. But, the headline wasn’t in a newspaper. It appeared online in a blog and, while it was seen by only a few thousand online followers, its rage and scorn for Islam was jarring. And that’s just the way the writer intended it to be. Its author, a 25-year-old self-styled ‘alternative media’ commentator from Belleville, used it as a platform in the hours after the Manchester bombing to educate all of us that “real Muslims” are the ones who blow up kids at concerts and “fake Muslims” are the ones who calmly carry on their lives in our communities, attend mosques, shop in our stores, serve in Parliament. The latter are not true followers of Islam, according to Belleville’s own beacon of intolerance, one Stefanie MacWilliams. You’d be forgiven for not recognizing her in her hometown, as she likes it to be, but to ask her and her acolytes, she’s a pretty big deal with the far right, veering to alt-right, online miasma. Post Manchester: “Buckle up, my fellow infidels, apostates, kafir, and dogs! There will be more. There will always be more, and it will always get worse. That is, until we actually do something about Islam. And since most of our impotent leaders seem unwilling to do anything about Islam, well, I guess it’s up to us. “And ‘we’ always starts with ‘I’. “I’m Stefanie, I love Good and hate Evil, and I am doing my part to learn about Islam, speak fearlessly about Islam, and most of all, help my readers to do the same.” The “news” site where much of her opinion – and it is all opinion, all the time, despite the fact the outfit bills itself as a “news organization” – is based somewhere in New Jersey and called Halsey News. It describes itself as featuring “accredited journalists from across the world…” None, however, are actual journalists, nor are their names recognizable outside the echo chamber of their ilk, a network of far-right Twitter followers or assorted ranting You Tube channels. The website has little to no advertising, other than ads promoting dating Russian girls, but there’s no shortage there of hate and intolerance. When she’s not trying to single-handedly raise a rambunctious 18-month-old boy, MacWilliams tweets incessantly – up to 100 times

a day – engaging in online rumbles with feminists, “lib-tards” and fancies herself a deft verbal jouster when calling them out on their arguments. This newspaper, it should be noted, was blocked, by MacWilliams, from seeing anything she posts on Twitter some months ago. But, her content is most always based on intolerance, anger and fear-mongering. Of the Manchester bombing on May 22, MacWilliams tweeted: “Islamophobia is not the problem. It is the solution.” On her Twitter feed May 24, MacWilliams, as she often does, bemoaned the fact she still lives in Canada, longing as she does to become an American. “Unfortunately I live in a shitty country where I can’t even protect myself,” she said, on being scared for her life for vehemently proclaiming “I hate Islam with every fiber of my being...” Of her upbringing and current life: “I came from a poor family and now I’m a single mother...” She’s exceptionally proud – and incessantly re-tweets – what she believes to be a clever observation: “Christianity is a good religion that can be perverted to be evil. Islam is an evil religion that can be perverted to be good.” You get the picture. MacWilliams swears she’s researched Islam deeply, almost becoming a Koranic scholar in the “true meaning” of the religion (which she doesn’t term a religion – it’s an ideology and a “death cult”). Within two hours of the attack on London on March 22, she tweeted: “If you’re not scared of Islam, you’re suicidal. Get help.” And: “The onus is on Islam to stop being a barbaric death cult, not on me to assume the best of them as they slaughter Westerners weekly.” On Europe welcoming refugees: “Actually, I oppose mass immigration from inferior cultures, I’m just not a Nazi.” But, she does acknowledge she has been called a racist so many times, the term no longer fazes her. And so it is, then, that the beliefs of this “right millenial” are becoming more mainstream in the instant world of Twitter and the Internet, fortunately for most, within the echo chamber of those far right followers. But, if as she dreams to someday do, she comes to a campus university or town hall meeting to preach her brand of ‘the truth,’ it’d be wise to do that which would torture the poor wretch. Ignore her.

Bid to reject Brighton wastewater system EA rejected BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton – The preferred solution to Brighton's wastewater problems with high ammonia levels and the accumulation of sludge in its lagoon is to install a complementary specialized treatment system at a estimated cost of $6.5 million. But the work done by the consultants who undertook the Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Review came under fire by members of council at a special meeting that took place Monday prior to an open house being held at the King Edward Park Community Centre. Councillor John Martinello complained the process set out for the EA had not been followed by J.L. Richards &amp; Associates, pointing out the assessment only looked at a 20-year planning period, and not 50 as well. Civil engineer Steve Saxton explained there is so much “variability” beyond 20 years that “some people refer to it as crystal balling” and unreliable. “It's too long a horizon,” added chief environmental engineer Brian Hein. “Technologies are going to change, parts are going to wear out.” Councillor Roger McMurray said J.L. Richards' review together with a study done by another firm in 2011 were “not a ringing endorsement” of Brighton's lagoon-based sewage treatment system, “when two engineering firms have reservations on its efficacy. The only thing our wastewater system seems to process effectively is consulting firms.” Citing previous attempts to address the issue, McMurray said he was “really reluctant to endorse” the latest solution, “considering the failures we had and the booboos.” “If this doesn't work, we're in deep ca-ca,” he said. “The lagoon does take out a good amount of contaminants ... but it doesn't have the capability to ensure it's always going to meet your (effluent quality) compliance criterion,” Saxton said. “That's where we need to add another process to help the lagoon complete that ... a polishing process if you will.”

In addition to a specialized treatment system that complements the performance of the existing facility and targets the removal of ammonia, the preferred solution includes upgrading the Harbour Street pumping station and lagoon, removing accumulated sludge, optimizing chemical dosages, and refurbishing the constructed wetland. Councillor Steve Baker asked the engineers if they could “guarantee it's going to fix our problem?” Professional engineers don't provide guarantees – “our insurance doesn't allow us to do that” – but proprietary suppliers will “guarantee the effluent coming out of their system,” Saxton answered. Martinello put forward a motion that council reject the draft EA because it failed to consider a 50-year planning period as required in the request for proposal and it didn't take into account additional loading that might arise as a result of industrial expansion. The consultants also failed to meet with council earlier in the process to receive its input and to answer questions, or explain why “raw sewage is relatively high strength.” They also didn't “identify nonresidential contributions to the waste stream.” Martinello's motion, supported by Baker and McMurray, was defeated by Mayor Mark Walas, Deputy Mayor Laura Vink and councillors Mary Tadman and Brian Ostrander. The same four voted to receive the presentation. “It's egregious what has happened here,” Martinello said, arguing he and McMurray had been requesting for months that the consultants meet

with council. Ostrander agreed the consultants should have come before council sooner. But “I can't agree with halting the process that we're more than halfway down the road ... That would be a wrongheaded move for us to do.” Martinello was unpersuaded. “Mostly we ignored our own RFP that we set out as the standard for the contract.” Baker also re-iterated his opposition: “I don't believe council has been kept informed as much as I feel we should have been.” And for members to be asked to approve spending money on a solution “without being fully informed I don't think is fair to the ratepayers,” he said. “We've been kept in the dark and treated like mushrooms, and that really annoys me,” McMurray said. Ostrander reminded his colleagues they weren't being asked to endorse a specific solution because the Phase 2 report is still to be completed and must be vetted by the ministry. “I really think to suspend the process would be dangerous for this municipality and I think we should just carry on,” he said. The next step is to finalize documentation and confirm the preferred specialized treatment technology. A 30-day period for public comment will follow notice of the review's completion. If there are no objections raised, the best case scenario is that “you would probably take the next eight to 12 months to go through your design work and you could construct within the next 12 to 18 months after that,” Saxton said.

Northumberland Waste Transfer now open for business in Colborne BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Colborne – Garbage in, garbage out. But that’s a good thing for Northumberland Waste Transfer (NWT). It means its business model is working, which is to accept commercial, residential, industrial, and construction/ demolition waste from anywhere in the county. “This facility is designed to take a lot of tonnage in one day,” owner Roger Cheer said. It opened May 19 and after the first couple of days “we were running about 50 tonnes of garbage per day.” Some sorting does take place, to separate out the scrap metal, electronic waste and rubble. In the works is a bin for scrap wood “so it’s not going to the landfill,” Cheer said. All the material collected had been going to the Brighton landfill or other waste transfer stations – Belleville to the east and Courtice to the west. Its location is attractive to area residents and businesses not wanting to travel as far, and being two minutes off Highway 401 adds to its appeal. “So for big trucks and small vehicles, it’s easy access,” Cheer said. With a 1,000-square-foot cement tipping floor and most of the five-acre property paved, “we just make it really easy for the user.” “A lot of people comment on how much room and how nice it is to move around in here,” said Liz McKinnon,

NWT’s office administrator. NWT’s residential customers can drop off “anything from household waste to cleaning up the yard,” Cheer said. The facility, which has five full and part-time staff, is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. It uses a trucking firm in the Kitchener-Waterloo area to haul the garbage to a major landfill not far from it. “It’s a weekly turnover of waste,” Cheer said. The gate rate is $105 a tonne. The plan is to ship some of trash to Michigan, as well, at some point. “Getting rid of waste is very expensive and it’s going to go up because the cost of transportation and the cost of the landfills,” Cheer said.

OPP bicycle patrols set to resume in Northumberland this summer

Memory Junction will not open for the summer BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – The long-loved Memory Junction Railway Museum will not open for the summer of 2017. On behalf of the Bangay family and the museum’s owners, Ralph and Eugenia Bangay, Lynne Heeney made the announcement on Friday, May 19. Heeney is Ralph and Eugenia’s daughter. “Ralph and Eugenia are planning to enjoy retirement and thank all those who have contributed to and supported the museum,” said Heeney Friday. The Bangays founded the museum in 1993 and the museum’s grown over the years to showcase everything from railway history and artifacts, as well as items of historical interest from the Brighton area. Last tallied, Memory Junction featured more than 10,000 unique historical items. “It has an impressive collection of

rolling stock, including a 1906 steam locomotive, all located in the former Brighton Grand Truck railway station, one of the last still standing,” said Heeney. Ralph, who was a plumber by trade in the Brighton and district area for most of his life has long joked that he’s been in every attic, barn and cellar around town. As a result, he’s collected various historical artifacts over the years that otherwise may have been lost for good. From the original railway surveys completed back in 1854, to a 1929 restored wooden Caboose and the Morse code system used in Ottawa when the Titanic sunk – for decades, the Bangays have strived to offer residents the chance to travel back and get lost in time at Memory Junction. Many other items at the museum tell countless stories of several Brightonians and the evolution of the town. Old school photographs have helped

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING The Council of the Municipality of Brighton will hold a public meeting to hear from the public on the proposed rate changes to By-Law 115-2015, dealing with various fees and charges for water and wastewater services This meeting will be held as follows: Monday, June 12, 2017, 6:30 p.m. Council Chambers 35 Alice Street, Brighton Copies of rate information and supporting documentation will be available at the Municipal Office and Brighton Public Library, 35 Alice Street, Public Works Office, 67 Sharp Road and on our website at www.brighton.ca beginning on Wednesday, May 31, 2017. Council shall hear any person who wishes to address these issues during the Public Meeting. 10 Brighton Independent - Thursday, June 1, 2017

reconnect and connect family members and even offered people the chance to see relatives through a photograph, sometimes for the first time. Many of the museum’s pieces like those from the ‘hungry 1930s’ aren’t found anywhere else. Helping local residents and families to know and connect to their heritage and history is something the Bangays have long been passionate about. Eugenia gave tours for years and talked about the evolution and history of the station, when it was built and how it helped build up business during the First World War. The railway station was always a special place to Ralph, even before it became ‘Memory Junction.’ He played in the area as a kid and lived just up the street. That’s why the Bangays purchased the old station when it came up for sale, wanting to save the property and the station. “The Bangay family is interested in the long-term viability of the museum and its artifacts and hopes to use the upcoming months to develop a plan to ensure the museum will reopen and continue with its mission,” said Heeney. Situated on the Grand Trunk Railway property, the station is one-of-nine left of the 32 that were built when the first railway system from Toronto to Montreal was established in 1856. Being it was one of the first railways across the bottom end of Ontario, Ralph has long said it’s a piece of history that deserves to be preserved and cherished.

Brighton — The next time you see police on bikes it won't be because they're raising money for cancer research. They'll be on patrol. Five members with Northumberland OPP recently received three days of training as bicycle patrol officers and another one will soon be qualified as well. Now it's a matter of purchasing two heavy-duty bicycles for use in urban centres throughout Northumberland. “They're big guys,” and the bikes the detachment currently have are too small to be ridden safely, Detachment Commander Insp. Lisa Darling told Brighton Police Services Board May 26. “We can still use those bikes for some of the girls who want to be trained.” To acquire sturdier, larger bikes, worth an estimated $1,000 apiece, Darling is asking each of the six police services boards in the county to donate $400. “Bicycles are not something that the OPP has in our fleet because it's considered an enhanced service,” she said. Bicycle patrols seem “to be catching on” across the province “but right now we don't have them,” she said. “They're great for distracted driving, for one thing, because Book Your

nobody notices” the officer until the offender has been caught out; they're also effective in parks “when you're looking for someone,” she said. “It's really more about community visibility, being out there, in the parks, talking to kids, doing a little more education, things like that,” Darling said, as well as dealing with infractions such a liquor offences. The officers, who will patrol as a pair, will be “doing a lot more community contact because they're more approachable on bicycles.” Committee chair Derek Jeffrey fully supported bicycle patrols as they promote interaction with the public. “It's good to see,” he said. “This is not going to be a first for Brighton,” board member Chuck McLeod noted. “In the late 1990s the community policing committee bought bicycles for the detachment here in Brighton, and they ran that for about three or four years, before the bikes wore out. It was very successful.” The detachment has already bought a bike rack for the back of a cruiser to prevent the bicycles from being stolen when not in use. Darling said she hoped the patrols would commence “by the beginning of July if at all possible. I can't promise that but that's the goal.” Brighton joined Cramahe Police Services Board in agreeing to provide up to $400 for the bikes' purchase.

New hospice care centre to be built in Northumberland BY DOMINIK WISNIEWSKI Metroland Media Northumberland

Northumberland -- A new hospice is coming to Northumberland County that, once open, will improve access to high-quality end-of-life and palliative care for up to 35 patients and their families each year. Dr. Eric Hoskins, the Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, was in Cobourg Thursday May 25 to announce that the province will support the new Community Care Northumberland (CCN) Hospice Care Centre. Trish Baird, executive director of Community Care Northumberland, said the CCN does not have a location for the residential hospice facility secured yet, but it will be located somewhere in West Northumberland. Baird also said she hopes someone may come forward with other options, even a donation of land. “Hospices in Ontario do an excellent job of providing high quality and compassionate care in our communities,” Hoskins said, adding that the province will provide the local centre with $315,000 in annual operating funds once a site is found and construction is complete. “This new funding will support the critical role that Community Care Northumberland already plays in this community, and is an important part of our government’s commitment to expand hospice palliative care across the province so that even more people can benefit from their supports.” He was joined by Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, who said CCN is continuing its long history of compassionate support for members of the community who are most in need. “Our government has made hospice care a priority so that our families and our neighbours know they can get the care required at a time when they are most vulnerable,” he said. The new facility — which is expected to open in March 2019 — will ensure that high-quality and compassionate end-of-life and palliative care is available to meet the growing need for residential hospice care in the region. The centre will provide patients, caregivers and families with seamless access to information, support, referral options and relevant programs. For Trish Baird, the executive director of CCN, the funding announcement is an integral

piece in the development of the organization’s Hospice Services program. “We look forward to working with the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care, Central East LHIN, our local partners and the community to broaden hospice palliative care resources focusing on quality, respect, choice and dignity for clients with life limiting illnesses and their families,” she said. In an interview with reporters, Hoskins said the project is very important, particularly in a part of the province where there isn’t a lot of hospice beds. “The announcement that we’re making today is that, despite the fact those hospice beds are probably a couple of years away, we’re committed to providing operating funding for those beds from the moment they are created,” he added. “We wanted to come out right at the very beginning of that fundraising campaign and say, ‘We’re here with you, we will support you all along the way, and we will fund those hospice beds.’” CCN has 140 trained volunteers as part of its visiting hospice volunteer service, which last year provided 3,750 hours of service to 250 clients. According to a recent study of the Northumberland Hills Hospital catchment area, the need for inpatient palliative care is expected to grow by 75 per cent over the next 25 years. As part of the 2016 Budget, the province announced an additional investment of $75 million in hospice and palliative care over three years. According to the ministry, their support for the new hospice in Northumberland is part of a commitment to support up to 20 additional hospices. “Hospice is so important to our communities, and I think the evidence of that is the overwhelming community support there is any time a community thinks about or plans hospice events,” Hoskins said. The minister said the local project is also timely when it comes to capital funding, since the latest budget outlined plans to support the construction of new hospices. “We’re going to be working with Community Care Northumberland, the local LHIN and the local community, to see how we can support them on capital costs,” he said, adding “This is a huge boost not only to the fundraising campaign, but it takes us a major step forward to realizing hospice beds here in West Northumberland.”

Good ‘tymes’ at Colborne's annual apple blossom festival BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Colborne – Apple Blossom Tyme Festival started under a cloud and ended in sunshine, leaving organizers happy with how things went last weekend. 'We had a great festival ... it went very well,” vice-chair Jay Robinson said. “We had some rain on Saturday but when the sun came out on Saturday afternoon ... the crowds came out.” Attendance shot up the next day. “Sunday was perfect, it was gorgeous. We had really great crowds,” he said. “It was a good weekend all round. We're pretty happy.” Two things stood out:”It was safe and well attended” and “people were very respectful of the grounds. There was very little trash to be picked up,” Robinson said, even though by the end of the festival “we had almost 4,000 people come through ... It was pretty impressive.” He praised municipal staff for the support they provided. More than 80 vehicles took part in the car show. A crowd-pleaser was not having to pay for different attractions. The only thing you had to pay for was a pony ride or a ride in the midway, Robinson said. Mary Shortt Broker

Tiffany Lodder; a military wife who’s giving back

Brighton’s Own: BY VIC SCHUKOV

Tiffany Lodder’s love of motorsports blossomed from childhood, watching the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500 with her father, a stock car racer. Born in Brandon Manitoba, she came to Brighton in 1996 when her husband Diezel, a veteran of 34 years in the Canadian Army as an Airborne parachute rigger who was transferred to Trenton. In 2013, the couple started TLMotorsports, a company that spe-

cializes in Motorsports “event management and fan experience facilitation” at sports car racing events. “We started the company,” said Tiffany, “because we wanted to grow and do something together after Diezel (recently) retired from the military. We host the corrals where fans park next to the racing cars, and meet drivers and guest speakers. On race day, I teach groups about the international motor sports association, and walk them through our business centre,

competition tech, tire workshops and team garages. I like to see people have fun. When you are passionate about something, you want to share that experience. The more time you spend with fans, the more they become family.” Lodder also does the podium events at venues like the Porsche GT3 Cup Canada race at Canadian Tire Motor Sports Park in Bowmanville: “It’s like the circus. Tents go up, and all the fans come to party. Afterwards, it’s taken

down and moved to another town.” Lodder polished her business skills at Loyalist College with a certification in Sports and Entertainment Sales and Marketing, followed by post graduate internship at Florida’s Sebring International Raceway. Last November, the Lodders attended a race held on an old Royal Air Force site at Anglesey Circuit perched on the cliffs of the Irish Sea in Wales. The experience changed their life: “We saw The Race of Remembrance by Mission Motorsports,” said Tiffany. “They retrain and rehabilitate military veterans wounded mentally or physically, through Motorsports, re-integrating them into society through all aspects of racing. Mission Motorsports’ motto: Race-Retrain-Recover.” The event involves 45 race teams with over 120 drivers in a 12 hour endurance relay. The next day, Remembrance Day Sunday, the teams pause in the pits at 10:45 for a Remembrance Day service: “It was the most moving service I’ve ever seen. Diezel and I came home thinking - We are going to do this here.” The Lodders are in talks with their overseas counterparts, and preparing to register TLMotorsports Veterans Racing (NPO) to raise charitable funds to field a multi-national (Canada / USA / UK) entry of disabled veterans in the 2017 Race of Remembrance: “There will one disabled veteran, serving soldier driver and crew member per country with the car and crew chief coming from Mission Motorsport UK.

take a number of disabled veterans and serving soldiers with us as part of Team Canada and Team USA. When people ask Diezel why we want to do this, he replies, ‘Because we can. We have the platform and the connections, and we both got away unscathed (following the Afghanistan war.)’ A lot of families didn’t. I had four women who worked for me whose husbands suffer from PTSD. It affects their whole families. We all lost people we knew in the war.” A formal announcement of the plan, partners and sponsors will be showcased, with press releases, on July 6th at the 6th Annual Pre-race weekend Meet and Greet at the TLMotorsports home. The Lodders envision an all-Canadian team entry of Disabled Canadian Soldiers and Veterans in Wales’ 2018 Race of Remembrance. They plan on bringing the 2019 Race of Remembrance Canada and Race of Remembrance USA to tracks in both countries, and in 2020 open a disabled veteran retraining / rehabilitation Motorsports shop in Belleville: “We want to make the Remembrance Day Race a national program involving Veterans Affairs. It is a huge project.” www.tlmotorsports.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Brighton condo development inappropriate Dear Editor, Condo apartment units are a needed item in Brighton. It would be nice, as a senior, to be able to downsize into such a unit and not have to move away from family and friends. Many seniors have been doing just that. The proposed 18-unit development at74 Young St. has a number of drawbacks, however, which makes this location unsuitable. We live on North Drive next to a proposed condo development between Young St and North Dr. There is a small field behind us and the developer is planning to put in 14 apartment units (three storeys high) and 4 town houses. They are going to be squeezed into this space and the developer says that the only place to put the three-storey building is directly behind and close to small bungalows on North Dr. These bungalows were built in the ‘60s and the lots were laid out so that they were much wider than deep. Our backyards are already very small because of that and hence we will be looking up instead of out. If this development goes ahead we will not see the sun until almost noon. The developer will be making great money, but the value of our houses will now be seriously affected. Why would a 14-unit apartment building be located in a small area surrounded by single-family homes? Access to the development will be a lane between the former OPP office and the old house north of it, which will be retained as part of the development. Many municipalities have brought in regulations that limit buildings to two stories unless their fire department has a ladder that will reach higher. Brighton does not have such a by-law and I understand that the fire department does not have such a ladder. There are better locations for a condo such as the empty lot at Prince Edward St. and Elizabeth St in the main part of town. This would also eliminate the eyesore at the main intersection. This property is located next to Proctor Park and there is a definite water problem as past owners have learned. This is the reason this area has never been developed. There is a lot of surface and underground streams running through the property. The rapid growth of a large willow tree in the middle of the property, is an indication of the large amount of water. The water coming from Proctor Park, north of our street and down onto Cheer St. has caused a lot of water problems which go down the entire street. Who knows what will happen when this new development comes. Any change often redi-

rects the water. A week after the big rains, the ground in the field proposed for development was so wet and soggy that it was difficult to cut the grass. The climate is changing and we will likely get more and more storms and longer stretches of rain Developers are crowding houses into every space they can find. It spoils the appearance of our lovely old homes around town. The

small lots that are being allowed, are too small for a large tree. We are losing our trees and this time not to a tornado. Brighton has always been noted for its beautiful trees. With the many underground streams in town, Brighton really needs its trees. We need special regulations in Brighton (for drainage and lot size) because of these underground streams. There will be a town meeting

on June 12 at 6:30 p.m. in council chambers. The developer (Mark Walas) will be applying for a change of zoning from low density residential to medium density, a requirement for his development. If this goes change is approved, it could lead to similar requests in your area. Owen & Mary Gibb Brighton

Can jellyfish run for office in Toronto? Dear Editor, Just recently, Toronto City Council voted down a motion to withhold municipal funding for the Pride Parade. The original motion was due to the fact that uniformed police officers are no longer allowed to march in the parade, even the openly gay ones. In case you aren’t in the loop, the Pride Parade has recently been held hostage by the lunatic fringe in the incarnation of “Black Lives Matter” who believe that uniformed police officers are a threat to their safety. The Pride Committee has begrudgingly allowed police officers to march in the parade so long as they are not in uniform and of course not armed. They don’t, however, seem to have a problem with the Blue Boys providing security at the event in case someone even crazier decides to “get up to the dickens” with the these revellers. Even New York, which is a very progressive city, has invited the Toronto Cops to march in their parade in full regalia. It sure makes the administration of Toronto look like a bunch of cowards. It is also a disgrace that the Police Chief caved to these demands. Mayor Tory used to be a common sense Conservative, now he is a spineless jellyfish in my opinion. Maybe the Green Party’s Elizabeth May could use an assistant. Doug Gower Codrington

Expert on chronic fatigue syndrome to speak at Colborne Legion BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Colborne — An expert on chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia will give a presentation at Legion Branch 187 on June 9. Dr. Byron Hyde founded Nightingale Research Foundation in 1985 to investigate the causes and treatment of myalgic encephalo-

myelitis and later chronic fatigue syndrome. The Ottawa-based registered charitable organization also studies related illnesses such as fibromyalgia. Its work has led to the enhancement of diagnostic protocols. Hyde's curriculum vitae says his work as a physician “is essentially forensic, investigating complex chronically disabled relative-

ly young patients (15 to 50 years old).” Their diagnoses are often missed by other physicians, who operate with severely limited time allowances.” He was invited to speak in Colborne by a local resident, Orletta Kernaghan, who has had fibromyalgia for about 30 years. “He's very informative,” said her friend Lenna Broatch. “It's

something that a lot of people don't know about,” and who those who suffer from one of the syndromes are told “it isn't an ache or a pain they have, it's just their imagination.” Hyde's presentation will begin at 7 p.m. Donations only, with all proceeds to go to the Nightingale Research Foundation.

Council continues to re-evaluate policy for community grants BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — Council is continuing to take a closer look at requests for grants in the future. However, despite a recent staff report and new proposed policy, council has yet to make a final decision as to how best to move forward. Director of finance and administrative services Linda Widdifield recently presented council with both a grants-in-aid community grant program report, and the new proposed policy, based on council’s direction. Council had previously asked

staff to revisit the policy, as some councillors had voiced concerns over the amount the municipality was spending through requests for grants-in-aid, following this year’s budget process. Council has chosen not to approve the revamped policy at this time, though, saying more time is needed for more input from councillors. “We looked at what we had and ways we could update it — the intent of the new policy is not to exclude any groups that now currently are requesting grants, but more to add to some parameters

for council’s decision-making,” said Widdifield. Coun. Brian Ostrander previously led the charge for changes to the policy following the budget, insisting charities should be coming to the municipality “as a last resort.” Ostrander was first to suggest staff and council should re-evaluate the way the municipality receives and looks at requests from organizations applying for assistance. In a previous interview, the councillor explained about $174,000 in requests for grants were received for 2017. Widdifield reports the municipality granted about $121,530 or about 1.7 per cent of the 2016 tax levy in grants for this year. (This dollar figure excludes the contractual amount to the YMCA). In Ostrander’s initial proposal, the councillor outlined he wanted organizations to provide detailed accounts of how grants would provide assistance to core municipal services — he wanted organizations to demonstrate the return on the municipality’s investment for the community. With the sum of grant requests representing a taxation level to homeowners of almost two per cent, Ostrander insisted the municipality’s supposed to be funding core municipal services first. Though not all of council had agreed with all of Ostrander’s suggestions and others who said asking essentially for a return on investment was responsible, his motion for staff to revisit the grants policy passed. Some councillors previously stated concerns over “too restrictive” of wording and worries over making volunteers work even harder. For some groups and charities, quantifying a return on investment in certain instances

might be difficult, some councillors said, despite the fact that such groups bring “great value to the community.” Groups that take care of cemeteries were used as an example. Widdifield reportedly researched policies of neighbouring municipalities during her review of Brighton’s current practices. “Many of the municipalities in Northumberland County did not have an adopted policy for the distribution of municipal grants,” she said. “ … Brighton was much more structured than many municipalities in our approach to granting to community groups.” During staff ’s review, however, it was determined that more structure could still be imposed by council to assist in determining if an application met desired criteria, Widdifield said in her report to council. Following council’s previous direction, some of staff ’s proposed changes and suggestions to the grants policy are listed below. A monetary threshold reportedly could be used to determine the maximum dollar amount for the total grant threshold in any given year. The amount used in the draft policy is 1.5 per cent of the previous year’s tax levy, however this would remain at council’s discretion. (Any amount committed through service contracts wouldn’t be considered as part of the grant program). Staff also proposed specific criteria for three different grant types (community project grants, community investment grants and nonprofit major grants), as well as the establishment of a community grant committee. It was suggested the committee include the deputy mayor and two other members of council. This suggestion was made con-

sidering council’s recent decision to add the deputy mayor on the ballot for the coming election and therefore could be one of the deputy mayor’s assigned duties. The idea is, the committee could review applications in more detail and then recommend applications to council for approval. There would be no appeal process. Staff recommended grant requests totalling more than $5,000 would require a separate written request and presentation to council. Staff ’s report went into further detail examining and breaking down funding streams and categories (arts, culture, environment, heritage, recreation etc.). Staff also outlined potential eligibility criteria for council’s review; including what/who may not be eligible for community grants. The full report is available via council’s May 15 agenda. Applicants for any of the funding programs should demonstrate: • Objectives of the municipality, as outlined in the municipality’s strategic plan, economic development and cultural plans. • Community need for the proposed activity or service and community benefit/impact. • Community support — funding support or sponsorship from other organizations, businesses, industries and service clubs. • Financial need and sound financial management and revenue generation. • Accountability/mechanism for evaluation — identification of key performance measures and outcomes. • Feasibility — an organization’s ability to complete the proposed activity/service. • Evidence of community collaboration and partnerships. • Impact of previous year’s funding support.

Barn hunting and preserving Brighton’s agricultural heritage BY SARAH HYATT

Codrington — Not long ago, the iconic timber frame barn was the signature of a rich and vibrant farming community. “Some of these iconic barns, they’re disappearing quickly or have already disappeared,” said D.W. ‘Fletch’ Fletcher, co-chair for the Brighton Barn Project. For many years, such barns were plentiful in the area — but now, the

landscape of farming is changing, insists Fletcher. Fletcher is one of many who are passionate to document changes and showcase the evolution of farming and barns within the community. He also wants to ensure that in 50-100 years, residents of the future will have an idea of what farming life used to look like. “They may be disappearing, but they won’t be forgotten — this really is

about preserving our local history,” said Fletcher. In a nutshell, the project aims to tell the stories of farms and barns built as far back as the 1840s and the stories of a way of life, once handed down from generation to generation. The barn project is the Brighton Digital Archives group’s latest initiative, where volunteers plan to photograph minimum 150 barns throughout the municipality — ironically in Canada’s

150th birthday celebration year (totally coincidental). The Brighton area has long been known for its strong agricultural roots and rural architecture and as a strong farming community, but a lot has changed even over the last few decades, said Fletcher. The Fletchers have lived on Goodfellow Road for more than 20 years. Along Goodfellow Road, there are about four families currently that make a living by farming. Meanwhile, 100 years ago, there were probably at least 25 to 30 farms, each with a barn, a

house and a family, said Fletcher. The co-chair estimates there are probably 10 barns lost for every barn left standing. Fletcher’s reportedly had a longstanding romance with barns, dating back to his teenage years where during a summer he worked on his uncle’s farm. But it wasn’t until one day last year on his way home, when he drove past an old burnt down barn he started to think more deeply about the value of these integral pieces to the farming community and farming culture, and how the heritage and history of the community and these buildings could be preserved beyond one’s lifespan now. “A lot of the old barns that are left standing, they’re not being used,” said Fletcher. “Some are too old and too hard to maintain and it’s only a matter of time. Many others have been torn down, replaced by plastic and steel barns or some lost in windstorms.” Volunteers will travel from one end of the municipality to the other to photograph what they hope will be every barn left standing. Afterwards the digital archives group will investigate the history and heritage behind the structures and land and tie those stories back to local farming families. “Each of these barns we photograph will tell some type of story,” said Fletcher. “This really is in many ways a project showcasing the evolution of not only barns, but farming, and how farmers have had to adapt and change … this is much more than just photos.” Treasured images and stories will then be shared in digital formats and will live on for years to come. The idea is, all barns regardless of their age or construction material will be photographed, providing they're constructed in a traditional style. It’s expected with that said, most of the barns will be old. Farming families are reportedly warmly welcoming the new initiative. Currently only the exteriors of the barns are slated to be photographed at this time. A dedicated group of 10 volunteer photographers — many from the Brighton Camera Club, will begin in early June photographing the barns. The group already managed to photograph one barn more recently, luckily just before it was dismantled and came down. Initially Fletcher started tracking

down barns via Google Earth. He literally cruised every road in the municipality digitally. He identified some 80 barns this way, before driving the roads in search of more barns and to confirm addresses. The late auctioneer Jim Nelson also helped the group add another 10 barns to the list, before his passing. The Brighton Digital Archives group consists of four volunteers: Fletcher, Dorothy Fletcher, Catherine Stutt and Ralph de Jonge. The barn project is also being co-chaired by local farmer David Down, who’s been a tremendous resource, providing an abundance of historical information and who’s also helped the group to find hidden gems over hills, including the one barn built in 1841, said Fletcher. The photography will be the first phase of the project; the second phase will be research on the barns and farms. Publishing by the group is anticipated to begin in the fall. (Website: http://vitalcollections.ca/brightonarchives.) Letters to barn owners who’ve been identified were sent out Tuesday, May 23, requesting permission for photos. If someone owns a barn and doesn’t receive a letter, but wants their barn photographed, contact 613-475-4427. Once photography and research is completed, the group hopes to also spend some time learning about barns that are no long standing. “We’re also really interested to find some people who have pictures of old barns and farms and have some historical stories to go with those pictures,” said de Jonge. The Municipality of Brighton, through the heritage advisory committee, is supporting the project. “We’d be happy if we could have everything completed by the end of spring next year,” said Fletcher. “It’s going to be a lot of work — some of the farms identified may have multiple barns and depending on how many photographs are taken, you never know we could end up with 250 photographs.” Farmers will get a digital copy photo of their barn. (There’s no cost for farmers at all associated with the project.) The group could use more volunteer photographers. To volunteer, share your barn, photos or stories contact Fletcher at 613-4754427 or email HiltonHall@xplornet.ca.

Brighton Masons mark 300th anniversary with open house BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton – United Lodge No. 29 GRC will hold an open house June 3 in celebration of the 300th anniversary of the foundation of modern Freemasonry. “The questions of how, when and where Freemasonry originated are still the subject of intense speculation,” says lodge member Iain Henderson, but the “consensus among Masonic scholars is that it descended directly or indirectly from the organization of operative stonemasons who built the great castles and cathedrals of Britain and Europe in the Middle Ages.” The first Grand Lodge was formed by four lodges in London in 1717 to govern over them; it later become known as the United Grand Lodge of England. Other lodges beyond its borders followed suit, including the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted

Masons of Canada in the Province of Ontario 162 years ago. It oversees about 500 lodges with approximately 50,000 members. The local branch of the fraternal organization is older, having received its first charter from the United Grand Lodge of England in 1822, before being chartered under the Grand Lodge of Canada in 1855. It was started in Carrying Place and later moved to Brighton, Henderson said. The lodge is experiencing the same challenge of sustaining itself that other organizations such as service clubs do “because our way of life and our commitment to certain things has changed,” he said. Membership has dropped by almost half to 48 in the past 10 years or so, but “we may have turned a corner” with the admission of three new members by the end of the year.

To join a lodge “you have to have a belief in a Supreme Being,” and it doesn’t matter what your religion is, Henderson said. “Basically what we try to do is ... make good men better.” There has been “a lot of very famous and high-ranking people, in business, industry and royalty and everything else over the years who have been part of the Masonic fraternity,” he said. “I’m quite surprised when I look at the list of who they are.” The long list includes Mozart, Wagner, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John A. MacDonald, Theodore Roosevelt, Jonathan Swift, Count Basie, and Red Skelton, Freemasons and their concordant bodies, such as the Shriners

They qualified by placing in the top four at the East Regional championship held at Ottawa May 25-26. Sam Hall won gold in the senior high jump, with the help of one of his competitors. Hall’s spikes had gone missing just before the competition started but he managed to achieve a jump of 1.95 m after Joel Marshall, from Gananoque Secondary School, shared his spikes with him. Hall was second in the 100 m (11.34 seconds) and was a member of the 4 X 400 m relay team (with Reece Herrington, Andrew and Jacob Gilbert) that finished third. Jake Hollinger was the East Regional champion in the junior 3000 m (9:27) and came in second in the 1500 m event with a personal best time of 4:17. Senior Andrew Brown won the 1500 m race (4:03) and recorded a personal best time of 1:56 finishing fifth in the 800 m.

Saucy septuagenarian spices things up BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Codrington — Maybe it's in the sauce — the secret for overcoming five heart attacks and then cancer, while showing few signs of slowing down at age 77. Dotty Worobetz won't make those claims but she'll gladly sing the praises of her Saucy Dotty's Original Gourmet Sauce. “It was my aunt's recipe from years ago and she actually left it to me in a will,” Worobetz said Sunday, while making her first appearance as a vendor at the artisans market that the Codrington Farmers' Market will again host once a month this year. Worobetz said it wasn't until she went on a tour of the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre (OAFVC) in Colborne that she became aware of the sauce's commercial possibilities. She used her savings to get the business off the ground, pinning her hopes on a recipe her Aunt Agnes Finlay in Welland had developed. It wasn't a gamble, though. “We knew people liked it,” she said. “We've always had it and my kids grew up with it, and we shared it with friends, but not the recipe,” Worobetz said. "People always wanted it and asked for the recipe ... It's unique, nobody else has this taste.” “Nobody's going to be able to copy it.” The first batch was produced last July at the OAFVC — 35 cases of 500-millilitre bottles. Several more batches have been produced since then. She's deeply appreciative of the assistance she has received from staff at the agri-food venture centre. They have “helped me enormously,” she said. “They were the ones that said this could happen, we really like the sauce, so let's see what people think. And that was it.” Their combined efforts began paying off this year. “It's just taken off in the last four months,” Worobetz said.Eleven stores now sell her sauce, in Campbellford, Brighton, Warkworth, Cobourg, Belleville and elsewhere, and a half-dozen restaurants and bars have said they will buy it once it becomes available in four-litre bottles. “We're doing fantastic, people love it, and we're happy.” The family business includes her son Michael and

his wife Lisa, and her daughter Debbie. Worobetz hasn't lost her indomitable spirit despite having a quadruple bypass following a massive heart attack, and surviving a bout with colon cancer. “You can't kill me,” she said. “I'm a very positive thinker, there's nothing I can't do.” Other vendors with booths at the artisans market included No Pencil Skirts with earrings and one-ofa-kind clothing, Erika Prentovich and her paintings, Marjut Hirvonen (jewelry), Stranded Women (beads), Stevens Pottery, Middle Sister Studios (sewn items and stuffed animals), Christine Bowman (paper crafts, Canada Maple Leaf Cards, Bill McKee (wooden nativity sets and bird houses), Jeannie Turner (primitive art) and Middle Sister Studios.

More women asked to make the difference for local charities BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — The 100 Women Who Care Brighton chapter continues to call on local women to help make a difference in their community. “We are a group of women who meet four times a year, each making a small donation to be presented collectively to a local charity,” explains Priscilla Courtenay, a founding member of the Brighton chapter. Courtenay is inviting all members and welcoming new members to the group’s next meeting on June 6. This will mark the chapter’s second meeting since the initiative started this year. The meeting will be held at 6:15 p.m., at the Evangel Pentecostal Church (30 Butler St. E.). “At each meeting, we choose three charities,” said Courtenay. “At the following meeting, after a brief presentation by a member representing each charity, we vote and choose one of those charities to be the recipient of the donations.” About three months later, at the next meeting,

a member of the charitable organization, which received the donation, gives a presentation as to how the money was used. “That’s always an exciting time,” said Courtenay. The three charities women will be voting on at the June 6 meeting are the Prospect Missionary Community Church in Colborne, Community Care Brighton and the YMCA Early Years Program. “We are looking forward to voting,” said Courtenay. Courtenay reminds residents, as the time draws near and if you know you are unable to attend the meeting, you may still vote. Contact Rachel Young if so and “she will take care of it for you,” said Courtenay. Rachel can be contacted via email at: admin@100womenbrighton.com or by phone at 613-661-5980. More information is also available online via 100womenbrighton.com. Courtenay reminds folks that at the end of each year, members receive a tax receipt.

Lake levels stable for now, work continues to protect residents affected by flooding BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — Sandbag barriers are reportedly protecting about 35 to 40 homes throughout the Brighton area now. “Over the past couple weeks, we continue to experience unprecedented water levels, and these water levels, combined with the wind and wave action continue to make the sandbag barrier maintenance challenging,” said Mayor Mark Walas, on the morning of Wednesday, May 24. Local volunteers, staff and volunteer firefighters worked tirelessly over the weekend to reinforce barriers to ensure they held firm and in an effort to help residents protect their homes and properties. Due to the onshore winds and the waves, municipal staff says more barriers had to be constructed on the weekend to provide additional protection. “Throughout the recent flood relief efforts, the municipality extends its appreciation to our staff, the many volunteers, our neighbouring municipalities and to the individual members of council for their continued great work in supporting our residents,” said Walas. In the municipality’s Tuesday, May 23 flood watch update, staff said lake levels are reportedly stable, and predict that levels will remain stable and high for about up to one month. In the coming weeks, municipal staff said they will be working on a plan for the long-term clean up as flood levels subside. Walas said staff is expected to bring a report to council concerning cleanup in early June. Staff will also reportedly continue to work with

volunteer groups to ensure pumps are operated as necessary, to remove water from behind the barriers and to ensure there are filled sandbags in reserve, should the need arise for more. Sand and sandbags will remain available at 67 Sharp Road, in Gosport, on Ontario Street, at Greenway Circle and Shoal Point. “At this time, staff doesn’t feel there is a need for more filling of sandbags,” the release stated. “Council and municipal staff thank all of the many volunteers who have come out to help fill and move sandbags over the past week [and thank those] who have been instrumental in protecting resident’s homes.” Brighton’s Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson and volunteer groups will reportedly both be working to develop a roster of volunteers to man pumps and monitor the barriers in coming weeks. “Staff will also keep contact information of all those individuals and groups who have called to volunteer should the need for extra efforts be required in the next few weeks.” Anyone wishing to register to volunteer is asked to call the fire department on 613-475-1744, during business hours. Residents who need staff to assess a flooding situation in their homes are also asked to call the department during business hours or to call 613-967-8707 after hours. Boat launches in Brighton will remain closed until further notice and municipal staff is continuing to encourage residents to not visit the flooded areas, either by car or by boat as it is disruptive to residents and volunteers working on the flood barriers.

Hastings — Lennox and Addington — 10 new projects in Hastings — Lennox and Addington have been approved under the federal government’s Clean Water and Waste Water Fund. The announcement was made in a press release May 24, by Mike Bossio, MP for Hastings — Lennox and Addington in Napanee. The government is providing up to 50 per cent of funding for these projects ($796,849): $67,158 in Marmora and Lake; $447,983 in Napanee; $131,708 in Bancroft. The provincial government is providing $398,426, and the municipalities will provide the balance of funding. “Ensuring that rural communities have the tools they need to thrive is one of my top priorities, so I am very happy that the federal government is making such historic investments in Napanee, Bancroft, and across our riding,” said MP Mike Bossio.

“The $796,426 of federal funding that I announced today for 10 water and wastewater infrastructure projects are essential for building long term, sustainable rural communities right here in Hastings — Lennox and Addington.” Marmora and Lake, Stone Mills, StirlingRawdon, and Tweed will see stormwater and wastewater upgrades, as well as feasibility studies for other water systems. In Bancroft, wastewater collection systems will be rehabilitated, and a feasibility study will be conducted for wastewater systems. Residents of Napanee will see upgrades to their Wastewater Pollution Control Plant. “These projects are essential to keeping our waterways clean and our communities healthy and livable.” Deputy Mayor of Marmora and Lake Linda Bracken, said, “The project will rehabilitate two existing older sanitary and sewer collec-

tion assets. The fund provides an opportunity to advance some of our infrastructure requirements, since one has not been updated since 1974. Thank you for the contributions of the federal and provincial governments. Without our partnerships, we would go nowhere. We need to work together.” Deputy Mayor of the Town of Bancroft Paul Jenkins said, “The Town of Bancroft would like to express our gratitude to the federal government and our MP Mike Bossio for the announced CWWF funding. Repairs to our wastewater infrastructure is in critical need. This financial support will allow the town to take the first step in addressing our major infiltration issue in order to make the system more efficient and affordable for our citizens.” To view videostream of the announcement go to: https://www. f a c e b o o k . c o m / m i ke. b o s s i o. l i b e ra l / v i d eos/1061026364030399/

It was a short but eclectic agenda for Hastings County Council, partly to accommodate a two-day session of hosting a meeting of the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus, of which Hastings has been one of its most active members. At Thursday morning’s meeting, CAO Jim Pine commented the caucus meeting was “today and tomorrow.” Council also viewed a video promotion of a new Canadian musical by the now widely known Tweed Theatre company to make its world premiere at the Tweed Pavilion as a sesquicentennial project June 28 through July 7. Artistic director of the company, Tim Porter, a Tweed native, introduced the actors in the video who each contributed their own comments, and said the show, “Hastings, the Musical,” summarizes many of the legends of people and events over the county’s history, set to toe-tapping music and with a generous splash of irreverence and comedy. The video also reviewed the outstanding success of the small townbased company with shows in Toronto and across Canada, starting with their first big musical, “Tweed – the Musical” back in 2009,followed by one called “Alex Bell,” about the iconic inventor of the telephone.

Tweed seems to be the hub for summer events this year as Mayor Jo-Anne Albert also promoted the “Farm to Table” community dinner there on Saturday, July 22 at 4 p.m. featuring many professionally prepared dishes of local produce, tickets just $5, children under five, free. The outdoor meal will be served on Tweed’s Metcalf Street, which will be closed to traffic to accommodate the event. Reviewed again from a recent meeting of the Community and Human Services Committee was a video outlining the problems of homelessness and promoting full support for a new provincial program called “Home for Good” targeted to address supportive housing to resolve homelessness among chronic cases, youth, indigenous and those released from provincially –funded institutions. “Your committee believes this program is timely and has authorized staff to submit a proposal in partnership with the SE LHIN and other support agencies,” was the recommendation included in the report, which was adopted. CAO Pine also commended newspaper reporter Luke Hendry for his commitment on publicizing the homelessness issue and also thanked all media members for their support of county activities.

CHEO is the go-to place for sick kids in Eastern Ontario BY TIFFANY LEPACK Metroland Media

John Lepack loves superheroes. It doesn’t matter if it is SpiderMan or Batman, his imagination runs wild with their adventures. The thing my son doesn’t know, is he is already a superhero in my eyes. Shortly after John was born June 11, 2013, staff at Almonte General Hospital noticed something not right. They were able to quickly recognize he needed to be rushed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive officer of the CHEO Foundation, calls this a very typical story of CHEO working with rural hospitals outside of Ottawa, who he calls very important partners in care. “We have some tremendous community hospitals throughout the area that CHEO also serves. For the vast majority of families the first place that you go when your child needs care is to your community hospital. And we strongly encourage supporting the hospitals in your own areas,” said Keohane. “But at the same time, CHEO plays an important role with those community hospi-

tals. When I think about CHEO it is a regional hospital.” As a new mom from Arnprior, who just experienced a 24-hour labour in Almonte, it was a difficult moment to be told John needed the care from CHEO. But we were not alone. CHEO truly is a regional hospital, and in 2016 there were, for instance, 351 total visits to CHEO from patients from the Belleville area, 168 of those emergency care visits. “I think the important thing is there are other types of health care needs that kids from Belleville had and could be well

served at within their own community,” said Keohane. “But when they have the most serious cases and ones requiring paediatric speciality they would come to CHEO and that’s a good balance. “You want kids to be served closer to home as often as possible and when they have to travel to CHEO we want them to feel as at home as we can possibly make them and make their stay here as good as possible and get them back home and in their own communities as quickly as possible.” CHEO not only serves patients from Eastern Ontario; but their catchment stretches all the way to Northern Ontario and Nunavut. Last year 52 per cent of patient visits to CHEO came from Ottawa and 33 per cent from other towns and cities in Eastern Ontario and Northern Ontario totalling 107,000 patient visits. “That means there is an awful lot of children and families living outside the Ottawa area who are needing the services of CHEO, and it is a privilege for CHEO to be able to provide these services,” said Keohane. John was transferred from Almonte to CHEO via a neonatal transport unit. When the CHEO team arrived to take John they explained ev-

erything about the unit and how they were going to transfer him. Although at the time I was scared that my newborn was leaving my side, I was reassured that he was safe. Over 500 times last year the neonatal transport unit went to communities outside of Ottawa to bring babies to CHEO. When John arrived at CHEO he was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. He was showing signs of meningitis and had to have a spinal tap to test the fluid. To say my husband and I were scared is an understatement. However, from the moment we walked in to CHEO until the moment we left, I knew he was in the best possible hands. The team who worked on him always explained how they were examining him and what the next steps were. Thankfully, after a week at CHEO, he was discharged, having battled back from an infection. The equipment used to transfer, test and care for John while he was at CHEO was made possible due to community support. The provincial government provides money to CHEO for the staff to operate the equipment,

but not the machines. One of the biggest boosts to CHEO is its annual telethon, which is set this year for June 10 and 11 on CTV Ottawa. In 2016, the telethon celebrated more than $8 million raised throughout the year. “Every donation big and small goes toward helping CHEO deliver on its mission. And that really is to make sure kids and families get the best care they can receive,” said Keohane. As for John and the rest of the children who receive care at CHEO, Keohane agrees they are superheroes. There are more superheroes to add to the list as well. “The kids are definitely heroes, but the donors are heroes too,” said Keohane. “We could run a telethon and we can tell everyone the work CHEO is doing, and it all doesn’t matter unless people respond. So when you respond you are being a hero for kids, a hero for CHEO, and you are helping us to provide the care at a different level than we wouldn’t be able to without your help.” For more information on CHEO and the telethon visit: www.cheotelethon.com

The Good Earth How about showing your horticulturalists respect?

By Dan Clost There comes a time at the start of every gardening season when we all run smack dab into the wall. There’s no doubt that we (horticultural workers) are as excited as you (horticultural, um, doers) about the new season. So it seems odd that, just as the time of doing arrives, we’re feeling done in. I can tell you that

myself and many of my coworkers- especially those of us with knees that can predict rain two days ahead of time- are more than a titch tired. This year it seems to be more onerous as the constant rain has slowed everyone down. It’s been tough getting hothouse plants to grow especially with all the cloud cover blocking the sunlight. It’s been tough getting the beds prepared because they’re either too soupy or they are a consistency akin to gumbo. It’s been difficult on home gardeners for many of the same reasons, too. You’re a bit behind in everything including mowing the lawns. (“Wet blades” are a myth, GR.) Unfortunately, some mowing just has to happen and that’s when you hear an engine turning at higher rpm’s but see the mower plodding along at a slower ground speed. The culmination of all of this is that there are some

tired and stressed out folks cluttering up both sides of the counters at the nurseries and tempers are fraying. One might wish to look upon these counter encounters as opportunities for grace but not all of us (and especially not this one) have saintly temperaments. I certainly understand the frustrations; in fact, I share them. I’d love to bring home a load of soil for top-dressing and topping up beds. This past week (at the time of writing) the topsoil was so waterlogged that four cubic yards was almost enough to surpass the Ministry of Transport weight limits on our 1-ton delivery truck. The ground at the delivery sites, your homes, is so saturated that tires easily break through the turf. Either the truck gets stuck or there are great ruts left behind when the vehicle pulls away. I know of three delivery trucks and one tractor that bogged down on Wednesday

and Thursday alone. In fact, on that Thursday, one of the area’s largest bulk product supply yards closed due to the rain. We’re fortunate that we sell other things, e.g. plants, and we have a roof over them, so we were able to stay open. Hopefully we sold enough petunias to cover the hydro bill. Now, Gentle Reader, we get to the core of this column. It was prompted by an unpleasant telephone conversation, actually a loud diatribe, directed at the young person who answered the phone. This telephone conversation was ostensibly about soil

and the requirement that a deferred delivery be made immediately. We did deliver it as requested because, after the appropriate caveats have been expressed, it is the customers’ ultimate decision that is respected. Within ten minutes of the call, our truck was loaded and on the road. I used the word “ostensibly” because of the tone used by the callers (a two-phone, two-person tag-team effort.) It is fine to be adamant and upset when things go awry. It is not fine to cross over the line of decent manners and disrespect a person, especially to one who is pow-

erless to respond. Would the conversation have taken a different tone if a manager had picked up the receiver? I suspect so. There are very few things over which we have control and our interactions with others is one of those things. Respect is more than an expectation, it is a requirement. So for all of us who have run into that wall, let’s pause a moment, recover our equilibrium and express ourselves with grace.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

In praise of the fix it shops New York is leading a fight to pass “Right to Repair” legislation, called the Fair Repair Act. As the world moved to the don’t fix it, replace it, the global dumps filled up ever more quickly. Arrayed against those who would repair stuff are companies such as Apple, Toyota, Verizon, Caterpillar and The Consumer Technology Association, which in today’s doublespeak represents the manufacturers. The new rules would require companies to sell replacement parts and ban “software locks” which restrict after market parts, apparently John Deer is well know

for this technique. Coming from an era of a cobbler shops and TV repair shops I still regard those still existing as rebels against the system. Since most stuff today has too much software for many people, its not just cell phones which are affected. A recent study by a defense annalist claimed that even the F35 fighter jet could be hacked rendering the pilot helpless. The Same goes for most of the auto industry with demonstrations of vehicles being taken over by hackers, while we can upgrade defenses on a home computer/laptop, I have never heard of cars

having software defense patches installed. Upgrades to the latest operating system are often met with dubious results, the UK nuclear submarines are still using Windows XP possibly with upgrades the general public is not aware of, and maybe not. One sub fired a Trident missile off the coast of the USA recently (presumably without its warhead) and instead of heading into the Atlantic it went west toward the mainland and had to be destroyed. Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn’t. Paul Whittaker RR#1 Gilmour.

Montreal throws itself a spectacular 375th birthday party BY JOHN M. SMITH

A view of Bonsecours Market. John M. Smith/Metroland

with its intricately designed interior and its magnificent stainedglass windows that depict parish history. I’d also visit the Montreal Museum of Archaeology and History (where you’ll find self-guiding, interactive tours), the Clock Tower (a memorial to the men of the Merchant Fleet who were lost during WWI) and the Bonsecours Market (which was the city’s main agricultural marketplace for over a century and now houses several boutiques). Other points of interest include the Biosphere (housed in the geodesic dome that was the American pavilion during Expo ‘67), the Casino de Montreal (housed in the former Quebec and French pavilions of Expo ‘67), Habitat ’67 (an experimental housing development built out of

prefabricated concrete slabs), the History Centre (housed in a 19th century fire station), and St. Joseph’s Oratory (one of the world’s largest basilicas). The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (the oldest art museum in Canada), the Biodome (a museum of the environment), La Ronde (the province’s largest amusement park and site of the International Fireworks Competition), and the Bell Centre (home to hockey’s Montreal

Canadiens) are also of interest. Furthermore, I’d recommend checking out Mount Royal Park (with its spectacular view of the city and its large cross at the summit) and Olympic Stadium (where an elevator will take you to the top of the world’s tallest inclined tower for another breathtaking view of the city). You might also like to spend some time in Montreal’s beautiful BotaniFor More Information: www. cal Garden, where you’ll see the tourisme-montreal.org

A visit to our eastern neighbour, Montreal, is definitely worthwhile. After all, I’ve always found it to be a unique, fun-loving, charming, and vibrant city. Its party atmosphere is enhanced by the many festivals hosted annually, including the Montreal Festival of Lights (Feb.), Go Bike Montreal Festival (June), Beer Festival (June), International Jazz Festival (June & July), Just for Laughs Festival (July), International Fireworks Festival (July & Aug.), and Old Montreal’s Extravaganza Festival (Dec.). Of all these, my favourites is, of course, the Go Bike Montreal Festival – and it will take place this very weekend. Certain roads will be closed to motor vehicle traffic so that cyclists can enjoy a relatively stressfree ride through the city. Cyclists can choose from a 28 km route or a 50 km route. Many participants will dress up in colourful costumes for the event – and there will be riders of varying ages and abilities. I can remember going up in a boom truck to photograph the participants awaiting the start of the ride a few years ago - and I marvelled at the spectacular sight of about 10,000 cyclists all lined up and ready to go! I’m so old that I can even remember visiting Montreal for “Expo ‘67”, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of that event. However, the city is also celebrating a much older event than that, too, for it’s the 375th anniversary of its actual founding (but I wasn’t there for that). A mission named Ville Marie was built back in 1642, 375 years ago, and it became a centre for the fur trade. This area eventually became Montreal (which was incorporated as a city in 1832). Therefore, this would be an especially good year for a visit to Montreal, for there will be several special celebratory events. For example, a spectacular 30 minute light show took place on the Jacques Cartier Bridge back on May 17 – and from May 17 to Sept. 2, there will also be a unique multimedia show on the west sector of the Old Port of Montreal, with projections that pay tribute to the St. Lawrence River and the city’s history. If you do plan a visit in the near future, be sure to include a stop in Old Montreal, with its cobblestone streets, historical landmarks, museums, and boutiques. I’d recommend checking out Notre Dame Basilica, Montreal’s oldest Roman Catholic Church,

Montreal Insectarium (with its magnificent collection of butterflies and insects) and colourful displays of the many species and varieties of plants in its more than 30 gardens. Any visit to this city of trendy fashions and gastronomical delights must also include time for both shopping and sampling of the delectable local cuisine – and Montreal’s remarkable underground pedestrian network, “the city below the city”, offers about 30 km. of well lit walkways linking several shopping centres, restaurants, boutiques, theatres, and hotels - and convenient access to the subway system. If you prefer not to drive around and search for parking spots, the STM Tourist Pass is the fastest and easiest way to get around, for it offers unlimited travel by metro (the subway system) and bus (web site: www.stm. info). Several companies also offer guided bus tours of the city, including a hop-on and hop-off bus tour. There are specialty excursions available, including an architecture tour and a ghost walking tour. Boat trips of the harbour area are also plentiful. If you intend to check out some of Montreal’s fascinating, informative museums while in the city, then save money by purchasing a Montreal Museum Pass (a 3-day pass, including public transit, is $80.00).

County to distribute federal gas tax BY JACK EVANS

With more than $1,212,000 revenue for its share of federal gas tax, Hastings County will keep only $57,748, apportioning the rest among the 14 member municipalities based on population. The breakdown in the bylaw passed by county council last week is as follows: Tyendinaga, population 4,150, $126,173; Deseronto, 1,835, $55,790; Stirling-Rawdon, 4,978, $151,347; Centre Hastings, 4,543, $138,121; Tweed,6,057, $184,152; Madoc Town-

ship, 2,197, $66,796; Marmora and Lake, 4,074 $123,862; Tudor and Cashel, 586, $17,816; Limerick, 352, $10,702; Wollaston, 708, $21.525; Faraday,1,468, $44,632; Bancroft, 3,880, $117,964; Carlow/Mayo, 892, $27,120; Hastings Highlands, 4,168, $126,720. The amounts listed do not reflect the county’s equal portion of its retained amount reduced from each municipality so the actual payments fall a few thousand dollars short. Council also passed bylaws to establish tax ratios for the current year and actual levy apportionments.

Tick talk from local health professionals BY SUE DICKENS

Northumberland/Peterborough counties — An established population of blacklegged ticks in the Brighton area and Havelock is having an impact on how the local health professionals are dealing with the danger they pose. The talk among health professionals these days is about the dangerous Lyme disease bacteria which ticks can carry. Media releases are coming from all directions, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District (HKPR) Health Unit, the Peterborough CountyCity Health department, and Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, medical officer of health for Peterborough Public Health to name a few. May is designated as Lyme disease awareness month and so the press releases are coming fast and curious to warn and educate people. As mentioned the ticks have shown up are in Havelock and Brighton and those are only the reported findings. The Peterborough County-City Health is asking local residents to be aware of Lyme disease and how to prevent it. While not all blacklegged ticks carry Lyme disease, populations of infected blacklegged ticks are spreading due to climate change. “Locally we are closely monitoring for evidence of infected ticks in our area, so we encourage residents to check for ticks on their bodies and bring them to the third floor of the Health Unit for identification,” explained Atul Jain, manager of environmental health programs. Dr. Salvaterra of Peterborough Public Health stated that about 400 Ontarians contracted the disease in 2015, with indications that these numbers will only grow as the tick that carries the infection continues to make more parts of the province its home. Ontario has many high-risk areas, mostly nestled along the northern shores of Lake Erie, Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. But ticks can hitch a ride on a passing migratory bird, or a deer, and show up anywhere. Checking pets for ticks after taking them for a walk is a must for owners. Last year, Peterborough Public Health (PPH) found positive ticks in Havelock as well as inside the city of Peterborough. “What is currently a “low risk” situation seems poised to grow into one where the risk requires more of our attention and action,” stated Dr. Salvaterra. The HKPR District Health Unit says it time

Dr. Rosana Salvaterra, medical officer of health, Peterborough Public Health is one of many health professionals issuing warnings about the dangers of ticks She said the province has released a 10-step plan focusing on building public awareness through the provision of updated resources, toolkits and education in early August. photo submitted

for ‘tick talk’ to remind people to watch out for these blacklegged ticks (also known as deer ticks) that can carry the bacteria. The health unit says blacklegged ticks live in forests, tall grasses and bushes, and thrive in wet environments. In Northumberland County, it is through Health Unit surveillance that the discovery was made that blacklegged ticks are now established in the Brighton area, including Presqu’ile Provincial Park. “We know that blacklegged tick populations are known to live along the north shore of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, so the discovery of an established tick population in the Brighton area is not a surprise,” says Richard Ovcharovich, manager of environmental health with the HKPR District Health Unit. The discovery of an established population of blacklegged ticks in the Brighton area means a change in the tick surveillance program run by the Health Unit. Effective June 1, the Health Unit will no longer accept ticks for testing in the area east of Colborne and south of Highway 401. People can still submit ticks from other parts of Northumberland for testing (testing is done for surveillance purposes only to determine if the ticks in this area are the type that can transmit Lyme).

s i e n u J Reasons to include more dairy in your diet A healthy diet can improve quality of life and reduce a person’s risk of developing disease or other negative health conditions. For example, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can boost the immune system and promote cardiovascular health, lowering your risk of heart disease in the process. While the benefits of including fruits and vegetables in your diet are widely known, the medical benefits of dairy are often overlooked. The following are a handful of ways that dairy products like low-fat milk, cottage

cheese and yogurt can make a nutritious and beneficial addition to your diet. • Dairy packs a protein- and calcium-laden punch. One cup of nonfat yogurt can provide as much as onethird of your daily recommended calcium intake and nearly 20 percent of your daily recommended protein intake. Though dairy products like ice cream don’t pack the same nutritious punch as yogurt, healthier fare like reduced-fat cheese and skim milk can go a long way toward meeting your daily intake of protein and calcium.

• Dairy is a great source of vitamin D. In addition to providing sufficient calcium and protein, dairy also helps men, women and children boost their vitamin D. That’s especially important in the winter months when people tend to get less exposure to the sun. Exposure to the sun is a natural way to boost your vitamin D, but the shorter days and colder weather of winter can make it hard to get sufficient vitamin D during that time of year.

Reasons to include more dairy in your diet Continued from previous page

Dairy products like low-fat milk can boost your vitamin D, which can improve your bone health and, according to recent research, might help reduce your cancer risk. • Dairy may help lower your blood pressure. Men and women with high blood pressure might benefit from including more dairy in their diets. In a study of 5,000 adults, Spanish researchers found that those who reported consuming the most low-fat dairy products were more than

50 percent less likely to develop high blood pressure than those who consumed less low-fat dairy.Though researchers are not certain as to the reason behind low-fat dairy products’impact on blood pressure, some theorize that their calcium and protein content are likely behind the benefit. • Dairy benefits your bones. Dairy has long been known to improve bone density. But it’s not just seniors who benefit from the bone-strengthening impact of dairy. Youngsters who consume dairy can also expect an increase in bone

mass, which can make them less susceptible to injuries like broken bones. Seniors who consume dairy to improve their bone density should know that a recent study from researchers at the Institute for Aging Research found that not all dairy products are equal when it comes to improving bone density. While milk and yogurt were linked to higher bone mineral density, dairy products like cream and ice cream contain less protein, calcium and vitamin D and more fat and sugar than yogurt and milk, and these products may actually be associated with lower bone mineral density. Though there are many ways men and women can improve their overall health, it’s important to consider the nutritional value of dairy when making any alterations to your diet.

has begun again. We have had two meetings so far. Our first meeting was at the Springbrook Hall, where we discussed meeting dates, elected our council and welcomed any new or returning members to our club. Our next meeting was at McKeown Motor Sales in Springbrook. We watched a few short clips about how to operate farm machinery, such as the tractors we will be using, safely. We also went for a tour of the lot and looked at all of the different plows that McKeown had. We talked about the parts of them and how to be safe while using a plow. We then ate pizza and dessert provided by McKeownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Our next meeting is on May 29, 2017 in the field behind McKeown Motor Sales. This will be our first meeting using the tractors and plows. As reported by Zach Kay

The Centre Hasting Beef Club

Meeting number one of the Hastings County 4-H Beef Club was held on May 9, 2017 There were lots of new and returning faces at the meeting. We did our elections for President, Vice President, Secretary, and Press Reporter after we got to know everyone a little bit. When elections were complete we talked about what a good beef heifer looked like and what the number one thing to look for was. Good structure is the number one thing to look for in a beef heifer secondly you want them to be well behaved so you can show them along with that you want your calf to have good muscle structure to them. Once everyone had an idea of what a good 4-H beef heifer looked like we went threw the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. The club has grown greatly from last year and we are still welcoming new members. If you are interested the next meeting for the Hastings County 4-H Beef Club is on May 24, 2017 at 6:30.

Serving You For Over 40 Years! Spencer Evans stands beside a piano, one of two instruments has mastered. He also plays a hypnotic clarinet and sings. Metroland photo

Concert for our times at The Regent Picton - He’s known by many live music fans across eastern Ontario as the king of lounge entertainers. Spencer Evans, based in Kingston, has played extensively throughout the province, including Brockville, Picton, Belleville, Ottawa, Westport and on recordings with major artists, such as Sarah Harmer. A few months ago, he put together a show called “Fats, Ray and Jerry Lee,” which thrilled an excited crowd at the large Brockville theatre, where the manager de-

scribed it as “ the best ever.” Now he brings that show to the Quinte area, featuring a backup band and singers, to The Regent Theatre, Saturday, June 10 at 7:30 p.m. Truly music known to almost everyone, it will include the classic hits of Fats Domino, Ray Charles (“Georgia,”) and the lively rhythms of rocker Jerry Lee Lewis. Tickets are available at The Regent Box Office by email or phone (613) 476-8416. This is a complete family fun night, say organizers.

Taylor Angus duo stars onstage at Caper’s June 3 Belleville - The first thing that grabs you is the voice. Crisp yet emotive and utterly indifferent to gravity, it glides then soars over a deceptively simple foundation of guitar and piano alternately conjuring jazzy pop and poppy jazz with a smidge of folk that’s utterly unlike anything you’ve heard before but something you instantly want to hear again. This is the music of Taylor Angus, the fast-emerging duo featuring namesake singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Angus and her partner, guitarist/songwriter Logan Brown and her partner. The duo takes over the intimate Caper’s in downtown Belleville June 3 for a not-to-bemissed show, said the popular downtown resto-lounge. Together, the pair - by their reckoning, spiritual cousins to Buckingham Nicks, but musically closer to Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass – crafts original songs so unique yet accessible

Taylor Angus and her partner, guitarist/songwriter Logan Brown play the Capers room in Belleville June 3. Submitted photo

that their brilliant new six-track World domination is in the EP, Sympathy For You, can be crosshairs for the Kingston/Otviewed as both an artistic state- tawa-based musicians, a point ment and a statement of intent. corroborated by their dazzling

2016 debut First Light of Dawn which electrified music fans, radio programmers and even British synth-pop star Howard Jones, who invited them on tour. “Our hope is that this EP will do what our last record did: open doors for us as artists able to do this full-time,” Brown says. “This is a total blessing, and to have First Light of Dawn garner real fans that weren’t our parents was amazing,” the guitarist howls. Judging by the early success of the new EP’s saucy, guitargoosed focus track, ‘You’re Gonna Wish I Stayed,’ it looks like Taylor Angus’ desire to “shoot for the moon and land among the stars” is very much on track. Recorded over a few intense days in winter 2017 at Hamilton’s Catherine North Studios with bassist Oscar Ansetti guesting, Sympathy For You is a snapshot of Angus and Brown’s total convergence as a duo after performing solo: she at Ottawa Bluesfest and recording a demo

with legendary producer Thom Panunzio at Interscope Studios in Los Angeles, and he winning multiple guitar and songwriting awards across Ontario. The duo’s easy harmony is palpable in songs like ‘Cry Me A River’ which finds Angus’ voice draped like a shawl across Brown’s supple acoustic guitar, and in the earwormy and sprightly ‘Your Choice’ which, along with plaintive ballad ‘Lay Down,’ features Brown sharing lead vocals for the first time. That Sympathy For You comes with 3D glasses to better enhance its cover image is further proof the couple follows their instinct no matter what. “It is an undertaking to include the glasses in the CD,” Angus laughs. “But we thought it would be cool.” Sometimes, cool is enough… especially when you boast the inimitable sound and style of Taylor Angus. The show gets underway at 8 p.m. for diners. Reservations are recommended at 613-968-7979.

Quinte Conservation’s electric car drives home message BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – Quinte-area drivers may soon notice a white Ford Focus with, oddly, a green-lettered Ontario licence plate on the road this summer. It’s an electric car, owned by Quinte Conservation. The environmental agency recently purchased the vehicle from Prinzen Ford, in Bloomfield. General Manager Terry Murphy said the organization is trying to lead by example. By driving an electric car, in replace of a normal gas guzzler, Quinte Conservation is contributing to a better environment. “We’re trying to run our own mandate, doing the right thing to protect the environment,” he said. Quinte Conservation’s board approved the purchase a year and a half ago, but it took some time for the organization to find a dealership in its area that had a licence to sell electric cars. While not able to site exact numbers, Murphy said the vehicle cost the organization about $20,000, (but that was after it received a rebate valued at $14,000 from senior government to purchase the vehicle.) Murphy said, right now, the incentive for owning an electric car isn’t for financial reasons. A normal gas car is more practical Terry Murphy charges the electric car, with a charging station installed for most people. However, Quinte Conservation outside the Quinte Conservation office. Stephen Petrick/Metroland is tracking how much electricity B18 Section B - Thursday, June 1, 2017

the car consumes and how much it will save in the long run by not purchasing gas and not needing oil changes. In time, he said, Quinte Conservation hopes to build a new garage at its Old Highway 2 location and power it with solar panels. If those solar panels can then power the car, the vehicle would leave no significant environmental impact. Murphy has driven it a few times already and said “it’s quite comfortable and quiet … It’s like

driving a golf cart.” He said the car, when fully charged, can drive about 180 kilometres. That allows it to do return trips to most areas, within Quinte Conservation’s jurisdiction, which includes the Moira, Salmon and Napanee river watershed, plus Prince Edward County. In the past, Quinte Conservation has owned hybrid vehicles, which were run on both gas and electricity. But, this vehicle is its first fully electric car.

Kids of all ages enjoyed Quinte Symphony season finale BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - Quinte Symphony’s final full concert for the current season Sunday afternoon at Belleville’s St Theresa School great hall drew a small but happy audience as children got a chance to try their hand at conducting and playing different instruments. Even some of the adults tried their hand at the instruments in a program, which featured local actor Rick Zimmerman narrating the famous “Tubby the Tuba” educational piece for orchestra, which focuses on the tuba, but also highlights every different instrument and section. The venue was the first time the orchestra has performed in this hall and the sound while described by players on the stage as “wooden,” was spectacularly great for those in the audience, with every solo bit soaring out into the hall from the stage and sections booming through loud and clear. The one-level convenience and abundant nearby parking were also noted. Zimmerman pointed out that the opening work, Mozart’s over-

ture to his beloved opera, “The Magic Flute,” was like a fairy tale with a beautiful princess, a villain and a dashing hero. For Saint-Saens’ rhythmic and stirring “Marche Militaire Francaise,” conductor Dan Tremblay allowed several of the children

a chance to conduct portions of it, after first giving them an impromptu lesson. For “Tubby the Tuba,”the orchestra’s Greg Henderson was front of stage to play an instrument who only wanted a chance to play a “beautiful melody,” instead

of “oom pah.” The program concluded with music from the popular contemporary family musical, Frozen.” Then it was instrument “petting zoo” time. Various orchestra members will still be seen and heard at community events during the sum-

mer months, starting with the Arts and Wine Festival on Saturday, June 10 from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. on the riverfront across from City Hall, and some other events. The orchestra’s first concert for its new season is Sunday, Oct. 1, called “Orchestral Favourites.”

BTG’s new musical scary, but funny BY JACK EVANS

In the words of Cole Porter, this Thursday brings “another opening of another show.” “Little Shop of Horrors” brings doo-wop style music front and centre of the stage for a popular musical, which could be called scarily hilarious or hilariously scary. Directed by Meaghan Lattanzio, making her Pinnacle Playhouse debut in that job, the show itself is a new first time production for the BTG. When a cute little plant is discovered in the “inner city,” its proud new owner soon discovers that it is a man-eating monster and must find a way to deal with it, along with keeping his terrible mistake away from the love of his life. In her director’s remarks, Lattanzio says: “it shows the extremes one might go to for fame, fortune and love.” Toe-tapping music comes from a pit band comprising drummer and music director Nik Buchowski, piano, Charlie Jiang, guitars Dalin Whitford and Liam Greer and bass, Quinn Guernsey, all of them first time participants at the Playhouse except Whitford. The mostly youthful cast also includes a predominant number of newcomers to the Playhouse stage, including Skylar Pierson, Matthew Hawley as Puppeteer, Kevin Pierson, Reg. Stacey, Jonathan Wright, MacKenzie Hogle and Amanda Robertson, leaving Wendy Roy and Alyssa Ross as the only two cast members from previous BTG shows. Show time is 8 p.m. for opening night tonight and the rest of the run, plus some Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. As usual, opening night will be followed by a reception to meet and greet the cast in the downstairs green room.
