Fort McMurray evacuees take up temporary residence in Brighton By John Campbellford Brighton – Mark and Tanya Elliott and their two children were planning to visit his parents in Brighton this summer but that got moved up because of the wildfires in Alberta. The family fled Fort McMurray May 4 and then flew east earlier than expected after the wildfire, which is still raging out of control, spread into the city, forcing the evacuation of its 80,000 residents. Mark was working at a college downtown, where he’s a learning and development specialist, when he saw smoke “blooming” to the south. “I thought this really looks serious,” he said in an interview from the Little Lake Road home of his parents, Aubrey and Lois Elliott. He sent a photo to his wife who’s an administrative assistant with Suncor Energy at a plant north of the city. “I couldn’t believe that it had grown that big and it was coming up over the hills that were right downtown,” Tanya said. Mark picked up their children, Arden

and Ronin, at their elementary school, taking an hour to cover less than 10 kilometres because of the gridlock that had developed. “There was a whole bunch of anxious kids waiting for parents to pick them up,” and their children were among those “starting to get nervous about what was going on,” Tanya said. She met her husband and children at home and they hurriedly packed their Ford Explorer with what they thought they “would need for a couple of days,” she said. It was on their drive out of the city that they “started to realize how much damage had already been done,” to the Beacon Hill and Abasand areas of Fort McMurray, Tanya said. “The whole side of the hill was on fire,” she said. “There were flames coming down the hill and ... on either side of the road.” It wasn’t until they found refuge in a small community 200 kilometres south of Fort McMurray that they learned their home in Stonecreek

had been destroyed by fire. Finding out their neighbourhood had been burned out was “unbelievable,” Tanya said. The couple were quick to accept Mark’s parents’ offer to stay with them while they sort things out, and they enrolled their two children in Spring Valley Public School soon after their arrival in Brighton May 9. The family is still dealing with “the emotional ups and downs” they’ve experienced as a result of the fire, Mark said. “Looking back at it, it’s sad to see the loss of our house but the kindness of people from across Canada has just been amazing.” The show of support for the residents of Fort McMurray he’s seen in Brighton, Trenton and Belleville “has just been overwhelming. That counteracts any of the sadness that we’re experiencing.” The generos- Tanya and Mark Elliott and their two children are currently staying with Mark’s parents in Brighton ity of people [has] eased the pain of while they decide what to do after losing their home in the wildfire that destroyed parts of Fort what’s happened.” McMurray.

School raises $4,500 for pediatric cancer research Northumberland Hills Public School in Castleton was the 39th stop for the Pedal For Hope cycling team in its three-week tour of area schools which began April 25 and ended recently in Peterborough. The usual hijinks ensued – heads shaved, beach balls tossed, frozen yogurt consumed – but all in service of a serious cause,

to raise money for pediatric cancer research. The school did its part, presenting a cheque for $4,502. Lexi Kober raised the most, $525, which earned her an iPad. Eddie Morrison collected $465 and collected headphones for his efforts. Kyle Lanay received an iTune card for raising $269.

Brighton finally gets a new CAO By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Having gone 15 months without a chief administrative officer, Brighton has finally found itself a new one. Mayor Mark Walas announced Thursday afternoon that Bill Watson, a former public works and public utilities veteran, will serve the municipality as the new CAO, commencing in June. “Of all the candidates who participated in the interview process, we were most pleased with Mr. Watson and his abilities and what we believe he has to offer Brighton,” said Walas in a phone interview later Thursday. Watson’s held positions in Peterborough, Whitby and most recently in the Town of Cobourg. In a press release, Watson said, “together, with an engaged community and a capable, productive staff, I look forward to helping Mayor Walas and council continue with forward progress, taking advantage of all that Brighton has to offer.” Watson will officially assume his duties for the municipality on June 14. A formal introduction and welcome is slated during the June 20 council meeting.

“We’re excited and pleased to announce Mr. Watson as our new CAO,” said Walas, on behalf of council. Specifically, Walas says he foresees Watson’s extensive background in public works and public utilities as a huge benefit to the municipality. Watson’s 20-plus years of municipal public works experience was a huge determining factor during the interviewing process, the mayor added. Walas says Watson will be key in taking care of issues that continue to return to council and in assisting the municipality with moving forward. Brighton has officially been without a CAO since March 5, 2015. Around October of last year, council began the process of recruitment, hiring Krecklo & Associates to assist with the process, Walas explained. A number of applications were received for the position. “We were actually able to get that number down quite quickly and shortlisted three individuals. During the second set of interviews, it was decided Mr. Watson was the best fit.” Watson, a Northumberland County resident, is also a member of the Professional Engineers Association of Ontario. He’s also provided strategic and Bill Watson (bottom right), the new Brighton CAO, at a Marina proposal meeting at Victoria Hall, in Cobourg, in 2014. Watson is joining Brighton as the new CAO on June 14. The former public works and public utilities veteran brings more than 20 years experience, having held positions in Peterborough, Whitby and most recently in Cobourg. The mayor also extends his appreciation on behalf of council to the staff members who’ve worked tirelessly behind the scenes for the last 15 months to compensate for vacancies within the corporation.

operational leadership and management, for investment attraction initiatives, business retention and expansion, the small business development centre and labour force development. “As well as strong technical skills, Bill brings considerable administration and policy experience to the job and council is looking forward to him using those skills here in Brighton.” Walas says the plan is for Watson to meet with senior staff and council right away to bring him up to speed on current issues within the community.

“We’ll be meeting with all levels of staff and departments.” The next priority will be strategic planning and the recruitment of a director of public works. Council was concurrently recruiting both a CAO and works director. Walas confirmed Thursday, however, despite recent efforts and interviews, council has been unable to find a successful candidate for the director of public works position. “Moving forward, we’ll be relying on Watson’s expertise and input to assist us in finding the right candidate and to assist us in a new selection process,” said Walas.

cessibility to local healthcare. Council put forth the motion with the hopes Rinaldi could help shed some light on current provincial responsibilities and challenges, and to have him speak to the issue and current healthcare system. Due to short notice and prior obligations, however, Rinaldi says he could not attend the proposed public meeting at the King Edward Community Centre. The MPP is committed to coming to council in June though, he noted. Rinaldi was originally slated to attend for annual report, but during this time the MPP says he’s more than willing to also discuss this issue further. “I have received calls and some correspondence from some con-

cerned citizens also,” said Rinaldi. “I’m delighted Brighton is initiating its doctor recruitment committee again. I’ll lend whatever support I can moving forward.” There are challenges ahead, the MPP added. One of those challenges includes time. Recruitment takes time and communities almost have to compete in this regard nowadays, Rinaldi explained. “It’s a lot like business – doctors are like independent operators.” Another challenge is the number of patients in need of a doctor and to absorb such a large number. In terms of provincial responsibilities, the role of the province is to create doctors, Rinaldi said. And right now, in comparison to 10 years ago, Rinaldi says the

The MPP welcomes residents, who may feel as though they have no where else to turn to or those who may need assistance contacting either Health Force Ontario or Health Care Connect to contact his office. “In whatever way I can help, I will,” he said. Rinaldi is slated to attend council on June 20. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. “We knew this has been in the making for some time, it’s unfortunate we’re in this place now, but we’re going to move forward,” Rinaldi said.

OPINION

Zika and the Olympics In the past, the only excuse for cancelling the Olympic Games has been a world war (Berlin 1916, Tokyo 1940, London 1944). But if this year’s games had been scheduled for somewhere in West Africa two Gwynne Dyer years ago, when the Ebola outbreak was nearing its peak, they would certainly have been called off. So should the Olympic Games scheduled to begin in Rio de Janeiro on August 5 be cancelled, moved or postponed? The health risk in Brazil’s case is the Zika virus, transmitted by mosquito bites, which appeared in the country two years ago. It causes only a mild fever, if any at all, but it has been linked to a huge increase in the number of cases of microcephaly, in which babies are born with small, underdeveloped brains. Some die; most survive, but with moderate to severe learning difficulties. The 4,700 cases of microcephaly in Brazil since last October (vs. 150 in all of 2014) suggest that the country has a big public health problem, but the Zika virus hardly compares with the Ebola virus, which kills half the people who become infected. Yet 152 health professionals from around the world have now signed an open letter demanding that the Brazil Olympics do not go ahead as scheduled. The letter, addressed to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and published on Friday, was initiated by Prof. Amir Attaran of the University of Ottawa. “Sports fans who are wealthy enough to visit Rio’s Games choose Zika’s risks for themselves,” he said, “but when some of them return home infected, their fellow citizens bear the risk too.” The WHO and the IOC immediately rejected his proposal, the former pointing out that the Olympic visitors, expected to number between 350,000 and 500,000, are only a small fraction of the six million visitors to Brazil each year – and that nine million Brazilians, potentially already car-

rying the Zika virus, travel abroad each year. Why focus specifically on the Olympics? Because, says Dr. Attaran, the Olympic athletes and tourists will include many people from countries whose citizens would not normally visit Rio. Some of those countries have poor public health services and warm climates, but are still Zika-free: “It cannot possibly help to send a half-million travellers into Rio from places that would not normally have strong travel connections with Rio and therefore set up new dissemination channels.” Prof. Attaran has even publicly accused the WHO of defending the IOC because the two organisations have officially been in partnership since 2010: “It is ignorant and arrogant for the WHO to march handin-hand with the IOC.” And there is a lot of money on the table. The Brazilian government is spending $10 billion on the Olympics and there’s another $3 billion at risk in various media and service contracts, very little of which will be covered by insurance if the games are cancelled. So much of the insistence that all will be well is certainly driven by concern about the money that would be lost. The risk of spreading the Zika virus to some countries that would probably not otherwise get it until much later is real and relevant, because work is underway on a vaccine and a year or two could make a big difference. But let’s be realistic: the Rio Olympics cannot be moved in the time that remains and will not be cancelled or postponed. So what should be done? Dr. Lawrence Gostin, director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University, has the answer: “What is urgently needed is for the international community, led by the WHO, to declare an all-out war on the mosquito population in Rio.” A concerted, well-funded effort under close international supervision could reduce that population to near zero, at least for the time that the Olympics last. That has not yet happened, mainly because it would be humiliating for Brazil to admit that it cannot do it on its own. Given the internal political crisis raging in the country, it will be hard to find a senior politician in Brasilia with the guts to ask for that kind of help. But it’s time to go looking for one.

Online creeps need outing Editorial - Chris Malette Last week, we reported online the name and occupation of a man charged with production of child pornography. Now, before those of you who get all shirty about the publication of names of those simply charged before conviction is registered, understand this – the individual charged works as a non-classroom employee in a Belleville school and had formerly worked in Bayside. Something to remember, too, is the fact the alleged sex offender was subject of an investigation jointly carried out by Toronto Police and Belleville Police. He was arrested April 26 in an early morning warrant search of his home in Belleville, but police had withheld his name until last Wednesday. This newspaper, it should also be noted, pressed for release of the man’s name and we knew where he worked after we had learned both pieces of information from a reliable source. It wasn’t long before the school board was answering questions about the man from newsrooms across the region. Are there more of these types of offenders out there in our midst? One might think so, given the increasing spate of news reports of busts and large-scale police dragnet operations to snare the predators. In part, statistics for 2014, the most recent year for which such figures are available from Statistics Canada in crime trends in Canada, show police are getting better at pursuing the creeps who prey, online, on children. From the most recent report on the subject, StatsCan’s “Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 2014:” In addition to sexual violations against children, in which information on the victim is available, the UCR Survey also collects data on accessing, possessing, making, printing or distributing child pornography. In 2014, the number and rate of child pornography incidents continued to rise, up from approximately 2,800 incidents in 2013 to about 4,000 incidents in 2014. As a result, the rate increased by 41%, up from 8 incidents per 100,000 population in 2013 to 11 incidents per 100,000 population in 2014. Part of this increase, however, can be attributed to a proactive project initiated by the British Columbia Integrated Child Exploitation Unit which recorded Internet Protocol (IP) addresses that were in possession of, and possibly sharing child pornography.

As well, StatsCan noted: The number of police-reported sexual violations against children continued to rise in 2014, representing one of the few categories of violent violations to increase from the previous year. In total, there were approximately 4,500 policereported sexual violations against children in 2014, about 300 more than in 2013 and resulting in a rate increase of six per cent. This was primarily the result of incidents of luring a child via a computer (including the agreement or arrangement to commit a sexual offence against a child), which increased from 850 incidents in 2013 to 1,190 incidents in 2014. Are there more child predators out there or are the means by which they address their desires much more readily at hand, so to speak, with the ease of access via the Internet? And, if so, do police believe they are making strides in hunting down cyber crimes as they pertain to child porn? Police don’t tip their hand as to what tools are at their disposal, but the major crime units of Toronto Police, for instance, were instrumental in breaking open the case that snared so many online child porn creeps – sorry, alleged child porn creeps – in the massive April busts that saw charges against the Belleville man and another from Marmora. The latter, it should be noted, still has not been publicly identified by police. The tools they are using to hunt down the darkest of the online predators are advanced to the level of those used by international counter-terrorism agencies. Child porn gatherers and producers and those who are luring youngsters online believe they are one step ahead of the law using IP address masking techniques shared through message boards and the like. But, police are there, watching the watchers, as well, and are now getting much more adept at finding the IP addresses of the offenders and crashing in their doors in early morning raids. Are there more child sex criminals in our midst? One could argue there are not. They have always, unfortunately, been lurking silently in our midst in likely the same numbers – walking among us as clergy, trusted members of the community, employees of the school board in inclass and administrative or other roles. We must be as vigilant in reporting and exposing them in our midst, however, as police are in reluctantly reporting their identities on arrest.

Grilled trout a flavourful fundraiser

Codrington – The community’s annual trout barbecue filled the Codrington Community Centre on Saturday. Liana Palmer says the event has been a community-favourite for more than 30 years. “This is a unique event, with fresh

trout as the main course of the meal,” said Palmer. This was the first year the event has been held in May, rather than April. “It just always seemed it was so cold or stormy, the weather was never co-operating,” Palmer said. On Saturday, it certainly wasn’t cold, with the temperatures reaching more than 40 degrees Celsius. However, this didn’t deter community spirit. Brighton Mayor Mark Walas was on hand as well, to help serve up meals. And about 170, over the course of two sittings filled the community centre for the barbecue. “We’re pretty happy with the turnout,” added Palmer. The event isn’t the centre’s largest fundraiser – it’s not big bucks, explained Palmer. More so, Saturday’s long-established tradition is about community engagement. “It’s a lot of volunteer hours,” said

Palmer. Dorothy Fletcher, a local chef was back in the kitchen this year. “She does a wonderful job,” added Palmer. Others lent a hand with serving, cleanup, setup and picking up the trout from a trout farm north of Port Hope.

Family members of volunteers even travelled to lend a hand for the annual barbecue, with some coming from as far as Toronto and Kitchener. “It’s that popular of an event,” said Palmer. Volunteers were in the centre prepping early Friday morning. “This

takes a lot of shifts and a lot of people.” It’s really the environment and uniqueness of the event that continues to draw people, volunteers and families in, Palmer explained. Earlier in the day, the annual Codrington Yard Sale also raised funds for the community centre.

Razzmajazz earns a silver at MusicFest Canada Brighton – East Northumberland Secondary School’s Razzmajazz performed at the Ontario Vocal Festival and earned an invitation to MusicFest Canada’s 44th annual national finals, the highest level of musical competition for high school students in the country.

Razzmajazz sang three a capella selections, Jabula Jesu, Danny Boy and Man in the Mirror, at the recent event held in Ottawa, and achieved a silver standing. Music director Lynda Tonkin said the four adjudicators were impressed with the group’s

“stage presence and how they engaged the audience, as well as the ability to change the ‘colour’ of the voices to fit the different styles of music being performed. It was a fantastic experience to sing in a wonderful venue.” The “highlight” of their time in the nation’s

capital was attending a concert by Gold Company, an a cappella group from Michigan State University. The school’s concert band was invited to perform at the week-long event as well but not enough members could attend.

East Northumberland Secondary School’s music department held its annual Music Night May 25, with the school’s five groups taking their turn in the spotlight: the instrumental and vocal classes, Jazz Eh!, Razzmajazz and concert band. Brighton’s All-Star Band also performed, alone and with the concert band. Members of the Grade 9, 10, 11, 12 vocal class included, l-r, Ava Clifford, Autumn Archer, Abby McDougall, Kasey Beal McHolm and Nadia Douchaine. Photo by John Campbell

Festival a success at new location – but organizers come under attack By John Campbell Colborne – Some people are hard to please. Not the thousands who showed up last weekend for the Apple Blossom Tyme Festival and had a good time, but the few who took to Facebook and called organizers a “bunch of idiots” for having “disrespected all the businesses” in downtown Colborne by moving the annual event to the Keeler Cen-

tre. There was “some really nasty stuff being said ... by multiple people” in their reviews, festival co-chair Jay Robinson lamented, which is “unfortunate, because we had a really safe, successful festival.” Organizers estimated more than 4,000 people showed up on Saturday and about 1,800 on Sunday, but the festival’s critics charged the figures were well off the mark. “We planned for nine months for this week and it went off without a hitch,” Robinson said – only to come under attack by “the same negative vocal minority” whose voice is often heard in the community. Robinson said there were numerous reasons why the festival had to be moved. One was “a million dollar lawsuit” filed three years ago by a woman claiming to have suffered an ankle injury that named the festival, Cramahe Township and Northumberland County as defendants. “What we had to do was mitigate our risk to maintain our insurance this year,” Robinson said. That wasn’t going to be possible at the same downtown venue “so we relocated to the Keeler Centre.” The festival was “released” as a defendant in April, said Robinson, who noted in passing the lawsuit is costing Cramahe Township “thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars” to defend itself. Robinson also pointed out County Road 2, which passes through the middle of Colborne, is an emergency detour route “so if there ever is any incident on the 401,” the village’s main street can’t be closed to traffic. He further explained the committee had undertaken an “analytical study” involving representatives “from every corner of the community” giving their opinion. It was collectively agreed that moving to the Kee-

ler Centre “was the more sane thing to do,” Robinson said. “We took a lot of flak [but] we’re proud of what we did,” he said, and many have since come to accept the committee’s decision. “We had a lot of positive comments,” with many people saying they were initially against the idea but after seeing the festival at its new location they agreed “it totally makes sense,” Robinson said. “For us that was really powerful.” With a lineup that included buskers, a midway, numerous children’s activities, Tough as Nails Tour competition, a Big Apple pie-eating contest, car and vintage tractors shows, and a dance that drew about 190 people Friday night, “we had something for everybody,” Robinson said. “We were really happy because it was safe, it was clean and it worked … we had no issues.” Apart from the potshots.

Cottage near Campbellford destroyed by fire By Sue Dickens Campbellford – A summer cottage on Haig’s Reach Road, south of Campbellford, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday. The call came in to the Trent Hills Fire Department

about 3 p.m. and the main pumper, heavy rescue vehicle and two tankers were dispatched to the site. Fire Chief Tim Blake said when the firefighters arrived they were met with a “fully involved single storey cottage.” The owners “who

are from western Ontario,” had been at the cottage for the holiday weekend but had returned home so no one was inside at the time of the blaze. There was some heat damage to garden sheds on the property.

“There is a good buffer between this cottage and another one,” so the neighbouring cottage did not sustain any damage. Chief Blake noted there was a hydro line down on the property. “When the first caller called in it [the hydro line] was laying down and still live,” he said. He doesn’t know if that was the cause of the blaze. A room on the south side of the building, where

the appliances were located, seemed to be where the fire originated so it “could be electrical.” The concern now is the area is suffering from dry weather conditions. “We are asking everyone to use extreme care when having campfires,” noted Chief Blake. There is no fire ban in place at this time. “A reminder to people coming down to their cottages or trailers to check to make sure they have working smoke alarms and if they have any fuel burning appliances then a Carbon Monoxide detector needs to be installed too.” Damage is estimated to be about $150,000.

Hot dogs take to the trail in fundraiser By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Brightonians and their furry friends were making the difference on a hot, steamy walk to raise funds last weekend. On Saturday, May 28, residents, families and supporters of the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, joined together for the annual fundraiser, the Purina Walk for Dog Guides. “This really is quite the amazing initiative,” says Harvey Moore, organizer of the fundraiser. “This is a tremendous, important organization that helps people with various disabilities…it’s honestly amazing what they do. People get to almost start a whole new life together with these dog guides and they get a companion too.” Moore’s seen firsthand the impacts dog guides can have for people and local residents too. It’s a pretty special thing, he says. The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides is a national charitable foundation, established by the Lions of Canada. It does not receive government funding and primarily, relies on the support of fundraising initiatives such as the Purina walk, to ensure, men, women and children, coastto-coast across the nation get the help they need. The goal is to improve quality of life for Canadians with a medical or physical disability, by providing them with a dog guide, at no cost. “They breed, raise and train these dogs and also make sure they’re a good match with clients in need,” explained Moore. What’s more, programming has expanded, the organizer noted. To date, the foundation offers assistance and training through six different programs. Through the Canine Vision Dog Guides programming, for instance, guide dogs can help to increase mobility and self-confidence for people who are blind or visually impaired. Guide dogs can help handlers to travel

safely through traffic and around obstacles. “There are also guide dogs for diabetics,” added Moore. The diabetic alert dog guides help people with type-1 diabetes, with hypoglycemic unawareness. Dogs are actually trained to detect decreases in their handler’s blood sugar levels through scent, explained Moore. These guide dogs are trained to alert their handlers in the event of low blood sugar and they also know to bark for help or to activate an alert system during an emergency. Dog guides are also available to help children with autism spectrum disorder and help to provide a “calming relief in high-anxiety situations,” for people affected by epilepsy, for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and service guide dogs can help people who have a physical or medical disability, by assisting people with activities of daily living. On Saturday, local residents and families, with their furry friends trekked about three-kilometres across town with the hopes of lending a hand to those in need of a dog guide. Beginning at Memory Junction, the dedicated group, alongside their pets, made their way up to Main Street, weaving up and down side streets, until finally circling back to the old train station. This year’s walk included participants of all ages, including one 10-year-old girl, Charlotte Gorrie. Charlotte Gorrie, 10, and her furry friend, Lucky, prepare to make the trek across town on Saturday, May 28, as part of the anCharlotte was exceptionally excited for nual Purina Walk for Dog Guides, hosted by the Brighton Lions Club. Photo by Sarah Hyatt. the walk. She and her pooch, Lucky, both sported Purina attire to show support for the cause. This was Charlotte’s third year participating in the fundraiser. She hosted her very own plant sale this year to raise money for the walk. Moore estimates about $2,700 was physically handed in for pledges Saturday. This, in combination with online fundraising, pushed the total raised to more than $7,000. All funds raised go directly to the cause, thanks to the lead sponsor Nestle Purina.

Freelancer has a few tales to share By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Former Brighton Independent contributor and local author, Ron Truman, shared his first book signing with local residents, at Lighthouse Books on Saturday. Truman began his writing career in the 1970s, contributing to several local newspapers. “I lived in Brighton during the summers back then,” he said. Truman regularly contributed to the Independent back when Simon Connolly was at the helm. He also wrote for other local newspapers, including the Trentonian, Picton Gazette and the Intelligencer, before making his way to The Globe and Mail. He published his first book, “Polar Bears and Other Scares: Adventures of a Freelance Writer,” on April 20 of this year. On Saturday, May 28, he visited Lighthouse Books for his book signing and to share his experiences with the community. Dedicated to his grandchildren, the book is essentially his memoirs and also offers readers an insider’s perspective on his adventurers and time spent in the news world. “My one grandkid calls me ‘his crazy grandpa,’” Truman said. “Now he might understand me a bit more,” he joked. This was in part, some of his motivation to write the book. Truman wanted to share with people and his family, what he’s learned through 500-plus feature articles with The Globe and Mail, through tagging polar bears and hunted moose, for geo-

graphic magazines, and underwater archeological adventures. Truman also served as a provincial director of emergency information and was at the centre of what he calls the “tourism crisis” after 9-11 and SARS. Throughout the book, there are several chapters, which discuss in more detail his experiences. From terrorist simulations and communications, to solar farms – over the course of 40-plus years, Truman now has a lot of stories to share. The idea to publish his memoirs and to tell his story, however, didn’t come until a few years ago and after he suffered two strokes. “I ended up in Belleville in the rehab clinic there,” he said. Truman is said to be one of the first to write about stroke information. It was during this time, he was encouraged by a rehabilitation nurse in Belleville to write about his devastating diagnosis of heart failure and his battle with strokes, one of which almost claimed his life. “I was actually paralyzed at one point and I had lost my speech,” he said. He recalled vividly Saturday, trying to speak and the frustration he felt when he couldn’t. “I kept trying, but the words, they just wouldn’t come out.” Truman had a blood clot vacuumed out of his brain. “They literally brought me back to life.” Truman decided after this, he would pursue the idea of writing his own book and publishing his Former journalist and author, Ron Truman, visited Lighthouse Books, in Brighton, on Saturday, May 28, for his first book signmemoirs – he would share his stories about his ing.

“I’ve written other books, but they were always for other people,” he said. When he was starting out, he was focusing so much on the strokes; Truman experienced writer’s block for the first time in his life. It wasn’t until he decided to simply start from the beginning his book truly began to evolve. Truman was on hand Saturday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., to talk with residents about his new book, experiences, and to share his adventures. Owners of Lighthouse Books, Kathryn and

Tips for first-time home buyers Buying a home for the first time is an exciting period in a person’s life. Deciding to buy a home often indicates buyers are ready to establish firm roots in a community where they can see themselves living for years to come. The process of buying a home is rarely easy, and first-time buyers may feel overwhelmed at times. Such feelings are perfectly normal and felt by first-time buyers regardless of their budgets or home preferences. But there are a few ways to make buying a home more enjoyable than it is nervewracking. • Examine your finances. The first step toward buying a home has nothing to do with deciding if you prefer a craftsman- or Tudor-style home. Before you even begin your search for a home, carefully examine your finances to determine how much is coming in and how much

is going out of your household each month. Figure out how much debt you are currently carrying, be it student loan, automotive, consumer or any other types of debt. Order a credit report so you can see how prospective lenders are likely to see you, and address any errors you find on the report before meeting with any lenders. Peruse past bank statements to track your spending habits, looking for areas where you might be able to scale back if need be. • Be prepared when visiting lenders. Prospective borrowers can make the home-buying process go smoothly by having all of the necessary documentation ready when visiting potential lenders. Many mortgage lenders will want to see some recent pay stubs (from both borrowers if buying with a spouse or partner), a couple years’ worth of W-2s and tax returns, as well as your recent bank

statements. You can always call ahead and ask lenders what they need to see when applying for a loan. Having these materials ready in advance means you will spend less time at the bank and more time finding the right home for you. • Secure financing before you begin house hunting. Many first-time home buyers might not realize the benefits of securing financing before they begin looking for a home. Mortgage preapproval lets buyers know how much a bank will loan them, meaning they won’t spend time looking at homes they can’t afford. In addition, preapproval means buyers won’t lose out on their dream homes as they scramble to secure financing after making an offer. • Work with a local real estate agent. Real estate agents are an invaluable resource to home buyers and are especially valuable to those buyers who have never be-

Choose an agent who is established in the area where you want to buy a home. He or she can provide information about local property taxes and schools as well as a multitude of additional issues that first-time buyers may not

think of. Agents also know the lay of the land regarding home prices, which can ease first-time buyers’ fears about overpaying for their first homes. A home is the biggest purchase many people will ever make. Firsttime buyers may be intimidated as they begin searching for their homes, but there are several ways to make the process go smoothly.

Home is the sailor, home from sea By Vic Schukov At 18 years old, Kitchener-born Roger Litwiller spent three phenomenal months in the Caribbean Sea on an operational cruise in the destroyer HMCS Ottawa. From the age of 13, he loved every minute of being a Sea Cadet, and became hooked on Royal Canadian Navy history. “The cadet experience,” says Litwiller, “makes you a better person. While making friends for life, it is, more importantly, building confidence, self-respect, and community, useful skills for the rest of your life.”

At 19, Litwiller was a Naval Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserve, and later volunteered with the Navy League of Canada, working with cadets, and eventually becoming Eastern Ontario’s Area Officer. Early on, he was deeply moved by Remembrance Day ceremonies. “While mingling with vets reminiscing over World War II,” says Litwiller, “I realized they were talking about Normandy, but the exciting stories they were telling were not in the history books. It made me want to learn more. I realized then that the best way to tell history is through personal stories.” Litwiller moved to Trenton 34 years ago, to become a paramedic. For the last 15 years he has lived in Carrying Place. In 1997, he started writing articles on naval history in newspapers and magazines. In 2011, he published his first book: Warships of the Bay of Quinte, followed by White Ensign Flying, the story of the HMS Trentonian, one of 294 Canadian corvettes built for World War II, and the last to be lost

in action. Litweller says, “It was a story that hadn’t been told. As Commander of a cadet training core, I wanted to teach more.” He found a survivor who had been with the ship from its commissioning to when it was torpedoed 70 years ago, and had him recount stories to the cadets, more information than in all of the history books. “When I interviewed him,” says Litwiller, laughing, “I asked him to describe his shipmates. He talked non-stop for four hours, then told me that he didn’t know what to say, and pulled out a scrapbook with 184 photos ranging from ocean convoys to being off the beachhead at Normandy.” Litwiller maintains that when you talk history, most people shut down with a glassy look: “It can be boring when dates are drilled into you. But when you tell a captivating story, people don’t realize that they are getting history. You can tell history without teaching it.” While constantly lecturing across Canada, he is working on two more books: One of international importance about 170 ships – from heavily armed rescue launches to all-

steel tug boats - built by Trenton’s Central Bridge Company for the war effort, some still in use today. The book will be available in stores and on Amazon next year. The second book is about six warships named after Prince Edward Island towns. Four served in World War II. The HMS Charlottetown was sunk by torpedoes in the St Lawrence, while two remaining frigates are still active in the Canadian navy. When interviewing veterans, Litwiller is often moved to tears: “I am in awe of their integrity and what they did voluntarily because it was the right thing to do. As I get older, I see it from the other side because I have a son in the military. I will continue to relate these stories as long as I live.” Visit Quinte’s honoured naval historian at www.facebook.com/rogerlitwiller and www.rogerlitwiller.com and Twitter feed, @RLitwiller.

Presqu’ile Bay a natural for dragon boaters By Sarah Hyatt Gosport – There’s a first time for everything. On Saturday, May 28, the Brighton Dragon Boat Club invited people to give the sport a try, at Harbourview Marina. “This is about providing people an opportunity to try something new, and maybe try something they haven’t considered before now,” explained club president, Doug Harrison. “A lot of the time, people think you have to join and pay a membership, but this event is free, simply to encourage the sport.” The club hosts the dragon boat try paddling sessions about once or twice a year. “We really do have one of the best local venues for this, being on Presqu’ile Bay,” said Harrison. “It’s scenic and provides some protection from the winds. This is for people who love the outdoors, love the water and want to get some exercise too.” About a half dozen hit the waters early Saturday morning for the first session and more than a few fell immediately in love. Paula and Ami Herrington, two sisters, are already getting set for their first race after their first time Saturday. For another first-timer, Bonnie Jackson, the experience was exceptionally meaningful. “I know a lot of dragon boat racers who are breast cancer survivors,” she said. One of her close friends the day prior just had breast surgery. “I wanted to give it a try for her,” she said. Jackson’s also committed to trying the sport again. She and others were admittedly a little nervous at first, they said. “But there’s really nothing to be scared of,” said Jackson. “It’s such a warm, welcoming environment.” That’s one of the key elements of the sport, Harrison added, the camaraderie and social interaction. The club often shares breakfast together after a 6 a.m. paddle, sometimes at the marina. “It’s something that’s very unique to this sport,” said Harrison. “We have great coaches too.” These were just a few of the things that

enticed Harrison and his wife to join after giving the sport a try back in 2007, right around the time when the club started. Popularity surrounding the sport continues to grow as people realize these elements, the president continued, and this year, the club has more new members than ever before. “And we only just started up the season a few weeks ago,” noted Harrison. Whether people are looking to give the sport a try recreationally or looking to compete and evolve with the sport, those are both options. Over the last couple years, membership for the club totals anywhere from 80 to a 100, at the highest. However, despite that, about 15 club members have gone on to compete at a higher level and travel the world, bringing back medals. “For a small membership, that’s a huge portion,” said Harrison. “This is something also unique to this club. Brighton and Belleville both produce some of the most competitive paddlers from Canada.” Harrison, in 2014, travelled to Italy to compete and brought back four gold medals and one silver medal, at the world championships. “So this really is an opportunity for people who either want to give it a try as a recreational sport, or it can also be for people who are looking to go the distance in racing, because we do, we have some of the best coaches,” said Harrison. For anyone who missed the try paddling sessions, and who’s eager to get a closer look at the sport, the seventh an-

nual Brighton Community Dragon Boat Festival returns to the marina on June 18. The festival hosts teams from Brighton and the surrounding area. About 10 teams to date are slated to compete. This year’s festival will raise funds for BARU – the Brighton Auxiliary Rescue Unit. The BARU provides marine search and rescue services 24/7, to assist boaters in distress during the boating season, on Lake Ontario, near Brighton. Members of the search and rescue unit are all volunteers, trained to Canadian Coast Guard standards. The BARU relies heavily on charitable donations to fund its equipment purchases and to sustain operations. There will be several division winners for the festival; however, it’s still more of a “fun event.” Many of the festival participants paddle Anna-Lisa Barnes, a member of the race team for the Brighton Dragon Boat Club, smiles ear-to-ear, just this once in the year, for this event. “Last year, we had a team from the bank as a group of first-timers celebrate and complete their try paddling session, on Saturday, May 28.

May 28. The referendum, started by the Ontario Health Coalition, had over 50 communities involved and lead by volunteers in each community to organize voting stations. Rhonda Reynolds, voting day organizer in Quinte West, had four advance voting stations set up and seven voting stations set up from Brighton to Frankford and throughout Quinte West from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the main voting day, Sat.

Out of 2,312 votes submitted in Quinte West and the surrounding area, 15 votes were not in favour of stopping cuts to community hospitals and restoring services. “We are extremely pleased with these results, but could not have achieved any of this without the dedicated volunteers who helped look after the various voting polls,” said Reynolds. “We are also grateful to the retailers and businesses in our community for allowing us to use their facilities as voting polls,” she said. “We would also like to thank the community for participating in this very important event.” Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition held a media information meeting prior to voting day outside of Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) on Tue.

Fan night at Brighton Speedway two laps. He drove under Handley entering turn one and completed the pass at the exit of turn four coming to the checkered flag in a thrilling finish that had the crowd on their feet. Handley maintained the second-place finish ahead of Ferguson, King and Derrick Greig (No.48 Greig Truck & Trailer).

Continued from page 21

Ferguson appeared to have the lead on lap 16, but the caution flew just as he was about to complete the pass and returned King to the point position. On the ensuing restart, Handley went to the top lane and drove past both Ferguson and King to take over the lead on lap 21.

point position.

Behind Murrell, the field raced three-wide, three rows deep over the opening three laps before Wade Purchase (No.53 Independent Alternator and Starter) broke through with the second position. Four laps in, Jonah Mutton (No.39 NOCO Fuels) had come from 12th to run in third. Purchase and Mutton began an entertaining battle for second while Murrell’s lead grew to a full straightaway.

French had to withstand a charge from brother Matthew French (No.13) and Josh Read (No.04 Down to Earth Landscaping) on a lap eight restart following a Bella Cosstick (No.24 Off The Hook) spin in turn four. The veteran driver was flawless over the final seven circuits and claimed the victory. Read, Matthew French, Matthew Moore (No.14 Farl’s Auto Body) and Usher completed the top-five.

It was eliminated, however, by a yellow on lap 12 for a spun Rich Sanders (No.29 Orange Motorsports). Murrell restarted in the bottom lane and locked down the line on the restart. The win was never in doubt as he advanced to an eight car-length lead at the finish. The race for second wasn’t so clear cut as Mutton drag raced Purchase to the finish. The two drivers came door-to-door at the finish and were separated by mere inches. Scores determined Mutton barely crossed the line ahead of Purchase to claim the runner-up spot. Doug Anderson (No.72 Hunt’s Bobcat Service) and Austin Reid (No.85 Kids R Kool) completed the top-five. French Takes Third Comp 4 Win

And the three successful students are bound to have a great opportunity. “I’ll make sure their work loads are varied. There’s lots of opportunity for creativity,” said Humphreys, the children’s librarian. She added that the students will be able to work in marketing and one-onone with children and families, helping the library meet its mandate to engage kids in educational opportunities yearround. Humphreys was speaking from a podium at Loyalist College’s Alumni Hall where, on May 25, Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis announced the success of this year’s federal Canada Summer Jobs program. After interviewing representatives from employers who have used the program in the past, the government was given a clear message to expand the program and run it continuously, Ellis said. As a result, funding was roughly doubled this year, allowing more nonprofits, municipalities and private businesses to apply for subsidies to hire students. Non-profits are eligible for up to 100 per cent funding of provincial minimum wage and mandatory training costs. Businesses and municipalities are eligible for up to 50 per cent funding of provincial minimum wage. Applications are submitted based on the criteria that an organization have 50 or fewer employees and an interest to hire students aged 15 to 30 who are returning to school in the fall. Several statistics were unveiled during the announcement. Nationwide the Canada Summer Job program has created about 70,000 jobs this year, compared to roughly 34,000 in 2015. In the Bay of Quinte region there are 303 student jobs this year through the program, compared to 115 last year. The funding allotment for the Bay of Quinte region was $797,000 this year, up from $229,000 a year ago. “That’s fantastic,” said Ellis, while revealing the statistics. “It’s still not Bay of Quinte Member of Parliament Neil Ellis poses for a picture with Suzanne Humphreys, the children’s librarian with the Quinte West Public Library.

The Good Earth: Viburnums for Julia

Dan Clost Michael Dirr wrote, “A garden without a viburnum is akin to life without music and art.” as the introduction to the section on viburnum in his epic work, Manual of Woody Landscape Plants. We entertain several of these lassies

in our landscape; in fact, we have 3.5 of them. A V. dentatum ‘Blue Muffin’ standard anchors the back veggie patch whilst the front holds the other 2.5 plants. The birch garden has a V. lantana ‘Wavecrest’, its Polish cousin ‘Mohican’ centers the flowering dogwood patch while the remaining .5 consists of a leather leaf pushing a scraggly branch or two through an overgrown clump of forsythia. We did enjoy a V. opulus ‘Xanthocarpum’ until the Viburnum Leaf Beetle found it. (An aside to Gentle Reader: the birch tree met its demise in the last winter ice event and has been replaced by a volunteer ornamental crab apple but the garden was named after the birch tree and so shall it always be so.) Viburnum are a diverse member of the caprifoliaceae (honeysuckle) family with well over 150 distinct named cultivars; if you call Michael he will give you the exact number.

Of the many choices, there are several groups that will work in most GR gardens. Arrowoods (V.dentatum) were used for the shaft of arrows way, way back in the day. Currently, they are most likely used as hedge, a shrub border fill-in and, occasionally, pruned up as a standard ornamental. Zones 4-9, reaching approx 7’ in height and spreading out to 15’ if allowed. Blue Muffin, Perle Bleu, Autumn Jazz and Cardinal are worthwhile selections. Some say that the cranberry viburnums, aka V. trilobum, which some say are a naturalised form of European cranberry, V. opulus even though that would mean they have managed to “naturalise” every Canadian province and every U.S. state that shares our border, along with just about the entire eastern seaboard. This ‘natural’ plant has red drupes (berries) which give it its name, and maple-leaf like leaves that make it an attractive screening plant. The fruit is edible (Dirr even in-

cludes a jam recipe in his book!) with grosbeaks, cedar waxwings, robins and cardinals, amongst others gnoshing on them after other, more preferable sources have been used up. The species can be 9’ by 9’ in size, enjoys Zones 3-8, and does not accept drought conditions happily. Suburban home owners might look at Bailey’s Compact. Fragrant viburnums, not to be confused with V. farreri, the Fragrant Viburnum, are the ones with the smelly (nicely so) flowers. Perhaps the most commonly known is V. carlesi, aka Korean Spice Viburnum. The early spring flowers are almost ball-shaped, creamy white with a pink tinge and exceptionally fragrant. This lassie does well in high pH soils so consider it a good companion for cedars (Thuja) and lilacs (Syringa). Zone 6 would be the lower limit so you might consider a Judd Viburnum- a cross with Korean Spice as one of its parents- to achieve

the same purpose. The Wayfaring viburnum, V. ‘lantana’, has slightly rugose (wrinkled) leaves with deep veins, can be heavily fruiting (purchase in the fall if that is important), enjoys a calcareous soil (another way for us generalist gardeners to say high pH) but has the narrowest of Zones, 5-8, with heat being the serious danger. I have had 3 of these for almost 3 decades now without issues in our Zone 6a Trenton home. There are many more but the one I like the most is the one I don’t have...yet: V. lentago or Nannyberry. I hope to find room for a standard form this fall. Major pest is viburnum leaf beetle: insecticidal soap on larva (they’re active right now), hand crushing of egg masses, tanglefoot on stems to trap larva as they crawl down to the soil to pupate. Viburnums for Julia: who is Julia? She is a new co-worker who asked me to write about viburnum.

Quinte Ballet School of Canada getting ready for Spring Showcase Belleville – Having just performed in the opening ceremonies at the Under 19 Women’s World Floorball Championship on May 3, students in the professional training program of

Quinte Ballet School of Canada are now very busy rehearsing for their much anticipated year-end performance, Spring Showcase. The event takes place at 7 p.m. on

Saturday, June 11 at Centennial Secondary School. Throughout the year, these professional students receive classes and training in various dance genres including ballet, pointe, modern, jazz, hip hop and contemporary. Their upcoming performance on June 11 of Spring Showcase will do exactly that – “showcase” the hours of work, training and coaching in an evening of newly created works by the Quinte Ballet School of Canada’s faculty. Also included in the evening will be excerpts

from Acts 1 and 3 of Sleeping Beauty. “This traditional, classical work pushes the students in their ballet technique,” says Catherine Taylor, Artistic Director. “And offers our younger students the experience of working as a corps de ballet, and our senior and graduate students to have the opportunity to dance in trios, and pas de deux, highlighting all of their talents.” These featured excerpts offer beautiful and creative costuming along with the inspiring and uplifting music of Tchaikovsky, and will be one of the many dance highlights of the Spring Showcase. The prior week’s Saturday, June 4, 2:30 p.m. matinée performance at Centennial with over 100 students of the recreation division, will highlight their work throughout the year in a variety of dance numbers, ranging in style from tap, ballet, pointe, jazz, modern, hip hop, and contemporary jazz.

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.

A healthy diet can improve quality of life

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.

We could pick from a John Deere riding mower, a 4-wheeler and a variety of push mowers. We then went right into working. This club is not just for people who know about engines and it’s not just for the boys. If you are willing to get your hands dirty this is the

club for you. There are many leaders to help us out when we don’t know what something is. This club is the definition of the 4- H motto “learn To Do By Doing”. Meeting number two of the Hastings County Small Engines Club was held on April 12th. We dove right into taking our engines apart. Every part that we took off the leaders would explain what it was and how it contributed to the engine. We are learning about the different tools involved and how to use them properly and safely. As reported by Sydney Summers Junior and Senior Vet Club The Hastings County Vet Club held it’s official last meeting today, May 1 from 1-3:30 at the Spring Brook Hall. The meeting was opened by Vice-President Kelsey Verboom with the pledge and the minutes were read by Amy Dafoe. The role call question today

was Which Meeting has been your favourite and what did we do that made it your favourite. The answers ranged from the dissections to riding horses at the last meeting. We then played a fun Guess What I am game lead by our Junior Leader Rebecca Stockdale. Cameron and Ian’s dad Trevor Allaby lead us in a game of Hen House with Foxes and Chickens. This was a great game. The leaders gave us time then to work on our projects and offered suggestions and help as needed. We concluded the meeting with another round of Mr. Allaby’s game. The leaders then gave us information about next week’s achievement program. Achievement will be held at the Spring Brook Hall from 2-4 with the members showcasing what they have learned during the meetings and through their research,

Forest industry job fair added to Bancroft’s Sawtech Expo

A Forest Industry Job Fair is one of many aspects about a true, regional home-grown resource that will be on tap at the SawTech Log Expo in Bancroft June 10 to 12. That aspect of the event will be part of a larger presentation in the local curling club that showcases lots of exhibitors displaying ways of adding value to wood along with various education components. The forestry career and education job fair is being run by the Bancroft Area Forest Industry Association (BAFIA) and co-ordinator Virginia deCarle says “With the forest industry being the main economic driver in this area and supporting over 180,000 jobs across Ontario, it’s important to educate young people along with the general public about the opportunities there are working in forestry.” Forestry professionals will be on hand and activities will include a scavenger hunt, power point presentation, and a forest walk. For those interested in future work in that sector deCarle

says “Career fair booths covering over a 100’ area will have forestry professionals from Forests Ontario, Ontario Wood, Bancroft Minden Forest Company and a number of other forestry companies.” The event as a whole, the biggest show of its kind in central Canada, is for anyone with an interest in logging, woodlot maintenance, home improvements and wood crafting of any sort. This year’s show will feature the traditional displays of heavy equipment and accessories for the bigger logging companies along with equipment for the smaller cutters, regional mills, woodlot owners, cottagers and various kinds of folks who work with wood. Included in the list will be a huge display of portable sawmills with many being shown in action to demonstrate how they work. Among the accessories, such things as planers, molders, jointers, wood kilns and more. Saw Tech Log Expo also features woodlot tours, educational opportunities, other equipment demos, and show

deals. Organizer, Glenn Dredhart, President of Canadian Trade-Ex says there’s truly something for everyone at the event. “Kids are awed by the big machinery, everyone will learn something about an important sector of our economy, and many will make useful contacts and cut deals during the course of the show.” He says there’s still time to book exhibit space and reminds potential visitors that entry to the show is free. The Ontario Forest Expo, with two arenas and acres of outdoor space, is an important event for people in the wood products industry as well as being a true family event. The reappearance of the Expo in North Hastings, the last one happening in 2012, comes at a time of renewed hope for the industry and the emergence of more ways to add value to a precious home-grown resource. All in all, whether you are an industry leader or industry follower Bancroft is the place to be June 10th to 12th. You can see more reasons why at http://sawtechlogexpo.com/.

County to aid Fort Mac people Masons hold open house, show

By Jack Evans

On a warm May morning, Hastings County Council Thursday was preoccupied with fires. A special resolution to donate $5,000 for relief to Fort Mac whizzed through despite some rumbles of protest that charitable donations should be left to individuals, not spend the money on behalf of taxpayers. One member rested more easily when assured there were contingency funds in the budget to provide for such expenditures. The representative from Tweed, Reeve Jo-Anne Albert, reported her municipality had also donated $5,000. Also in play was another fire, closer to home, which destroyed several units of a public housing complex in Bancroft. County staff was praised for pitching in to help relocate and otherwise support the homeless. Bancroft Mayor Bernice Jenkins had high praise for county

staff and her fellow councillors for their warm support. Then there was the other Bancroft ‘fire.” The entire board of the North Hastings Non Profit Corporation that operates the northern housing units resigned en masse just days before the fire, leaving county staff to bear the burden of financing replacement housing and dealing with the insurance company. County staff are also arranging a replacement board and sorting through the legal technicalities involved. The question about why the board had resigned was unknown. Yet another unusual expenditure that passed was a commitment to the Air Show at CFB Trenton of $20,000 in recognition of the tremendous tourism value and economic input expected from this special event plus the important role the base plays in the region’s economy and culture.

The Masons held an open house to celebrate The open house is part of the Masons’ effort renovations made to their 132 Foster Ave. to be more in the public eye and dispel the building. myth that it’s a secret society. That myth, many Masons say, likely comes from the fact that Masons do not openly recruit new members. However, Masons will gladly share details about the organization to any one who asks. The Belleville Masonic Temple serves as the home of three lodges that meet there at least once a month. They are Eurika, Moira and Belleville-Temple lodge. Between the three lodges, there are about 400 members.

Two years have passed since that sad day, When one we loved was called away. God took her home. It was His will, But in our hearts she liveth still. Loving and kind in all her ways, Upright and just to the end of her days; Sincere and true, in her heart and mind, Beautiful memories, she left behind. In our hearts your memory lingers, Always tender, fond and true; There’s not a day, dear mother, We do not think of you. Lovingly remembered by her family Garry, Brock, Corbin Roxanne, Emily, Maggie.

live right here, for this area has so much to offer. Indeed, as Chris pointed out in last week’s editorial, many vacationers are now selecting to visit this very area for their vacation experience. Therefore, many of us may decide to simply enjoy a holiday by staying close to home this year. It not only makes economic sense, for it keeps one’s travel dollar in our very own province and area, but we have such a plethora of fantastic choices available to us. Most of us are already aware that our area has a great number of fabulous festivals and annual special events, but since we live right here, we may take some of these simply for granted. For example, the Belleville Lions Club offers a series of summer concerts at Zwicks Park (www.concertsonthebay.ca) – and they’re free! This is just one example of many opportuni-

We all know by now about Prince Edward County’s awesome wineries, but if you haven’t checked them out for some time, I’ll bet that you’ll be surprised about how many of them there actually are. They seem to be sprouting up and multiplying at a very speedy rate! Indeed, wine tours are exceedingly popular in “The County”, but were you aware that there’s also a “Barn Quilt Trail”, great cycling routes, and a variety of specialty farms? For example, there are farm-gate operations (such as Honey Wagon Farms), equestrian farms (such as Harderway Farms), and even a lavender farm (Prince Edward County Lavender Farm). In today’s travel piece, however, I’m going to suggest 10 nearby destinations for us, all of which could be done as day trips, and all of these are certainly worth Looking out from Kingston’s Old Fort Henry. a visit: 1. Sandbanks Provincial Park – Yes, I’m still In “The County” for this 2. Fort Henry – This national historic site, in nearby Kingston, was built selection, but we’re so fortunate during the War of 1812, and it has to have such a magnificent beach, been restored as a museum of British where we can simply soak up the and Canadian military history. While sun, walk far out into Lake Onhere, you can see “The Garrison Patario, or partake in a swim and a rade”, a half hour presentation of picnic. It’s a great camping spot, music, drill, and artillery, and chiltoo.

Upper Canada Village – In this 1860s-era village near Morrisburg, children witness what life was like back in “the good old days”. Costumed interpreters perform agricultural and commercial chores – and you’ll visit a church, school, tavern, bakery, steam-powered flour mill, and a blacksmith shop. The whole family can even take a horse-drawn wagon ride. 5.

While in Peterborough, be sure to check out the Peterborough Lift Lock Visitor Centre, 353 Hunter St. E., to learn about the history of this incredible structure. 6. Silent Lake Provincial Park – You won’t find any motorboats in this tranquil, rustic park near Bancroft, but you will find paddlers, campsites, two sandy beaches, and over 19 km. of hiking and mountain biking trails. 7. Bon Echo Provincial Park – The main attraction here is its 100 metre high Mazinaw Rock. It rises directly out of Mazinaw Lake, one of Ontario’s deepest lakes, and you’ll find a plethora of native pictographs on it. 8. Primrose Donkey Sanctuary – This facility is dedicated to the rescue, protection, and rehabilitation of abused, neglected, and unwanted donkeys. It’s located at 1296 Bowmanton Road, Roseneath, and visitors are welcome on Thursdays and Sundays between 1-4 pm.. 9. Algonquin Provincial Park – We’re very fortunate to have this beautiful park of 7,725 square km. so near to us. It’s a great place for family camping, hiking, biking, and participating in a wildlife adventure, such as fishing, a wolf howl, or simply being on the lookout for bear and moose. 10. Hell Hole - There’s a classic rock song in which the group Led Zepellin refer to a “Stairway to Heaven”. Well, I found a ladder to Hell, and it was located just north of Napanee, at R.R. #1 Centreville. There’s actually a series of hell holes on a private property – and a 3.2 km. nature trail - but I imagine that there might also be a lot of mosquitoes and black flies at this time of year. I’d recommend an autumn visit.

Cold Creek County award streak continues By Bill Freeman Markham – Cold Creek County, a local band with deep roots in the region, is one of the hottest bands in Canadian country music. The Northumberland-based band added more hardware to their trophy case Monday night hauling in two big awards at the prestigious Country Music Association of Ontario (CMAO) awards gala in Markham scoring the Group/Duo of the Year Award along with the Fan’s Choice Award. Cold Creek County was also nominated for single of the year for their hit “Our Town,” the rising star award and record producer of the year (Scott Cooke). They also performed during the gala alongside artists like Leah Daniels (female artist of the year), Autumn Hill, Tianna Wood, Town Saints and Jason McCoy. McCoy hosted the show and also hit the stage solo and with his bandmates The Road Hammers. It’s been a golden year for Cold Creek County with founders Bran-

MP Mike Bossio sets priorities on rural needs

By Jack Evans

Being an Member of Parliament from a rural riding is not easy when facing competition from massive cities, Liberal MP Mike Bossio told the recent breakfast meeting of the Belleville and District Chamber of Commerce. The early morning event drew a sizeable crowd to the main banquet hall of the Travelodge Inn. But the rookie MP was able to report he and other members of the large rural caucus of the Liberal government have scored at least some points already, including a commitment that at least a specific amount of the new multi-billion infrastructure fund be designated for “small, rural municipalities,” and also the one-third system for such funds be negotiable for small places. His rural caucus has also negotiated an easement for small centres on the “shovel ready” requirement. But that being said, the government’s bureaucracy defines “small municipality” as “up to 100,000,” and a town the size of Deseronto or a rural township in his riding of Hastings, Hastings, Lennox & Addington MP Mike Bossio speaks at a Belleville Chamber of Commerce breakfast Lennox and Addington cannot begin at the Travelodge Inn in Belleville. Photo by Jack Evans to compete for funding on that basis.

“Large towns and cities hire professional grant applicators to make their brand,” he said. “Really small communities simply cannot afford that and often don’t even have the wherewithal to fill in the grant form properly themselves.” Roads project funds are based on roads having traffic at 3,000 vehicles per day, he added. “Most rural roads in our area can’t begin to qualify for that.” Yet Bossio firmly believes that stimulating the rural economy is the best route toward a revitalized Canadian economy and re-empowered middle class. He cited the newly-formed Picton-based economic incentive group put together by a 50-50 split between private and public investments. The private sector on the committee can mentor entrepreneurs from first-hand experience and the public sector can help provide education and training as needed plus investments. To highlight the need for such programs, Bossio stated: “today’s technology is eliminating jobs faster than we are creating them.” Meanwhile, creative and talented entrepreneurs in rural areas are stifled by

lack of sales and marketing expertise and access to high-speed broadband internet services. “We need adequate internet infrastructure to create a level playing field,” he said. Apart from helping form a large and well-motivated rural caucus, Bossio said he and Neil Ellis, the MP for the Bay of Quinte riding, and some other regional MPs are working together for the entire region. Developments of much significance include the deep water harbour at Picton. There has been no federal money committed so far, but Bossio appeared optimistic that some will be forthcoming. He also commented on the $50 million committed to study the murdered and missing aboriginal women. The suicide problem has also been added to that now. He explained the problem is getting the native communities themselves directly involved and that is what the funds are for. A number of local dignitaries attended the presentation, including fellow Liberal MP Ellis, Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith, Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher and other city and area officials.

Highway of Heroes Tribute gets the green treatment of trees

Quinte West -- Next time you drive along the 401 by the Glenn Miller Road exit, be sure to take notice of some newly planted trees. They’re the result of a community effort to beautify the Highway of Heroes stretch and pay tribute to men and women who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice for the county. A large group gathered in the area on Saturday, May 21 to participate in the Highway of Heroes Living Tribute. The tribute is a large effort to plant 117,000 trees along Highway 401, spanning from CFB Trenton to Toronto. That stretch was recently named the Highway of Heroes, as the bodies of Canadian soldiers killed in combat are often carried along that stretch, as they land at the air force base and are then taken to a postmortem in Toronto. The plan is to plant one tree for every fallen Canadian solider since Confederation. About 80 people participated in the planting on May 21, including Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, Quinte West councillor Duncan Armstrong and Lyle Vanclief, a former MP for the Quinte area and now the chair of the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, which is helping to grow the trees for this special project. Several scouts and scout leaders, Canadian Forces members, veter-

ans and landscape professionals also contributed to the effort. A total of 134 trees were planted. They included 10 and 15 gallon potted stock as well as wire basket trees. Eight different species were planted including red maple, burr oak, white spruce and accolade elm trees. They were planted along the northwest corner of the 401 and The Cleaton family planting some of the White Spruce trees. Family father Iain is a serving member of the Military at CFB Trenton. Submitted photo Glenn Miller Road intersection. Vineland lead researcher, Darby McGrath, has been developing updated planting protocols for the Ministry of Transportation and municipalities to use for planting highway right-of-way trees to give the trees a much greater chance to survive and thrive in the busy 401 area. The project also involves the Upper Canada chapter of Landscape Ontario. Companies attending with machinery and professional staff on the day included Gunn-Duncan Landscaping, Signature Landscape Concepts and Scott Wentworth Landscape Group (who were the primary designers of the planting plan). Several nurseries were very supportive including Uxbridge Nurseries, Connon Nurseries, and Willowbrook Nurseries. For more information on the Highway of Heroes tribute visit http:// hohtribute.ca/

Physiotherapy loss impacts municipal costs By Jack Evans Quinte Health Care Corporation’s decision a few years ago to cut outpatient physiotherapy services at all four hospitals is taking a tough toll on hundreds of working age residents and also impacting local welfare costs, Hastings County Council was told Thursday. The presentation from Pippa Strachan, a Bancroft-based physiotherapist, related how important the skills of her profession are to healing many forms of injuries and illnesses, but are now beyond affordability of many people who need them. The age group hardest hit is 20 to 65, she said, noting that some assistance is available for young people and seniors. The result, she said, is that people forego treatment or are forced into poverty and onto welfare, or they are delayed or

prevented from returning to work as they normally might. Strachan stressed that she had no personal involvement in the problem other than concern for those who need such help and cannot get it and the impact it is having on the community. She researched how the Ontario Ministry of Health has made no such decision, although many hospitals have dropped the outpatient service. The few remaining public clinics available are too far away for most people. The value of physiotherapy is confirmed by the fact that the service is still operated for in-patients. Even disability and similar programs are not designed to cover the costs of the treatments, she affirmed. Council agreed with her concerns and voted to send a letter to provincial and local authorities pointing out the problem and seeking remedial action.

Woodlots get a look from the eye in the sky Did you ever wonder what your woodlot looked like from the air? Have you always wished you had a simple photograph to give you the big picture of your lot? The local woodlot owners association is using some cool modern technology to help with both. On Saturday, June 18 in Madoc, the Ontario Woodlot Association (Quinte Chapter) will host an “active learning day on the ground and in the air.” Two practical demonstrations will help landowners learn new ways to examine their property. Nick January, Geographic Information System (GIS) coordinator for the County of Hastings will demonstrate what you can learn about your property using the Hastings County Community Online Maps System. Chris Droog will demonstrate his “flying camera” drone in action so the audience can admire his aerial videography. In the GIS morning session in Madoc, woodlot owners can be a cartographer for the day. Nick January will walk everyone through the Community Online Maps system, highlighting the easy-to-use, interactive interface with full screen maps. A user guide will be provided. He will show participants how to access the most recent colour aerial photography (collected in

GIS questions and Nick will fill you in with the latest information. A computer is not required. In the afternoon, you can be 500 feet tall. Participants will visit Chris Droog’s property in StirlingRawdon and learn how to use a small drone to explore and inventory their own land for a new perspective. Chris is a computer technician with ample experience in drone technology. He will take his quadcopter drone for a “spin” over his farm, and then show the audience his videography on a DVD. See the miniature horse and donkey farm from 500 feet in the air. Chris will explain all the ins and outs of drone use. He will cover applications, Federal Aviation Administration rules, cost, and available platforms for flight modes. Participants will meet on Saturday, June 18 at 9 am. at the Arts Centre Hastings, at 230 Durham Street South in Madoc. After lunch, people will drive to the farm in Stirling-Rawdon. There will be a brief annual general meeting to acquaint everyone with chapter activities, and the day will wind up at 3 pm. The cost of the day is $15/person, including lunch. To book your spot

Best ever Community Care for Central Hastings benefit By Diane Sherman Central Hastings - Supporters came together for the 14th annual dinner auction hosted by Community Care for Central Hastings (CCCH), held once again at the Madoc Township recreation hall recently. The final tally released May 12 totals $14,427.76. Funds will go to continue programs for seniors and adults with physical disabilities living in the municipalities of Stirling-Rawdon, Tweed, Centre Hastings and the townships of Tudor-Cashel, Marmora and Lake and the hamlet of Roslin. Executive Director Pat Dobb told 175 dinner guests the agency hopes to purchase another mobility van to meet a growing demand for assisted transportation. “Currently, we have one vehicle, which I can tell you is busy seven days a week.”

Volunteer Claire Francis, who has been lead organizer for the event since 2008 said, “Support this year far exceeded our expectations. The community has been very generous. There were 122 donors, which we have listed on our website.” Tickets for the dinner, catered by Doug and Helen Turpin of Stirling, went on sale in February along with raffle tickets for a three-way split of cash. First prize went to Terry Clemens with Nellie Keising second and Larry Bennett was drawn third for $500, $300 and $100 respectively. Volunteers Emma Nash, Sheila Barcier, Linda McLaren, Jan Bruce, Joan Donaldson and Wally and Elaine Sawkins, made up the organizing committee with Claire Francis. Educators Rob Lake and Brian Long stepped into their auctioneer roles, stimulating higher bids

with their usual antics and humour, bringing over $3000 for live auction items. CCCH offers numerous programs, including home delivery of meals, social dining events, crisis intervention, friendly visiting services, reassurance calls and help with household chores, transportation services, a rural mail courier’s alert program, exercise programs, foot care and blood pressure clinics, and runs the Hidden Treasures second-hand store in Tweed. Though partially funded by the Ministry of Health, the agency relies on community fundraising to maintain services. It is managed by a board of directors, and continues programs with over 100 volunteers. To apply for services, to volunteer, or to make a donation, contact the office at 108 Russell Street< Madoc, phone 613473-9009, or visit the website at CCCH is managed by a board of directors. Assembled is Bob Taylor, Jan Bruce, Joan Donaldson, Doug Hunter, Chair Brent Seaton, Terry Richmond, Cliff Derry and Pat Dobb. Photo by Diane Sherman www.ccch.ca.

Time to vote for Business Achievement Awards It is widely recognized that local businesses make a significant contribution to the community. But, businesses seldom receive the recognition they deserve for giving their efforts. Now’s the time for the public to show them the love by nominating any particular business for a Quinte Business Achievement award. According to organizers, for the past 20 years, the Quinte Business Achievement Awards have celebrated business excellence in areas such as entrepreneurship, business development, marketing success, customer service, company practices, community involvement, growth and expansion, innovation, and employee training and development. “The Bay of Quinte Region has many outstanding businesses” says Jacqui Burley, chair of the 2016 Quinte Business Achievement Awards, “these businesses and entrepreneurs deserve recognition for their accomplishments. Nominating them for an award is an excellent way for the community to recognize and show their support.” Quinte residents, customers, employees, and volunteers are asked to identify and congratulate the many hard-working and successful businesses, not-for-profit organizations and business people in your community by submitting nominations. Any business, organization or business person in Brighton, Belleville, Quinte West or Prince Edward County can be nominated. Nominations can be accepted by phone at 613-392-7635 or online at www.qbaa.ca. The person nominating will need to give the name of the nominee, which community they are located in, and any contact information. Nominations can be made anonymously. The deadline to submit nominations is June 30, 2016. “Businesses are honored to be nominated and recognized by someone in the community,” says Stephanie Wilson, Coordinator for the Quinte Business Achievement Awards. “Eligible nominees will be contacted and asked to fill in a questionnaire about their business.” A panel of independent judges makes the tough decisions in October. “The County is pleased to be hosting the event this year,” says Burley. “We embrace the opportunity to put our personal touch on it and look forward to working with the Highline Hall toward another successful event.” Winners will be announced at the Quinte Business Achievement Awards Gala to be held on October 21 at the Highline Hall in Wellington. The Quinte Business Achievement Awards is a joint effort by local Municipalities, Chambers of Commerce and other business support offices in the Bay of Quinte Region. The awards are presented in part by the generous support of RBC Royal Bank, Bell Canada, Trenval Business Development Corporation, Wilkinson and Company LLP, TD Canada Trust, Scotiabank, Business Development Bank of Canada, CN, Municipality of Brighton, City of Belleville, City of Quinte West, Allen Insurance Group, Quinte Economic Development Commission, Corporation of the County of Prince Edward, QuintEssential Credit Union, Adecco, Donini Chocolate, Belleville & District Chamber of Commerce, Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism & Commerce, Quinte West Chamber of Commerce, Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce, Futurpreneur, Riley Financial Group, Pinchin Environmental Ltd., Moneris and Small Business Centre.
