Oriana Singers not your typical choral combination By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – The Oriana Singers of Northumberland returned to Brighton this weekend for a second concert. The 45-member voice choir took to the stage at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church, on Sunday, June 5. “From the Roots Up,” featured songs of famous North American folk singers, including classics from Pete Seeger, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, and more. “We performed last year in Brighton, for our Beatles concert and it was very successful,” said Barrie Wood, a member of the choir and board member for the Oriana Singers of Northumberland. “We enjoyed the space so much and for this kind of concert, we thought it would be great to be back to do it in Brighton.” The concentration for the program was more on contemporary folk, from about 50 years ago, beginning in the 60s. “A lot of the songs featured grew out of the 60s protest, that folksong movement following the Vietnam War era…and they’re pretty powerful when you add that choral element – it makes it almost haunting,” said Wood. “ It’s not about being stuck in this element either, but rather in part, it’s The Oriana Singers of Northumberland during a warm-up, prior to Sunday afternoon’s “From the Roots Up” concert. This was the Oriana singers’ second time put- like breathing in a different way.” ting on a concert in Brighton, at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church. Photo by Sarah Hyatt.
The Oriana Singers of Northumberland have been making music for more than 40 years, across a variety of genres. In recent years, the choir has expanded to perform musical tributes to movies, covered the Swing era, East Coast music and also fused jazz into classical. Wood has been with the choir for about three years now. “You may think it’s initially a challenge to sing a song like Big Yellow Taxi, with a large choir, but we work quite well together – what we do is pretty unique,” explained Wood. “Any music can be written in a choral arrangement. It’s just knowing to look for these things. People have a drive to sing together too. You don’t sing Happy Birthday with just a soloist.” The Oriana Singers of Northumberland features singers from all over the county. “We’re truly a representation of Northumberland,” said Wood. “We have a reputation for quality and because of that people travel quite far to participate.” Moving forward, the Oriana Singers of Northumberland are pushing to involve more youth in what they do. “Choral music isn’t going anywhere,” says Wood.

Trent Hills resident loses $2,500 in scam Trent Hills-Brighton-Cramahe – A resident in former Percy Township was defrauded $2,500 June 2 by a caller claiming to represent the Canada Revenue Agency. The victim was instructed to purchase iTunes cards and provide the serial numbers which allowed access to the funds. Northumberland OPP again remind the public that the CRA does not collect outstanding taxes with threats of imminent arrest or removal of children from a home as happened in this incident. For more information about frauds visit www.antifraudcentre.ca. Officers assisted a Brighton resident with a disability June 1 by getting in contact with his lawyer for advice on a family-related matter. Police provided traffic control on Highway 401 east of Grafton when a tractor-trailer caught on fire. No injuries were reported. All lanes of the highway had to be closed temporarily due to heavy smoke hampering visibility for motorists and the safety of emergency services at the scene. Fourteen live chickens were reported stolen from a property on County Road 50 in former Seymour Township. The owner reported see-

ing two males approximately 30 years old in a black pickup truck fleeing with a yellow crate containing the birds in back around 7 p.m. The investigation is ongoing. Police responded to a domestic disturbance at a Cramahe Township home May 30 around 4 p.m. where a couple were arguing over one of them being out all night. No charges resulted and they were separated for the day. Emergency Medical Services requested police attend a Cramahe Township home where a young mother “was experiencing a severe medical issue” that might have left her without anyone to care for her young child. OPP media relations officer Constable Steve Bates said paramedics determined she was able to continue supervising her child and transported both family members to a nearby hospital, without any further police assistance. A man asked police to remove his adult grandson from his Campbellford home. The younger male left on his own once police arrived. A Brighton resident requested police remove an ex-girlfriend who showed up uninvited. Officers gave her a ride to her parents’ home.

She also praised the volunteer drivers who take cancer patients for their appointments. “About two in every five of our clients tell us they would not be able to get to their treatment without their volunteer drivers,” she said, and pointed out that the society’s Wheels of Hope program is funded in large part by various Relay for Life events. Aidan Conolly spoke about her experience as a caregiver, being the parent of a nine-year-old daughter, Karina, who survived cancer while still an infant. “How lucky for my family there was a system in
place [with] doctors and nurses who knew what to do,” aided by people who directed her to “reliable information [and] fair access to services that could help when we needed them but were too crippled by anxiety to seek them out ourselves,” she said. What matters to her now is that the Canadian Cancer Society funds programs and advances in both support services and research that benefit every man, woman and child fighting
cancer in this country. “If we are going to wage war on cancer, we are going to have to stand together, consolidate our resources,” Conolly said. “Every advance toward the cure is a cumulative gain.” “It is an honour to be part of this journey and going the distance with all of you,” she said. “We’re really looking forward to next year as [it’s] our 10th anniversary,” White said.

The proposal included a convenience store with restaurant, gas bar and an outdoor patio, totaling several thousand square feet, and would have been partially located as well, where the McQuoid and Morrow buildings now stand. Previously, Mac’s had entered into a conditional purchase agreement with three property owners along Prince Edward Street. One of those properties has since sold. Brighton resident, David Green, says council should reconsider the idea of the vacant lot serving as a new home for a multi-purpose library, with a senior’s complex or centre even. Green’s made the suggestion to council in the past, and as a better use for the property. The Brighton resident appeared before council Monday evening as a delegation to discuss “planning for the future,” and to share his ideas The vacant property at the corner of Elizabeth and Prince Edward Streets is now back up for sale.

is necessary, says Green. Green’s suggested an additional satellite office, alike the one in Colborne, or the purchase of Dr. Ronald Twiddy’s practice as potential solutions to be discussed by council. If a doctor could simply arrive and start his or her practice – if everything were essentially already set up, with the purchase of Dr. Twiddy’s practice, Green believes this could serve as a serious incentive. The Brighton resident would like to also see the idea of a professional physician recruiter looked into. “This isn’t about increasing taxes,” he said. “But rather, putting taxpayers’ money to good use.” Green says he believes the community would be willing to help too, if council were to gage some public interest and reach out to residents concerning projects such as these and a new library. The community has crowdfunded for the Brighton Health Services Centre and for East Northumberland Secondary School’s track – it can be done again, said Green. Mayor Walas says he has already spoken individually with a professional recruiter. “There have been some preliminary discussions already with this,” he said. However, the idea will be further discussed, Walas explained, once the physician recruitment committee is up and running. “While we encourage public comments such as these – this is nothing new we’re hearing,” Walas continued. Council is also well aware of the need for space, for doctors moving forward, the mayor added. In other council news: Water trucks “racing” down Pinnacle Street South in Brighton have prompted more than a few residents to raise their voices.

OPINION
Universal basic income In a referendum on Sunday, Swiss voters rejected a proposal for a guaranteed annual income for everybody by an overwhelming 78 per cent to 22 per cent majority. But the idea was not crazy, and it is not going to go Gwynne Dyer away. The old argument in defence of technological change, that it creates more new jobs than it destroys, no longer holds water. In the 1980s, eight per cent of new jobs created in the developed economies were in entirely new occupations, from call-centres to computer programmers. In the 1990s, only 4.4 per cent of the new jobs involved newly invented occupations. In the 2000s, only half a per cent did. So full-time jobs with benefits have declined (only one-quarter of working-age Americans now have one) and the socalled “gigging economy” has not filled the gap. You may be able to stay afloat financially by doing a variety of “gigs,” low-paid, short-term, often part-time jobs, but you will never make ends meet, let alone get a mortgage. Industrial jobs were the first to be destroyed by automation, but it soon moved on to the less demanding clerical jobs as well. As somebody said: “Every ATM contains the ghosts of three bank tellers.” And now it’s moving on to the kinds of jobs that it once seemed impossible to automate. Driving, for example. The driverless vehicles that are now to be found meticulously observing the speed limit (and causing angry traffic jams behind them) on the roads of various major cities will soon be out of the experimental stage. At that point, the jobs of many millions of truck-drivers, bus-drivers and vandrivers will be in jeopardy. Yet this “problem” is actually a success story. Why would you see an economy that delivers excellent goods and services without requiring people to devote half their waking hours to work as a problem? The real problem is figuring out how to distribute the benefits of automation when

people’s work is no longer needed. And so to this relatively new idea: universal basic income. The core principle is that everybody gets a guaranteed income that is enough to live on, whether they are poor or rich, employed or not. They can earn as much more as they want, if they can find the work, but their basic needs are covered. The actual amounts did not get mentioned in the Swiss referendum, but the people who proposed it were thinking in terms of a monthly income of $2,500 for every adult, and an additional sum of $625 a month for every child. It would replace the usual humiliating jumble of welfare payments with a single fixed sum for everybody, so it has appeal for the right wing as well as the left. In the Swiss model (and in many others) the cost of a universal basic income is about 50 per cent higher than current expenditure on welfare payments, so taxes would be higher. But so would incomes, including those of high earners, since even they are getting the same flat annual payment of $30,000 per adult. As for the inevitable rise of the “gigging economy,” that then becomes just the way people top up their incomes in order to afford luxuries. If there is work available, then people would still want to do it, but if there is not, they would still have decent lives. About half the remaining traditional fulltime jobs in advanced economies will be eliminated by automation in the next 1020 years, so this is an idea whose time has come. Then why did the Swiss reject it by a 4-to-1 majority? Mainly because their deal with the European Union means that they have relatively open borders. Luzi Stamm, a member of parliament for the right-wing Swiss People’s Party, liked the idea in principal but opposed it in practice: “Theoretically, if Switzerland were an island, the answer is yes,” he told the BBC. “But with open borders, it’s a total impossibility. If you offered every individual [living here] a Swiss amount of money, you would have billions of people who would try to move into Switzerland.” Well, tens of millions anyway. But the solution to that is to control the borders, not to abandon the whole idea. And it will be back.

There goes Canada AM, there goes thousands of viewers Editorial - Chris Malette Okay, not so hard-hitting here this week, but the loss of a television show was much more than a soft story this past week for many of a, ahem, certain demographic. That is, many north of 50 years old who tuned in to the CTV morning show Canada AM – over, say, the mindless prattle of CP24 and others – were outraged, saddened and feeling abandoned after the network gassed former CJBQ news reporter Beverley Thomson and friends. (Disclaimer - I worked with Bev covering city hall, among other beats, back in the early 90s and can tell you she’s all that and a bag of chips in terms of news sense and a sharp noodle. Now, my wife jokes ‘Your girlfriend’s on TV…’ She wasn’t my GF, but I can tell you there was at least one local media guy so smitten with Bev he, at a daydrinking pub farewell session for Bev, dropped to his knees in a beery plea to ask her to stay in Belleville… but I digress.) The program has been billed as “Canada’s mostwatched national morning newsmagazine.” Pffft… fat load that mattered. Bell Media has said that Thomson will move to CTV News Channel while Marci Ien will develop new projects with Bell Media In-House Productions. Bev always was a newsie at heart and Ien leaned toward the entertainment aspects of the program. With Thomson’s news chops – she really is a good interviewer – and Ien’s sunny entertainment stuff, coupled with the weather and other features, it was a well-accepted, much-loved morning ritual for thousands. Social media exploded in outrage when CTV unceremoniously pulled the plug. Why, you could almost hear the dentures clacking in anger as we of a certain age vented online. Here’s one that pretty much sums it up, as it appeared on Facebook: “I don’t get this next generation B.S.?! You want to have seasoned reporters/anchors, they get so much better with time. CNN dumped Larry King and look what that got them! Also Hockey Night in Canada, why is George Snuffleappagus hosting? Ron Maclean knows everything about the sport, down to the local leagues. I am sad. The last thing I want to see is Ben Mulroney every morning!! Sincerely, Not so old guy” Never underestimate the frustration of the above-
mentioned viewers of a certain age – you know, the demographic often dismissed by advertisers who fail to grasp the fact that no amount of gerrymandering is going to lure young eyes in the cherished 25-45 demographic to watch morning television Monday to Friday. When the announcement inevitably came Monday, confirming reports that the impossibly-coiffed son of former prime minister, Brian Mulroney – scion, Ben Mulroney, will be taking over the show with co-host Anne-Marie Mediwake, the reception was underwhelming from most quarters. Let’s face it, the television media landscape, anymore, is largely a vapid wasteland of celebrity gossip and reality shows, interspersed with 24-hour news channels that run half-hour loops of news reports. The new brand of TV, if you let yourself be lulled by the hipsters who come up with this new shortattention-span viewer-based planning strategy, is short, snappy, happy entertainment dreck a la ETalk (where we’re told Mulroney will remain) interspersed with a quick short shot of news, sports and weather. The rest, for those who care, will be taken up with celebrity babble, hosts laughing and giggling at each others’ inanities and pictures of Kardashians in a bikini or evening gown. Jeff Hutchison, the former co-host from Canada AM who had announced he was retiring this September, regardless, had this to say to a CBC radio program last weekend. “I think you’re going to see a show that’s more entertainment/lifestyle, maybe a little less newsy,” said Hutcheson. “In this world, they’re following what they think is the next shift.” There you have it. The guy who’s been on the inside (even if his silly Internet segment was cat-video heavy and sometimes unwatchable) just gave you a coded message for what’s really happening to your TV viewing trends, geezers. The ‘they’ he is referring to are the people who care not a whit about you or your diminishing spending patterns – they think they’re going to lure kids back to morning television, a place the kids left a long, long, long time ago for tablets, laptops and smart phones. Adios, then Bev and friends. Those of us who will miss you will likely be lumped in with the people who bawled when Johnny Carson left the airwaves. Johnny who?

Mac’s moves on from Brighton, deal is ‘dead’ Continued from page 6 In correspondence to council, other reasons for the petition included the constant noise of the water trucks, even at 1 a.m. What’s more, residents say they’re living in a “constant dust bowl.” Children and pets are also at risk, as the trucks, sometimes doubletankers are “racing down the street,” residents say. One driver, residents reported in their petition, also urinated against the parks building in daylight, with a five-year-old child watching. Roy Cooke, another resident of Pinnacle Street South, says he understands the trucks can be somewhat of annoyance in terms of noise, but doesn’t believe they need to be “banned.” “People need water,” he said. The water trucks are not the bulk of the traffic on the street, he added. Signage to inform drivers the street is a dead-end street may help, Cooke explained. Some accommodations may be needed as well, he noted, to address the “mud-hole” and dust for residents, he continued. Councillor Roger McMurray “supports Cooke 100 per cent,” and believes the municipality should be assisting people with water. The dry weather isn’t helping, he noted. Signage should be looked into, he added. Council has referred the petition
and information from residents of Pinnacle Street South regarding a bulk water outlet to staff for a report. The municipality is now also moving forward with a class environmental assessment, concerning potential upgrading and expansion of the Brighton wastewater treatment system. Council awarded the contract for the assessment to J.L. Richards & Associates Limited, in the amount of $53,120 and a contingency of $20,000, plus HST. The municipality received nine tenders for the assessment, with anticipated costs ranging from the $50-70,000 mark, with J.L. Richards & Associates, up to $201,805 at the highest. With $175,000 originally budgeted for the assessment, the municipality is saving $100,593. Director of finance and administrative services, Linda Widdifield, says staff has done their due diligence and are firmly comfortable with their recommendation to award J.L. Richards & Associates the contract.
“Their references are great,” she said. J.L. Richards & Associates is also experienced with lagoon systems, Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander noted. Council has also approved the purchase of a new 2016 or 2017 3/4 ton pickup truck, with a snowplow prep package for an estimated cost of around $45,000 and the purchase of a new snowplow, for an estimated cost of $10,000. Staff recommended the purchases after routine spring inspections, and a municipal 3/4-ton pickup, due to a list of deficiencies and safety issues, was taken out of service. Funds will be borrowed from reserves, with a repayment schedule starting in 2017, over the course of five years. Council was not unanimous in its decision for the purchases, with councillors John Martinello and Steven Baker in opposition. Coun. Baker said during budget deliberations it was decided this truck would not be replaced. Coun. Martinello said there are better ways to spend money.

Trent Hills – More than 100 youngsters and adults took part in the 13th annual Seymour Family Fishing Day held June 4 at the Seymour Conservation Area. Lower Trent Conservation once again partnered with the Kids, Cops and Canadian Tire program in hosting the free event, stocking the quarry with 200 rainbow trout. The grassroots program was created by the Police Association of Ontario, Bob Izumi, Canadian Tire and Fishing Forever to encourage youngsters to go fishing, but it proved a bit more challenging this year at Seymour CA because of a large presence of algae. “We’ve never, ever seen it like that and I’ve worked with the conservation authority for 28 years,” LTC communications coordinator Marilyn Bucholtz told entrants before handing out a slew of draw prizes of rod and reel combos, tackle bags and T-shirts. She attributed the algae’s growth to a dry April and May which failed to produce the rainfall that would nor-
mally dilute the spring-fed quarry’s nutrient-rich water. “We’re encouraging people to come on back any time in the next week or so because the rainbow aren’t going to survive the temperatures,” she said.
Vanya, 6, Owen, 3, and Yaretzi, 1 – are visiting from Mexico, spending a month with her mother, Kerry Burke, in Campbellford. Last Saturday they tried their hand fishing at Seymour Conservation Area as part of the Kids, Cops and Canadian Tire program hosted by Lower Trent Conservation. Among those taking part was Hilary Sharpe, a member of the Northumberland OPP Auxiliary. Photo by John Campbell

Park Friends’ AGM a good news event Brighton – More than 50 people packed into Stonehedge for the annual general meeting of The Friends of Presqu’ile Park June 4. It was very much a good news event with chair Steve Sinclair presenting the statement of accounts showing Friends are in a secure financial position with reserve funds, which will allow them to continue with educational and environmental projects should there be an unexpected interruption in fundraising. The Friends contributed $87,000 to various projects last year, an increase
of 34 per cent over 2014; $36,000 came from grants and Kids ’n Nature camp fees. The remaining $51,000 was generated through The Friends’ fundraising efforts at Christmas at Presqu’ile, the Lighthouse Gift Shop, barbecues, and raffles. The school outreach program had slightly lower numbers at 1,563 participants, as a result of the teachers’ dispute. On the flip side, Summer Day Camp attendance was up 25 per cent, at 410 camper days, and the Nature Centre
had 12,000 visitors. In Natural Heritage Education, 10,000 people attended 189 programs. Dr Jennifer Arnol from PennState Berks in the United States, who is conducting the tern research study, and Sean Boyle from Laurentian University, who is leading the Turtle Mortality Project, provided updates on their work. Both are making good progress with support from The Friends. Looking back over the past five years, the organi-
zation’s gross financial contribution to the park was up 233 per cent in 2015 compared to 2010, with almost $500,000 having been spent achieving The Friends’ Vision. Most of the actions outlined in the 2011 long range plan have been achieved and creating a new plan has been scheduled for fall 2016. The evening’s largest applause,
as always, was for the John Cole Volunteer of the Year. In announcing the award, Sinclair said Joan Selwood is one of those people who flies under the radar, always competently doing what is asked of her as well as taking the initiative in making things happen. She has been actively involved with The Friends since 2002.

Learn what it means to lose health unit office By Independent Staff Brighton – As the local health unit prepares to close its doors on June 30, residents are invited to attend a public information session on Thursday. The decision to close the Brighton office of the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit was made by the board of directors in March of this year, due to financial
constraints. The health unit is hosting the public information session on Thursday, June 9, from 1:30-3:30 p.m., at the current health unit office (35 Mary Street). The goal is to provide “a seamless transition of our services to community residents, so they don’t find themselves inconvenienced by the office closure at all,” says medical officer of health, Dr. Lynn Noseworthy.
The information session is aimed to help residents learn how to access programs and services once the health unit officially closes at the end of this month. Noseworthy says, the health unit, despite the closure, will still have a strong presence in the community and continue to offer programs from a variety of locations across the community. Visitors of the “informal informa-
tion session” will be able to talk with staff and get details concerning services around well water testing, sexual health clinic services, food handler training programs and prenatal classes. “While we will no longer have a single physical location from which to serve the public, we are still here for Brighton residents,” said Noseworthy. “We are working with a number of community partners and
organizations so that we can continue to offer our services to Brighton residents through a variety of new locations.” Information about programs and services is also available on the health unit’s website. The health unit is also encouraging residents to e-mail any questions to info@hkpr. on.ca or to call the health unit at 1-866-888-4577 for more information.
Warkworth couple receive certificate of appreciation for breakfast program By John Campbell Warkworth – It’s hard to fill a student’s mind with knowledge when there’s no food in the stomach to stoke the brain cells. Jim and Liz Law have been providing the fuel for learning for five years, organizing the breakfast program at Percy Centennial Public School. They got involved in school life when their son Cameron, who’s now in his third year at university, was in Grade 3. Liz Law served as chair of the school council for a few years and Jim helped out with the breakfast program before the two assumed responsibility for its preparation three days a week. “We feed anywhere from 50 to 100 kids a day” – all within 20 minutes, Liz said. “There‘s a lot of happy bellies when they leave.” The fare includes scrambled eggs, the students’ favourite “as long as there’s ketchup,” cereal, pancakes, muffins, ham and cheese wraps, apples, carrots, yogurt, apple juice and milk.

Brighton YMCA fundraiser June 10 at community centre By John Campbell Brighton – The largest fundraiser of the year for the Brighton branch of the YMCA will take place this Friday at the King Edward Park Community Centre. Proceeds from the dinner and auction supports the organization’s Strong Kids Campaign, which helps people in the community, who can’t afford a membership or send a child to summer camp. The campaign also provides seed money for the launch of new programs in Brighton, Colborne and Campbellford, says Anne Gear, manager of the Brighton YMCA and the fundraiser’s organizer. Membership in the charitable organization costs $54.24 per month, and $48.59 for a senior. The agency spends approximately $10,000 a year to help residents become a member by subsidizing a portion of the cost. “We probably help out close to a hundred people throughout the year,” Gear said. Total membership currently stands around 500. The amount of assistance each recipient is provided varies, according to their financial means. “Generally we ask for a contribution from them,” she said. The national campaign is aimed at making strong kids, strong families, strong communities. Close to 40 items are up for auction, ranging from gift certificates to prints. The cost of admission is $40 for the three-hour event, which starts at 6 p.m., and ticket buyers will be given a receipt for $20 as a charitable tax donation. The two previous dinners and auctions raised a combined $8,000. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the auction table or to make a direct donation can do so by calling Gear at the YMCA at 613-4752887. The agency opened in 2003 at the Brighton Family Health Services Centre.

Brighton looking for residents with health care experience to sit on committee By John Campbell Brighton – The municipality has set a deadline of June 24 to find five members of the public with health care experience willing to serve on its physician recruitment committee along with two members of council. Council began inviting applications on the municipal website after voting unanimously to re-establish the advisory committee at a special meeting June 2. Councillor Roger McMurray gave his support despite saying at the outset he didn’t think “either council or the public at large has the skills necessary to recruit physicians,” noting “there
are firms out there that do this for a living” that should be given the job. He pointed out the municipality hired a head-hunting firm to find it a CAO, so why should it set up an “ad hoc committee to do something as important as physician recruitment?” Councillor John Martinello said council “lost” two months in taking that long to deal with “an urgent matter” that surfaced when a local physician’s plan to retire in June became public. Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander agreed “there is a sense of urgency” in moving that the committee be formed to address physician recruitment “as well as other health services needs” in
the municipality, as recommended by council when it met as committee of the whole May 11. Councillor Laura Vink said “the first area” the physician recruitment committee should look at are ways to provide “some sort of health care” right now to people who don’t have a doctor. “That’s a real concern,” she said. McMurray said it’s “an immense problem ... It’s priority number one in my book.” Brighton will be getting another doctor but not for another year, and there will still be a great many residents without a physician after he begins practice.
“We all recognize that being able to deliver [a solution} is the issue,” and presents “a huge challenge for this area,” Mayor Mark Walas said, revealing a Quinte West physician with a patient roster in excess of 2,000 “will be finished by October.” Councillor Steve Baker said he hopes residents “have realistic expectations” about what the committee can accomplish. It’s going to be “a difficult, difficult process” to recruit more doctors because there so many other communities “in the same boat.” “I would encourage everyone, and I have family members who are doing so, to do whatever you can on your own to find out if there are any doc-
tors in surrounding communities that are taking patients,” he said. The committee’s terms of reference still have to be defined and Ostrander said he hoped council would keep an open mind about expanding its membership to include residents without health care experience. Council has allocated $100,000 for use as an incentive in the recruitment of physicians. Money alone won’t be “solely the catalyst,” Walas said afterwards, saying a community’s lifestyle and quality of life are also important factors. People need to understand “this will be an ongoing process ... There are no home runs here.”

Brighton’s Own
Gerald Banting; teacher, artist and naturalist By Vic Schukov In 1980, after completing an honours degree in Art Education from Queen’s, Gerald Banting moved from Bowmanville to Brighton to teach Visual Art at ENSS. After 27 distinguished years of regular classes, he is into his tenth year of facilitating the school’s productive Art Club.
Banting loves teaching art: “It is very gratifying to recognize where a child is at a certain age, and bring their best personal commitment up to a new level,” says Banting. “My approach is to set the kids free to release their energies in a spirit of originality.” Banting urges them to tap into their inner selves. By encouraging them to draw well, he inspires them
to generate their own ideas. He says, “I teach them to persevere through the inevitable moments of self-doubt until they hit that exhilarating breakthrough moment when they rescue the piece. I can relate because my life has been threaded together through memories of my art.” His reward is when something out of the ordinary happens and both
teacher and students learn something. A Brighton blessing is in living at the doorstep to nature. Banting used to take his students to the conservation area and have them draw on site, then bring their sketches back to the studio for finishing. He says, “It allowed them to experience their connection to the natural world.” Ecology is dear to Banting’s heart.

When he works in acrylics, he has the students use a stick to get each colour out and then spread the excess in many layers onto old paper. Eventually he makes leaf prints on top of the sheets, cuts them out and sells them to raise money for the Terry Fox Fund. Banting has left his impression on more than the hearts of students: For seven school plays in a row, he did the lobby art. And his enduring murals with the kids can be seen in the school cafeteria, its halls and gym. Also, the outside north wall of the local Legion bears the November 11th commemorative mural done by him and his students. For that, the Legion donated $3,000 to the 1997 /1998 ENSS Terry Fox Fund. A recurring theme of Banting’s paintings has to do with living a better life surrounded by trees, in celebration of nature’s beauty. His frames with the help of local craftsman Steve Flindall are made from recycled and rejuvenated old pieces of wood. In the 1980s and 90’s, Banting actively exhibited his art with the 3 +3 Art Group throughout the counties in such places as the Lions Club Art Shows and the Art Gallery of Northumberland. One of his biggest (solo) art shows was in in Belleville in 2001: Roughcuts and Windfalls: Art from the Maple Mine. In October 2014, he and William Murtha had a vernissage at the Brighton Community Center, resulting in a contribution of $1,200 to the ENSS Terry Fox Fund, the Canadian Diabetes Association and the Canadian Red Cross. Brighton’s own master artist and teacher is still hard at work, honouring both Brighton and Mother Nature.

Brighton Kinsmen celebrate 40 years strong By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Allan Simpson has done more than just help his community. His efforts over the course of 31 years have been far-reaching. This much was clear Saturday evening, as dozens of individuals whose lives he’s touched and impacted filled the Brighton Legion, to recognize the long-standing Kinsmen club president with the highest honour possible, a life membership award. The club was also celebrating its 40th anniversary. Simpson is now one-of-five of the Brighton club to have been honoured with the award. “He had no clue, we made this addition to the agenda,” said district treasurer, Gary Gornik. “When he walked in that door and saw the banner, you could tell he was floored, it took him a minute to compose himself.” Simpson, the club’s president now for more than a decade, had been at the helm organizing the anniversary celebration. He didn’t know the club had planned an entire separate celebration on his behalf to commemorate his service. “This is absolutely the highest honour that can be bestowed to a club member,” explained Gornik. “It’s quite the process, the club has to apply to the national office and get that permission.” A lifetime of friends and countless others who’ve worked with Simpson over the years, alongside several district representatives for Kin Canada and other dignitaries joined in the celebration Saturday to reminisce and acknowledge Simpson’s contributions. Countless others sent letters of congratulations and thanks. “I’ve been fortunate to meet a lot of people of the years and create some very fond memories through my Kin associations,” a humble Simpson said. Simpson joined the club in his mid-30s. He’s well known in the community for serving up pancake breakfasts at events like this weekend’s Relay for Life and for many years at Brighton’s Applefest. “We’ve been involved with Applefest since day one. So yes, I’ve served a lot of pancake breakfasts,” he joked. Looking around the room Saturday evening,
recalling the smiles at local events and reminiscing about the many projects the club and Simpson have been a part of, the club president has many memories to cherish, he said. The club for nearly half a century now, has ensured community needs have not gone unmet, by funding various projects and by lending a helping hand when needed in terms of service projects. From minor sports, to chipping in and laying the flooring and pipes for the Brighton arena back when artificial ice first evolved – Simpson’s had a full life with the Kinsmen club. “I’ve enjoyed the fellowship,” he said. And that’s initially why he joined the club – friendship. But he’s since received so much more. Some of his fondest and proudest moments he has are due to his work through the Kin club and helping children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Over the years, the Kin clubs have contributed more than $40 million into research and to help kids with CF. To date, there are now more adults living with CF than there are children and it wasn’t always like that, Simpson explained. People with CF are living longer, in other words. “We actually have doctors from the states that come here to conduct research and that’s largely in part because of our involvement,” said Simpson. His direct work with kids with CF has been more than “inspirational” at times. Simpson recalled this one youth, Kevin, who the club invited at a district convention in Cobourg, to hit the stage and live out his dreams as a musician. To see him perform, it was one of the highlights of Simpson’s time with the club. The club president also use to regularly travel to Orillia to help set up a camp for kids with CF. There, he met this one young boy, who may have been eight or nine. Simpson learned how this young lad walked to school every day alone, while his peers walked on the other side of the street, as instructed by their parents because he was sick.

Trek in Toronto to Brighton Kinsmen highlight need for a cure celebrate 40 years strong
By Sarah Hyatt
Brighton – Two-in-five Canadians are now estimated to develop cancer in their lifetimes. One-in-four will die from cancer. And this fall, a 59-year-old Brighton resident is preparing to trek 25-kilometres across the iconic streets of Toronto, all with the hopes of helping to find a cure. Until this year, Hope Bailey never had anyone close to her impacted by cancer. “This year, this has really hit close to home for me,” she said. Both her brother-in-law and sisterin-law were recently diagnosed with cancer. In addition, since the beginning of this year, five of Bailey’s friends, stretching from Trenton to the Greater Toronto Area, have since been diagnosed. “It’s overwhelming,” she said.
To do her part, Bailey has committed to participating in the Rexall OneWalk to Conquer Cancer, which benefits the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Bailey, who turns 60 on July 13, has never done anything like this before. This will be a first and she admits, she’s a little intimidated concerning the 25-kilometre trek, but she’s committed to lend her support in finding a cure in whatever way she can, she says. Bailey has now seen just how quickly cancer can turn a person’s life upside down, with the expenses for treatment, the transportation, the time spent driving and for treatments. “This is my way of doing my little part,” Bailey says. In her decision to commit to this particular fundraiser, Bailey says she’s looking at the larger picture.
“The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is one of the top five cancer research centres in the world,” she explained. “And proceeds, as they’re raised go directly and immediately to cancer research.” This makes this event particularly unique, the Brighton resident insists. “We’re not waiting until the walk to have an impact.” Bailey and her sister, who will be walking together on Sept. 10, for the OneWalk fundraiser have committed to raising $3,000.
Continued from page 17
“They didn’t understand back then,” Simpson explained. This young boy was nervous to attend the camp and didn’t want to stay. His parents encouraged him to just try it – so he did. The next day he saw all the other kids swimming, having fun. He realized in that moment that he Please see “Trek” on page 19 wasn’t really the one who was sick, and he decided at that young age, he would become a spokesperson and inform others of what CF really was, said Simpson. To have been a part of that was something truly special, added Simpson. Others, including Mayor Mark Walas, Governor for District 8 Kin Canada, Doug Robinson, and various club
members also shared stories of Simpson’s impacts Saturday evening. Sharon Pettey, club member and treasurer, says without Simpson at the helm for the last eight-to-nine years, she’s not sure there would have been a 40th anniversary. This will be Simpson’s last year as president. It’s anticipated his son, Chris, will take over for him. Though, Simpson can’t fully give up his club, he says. He plans to stay on as a member. Simpson also currently serves as deputy governor for the zone, helping about eight other clubs and over the years has consistently held some sort of executive position. “I’m going to stay on as long as I can,” he said.

Statistics show, she continued, back in the 1940s, survival rates were about 25 per cent after a diagnosis of cancer. To date, depending on the cancer, survival rates may range from 63-97 per cent. It’s because of this, Bailey is eager to cross that finish line. “I have a really good feeling about this,” she said. “I know how many people this has and is impacting. To cross that finish line, side-by-side with survivors, with those who’ve been touched by cancer, united in a common goal – I want to do my part.” And despite an injury, Bailey isn’t prepared to let that deter her. There are support services in place, Bailey explains, if other local residents may be interested in taking part in the event, but are hesitant due to health concerns. “This is quite the event to be part of,” she added. The fundraiser is more than just a walk, but more an “inspiring festival experience in one day,” with evening activities. Annually, anywhere from more than 100,000 men, and close to 100,000 women will be diagnosed with cancer, communications manager, Leviana Coccia reports.
The OneWalk fundraiser means to brings communities of participants, supporters and survivors together with one common goal: to conquer cancer in this lifetime, says Coccia. Funds raised through the walk, support personalized cancer medicine at the cancer centre, meaning when a participant registers they a select a cancer fund that their dollars raised will support. In other words, participants may choose to support research for lung, blood, breast, gastrointestinal, brain or childhood cancers, for examples. Bailey has chosen to designate her funds to gastrointestinal cancer research in honour of her brother-in-law. Leading up to the event, Bailey is hopeful other local residents will join her on this journey to help conquer cancer. “I’d like to know if other local residents would be interested in participating or maybe holding a 10-kilometre walk here in this area or whether people would be interested in helping with a fundraiser,” she said. Participants are encouraged to host local events leading up to the event. Anyone interested in showing his or her support may contact Bailey at 1-905-809-7742 or visit www.onewalk.ca, click Toronto, and search Hope Bailey or her team name, Falling Birches under the donate tab. In 2015, the walk raised more than $7.5 million.

Prohibition’s “most notorious rum-runner’ spent his final days in Brighton By John Campbell Brighton – The final chapter of the “most notorious rum-runner of Prohibition” in Ontario was written after he moved to Brighton. It’s a “fascinating period in Ontario history” and the life and times of Ben Kerr is “just a real neat story,” Dan Buchanan said in a talk he gave recently hosted by the Friends of Hilton Hall Heritage Centre. Most of the material he presented was taken from two books written by Belleville author C.W. Hunt, Whiskey and Ice: The Saga of Ben Kerr, Canada’s Most Daring Rumrunner, and Booze, Boats and Billions. Kerr, a pianist as well as a business agent for a union, was “having
a lot of trouble financially” when he hooked up with Hamilton bootleggers Rocco and Bessie Perri, who started out selling shots of whiskey out the back of their grocery store and were millionaires within a couple of years, Buchanan said. Kerr, who loved boats, was perfect for the job of running booze across Lake Ontario to the United States where Prohibition was also in full force. He eventually struck out on his own, and as “he got more and more successful ... that made him a target for the gangs.” The risk they posed eventually drove him to move to Presqu’ile Point.

After Kerr was apprehended by the United States Coast Guard and spent time in jail, he vowed never to get caught again by building a boat that could “outrun everybody on

maximum amount of illicit cargo possible, with a steel-sheathed hull to withstand ice in the winter. Kerr and his partner Alf Wheat smuggled year-round and it proved their undoing. Their last run was Feb. 24, 1929, carrying beer made in Quebec. They made it to the other side, but the crossing had been very difficult and they used a lot of fuel, Buchanan said. Kerr, however, chose not to refuel for fear of being nabbed by the authorities and the pair headed home. But the weather was terrible and they never made it. Their remains were discovered days later near Lakeport, and taken to Brighton for an inquest before being taken to Hamilton for burial. Wheat’s family “were absolutely certain” the two men had been murdered by the Perris or another gang, for “operating independently [but] there’s no evidence for that,” Buchanan said.

Rand, Hennessy, Ramsay, French and Leclair win on school bus race night at Speedway
By Clayton Johns
Brighton – A capacity crowd at Brighton Speedway witnessed an exciting and wacky 15 school buses battle in the Workman’s OK Tire School Bus Races presented by Lange & Fetter Ford and Hotch’s Auto Parts. Sixty-one stock cars were also on hand across four divisions with a full night of racing schedule for them as well. Leclair Wins Bus Race Dean Leclair drove his No.D3 bus to victory lane in the 15-lap feature for the Workman’s OK Tire School
Bus Races. The 15 buses who started the race battled three and sometimes four wide around the 1/3-mile oval. After a couple of early cautions, Leclair emerged with the race lead and drove to a straightaway advantage over Bernie Rhebergen’s No.77 bus. A slowed bus on lap 13 brought the caution out and set up a greenwhite-checkered finish. Leclair and Rhebergen battled side-by-side for the final two laps with Leclair claiming the checkered flag and the bus trophy by less than a nose. Rick Sopaz and Matt Down battled to the final lap to finish third and fourth, respectively.

Rand Scores First Career Late Model Win
A tacky race track was Tyler Rand’s best friend on Saturday night as the Picton, Ont. native drove to his first career Vanderlaan Building Product Pro Late Model win in his No.84 Terry’s Taxi car. Third-starting Andy Mayhew (No.1 A&A Haulage) drove to the opening lap, but Rand wrestled it back to lead lap two. Kyle Sopaz (No.12 KD Transmissions) briefly held the second spot until Adam Turner (No.92 Village Variety) took the runner-up position and set out to track down the race leader Rand. Rand maintained a one-second advantage throughout most of the night as Turner could not gain on the No.84.
Wow..was it cold down at Brighton Bay when you might have seen us at the annual Fishing Derby.. for many years, now, we have assisted the Trenton Kiwanis Club in operating the weigh scale. We set up Friday afternoon and tore down Sunday afternoon. And in between, braved some very strong and cold winds from the bay that would have surely flipped our tent, if we had not secured it down.
Talking about learning… we had our incoming President, Victoria Parker travel to Chicago and Rotary International. Something she heard struck a chord with her. To paraphrase, “Anyone can be a Rotarian but you don’t become one until you start helping on your community” Our first guest speaker this month was Art Middleton who gave us some history on Proctor House and Proctor Barn.

Hennessy Wins Second-Straight Canadian Modified Feature Andrew Hennessy (No.87 Custom Automotive) drove from the ninth starting position to claim his second win in as many weeks in the 25-lap Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modified feature. Heat winner Shawn Gregory (No.1 CPS Wood Products) and Dan Inley (No.28 Ball Machine) brought the field to green, but Hennessy quickly made his way forward along with 10th-starting Dan Ferguson (No.11 Kilmarnock Enterprise) and sixth-starting Doug O’Blenis (No.32 John’s Car Care).

Other community related events this past month, included the May 1st BBQ (yes, it was cold and wet that day also) where we cooked for the Northumberland Community Care at Memorial Park. Then, on May 14th, we assisted Spring Valley Public School on their annual Fun Fair… in just over an hour, we served 300 hot dogs and burgers so we kept very busy. And, watch for us on Canada Day as we serve up our back bacon on a bun and of course, burgers and dogs. Meanwhile, several Rotarians spent a weekend up at Trent University acting as coaches and mentors at the annual Camp Enterprise for 50 high school students representing local Rotary clubs. These couple of days are designed to teach our youth, more about business entrepreneurism and what it takes to be successful.
Both cars ran the top lane of a very fast racetrack. Despite the top two drivers battling on the top, Brandon Mowat (No.46 Target Fabrication) made the bottom lane work and drove to third past both Charlie Sandercock (No.57 Bellevue Fabricating) and Phil Potts (No.29 Brighton Recycling). Rand’s lead was erased on lap 19 when Greg Belyea (No.25 Excel Tower Service) spun in turn one to bring out the only yellow of the race. Rand was flawless on the restart and Turner went in to an expertise defense mode to move back to the top lane and hold the second spot over Mowat. The final 11 laps left little doubt for Rand, who claimed his first career feature win in a Pro Late Model after switching from Sprint Car competition to start the 2015 season. The win also capped a perfect night for Rand, who

Of course, the hi-lite of Art’s visit was our presentation of $5,000 to the Simpson Barn Theatre sound system (thanks to the earlier donation from the Henry Hayes Estate that we have been returning back to the community) The other speaker was one of our new Rotarians, Denis Goulet. He gave us an enthusiastic presentation about his mix of family, interests and work. Like a true Rotarian, he lives by his cores values of integrity, caring, authenticity, accountability, respect and striving for excellence. He recently completed his Masters Business Administration
Brighton Independent - Thursday, June 9, 2016
from Queens University and is always looking at upgrading his knowledge by various courses and certifications. And, at a different meeting, Denis actually showed his business management skills as he led us in a session on team building workshop that revolved around our Vocational Avenue of Service. It certainly created some new ideas on how we can best serve our community in this specific avenue of service. As always, should you be interested in knowing a bit more about Rotary, please feel free to give Dave Sharp a call at 613-475-5109 or drop by for Breakfast some Friday morning.

The 20-la pfeature started with Peter Moore (No.17) and Matthew Moore (No.14 Farl’s Auto Body) (no relation) started on the front row. Peter Moore led the opening three laps while Josh Read (No.04 Down To Earth Landscaping) and French drove second and third, respectively. A caution on lap three for an implement tire on the track allowed Read to claim the point on the restart as French took over second. Three laps later, French took the lead from Read and began to distance himself from the field until a second yellow on lap eight. Perth, Ont. driver Corbin Millar (No.66) made his first start and jumped in to the top-three off the restart. After the halfway point, Millar took the lead from French and began to pull away from the field. Leading by nearly half a straightaway, Millar got pinched behind a slowed car with two laps to go, allowing French to take over the
lead again. A yellow flag on lap 18 setup a two-lap dash, which French refused to squander. He claimed his fourth feature win of the season over Read, his brother Matthew French, Nathan Day (No.24 Active Wealth Management) and Matthew Moore.

Rolling thunder heralds Heroes Highway Ride By Ross Lees Quinte West – If you were adjacent to the National Air Force Museum of Canada’s (NAFMC) parking lot Saturday morning, you would have no trouble understanding why they call a large motorcycle procession “rolling thunder.” As the approximately 2,200 motorcycles making up the Heroes Highway Ride 2016 departed from that location to begin the annual fundraising and memorial ride, the thunder rolled for nearly an hour to empty the lot. The long line of motorcycles would follow Highway 401 - Highway of Heroes - to Port Hope for a huge rally at Port Hope Memorial Park in memory of fallen and presently serv-

ing Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members. Organized by Lou DeVuono since 2009 after he witnessed a repatriation ceremony along the Highway of Heroes, the ride now regularly attracts 2,000 motorcyclists or more to the annual event and the ride has raised approximately $180,000 by collecting voluntary donations for chosen charities such as Wounded Warriors, the Tony Stacey Centre for Veterans Care as well as Toronto and Trenton Military Family Resource centres. DeVuono led the eighth annual ride again this year, but he carried one of two Silver Cross mothers on the back of his bike this year for her first ride on a motorcycle – Anna Loveman, of Port Hope, whose son, Kyle Sinclair, was killed in a training accident in Petawawa in 2014. The other Silver Cross mother was Jihan Falah, of Petewawa, whose son Trooper Marc Diab, was killed
D A E R P S E
in 2009, the 112th Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan. For DeVuono, the reason for the annual ride is simply stated. “It is to demonstrate our support for the men and women of our CAF who support our country,” he said just prior to the departure of the motorcycles. “It gives us a chance to demonstrate our gratitude for the sacrifices of these young men and women serving our country.” This ride has grown to become Canada’s largest premier “Support Our Troops” event, according to the Heroes Highway Ride and Rally Association, a not-for-profit Ontario Corporation which oversees the organizing of the event while sharing the management of the HHR with their hosts, the Canadian Army Veterans (CAV) Motorcycle Club. During the time riders were congregated at the museum and RCAF Arena parking lot, they had the opportunity to enter the air park and take photos with their bike for a small donation to the NCFMC NAFMC in the amount of $10.

426 Transport Training Squadron’s Master Warrant Officer John Nichols, oversaw the event from a military standpoint and was impressed with the number of bikes taking part. “It was a resounding success from the 8 Wing point of departure, pend-
ing a positive ride to Port Hope,” he said after the event. He said there was great support from the OPP and firefighters, who parked in the lemon lot across from the north gate and gave departing motorcyclists a rousing sendoff.

Four-legged, four-wheeled beasts against cancer at Pullin’ for a Cure By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Bonny Tanner would have loved this one. Hundreds of people packed the grandstand at the Quinte Exhibition & Raceway on Saturday, June 4 to watch horses and tractors pull large weights with all their might. Opposite the grandstand, on the other side of the track, dozens more people watched casually from pickup trucks, enjoying the show with friends and family until the sun set over the west-end Belleville sky. It was all for a good cause too, as proceeds from the $10 admission went to support the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope program. Pullin’ for a Cure was launched four years ago to honour Bonny Tanner, the mother of a Foxboro family who loved tractor and horse pulls and could often be found at such shows at area fall fairs. “If she was here she’d have a big smile on her face,” said Bonny’s daughter, Tandie Tanner. She added that the family-friendly nature of horse or tractor pulls is what attracted her mother to the events. “It’s something that families can do together,” Tandie said. Bonny died after a battle with brain cancer on March 13, 2011 in her 57th year. Not long after her death, family members and friends worked to set up the Pullin’ for a Cure event. In its first year, the event raised
money for research into brain cancer. In the second year, the program was set up to ensure all moneys raised would stay in the community. This year, organizers decided to have proceeds go to the Wheels of Hope, a program that allows volunteers to drive cancer patients to doctor’s appointments, often out of town. This program ensures patients don’t have the burden of losing money on transportation costs on top of their already stressful ordeals. Tandie said her family was happy to have an opportunity to contribute to Wheels for Hope this year, as she said it’s important to do “anything that makes it easier for families.” She said the time following her mother’s diagnosis was stressful and it now seems like a blur. So she appreciates how families battling cancer can really benefit from Wheels of Hope. At 6 p.m., shortly before 5,500-pound tractors were put to the test, an opening ceremony was held where two local cancer-surviving children were honoured. Carson McKenna was given an opportunity to ride a modified highway tractor. And moments later Carly Land, with help from Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith, released yellow balloons into the air, to signal the start of another important cancer fundraising event.
Amy Doyle, the director of the reminded guests that funds raised CCS’s Hastings-Prince Edward for cancer programs makes a huge County and Brighton Community difference. Office, took the microphone and She said today the survival rate
for a child battling cancer is now 82 per cent, up significantly from the 1980s, when cancer fundraising took off.

The Good Earth:
Alternate hosts and rust
Dan Clost Rusts (there are quite a few of them) are caused be specific fungi (mostly Puccinia) with the adult or completed stage appearing quite similar: orange, brown or yellow “dust” on the leaves,
usually the underside, of infected plants. In the ornamental garden, rusts may be unsightly but seldom do they cause the death of the infected plant. Perhaps one of the most common is Hollyhock Rust caused by Puccinia malvacaerum. The lower leaves are usually the first to be covered by orange spots with the higher leaves being affected subsequently. Fungicides are not available to us home gardeners so cleanliness is the best management method. Leaves should be disposed of in the garbage not the compost pile; winter cleanup should include removal of all second year plants and all leafy material from first year plants. Some folks will place a relatively tall, 2-3’, perennial in front of their malva to hide the onset of rust. By the way, this fungal chappie will visit other members of the malva clan including hibiscus, tree and rose mallows
(Lavatera), and Prairie mallows (Sidalcea) so don’t neglect them in your cleanup. One of the fascinating aspects of rusts is that they don’t always hang around on just one plant; some of them like to visit other flora in the neighbourhood while they go through a certain phase of their life cycle. The “other plant” is called the alternate host. You might think grass rust would stick with other grasses, apple rust would stick with other apples etc. but that’s not always the case. In our apple growing area of the Quinte region, cedar-apple rust is well-known. We have all seen it on the apple trees as well as on serviceberry, hawthorn, quince and a few other Rose family members. Each is a different fungus but the common factor is that Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) is the alternate host. We’ll usually notice it when we see drippy gobs of orange gelatinous goop “drip-
ping” from a juniper branch or in the palms of your ten-year old who has brought in something really cool to show you. There’s really not much you can do except to look for the galls on the juniper before they maturity into the gloopy mess and cut them out. If you live near an apple orchard perhaps a good-neighbour thing to do would be to choose a different, non-host juniper for your landscape. Again, the good news is that the tree will seldom die and cleanliness will greatly reduce the likeliness of infection in following years. A lesser known fungus with an alternate host is Cronartium ribicola and the rust actually has two names. If you’re growing a commercial crop of berries it is Currant rust and if you have a forest of Eastern White Pines (Pinus strobus) it is White Pine Blister Rust. Both plants are commonly found
as ornamentals in the landscape or as a non-commercial food source, e.g. gooseberry. And that is the problem, Gentle Reader. Which plant has the most value? What if I have currants and gooseberries (and I do) in my garden as an integral successive small fruit plan and my neighbour plants a pine tree? If the pathogen blows in on the breeze and sets up house on one of our properties, how would we resolve the issue? If I’m pine tree person, I might offer to replace the ribes with an alternative fruiting bush and supply my neighbour with currants until the new plant is producing. However, Ribes alpinum is a popular hedge plant because it performs well in sun and shade. A possible scenario now pits several hundred feet of hedge against a number of pine trees of equal value – which one gets removed? Btw, bring in a properly certified arborist to identify the pathogen.

Leverage the private sector to put patients first, chambers of commerce say
The Bay of Quinte Chambers of Commerce in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, have released a new report, Prescription for Partnership, which points to the need for health care stakeholders, both public and private, to put patients first. This report takes a closer look at the role commissioning can play in re-orienting a system that too often operates in response to budgetary pressure, the chambers say. Commissioning allows public and private sector perspectives to
be in conversation much earlier in the decision-making process. The chambers cite commissioning as a way of focusing our system on outcomes for patients rather than inputs from providers. The report suggests, this kind of collaboration is a key enabler of innovations in access, quality, and cost. “The provincial government needs to work with the private sector in order to meet its goal of putting patients first,” said Suzanne Andrews, general manager of the Quinte West Chamber
of Commerce. “We need the public and private sectors to problem-solve together and leverage one another’s expertise throughout the decision making process.” Belleville Chamber CEO Bill Saunders added, “we are all well aware of health care concerns in our region. This approach will ensure that collaborative, well thought out solutions can be found to ensure the appropriate level of patient care.” The private sector has long been an active participant in Ontario’s
health care system. In fact, the level of private sector involvement in Canadian health care is slightly above the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) average – 12th highest overall, and greater than 22 other countries in the OECD. However, the current relationship between the public sector and private health vendors (both for-profit and non-profit) lacks a co-operative structure and culture. “Today, the public sector is largely

From the hamlet of Cooper to a world gold medal By Diane Sherman Madoc - Jordan Graham anticipates the day Muaythai becomes an Olympic sport, and hopes to qualify for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) status. He just took the world gold in Sweden, May 28 in a final round against Mexico. As a member of Muaythai Canada, a team of 21, Jordan competed in the 63.5 kilogram weight class and his team earned two silver and five bronze medals. He is slight of build, but quick and powerful with his feet, hands, knees and elbows as required for the ancient sport of mauaythai, translated “boxing of Thailand.”
“It is known as the Art of Eight Limbs,” Jordan explained at his grandmother’s home in Madoc on June 4. The sport continues to grow worldwide through the International Federation of Muaythai Amateur (IFMA) with 130 member countries. Patronage of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) since 2008 has raised its profile as a potential Olympic sport. Jordan wants to represent Canada. He is a Cooper native, (north of Madoc), born to Mark and Tammy Graham 21 years ago. His early days were spent here until his family moved to Belleville after Grade 9. His teacher at Centennial Secondary School practiced martial arts and Muaythai.
“I played hockey with the Grizzlies when I was younger, but decided there wasn’t a future in that for me. I needed another sport.” When he found martial arts, he found his passion. His parents, sister and companion Carly Rutter went with him to Sweden. Travel expenses were not covered, so they had to save for the trip.
He also competes in mixed martial arts with a 5-0 record and stands at 33 wins and six losses in Muaythai. He started competing in 2013, while training at Loyalist Martial Arts Academy in Belleville, and has since fought in Thailand, Malaysia, Italy, Panama, USA, Canada and now Sweden. Tammy says he has long days,
working at his own business, Graham Utility Hydro Vac, then spends three hours training. Jordan is classified as amateur. He says when the IOC acknowledges Muaythai as an Olympic sport, he will be ready. See Team Canada on Facebook at Muaythai Canada or research the sport at muaythaicanada.org.
Jordan Graham took gold in the IFMA world finals in Sweden on May 28. Jordan along with parents Mark and Tammy met at grandmother Linda (Graham) Lavallee’s house, June 4, before heading up to Cooper for a family gathering. Photo by Diane Sherman

Stirling firefighters raise money for Alberta fire victims By Terry McNamee Stirling - Despite rainy weather, local firefighters were out in force recently to help victims of the forest fire that forced the complete evacuation of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Many of the members of the StirlingRawdon Fire Service spent part of Saturday, May 14, stopping traffic and asking people to donate to their Boot Drive. Most of those who stopped were happy to hand over spare change or even $5 and $10 bills for the cause. “We had a good turnout from our department,” said Fire Chief Derrick Little. “The guys really support this event.” Prior to the rain that day, the fire risk in this area had been at the highest level, making firefighters especially aware of the dangers faced out west. “It really hit home with a lot of us because of the amount of grass brush fires we had this season and the amount of resources and effort that is required to fight them,” the chief said. “We can‘t imagine what the residents of Fort Mac and all the men and women firefighters and emergency services have gone through in an almost unbelievable disaster, and the magnitude and scale of that fire and the tireless hours that they have endured over the past few weeks and weeks to come. Our hearts go out to them.” The Boot Drive raised $3,000 and has Stirling-Rawdon firefighters and some young volunteers held a Boot Drive in Stirling on Saturday, May 14, to raise money for the Red Cross Fort McMurray Relief Fund. Among them were, from left, Derrick been donated to the Red Cross Fort Mc- Morgan, Deputy Chief Bruce Farquhar and Matt Faulkner, with 8-year-old twins Ethan and Noah Morgan. Murray Relief Fund.

Belleville - A 51-year-old Madoc man, Darryll Slain, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and making child pornography available. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail after appearing in a Belleville court last week. Slain also pleaded guilty to one count of careless storage of a firearm. Slain was charged in 2015 after Sgt. Brian McDermott, of the OPP’s Child Sexual Exploitation Unit, tracked child pornography images to two IP addresses through two separate service providers to Slain’s home.
During their investigation, police found four guns in Slain’s home, one of which was unsecured. He was given a five-year weapon prohibition, a 10-year order to not go to parks, playgrounds, schools, not be in a position of trust or authority to anyone under 16-years-old and to have no Internet access except as may be required for employment. He will be also be listed on the sexual offender registry and was ordered to provide a DNA sample plus forfeit all items previously seized.

More than 1,200 charges laid in road safety campaign By Terry McNamee Stirling – Police across Hastings and Prince Edward counties stepped up traffic enforcement from May 17-23 for Canada Road Safety Week, resulting in 1,288 charges being laid against area drivers. Stirling-Rawdon Police Service Constable Scott Preston, spokesperson for the Quinte Region Media Traffic Coalition, said that 1,031 charges were for speeding and 51 involved seat belt violations. Other offenses included 43 charges for distracted driving, 12 for stunt driving and nine for impaired driving. The remaining 142 charges were for a variety of other Highway Traffic Act offenses. Preston said that, while the campaign is over,
the QRTC will continue to focus on the violations that are the major contributors to death and injury on Canada’s roads: speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving and improper or non-use of seat belts. “Most of the deaths and injuries that occur on our roadways are preventable,” Preston said. “We’re asking the public to choose safe behaviours while travelling on our roadways.” The Quinte Region Traffic Coalition (QRTC) is a partnership of Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, Belleville Police Service, Stirling-Rawdon Police Service, 21 Military Police Flight, Napanee Highway Safety Division and the Bancroft, Central Hastings, Napanee, Prince Edward County and Quinte West OPP detachments.
Sneezy Waters plays the Old Church June 18 The legendary performer and actor ‘Sneezy’ Waters is bringing his music to Quinte West’s Old Church Theatre, at 940 Bonisteel Rd. on June 18. Waters is probably best known for his live presentation in the title role in “Hank Williams: the Show He Never Gave,” premiering in 1977. After 300 live performances from 1977 to 1990, through Canada and the US as well as Europe, Sneezy was chosen for the movie adaptation of the same name. By all accounts it was a runaway hit and was nominated for best film at the 19th annual Academy of Country Music awards. (Robert Duval’s ‘Tender Mercies’ won). Sneezy
won the best actor award for the role at the international film festival in Grenoble, France. His musical credentials span more than 40 years and he has shared the stage with Bruce Cockburn, Joan Armatrading, Martin Mull, John Hammond Jr. and Roy Orbison. He has been featured on innumerable television and radio shows over the years. He plays all kinds of original folk and country music and will be appearing at the Old Church Theatre with well known Ottawa virtuoso guitarist Vince Halfhide. Reservations are required and tickets can be purchased on the website www. oldchurchtheatre.ca

Future of Madoc arena: costs versus puck passion By Diane Sherman Eldorado – Rarely does anyone attend Madoc Township council meetings, but it was obvious debates over the local arena have changed that. Karen Bailey, from the Bruce Lee House League hockey program and John Oke, president of the Centre Hastings Minor Hockey Association, appeared as delegations to council June 1. Executive members of both leagues attended, along with parents and young players. Retired pro players Steve Bancroft and Shawn Antoski talked with George Eastman, manager of the Bancroft arena, in the parking lot afterwards about the costs of arena operations. Bancroft thanked Eastman for “coming down.” The contingent of supporters gathered outside applauded Karen Bailey when she came out of the building. The bottom line of both Bailey’s and Oke’s address to council was stated by John Oke. “Our recommendation is to open communications with us [arena users]. We will work with you to keep the arena open.”
Bailey came prepared with financial comparisons, questioning where the township is using $181,294 budgeted for recreation this year, and why they cannot pull the $185,000 Centre Hastings is asking for from their $1.1 million reserve fund to avoid litigation. “Those who use the arena should have something to say. We can help find a solution. We should have been consulted.” Oke expressed concerns for the physical, social and mental health of young people, a primary concern with both delegations. That concern was also expressed in letters to council from Kent Howard, Matt MaCoy and Theresa BaileyDostalor. Reeve Bob Sager told Bailey, “We don’t want to close the arena, but we can’t keep up with the costs.” Deputy-Reeve Tom Bruce noted a quarter of a million was spent last year. “We have no control. The costs are scary.” Councillor Loyde Blackburn stated all municipalities need a significant reserve fund for emergencies, and fielded questions about former agreements. Sager said he and Mayor Tom Deline had had a conversation, and

Kiwanis chicken BBQ lights up west-end Belleville By Stephen Petrick Belleville – Mmmmm … chicken. Members of the Belleville Kiwanis Club are responsible for people in the west end saying that on at least one spring day every year. The annual Kiwanis BBQ Chicken event returned on Wednesday, June 1. Kiwanis members, with help from volunteers and several businesses, cooked about 1,730 birds over a large pit outside the Quinte Curling Club on Bridge Street West. The massive BBQ, a tradition that’s taken place for 36 years, sends smoke into the air and the smell often wafts through the west end, leading to great sales. “Everyone loves the taste of barbecue chicken,” said Jeff Tureski, president of the club. People who paid $12 in advance got a half chicken with a baked potato and salad. The cost was $15 at the door. Tureski said the event is the Kiwanis Club’s biggest fundraiser of the year. He was expecting the barbecue to raise about $13,500 this year – money the club will use on community programs, particularly programs that impact youth. The club has had talks about supporting a new mountain bike park being planned for West Riverside Park, Tureski said, so the funds may impact that project. Tureski said the chicken barbecue is a great event because it’s outdoors Cody Rizzo (right) and Jordan Wilson turn over chicken that was grilling on and it gives the club exposure, as it a pit outside the Quinte Curling Club on Wednesday, June 1. It was the Kihopes to bring in new members. wanis Club’s annual BBQ Chicken event. Photo by Stephen Petrick

Westben hospitality co-ordinator honoured for her years of service By John Campbell Campbellford – How’s this for gratitude: After serving 16 years as volunteer hospitality coordinator for Westben Festival Arts Theatre, Katherine Cochrane was given the boot by the theatre’s co-founder Brian Finley . In front of her fellow volunteers. To Cochrane’s delight. Finley’s gag gift, a container for holding flowers, was his humourous way of thanking her for all the work she did organizing meals for the many artists who come from around the world to perform at The Barn every summer. “It‘s amazing what this woman has done,” he said. Dubbed “the queen of the Westben kitchen” and “a force to be reckoned with” by Sandy Robertson, one of the theatre‘s two volunteer co-ordinators, Cochrane thanked Finley and his wife Donna Bennett for giving her the opportunity to be part of a “wonderful, warm, loving, zany group of people.” It‘s been “a fun ride” and the community “has been enriched” by the couple‘s realization of their shared dream to provide “the finest entertainment around,” she added. Cochrane, who‘s 74, said she “will continue to volunteer with whatever,” but no longer as hospitality co-ordinator which she explained in an interview was “getting to be too much” for her to
handle any longer. Robertson said Cochrane co-ordinated the servers and cooks who provided the food along with her, and she helped planned the menu. “Katherine never lost her cool, she always dealt with everything with grace and good humour, she was a stalwart,” she said. Cochrane, who also performed in productions, said being in charge of a collective effort to feed small and large groups of artists “was always a challenge but [she] just loved doing it.” “I‘m sorry I can‘t do it anymore,” she said. “I‘ve had some health issues that popped up, so I wouldn‘t have been able to do it this year anyway.” Cochrane was one of 30 volunteers honoured for their years of service at a special reception held at the Clock Tower Cultural Centre, with Marilyn Keene having contributed the most over the years, 3,000 hours. “We couldn‘t survive without the volunteers,” Bennett said. “It wouldn‘t work financially,” if the theatre couldn‘t rely on people to provide the manpower it needs, at no cost to the non-profit organization. Their duties include serving as ushers, taking tickets, catering, looking after parking, giving out programs, working backstage, handling sound and lighting, and cleaning The Barn. Bennett said Westben has 250 volunteers on its list, with 15 to 20 working each concert. “It‘s like a family,” she said.
Katherine Cochrane took getting the boot as Westben’s hospitality co-ordinator rather well, breaking out in laughter, as theatre co-founder Brian Finley hoped she would. “I‘ve just so much enjoyed my relationship here with all these wonderful people,” Cochrane said afterwards. “Everybody is just terrific,” and Finley and his wife, Donna Bennett, are “really the nicest people.” Photo by John Campbell

Hastings Historical Society visits the Marble Arts Centre
Actinolite – Bonnie Marentette, a board member of the Tweed and Area Arts Council, served as tour guide when the Hastings County Historical Society visited the Marble Arts Centre in Actinolite this month. Led by Bill Hunt, coorganizer of the bus tour, about 50 passengers disembarked from a highway coach to enter the former church, now an arts centre and theatre operated by TAAC. This is the first year the Historical Society has visited the MAC, said Marentette. Tour members are not necessarily members of the historical society, Marentette explains, “just anyone who wanted to buy a ticket to be on the bus. “They called us, asked could they do a tour and we said ‘of course, what better way to sell the building and promote what we’re doing here?’” The Marble Church has a long and interesting history and is unique in being the only church in Canada built of white marble, quarried
several hundred feet away to the north-east. “The community hall [across the road] which originally was one of the schools, is also from the same marble,” Marentette reported. “The church was built between 1864 and 1866,” noted Marentette. The church burned down on May 24, 1869, along with the majority of Bridgewater, as Actinolite was then known. At the time of the fire most of the town’s residents were in Madoc celebrating Queen Victoria’s birthday. Today the interior of the MAC has been fitted with comfortable theatre seating, air conditioning, a sound system and a proscenium stage which has seen numerous performances. Warming to the opportunity to share her enthusiasm for the Marble Church with a crowd, Marentette remarked, “I’ll tell them come on in, get comfortable, then I’ll do my little spiel and then I’ll tell them Bonnie Marentette, a board member of the Tweed and Area Arts Council, addresses a tour sponsored by the Hastings County Historical Society at the there’s washrooms out back and Marble Arts Centre. Built as a church between 1864 and 1866, the ‘Marble Church’ is believed to be the only church in Canada built of white marble. feel free to ring the bell and sign the Photo by Brett Mann guest book when they’re leaving.”

Belleville Theatre Guild captures the magic of “The Music Man” By Terry McNamee Belleville—If you have a couple of hours to spare in the next week or two, here’s a great way to spend it: see the Belleville Theatre Guild’s production of “The Music Man”. In a word, it is delightful. The musical tells the story of a film-flam man who calls himself Professor Harold Hill coming to a dusty little town in Iowa in 1912, hoping to fleece the residents out of their cash by telling them that their town is in trouble. He persuades them that the only way to save their boys from — gasp! —playing pool (which, he says, will lead them into gambling, smoking and who knows what other evils) is to create a boys’ band. And he is just the one to arrange for that to happen. In no time, townsfolk are signing up to buy instruments, uniforms and instruction books for their sons, while Hill plans a quick exit as soon as those items arrive. But Marian the Librarian sees through him, and does everything she can to thwart him. Needless to say, things do not go as planned for either of them, but the journey is marked by some of the most memorable songs ever written for a Broadway play — ‘Til There Was You, Gary Indiana, (Ya Got) Trouble and, of course, SeventySix Trombones. When dealing with Meredith Willson’s beloved musical, casting absolutely crucial, and the BTG
got it perfect with every role, with a cast ranging in age from 8 to 80-something. Prof. Hill is played to perfection by Timothy Fransky, who manages to show the innate good inside the character of a sneaky travelling salesman. Sally McCrae as Marian Paroo the librarian is the best singer in the show, and fearlessly takes on the signature songs made famous by actress Shirley Jones. Fransky and McCrae play off each other marvelously well, especially in the “Marian the Librarian” scene with the town’s teenagers aiding and abetting Hill’s courtship of Marian. Special mention must go to the two youngsters portraying Winthrop, Marian’s little brother. Kael Mestre and Max Archer share the role. Archer performed as Winthrop on opening night, and did a great job, especially in his big number of Gary, Indiana, while Dallin Whitford was wonderful as Tommy Djilas, the town’s “bad boy”. As for the rest of the cast of 40, from the town’s children to the ladies to the barbershop quartet, from the pit band to all the people behind the scenes, there is simply no weak link in this production. The Music Man, produced by Liz Marshall and directed by David Kidd, runs until June 18 at the Pinnacle Playhouse, 256 Pinnacle St., Belleville. For tickets or to subscribe, call the box office at 613-967-1442 or go to www.bellevillettheatreguild.ca

New director of Poverty Roundtable has wealth of experience By Stephen Petrick Belleville – A woman hired to lead the fight against poverty in the region has an incredible resume, with experience working on social projects in Europe and Africa. Christine Durant is the new director of the Hastings Prince Edward Poverty Roundtable. Durant will lead an initiative to address poverty by building on collaborations between various social agencies across the two counties. The new initiative “Creating Communities” is a three-year project funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The Poverty Roundtable (PRT) was established in 2013 to see what could be done, or done differently to address poverty in our region. Members of the roundtable meet regularly throughout the year and at the last meeting, on Wednesday, June 1 at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre, Durant was
introduced to the group. “I’m glad to come home … to work on sustainable change,” said Durant, who was born and raised in the Quinte region. Details of Durant’s working past were revealed to the group. She has more than 20 years of experience working as an educator, community organizer and development consultant in Canada, Germany, and Malawi and holds a Masters in adult education with specialization in community development. There are currently nearly 180 organizations and individuals across Hastings and Prince Edward counties committed to working with the PRT to reduce poverty. New members are always welcome. More information about the Roundtable can be found on our website: www.povertyroundtablehpe.ca . Durant’s office will be located out of the Community Development Council of Quinte’s location at 65 Station St., Belleville.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Get ready for the Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk
Dear Editor My name is Lisa McAuley. My Mother Gaetane Harvey passed away on January 30, 2006 after a brief but hard fought battle against breast cancer. Her passing fuelled my passion to fundraise. And after many years of participating in various events I decided to create my own event in memory of my Mom. The Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk is a 53km walk throughout the streets of Belleville over the course of two days. This year’s walk will take place on the 24th and 25th of September. We will walk 1 kilometre for each year this earth was blessed with my mother’s love, laughter and kindness. The goal is to raise $15,000 for the Belleville General Hospital Foundation’s Cancer Care Campaign. But the walk isn’t just about her, as walkers register they bring their own stories; of loved ones lost, people in the midst of fighting this terrible disease and the joys of knowing a cancer survivor. The walk has become so much more and although my mom’s memory is at the heart of it, it has bloomed into something bigger. It is about a community of people coming together, strangers becoming friends, feet on pavement, kilometers logged, funds raised and making a difference no matter how big or small. When I began planning and organizing the first B4
Section B - Thursday, June 9, 2016
ever Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk I thought it would be my sisters and I walking alongside a few friends. But it just naturally grew on its own. Last year was our first year and we had 14 walkers registered. Together we raised close to $9,000. This year I would love to have 30 to 40 walkers! Registration will close at the end of June or when I reach 40 walkers. I need your help! I need to get the Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk noticed to get the word out to our community. Please help me spread the news about this 53km journey. And as I said to last years walkers, 53 km is no easy feat ... fighting cancer never is. So, take it one step at a time, one donation at a time and know that you are making a difference. People can register at bghf.ca (we are under the events section), they can also email me at geesgirls@hotmail.com for more information or like our Facebook page. Details on the routes will be made public later on. Thank you so much for your time, I look forward to hearing how you can help make the Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk a huge success for 2016.

the real ‘star’ of this park, of course, for it’s the highest peak in North America (at 20,237 feet/6,168 m above sea level). It can even be argued that it’s the tallest vertical rise of any mountain peak in the world, for it begins much closer to sea level at its base than such higher mountains as Mount Everest. Mount Denali’s base to peak rise is about 18,000 feet/5,500 metres. I saw that it actually has two significant summits, with the South Summit being its highest. I also learned that Fly Denali often assists avid mountain climbers, trekkers, and sky divers by getting them to the Kahiltna Base Camp in the Alaska Range, in preparation for their particular extreme sport/endeavour. I previously stated that there was yet another top event on my particular flight, and that was, of course, the spectacular glacier landing itself! Just imagine the thrill of suddenly descending amid all those mountain peaks, after having just seen the highest mountain peak of all, and then having the powerful de Havilland
Turbine Beaver ski plane suddenly land and skid to a stop on a field of ice and snow. What a sled ride! We passengers then emerged from the plane and began to explore on foot. One individual even decided to make and throw a snowball! Most of us just stood in awe, breathed in the cool, fresh air, snapped a plethora of photos, and marvelled at the stunning scenery that surrounded us! We’d stepped into the Ice Age! We soon enough had to re-board the plane and return to the airport in Healy. Jim then drove me back to my accommodations, and we talked along the way. I learned that when the weather cooperates, there are scheduled flights at 8:30 a.m., noon, 3:15 p.m., and 6:15 p.m. I also learned that this extraordinary glacier landing adventure trek in Denali is said to be a “once in a lifetime experience” that this company offers on a daily basis: “We do once-in-a-lifetime every day.” For More Information: www.flydenali.com; phone: 1-877-770-2359.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Guilty until proven innocent? Dear Mr. Malette: I just finished reading your editorial about “online creeps” needing outing, and I must say that I am disappointed with your writing. I usually like your writing very much, but it is unworthy of you and of the Belleville News to use the language you used. Please don’t misunderstand - I believe that people arrested for child porn charges should be publicly named as much as you do. But I also
believe that they, like every other person arrested and charged with a crime, are innocent until proven guilty. Your sentence “... that snared so many online child porn creeps - sorry, alleged child porn creeps”, is playing word games at its worst. Your “guilty-until-proven-innocent” attitude has lost you some of my respect. Stephen Kirby Belleville
