Brighton – Council could have some tough decisions ahead regarding two applications for condominiums to be built in town, following a large turnout at Monday night’s planning meeting. A number of residents took to the podium at Monday’s meeting to voice their opinions and concerns about condos in their neighbourhoods and at times, residents were lined up out the door of the council chambers. Some say they’re looking forward to potentially downsizing and the notion of a close-to-town condo. Others “love the idea” of condos as an option for housing, saying such developments are needed and would be an asset to the community, but more than a few are worried over proposed locations and that such developments will “spoil” their neighbourhoods. Both the proposed ‘Proctor Park Condominiums’ on Young Street and the Stalwood Homes condos at the southwest corner of Main Street and Empire Boulevard have mostly single detached dwellings surrounding the areas. Council heard Monday from several residents who said a two-to-three storey structure next door or essentially in the middle of the neighbourhood is cause for concern. “The fact that the apartment is 48-feet only, from the back of our house…the impact it would have, it’s unbelievable – it’s just so close,” said Mary Gibb, a resident of North

Resident Mary Gibb addresses council on Monday, June 12. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland
Drive, about the proposed Proctor Park condos. Mary and Owen Gibb worry if the condominium is constructed, they’ll essentially be forced to look at a 40foot high “wall” from their home. The Gibbs alongside others expressed worries Monday ranging from drainage issues in the area, to concerns over property values, traffic, parking
and safety on an “already narrow, busy road,” without a sidewalk on the one side to the west. (The developments would also be on the west side). Residents in the proposed Stalwood Homes condo area expressed similar and extensive concerns “with too much traffic” already, saying speeding and primarily one accessand-exit point for the neighbour-
hoods continue to be issues. Residents’ comments were recorded for the planning record Monday and will be incorporated in staff’s analysis moving forward, as staff goes through the planning process and prepare reports for council’s decisions. continued on page 3

Northumberland County — Residents wanting to dispose of items and materials damaged by widespread flooding in recent weeks will receive a 50 per cent rebate on tipping fees from the county. The rebate for their disposal at the Brighton Landfill, the Bewdley Transfer Station or the Seymour Transfer Station will be offered until Aug. 31. The municipality of Brighton, where residents at Gosport, in particular, have experienced flooding as a result of record water levels in Lake Ontario, made the request for assistance a few weeks ago. The county agreed, having provided financial relief in the past to “individuals who have been impacted by what we could consider acts of God or natural disaster,” said Adam McCue, manager of environmental and technical services. He cited damages caused by ice storms. “This is waste that has been generated (as a result of) circumstances beyond their control.” Flooding has occurred elsewhere in the county, including the beach at Cobourg, but residents in Brighton seem to be “the hardest hit,” McCue said. Residents must complete and submit an application and attach copies of weigh-scale receipts. County staff might request proof

of flood damage as part of the application process. The application form can be obtained by visiting www.NorthumberlandCounty.ca/forms, emailing Northumberland's waste department at WasteDeprt@northumberlandcounty.ca, or calling 1-866293-8379. Although insurance for “overland flooding in Ontario” has been available since 2013, “we're of the opinion the majority of the affected property owners likely don't have insurance that covers floodrelated damage,” McCue said. “We're not asking you to provide proof one way or the other that you had insurance.” The materials for disposal are likely to include drywall and carpets in basements that have been flooded. Residents will be reimbursed half of the cost of their disposal after their application has been reviewed and accepted by the county. The rebates are being available retroactively. In the event applicants are unable to provide a copy of the weigh scale receipt, they can contact the county. “If you give us your licence plate number, we can go back into our system and find out what day you came and what weight of material you brought and what you would have paid,” McCue said. “We've estimated that it will be a cost of less than $5,000 (for the program overall).”

Residents speak up over proposed condominium developments Planning, building and community development staff will report back to council when input from the public, commenting agencies and departments has been received and assessed. A closer look at condominiums proposed in Brighton The proposed Proctor Park Condominiums: • Speaking on behalf on the ‘Proctor Park condos’ Monday were: Shawn Legere, an urban designer/planner from RFA Planning Consultant Inc., Reno Piccini from Piccini Architect, Steve Harvey and Bryan Keene from G.D. Jewell Engineering Inc. • Application includes the requests for an official plan amendment and zoning bylaw amendment for 62 and 74 Young St. • Proposed development is on the west side of the street and includes a three-storey, 14unit apartment-style building and a four-unit townhouse building which means a total of 18 residential dwelling units, accessed from Young Street. (39-40-feet high structure). • Mostly single detached dwellings surround the area, alongside Proctor Park and the conservation area. • A concept plan for the development, planning justification, engineering servicing, stormwater management, environmental impact study and traffic impact study reports have been filed to date. Documents are available for review at the public works building at 67 Sharp Rd. (Test pit investigations also reportedly recently completed). • The development will take on a more classic architectural look related to Proctor Park and pays tribute to the park. • Legere reports a neighbourhood information meeting held in May was “well received,”
• Further studies will continue to evaluand the need for condo housing was identified as ate the site, as will work with residents to address something “wanted” and lacking in the area. • The water table for the area is “high” any concerns, said Rose. so the recommendation is to keep basements out of the ground. Existing tree canopies would reportedly help address some residents’ concerns. Legere says work will continue to try and relieve any residents’ worries. Glass & Windows Ltd.

For clarification, no decision of council was made at the meeting regarding either development. Council has received applications for both proposals as “information only” for the time being and in accordance with the Planning Act. Some councillors with this said, still refused to receive applications as information even and despite warnings from staff and Councillor Brian Ostrander that the decision not to receive the applications could open the door for another Ontario Municipal Board appeal. John Martinello was the sole councillor who voted not to receive the application for the Proctor Park Condominiums Monday, saying he had to object without an updated stormwater master plan in place for the municipality. Ostrander, Councillor Mary Tadman and Deputy Mayor Laura Vink voted to receive the application. Mayor Mark Walas and councillors Steven Baker and Roger McMurray all declared a conflict of interest regarding the development. Walas declared as “a principal and shareholder” for the numbered company proposing the condos and Baker, because he lives in close proximity of the proposed development. McMurray also chose to declare as he has relatives living in close proximity. As for the Main Street and Empire Boulevard condos, Martinello, Baker and McMurray each voted against receiving the application. Martinello voted again, stressing he wanted an updated stormwater master plan. Baker said he wouldn’t condemn neighbouring properties to “a future of darkness,” and would support residents advocating for their neighbourhood.

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

Archer’s Poultry received $100,000 boost for new tech BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton –Poultry production just got a little more high tech at Archer’s Poultry Farm Limited in Trenton. Archer’s received a $100,000 investment from the Northumberland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC), announced by Neil Ellis, MP for Bay of Quinte. The investment was put towards the total project cost of $200,000 to integrate a state-ofthe-art incubator system in the Trenton facility, to allow Archer’s to expand processing capacity, adapt the latest in operational best practices, technological innovations and output efficiencies. For the past year, Archer’s Poultry have been building a new hatchery in Trenton, re-locating from Brighton and expanding. They decided to add the stateof-the-art incubator system to save energy, said Archer. The system is already in place
and it’s being tested right now with the first set of chicks set to hatch next week, he said. “We received the funding a couple months ago, it was very important, we’re very excited to be working with the government and very happy that they were able to work with us,” said Archer. “This is a new thing be a little greener, trying to cut back on our energy use, so we’re sensing metabolic feedback from the eggs to increase or decrease the energy consumption in the incubators.” The family owned and operated hatchery business has increased capacity at the new facility for future growth, adding the ability to increase production another 40 per cent. If things go well, Archer said they could increase the workforce by an additional 10 people. Overall business is going well, said Archer. All of the chicks they hatch are layer birds destined for the egg market, delivered to egg
producers across Ontario. “Canada as a whole have been eating more eggs, eggs are considered a healthy, cheap protein right now and we’re enjoying the benefit of the growth of more Canadians eating eggs,” he said. Northumberland CFDC is an independent business development organization focused on supporting innovation and entrepreneurship as pathways to economic development and diversification. Working in collaboration with the 14 other CFDCs of Eastern Ontario, Northumberland CFDC is driving the delivery of the CEDP stream of the Eastern Ontario Development Program. “It is highly rewarding to witness the great progress and strides in innovation taking place in Eastern Ontario manufacturing and agriculture industries,” said Ellis. “Today’s announcement will provide Archer’s Poultry with an essential capital investment that will help the company compete in the global marketplace.”
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
All churches in Brighton support this cause Dear Editor, In reference to your recent news item on the grants from the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund, I would just like to add a correction. We are very grateful for the grant of $6,765 for the purchase of a dishwasher for the Supper’s Ready program held at Trinity Saint Andrew’s church. While the suppers are held at this church, the project is the result of the coming together of all the churches in Brighton. Every church has been involved in the endeavour from the very beginning planning stages. Every church
provided seed money for start up and every church provided and continues to provide volunteers for the weekly supper. The project would not have come into being without the input of the many people of every church in Brighton. The suppers have proved very popular and seem to fill a need in our Brighton community. We, the committee for Supper’s Ready, want to be certain that credit is given where credit is due. Supper’s Ready Committee Brighton

OPINION
The Fifty-Year War So Jews started settling throughout the conquered lands with tacit and later open government support, to the utter dismay of the Palestinians who saw their future state disappearing before their eyes, and the Fifty-Year War began. It has mostly been a fairly low-key event, with only dozens or hundreds killed each year, but it is unrivalled in its ability to stymie all attempts at a peaceful settlement. Only three months after the 1967 war ended Amos Oz, later to become one of Israel’s most celebrated writers, wrote: “We are condemned now to rule people who do not want to be ruled by us. I have fears about the kind of seeds we will sow in the near future in the hearts of the occupied. Even more, I have fears about the seed that will be planted in the hearts of the occupiers.” How right he was. The newspaper he wrote that in, Davar, died long ago. The Labour Party it supported, which dominated Israeli politics for the first three decades after independence, is now a mere shadow of its former self. Instead, the political high ground is held by ultra-nationalist, hardright parties that are in thrall to the halfmillion-strong Jewish “settler” population in the occupied Palestinian territories. Most Israelis want to keep these lands, including some extremists who would kill or die to keep them (like Yigal Amir, who in 1995 murdered Yitzhak Rabin, the last Israeli prime minister to enter into serious negotiations with the Palestinians). No Israelis want to include the Palestinians in these territories into Israel as citizens. If they ever did, half the voters in the next election would be Arabs, and Israel would no longer be a “Jewish state”. But they can’t get rid of those Palestinians either without committing a horrendous crime. So they are stuck, and Israeli politics has been paralysed for the past twenty years. The man who has led Israel for more than half that time, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, epitomises that paralysis. He says he wants peace, and no doubt he really does – but he also wants to keep the land, or at least most of it, and his coalition government would collapse if he ever seriously considered giving it back. The great majority of Jewish Israelis, living in “old” Israel within the pre-1967 borders, rarely focus on this question, but they would be just as divided and paralysed if they ever had to answer it. This is not the end of the Fifty-Year War. It may just be the mid-point in the Hundred-Year War.
As Israeli columnist Gideon Levy wrote recently in the daily Haaretz: “In retrospect, it should be called the FiftyYear War, not the Six-Day War. And judging by the political situation, its life appears Gwynne Dyer expectancy endless.” This week (5-10 June) is the 50th anniversary of the brief war in 1967 that added the Old City of Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and the Gaza Strip to the Israeli state, increasing the area ruled by Israel by onethird and the population under its control by more than a third. But the problem was and remains that all that new population was Arabs. Palestinians, to be precise. No Israeli Jew actually wanted all those extra Arabs, but it turned out that quite a few of them did want the extra land. They hadn’t thought about it much before 1967, because ever since the Independence War in 1948 Israelis had seen themselves as a small, beleaguered people at constant risk of being “driven into the sea” by the Arabs. But now they knew that they were strong enough to keep the land if they wanted to. The Arab armies were poorly trained and badly led, and they served governments so incompetent that, despite an overall ten-toone Arab superiority in population, Israeli troops actually outnumbered Arab soldiers on the battlefield in 1967 (and in every subsequent war). Israel emerged from the SixDay War as the dwarf superpower of the Middle East, unbeatable by any combination of Arab states. And the Arabs knew it. That was an intoxicating notion for Israelis, and the new territories actually added to their security by giving them some “strategic depth”. (Before they captured the West Bank, Israel was only 14 km wide at its narrowest point.) Moreover, the West Bank had been part of historic Israel 2,000 years ago, and many Israelis saw it as land sacred to the Jews. There were many in Israel – they were even the majority at various points between 1975 and 1995 – who wanted to make peace with the country’s other Arab neighbours by giving them back the rest of the conquered territories. But most of those lands had been part of historic Israel, and returning them to Arab control would bring back the dangerously close old borders as well.

Intimidation won’t silence local media EDITOR’S NOTE: This editorial has been shared by the Brampton Guardian and is running in all Metroland East newspapers. A group of disgruntled city councillors in Brampton seem to be confusing freedom of the press with freedom from the press. Angry with recent coverage by the local newspaper, some councillors are proposing a motion to scrutinize the media’s questioning of elected officials. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate reporters. The motion calls for all media inquiries to be posted on the city website along with provided responses. Further, councillors want future meeting agendas to include time to respond to media coverage. Meanwhile, at least one member of Brampton council has also taken to Twitter, suggesting the local paper isn’t providing “real news.” If it sounds reminiscent of the antics of President Donald Trump and his staff, that’s because there’s a strong and troubling parallel. This is all in reaction to assertive reporting that is critical of the city’s leadership. Councillors say they have put the press on notice. Such a statement demonstrates a blatant disregard for, or ignorance of, the checks and balances already strongly entrenched in the Canadian media system. Accountability starts with the news outlet itself. Complaints can be made directly to a journalist, editor, or publisher. If the response is unsatisfactory, individuals can contact the press council. The National NewsMedia Council deals with matters concerning fairness of coverage, relevance, balance and accuracy. Its members (including this newspaper) abide by its decisions. It’s a free and open process for the public. When media make a mistake, we own it
very publicly. That’s not something everyone can say. And there is the law. Canada has very strict libel laws. These laws protect the reputation of individuals and organizations from false and derogatory remarks. Media are bound by these laws. There have been no formal complaints made regarding recent coverage of Brampton. Instead, this is about a group of councillors lashing out because they are upset with what strong local reporting has unearthed. Strong, independent reporting on behalf of the public has led to truthful and unflattering accounts of what has been transpiring at city hall. These councillors forget that media are not accountable to elected officials. Media are accountable to the public, the same group whose money these councillors are spending. Claiming to put the press on notice is a poorly disguised attack on the fundamental freedoms laid out in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which includes freedom of the press. Ultimately this is about control. Councillors are trying to stifle critical voices and control our free, independent and responsible media. That’s a scary development. Any attempt by elected officials to limit the free flow of information is an attack on the basic democratic principles our society upholds. It won’t work. Metroland is putting Brampton’s elected officials on notice: Media will not be intimidated by these thinly disguised bullying tactics.

Community Care benefits from Brighton’s 100 Women BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – In just a few hours on a Tuesday evening, local women continue to improve their community. This time, the 100 Women Who Care Brighton chapter is lending a helping hand to the Community Care Northumberland (CCN) Brighton branch. The dedicated group of local ladies looking to make a difference in their community met for their second meeting of the year on Tuesday, June 6 at the Evangel Pentecostal Church, raising $2,750 for the Brighton CCN branch. As of June 6, membership for the group has grown to include 55 local women. “Hopefully it will not be long before we reach our 100 members,” said Priscilla Courtenay, a founding member of the group. The idea behind the 100 women initiative is four meetings take place a year with 100 women gathering to promote positive change in their neighbourhood. Every woman makes a $50 donation at each meeting, where three charities are nominated. Members then put it to a vote as to which group gets the donation. With
The two other organizations nominated recently were the YMCA Brighton Early Years Centre and the Colborne Prospect Missionary Church. Representatives from each group spoke briefly Tuesday evening, prior to the vote. Courtenay is eager the group will grow in numbers before its third meeting, which is slated for Sept. 12. Also in September, a representative from Community Care will speak about the impact of the group’s donation. Similarly at the most recent meeting, Rene Schmidt from the Beacon Youth Centre spoke briefly and “gave a big thank you to the group.” The Beacon was the very first recipient of a grant from the 100 women. VON’s Adult Day Care, Nathan Kelly, who is a cancer patient and will be represented by a charitable organization and the Brighton Children’s Centre are the three groups up for a grant at the next meeting. The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society was also nominated at the latest meeting as a fourth charity and Founders of the 100 Women Who Care Brighton: Keitha Corry, Beverly Young, Rachel Young and Priscilla as a backup.

Bringing back memories; Percy celebrates 50th anniversary BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Warkworth -- Percy Centennial’s semi-centennial went “better than ever we could have imagined, weather-wise, attendance-wise,” says one of the organizers involved in the public school’s 50th anniversary celebrations. “We’re still getting compliments online and in person,” said Cherie Whalen. Around 600 people children and adults turned out for the event held June 3 at the school and arena, where current and former students performed in concert for more than two hours. “We were grateful to the community and everybody who came out to support the 50th, it was wonderful,” Whalen said. “We were quite
happy with the number.” Among those returning was Bruce Gilley, who served as principal at Percy from 1974-78. “It was a wonderful school, it was lovely and clean, the staff were good, the students were excellent and I enjoyed my four years very much,” said Gilley, who retired in 1993 after a 34-year career in education and now lives in Port Hope. It was his first visit to Percy since he attended its 25th anniversary. Whalen said there are still anniversary books and T-shirts available for purchase at $20 apiece at the school or by calling Whalen at 705-8689955. All the proceeds from their sale will go to Percy’s music program.

30 tenants forced out of ‘unstable’ Colborne apartment BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Colborne – Tenants were evacuated from a threestorey building June 9 after its north-west brick wall was found to be structurally “compromised.” One of the tenants “had some concerns” about the exterior brick wall of the building at 29 King St. East and called the Cramahe Fire Department around 9 p.m., Mayor Marc Coombs said. The fire department did a quick investigation and determined the building’s residents should be evacuated immediately. Firefighters were joined at the scene by police and emergency services. Coombs was notified around 10 and he convened the Emergency Operation Centre. “We knew there was going to be an issue with 30 people,” and we wanted to make sure they were safe and had a place where they could stay. Transportation was arranged to the Keeler Centre which served as a reception centre for residents unable to find temporary lodging at the homes of family and friends. They were directed to accommodations at local motels provided by the Red Cross. A portion of the outer face of bricks fell away from the historical three-storey brick building Saturday night. Its ground floor includes businesses as well as apartments. The owner of the building, Rupa Holdings, a Toronto-area company, had a structural engineer visit the site Monday “to assess the structural integrity of the building,” the township said in a news release it issued following a late afternoon meeting of Coombs, CAO Craig Brooks, Fire Chief Brandon Northrup and chief building official Gerald Sproule who had issued an order to remedy an unsafe building.
“We are expecting a preliminary report within a few days. At that point we would expect to know when the remedial work will begin and when the building can be re-occupied.” “It’s an unusual situation certainly,” Coombs said in an interview. “We had a building collapse before, but there were no tenants in it.” Northumberland County activated a staff response team Monday morning to support the tenants. Caseworkers began meeting with individuals in need of support and providing them with supply kits from the Food4All warehouse, as well as assisting them with planning their next steps and accessing available resources. The county “will continue to assess the progress of these efforts to ensure displaced residents have the initial support they need to secure alternate accommodation,” the township release stated. Tenants were encouraged to call 905-372-3329 ext 2456 for further assistance, or the Red Cross, 1-866-317-6544. Evacuees requiring food can also call Glenda Quinn at Colborne’s Prospect Church, 905-2070059, to set up a time to meet with her at the church. Its food bank is normally open the first, third and fourth Sunday of the month. The church is also providing meals to those who need them. Coombs congratulated the fire department for its “quick action” and said he was “very impressed” with the work done by the various community agencies and groups along with Cramahe Township staff. The response was “overwhelming and we certainly appreciated the support,” he stated. “Everybody was fantastic.”

Brighton’s Own: Jennifer Cheer; dawn to dusk, young entrepreneur BY VIC SCHUKOV
Throughout time immemorial the term cornucopia (also called the horn of plenty) has been a symbol of abundant nourishment overflowing with nature’s produce, a gift to us from the land. When you enter the well-known Cheer Farms store on Main Street (Highway 2) in Brighton, the delicious aroma of fresh baked goods and displays of home-made foods delivers that vary sense of abundance. Between just-picked fruits and vegetables, there is a virtual tantalizing assault on the senses of such delights as coconut or chocolate cream pies, butter tarts, cinnamon sugar donuts, and rhubarb muffins. One can only describe the
S
home-baked goodies with exclamation marks at the end! Cheer Farms comes with an equally diverse and rich history of Brighton’s own Cheer family: Henry Cheer, born in Woodstock, came to Brighton in the mid-1850’s, and married Lucinda Victoria Davidson. Their son, Samuel Charles was born in Brighton in 1863, married Alice Maddox Towersey, and toured the vaudeville circuit of New York State and Ontario for many years, before settling to raise a family in his home town. Samuel and Alice and daughter Ruby, and sons Maurice and Ralph performed regularly at the “Old Opera House” on the second floor

Jenn Cheer was born here and attended Brighton Public School and ENSS. She said, “I like the small town. I am a country girl with lots of friends here.” She knew what she wanted to do from the get-go: “I always wanted to work hard after (graduating) high school. This (Cheer Farms) is a go, and going well. I am here full time now, while Mum is part time helping me out. I bake all the goods and also work the fields. I finally told Mum (Loraine) and Dad (Dave), this past winter that wanted to take over when they let me.” Their biggest weekend event has always been Applefest: “We have a 30 foot booth. Thank God I have lots of friends and cousins who help out, and our farmers’ kids still need community hours so they help me out a week before, when I need over 300 pies in the freezer for the event.” The Cheers tend 65 acres behind the roadside store, and another 35 up the road, and the rest off Little Lake Road where they live. Of course, the topic of day is the excessive rainfall this spring: “Our cash crops like soy beans, corn and pumpkins are still late in planting, usually in by now. We have to wait till it dries out.” Meanwhile, she is up by 6 a.m., baking, planting and being a business woman. She goes at it happily from dusk until dawn. Winter is her “time to rest” (relatively speaking.) Cheer spends the season making jams and jellies from frozen fruit, and getting things ready to go for opening the store in May. In the winter, she also attends Farm Fresh Ontario conferences in Niagara, learning new ways to improve the farm’s business. Her motivation? “I like being a boss, but I am a laid back type person. I love to work, making everything ourselves from scratch.” From field to table, truly a cornucopia.

Presqu’ile Provincial Park waiting on Mother Nature’s ruling to reopen BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Mother Nature is still having her way with Brighton’s beloved park. Presqu’ile Provincial Park remains closed as of Monday, June 12 due to flooding and will remain closed until further notice. The park officially closed to the public on Monday, May 29. “It’s sort of been one step forward, one step back lately,” said communications officer for Ontario Parks Alison Lake on Wednesday, June 7. “Since we’re finally getting some sun and with the predicated forecast for sun, we’re hoping the park will start to dry out soon.” While Lake couldn’t confirm an anticipated timeline as for when the park may reopen on June 7, park staff is now saying online it’s hoped a “graduated reopening” over the next couple weeks will be possible starting with day-use at the park and then some campgrounds. Conditions will have to be reevaluated almost on a day-today basis though, report staff. “If predictions that the lake will continue to drop six-to-eight centimetres by July 1 are correct and the dry weather predicted comes, most campsites should be fine for July,” a water level update posting on Presqu’ile’s Facebook site stated. “But we need a lake drop of 30 centimetres to uncover our beach and the Marsh Boardwalk. These may remain unusable until late July, but this is a big guess.” Since the initial closure, the park’s main office is now also slated for replacement due to flooding. “The park’s office is no longer useable…it’s quite the loss,” said Lake. In another online post, it states because of the repeated flooding in the main office basement over the years and this year’s continued water presence, the main office must be replaced. The main office will transfer to a trailer in the parking lot behind the current office.
“Details on public access to the new office and how long we will be in there remain to be sorted out,” the post stated. Two main areas of concern currently are access to the park’s main road and that the campgrounds are quite heavily affected by flooding, said Lake. The decision to close the park was made May 29, following a heavy rainstorm early that morning. Reportedly this combined with recent high water levels was “too much,” forcing the decision to close the park. Anyone at the park was asked to leave. “This was done as a precaution,” said Lake following the immediate closure. Heavy rains have resulted in localized flooding on park roads, campsites, trails and beach areas. It’s hoped the closure will help limit the impacts to the park and also help protect the sensitive habitat. Issues along the shoreline persist due to high winds at times, said Lake. “We lost some water and the water levels went down, but then we’ve had some more rain in the last couple days,” said Lake on June 7. “And the ground, it’s just so saturated – so the water, it just sits on top of it.”
To reach Owen Point currently, it’s reportedly a knee-deep trek. Park staff explains any type of traffic off paved roads causes considerable damage and waves are causing erosion near roads and campsites. There are no issues with the septic fields to date as a result of flooding, though there is a need for some work prior to the park opening again, Lake confirmed. Such work primarily concerns hydro, telephone and other lines buried in the ground. “We want to make sure ev-

erything is in good shape and fixed up…but we want to do the work once and do it properly. We can’t do the work and then two days later, we’re faced with more rain,” said Lake. For now, staff does just kind of have to watch, wait for the floodwaters to recede and let Mother Nature “do her thing,” added Lake. Park visitors are encouraged to continue to check www.ontarioparks.com for updates as staff continues to monitor conditions. All campsite reservation holders impacted are being or
have been contacted and offered a full refund or the option to change their reservation with no penalty. The closure remains in effect to give “the park a good rest,” walk-ins, bikes and vehicles are being kept out as a result and as of Monday, June 12. (This is the Independent’s print deadline). Such restrictions will continue to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. Rain and wind forcing water onto the park will be the big factors to keep an eye on, staff report.

ENSS prom circles the globe in 1 night BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton — Prom night was a worldly affair for East Northumberland Secondary School students June 9. After arriving at the Brighton Curling Club in a procession that included four-wheelers, tractors, trucks, antique cars and boats (towed on a trailer; the area's high waters of recent months never did reach the downtown), hundreds of students made their way inside as if passing through an airport terminal. They were given passports, had their pictures taken and then cleared through customs and security. “It was like you were actually boarding a plane,” said Gemima Pickles, the minister of graduate affairs in the school's student government, and a member of the prom committee that organized the evening, with the help of teachers Liz Payette and Darlene Davidson. “Everybody has loved it,” Pickles said. “They really enjoyed how interactive everything is.” The evening's meal continued the global theme, with an assortment of dishes from various countries prepared by 70 Grade 10 and 11 students taught by culinary teacher Del Menchions.

Fledgling Blue Jays flock to Brighton ball diamond to become better ballplayers BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton – Dozens of young ballplayers showed up Sunday afternoon for a instructional clinic hosted by the Blue Jays Baseball Academy. They were there to work on hitting, throwing, fielding, pitching and base running. The $55 registration cost included a Blue Jays hat, Tshirt and baseball manual. Close to 80 youngsters signed up for the four-hour clinic at King Edward Park, one of 16 that will take place across Southern Ontario during June and July. It marked the fourth time one has been held in Brighton. Academy instructor Andrew Peart and three others led the youngsters through different exercises designed
to improve their infield and outfield mechanics, wrapping up the day with hitting instruction. “What they need to hope to get out of it is basically the main points of each of the skill sets so that when they go to a tryout, a practice or a game that they are doing things the right way,” said Peart, a Grade 6 teacher in Oshawa and long-time instructor. “If we get them when they're young, going forward it makes things a lot easier when they go to play at higher levels and certainly when the pressure is on.” “If you don't learn to throw properly, it's really hard to throw really well at higher level,” he said. Peart played and coached at university, and played
senior ball throughout Ontario. A clinic held that morning in Peterborough was sold out with 170 participants, with some of them from Toronto. “There have been kids who have started with this program and have gone on to elite baseball in Ontario,” Peart said. Brighton resident Adam Metcalf was there with his son Logan and daughter Emily. Both are in their second year in the rookie league made up of Brighton, Warkworth, Wellington and Trenton. “They wanted to get some good practice sessions with the Jays,” he said. His wife is their coach and “she's very happy that we are able to partake.”

Brighton Relay for Life celebrates 10th anniversary BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton — “Cancer patients are very positive people ... so if you need a lift call a cancer survivor.” Bill Bates, who has been battling cancer for nearly 20 years, offered that bit of advice while speaking on behalf of survivors at the 10th annual Brighton Relay for Life held June 9 outside the King Edward Park Community Centre. He underwent surgery in 1999 after being diagnosed with prostate cancer but not all of the tumour could be removed. “It keeps coming back with a vengeance about every five years and it's active again this year,” Bates said. However, “advances in the treatment are allowing me to live a normal life as a survivor,” he said. “Today the survivor rate of prostate cancer is 96 per cent.” The Canadian Cancer Society, supported by fundraisers such as Relays for Life held across the country, has “played a major role in assisting many patients in their treatment of this horrid disease.” “Many cancers have been beaten and every day the survivor (rate) is improving,” Bates said. It's 65 per cent for those who have colon cancer and as much as 90 per cent if detected early;

breast cancer “is over 88 per cent curable” with early detection, he added. That's why he is “constantly reminding people” to see their doctor if they are not feeling well “or something is not right” in their body. “Cancer changes everything and so can we,” longtime relay co-ordinator Karen White told relay participants, volunteers and supporters at the outset of the 12-hour event that got underway at 7 p.m. on a very pleasant night. Ten teams took part in the relay, which raised close to $35,000, and almost 400 luminaries lined the walk that was set up in the parking lot. About 50 survivors were treated to dinner and given a commemorative 10th anniversary luminary bag created by Hoselton Art in Aluminum. The special occasion was both a celebration and a remembrance, White said, and the teams “had lots of fun doing the limbo, singing karaoke, bowling and playing tug of war,” among the many activities that were held overnight. More than a dozen local army cadets assisted in the relay, and one, Regimental Sgt. Maj. Jessika Hardy, even slipped away from the high school prom taking place next door in the curling club to serve as the member of the Brighton Legion colour guard, fulfilling a promise she had made a week earlier.

But, after 30 years of farming on the sprawling Stirling area family Donnan Farms, the 48-year-old Oak Hills man is crafting a stunning piece that is equal parts patriotic, pop art and wow! To be ready for Canada Day and – Donnan hopes – a place on Parliament Hill, is a massive pictograph of Canada in hand-cut steel. Add fire and light and Donnan hopes it will be a brilliant depiction of Canada’s 150-year history in steel. Donnan now operates a metal fabricating shop behind his stunning Oak Hills home off Golf Course Road in Quinte West and that shop is home to a numebr of custom-made fire globes – eyepopping objects that can be placed in a fire pit, stand on their own or anchored on a pedestal. “You can fire them from inside with wood, propane or even LED lighting,” says the heavy metal artist. “But, each one is unique, each one uses light from the source inside to highlight the cut designs and each can be custom made to your specifications, your family or personal story.” But the project that has consumed him is the Canada 150 globe. Cut from a 250-pound steel, two part globe of steel, the monolith finished with a patina to protect it features a dizzying array of figures

on this, already, and I’ve got a lot to go,” said Donnan. “I’d love to see this somehow in Ottawa on our 150th birthday. That’s my dream for it. It is absolutely one-of-akind and makes a real statement.” It’s a bold statement cut in steel and meant to be big, important and eye-catching. Much like the country it celebrates.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
If you don’t want to be offended? Don’t look up Dear Editor Re Letter: ‘School Flag Flap; what about our rights?’ I would like to address some of the things that were written in the letter to the editor – School flag flap; what about our rights? It seems to me that the author of this editorial is somewhat outraged that the PRIDE flag is flying at her granddaughter’s public school. She then goes on to say that she presumes that this is to accommodate one or two students in the school who
fall into that category and this will make them feel safe. Well I disagree. There are much more than one or two students that are either gay, will come out as gay or transgendered, or have two Moms or two Dads. At least 10% of the population is gay. You do the math – there is definitely more than one or two. Obviously the PRIDE flag starts dialogue. If a student in school can discuss their feelings openly and realize there is acceptance then isn’t
that worthwhile? You know, it is because of editorials like yours that the need for flying a flag even exists. If as you say that the rest of the population are really not interested in a person’s sexuality then why are you so offended by seeing a flag? Why does this trigger such a response from you? You even at one point state the phrase “to add insult to injury” – how does this insult or injure you? Did you show this insult and disdain to your granddaughter when she showed
you the picture of the new flag flying at her school, or did you take this as a learning opportunity to openly discuss differences in families? Will being with a classmate that perhaps has two Moms or two Dads trigger a similar response from her? If everyone was much more accepting of differences between people the world would be a much nicer place in which to live. There is still much bigotry and intolerance in the world. For the LGBT community, Muslims,
Jews, Christians, Indigenous People, different races and ethnicity – the list goes on and on. So for one week, PRIDE week, if a school, a public building, a church or a place of business want to show their support with a rainbow flag then I do not for the life of me see why that should offend you or anyone else. You find it offensive to have it shoved in your face – then don’t look up! Kathy Reid Marmora
Entrepreneurs In Action: KOOL KOATINGS
Sports gear, product lines, consumer items are all getting dipped
Business success is never the result of sheer luck. There’s a certain grit – an unwavering resolution to seek out products or services that consumers want and then deliver them in a big way. A successful entrepreneur listens and learns, reacts to trends, stays ahead of the competition and some, like Bryan Cribbett, sprinkle in a little ‘kool factor’ too. Bryan Cribbett’s background in mechanical engineering, building trades and previous self-employment efforts are melding together to propel Kool Koatings to the forefront of the Canadian hydrographics industry.
Trenval Business Development Corporation was created in 1987 by the Federal Government to support small business and aspiring entrepreneurs. They grow our local economy by lending funds to small business and managing grant programs. Congratulations to this Trenval client and successful Entrepreneur in Action!
Hydrographics (aka water transfer printing or dipping) is an incredible 3D process that allows any water submergible item to be customized with a fantastic design. All-terrain vehicles, golf carts, dashboards, helmets, bikes, automotive trim, sports accessories – plastic, metal, fibreglass, wood, ceramic – all dippable! A water-soluble film with elaborate patterns (wood grain, camo, geometrical designs, metal finishes, natural scenes etc.) is laid on water in a specialized tank and activated. The dippable item has

been prepared and painted. The surface tension of the water allows the pattern to remain after the film has dissolved and with careful, knowledgeable precision, the item is rotated such that the ink pattern curves around each corner, groove, bend and crevice. The ink adheres and will not wash or scratch off. The proud owner now has a rifle, bike frame, thermos and in one case so far, a pair of shoes, unlike any other. CBC News reported the BDC findings that ‘the desire for customized goods’ ranked in the top 5 trends shaping our future. “Consumers are looking to get exactly what they want and new technology makes it possible for them to buy it.” www.cbc.ca/news/business With access to 500 film designs, Bryan fully delivers on the desire for custom or personalized items. He just delivered a camouflageinspired line of paddles to eleven Sail Outdoor stores. Roam around the luxury JetSuiteX airlines website and you’ll see Kool Koatings gorgeous wood grain finished chair trays that adorn the fleet (along with the marble finished sink in the jets bathroom).
Whether it’s one hockey helmet, a full team of helmets or a company wanting to design a signature line of products to stand out in the crowd, Bryan welcomes the job. Walking around his Kool Koatings facility in Belleville and checking out the decorated bike pedals, wooden doors, coffee containers or duck calls, every guest exclaims the same thing “that’s so kool!” “We were incredibly impressed with Bryan’s skills, uniqueness of product offering, ambition and innovative thinking. We are here to assist local start up and existing businesses with financing to bolster the local economy and cast attention on the region.” says Amber Darling, Trenval’s Business & Investment Advisor.

Lyme Disease ground zero in Hastings/PE BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville ¬– The Hastings Prince Edward region has the third highest rate of Lyme Disease cases in humans in Ontario, the public health board heard at a recent meeting. It’s not the kind of news that should scare people from venturing into woods, health officials say. But, it should warn people to be on the lookout for ticks – particularly blacklegged ticks - that could potentially carry the disease. Aptie Sookoo, an inspector for Hastings Prince Edward Public Health, reminded board members that not all ticks are infected with the bacteria that carries Lyme Disease.
Therefore, a tick bite isn’t guaranteed to cause a problem, but there’s certainly potential. “Tick bites must not be interpreted as causal events, but rather potential exposures to elusive illnesses that can certainly pose challenges to health care professionals in the areas of early detection, treatment and patient care management,” he told the board, at its June 7 meeting in Belleville. A person who contracts Lyme disease through a tick bite may experience fever, chills, headaches, fatigue, muscles and joint aches and swollen lymph nodes. If not treated, through antibiotics, it could lead to more severe symptoms, such as facial paralysis, heart
disorders and memory loss. A person may not feel a tick bite immediately, but it often shows itself in the form of a “bulls eye rash.” Public Health’s most recent data, from 2015, shows the Hastings Prince Edward region has a rate of 17.1 Lyme Disease cases for every 100,000 people. The Leeds Greenville and Lanark District health unit’s area had the highest rate in 2015, with 40.8 cases per 100,000. The Kingston Frontenac Lennox & Addington area had the second highest rate at 34.7 per 100,000. All three regions scored well above the provincial average rate of 3.2. Hastings Prince Edward Public
Health immunization manager Bill Sherlock said the rates are surprising to him and he’s not sure why Eastern Ontario has apparently more Lyme Disease carrying ticks than other regions. In a presentation to the board he explained that the disease is named after the town of Lyme, Connecticut, where in 1975 several children were found to have swollen knees, raising suspicions of juvenile arthritis. However, by 1982, a researcher identified a common bacteria found in these cases and by 1988 Lyme Disease was a reportable disease in Ontario. However, until recently, there were almost no reported cases of it in hu-
mans in Ontario. “Human cases have been increasing over past decade,” Sherlock said. “It’s an emerging communicable disease.” Sookoo’s office collects ticks from members of the public who bring them in. He said the majority of ticks come from Prince Edward County. Recently, one came in from Massassauga Point, an area that wasn’t known for ticks before. Both Sherlock and Sookoo stressed that people should still enjoy the outdoors, but to take cautions in wooded areas, where ticks can be found. That can be done by covering up skin, wearing closed shoes instead of sandals and using insect repellent.
First Lyme disease-positive tick of the season identified by Peterborough Public Health BY SUE DICKENS
Peterborough - The first Lyme disease-positive tick of the season has been identified by Peterborough Public Health. In a statement released today, June 8, Atul Jain, manager of environmental health programs said, “The public health lab confirmed this week that a tick submitted recently by a lo-
cal resident tested positive for Lyme disease.” He added, “Ticks can be as small as a sesame seed and their bites are usually painless, so this serves as a good reminder to be on the lookout for ticks and to bring in any ticks you find on people to Peterborough Public Health for identification.” Jain noted that the precise origin of the infected tick is not known, but it

The Good Earth: A Sambucus and a Stromanthe are convo starters BY DAN CLOST
You just gotta love gardeners. One of their more engaging traits is curiosity. They’re the folks you’re likely to see peeking over your fence because they saw a flowered branch dancing in the breeze; they’re the ones who will knock on your door to ask you the name of a new-to-them plant in the front garden. At the Clost Estate there were two plants that gave occasion to the most conversations. The first is a plain old common elderberry, Sambucus canadensis. What is eye catching about this chappy is that it has been trained to a standard giving it a decidedly exotic (unusual) form. If their focus is on just the leaves or the flower/berry clusters identification
is simple but, with the unusual pruning, a macro-view poses a challenge. Managing this standard form is an easy thing to do as long as you don’t let it get away from you. Mind you, it’s taken fifteen years of “easy” to arrive at the current form. Once the flowers have finished, nip off most of the clusters or their weight will break the branches. The other was a Stromanthe sanguinea ‘Tricolor’, sometimes called a Triostar, a member of the prayer plant family. Blade like leaves sport vivid reds and purples, creamy whites, and almost a jade green with a titch of blue in it; quite eye catching. This tropical is not the easiest to grow indoors preferring the high humidity of its
native Brazilian forests, so it is not often seen in an outdoor garden in Canada. Perhaps you might see it in Victoria but, as you know, the folks out there aren’t really gardeners no matter how vigorously protest: their climate lets them plant a 2x4 and grow a spruce tree. Mind you, their designing skills are without parallel as they have such a broad palette from which to choose. One of the interesting benefits of working where I do is the availability of interesting plants. Sometimes, in the spring, the occasional plant plays host to a pest such as mealy bug or cottony scale. The cost of remediation can be greater than the retail value; as well, the time spent to care for it is

time lost to the spring market. In blunt terms, it is cheaper to toss the plant than “fix” it. (And yes, we do employ biological controls but sometimes the grazing grounds are greener elsewhere for them.) AS a result, I troll the tropical house and salvage the odd, interesting plant. At our home, it is isolated from other plants but exposed to the great outdoors. In the smorgasbord of the organic world, we all share a preferred spot on some other organism’s menu. Within a week or two, something will come along and chow down on the critters, cleaning it up very well. At
which point, a spot is found in the shrub beds. I placed it under the canopy of a paper birch clump (since done in by an ice-storm) and in the lee of a dense honeysuckle bush. I kept it well watered and misted. When most gardens are composed of spots of flower colour atop a green leaf, the centre mass of the Triostar, almost three feet across, was a blazing star that drew the eye from two blocks away. We had curious gardeners stop their vehicles and come over for a look. Sadly, those opportunities seldom arise these days due to
the advent of the outdoor room decorated with oversized tropicals, especially palms, bananas and birds-of-paradise. So much so that they are taking up retail floor space wherein stromanthes, philodendrons and their ilk once resided. However, we do have several schleffera, a fig, and a Monstera philodendron tucked away to surprise visitors. When the warm season is over, and before the frosts arrive, whatever tropical is enjoying its vacation at Casa Clost, it is potted up, rigorously inspected, and then returned to the indoors.
CDC-Quinte trying to reach Baby Box Food Drive goal BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville ¬– The Community Development Council of Quinte is in the final days of its 18th Annual Good Baby Box Food Drive. This year the CDC hopes to collect 9,300 jars of baby food, by Father’s Day, Sunday, June 18. As of early June, the CDC was still more than 7,500 jars away – prompting program coordinator Bev Heuving to offer an urgent call for more support. “Even with our funding from Hastings County and United Way, the survival of this program depends on our annual food/diaper drives,” she said. The Good Baby Box program helps provide a cost-effective way for families to purchase baby food,
formula, diapers, infant cereal and many other specialty care items for their children in Hastings & Prince Edward counties. CDC-Q clients can purchase these items at discounted prices at the office at 65 Station St. in Belleville. This year’s goal represents a significant increase over last year’s, owing to growing demand. “The growth and awareness of the program at all of our locations since last year has initiated the increase of our target goal,” said Heuving. In 2016, the Good Baby Box program distributed 6,924 boxes to over 1,200 children, an increase of 24 per cent over the previous year. “We have worked hard at creating awareness that the program is available to anyone and everyone
throughout Hastings and Prince Edward county,” Heuving added. “We are asking everyone to assist us in reaching our goal of collecting the jars needed. As a program coordinator, it is great to see our community step up to give back to the children residing in our local communities.” Donations can be dropped off at 65 Station St. (the entrance is at the back.) Any monetary donations are also welcomed, as it allows CDC-Q the availability to buy large quantities of supplies when on sale. If you need your donation picked up or would like more information on starting a food drive at your business, school, church or organization, call the office at 613968-2466.

There are strange things done in the midnight sun BY JOHN M. SMITH
Caveman Bill lives here on the bank of the Yukon River, near Dawson City. John M. Smith/Metroland
she’s about to have a baby, so she will head south for the delivery and then return here. 3. This mentioning of summertime ferries that are replaced by winter’s ice roads is yet another strange thing about the far north. Some of you will have watched “Ice Road Truckers” on TV, so you’re already aware that it takes a special kind of person to deal with this danger. 4. Yet another strange thing associated with Dawson City is that Caveman Bill has been living in an actual cave along the banks of the Yukon River here for about 20 years. I passed his home when I took an ex-
cursion on an old paddlewheeler, the Klondike Spirit, and I learned that this cave, located just across the river from Dawson City itself, is his home year-round (yes, all winter, too!), and it includes his self-made furniture, a television, and solar power. 5. In Miles Canyon, near Whitehorse, a dam was built, and this destroyed the very rapids that Whitehorse had been named after. Those rapids had reminded people of the white mane of a horse, and had given this city its name, but then, strangely enough, they were gone. 6. Near Whitehorse, on the Yukon River, is the world’s largest wooden fish ladder, built to help
the salmon swim upstream to their spawning area. Even underwater cameras have been installed to monitor the salmon pooling below the entrance to this ladder. 7. In Beaver Creek, next to the Alaskan border, you’ll find the Border Town Garage and Museum,

where Sid has a weird and wacky collection of oddities and rare items in his backyard, including memorabilia from the Gold Rush era and even boarding passes on the Titanic. Strange, indeed! 8. In Carcross, stop by the world’s smallest desert. These northern sand dunes are yet another strange thing to be found in the Yukon. 9. At Haines Junction, you’ll find yourself on the edge of Kluane National Park and Reserve, where you’ll find our country’s largest mountain, Mount Logan, with the largest base circumference of them all. On May 26, 1991, a record -77.5 °C (-106.6 °F) was observed on Mount Logan, making it the coldest temperature ever recorded outside of Antarctica. 10. Another natural phenomenon that’s best viewed in the far north is the Northern Lights. Most of the aurora borealis tourism companies seem to be based in Whitehorse, but one particularly special place to view them would be at the nearby Takhini Hot Springs while enjoying a warm soak during a cold, clear winter evening. To learn more about this natural phenomenon in general, you could check out the Northern Lights Space & Science Centre in Watson Lake. And while in Watson Lake, be sure to check out its unique Sign Post Forest, for visitors have been adding their hometown signs since 1942, when the Alaska Highway Project was completed. It’s quite a collection! For More Information: www.travelyukon.com (Travel and accommodation provided by Holland America)

When I was in Whitehorse in the Yukon, I attended the “Frantic Follies Vaudeville Review”, and here I saw a very humourous re-enactment of Robert Service’s famous poem about the Yukon Gold Rush, “The Cremation of Sam McGee”. In this rather silly poem, it’s stated that “There are strange things done in the midnight sun”, and on this particular night, a frozen prospector, Sam McGee, was cremated. When the narrator checked to see how Sam was doing inside the boiler of the Alice May, Sam asked him to “Please close that door.” He went on to say that “It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear that you’ll let in the cold and storm”. Apparently this was the first time that Sam had ever been warm since his arrival in the far north! The very grueling Yukon Quest sled dog race is held up here every February, between Whitehorse, Yukon and Fairbanks, Alaska, and it’s a real test of courage, skill, and endurance – even for the spectator. Yes, it can get mighty cold in the winter! The Yukon is also often referred to as the “Land of the Midnight Sun”, for it seems that the sunlight simply won’t quit during the summer. This natural phenomenon reaches its peak around the summer solstice, so it can make it difficult for summer visitors to sleep during the daylight. It’s even possible to go for a walk in the wee hours of the morning, or go mountain biking or paddling. It’s also possible to participate in a golf tournament at midnight. For example, Dawson City holds a “Midnight Sun Golf Tournament”, with teams of 5 participating in a best ball spectacle. There are, indeed, “strange things done in the midnight sun”, and here are ten more examples of rather strange events that take place up here in the Yukon: 1. Arguably the strangest of them all is the tradition of the “Sour Toe Cocktail” in Dawson City. Here one can visit the Sourdough Saloon in the Downtown Hotel and join the “Sourtoe Cocktail Club” by consuming a drink with a dehydrated human toe immersed in it. The simple rule is that “You can drink it fast. You can drink it slow. But the lips have got to touch the toe.” Some participants have become so enthralled with this challenge that they’ve even ended up swallowing the toe, too! 2. While talking about Dawson City, another strange thing there is that some people choose to live just across the river, without modern conveniences, and this means using an outhouse in the winter. As one woman who chose this lifestyle told me, it also means being unable to cross the river to Dawson City during freeze-up and spring thaw, as the free ferry can’t go and the ice road is not safe. This particular woman also confided that

Campbellford – When things got too hot for its patrons at The Barn, Westben Arts Festival Theatre went out and bought a “Big A** Fan�. No, really, that’s what the manufacturer calls it. A ceiling fan that’s huge. Twelve feet across. Not only that, Westben had The Barn’s cracked and uneven concrete floor repaired, awnings added, accessibility to entrance ways improved, and its doors fixed and hardware replaced. Making completion of the Welcome Project possible was a $34,000 grant from the Ontario 150 Community Capital Program along with $11,000 in donations raised through Fans of Westben campaign. The renovations will extend the life of the theatre “while increasing the effective, save and comfortable delivery of its artistic services,� artistic director Brian Finley said in a statement. “Enriching people’s lives through arts, culture, heritage and tourism by having appropriate spaces will have an impact

Dear Editor, The reason for the sewage backup in Stirling was placed on the “failure” of not one, but three fuses. Over three decades of work in both the electronics and power industries have shown me that fuses open, not fail, for only one of two possible causes. The first is a real failure in the equipment being supplied by a source of electrical energy. This removes power to the failed equipment in order to prevent further damage to the equipment in question, or to remove a possible overload on the equipment supplying the power. This is what is most familiar to us about the fuses or circuit breakers in our homes. The other is a more subtle situation wherein the inrush current

required to start the pump motors has not been taken into account. A homeowner may encounter this with well or sump pumps which often require time delay fuses or circuit breakers with slower tripping times. Both will eventually trip open at their rated current, but will take longer than the so-called “instantaneous” opening variety. These devices must be selected or co-ordinated by taking into account both the inrush current magnitude of the pump motors and the ratings of other fuses or breakers that lie closer to the energy source. The Stirling problem appears to be the result of a design error, or in plain language: human error.

In one day last year Saudi beheaded 50 people for such crimes as driving while female, or insulting the king.

4th Annual Ralph Kitchen Memorial Ride a roaring success BY SUE DICKENS
Marmora — Motorcycle riders arrived in Marmora on Sunday, May 28 from Hastings, Peterborough, Prince Edward, and other counties east, to participate in a fundraising event started by the Kitchen family. The 4th Annual Ralph Kitchen Memorial Ride was a roaring success. Margriet Kitchen, wife of the late Ralph Kitchen, talked about what happened to her husband when he was injured in June 23, 2009, when “life as he had known it came to an end.” He was involved in an accident with a baby deer in northern Hastings County which left him with a traumatic brain injury “and a slender hold on life.” Margriet said, “Through the efforts of countless medical teams in Kingston and Peterborough and the constant support and encouragement of his family, Ralph did return home to Marmora.” She praised the efforts of those who helped. “One of the groups instrumental in Ralph's recovery, and in supporting of family, was the Brain Injury Association Quinte District. Dedicated encouragement and positive reinforcement by the therapists and staff brought about a quality of

life for Ralph's remaining four years. “These are just some examples of the strength of conviction in providing positive health development and ongoing education and support from this remarkable organization. Life was different, but always, life was good.” At the ride Sunday, a wide vari-
ety of bikes with their riders gathered at the Madoc Township Hall where, as Margriet said, “friends gathered once more to support a wonderful cause, and to remember, or in some cases to get to know the man.” After a breakfast prepared by Kitchen's children Sheryll and Gerrit, and a pre-ride registra-
tion and safety talk, the group of 40 bikes and riders proceeded down Highway 62 for the hourand-a-half tour led by son Byron Kitchen. At the hall coffee and refreshments were available and local vendors who had been invited brought various crafts, jellies and jams, and as well donated prizes
to a draw. Madoc area musician Cliff Andrews kept everyone entertained.

Madoc student gives where he lives Madoc - It may be several months before the Give Where You Live (GWUL) tour touches down, but the crew has already received its first official donation from a local student. Last week, 12‐year‐old Madoc Public School student, Jamal Demorest handed over a cheque for $209 to GWUL, which this year is directly supporting Camp Trillium’s Garratt’s Island in Prince Edward County. GWUL is community fundraising effort hosted through the volunteer efforts of police officers from local Ontario Provincial Police detachments and the Belleville Police Service. “Jamal has been with us from the beginning and continues to be a huge supporter of our efforts,” said Belleville police Const. Jeremy Ashley, who accepted the cheque from Demorest. Since he was six, Demorest has raised upwards of $2,000 for the group, which was formerly known as Pedal for Hope Quinte. When asked why he continues to raise money for the efforts of the police officers, Demorest reply revealed a personal connection to the plight of the initiative, which focuses on raising money for local children battling cancer. “My dad died from cancer and I don’t want anybody else to

go through what I did,” he said. “It’s bad enough for adults to get cancer, but it’s just so sad for kids. The families with sick kids try so hard to make a normal life – I hope this helps kids be kids. They deserve this and much more.” Raising money has turned into a community effort for the youngster over the years. “My family, friends and neighbours are great. They give me pledge money each year. We have yard sales and last year I gave my birthday money to the Pedal for Hope (Quinte).
“The fun part is knowing that I did something to help kids. It’s pretty cool getting my head shaved each year and having a big assembly at school.” This fall the GWUL tour will kick off on October 10 and visit a number of elementary schools throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties, playing host to high energy assemblies, ice‐cream eating contests and more.

Young boy fighting cancer wanted to ride a tractor: his dream came true BY SUE DICKENS
Springbrook — Marcus Hacault, a five-year-old boy who is bravely battling stage four cancer, had his dream come true thanks to the caring actions of Glenn Davison, who hooked up with the folks at McKeown Motor Sales in Springbrook to make it happen. The story is written down and included in a picture frame featuring several photographs of Marcus and Glenn, as a tribute to thank Bill and Grace McKeown and tractor salesperson Bill Cooke for making it possible. It is hanging on the wall at McKeown’s. “It started three years ago when my wife Cheryl passed away from pancreatic cancer. When she went for treatments, we had to go through the pediatric cancer unit to get to the area for adults,” said Glenn, who until now has kept his name out of the public eye and remained anonymous. “It broke our hearts to see the young children suffering, crying and clinging to their parents. Cheryl said that if we had enough money, she would like each child receiving cancer treatments to get a cuddly plush animal. So, three years ago and again this July 6, it will be the fourth time that I go to Kingston General Hospital and purchase enough ‘cuddlies’ for the children in the cancer ward,” he

explained. Last year 30 “cuddlies” were anonymously donated to the ward and young Marcus chose his favourite character, Clifford the Big Red Dog. Long story short, Marcus reached out to Glenn and they became friends for life, “brought together by tragedy,” Soon, Marcus was emailing him and they talked about Glenn’s farm in Flinton, and it wasn’t long before this young boy’s dream to ride a tractor became a reality. Bill McKeown agreed to float Davison’s new tractor to Marcus’s home in Kingston, so that he and his siblings could have a ride. Bill Cooke, salesperson at McKeown’s, volunteered to drive the rig down. At the end of the day, Cooke presented Marcus with a childsized replica pedal tractor. “When we pulled out, he was still riding it around and around in the driveway,” said Glenn grinning. McKeown commented, “Glenn’s really been really looking after this kid. He came in to us with the idea ... there was no question whether we would do it or not.” Now called “the dealership with a big heart,” McKeown Motor Sales has been a part of the community for 80 years. “I believe in paying it for-
ward, finding ways to make a difference in people’s lives and keeping promises made. This event for Marcus is just following through on my beliefs, following my heart,” Davison concluded. Framed thank you at McKeown’s The Dealership with a Big Heart: It’s not often that people get a chance to make a little boy’s dream come true, but Bill and Grace McKeown and Bill Cooke did just that last Saturday. Marcus Hacault, my fiveyear-old friend who is bravely battling stage four cancer, wanted to come to my farm and ride in a tractor. Since he couldn’t come to the farm, McKeown’s volunteered, without any hesitation at all, to float a new tractor down to Marcus’ home in Kingston, and he and all of his siblings shared his dream. Just before we left Kingston, a childsized replica pedal tractor was presented to a very surprised and happy little guy. This is not the first time that the family at McKeown Motors has gone way above and beyond to make a difference. I would personally like to thank Bill, Grace, Bill Cooke and the McKeown family for the love they share and for making Marcus’ dream come true. Sincerely, your friend, Glenn Davison June 3, 2017

Campbellford students tell why they're proud to be Canadian BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford — Why are you proud to be a Canadian? Bemersyde IODE asked that question of Grade 4 students at the three elementary schools in town. Canada has a great hockey team; some of the best food, like poutine and Kraft Dinner; its flag is “really cool”; there’s “almost no litter”; and it’s “great for going on a long trip,” because the country “is full with fun things and some beautiful places,” wrote Colin Stephens of Hillcrest Public School. There’s also snow, which “looks and feels awesome, and gives you a great reason to get a cup of hot chocolate to warm you up.” Canada has “a lot of great trees,” like ash, oak and maple, which are used to make bats, flooring, furniture, bowling pins and butcher blocks, among other things, said Benjamin Marshall of St. Mary Catholic Elementary School. They “also provide us with clean air and shade,” he added. “But, we take them for granted.” Canada has “a lot of awesome sports,” including lacrosse, hockey and curling, which is one of Claire Rowe’s favourite winter sports to watch on TV. The St. Mary student said she’s
“so lucky to live in Canada,” because she has “all these fun sports to play.” Ava Finlay of Kent Public School is proud to be a Canadian because of all the rights that citizens enjoy, including deciding what to celebrate, choosing who rules and saying what you want. Canada also has clean air and water, four seasons that are “unique and beautiful,” and people who “are happy and very kind” living in a country that’s free and peaceful. Soldiers have also played an important part, “because they went to war to protect Canada,” and it was Canadians who invented hockey, basketball and lacrosse to “entertain us so we are not ... bored all the time.” Briar Wellman, also from Kent, said Canada “is a safe place to live” with lots of rules. Canadians embrace differences and are free to choose what they want to be as individuals. They are also friendly and “awesome at hockey.” The winning entries for Canada’s 150th Anniversary IODE Good Citizenship Award were selected by each school. Making the presentations were Bemersyde IODE president Sheila Peters and a delighted citizenship officer Marie Westlake, who said she was “absolutely surprised” by the students’ compositions and the values the schoolchildren “hold dear.”
Skip the tan, Public Health urges With summer approaching, residents may be seeking a summer glow. This year, Hastings Prince Edward Public Health is encouraging residents, particularly young people, to “skip the tan” in order to avoid the negative effects of ultraviolet rays from the sun and/or tanning beds. “Despite skin cancer being the most common cancer in Ontario, many people still believe that tanned skin is healthy and attractive,” says Jessica DeMars, health promoter. “It is a common myth that a base tan from a tanning bed or the sun will protect your skin from further sun damage. While a base tan provides an SPF of 2-4, you need an SPF of 30 or more to protect your skin.” The sun-kissed look will result in negative long-term effects for an individual’s
health and appearance, with young people being especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of UV rays. Tanning, especially before the age of 35, increases an individual’s risk of skin cancer, specifically melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Tanning can also lead to wrinkles, skin damage, premature skin aging, eye damage, and cataracts. HPEPH is encouraging parents to talk to their teens about tanning and set an example by practising sun-safe behaviours. The best way to enjoy the sun safely is to cover up, seek shade, wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or more, wear sunglasses, and limit time spent in the sun between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information about sun safety and cancer prevention visit hpepublichealth. ca/healthy-living/cancer-prevention.

Farmers, motorists encouraged to share the road responsibly BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford — Farmers and motorists can do more to reduce the risk of their being involved in collisions together. How? That is the subject of a BrightenUp campaign information blitz by Safe Communities Northumberland County. “Farmers are getting on the fields now with a delayed start due to the wet season and will be working later,” said Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake, spokesperson for Safe Communities Northumberland. The committee is encouraging farmers to add enhanced lighting to increase the visibility of their equipment at a dis-
tance, and advising motorists to be “aware of how to safely move around” them. Blake was joined by other members of Safe Communities Northumberland at Bob Mark New Holland Sales Ltd. to promote the committee's latest message for improving safety on local roads. The message for farmers is to attach magnetized batteryoperated LED units to older machinery not equipped with caution lights. “The 'slow moving' signs in most cases are faded and not kept up-to-date, so these are an inexpensive way to add that lighting to the back of equipment,” Blake said.
“They're readily available but not used as much as we'd like to see,” said Scott Jibb, a Hamilton Township farmer. Bryce Stapley, who's in sales at Bob Mark, said LED technology uses long-lasting batteries to provide lighting that's “very, very bright” for as little as $25 to $38. “There's really no laws saying they have to have lighting on so it's just generally up to the farmer's discretion.” There are fewer farmers “but there's the same amount of farmland so (they're) travelling a lot more road than they ever were,” Stapley said. Jibb said he knows farmers who have fields in seven munici-
palities. “They'll easily travel 50 kilometres from one extreme to another.” Melanie Trottier, regional marketing planner with the Ministry of Transportation, said there has been an increase in the number of collisions involving farm vehicles since 2012. Travelling the road “is a shared responsibility” between farmers and motorists, she said. There's “a higher risk” of collisions when farm vehicles enter roadways “because motorists don't realize how slow they can go, but maybe motorists go too fast, too, on those back roads.” “People get so frustrated (coming up) behind a slow-
moving vehicle,” said Northumberland OPP media relations officer Const. Steve Bates said. “The one thing we want the public to do is exercise an extreme amount of caution when they come upon farm machinery on our roadways. Keep in mind they're large and cumbersome, and at times can't pull over to the side to let you by because of their load shifting.” “Patience is a virtue and the equipment is getting so large today that it does require special consideration” by all concerned, said Alnwick-Haldimand Township Councillor Ray Benns. “We save one life, we're successful.”

Student jazz players wow Tweed Pavilion BY LYNN MARRIOTT
Tweed — The 2016-17 Gateway Community Health Centre Youth Jazz Ensemble are Grade 5 to 8 students, who had feetsa-tapping at their year end concert in the Tweed Kiwanis Pavilion, Tweed Memorial Park, May 25. The young jazz ensemble opened with O Canada and proceeded to play eight swinging tunes. “I wasn’t sure we could learn this,” preambles music director Andy Seguire, as they burned into their last number Uptown Funk. We are “blown away with their dedication and it shows in the music,” said Carol-Ann Watson the program lead. “Tweed — this is your band,” said Seguire. Each player began with no instrument knowledge. They rehearse two hours, twice a week, have played 11 concerts and entered three competitions throughout the school year. I like “developing musical skills I didn’t have before,” said Jack Newman, when asked why he dedicates so much time to the program. “It helps me describe my feelings,” said Shelby Kehoe.
B18 Section B - Thursday, June 15, 2017
The group won the highest mark at the Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise. Seguire has been music director for three years. The ensemble includes: Jaequin Christian on drums; Shelby Kehoe and Jack Newman on bass guitar; Rowan Lindsay, Ella Derrett and Lexi Delyea on trombone; Martin Fitzell and Emily Delyea on alto sax; Thomas Fitzell and Dean McCann on tenor sax; Decian Scea on baritone sax and trumpet and Riley Lindsay and Todd Hansch-Watman on trumpet. Claire Dafoe has volunteered for three years as bass teacher. Emily Delyea played this year as a Grade 9 student and Lexy Delyea will play next in Grade 9. Thomas Fitzell will audition for the Canterbury School of the Arts in Ottawa. Tweed Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 428 made their seventh annual donation — this year $1,000. The program costs $15,000.

Stirling Agribition teaches kids about farming BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling — For many Grade 4 students attending Agribition at Stirling's Farmtown Park, it was the first time they had held a lamb or petted a calf. Held Wednesday and Thursday, May 25-26, the annual event included students from Stirling and many surrounding communities in the Hastings-Prince Edward School Board, plus a school from Stockdale. “We've put through about 450 students in the two days,” said committee chair Linda Huizenga. “We had two new schools this year.” The students visited 10 different agricultural stations to learn about farm animals and where their food comes from. Huizenga said most of the students come from cities and towns, and have had little or no experience in seeing farm animals up close. The event, which ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day, included about 30 volunteers from the area's farming community. Agribition has been held at Farmtown for about 10 years, Huizenga said. While learning about farming and seeing antique and modern farm implements, where milk and cheese come from and how food is grown was interesting, the big hit of the day was the chance to pet and snuggle with lambs, whose soft wool and gentle faces enthralled many a young visitor.

GIFT OF LOVE Dr. Bruce Cronk would be embarrassed to know the Belleville General Hospital Foundation has named a group of very special donors in his honour. He was a brilliant diagnostician and a true man of science. He was a fierce advocate for his patients. He was a teacher. Most of all, he was compassionate, kind and generous, and he was loved and respected by everyone who ever knew him. But, he was also modest.
Dr. Bruce and his wife Sylvia
So, Dr. Cronk would probably say he didn’t deserve to have such an incredible group named for him. But we know better - not something that could be said very often - because members of the Dr. Bruce Cronk Society embody many of the same traits that made him so beloved. By making a gift to BGH in their will, Society members demonstrate their caring and generous nature; they’re saying they don’t want their commitment to the ones they love, or to their community, to end without one last gift to make care better. Just as Dr. Cronk did. People do make gifts in their wills without telling us, and we’re very grateful when we receive them, but we encourage people to tell us, and join the Dr. Bruce Cronk Society, so we can say thank you in advance. And, there is another reason. When you let us tell others about your intention to support the hospital in your will, it encourages them to do the same.
