Brighton – No task is too big for this small community. Residents from all walks of life and of all ages proved this again last week as dozens rallied together at the Brighton and District Curling Club day after day. From local artists, to kids and residents without any experience painting, the community answered the call to pay tribute to Brighton’s history recently and to help with a special mural project in honour of Canada’s big 150th. “They’ve done a wonderful job, we’re all very excited and it’s so beautiful,” said Lori Dunn, owner of the 78 on Main restaurant where the mural will be hung. “I can’t wait for this to be the first thing people see coming down Highway 2 and into town, it’s going to look really good.” A local oil painter, Charito Vataga ‘Kim’ Helgason and Dunn are the leading ladies behind the mural project that was designed in honour of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. Featuring everything from the Presqu’ile lighthouse, to the Proctor House Museum and more, the mural includes a compilation of iconic buildings and figures, telling the stories of Brightonians and the evolution of the town. Dunn said the community has really taken ownership of the project in recent weeks, with several donat-

ing products to complete the mural and as more than a couple dozen residents joined in to help paint the immense mural day after day last week. It’s clear, this is “their Brighton mural,” said Dunn. The mural was being painted and put together at the curling club and will be unveiled this Canada Day at

78 on Main. Dunn and Helgason, the lead artist for the project previously invited everyone from the community to find a way to take part in the project in some way. If someone had never picked up a paintbrush the duo still encouraged residents to participate and help with the project by painting

a poppy or part of the sky even. When coming up with the idea, the pair wanted to ensure the mural would be a true community project where all Brightonians had the chance to contribute. The unveiling ceremony for the mural is slated for July 1 at 2 p.m. at 78 on Main.

Fourth decision of council appealed to OMB BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – Another decision of town council has been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. On Monday, June 19, CAO Bill Watson reported the municipality had received notice of another OMB appeal, this time in regards to a severance application on Dean Drive that council denied in recent months. “We have a notice of a pending OMB appeal of a decision that we made some months ago…we just received the early notice,” Watson told council Monday. With that said, the specifics and the grounds on which the appeal has been made are unknown at this time. Jacqueline Arbuckle and Christine Herrington (the former mayor of Brighton) have filed the appeal after council denied their severance request. This appeal marks the fourth time since 2015 that a decision of council’s has been appealed to the OMB, though some have been dismissed in the municipality’s favour. Once the grounds for the appeal are known, Watson said Monday he’d like staff to try and meet with the appellants, with the hope that perhaps a resolution may be reached before going to the OMB. “I think I’d like to meet with them, maybe with Stephen [Ashton, manager of planning, building and community development for the municipality,]” said Watson. “Obviously, they feel that they have the grounds to appeal and they must feel that we made a mistake or we missed some information – so, let’s find out what they feel that information is and see if there’s some way we can re-review it and maybe there’s something we missed or maybe, there’s some other way we can approach this.” As of right now, all the municipality has is a formal letter and notification of the appeal. The case

hasn’t been laid out just yet, explained Watson. Council had previously decided against the severance application, after hearing from residents with concerns over increased traffic and parking in the area and what issues might arise as a result. Though resolving the issue without going to the OMB would be ideal, depending on the grounds for the appeal there is a chance staff and council may not be able to do anything to prevent the appeal from reaching the OMB, admitted Watson. Still, the CAO said he’d like to try and find a solution, if at possible before “going the full legal route.” With little information pertaining to the appeal available at the meeting, there wasn’t much discussion amongst council Monday. Councillor Brian Ostrander after the meeting however, expressed little concern in light of the news of another appeal. “I have no concern,” said Ostrander. “The OMB is there for exactly that purpose and we know that the seven members of this body don’t always get it right – so it’s good that there’s an appeals process for the citizens to be able to say, ‘We think they got it wrong.’ In fact, I think the province just announced they’re trying to make that process easier for citizens to appeal council decisions and I’m all for that, I think it’s great.” Perhaps more welcoming news for council Monday was the municipality is finally recouping more than $60,000 in costs from the Mac’s Milk OMB appeal, from back in 2015. Director of finance and administrative services Linda Widdifield confirmed 100 per cent of the costs associated with the appeal for the municipality would be recovered. In other council news:

“I’m going to miss them terribly,” Mayor Mark Walas, on behalf of council, staff and the community, she said. presents Patricia Johnston, the municipality’s planning assistant, with flowers and a commemorative-type certificate Monday, thanking her for her many years of service. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland

Planning assistant for the municipality, Patricia Johnston, was recognized at Monday night’s meeting and her retirement formally announced. Mayor Mark Walas, on behalf of council, staff and the community thanked Johnston for her 11-year commitment to the municipality during a “bittersweet” presentation. “Your professional and friendly service to the community as a planning assistant for over 11 years has helped many people through our municipal planning processes,” said Walas Monday. “We extend our very best wishes to your continued health and happiness and thank you so very, very much.” The mayor estimated to date and during her time with Brighton, Johnston easily helped with planning for 1,100 to 1,200 homes and with countless additional severances, surveys and the like. Johnston started her career in the former Percy Township, in the roads and planning department. After the amalgamation of Trent Hills, she continued on as a planning assistant and before coming to Brighton already committed 19 years. On behalf of the community, Johnston was presented with flowers and a commemorative-type certificate that recognized her years of service and contributions to Brighton. In her closing address, Johnston thanked the staff at 67 Sharp Rd. for the joy they brought to her life the last 11 years.

Hospital looks to future, celebrating Trenton Hospital Foundation awards Kay Stafford grants 30th anniversary of expansion BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – Trent Hills Hector Macmillan used the 30th anniversary of Campbellford Memorial Hospital's last major expansion to ask the public to support the hospital's plans for its redevelopment. Speaking at a special ceremony held Monday afternoon, Macmillan noted the emergency department had been built in 1987 as part of an expansion project that included the addition of ambulance bays, a laboratory, a radiology department and a housekeeping area. The dietary area was also expanded at the time. In a presentation to council in February, CMH officials said a new hospital will cost an estimated $133 million, with most of the funding to come from the provincial government. That still leaves a considerable

sum for Trent Hills to raise, as a municipality and as a community. “If we want to continue to have good local health care we need to be involved, we need to participate,” said Macmillan who “reaffirmed” the municipality's continued support for the hospital's plans for the future. “Ask what you can do to help. Advocate. Write letters to our MPP and our minister of health and tell them ... how critical it is for our hospital to be sustained and ultimately replaced.” The mayor urged residents to volunteer “and, most importantly, donate what you can afford.” As the slogan for the hospital's expansion in the 1980s said, “Let's build it together,” he said. “We can't ask upper tier levels of government to do everything for us, because it won't be done the way we want it done.”

Macmillan also used the occasion to welcome the hospital's new interim president and CEO Varouj Eskedjian, who said he would do his best to “support the organization and resolve existing issues” as well as help “position this place for the future.” “If that includes new facilities and new ambulatory care we'll make sure to incorporate that into our plan.” Eskedjian began work at CMH June 5 replacing Brad Hilker who had been president and CEO since 2011. The end of his contract “effective immediately” was announced in a news release by the hospital that offered no explanation for his sudden departure, except to say CMH was “embarking on a new phase of renewal and redevelopment.” Eskedjian has served in a number of senior administrative roles during his 25 years in health care, most recently as president and CEO of Haliburton Highlands Health Services. The hospital is contemplating a number of options for its redevelopment, which “ideally” include a new hospital and ambulatory care building, he said. “We're also looking at not just redeveloping the hospital,” he added, but also “a much larger undertaking” -- the creation of a local health hub that includes the hospital and partner organizations “potentially ... under one roof or on one campus. “Frankly I think that's the way to go in the future.” It's where the province is “pushing as well,” in terms of integrated health care, he said, “which makes a lot of sense.” Eskedjian said the hospital's proposal is still in “the very early stages” of the province's “significant capital planning process” for new hospital facilities and expansions.

BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton — Kay Stafford’s legacy gift continues to make a great impact on the Quinte West community. When Stafford died in 1996, she left the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF) a legacy gift of $1,129,733 in 1997. Since 2005, the TMHF has awarded $1.2 million of the investment income from Stafford’s gift through the Kay Stafford Memorial Fund, with 75 per cent of the grants awarded to the community and 25 per cent to staff at TMH. After the TMHF’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, June 14, Kay Stafford Awards were given to 13 community groups and five students pursuing education in a health-care field. One student recipient, Renada Barnable from St. Paul Secondary School, said she is heading to the St. Lawrence campus in Cornwall to pursue a bachelor of science and nursing degree offered through Laurentian. “I’m very excited, very thankful to be getting this award, and it’s just awesome to be getting it from a hospital that is definitely close to my heart,” she said. “I’ve been born and raised in the area, and my parents have been raised here as well, and my mom actually worked at the hospital to start. Both my mom and my grandma are both nurses, so it’s definitely close to my heart.” With her mom and grandmother having both worked at TMH, Barnable said she hopes to one day be able to work there as well. Numerous community grants were given, and money to purchase defibrillators was awarded to Sacred Heart ($2,200) and the Quinte West fire department ($3,379). “We’re going to put two more defibrillators in our supervisor

vehicles, and actually, one in our fire prevention vehicle that is out in the community,” said fire Chief John Whelan. The Batawa Lions Club was awarded $2,100 for first aid training, St. John first responders and a therapist for its pond hockey classic. “It’s great and it’ll help us with first aid training for the volunteers, and we’re actually getting money for the actual tournament to help St. John Ambulance to provide first aid for the weekend,” said Jeff Moorhouse, past president of the Batawa Lions Club. The pond hockey classic will also have a new recreational division in the tournament, and some of the club’s Kay Stafford Award grant will be allocated to a massage therapist. “We’re having a division that’s just for fun, a recreational division in the tournament, so we figure the average age in the tournament might be a little higher. So, we’re getting a massage therapist in to help out with the aches and pains from the tournament,” said Moorhouse. Grants were also awarded to Big Brothers Big Sisters, John Howard Society, MFRC/ADHD: A Family Matter, Our TMH, Quinte Access for a new van, Quinte West Youth Centre for a food prep and nutrition program, The Children’s Foundation, Trenton Seniors 105 for automated doors, VON and YMCA Strong Kids Campaign. High school students received $3,000 in bursaries to pursue post-secondary education and a nursing student at Loyalist College received $1,000. “That fund is going to continue ad infinitum and continue to bless this community for the various activities that meet the mandate of that fund,” said board chair Phil Wild. “It is an amazing fund.”

Cold Creek County adds to awards collection BY BILL FREEMAN

Northumberland — Cold Creek County has added to its music awards collection. The massively popular local country music band with solid roots in the area copped another Country Music Association of Ontario honour, winning the Group-Duo of the Year for the second year in a row. The band — made up of co-founder Doug Oliver of Hastings, Justin and Josh Lester from Trenton, Trevor MacLeod of Stratford, Jordan Honsinger from Burlington, and new lead singer Ches Anthony from Dalmeny, Saskatchewan — received the award at the CMAO’s annual celebration in London. They were also nominated for a Fan’s Choice award, single of the year for Beer Weather, and Album of the Year, Till The Wheels Come Off. The band is buoyed by the June release of their EP Homemade and is gearing up for some heavy-duty summer shows including a late June

stop at the Stars and Thunder Festival in Timmins, a Canada Day date at Dauphin, Manitoba’s Country Fest, and big gigs at the Calgary Stampede, County Thunder Saskatchewan, Edmonton’s K-Days, and Boots and Hearts. Last year, the band also won the CMAO’s Rising Star and Video of the Year awards. Their chart-busting album Till The Wheels Come Off also earned three Canadian Country Music Association nominations last fall and Cold Creek County was part of the of the NHL’s 100th anniversary celebration in Toronto, playing Stompin Tom’s The Hockey Song during intermission at the outdoor classic. Also on that bill were Bryan Adams, Dean Brody, and The Arkells. To add even more sweetness to 2017, the band received a Juno nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year and was invited to throw out the first pitch at a Toronto Blue Jays game against the Texas Rangers in May as part of a Country Days celebration.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Walk a mile in this gay man’s shoes, please Dear Editor, I am not usually compelled to publicly respond to negative comments made about the LGBT community of which I am a proud member. However, after reading the letter to the editor in the June 8 edition of the Brighton Independent, “School flag flap; what about our rights?” written by Cheryl Westall, of Campbellford, I couldn’t let that go without a response. As seems to be the norm these days, I will refrain from lashing out in anger. On the contrary … in the very spirit of peace and harmony that the Rainbow Flag (Pride Flag) represents, I would like to invite Cheryl to “walk a mile in my shoes”. During my pre-teen and teenage years of the 60’s and early 70’s, I suffered from a state of despair, isolation and depression that resulted in me seriously contemplating taking my own life, all because I was trying to deal with my sexuality. I suffered taunts and beatings from bullies at school and in our neighborhood; a constant fear of rejection by my family if they found out what I was; total abandonment by age 13 of all my boyhood friends and rejection of friendship by any of the other kids because I was “different” and utter despair of contemplating how I was going to live the rest of my life being “this way.” I would cry myself to sleep at night, praying to God to make me like everybody else and that I don’t want to be like this. But alas, my prayers and lamenting went unanswered … in the morning I was still the same. If I had just a wee bit of a sign that I was not alone and even a hint of positive support during those years, it would have made a huge difference in my life. And here we are in 2017. Things are different now, but we still need to make sure that support is there for kids who are dealing with their sexuality. Incredibly, these kids are still being thrown out of the house by parents and bullying is still a problem, made worse by social media. Teen suicide related to sexual identity crisis is also still far too prevalent. Yes, we need LGBT Pride celebrations as a reminder to never accept the “bad old days” of discrimination and fear again and to remind us of the hard fought for, basic rights and freedoms we won over decades, that everyone else just took for granted. The LGBT community has never asked for “special rights”…equal rights as human beings is all we have ever asked for. One has only to look at what is going on in Russia today with state sanctioned beatings and incarcerations to see just how tenuous LGBT rights and freedoms can be. The Rainbow Flag is not merely a statement of sexual identity as Cheryl opines. The colours of the flag represent Life, Healing, Light, Nature, Serenity and Spirit. What could be more positive human virtues than that? So, I would ask Cheryl if she can find it in her heart to be more compassionate to her fellow human beings, no matter what they do with their private parts. Also, to tolerate a Rainbow Flag being displayed for one month out of a whole year at her granddaughter’s school. It just might make a difference in a young person’s life. Dwight Hargrove Brighton

OPINION

Varadkar, Bernabic new face of leadership

Gwynne Dyer

For most Irish people the most striking thing about their new prime minister, Leo Varadkar, is that he is very young. (At 38, he is the country’s youngest leader ever.) It’s mainly the foreign press that goes on about the fact that he is a) half-Indian,

and b) gay. Varadkar himself, the son of a doctor from India and a nurse from Ireland who met while working in a hospital in southern England, is definitely not keen on being seen as a symbol of changing public attitudes: “I’m not a half-Indian politician, or a doctor politician or a gay politician, for that matter. It’s just part of who I am. It doesn’t define me.” No, it doesn’t, but it is still worth focusing on for a moment to think about what it tells us not just about Ireland but about the West as a whole, and even about the world. Homosexuality was legalized in England in 1967, and it was decriminalized in Canada the following year (when Pierre Trudeau, then the justice minister, told the CBC that “there’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation”). It only became legal in Ireland a quarter-century later, in 1993. But, two years ago same-sex marriage was made legal in Ireland by a referendum in which 62 percent of the voters said yes. Well, we already knew that Ireland had changed. It has lots of immigrants now – one in every eight people is foreign-born – and the political power of the Catholic Church has collapsed. So it’s no longer a surprise that an Indo-Irish gay man can become prime minister. But, what about Serbia? The only “immigrants” in Serbia are ethnic Serbs who were stranded in other parts of former Yugoslavia after the breakup. The Serbian Orthodox Church is still strong, and it has no truck with degenerate Western ideas about human rights. As one Orthodox monk wrote: “Homosexuality is not a problem in Serbia. There are hardly any gay people, and society wouldn’t permit them to organize or (publicly advocate) their abominations.” Two-thirds of Serbians think that homosexuality is an illness, and almost four-fifths believe that gay people should stay in the closet. But Ana Brnabic is an out and proud

lesbian, and she has just been appointed prime minister of Serbia. She is also of Croatian descent. How has this happened? The general assumption in Serbian political circles is that Brnabic’s appointment is window-dressing. Serbia wants to join the European Union, and the government would quite like to divert the EU’s attention from a few little image problems: its close ties with Russia, its hostility to refugees, and rampant corruption. So what could be better than a woman prime minister (a Serbian first) who is openly gay (another Serbian first) and even has foreign antecedents (her father was born in Croatia)? Why, the Serbs are even more enlightened than the Irish! We should make them full members of the EU as soon as possible! That may well be the plan – and if it is, so what? The European Union knows that there was a considerable amount of calculation behind Brnabic’s appointment, but it will not condemn President Alexandar Vucic for trying to make Serbia look like a suitable candidate for EU membership. Lots of ordinary Serbs will be shocked by this assault on “Serbian values”, but many of them will understand that it serves the national interest. And little by little, just because Brnabic is the prime minister, they will grow less uncomfortable with the notion of gays – and indeed just women in general – having a legitimate role in public life. This is how change really happens: not sudden enlightenment, but a gradual acceptance of new rules and values. And the most encouraging take-away from this little story is that even a man like Vucic, once an ally of the murderous demagogue Slobodan Milosevic, understands the new political and social rules of the West. They are not yet the new rules everywhere. Eastern Europe is way behind Western Europe, North America and Latin America, largely because it spent between forty and seventy years isolated from the rest of the world under Communist rule. The struggle is still intense in parts of Asia, and it has scarcely begun in most of Africa and the Muslim world. Gay rights, feminism, human rights in general are not really “Western” values: a hundred years ago the West was just as intolerant of difference as everybody else. The change has come to the West earlier mainly because it is richer, but we are all traveling on the same train, and the other end will pull into the station just a little bit later.

Street crime plan laudable; Kingston has a case of Belleville-envy Editorial by Chris Malette If you’ve had your home, cottage or even car broken into and the thieves taking only what is widely believed to be valuables they can quickly sell, these aren’t poor, put-upon thieves looking to feed their families. In most cases, they’re those looking to feed an addiction and that overarching, craven need to feed the addiction would see those addicted to sell their family power tools to pawnshops, break into neighbours’ homes and otherwise ratchet property crime statistics through the roof. Ask a cop. In Central Hastings, detachment commander Staff Sgt. Scott Semple says the correlation between drugs and street crime, as simple break-ins, thefts and other property crimes are called, is clear. “The need for property and money to buy narcotics is pretty much proven in the fabric of our society,” Semple told the Central Hastings News. For that reason, he’s helping drive a regional OPP street crimes unit that’s seeing results in targeting narcotics and those selling them in smaller communities in an effort to curb property, or street crimes. “The OPP street crime teams are now in every detachment,” said Semple. In the Centre HastingsBelleville region, driving the initiative and working with Belleville police in a collaborative manner is making the ongoing fight against illegal drugs and unearthing the connection to property theft more effective and multi-jurisdictional in nature. “In my area, our street crime team consists of members from Quinte West OPP, Centre Hastings and Bancroft detachments,” he explained. It’s a forward-looking approach to policing in a region hard-hit by opioid addiction – a plague that drives up those crime statistics where theft and break-ins are concerned. “There’s a definite correlation across the province. Property crime is related to drug offences. We’re always aware of that as a potential driving factor for property crime and that’s why, since I’ve been here from last September, we’ve actually focused a lot on our drug culture in our area and we are doing that in an attempt to reduce property crime,” Semple explained. It’s not a revolutionary idea in policing, just one that is effective in its simplicity and worthy in its praise in that respect. The formula seems straightforward – eliminate or at least seriously erode the stream of drugs that fuel the need to pay for the addiction and the corresponding effect is to reduce break-ins, thefts and frauds. A tip of the cap, then, to Semple and the OPP

street crime units.

For our Belleville readers EDITOR’S NOTE: Many in Belleville frequently bemoan our lot in areas like downtown, commerce, the arts, restaurants and the like as compared to Kingston, just 45 minutes down Highway 401. Well, here’s a twist. Some in Kingston have BellevilleEnvy. Below is a portion of a letter that ran as an opinion piece in our sister Metroland newspaper, Kingston Heritage. At the 2016 census, Belleville had a population of 50,716, whereas Kingston had a population of 117,660. In spite of that, Belleville has EIGHT municipally-owned and operated traffic bridges over the Moira River, not including the 401 highway bridge and the Ontario-managed highway 37 bridge. That’s a total of 10 river crossings for traffic within the City of Belleville. It even has two pedestrian bridges over the Moira. In contrast, Kingston has ZERO municipally-owned and operated bridges over the Cataraqui River. The socalled “third crossing” would actually be the City of Kingston’s FIRST crossing. Why does Belleville have eight municipal bridges and Kingston none? • Is it because Belleville seizes income opportunities while Kingston rejects them? In April, Belleville received its first quarterly cheque for $575,749 from the new Shorelines Casino. It will spend 65 per cent of that on infrastructure and the rest on social programs. Kingston was the first choice for the casino’s location, but Council rejected it and the $2.3 million a year income that came with it, not counting the jobs it would have provided. • Is it because Kingston elects all its councillors by district, whereas Belleville elects councillors at large within two wards (representing the old City and the former Thurlow Township)? When councillors represent all residents, NIMBYism is less likely to sway decisions. • Is it because Belleville spends its tax dollars on infrastructure, rather than time-consuming, expensive studies of dubious value? The amount of time saved in crossing the river on an average day is irrelevant. It’s the safety issue and the cost of the thousands of person-hours’ income lost during gridlock that are the key arguments for approving the bridge. We must also consider the wasted fuel and the carbon emissions produced while thousands of cars are tied up in traffic jams… Catherine Phillipson Kingston

Quinte West — From June 16 to July 16 the Quinte West OPP is focusing efforts toward reducing sexual assault incidents in the community. Officers from the Quinte West detachment are partnering with the Sexual Assault Centre for Quinte and District, focusing efforts to reduce sexual assaults by educating the public about the impact of sexual assault on victims and their families, as well as enforcing the laws surrounding sexual assault. What can you do to help: • Know the signs. • Get educated on the subject of sexual assault. • Listen to the victim. Let them know you believe them and be that support system for them as well as finding them services they require. • Let the survivor know that the abuse is not their fault. The responsibility is always on the perpetrator. • Do a random act of kindness for the victim. Every small act or gesture will provide the victim with some relief and help increase their self-esteem. • Check in regularly. Letting the person know you are watching out for them will give them a sense of security. • Talk to your children and young people in your life about healthy relationships. Everyone can help make a difference in sexual assault incidents. Stop it before it happens.

Celebrating Canada’s ‘One Five OH!’ BY SARAH HYATT

It’s Time. When you’re always worried about how mom’s doing. Let Seasons help.

Brighton – Residents love their town and their nation. This much was evident Monday, June 19, as dozens filled the Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church hall for a local celebration in honour of Canada’s 150th. A costume parade, choir performances and an indepth reflection of Canada’s past were among some of the highlights for the Take Time Out Group’s special ‘Celebrate Canada One Five OH!’ event. “This was our grand-finale for the season,” said facilitator and co-ordinator for the group, Jean Finkle. And community and Canadian pride were shining bright Monday. Mayor Mark Walas and the Happy Quilters helped kicked the celebration off. After the mayor’s welcome, the Happy Quilters presented Walas with

a large quilt commemorating the nation’s birthday. The Canadian-inspired quilt will hang on loan at the 35 Alice St. municipal building. Another two quilts were showcased at the gathering by the Happy Quilters and will be loaned out to the Colborne and Brighton legions for display and in honour of Canada’s big year. East Northumberland Secondary School students alongside music director Lynda Tonkin also made the trip to the church hall Monday. Students performed songs highlighting all of Canada’s provinces. Councillor Brian Ostrander and local historian Dan Buchanan delved into the nation and Brighton’s past during the event and led attendees of the program on a journey through time. Attendees of the special event were also encouraged to sport their nation’s colours and to showcase Canada’s past and present with costumes.

Presqu’ile lighthouse entered in national crowdfunding competition BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton – The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society has turned to crowdfunding to help raise money for its ambitious restoration project. The non-profit organization has entered a contest, This Place Matters, sponsored by The National Trust for Canada. It’s the first crowdfunding platform in the country to be dedicated to heritage and the entrant that receives the most votes online will be awarded the grand prize of $60,000. There are also three regional prizes available, worth $30,000 each. Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society learned of the funding opportunities 10 weeks ago and submitted a description of the project and its objectives, along with proof of the organization’s capability to manage the work that will be done, volunteer director Dave Sharp said. Voting started June 15 and ends at noon on July 17. “You can vote once per 24 hours, per email address,” Sharp said. “Donations also count as one vote per dollar. If you are considering donat-

ing to us, please do so now, during the contest.” Charitable tax receipts will be provided. There are six other big projects in central region in competition with Presqu’ile’s. This Place Matters requires those wishing to vote to register for reasons of security and to prevent fraud. To start the process, visit the lighthouse society’s website, www. pplps.ca, and click on the link shown in the announcement. The society will be posting a new video about the lighthouse’s condition every four to five days. The money currently being raised will go toward a pilot project scheduled to begin in September at an estimated cost of nearly $200,000. It will involve removing the lighthouse’s wooden shingles and girdle, reinforcing the 69-foot limestone structure with polymer injections into numerous voids in the wall, and installing stainless steel tie-rods around the openings of the original Gothic windows. The volunteer organization has raised $95,000 thus far and can count on another $62,000 that has been committed, leaving it short by

about $45,000. The work, which is expected to take four to six months, needs to be done before full restoration can get underway, possibly in late 2018, at a cost of more than a million dollars. “If our lighthouse does not receive the required restoration work soon, it may deteriorate beyond saving, and be torn down,” Sharp warned in an email appealing for support of the project. “As one of the last five lighthouses on Lake Ontario, it is absolutely critical to save it as a link to our heritage.” More information about plans for the tower’s restoration can be accessed by clicking on the Pilot Project Strategy Report at www.pplps. ca. “Vote and share (on Facebook) and where possible, donate,” Sharp said. Since This Place Matters was launched in June 2015 with Nova Scotia lighthouses as its theme, the competition has enabled 64 communities to raise more than $725,000.

Information about the condition of the lighthouse was collected in a study done in 2014. John Campbell/Metroland

Brighton’s Own: Gen. Ian Douglas (Ret.) till serving his country BY VIC SCHUKOV

Retired General Ian Douglas and his wife Joan settled in Brighton 10 years ago. Douglas was born in Scotland and moved to Montreal when he was 10. Joan was born in Montreal. They married in 1962, in Germany. At 14, he joined the Grenadier Guards as a militiaman, in a not too uncommon fashion: He lied about his age. At 18, he atoned for his youthful exuberance, confessing to the army commission upon joining as a regular soldier. His career spans 40 years in the service of his country: In 1974, Douglas did a tour with the peace-keeping force in Cyprus, his first United Nations

experience. In 1988, he was seconded again to the UN as Deputy Commander of the peace keeping force in five Central American countries: “Over the next year, said Douglas, “we demobilized and disarmed 23,000 fighters of the Contra army. The war had been going on for 10 years with over 100,000 people killed. It was the first disarming operation in Central America, and arguably the most successful, with no casualties.” Douglas returned to Ottawa, completing his career as the Military Attaché to the United States. Upon retiring in 1993, he went to work for the United Nations: “In Honduras, I worked for Kofi Annan, the Undersecretary General for Peacekeeping Operations who later became

“Cadets is the best youth program in the country. It takes kids 12 to 18, totally supported by the Department of National Defence. We raise an additional 20 percent for fun and adventure training. We sent 20 selected cadets to Vimy Ridge last winter for the 100th anniversary, also adventure training in the Rockies, Peru and other parts of the world. It is a citizenship program, aimed at producing better citizens. At 14, they start teaching the younger cadets. By 17, they are supervising the show. Fantastic. A kid in cadets, is one who stays out of trouble.” Douglas, an ex-paratrooper, is an honorary member of the 1st Paratroop Battalion of World War Two: “I was the former Commander of the Canadian Airborne Regiment at Petawawa 35 years ago. The association allows our cadets to use their insignias.” Douglas was also a lieutenant colonel of a battalion in Germany, a colonel commanding the Canadian Airborne Regiment, and a Brigadier General of The Special Service Force. He is both proud and modest: “A general is just someone who has been promoted a lot. I am a junior general, one star. As a major, I commanded a company of 110 men, one of the best jobs I ever had. With the same company for three years, I had a good boss and lots of room to prepare these guys. An officer’s job is to get the soldiers ready to fight when called. I love soldiers because they are prepared to put it all on the line wherever they are sent. You are called a serviceman. You serve your country. And an officer has to lead by example.” (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books Ian and Joan Douglas shown here at home. for everyday people.

But the five African factions weren’t ready for peace, and we were unsuccessful in creating peace that would lead to demobilization.” Douglas returned home, but was asked to go back following the events in Rwanda, a mission involving his good friend General Romeo Dallaire: “I planned the Liberian mission in the same room as he prepared for Rwanda,” said Douglas. “In 1994, the rest (Rwandan genocide) was history, as they say.” Douglas was assigned a million and a half refugees in camps on the Congo side of the border: “The Hutus were running away

from the Tutsis. I was responsible for security with a force of 1,500 soldiers, three small battalions of local presidential guard.” In 1996, Douglas joined the Pearson Peacekeeping Institute, instituting programs on how to demobilize. Based in Cornwallis, NS, his team travelled the world. Arriving in Brighton, he joined the Legion and agreed to be poppy chairman. He said, Okay, we get the local cadets to help us. They said, there are no cadets here. “So,” said Douglas (laughing), “I got onto Ottawa and all sorts of people and started the Brighton Army Cadet League, eight years ago.” This year’s group has 45 cadets, boys and girls equally split.

A story that is 75 years old might normally considered “old news,” but this one is about a Quinte area couple celebrating their 75th anniversary and still both active citizens. Meet George Hurford, 99, still holding a driving licence and a keen follower and debater of the Canadian scene. Then there is Evelyn who developed skills as a welder of Bren guns during the Second World War and remains an active and award-winning bird carver. Evelyn was born Sept. 21, 1922, in Toronto, her siblings included two brothers and two sisters. George immigrated to Canada from Brisbane, Australia, where he was born March 10, 1918, coming to Canada at the age of 11 with his family. He was an only child. Last Saturday, a large second-floor room in Belleville’s Travelodge Hotel was filled to near capacity with family, friends and neighbours as they celebrated their 75th anniversary. They met on a blind date when Evelyn was one of the first female welders at the Toronto John Inglis factory and George was a tool and dye maker at a Toronto plant. Married during the depths of the Second World War in June of 1942, they sought a rural location to raise a family, finding one near Magnetewan in Northern Ontario, on the banks of the Magnetewan River at Ahmic Lake, where they embarked on what quickly became a successful summer fishing camp resort, making friends from

across Canada and many of the United States, many of which they retain. They retired to Brighton after selling the business to daughter Carol in 1980, where Evelyn developed an interest and an outstanding talent at wood carving, particularly birds, winning many awards, including her most recent as second place at the Quinte Wood Carving Annual Show and Competition. George maintains an active interest in national and world political news and sports and

loves to discuss issues with friends and visitors. He also keeps an eye on the best bargains at area supermarkets. Making up most of the guests at their official celebration were most members of their family of three children, 10 grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, plus friends and neighbours, where a highlight was their being serenaded in old-fashioned style by Belleville’s InFour-Mation Barbershop Quartet, plus plenty of food and chit-chat.

Health Unit will begin testing for West Nile BY BILL FREEMAN

Peterborough — Peterborough Public Health is telling area residents to try to avoid mosquito bites and to reduce breeding grounds in order to prevent the spread of West Nile virus. “With the damp spring so far we could see more mosquitoes this year so it’s even more important to protect yourself by cleaning up and covering up,” said public health inspector Wanda Tonus.

Public health staff trap mosquitoes and test larvae from standing water pools throughout the county and city. Last year they collected over 5,000 local mosquitoes and none tested positive for West Nile virus. Public Health Ontario reported 211 positive mosquito pools in 2016 with 49 confirmed human cases of the virus. Peterborough Public Health offer some tips to make things more mosquito-proof. They encourage residents to

continually empty standing water mosquitoes need to lay their eggs including flower pots, wheel barrows, pool covers, old tires and garbage and recycling cans. People should fill in low depressions in your lawn and change the water in bird baths at least once a week. Residents should clean out dense bushes and shrubs where mosquitoes can rest and turn over the compost pile on a regular basis and should also ensure that windows and door screens fit

tightly and do not have holes. They recommend using federally-registered personal insect repellent on exposed skins such as products containing DEET and when appropriate wearing protective clothing outside. Health officials also suggest light coloured clothing because mosquitoes tend to be attracted to darker colours. Approximately 80 per cent of people infected with West Nile don’t show any symptoms and of the 20 per cent that do, most experience mild illness with symp-

Quinte West water, wastewater projects get nearly $2.8M in funding BY SARAH HYATT

Quinte West – With help from both the federal and provincial governments, close to $2.8 million has been committed for five Quinte West ‘clean water and wastewater’ projects, politicians announced Friday, June 16 at city hall. “Infrastructure under the pavement is not very sexy, right,” said Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi Friday during the announcement. “Nobody sees it and it costs a pile of money.” Similarly, sewage treatment plants are also usually hidden away, but such projects are “so vital for our citizens and so vital for our environment,” stressed Rinaldi, as he offered his congratulations to the city and alike others gave high praise to municipal staff for their hard work in putting together the applications for funding. Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis spearheaded the announcement at city hall, on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, alongside Rinaldi, municipal staff, Quinte West councillors and Mayor Jim Harrison. “A lot of the programs we do, it is staff that makes us as politicians look good most days…” said Ellis. “This is huge when we look at our wastewater and it’s not only money for wastewater, but this money helps our environment.” The federal contribution to the five projects totals more than $1.2 million through the ‘Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF). The federal program is designed to “accelerate short-term community investments, while supporting the rehabilitation and modernization of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure and the planning and design of future facilities and upgrades to existing systems.” Through the program, the federal government has committed close to $570 million in infrastructure funding for Ontario to aid with rehabilitation and new construction projects, as well as optimization initiatives and planning and design work. The province is providing up to $270 million for projects, cost-matching recipients contributions up to a maximum of 25 per cent of total eligible project costs and in the case of Quinte West, chipping in close to $613,000. The city’s contribution totals more than $951,000. “This is fantastic support for these five projects – it’s a commitment from the city, to complete those projects and we’re very thankful for any support we can get from any government, other than our own tax-

base,” said Harrison Friday. “This is much appreciated and will help us reduce the amount of waste going through the plant and allow us to put more clean water out to the Bay of Quinte. This also allows us to improve our quality of water…this is a great day for us.” Funds will help with following projects: Trenton Water Treatment Plant backwash, the Parry Drive watermain looping, a new mixing system for the Trenton wastewater plant sludge storage, a new hydro feed to the Dundas Street pumping station and sanitary sewer replacement on North Murray Street. “We’re very thankful to our staff, because staff has done a lot of work,” said Harrison. “It takes a lot of work to get these things and it doesn’t just happen…you know, one wrong word [on the applications] and you’re beat.” By the province’s own estimates, currently Ontario is facing a rough $100 billion infrastructure deficit. Some places in Ontario still have wooden water pipes, noted Rinaldi. Politicians stressed the importance of investments now during the announcement and how building and maintaining infrastructure is an essential part of building livable communities. “This funding will support five capital projects that once completed, will ensure the city is prepared for future growth and the continued delivery of safe and reliable water and wastewater services,” said Chris Angelo, director of public works and environmental services in a release Friday. The projects for the city in more detail here: The Trenton Water Treatment Plant backwash: In an effort to reduce the demand on the plant and to reduce operating costs, the city proposed the installation of a floating decant system in the plant’s backwash waste tanks. The decant system will remove the clear water from the tank and discharge it to the nearby Trent River so that minimum waste is sent to the plant. The new system would reportedly on average, result in a net reduction of flow to the plant of 400 cubic metres per day and optimization of the city’s asset. Parry Drive watermain looping: The Batawa Development Corporation is proceeding with a residential subdivision at the north end of Fraser Drive in Batawa. The development will mean an extension of a watermain from the bulk water station to Fraser Drive, along Parry Drive. The exten-

SurNet

sion gives the city “a unique opportunity” to partner with the corporation and the developer, and to loop the watermain to Sidney Crescent. The extension will provide additional flows for freighting, improve water quality, address future growth pressures and provide a backup supply in the event of a break. New mixing system for Trenton wastewater plant sludge storage: In an effort to reduce biosolids production destined for land application, or third-party storage, the city proposed the installation of a linear motion mixer for the plant’s sludge storage tank. The current mixing system relies on a set of pumps to remove and discharge sludge. This system has proven “inadequate for both biosolids thickening and plant operations.” If biosolids production can be reduced by 50 per cent as estimated

with the new system, this will result in cost savings of about $375,000 annually and optimization of the system. New hydro feed to the Dundas Street pumping station: To facilitate future upgrades to the station, replacement of the current hydro system is required. The existing system has begun to experience failure and city staff recommended accelerating the project. The city will also cost-share with Hydro One as the feeder system is upgraded. Sanitary sewer replacement on North Murray Street: The city’s asset management plan identified a “critical need to replace the sanitary sewer infrastructure” along North Murray, due to its age and ongoing maintenance issues. Improvements will benefit the entire wastewater system with reduced infiltration and increased reliability.

ENSS hands out awards to its MVPs; one is headed to the Youth Games BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton – After a season that included record-setting performances and multiple wins for the East Northumberland Secondary School Blue Dragons, Sam Hall was chosen boy MVP for the track and field team. But, the big news to come out of the school’s athletic awards night June 14 was that Hall, 17, will be a member of the Canadian team at the Bahamas 2017 Commonwealth Youth Games in July, competing in high jump. Hall won’t be returning to ENSS next fall; he’ll be attending a high school in Toronto for his Grade 12 diploma. He’s moving there to train seven days a week with the University of Toronto Track Club, which he joined a year ago. He’ll be competing in meets throughout the summer, including the Royal Canadian Legion nationals. His long-term goal is to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Hall’s younger brother, Jared, 15, had a spectacular season as well, chalking up wins in sprints, relays, high jump and triple jump, while also setting records. He’s also

a member of the University of Toronto Track Club and will be busy this summer with competitions. Kirsten Bevaart, who placed first in senior girls discus and shot put at the Bay of Quinte Invitational, and placed in the top four at East Regionals, was chosen girls MVP for the track and field team. She was also selected MVP of senior girls volleyball, and named senior girl Athlete of the Year. Andrew Brown, MVP of the boys cross-country team, was chosen senior boy Athlete of the Year. The Athletes of the Year at the junior level were Sam Phillips, Josh Snider, and Emily Lange. Phillips and Snider were MVP for both the tennis and senior badminton teams, and played key roles in the junior soccer team winning COSSA for the second straight year. Lange was MVP for the junior badminton team. Also earning MVP awards were: Girls – Kya Bailey (junior girls basketball), Victoria McNeil (senior girls basketball), Mya Nichols (junior rugby), Au-

tumn Archer (senior rugby), Julia Martin (cross-country), Penny Matthews ((most promising Grade 9 cross-country), Taylor VanderMeulen (junior volleyball), Hannah Mumby (hockey), Morgan Typhair (curling), Ashley Vanderploeg (junior soccer), and Lauren Molenhuis (senior soccer). Boys -- Aiden Hussey (golf), Nolan Gauvin, Gavin O’Rourke (junior soccer), Ian Molenhuis (senior soccer, hockey), Kyle Crowe (most promising Grade 9 cross-country), Will MacAuley (junior volleyball), Quin VanBlaricom (senior volleyball), Kieren Lewis (junior basketball), Dylan Vermeiren (senior rugby), and Garrett Bird and Jacob Gilbert (most promising track and field Grade 9 student). Colleagues of Michelle Whitney paid tribute to the school’s long-time badminton coach who is retiring after 33 years in the classroom and gymn. “You truly are like a four-leaf clover – lucky to have and hard to find,” said principal Charlotte Filip. “You leave a legacy here at ENSS. I’m honoured to

have known you, been coached by you and worked with you for many years.” Whitney said her “new passion will be a granny nanny” to her new grand-daughter. Parent Stephen Lee was recognized for

his contributions to ENSS athletics for his years of volunteer service that began with one daughter playing sports and continued with another one following in her footsteps.

Marty Abrams leaves Dukes to be new coach of Trenton Golden Hawks BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – After 18 years of coaching the Wellington Dukes, Marty Abrams has officially been announced as the new coach and general manager of the Jr. “A” Trenton golden Hawks. The announcement came during a press conference at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Community Gardens in Trenton on Thursday June 15. When asked if it felt like moving to the 'dark side,' considering Trenton and Wellington’s longstanding history as rivals, Abrams said the move has definitely got a new flavour to it. “Sometimes it changes, what you need to get the blood flowing again and

new challenges, it’s not too often that you can come in and be a part of an organization that’s been as strong as Trenton has been,” he said. Abrams said the move has allowed him to maintain his roots in Prince Edward County. He’s committed to go for a three-peat of the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, he said, and knows the high expectations of the organization. “That’s what makes it exciting and fun, the opportunity here is outstanding to continue what’s been going on here and ice the best possible team that we can and go for another championship, those are expectations I fully accept, that’s part of the challenge,” said Abrams.

“I’ve seen first hand, coming into this rink, the support the team has from the entire Quinte West region and I take the responsibility to keep the momentum going very seriously.” Since announcing his leave of the Wellington Dukes on Tuesday, Abrams said the overall response has been supportive. “I think anybody that knows me knows I put 18 years into that organization and worked hard every single day and I’ll do that here in Trenton, so at the end of the day it’s a great opportunity and I’m really excited about it,” he said. Stirling Native Todd Reid was announced as an assistant coach and Abrams said the second assistant coach

is I the works and will also be local. Abrams said he is looking forward to speaking with returning players and new recruits over the next few days as they prepare for the training camp and he can’t wait to get started. Owner Rod Finney said hiring a new coach was a tough decision that he and owner Sandy Smith had to make but one of the deciding factors for them was to hire local. “That for us is a big deal, we think there needs to be more from the community involved in the coaching aspect and they’re down here more and they’re here with the team and with the community, so that was one of our big decisions,” he said.John McDonald, director of hockey operations, said the hockey

Gods intervened when they received the call from Abrams vying for the position of head coach. “We received numerous applications for the position and some very high profile and outstanding people in the hockey world applied, it was incredible because of you fans down here and what you’ve done,” he said. Abrams’ record speaks for itself, he said. McDonald also took the time to clear up a couple of rumours he said he has heard floating around. No, the team is not being sold nor is it up for sale.

Outlaws clash in ‘Mud Slingin’ 50 race at Brighton Speedway Brighton - The World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series returned to Brighton Speedway for the first time in two years on Saturday night with Brandon Sheppard winning the 50lap race in his first career start at the local clay oval. The Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) and Brighton Automotive pro stocks were also in action with Chris Jones and Justin Ramsay claiming victory in their respective divisions. World of Outlaws Brandon Sheppard (No. 1) stole the lead from Frank Heckenast Jr. (No. 99) in traffic on Lap 10, then dominated the final 40 circuits to earn his first career win on Canadian soil and the 12th of his career with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series in the Mud Slingin’ 50. “This is a heck of a racetrack,” said Sheppard. “I’ve had quite a few first-time racetrack’s this year and this is another one that hasn’t disappointed me. I watched some video from the last time these guys were here and it looked really racy and I didn’t really know what to expect, but I thought it was amazing.

“Hats off to the track guys and everyone at Brighton.” Hometown driver Charlie Sandercock (No. 57) impressed with a seventh-place finish. The Trenton driver ran as high as second during the middle stage of the race. His car began to fade after a Lap 26 restart, but Sandercock’s impressive run caught the attention of fans as well as several of the tour regulars. Finishing a half lap behind race-winner Sheppard was Tyler Erb (No. 91) while Morgan Bagley (No. 14) came from ninth to finish third. Devin Moran (No. 9) and Rick Eckert (No. 7) completed the top-five. Southern Ontario Sprints The Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) made their second visit of 2017 with Shawn Sliter (No. 22) and April Wilson (No. 15aw) leading the 17-car field to the green in the 25-lap main. The pair battled back and forth for the opening four laps until Picton pilot Chris Jones (No. 11J) used the outside line to take the top position. In his first appearance at Brighton, Josh Shantz (No. 18) moved from his sixth starting place to the runner-up spot by Lap 10. He fol-

lowed leader Jones around the top of the track and closed to within a couple of car lengths, but was never able make a serious challenge for the lead. Jones held on to win for the first time in more than two seasons. Shantz finished a close second while Rick Wilson (No. 42w) drove from his eighth starting position to end the race in third. His brother, Mitch, and Jake Brown completed the top-five. Pro stocks Josh Read (No. 04) and Steven Stachura (No. 69) started on the front row of the 20-lap Brighton Automotive pro stock feature. Read claimed the early lead while Stachura struggled to get the car up to speed on the opening lap. The troubles would cause him to drop from the top-five before being involved in an

early backstretch accident. Read would lead the opening 10 laps, but gave way to point-leader Justin Ramsay (No. 03) just past the halfway point of the race. Ramsay checked out on the field from that point and collected his third win of the season and padded his points lead. Read maintained the second position while Doug Anderson (No. 72) finished third. Wade Purchase (No. 53) and Brandon Murrell (No. 19) finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

The Municipality of Brighton’s Community Events Committee upon reviewing nominations has named Brian Hickerson and the 1959 ENDHS Senior Boys Football Team co-recipients of the 2017 Alfred Gregg Sports Wall of Honour. Brian Hickerson is being inducted to the Alfred Gregg Sports Wall of Honour in the Builder Category in recognition of his tireless work and dedication to the sport of Amateur Baseball in the Municipality of Brighton. Brian has been a long time Brighton resident and has been involved as a coach and builder for the Brighton Amateur Baseball Association for over fifteen years, helping to grow the sport in the Municipality. He has mentored and coached many of the youth in the area who have played hardball and has passed his enthusiasm for the sport to all who are willing to learn. As well, Brian has been the President of the Brighton Amateur Baseball Association for the past 9+ years. Over time, Brian has selfishly contributed countless hours in volunteering for the association to help promote the sport of baseball and continue its growth of players and level of community support year after year. The 1959 East Northumberland District High School Boy’s Senior Football Team proved to be a dominant group of young men that year winning the 1959 Senior B COSSA Championships that year going undefeated with a 9-0 record. The team defeated 6 other area schools to get to the Bay of Quinte Championships where they played Marmora high school and won 7-3. The senior Trojans then played against Pickering for the COSSA championships and defeated the home town team 15-1 to win the title. The Trojans outscored their opponents that year by a combined 208-46 margin. As recognition of the team’s accomplishments, team members were presented with school jackets for their accomplishment from the Northumberland and District School Board.

Brandon Sheppard celebrates his first career win on Canadian soil and the 12th of his career with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Late Model Series in the Mud Slingin’ 50.

Both recipients be inducted into the wall of honour during the annual Municipal Canada Day Ceremonies held at 11am on July 1st in King Edward Park. For more information contact Director of Parks and Recreation, Jim Millar at 613-475-0302.

Hi-tech devices previewed for Emergency Services BY JACK EVANS

For at least one meeting, members of Hastings County’s Emergency Services Committee were distracted from response times, particularly in rural areas, in favour of new technology now being tested. That technology came in the form of a pair of special glasses displayed by EMS Director Doug Socha and tested out by those around the council chamber. The glasses include a builtin camera and computer screen, which can communicate data directly from the main ambulance vehicle and be transferred directly to hospitals or experts to assist in diagnosis or advice. They were on the vanguard of many new technologies that are part of a first response equipment review study the service is participating in. The devices are part of a major study by Defence Research Development Canada Centre. The study includes other project, such as use of UAVs, (drones) both for positive use in emergency cases and for countering threats in air space by illegal or

improper use. Socha said extensive training in proper use of such devics as drones would be part of the program. Committee members got quite a kick out of looking at the small screen at the top of the glasses. Another study under way is to monitor the required equipment all paramedics are legally required to carry to see if any could be safely left in the ambulance to decrease physical demands. Elsewhere in his report, Socha noted that the service in recent weeks has signed on with Prince Edward Community Care to support and co-operate on a new program to combat “isolation” among seniors. The program will also work with other emergency services, mail carries and neighbourhood volunteers and encourage seniors to be more involved in the community.

Julianne Psarris sees her first novel, just released, as “inspirational and mystical.” She is quick to add about the mysticism, “It’s open to every individual’s interpretation.” “The Faded Yellow Envelope” is about a man who loves to paint as an artist, but who is beset by problems such as alcohol and being a workaholic. Then he meets a pregnant woman on a tour of a slum area of Toronto and that meeting changes his life. He hears a strong inner voice, telling him to paint his own life, so his brush starts making strokes to reflect that. And by developing his life’s painting day by day, he overcomes his fears and his problems. He also helps enrich the lives of many around him. “I got most of my material for the story from dreams and wrote it over a period of 30 days,” said Psarris, a young woman, daughter of Mirijam Spoelstra, director of the Belleville Choral Society. This is her first book, she admits, something different from her careers so far as a criminologist, private detective

TRAVEL

On a Segway tour through Door County, Wisconsin BY JOHN M. SMITH

As many of my regular readers already know, if I’m exploring an area on two wheels, I usually ride a bicycle. However, on my recent visit to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, located in Door County, I decided to try a Segway tour for the first time. After all, it’s still two-wheeled transportation, but it’s battery-powered, so there’s no pedaling required. Besides, I’d encountered many such tours on my cycling excursions and had never tried the experience for myself, so I simply thought that it was time that I did. I soon discovered that this mode of transportation is definitely different than riding a bike – and the trick is in the balancing. Therefore, before beginning our adventure trek, we were given individual riding instructions. Each of us learned how to step up onto the platform properly, first holding the handlebar by one hand in the centre, and then quickly stepping up onto the platform, keeping feet planted in the centre of the platform, and then grasping the handlebar with two hands. It’s important to remain stable, for a forward movement will make the machine go forward and a backward pull will reverse this direction (which can be even more dangerous!). There are no brakes as such, so it’s very important to maintain this balance – and when I dismounted, it was important to step off very quickly while keeping one hand in the A Sturgeon Bay lighthouse that’s located by the pier. centre of the handlebar again, for the machine must be held at all times to around in the paved practice area and Josh, from “Segway the Door” avoid it taking off on its own.

we even ascended a hill and explored Big Hill Park. We all made it to the top and into the park - then came the descent! For me, the most difficult part of the ride was the steering, for I’m used to simply grabbing the handlebar of my bike and rather vigorously turning it in the direction that I want to go. However, a mere touch of a handlebar is all that is required on a Segway, with almost no steering effort, for it can make a 90 degree turn almost immediately. Therefore, this took some

getting used to! Our particular tour in Sturgeon Bay took place on a rather cold spring day, so we were all bundled up – and many of us even wore gloves. However, we all found this to be a pleasant, intriguing way to explore the area. We even stopped for a group photo by the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal (which bisects the Door County Peninsula and Lake Michigan). We also learned that several other segway tours were available in this area, including a lighthouse tour and a tour of Peninsula State Park. Door County is a tourist-friendly, thin peninsula of land that stretches invitingly out into the water for over 100 km., with Green Bay on one side and Lake Michigan on the other. It’s framed by about 500 km. of scenic shoreline, 11 lighthouses, 5 state parks, several enticing waterfront towns and villages, a plethora of sandy beaches and summer theatres, acres of orchards (primarily cherry and apple), and a great variety of accommodations, restaurants, and specialty shops. It’s so named because of its “Death’s Door”, a dangerous passage between the northern tip of Door County and Washington Island (where many shipwrecks are to be found). I used Sturgeon Bay as my base for my exploration (staying at the nearby Runaway Lodge), for it’s the county’s largest town (but with a population of less than 10,000). Indeed, this area reminds me of our very own Prince Edward County, for the permanent population is relatively small, but tourists arrive in droves in the summer. While in the Sturgeon Bay area, be sure to check out Door County Coffee & Tea (www.doorcountycoffee. com), for you’ll enjoy the aroma of more than 100 freshly roasted gourmet coffees upon entering, and you can even take a tour of its roasting facilities. It’s quite a popular place! Another interesting local destination is Renard’s Cheese Deli (www.renardscheese.com), and another popular tour is aboard the Door County Fireboat (www.ridethefireboat.com), an historic vessel that served the Chicago Fire Department for many years and is now used for tours of the Sturgeon Bay area. You’ll find that fish boils, cherries, and cheese curds are all very prevalent and popular in Door County. In fact, when I went to Sturgeon Bay’s Kitty O’Reilly’s Irish Pub to dine, I discovered that their Bloody Mary beverage was even embellished with cheese strips on top! Yes, cheese appears almost everywhere! For More Information: www.doorcounty.com (Travel and accommodation provided by Wisconsin Tourism)

Arts council faces financial crunch

Connect with us online Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/InsideBelleville On Twitter @InBelleville And online at www.InsideBelleville.com

BY JACK EVANS

Reviewing audited financial statements at the Quinte Arts Council’s annual meeting for 2016 in the Belleville Club Monday, Dan Dickinson, for Wilkinson and Co., described the figures as: “not as nice financial picture as last year,” but he added that the board of directors’ job is to “plan for the future, not dwell on what has happened.” His figures showed a deficit in the operating account of $21, 464, compared with a deficit last year of $19,339.He further suggested that it would really be serious of that were to happen two or three years in a row. Executive director Carol Feeney had made an appeal at last year’s meeting for more donations and financial support for what is acknowledged as one of Ontario’s largest and most successful arts councils. Dickenson’s report did not throw much of a damper on the council’s meeting held during its 50th anniversary ear, which board chair Jenny Woods described as a “great year.” Feeney also highlighted the success of various projects in past months. They all fitted into the agency’s mission to “cultivate creativity,” and more exciting projects are coming down the pipes for the rest of this year and next year. One example is a plein air painting project in September, part of a world-wide movement for the same period. Young arts enthusiasts from elementary and secondary schools will be allowed to work with experienced artists from across the council’s region, stretching from Brighton to Napanee and Prince Edward County to Bancroft. Also, this summer, a student volunteer from Iqualuit will be working in the arts office under arrangements with a federal agency. One complaint brought up under new business came from a former chair who served for several years, Manfred Koechlin, who noticed there is no history on the council’s many achievements during its 50 years on the website and something should be posted. All agreed and Woods said the board will make it a priority. Feeney’s report listed many highlights over the past year, many involving youth or student participation and events taking place throughout the council’s entire region of service, including seminars and concerts. The meeting also honoured a large number of past chairs over the years.

The Good Earth

Odds and Sods 5 - From Watering to xeriscaping

By Dan Clost Well, Gentle Reader, it’s time for another O&S column wherein short snippets are presented. There’re three reasons for an O&S. 1.) I have a lot of ideas, timely in

nature, that need to be put out there for your consideration and not enough space to fully develop each topic, 2.) some ideas simply need to be mentioned and your intelligence plus experience will fill in the blanks, and; 3.) along with many of my colleagues in horticulture sales, I’m way too tired to focus long enough on a thought to produce a coherent column. Today’s offering combines all three. O&S#1 How Much Water Do We Need? Ever since I began in this business the mantra has been “one inch of water per week.” In the last 20 years, this is the second “English spring” I’ve experienced in the Quinte area. The previous one was not accompanied by such serious flooding. From a gardening/estate management perspective, we’ve had almost enough water. The caveat to that is good drainage must be present. Do you remember, GR, such lush foliage, fast growing grass, and longer bloom periods as we are seeing this year? Perhaps if we think that

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

one inch is a minimum, our watering paradigms might change. O&S#2 Don’t Overwater! Hmm, how do we reconcile that with #1? Let’s not forget we have been experiencing serious drought conditions for the last five years, with last year being the worst in decades. One marvelously moist spring will not replenish water reserves. So, one method of getting enough water to your plants is to prevent the water in the ground from leaving except through roots. The easiest way to do this is to use mulch. O&S#3 Matching Plants to Historical Soil Moisture Levels. This is the simplest method of selecting the plants for your gardens: look at the native (livyer) or naturalized (from away) plants growing in your community. These are the chappies which have figured out if they’ll be getting enough water naturally. That doesn’t mean you have to purchase plain, unremarkably pretty shrubs and trees; simply determine the genus and

species of what is around you and then select an appealing cultivar from that group. O&S#4 Xeriscaping and Water. This jawbreak of a word is often translated as zero water. In fact, it deals with the conservation of water. You can have a water feature in a xeriscape as long as you take steps to conserve the water. Try a recirculating small pond or fountain, shaded by hostas, bananas or a clematis-covered arbor. Group plants with similar watering needs together- read their bios. O&S#5 Vegetables and Water. We were chatting with a fellow this past weekend and he was wondering why his peppers plants were turning black and rotting away. We quickly determined there was too much water but it was not due to the abundance of spring precipitation. We have this idea that plants need humusy soil with lots of moisture and, if we select plants according to 0&S#3, we’d be close to the mark. The consideration is that many of the

veggies, such as peppers, are from away and really like hot air and soil. Tomatoes like hot air and cool soil; incidentally, so do clematis. Again, read the bio of the plant and do your best to match your cultural practices with their requirements. O&S#6 Thank You Jean Clark. I have mentioned over the years that I collect gardening books. This Tweedonian dropped off a book at my workplace a little while ago: I was on vacation and did not receive it personally. Turns out my compadres were enjoying the read so I didn’t actually get in my hands until recently. Author Percy Thrower, MBE, was one of those logical and creative gardening types who generously shared his expertise and passion; his book is fascinating. Thank you, Jean. End Notes: harvesting is happening now- thanks to James and Audrey Potts for the reminder. Please go to your farmers’ markets and farm gate outlets.

Sugar, Harpdog Brown play the Old Church Saturday Blues aficionados rejoice. Lengendary blues artists Harpdog Brown and Sugar Brown are both appearing at The Old Church Theatre June 24 at 7:30 p.m. A gifted vocalist and harmonica player, Harpdog Brown is a three time Maple Blues Winner, Fraser Valley Music Award winner and the only Canadian to win the coveted Muddy Award. Harpdog is a Blues evangelist and plays to release the healing power that he knows the blues possesses. Sugar Brown could very well be called a Blues Renaissance man. A ‘graduate’ of

the West Side Chicago Blues style, Sugar Brown has travelled extensively, playing his version of modern Blues along the way, notably in the legendary, but now defunct, Delta Fish Market. He obtained his PhD in history from New York university in 2002 and now calls Toronto his home. The Old Church Theatre is located at 940 Bonisteel Road in Quinte West, and is a licenced venue with comfortable seating. Make a date to see these two giants of the blues. Advance tickets are available at www.oldchurch.ca or by calling Lesley Bonisteel at 613-848-1411

Red Cross withdraws from homeless support, County hears BY JACK EVANS

The regional Human Services Committee will act quickly to get a new provider for after hours services to homeless people, according to Hastings County Deputy-clerk Jim Duffin. He was commenting on a late communication to the committee’s June meeting from the Canadian Red Cross, which notified the county of the termination of an agreement the county and the Red Cross had in place for helping homeless people on holidays, weekends and late hours to find temporary accommodation. The service is obviously an essential one, the committee realized, as the Red Cross noted it had assisted 119 women, 83 families and 164 men during the past year alone. The program ensured that those experiencing homelessness, or an immediate emer-

gency, after regular office hours, are provided with support services until they can meet with an Ontario Works case worker the following business day. Duffin said the committee will be issuing a request for proposals to several other agencies known to provide similar services. The Red Cross explained that after review, the agency concluded the arrangement is no longer within their mandate and said it would not renew the agreement, which expires at the end of the year. Someone on the front lines of homelessness and who seesthe impact of that in the waiting list for transitional housing in her agency is Sandie Sidsworth, executive director for Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings and Prince Edward Branch. She said while the impact of the decision by the Red Cross to withdraw the support is un-

derstandable, given its mandate, but hoped there would soon be a re-weaving of the social net for homeless individuals. “Red Cross has done a really good job of being the stopgap agency without a shelter system here in the community,” said Sidsworth when asked about the impact of the announcement. “I suspect with Grace Inn beginning services in the fall that Red Cross would become less involved, anyway, in providing bed space for those homeless off the street and Red Cross can now refocus on emergency homelessness due to fire, flood or other events.” She said she hoped municipal support for whatever services the Red Cross provided will be redirected to the planned Grace Inn facility. “I am hoping that the dollars earmarked for Red Cross would transfer to the shelter in 2018.”

Celebrating 68 Years! B10 Section B - Thursday, June 22, 2017

Bossio pushes for tougher guidelines for air, water Mike Bossio, the Member of Parliament for Hastings—Lennox and Addington, called on the government to strengthen environmental protection legislation in order to safeguard human and environmental health. “I believe that people have a right to a healthy environment, and that should be enshrined in the Canadian Environmental Protection Act,” said Bossio. Bossio is a member of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development, which presented a report last week entitled “Healthy Environment, Healthy Canadians, Healthy Economy: Strengthening the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.” The report calls on the government to recognize and protect environmental rights – the right to clean air and water and a healthy and ecologically balanced environment; the obligation of non-discrimination in environmental protection; and procedural rights, including access to information, public participation in environmental decision-making and access to justice in environmental matters. “As a strong environmentalist, I have fought against the expansion of a megadump in our community for almost 20 years now,” said Bossio. “Protecting our drinking water from contamination is

what drove me to become a community organizer, and then pushed me to take the next step to run to be a Member of Parliament. Pushing for these kinds of protections is one of my top legislative goals as a Member of Parliament.” The existing legislation has now been in place for almost three decades. “We are long overdue to update this legislation and take into account new science and ideas around environmental law,” said Bossio. The Committee made 87 recommendations to the federal government, including prohibiting substances of very high concern unless industry can prove the substances can be used safely and there are no feasible substitutes; ensuring that vulnerable people are taken into consideration when the government assesses and manages new substances; implementing timelines throughout the Act to oblige action on toxic substances; and facilitating public participation in environmental decision-making and in enforcement of the Act. “We are not done yet,” said Bossio. “This is an important step in the legislative process, and I will keep pushing to ensure that we get the environmental protection we need to protect human health and have a healthy environment now, and for future generations.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ‘Appalling blanket statements’ of pride flag rebutted by gay man who’s endured far worse Dear Editor, This is my response to the Letter to the Editor “School flag flap; what about our rights?” My letter here could be entitled: “Appalling blanket statements require response, especially incorrect and prejudicial ones”. The writer of that letter, Ms. Cheryl Westall, makes great presumptions about many topics. I know that everyone has a right to their personal opinions. I also know that my response to her letter will not change, nor open her eyes to broaden her view on the issues she brings up. That realization makes me both sad and frustrated. Why? Because, I am assuming that she is a mature adult, who has lived a life of freedom in our wonderful country of Canada. The same cannot be said for many self-identifying LGBT+ people, who have, and still do, live a life of fear in society simply because we are not Heterosexual. I am appalled that she is telling ME what the Pride Flag represents. She states:

“the Pride Flag celebrates ONLY sexual preferences.” I would like to know the source of her research. The Pride Flag is now made up of 6 specific colours, each representing a unique attribute, and NOT ONE of them has anything to do with sexual practices. This can be easily researched at: https://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT_movement) To me the Pride Flag represents my desire for my rights as a human being to continue to grow, no matter if I am “Gay”, “Bi”, or otherwise. That means, in history (if you did your research), you would learn that not too long ago, two people of the same sex could not consider the luxury of sharing their lives together in the same home with ease. Can you say that you have ever worried about that fear? Along the same lines, have you ever been prevented from renting an apartment because the landlord believed you were Gay? How about being declined a job interview for the same reason? Have you ever walked out of the

staff lunchroom, only to hear wisecracks about “faggots” from others still seated at the table? I have, and not too long ago. As well, until recently, the same-sex Partner of an ill person in the hospital would be refused to visit them, either by the hospital, or the family. The Partner had no rights to visit their sick loved one. Have you had that experience? You state that you “find it offensive to have it shoved in [your] face”. What is “it” that you are referring to? Sex? Well, you need a major file update, and I shall list them in point form, just for your ease of understanding: 1) Some Gay people don’t have sex, just as some Heterosexuals. So, that ends that misconception. Therefore, we do not fly a flag that represents our sexual practices, for that would be absurd. 2) Many Heterosexuals are proud to display the Pride Flag, to show that they support the LGBT+ community, and also wish for their Human Rights to continue to grow. Notice that I used the term “Human Rights” here, not

“Special Rights for LGBT”, as you are suggesting. YOUR Human Rights, and MY Human Rights, are the same. Do you understand that? 3) To conclude, the Pride Flag was created and flown for the first time in 1978, in order to represent a symbol of pride in the Gay community. Yes, the LGBT community is Different, but, no more “Special” than the Heterosexual community. If you, as a “straight” woman (if I am making an assumption here, I do apologize), believe that we Gay people have nothing left to fight for (i.e. our Human Rights), then you are assuming that we are being treated with the same fairness, dignity and respect that you have lived with your entire life, without any difficulty. You could not be more wrong. Just watch the news on television, read a newspaper, view the Internet, listen to the radio, or visit your local library. By the way, Ms. Westall, I can imagine being in your shoes as a Heterosexual, enjoying all of society’s Human Rights

that come so automatically. For, my past includes a period when I shared my life with the opposite sex. However, I always had open eyes, ones that did not make presumptions about other peoples’ lifestyles. I read and learned in history that some communities have been (here’s that word again) – invalidated, to NOT expect the same rights and freedoms that you enjoy, and, clearly, take for granted. I now share my life with a wonderful man, or, do you need me to say A Person of the Same Sex, as to avoid “having it shoved in [your] face” as you stated in your letter. I certainly would not want to be guilty of that. When I wave the Pride flag, drive my pickup truck with it stuck on the tailgate, or raise it on my little flag pole, I am only doing so to say “I require my Human Rights”, just as I had when I lived a “Straight” lifestyle, one which you seem to take for granted.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Gay parents grateful for community acceptance Dear Editor, I am responding to Cheryl Westall’s anti-gay rant in her letterto-the-editor. She is enraged over a rainbow flag at Hillcrest School in Campbellford that represents inclusiveness for LGBTQ2+ students and members of our community. She claims her rights are being violated; this is complete and utter nonsense. I am curious to know what charter right is violated by seeing a rainbow flag. I encourage her to file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission if she truly thinks she has a case. We do not want her anti-LGBTQ2+ silence; we encourage people to speak out loudly and proudly. How else can we point out to our kids the people we want them to avoid? People can say whatever they want but there are also consequences to free speech. Like me telling Cheryl her opinion is not based on facts, scientific research or basic human decency. My husband, I and our children are immensely grateful to the overwhelming amount of support we receive from the people we encounter on a daily basis in this community. We will not allow the ugly views of an uneducated loud minority to tarnish the impeccable folks that make up the fabric of Trent Hills. We are greeted warmly and welcomed everywhere we go. We feel very fortunate to live here. We appreciate all of the wonderful people who have embraced our family and the village of people helping us raise two lovely girls. There is a popular meme that goes: “Gay pride was not born of a need to celebrate being gay, but our right to exist without persecution. So instead of wondering why there is not a straight pride movement, be thankful you don’t need one.” We may have won our equal rights under the law but we have not fully

achieved our equal place in Canadian Society. A few years ago I witnessed an act of bravery, two teenage boys holding hands while walking on Bridge Street in Campbellford. Until simply holding hands in public is no longer an act of bravery for gay couples, then we are not fully equal. We wait for the day when we can be ourselves in the open without the fear of violence or harsh admonishment. I am certain a loving peck or hug between Cheryl Westall and her spouse in public does not bring on any apprehension. We will not accept anyone who says LGBTQ2+ people do not belong. We rebuke anyone telling LGBTQ2+ children they do not matter or something is wrong with them. We will not hide who we are in order to make anyone with a distorted view feel comfortable in their ignorance. We love this community and are here to stay. I end with THANK YOU to Canada and specifically Trent Hills from the Smeraldo-Ojeda family and kudos to Hillcrest School for your open hearts and inclusiveness. Tom Smeraldo Warkworth

Anti-flag grandma weighs in on uproar once more Dear Editor Re Letter: “If you don’t want to be offended? Don’t look up.” In this response to the issue of the gay pride flag at Hillcrest Public School, the author apparently did not understand what I was trying to convey. I have nothing against lesbians, gays, bisexuals or transgenders. But flying a flag at a public institution that represents only a small minority of the student population, in conjunction with our national flag that does represents the entire population of the school, is inappropriate. It is disrespectful of our Maple Leaf, defies protocol and insults the idea of nationalism. And the rainbow flag does indeed, represent a small minority. I have ‘done the math’ as the author recommends and since the student population of that school is 275, I apologize that I ignored the 3/4 of a student when I said “one or two.” This school has not flown any other flag,

not one that represents any other minority or important cause, let alone one that represents the majority. So what makes gay pride so special? Nothing. It’s just another instance of the LGBT community putting themselves in the public eye. There have been class discussions about the rainbow flag at Hillcrest. And isn’t it sad that on the 150th anniversary of Canada, there have been no conversations about our country and it’s history, no flags flown for our indigenous people and no Canada150 flag flying at the school. Unfortunately not looking up doesn’t stop the offensive, ‘in your face’ activities of the pride community. One would need to be a deaf, blind hermit to avoid the exhibitionist activities in their parades and special events. Gays have not only come out of the closet, but have leaped out of the bedroom into the street. That is their privilege, but it has no place at a PUBLIC school. We already have sex education in health classes

in the school where the topics are introduced at the appropriate age level. Fouryear-old kindergarteners do not benefit from a discussion of sexual orientation. I wonder how the teacher explains what that rainbow flag stands for. Would you have a conversation about any sexual orientation in a kindergarten class? Has it not occurred to these people who go out of their way to advertise their sexual orientation that perhaps these constant activities and demands might promote animosity towards their cause. They already have all the rights of the rest of the population, so the constant exposure and lobbying is merely for publicity and will only serve to aggravate. They are like annoying children constantly demanding attention. I have a right to ‘look up’ to my country’s flag without seeing this pride flag. Cheryl Westall Campbellford

Editor’s Note The matter of the rainbow flag at Hillcrest School, Campbellford, has dominated discussion in the Letters to The Editor column here and in other publications for some weeks. As such, we’ll call the latest round of responses and retorts the last of the discussion on the topic in these pages in the interest of opening up the Letters section for other topics. All of our letters are posted online at insidebelleville. com. Thanks to our readers for their heartfelt and well-crafted engagement on the topic!

County excited about new affordable housing BY JACK EVANS

The term, “good news” was bandied about by several speakers as Hastings County Community and Housing Services Committee discussed new affordable housing proposals last week. One such proposal was for 18 units in a complex proposed for Sidney Street by developer MAPS as part of a 26unit apartment complex. The second was for six units in a complex by Pathways to Independence developer, for a total of 24 units. County staff explained that with funding from the province for affordable housing covering the cost, developers include such units into projects

to help lower their building costs. In response to the provincial government’s initiative, the committee had issued a request for proposals and selected those two developers from a field of four who entered. Several of the units will be assigned to people with special needs. The committee readily accepted the staff recommendation to pass on to county council for ratification. Another housing recommendation was to renew an agreement with the Quinte Living Centre to provide subsidies for 30 eligible seniors households. A portion of this will come directly from the county, but

the amount is already included in the current year’s budget. Additional provincial funding is expected in future years. Pointing to the need for such housing, the report from Erin Rivers, department head, showed outstanding applications for public housing standing at 1,519 applications, representing 2,576 people. The meeting also welcomed staffer Darren Burke as the new manager of Housing Services as of July, taking over from Pam Murphy, who was honoured with a retirement presentation at the meeting. It was a busy meeting for the tripartite committee, which waded through several reports and their attendant recommendations. The committee involves the county plus the cities of Belleville and Quinte West. Current chair is Coun. Garnet Thompson of Belleville.

CCS Supports All Cancers

Facing cancer is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. At the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) we can help you in many ways. When you need to talk; we are here to listen. When you have questions; we will help you find the answers. Did you know that cancer is more than 100 different diseases? No two cancers are the same. All types of cancer start in our cells. Our bodies are made up of many cells that are grouped together to form tissues and organs such as muscles, bones, the lungs and the liver. When these cells start to function abnormally they can cause a lump in the body called a tumour. It’s important to find cancer as early as possible, when it is usually smaller and easier to treat and there is less chance that the cancer has spread.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

At the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) we support any Canadian, affected by any type of cancer in all communities across Canada. We take a stand on important cancer issues at CCS and raise awareness on these issues to Canadians. We act at the local, provincial and national level. We do this so that we can help those with cancer survive longer, improve their quality of living with cancer and prevent others from getting cancer. No matter what type of cancer you have, CCS is here to help. CCS offers two ways to access peer support from CCS. You can visit our online community CancerConnection.ca/ ParlonsCancer.ca, or you can phone in to our telephone peer support program, which will connect with trained volunteers who listen, provide hope, offer encouragement and share ideas for coping.

Enough grief in this world already Dear Editor, Thank you for “Intimidation won’t silence local media” and the clear invitation to readers to express their views. I hope many people in Brampton are putting their council “on notice”. Freedom of the press is fundamental to a free nation. Need we say more? Media accountability does strongly exist and perhaps Brampton Councillors should invite the Brampton Guardian to make a presentation in this regard. I neglected to express my view on your “She sells seething hate for Islam” and the subsequent response from the gentleman in Texas. (How ironic that the well respected and insightful Gwynne Dyer was on the same page as “She sells...”, with his opinion on Islamist terrorism: Who’s to blame? A must read.) My views on Islam and “inferior cultures” differ greatly from Stefanie MacWilliams, but I was even more deeply disturbed by her reference to Canada as a “shitty country.” Need we say more? Judging from my own experi-

ence, this lady may be feeling inferior herself and would do well to focus on more positive matters. She could focus on her desire to move to the U.S. and maybe the Texas gentleman who shares her views could help her. I make this suggestion in kindness as I know how it feels to live in torment. I discovered that there is enough grief in the world through accident, illness and natural disasters. My negative thoughts and actions were not needed. In a word, Love is the key to happiness for individuals and nations. The Golden Rule is the guide. People around the world are fighting for fairness. Greed is the real culprit. Hate that! Mary Dube, Stirling P.S - “Stirling Taxpayer upset about comments over sewage problems.” Yes, I had a flooded basement, but it was not due to a failure of the municipal system. Stirling is responsible. Stirling must have insurance. Grace Dykstra and her neighbours should be compensated.
