Dragon boaters roar in fun, colourful festival By Sarah Hyatt
Brighton – From physiotherapists, to police officers and cadets, people from all walks of life showed their community spirit this weekend at the annual Brighton Dragon Boat Club Community Festival. The Bay Street Marina was splashed with colour on Saturday, as nine teams total competed throughout the day for fun and to raise funds for the Brighton Auxiliary Rescue Unit (BARU). For seven years now, the community festival has invited everyday groups of people – not just racing teams, to participate and give the sport a try, while fundraising for a community cause. It’s estimated the festival raised about $1,000 this year, to help the search and rescue unit and team of volunteers with equipment purchases and to sustain operations. “Often these groups will form just for the purpose of this festival,” explained Lucie Cossette, festival committee co-ordinator. And with the nine groups Saturday came dozens of supporters and spectators. Some teams came from Trenton and others, from as far as Wellington. Coach Cathy Hewton leads the Ancient Mariners in a tight race against the Top Dawgs Saturday, during the D division playoffs. The Top Dawgs defeated the Mariners with a time of 1:10:51, compared to 1:10:85. Photo by Sarah Hyatt.

Tickets to Canada’s Wonderland weren’t so wonderful
Brighton-Cramahe-Trent Hills – A Campbellford senior and a Hastings senior recognized a ‘Canada Revenue Agency’ call as a scam and reported it to Northumberland OPP June 16. No personal information was given by either resident and no money was lost. They were advised to call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-4958501 as it keeps statistics on current fraud schemes. Police settled a family dispute that originated at a palliative care unit in Trent Hills where an ailing family member was being cared for. The disputed property, jewelry, was left with a neutral family member until eventual ownership could be determined. A Brighton resident reported buying Canada’s Wonderland tickets from an online site named Red Group Deals. When she tried to enter the park she was advised that they were fraudulent tickets. Police remind the public to purchase tickets only from sites known to be valid, and to watch for errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation. Overseas scam artists often

Dragon boaters roar in fun, colourful festival
Continued from page 1
It’s a pretty unique event in the way in which it unites people – like when the Pegasus team, comprised of cadets faced off against the Ancient Mariners, a team comprised of Brighton Probus Club members, explained Cathy Hewton. Hewton was one of the coaches Saturday. Newcomers and participants of this year’s festival were also treated to some of the best weather to date too.
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect Saturday – with the sun shining and no wind, it made for the perfect race day, said Cossette. This certainly hasn’t always been the case. Last year, teams didn’t get to finish competing because of the wind. “This has been a total success, with the most ideal weather ever and community spirit has been excellent,” said Cossette. Brighton Dragon Boat Club president, Doug Harrison also particularly
enjoyed seeing an abundance of smiles Saturday as spectators cheered on their friends and family during the races. “It appears as though good times were had by all,” he said. And anyone who came for a cardio workout, well they weren’t let down either. Each team raced twice in the morning prior to division finals. From those times, teams were
ranked fastest to slowest and four divisions were created. Taking the top spot this year for the overall winner based on total time and champions of the A division was Not N’Sync, who faced off against Lola’s Lightning in the final round. Not N’Sync also took home the best spirit award Saturday.
Claiming victory in the division B championship was the Just Smile and Wave team, which featured Jim Millar, director of parks and recreation for Brighton. The Mercenaries from Trenton took the win for the C division and the cadets’ team, Pegasus, prevailed in the D division.

Brighton to investigate the feasibility of building a water tower
By John Campbell
Brighton – Anxious to avoid further disruptions caused by breaches in the water main that services the entire town, council voted Monday to consider an alternative to twinning the pipe: constructing a water tower. Craig Brooks, manager of water systems for Lakefront Utility Services Inc., recommended looking at alternative designs for the water distribution system A tower would would serve as an alternate supply of water if anything were to happen to the line that runs from the water plant into town, as well as provide a point in the system for secondary chlorination “to further ensure disinfection of the water at all times,” he said.
Brooks told council that “new towers are engineered in such a way they are aesthetically pleasing, and quite often ... become a landmark for the community.” “They cost the least of any storage option,” can be relocated at any time and are “expandable if needed; they also “replace the need for excess pumpage from the water treatment facility,” Brooks said. The recommendation to “further investigate the feasibility, cost and operational benefits to constructing and connecting a water tower to the water distribution system” was rejected by some council members. Councillor Roger McMurray argued “the overwhelming number of water problems associated with adjacent
roadway construction ... in no way provides the motivation for parallel lines or additional storage capacity.” Although some might consider the interruptions in service and consequent boil water notices “troublesome,” he considered them “to be part of the cost of maintaining a safe, clean and available drinking water system.” “It’s a road of folly ... I hope we don’t go down,” chimed in Councillor Steve Baker. Mayor Mark Walas said council had directed staff to determine the cost of twinning the line, “knowing it was going to be a major construction project” and “a huge expense.” He said if there is any interruption in the main line into the town, a tower is “perhaps a less expensive option of
connected” to the main transmission line that affect the entire town when one breaks. “That tower can go in many different places and serve us many different ways at some point in the future.” In a recorded vote, McMurray, Martinello and Baker voted against the proposal and Ostrander, and councillors Laura Vink and Mary Tadman for. Walas broke the tie by voting in favour.

OPINION
Brexit: The long, loud silence Parliament met in London Monday, so that MPs of every party could express their horror and disgust at the murder last Thursday of their colleague Jo Cox, MP for Batley and Spen in West Yorkshire. And on Monday everybody did, includGwynne Dyer ing the leaders of the Brexit campaign, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove. But here’s the odd thing: up to that point, the Brexit leaders had said nothing about it. Nothing. Not a word, for more than three days. The political campaign for the referendum next Thursday on Britain’s continued membership in the European Union was immediately suspended for two days after Cox’s murder, but other politicians didn’t go to ground like Johson, Gove and their friends. Prime Minister David Cameron, the leader of Johnson and Gove’s own Conservative Party, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, and a host of their fellow members of parliament gathered in Parliament Square on Friday to light candles and lay flowers in tribute to the slain MP, but the Brexit leaders were conspicuous by their absence. Cameron, Corbyn and many other senior politicians went on TV to condemn what had happened, but Johnson, Gove and their rather embarrassing ally Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), did not (and you may be sure that they were asked to – that’s what journalists do). They simply vanished from public view, without so much as a ritual statement that their “thoughts and prayers” were with Jo Cox’s family. There are only two possible explanations for this curious non-event. One is that space aliens abducted Johnson, Gove and Farage on Thursday for their usual nefarious purposes, and returned them to Earth on Sunday with their memories wiped clean of anal probes (for otherwise they would surely have mentioned it). The other is that their media advisers told them that the only safe course was to say nothing. The Brexiteers were in a difficult position, because Jo Cox was a high-profile campaigner for Remain, the campaign urging Britons to stay in the EU, and the man who killed her, Tommy Mair, was clearly of the opposite persuasion. As he shot and stabbed her, according to eyewitnesses, he was shouting “Britain first” or “Put Britain first.” His motive became even clearer on Saturday, when he was brought before a judge to be
Brighton Independent 250 Sidney Street Belleville, ON K8P 3Z3 Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747
charged. Asked to state his name, he replied that it is “Death to Traitors, Freedom for Britain.” The second half of this slogan is, of course, at the heart of the “Leave” campaign’s argument for Brexit. Obviously Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Nigel Farage knew nothing about Mair’s intentions, nor approved of them in any way. But people could reasonably argue that the increasingly nasty tone of the “Leave” campaign may have served as a trigger for Mair’s crime. In the early stages of the campaign, the debate was mostly about the relative economic advantages of leaving or staying in the EU, but the “Leave” side clearly lost that argument, and shifted the debate instead onto the hot-button topic of immigration. This involved a good deal of lying, like the ridiculous Leave claim that Turkey was shortly going to become an EU member, giving 70 million Turks the right to move to Britain. (Turkey has no realistic chance of becoming an EU member in the foreseeable future, and if it ever did fulfill the entrance requirements, Britain could simply veto it.) The dog-whistle racism of Leave’s anti-immigration campaign was at its worst in a poster that UKIP’s Nigel Farage unveiled just two hours before Cox was murdered, showing an endless column of young men of Middle Eastern appearance marching into Europe and captioned “Breaking Point”. In other words, quit the EU or Britain too will be drowned in a sea of Muslim fake refugees. The poster was immediately condemned even by Farage’s allies (Michael Gove said he “shuddered” when he saw it) but Gove did NOT go on to say that Middle Eastern refugees who are let in by other EU countries do not gain the right to enter Britain. To admit that would undermine the whole anti-immigrant strategy of the Leave campaign. That’s something Gove didn’t want to be questioned on. All the more, did he not want to be questioned on possible causal links between the Leave campaign’s general strategy of claiming that the British people are enslaved by faceless “EU bureaucrats in Brussels” and Mair’s cry of “Freedom for Britain.” Neither did any of his Leave colleagues. So the Brexit leaders took their media managers’ advice and hid themselves away after the assassination of Jo Cox. When Tommy Mair gave his name as “Death to Traitors, Freedom for Britain” in court on Saturday, they hid for another day, fearing guilt by association. Now they are back out in the open, hoping nobody noticed their absence. And maybe they didn’t, because the British media certainly abstained from comment on it. But it is also possible that quite a few ordinary voters did notice it, and drew their own conclusions from it. We’ll find out on Friday.

Brighton Independent - Thursday, June 23, 2016
Our own neighbourhood toxic horror Editorial - Chris Malette Some who have been reading or watching news lately will know that the Grassy Narrows area north of Kenora is in the news and in trouble, again. Recent reports have shown monstrously high levels of mercury in fish and in the rivers in the area, a toxic legacy of a century-old pulp mill. The Toronto Star Monday followed up with an exclusive report that was shocking in what it revealed – mill workers were routinely dumping barrels of mercury and waste into disposal pits at the mill site as late as the1970s. From the report: An email written by Kas Glowacki went to the Grassy Narrows chief last August, who sent it to the environment ministry. “I was amazed at the amount of mercury that was pooling around my shovel as I dumped it into the drums,” wrote Glowacki, who said he worked at the Dryden Paper mill in 1972. Glowacki, now living in Alberta, was essentially told by the environment ministry there was nothing to be concerned about. “We filled I would say approximately 50+ drums of the salt and mercury mixture,” Glowacki’s email report read. One need not get too smug or over-confident about the safety of many of our own waterways and wetlands in the Quinte, Centre Hastings and North Hastings regions. Take the Deloro site on Highway 7 between Madoc and Marmora. The Canadian Mining Journal reported on the work done by Golder Associates to clean up the site in recent years. “Golder’s role as General Contractor (2011-2013) included installing over 26 hectares of geosynthetics, 300,000 tonnes of fill material and planting more than 10,000 poplar trees at the large tailings area. At the industrial mining area, contaminated wastes were collected and re-vegetation planned,” reported the journal. Having covered the early years of the cleanup and the studies to identify impacts of the arsenic and other toxic residues and stockpiles left on the site, I can tell you people downstream were and remain worried about that toxic legacy. There were sediment tests done in Moira Lake and the Moira River, downstream from Deloro, that showed traces of arsenic in the lake and river bottoms. There were even samples that showed arsenic suspected to have travelled downstream in the Moira all the way to the mouth of the river.
In the 1980s, sediment samples showed arsenic in the river mouth sediment at Belleville. It should be noted, the provincial health ministry has determined it is safe to eat fish from the lake, the river and the Bay of Quinte, as it is also safe to swim in those waters. As noted in the Canadian Miner Journal’s February-March issue of 2015, “Nearly a century’s worth of hazardous by-products and residues - a complex blend of toxic compounds; metals like cobalt, copper, nickel; and low-level radioactive wastes (were left on the site). Each of these materials causing significant environmental impact at the site, including contamination of the site’s soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater, posing a potential threat to nearby communities and watercourses. At Deloro, the remediation, apart from removing all traces of the former mill buildings and works, largely is about burying the tailings and sealing it off to ensure no more arsenic or other hazardous materials run off into the Moira River or nearby watercourses. The ministry’s progress report at Deloro shows there have been great strides made in cleaning up the site and stemming the steady tide of arsenic running off into the river. But, as the reports show, it’s not fully contained. Before (an arsenic-removing water treatment) plant started in 1983, about 52 kilograms of arsenic were going into Moira River each day. In 2015, the plant stopped nearly 2.5 tonnes of arsenic from going into the Moira River in one year. “Arsenic going into the Moira River is down by 80 per cent,” said the report. But, the toxic legacy still puts arsenic and other contaminants into the river and nearby Young’s Creek, despite the best efforts of the governmentmandated cleanup. There are examples of Grassy Narrows and Deloro all across the country, unfortunately. They are the deadly hangover from an era when little thought was given, little knowledge was had and little care was taken in protecting the environment in the quest for mineral wealth. Next time someone complains about restrictive regulations imposed on industry, mining and lumber sectors for pollution control and they call the likes of David Suzuki a tree-hugger and a froglicker, remind them of Grassy Narrows and our own Deloro.

so to speak. We have a great community thanks to and through many different people and initiatives.” A strong downtown core and growing additions such as the farmers’ market, for instance, continue to make Brighton a great place to live, Walas noted. Natural attractions such as Presqu’ile Bay and the waterfront also make Brighton unique and beautiful. And community groups have built on this, the mayor added, to continue to offer all sorts of recreational activities and generate interest on the bay, ultimately encouraging more attraction to the municipality. “We build on each other,” that’s how Brighton has evolved, said Walas. Development in terms of housing and subdivisions also remains strong within the municipality, with a number of projects currently on the go. “It’s a very good cycle we’re in,” said Walas. Such developments are key in terms of economics, attraction of new residents, sustaining residential growth and employment for local residents, added Walas. Nearby, Cobourg ranked 22 on the list, Port Hope 85 and Belleville 166.
ENSS principal returning to Cobourg high school where he began career By John Campbell Brighton – Jeff Kawzenuk’s career as an educator will come full circle when the principal of East Northumberland Secondary School assumes the same role at the high school where he started out as a teacher 31 years ago. Kawzenuk, 53, is taking over as head of Cobourg Collegiate Institute, which was known as Cobourg District Collegiate Institute East when he taught there, long before it amalgamated with CDCI West two years ago because of declining enrolment at both schools. “I was very fortunate to have been here for eight years,” he said of his time as ENSS principal, during which the school surpassed the million-dollar mark in fundraising for the Terry
Fox Foundation and opened its new Thompson-Todd Community Track and Sportsfield, built at a cost of about $1.5 million. “It’s been wonderful, ENSS is a very special school,” he said, a “flagship” for the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board that has “a very good reputation. We have great kids, we have wonderful teachers.” Kawzenuk said “what separates ENSS from any other school” is how “very supportive” the local community is, it’s “really like no other.” “No matter what function you put on you get support,” whether it’s raising millions for cancer research and a new track facility, which is “really quite remarkable” for a community the size of Brighton, or putting on a musical
every two years and having “6,500 come through the door” during its run, he said. It’s “pretty incredible.” Numerous construction projects were carried out while Kawzenuk was principal, including changes made to the library and science lab. “We renovated the school basically from top to bottom,” he said. ENSS also offers six high skills majors and five dual credit courses, “there’s not another school in the province that offers that,” he added. “There are just so many things that I believe make us ... unique.” Kawzenuk will be moving from the school board’s third largest school with more than 1,000 students and 66 teachers to one that’s slightly larger. “Education has changed a lot” in his more than three decades of being a teacher and a d m i n i s t r a t o r, Kawzenuk said, but “I’m not so sure that kids have changed. Kids are kids.” His “stress re-
duction” is to work out in the gym ev- two years in Brighton before becomery day and to operate a landscaping ing principal at Bowmanville High business in the summer from his home School. in Colborne where he and his wife Maureen, an elementary teacher, reside. Kawzenuk said his plan is to stay in the profession for another three years or so, until the youngest of his three children completes university. “I love coming to work,” he said. “I’m happy doing what I do ... I’ve been very, very lucky that my life has turned out the way it has.” K a w z e n u k ’s SALE STARTS JUNE 24TH replacement at Got questions about your prescr iption?

Brighton Independent - Thursday, June 23, 2016
By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Participants of this year’s 19th Annual Caring Fore Our Community Golf Tournament have made the difference, say staff. Hosted on June 8, at the Timber Ridge Golf Course in Brighton, this year’s tournament drew in more than 100 participants who hit the links despite poor weather. The golf tournament is Community Care Northumberland’s largest event fundraiser of the year, supporting programming like Meals on Wheels and also, hospice palliative care services, which ultimately help people remain independent at home longer. “We’re very grateful our 119 participants braved the cold and stayed for the day,� said regional community relations co-ordinator, Alicia Vandine. The goal was to raise $15,000. From the Meals on Wheels program, to help with transportation, social and recreational programs for seniors, friendly visiting and telephone security checks and more – funds raised through the tournament are crucial to ensuring sustainability of a vast array of services currently offered to Northumberland residents through Community Care. “This tournament helps support absolutely all of our programming,� said Vandine.

And thanks to this year’s participants and sponsors, Vandine reports about $16,000 was raised. “We’re very pleased with the outcome,� added the co-ordinator. A shotgun start initiated the June 8 tournament, which featured a best ball/scramble format and new this year, people had the chance to honour and recognize loved ones through cart sponsorship. Awards were given out to the top men and women’s teams, top mixed team, for the longest drive and closest to the pin, and also, for the winner of this year’s putting contest. Taking the top spot for the ladies were Iris Crowder, Sandra Di’llio, Linda Martinell and Sharon Ruttan. For the men, the Upper Canada Steel Team, including Michael Wayland, John Jennings, and Peter and Nick Lorenz took first place. Wayland also grabbed the top award for closest to the pin. Jan and Gord Atkinson, Barb Phillips, and Rob Cochrane triumphed in the top mixed team category. Planning will commence in early July for next year’s big 20th. “It’s going to be exciting,� said Vandine. “We’ve got some new ideas and folks should check in on our website in the fall, when we’ll be releasing some highlights.� Information will be available via www.commcare.ca/golf.html.

Turning the tide one step at a time for Brighton’s Grannies By John Campbell
TICO#50007364
Brighton – A short walk that goes a long way to helping others – that’s the Stride To Turn The Tide the Apple Route Grannies hold annually to help grandmothers in Africa raise families ravaged by AIDS. Sharon Graham estimates the group has raised about $10,000 over the six years it has held the event, with the most recent taking place June 11. Twenty-six people took part in the walk from Memorial Park to No Frills and back, raising more than $2,000, with money still coming in, she said. All the money goes straight to the Stephen Lewis Foundation which currently funds 140 projects in Africa, such as setting up women’s cooperatives to provide employment and helping to educate grandmothers in the proper administration of drugs to treat HIV-AIDS. “Globally there is an increasing focus on getting lifesaving medications to Africa,” Graham said. “Currently only 50 per cent of those in need of those medications have access to them.” Please see “Turning” on page 16

Turning the tide one step at a time for Brighton’s Grannies Continued from page 15
“They have come a long way politically” and are now “a real agent of change in their own communities,” willing and able to stand up to local
governments that deny them their rights. “They’re powerful which is a good news story but they’re really afraid [Canadian donors are] going to stop giving money,” Graham said
The resolve of Apple Route Grannies to provide help remains strong. In addition to holding the Stride To Turn the Tide, the group also raises money through a Dare to Dine meal that its 20 members make for friends,
relatives and guests who give a donation. There evening includes a guest speaker. The last dinner, in January, raised $5,000. Other fundraisers include a euchre luncheon and, for the first time, a Christmas bake and book sale last
year. The motto for the Grandmothers-toGrandmothers Campaign is “We will not rest until they can rest.” “I don’t know a better way of summing it up,” Graham said. “We just continue to be very inspired by their stories.”

Library hopes to make hay June is from health unit closure By John Campbell Brighton – With the local health unit set to close its office in the municipal building, the door has opened for Brighton’s public library to get the space it desperately needs to expand. Council voted 4-3 Monday to find out how that could be done by awarding The Ventin Group a contract for architectural design services for the renovation of the administration building/ library on Alice Street The fee was set at $43,750 based on a construction budget of $500,000, or 8.75 per cent of the cost should it go higher. Councillor Steve Baker tried to persuade his colleagues to consider an alternative use of the offices the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit will vacate the end of the month: make them available for the recruitment of doctors. “We have a unique opportunity here” to address possibly “the number one priority right now” for council by converting that space into a “modern medical facility,” he said. It would also “give the taxpayers of this municipality another paying tenant” to replace the one that’s leaving. His motion to alter the task being given the Brantford firm was defeated, with Mayor Mark Walas casting the deciding vote after Deputy Mayor Brian Ostrander and Councillors Mary Tadman and Laura Vink voted against the change, and Baker and councillors John Marti-
nello and Roger McMurray voted in favour. The split was the same when a majority of council subsequently voted to award the contract as presented. “The municipality needs to resolve some real rural infrastructure issues such as the sewage treatment plant before investing in an undefined infrastructure project at unknown cost that would be compared to the now defunct BCTC [Brighton Creative Trade Centre, which would have included the library],” McMurray said in arguing against the motion. Martinello said it’s “a waste of money” when funds are needed to recruit doctors to the area. Walas responded by pointing out a number of business locations are available in town where new doctors could start practices, “so there’s ample space.” Ostrander said he has long advocated “the municipality should not be in the commercial landlord business” and he expressed hope it “moves forward with an expanded library project.” Tadman said “there’s a great need” for expansion of the library. Walas said afterwards The Ventin Group, which “has done a lot of library projects elsewhere across Ontario,” will look at the entire building and see what changes could be made to give “a better flow to the library and a better flow to the administration.” “We look forward to them bringing ... some fresh ideas for us and ending up with a better operating facility.”

Many of her peers chose to tackle issues such as healthy living and mental health. Morgan was the lone student to attempt to dissect the issue of retirement within the community and province of Ontario. Considering the demographics of Brighton, Morgan sees this as a prevalent issue within the community, she says. From her research, she now knows Ontario is one of the most expensive provinces to retire in, with the average monthly costs surpassing more than $3,000. It’s startling, she admitted, as she compared retirement living costs to other provinces, which sometimes were double in Ontario. “This can cause a lot of stress on families,” said Morgan. So what’s the message Morgan is looking to share? The best time to start saving for your future was yesterday – youth included. The Grade 11 student has been sharing her recent school report and message at work, at the local No Frills, at Sobey’s and she’s also visited with residents at the lodge, to learn more and talk options for better preparation for retirement. To ensure future generations will be able to afford retirement living, Morgan says saving for retirement and better payment options need to be

looked at more closely starting now and for years to come. This is important, even for teenagers, added Morgan. The Grade 11 high school student says she sees the province’s recent expansion of pension coverage through the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan (ORPP) as a step in the right direction. Morgan, who’s also interested in pursuing a career in the health care
field, agrees strengthening of the retirement income system is necessary for future living. The Ministry of Finance reports, studies show many of today’s workers aren’t saving enough to maintain their standard of living in retirement. Pension coverage is said to be low for many and also, that only one-infour younger workers between the ages of 25 and 34 currently participate in a workplace pension plan.

Brighton’s Own
Cultivating theatrical talent with impresario Jack Boyagian By Vic Schukov Outside of a loving parent, few people can impact the life of a young person like a teacher, arguable the most noble profession of all. Who doesn’t remember
at least one special mentor from school? Well, Jack Boyagian is one such wellremembered Brighton luminary. Born in Istanbul, Turkey, his family came to Canada when he was two years old and settled in St. Catharines. After earning an appropriate degree in education at the University of Western Ontario, Boyagian devoted 27 years as a teacher of English literature and theatre at East
Northumberland Secondary School. He retired less than two years ago, as head of the high school’s English department. But not before leaving an indelible legacy on his students. For the last 17 years, as a member of Cobourg’s esteemed Northumberland Players, he continues to imprint his love of live theatre upon the hearts and souls of all who work with him. While at ENSS, his stage reputation preceded him. Originally preferring to keep his theatre work and English teaching separate, the dynamics changed for him once
he got involved at ENSS: “When their theatre director retired,â€? says Boyagian, “they asked me to teach some classes because Brighton is a very heavy arts school. I agreed to coach the grades 9 and 10. ENSS has always been known for its musical productions, so I started an after-school drama club to do more edgy, smaller plays on social issues like bullying.â€? Boyagian became a popular and innovative fixture in the school’s drama program. These days, he devotes most of his time to the Players, as the longest standing board member of 12 years, and President and Artistic Director for the last two inclusive. “It is an amazing place,â€? he says. “We do more shows than many professional groups.â€?

membership: A dazzling, true representation of county talent, The Northumberland Players draw from 250 volunteers and more than 100 actors from Brighton, Warkworth, Port Hope and Cobourg. Boyagian is like a symphony conductor, distilling the best performances from a wealth of talent. He dislikes the term amateur, preferring to call his people community players. “I am blessed,� says Boyagian. “I get to apply my creativity both on stage and off with some of the most interesting, quirky and creative Northumberland people from all walks of life and ages. It’s pretty magical, and very fulfilling. We live in a hot bed of artists, and it is so rewarding to be surrounded with people who want to get better. Conversely, you get better when you are surrounded by good, strong people.� The grand impresario says that a whole new generation of talented performers is emerging in Northumberland. The Northumberland Players new season starts in September. Visit their website at http://www.northumberlandplayers.ca.

Colborne teen to pitch for Georgian Southwestern State University By John Campbell
Shannon Gibson,18, recently accepted a fouryear scholarship to play softball for Georgia Southwestern State University’s softball team. She’s the niece of Cramahe Township Councillor Tim Gilligan. Photo submitted.
Colborne – A 60-mph fastball among an assortment of pitches and the ability to play shortstop when not on the mound has translated into a four-year, $160,000 softball scholarship at an American university for a Colborne teenager. Shannon Gibson recently signed with Georgia Southwestern State University after impressing school officials in a workout with the team last November. They also had video of her pitching that she and her father, Don Gibson, put together to help make up their minds. Gibson, a Grade 12 student at St. Mary’s Secondary School in Cobourg, spent “a day in the life of a university student” while at GSW in Americus last fall. “They were interested in me, [and] from there the offer came about,” Gibson said. “It was an opportunity that I couldn’t turn down.” She’ll be studying nursing at Georgia, with a view of becoming a
surgical nurse or nurse practitioner after graduation. She plans to “ride [the experience] for as long as I can ... and see where that takes me after my four years.” Gibson started playing ball when she was 10, pitching for the Cobourg Angels. When she turned 16, she joined the Whitby Eagles, where she remained until this year when she earned the role of starting pitcher with the Brampton Blazers, a Tier 1 division team that plays strictly tournaments, in Ontario and the United States. “It’s the highest division possible for women’s softball,” Gibson said. The team has played three tournaments thus far, with its best performance being a record of 5-1-1 at Stratford. Gibson also played for Team Ontario last year when it toured We’d the United
States. “I’ve always loved the game,” having become interested in softball at a young age, she said. She’s also “always taken it seriously,” working hard to improve her skills. Playing softball has taught her time management, as she juggles school, work – 17 hours a week at Foodland in Cobourg – and twoand-a-half hour practices in Brampton twice a week, not to mention tournaments on weekends. “I’m always on the go, I’m always busy,” Gibson said. “I am looking forward to what these next few months have in store for me.”
Her favourite pitch is a changeup, to go with her fastball, drop and rise. “It keeps them on their toes, keeps them off-balance,” she said. Gibson said she has been “very fortunate and very lucky for all the opportunities” that have come her way with the help of her parents, which included spending hours in the backyard with her dad who was “always out there throwing the ball around with me.”

Carson’s wish is about to come true – and now he’s going to help another By Stephen Petrick Foxboro – Carson McKenna’s wish is about to come true. And now his family and friends are paying it forward, so that another child battling a life-threatening illness can benefit from Make-A-Wish. The McKenna family gathered with employees of the County Bus Service in Foxboro on Wednesday, June 15 to celebrate funds raised through a recent yard sale and raffle. The event, on May 28 at the bus depot on Ashley Street, raised $11,136, with significant help from a roughly $4,500 donation from employees
of Highway 2 business Rose Scale (where Carson’s uncle works). The McKenna family is connected to the Bus Depot business through Carson’s grandmother, Judy. Judy and Carson’s mother Cara, as well as several other employees at the County Bus Service, often hold a fundraising breakfast once a year. This year, they decided to do a yard sale to raise funds for Make-A-Wish, a charity that raises funds to grant wishes and enrich life experiences for children facing life-threatening illnesses. They chose to fundraise for that organization, because Carson recently
qualified to have his wish fulfilled. The family is set to go to Disney World this fall and stay at a special resort as part of a tour package called Give Kids the World. The funds raised on May 28 don’t actually fund Carson’s trip; they allow Make-A-Wish to send another child on a similar adventure. The fact that the McKenna family and friends were able to raise those funds absolutely thrilled Janet-Lee Ferris, a fund development manager from Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario who travelled from Ottawa to pick up the cheque and thank the people behind it.
“I’ve never heard of a garage sale and a community coming together like this. It’s vital to have community support like this,” she said, noting that Make-A-Wish does not receive government funding, and all its programs are supported by fundraisers. Those involved in the yard sale told stories about how people came out to purchase items that were being sold for 50 cents, but paid with $5 or $10 bills and said “keep the change.” The support is touching for Carson’s parents, Cara and Jeremy McKenna and Carson’s sister Olivia. Carson, at eight years old, has lived most of his life with cancer. He has
brain tumours, his family explained, and he’s been battling them since about age 2. The family travels to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, where doctors monitor Carson closely. “Every month is different. Every week is different,” Cara said. Despite facing this challenge, Carson is an energetic boy. He attends Tyendinaga Public School and has a busy life. Following Wednesday’s event, he was off to a ball hockey game. He said when he goes to Disney World he hopes to do the rides and scuba dive.
With supporters in back, Carson McKenna says thanks to those who donated to a campaign to raise funds for Make-A-Wish. To his left is his sister Olivia and to the right is Janet-Lee Ferris of Make-A-Wish. Photo by Stephen Petrick
Quinte Innovation Showcase showcases entrepreneurial spirit By Stephen Petrick
Belleville – Passion, commitment and courage. Those are traits that many people who gathered for a special event in Belleville on Wednesday, June 15 had in common. Several well-known and emerging entrepreneurs gathered for the first ever Bay of Quinte Innovation Showcase. It was held at the former Nortel office complex, now the home of the Canadian Hybrid Innovation Resource Platform (CHIRP), at 250 Sidney St. The event allowed business people to hear inspiring speeches from both new and veteran entrepreneurs who have started business in the area. It also allowed them to hear about QuinteVation, a new organization to be based out of the CHRIP building that will runs programs and roundtables to foster business growth. After the formal presentations, business people mingled for hours in the building’s spectacular atrium. The event contributed to the optimism that seems to be flourishing in Belleville’s business community. The CHIRP concept, launched a year ago,
had been initially intended to be a place where international businesses can come and set up shop to test the North American market. But, the sprawling, modern facility also provides space for local home-grown businesses and it’s the home for Loyalist College’s Entrepreneurial Studies Business Launch program, taught by Bob Millard. Millard said Wednesday’s event was successful, as more than 100 people came out and got to see the CHIRP complex. It will, said Millard, hopefully soon be a place that’s a beehive of activity, with business people working together to fuel the Bay of Quinte economy. He said he hopes the building will appear to be in “chaos.” “Chaos is what attracts business,” he explained, noting that in some cases no walls will separate those working in the building. If the building is a noisy, busy place, it will inspire people to get working – and working together. “They collaborate,” Millard continued. Millard stressed that passion, commitment and courage are all traits that an entrepreneur needs to be successful. However, he also noted it’s important for business people to work together because when you’re an entrepreneur you’re going to
have good days and bad ones. On the bad days, the other people you work with can pick you up and give you that motivation to keep going. “You can’t do this on your own and you don’t want to try,” he said. One of the ESBL program’s recent graduates attended the event and told guests about her fitness business. Maria Calzado has launched a business called Mobile Fitness Innovations. It’s somewhat unique in that clients don’t have to go to her to train, she comes to them. She said the event was a great opportunity for her to network with other well-known entrepreneurs and she’s looking forward to gaining new clients in Belleville. She said having a business is like having a baby. “You have to let it grow up and you have to know when to let it go,” she said, with a smile. She agreed that an entrepreneur has to be passionate and she said one of the things she likes best about running her own business, is that she has the ability to control her goals and make adjustments to her business as she goes along – that’s something that an employee of a business cannot do. Her advice to other entrepreneurs is “never give up. No quitting.”

Warkworth studio launch showcases first CD release
By Sue Dickens
Warkworth – Wheatland Records is a new venture launched this month by Stephen Rapos and Dimitri Papatheodorou. These two accomplished musicians have made the Warkworth area their home and when they moved here they brought with them a real mix of talent and expertise. “We’ve been working on this for a year,” commented Papatheodorou. Rapos brings more than 30 years of experience in the music business as performer, composer and arranger. He has played with “many of the finest musicians in Canada” including a seven-year stint as bassist and arranger for Canadian singersongwriter Ron Sexsmith. Papatheodorou is a musician, visual artist and architect whose music moniker is D.PAPA_T., and he sings about the disparities in the world, gender and sexual identity, the environment and the ambiguities of love. Located at the home of Rapos, Wheatland Records is named after the historic 1851 stone farmhouse and is a studio which boasts a live performance room with seating for 40. This independent label is now showcasing their first release which
is available on iTunes and is called Fellow Traveller. The CD can also be streamed online on CBC Music. Fellow Traveller features the songwriting of D.PAPA_T. and the title track is a duet he signs with local music sensation Olivia Rapos, who can often be seen performing locally with her dad. Papatheodorou and Rapos agree that the record business has seen a lot of change recently. “There is very little business in the making of records unless you are a superstar, but there is a need for writing and recording and fostering new talent, and by new talent I don’t mean young people only,” Papatheodorou explained. “We have different skill sets to foster this, so we thought why not enhance the already existing music scene in Trent Hills,” he added. By pooling their resources the duo has set themselves up to further the talent of others. “We are open to receiving applications from other artists, artists that are performers, singers and artists that write,” Papatheodorou said. “We would like the venture to grow and be longterm.” The CD is available at Gary Wheatland Records is a new venture launched this month by accomplished musicians Stephen Rapos, left, and Dimitri Papatheodorou of Warkworth. Mulcahey’s NuWork Gallery, Their studio has released its first CD called Fellow Traveller which features Papatheodorou (D.PAPA_T.) and Rapos’ daughter Olivia on the title track. Warkworth.

Drone demo in Stirling showed landowners how to view property from the air By Terry McNamee Stirling—A drone in the air can save landowners time and money when used as a tool to view a large property such as a farm or woodlot. During a special active learning day on Saturday, June 18, members of the Ontario Woodlot Association (Quinte Chapter) found out that a drone is a very different machine from the old-style remote controlled model aircraft. They visited Chris Droog’s farm in Stirling and learned just how effective a drone can be in seeing a large section of land in a short amount of time as Droog flew his quadcopter 500 feet over his farm. The machine makes so little noise that some animals simply ignore it, although some become somewhat alarmed by the low buzzing noise the drone makes, he said. Droog, a computer technician with considerable experience working with drone technology, also talked about the permits needed and legal restrictions on using drones. Prior to visiting the Droog farm, participants spent the morning at the Arts Centre Hastings in Madoc, where they heard a lecture by Nick January, Geographic Information System (GIS) coordinator for the County of Hastings. He demonstrated what a person can learn about one’s property by using the Hastings County Community Online Maps System. For more information about the Quinte Chapter of the Chris Droog (right) demonstrated how he uses a drone to see and videograph properties during a special gathering of the Quinte Chapter of the Ontario Woodlot Association at Ontario Woodlot Association, go to the group’s website at the Droog farm in Stirling on Saturday, June 18. ontariowoodlot.com/quinte-chapter.

Gordon Pitts chronicles history of Moira Lake By Diane Sherman Madoc - Canadian author Gordon Pitts, a retired Globe and Mail business columnist, set economics aside to pursue his passion for the history of Moira Lake, where his family settled 140 years ago. From his cottage at Pitts Landing, he began searching out descendants of the original families who settled around the lake. He accounts the history of the lake back to the 1600s and highlights three, First Nation residents, who left their legacy with lake dwellers, who shared childhood stories of their skills and compassion. First Nation settlers Henry Mitchell, Alec Francis and the mysterious, Queen Dido are all featured, along with some notorious characters,
mining magnates and a baron who started a fox farm, and documents those who were lost or drowned on the lake. After the passing of 96-yearold matriarch Reta Pitts in 2013, Gord, wife Elaine, sister Gayle and her husband Grant Ketcheson decided it was time to capture the stories before they were lost. “We realized we couldn’t lose any more history.” Pitts said some of the 95-100 contributors are now in their 90s, He took their stories and edited them, while Grant worked with the Moira Lake Property Owners Association (MLPOA) to track down people and historic photos. Gordon Pitts is scheduled to present the book at the Madoc library, July 9 at 11 a.m. There The family of Gordon Pitts settled on Moira Lake 140 years ago. The retired business columnist has compiled a history of the lake as told to him by over 90 contributors. He shares the book at the Madoc library on July 9. Photo by Diane Sherman will be copies on sale there.

Pickle ball open house in Hastings shows off growing sport By Bill Freeman Hastings – The fast-growing sport of pickle ball has found a home at the Hastings Field House, and the curious learned more about the racket sport during a special open house recently here. Already well-established in the United States, the sport, a mix of tennis, badminton and ping pong, has crossed the border and is putting down firm roots in Canada. Hastings resident Jill Lawless and her partner Jim are addicted to the sport, discovering it during winter trips to the southern United States, and they were thrilled to learn that the racket courts at the new Hastings Field House would include regulation pickle ball lines and that equipment would be available on site. She and Jim now play regularly with people who also enjoy the sport and love the fact that Hastings has real courts. One night, Jill says, several people from Keene joined them. There is a pickle ball group in Keene which uses a church hall. “Although younger people are becoming involved in the sport it is perfect for seniors, especially those who used to play tennis but find the large court and overhand serving a little too much now,” Jill said. “There are tournament players who take the game very seriously, but the majority of us like to play just for challenge, the exercise and the social aspect,” she adds. Jill says their pickle ball group now has eight to 10 regular players; they meet Monday night from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Thursday morning from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. “We welcome new players and are willing to teach the game to anyone who is interested.” The field house has equipment, so all players need to bring Pickle Ball is an increasingly popular sport and has taken root in Hastings where players like Sue Lyght, Doug Preston, Ann Preston, Judy Lawless and Jim Victor enjoy the game. are comfortable clothing and clean indoor running-court shoes.

Rena Rutherford January 22, 1917- June 27, 2016 God looked around his garden and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest, With the help of his angels they flew you to your heavenly place. God’s garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best, He knew you were suffering, he knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well on Earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills too hard to climb, He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be Thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you the day God called you home. Always in our hearts.

Pardon Me, Boy, Is That The Chattanooga Choo Choo? By John M. Smith Back in 1942, even before my time (so that’s OLD), the very first gold record (78-rpm) was declared to be “The Chattanooga Choo Choo”, a big-band/swing tune performed by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. It was actually written in 1941 (music and lyrics by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon), so the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. The song opens with a conversation between a passenger and a shoeshine boy: “Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?” “Track 29!” “Boy, you can give me a shine.” As the song continues, we learn that the passenger is about to board the steam locomotive to return to his gal in Tennessee: “When you hear the whistle blowin’ eight to the bar Then you know that Tennessee is not very far Shovel all the coal in Gotta keep it rollin’ Woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are.” The train would’ve eventually arrived at Chattanooga’s Terminal Station, but that former railroad station is now a resort/hotel, a member of the Historic Hotels of America, and is known as the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel. It has gone through major renovations and upgrades and not only has hotel rooms, but also offers an entertainment venue, restaurants, and retail spaces. I recently visited this historic station, and I learned that it’s even possible to stay as a hotel guest in one of the refurbished, restored sleeper cars, so I just had to check this out. As I wandered around the hotel’s grounds, I found aptly named Glen Miller Gardens. I also found an old steam locomotive on display – and, of
course, it was named the Chattanooga Choo soot. The worst part of the ride was, of course, If you prefer a longer train ride, the Tennessee Choo. Furthermore, I learned that the Chatta- when we went back through that tunnel, for the Valley Railroad offers a day trip to Chickamaunooga Choo Choo Hotel offers a “Chattanooga fumes were very strong!

In fact, it’s a rather stimulating adventure trek, for it includes the crossing of four bridges and passing through the pre-Civil War Missionary Ridge Tunnel (completed in 1858). At the half way point, at East Chattanooga, passengers disembark and watch as the steam locomotive boards a turntable, is turned around on that table, and reverses directions before our very eyes. It’s quite fascinating to watch! Then the locomotive goes to the other end of the train and is re-attached for the return journey. However, before the train trip continues, the passengers are taken into the railroad restoration shop that’s located there – for a tour of the antique equipment and to receive some pertinent history of the railroad in this area. When we re-boarded, my particular adventure really began in earnest, for I was allowed to actually get on the steam locomotive itself. I climbed up on a bench that was next to the coal, so I had a great view as the coal was shovelled. It was a very hot day, but both the shoveller and the engineer wore long sleeves, for the sparks would fly – and there was plenty of At work on the locomotive during the ride on the Mission Ridge Local.

back last year provided another object lesson. The tulip trees, Liriodendron tulipfera, went to sleep and stayed there. We pulled 30 or so out of our tree blocks and sent them down south to the home farm: we knew they weren’t dead but since they looked like vertical stacks of firewood we couldn’t have them subconsciously altering the perceptions of customers. Those trees recovered just fine and were returned to us around the end of August and have all since sold. None have been returned. So, even though many plants are, indeed, on the fringe they can recover from some serious setbacks if we are patient enough to allow them time. From this, I can segue into Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) and the aforementioned
buddleia. These two are the most commonly and mistakenly returned plant to the nursery. They look like dead sticks longer than any other plant in the garden- except for the ones that have actually died and are actually dead sticks-because they don’t leaf out until mid-June or so, especially if the ground was cool and wet in May. Mind you, there are some plants, for whatever reason, are not going to thrive on your piece of this good earth. If, like Liz and her gaillardia, you have several unsuccessful attempts with a particular plant, move on and grow something else. Repeated actions in the hope of a different outcome accomplish nothing more than fill the coffers of the garden centre.
End notes: Our area is blessed with a strong musical tradition and amazing talent. Recently, Mrs. Clost and I took in a Calum Graham concert at Riverside Music- thanks Jason and Bruce for setting that up. This young gentleman easily has the potential to be a globally renowned guitarist. However, what made the evening for everyone is when high school student, Sophie Macpherson (sp?) was invited onstage to play the Don Ross/ Calum Graham piece” 12:34.” Flawless execution but the chemistry between the two performers- and pure joy at making wonderful musicis what we all want to see at concerts. We look forward to seeing Sophie in her own show.

It seems that every year is a bad year for one plant or another. A few years ago just about every buddleia (butterfly bush) took the big sleep. Last year it looked like many of the Carolinian trees, e.g. tulip tree, were following the same path to the great compost pile in the sky...or behind the shed; wherever you have it. But, they came back, didn’t they? There are two points I learned from this. The first is that we should expect some plants to die over the winter for any number of reasons. One is that not all plants are suited to survive on the fringes of our climate. We know the plant boffins have been industriously expanding the range of many a plant, well beyond their native habitat, so they have a reasonable chance of survival in the Great White North. For
example, the buddleia has a reasonable chance, especially if you cover it up with dry mulch after freeze-up. This hardy chappie looked upon as a pernicious weed way down south, can shiver through a -18˚C evening. However, line up three or more days of that cold and it gives up the ghost. The second is that even the hardiest of our plants can succumb to prolonged periods of harsh climate. In the mid-80’s, we experienced a cold snap of epic proportions where the temps plummeted to -28˚C/F and stayed there for close to a week. I was spending my days pruning apple trees and I clearly recall hearing the loud cracks of limbs being blown apart from within. Quinte and Brighton areas lost thousands of fruit trees that year, even though they had breezed through several decades of our frosty winters. At Morning Star we lost two 80 year old Baxters, most of a block of Tolman Sweets, and the last remaining block of Snows (aka Fameuse.)

Moira Lake bass anglers aimed for speed
By Diane Sherman
Madoc - Highway 62 passes though Madoc. Coming up from the south, it crests on a knoll just before the busy intersection with Seymour Street, where children and families cross the road to go to the skate park, splash pad or Arts Centre. Throughout the week, school students stop at the Mac‘s Milk plaza for snacks, and spend their lunchtime with friends at the park. It‘s a busy spot, with no crosswalk or speed signs posted. Bass derby organizers, Bob Bancroft, Doug and Sharon Phillips, Tom Tunnicliff, Jim Beatty and Brad Phillips set a goal to purchase a radar speed indicator sign for traffic coming into the village from Highway 62 south. The sign they hope to purchase costs $5,000. Doug Phillips said Sunday after the Saturday bass derby, the group thinks they will be able to purchase it this year. „We‘re pretty confident, after expenses, we should have enough, but that doesn‘t mean we won‘t have a bass derby next year,” he noted. „We will have a fourth and put the proceeds toward another cause.“ More than 100 anglers put up $25 for the cause on opening day of bass season, July 18, registering at Baileys Cottages on the north shore of upper Moira Lake. The biggest fish was caught by Nick Pepe of London, Ontario, who bought a cottage up the river near Bronson’s Rapids in 1977. He took home $500 for a 4.1 pound catch. Tony Reid came in second for $300, and Paul Sarris got $250 for a 3.15 pound bass. Hidden weight prizes went to Adam Wells and John Hill. Funds were also raised on raffles of items donated by Tom Tunnicliff, Bailey‘s Cottages, Bob and Steve Bancroft, Krista Thompson, Motion Specialties, Chris‘s Live Bait and Madoc Farm Supply. Once purchased, the sign will be installed and maintained First prize of $500 went to long-time Moira Lake cottager, Nick Pepe of London, Ontario, He is congratulated by Bass Derby committee members, Brad Phillips and Bob Bancroft on by the municipal public works department. the left and Sharon and Doug Phillips of Bailey‘s Cottages.

Authority fears possible low water problem Quinte Conservation last week wrestled with a potential low water level problem and may soon have to reactivate its standing Low Water Advisory Committee. That committee is mandated by provincial legislation, but authority staffer Christine McClure, in her report to the board Thursday, suggested committee membership should be tweaked. She reported that rainfalls during May were only around 50 per cent of normal and flow levels are also decreasing. But at the time of her report, they were not critical enough to declare a low water emergency and activate the committee. Provincial guidelines require representation from Ontario ministries such as Environment, Agriculture, and Natural Resources, plus conservation authorities, municipal leaders and segments that have been or might be impacted by low levels, such as farmers, golf course operators, perhaps boaters or fishermen. A broader base of community partners was recommended in her report, which was adopted. The agency also adopted a report from staff member Paul McCoy, who recommended acceptance of an offered parcel of land north of Belleville along the banks of the Moira River. McCoy said the parcel is small in size, but is a key part of a special terrain that qualifies as one of the most significant ANSIs (area of natural or scientific interest ) of its type in Ontario. He reported several steep and often hidden drop-offs in the small area which could pose hazards for public use and added that if the authority takes on the property, it should not be open to the public. He summed up that the key reason to accept the gift would be to preserve a portion of a significant ANSI. The authority will not meet until Sept. 22 unless there is a need for an emergency session.

Trent Hills community rallies around Sophie in battle against rare cancer By Bill Freeman Hastings – The Trent Hills community is rallying around young Sophie O’Brien in her fight against retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer which is threatening the one-yearold’s life. “The retinoblastoma is in both eyes; the right eye has the larger tumour than the left [and] both retinas are detached because of the tumours,” says Sophie’s grandmother Laura Delciancio of Hastings. “She’s such a happy baby; she’s looking at you and you don’t know she’s not seeing you. We don’t know how long her vision’s been like that.” The daughter of Jordan and Chris O’Brien is in the care of a pediatric oncology team at Sick Kids Hospital where she’s made frequent trips from Belleville and has been brav-
ing waves of chemotherapy and post-chemo injections. Sophie will lose her right eye but the family hopes chemo will help save the left eye and give surgeons a chance to safely remove the tumour and then reattach the retina to “give her some sort of vision.” “We don’t know if that’s a longshot or not. We just don’t know,” Laura says. The diagnosis came at the same time Sophie’s father Chris took over ownership of a grocery store in Cornwall and was preparing to move the family east from Belleville where Jordan’s a nurse. It has been a fearful and stressful time for the family with Chris commuting to Toronto as often as he can when Jordan and Sophie are at Sick Kids. “Jordan’s a very strong girl, but it’s been hard,” Laura said. “Now Sophie’s anemic. She’s
living in a dangerous situation.” The family has received financial and moral support from the Isaac Foundation for things like travel and lodging and access to a Victoria Fund Grant which helps cover some of the expense of post chemo injections. “[Jordan] doesn’t want to be a burden to anyone with things like that so they’ve been kind of doing this all on their own,” said Laura. Laura and a team of helpers are planning a “huge fundraiser” June 25 at the Hastings Civic Centre. “The donations are amazing,” said Laura. “I can’t say enough about how people have come forward. I’m so grateful. This community is going to be the saving grace of Sophie. It’s a sad day sometimes but we’re trying to keep as upbeat as we can. We can beat this, I’m sure The Trent Hills community is rallying around one-year-old Sophie O’Brien in her battle against retinoblastoma. A fundraiser we can.” will be held June 25 at the Hastings Civic Centre from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Retired Chief Justice Patrick LeSage attends Jack Vance Golf Tournament
By Brett Mann
Stoco – Among the numerous dignitaries attending the ninth annual Jack Vance Golf Tournament at the Poplars Golf Course in Stoco was Retired Chief Justice Patrick LeSage of the Superior Court of Ontario. Justice LeSage was born and raised in Tweed and he shared some memories and observations. Recalling his long and distinguished legal career, LeSage remarked, “I’ve presided in every county or district courthouse in Ontario.” Following graduation from high school in Tweed
and receiving a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Ottawa, he returned to Tweed to work in the family fuel business for a year and a half before studying law at Osgoode Hall and being called to the Bar in 1963. In 1971 LeSage was made Chief Crown Attorney for all of Ontario. In his 29-year-long legal career, he served the last seven years as Chief Justice of the Superior Court of Ontario. LeSage currently lives in Toronto, but was “born here, grew up here. A practicing Roman Catholic, LeSage has been featured on the CBC ra-
dio program Tapestry and he invites people who are interested to listen to a pod-cast of the hour-long program. Recalling a Tweed, childhood he remembered, “I played hockey, but not very well. I played football with Jack Vance, but again, not well.” Interestingly his parentage reflects the ethnic and cultural makeup of Tweed in earlier times with a French father and an Irish mother. Justice LeSage maintains a Tweed connection. “I don’t get back nearly as often as I’d like. We had a cottage here about six years ago. I probably get here three or four times a year.”
Perhaps the most famous/notorious case LeSage has presided over was that of killer Paul Bernardo who is currently serving a life sentence in penitentiary. “As he should,” LeSage observes. Despite a professional life time dealing with law-breakers, LeSage remains free from bitterness or cynicism. “You do see a cross section [of society], you see a mixture. You get a lot of people who are not there because they’re evil, they’re there because often do stupid things, they do foolish things. They’re not people who make a life of crime.”
