Teen Pokémon player looks for Pikachu, finds fallen senior By Sarah Hyatt
16-year-old Jared Morton helped an injured senior, who he spotted while playing Pokémon Go. Submitted Photo.
Brighton – The Pokémon Go phenomenon has officially reached Brighton – and while some deride the craze as a waste of time, one Brighton senior is thankful there are teens wandering in search of virtual creatures. In the last week, Reuters reported the game’s been blamed for an illegal border crossing involving two youth playing Pokémon Go. Unaware of their surroundings, the pair made an illegal border crossing from Canada into the United States. Upon download, the app reminds users to be alert at all times. “Stay aware of your surroundings,” it reads. In Brighton, 16-year-old Jared Morton took that message seriously. Last week, he decided to download the game and give it a try and took a quick walk around the block to see what all the craze was about. He was a fan of the Pokémon franchise when he was younger. Jared has been ill for a couple months and this was actually one of the first times he’s got outside, said his mom, Michelle Luchner. Jared is awaiting surgery in coming weeks. The 16-year-old East Northumberland Secondary School student was making his way down Ontario Street, in search of Pokémon, when he came across an elderly woman who had fallen in her carport. “At first, I didn’t really realize what was going on,” he said. “I thought maybe she was cleaning.” It took Jared a minute as he observed the woman and looked closer, to realize she had fallen down and was hurt. He raced over to help. Another gentleman from the military had stopped to lend a hand too.
“I’m so happy we saw her,” he said. “She seemed okay, but she said she was laying there on the floor for about an hour. That’s upsetting. I’m just happy we got there when we did.” Jared and his mom waited with the woman until an ambulance arrived, to take the woman to hospital. “There was quite a bit of blood – she had hit the back of her head,” said Jared. “You could see it through her hair.” Luchner raced down from Napoleon Street as fast as she could after hearing from her son. “I imagine it was pretty upsetting and scary for him,” she said. “To see her covered in blood like that.” Jared called his mom right away after identifying the woman was in need of help. “We got her up in a chair once I got down there and swept up some broken glass,” Luchner said. “She must have tripped or something. She was quite aware actually, asking for her purse and initially insisting on not going to the hospital. I think we were very lucky to sort of stumble on this happening.” Jared and his mom admit, it’s a little coincidental on the one day Jared decides to get outside this would happen. “You know, we just thought we’d see how the app worked,” explained Luchner. “Even I was like ‘oh my God – there’s little Pokémon jumping around on my table.’ It’s pretty neat.” The game, which sends players out into the world to search for virtual characters, is the latest installment in the Pokémon franchise. Beginning on the Nintendo screen in the mid-90s, the long-loved creatures have since made appearances on TV, trading cards and also reached the big screen. Now, people using mobile devices and with just a swipe of a finger on their phone screen can find Pokémon on the streets, in parks or businesses even.

New Brighton CAO sees town as a ‘good challenge’ By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – After a month at the helm, chief administrative officer Bill Watson says he and staff remain motivated to continue making progress and get the municipality running more efficiently. Watson officially assumed his duties as the new CAO for the municipality on June 14. This is his first run as CAO. “Brighton’s a beautiful little town,” he said in a recent interview. An engineer for more than 20 years
and with an extensive background in construction, the former public works and public utilities veteran says the decision to take on his new role was the next logical step in his career. “This was in my locale and it seemed like a good fit,” he said. “Yes, there are some issues within the municipality, but I saw this opportunity also as a good challenge.” While originally from the Pickering-Ajax region, Watson has spent the last 15 or so years in the Garden Hill area.
Over the years, he’s held positions in Peterborough, Whitby and most recently in the Town of Cobourg, where he served the last five years, as director of public works. Reflecting on the last month or so, Watson says, “everyone’s been very welcoming,” staff, the public and council included. The new CAO has been working diligently side-by-side with staff and council to identify needs and holes in the community and organizational review will continue over the next couple months, to get the municipal-

ity running as efficiently as possible, so all the work that needs to get done, can get done, he continued. “Staff has been very helpful and council’s been good too,” he added, in assisting the new CAO with his transition and getting him up to speed on current issues within the community. And despite previous staffing challenges and consultants filling in the gaps for some key major roles within the municipality, the CAO says the corporation has been managed quite well over the course of the last year. Brighton was previously without a CAO for about 15 months, since March 5, 2015. “Even without a planning manager, director of public works or manager of environmental services, staff have been able to pull together and with consultants, fill in gaps in the most efficient way possible. They’ve been very welcoming and confident and competent – it makes it pleasant. Yes, there’s lots of work, but no emergencies yet – so, so far, so
good.” Getting things organized and the municipality running more efficiently will remain top priorities in coming months. Also at the top of the list, the new CAO says are resolving issues such as water pollution control and ensuring provincial compliance. Beyond those items, both the strategic and development processes will be looked at, Watson noted. Staff and council relationships will remain a priority. “You know, whatever happened in the past, I do, as I said, believe staff and council have already begun to turn that corner.” Finally, Watson says, ensuring taxpayers are getting the most for their tax dollars will remain a top concern. “Within a municipality, we can do this,” he said. “We’re the government closest to the people…this means we’re also closest to scrutiny, but overall council and staff have been doing a good job.”

OPINION
Solar Impulse
As I write this, Solar Impulse is already in the air on the last 48-hour leg of its remarkable journey: the first round-theworld flight by an aircraft that uses no fuel except sunlight. By the time you read it, pilot Piccard Gwynne Dyer Bertrand will probably have landed in Abu Dhabi, to global acclaim. And you can’t help wondering: is this the future of flight? There are about 100,000 commercial flights per day, and the aviation industry burns just under 300 billion litres of fuel each year. Commercial aircraft are responsible for about 2 percent of the human race’s carbon dioxide emissions. So electric airplanes that burn no fossil fuel would be very helpful, and Bertrand Piccard thinks that this is indeed the future. “I make the bet that in 10 years we will have electric aeroplanes flying with 50 passengers for short to medium-haul flights,” he said. “You can fly with no pollution and no noise, and land in urban airports, making no disturbance for the neighbours ... And maybe sometime people will say this all started with a crazy idea of flying around the world in a solar aeroplane, and the outcome was useful for everyone.” But Solar Impulse, with the wing-span of a jumbo jet, can carry just one person. Photoelectric cells on the wings power it during the day, and recharge the batteries that take it through the night (barely) – but its average speed is only 75 km/hr, and it took 17 flights and fifteen months to travel around the world, so we are still a long way from the Promised Land. You can’t just scale Solar Impulse up and get an electric-powered commercial aircraft that carries 50 people, let alone the 500 passengers that they can jam into a long-haul 747 or A380. The basic problem is coming up with light-weight, high-capacity “traction” batteries – ones designed to provide the main power for large vehicles for a period of hours – and progress on this front has been very slow. Traction batteries are still nowhere near the weight-to-power ratio that would be needed for an airliner, and there are no

signs of an imminent breakthrough. Solar Impulse may equal a Boeing 747 in size, but it weighs only 2 tonnes. (The empty weight of a 747 is 129 tonnes.) So we should not expect electric airliners any time soon, and people are not going to stop flying voluntarily. Is there any hope out there? Maybe so. Aviation fuel has always been derived from petroleum because no other energy source provides as much power for the same weight. (There are no coal-fired aircraft.) But what the engines need is just a high-octane fuel; they don’t care where it comes from. There are two other places it might come from. One way is by growing oil-rich algae in giant vats (salt water or waste-water will do), and crushing it to separate the oil, which can then be refined to extract an octane fuel in the usual way. Exxon Mobil and Synthetic Genomics have spent $100 million on this project since 2009, but they still have much work to do in creating the fast-growing, high-oil-content algae that would make it commercially viable. The other way is by taking carbon-dioxide directly out of the air, and using a catalyst to combine it with hydrogen to create an octane fuel. Several teams have working prototypes of machines that will extract the carbon dioxide from the air at a modest cost in energy, and the hydrogen can be obtained just by splitting water molecules. There is another potential environmental problem linked to fuel-burning aircraft, and that is the “contrails” (condensation trails) they often leave behind them. The contrails are formed by water vapour from the engine exhaust that freezes when the humidity is high and the air temperature is low, usually in the upper troposphere. They can last a long time and spread out until they turn into cirrus clouds covering large parts of the sky. Such clouds let most sunlight pass through inbound, but reflect heat back to the surface in the night-time. How big an impact contrails have on global warming is still not settled, but it may be as big as the effect of carbon dioxide from aviation fuel. Conventional aircraft can only avoid contrails by flying lower, which means higher fuel consumption and much more turbulence – but electric aircraft would not leave contrails at any altitude. So congratulations to Bertrand Piccard and Solar Impulse’s other pilot, Andre Borschberg.

Editorial - Chris Malette If you think politics in the United States has gone crazy-town, look no further than a pair of municipal councils, locally, where staff, volunteer boards and some on council themselves feel they’re under siege. In Brighton, senior staff raised concerns with council in the spring of 2016 of “deteriorating relations” between staff and council. To its credit, council there agreed to bring in human resources consultants to see if there was any basis for the complaints. After all, more than one small municipal council has effectively told its staff to ‘like it or lump it’ with little or no action all across Ontario over the years. Last week, Ian McArdle, from Pesce and Associates Human Resources Consultants, delivered his report on the relationship between council and staff within the municipality and findings publicly. He was also on hand to answer any questions of council. The consultants, during examination of the issue “of the tenor and tone of the working relationship,” between council and municipal staff, concluded “there is a significant governance issue in the municipality.” McArdle’s report states staff have felt ‘disrespected, devalued and demeaned by the actions, inactions and statements of council.’ “This report is good news for the municipality in the sense that we’re very pleased to see our staff are comfortable enough to come forward and to bring this information to our council,” said Mayor Mark Walas. Council put forth a motion to receive the report and also, to further direct staff to arrange for training for all members of council to fulfill recommendations outlined in the report. In essence, the tenor at town hall is tense, but no one can or would dare identify who is chiefly responsible or why it is so. “There is a fairly broad range of attitudes, from supportive to ambivalent, among council members respecting the importance of the role of staff members in the municipality,” the report said. Some know full well who and why the relationships are strained and want to see it fixed. Others have apparently shrugged, said “Meh,” and moved on. Then we have a strange and equally strained situation in Stirling, where Mayor Rod Cooney and council seem to be fighting running battles with everyone from a now-departed CAO to the latest accusations of a putsch and stacking of the municipality’s library board. In a story we published last week, the fractious nature of relations between council and the li-
brary board – the library board of all bodies! – is such that one 12-year-serving member was forced to tender her resignation out of the physical and emotions stress of the situation. In the midst of departures and sackings on the board and among staff, Cooney and council’s decision was to stack the board with their own as members to either get a grip on the situation or crush the board under a thumb of council. Mouck read a prepared statement in which she made serious accusations. “The pattern of bullying, badgering and disrespect — disrespect for our dedicated CEO, the rules of procedure that should govern our meetings and disrespect for individuals like myself who have challenged this pattern of abuse —is appalling,” Mouck said. “It is because of my deep respect for Sue and the staff who work here, along with the absolute understanding of the importance of this library to our community, that has given me the courage to stay as long as I have.” There was no response from other board members, who reportedly looked on stone-faced while the board and the library list a dedicated volunteer to petty infighting among council and the board. One citizen who’s been watching the situation there this past week took pen in hand and wrote to the editor, printed in the pages of the Central Hastings News this week. The letter writer had this to say: “The appointment of two council members rather than the traditional single seat was not a step in the right direction. By appointing Councillor Dean Graff and Deputy Mayor Bob Mullin, as well as two new citizen board members (one, a current employee of Graff, the other a former employee of Mullin), the Mayor, once again ignoring optics and tradition, has bigfooted the wishes of library supporters.” Again, we should ask, who goes to war with a library board if you’re in power in a small municipality? Apparently Stirling-Rawdon council, which, as previously mentioned, has been involved in imbroglios with the police services board and a CAO who left to start his own consulting business, but was snidely referred to by Cooney as someone who may have been working both sides of the fence while in the most senior administrative role in the amalgamated municipality. No one ever said politics – at any level, here and certainly not across our southern border – was pretty or always civilized. But, it’s the duty of an informed citizenry to keep an eye on these guys and gals and our job in the local media to swing the light into the dark corners to see what’s festering there.

Turmoil at Brighton Clothing Depot – three volunteers sent packing By John Campbell Brighton – Two volunteers with the Brighton Clothing Depot who were told their services are no longer required are demanding they be reinstated and they’ve asked the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario to intervene. Liese Weiss and Barb Manion say they were let go by the depot’s executive after they stood up on behalf of another volunteer, Linda Granger, when the executive balked at giving her a shift at the depot because she requires a cane to move around inside. “The Organization should not be able to discriminate against the disabled nor their advocates in the future,” Weiss said in her application to the tribunal. The two women and another volunteer who was dismissed, Dawn Mastromarco, also want the accusations made against them by the executive in registered letters to be rescinded. Each was given different reasons for their being dismissed: unauthorized use
of the depot’s private phone list and upsetting others in the group “with personal issues and threats” (Weiss); creating “disturbances” with the depot’s business partners as well as upsetting others and making threats (Mastromarco), and; supporting “divisive gossip” and breaking the rules regarding inventory (Manion). Mastromarco, who is on sick leave, has decided not to make an application to the tribunal because of her health. All three deny the allegations and say they’re being punished for demanding that Granger be slotted in the work schedule. The letters were “very demeaning [and] inappropriate,” Mastromarco said. Weiss said the accusations are “destablizing and highly stressful ... It’s not who we are, we are caring people, all of us.” Granger had been a volunteer at the depot for several years until she moved away. Soon after she returned to Brighton in 2013 she took ill but by earlier this year she was feeling well enough to do
volunteer work once more. However Pat Davis, president of the non-profit organization, said she couldn’t without giving a clear explanation as to why, said Granger, a member of Brighton’s accessibility advisory committee. Davis told the Independent there were concerns about her safety and how that might affect the depot’s insurance coverage, but the three dismissed workers aren’t buying that argument. “That was just ludicrous,” Mastromarco said. “There was never any discrimination,” Davis insisted, but questions were raised about Granger’s ability to perform all the duties expected of a volunteer, because of her limited mobility, even though Granger said she asked that she be limited to front desk duty. “There was such an outcry that we’ve decided” to welcome Granger back “but she has to re-apply,” and there will always be three people working a shift when she volunteers, Davis said. As of Sunday, July 24, Granger had yet to receive word from her team leader when she will work at the depot in August. Schedules
are set monthly. She is thinking of applying to the tribunal but was reviewing the paperwork. “I miss the friendship of the ladies,” said Granger, who is “sad” she hasn’t been able to return to work thus far. Secretary Linda Reckenberg warned that “if something happens to her [at the depot] the insurance company may decide not to pay because they have riders in there [concerning] a pre-existing condition.” She, Davis and secretary Patricia Herron stand by their decision to oust the three volunteers and are confident it will be upheld by the tribunal. “It’s just sour grapes as far as I’m concerned,” Davis said. Weiss, who also circulated a petition calling for Granger’s immediate re-instatement, is “getting everybody in a uproar here in town for nothing, so we were justified,” Davis said. “It’s just a bunch of crap,” Herron said. Both sides are upset by what has taken place over the last couple of months. Weiss said she is “really disappointed, [because] the majority of the ladies there are lovely and want to do good for the community.” The drama has played out on a Face-
book page Weiss originally set up to promote the depot. Her online account of recent events has elicited angry comments directed at the executive by members of the community. “It’s nice to know we have [their] support,” Manion said. “The negative side, unfortunately is that they’re not shopping at the depot which to me is upsetting.” She tells supporters to “continue to shop but [also] ask where we are and what happened to us.” “Everybody who sees us on the street, we get hugs,” Mastromarco said. “I miss the customers.” “I loved working there,” Weiss said. Davis said “everything is working fine now, we don’t have any problems” and claimed she received 35 calls after the executive made its decision “saying [she’s] doing a great job.” Brighton Clothing Depot relies on donations of clothing, books, household goods, and other articles, which are then sold very cheaply to families in need and bargain hunters. The revenue after expenses is distributed to area charities. “Last year it was about $45,000, not including the $16,000 we had to pay to have this space renovated,” Reckenberg said.

Brighton Independent - Thursday, July 28, 2016
Cuppa Tim’s may be had by year’s end By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – Before the year is finished, Brightonians may enjoy that fresh cup of Tim Hortons coffee. The proposed restaurant is one step closer to actuality, as council at a July 20 planning meeting granted site plan approval, entering into an official agreement with Choice Properties LP. Located at 155 Elizabeth St., in the northwest corner of the now No Frills parking lot, the goal is for the restaurant to open in early December. Back in May, council unanimously passed a zoning bylaw amendment, pending the developer submitting an updated, acceptable site plan. But not all of council last Wednesday was left feeling satisfied, after hearing an update following revisions to the submitted site plans. Councillor Steven Baker says the foot and vehicular traffic concerns need to be more thoroughly addressed. “I’m a frequent patron of the Tim Hortons in Trenton or Colborne, depending on the way I’m travelling,” he said. “But based on what I’ve seen
here – don’t get me wrong, I want Tim Hortons to come here. I love their birthday cake timbits too – I just don’t believe that the foot traffic nor the vehicle traffic has been addressed.” Wayne Jefferson, a Brighton resident echoed similar concerns about safety at the latest meeting, in regards to increased foot traffic and no sidewalk adjacent to the westerly entrance. Jefferson hasn’t been the only resident to raise concerns either. At the May meeting and prior, several neighbouring residents expressed concerns over parking, traffic, safety, as a result of increased traffic and also worries over lighting, hours of operation, garbage and fumes. Staff and the developer have since looked into the feasibility of constructing a sidewalk into the site, adjacent to the westerly entrance and nighttime exterior lighting. “I know at the one Trenton location, there’s a Catholic high school across the road and a lot of the kids are running across the road at lunchtime,” said Baker. At the No Frills location now,
“there’s not a week that goes by that cars aren’t pulling out in front of me blindly from that exit,” added Baker. While other members of council, like Laura Vink similarly expressed concerns over safety and the potential for injury or an accident, Baker was the sole councillor last Wednesday to not vote in favour of approval of the updated site plan. “I’d like to see this obviously go forward. It’d be good for the town, but I think there’s a little more work to do with respect to foot traffic and I personally, based on the comments I’ve got, would like to see a set of lights at that location,” he said. In his report to council, municipal planning consultant, Darryl Tighe, explained it has been concluded, “steep grades and a narrow access would not facilitate the inclusion of a sidewalk at this location.” Both municipal staff and the proponent arrived at the same assessment – that the installation of a sidewalk would not be “practical” or “realistic.” Furthermore, staff is additionally concerned with the possibility of en-

Warkworth – Checkmate! This summer’s Artworth, Trent Hills Art Camp, took an unusual step forward in their program with an outdoor action chess game in which pawns, bishops, knights, rooks, kings and queens came to life on a giant chess board painted on the grass at Mill Creek Park. Warkworth businesses and friends pulled together in support of bursaries for Artworth by sponsoring children ages 7 to 13 to enact the chess game. Each Artworth child, represented a chess piece and created head gear to identify with each piece with help from professional artists working at providing “a quality experience,” for the kids. This is the 11th year for Artworth. “I was a pawn in the chess game and I loved it, mostly because I got to stay in the game right until the very end,” said Veronika Dinkel, age 8. Introducing the children at the game was wellknown local actor Teresa Castonguay, TRUSS & FLOOR who announced the moves played on a chess board.

couraging pedestrians to cross Elizabeth Street, where there is no designated crosswalk, said the consultant. To address lighting concerns, two existing structures, which will be in the vicinity of the Tim Hortons, will be converted to LED fixtures. “This should eliminate spillover light troublesome to neighbouring property owners and keep the light on site,” said Tighe. Pedestrians will be encouraged, as they are now, to cross the road to the north side, where there are lights and a crosswalk. Staff, council and the developer will continue to discuss potential safety measures, Mayor Mark Walas said. However, it was noted, traffic impact studies which were subject to peer review as well as independent review have been completed and accepted. “Northumberland County is satisfied with the traffic flow,” said Tighe. Walas acknowledged public concern Wednesday. “I respect and appreciate your comments Wayne,” said Walas. “But I will say, that at great expense, as we

manager for three months and it only recently filled its planner vacancy. With those positions remaining unfilled, the township will save on wages but consulting expenditures are expected to be higher than projected due to costs the township incurs related to planning and human resources while it is short-staffed. Leach-Bihun forecast additional revenues might be found as a result of a review of the township’s current assessment roll by a consultant who has been hired by Northumberland County. The report might highlight “any large variances” that some properties might have between what they’re assessed and what they’re actually worth, which could lead Cramahe applying to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation for “possible adjustments,” Leach-Bihun said. “What we’re doing is ensuring that any properties that change in values” have been picked up by the system, she said, adding “there are some cases” where a property is valued less than what the prevailing market because of “substan-
tial reasons for it being valued at a lower amount.” Task force members chosen All seven people who applied to sit on the Mayor’s Task Force on Economic Development and Strategic Planning were accepted. Dave Rutherford served on the Mayor’s Task Force that led to the Keeler Centre being built. David Smith is an independent consultant with extensive entrepreneurial and communication skills. He served as Ontario director for the Canadian Christian Business Federation, and is the Ontario director for Corporate Chaplains Canada. Chauncy Perry is a member of the Cramahe/Brighton Chamber of Commerce and has a downtown storefront in Colborne. The others are Cathy Ireland, Eric Lawlor, a retired Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs regional information coordinator, and former township councillor and parks and recreation chair Clinton Breau.
Cramahe Township – Cramahe has a new of water services for Lakefront Utilities CAO. He’s Craig Brooks, the manager where he has worked for the past eight years. “He has extensive knowledge of our municipality and our staff which should enable a quick [and] successful transition,” Mayor Marc Coombs said in a news release sent out July 25. “Council wanted someone with a strong operational background with emphasis on infrastructure projects,” Coombs said. “Moving forward, this is critical to CraDrew MacDonald 613-475-1475/866-246-2487 mahe’s future growth.” Coombs said Brooks is “highly regarded by the Cra-
mahe employees that he has dealt with in the past for his experience [and] knowledge as well as being professional, passionate [and] dedicated. I have no doubt that Craig will provide the leadership we need moving forward.” Brooks, a certified engineering technologist, is an active member of the Eastern Ontario Waterworks Association. Brooks begins his new job Aug. 8. He replaces Dan O’Brien, who announced in January he would be resigning in March “for personal reasons” but remained until a successor was found. Coombs thanked O’Brien on behalf of council for “his dedication to the municipality, our staff and our residents for continuing to stay on as CAO throughout the search process.”
By John Campbell Cramahe Township – The township’s financial results for the first six months of the year shows a “favourable variance” of $645,7000 to the good, treasurer Nicole Leach-Bihun told council. She explained the variance of net operating revenues exceeding equipment and other capital costs were the result of “timing events” involving projects, tender awards and social services program spending which can be “unpredictably spread” over the year. Non-timing events, including “gaps” in staffing as well as legal and consulting costs, also affected the financial results. As well, differences in utility costs compared to budgeted amounts are affected by changes in rates and usage over the prior year, she said. Cramahe took a while before hiring Leach-Bihun after letting go her predecessor when a $400,000 budgetary deficit in 2014 only came to light last fall. It has been without an parks and recreation

Meet the Fletchers, Brighton’s go-to people By Vic Schukov It would appear – and I speak from my own experience – that many people who settle in the Municipality of Brighton do so after driving around different parts of southern Ontario until they have that Eureka moment. In 1992, ‘Fletch’ and Dorothy Fletcher spent their weekends doing just that. As Dorothy puts it: “We
knew that something would stand out. So when we looked out on the back deck of our home-to-be in Codrington’s countryside, we knew this was it.� – not a bad move, looking out on the conservation area of Murray marsh. Fletch is a fifth generation Torontonian, and Dorothy was born in Winnipeg. They met in Vancouver during a TV commercial project arranged by the two airlines for which they worked. She was an advertising manager for Eastern Provincial Airlines and he was in marketing with CP Air. His company soon merged with hers. And this year, Fletch and Dorothy celebrate the 30th anniversary of their own merger, so to speak Upon arriving, they worked in close proximity, both teaching at Loyalist College:
Fletch taught marketing in the tourism program, for 10 years. Dorothy taught advertising and media studies for 11 years. She also wrote a cooking column in The Brighton Independent for seven years before going back to Loyalist to complete a program in culinary management and chef training. Now she teaches cooking classes in Brighton’s Community Care centre. Consummate community contributors, the Fletchers volunteer at 4H, and run Hillcroft Design doing graphics for non-profit organizations. They are also part of Brighton’s digital historical (photo) archives program. Dorothy says, laughing, “We must have been looking for something to do in the winter time.� While at Loyalist, Fletch suggested that the school start a comedy radio show. He says, “They told me that if I didn’t do it, it wouldn’t happen. So I aired comedy for 17 years.� One day, he read about a boat for people with disabilities and mentioned it to the radio station producer: “I was urged to call Ontario sailing and ask that they send a boat over. It went so well, with my partner John Gower, that we decided that we couldn’t very well demonstrate this and walk away so we formed Quinte Sailability a sailing school for people with disabili-

ties. (Smiling) Like the radio show I backed into it.� They are now into their 16th year with a teenage staff of 50 volunteers putting in over 1,600 hours. The school services 150 people per year, operating out of Baker Island air base in Trenton’s Bay of Quinte. “We thought we were starting a sailing school,� says Fletch, “but there was a side benefit in teaching the teens management and leadership skills, spreading their social network, and encouraging the learning of life skills and how to broaden their horizons.� Dorothy says, “We volunteer because it allows us to meet our neighbours, to show them that we are here for keeps and want to contribute.�
I asked them how they became such multitaskers. Fletch said, “In the old days, the airline industry did a lot of things in-house. We got so used to multi-tasking, when we retired we felt that doing nothing was too boring.� His partner-in-life adds, “When you see the rewards of volunteering, you realize that you can do more. When people recognize you as a reliable go-to person, it motivates you further, and that makes it fun.� (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people.

A fresh face for historic grand dame of Brighton By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – It’s been a big year for Brighton’s historic Proctor House Museum. At the beginning of this month, the museum officially opened for its tourist season and embraced a fresh new look. Earlier in the year, the museum received about $34,000 in funding between the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the Canada 150 program. The Brian Todd Memorial Fund also donated funds to assist the museum with restoration. “We’ve totally restored the outside, aside from a few minor things and fixes, like the porches still need to be painted, it’s all done,” said Anna Rittwage, the Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO) president. SOHO is committed to preserving the Proctor’s legacy in Brighton and local history. From rotting wood, which needed to be replaced, new porches, to some other carpenter-oriented repairs and new foundations for some outside pillars – there was a lot of work needed, said Rittwage. Some of the porches were last restored in the 70s. The last larger restoration effort at the museum occurred about 10 years ago, when Trillium chipped in previously to aid with painting and replacements of windows and columns. “Without this funding, we wouldn’t have the opportunity to do these things
– we can’t afford it,” said Rittwage. “Like most museums, we’re in a position where we depend on government funding.” A dedicated team of volunteers oversees operations at the museum, with the exception of just one paid summer student yearly. The Brighton Barn Theatre, built in 2000, helps with some utility and operating expenses, and then volunteers are left to fundraise. With the original back-end of the home built in 1853, then the front half in 1867 – understandably, maintenance is an ongoing ordeal, explained Rittwage. “It’s our goal to preserve the history of Brighton and that means these walls themselves and also what’s within the walls.” All local contractors assisted with restoration efforts in recent months. In September, during the weekend before Applefest, the museum will officially unveil its new look with an open house, and celebrate the 40th anniversary of restoration with special invited guests and all of Brighton. Everyone will be welcomed. “We thought in the fall, this would be nicer, being it will be a little cooler and hopefully more comfortable for people,” said the SOHO president. “We’re really looking forward to showcasing how things have changed.” And that doesn’t just entail the outside of Proctor House. Recently, the museum has also wel-

comed back some of the original furniture used while the Proctor family lived in the home, including the original dining room table and chairs, as well as 167 pieces of china, hand-painted by Stellar Proctor – the last Proctor to live in the home. She died in the 1960s. The furniture and china came from Louise Hooper, whose 101-years-old and currently living in Victoria, B.C. John Proctor was her grandfather. “Her daughter, Nancy Bain, I’ve kept in contact with over the years,” said Rittwage. This summer, it was decided, it was time for the original pieces to return to the museum. To have some of the original family give back and one of the largest shipments ever – this is something pretty remarkable, the SOHO president notes. To have even 10-out-of-18 of the original chairs for the dining room table, this is said to be considered pretty unusual. “It’s interesting for tourists,” Rittwage continued. “This is often one of the first things they ask and want to know about – what furniture is original to home.” What’s more, the president says, to offer people and youth even, the chance to step back in time like this – it’s often a pretty unique and special experience. More details pertaining to the open house restoration anniversary celebration will be made available through local media in coming months.

Owner fears museum could be just a memory A plumber by trade in the Brighton and district area for his life, Ralph jokes he’s been in every attic, barn and cellar around. As a result, he’s collected a lot of historical artifacts over the years. From the original railway surveys completed back in 1854, to a 1929 restored wooded Caboose, to the Morse code system used in Ottawa when the Titanic sunk, Ralph says visitors have the opportunity to get lost in time at Memory Junction. “These are the types of items collectors would put their arms around you for,” said Ralph. “You know, back then, Ottawa had the best, most up-to-date system. So when the Titanic sunk, all the messages for sending boats out to help went through there.” The museum features dozens of items such as these and many more that tell
the stories of Brightonians. “I got a lot of old photographs,” said Ralph. “A lot of the old ones from the local schoolhouses.” Over the years, such photographs have offered people the chance to see relatives – sometimes brothers and sisters even for the first time. Helping local residents and families to understand their history and heritage and to feel connected is something Ralph has always been passionate about. It’s something that’s also pretty unique to Brighton too, the curator added. “I lived through the hungry 1930s,” he said. “And a lot of that stuff has been destroyed or was burnt, but not here – here, it still exists.” But even before all the memorabilia and antiquity, the railway station was always special to Ralph. That’s why he purchased the old sta-
tion when it came up for sale and refused to let it be wrecked. “I played here as a kid,” he said. “I lived just up the street.” Situated on the Grand Trunk Railway property, the station is one-of-nine left, of the 32 that were built when the first railway system from Toronto to Montreal was established in 1856. “This was one of the first railways across the bottom end of Ontario,” said Ralph. “To me, this is a piece of our history.” While the touring of the museum has slowed a bit over the years, the curator admits, more volunteers are still needed to help sustain operations and to help preserve local history. At 90-years-old, Ralph is still managing a lot of it. “The six-hour days are manageable,” he said.

County awards contract to build 31 affordable housing units in Cobourg

By John Campbell Cobourg – Northumberland County has contracted Retirement Life Communities (RLC) to build 31 affordable housing units in Cobourg, using $3,590,600 it received in funding from the federal and provincial governments. The units – 27 one-bedroom and four two-bedroom – are to be built on Munroe Street, with five of them to be barrier-free. The four-storey building will be “centrally located to transit, medical, shopping and recreational opportunities,” director of community and social services Lisa Horne noted in her report to County council July 20. “This is obviously good news, we all know there’s a tremendous shortage of affordable housing in the County of Northumberland, and this proponent is going to give us the highest amount of units that we can possibly get out of
the money that was available to us,” said Warden Gil Brocanier, the mayor of Cobourg. Funding for the project, the County’s seventh housing development since 2008, is being provided through the Investment in Affordable Housing Program. When completed, the new apartments will raise the total number of low-income housing units the County has created to 114. The target population is seniors and persons with disabilities. RLC has agreed to provide services that include annual medication and dieting reviews, blood pressure and weight monitoring. The Toronto developer’s proposal was selected from four that were submitted. “They have great experience in building affordable housing and they have a great reputation for construction in the Town of Cobourg,” Brocanier said, citing Palisades Gardens Retirement Community.

Number of homeless people to be subject of a Northumberland-wide campaign By John Campbell Northumberland County – The County will launch a campaign to find out how many homeless people there are in its seven member municipalities. Northumberland committed in 2013 to working towards ending long-term homelessness in the county by adopting a Ten Year Housing and Homelessness Plan dedicated to meeting community needs. The Housing First approach “emphasizes preventative measures that stabilize people’s housing and provide affordable housing with appropriate support services,” community services manager Ellen Armstrong said in a report to council. It involves moving homeless people into “independent and permanent housing as quickly as possible, with no preconditions, and then providing them with additional services and supports.” They will be presented with an option of housing without it being conditional on any lifestyle, behavioural or treatment expectation,” Armstrong said. They will also “have some say in terms of the type and location of the housing understanding that there are generally limitations for affordable options in most communities.” Armstrong said there is “considerable variation” in how the Housing First program model is applied, “based on the population served, resource availability and other factors related to the local context. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to Housing First.” Research has shown that “chronic (long-term) and episodically homeless people (moving in and out of homelessness) often struggle with deep poverty, trauma, mental illness, addiction along with complex and often multiple medical problems,” Armstrong wrote.
HAMILTON’S CLOCK & JEWELLERY Are Pleased to Announce the Opening Of Their
Before the County can develop a Northumberland Housing First model, it will need to complete a capacity assessment as well as a homelessness count that includes an inventory of individuals “and their vulnerabilities.” To create and implement a homeless services system will include examining
the county’s shelter services, bringing housing and health supports together, expanding mental health and addictions case planning, and considering “whether existing services should be repurposed,” Armstrong said. The Central East Region Local Health Integration Network will fund a re-
gional housing coordinator to complete the capacity assessment and provide a report to the County. She recommended the County conduct a Registry Week count “since it obtains person-level information and is considered an intervention more than just a count or research project,”
she said. It also “engages interested community leaders, volunteers and service providers to come together” to collect the data as well as provide “an opportunity to raise the profile of homelessness as an issue across communities.”

Quinte West Firefighters recover after 20-acre grass fire, fire chief stresses fire ban By Erin Stewart Trenton – Two Quinte West firefighters are recovering at home after being taken to hospital last Wednesday afternoon suffering from heat exhaustion from battling a 20-acre grass fire, said Quinte West Fire Chief John Whelan. Fire crew from stations 2, 5, 6 and 7 responded to the grass fire near the corner of Miron Road and County Road 40 after 911 calls came in at
around 1:50 p.m., Wednesday July 20. “It was about 20 acres, spreading rapidly with the wind,” and eventually spread into the woods, said Whelan. Paramedics and the Quinte West OPP were on hand, the OPP closing down two roads for two hours so fire trucks could get to the scene. Whelan said residents in the area were interviewed, but they could not determine how the fire was started.
Whelan said no charges were laid for burning. The Quinte West fire department also responded to another fire on Harrington Road Wednesday July 20. Whelan said a baler initially caught fire on Tuesday July 19 and re-ignited again on Wednesday. Crews also responded to a report of a gas leak in Trenton. “We had all seven stations committed at one time,” said Whelan. “So I had to have Belleville and the county
and Brighton and all of the surroundings, Stirling-Rawdon, on standby in case we had something else.” Whelan said he wants to make sure the public understands the fire ban is still in place and people will be charged the full rate, $420 per truck per hour, if they are caught burning. “The public has to know that they can’t burn, not even tossing a cigarette butt out the window,” he said. “We still have people burning and if we catch them they’re going to get a
fine, it’s as simple as that.” Whelan said it’s important people understand the dangers of burning in dry conditions. “People should know better, people don’t know the potential of what can happen, that’s the point to get across, it’s dry and if you’ve got wind it can take out houses, farms and everything else in its path.” Whelan said all crews, including paramedics and OPP officers, did an excellent job.
Nijmegen Marchers depart from Trenton By Ross Lees 8 Wing’s 11-person Nijmegen March team joined a number of other teams from across Canada late last week as they prepared to depart Trenton for Nijmegen, Netherlands. Having put on well over 600 km in training, the 8 Wing team is ready for Holland. “By now we have put over 600
km on our feet, and are eagerly anticipating the remaining 160 km in the Netherlands,” 429 (Transport) Squadron Aviator Peter Aboud said recently. The local team started training on March 29. The Nijmegen Marches were originally a means by which Dutch infantry increased their long-distance marching and weight-carrying abil-
ity, but they eventually evolved into an international four-day event which draws over 50,000 civilians from over 50 countries in addition to military participants, to test their physical and mental endurance. Canada remains a popular participant following their unique and historic connection to the Netherlands since Canadian troops helped liberate the Netherlands during the Second World War. The 8 Wing group, whittled down from 30 original hopefuls, is lead by Major (Maj.) Howard Tetzlaff but the entire Canadian contingent will be led by Colonel (Col.) Kristina Stevens. “I could not

Young BQYC sailors at send-off for Picton’s Macpherson Belleville - As the BQYC Learn to Team competed in the Steerers’ Yacht Club recently, their paths Solo Racer Sandy Macpherson, Race competitors and Youth Race Junior Regatta at the Port Credit crossed with renowned Canadian originally from Picton. The open ocean racer invited the wide-eyed team to a tour of O Canada. As Macpherson gave the young sailors a tour of the 60’ yacht, with an 18foot foot beam and 96-foot mast, he shared that he took his first sailing lessons from the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club (BQYC) and was part of the race team there. He said the Victoria Harbour club was where he formed the inspiration and desire to sail the world. Everyone had lots of questions, including how he managed sleeping in a hammock and tacking where Sandy explained, “it takes fifteen minutes to tack – having to shift water ballast, changing the dagger boards, and then tack the sails.” In contrast many of the young competitors’ train and practise tacking in seconds to stay ahead. Macpherson has spoken at BQYC at various times over the past few years, where he has described his journeys and shown slide shows of competitions while club members helped in his fundraising.
Macpherson is the current skipper and former director of training and development of Canadian Ocean Racing. He joined the team in March 2015 after a successful campaign in the Mini 650 class. He is the only Canadian to finish the Mini Race Les Sables – Azores – Les Sables, which is a 2,400 mile solo race from France to the Azores and back on a 21 foot-boat. His 7,000 miles of solo sailing experience gives Macpherson the upper-hand when sailing O Canada single-handed. He has also logged just as many miles on O Canada, as member of the initial crew that sailed O Canada from Vancouver to Toronto via the Panama Canal. Canadian Ocean Racing is currently campaigning Macpherson for the 2016 Vendee Globe, whose entry would make him not only the third Canadian to ever attempt the race, but also the youngest skipper in Vendee Globe history. Macpherson is from Prince Edward County and has a BSc Navigation and Maritime Science degree from Plymouth University.

pacity crowd. Fans voted Temperature Rising, driven by Doug Seabrook of Ottawa, as the winner of the monster truck freestyle contest. The steamy July night also provided some of the best racing yet this year with 88 cars signed in to the pits across six stock car divisions. Baldwin Exorcises Demons A roller coaster month of July finally produced some fruit for Trenton’s Steve Baldwin (No.5 Pro Advantage Sports) who won his third feature of the season in Vanderlaan Building Products Pro Late Model competition on Saturday night. Baldwin started fourth for the 30-lap A-Main but took the lead from Adam Nayler (No.42 Quinte Tire Disposal) in turn four on the opening lap and never relinquished his grip on the top spot on his way to victory. Despite leading all 30 laps, the win certainly didn’t come easy for Baldwin. After taking the point, Baldwin had to contend with Charlie Sandercock (No.57 Bellevue Fabricating) on a lap 10 restart. Sandercock attempted to get underneath Baldwin, who was running the top lane, but couldn’t maintain the same pace. On the same restart, Brandon Mowat (No.46 Target Fabrication) and Phil Potts (No.29 Indewey Excavating) drove past Nayler to third and fourth, respectively. At the halfway mark, Mowat slid in front of Sandercock in close quarters to take second and set out to track down Baldwin. The final restart came on lap 19 following a Kyle Sopaz (No.12 Lots and Lines) spin in turn four. Potts used the preferred outside lane to take third from Sandercock. With five laps to go Baldwin’s lead was 0.8 seconds over Mowat, but it evaporated quickly. Both Mowat and Potts reeled in the leader and set up a three-car battle for the lead at the white flag. Potts stole second from Mowat and made a last ditch attempt to steal the win on the final corner, but Baldwin powered around the top to claim the victory. Potts, Mowat, Sandercock and Adam Turner (No.92 Village Variety) complete the top-five. Hennessy Steals Fifth Win From Whaley Andrew Hennessy capitalized on a late-race opportunity to take the lead from Adam Whaley (No.12 John’s Equipment) and led the final four laps to park his RJ Equipment Rentals No.87 in Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modified victory lane for the fifth time this season. The Picton native started sixth in the 14-car field while Whaley started on the pole. Fourth-starting Doug O’Blenis (No.32 John’s Car Care) jumped to the lead on the opening lap, but a caution
waved to produce the first restart. The second and final caution on the second lap saw Whaley get an excellent jump as he drove around the top to reclaim the lead. From there, he paced O’Blenis with a comfortable one-second advantage. That changed on lap 13 when Hennessy took the runner-up spot in turn two and began to pressure Whaley for the top spot. Two laps later, Josh Hennessy (No.88 A&A Haulage) got by O’Blenis for third and the Hennessy brothers came after the No.12. Andrew Hennessy glued himself to Whaley’s back bumper in the top lane and waited for an opportunity. The chance came on lap 21 when Whaley got over the cushion in turn three and Hennessy pointed his No.87 to the bottom to take the lead. He drove away from that point on, winning by 2.7 seconds over Whaley, Josh Hennessy, O’Blenis and Justin Ramsay, who made his first Canadian Modified start in the ABC Taxi No.78 normally driven by his girlfriend Shelby Mills. Murrell holds off tough challenge for Pro Stock Win The final race produced a dry slick racetrack and it played to Brandon Murrell’s hand perfectly in the Brighton Automotive Pro Stock main event. The Gores Landing driver’s car came alive for the feature as he drove from fourth to pass five-time champion Doug Anderson (No.72 Hunt’s Bobcat Service) for his second victory of the season in his Hannah Motors No.19. Anderson led early on from his pole starting position, but was slowed by the only caution of the race for the 21-car field when Cory White (No.91 Hoosier) spun in turn three after Mike Freeman’s Boyer Chevrolet No.51 leaked fluid on the track. Murrell got the outside of Anderson on the restart and made the top lane work. The two drivers battled side-by-side for two laps before Murrell emerged with the lead on lap five. Behind the top two cars, Wade Purchase (No.53 Independent Alternator and Starter) and Justin Ramsay (No.03 Empey Tire) made their way to the third and fourth positions, respectively. Murrell pulled away briefly, but Anderson caught him again on lap 12 while Purchase and Ramsay battled alongside one another for third. As the top lane faded, Murrell anchored his No.19 to the bottom of the track and never wavered on the way to his second win of the season over Anderson, Ramsay and Purchase. Twice Is nice For Toms It took Luke Toms (No.19 Diamond Detailing) a year and a half of racing to earn his first win, but just seven days to
score the second as the Port Hope pilot won his second straight Bill’s Johns Comp 4 feature on Saturday night. The race was also the final leg of the ABC Taxi Triple Crown. Third-starting Kevin Hertendy (No.7 Sine’s Flooring) led the opening lap, but a caution on lap two slowed the field. Port Hope’s Matthew Moore (No.14 Farl’s Auto Body) drove to the lead on the restart, but Toms was in tow. Toms stalked the No.14 over the next three laps and made the winning pass for the lead in turn two on lap five. From there, the race ran caution free with Peter Moore (No.17 Sherri’s Pet Grooming) advancing to second ahead of point-leader Tyler French (No.0 ABC Taxi). Peter Moore challenged Toms for the lead, but couldn’t wrestle it away before the checkered flag. After winning the first two portions of the ABC Taxi Triple Crowm, Tyler French’s third-place finish solidified the crown for the Trenton, Ont. driver. MacDonald, Bulten take Stinger Wins In Quinte Septic Super Stinger action, Mark MacDonald (No.28 Cannifton Garage) used his pole starting spot to his full advantage and led all 12 laps for his first win of the season. Arthur McCauley (No.99 East Side Tire) made a late charge at the front, but MacDonald’s lead was insurmountable as he drove to victory lane. Trenton’s Chris Lammle (No.95 Lammle Computer Repair) was third. The Quinte Septic Junior Stinger feature produced an excellent side-byside battle between front row starters Willy Bulten (No.50) and Brittany Golden (No.85 Rapid Rad). The two drivers raced side-by-side on multiple occasions throughout the 12-lap feature and never made contact. Bulten eventually solidified his second win of the year with a smooth line through lapped traffic. Golden settled for second ahead of Kyle Doric (No.08). Up next Brighton Speedway returns to action next Saturday, July 30 as Bellevue Fabricating and Campbellford Chrysler present the Gord’s Water Vantastics along with the Vanderlaan Building Products Pro Late Models, Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modifieds, Brighton Automotive Pro Stocks, and Bill’s Johns Comp 4s.

Goal differential gives Brighton the edge in first-place tie with Hellenics Brighton – The Brighton Keystone Orange defeated the Trenton Sockers 4-1 July 24 in Bay of Quinte Men’s Outdoor Soccer League Cup play, on goals by Keith Couperus, Kyle Couperus, Brennan Thompson and Ian Mou-
lenhuis. Moulenhuis’s goal was on a penalty kick, as was Greg King’s for Sockers. With a win and a tie and and one game to play, Sunday, Aug. 7, against Quinte Old Boys, “we are in good shape for
Cup post-season play,” coach Merv Heffernan said. Game time is 6:30 p.m. at Zwick’s Centennial Park in Belleville. The Orange hold down top spot in Division 1 standings by the narrowest of
margins. Although tied with Hellenics with identical 7-1-2 records, Brighton has the edge because of a better goal differential, 17 versus Hellenics’ 15. Jesse Heffernan scored twice in a 4-1 win over 8 Wing Trenton July 21. Jake
McGowan and Kyle Couperus also scored. Marcin Lukaszynski tallied for 8 Wing. Brighton plays Sockers July 28 at King Edward Park, starting at 8:30 p.m.

Heritage Day charms visitors at O’Hara Mill Homestead
Madoc Township - Folks from all over Ontario seem to have discovered O’Hara Mill Homestead just north of Highway 7 near Madoc. The property, settled by James O’Hara and his family in 1823, has been in the care of Quinte Conservation Authority since 1954. Restoration of original buildings and addition of period structures began in 1965, but, it was the vol-
unteer association which formed to restore the homestead that has done the most work over the past decade. The O’Hara family has also become actively interested, contributing items from their family for display. Sales from a store in the main house, a market garden, fundraisers, quilt raffles and donation boxes on the site help with maintenance. On Sunday, July 24, volunteers donned vintage garb, cooked dinner on an open fireplace, hitched horses
to pioneer plows and displayed heritage bicycles, farm implements, buggies and sleighs while families took a trek into the bush aboard horse-drawn wagons. Visitors stood in awe, cameras in hand, while a team of oxen passed by, drawing a rock boat as in early days, and watched a giant rock picker lift boulders. Settling this Canadian Shield was not easy. To show what can be done with rocks, Dean McLellen, one of only
five master dry wall masons in North America, demonstrated his craft. The water-powered saw mill, which made the O’Hara farm a busy hub in settlement days, is fully operational, the only one in Ontario working in its original setting. History of the mill and its restoration can be seen on their website, oharamill.org , along with the extraordinary work volunteers have done over the past few years. To feed visitors, they built a canteen serving foods supplied
by Carl Vandermeer and Maple Leaf meats through the Madoc Foodland. The Mill has become a source of community pride. With continuing public exposure on Facebook and the website, more visitors from farther afield arrive, including tourists from abroad. Heritage Day is just one chance to experience history at The Mill. On Saturday, Aug. 20, the annual corn boil offers more of the same, with the dry stone masons returning to do more work.
Visitors at O’Hara Mill Homestead on July 24 were amazed at the ease with which these oxen passed through the crowd. Cameras flashed and jaws dropped at their shear power and massive size. Photo by Diane Sherman
Two-vehicle collision on Highway 7 sends two to hospital
AUGUST 24 & 25 2016
By Brett Mann Actinolite – A two-vehicle collision on Highway 7 near the Highway 37 cut-off sent two elderly people to hospital with non-life threatening injuries on Wednesday, July 20 afternoon. An Owen Sound driver has been charged in the collision. Some time before 3 p.m., local residents heard a loud bang and discovered what looked like a side-swipe accident had caused damage to the side of one vehicle, a grey-coloured compact car. A second vehicle that seemed to be headed west, went into the ditch and appeared to have smashed into a rock cut, resulting in extensive damage to the Honda compact and trapping one occupant. Hastings County EMS were first on the scene, followed by two units of the Tweed Fire Department which used jaws of life to extricate the occupant in a procedure that took at least a half an hour. OPP from the Madoc detachment were also quickly on the scene, directing traffic on the busy highway. Extrication efforts required removing the roof of the vehicle, which lay on its side against the rock cut and appeared to be demolished. OPP investigator Lisa Robson indicated that, despite the obvious severity of the accident, there was no loss of life, and two people – including the 80-year-old driver of the second vehicle in the crash – were taken to hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries. Charged is Elizabeth Head, 73, of Owen Sound, facing one count of careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act.

Quinte Conservation fish rescue was warm work By Jack Evans The water was cool from ankles to mid-calf on the Moira River, but all else was hot, humid and uncomfortable as a crew from Quinte Conservation launched a fish rescue mission last Friday morning. As it turned out, there were not many fish that needed rescuing. One spokesperson said with the low water levels, they were worried that some fish would head to pools and shady rocks near shore only to find there was no longer enough water to get back to the main stream. She added that it is fortunate that there remained, in fact, a steady stream meandering between the rocky layers in the centre. All they had to do was net any fish they could find and move them into the middle. One staffer noted she found a tiny crawfish in one pool, which promptly clawed her even before she could move it into the current. Such fish rescue projects are undertaken by Quinte Conservation staff from time to time in the event of unusually low water flows or draining some areas to service the series of dams. At least the project helped give the agency a boost in publicity as a television crew and two or three news photographers showed up to capture their efforts. But that did not offset the fierce Among a Quinte Conservation crew working to rescue entrapped fish from pockets in the Moira River Friday, left to right, were: Lauren Telford, Sarah Lidster, Jennifer Forbes and Lindsay Nash.

Moira River walkers should watch out for dams; Quinte Conservation By Stephen Petrick
Belleville – In this extraordinarily dry summer, the Moira River in Belleville has turned into a playground. People have been walking, wading and even riding bikes through the deep and wide riverbed, as it now features mostly a dry rock surface and only a gentle stream of water. A spokesperson for Quinte Conservation, the organization that monitors area-riversheds, said people are free to do that if they choose. However, she cautioned people to still be careful around dams, as water levels can often change in a moment’s notice. Jennifer May-Anderson pointed out that there are six dams along the Moira River the most noticeable one
perhaps being the McLeod Dam, just north of College Street, in the heart of Belleville. “We never encourage people to be close to dams,” she said. “Water levels – even if they’re low now – there’s the potential for water levels to change.” However, she said, if people are away from dams and in an area with a flat-rock bottom – such as the area of the river that borders Station Street – there are no pressing concerns. In a vegetated area, people would be at the risk of damaging fish habitats. But “because the Moira River has a flat rock bottom, we’re not concerned about people being there from that perspective,” May-Anderson said. She encouraged people to watch for signs indicating they’re close to dams
and use common sense. Areas where there are ice booms are also not meant for swimming, she pointed out. A senior health inspector from Hastings Prince Edward Public Health had similar advice, for people to be careful around dams. “We know your tempted, it’s hot, but exercise due caution and please obey signs. It’s that’s a simple,” said Andrew Landy. He said the health unit cannot say for sure how safe the water in the Moira River is from a bacteria standpoint, because it’s not an area that’s tested. The health unit only conducts tests at beaches that have been designated for public swimming. But, “as a general requirement, do In springtime the water in the Moira River along Belleville makes for fast-flowing rapids, but in this your best not to swallow the water,” unusually dry summer the water is so low the riverbed seems like a nearly empty canyon.

The TD Summer Reading Club, Canada’s biggest bilingual summer reading program for children of all ages, interests and abilities, helps students stay engaged during the summer. Studies show that kids who keep reading during holidays do much better when they return to school in the fall. The Madoc library hosts the program each year for younger students. If your children need a little structured fun, there is still time and space to register them in the program. Each child receives a passport to access books, and shares their experience in many ways, learning as they go. For more information, call the library at 613473-4456.

Empire to be filled to capacity for screening of Tragically Hip farewell show Belleville – Capacity is full for the Empire Theatre’s Aug. 20 screening of The Tragically Hip’s Kingstonshow, the final performance of what many believe is a farewell tour for the iconic Canadian rock band. Empire Theatre promoter Andy Forgie explained that to call it a sell out wouldn’t be the right expression, as the event is free. However, when the theatre announced it would hold the screening,
less than two weeks ago, it had to go about giving out tickets as if it was a regular customer-paying show. “People would call in and do everything they would do to book tickets for a show, except pay for it,” he said. “Everyone secured their admission. We did reach a point where we were filled to capacity. It should be a very special evening.” Empire guests will watch the CBC broadcast of the show. The public
broadcaster recently announced it would broadcast and live-stream the show, a move meant to appease thousands of music fans, who weren’t able to access tickets for the tour. The Hip are touring to promote their album Man Machine Poem, but as virtually everyone familiar with the Canadian music news knows, there is a heavy emotional element to this show. The band recently announced that
lead singer Gord Downie has incurable brain cancer. In spite of that, the band decided to tour again this summer, as “it feels like the right thing to do now, for Gord and for all of us,” they said in famous statement issued last May. The Kingston show, at the Rogers K-Rock Centre, is a fitting place for the Man Machine Poem tour to end, as it’s in The Hip’s hometown. The venue’s address is 1 The Tragically Hip Way.
Forgie said the screening is a great opportunity for Belleville music fans to honour the band from the neighbouring city. He said members of The Tragically Hip have attended shows at the Empire on several occasions and the band played the theatre once in 2006 for a show that sold out in 15 minutes. The Hip also played at Zwick’s Island Park in 2008, as part of the now defunct Big Music Fest.

TRAVEL
Whitehorse, Canada’s ‘Wilderness City’
By John M. Smith I recently read online that Whitehorse, in the Yukon, nicknamed Canada’s “Wilderness City,” was rated as “the least polluted city on earth.” With a population of less than 30,000, it’s also our largest Canadian city in the far north. Therefore, there’s a lot of wide open space up there, and plenty of fresh air to breathe. During the summer months, there’s a vast majority of daylight hours, too, for this is “the land of the Midnight Sun.” On my last visit to this beautiful destination, I was taking photos outside after 11 p.m., and there was still adequate lighting. That late brightness can make sleeping rather difficult, so it’s particularly important to have your curtains tightly closed when you want to snooze. Of course, the alternative is to simply wait and get most of your sleep during the long winter months when there is very little light at all. There’s a large mural on a wall in Whitehorse of three white horses splashing in water, and this relates to the name of the city, for it was named after the nearby White Horse Rapids in Miles Canyon. Before the river was dammed, it was believed that these wild rapids resembled the
mane of a white horse. Thus, the name of the city was created. Whitehorse became the capital of the Yukon Territory in 1953, and this particular city has the majority of the population. It’s also said to be the driest city in Canada. Since it’s situated in the Whitehorse Valley, the climate is also actually milder here than in such northern communities as Yellowknife. Furthermore, Whitehorse is home to the country’s largest weathervane; it’s a decommissioned DC-3 that sits atop a swivel stand at the airport. You’ll find many of our familiar restaurant chains up here, too, including Tim Hortons, Pizza Hut, Subway, and McDonald’s. There’s even a 4-storey log skyscraper. You’ll also discover that there are about 700 km. of mountain biking trails within the city and a plethora of cross country ski trails. I discovered that a section of the Trans Canada Trail runs through the city, so I was able to follow the Yukon River on this paved trail, and it took me to the S.S. Klondike II National Historic Site. This preserved steam powered sternwheeler was built in Whitehorse, and it now sits in dry dock on the waterfront. Tours are available. I was told that when it was moved from the shipyard to its present ‘retirement home’, it took a crew of 12, plus 3 bulldozers and 8 tons
Whitehorse’s S.S. Klondike II National Historic Site.
of Palmolive soap. Some of the other “must see” attractions in Whitehorse include its Rotary Peace Park (where a new tree is symbolically planted each Canada Day), Visitor Information Centre (for lots of pertinent information and an informative film), Yukon Transportation Museum (housing reminders of the building of the Alaska Highway and of travel during the Gold Rush era), Yukon Wildlife Preserve (a wildlife viewing property that features 10 species of northern Canadian mammals in their natural environment), MacBride Museum (which includes Gold Rush exhibits and native culture), White Pass Train Station (which serves as a reminder that Whitehorse was an important stop on the way to the gold fields at Dawson City) , and the Whitehorse Fish Ladder (the longest wooden Fish Ladder in the world), used by salmon to swim upstream to spawn. Near Whitehorse, you’ll want to check out Miles Canyon, Lake Laberge, Emerald
FRANKLIN COACH & TOURS
Lake, and the Takhini Hot Springs. In Whitehorse, I also enjoyed watching the” Frantic Follies Vaudeville Revue,” a very popular and entertaining show that’s presented in the Westmark Whitehorse Hotel. There were, of course, some high-kicking girls, and some audience participation, but one of the funniest skits was a re-enactment of the cremation of Sam McGee, based on Robert Service’s gold-rush era poem about the gold-seeker who could never get warm in the Yukon until he was contentedly cremated. Service wrote: There are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold; The Arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold; The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGee. Indeed, the Gold Rush era is still very much a part of Whitehorse, and the role of Robert Service, who lived here for a few years, is fondly remembered. There’s a Robert Service Road, a bust near where he lived, and a Memorial Desk sculpture in the downtown core. For more information: www.yukoninfo.com/whitehorse-yukon

Quinte Conservation says green lawns not as important as drinking water With no end in sight to the dry hot weather Quinte Conservation is telling local residents it’s time to get serious about conserving water. General manager Terry Murphy says, “Based on our monitoring and the phone calls we have received, water levels are low everywhere – not just in the rivers and lakes, but also water under the ground. People on wells rely on this underground water for their water supply. It’s important for homeowners to make a serious decision as to whether having a green lawn is more important than having water to drink or use in the house.” Quinte Conservation and the Low Water Response Team declared a Level 2 Low Water Condition due to lack of rainfall and low flows in local rivers and streams on July 12. The area has been experiencing low water conditions since the beginning of June. A Level 2 Low Water Condition indicates a potentially serious water supply problem. This level often means minor water supply issues are encountered and there is the potential for major supply problems. During a Level 2 Low Water Condition residents, businesses and municipalities are asked to reduce their non-essential water usage by 20 per cent. Non-essential use includes lawn
watering and washing sidewalks and driveways. A Level 2 condition is managed through Conservation Authorities, municipalities and other key provincial agencies. Low water conditions are ranked as Level 1, 2 or 3 based on a prolonged period of low flows or precipitation. A Level 1 is the least severe and Level 3 is the most severe. Murphy adds, “As I drive around the watershed I’m glad to see that many of our residents, businesses and municipalities are taking the call to conserve water seriously. The message needs to get across to everyone. We have only received approximately 50 per cent of average rainfall across the watershed over the past three months and there is little to no rain in the forecast for the coming days. This means that water conservation is important now and may be more so as the summer progresses.” The environmental organization is encouraging any individuals or businesses in the Quinte watersheds who experience problems or hardships, such as wells going dry, to contact Quinte Conservation by calling 613-968-3434 or 613-354-3312 and dialing extension 130. Reports can also be emailed to info@quinteconservation.ca. These reports will help the organiza-
tion track the impacts of the Low Water Condition. Murphy says, “In the summer months close to 50 per cent of water usage in the average home happens in the lawn and garden. Hand watering vegetable gardens in the morning and not watering the lawn can go a long way toward conserving water. “A brown lawn in a hot dry summer does not mean the grass is dead – it’s only dormant. There is a small part of the plant, called the crown, that is still alive and after rainfall the grass will green up in one to two weeks.” Quinte Conservation reminds the public that fires are not allowed at local conservation areas. The local environmental agency will continue to monitor precipitation and stream flows and provide updates. Quinte Conservation encourages everyone to use water wisely and apply water conservation measures. Tips on water conservation can be found on the Quinte Conservation website at www. quinteconservation.ca. Quinte Conservation is the lead for the local Water Response Team (WRT) for all of Prince Edward County and the watersheds of the Moira, Napanee Water levels are so low now that the rock surface of the Moira River in Belleville can be seen. Quinte Conservation is desperately urging residents to conserve water. Photo by Chris Malette and Salmon rivers.

You can help save the bees your garden, park or campsite and upload to Bumblebeewatch.org. The Canadian member of Friends of the Earth International, one of the world’s largest grassroots environmental organizations, is partnering with Bumble Bee Watch to
deliver the first ever Great Canadian Bumble Bee Count. Bumble Bee Watch, created by scientists from the Xerces Society, York University and Wildlife Preservation Canada, is an ambitious citizenscience project that asks people to take pictures of bumble bees when they see them, note their location and upload them online, where they will be verified by a team of researchers. For our Great Canadian Bumble Bee Count, we want to help Bumble Bee Watch’s researchers by seeing how many bumble bees we can find across Canada from now until August 15. Bumble bees are effective pollinators for many of the crops we eat and for many of the wildflowers in our fields and forests, but several of their species are dramatically declining. Though there are over 40 confirmed species of bumble bees in Canada, they have little proper monitoring. Anyone can help keep track of and protect these bees by participating in the Great Canadian Bumble Bee Count and joining Bumble Bee Watch today. All you need is a camera and some curiosity to find the bees in your town! Details: www.foecanada.org/

Gosh it’s been hot
Dan Clost Gentle Reader, I fervently hope the title of this column is accurate. I prepare these columns four or five days in advance of printing so it is sometimes difficult to get the timing just write. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is that it will continue to remain hot with perhaps rain this upcoming Sunday. (It rained Monday – editor’s note). Yep, I believe it. Here’s what I think: forecasters are in cahoots with the government and they dangle the metaphorical carrot in front of us (e.g. cooler temps and rain in only five more days). That gives us all something to hang onto and keep our grumpiness in check. I remember looking at the forecast for this Monday (past Monday at the time of your reading) almost a week ago- it was supposed to be cooler with rain. (Side note: whoever said time was lin-
ear?) That has now been pushed ahead to next Sunday. GR, It is purely coincidental that I have Mahler’s Resurrection (Symphony No. 2 in C minor) playing in the background. Now, truth be told, I am not the first person to publicly declare this conspiracy; Rick Mercer who made a similar observation during a particularly brutal cold snap on his television show. It is he who made me aware. Here are some heat related observations: Home owners and others who have greenswards have demonstrated remarkable solidarity- dormant lawns abound with very few exceptions. I know that the City of Quinte West has deliberately reduced their watering regimen and I suspect the other municipalities are doing the same. As of the time of writing this (see above) we’re in a Level 2 Drought category which means there are minor disruptions in water supply with the potential of that changing for the worse. We’re asked to voluntarily restrict our consumption by 20%. On our estate, we are spot watering those plants which are in imminent danger such as recently planted trees and shrubs; except for a few hanging baskets, the annuals are on their own. We set up a sprinkler at its lowest setting to allow for gradual wetting of the soil in the root zone of the plant in question. It’s a balance between the ultimate benefit of the plant (and its cost) with the impositions of the weather.

I want my vines back. Last year we had the wood trim painted on our house. This meant we cut back a lot of the Boston Ivy that was covering up the brick on the west and south sides of the building. It is slowly reclaiming the walls, but not quickly enough. It is surprising how much those leaves, with the air space between them and the brick, moderated our indoor temperatures.

Landlords propose challenge to save water The Quinte Landlords Association is challenging all landlords and tenants in the region to do their part in conserving water. The association has joined forces with Quinte Conservation to educate both landlords and the thousands of tenants in the region how to help conserve the local watershed. The association is distributing the conservation authorities’ water savings tip sheet to all of its members and asking that they be put in the hands of tenants. They are also calling on nonmember landlords to do the same. Association president Robert Gentile says “we’re asking all landlords to get this tip sheet widely distributed. Email them, hand deliver, slip them under the doors, post them in the hallways, everywhere. Thousands of Quinte residents are renters and may not be aware how much they can collectively make a difference. As landlords we have the ability to deliver this message to them directly.” The conservation authority oversees the watersheds of the Moira, Salmon and Napanee rivers. Officials have recently declared a Level 2 low-water condition, the second most severe of three levels. The authority is calling on all residents and businesses to reduce water usage by 20%. However by following the tip sheet this figure can increase to 40%. According to the tip sheet “The average Canadian household uses over 500,000
litres of water per year, with some estimates showing at least 50% of water use is unnecessary and wasteful. The average person in Ontario uses 285 litres of water a day. In the summer months, 50% of household water is used in the lawn and garden. The greatest water uses in an average home are: • toilet (45%) • showers (30%) • laundry (20%) • drinking and cooking (5%) Gentile says “Tenants don’t just live in apartment buildings, they rent town houses, semi-detached, fully detached homes, cottages, and even farms. In many cases where the landlord pays the water bill, tenants may not even think of how much they are using. This is a perfect recipe for massive waste and given the level 2 low water warning, it’s time for us to take action.” Quinte Conservation’s General Manager Terry Murphy says “This is a great partnership with Quinte Landlords to get the message out to a lot of residents. We have 125,000 people living in our watershed and everyone does a little bit it means a big deal to the water supply.” For tenants living in apartments without lawns and gardens who think they can’t do too much to help Murphy says otherwise. “Our tip sheet has a lot of things apartment dwellers can do to help. They may appear minor but if everyone is doing them they all add up to make a big difference.”
“Our message is not only about conserving water, but to help people understand the consequences if we run out. We get calls from people all the time who are on wells that have gone dry and they have kids. So when they drive by and see people watering their lawns they are getting really frustrated.” “We’re not saying stop using water, we’re saying use it wisely. For example if you have a small veggie garden, water it at night so it doesn’t evaporate and is better for the plants. During the day the sun evaporates it quickly and burns the plants.” For Gentile, water wastage is personal. Gentile says he’s always been a water miser since he grew up on a farm where everyone knew the well could go dry, which is why water wastage frustrates him. “I see people all the time doing absolutely ridiculous things which wastes water. Letting the tap run full blast when doing dishes or brushing teeth, hosing down the driveway, taking 30 minute showers, letting a leaky toilet go on for months. Honestly, people need a slap upside the head to get some common sense and think about the impact of their actions.” Landlords, property managers and tenants who want a copy of the Water Savings Tip Sheet can download it from the Quinte Conservation Authority’s website or by requesting an emailed copy from the Quinte Quinte Landlord’s Association President Robert Gentile and Quinte ConserLandlord’s Association at 613-707-3879 or vation General Manager Terry Murphy urge all landlords to get this water savings tip sheet into the hands of thousands of tenants.

Healthy Kids Community Challenge launches a new theme - Water Does Wonders. The Healthy Kids Community Challenge is launching a new theme in Hastings and Prince Edward counties, Water Does Wonders, which encourages kids and their families to drink more water. Water Does Wonders is the second theme of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, which promotes children’s health through physical activity, healthy eating, and other healthy habits. The Water Does Wonders theme will run from July 2016 to March 2017. “I am excited to move forward with the second theme of Ontario’s Healthy Kids Community Challenge, encouraging kids and their families to drink water instead of sugary drinks,” said Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. “Helping kids and their families to make healthy choices in their everyday lives is an important part of our plan to help Ontarians lead happier, healthier lives.” “The Healthy Kids Community Challenge has introduced a number of great initiatives in Hastings and Prince Edward counties,” said JoAnne Albert, Mayor of Tweed. “I look forward to seeing the positive influence that this next theme will have on our children’s health and well-being.”
As a part of the Water Does Wonders theme, programs and activities will be introduced over the next nine months throughout Hastings and Prince Edward Counties to encourage kids and their families to choose water as a healthy alternative to sugar-sweetened beverages. “We have lots of great activities planned as a part of this theme, including a social marketing campaign, community hydration stations, a water education month in schools, competitions, and much more,” said local project manager for the challenge, Emma Pillsworth. “There will be a number of opportunities for kids, families, and other community members to participate in Water Does Wonders activities in schools and at community events.” Hastings and Prince Edward counties join 44 other communities across Ontario taking part in Ontario’s Healthy Kids Community Challenge. The Healthy Kids Community Challenge unites communities with a common goal of promoting children’s health through physical activity, healthy eating and other healthy habits. Hastings and Prince Edward counties are receiving up to $1,125,000 over three years from the Ontario government to fund the Healthy

Kids Community Challenge. As a part of theme one of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, Run. Jump. Play. Every Day., Hastings and Prince Edward Counties implemented a number of initiatives, including a series of professional development days for educators and recreation leaders, physical literacy nights for parents, and equipment giveaways. Here are some quick facts about the Water Does Wonders theme * Water makes up more than half of a child’s body weight, which means water is essential to keep their bodies working and growing properly. * Water is the natural choice for kids to stay healthy and hydrated. With water, there’s no need to worry about sugar, calories, additives, preservatives, or caffeine. * Dietary preferences are established between the ages of zero and four, laying the foundation for eating habits later in life. Research has shown that when children are used to consuming water at a young age, they are more likely to drink water later in life.
