Presqu’ile community celebrates with fun in the sun BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – For decades Presqu’ile families and neighbours have rallied together around this time of year with one purpose. Family fun is a priority amongst the Presqu’ile residential community – so much so, the Presqu’ile Point Property Owners’ Association has marked a day for it. On Saturday, Aug. 5, Sheila and Andrew Buchan organized this year’s Family Fun Day, on behalf of the association. “For all the kids to come together like this, it’s a big deal for them,” said Sheila. The families of Presqu’ile have hosted the event for decades, for both those who live in the residential area of the park and tourists, said Sheila. Last Saturday, the Government Dock park area was sparkling with more than just the normal blue and green colours, as kids in all sorts of costumes congregated there, following their parade through the community. Many often parade to the dock area, as their favourite superheroes or in their best princess-inspired attire, while on their bikes. As all the families and kids of Presqu’ile come together, they join in potato sac and water sponge races, shoe tosses and other activities like bubblegum blowing competitions. “It’s just a fun day for the kids of Presqu’ile, the kids who once benefited from the event, as they get older, they come back and help out,” said Sheila. The big event for the community used to be the Presqu’ile Regatta, recalled Sheila. The Family Fun Day event sort of derived from the regatta, she explained. The tradition of families and neighbours gathering together for a day of fun in the sun is one that stems as far back as when the old Presqu’ile hotel stood.

While the event used to focus on more water sports, over the years most of the fun has transferred onto “dry land,” joked Sheila. Sheila and Andrew took over hosting the Family Fun Day last year. The McRae family formerly hosted the event. For many grandparents, the Family Fun Day is a “can’t miss event.”

Peter and Betty Horton bring the grandkids almost every year. Their five grandkids, Megan, Amy, Lizzie, Sarah and Rachel, won the prize for the best team costume last Saturday. Kate Lewis usually brings her grandkids too. “It’s quite a nice thing for the kids, they love it,” she said.

Lyme disease shouldn’t bite into your vacation, say health officials BY SARAH HYATT

Northumberland – Health unit staffers are urging residents to take care when outside this summer, as the eastern part of the county is now considered a “high-risk” area for blacklegged ticks. Summer is suppose to be about fun in the sun and vacationing, but that doesn’t mean a holiday from blacklegged ticks that can spread Lyme disease, Richard Ovcharovich, manager of environmental health for the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit is warning residents. “From Colborne, to east of the border of our jurisdiction, the ministry has identified as a high-risk area, including south to the 401…” said Ovcharovich. Health unit staff is reminding residents, cottagers and campers to protect themselves from tick bites when outside and suggesting folks be on the lookout for blacklegged ticks, as they can carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. Since 2011, the number of cases of Lyme disease in Ontario has been increasing. This is in part, because black-

legged tick populations are expanding to more areas of the province, report staff. As said, in the health unit’s region, the eastern part of the county has now been identified as a high-risk area for blacklegged ticks. The “high-risk” classification comes from the province and is based off of information from the health unit’s surveillance program for Lyme disease. There have been five confirmed human cases of Lyme disease so far this year within the health unit’s region. Though this doesn’t necessarily mean people acquired ticks or the disease in this area, clarified Ovcharovich. At least one of the five may have acquired a tick in another jurisdiction while vacationing reportedly. “While blacklegged tick populations are known to live along the north shore of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, the reality is that people can encounter an infected blacklegged tick almost anywhere in Ontario,” said Ovcharovich. “That makes it important to avoid infected blacklegged ticks anytime

Reduce the risk with these tips: Cover up walking through trails or through tall grass and wear lightcoloured clothing, to make ticks easier to spot and remove, before they bite. Closed footwear, socks, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt are ideal. It’s suggested people tuck pants into socks, when walking in long grass. Staff suggests using an insect repellent or bug spray contacting DEET on both clothes and exposed skin. (Follow manufacturer’s directions). Always check for ticks, following

being outdoors. People should pay special attention to the groin, scalp and armpits. Use finely tipped tweezers and grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible, if you need to remove a tick. Pull it straight out, gently but firmly. After wash the site of the bite thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and/or soap and water. When possible, staff asks residents put ticks into a screw-top bottle and take it to a health-care provider or health unit for testing.

With this said, the health unit is no longer accepting ticks for testing for surveillance in the area east of Colborne and south of Highway 401, as it’s already known that a population of blacklegged ticks is present. Pet owners should discuss tick prevention options with their veterinarians. People can help by also maintaining properties, especially near woodlands and keep grass cut short and bushes and tree branches trimmed, to let in sunlight.

people are outdoors to reduce the risk of Lyme disease.” Ovcharovich describes blacklegged ticks as hitchhikers, as they settle on tall grass and bushes, until they can attach to passing by animals or people. Once attached to a person or animal, ticks will feed on blood and if the blacklegged tick is infected with the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, it can pass the disease on. This is especially probable if the tick has fed for more than 24 hours. Lyme disease can be serious, but when detected early it can also be successfully treated with antibiotics, say health unit staff. What’s more, if a tick is engorged or has been attached to a person for 24 hours, it’s important to “properly and completely remove the tick as soon as possible.” In these cases, health unit staff also strongly recommends people seek medical attention.

Habitat for Humanity, community helps family call Brighton home BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – A family in need of permanent home should have a place to securely rest their heads by the end of the year, as both a lot and house have been donated recently to make it happen. Residents may have noticed the home being transported throughout the streets of Brighton recently towards the end of July, as Habitat for Humanity arranged for the relocation of a home from Centre Street, to Dufferin Street. “Back in May we were able to secure a family for the home, they aren’t living in Brighton right now, but work in the community and have family in Brighton,” said Meaghan Macdonald, executive director for

Habitat for Humanity Northumberland. The family was in need of a home that would accommodate their family size, added Macdonald. The Brighton habitat home makes this the fifth family that will benefit this year through the organization’s homeownership program. The Municipality of Brighton donated the lot for the home on Dufferin Street and Bob and Sue Macklin donated the house. The process to have this house donated started some years ago, when the homeowners approached Habitat for Humanity about potentially donating their home to the organization, said Macdonald. At that time, the organization hadn’t relocated a home before. But the idea interested

Habitat for Humanity. At the end of July, the timing was finally right for both the homeowners and organization for the house to be relocated. This is a very efficient way for both habitat and families in need of hand-up, said Macdonald. This is promoting even more affordable housing, as this is an existing structure being relocated, rather than a new home being built, which obviously requires a substantially larger investment, added the director. Habitat for Humanity did eventually relocate another home. It went well the first time and so the organization decided to run with it. And while the relocation of this home marks only the second time the organization

has moved a house for a family, the hope is there will be more moves like this in the future. Macdonald said Habitat for Humanity is eager to publicly recognize the Macklins and also introduce the family to the community during a groundbreaking ceremony in September. There is still some work that needs to be done to the home before the family moves in, noted Macdonald. The organization asks families through its homeownership program, that they contribute “500 hours of sweat equity,” rather than a down payment on the home. In coming months, the family will be chipping away at those hours.

Macdonald said the plan is to finish the home in the fall and to put the foundation for the home down then. There will also be some “sprucing up,” painting and the like, to adjust the home for the new family’s needs, she said. The hope is work will be completed and the family will be able to move in before the end of 2017. This move is an important part of habitat’s five-year strategic plan, which the board just recently passed, noted Macdonald. Starting in 2017, habitat committed to helping 10 families a year, through both new homes and the organization’s ReNew It program. Habitat will continue to help 10 families a year, five and five through both programs, until 2021.

Dear Editor, As a keen observer of Brighton Council I can only hope that John Martinello’s letter to you titled “Council can learn from US politician” and published in the August 3rd Independent means that he is going to change his ways. As a Councillor he has many times dug his heels in on issues and seemed not to be interested in “compromising in order to make progress in solving problems and find workable

solutions” that Senator McCain spoke to. Two statements stick in my memory regarding the Councillor’s combative approach to Council business: “rancour on this Council is just part of democracy” (7 December 2016) and “the idea that we would always agree would be bad for democracy and a bad thing for the Municipality” (20 March 2017). And who can forget the meeting that was terminated before it started because

Councillor Martinello could not get additional items on the agenda. As well he has recently called for the Mayor to resign – not exactly behaviour that speaks to the better angels of politicians who are supposed to be collaborating for the good of the Brighton community. Ever optimistic, I look forward to changed behaviour and positive collaboration at future Council meetings. Dave Cutler Brighton

OPINION

Nests are getting smaller, with fewer occupants

Venezuela: headed for civil war? There are two stories about the assault on Fuerte Paramacay military barracks in Carabobo state on Sunday. The Venezuelan government says that half the 20 attackers were killed or captured, and the rest are being huntdown. Sgt. Giomar Gwynne Dyer ed Flores, who defected from the Venezuelan navy in June and now lives in Colombia, told The Guardian that the attack had been “a complete success.” “We took four battalions and one put up resistance,” he said, claiming to be in direct contact with the leader of the attack, Capt. Juan Caguaripano. The rebels took “a large amount of weapons,” mostly assault rifles, and got away with no casualties. Whichever story you believe, witnesses agree that large numbers of civilians living near the base in Valencia, the capital of Carabobo, spilled out onto the streets in support of the rebels. Civil war in Venezuela is not yet a reality, but there is ample dry tinder lying around just waiting for a match. The attack came just one week after the election of a “constituent assembly” by the supporters of President Nicolas Maduro’s beleaguered government. It’s hardly surprising that the opposition boycotted the vote, because the purpose of the new assembly is to rewrite the constitution and save Maduro from defeat at the next election. The constituent assembly, which Maduro created by decree, consists exclusively of 545 Maduro supporters. There is no time limit on how long it will sit, nor any restrictions on what it can do. It can, for example, postpone the presidential elections that are due next year indefinitely. This matters a lot, since Maduro would certainly lose in a fair vote – recent estimates put his popular support at around 20 percent. More immediately, it can dissolve the legitimate National Assembly, in which the opposition parties won a two-thirds majority in the December, 2015 election. And it has already fired Prosecutor-General Luisa Ortega, a member of the Socialist Party and former ally of Maduro’s who broke with him over his increasingly arbitrary behaviour. The most threatening thing Ortega did was to open an investigation last week into the vote on 30 July that created the constituent assembly. Since only Maduro’s supporters voted, that would seem irrelevant – but in mid-July the op-

position had held an informal referendum in which seven million people voted against the constituent assembly. Maduro therefore felt the need to claim that more than eight million Venezuelans had voted for the new assembly. Even that would not really be a very impressive turnout in a country of 30 million people – but then the company that supplied the voting machines, SmartMatic, said that the result had been deliberately inflated. At least a million extra votes had been added. Antonio Mugica, the chief executive of SmartMatic, said that all previous elections in Venezuela using their machines had been conducted fairly. “It is, therefore, with the deepest regret that we have to report that the turnout figures on 30 July for the Constituent Assembly in Venezuela were tampered with,” he said. It may have been worse than that. Internal figures from the National Electoral Council (probably shown to Reuters by Luis Rondón, the only one of the five NEC directors who is not a government loyalist), show that only 3.7 million people had voted by 5.30 p.m. – and the polls closed at 7 p.m. Ortega appointed two prosecutors to investigate the other four directors of the NEC, but she is gone now and the investigation will not continue. “This is a dictatorship,” Luisa Ortega said on Sunday, and she is right. Maduro has concluded that he and his Socialist Party can only stay in power by suppressing all opposition, and he is probably right. The regime he inherited in 2013 on the death of its founder, Hugo Chavez, was once genuinely popular and won free elections, but four years of falling oil prices, economic mismanagement and growing corruption have put an end to that. The street protests against Maduro have lasted four months now, and at least 120 people have been killed. Inflation is 1,600 per cent, food and medicines are scarce, and the murder rate is among the highest in the world. The generals are richly rewarded for serving the regime, but rank-and-file soldiers earn a couple of dozen dollars a month. Venezuela is a tinderbox. There are hundreds of thousands of devoted supporters of the “Chavista” regime, and the government has distributed weapons to them. If the report that most soldiers did not resist the attack on the Valencia barracks is true, the army may be about to split. The violence in the streets is mutating, with more police casualties as well as the daily toll of demonstrators. There is no worse disaster for a country than a civil war, but Venezuela is drifting towards one.

Editorial by John Campbell According to the 2016 Census, Canada grew by five per cent between 2011 and 2016 to slightly more than 35 million. During the same period the proportion of seniors grew by 20 per cent, the largest such increase since Confederation. As of last year, there were more seniors, 5.9 million, than there were children 14 years of age and younger, 5.8 million. A babysitter for every child, statistically speaking – if all those baby boomers were grandparents, in good shape, and inclined to offer at no charge and with little inducement occasional respite to frazzled parents. It also came out, in the third set of census results released last week, that, proportionally, there are more people living alone or as part of a childless couple than there are households of a mom, dad and kids. The evolution of Father Knows Best to Married ... Without Children to Home Alone continues. Where once, in the 19th century, large rural families consisted of a married couple and several children, with the average number of people in a household being 5.6, that number has now dropped to 2.4. Nests have decidedly got smaller. Statistics Canada further noted one-person households have become the most common type in Canada for the first time in our nation’s history, representing 28.2 per cent of all households, the highest share ever. Either Three Dog Night had it wrong, and one isn’t the loneliest number, or circumstances are forcing more people to live alone rather than of their own choosing. With an aging population, the odds of losing a partner to natural causes does increase. But Stats Can also cites other factors that contribute to more people living as onesomes rather than twosomes, such as higher separation and divorce rates, which happens when growing apart breaks the ties that bind. The chances are good that the one-person household is distinctly female, as women have a longer life expectancy than men (and lower expectations of wielding power and earning the same rate of pay, but that’s a subject for anoth-

er editorial, which the distaff members of this paper’s staff are welcome to write – at 75 per cent of what their male colleagues are paid, in general, according to a report last year, Making Women Count). In 2016, 50.9 per cent of the population was female and, says Stats Can, “this proportion is likely to continue to increase as the large generation of baby boomers grows older.” That’s good news for aging Lotharios who still have a (good) eye for the ladies, and other working parts, and can look forward to a wider playing field – and a level one, they hope, as in horizontal – but it can’t be comforting knowing they will have to act quickly before the Grim Reaper comes a-calling for those still sowing their wild oats. Digging deeper – actually, reading the news release further – it comes as a surprise to learn that while twice as many women who are seniors live alone as do men 65 and older, 33 per cent compared with 17. 5 per cent, that proportion is down from 2001, when 38.3 per cent of older females were on their own, and having to open jars themselves. And more senior women are living in coupledom, 51.4 per cent, than was the case in 2001, when the proportion was 44.4 per cent. Either the guys are living longer and behaving tolerably, or they’ve stopped being clueless and can be taken out in polite society. (Stats Can offers no position on this.) Which brings us waywardly to Trent Hills council’s brief discussion of storage containers being converted into tiny houses – domiciles on wheels no more than 30 square metres in size. They’re a growing trend and are being used to accommodate the desire of property owners to downsize – by a lot (which, incidentally, they’ll have to do as well: buy a lot). With the number of one-person households on the rise, and the population getting older and shrinking (aging will do that to the body), wee living quarters make perfect sense in today’s world. As would remaking a popular TV series and calling it Tiny House on the Prairie, featuring Laura (and her cat).

Ghosts of Presqu’ile’s past return for History Weekend BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – Local residents and tourists caught a glimpse of what life was like some 200 years ago while visiting Presqu’ile Provincial Park last weekend. With old-fashioned fun and games, boat-building bees, a look at both the sinking of the Speedy and at a soldier’s life during the War of 1812, hundreds found their way to Presqu’ile for the longweekend and took a stroll back in time. “This year we really wanted a focus to be on people and kids playing and doing history, rather than just listening to someone talk about history,” said Allyson Parker, head park naturalist, about Presqu’ile’s History Weekend event. “We thought this might help some people better connect.” New this year, an event titled ‘A Soldier’s Life for Me’ was added to the weekend lineup. The event offered kids and families a realistic glimpse at the ways of life for soldiers and people, back during the War of 1812. “So we had kids performing drills that soldiers did during the war some 200 years ago this weekend,” said Parker. The new event was Parker’s idea and the drills actually based from an 1807 drill manual. Down by the lighthouse, park staff put together a historic village-type setting for the event, which included a bell tent, costumes, tools and weapons even. Kids and families took part in games from the era, tried on costumes and even learned about the types of medicines used during the war, in between trying their hands at soldiers’ drills and carrying muskets. For those who missed the event, there will be more opportunities to revisit the life of a soldier, said Parker. Park staff is hosting the event every other Sunday at Presqu’ile for the reminder of the summer. In addition to soldiers from 1812, war surgeons from the era and “old-fashioned cottagers” also made appearances at the two-day event. For more than 25 years, history weekend at the park has been a long-time tradition which puts

Presqu’ile’s storied past on display. Through plays and reenactments, kids’ programming, oldtime 1900s-themed picnics and entertainment, and a Calithumpian parade even, people learn about ways of life that have long passed. The Calithumpian parade is actually said to be one of the most historically accurate events of the weekend, which people often dress in silly costumes and bring noisemakers like pots and pans for. After a wedding or during a festival, such a parade was a common way to celebrate. As the event draws in both newcomers and returnees, the ultimate goal is to ensure local history lives on. And over time, Presqu’ile’s saw a fair portion of action, from the rumrunner and pioneer days, to the sinking of the schooner Speedy. In other words, soldiers, surgeons and old-time cottagers weren’t the only ghosts from the past to return to Presqu’ile recently. “We try to visit different time periods, eras and themes throughout the event,” said Parker. One of the themes this year was “Presqu’ile’s forgotten history,” which focused on a few events that are sometimes overlooked. “So we looked at the role Presqu’ile played during World War II and what happened to the people who were here, back when the Speedy sunk and they thought there wouldn’t be a town after that,” said Parker.

Brighton’s Own:

Giving up show business for the best job — parenting BY VIC SCHUKOV

While in elementary school in Toronto, Brenda Wyles won several awards in public speaking. In Grade 8, she gave a speech after which her teacher said to the class: “I had to give Brenda a 100 per cent not only for her topic but for her poise. Brenda has absolutely perfect diction. I cannot fault a single word she said.” Wyles went on to compete in other districts, winning yet more accolades. “I found," said Wyles, “that being on stage was a real kick.” Wyles pursued a diploma in Foods Admin/Business at Ryerson University. “We were all called home economists in those days. I majored in food photography and nutrition, going for the more artsy end of things.” During a college tour of a consumer (kitchen) appliance company, she auditioned for the high-profile spokesperson on-public-stage position of Betty Brite girl: “It was an entertainer’s spot, and I just missed getting it.” Upon graduating, with her exceptional interpersonal communication skills, she screen-tested and landed a contract with Niagara Television Ltd. on a new daily afternoon TV (channel 11 CHCH Hamilton) cooking show called Secrets From The Kitchens: “At 22 years old, I was calling up five guest chefs every week for the interview segment hosted by John Gilbert of CHUM radio. I was his stand-in on camera, someone with which to byplay. We were getting lots of letters from people wondering when Brenda was going to cook something. It was so much fun. I was not camera-shy.” When the show was not renewed after three years later, she was offered another TV spot in a show that would allow her to travel around the world. She decided instead to work only part-time in

order to be a stay-at-home mom. She “flipped around” with a number of organizations — one being the Federal Dept. of Consumer and Corporate Affairs — in media and government relations involving public appearances at women’s groups, and radio interviews. In 1992, she worked for the York Region District School Board in administrative support of the Curriculum Department’s mandate. But, food was always in her blood. “I think cooking is an art. For me, a meal is about presentation, and trying to make it a pleasurable experience. Growing up, we were always in the kitchen working as a family.” Considered a good cook, she keeps a brown cardboard box full of recipes she tries out on her “guinea pig” friends. (Who always take home her leftovers.) Trained in nutrition, she is interested in new research. “There is always something new to learn. We can’t all live in the past. The Canada Food Guide is outdated. Based on my experience, I think that we need to review the amount of recommended carbs, stick with the green vegetables, and reduce grains. Protein should be fish and chicken. Some people are unknowingly intolerant to wheat and dairy. It’s about moderation and paying attention.” Since retiring to Brighton in 2007, she is involved in the community, volunteering at the Christian Clothing Depot and serving as secretary at Presque’ile Probus. Early on, Wyles placed her promising career on the back burner, choosing to stay at home and raise her children. Her priority being their emotional well-being, she recognized the importance of their development in the formative years. She felt this was the most important ‘job’ of her life; she learned this from growing up in a wonderful family environment where her mother stayed at home. “How we are raised has a great bearing on who we become as

adults. We learn from what we see while growing up. I live my life trying to emulate the special gifts my parents gave me. I want to make people feel good, to be able to support them.” Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a longtime journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people.

Cramahe celebrates 225 years

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

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Cramahe Township – It was a busy weekend in Cramahe Township and with good reason: the municipality was celebrating 150 years of Canada and the 225th anniversary of its own existence. The three days of events included a special evening with local acclaimed author Jane Urquhart, a musical revue, a heritage tea, a ball tournament, a car rally, a quilt show, a genealogy display, a fun fayre, and the township’s first artists and artisans studio tour. MP Kim Rudd noted in her address at the opening ceremonies that Cramahe has a “very illustrious history” that includes World War One hero Charles Rutherford, Canada’s longest-serving postmistress Eliza Padginton (the subject of the latest Cramahe Moment heritage film) and Vi Milstead Warren, one of the few female aviators to fly in World War Two. “We celebrate a nation that has come together not forged in fire but a nation brought together by a mutual set of shared values to build prosperous and engaged communities and that’s where we are today,” Rudd said. Canadians are fortunate to live in a country where its diversity is celebrated and “rightly identified as a source of our strength.” If Joseph Keeler, the founder of Colborne and Castleton in the early 1800s, Castleton’s Alyson Traynor, 9, had a wheely could see “what Cramahe looks like to- good time at the fun fayre. John Campbell/Metroland day, I think he would be very proud,” Rudd said, speaking at the centre that bears his name.

Jam Fest returns to light up downtown Brighton Aug. 12 BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – Local musicians are set to rock the downtown as the third annual Jam Fest returns to Memorial Park. A lot like an open mic event, just outdoors, Jam Fest returns on Saturday, Aug. 12. “We started this as a way to have some fun, but also so we could give back to the community a bit,” said Frank Blanchet, a local musician and founder and organizer. Blanchet and Bert Bowers, another local musician, are the men behind Jam Fest. Residents may recognize the duo, as they play downtown Main Street in the summers, on Thursdays and Saturdays. Jam Fest is also a fundraiser and this year, proceeds will help with upgrades at the park. The estimated $115,000 project, last discussed during budget deliberations, includes a new stage facility and public washrooms, which would be accessible to all residents, including people with disabilities.

Municipal staff were said to be working with the Rotary Club of Brighton during budget deliberations, to develop a plan for the project. A number of parties, including the rotary club and municipality have committed funds for the project, while work is underway to secure provincial funding. Blanchet and Bowers are hoping the community may further help through Jam Fest. The primary focus for the project, as outlined, will be to improve accessibility at the park, which will cost a significant amount. With that said, there are reportedly other uses for the new stage area being looked at, including the potential for a drop-down screen for movie nights. In other words, the new stage area could be used for more than just performance and ceremonial purposes. Jam Fest raised more than $5,000 for Sunny Days last year. “So we did pretty good, but we don’t have a fundraising goal,” said Blanchet. “Obviously the more people that come out, the better.”

It seemed fitting, the pair admit, that Jam Fest support upgrades to the park. A lot of local musicians use the park to share what they do, said Blanchet. Elaine Poot, past president for the Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA), made the suggestion proceeds go back to the park while the project is in motion. Bowers and Blanchet didn’t have to think twice. The DBIA also sponsors the duo’s summer performances and Jam Fest. The event invites people of all ages and residents with all artistic or musical interests to share what they do with their community, whether someone wants to sing, play guitar or even recite a poem, said Blanchet. Those interested in performing can sign up on the day of or message Bowers via the Brighton Legion Open Mic Night Facebook page. (The duo also hosts the open mic nights). For young musicians, this is a chance at some practice.

Other performers may just be keen to share what they do. Bowers likes to encourage young musicians, as eventually, Memorial Park and the community will belong to them, he said. A couple high school kids and some even younger, including one 10-year-old girl are already set to hit the stage for the event. Bowers recalls his Grade 5 music teacher telling him he could never sing. It was a long time before he got over that. When children are encouraged, “it’s amazing what they can do,” he said. For those performing for the first time, that’s an important first step, added Blanchet. Through the open mic nights, the duo has seen performers go from being terrified, to 100 per cent confident and it’s truly something special to see, they say. For anyone with worries over performing, the duo is open to talking with artists and can share their experiences. Bowers started playing music after a college classmate showed up with a five-string banjo. He

bought one shortly after and taught himself to play. The next summer, he bought a guitar for $5 at an auction. He left behind music for a while, after having a family and life took up more of his time, but started playing again a few years ago. “So those who haven’t dusted off the guitar that’s been hiding away in the closet since Grade 12 and life and kids happened, you’re welcome too. Take the chance to rediscover old passions,” insists Blanchet. Blanchet’s played the guitar for more than 20 years; he also plays the ukulele and the keyboard. Throughout the years, he’s found ways to incorporate his love for music into his work. As a teacher in the public school and prison systems, he used music as a tool to reach students. Mostly, Jam Fest is meant to serve as a “no-pressure event.” It’s not a talent show, “we really try to make that clear to people,” said Blanchet. The event starts at 10 a.m. and finishes around 4 p.m.

Talking about cancer Bert Bowers and Frank Blanchet perform in downtown Brighton. Telling children • Be clear and direct. • Pick a time when you feel calm and have another adult with you. • Give children some basic information about the cancer, such as the name of the cancer, the body part it affects and the treatment and its possible side effects. • Tell children that nothing they did caused the cancer. • Reassure children that they cannot “catch” cancer from you. • Reassure them that you will let them know what is happening and if anything changes. Telling family and friends • Have someone who already knows about the diagnosis • Make sure they understand what you are saying. with you if you think that might help. • Ease into the conversation by saying something like: Telling colleagues and managers at work • Tell people you work with about the diagnosis “I have something serious to talk to you about.” and treatment you will have. • Give information in small chunks, a few sentences at a time. Check to make sure that the person understands. • Let your manager know how long you may need to be away from work. • Don’t worry about silences. You may find that holding • Advise your manager if you have treatments hands or sitting together quietly says enough. scheduled during work hours. Talking about your diagnosis can be one of the most difficult parts of coping with cancer. Having to tell the same news to your family, friends, colleagues and others can get tiring and stressful. It’s common to worry about how other people will react to your news. If you just don’t know how to begin or what to say, you’re not alone. There are certain details of your diagnosis that you may want to tell others about and some you won’t. Who you tell and how you talk about it will be different based on your relationship with the other person. The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has some tips about how to talk to others about your diagnosis.

Seniors Today When is the right time to leave ‘home’?

Few people like to admit their age is affecting them. However, as we age, certain abilities become compromised, and it may no longer be practical for aging men and women to remain in their homes, or at least live there alone. Comfortable living alone may be a signal to an older adult that he or she still has independence. Taking away a license or suggesting a move may cause feelings of animosity. But at some point in time, friends or family members of an aging man or woman might need to broach the topic of moving to an assisted living facility. Such a discussion can be difficult, but having some evidence that a change is necessary may make the news easier to process. Sometimes the older adult may have already made the decision that a move is necessary, which will make the process even easier. Moving should never be a knee-jerk reaction unless there is a sudden medical emergency that necessitates fast action. Under normal

circumstance, moving should be a gradual process that begins even before a parent, grandparent or other relative really needs to change residences. Here are some steps to keep in mind. • Make sure to develop a strong relationship with your loved one. This relation ship should be consistent and keep you in frequent contact so you can best assess his or her living situation. • Talk things over with other siblings or relatives to see if others feel the same way you do Perhaps they have a different point of view. • If there are problems at home, make your case by pointing them out. Show the elder adult how day-to-day life has grown more difficult and how certain burdens may be lifted by changing living situations. • Indicate that access to health care and a safe environment are some of the key benefits of moving to a senior community. Point out other benefits; such as companionship with similarly aged people, activities,

transportation, and the presence of a maintenance staff to ensure nothing falls into disrepair. • Do your research and have the names and amenities of different residences available to discuss. Request brochures from senior communities and offer to make trips to view the homes together with your senior relative. • If the idea of a “home” is not what your loved one has in mind, discuss the options of moving in with a relative and if this would be a more comfortable situation. • You may need a mediator or help with finding the right fit for a loved one. Consider hiring a geriatric care manager to help you organize your thoughts and priorities regarding a senior living transition. These individuals provide services that include helping families locate appropriate housing and care service for their loved ones.

It is these brave few we honour.

8 Wing pilot reflects on time aloft in B.C. wildfire operations BY MARTIN DURKIN

Capt. Skye Simpson of 436 Transport Squadron (TS) is currently flying her second mission as part of Operation LENTUS — and this year, she’s doing her part as a member of 8 Wing Trenton to help out in the British Columbia fires. Her first mission with Operation LENTUS was the previous year, when she was part of the support team battling the fires at Fort McMurray, Alta. While the original idea was to be ready to help in evacuations if needed, 8 Wing’s role in B.C. has also focused on delivering supplies and helping out the local firefighters by dropping them off in needed locations. “I expect to be here at least another week, because we are here for the province as they need us,” said Capt. Simpson. Capt. Simpson says the devastation in B.C. is quite obvious. As she flies over, the plumes of smoke make visibility difficult, especially in the valleys where it is now settling. “We were actually called in for an expected evacuation at Williams Lake,” said Capt. Simpson. “The runway, which we touched down on because it was supposed to have a clear way, because of a zero tree line, was on fire.” Her team had to change course, since the area was officially deemed a national forest fire. “The smoke was so thick, it was almost like you were in a coastal fog,” explained Capt. Simpson. While they did find a place to land at Williams Lake, the highways were able to stay open around the area and people were able to escape. Helicopters were also brought in to medevac anyone needing medical attention. In comparison to Fort McMurray last year, Capt. Simpson says the mass evacuations in B.C. are running much more

smoothly because of highways staying open, and also because those involved are operating in a more proactive way. Living in Ontario and away from the fires out west, Capt. Simpson says it’s still all about perspective. “The nature of disaster is it’s unforeseen,” said Capt. Simpson. “Ask anyone in B.C. two months ago how lucky they felt, or think about the flooding in Ontario. You can’t take your situation for granted and don’t underestimate nature.” As a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Capt. Simpson says being a part of operations such as LENTUS can leave you speechless at times, knowing you are doing your part for the national community. “When we do a mission like this in Canada, with Canadians, it’s so fulfilling,” explained Capt. Simpson, who recognizes the connection that is created when one is working alongside those who could easily be friends or family. “Yesterday, when we took off and we had these firefighters in the back of the plane, we could hear them cheering, and that feeling it’s just … well … it’s….” said Capt. Simpson, who couldn’t find the words to describe it. There is never any hesitation when being called upon to help out your fellow citizens during operations such as LENTUS. Capt. Simpson says she will be ready for a third mission if called upon again. That being said, she is ready to get back to Trenton for one big reason: to see her common law partner, Capt. Graham Voreen, who is a pilot at 8 Wing with 437 Airbus — and who is also preparing to fly to Germany for his own mission. “It’s the nature of the job,” said Capt. Simpson. “We do understand the complexity of

the job and the multiple changes that happen to our schedules. But, we both understand what this job means to us.” By cheering one another on and being supportive, Capt. Simpson says they find ways to make the most of their time together, and in between, you simply love the job you’re in. Echoing her sentiments, Capt. Voreen says he is very proud of his partner and agreed there was no other job like being a pilot in the Canadian military. “If you are committed to the job and to each other as we are, you find ways to stay strong and be creative,” said Capt. Voreen. Knowing communication is vital, Capt. Voreen says no matter the time zone, you make the effort to call when away — whether it’s over breakfast, a break time or during the dinner hour. “There are times when we can go months without seeing each other because of deployments, but there is also times when we are together for long stretches, and we can plan vacations together and recharge our batteries,” explained Capt. Voreen, who mentioned they had just returned from a stay in Europe before heading out once more. Lucky enough to be both serving on the same base, Capt. Voreen says he loves seeing and knowing the fulfilment Capt. Simpson receives by being able to help out her fellow Canadians. “I am very proud of her. She has worked very hard to get where she is and I support her as best as I can, and will always encourage her to go after all of her goals and be the best pilot that she can be for 436 Transport Squadron.”

Young sisters, family push back against Kawasaki Disease BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – At six and eight years old, Lorelai and Presley Dean are already trying to make the world a better place for generations to come. At Memorial Park last weekend, the girls celebrated their birthdays with the community and in lieu of presents, they asked people make donations to Kawasaki Disease Canada. The national charity stands to promote awareness, supports families affected by the disease and aims to advance research, with the hopes that one day the disease will be eradicated from the world. “Lorelai was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease when she was just six months old,” said the girls’ mom, Melissa Brant. Following her daughters’ diagnosis, Brant felt she “needed to do something.” For the last two years, Brant and her husband Jeremy Dean have held fundraisers at the park, right around this time of year, with proceeds going to Kawasaki Disease Canada. This year, the girls suggested they combine their birthdays with the fundraiser and do away with birthday presents, said the proud mom. Lorelai and Presley celebrated their birthdays with the community, on Saturday, Aug. 5. Memorial Park was filled with the kids’ laughter for the day, as ‘Razberry’ the clown visited and of course, there was cake and games and a photo booth. Lorelai is eight years old as of Aug. 8 and Presley, six years old, as of Aug. 9. Having their birthday in the park was enough for the girls, they say. In reality, Brant’s family was lucky, she said, as Lorelai’s heart was not damaged from the disease, though she does have a small hole in the bottom of her heart. It’s unknown if the hole resulted from the disease or if Lorelai was born with it, because it is so

small, said Brant. “Some kids die from this,” said Brant. “There’s a boy in the United States right now, who’s fighting for his life, because his heart is so damaged…it’s just so brutal.” Kawasaki Disease Canada reports in North America, the disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. The disease, also known as KD, is described as an acute illness that causes in-

Employment Opportunities Currently, we are looking to fill the following vacancies:

flammation in the walls of blood vessels throughout the body, including the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. “We just really want people to know that this disease is out there, because it is so rare and there’s still so much that’s not known about it,” said Brant, who also sits on the board of directors for the national charity. The majority of kids who develop KD are report-

edly five years old or younger, although the disease can affect children who are older and teenagers. The incidence of KD in Canada currently, is estimated yearly to be close to 30 per 100,000 kids under the age of five, reports Kawasaki Disease Canada. Among the early signs and symptoms of the disease is a persistent fever, which lasts five or more days. Treatment within 10 days of the start of the fever however, is said to be highly effective in the prevention of coronary artery complications and most children, given treatment at this time make a complete recovery, without lasting damage. But if the disease goes undetected and without treatment, some 25 per cent of kids develop some abnormalities of the coronary arteries. The cause of the disease is unknown, though it is suspected some type of infectious agent may be the source, which creates an intense immune reaction. There are no diagnostic tests for the disease and medically, before reaching a diagnosis, it’s reportedly largely a process of ruling out other diseases that cause similar signs and symptoms. There is also no evidence that KD is contagious. “The goal really is to spread awareness so no kid has to suffer like this,” said Brant. “Because it’s so rare, a lot of people still don’t know about the disease or understand, even the foundation is fairly new, and we’re really just getting off the ground.” Next year, Brant hopes to host a much larger fundraiser at King Edward Park. What the mom is most eager for the not-for-profit to do, is get more information and supports in places like doctors’ offices even, for when families are faced with a diagnosis of KD. “This way, those families could contact us and talk to people that have been through this,” said Brant. “I remember for us, we were left wondering what to do.

First four members admitted to newly created Order of Cramahe BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Cramahe Township – Four prominent community volunteers became the first members to be admitted to the Order of Cramahe at a special ceremony that kicked off the township’s Canada 150/ Cramahe 225 celebrations Aug. 4. Lenna Broatch, Ed Greenwood, Patti May and Pat Johnston were recognized for their long-term contributions by Jim Williams, chair of the committee that organized the three-day event. Broatch “has applied her talents to many organizations, such as Cramahe Horticultural Society, Salem Cemetery, Old St. Andrew’s Presbyterian and Salem United Churches, Apple Blossom Tyme Festival and Heritage Cramahe, as well as Music in the Square, Cenotaph Restoration and Canada 150 committee,” he said. She has demonstrated “great organizational skills and fiscal integrity” and “developed a wide support network.” When Broatch asks for help, “volunteers respond,” Williams said. The Order of Cramahe award “recognizes her volunteerism and active participation for the betterment of Cramahe Township, highlighting and preserving our past and striving for an improved future.” Greenwood has served on library boards for at least 20 years and been “a tremendous support,” Williams said. “He is open and encouraging and has

always tried to produce solutions to problems.” He also noted that Greenwood “is a well-known author and publisher in the realm of science fiction.” May has been a member of the Colborne Legion since 1977 and was named Legionnaire of the Year in 2012. A life member, she has served as president of the branch three times, for a total of 14 years. May was also in charge of the legion’s Christmas hamper program and worked closely with local food banks and the Salvation Army. She was also involved with the cenotaph committee and other committees over the years. “Patti is deeply involved with the Anglican Church, and is a strong supporter of the community (who is) always available to help out when required,” Williams said. Johnston has been a volunteer “at just about every agricultural event in Northumberland County, including being a long-time executive member of the Northumberland Cattlemen’s Association and the Northumberland Federation of Agriculture.” She was “a driving force behind the Apple Blossom Tyme Festival” and has helped organize it for more than 25 years, Williams said. Johnston also served as librarian of the Colborne library and been involved in the Shiloh Ladies Group, the Dun-

donald Community Centre, and the Cramahe Horticultural Society. Each of the recipients received a sculpture made for the occasion by Hoselton Sculptures. Eight more were made for future presentations as “we thought it important to try to keep this going every year,” Williams said. Mayor Marc Coombs said he was “really pleased” the Order of Cramahe has been established as it has been “long overdue” for volunteers such as the four honoured that night. The opening ceremonies held at the Keeler Centre included presentation of the top three entrants in the library’s sev-

enth annual poetry/short story competitions: junior – Clayton Bowlby (short story), Mia Hutt (short story), Tucker Walsh (short story); open – Joyce Murray (poem), Madison Walsh (short story), Carolyn Campbell (poem); Vandermeer Toyota Poetry Prize – Lila Sundani Cappeletti.

to track down O’Blenis. He did just that as he drove underneath O’Blenis in turn four on lap 16 and over the next four laps drove away to a half straightaway lead. Without another caution, O’Blenis never got a chance to challenge Hennessy for the lead as he claimed the victory by 3.2 seconds. Charlie Sandercock, who was driving in place of an injured Shelby Mills, finished third while Kraig Handley and Adam Whaley rounded out the top-five. Ramsay Claims Pro Stock Win Justin Ramsay’s string of bad luck ended on this week as the Rossmore, Ont. drive found his way back to victory lane in the 20-lap Brighton Automotive Pro Stock Feature. Mike Freeman of Napanee and Jonah Lewis of Shannonville lined-up on the front row and Freeman took advantage of the track position to claim an early lead. A pair of cautions on laps four and six kept the field close and allowed Ramsay to move his way into the top-five. On the lap six restart, Ramsay restarted outside the front row with Freeman, but could not take the lead. Division point leader Doug Anderson made his way to third and ignited a side-by-side battle for second with Ramsay where the two exchanged taps and door rubs. The caution waved again on lap 12 when Lewis spun in turn four to reset the field. Anderson lined up outside Freeman for the restart after taking second from Ramsay one lap prior. The pass proved beneficial to Ramsay, who was handed the inside lane for the restart. As the field rolled into turn one, Freeman’s car broke and darted straight toward the top of turn two, handing the lead to Ramsay while Demorestville driver Wade Purchase navigated through the chaos to claim second. Freeman nursed his car back to the pit area and the race stayed green. Over the final five laps, Purchase knocked repeatedly on Ramsay’s back bumper, but couldn’t gain enough momentum on the outside or off the bottom to pull alongside Ramsay in a bid for the lead. Ramsay’s victory came in his first night back in his primary car after several weeks in backup ride. Purchase and Anderson completed the podium while Chris Dorland of Demorestville and Warren Mowat of Trenton, Ont. completed the top five. French Tops Comp 4s A three-month winless streak ended on Saturday night for Bill’s Johns Comp 4 point leader Tyler French as he drove his No.0 to Victory Lane in the final round of the ABC Taxi Triple Crown after a hard fought battle at the front of the field. Matt French started on the pole and led the opening lap while the field raced four and five-wide behind him in a chaotic battle to decide the top-five runners.

Pepper motorcycle races Saturday at Exhibition track in Belleville BY DON EMPEY

Belleville - The thundering roar of motorcycles will return to the half-mile oval at the Quinte Exhibition Fairgrounds in Belleville as more than 140 riders invade the track on Saturday Aug. 12 for the second running of the George Pepper Classic dirt track races. This year, the Belleville Agricultural Society and the Bayside Riders will host Flat Track Canada’s Round 5 of the 2017 Canadian National Series. Series leader — No. 49, Brodie Buchan, riding out of Leamington — will need to be in top form at the mid-point of the season. Buchan is coming off a huge recent victory at Flamboro Downs, just ahead of former No. 1 plate-holder Don Taylor. Taylor, currently sitting fifth in the point standings, will be hard on the charge and looking to regain his momentum in Belleville. Between the toptwo and looking to climb, will be Tyler Seguin, veteran Chris Evans and Dave Pouliot.

Several local riders will also be competing on Saturday. Leading the Open ATV class is No. 19, Picton’s Adam Minnie, while Carrying Place rider Jeff Chandler, No. 21, sits third in the current standings. Picton’s veteran rider Ric Jones pulled off some last-minute heroics at last year’s Fairgound’s event, coaxing a freshly-rebuilt motor to life just when the last grain of sand fell from the start clock. Jones went on to win his race in exciting fashion, putting his Honda CR500 almost backwards into Corner 1. A follow-up race is scheduled for Sunday at Trail Blazer Park at Shannonville Motorsport Park. Fans at Saturday’s George Pepper Classic event will receive $5 off admission if they attend the Sunday races at SMP. ON DECK: Saturday — The 2017 George Pepper Classic motorcycle and ATV races at Belleville Fairgrounds, sanctioned by Flat Track Canada. Gates open at 1 p.m.; qualifying and testing at 2 p.m.; racing at 7 p.m.

PET OF THE WEEK! Grayson

Grayson is a neutered, young adult male who is a bit nervous of new people but loves human contact when he gets to know you. He’ll stretch up on his back legs and reach for you to ask for a hug, and is at his happiest either cuddling on your lap or lounging on your shoulders where he can purr in your ear. He’s currently hiding under the couch at CCI’s store waiting for someone to take a chance on a nervous but loving boy.

Canadian citizenship dream comes true in Colborne BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Colborne – Marriage was the reason Charansheel Sembhi moved to Canada from India in 2004. Sally England-Bizjak came over from England with her family 49 years ago when she was a child. Shamsul Arefin and Razia Chowdhury and their son Raheel emigrated from Bangladesh in 2013 in search of a better life. The new Canadians were among 32 who officially became citizens of this country in a ceremony held Aug. 4 at the Keeler Centre. It was a “very, very emotional” occasion for England-Bizjak. “I’m absolutely delighted, I am so proud to be a new Canadian,” she said afterwards. The Oshawa resident decided to make her being Canadian official after having lived so long in the country because she turns 50 this year and it’s Canada’s 150th birthday, so she thought “what a perfect time” to take the step. Sembhi “was the odd person out” in her family who live in Peterborough. Her husband, Baljinder Singh, had become a citizen in 2003, five years after moving to Canada at the urging of his father, and their two children were born here. She wanted “to be able to vote and do other things” that Canadians do. Singh said he emigrated to Canada “for opportunities (to secure) a better life,” and he did. It was the same reason that led Arefin and Chowdhury to Canada, as well as the “safety and security” it offered, along with “no racism.” Canadians are generous and welcoming, Arefin said, and there’s something else the couple from Oshawa love about their new home – the snow. “Canada looks more beautiful with snow,” Chowdhury said.

homeland. Arefin was a physician and is employed as a nurse while he works on obtaining his licence to practise in Ontario. Major-General Simon Hetherington, the commander of the Canadian Army Doctrine and Training Centre in Kingston who served as the presiding official at the swearing-in ceremony, explained the rights and responsibilities of being a Canadian citizen. He encouraged those becoming one to look for opportunities to help out in the community because “volunteerism is an important

component” of Canadian society. “It’s through such service that you can deepen your knowledge and your love of this great country we call home,” Hetherington said. Northumberland-Peterborough South MP Kim Rudd told Canada’s newest citizens they “live in in a place that both welcomes and values new Canadians for the gift and talent” they bring and the contributions they make to “the uniqueness that makes us all Canadian.” Northumberland-Quinte West MP Lou

Rinaldi, who was born in Italy, said the occasion reminded him of the day that he officially became a Canadian citizen in the late 1960s. “It’s the best thing that ever happened to me,” he said, and he congratulated those who took the oath of citizenship for “choosing the best country in the world to live in.” Cramahe Township Mayor Marc Coombs quipped “what could be more Canadian” than to be sworn in as a Canadian in a hockey rink.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Why the urgency for Campbellford bridge? ALL SUMMER

OPEN DAILY 10AM- 5PM MAY 1ST - SEPT 30TH

AN ADVENTURE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

Dear Editor, The Campbellford bridge issue began in 2008 and now it’s revealed it will take at least another two years before a detailed design of the new bridge is completed. Then there’s the funding support that will determine when it gets built and if there are Provincial and Federal monies available. At least 12 years for a project costing a minimum of $ 16.5 million in a town of less than 3,500 population notwithstanding the extra funding that may be required to purchase other properties. When we arrived in 1990 to live in the Campbellford area, the population was approximately 3,700 residents. In 2008 the hue and cry for a new access across the river began due to complaints of traffic congestion. The protests were puzzling. The latest statistical census

numbers have shown a steady decline in Campbellford’s population from 3,647 in 1996 to a low of 3,473 residents in 2016. Out of necessity, in 2003, we moved closer to family in Kitchener but maintained ties and visits with close friends in the town. While visiting Campbellford just two years ago, the absence of any traffic congestion was noticeable. While retaining fond memories of our time in the area, the question must be asked, “Why the urgent need for an expensive bridge for a town with declining population?” On the surface, it could be argued, this sensitive issue is being motivated rigorously for strictly political reasons. Gary Megaffin Kitchener

Lawyer worked some of the biggest cases BY BRUCE FROUDE

Cobourg - Even in the toughest of cases, with the scariest of clients, lawyer Robert Nuttall would have the jury eating out of his hand, one of his admiring colleagues said. “He was a brilliant strategist and an effective advocate, but it was his demeanour that was the most effective of all,” David Bayliss wrote in one of the many sympathy cards sent to the family of 67-year-old Nuttall, who died Sunday at his farm near Cobourg after a short battle with a severe illness. “He was so sincere, so clearly believing in his client, but at the same time so civil and gracious to everyone that the jury could not help but like him and attach great credibility to everything he said.” Throughout his career, which spanned nearly 40 years, Nuttall worked both as a Crown prosecutor and a criminal defence lawyer, handling some of Canada’s most famous murder trials. Nuttall was the defence lawyer for dozens of high-profile cases, including the 2011 “webcam murder” of Qian Liu, a university student who was video-chatting with her ex-boyfriend in China when she was killed; the New Orleans man who strangled a woman he met online in 2009 and the 2003 death of Johnathon, a 12-year-old stabbed 71 times by his brother. He also defended a member of the “Toronto 18,” a group that plotted bombing attacks in Ottawa and Toronto in 2006. “He was one of most respected legal minds in the country, he carried a murder case load that was unprecedented, he typically had between three and four ongoing murder cases at any given time,” said Teddy Rekai-Nuttall, the youngest of his four children. Rekai-Nuttall remembers his father as a devoted family man and also as the person who taught him to think about the factors that could drive an individual to commit a crime. “He was able to emphasize each human journey that brought his clients to the point where they might have committed a murder or been involved in crime,” Rekai-Nuttall said. “Most of the time he wasn’t arguing whether someone was just innocent, he looked for ‘How does the law best apply to my client and how do I advocate for them in that case?’ “ Nuttall ran a legal practice on Bloor Street East, with his wife and partner, Judyth Rekai, 69. She said she will continue to practise law, but that his death has been doubly painful because she lost both her husband and business partner. Their 40th wedding anniversary would have been in October. “We shared everything for 40 years,”

Slowing traffic preceded fiery collision, say OPP Port Hope - Police are reporting that drivers were slowing down for construction on Highway 401 when a transport truck collided with two vehicles in Port Hope on Thursday night. The fiery crash on Aug. 3 killed two people and consumed three vehicles. “The traffic was slowing for construction at Burnham Street,” said OPP Const. Tanya Royall. “A tractor trailer collided with a pickup truck and a sedan, resulting in a fire with all three vehicles being ignited.” While the OPP’s on-scene investigation is complete, she said the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is working to repair the highway. “It’s a terrible tragedy but the Ministry of Transportation has to look at the overall safety of those travelling on Hwy. 401,” Royall said. Ministry spokesperson Alex Westendorp reports that one lane of eastbound traffic was restored at approximately 11:30 a.m., with repairs about to begin soon which should be complete by late afternoon/early evening. As of about 4 p.m. OPP announced all lanes were re-opened. “Approximately 45 meters of asphalt in three lanes has been damaged – the centre lane, right lane and eastbound ramp,” she said. “We hope to have the lanes open later today.” Emergency crews responded to Highway 401 eastbound just east of the County Road 28 exit in Port Hope around 10:15 p.m. on Port Hope fire crews work on a blaze that consumed a transport and two other vehicles on Hwy. 401 east of the County Thursday, Aug. 3 where two people were confirmed dead.

A visit to “Elvis Presley’s Memphis” able on the building of this resort and the entire entertainment complex. This new complex was officially opened back in March, and guests at the ceremony included Jack Soden (Elvis Presley Enterprises president), Joel Weinshanker (Graceland Holdings managing partner), and Priscilla Presley (Elvis’ former wife and mother of Lisa). The fans have been steadily coming since that grand opening, but an especially big crowd is expected on Aug. 16, 2017 – for this will mark the 40th anniversary of the death of Elvis. He’s buried on this property, along with his parents (Gladys and Vernon). For More Information: www.elvis.com/ graceland; www.memphistravel.com; www. tnvacation.com

A photo of a young Elvis and his parents is displayed in the museum. John M. Smith/Metroland

for it included several gigantic portraits of singers, such as Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Elton John, Johnny Cash, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Celine Dion, and Michael Buble who say that they were influenced and inspired by Elvis. John Lennon, for example, stated: “Before ELVIS there was NOTHING”. I was a youngster myself when Elvis first ‘hit it big’ and emerged as “the King of Rock and Roll”, and I can still recall those early days of watching him on “The Ed Sullivan Show”, where he could only be viewed from the waist up because of his swiveling hips. I can also remember going to see his film debut, “Love Me Tender”, in downtown Belleville, and the audience’s screams made it almost impossible to hear the dialogue! Elvis was actually born in Tupelo, Mississippi, but his family moved to Memphis when he was only 13. He soon became fascinated by the music scene there, and he spent a lot of time strumming a guitar or strolling around Beale Street. He eventually walked into Sun Studio, where he began his recording career; it’s, therefore, often referred to as “the birthplace of rock and roll”, and it’s still an active recording studio to this very day. In fact, while in Memphis, I was able to

visit this historic studio – and touch the microphone that Elvis first recorded at! Elvis’ Sun contract was eventually bought out by RCA, and Elvis first recorded for this label, in Nashville, in 1956. “Heartbreak Hotel” became his first #1 hit, and it was, of course, followed by many more – and a Heartbreak Hotel was subsequently built near Graceland; however, it has recently closed and is scheduled for demolition. Heartbreak Hotel has now been replaced by the 450-room Guest House at Graceland, and I was fortunate enough to stay at this exquisite facility during my recent visit to Memphis. As I emerged from my vehicle at this newly completed resort, Elvis’ music could be heard from outdoor speakers. When I arrived at my hotel room itself, Elvis was again heard singing, this time on the TV – and I soon discovered that there were several stations devoted to him, including music from his early career and his 1968 TV Comeback Special. There was also a documentary avail-

Elvis Presley is still a ‘big business’ in Memphis, Tennessee. Devoted fans and the curious alike continue to flock to Graceland, his Memphis mansion, where “the King” lived for the last 20 years of his life (19571977), and a plethora of Elvis memorabilia is still sold on site. Elvis bought his beloved Graceland in 1957 for $102,000.00 but it’s now valued at more than $100 million – and it has recently undergone some very significant changes and upgrades, for a $45 million state-of-the-art entertainment complex was just completed on this property. It’s known as “Elvis Presley’s Memphis”, and it’s now the largest and most comprehensive Elvis museum in the world. I recently checked out this incredible new complex for myself, and I found it to be very impressive. It’s the place to go to learn everything you ever wanted to know about this fascinating entertainer, for it includes tours of his mansion, exhibits of his career, displays of his custom jets, cars, and motorcycles, a venue for his movies, a stage for live performances, two restaurants, and a variety of retail shops. There are also changes to some of Graceland’s out buildings, including the addition of a hall of trophies and the restoration of his awesome racquetball court. As I toured “Elvis Presley’s Memphis”, I was particularly impressed by the many photos of him that took me through his changes: from his early youth to stardom; from rock and roll legend to movie star to soldier and dad (his only child, Lisa Marie, was born in 1968). I was also enthralled by “Presley Motors”, which featured many of his cars, including a 1955 pink Cadillac that he eventually gave to his mom, Gladys, and a 1956 white Cadillac that he purchased - and then immediately had painted purple! Yet another vehicle on display was a 1974 Pantera Sports Car that was purchased for his then girlfriend, Linda Thompson. I was told that Elvis got so upset when the vehicle wouldn’t start that he shot at it with his personal firearm (he fired a bullet into the driver-side door and the steering wheel!), and these bullet holes are still on display. Yet another highlight of this entertainment complex was its “Icons” display room,
