Lighthouse project moving ahead despite contest loss BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society did not prevail in a recent national contest, but will continue on with its fall conservation pilot project in coming weeks. “We’d like to thank each of you for taking the time to vote, support and share our cause for the #Tangerine20 contest,” said volunteer director Dave Sharp. “Unfortunately, we did not win this competition, but we are hopeful for the exciting projects that are to come.” The #Tangerine20 contest was launched to celebrate bank’s 20th anniversary and give back to communities and help organizations. Canadians across the nation nominated about 400 initiatives for the contest. The society was one of 20 top finalists for the contest and one of four finalists for Ontario. Following the announcement of the top 20, the bank asked Canadians to vote for the initiative they thought was most in-need of a financial top-up. By the close of the contest, nearly 15,000 votes were collected to select the winners, though the society wasn’t among the top five. A youth group in Saskatchewan took home the grand prize totaling $20,000. An Ontario initiative took the next best prize in the contest. The Walkabout Farm Therapeutic Riding Academy in Minden won $10,000. Three smaller cash prizes totaling $12,000 were awarded to groups in Quebec, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia. “We are now moving our focus towards large partnerships with local firms and businesses to sponsor our efforts,” said Sharp, following the announcement of the contest

winners recently. Contest winners were announced live on Tangerine’s Facebook page on Aug. 9. “With hopes to restore our lighthouse to its original beauty and stature, we ask you to rally,” said Sharp. “Share our cause with
your friends, family, neighbours and colleagues.” The society was hoping to secure some additional help through the Tangerine contest, as work is underway to start an estimated $200,000 pilot project in September. Once the pilot project concludes, the full restoration can get underway, which is estimated at more than $1 million. As for a quick update on the engineering status, Sharp reports the society is expecting to submit a request for proposal for the fall Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse conservation pilot project in the next two to three weeks. “The support that we all provide towards the preservation of this landmark never ceases to inspire and motivate us to keep moving forward,” said Sharp. The volunteer director suggests residents stay tuned for more updates on the pilot project in the weeks ahead. To learn more about the society’s restoration project, visit www.pplps.ca. “If you are a business owner or know of a business that would like to be a part of the change we are making in our community’s history, simply send us an e-mail…or phone us,” said Sharp. Those interested in lending the society a hand can e-mail dsharp@pplps.ca or call 613-475-5109. “Each dollar donated is so very important to us,” added Sharp. “Also important is that we are now also concentrating on corporate sponsorship and are asking our readership base to let us know of any firms that we should be in touch with.” The continued support through memberships and donations from the community is appreciated, said Sharp.

Officers, alongside the OPP’s Technical Traffic Collision Investigators (TTCI) remained on the scene of the crash over night and shut down the highway, from Toronto Road in Port Hope, to Burnham Street in Cobourg for several hours as they investigated. The westbound lanes of the highway were also closed due to poor visibility caused by smoke, until just before 2 a.m., Friday, Aug. 4. The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) had to complete repairs to the surface of the highway Friday, before the remaining lanes re-opened for eastbound travel and the on-ramps at Toronto Road and County Road 28 were re-opened. All lanes finally re-opened around 4 p.m. Friday. Northumberland OPP thanks the public for their patience during the road closure. “The decision to close a road is not taken lightly and we recognize the significant impact on personal and commercial traffic that is causes,” said Royall in a previous statement. “However public safety, officer safety and the safety of our partners working are the main considerations when deciding to close a road.” - With files from Northumberland News

Port Hope – Police have released the names of two men killed during a fiery multi-vehicle crash on Thursday, Aug. 3. In an update, Wednesday, Aug. 9, police reported the men killed in the collision have been positively identified as 26-yearold Newcastle resident Todd Gardiner and Michael Glazier, 35, of Guelph. “Both deceased were travelling together in a Chevy pickup truck at the time of the collision,” said Northumberland OPP Cst. Tanya Royall in the update Wednesday. “Two other drivers involved in the collision were transported to an area hospital for non-life threatening injuries.” The investigation into the collision is ongoing, say police. On Aug. 3, just after 10 p.m., police, fire and paramedics responded to the multivehicle crash on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401, just east of County Road 28. An eastbound tractor-trailer had reportedly collided with two other eastbound passenger vehicles, which resulted in a fire and consumed three vehicles. Names of the deceased were initially withheld pending next of kin notification. Metroland’s Northumberland News reported drivers were slowing down for construction on the highway, when the transport truck collided with the two vehicles.

A-maze-ing fun supports donkey sanctuary BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Cricklewood Farm will help unwanted and neglected donkeys this year with its six-acre corn maze. Since the early 2000s, Beth Siwicky and her husband Brent have designed and constructed corn mazes in various shapes, with proceeds going to help a different charity each year. This year’s maze has been designed in support of the PrimRose Donkey Sanctuary. “I first heard about the sanctuary when a customer visited the farm asking about grounder apples for the donkeys,” said Beth. “That’s my first memory of knowing about the organization.” Cricklewood Farm invites local families and tourists to take the maze challenge each year. A portion of the funds generated from the maze tours throughout the season are then donated to the charity of the year. This year’s maze design will have folks weaving through the cornfields in the shape of a donkey’s head and through letters that spell out the sanctuary’s name, with some corn stalks more than eight feet tall. A half-acre “mini maze” for the tots has been designed in the shape of horseshoes, adding to this year’s theme. The maze is a feature attraction for the farm and reportedly attracts about 10,000 visitors each year. The corn maze opened on Aug. 5. But despite the construction of the maze being a long-time tradition at Cricklewood Farm, Beth still struggles at times to find charities to partner with, saying she’s been “infrequently approached over the years.” The practice in the past was the maze would benefit a global charity one year and the following year, a local charity. In more recent years however, Beth and Brent have decided to solely focus on more local organizations in need of a helping hand. As Beth was thinking about the design for 2017, she recalled the sanctuary. “I knew of the donkey sanctuary, but I didn’t know too much about it,” she said. So, she decided to make an inquiry and ended up touring the Roseneath-based sanctuary. “It’s a lovely place and she [the founder] is very passionate about what she does,” said Beth. “We’re hoping by doing this, it will also help raise some awareness about the sanctuary and not just locally, but as people from Ottawa, Quebec and Toronto visit the farm.” Founded by Sheila Burns, the sanctuary is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abused, neglected and unwanted donkeys, providing a safe haven for the animals and others, including mules, hinnies and horses. Burns also strives to educate the public about donkeys. In a pamphlet, Burns writes she seldom cares for less than 30 donkeys, with another 53 fostered out as companions to horses and other farm animals. She started out in the early 1990s with an empty barn and with “no idea who [or what] would eventually call it home.” One of her first two donkeys was PrimRose. The animal is now in her 30s. “I met a lady with a donkey and that was the spark of this passion – and I do mean passion, it’s almost embarrassing,” wrote Burns. Burns had never even touched a donkey before, so it was quite the experience bringing her first two donkeys home, she wrote. And the donkeys just kept coming after that. Over the years and along the way, Burns and her boys added three potbelly pigs, some sheep, “a million cats and Justin Credible the dog.” She say no large animal is ever turned away. “If someone gave me a purple aardvark, it would have a home here,” Burns says in the pamphlet. More information on the charity is available at www.primrosedonkeysanctuary.com. The biggest challenge this year when constructing the maze wasn’t making stalks of corn grow in the shape of a donkey head but once again, the weather. Last year, the hot and dry weather made for a challenging season at the farm. This year, the field was at times just too wet, said Beth. “There were these areas of the maze where water collected and water was drowning the roots of the corn and washing the nitrogen away.” In some of those areas still, the corn isn’t as tall, though it is finally starting to pick up and get better, said Beth.
Beth Siwicky invites people to tour Cricklewood Farm’s corn maze in support of the PrimRose Donkey Sanctuary. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland
People interested in visiting the maze can take the challenge during the day or at night, with twilight walks in October. The maze is open until Nov. 6; visit www.cricklewood.ca for hours and admission rates. On average, the maze takes about an hour to go through and the mini maze about 20 minutes. There are escape routes should people decide to exit early. Games and puzzles are part of the fun along the way. Cricklewood Farm is located three kilometres west of Brighton on Highway 2. For more information call 613-475-4293.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dangerous brush at Boes Road underpass Dear Editor, This is a wee “heads-up” to whichever authority has jurisdiction over Boes Road, whether that is the Town of Brighton or Northumberland County. The railway underpass on Boes has always offered motorists something of a safety challenge. However, with the uncontrolled growth of shrubs and small trees on the west side of the underpass, which block the view of the southbound motorists, the situation has
gotten progressively worse. This is a plea, therefore, for the proper authority to send a work crew to the site to slash away at the offending shrubbery in order to restore the sight lines, north and south, for local motorists. Our safety depends upon it. Thank you. Alan Parsons Brighton
Smoking in apartment buildings Dear Editor, When is the government or someone going to do something about smoking in apartment buildings? The smokers seem to have more rights than the (us) non smokers! It is really bad, especially in the winter months. When everything is closed up, the smoke fumes go all through the building. And besides smoking in the buildings, it is everywhere else you go, downtown on the Main Street and in the park where there are a lot of
people on Wednesday nights (Music in the Park). I don’t think we should have to put up with this uncomfortable situation, especially when it affects everyone’s health. Doesn’t everyone think it is time to butt out in public and in apartment buildings and hopefully live longer? I hope someone important reads my letter and something gets done so we can all enjoy life like it should be. Richard McMurter Brighton

OPP’s new bike unit ready to roll BY SARAH HYATT
Northumberland – Northumberland police are looking to strengthen their presence throughout the county with the addition of a bike patrol unit. The new unit was announced Thursday, Aug. 10. “These bikes will be in use throughout the county, including in Brighton and Cramahe Township,” said Const. Steve Bates. The Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police officially rolled out the new unit Aug. 8. Bike patrol officers will focus on crime prevention and enforcement of various laws, as well as increasing police visibility in the county, including on trails, in parks and during community events. “Our newly purchased bicycles and the formation of a bicycle patrol in Northumberland County will allow our officers to police the towns and hamlets in the county effectively using a somewhat different approach,” said Const. Orlando Eitzen, who also serves as the Northumberland OPP bike patrol co-ordinator. To start, the OPP has two police bicycles. A total of seven officers

have received training specific to the safe operation of the bikes while conducting their police duties, reports Const. Bates. In the past, bicycle patrols have proven to be a “very effective enforcement tool” in policing urban environments, as well as during special events, such as parades or other community celebrations, said Const. Eitzen. “Northumberland OPP would like to acknowledge the assistance provided to us in the procurement of
these bikes by Sommerville’s Sporting Goods in Cobourg, as well as the four townships and two municipalities that make up the county we serve,” said Const. Bates in a press release. The benefit of the new patrol unit will be that officers on bicycles can cover areas that are not always readily accessible with an OPP cruiser. Police will be able cover an area faster than if they walk, all the while “being very visible in the community,” said Const. Eitzen.

Flood recovery plan now in place BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – The municipality has issued a “flood recovery plan” for residents affected by this year’s record high water levels. With a flood warning still in effect for the Lake Ontario shoreline area, the municipality’s recently released flood strategy document should provide some advice and possible solutions to issues residents and property owners are currently facing, say staff. “We’re just trying to move through this situation with as little disruption as possible,” said Rick Caddick, deputy fire chief for the Brighton and District Fire
Department. “We’re looking at everything on a case-by-case basis.” In a flood update from the fire department, it states recent reports indicate the lake has dropped about 30 centimetres. “We hope this trend will continue,” said Caddick. As of Friday, Aug. 11, the flood warning issued by the Lower Trent Conservation authority remains in effect until Friday, Aug. 25. Brighton staff will be removing flood barriers from municipal properties, “when we feel the time is appropriate,” said Caddick. “Residents are asked not to move flood barriers on municipal

property.” With this said, municipal staff is reminding the public, even though flood barriers were put in place by the municipality to assist residents in a time of crisis, property owners remain responsible for the removal of flood barriers on private properties. “...And any decision to remove them is that of the owner.” Residents physically unable to remove barriers should call the fire department. “A phone call to the fire department…will provide you with some volunteers who will assist with this task,” said Caddick. The recently released flood strategy document can be accessed by residents online at www.brighton.ca and is also available for pickup at one of the municipal offices or the fire hall during regular business hours. Residents with questions are encouraged to reach out, added Caddick. Residents may contact the fire department at 613-475-1744 or public works at 613-475-1162. For residents looking for guidance on how to deal with removal of flood barriers or who need help with disposal and cleanup, due to flood damage, the document should help some. The following are some strategies the municipality has approved to assist residents. Filled sandbags: When it comes to filled sandbags, public works staff will remove them from designated areas, with a loader and dump truck. Filled bags will be taken to the county landfill to be used as ground cover. Residents may remove sandbags from their properties, when they feel appropriate. The bags
can then be brought to the designated pickup areas, where staff can remove them for transportation to the disposal site. Again, residents unable to transport filled bags to the designated sites can contact the municipality. Staff may pick up filled sandbags at the roadside, in front of the affected property. Emptied sandbags: Empty bags can be brought to 67 Sharp Rd., where there is a dumpster bin for people to dispose of empty bags. Residents may dispose of bags at any time, the bin is always accessible. “We encourage residents to bring them in, but again if there is a circumstance where this is not possible, a municipal truck and staff could come by and pick them up at the roadside in front of the resident’s property.” Removal of debris from flood damage: Staff will arrange for pickup of debris, left in front of affected properties. “We will also make arrangements with the county disposal site for acceptance of this debris.” Residents may also choose to call public works to arrange pickup. Property damage recovery and replacement and potential future mitigation: Staff has asked federal and provincial representatives to meet with Mayor Mark Walas, senior administration and representatives from the Lower Trent Conservation authority, to tour the lakeshore area. The intent of the tour would be to view the damage, property loss and to look at future flooding and damage risks, to determine a co-ordinated approach for the long-term.
Ontario Early Years Centre moving to Colborne BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Policy changes stemming from the Ministry of Education are driving the relocation of the local Ontario Early Years Centre (OEYC). As of this month, there is no longer a permanent Brighton-based centre. Until recently, the Brighton OEYC was housed in the Brighton Health Services Centre (BHSC) with the YMCA. Recent policy changes however mean the OEYC will begin operating out of Colborne Public School, starting in September.
“The YMCA remains the lead agency for the Ontario early years programming, for Northumberland, until Dec. 31, 2017,” said Eunice Kirkpatrick, CEO for YMCA Northumberland. “Once the new OEYCFC [Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres] plan is approved, more will be known with regards to the management of the new…model.”
There are six centres located throughout Northumberland, all of which in recent years have been managed through the YMCA. As part of the province’s changes, starting in January 2018, funding responsibilities for the centres will from move from the ministry, to the consolidated municipal service manager at Northumberland County. The county manager will be responsible for the local management of the new centres. How exactly that will all work has yet to be determined. The Colborne-based centre is slated to open the first or second week in September. The opening day has yet to be confirmed. Hours of operations will remain the same, despite the change in location.
PUBLIC NOTICE Council Meeting, regarding a fill permit application submitted by Douglas LeBlanc at Part of Lots 31 and 32, Concession ‘B’, North of County Road 64, Municipality of Brighton. A fill permit application was submitted to The Municipality of Brighton for surface grading and land improvements to prepare the industrial property for future construction. Council will consider the application at the next Council Meeting scheduled for: Monday August 21, 2017 at 6:30 PM at the Council Chambers 35 Alice Street, Brighton ON Site Location
Programming will continue out of the BHSC Main Street location for the duration of August, just on the upper floor of the building. The centre’s previous space in the basement level is slated for renovations, as the municipality is trying to create more spaces for doctors. Hours for early years programming will remain unchanged throughout August. In February 2016, the province announced its plan to “update ministry-funded child and family programs” and to integrate existing programs, to create the new OEYCFCs. “So what they want to do is broaden the scope of services in Northumberland County and reach a wider age range,” said Kirkpatrick. Current centres provide a place for parents and caregivers to visit, play and learn with kids, catering to kids six years old and younger. People can also turn to the centres for answers related to parenting and for information about local programs and services. Under the new and “broader system of services and supports,” the centres will be looking to reach parents and caregivers with newborns and kids up to age 14. The Ontario early years policy framework, released by the ministry in 2013, lays out Ontario’s vision for the new centres. Part of that new criteria includes the school’s-first approach and having these hubs in schools, said Kirkpatrick. Northumberland County is said to be currently collaborating with Brighton Public School in an effort to negotiate potential options around early years programming being offered there for the remainder of 2017 and until the new model rolls out in 2018. Some programming will also continue at the Brighton YMCA facility, “with a potentially modified schedule of hours” effective September, to December 2017. If some programming can be kept in Brighton, that would be ideal, said Kirkpatrick. On the Northumberland County website it states, “These centres will give families and children access to high-quality early years programs, as well as programs specific to meet needs of each community.” Earlier this year, as part of the community engagement process for the new centres, families and caregivers were surveyed and several focus groups helped collect information about local needs around services and supports. The county reports more than 1,600 parents and caregivers with kids up to age 14 shared their thoughts through surveys. Survey responses and information will be included in a report and presented to county council. The report will include an “updated framework for local early years services.” A ‘best start committee’ comprised of the county’s early years community providers has also been meeting the last 18 months, to provide input into the county’s draft plan for the new centres, said Kirkpatrick. The draft plan will be presented to county council on Sept. 20 for approval and then later submitted to the ministry for review.
OPINION
Kim Jong-Trump and the big jump “I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed, Mr. President, but I do say not more than 10 or 20 million dead, depending on the breaks.” So said General ‘Buck’ Turgidson, urging the US president carry out a nuclear Gwynne Dyer to first strike in Stanley Kubrick’s 1963 film ‘Dr Strangelove: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.’ But, nobody in Kubrick’s movie talked like Kim Jong-un (“American bastards would be not very happy with this gift sent on the July 4 anniversary,” he crowed, celebrating North Korea’s first successful test of an ICBM). They didn’t talk like Donald Trump either (“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”) Kubrick’s film came out the year after the Cuban missile crisis, when the world went to the brink of nuclear war after the Soviet Union put nuclear missiles into Cuba to deter an American invasion. It was a terrifying time, but neither US President John F. Kennedy nor the Soviet leaders used violent language. They stayed calm, and carefully backed away from the brink. So Kubrick’s fictional leaders had to stay sane too; only his generals and civilian strategic ‘experts’ were crazy. Anything else would have been too implausible even for a wild satire like ‘Strangelove’. Whereas, now we live in different times. Trump may not understand what his own words mean, but he is threatening to attack North Korea if it makes any more threats to the United States. That’s certainly how it will be translated into Korean. Maybe the American and North Korean leaders are just two playground bullies yelling at each other, but even in their more grownup advisers it sets up the the train of thought best described by strategic theorist Thomas Schelling: “He thinks we think he’ll attack; so he thinks we shall; so he will, so we must.” This is how people can talk themselves into launching a ‘pre-emptive’ or ‘preventive’ nuclear attack. Is this where the world finds itself at the moment? ‘Fraid so. And although a nuclear war with North Korea at this point wouldn’t even muss America’s hair – the few North Korean ICBMs would probably go astray or be shot down before they reached the US – it could kill
many millions of Koreans on both sides of the border. A million or so Japanese might die as well (that would depend on the fallout), and a few tens of thousands of US soldiers in western Pacific bases (from targeted strikes). Indeed, as the scale of the potential disaster comes home to North Korean strategists, you can see them start to play with the idea of a “limited nuclear war.” North Korean planners have announced that they are “carefully examining” a plan for a missile attack on the big US base on Guam. In that way they could “signal their resolve” in a crisis by only hitting one isolated American military target. Their hope would be that such a limited attack would not unleash an all-out US nuclear counter-attack that would level North Korea. ‘Limited’ nuclear war has never been credible, because it assumes that people will remain severely rational and unemotional while under attack by nuclear weapons. Thinking about limited nuclear war, while unrealistic, is evidence that the planners are starting to get really scared about an all-out nuclear war, which is just what you want them to be. Nevertheless, we are entering a particularly dangerous phase of the process, not least because the other two major nuclear powers in the world, China and Russia, both have land borders with North Korea. And neither of them loves or trusts the United States. What “process” are we talking about here? The process of coming to an accommodation that lets North Korea keep a nuclear deterrent, while reassuring that it will never have to use those weapons. Because that’s what these North Korean missiles and nuclear warheads are about: deterring an American attack aimed at changing the regime. They couldn’t be about anything else. North Korea can never have enough missiles to attack the US or its local allies and survive: it would be national suicide. But it can have enough of them to carry out a “revenge from the grave” and impose unacceptable losses on the US if it attacks North Korea. Deterrence, as usual, is the name of the game. US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson briefly said that the US was not seeking to change the North Korean regime last week, although he was almost immediately contradicted by President Trump. In the long run, however, that is the unpalatable but acceptable way out of this crisis. In fact, there is no other way out.

Column by Stephen Petrick The family and I just got back from a threeday Toronto vacation and we learned this: it’s best to avoid the Don Valley Parkway in the early morning, mid morning, around noon, early afternoon, rush hour, early evening and late night. There might be a window between 3:15 a.m. and 3:30 when cars can get up to the speed of Marco Estrada’s changeup. Same goes for the big tourist attractions, the Ripley’s Aquarium, CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum and Toronto Zoo. It’s best to avoid these early in the morning, mid-morning, around noon, early afternoon, rush hour, early evening and late night. There might be a 15-second span, upon the opening of gates, when you can get an unobstructed view. If you’re going to spend some time in the Big Smoke in prime tourism season, consider dropping into an Argonauts football practice and ask to work with the running backs. You’ll need to learn how to spot a lane opening and dive right in. According to the latest census data, there are about 2.8 million people living in Toronto and recent tourism reports suggest that the city gets upwards of 14 million overnight visitors and another 26 million day trippers in a calendar year. A sizeable chunk of those, we learned harshly, visit the relatively new Ripley’s Aquarium underneath the CN Tower. It provides an amazing spectacle. Through glass, schools of exotic fish, sharks and sting rays stare in wonder at the savage world of homo sapiens as they elbow away predators in their overpopulated habitat, while their young cling onto their hair. The pandas at the zoo, perhaps in an effort to save their species, choose to live a less stressful life. They sleep through the noise that comes from the herd of humans who gather in clusters outside their bamboo walls. One day a future species will observe skeletons of 21st century man and woman – with arms extended in front of their face in selfie pose – next to the stegosaurus sculpture at the
ROM. The writing on the wall will explain that it wasn’t a meteorite that killed us monkeys. We all starved to death because cafeteria prices got too high. Kidding aside, I love Toronto am grateful to live so close to a world-class city. And now that my wife Amy and I have two kids beyond baby age we decided to invest in some memories for them. We bought a CityPASS that, while not cheap, provided us some savings for visiting four attractions in the span of three days – the aquarium, CN Tower, zoo and ROM. (Sorry Casa Loma, we were too burned out to squeeze you in). It saved us some time, too. With the passes, we were able to pay about $3 extra per head for a “timed ticket” for the CN Tower, which allowed us to head back towards the turnstiles in about an hour. Given that it was a clear August day, general admission ticket holders that day were looking at a three-hour wait to get into the big elevator. Our two-year-old, Benji, was completely oblivious to how high we were. Our five-yearold Nate loved the view and thought the cars on the ground looked like toys. They were also both oblivious to the near-heart attacks their height-fearing parents were having. On the way down, the staffer in the elevator said we’ll see the gift shop on the way out – but that’s just a co-incidence, “not planned,” she said, tongue-in-cheek. Funny, too is how the gift shop, with super fun toys for kids, was on the way out of every place we visited. But, spending a few bucks there is sometimes a necessary evil for keeping kids un-cranky through the endless bumper-to-bumper traffic that takes you out of town. Last Friday afternoon, it was a two-hour drive from downtown Toronto to Durham region. But, eventually we made it out, leaving the craziness and any trace of disposable income, behind. We love Toronto and will surely visit again soon. But next time it will more likely be in November.

Playing around at Presqu’ile
Exhibit cuts to the core of apple history BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Colborne – In Cramahe Township “you’re never very far from an apple tree,” and what better way to celebrate its place in local history than to stage an exhibit at the Colborne Art Gallery. “From the time our early settlers got beyond subsistence farming, apples have been the big cash crop in this part of Ontario,” says Heritage Cramahe member Barrie Wood. “Apples from here became the preferred varieties for consumers in England, and a huge export business developed.” Wood stated, in a press release, that people travelling along county roads and byways will find themselves passing by orchards filled with apple trees of all sizes. “It really was a multi-pronged industry: nurserymen, growers, pickers, coopers, packers, wagoneers, storage providers, railways, transatlantic shippers,
speculators, and the dealers to put it all together,” he says. “If the product had been substandard when it reached England, it all would have fizzled, but it was so well done, that the market expanded instead.” The exhibit in the art gallery’s Heritage Room will officially open with a small reception at 7 p.m. on Aug. 24 and continue until Oct. 15. “We’re calling the show APPLES! Cutting to the Core, and you’re sure to learn something surprising,” Wood promises. “We timed this show to coincide with the local apple harvest, so visitors can go straight from the Heritage Room to a local apple orchard and choose their favourite varieties.” The gallery at 51 King St. E. is open Thursday to Sunday, from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free. “We have lots of artifacts this time – but please don’t climb the ladder,” Wood adds.

Summertime fun found at Memorial Park Havelock family needs help to keep child at home
BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Rock and roll, country, folk and classics from the 50s through to the 80s, this year’s Concerts in the Park series has it all, says Sherry Burkitt. On Wednesday, Aug. 2, Brighton’s own R&R, featuring Ray Herbert and Ralph de Jonge livened up the streets downtown, with rock and roll and folk numbers and hits that spanned the decades. It’s estimated some 200 residents and tourists filled Memorial Park for R&R’s two-hour performance. “We had an overwhelming turnout and response from bands that wanted a spot this year and to play in Brighton,” said Burkitt, chairwoman for Brighton’s community events committee. “So we’ve tried to allow for a good mix and to shuffle it up this year.” Burkitt added this year’s lineup features both local artists and musicians from out of town, with some folks coming from as far as places like Peterborough even, just to perform in Brighton. The committee organizes the Memorial Park concert series. Musicians perform live downtown every Wednesday throughout the summer. “Every year we do get a good number of bands trying to get a space,” said Burkitt. Though this year, it would appear Brighton’s Memorial Park is growing in popularity as a performance spot for musicians. “We just only have so many spaces and so many Wednesdays and with the two hours, we’re limited,” said Burkitt. For those who didn’t make the lineup this year, there’s next year, noted the chairwoman. “We are trying to keep it fresh and to be fair to everyone,” said Burkitt. Showcasing local talent and also bringing people into town is important, certainly for Brighton’s businesses, said Burkitt. For residents, the musical series offers people the chance to get out mid-week and enjoy a summer evening at the park and maybe an old classic will even bring about some forgotten or fond memories. For others, including a few at last Wednesday’s event, they spend the evening dancing in the park. The musical series kicked off on Canada Day and wraps up on the last Wednesday in August. Upcoming shows will include: Aug. 23, Kinfolk will per-

form country, folk and soft rock tunes and closing the concert series will be Cruisin’ with rock and roll from the 50s, 60s and 70s, on Aug. 30. Performances every Wednesday run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Previously, Irish music, bluegrass, R&B, top 40s dance tunes and dance rock has been the focus. The Brighton All Star Concert Band was also part of this year’s lineup. “That’s one of the biggest things we look at, is getting a good mix,” said Burkitt, who noted the committee tries hard to accommodate residents’ different tastes in genres of music. With that said, the committee meets again in September and Burkitt welcomes residents’ feedback, as to how they may like to see things change for next year. “If there’s something that people want to hear, let us know, we don’t know if we don’t get the feedback,” said Burkitt. The concert series also supports the Brighton Fare Share Food Bank with a 50/50 draw each week. The community events committee is always looking for volunteers, even if someone wants to just help out with a specific event, whether Canada Day or the Santa Claus parade.
Havelock — Five-year-old Parker Fulford has been living on borrowed time since he was born 17 weeks early. Diagnosed with the most severe form of cerebral palsy, the little boy who’s deaf and legally blind suffered brain bleeds and strokes during the 168 days he spent in the neonatal intensive care unit. “They told us from the beginning that he’d never come home ... because he was just too sick,” his mother Jennifer said. Parker proved them wrong but then the doctors warned Jennifer and her husband Mike that “he would never make it to his first birthday.” Parker did and continues to defy the odds. “He’s come a long way since that very beginning, every day has been such a blessing,” Jennifer said. “He’s definitely a fighter.” Life, however, hasn’t been easy for Parker and his parents, whose other son, Ayden, 7, a child they adopted, also has special needs. He has fetal alcohol syndrome. The grim truth is Parker could die at any time, by choking on mucus or vomit. Getting sick “could be a death sentence,” Jennifer said. He’s had pneumonia more than a dozen times this year and had to be taken to Campbellford Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment. A few times his situation was so serious that he had to be airlifted to SickKids in Toronto. Despite his condition “he’s a pretty happy child” who loves to be cuddled, his mother said. But Parker, who “has absolutely no control over his body,” will need more

than cuddles to continue living at home. Jennifer has developed shoulder problems from years of lifting him in and out of his wheelchair, and the wheelchair in and out of the van, so a ceiling track system will need to be installed to move him around the home in a sling. Before that can be done, however, the asbestos insulation above the ceiling has to be removed. The family also needs a new van that can be outfitted with a lift for a wheelchair, and a ramp put in place at the entrance in the rear. All this will cost tens of thousands of dollars, money the Fulfords don’t have. They’re barely getting by on Mike’s wages as a seasonal worker and funding the province provides, supplemented by grants from various organizations for particular needs. “There’s a huge gap,” said Jennifer, who estimated it costs them $15,000 more a year to support their two children than it would a family whose children haven’t special needs.

a “last resort,” Jennifer said. “We don’t want to do it.” “Nobody can love him like (his) own family,” Mike said. It’s what’s keeping him alive, Jennifer said. That and prayers. The constant stress finally got to her two months ago. Jennifer, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and takes antidepressant medication, “had an epic meltdown” and began “bawling like a baby.” She wrote about the family’s plight on her Facebook page. Karen Irvine, a Peterborough videographer, read what Jennifer had posted and immediately offered to help. She set up a GoFundMe account with a target of $50,000 and posted a 15-minute video she made with the Fulfords explaining why the family desperately needs money for renovations.

Walt’s Sugar Shack sweetening relations with military families
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
BY MAKALA CHAPMAN
Consecon - Things are getting a little sweeter for military families in the area thanks to one local business. The “Walt’s Sugar Shack Shindig” in support of Trenton’s Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) saw more than 100 people come out to the Consecon business for a day of fun over the weekend. Families, both military and civilian, got the chance to enjoy treats like deep fried maple cookies, fresh sausages on buns, live music, a petting zoo and other activities. Funds raised from the event went towards supporting the various programs and expansion projects at the MFRC, said the organization’s Executive Director Tamara Kleinschmidt. Some of the supports that the MFRC’s Trenton and Belleville location offer include daycare, mental health services, youth programming and transitioning support. Most recently, the MFRC opened a branch in Belleville and are working on opening a satellite location in Frankford by the middle of September. While earlier in the day rain had threatened to put a damper on the event, the sun came out and things couldn’t have run any smoother, said Kleinschmidt. She further beamed that she was more than thankful for all the volunteers and to Walt’s Sugar Shack for hosting the event. “It’s just been a blast and we’re having a lot of fun,” she said. “It also shows military families that there are amazing people in our community that are supporting them.” Due to the fact that military families often move from place to place, Kleinschmidt noted that it was especially important to “create that sense of home wherever you are.” Helping make sure things were running smoothly was Jane Breakell of Walt’s Sugar Shack. Reflecting on the day, she said couldn’t have been happier to see all the families enjoying themselves. “I think it’s a great way for the community to get to know one another,” she said. She added that choosing to support the MFRC was a no-brainer since she and owner Brian Walt both have families in the military. “We just felt this was a good fit for what we wanted to do,” said Breakell. “It’s just one big community. With everything our military does for us, this is what we need to do for them.” Some of the special guests in attendance included 8 Wing’s very own Deputy Wing Commander, Lieutenant-Colonel (Lt. Col.) André Delhommeau and his family.
Trent Hills no fan of burying nuclear waste near Great Lakes
He noted that he couldn’t imagine the community without the MFRC and was glad they were available for military families to rely on. “(The MFRC) is very important, especially when the operational tempo is high,” he said. “It’s important that we have that organization that can help support our members so that they know that their families are being taken care of when they’re doing the business that they need to be doing.” As for the Shindig itself, Delhommeau said he and his family were enjoying all the activities available. He even took the opportunity to participate in the flower arranging competition to help raise additional funds for the MFRC. While not much of a green thumb, Delhommeau said he opted to take the advice of his young daughter, Grace Delhommeau, and made sure to add lots of pink to his bouquet.

intermediate-level waste, which is currently stored [in canisters] on an interim basis above ground at the Bruce site.” The plan is to dig a hole 680 metres deep in layers of rock scientists say haven’t moved in more than 50 millions years. The province has given its approval and it’s now up to the federal government, which has asked for more information before it will decide. Councillor Rosemary KelleherMacLennan, chosen president of the Ontario Municipal Water Association earlier this year and a lifelong advocate for safe drinking water, said the proposal “doesn’t make sense.” “We’re looking at the world’s largest freshwater source,” and if the project goes through, “it will be one of the worst decisions the province ever made,” she said. People living near the proposed site are “scared to death.” Macmillan suggested writing a letter in reply “asking if they’re out of their minds. Some risks are not worth taking ... This is one that if something goes wrong, there would be no overcoming it, the water would be gone.” OPG describes low-level waste as materials that are “minimally radioactive materials such as mop heads, rags, paper towels, floor sweepings and protective clothing used in the nuclear stations during routine operation and maintenance.” Intermediate level waste “consists mostly of used reactor components, as well as the resins and filters used to keep reactor water systems clean.”

Trent Hills – Council has given the thumbs down to an Ontario Power Generation (OPG) proposal to bury more than 40 years’ worth of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste close to the Great Lakes. Kincardine, where the deep geologic repository (DGR) is to be built little more than a kilometre from Lake Huron, and the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities, have endorsed the project and want municipal councils across Ontario to give their support as well. Trent Hills won’t be one of them. Mayor Hector Macmillan said he didn’t like the idea of putting radioactive material anywhere close to what is the world’s largest freshwater system. “I don’t care how safe they think it is,” he said, when the letter from the mayor of Kincardine and the mayor of Clarington who’s chair of the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities came up for discussion Aug. 3. It doesn’t feel good, he said. The two mayors in their correspondence pointed out the DGR proposal “has been the subject of thorough study, including extensive public consultation, hearings and scrutiny by a Joint Review Panel under the auspices of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA).” The panel’s report in 2015 “leaves no doubt that the DGR is a safe and prudent way to permanently dispose of the low- and

Beatles, sundaes and Carnaby Street: Swinging 60s revived in Trenton BY SARAH HYATT
Trenton – A trip downtown this week led some Trentonians back in time to the ‘Swinging 60s.’ From the Beatles to the fashion and Carnaby Street to food, the Trent Port Historical Society invited residents this week to reminisce about all things from the 1960s, including local history. “Our main goal is to get people interested in the history of their community,” said Deborah Chouinard, president of the society. “That’s really our purpose.” Starting on Monday, Aug. 14, the society began celebrating the decade with a week-long ‘Swinging 60s’ event. Sixties’ themed foods, costumes and treats, like ice cream sundaes; floats, milkshakes and tomato soup cake, also known as the “husband cake” back in the day, have been part of the fun recently at the Trenton Town Hall - 1861. White boards also line the cabinets at the heritage and cultural centre for the week, offering people the chance to sign their names and share memories or stories from the 60s. There was a lot going on in Trenton during the 60s recalls Connie Beal, a volunteer for the society. Beal grew up in Trenton but didn’t really start learning about the community’s history until she started volunteering with the society, she said. The Zellers store first opened its doors in the 1960s and there were two movie theatres until 1963. The Century Theatre was demolished that year, but from 1939 until that time, Trentonians did have two theatres, said Beal. Prince Charles Public School opened in 1960 and re-
mains the oldest school that’s still standing in the same place in town. Beal recalls it was quite the controversy when it first opened. It had this modern-type glass across the front of the school, looking a little more like theatre, some people said and all these colours, “when you looked at it, it was almost like looking through a kaleidoscope.” There were a lot of letters to the editor after, said Beal. The post office closed during the 60s and all that remains now is the clock tower downtown. The first fire hall, situated behind where the King Street town hall building is now, was also torn down. The Trenton Drama Club won the first place prize in the Eastern Ontario Drama Festival and the Trenton Citizens Band got their first uniforms. Centennial Park opened on June 14, 1967. “It was a huge event and parade for the opening of the park,” said Beal. Thousands of students, kids and residents rallied and marched through the downtown to celebrate the opening alongside floats and waving flags, she said. The massive crowd made their way to the park for the opening festivities, which reportedly included parachutists. As part of the event, Beal’s been sharing stories like these and pictures from the 60s via Facebook too (search the Trenton Town Hall - 1861 on Facebook). Of course, there were candy stripers, the Beatles and the rusted sub-machine gun believed to belong to the infamous Boyd Gang that allegedly robbed a Cobourg bank. The gun was discovered some 20-feet from shore near
Frankford. The gang was said to be seen in Trenton shortly after the robbery and the getaway car reportedly found abandoned four miles north of Frankford on Sullivan’s Hill. In March 1965, Ketcheson’s Dundas Street East store, which was said to house everything from guns, ammunition, candy and “the most delicious hand-dipped ice cream ever,” was destroyed by a fire. “The basic idea is to make people aware of the 60s and what Trenton looked like then,” said Laura Rickards, event planner and manager for the Heritage Café. Volunteers at the old town hall this week have dressed to resemble the different elements of the 60s. The event also serves as a fundraiser for the society. “In the summer, we like to do something fun and funky,” said Rickards. Last August, the society took a look back at the 50s. As a non-profit, events such as these help support the society, said Chouinard. The 60s-themed event is on until Friday, Aug. 14. Those interested in learning more about local history or supporting the society can stop by for lunch or treats. Costumed servers are part of the fun and a “hootenanny” is planned for Friday. Visitors may come in period costumes, if they want. “We’re very grateful to the city for letting us use this space,” said Chouinard. The café is open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the old hall located at 55 King St. E. Call 613-394-1333 for more info.

More Home Help workers needed in Trent Hills from sitting down with them because I don’t leave without learning something,” she said. “They’re not just clients to me anymore,” Drake said. “I really learn to love and care for a lot of these people. They enrich my life and I hope I do the same for them.” “You make a lot of friends along the way.” Drake became a home helper for Perley Terry after his wife died more than two years ago. At first, she couldn’t visit without his “breaking down” over his loss. “He was giving up.” But through Home Help he became active again and “he’s a social butterfly now,” Drake said. “He didn’t have to sit at home by himself, there were people out there willing to help.” “She really helped me out,” said Terry who gave the program thumbs up, saying “it’s really good.” Vandine said “the biggest benefit” of the program is that workers are pre-screened, “so there is that comfort level for clients” knowing they have gone through a police check, “and there are no outstanding issues.” The workers also go through orientation “on what roles they can fulfill,” For family members of clients who employ Home Help, “it’s just that added security knowing there is an extra person coming into check on mum or dad.” To learn more about becoming a Home Help worker visit www.commcare.ca/homehelp or call one of the seven Community Care offices in Northumberland. There are three in Trent Hills: Campbellford, 705-653-1411, Hastings, 705-6963891, and Warkworth, 705-875-7654.

Trent Hills – Home Help workers could use more helpers to handle all the work. More are needed across Northumberland County but especially so in Trent Hills. Community Care Northumberland currently has about 20 workers in the municipality, which isn’t nearly enough, and “demand for this program is definitely increasing,” said regional community relations coordinator Alicia Vandine. The program enables clients who aren’t able to do some household tasks on their own to say in their homes longer, she said. Duties could include light housekeeping, laundry and running errands. Currently about 100 seniors and adults with disabilities make use of the program across Northumberland; there’s a waiting list of at least 20 people in Trent Hills. Workers, who are paid $14 an hour directly by the clients, can choose how many they want to work with, “it all depends on their comfort level and their time,” Vandine said. Patti Drake helps four seniors regularly but there are times she sees others as well who require “special care” if they have become temporarily incapacitated. “I’ll go in and help them until they’re back on their feet,” she said. She gets groceries, cleans the house, and does the laundry among her tasks but “sometimes it’s a matter of (providing) company. They just want someone there to talk to (and) have a cup of tea. Whatever they want me to do within my means I’ll do for them.” Home Help worker Patti Drake said Perley Terry went from Drake works two to four hours a week. being a client to being a friend. “You make up your own schedule really,” she said. It’s not the money a Home Help worker earns that makes John Campbell/Metroland the job so attractive, it’s what you learn from clients, she said. “They’ve been around for a long time and I get such a thrill

Brighton skate park needs a facelift BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford – The skate park at King Edward Park in Brighton desperately needs a facelift. And the skate park in Campbellford would be a good model to emulate. It’s “way better” than Brighton’s, said Zac Boomhouwer, a 15-year-old skateboarder from Codrington who took part in a competition held at the Kennedy Park facility Aug. 12. “If we had one of these in Brighton I don’t think I’d be here right now, I’d probably be in Brighton,” said the Grade 11 East Northumberland Secondary School student. In addition to competing, he was there with his mother, Tania Light, to raise money to refurbish the Brighton facility. It’s a “pretty dismal” skate park, Light said. “Right now all they have is some rails and some ramps that are ... in bad shape,” she said. “They could be very dangerous.” It’s “really lacking,” Boomhouwer said. “It’s fun” when you’re learning to skateboard but once “you get good enough (that) you can do everything in the park, then it’s just boring.” He would like to see it expanded and equipped with more rails and ramps. It “would be nice” to have a skate park like the one in Campbellford and have it “well-maintained,” Light said. “Hopefully we can get it looking as cool as this,” she added. “That’s what we’re hoping for. There are lots of kids who use it.” Light said a team of people are pooling money together for the project, with the hope that the Municipality of Brighton will get involved at some point. A Show ‘N’ Shine held at the Codrington Community Centre in June raised money for new equipment. Light’s son also set up a booth at the Campbellford skate park to retail items that he and others have made from recycled skateboards, which he sells through a company that he started with his mother, Avec Skaters Dream. The contest was organized by Coy Calver of Coy’s School

of Skate in Peterborough, who also owns a small clothing brand called 66 Thieves. “We love to come out and put on contests for locals at all different parks,” he said. He held one in Campbellford a couple of years ago and was asked to put on another. The competition, which drew about two dozen entrants, was divided into two age groups – 16 and under, 17 and above – and two events, best trick and one-minute timed runs, scored by a pair of judges.

Brighton luminary, Marjorie Morgan BY VIC SCHUKOV
Marjorie Morgan was born in Cramahe Township on what is now the Goodrich Conservation area where her parents, Frank and Eva Goodrich, owned 600 acres: “Dad was a farmer and a woodsman,” said Morgan, “logging east of our house and along Cold Creek. I remember him riding in his Model A Ford hauling milk cans filled with trout fingerlings to stock our creek. We used our food grinder to prepare liver to feed them every morning. Their ancestors are still in that creek.” Morgan left home at 16, to study at a Peterborough teachers’ college - then, called “Normal School.” “At the end of my first year,” said Morgan, “school inspector A.A. Martin from Brighton came in on a Friday to speak to me. He said that I would not have to ENSS student Zac Boomhouwer loves skate- write exams because I had boarding so much he started his own busi- good marks, and asked me if I would come and teach at ness.

I asked 2017-2018 2017-2018 him where would I live, and PRICES! PRICES! he said, ‘With a lady across the road who always boards the local teachers.’” On her first day, with 30 children, she opened the register, and took roll call: ‘I said let us say The Lord’s Prayer, and I had a moment. I forgot it. (Laughing) The kids were so polite and whispered that the words were in the opening pages of the register.” A year later, her dad told her that they were looking for a teacher in Codrington.

ried Harold Morgan. The newlyweds moved to the nearby Bonnie Hill farm famous for its pure bred Holstein cattle. After another three years teaching in Smithfield, Marjorie settled into raising three children, and a life-long involvement with both the Masons and the United Church. Her achievements are noteworthy: “Harold husband was a Mason in the United Lodge 29 in Brighton, so I got busy with the Masons, Order of the Eastern Star, and the United Church. I worked with women’s groups raising funds for the United Church. There were several women’s groups in the United Church including the Ladies Aid and Women’s Missionary Society (WMS), which had 20 church charges each with three churches so I persuaded the two groups to amalgamate. In 1972, we came together and became the United Church Women (UCW.) After I spoke before a large group at our first big meeting, a lady was led up to me a touched my arm and said, “Your Mom and Dad

would have been proud of you today.” Morgan became president of the Cobourg Presbytery. Frank Goodrich had a particular passion: “Dad wanted to build houses in Brighton. In 1946, my parents moved into his first one across from the new public school. He built six houses in Brighton.” He also became Reeve (Mayor) of Brighton. In 1959, he was asked to be part of the welcoming committee during Queen Elizabeth II’s visit: “Mom died shortly before the Queens’ visit and I was asked by council to accompany my Dad and greet the Queen at the Trenton air force base, along with other Reeves.” When her father died in 1969, Morgan was asked to sell the Goodrich land to Lower Trent Conservation. She agreed on the condition that it be named after her dad. “I am pleased with the way they run it. My dad would have been very happy.” In retirement, as the Senior Past Provincial Officer of Eastern Star of Ontario, Morgan continues to public speak: “It gives me pleasure to be able to address an audience, and make them laugh and cry and share the values I believe in.” (Remarkable woman.)

Cramahe recovering from financial turmoil BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Cramahe Township – After turmoil over its finances in recent years, the municipality is in good shape. The proof can be found in the audited financial statements for 2016. Joanna Parks, a chartered accountant with Collins Barrow, walked through the numbers in a presentation to council Aug. 8. They showed the municipality finished the year with a surplus of $812,893 (including capital assets) on revenues of $8,158,085 and expenditures of $7,345,192. Property taxes accounted for 64.4 per cent of revenues ($5,256,664), with the next two large sources being user charges (19.5 per cent, $1,587,250) and provincial funding (11.9 per cent, $968,753). The top five expenditures for services were in transportation (26.7 per cent, $1,958,150), protection (22.9 per cent, $1,679,877), general government (15.9 per cent, $1,169,144), environment (15.5 per cent, $1,139,747) and recreation and culture (15.2 per cent, $1,119,145). The township paid out $2,285,319 in salaries and benefits last year (31.1 per cent of the overall amount) and another $1,522,962 for contracted services (20.7 per cent). Materials cost $2,127,835 (29 per cent). Parks provided a comparative analysis with seven other similar municipalities, based on 2015 public data. Cramahe ranked third highest in taxation and user charges at $1,280 in per capita costs, below only Havelock-Belmont-Methuen ($1,688) and Trent Lakes ($1,647), but above other municipalities such as Asphodel-Norwood Township ($1,230) and AlnwickHaldimand Township ($843). Parks cautioned “there are no two municipalities that are going
to be the same ... that’s why it’s so dangerous to compare.” The numbers she provided in a series of slides were meant to answer the question: Are we doing a reasonable job compared to other municipalities? “There’s not one thing that’s going (to give you the complete answer). You have to take it all in context and all together.” The “snapshot” she gave for one year “doesn’t tell the whole story, that’s for sure,” Parks said. Deputy Mayor Sandra Arthur told council she had met with Parks prior to the meeting to discuss “some issues (she) had concerns with,” and she said the accountant was unable to answer all the questions she had raised. She didn’t go into detail but said “to address some of those concerns additional funds would be required.” Arthur requested approval of the audited financial statements be deferred until September to give her time to follow up with Parks and chief administrative officer Craig Brooks “to go over” concerns that she had yet to communicate to staff. “I don’t see anything that would impact the numbers on the financial statement,” Parks said, and council approved it, with Mayor Marc Coombs and
councillors Don Clark and Ed Van Egmond voting in favour, and Arthur and Councillor Tim Gilligan against. Arthur declined to offer specifics afterwards about her concerns but said what she was looking for “would take a little more detail” than the audit provided and would cost money “to go back and check.” Coombs said the audit showed the township seems to be “doing very well” and gave it “a clean bill of health.”
The Municipality of Brighton is chipping in to help Community Care Northumberland (CCN) with its Meals on Wheels program. On Thursday, Aug. 10, Mayor Mark Walas, on behalf of the municipality, presented the not-for-profit organization with a $5,000 cheque. Through the municipality’s grants-in-aid program, the $5,000 will help with operational costs for the Meals on Wheels initiative.

Brightonians asked to help people at end-of-life with fundraiser BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – A local resident is calling on the community to help ensure those at end-of-life have options for care. For the third year in a row, Ruth Kerr will host a giant fundraising yard sale Saturday, Aug. 26, at the Brighton and District Curling Club. Proceeds will go to help the Bridge Hospice in Warkworth. “Over the last two yard sales, people have been incredibly generous,” said Ruth. “And I think that’s because it’s the hospice we’re supporting.” The care and services provided to residents of the hospice and their families is offered free of charge. “We do get a fair number of residents from the Brighton, Cramahe and Quinte West areas at the hospice,” said Craig Kerr, secretary for the hospice board of directors. The Warkworth-based hospice is essentially the only local residential hospice currently, serving the entirety of Northumberland County and the region. “Pretty frequently we do get referrals from Trenton Memorial Hospital,” said Craig, as Quinte West is still working on its own hospice. Because the hospice inevitably touches many families, the Kerrs believe this has driven a strong response of support for the fundraiser the last two years. They’re hopeful that will continue this year. “We don’t charge families anything, it’s totally free, they’re going through enough and that’s kind of the idea of the hospice,” said Craig. “Their whole time at the hospice is meant to be spent with family and loved ones, they’re not

supposed to focus on the medical care and other aspects.” The Bridge Hospice exists so that families and loved ones can simply “just be there for and with the person that’s dying,” explain the Kerrs. To date, the hospice remains heavily reliant on fundraising, donations and volunteer efforts to care for people at end-of-life and their families. Proceeds from the yard sale will help with op-
erating costs, including costs for lighting, heat, water and other various needs. While the hospice did finally secure government funding as of last year, it’s specifically restricted for provisional healthcare, for the personal support workers and nurses – it all goes towards those healthcare costs, which the hospice still has to top-up, explained Craig. As the hospice has grown, it now also has two permanent staff members, one of whom over-

sees clinical care and operations and another who takes care of administrative duties. Government funding does help with about 60 per cent of the costs for the hospice, “but the other 40 per cent, we’re left to fundraise for and rely on donations for,” said Craig. Costs for things like food and family services also increase with occupancy rates. Those who want to help support the hospice and wish to donate items for the yard sale may contact Ruth at 613-475-3018 or e-mail craigkerr97@msn.com. Residents may also call if they need items picked up. The yard sale starts at 8 a.m. and runs until around 2 p.m. The Chinese auction is returning this year as part of the fundraiser. “It’s something fun and something different,” said Ruth. Entrance for the event will be at the west door only. “The curling club has been very supportive of our efforts going forward the last three years,” said Craig. “They do many things to help out the community and this is just one of them. They like to give back to the community, wherever possible – it’s not just about curling.” And for that, the Kerrs extend a huge thank you. Ruth, who’s spent years working with Red Cross, providing in-home palliative care, as well as volunteered for the hospice, understands the impact the care provided through the hospice can have for people and families at end-of-life. That’s why she continues to host the yard sale fundraiser; with the hopes it will help a family when they most need it.

Food trucks to head to Warkworth for new take on Long Lunch event BY SUE DICKENS
Warkworth – A variety of food trucks will roll into Warkworth this weekend for the annual Long Lunch event. This year marks the 14th anniversary of the event and organizers are going ahead with a new menu and venue. “This will be a food truck event. I thought we’d change it up from the old format of a caterer,” said the Warkworth Business Association Long Lunch event chairperson Perry Melzack. Six food trucks from Toronto will park along Main Street – which will be blocked off to vehicular traffic – on Sun. Aug 20 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. “The truck vendors are all highly rated and all different . . . All these guys are insanely quick,” said Melzack, who hopes that as many as 1,500 to 2,000 people will attend. “This is key. I want to bring a different food experience to Trent Hills and don’t want to be competing with the Incredible Edibles Festival.” Also new this year is a craft brewery beer garden featuring brews from Wild Card Brewing Company in Trenton. The vintage trailer show that captures the imagination and wanderlust of many will return. Cost of admission to the street is $2 (free for kids under 12-years-old) and guests purchase their food from the truck vendors. Long Lunch Rhythm Band will entertain at the town hall building. “All monies go towards ongoing revitalization of the village,” said Melzack. “The Long Lunch has always been a community celebration of the efforts put into the revitalization of Main Street. It has since evolved. It has become an event. One of my goals in doing this is to switch it up, to re-engage the community,” he concluded. For more information about the food trucks and the event go to: https://warkworth. ca/events/warkworth-long-lunch/ .
The food trucks: Bestia: Toronto’s first truck with an on-board, wood-burning oven with its all-black roaming Italian kitchen, is a beast when it comes to serving personal-sized Naples-style pizzas along with rustic roasted meat sandwiches, salads and sweet specialties. Great Canadian Food Truck: a Markham-based truck specializing in homestyle Canadian comfort foods such as peameal beacon grilled cheese sandwiches, poutine, Atlantic cod tacos and crispy mashed potato and Mooseballs – cheese balls smothered in gravy. Gourmet Gringos: a food truck which features Mexican favourites such as burritos, tacos and more. Crispy Craves: which specializes in fish and chips as well as fish tacos, burgers, poutine, and more. Tdots Naansense: an Indian fusion truck with dishes like slow-cooked butter chicken, chili lime crab cakes and fried butter chicken mac and cheese. Holy Grill: serving up Mediterranean comfort food.

B-Sens unveil new uniforms, inaugural season patch Belleville - The Belleville Senators unveiled the uniforms they will wear during their inaugural season in the American Hockey League during a public ceremony at the Quinte Mall on Saturday. The team welcomed hundreds of enthusiastic fans from throughout the Bay of Quinte area for the event. Players, coaches and management joined the hockey fans as the team unveiled both a predominantly white and a predominantly black uniform. Each of these versions features a classic, heritage style “B” positioned prominently in the middle of the jersey. Both jerseys also don a commemorative inaugural season patch on their shoulders. This inaugural season logo, unveiled today, pays tribute to the City of Belleville where the team will play its home games and will only be used on the uniform for the 2017-18 season. The home jersey is predominately white, with a singular black and red stripes across the chest. The “B” logo is in black, framed in white and red trim, and centred on these stripes. The sweater also has black and red stripes on the middle of the arms, within the collar and along the base trim. The white sweater number design will utilize a heritage style font that is predominantly black with white and red trim. The sweater is complemented by black and red gloves as well as black pants with red and white stripes down each side. The home uniform will pair with a white helmet which includes the team’s logo, the inaugural season patch and the player’s number on the front and back. The away jerseys are predominately black, with white and red stripes across the chest and arms, and around the collar. The “B” logo remains identical to the home jerseys with players employing

It’s just being wise to check hearing, teeth, eyes.
The jerseys were worn for the first time by players representing Belleville Minor Hockey (Maguire Shortt, a player with the Jr. Bulls bantam team) and the Quinte Red Devils (Bailey Matthews, with the major midget team). Fans were also treated to a panel discussion with members of organisation answering questions from the crowd. Ottawa Senators mascot Spartacat took part in the festivities and there was an autograph session with two players from the team. Fans were also able to purchase official team merchandise and season tickets for the first time outside of Yardmen Arena. “We are incredibly proud to officially introduce the uniforms for our inaugural season,” said Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating Officer of the Belleville Senators. “They show how proud we are to be here in the City of Belleville while remaining inspired by the classic style of our brand and our connection to the Ottawa Senators. We cannot wait to see our players and fans wearing these uniforms for the first time! “All authentic and replica jerseys will be made by CCM Hockey, the official jersey supplier of the American Hockey League. They were designed and created as a collaborative effort by the Belleville Senators’ staff along with Mike Wallace, Edtmun Jasvins and John Forget of the Ottawa Senators.” Fans can pre-order their official Belleville Senators jersey by visiting the team’s website at www.BellevilleSens.com or their merchandise store in the Quinte Sport and Wellness Centre beginning Monday. Each pre-order requires a $50 deposit. A video of the uniform introduction is also available on the team’s website and through its social media channels.
Campbellford — The Campbellford Rebels will hold their main camp next week in Trenton and with fewer than 10 players signed for the upcoming season there are still holes to fill in the lineup. “It's an open camp,” coach Brent Tupling said. The camp will run from noon to 1:30 p.m and from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Aug. 19 and 20, and the cost to participate is $75. “We're actually not looking too bad, a lot of it's depending on our veterans coming back,” Tupling said. “We've got a bunch that are off to Junior A camps right now.”
He's hoping next week's camp will produce “some good prospects” as well as see the return of “some good veterans ... There's a lot of guys up in the air. Hopefully it will solidify the team.” “We've got a few good spots to fill,” including two on defence, four up front, and one in net, Tupling said. The coaching staff is in place with Mike Summerfeldt being the latest addition. The former Jr. A goalie who also played professional hockey in Europe will look after the team's goaltenders as well as its defence. “We're just getting really excited about the way everything is coming (together),” Tupling said. He's the new coach and the Rebels
have a new owner, Michelle Cross. “We're really looking forward to a good year,” he said. To register for the camp, call Tupling at 226-820-6761, or email ibtupling@hotmail.com. “All players born in 2001 to 1997 are welcome to come out,” he said. His preference is that the players make their intention to attend known by at least the day before camp opens Aug. 19. “If somebody shows up (the same day as camp), we're not going to turn them away,” Tupling said. “We're going to have a look at them and see if they can help us..”

Pepper, Shannonville races Orange red-faced over lack of scoring draw top riders BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton – The Brighton Keystone Orange are having trouble scoring, being shut out their last two games, both by scores of 3-0. The latest defeat came at the feet of the Fury on Aug. 10. The victors hold down second spot in the Bay of Quinte Men’s Outdoor Soccer League, just two points behind the leaders, Hellenics, who have 23. Offence has been a season-long problem for Brighton, which has scored the

Belleville - Flat Track Canada’s National Series Round 5 took place at the Belleville Fairgrounds Saturday night in front of a packed grandstand with the second running of the George Pepper dirt track races, sponsored by MotoSport Plus of Kingston. The weather co-operated this year and a large contingent of motorcycle dirt track racers descended on Belleville, all looking to put their name on the prestigious George Pepper trophy, this being the second year of the newly revamped event. In the Open Expert final, National Series points leader Brodie Buchan of Leamington, got a great start, only to have the race red flagged because of an incident in corner four. A slight delay in the festivities did little to dampen the spirit of the young racer, on a track that he openly admits to struggle on. On the restart, Buchan mounted the Kurt Biegger Racing Honda and shot into the lead with a freight train of riders in hot pursuit, notably Dustin Brown and Tyler Seguin who were battling for runner-up status. With several laps still to go, Buchan’s steel shoe parted company with his left boot, leaving Buchan without to option of sliding his foot. With the shoe dangling precariously behind, Buchan managed to maintain his advantage over the rest of the field for the win. Brown held off Seguin for second, while Dave Pouliot, aboard the John Parker backed Kawasaki charged hard but finished just short of a podium spot. In fifth was Brandon Seguin. In the DTX class, it was Parker Norris with a big win, just ahead of Brodie Buchan while third place finisher Dave Pouliot pushed the two across the finish line. In fourth and fifth were Dustin Brown and

William Bellerose respectively. Tyler Seguin lead the field in the “Dash For Cash” challenge with Brodie Buchan in second and Dustin Brown in third. In the Open Intermediate race it was Matty Ward first across the line with Trent Pickle in second and Dustin Lambert in third, while Jimmy McCullough took the honours in DTX Intermediate. Behind McCullough were Trent Pickle and Dustin Lambert. Former Speedway champ John Kehoe had a great ride to win the Veteran Class race with senior statesman Rick Gumby in second. Quebec racer Buddy Ford took the final step of the podium after a race long battle with local rider Dan Doreen who had to settle for fourth. Picton’s Ric jones was unable to coax his CR500 Honda to life and missed the final. Jones however did enjoy another thrilling race to win the Vintage Modified race. In Production ATV racing, local racer Adam Minnie finished just short of a podium position, having to settle for fourth, behind
race winner Pierre Mayer, second place finisher Rodney Beaudrie and Shawn Waite who took third. After Saturday’s exciting event, the racers then set their sights on Trail Blazer Park in Shannonville where the Bayside Riders hosted a Flat Track Canada Provincial Round on Sunday. Dustin Brown took the win in the Open Expert race at Trail Blazer Park. In second was Dave Pouliot and Jimmy McCullough finished in third. In the DTX Expert final, it was Dave Pouliot first across the line and Dustin Brown in second. Taking the final step of the podium was Brodie Buchan. Local riders did well on their hometown track. Adam Minnie earned another fourth place finish in the Production ATV class while Ric Jones got a big win in the Vintage Mod class. Jones also had a race long battle in the Veteran 40+ race with Rick Gumby. Jones led most of the race but Gumby managed to get by for the win on the penultimate lap. Dan Doreen held onto third for most of the race but fell back into fourth at the flag.

fewest in the league, just eight goals in nine matches, and is tied for fifth spot, with Quinte Old Boys. The Orange’s meagre offence is evenly distributed; eight players have scored, but none more than once. Brighton’s next game is against Campbellford Aug. 17. Its record is worse, with just two wins and a tie in 10 matches but it has scored 13 goals; the flip side is that the team has given up 25, compared to Brighton’s 14, third best in the eightteam league.

Nothing funny about prank that spooked horse, hurt teen girl BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Stirling – Who would purposely spook a horse and hurt a teenaged girl? A Stirling-area family is baffled by that question, after 15-year-old Megan Settatree was injured in what seems to be a cruel prank that occurred on Baptist Church Road Sunday. Megan was riding with her six-year-old Paso Fino horse, Serafina, at about 5 p.m. on Sunday. She said she was riding south along the right side of the road near the Eggleton Cemetery, when a red truck with four young men came along. The car swerved to the side and a passenger took out a blow horn and made a loud noise to spook the horse, she said. “She went sideways and I went the other way.” Megan landed on the pavement and later went to Campbellford Memorial Hospital where she was treated for a fractured rib. She also now has a massively swollen cheek. On Monday, she and Serafina were back on their feet and doing as well as could be expected. But, the incident shocked her and her grandparents, Bob and Sandra Blakney, who are caring for Megan this summer while her parents are working in Bermuda. Baptist Church Road is a beautiful, rural road, full of good homes and neighbours, just east of the village of Stirling and not far from Belleville and Quinte West. It’s common to see people riding on horses in the area, the Blakneys say, and crimes such as this are rare. About five minutes before the incident, Megan had been knocked off the horse when Serafina was spooked by another vehicle ¬– a blue truck, Megan said. In that case, the incident may have been accidental, but a result of careless driving, The family isn’t sure if the blue truck incident was related to the red-truck incident. They reported the incidents to the Quinte West OPP, the police unit that covers the area. A call the investigating officer seeking comment on this story wasn’t immediately returned. There was no official release on the incident on the OPP’s news-

wire on Monday. telling the culprits how dangerously close they came that their granddaughter wasn’t more seriously hurt. The Blakneys wanted to speak publicly about the to seriously injuring a young girl and her horse. “Even if they don’t get caught, maybe they’ll beincident in hopes that it helps police catch the suspects They hope it will teach people the consequences come aware of what they did,” said Sandra. “Maybe and in the hope that the story reaches them, possibly of spooking a horse and say they’re most fortunate this will save another kid’s life.”

Rockhounds throng to gem of a show
Homeless study to be launched in area BY JACK EVANS
An “enumeration” of the homeless problem throughout the Quinte area will be the next major step to deal with the problem, the county Community and Human Services Committee agreed last week following a recommendation from staff and the provincial government. The study, to be funded by the province, will be conducted starting early next year, with a report expected next fall, said Erin Rivers, department director.
The provincial document states that such enumerations shall be conducted “every two years with consistent data collection.” Rivers’ department has identified that the program should apply to Belleville, Quinte West, Madoc and Bancroft to meet the province’s criteria. The committee also considered a renewed effort for improved affordable early childhood care. Hastings County operated its own child care program for many years, closing it down within recent years. Now
the province is seeking an all-Ontario early childhood program operated through municipalities. While details remain to be worked out, including whether the service can be contracted to private operators, the committee endorsed the proposal. The budgeted costs for the study are $1,423,538, already provided by the province. The committee was also told that placements under the Ontario Works Program show a sharp increase in recent weeks.

Celebrating 68 Years!
BY JACK EVANS
Bancroft – Despite being written off as a “ghost town” many years ago after the close of several uranium mining operations, this town has bounced back tremendously. Key evidence of that is the huge success of tourism and a large part of that picture is the annual Bancroft Gemboree, which the town has parlayed into the largest show of its kind in Canada. Held on the Civic Holiday weekend, this year’s show, despite threatening and rainy weather, surpassed all previous attendance levels even before its second day on Saturday, reported an excited Greg Webb, manager of the Bancroft and District Chamber of Commerce. The chamber spearheads the annual show, now past its 50th year. It was Sunday, the last day and the crowds were still coming on strong. Apart from the annual Gemboree, the town has also established itself as a retirement community and yearround tourist destination for hunting, fishing and other. One might say, Bancroft’s economy is now “rock solid.” Back to the Gemboree: with ore and gem specimens, jewellery from precious metals, polished stone samples and amazing fossils, some of huge size, this show involves hues and colours of all shades, tons of samples and materials, and many dozens of vendors of same from all over North America, taking up all the floor space in the town’s spacious arena plus another large building just down the road plus outdoor displays.
Stones of every hue of the rainbow filled the aisles in the Bancroft Arena for the annual Gemboree recently. Jack Evans/Metroland.
On Sunday, the last day, many vendors were offering discounts. But that only goes so far. “How flexible are you?” asked one curious browser. “How flexible are YOU?,” shot back the seasoned vendor. Besides the display sites, business was booming through the downtown core, including Bancroft’s new micro brewery being served at the long-established Bancroft Hotel, plus point of origin sales from a building at the back. One popular feature was a free stone assessment service by qualified personnel from the Royal Ontario Museum. Visitors were bringing in samples from around the province, most of
which proved to be common mica or otherwise nondescript stones. Tony Steede, the gem and stone expert using a lighted magnifying glass, was having a busy afternoon. “Most of the stones are quite common,” he said, “but I did see one or two unusual specimens, including a fossilized piece of tree from the banks of the Ottawa River.” The festival also includes lectures and games plus tours of potential gem stone mining sites for amateur prospectors to seek and find. Webb said that despite the dire weather forecast, “We had more than 100 people sign up for that.”
Tweed man dead, murder charge laid BY MELYSSA GLOUDE
Tweed – A 36-year-old man is charged with first degree murder after a body was found in a residence here Saturday.

Rinaldi to run again for MPP in 2018
Port Hope — Liberal MPP Lou Rinaldi will run again in June of 2018. With the Port Hope Community Health Centre serving as a backdrop, Rinaldi announced his intention to run as the Liberal candidate for the new Northumberland-Peterborough South riding. The decision was born out of a passion for the job, Rinaldi told supporters gathered for a recent announcement. “Every day I wake up and I love what I do. For me that is what made my decision to run again so easy,” said Rinaldi. As a new riding, Rinaldi said he will miss the friends he has made in Quinte West but looks forward to meeting new people in Peterborough and Clarington. Clarington Coun. Wendy Partner came forward to support
Rinaldi. Port Hope Mayor Bob Sanderson offered a gift of running shoes at the announcement. Rinaldi said he has the experience to be a voice for Northumberland-Peterborough South. When he was first elected in 2003, Port Hope had just lost its hospital and he worked to get the Port Hope Community Health Centre opened to serve the area, he said. But there is still more work to do. Rinaldi said he wants to continue to work on health care and jobs. He would like to help implement plans such as the OHIP Plus and free tuition to low income families to local communities. Rinaldi has served for more than 25 years in government. He started as a councillor in Brighton in 1992 and went on to serve as Mayor of Brighton from 2000 to 2003. He served two consecutive terms as Northumberland-Quinte West MPP from 2003 to 2011 and then
again from 2014 to the present. The Northumberland-Peterborough South Provincial Liberal Association president Jon Tondeur said in a news release he was delighted Rinaldi is running again. “Lou has been a tireless supporter for our riding and has always put his passion for public service and advocacy first,” said Tondeur. Rinaldi is straightforward, caring and committed to the community, said Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne in a news release. While no formal announcement has been made for the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario candidate, David Piccini has announced he is seeking the nomination for the riding. There has been no formal announcements for the provincial NDP or Green party.

Teen arrested for stealing vehicles Stirling – A 14-year-old boy was arrested for stealing vehicles here recently. The Stirling-Rawdon Police Service said on Friday, Aug. 11, that a youth had been arrested for two thefts of motor vehicles in Stirling this summer. On Wednesday, Aug. 2, members of the SRPS recovered a stolen motor vehicle in a field west of the village. A 14-year-old boy was arrested at the scene. Police believe the same youth also was respon-
sible for another motor vehicle theft in June. SRPS Constable Scott Burke said the youth’s identity is protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and that these incidents will be dealt with through the Restorative Justice Diversion program. This program is for youths between the ages of 12 and 17 at the time of the alleged offense. It is intended to be an alternative approach outside the traditional court system.

TRAVEL
A day trip to unique Perth in Lanark County A pleasant drive to the east on highway #7 took me past Sharbot Lake and Silver Lake to the beautiful, unique town of Perth, Ontario. It’s located southwest of Ottawa, in Lanark County, and on the Tay River. I’d decided to spend a day checking out some of its attractions, for I’d often driven through it, and I thought that it was now time to spend some quality time there. I knew that it was historically important, for it was established as a military settlement back in 1816 (it soon became known as the “Perth Military Settlement”), and its downtown core area of boutiques and specialty shops still today primarily operates out of well looked after century-old stone buildings. However, I also discovered that Perth offers the visitor several other unique attractions. While in the downtown core, one of my first pleasant discoveries was that the parking was free – and that there was a large, beautiful greenspace right there (Stewart Park). I soon learned that Stewart Park had been donated to the town back in 1947, and it was to be a place to escape from the hustle and bustle, relax, perhaps have a picnic lunch, and simply enjoy the glorious flower gardens and the river. It has become one of the town’s most distinctive landmarks, and free concerts are performed there on Thursday evenings during the summer months. There’s also an annual Stewart Park Music Festival each July – and it’s free! This beautiful, tranquil park is now also the home of a life-sized statue of world show jumping champion Ian Millar and his beloved horse, Big Ben. Since I mentioned music already, I feel that I need to talk about the Perth Citizens Band, for it’s Canada’s oldest active town band. This group still gives concerts, a tradition that dates back well over a hundred years. Apparently the Perth Citizens Band even played “The Maple Leaf Forever” back in 1893, when the town’s Mammoth Cheese departed from Perth for the Chicago
World’s Fair. The Mammoth Cheese had been an attempt to publicize Canadian cheddar and increase its popularity – and it worked! A group of Lanark cheese makers had been invited to participate in the creating of this gigantic cheese that would be exhibited at the Chicago World’s Fair. It was apparently made from the milk of 10,000 cows, and it weighed 22,000 pounds. It was 28 feet in circumference and 6 feet high. It was housed in a freight shed in Perth throughout the winter months – and was visited by several dignitaries, including Cabinet Ministers and the Governor General, before it departed, by rail, for the World’s Fair. Once it arrived in Chicago, the Mammoth Cheese crashed through the floor, and it had to be placed on reinforced concrete in the Agriculture Building! A full size replica of this Mammoth Cheese is now on display in Perth, so I, of course, had to check out this unique sculpture for myself (it’s located on the former site of the Perth Railway Station). While there, I also found an ad for the town’s annual Kilt Run, which takes place each June. This tradition was the town’s attempt to come up with a unique way to celebrate Perth, Scotland’s 800th birthday, so Perth, Ontario introduced an 8 km. kilt run in 2010. This proved to be so popular that it has continued and grown. It’s now known as “Perth’s World Record Kilt Run”, with over 2,000 participants, all wearing kilts (and, yes, it’s now an official Guinness World Record!). While in downtown Perth, I’d also recommend checking out the Perth Museum and the Perth Town Hall. Both are National Historic Sites, and both are located on Gore Street East. The former is in the 1840 Matheson House (he was a wealthy merchant and a senator in Canada’s first parliament), and the latter was built in 1863 (with its unique clock tower landmark) and is still used by the town council to this very day. I also found a nearby plaque for the Rideau Trail system, for Perth is on this impressive 400 km. hiking route be-

tween Ottawa and Kingston. Near the downtown core is also the Links O’Tay Golf Course, said to be “Canada’s oldest continuously operating golf course” (built in 1890). Perth is also home to Canada’s oldest pioneer burial ground, the old Methodist Burying Ground (on Robinson Street). It contains many historic graves that date back into the early 1800s, so I also decided to check this site out, too. It’s located near Last Duel Park, which is yet another unique Perth attraction, for the last fatal duel in Upper Canada took place there on June 13, 1833. Two young men, former friends, partook in a duel to the death over a woman (Elizabeth Hughes), and the winner eventually married her (but it didn’t end particularly well). Perth is home to many important historic buildings, and it’s also the site of several unique attractions. It’s definitely worth a day trip! For More Information: www.perth.ca

Public Health concerned with presence of fentanyl in area BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Multiple overdoses caused by strong opioid drugs have taken place in the region over the past several days, says Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. The news confirms that contaminated drugs are in the area and has prompted health officials to warn residents to take precautions. In a statement issued Aug. 3, Public Health said that, “over the past several months, local authorities have confirmed that many street drugs are being cut with high potency opioids, which are very likely to include fentanyl.” The local presence of illicit fentanyl has the potential to significantly increase the risk and rate of fatal overdoses because most people are unaware of the presence of illicit fentanyl in street drugs, Public Health says. Also, there is no control over the purity or quality of bootleg fentanyl. And, perhaps most importantly, an amount as small as 1 grain of salt can be fatal. In an interview Stephanie McFaul, a program manager for Public Health, said that recently, in the span of two days, five overdoses were reported in the area. This information is gleaned from hospital emergency room data and cannot account for any overdoses that were treated in a person’s home and went unreported. While Public Health does not endorse drug use, it recognizes that some people will inevitably choose to use drugs, and therefore it focuses its messages on ensuring people use drugs safely, McFaul explained. She stressed that it’s important for people who choose to use drugs to not use them alone, understand the nature of the drug they’re using, and understand their tolerance level. They should also be aware of the signs of overdose, and should have access to a Naloxone kit, which are available from Public Health and from participating pharmacies. Individuals having an opioid overdose will have one or more of the following signs or symptoms: the person is unresponsive or doesn’t wake up easily, breathing is slow or not present, nails and lips are blue, the body is limp, the person is choking or throwing up, the person is making gurgling or snoring sounds, and the skin is cold and clammy. An overdose is a medical emergency – even if the user has a kit present, McFaul stressed. Anyone that suspects or witnesses an overdose should call 911, administer Nal-

oxone/Narcan Kits (Lifesaver Kits), and stay with the person and wait for paramedics to arrive. Free Naloxone (overdose reversal) kits are available to current and past opioid users, as well as the family and friends of current or previous users. McFaul acknowledged that the presence of fentanyl in the area is scary because it can kill a person so easily – even a first-time user. However, the Public Health industry takes the matter seriously and is making efforts to ensure those who use drugs get the help they need. Since introducing the Naloxone kit program in the fall of 2016, Public Health staff have distributed about 160 kits. Nurses there are trained in how to teach people to use the kit effectively and can give a free tutorial. The small kits also have simple step-by-step instructions. For more information call Public Health at 613-9665500 or visit hpepublichealth.ca for more information on the Narcan/Nasal Spray (Lifesaver) overdose reversal kits and training. Also call 1-800-565-8603 or visit Ontario.ca for a list of pharmacies where you can get a free Naloxone injectable kit.

Peterborough - While a site is being cleared for Peterborough’s new casino, questions loom about what’s happening to the old building for Shorelines Slots. Kawartha Downs general manager Orazio Valente says he’s still planning what to do with the building in Fraserville. He adds no one has approached Kawartha Downs about “alternate uses” for the site which has a racetrack, restaurant and large slots area, plus offices. Valente says he’s hoping to announce something in the
autumn but he’s not ready to say anything yet. “We’re starting to form contingency plans,” he explains. “There’s not much I can probably share with you now.” The gaming and racing centre opened on July 22, 1972 and has been home to slot machines, harness racing, as well a paved speedway for cars. The current building was added to the site in the late 1990s. At the gaming site at 3:30 p.m. on a weekday, nearly every other machine was occupied. The main room was still filled with 500 slots machines, with many of the gamblers be-
ing seniors. In April 2016, Shorelines announced it was planning to move from its location in Cavan Monaghan Township to a new facility in Peterborough on Crawford Drive. Allan Seabrooke, the city’s chief administrative officer, says work has begun at the new site and the ground is currently being cleared. A groundbreaking ceremony is likely to occur in August. He says the anticipated opening date is planned for the third quarter of 2018. “It really depends on weather and how long it takes to construct the building itself,” he adds.

The Good Earth
If it ain’t mulched, it ain’t much
By Dan Clost The heat has arrived. We can adjust our environmental experiences by a flip of a switch, a change of location, a sip of a cooling beverage; in short, we can respond to our surroundings to ensure our maximum comfort. While plants also employ a variety of means to keep themselves as cool as necessary, they don’t
have the luxury of movement. They’re rooted to the spot. It is our responsibility as the gardeners who put them there to ensure their well-being. [Dan on the soapbox: While I fully understand, Gentle Reader, that plants are not people, they represent the resources of our planet and it is our obligation to husband them as best we can. We are privileged to be gardeners, to have the riches, the time and the wherewithal to pursue gardening as an enjoyable diversion. Yes, gardening can be an essential therapy; but for the most part, it is merely our hobby, no matter how passionate we might engage in it. Take time to consider how your plant, whether a petunia or a maple, came to be in your possession. Think of the resources used to grow and transport it, the impact its production has on the global environment, on the social and economic communities in which it was grown and the ongoing consumption of resources required to sustain it. That’s quite the heavy philosophical load to drop on you, GR, especially when all you wanted to do was look at pretty flowers in your garden. However, we’re all in this together and this is just one of the avenues we can travel together as we walk softly on this good earth which sustains us. Dan clambers off the pedestal.] In our gardens, it is the heat in the soil with which we are most concerned. We know bare soil accumulates heat more quickly than covered ground (by a plant canopy, a shade-casting structure or mulch.) Moisture will be used more quickly by the plant as well as evaporate at a more rapid rate. The hot soil can seriously damage or kill the organisms in the duff layer (top inch or so) and the rhizosphere
(root zone) which make up the living elements in the surface layer (aka organic layer and A-horizon.) We’re just scratching the surface here, GR, so while those terms are essentially correct some soil boffins might be want to get down into the nitty-gritty. Also, quoting from a grass study, “High soil temperatures generally increase the respiration rate in roots, which might cause carbohydrate starvation and root dieback.” So, we have many reasons to keep soil covered. The best way is to provide that coverage with a plant canopy. IN the spring, without the cover, the cold of winter can be melted away by allowing full solar access to bare ground. As the plants grow, their leaves will shade the soil and the root zone will stay nice and cool. Optimum levels are between 10˚C -18˚C. However many of our gardens are not planted
chock-a-block and these are the areas upon which we must place our focus; the areas upon which we must place our mulch. There are many different types of mulch and I’ll leave it to you to decide which you prefer. Remember, for this application, our primary goal is to moderate soil temperatures. Any other benefit is a plus. For our gardens, I prefer to use shredded pine bark mulch. It is readily available, relatively cheap, easy to handle, perfect for acid-loving plants, a natural by-product, smells nice; and, returns organic matter to the soil. Shredded cedar mulch is an alternate for areas where a neutral or basic soil is required. Stay away from “enhanced mulch products” unless someone can tell you exactly what is in them. Take a stroll around your estate to see if mulching is warranted.

Inspection worries county home officials BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - Provincial inspectors found a few flaws in Hastings County’s Belleville seniors home in a recent inspection, Debbie Rollins, director of long-term care, reported to her committee meeting last week. “We knew the inspectors were coming but we thought it was a one-day quick check, instead they were here for four full days and implemented a new environmental program as well,” Rollins said. She quickly added that the inspection was amicable and pos-
itive, but a few flaws were noted which, she feared, might cause some concern with the public. But, when the provincial inspectors were shown the county’s plans and committed budgets for necessary upgrades, they were satisfied. New flooring, for instance, is already in this year’s budget and will be addressed before the year ends. She said the inspection’s final tally was “six notices,” but all are covered in the county’s three-year plan. The inspectors were also satisfied with staff co-operation, she said.
There were also notices concerning staff “for not following plans of care and ensuring all fall safety measures are in place.” Those notices were immediately addressed, the committee heard. Staff have also been given updated instructions for prompt reporting of any and all cases of abuse, including suspected cases. She described the inspection as “very detailed,” and although it may appear to be a problem, because of the notices, “I don’t’ think council has anything to worry about,” Rollins said.

County opposes firefighter as paramedics
In urban centres, firefighters are dispatched to most all emergency medical calls. Not so in rural areas of Hastings County for volunteer firefighters and that’s just the way most municipalities want it to remain. There’s no doubt, county emergency services committee members heard at their regular meeting, that many firefighters have qualifications as emergency medical assistants. Changes in provincial legislation allow for ambulance calls to be augmented with firefighters properly trained in emergency medical qualifications and that system is used in cities like Belleville and urban Quinte West in Trenton. But, Hastings County and a number of other rural councils are not interested in pursuing this, despite proposed changes to Ontario’s Ambulance Act. The bottom line is just that, the bottom line and the cost associated with having volunteer firefighters reimbursed for being dispatched to rural medical calls. The issue drew serious concerns when it first came to council several weeks ago in a notice. A draft form of the changes is now before municipalities. The law suggests pilot projects to test the concept in rural areas. But, the Quinte Emergency Medical Services plus county staff are concerned that it could result in sharply increased costs for such assistance with little or no improvement in case outcomes. Those costs could involve litigation if there were any concerns about such outcomes by less qualified personnel, Department Chief Doug Socha told his committee last week. But he and staff welcome some other changes in the act, especially an improved dispatch system

which emergency units have been advocating for some time. Another one is taking patients who qualify because of non-serious injuries to clinics or other treatment centres rather than hospital emergency rooms to save overloading those services, and perhaps long distances in transportation. Such authorized points remain to be identified and spelled out in the legislation, Socha noted, but it would be a progressive step, he contended. Socha also drew the committee’s attention to a sharp increase in overall caseloads, plus in calls to transfer patient between hospitals, which tie up units and staff away from regular duties. The committee also endorsed a resolution from South Algonquin Township calling for an ambulance service for their entire area, which also includes Algonquin Park as a non-organized area.

Deadly 401 crash; Newcastle, Guelph men named as deceased Port Hope – Police have released the names of two men killed during a fiery multi-vehicle crash on Thursday, Aug. 3. In an update, Wednesday, Aug. 9, police reported the men killed in the collision have been positively identified as 26-year-old Newcastle resident Todd Gardiner and Michael Glazier, 35, of Guelph. “Both deceased were travelling together in a Chevy pickup truck at the time of the collision,” said Northumberland OPP Cst. Tanya Royall in the update Wednesday. “Two other drivers involved in the collision were transported to an area hospital for non-life threatening injuries.” The investigation into the collision is ongoing, say police. On Aug. 3, just after 10 p.m., police, fire and paramedics responded to the multivehicle crash on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401, just east of County Road 28. An eastbound tractor-trailer had reportedly collided with two other eastbound passenger vehicles, which resulted in a fire and consumed three vehicles. Names of the deceased were initially withheld pending next of kin notification. Metroland’s Northumberland News reported drivers were slowing down for construction on the highway, when the transport truck collided with the two vehicles. Officers, alongside the OPP’s Technical Traffic Collision Investigators (TTCI)
remained on the scene of the crash over night and shut down the highway, from Toronto Road in Port Hope, to Burnham Street in Cobourg for several hours as they investigated. The westbound lanes of the highway were also closed due to poor visibility caused by smoke, until just before 2 a.m., Friday, Aug. 4. The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) had to complete repairs to the surface of the highway Friday, before the remaining lanes re-opened for eastbound travel and the on-ramps at Toronto Road and County Road 28 were re-opened. All lanes finally re-opened around 4 p.m. Friday. Northumberland OPP thanks the public for their patience during the road closure. “The decision to close a road is not taken lightly and we recognize the significant impact on personal and commercial traffic that is causes,” said Royall in a previous statement. “However public safety, officer safety and the safety of our partners working are the main considerations when deciding to close a road.” With files from Northumberland News

Volunteer music leader needed in Belleville
A volunteer music leader is needed by St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 67 Victoria Avenue, Belleville, to rehearse, lead and accompany (grand piano) a small choir/singing group for Sunday services twice a month, and hopefully, once or twice a month at seniors’ residences or nursing homes. Possible future involvement in
County seeks new official plan input BY JACK EVANS
worship support committee may be involved. “Our services are in a traditional style, emphasizing reverence and quality of music in worship,” said a spokesman for St. Andrew’s. Interested individuals should contact Barry Birkett at bbirkett@yahoo.com to arrange an interview, and should be willing to start early in the fall.
As promised to county council at recent meetings, the Hastings Planning Department is moving ahead on public consultation on a draft for a new county official plan. A series of public consultations opens Monday, Aug. 28 at the Highlands of Hastings Municipal Office in Maynooth, from 9:30 a.m.to noon, followed by one at the Dungannon Recreation Center, L’Amable, on Aug.
30 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. On Thursday, Aug. 31, the consultation is from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. though 8 p.m. at the Tyendinaga Recreation Centre, Shannonville, then at the Township of Madoc Municipal Hall, 15651 Highway 62 on Tuesday Sept. 5 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Warden Rodney Cooney also has announced a new web page dedicated to information on the proposed new plan, which is already up and running in hopes of stimulating public interest and comment. “Significant work has gone into this plan and we look forward to receiving valuable input from members of our community,” commented the warden. The plan will be a key document in shaping future growth in the county over the next two to three decades, he noted, so it is important for people to be involved. Input may include physical growth, infrastructure needs,
conservation of natural resources and cultural heritage. Copies of the plan are also available at the county offices in Belleville or on line from the new Hastings County web page: www. hastingscounty.com.

Give your children a lifetime of
confidence
Confidence comes from feeling good about yourself – your skills, your intelligence, and your appearance. Children with crooked, gapped and overlapping teeth are often teased by their peers, leading them to hide their smile – and their true personality.
Dr. Julianne Peterson can transform your child’s smile into one that is straight, beautiful and healthy. Call our office at 613-969-8822 for your orthodontic consultation today.

The family of DAVID DOWN wish to extend a sincere thank you to all of our relatives, neighbours and friends who provided so much love and support during a very difficult time. Words cannot fully express how much your visits, kind words and shared stories have meant to us. In addition to those neighbours who provided immediate assistance at the accident site, we wish to acknowledge the quick and professional response of the Brighton Fire Department, Northumberland Paramedics and OPP Northumberland Detachment; the care and guidance of the Wooler United Church, Reverend Kathy Edmison and Weaver Funeral Homes, and the help with the funeral lunch provided by volunteers from the Codrington Community Centre and Codrington Women’s Institute. We also want to thank everyone who donated to McPhail’s Cemetery and Farmtown Park in David’s memory. Finally, a very heartfelt thankyou is necessary for those special friends of David who honoured him with a tractor parade. “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead” Nelson Mandela Thank you all for confirming that David’s life was a life well lived.

Fight the Bite: Lyme and West Nile are real threats BY FRANCES TSOTSOS
Mention ‘West Nile’ 20 years ago, and it may have been as part of a conversation on African geography. Today, we know ‘West Nile’ as a virus spread by the bite of infected mosquitoes. Originally ‘discovered’ in 1937 in the West Nile district of Northern Uganda (hence its name), the virus first appeared in North America in 1999. Today, West Nile virus is firmly established across the continent. West Nile virus demonstrates how small our world has become in recent years. Diseases once isolated to one part of the globe can now quickly spread – especially with the extent of worldwide
travel. Climate change is also creating conditions where diseases can flourish in places they never did before. Take Lyme disease. Lyme is spread by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick (or deer tick). Because of favourable climate conditions, the population of blacklegged ticks is expanding into more areas of Ontario, leading to a rise in Lyme disease cases. Both West Nile virus and Lyme disease are considered ‘vector-borne’ diseases. This means a living organism (or ‘vector’) bites and spread the illness to people. Because of climate change, ‘vectors’ like mosquitoes and ticks can expand their
range – and their ability to spread disease. We see this in the spread of Zika virus in parts of Central and South America. Although the mosquito that transmits Zika is not currently present in Canada, it’s expected that climate change will eventually increase this mosquito’s geographic range, potentially putting more people at risk. Thankfully, there is a tried and true remedy for dealing with diseases spread by ‘vectors’ like mosquitoes and ticks. It’s a health message we have been hearing for years – fight the bite – and it provides ways to reduce our risk: • Cover up: Applying insect repellent or bug spray containing DEET on
clothes and exposed skin can keep pests at bay. Clothing also offers an important layer of protection. When possible, wear light-coloured, long-sleeved clothing to keep bugs out and make them easier to spot. On hikes, wear closed-toe shoes, tuck pants into socks and stay on the centre of trails and paths. • Clean up: Maintaining property is another good deterrent. To reduce mosquito-breeding areas, remove any standing water outdoors that mosquitoes could use to lay their eggs. Keep brushes and shrubs clear of overgrowth and debris. For ticks, keep grass mowed short, and trim bushes and tree branches to let in sunlight.
• Check up: After being outdoors, we should always check ourselves for bites. Swipe away any mosquitoes that are trying to bite. For ticks, check the entire body for bites. If noticing a tick, promptly and properly remove it from the skin to prevent infection – then clean the bite site with rubbing alcohol or soap/ water. If a tick has been feeding for more than 24 hours, seek medical attention. • Call up: Get more prevention tips by contacting the Health Unit toll-free at 1-866-888-4577 or visiting www.hkpr. on.ca.

New Festival Players season off to great start
(Advertorial Feature)
ANNOUNCEMENT
BY JACK EVANS
HTM Insurance Company held a very successful grand opening of their new office building on Thursday July 13th, 2017. Many people from all around gathered to celebrate the expansion of HTM on the Thursday afternoon, with live music, lunch and cake. There was a ribbon cutting ceremony to commence the official opening of the new building, cut by Bruce Buttar, Chairman of the Board of Directors for HTM. Also present was Cobourg Mayor Gil Brocanier, Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, town crier Mandy Robinson. The company began in 1898 as Hamilton Township Farmers’ Mutual Fire Insurance Company and for the last thirty-five years, their office was located on Division Street by the 401 in the Town of Cobourg. As of May 2017, they moved into a new home, still in Cobourg, but now located on the corner of Elgin Street West and Wilkins Gate. There were a number of big decisions the board had to make with regards to this project. One of them was location. Not just where in Cobourg, but whether Cobourg was the place to build. HTM’s new community has so much to offer businesses and their employees. The new office will help retain and attract employees by providing a dynamic and modern facility that promotes productivity, health and vitality. HTM is very community minded so it incorporated a large community room that will be provided to non-profit groups for their meetings at no charge. CEO and President of HTM, Alec Harmer states in his speech about the new building, “It is a symbol of what HTM is and will continue to be…modern and bold.” HTM is very happy with the tremendous support they have received from all around and look forward to their future in the new building.
Literature experts claim Shakespeare’s Sir John Falstaff in “Henry IV Part 1” is one of the most comedic figures in English literature. Bottom, the large economy-sized tradesman in “Midsummer Night’s Dream” can’t be too far behind, especially as played by Bruce Dow with this summer’s production by the Festival Players of Prince Edward County. Barely into its run through Aug. 27, the show has been drawing large audiences and plenty of laughter. When Bottom and a few of his lowbred friends decide to become actors, Bottom wants to play all the parts. Some of his friends suffer stage fright. But that’ only a small part of this amusing comedy and fantasy romance, involving love potions, fairies, enchanted forest and squabbling young lovers. Founded by Wellington resident John Burns more than 10 years ago, the festival has now established itself as prime summer entertainment. But this is the first time it has offered Shakespeare, and this play is an excellent choice with its comedy and romantic intrigues. Imagine, for instance, a beautiful fairy queen, enamoured of a donkey-headed braying Bottom, thanks to a spell cast by her estranged husband, King Oberon (Connor Thompson, who also plays Theseus, Duke of Athens.) The Fairy Queen, Titania (Anna Hardwick)
This aerial view shows the proximity of the festival tent to the Lake Ontario shoreline. Photo submitted
also plays challenging double roles as the Duke’s wife- to- be, Hippolyta. A young couple in love, Hermia and Lysander seek to thwart Hermia’s father’s plans to betroth her to Demetrius, who is hopelessly pursued by Helena despite his protestations. The actors also sing and play instruments, including a garbage bucket percussion line and keyboard for Dow as bottom, with original music and songs. Typically Shakespearean coarse humour can be experienced at several points. The performance tent is set up just behind Wellington United Church, like the Stratford stage, audience surrounding the large stage,and the site, just a few feet away from the lakeshore, offers the lulling surf on the shore as background sound.
Opening this week is the season’s second major play, another comedy, “Stones in His Pocket,” about a theatre group taking over a small town in Ireland for a show with plenty of dissension and confusion with local residents. The third play, “Mary’s Wedding,”opens Aug. 15. Matinee times for “Midsummer Nights’s Dream” are limited: Aug. 18, Aug. 20,Aug. 26 and 27 at 2p.m. Regular evening performances are over by 10 p.m. A wine bar is available for all performances. Other activities with the festival offer the public a chance to take part is cold readings of scripts and theatre workshops for teens and adults Visit the festival website: www.festivalplayers.ca for full details and tickets.

One man show ‘Rosewood’ draws full houses BY JACK EVANS
Quinte West - “This Is Rosewood – Tales from the Tavern,” drew full houses to the Old Church Theatre for both Saturday and Sunday performances last weekend. The play is a masterful piece of work by widelyknown Quinte area thespian Rick Zimmerman, written by Belleville playwright Peter Paylor. Program notes state: “Rosewood is every small town. It’s the town you grew up in or knew someone from or maybe passed through on the way to someplace else. It’s the town where the main street is called Main Street and the barber and mayor are on a first name basis, unless of course, the barber and the mayor are one and the same.” That sets the stage for Zimmerman to take over and introduce himself as Stanley or Stan, a third-generation bartender who is being tempted to sell out to a large, New York City-based consortium planning a massive roadhouse.AS the only person on stage, he held the crowd in his hands for the full two hours of the show, except for an intermission. Rambling on as sometimes small town characters do, he talked about all the other Stanleys in the business community, the disruption of business from underground service repairs, whether and where he should buy another business, or even if he should take the generous offer
proposed. Finally, he recalls the glory year of the town’s Rosewood Rockets hockey game against a Russian team and the star being a large and talented local girl. As he rummages through boxes of memorabilia trying to pack up, he keeps coming across memories of other events, especially a sweater his dad bought when they took a trip to California but couldn’t get into Disneyland. There’s the mayor’s anxiety about missing out on people travelling on foot or bicycle across the county for charity causes and a man pushing a lawn mower be- Rick Zimmerman is a small town bartender recalling incidents of a mythical community in “This Is Rosewood - Tales from ing mistaken for one of the Tavern.” Photo submitted. them.
