Cycling across the country for Canada 150 BY SARAH HYATT
Codrington — The year 2017 has been monumental for Canadian celebrations. For Howard and Cathy McCann’s granddaughter, Julie Van de Valk, it will without a doubt be a year she never forgets. From the Prairies to the Yukon and the Northwest Territories, and everywhere in between, the 23-year-old had seen it all before she stopped in Codrington to visit her grandparents recently. “I’ve been seeing Canada in a really new way,” said Van de Valk during her stop in Codrington. “The Yukon was absolutely mind-blowing.” Van de Valk left Vancouver on Canada Day and has been zigzagging across the nation by bike ever since, spending her days and nights along places like the Dempster Highway. She graduated in April from the University of British Columbia, with a bachelor’s degree in geological engineering. Her cross-country cycle is her way of celebrating. Looking back, maybe she planned a little “too much time off,” she joked. She’d put more than 10,000 kilometres behind her as she reached Codrington on Aug. 27. “It’s pretty amazing what she’s doing,” said Howard, as he’s listened to his granddaughter talk about her experiences so far and the people’s she met along the way. To date, Van de Valk has also visited the Arctic Circle, drove through the land of the “midnight sun” and explored Northern Ontario, stopping to visit friends, friends’ parents and family along the way. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. She’ll certainly have a better perspective than most of Canada after she’s finished and seeing it this way,” said Howard. “That’s going to stay with her forever, so it is — it’s kind of amazing to me.” Her journey toward and through the

Northwest Territories and into Inuvik was a “fantastic ride” with great scenery. It’s truly beautiful, said Van de Valk. She recalled the start of her journey during her Codrington visit, as well as biking past all the Canada Day celebrations. Something just felt right about the experience and seeing her country by bike, she said. The 23-year-old first caught a bit of the cycling bug after spending a summer in Cambodia, where she used her bike as transportation to get to and from work there. Later, when she returned home, she had a roommate who was an avid cycler. She got her first road bike thereafter. She vividly recalls her first test drive on the bike and almost falling off, she said with a

adorable fashion. Howard rode out to meet his granddaughter on his bike as she was coming down the road. Cathy made sure all the “panic buttons” were pushed on the cars as the two rode up McCann Road. “To visit here has been great,” she said. On Aug. 30, Van de Valk hit the road again. She’ll be visiting places like Montreal and Quebec City, with plans to end her journey in Halifax, N.S. Her goal is to complete her trek by midSeptember. Van de Valk is returning home to Vancouver and will start work again in October, in water resource engineering. Van de Valk grew up in Waterloo. Jackie went there for university and never came back, Cathy jokes.. And while the scenery and places she’s visited have been beautiful, it’s the people Van de Valk has met along the way that have made for some of her fondest memories. She hasn’t met one negative person throughout her trip; rather, everyone has been exceptionally encouraging, she said. Van de Valk has had strangers offer her food and one gentleman gave her $10 for dinner. Parents have brought their kids to talk with the cyclist after learning what she’s been doing, which has been really nice, she said. “I’ve met and talked with every flag construction worker I’ve passed on my way here.” Her grandmother is “pretty proud” and describes Van de Valk as someone who’s always been fairly independent. She’d come for holidays and even when she was just three years old, “it was ‘OK, bye mom and dad’ and she was off,” recalled Cathy. Cathy made her granddaughter a Canada 150 quilt to commemorate her journey. She put the words “strong and free” on the quilt, which has been Van de Valk’s motto
laugh. She’s enjoyed riding ever since and continues to enjoy it, despite any challenges she’s had on her recent journey, like lots of hills for example. Along the way, any time she’s facing an uphill trek, the cycler just reminds herself that eventually she has to go downhill. And while she’s currently tackling a nationwide trek, she doesn’t actually consider herself “a huge cyclist.” Just last summer, Van de Valk cycled more than 100 kilometres for the first time, she said. She’s clearly put that record to bed since, however, with her lengthiest ride in a day totalling about 270 kilometres. As Van de Valk arrived in Codrington, her grandparents welcomed her in the most throughout journey.

families and loved ones are going through enough at the end of one’s life. The hospice exists so that people and their families can simply just be there with their loved ones, and not have to worry about things like medical care. “I think our highest priced item at the yard sale was one item at $50,” noted Kerr. “So, when you think about it, that’s a lot of $2, $3 and $5 items people bought to make this happen.” The community’s response to Kerr’s call for help has once again blown the Brightonian away. “We’re up to about $3,600 and a little bit now,” she said on Thursday, Aug. 31. “And we still have a couple big items people donated to put up on Kijiji, so I suspect after that we will have raised about $4,000.” This means proceeds raised this year will have nearly doubled in comparison to last year. Similarly, last year’s fundraiser saw about a 48 per cent increase in comparison to the yard sale’s first year. “I had a terrific group of a few friends and relatives who helped me,” said Kerr. To those who helped organize the fundraiser and clean up afterwards, as well as those who have supported the hospice through the yard sale, Kerr wants people to know their efforts matter and their support has not and will not go unappreciated. Anyone looking for more information on the Warkworth-based hospice, which serves all of the region, can visit thebridgehospice.
BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton-Following a fundraiser for the Bridge Hospice in Warkworth, Ruth Kerr said she is “absolutely amazed” with her community. Toward the end of August, Kerr called on the community to help those at end-of-life, as she hosted a giant fundraising yard sale in support of the hospice. “I had to turn people away,” said Kerr, as she recalled the days leading up to the fundraiser. “I had to call back some 12 people to tell them I just couldn’t take their stuff or donations [for the yard sale].” Another couple residents showed up at the Brighton and District Curling Club on the Saturday morning of the fundraiser, also looking to donate to the yard sale. “We just didn’t have any room left,” said Kerr. “I’m absolutely amazed with the people who donated, and the people who came out and bought stuff.” Kerr has put on the yard sale fundraiser for three years now, as she continues to push to ensure residents and families have options for care at end-of-life. The hospice remains heavily reliant on fundraising, donations and volunteer efforts to sustain operations. Proceeds from Kerr’s yard sale help with operating costs, including costs for lighting, heat, water and food for people and their families. Residents of the hospice and their families pay nothing during their stay; all services are provided free of charge. The idea is that com .

Police report: Girl returned safely, Tinder scam, cougar sighting Northumberland Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS), where people may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 and will not have to appear in court. Aug. 30 -A raccoon was shot by police for “humane reasons due to the severity of its injuries,” following a motorist’s run in with the animal. An officer was flagged down by the motorist on County Road 30 at around 12:42 a.m., after the motorist struck the raccoon. There was no damage to the vehicle. -Police responded to a 911 call from a Grafton area home. Upon arrival officers learned a twoyear-old had been playing with a phone, causing the emergency call. Aug. 29 -A resident reported a sighting of a cougar on County Road 41 in Brighton near the Quinte West border, at around 7:42 a.m. Officers checked the area, but were unable to locate the animal. -An auto repair business on County Road 2 in Hamilton Township reported a break-in that occurred sometime overnight. Police report entry was gained through the main office sliding window at the front of the building. The office was ransacked and a quantity of money was taken and also a 2001 red Honda Civic. Officers located the abandoned car the next day on Packers Road, near the 1st Line in Alnwick-Haldimand Township. The investigation is ongoing and police ask anyone with information reach out to their nearest OPP detachment. -A Hamilton Township resident reported losing $1,400 to an online ‘U.S. army fraud,’ on the social site Tinder in June 2017.

involved sending money via the Western Union, to a person impersonating a U.S. army soldier. The investigation is ongoing and again, police are asking anyone with information contact their nearest OPP detachment. Aug. 28
-A child under five was found wandering in the area of Rice Lake Drive North in Hamilton Township, dressed only in her pyjamas at about 7:19 a.m. “The caller who found the child kept her until officers arrived,” said police. An officer took charge of the child, while at the same time other officers were flagged down by a neighbour, who was out looking for the child. The young girl was returned home safely and in good health. Police hadn’t been notified of the missing child by the family. Northumberland OPP is reminding the public, time is of the essence when a kid goes missing. Once the home has been checked for a child, it’s recommended people contact police immediately. Appropriate resources can then be put in place quickly, to ensure a timely response and a safe return of the child, say police. This applies as well to all vulnerable persons, such as people with dementia and people with either cognitive or mental health illnesses. -Police responded to a dropped
911 call at a Hamilton Township home. When officers arrived they determined a domestic dispute had occurred, which resulted in one partnercharged with spousal assault.

Jeffrey Fernand Crete, 42, of Ottawa, is charged with two counts of failing to comply with his recognizance, obstructing a peace officer, driving while disqualified and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. He was held for a bail hearing scheduled later in the day, at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg. He remains in custody until his next court appearance on Sept. 8. -A disagreement over a decision to attend a wedding resulted in police responding to a domestic dispute outside of a Colborne residence.

Northumberland – In an effort to address growing concerns over fentanyl and other opioid overdoses in the area, health unit staffers are now looking to ensure all residents and communities know where to turn for help. On Tuesday, Aug. 29, staff announced the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit is the latest local agency to start carrying free naloxone kits. “The Ministry of Health has identified that the opioids overdose risk is not diminishing, but only increasing across Ontario,” said Denise Smith, substance misuse prevention and harm reduction coordinator with the health unit, following the announcement of the free naloxone kits. “…This is why people are seeing increased funding being made available for things like naloxone kits.” On the same Tuesday, as reported in the Toronto Star, Health Minister Eric Hoskins also announced Ontario would earmark an extra $222 million to fight the current opioid crisis. The funding increase over three years is said will provide for more naloxone kits, more supervised injection sites and more “rapid-access” clinics, as well as fund more harm-reduction workers, as opioid deaths rose 19 per cent last year to 865 people. Health unit staffers are hoping residents will take note and that with the naloxone kits readily available, this will help with the situation in Northumberland and the risk of overdoses due to fentanyl and other opioids in the area will be reduced. Public health staff is now fully trained and available to show people how to use the naloxone kits in an overdose emergency, said Smith. Naloxone is an emergency medicine that temporarily reverses the effects of an opioid overdose until a person can get to the hospital for treatment. Smith is encouraging people to take advantage of the naloxone kits and encouraging residents to learn what they can do to prevent “needless opioid overdoses and deaths.” As Thursday, Aug. 31 marked International Overdose Awareness Day, Smith stressed the importance of also raising awareness about the risk of opioids. “We’re not immune to the risks of opioids and other drugs, as local police are seeing bootleg fentanyl turning up in illicit drugs seized here,” she said. “But with greater community awareness and action, we can save lives by helping reduce opioid overdoses.” The health unit describes ‘opioids’ as powerful, prescription painkillers taken for relief from certain medical conditions. “The problem is that some opioids are highly addictive, leading to their misuse and [the] resulting rise in opioid-related overdoses and deaths across Canada. A surge of some bootleg opioids, especially fentanyl and a much more powerful variation of it [known as] carfentanil, is showing up in illicit patches, powders and pills, which is making the overdose problem even worse.” Through the health unit, the naloxone kits are now available in Port Hope, at 200 Rose Glen Rd. Those who use opioids as well as their family or friends can also call the health unit at 1-866-888-4577
to access the naloxone kits. While Brighton no longer has a local health unit office, this doesn’t mean residents cannot access kits locally. Health unit staffers still visit Brighton on a regular basis for a variety of other clinics and arrangements could be made for staff to meet with residents and for residents to pick up kits. Residents who may wish to pursue this avenue should call the health unit. Free kits are also available to people at participating pharmacies throughout the county. In Brighton, the Rexall Pharma Plus, at 1 Main St. and the Brighton Remedy’s Rx pharmacy, at 24 Main St. have the kits. People in other areas throughout the county may also choose to visit the Ontario government website www.ontario.ca for more information on participating pharmacies. Brightonians also have the option to call PARN at 1-800-3612895 or the Carea Community Health Centre and the Hepatitis C Team at 1-855-808-6242 for free naloxone kits.
Help address the opioid problem: The Health Unit suggests the following for residents: • Take advantage of free naloxone kits available in the area. • Immediately call 911 if someone is experiencing a drug overdose. In Canada, new federal legislation (the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act/Bill C-224) can offer some legal protection for people who call 911 in an overdose situation. • Discourage people who use drugs from doing so alone. • Encourage people not to mix drugs with other substances like alcohol and remind people who use drugs to take smaller amounts of the substance, especially if they have not recently used it. • Safely dispose of unused/expired prescription medications (like opioids) through pharmacies. • Support people who are seeking treatment for their drug use by directing them to counselling programs like Fourcast Addiction Services (1-800-461-1909 or www.fourcast.ca). • Learn about a new regional drug strategy (www.hkprdrugstrategy.ca) for Northumberland, Haliburton and Kawartha Lakes.

OPINION
Disaster coverage – not voyeurism, it’s news
Climate creep and American frogs At least a decade ago, a retired general at the Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies said to me that the rich countries will never take climate change seriously until some very big and apclimate-relatGwynne Dyer parently ed disaster happens in a first-world country. Hurricane Harvey was not that disaster. At least 60 people have died in the Houston floods, and the number will undoubtedly go up. In Bangladesh, at least 134 have died in monsoon flooding that has submerged at least a third of the country. But the latter fact will have no impact on opinion in the developed countries – “it’s just the monsoon again” – and the Texas disaster is not big enough to change minds in the United States. Nor should it. Hurricanes are an annual event in the Gulf of Mexico, and their causes are well understood. Global warming has raised the amount of rain that this storm dumped on east Texas by 3-5 percent. (Higher sea surface temperature = more evaporation.) It also probably caused the changed wind patterns that kept Harvey loitering off the coast for so long. But it did not cause Harvey. The Houston floods are causing so much disruption and misery mainly because of human decisions: putting such a large population on a flood plain subject to frequent hurricanes, and then taking inadequate measures to protect those people from the inevitable consequences. It’s the same story as Hurricane Katrina – and if more than a thousand dead in New Orleans twelve years ago didn’t change the way Americans deal with these threats, the current pain in Houston is certainly not going to do so either. Indeed, just a couple of weeks ago President Trump scrapped Obama-era flood standards requiring infrastructure projects to take account of predicted global warming. There was no outcry. Immerse a frog in boiling water, and it will immediately hop out. Put it in cold water and then slowly heat it, and the frog will not notice that it’s being boiled. The evidence is there, but it’s coming in too slowly to get its attention. Climate change is creeping in quietly, making normal weather a bit more extreme each year, and Americans haven’t noticed yet. They get lots of help in maintaining their ignorance, of course. Right-wing “think
tanks” like the Institute of Energy Research, the Heartland Institute and the Competitive Enterprise Institute, financed by the likes of Exxon Mobil and the Koch brothers, have already mobilized to deny any links between the Houston disaster and climate change. “Instead of wasting colossal sums of money on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, much smaller amounts should be spent on improving the infrastructure that protects the Gulf and Atlantic coasts,” said Myron Ebell, director of environmental policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (and formerly the head of Trump’s transition team at the Environmental Protection Agency, tasked with crippling it). But do not despair: this is largely an American phenomenon, and the United States does not bulk as large in the climate equation as it used to. Almost all the other developed countries are taking the threat of large-scale climate change seriously, although they have left it a bit late and they’re still not doing enough. Consider, for example, the Netherlands, which is almost as vulnerable to flooding as Bangladesh: a quarter of the country is below sea level. There is a sentence in the introduction to the annual report of the Delta Programme, which deals with the rising sea levels and other water-related issues that concern the Dutch, that would be quite unthinkable in a US government document even in Barack Obama’s administration. It reads: “The Delta Programme is tasked with ensuring that flood risk management and the freshwater supply will be sustainable and robust by 2050, and that our country will be designed in a manner that enables it to continue to cope resiliently with the greater extremes of climate.” If the United States had started taking the Dutch approach twenty years ago, far less of Houston would be underwater today, but “designing our country”? It’s un-American. The United States will get there eventually, but it will take a far greater disaster than the Houston floods – the loss of Miami, perhaps? – before it ends the ideological wars and starts dealing with the realities of its situation. Meanwhile, the rest of the world will have to cope with climate change without American help. It can probably manage. Even if we can stop the warming before +2 degrees C, however, it’s too late already to prevent major climate change. There will be bigger floods and longer droughts, food shortages and floods of refugees, and countries will have to work hard to limit the damage. Including, eventually, the United States.

Editorial by Chris Malette ‘You in the media, you mainstream media types, you’re all vultures, looking to sensationalize and embellish other people’s suffering to sell newspapers/reach viewers/get listeners/rack up page views.’ You’ve heard it all before – many of you probably recall yourselves saying it or at very least thinking it over the past couple weeks as coverage of Hurricane Harvey played out over repeated broadcast cycles. One area amateur blogger thought it to be akin to pornography. Everyone knows what’s happening in Houston right now. On Saturday (Aug. 26), Hurricane Harvey slammed the Texas …. People have died. Thousands have been left without power… So many of us feel sick watching, impotent, helpless – and yet, we can’t seem to look away. There’s a term for this. Disaster porn. No. It’s not porn. This silly term has been used to describe everything someone wishes to dismiss as being overly exposed – from food to fast cars. What we’ve been seeing and will continue to see whenever there are major disaster stories is this – news. Period. Plain, unvarnished, often raw footage of nature’s fury, a gunman, jihadist, forest fire, floods or blizzards – we’re going to cover it and do it with compassion and empathy, but do it professionally, because coverage of these sorts of events make for a more alert, compassionate, understanding and aware reader, viewer or listener. There’s an excellent overview of the entire matter on the undisputed source for serious journalistic discourse, The Poynter Institute and Poynter.com. It can be found in its entirety here: https://www.poynter.org/news/exploitingsuffering-or-hogging-spotlight-media-slammedcovering-harvey-no-matter-how-they-do In part, it destroys the myth this is somehow “porn” or vulture-like voyeurism, of which some accuse the media in times when major disaster strikes. “The reality is that disaster coverage is among the purest forms of public service journalism. To accuse the media of commercial motivations in Hurricane Harvey coverage is to profoundly misunderstand the business model. Like wars, famines and epidemics, natural disaster coverage is incredibly expensive because of resources that must be mobilized without notice. … “For months, these local newsrooms will spend enormous amounts of money covering this disaster. And they’re not being rewarded with Super Bowl-sized audiences because the market has

spotty electrical service and so many people are displaced,” said Al Tompkins, Poynter’s senior faculty for broadcast. “Nobody in their right mind thinks extended coverage is a money maker…The reason to do this superhuman effort is because it is public service, vital journalism.” And the toll this takes on small newsrooms is immeasurable in physical, psychological and emotional terms. (I know, we bore the brunt of covering the Russell Williams arrest and trial in a small daily newsroom in Belleville when I was editor there). Many recall the encounter last week between a CNN reporter and a mother who escaped the floods to a Houston shelter, only to watch as the mother began berating the reporter for interviewing her at a time like that: … “people are really breaking down, and y’all sitting here with cameras and microphones trying to ask us, ‘What the f--- is wrong with us?’” We, as journalists in smaller centres or large, have all been accosted in similar fashion while doing our jobs. Do we intend to be obstinate and obtrusive? For the vast majority of us, no, not at all. Are pelpe going to see us as uncaring when we are interviewing and photographing people at their most vulnerable, their most wounded? Absolutely. It’s how we conduct ourselves when we’re being called the most vile things because we understand that, in order to get the true feel, emotion and impact of a disaster or tragic story, we’re going to have to be in the thick of it, asking the sometimes difficult questions. None of us wants to be the reporter who has to talk to the mother who has lost a child, the husband who has lost a wife, a family that has lost everything to a fire or tornado, but we do so in order to get the reader the entire story and in most cases, those readers will be the first to respond to the call for help or support for those affected. I recall several years ago when coming back from covering famine relief by the Canadian air force in Somalia in 1992 and later a UN mission in Haiti, donations among local readers to Red Cross and other charities working in both zones spiked when our stories and images were printed. There’s an impact beyond the gasp, the groan or the tear for those who are in the midst of the tragedy. It’s not porn, its not voyeurism, it’s not traipsing over victims’ dignity in order to get a sexy story. It’s news, it’s what we do and it’s important to understand the world in which we live and how it unfolds – often, tragically.

Brighton’s Own
Here’s a typical Brighton volunteer story
BY VIC SCHUKOV
Born in Finland, Paavo Kivisto came to Canada when he was six years old, his family settling in Sudbury. Kivisto eventually earned a degree in Mining Engineering at Queens University in Kingston where he met and married his wife Jan. Following his graduation, the couple moved to Labrador City where Paavo worked at the iron ore mines while Jan worked in the local Salvation Army Hospital.
In 1975, Kivisto landed employment with the Ontario Government as a district mining engineer stationed in Timmins, and then Sudbury. In Toronto, as a public servant he rose to the levels of Deputy Minister of Environment and Deputy Minister of Labour. The Kivistos retired to Brighton in 2008 because they liked the geography, as it balanced distances to family in Toronto and upper state New York (where Jan was born.).

ALL AGES! Street Fair Parade Car Show Children’ss Village Children Kings Of Strength And Much More!
This leads us to Paavo Kivisto’s admirable volunteer experience. In his own words: “I was at a council meeting with the Commodore and Vice-commodore of the yacht club to make a presentation pertaining to the yacht club. “We listened to presentations from people at Gosport who were in tears, asking for help. It was really distressing and I said to the commodore that we should offer to help. He suggest that I speak to Council so I waited until question period and stood up and suggested that Council should approach volunteer groups who could muster up a lot of people in a hurry. “I am a member of the yacht club, the Dragon Boat Club, and used to be a unit leader with Brighton Search and Rescue (Coast Guard Auxiliary.) I said that I was sure that they would be willing to step up. After the meeting, I emailed yacht club members to get some volunteers together. “I copied the president of the Dragon Boat Club and the unit leader of Search and Rescue. They put out memos to their members, and I started getting names from both organizations. The next day, I drove down Queen Street and saw a homeowner dragging stuff out of his basement. I said, ‘Could I help and get some volunteers?’ He agreed, so I called some yacht club friends and we went over there an hour later and helped him out. Continuing down Queen Street, I met resident Scott Macdonald and I asked what we could do to help. “I suggested that I round up some volunteers to run/maintain he pumps through the night. That would involve moving and refueling gas-driven pumps, checking oil levels and keeping the intakes clear. I put the call out for volunteers. “Ted Cook of the Lions Club gave me a bunch of names and so did the Rotary Club and within a few days I had well over 40 volunteers. Such a wonderful community. Even the mayor quietly came out and did some night shifts. I set up people

on two hour rotations, covering 12 hours on night shifts for a month and a half (middle of May till end of June.) One volunteer from the yacht club John Crowe Jr. - suggested converting to electric pumps and putting on (level) floats which would require less attention. So we talked to the fire department and they agreed to purchase some floats and we purchased others. “The shifts between 2 and 6 a.m. were the toughest. Some volunteers were working people coming out and then trying to get back to sleep, all with no expectations of reward. Amazing. “As the water receded, we scaled back our operations and finally shook hands with everyone and said, ‘Job well done, folks.’ “Residents were so appreciative. They all thanked us every time they saw us.” As to the question of, what is your philosophy on life? Kivisto answered without missing a beat: “Life is about people, about caring and helping others.” (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people; victorschukov@gmail.com ).

100 Women looking for charities BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton - A dedicated group of local women is continuing to push to promote positive change. The 100 Women Who Care Brighton chapter is currently gearing up for their third meeting of the year and want the community to know they also want to hear from local charities. “We’d love to help, but I think we all need to know what’s out there and who needs our help,” said Priscilla Courtenay, one of four founding members for the group. Courtenay, Rachel Young, Beverly Young and Keitha Corry started the Brighton-based 100 Women Who Care group earlier this year, with the group’s first meeting taking place in March. In addition to the group’s four yearly meetings, the founding members now also want to help “increase some visibility and awareness for local charities,” explains Beverly. The ladies are calling on charities to share what they do. People are invited to drop off information in the form of pamphlets or brochures, for example and on behalf of charities, which founding members would like to share with the group at upcoming meetings. “We hear a lot about the big national and provincial charities, but we also have some good local charities that need our support,” said Beverly. The ladies started the 100 Women Who Care group with the hopes they could really make a difference for some of the smaller, local charities that are trying to make an impact in the area, whether through helping kids or seniors. People can drop off pamphlets and information at 104 Main St. (the Innovex Finan-

cial Services building) or email admin@100womenbrighton.com. When starting this group, the intent always was to help charities with that “bottom line,” as well as those that are really challenged with very little funding support or income, said Rachel. The founders are also continuing to call on more local women to help them with their vision and goal, which is to make an impact for those who need in most in their community. Current membership is estimated somewhere around 58 women, but the ladies are hopeful to soon reach that 100-member milestone. The group meets next on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at the Evangel Pentecostal Church. Women can start arriving for the meeting around 6:30 p.m. “Imagine the impact that would have for charities with a $5,000 donation, if we had 100 women,” said Beverly.
As a result of the last two meetings, Community Care in Brighton benefited recently with a $2,750 donation. For their first meeting, the group decided on helping kids, with a $2,000 donation to the Beacon Youth Centre. The founders continue to encourage women to bring a friend with them to the meetings. The nominees for the upcoming meeting include Nathan Kelly, who has Hodgkin lymphoma and may require a special chemotherapy drug that could cost as much as $250,000 for eight treatments. The VON Adult Day Program and the Brighton Children’s Centre have also been nominated. How it works: women nominate charities, three are randomly drawn and then they are voted on by the group. Women donate $50 at each meeting, four times a year. Visit 100womenbrighton.com for more information.

14 Brighton Independent - Thursday, September 7, 2017
Brighton – A resident of Stephen Street is again pleading with council to improve the safety of his neighbourhood following the death of a neighbour’s dog. Since the removal of a gate on Applewood Drive, traffic has increased dramatically, Douglas Freeland recently told council. “There is excessive speeding on Applewood and Stephen streets now and a lot of it comes from the industrial area,” he said. “Trucks, pickup trucks, cars, they are definitely speeding and the traffic has definitely increased over the period of the last year.” Freeland told council and the Independent, on Aug. 16, he watched his neighbours’ four-month-old Border collie “struck by a vehicle and instantly killed.” He was shaken and emotional when he spoke to council about the death of his neighbours’ dog. “It wasn’t the drivers’ fault, but he was using the road as a shortcut …” said Freeland, who did stress this driver was not speeding. The dog had darted out onto the road he added. Still he continues to worry about the safety of his neighbourhood. “Vehicles are speeding through our streets and we all feel there is a real safety issue here,” he said. Freeland is pushing council to look at measures to stop the “excessive traffic.” Children and pedestrians also use this area and drivers continue to ignore signs at both ends of the streets and use the residential area as a shortcut, he said. CAO Bill Watson reports this is the first complaint concerning traffic within a year.

Douglas Freeland stands on the corner of Applewood Drive and Loyalist Drive, where signs installed last year state the area is a residential area. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland “ … I don’t think we’ve had any other complaints up until this point,” he said. Previously, there was a gate on Applewood Drive, which residents say sort of served as a barrier between the industrial park and residential area. The gate was removed, but not without a fight from residents, as they feared their neighbourhood would turn into shortcut into the industrial complex. Freeland, representing residents of Stephen Street, Applewood Drive and Catherine Court, came armed with a petition last year with more than 100 signatures and pleaded with council to reinstall the gate. That request was denied. At that time, he said about 98 per cent of area residents had signed the petition. A lack of sidewalks in the area, pedestrian safety, concerns over property values of homes, noise and a heavy traffic volume of trucks were the major concerns for residents. Council followed through on staff’s recommendation to deny the request to reinstate the gate, as Watson explained emergency response concerns and the history behind the installation of the gate. Following the removal of the gate and in an effort to address residents’ concerns last year, Brighton had no truck signs installed on Applewood Drive, just south of Loyalist Drive and on Stephen Street, just east of Prince Edward. A stop sign at the northwest side of the Applewood and Loyalist

intersection was also installed; with the hopes it may help clean up some traffic concerns. Applewood Drive as reported by staff, is a fully opened road allowance and as such, the Highway Traffic Act and other legislation regarding public use of the road are applicable. In other words, it shouldn’t be blocked or gated, say staff. Freeland would like to see traffic monitored and the public made aware of the findings from a traffic study, as well as some solutions put in place by the municipality to “stop the excessive traffic.” With no sidewalks and the traffic, Freeland worries what’s next? In the past, residents have also pushed for sidewalks and speed bumps in the area, as alternative safety measures and with the gate removed. Staff did commit to monitoring traffic and truck volumes last year, saying an analysis would help determine if more work was needed in the area to address traffic concerns. But Freeland says he and other residents were never made aware of any results stemming from a report or study. “I’m not sure to what extent we promised a traffic impact study, we promised to review traffic …” said Watson. The CAO added staff did monitor traffic volumes and speeds. His recollection is the data collected showed no further measures were needed. After listening to council, Watson will be going back to his staff to have the data reviewed and will bring a brief report to council. At least a few councillors, including Brian Ostrander, would also like to hear from staff about a couple options that may help put residents at ease.

Sweet chocolate Lab, Hershey, has a serious job at CFB Trenton BY MARTIN DURKIN
CFB Trenton – Just as the name suggests, Hershey is a beautiful chocolate Labrador and her job in life is to bring some peace comfort to those in need as service dog. Currently a member, once a week, at 424 Transport and Rescue (T&R) Squadron (Sqn.), Hershey is with caretaker Sergeant (Sgt.) Brad Arnold. “She’s been with my family since last May, we’ve been fostering her since about that time,” said Sgt. Arnold. Through the previous Wing Chief Warrant Officer (WCWO) Darcy Elder, Sgt. Arnold was able to bring Hershey into 424 T&R Sqn. and get her acquainted with everyone, knowing that someday the dog might be paired with a single member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). “She could be paired with someone who is still in the military or with someone who is transitioning out, either way I thought she should become familiar with this work environment in case she accompanies a member on base one day,” explained Arnold. Posted through a Facebook group, Arnold’s wife answered the call and the process was started. Now once a week at the local legion, Hershey and Sgt. Arnold go through basic military training as it were, as well as public access at the mall or other public venues preparing the service dog to get used to various surroundings. “I say it’s you that needs the training not the dog, the dog will do whatever you want it to,” said Sgt. Arnold. Believing that people might underestimate a dog’s importance in general, Arnold says seeing them in action is quite remarkable. “She’s my sidekick or I’m hers, I’m not sure,” said Arnold. While the hope is to place her with a member in need around September, she will also be bred so that more dogs can be brought into service down the line. “It’s probably not going to be until after Christmas now, and with those pups they will be looking for foster families,” said Arnold. If another opportunity comes along, Arnold said he and his family would be happy to bring another service dog into their home to

help train before having it paired with a member in need. “If I needed a dog, I would want somebody to be doing what I’m doing and to give back,” said Arnold who believes through the program, the military is giving back to its own with service dogs on base. He said at first you can be worried about being qualified, but when realizing all you are doing is raising a dog and socializing it for a greater purpose; it’s the right thing to do, understanding that you are giving back to a community of women and men who need dogs such as Hershey. “I think it’s very important, and to me I’m proud of what my family has accomplished with this dog,” said Arnold

This Herc likes milk bones BY MAKALA CHAPMAN
CFB Trenton – One of 436 Transport Squadron’s honorary members so happens to be excellent at fetching tissues, opening cupboard doors and is said to be a fan of treats. Meet 17-month-old Hercules the black Labrador retriever, who also so happens to share his name with the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF) CC-130J Hercules aircraft. But “Herc” as he’s known, is more than just an unofficial squadron mascot. He is in fact well on his way to becoming a facility dog says his owner and Hercules, an honorary member of 436 Transport Squadhandler Kelly Briggs. ron, hangs out under the shade of a CC-130J HercuAs the veteran family proles with Sergeant Ed Babineau at 8 Wing Trenton. gram coordinator at the Trenton Makala Chapman/Metroland Military Family Resource Centre, Briggs noted that Hercules plays an important role at her workplace. While he was originally supposed to be trained as service dog for those with post-traumatic stress disorder, she said it soon became apparent that Hercules was needed at the MFRC. “I started fostering him when he was 12 weeks,“ Briggs explained, “but eight months in we realized that he had a huge impact and he’s very sensitive to people.” She added that veterans and children have especially taken a liking to her four-legged friend. “They love him,” she said, noting that everyone who meets Hercules has been an instant fan. “Here (at the MFRC) he has the ability to have an impact on a lot of veterans and families and not just one.” While the youthful pup is still in training to become a full-blown facility dog, he is already capable of so much said Briggs. “He’s so smart so I have to keep his mind going,” she chuckled, adding that Hercules has been trained to retrieve keys, find people, and even put socks away. “It’s about keeping his mind engaged.” Once fully trained, his roles will also include assisting veterans and clients of the MFRC to appointments if they feel they need a little extra support. Since Briggs is Hercules’ handler, she noted she will always have to be present but said that she and Hercules would be happy to help out when needed. Looking back, Briggs said she couldn’t imagine her life without him and said she hopes he brings others as much joy as he has brought her. “Not only does (fostering a dog) have a positive impact on your own family, you can impact someone else and help the dog learn the skills and task necessary to make a veteran’s life a little easier,” she said. “It’s a huge benefit.” But not just any dog can become a working dog like Hercules, said Dominium Assistance Dogs owner and trainer Lisa-Marie Guernon. In fact, a lot of time, effort and money goes into raising a canine to be able to do all the things required of a service or facility dog. For more information, www.dominiumassistancedogs.ca.

Consultants respond to council’s direction for wastewater EA BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Consultants handling Brighton’s environmental assessment for a wastewater plant have responded to a council request for more information, saying members already have enough details “to make an informed decision.” In correspondence from J.L. Richards & Associates Limited, dated Aug. 17, consultants reiterated to council, they’ve identified a solution that addresses current effluent quality problems and have the support of the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC). “J.L. Richards wishes to provide the following information for council regarding the Brighton Wastewater System Class EA, pursuant to our requested attendance at the council meeting, scheduled for Aug. 21, 2017,” wrote civil engineer Steve Saxton. Council had previously asked consultants to explain the process for Brighton to switch to a Schedule C assessment, from a Schedule B assessment. (A Schedule C looks at increasing capacity and things like a new mechanical plant). But consultants report they’ve already identified a “fiscally-responsible and potentially more attractive” option for funding assistance programs. Schedule 'A' undertakings are limited in scale and are anticipated to have a negligible environmental effect while Schedule C undertakings have the potential for significant environmental effects. J.L. Richards’ engineers have visited Brighton council twice in recent months to discuss their recommended solutions to wastewater issues. They’ve suggested Brighton install a specialized
treatment system to complement the existing lagoon, “which currently treats other constituents relatively well.” The primary challenge for Brighton has been ongoing ammonia issues, which the specialized treatment system should address, report consultants. The total estimated cost for proposed solutions and upgrades is about $6.5 million. “It is important to recognize that this figure includes a number of overdue recommended operational and maintenance activities that amount to approximately one-third of this cost,” wrote Saxton. “Implementation of the specialized treatment system alone is estimated to be approximately $4 million.” Consultants also continue to reiterate that the preferred solution is predicted to accommodate growth for the next 20 years, stressing this is a common municipal time frame for this infrastructure. The current system may even allow for growth beyond that time frame, say consultants. Growth calculations and already committed capacity is based on documentation provided by the municipality, through existing planning documents, as well as from Brighton’s planning consultant, the correspondence stated. Further, the official plan document predicts overall growth from 2006 to 2031, at a rate of less than one per cent. “Our growth rates are consistent with this planning perspective,” said Saxton. The specialized system would continue to allow development without additional delay if an expanded facility is explored, it was noted. The implication the specialized system is an “expensive temporary fix” is not valid, when

compared with the $15-$25-million cost for a mechanical plant, Saxton wrote. Consultants share the opinion the facility could be oversized “for much of its life” and could cost $750,000 annually to operate. And without support from the MOECC, J.L. Rich-
ards says soliciting upper-level funding for a mechanical facility would be difficult. Design approvals for the specialized system could reportedly be installed and commissioned in 12-24 months.
Letter to Editor: Signs of election fever? Your Aug. 28 report covering Brighton Council’s debate on the future of the waste water treatment plant (“Province raising concerns with direction of Brighton EA, says mayor”) shows that a bare majority of Council is backsliding into the past and are once again confused about the role of Council. How else to explain the fact that four members insist they know better than professional staff, consultants, and ministry staff ? Many of you readers, like me, will recall only too well that after a disastrous first two years in office, a majority of Council finally accepted that their performance in terms of treatment of staff and confusion over the proper role of Council had brought municipal governance to the point of dysfunction. Recognizing this fact early in 2016 they commissioned Pesce & Asso-
ciates to examine the issue and make a report to Council. The lessons learned from that report and summarized as a recommendation that “Council must make every effort to sincerely embrace their role as stewards of the municipality; not managers of its day to day business” were initially endorsed by Council and until recently some progress had been made in restoring professional staff levels, supporting staff and committing to pursuing long term improvement through strategic planning and community development. However the discussion at recent Council meetings, including the one described in your report, has been more combative especially in terms of criticizing staff recommendations and the performance of Mayor Walas.

The goal, headed in by Mark Macaulay on a cross pass, after a flurry of activity around the net, gave the Orange a 3-2 win over Hellenics, in a thrilling game played in front of dozens of fans, some of whom draped themselves in blankets to stay warm on a chilly August night. Matt Wiggins scored the first two Brighton goals, the first coming on a penalty-kick in the first half. The second was scored at the 20-minute mark of the second half. Cristos Antonopoulos and Joel Porritt scored the
goals for Hellenics. The Orange had advanced to the league final after 1-0 over the Fury on a goal by Keith Couperus. And Hellenics headed into the final, coming of a 5-1 win over Azzurri, in which Porritt scored four times. The Organe victory was thrilling for manager Merv Heffernan, who noted the team won four of the five Division 1 titles, up for grabs this year in Bay of Quinte men’s soccer. The team won the indoor league regular season and playoff and the Outdoor League Tournament. The outdoor league regular-season title was the only title missed. “It was good to see so many players turn out for this final and also good to note that nearly all of our injured (Above) A Hellenics player, Warren Skinkis, attempts to block a penalty kick by Orange’s Keith Couperus, players came out to cheer the lads in the Division 1 final.

Syrian artist a guest for Rednersville Road art tour BY JACK EVANS
Prince Edward County – For its 10th anniversary, 15 artists and artisans along Rednersville Road welcomed an equal number of guest artists over the Labour Day holiday weekend for the Rednersville Road Art Tour. The colourful, sprawling show takes place at 14 locations, from Rossmore to Carrying Place, and it drew hundreds of people under mostly sunny conditions. One of the guest artists added a new dimension to the show. She is Intisar Al Ghanem, a young woman whose family emigrated here from Syria. Born in Damascus, she came here just 10 months ago and her colourful offerings at the Tina Osborne site at number 2145 on the road featured widely varying themes, mostly representative of her native land. Most of the other 14 venues opened spaces for one or more guests, often friends or family. In 2007, a group realized there were a number of artists and artisans along the south shore of the bay and started the annual tour on the Labour Day weekend. It has continued to grow in popularity as a fun outing for many hundreds of area residents and visitors. Venues included paintings in oils, watercolours, acrylics and mixed media, ornamental glass, ceramic animal sculpture and painting, fibre arts and weaving by Marion Casson, jewellery by Tina Osborne, silk painting and mosaics, wood turning, quilting , pottery, beeswax with oil painting on wood, stained glass and more. At some locations extra space was set up outside the studios on lawns and patios as a steady stream of traffic prowled the road. While official hours were 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. some reported visitors as early as 9 a.m. or before. At the Osborne studio, Saturday’s opening was marred by one incident. An elderly woman apparently put her foot on the gas pedal when she intended to use the brake as she was leaving. The car ripped through a fence, into a pasture, striking several other vehicles along the way, then seeking to get back onto the road, crashed head on into another vehicle parked up against the fence. The driver was trapped in the vehicle for a while by the fence until firefighters and paramedics arrived and freed her.
Charities pitch in for sign of good support It was all smiles for the members of four local charities as they stood in front of their new sign designed by Hutchinson Signs of Keene and funded the Community Foundation. The members left to right are: Karen McDonald - Rebekah, Roy Reid - Odd Fellows, Bob Pearce - AMOS, Fred Lee - Lions, and Ross Nicholson Humanitarian Services. Submitted photo

Intisar Al Ghanem displays some of her works as a guest artist at the studio of Tina Osborne. Jack Evans/Metroland No injuries were apparent but the driver was considerably shaken up. For a few minutes, with about half a dozen fire, ambulance and police vehicles all pulling into the driveway, it looked like the busiest venue of the day. Other studio participants were: Iris Casey, wire sculpture, mosaics, garden art; Sue Panko, acrylic painter; Florence Chik-Lau, ceramic animals; Susan Moshynski, pastel and watercolour; Jan and Harvey Tremeer, wood turning, knitting and quilting; Andrea Pyman-Varangu, County landscapes in soft pastels; Ron Sayeau, watercolours and acrylics; Dona Knudsen, watercolours and ink; Danuta Cromwell, oils, acrylics, mixed media; Jeff Keary, painting on silk; Sharon Kennedy, watercolour, acrylic and mixed media; Gwynn Bedford, eclectic acrylics; and Ilona Mayer, multimedia.

Cars were stars at this Labour Day classic BY CHRIS MALETTE
Thurlow – Neighbours in the north Sidney Street neighbourhood where John Foley invites fans of chrome and aspirated engines no doubt have to be patient with the rumble of thunder coming from Foley’s yard. Every Labour Day, Foley, a classic car and boat buff, hosts ‘Foley’s Yard Thunder’ and invites friends and fellow car lovers to come out for food and drink and a lot of chrome and lovingly restored cars and trucks. Friend Ron Smith said this was the third year of the event and “it’s grown every year. “The first year, he had about 23 or so cars,” said Smith who helped Foley prepare for the front and side lawn concourse of classic iron. “Last year there weremore and this year we’re going to be close to 40.” There’s no admission, it’s largely pot luck, but Foley puts on a barbecue for friends and invitees and no one shoos away anyone who pulls over to the side of the road and strolls over for a look at the lovingly-restored vehicles that festoon the lawn. “It’s just all about celebrating the work all these guys have put into their vehicles,” said Foley. “A place where they can relax and show off their cars, meet their friends and enjoy Labour Day.”
There were cars of all eras on the lawn of Thurlow resident John Foley’s home on the north end of Sidney Street Monday for the Third Annual Foley’s Yard Thunder car show and barbecue. See more photos on page 8. Chris Malette/Metroland

Barbershop chorus seeks new director BY JACK EVANS
The Quinte region chapter of the Barbershop Harmony Society, A Cappella Quinte, is seeking a new chorus leader following the unexpected loss of Bloomfield musician Patrick Headley. Headley took over at the first of the year and proved himself a competent and popular leader of the 35-voice choir, including the annual show last spring. Despite hopes for a long and fun relationship, Headley became no longer available because of a new career opportunity which was a “must go” for him to continue to support his family, to a senior full-time teaching position to a private college out of
the area. The chorus has established a search committee and actively seeks applicants for this position, which carries a modest salary and an opportunity to work with a fun group, which has become a major player in the area’s cultural fabric over around 40 years. The chorus practices Tuesday evening in the back hall of Calvary Temple on Dundas Street West, plus a number of public performances at community events in the area and an annual major show in the spring. Those interested can contact Steve Hall, 613-968-4073 or email snedehall@sympatico.ca.
Quinte Ex goes out with a roar amid puddles BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - Following long-established tradition, it seems you can’t have a Quinte Exhibition without at least one or more days of heavy rain. The closing day of the Quinte Exhibition Sunday helped keep the fair’s reputation intact. Rubber boots were the order of the day for many fairgoers and numbers were down, particularly during the early hours of the day, but crowds perked up by mid-afternoon as rain clouds moved out, plus the major attraction of a demolition derby for the grandstand program at 7 p.m. One area not much affected by the weather was inside the Curling Club building where school arts and crafts, domestic skills, baking competition and more held court. A large display and demonstration by Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo in one corner drew a large crowd of children and their parents. The lecturer, Peter Surges, also allowed the children to hold a large tarantula on the palm of their hands and to handle a large, but potentially ornery, snapping turtle and other critters. Given the reduced attendance because of the rain, the Quinte Ex may not have gone out with a bang, but with the demolition derby, it was certainly with a roar.
Peter Surges, with the Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo, shows off a large tarantula during a lecture to a large crowd of children and parents inside the Curling Club building on the last day of the Quinte Exhibition Sunday. The reptile collection and show was one of the more popular attractions at this year’s fair. Jack Evans/Metroland

Guild’s one act plays draw strong support
B & E suspect nabbed after a string of crimes
BY JACK EVANS
BY BILL FREEMAN
Judging from the attendance and generous applause Wednesday, Aug. 30, the Belleville Theatre Guilds annual One Act Play Festival has established itself as a solidly popular event. This year’s presentation covered five short plays, all by writers in the immediate community. The interest in writing for this event drew the comment from Liz Marshall, BTG program director that “ We were overwhelmed by the number of submissions this year. Our area is becoming a hotbed of new writers.” The evening’s program also spans a wealth of new acting and directing talent, although most of the casts, by necessity, were small. The audience roared with laughter at several points as veteran local playwright Peter Paylor’s play called “The Green Thumb Gang” unfolded. Directed by Terry Boyd, the play stars Judie Preece and Kathryn Dalmer as two elderly women apparently caught red-handed in an apartment break-in, but arguing that they were only trying to water the plants and feed the cat. Marvin Tucker plays the frustrated apartment owner and Jamie Hosking, the detective. Garry Kirsch of Tweed, penned the crime drama, “Unbecoming,” directed by Enno Busse. Brief and intense, the story is of two police detectives working on a gruesome case by a serial psychopathic killer. A chance for young actors to show their stuff was offered in “Summer on the Bench,” by Sarah Harren, about a young teenager infatuated with a boy to whom she had loaned a pencil. Making her directing debut for this was Maija Thompson. The cast was Logan Ramsay, Fiona Dodsworth, Alex Pordham (still a youth and already with several BTG shows under his belt) and Dylan Kemp. Another new writer is Keith Taylor of Picton, whose play, “Therapy” involves several mental patients and a doctor. Lisa Morris, director, described her cast as “the perfect combination of playwright, actors and director. I can’t wait to do it again.” The cast is a rebellious Sydnee
Asphodel-Norwood– A 38-year-old Peterborough man was arrested by police Thursday (Aug. 31) morning after a string of reported break-ins along County Road 2 and the Third Line of Asphodel. Peterborough County OPP officers were called to the area shortly before 10:30 a.m. to investigate the break-ins and identified a suspect using home surveillance video from one of the residences. The officers

Wilson as Sheila, a new participant in the sessions, Sylvia Wan, Kirsten Skltodt, Brad Kassier and Bryan Coates. Another surprise ending, and some great acting. Finally, seasoned actor Colin Leonard owned the stage as the key character in “A Kiss To Build a Dream On.” On their 50th wedding anniversary, a couple share their reflections on their lives with the owner of their favourite café. Colin’s wife, Nora, was played by Victoria Farrell and Katie, the café owner by Sara
Hadley. Poignant and witty, this was a first effort by Penny Barker of Belleville and to keep it in the family, the director was her daughter, Heather Barker, a BTG regular. Notables in the opening night audience included Lesley Bonisteel from the Old Church Theatre and Caroline Smith, founder and long-time operator of the Stirling Festival Theatre. The guild’s regular season opens Oct. 12 with the American classic, “Our Town,”by Thornton Wilder, directed by Ian Feltham.
located the suspect after a stolen ATV he was riding ran out of fuel and he attempted to hide in a garage. Lucas Albert Nehrling, 38, of Peterborough was charged with three counts of break, enter and theft under $5,000, possession of break-in tools, wearing a disguise while committing an indictable offence, theft over $5,000 (ATV), resisting a police officer and two counts of failing to comply with recognizance.
ONE CHILD with cancer is one
TOO MANY
The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recognizes that one child with cancer is one too many. The toll that cancer can take on children and their families is significant. That’s why, at CCS, we continue to invest in Canada’s best childhood cancer research, and we’re Canada’s largest national charitable funder of childhood cancer research. Thanks to our generous donors, over the past 15 years we have funded over $50 million in childhood cancer research, supporting more than 170 projects. Here are two examples of research conducted by leading scientists who have received funding from CCS. Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults, and it can also affect children. Some people begin with less aggressive diseases called myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and later develop AML. By studying abnormal blood stem cells, Dr Mick
Bhatia and his team at McMaster University developed a new way of predicting who will progress from MDS toAML,which could help guide treatment to fend off this aggressive cancer. With further research, this could lead to personalized risk predictions and treatment options for children with MDS to fend off AML. Dr Cynthia Hawkins and her team are searching for better ways to diagnose and treat childhood cancers of the central nervous system (CNS) – the brain and spinal cord. Dr Hawkins met with international experts to update the World Health Organization’s classification system for CNS tumours. Based on her research, an entirely new diagnostic category was created, which is changing tumour testing around the world. Help us continue to fund Canada’s best cancer research.

What makes this all the more phenomenal is that the Green Bay Packers are the only community- owned NFL team (no billionaire EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO owner here) – and the team plays in the league’s smallest market/city.

Jim Taylor. There was, of course, a special tribute to longtime coach Vince Lombardi, who stated “There is only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything.” Several of his famous ‘words of wisdom’ are posted on these walls. There was also a replica of Curly Lambeau’s office, with his desk, and a reminder of the “Lambeau Leap” (an aftertouchdown tradition here since 1993). There was a detailed description of the famous “Ice Bowl” of 1967, won by the Packers over the Cowboys (when it was so cold that the officials couldn’t use the metal whistles, for they would stick to their lips!). Then I entered the trophy room and was surrounded by the ‘World Champions’ trophies (13 of them) and the 4 ‘Super Bowls’. In addition to my exploration of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, I, of course, toured the Lambeau Field Stadium, too (where more than 80,000 boisterous fans attend every home game!). I walked through the wide, welcoming tunnel that leads from the home team’s dressing room out onto the field, while a recording of the roaring fans could be heard over a
loudspeaker. However, once we emerged from the tunnel, the field itself was ‘off limits’. This is considered ‘sacred ground’ and it’s only to be looked at, not walked upon. As we walked about on the sidelines, though, we could see the opposing team’s entrance tunnel – and it was much smaller, narrower. It was as if ‘the enemy’ was emerging into a hostile, intimidating environment! Our tour guide told us that he was one of about 60 retired people who led these stadium tours. They’re very popular! I was also told that if it snowed just prior to a home game, up to 500 volunteers would appear to help clear the snow from the stands (and many actually applauded the lack of a dome, for they preferred playing ‘real football’, exposed to the elements!). On game day, there’d be a sea of green and gold (their colours) and a plethora of cheeseheads in the stands. I was also told that about 20,000 pounds of cheese curds would be sold and consumed there per game!

Take It Outside
Hi! Carson here: New columnist on the block
to start our relationship is with a little honesty. While I love plants and specifically moved to a farm to have more space for the gardens, I’m not actually a gardener. I’m a landscape designer. Landscaping is more than just the plants; it includes all of the components of outdoor design, including creating those amazing outdoor rooms that are the hottest trend right now. As a representative for HGTV Canada, Better Homes and Gardens and Cityline, I travel all across North America helping homeowners define their outdoor spaces. However, BY CARSON ARTHUR when I walk into a yard for the As this is my inaugural ar- first time, I look at the space ticle, I think the best way for us very differently than some of
my industry colleagues. I don’t design based on where the roses, or the hydrangeas, or the boxwoods will go. Instead, I start with creating useable space. I make decks, patios, seating areas work for homeowners. I love creating areas that are all about outdoor living and while plants are still part of the picture; I work to blend them with the outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas and patios so that the entire outdoor space reads as one cohesive area. With all of the new studies and information about how the outdoors impact home value; landscaping has now joined kitchens and bathrooms at the top of the renovation list when it comes to making a return on
investment. There will always be good and bad choices when it comes to home renovations. For 90 percent of Canadians, our homes are our largest assets. I want to help you enjoy your property and then make the most for it when it comes time to sell, because even if you are not selling today, tomorrow or in 15 years ... who wants to sell their home for less money then it is actually worth? As I travel back and forth across the country, I will bring you a close up of what others are doing in their own spaces and what the provincial trends are. (And yes, the grass does seem a little greener in Victoria.) As we get to know each
other, you’re going to see that I have lots of opinions. I will try and blend the good with the bad and be as charming as possible with my tongue firmly in my cheek. I will also make sure that a keep healthy dose of common sense in all of my content. I want to make greener choices in my life and will help you do the same as we work towards making your outdoor space beautiful. I am going to share some amazing before and after photos of my best makeovers and I have lots of DIY projects for you to try. I’m even going to let you in on my own personal failures. We’re going to discuss furniture, privacy, and even plants and how everything impacts you and your
home. I am always open for your questions too. In fact, I will even include some of them in my upcoming articles. If you ever have an issue or need some help, you can always reach me through social media or feel free to call into my radio program on 800CJBQ on Saturdays at 12:30. I firmly believe that there are no bad questions. Odds are, if you are thinking it, so is someone else! So even though I may be the new kid on the block, I’m going to be your personal outdoor expert; helping you make the most of your front and backyards and one day you can invite me over for a barbeque in your amazing new space.
Overdose prevention program marks one year of service Hastings Prince Edward Public Health celebrated one year of the Lifesaver Program on Aug. 31. This drug overdose prevention program was launched last year on August 31, which is International Overdose Awareness day. Since the program’s launch, 188 Lifesaver kits have been distributed to service users, family members and friends, and 19 kits have been refilled. Over the last year, HPEPH has provided over 600 hours of education on overdose prevention to local community partners. The Lifesaver program is a community-based Naloxone distribution program aimed at reducing avoidable deaths from opioid overdose. It is offered to individuals currently taking opioids, or those who have taken opioids in the past. Naloxone is an effective antidote for opioid overdoses, and works by temporarily reversing the effects of opioids in the brain and restoring normal breathing in the unconscious person. The Lifesaver Program involves training people to recognize the signs of overdose and to use Naloxone to save lives. Par-
ticipants are provided with a Lifesaver kit that contains all the supplies necessary to administer Naloxone in the event of an overdose. A key component of the program involves ensuring that participants understand the importance of calling 911 as soon as they suspect an opioid overdose, to initi-
ate emergency response and support. Opioid overdose can slow or stop breathing, slow heart rate and blood pressure, reduce body temperature, and cause the victim to be unresponsive. Affected persons may also experience a seizure or a heart attack. Opioids are found in both illegal and prescription drugs.

Aging population a challenge for county BY JACK EVANS
If Hastings County is going to address the needs of an aging population, it must move to support small pods of affordable housing for seniors from Centre to North Hastings. A summer intern for Hastings County, Meredith Stevenley-Watson, drew high praise from council councillors for her report on needs for special assisted living space by county seniors. She made her presentation to council Thursday, Aug. 31. Stevenley-Watson reported data she had collected on the needs from county and other statistics, plus interviews with senior citizens, particularly those on lower income. She also said she visited several types of suitable accommodations, particularly one in nearby Apsley. The needs for care workers should involve more than a mere one hour per day, as set by the Local Health Initiatives Network (LHIN), she argued, and creating clusters of specialized residential units would best solve that problem. Stevenley-Watson’s key recommendations were for small units designed for rent geared to income seniors in places such as Bancroft, Tweed, and Madoc, with a large complex of apartment type units built on county-owned property behind Hastings Manor. Proximity to downtown centres is a key factor, she stressed. Such units should also allow married seniors to share the same space or at least the same building. The latter point drew strong support from one reeve who cited a case of a married couple in their 90s living in two different facilities and pining to

be together. Several council members reported knowledge of similar cases and reinforced the report on the need. “People are banging on our doors all the time for assisted living space for seniors,” said Mayor Tom Deline of Centre Hastings. Bancroft acting Mayor Jim Jenkins reported similar experiences. Deline suggested such spaces would obviate the
need for personal care workers to drive all over the county to serve clients and thus save the province money. CAO Jim Pine said the report would need further details which staff would be pleased to provide and council should act to start implementing such ideas, with or without help from senior governments. No further action was taken at the meeting.
Hastings County supports sales tax hike for infrastructure BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - There was some hesitancy by a couple of members, but Hastings County Council members were in agreement that infrastructure must take priority. Chief administrative officer Jim Pine reminded that in Eastern Ontario alone, “infrastructure is falling behind more than $135 million dollars every year. We all know infrastructure gets a year older every year and we cannot keep raising taxes at the rate of eight to 10 per cent a year to maintain buildings and roads properly.” He urged council to support the position of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) in its call for the province to increase the sales tax by one per cent and earmark the proceeds for an apportionment to each municipality. Even at that, there wold be five provinces with sales tax rates higher than Ontario, Pine said, recalling that

at one time the rate was 14 per cent. The funds would be ongoing and something councils could budget on year by year. “Even that amount won’t fully cover the increase annually of infrastructure upkeep,” he said. Current programs result in municipalities competing with each other to get a share of funds available and other measures cannot be relied on. Council also recognized the AMO’s position on strengthening Eastern Ontario through additional senior government support. Charts showed that costs for one kilometre of road are the same whether in an urban area or the country yet that cost must be born by five households in the country, while in an urban area it is 25 households. Municipalities also own two thirds of the region’s roads and the infrastructure deficit now stands at $4.6 billion and continues to grow. Council strongly endorsed Pine’s recommendations.

appreciate the benefits they brought? As an immigrant the shoe, some would say boot, is on the other foot. Not a good feeling remains with me with regard to the treatment of the First Nations. I like to think that the first settlers’ intentions were for the best but know that was not so in many cases. Residential Schools are a major issue. I was introduced to them through reading a history of one situated in TheLand-of-the-Lakes written, of course, by ‘The Victor’. I remember thinking, as I am sure the founders of the school did and intended, this was the ideal method of integration, not realizing it left the pupil between two cultures In some ways I still think this. To sit on an ice field and watch Miami Vice from your GPS equipped Skidoo
does not seem to me the ideal way to integrate those young people in the realities of the, like it or not, modern world. The founders of the schools must be truly horrified at the subsequent treatment of the pupils, as indeed we all are, but that does not negate their true intentions. I also wonder at the ‘saintliness’ of the instigators of this nonsense. Many people regarded themselves as ‘more-equal-than-others’ and were not too reluctant to demonstrate the fact: until they became the vanquished, are they happy with their history? I can only conclude with my observation that there are far more worrying issues in this unfortunate World that should concern us, John Morralee Belleville

Dear Editor, Is it possible to state that the wish to rename schools and pull down statues is nonsense and not offend someone? I suspect not: so to them I apologize. But it is nonsense. An attempt to rewrite history as if there were no victors or vanquished is doomed to failure and to cause even more dissension. As an Immigrant from England I belong to a race, which is both victor and vanquished. If I am overly sensitive I have some serious issues with the Romans, the Danes, the Vikings and William the Conqueror, who chased my first ancestors (whom I am sure were not all saints) off their bit of turf. But I accept that ‘To the Victor the Spoils’ and they also get to write the history books! Is any harm done to accept that fact, live with it, and
