B urglary-Res

Burglaries can be resisted by laminated glass because it is difficult to gain access or remove property, even if a puncture is made in the interlayer. When impacted, laminated glass typically breaks safely and remains an integral part of the opening. The plastic interlayer minimizes splinters and glass fragments, reducing the risk of injury or property damage. This is also particularly important during natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. Please call or visit clerawindows.com for more details.

News - Brighton - A letter from municipal lawyers, Templeton Menninga, presented at Monday’s municipal council meeting confirmed Mayor Mark Walas lied when he insisted he received no documents two years ago during an effort to fire CAO Gayle Frost. The letter, dated September 6, was moved into the open session agenda and included correspondence along with termination documents sent to Walas between August and October 2011. After the council decision to make the letter public, Walas read a prepared statement and excused himself from the proceedings. “I believe, it would be inappropriate for any further discussion on any items of a confidential nature and a legal matter which are going before the integrity commissioner as approved by this council at the last meeting,” he said, in part. “Further frivolous public discussions on very serious topics will not be tolerated and are highly unprofessional. “I, for one, will be fully co-operating with the integrity commissioner to ensure they are advised of everything that I have knowledge of. I notified the integrity commissioner of my participation today by email. “I will not participate in any further discussions on this matter with members of council, this evening or in the future.” “This letter and

The lot is owned by Walas, who denies any involvement in the act. “It is amply clear this was a retaliatory move by Mayor Walas,” said Kerr. “The final legal bills would have been extensive, and all of this unnecessary expense would have been because Mayor Walas disliked the CAO and was prepared to incur substantial cost and public funds in order to secure her dismissal.” “Unfortunately, under legislation that exists in Ontario, council has no recourse to deal with these matters any further,” said Kerr. “We are left with the power of the integrity commissioner as the only possible remedy.” “It’s time to move on,” offered Councillor Tom Rittwage. “There’s not a lot we can do.” Council approved receiving the correspondence and forwarding it to the integrity commissioner.

associated documents from Templeton Menninga shows very, very clearly that all of the email correspondence was conducted from the personal email address of Mayor Walas,” said Deputy-mayor Craig Kerr, who acted as chairperson for that part of the meeting. “And he was representing himself as acting on behalf of the municipality. This latest Templeton correspondence proves beyond any doubt Mayor Walas was, in fact, provided with extensive documentation on this matter and he has denied repeatedly he received such documents and refused to provide any documents he did receive. By refusing to release the documents he has effectively destroyed municipal documents, which is a contravention under legislation. “The advice of our solicitor makes it amply clear that the contemplated termination of our CAO was without cause,” added Kerr, who contends the action started the day after an illegal tree cutting incident was brought to council’s attention after 14 trees, some about 50 years old and all reportedly healthy, were felled at the

home, but they also understood that freedom is never free,” she said. “It comes with a cost, and sometimes it costs everything so the next generation can continue to enjoy that freedom.” Mylod, now 92, says, “I was one of the lucky ones, I had a good life.” “It was shortly after the Battle of Britain, I met my bride,” he added, with a grin.

Brighton council nixes the Hip By Ray Yurkowski

News - Brighton - It turns out the rock band Tragically Hip won’t be appearing in Brighton after all. Rumours started to fly when Monday night’s municipal council meeting agenda revealed plans for the Applefest 40th anniversary celebrations, to be held next year, included “a main headliner band for one evening, and a local band and fireworks for a second evening.” Further, the Applefest committee approved a request to ask municipal council to consider a loan of $250,000 for the

down payment. “The Tragically Hip does attract a fairly big crowd,” said Councillor John Martinello, who made the recommendation at the committee meeting. “And I think there would be a lot of collateral benefit to bringing them in. We are confident this will be a success and the expenses will be recouped.” “I understand and appreciate what the Applefest committee is trying to do,” said Councillor Tom Rittwage. “But I cannot support a half million dollars for a band. It’s a lot of money and I just can’t do it.”

“I cannot commit taxpayer dollars to this event knowing the risks that are involved,” added Councillor Mike Vandertoorn. There was some concern from a couple of local camps. Representatives from Brighton Speedway and the local minor hockey association voiced their opposition to the plan. The Speedway already promotes feature events on Applefest weekend and minor hockey runs a fund-raiser dance, which goes a long way to offsetting the cost of playing the game for Brighton kids.

On September 22, ride through Northumberland’s picturesque countryside and support the United Way!

“The message to the committee is, perhaps this is a little more ambitious than we anticipated,” offered Mayor Mark Walas. “Continue to aim high, but at a lower dollar value,” added Rittwage. The final word went to municipal economic development manager Elisha Purchase. “It was unfortunate we

weren’t asked to bring a report to this meeting,” she said. “Based on the numbers we have received, I think it would be financially irresponsible to commit those kinds of funds to this specific event. Five hundred thousand dollars is the cost we received through a local promoter, who informally provided us with the information and said, ‘it’s not going to

be doable,’ and this is someone who does this for a living.” “There are a lot of reasons I don’t see this as being feasible,” added Purchase. “I don’t think the municipality is in the business of putting on this kind of a show, that’s the job of the promoter.” In a recorded vote, council unanimously defeated the proposal.

Human foot found at Presqu’ile Park The shoe was located on the north shore of the island and is described as a high-end Mizuno left shoe: grey, black and pink in colour. Northumberland OPP Marine Unit and Crime Unit, Central Region Emergency Response Team (ERT) and OPP Forensic Identification Services Peterborough Unit were all at the scene on September 11 and 12.

OPINION Rape is an African Problem Editorial - Last May, with considerable trepidation, I wrote an article about what seemed to be extraordinarily high rates of rape in Africa. The original data came from a study by South Africa’s Medical Research Council in 2009 which found that more than a quarter of South African men—27.6 per cent— admitted that they had committed rape. Almost half of those men had raped two or three women or girls. One in 13 had raped at least ten victims. Over the next couple of years, I ran across a couple of other less detailed studies suggesting that the problem was not just South African. A report from the eastern Congo in 2012 said that over a third of the men interviewed—34 per cent—had committed rape, and an older report from Tanzania found that 20 per cent of the women interviewed said they had been raped (although only one-tenth as many rapes were reported to the police). So I wrote a piece called “An African Iceberg” in which I said that this was a phenomenon that needed urgent investigation continent-wide; but it did occur to me to wonder if there were similar icebergs in other developing countries. The only figures that were available for developing countries elsewhere were official ones, and those normally only record the number of women who tell the police they have been raped. Most don’t. Women are reluctant to report rape in any society, and in traditional societies much more so. The South African study was the only one that had adopted the strategy of asking men directly. Maybe if the same sort of study were done in other continents, I thought, it would return equally horrifying figures. And lo! Somebody else had the same thought, and the resources to do something about it. The new report, conducted under the auspices of four United Nations agencies co-operating as “Partners for Prevention,” was published last week in the online version of The Lancet Global Health, a respected British medical journal. The study was undertaken quite specifically to learn if the South African figures were duplicated in developing countries outside Africa. The researchers chose six countries in the AsiaPacific region: China, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. As in the South African study, the word “rape” was not used in the questionnaire.

Gwynne Dyer

The 10,178 men interviewed were asked if they had ever “forced a woman who was not your wife or girlfriend at the time to have sex” or “had sex with a woman who was too drunk or drugged to indicate whether she wanted it.” There were further questions about forcing a wife or girlfriend to have sex (which is also rape), about gang rape, and about raping males, but for simplicity’s sake let us stick with the questions about what the researchers called “single perpetrator rape” of a woman who was neither wife nor girlfriend. The answers varied from country to country, but the overall picture was clear. Africa (or at least South Africa) is all alone out there. In most of the Asian countries involved in the study, between two and four per cent of the men interviewed said that they had raped a “non-partner” woman. That falls into the same range that prevails, one suspects, in most developed countries (although their reported cases of rape are much lower). There were some local peculiarities, like the fact that in rural Bangladesh men are more likely to get raped than women. China came in surprisingly high, with six per cent of the men interviewed admitting to rape, but that may be related to the growing surplus of males in a society where the gender ratio has become very skewed: there are 99 large Chinese cities where more than125 boys are born for every 100 girls. But Papua New Guinea was right up there with South Africa: 26.6 per cent of the men interviewed had committed “single perpetrator rape” of a non-partner woman. And the other numbers were just as startling: 14 per cent of PNG men had participated in a gang rape, and 7.7 per cent had raped a man or boy. So Asia as a whole is quite different from Africa on this count—but PNG is practically identical. What is so special about Papua New Guinea? It is a country with an extravagantly large number of different tribes and languages. It is an extremely violent country, where most people live in extreme poverty. It is a place where the law is enforced only sporadically, and often corruptly. And it is a place where traditional tribal values, patriarchal to the core, reign virtually unchallenged among a large part of the population. Remind you of anywhere? Well, you already suspected that this was at the root of it, didn’t you? You just didn’t want to say so, for fear of being accused of being racist, anti-African or something of that sort. But it does need to be said, loudly and repeatedly. Women and girls are more likely to be the victims of sexual violence in Africa than almost anywhere else, and the only way to change that is to change the behaviour of African men. By persuasion if possible, but also by enforcing the law.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Retriever now has bragging rights Dear Editor, As a senior citizen who has supported blood drives my whole adult life and who, because of a blood disorder, is now reliant on the random acts of others to maintain a reasonable lifestyle, I was surprised, when I got the call from our local veterinarian’s office asking if I would consider having my six-year-old golden retriever participate in their blood drive. I immediately agreed and was impressed by how easily he accepted the needle and the “motherly” attention of the three female assistants. He left with a scroll and a red kerchief around his neck and

the attitude that he had just won gold at the Olympics. Many of my friends, family and former business colleagues have opted to live in larger urban centres and have, at times, made snide remarks about my decision to settle in a small town in rural Ontario. Over the past three weeks I have spoken to many of them—most are dog owners. None have ever heard of a canine blood bank; all were impressed. Thank you Norwood veterinary services for giving an old rooster something to crow about. Bill Brown R.R. 1, Norwood

Having second thoughts about probes’ mission By John Campbell Editorial - Voyager 1 has reached a milestone like no other. NASA confirmed last Thursday that its probe had left the solar system and entered interstellar space, 11.6 billion miles from Earth. Even more impressive when you say 18.7 billion kilometres. That won’t sound like a lot to Star Trek fans, however. They’ll sniff Voyager 1 has travelled much, MUCH less than .0001 per cent of a parsec (3.2 light years for those who slept through science class). Ignore them, because what Voyager 1 has accomplished was done without so much as a dilithium crystal or a Captain Kirk at the helm. Just some old-fashioned plutonium and computing power that would make an iPhone user cringe. So it’s a big deal, really, and all it took was 36 years for the probe to leave our neck of the universe—without any washroom stops or spacefarers whining “Are we there yet?” Where is “there” exactly? Where no manmade object has gone before, of course. Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2—a bit of a laggard that’s not expected to leave the solar system for another three years—have been sending back a lot of interesting data—well, interesting to scientists—about things like the sun’s magnetic field, solar wind, and the “heliopause boundary.” But here’s the interesting part for the average person who has either forgotten or never knew what the two Voyagers are carrying: Golden Records, a means to “communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials,” NASA said. On them are greetings, in 55 languages, as well as a collection of sights and sounds of life here on Earth, including music by Chuck Berry and Louis Armstrong, and those heart throbs from an earlier age, Beethoven and Mozart. There’s also surf and wind and humptyback whales. Something for every alien. Carl Sagan, the late astronomer who headed the team that selected what to put on the records to reflect mankind’s diversity, compared it to launching a bottle “into the cosmic ocean [which] says something very hopeful on this planet.” Earl Willard probably was hopeful when he put a message inside a bottle and tossed it from a steamship 76 hours after he left San Francisco headed for Bellingham, Washington, back in September, 1906. Last week—107 years later—Steve Thurber found the bottle while walking along a beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island. If the note inside the bottle is determined to be authentic, it would be the oldest ever recovered, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. “The chances of even finding it are

amazing,” Thurber said. Yep, so imagine what the odds are of extraterrestrials coming across Voyagers 1 and 2 with their Golden Records. Now putting a message in a bottle normally would seem to be a rather benign exercise (apart from the environmental burden placed on the oceans if done to the extreme). It could even prove life-saving if novels and cartoon gags have any credibility, about marooned individuals being rescued by means of a highly irregular marine postal service. But, in hindsight, was putting a message in a space probe such a good idea? Letting other worlds know that a planet of beings exists with pretty primitive technology might be interpreted as easy pickins by the notoriously predatory inhabitants of the Alpha Centauri system. Now you and I aren’t likely to be around when visitors from the far side of the moon come calling one day, looking for Chuck Berry’s autograph, or worse, but there’s the grandkids to think of. And their grandkids. Don’t be so quick to dismiss such conjecture as mere foolishness. It might not be as far-fetched as you think. Look at history. There are often huge gaps in our understanding of what actually took place. Who’s to say this never happened: “Son, what are you doing with that stomach from a bear?” “I’m making a container to hold samples from my collection of favourite possessions, father.” “Why would you do that, son?” “Once it is filled, I will seal it and toss it on the River of No Return to be carried down to the Great Sea.” “Again, son, tell me, why would you do that?” “To let others far, far away know of our great nation and to grow our understanding of Mother Earth.” “Son, your thought is noble. But no other people live beyond the big water. It has been that way forever. All who live, live on this land, of thick forests and sweeping plain, rocky shore and majestic mountain, no other. You are wasting your time.” “I disagree, father. But if you are right then I must learn this truth for myself.” “Have it your way, then. But if there are people beyond the far horizon, do you really think they will be interested in a few yellow nuggets, a beaver pelt, oak carvings and tobacco?” “I cannot say. But if they like what they find, they might decide to visit us. Where’s the harm?” Oooh boy. Two words for NASA and its Voyagers 1 and 2, and be quick about it: Abort mission!

Australians remember their fallen in Trenton cemetery By Kate Everson

News - Trenton - Saint George’s Cemetery on 2nd Dug Hill Road is home to the British Commonwealth War Graves Commission area where 13 veterans of the past wars are resting. “We maintain this area at a very high standard,” said board chair Gerry Quick. The gravestones were featured along with the rest of the cemetery as part of Doors Open Quinte West on September 14 and a special memorial was held with representatives from 8 Wing, 413 Wing and the Legion Branch 110 as well as St.

George’s Anglican Church. See the war graves area along with a tribute to the RCAF at <www.acqw.ca/ album1_017.htm>. Wing Commander Russell Page, Australian Defence Advisor currently stationed in Ottawa for three years, attended the memorial at the cemetery with his wife Lisa on Saturday morning; Wing Commander Page was in full dress uniform. He brought two small Australian flags which he placed at the two gravesites of the Australian pilots who died as part of the British air-training program during

Major (retired) Noel Funge who is on the cemetery board and happens to be from Australia, also attended in full uniform. Art Darnbrough, president of 413 AFAC and Red MacLean president of Legion Branch 110 laid a wreath at the cenotaph. Wing Commander Russell Page is from Perth, Australia. He noted that two Australians Pilot Officer Ross and Flight Lieutenant Everett died here during training in 1943 with the Commonwealth Air Training Program. “Aviation was new then,” Page noted. “World War Two was when air power became dominant.” He said Australia was heavily involved in World War II as they were part of the British Empire and also fought in Asia. “Australia was also bombed,” he said. St. George’s Cemetery was one of the spots on Doors Open Quinte West. Built in 1845 it was located behind the church in Trenton until the 1880s. Over the years many improvements were made including new gates and fencing. A monument to the airmen who died while training with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan was dedicated in October 2002. Military markers mark their graves and flags fly in memory.

News - Brighton - A member of the 100 Brighton Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps received the gold award for best cadet at the Basic Expedition Course at Blackdown Cadet Training Centre in Borden this summer. Christian Blom, 15, earned the gold medallion for having demonstrated an above average level of teamwork, initiative and commitment during the entire stay (July 7 until 27), the training centre said in a news release sent out last week. Blom arrived at Blackdown “energized to train and learn expedition skills,” Company Commander Captain Frances Ogilvie said. “He regularly used his initiative to assist others with their training and demonstrated natural leadership traits.” Another local cadet, Jessika Hardy, earned a bronze award at the same course. Ogilvie said she “radiated energy that was contagious to all other members within her platoon and within the company of 98 cadets. She was always willing to assist with their training and applied all expedition skills that were taught immediately.” The aim of the Basic Expedition Course is to develop a specialist with the skills and knowledge required to participate in a five-day expedition. Ogilvie said, “It was a privilege to train alongside Cadet Blom,” who has a clear understanding of what it takes to set up a campsite. “It was a great experience,” and winning the gold medallion “was pretty good,” said the Grade 10 East Northumberland Secondary School student. Blom said the course included two

expeditions of hiking, biking and canoeing, one for three days that covered 20 kilometres and another for five days that spanned 120 kilometres. Next year he hopes to participate in the leadership and challenge expedition course in the Rocky Mountains. This is Blom’s fourth year in the 100 Brighton Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps he joined when he was 11 and “looking for a new opportunity.” It was his mother who suggested, “it might be a good idea to try” the cadet program. “It’s something that interests me a lot,” Blom said. “I really like the training … the fitness part … the exercises and the camping.” He also enjoys “leading people.” His ambition is to go into the infantry after graduating from high school and become an officer. “He’s a really good cadet,” who’s smart, good in school, quiet, and mature, said the cadet corps’ commanding officer, Captain Duane Bannerman. The cadet program “gives you a lot of training that kids are not getting in society in general—self-discipline, leadership, citizenship,” Bannerman said. It’s a well-run, well-funded program with good leaders and “great opportunities for kids who want to do something in the summer and a little bit extra during the year.” Training nights are Mondays from 6 to 9 p.m. at ENSS. There are currently about 40 cadets with room for more. To join, young people ages 12 to 19 can sign up when accompanied by their parents in possession of a health card and birth certificate. They’ll get to do “a lot of outdoor stuff” along with traditional cadet ac-

News - Trenton - Eighteen teams contributed to the success of the second annual 424 Squadron Herc Pull at 8 Wing Trenton Monday. Seventeen of the teams actually pulled the Herc, including three civilian teams, and the 18th was the team from 424 Squadron which helped organize and run a Herc Pull that for the first time in its short life featured civilian teams. The event had come a long way in just one year. The previous year, teams had to be combined at the last minute because it turned out it took more team members to pull the Herc than originally anticipated, so seven teams ultimately competed that first year and raised just over $1,800. The fastest pull in 2012 was just over 26 seconds. In 2013, 17 teams pulled the Herc and few were slower than 26 seconds while many improved the time until the final Corrections Canada pull, which resulted in a pull of 19.96 seconds and a new pull record. The team from Corrections Canada proved experience is not necessarily required to win this event. “Some of us had done variations of this pull – fire trucks for example—but never a Hercules,” said Mike Decastris of the Corrections Canada team. Asked if they would come back to defend their title next year, Decastris smiled and said, “Definitely!” It’s exactly the response event organizer Corporal Leslie Blair wants to hear. Nineteen teams had initially been registered, but two dropped out at the last minute, possibly because the event was on a Monday. Corporal Blair said she and her team were happy with the results this year— 17 teams raising over $3,000—but that they hoped to do even better next year. “We hope to open it up even more to

But the girls rugby teams will have to play its home games at Quinte West. “It’s been one long journey,” Larry said, but when the end is finally reached, the school “is going to have a really top-notch facility. It’s just taking longer than any of us ever could have anticipated.” The first meeting that set the project in motion took place five years ago this month, he said. “At the time we figured [it would be finished] in three years.”

The winner will receive a gift basket and have the story featured in the Brighton Independent on October 24.

News - Brighton - The finish line for completion of the new track at East Northumberland Secondary School keeps getting pushed back but staff and students are taking it in stride. ENSS physical education director Tim Larry said it’s been “pretty frustrating … hoping and waiting for this whole project to be completed” but he’s thankful for the “support shown by senior administration and the board” while the work has dragged on. The $1-million project started out with great promise last year when there was every reason to believe it would get done on schedule but then Terratechnik Environmental Ltd. went bankrupt and defaulted on its commitment last spring. A bonding company stepped in and hired Gateman Milloy Inc. as the new general contractor, and Larry expressed hope in mid-summer that the track would be ready for use by the end of September. But another holdup occurred when the bonding company had to be convinced “a significant amount of work” originally performed by Terratechnik had “to be redone” by Gateman Milloy, he said. “They are currently taking out the underground drainage system that was

Red Stone Clothing Company offers casual wear in Brighton By Ray Yurkowski

Business - Brighton - The opening of Red Stone Clothing Company at Prince Edward Square is not only a new retail arrival for Brighton, but also a change in direction for owners Connie and Chuck Howell. Connie operated an embroidery business out of their Oshawa home, while Chuck worked at the General Motors truck plant. Then came the news, after 44 years of production, the plant would be closed, throwing thousands out of work. Thanks to that experience, the Howells’ philosophy is all about “keeping jobs in Canada.” About 75 per

cent of the items in stock right now at the store are Canadianmade and, says Connie, “We’re always looking for more.” If not Canadian, other items are made in North America, such as “Texas Jeans,” which have gained a dedicated following of those looking for good, heavy, quality denim with good stitching. “We’re the first retail store in Canada to carry Texas Jeans,” said Connie. Custom embroidery is offered at the back of the store, where a design or logo can be stitched on a hat, shirt, jacket, bag and many other items.

If it’s not in stock, or the limitations of a small store prevent having it in stock, Connie has a collection of catalogues to find what you’re looking for. Delivery, depending on the location of the supplier, is anywhere from one to five days. “When we moved to Brighton, about a year ago, we often heard people mention they would love to have a casual clothing store in town,” says Connie. “About six months we investigated the possibility and here we are.” “We’re offering everyday casual wear for men and women as well as work wear,” she added. In fact, in an effort to

Long wait on approval to expand Brighton landfill By John Campbell

News - Northumberland County Even if the province agrees to expansion of the Brighton landfill, “it will likely be 2015” before work can begin on making improvements to handle extra waste, says a Northumberland County official involved in the process. The public currently has until October 25 to respond to the environmental assessment that was submitted earlier this month but it will be “about 30 weeks before we actually get a formal decision from the minister of the environment,” Adam McCue said. The massive document, roughly 1,500 pages in total, sets out in detail what is being proposed to extend the life of the landfill on County Road 26 by seven years to 2023. It involves adding approximately 500,000 cubic metres to the site’s disposal capacity by building engineered lined containment cells with a leachate collection and removal system to receive waste material from old, unlined portions of the property. McCue said members of the public who participated in the last round of consultation, June 2012, won’t find anything of note that’s new. The county “took one step more than necessary” in handing over a first draft of the EA to the Ministry of the Environment and others to review last year, McCue said, “so that we knew when we submitted (the final draft), there shouldn’t really be too much if anything that needs to be edited … or added to.” The document, available at <www. northumberlandcounty.ca>, ended up

being roughly 1,500 pages long, in two volumes. “It took us almost a year to develop responses to [the comments received] or beef up sections of the report that they asked us to,” McCue said. Even if approval is given for the expansion to proceed, there are “still a few more hoops to jump through,” which include obtaining a detailed design of the work and amending the landfill’s certificate of approval, which will likely take a year, McCue said. After that tenders will be called for the project to be completed. McCue said there were questions raised at the start of the process “about impacts to groundwater and property values and those have all been addressed,” in the various rounds of consultation that included presentations at open houses. It was a matter of providing more detail to explain the measures county had taken to protect the interests of neighbours, McCue said of the EA done by Golder Associates Ltd. “There were no additional studies undertaken on behalf of the county in the last year to address” the comments that had been received. In 2010 the county acquired a farm across the road from the landfill’s east entrance after it was found that leachate from the trash “had impacted the groundwater up to the eastern property boundary,” McCue said. “We knew it was migrating that way” toward the farm property so the county purchased the 57-acre property for $280,000 to use as a buffer, or additional “contaminant attenuation zone.”

This house has found a new home, after Northumberland County sold it for $1,000 on condition that it be relocated. The farm property will act as a “contaminant attenuation zone” for the Brighton Landfill that sits across the road on County Road 26. Photo: John Campbell Right: The environmental assessment that was done on the Brighton Landfill, in support of expanding its capacity, is now in the hands of the provincial government for review. Photo: John Campbell

It’s going to take “a number of years before it actually does impact,” he said. The house was sold by way of a public tender for $1,000 and this summer removed from the land, which the county continues to rent out for agricultural use. Leachates migrating from

the landfill to properties bordering the site’s three other sides isn’t a concern, McCue said, because there are test monitoring wells within the landfill and beyond to track their flow. Residential wells in the area are also tested for the presence of leachates, he said.

Upstairs, visitors were invited to view the newly renovated My Theatre, with framed photographs of all Trenton mayors along the walls. Past president Carl Cashin introduced the half-hour play Rupert played by actors Bill Petch and Colin Leonard. “We have a lot of fun at Bay

of Quinte Community Players,” Cashin said. Like the Trent Port Historical Society they are looking for more members. “There is no such thing as no talent,” he said with a smile. “Anybody is welcome. There is no small contribution.” The theatre has been at the Trenton Town Hall now for six years. Its mandate is to promote community theatre. Cashin noted that high school students have

been actively involved as part of their arts programs and have done very well. “A lot of stage managers are under the age of 19,” he said. Cashin mentioned the theatre has been renovated extensively, thanks in part to Trenval who paid for the lighting which is the most modern in the area. The next performance at My Theatre is Out of Order written by Ray Cooney; it runs from October 17 to November 2.

News - Trenton - Visitors to the Trenton Town Hall during Doors Open Quinte West on September 14 were treated to artefacts and actors. “We have about two thousand old photographs we are working on putting on display,” said Julie Van Dijk, who works for the Trent Port Historical Society with president Shawn Ellis and Johnny Fletcher. The collection of historical artefacts were of special interest to long-time resident Barb Powers, 77. “I have lived here all my life,” she said, looking through the photographs. “I was born across from the old high school on Marmora Street. I remember all the old history. I like my town.” Her father was yardmaster on the CPR line. The train station on West Street and Sidney was a frequent stop for her. “We got on for free,” she said. “I went to Toronto every day because they were testing for polio.” Pictures of the train wreck of 1898 were also on display, documenting the Canadian Grand Trunk crash into a freight train in Trenton. Twelve people were killed and more than a dozen injured. A misplaced switch was the cause of the accident, as a westbound train took the wrong track, hitting an eastbound freight. It is believed the people killed in this crash were buried at St. George’s cemetery along the fence line. Barb Powers also commented on a picture of former mayor Neil Robertson, her brother. She looked through photographs of the old library, formerly a Gilmour Lumber Company office, across from the current Price Chopper. She also had a laugh at Dr. Crowe’s house. “We used to ring the bell and run,” she said with a laugh.

Action plan will set out priorities for improving life for pedestrians in Trent Hills By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - They walked the walk and talked the talk. All that’s left now is to get the work done. The specifics of that will be spelled out in an action plan for council to improve walking conditions in Campbellford, Hastings, Warkworth. The report is to be prepared by Kate Hall, program manager of WALK Friendly Ontario, and Geoff Noxon, a sustainable transportation expert, from Canada Walks and Green Communities Canada, based on walkabouts in the three communities they did with more than 20 municipal staff and representatives from local organizations over two days, capped by a workshop held September 10. It’s the first audit of its kind to be done in Northumberland County by the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge Health Unit, although similar assessments have been done elsewhere in the region, said Krista Skutovich, a health promoter with the unit’s chronic disease and injury

prevention department. Low physical activity levels “and all the ailments that can come from that” are a problem nationally, so walking “really is for everybody,” she said. Statistics show 91 per cent of Canada’s young people and 51 per cent of adults are not getting recommended levels of daily physical activity, and rates of obesity, especially in children, are on the rise. The action plan will set out the priorities identified by participants at the workshop, “then it’s up to the municipal staff to see what’s feasible,” Skutovich said. “There will be different levels of recommendations, so some things could happen quickly and some could be longer-term plans.” Topping the list of things to be done was development of an active transportation and trails master plan, followed by the collection of pedestrian counts, to help decide where to improve levels of service for those on foot. Other suggestions put forward included additional measures to improve accessi-

Implant vantages Ad In past articles, we discussed the negative effects of removable dental prostheses (dentures and partials). In most cases, complete and partial dentures are not the ideal Dr. Brian Ho replacement option of missing teeth because they lead to less chewing efficiency, decreased life span, limited food selection, altered tastes etc.. Fortunately, these negative effects can be avoided with the use of dental implants. Here are the advantages of implant-supported prostheses: • Maintain bone • Maintain Facial Esthetics • Improve chewing efficiency • Reduce the size of prosthesis • Improve the stability and retention of removable prosthesis • No need to alter adjacent teeth • More permanent replacement • Improve psychological health

bility, better enforcement of the no stopping spot in front of the post office in Campbellford, signage, and the removal of most parking spaces on the main streets of the three communities. In communities where the latter step is taken, “there is sometimes an outcry from the business community for sure but in anything that I’ve read, it has not diminished any business traffic, it has, in fact, increased,” Hall said. The “complete street approach” is a matter of redistributing parking and dispersing traffic on the right-of-way between stores differently. “This is a laundry list, it doesn’t necessarily mean that everything on that list is going to get done,” Hall said. “Every community has things they need to do to be more walk friendly but there’s no reason why more people can’t walk now also in certain places.” The mission of Canada Walks is to help communities improve conditions for walking by raising awareness of its health, economic, social and environmental benefits, sharing resources and best practices and bringing partners together to make walking happen. “It’s incredibly important,” Hall said, “particularly with an aging demographic ... We want people to age in place, we don’t want them to leave our communities so there has to be that quality environment for them to be able to maintain their independence and their independent mobility.” Communities also have a role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, she said. “If we can replace those short car tips with walking trips or cycling trips then we can do our part,” she said.

New web site launched for City of Belleville By Steve Jessel

News - Belleville - The city of Belleville has found a new home this past week, at least in the digital world. The city launched their brand new web site, <www.belleville.ca>, on September 12, and Belleville communications co-ordinator Aaron Bell said he’s excited to have a platform to be able to show off the city to the world wide web. “We really wanted to show Belleville as a great place to live,” Bell said. “We wanted to show people that we’re a forward thinking community, and there’s a lot of great things happening here.” Under construction since about November, the new web site abandons the at-times-clumsy interface of the old web site for a cleaner, more streamlined look with large display photographs, video, and a regularly updated news section that lets people know about the big events in Belleville, both past and present. The end result is a more modern, presentable looking web site with easy-to-find information and a more logical navigation system, something Bell said was initially a focus. “There were a few things that I picked out right off the bat that we really needed to do, and the number one thing was improve the naviga-

The new city of Belleville web site, <www.belleville.ca>, was launched September 12, and features an enhanced navigation system and a platform for photos and video to be displayed.

tion,” Bell said. “We needed to come up with a navigation structure that would make sense to people.” Bell worked with Belleville design firm They Integrated on branding and a content management system, while Bell himself was responsible for the majority of the design. Web site creation isn’t new to Bell, as he was part of one of the biggest multi-site launches in Canadian history with the launch of the Canadian Hockey League web site prior to coming to Belleville.

“I think it’s critical [to have a highly visible web presence],” Bell said. “I believe that’s the best way and the easiest way for us to communicate with the people that are in this community, and also people that are maybe looking at coming here to visit, or to work or to live. I think our online home is critical.” Bell said he plans to regularly update the web site with more content now that the major work of the actual launch is out of the way. The day of the launch the site received over 2,000 visitors.

New campaign, new goal for United Way By Steve Jessel

News - Belleville - After a highly successful campaign that saw $1.95 million raised in 2012, the United Way of Quinte is aiming even higher for 2013, announcing a $2-million goal during an official campaign kickoff celebration at Centennial Secondary School in Belleville on September 12. “The fact that we did $1.95 million last year, it seems like the milestone to try and reach this year,” said United Way executive director Judi Gilbert. “It’s really exciting to know that there is a very good chance that we will do that.” More than 150 people gathered for the kickoff event, where the campaign not only announced their 2013 fund-raising goal but also named the members of the 2013 fund-raising team. Dave Brown, vice-president of Belleville’s TaskForce Engineering was named the chair, and said he was excited to get the campaign under way. “The beauty of this fund-raising campaign is that the money stays in our community,” Brown said. “It’s a huge program and the reason I got involved, and why a lot of volunteers do is because the money stays here.” In total, the United Way of Quinte donated to 43 member agencies in 2012, supporting some 75 programs in the Prince-Edward Hastings region, including in Belleville, Deseronto and Prince Edward County. Just a few of the agencies supported in 2012 include Big Brother Big Sisters, the Canadian Hearing Society, the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Red Cross and Community Care for South Hastings, among many others. Brown said that one in three people in the region used services directly supported by the United Way of Quinte in 2012. “[The goal] is a little bit over last year, but no matter how much money we are ever able to raise it’s never enough,” Brown said. “There will always be more need, and especially in the

times of economic downturn that we’re in.” While the national average for non-profit administration costs hovers around 30 per cent, Brown said the United Way of Quinte takes just 16 per cent to support its eight paid staff. Brown’s role as chair is a volunteer position, and Brown has been involved with the United Way for the past six years. Brown was highly complimentary of the work the staff and hundreds of volunteers do in the community each year, and said he was hopeful for the 2013 campaign. “Hopefully the community will come together, and be able to meet that goal, and maybe exceed it a bit,” Brown said. The current campaign will run until the end of December, with an expected announcement regarding how much has been raised in midJanuary. In 2012, 75 per cent of funds raised came from workplace initiatives, campaigns and donations, and Gilbert said that the United Way would continue to try and build relationships with workplaces over the course of the campaign. “They’re a huge part of our campaign, along with our individual major donors,” Gilbert said.

Warkworth actor appears in the world premiere of Still Life By Sue Dickens

Entertainment - Warkworth - Describing himself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very private person who makes a living as an actor,â&#x20AC;? Martin Albert agreed to talk about his appearance in the cast of the TV Movie Still Life which made its world broadcast premiere on CBC last Sunday evening. From the rural community of Kedgwick, New Brunswick, where he grew up, to the village of Warkworth, to the TV movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleepy village in Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Townships called Three Pines, Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent as an actor has always been a part of his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was probably in Grade Two when I knew I wanted to be an actor,â&#x20AC;? he told the Trent Hills Indepen-

dent from his home on a few acres just outside Warkworth, where he and his partner Eric moved about four and a half years ago. Playing the role of Gabri, one of two gay owners of a bistro and bed and breakfast, the movie is based on the ďŹ rst book in Quebec writer Louise Pennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Three Pines series which was published in 2005. It became an international best seller and since then Penny has written more in the series about Three Pines and the charismatic Chief Inspector Gamache of the SĂťretĂŠ du QuĂŠbec, who was played in the TV movie by British actor Nathaniel Parker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I auditioned for the role of Gabri last August,â&#x20AC;? Albert explained. After a callback and another chance to read, he was chosen for the role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not seek out the limelight or strive to be the centre of anything. I simply love to portray interesting characters, giving them the breath of life with as much veracity as I can muster, so that the result is a well-rounded ďŹ ctional character that I helped bring to the stage or screen,â&#x20AC;? he said. The two-hour crime mystery begins with the murder of one of Twin Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eclectic residents, much-loved school teacher Jane Neal. Was it a tragic hunting accident or a devious murder? Her cause of death? An arrow through the heart. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his investigative

team dig deep into the bizarre death, uncovering long-buried secrets in the town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to have a Canadian ďŹ lm on such a world stage,â&#x20AC;? said Albert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a series that makes you think of the Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot mysteries.â&#x20AC;? For Albert who came to Ontario â&#x20AC;&#x153;to learn English,â&#x20AC;? the role is one of many he has had over the years. A graduate of George Brown theatre

school he performed at Stratford for four seasons in such plays as A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream and Richard II. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also do a lot of voice work on TV, in both French and English,â&#x20AC;? he added. Taking on the role of Gabri, he found, was an exciting addition to his portfolio as an actor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gabri brings to the novel a tonguein-cheek honesty,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some actors use a lot of technique. I use a lot of

listening, I respond in kind as to where the character is supposed to go.â&#x20AC;? And when the shooting was ďŹ nished he returned home to a place he loves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love living here. I ďŹ nd the Trent Hills area, the people â&#x20AC;Ś are really like home,â&#x20AC;? he said. Albert is hoping to appear again as one of Three Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; local heroes, Gabri, as two more ďŹ lms based on the series by Penny are planned.

MPAC takes proactive steps to warn of imposters By Sue Dickens

News - Trent Hills - An imposter or imposters claiming to represent the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) are phoning property owners asking for personal information. Both the OPP and MPAC are advising people to report this call if they receive one. Trying to stay one step ahead of these imposters, MPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal relations representative for Northumberland, Hastings and Prince Edward Counties has been sending out a warning to this area.

Vehicle and Machinery Safety on the Farm Picture a farm and you might imagine a quaint, wholesome place complete with green tractors, baby animals and hay bales. While this picture is idealistic, the tragic reality is that farms can be deadly places for their occupants, workers and visitors. Machinery greatly increases efﬁciency and productivity in farm workplaces, but at the same time introduces some deadly hazards. In fact, 70 per cent of agricultural fatalities are machine-related due to machine rollovers, runovers and entanglements. This National Farm Safety Week, the Canada Safety Council encourages all farming families, workers, and visitors to recognize the vital need for safety around all vehicles and machinery on the farm. Our goal is to raise awareness of the deadly hazards that exists and provide recommendations about what can be done to prevent injuries and tragedies. THE STATISTICS From 1990 to 2008, an average of 104 people died every year from agricultural incidents in Canada, according to the Canadian Agricultural Injury Reporting (CAIR) program. Agriculture ranks the fourth most hazardous industry in Canada, with 12.9 deaths per 100,000 farm population. Agriculture creates a unique environment, where children have direct access to the workplace. The most common locations for agricultural fatalities involving children are ﬁelds and the farm yard. Of the 248 children who died due to agriculture-related injuries

between 1990 and 2008, 63 per cent of the fatalities were machine-related. Seventy per cent of agricultural fatalities occurred from May to October, and 92 per cent of people who died in agricultural injury events were male. Along with the human loss and suffering, economic losses from largely predictable and preventable agricultural incidents cost $465 million in one year. Transportation collisions accounted for $91 million of this total. RECOMMENDATIONS Make your farm a safer place by developing good practices for operating vehicles and machinery. Do not operate farm machinery or vehicles when impaired. Impairing substances include alcohol, some medications and drugs. Impairment can also take other forms. These include fatigue, emotional stress and distractions. Always walk around your machinery or vehicle before starting the equipment. Children, pets, farm animals or debris may be hiding in your blind spots. Know the terrain of the land that is being farmed. When possible, avoid steep ditches and other areas where rollovers are more likely to occur. Use machinery and vehicles for their intended purposes only. Do not carry more passengers on machines or vehicles than recommended. Always keep your hands, feet and body in general clear of moving parts. Use safety guards and keep the machinery in good

repair. Keep work areas neat and clean. Underage persons should not operate vehicles or machinery. Teach children safety fundamentals. This includes clearly identifying where farm machinery and vehicles are operated, and where they may not play. Children need to develop a healthy respect for the potential dangers of being near a moving machine or vehicle, and learn how to stay safe. If you are the owner/operator of a farm, clearly communicate to your staff that risktaking involving machinery or vehicles is not allowed or tolerated. Your employees should understand that you expect them to always operate in a safe manner. This includes no speeding and no impaired or distracted driving. Make sure operators are competent,

conﬁdent and capable when it comes to using machinery. If additional training or instruction is necessary, make safety the priority. Take the time to read manuals, ask questions and consult industry experts who can give you answers. Have an emergency plan and review it often with anyone who is regularly at your farm. This plan should include contact information for local emergency responders, and contact information for friends or relatives who can be called if something goes wrong. Motorists, give farm-machinery operators the room they need on the road. Be patient and pass with caution when it is safe to do so. Like many aspects of farming life, safety is a shared responsibility and a team effort. It is absolutely necessary that everyone does their part to reduce injuries or deaths involving machinery and vehicles. Safety on the farm not only saves time and money, it reduces human suffering. Together, everyone can make the farm a safer and healthier place to live, work and play. www.canadasafetycouncil.org

Heroes Youth Camp a big success for OPP By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The OPP and local first responders are calling their Heroes Youth Camp a big success. “Thirteen Quinte West youth were chosen to take part in the first annual Heroes Youth Camp,” reported Detachment Commander Mike Reynolds

to the Police Services Board. The youth were selected based on their written submissions to the Quinte West OPP showcasing their community involvement. “As part of my vision to develop stronger relationships with our youth, our detachment developed the Heroes

Youth Camp,” Reynolds said. In partnership with military police, Quinte West fire rescue services and Emergency Medical Services along with assistance from the Community Policing committee, youth between 12 and 14 years participated in a four-day program. This included team building

and mentorships with the emergency management. “This was a great success and all partners are looking forward to next year,” he said. The youth watched demonstrations including an OPP K9 track and a Jaws of Life fire rescue. The youth had

many opportunities for hands-on job shadowing and participated in miniactivities such as a mini-firefit challenge, lifting fingerprints and footwear impressions from a crime scene. They also gained skills to save a life with CPR and defibrillator training. “One of the favourite team building activities was an obstacle course located at the cadet training area on the military base,” Reynolds said. The camp wrapped up with a barbecue and a fishing derby. The youth and their families were treated to a ride in the OPP’s new 21-foot Boston Whaler marine vessel. Each of the youth was presented with a certificate of completion by Inspector Mike Reynolds.

“As part of my vision to develop stronger relationships with our youth, our detachment developed the Heroes Youth Camp.” Quinte West OPP also celebrated former police officers in the community with the second annual OPPA Veterans Day held at the Trent Port Museum in June. This included veterans of the Trenton Police Force, Quinte West Police Service and Quinte West OPP. Over 30 retired and presently serving officers attended at the Trent Port Historical Society location, chosen because it was a former Trenton Police Station. “The retirees had a great time talking about the old police station and sharing stories of the past,” noted Inspector Reynolds. Efforts to establish a Quinte West OPP Auxiliary Unit continued in June. Representatives of the OPP East Region Auxiliary Unit partnered with Career Edge to deliver two information sessions providing an overview of the program.

well in November “because he knew the roads wouldn’t be fit to drive the car” in winter, so they’d have to use a cutter to get to town. The arrival of electricity “was a wonderful thing.” For one thing, it meant she no longer had to clean the dirty lamp chimneys every Saturday with rolled-up newspapers. Asked for any advice she might have to offer members of the young generation to help them live a long life, Ms. Potts said they “should realize that they are in charge of the most wonderful machine(s) in the world and that’s their bodies, and not to destroy them by bad habits.” Drugs, she said, are “the worst thing.” And as someone who enjoyed teaching and working with young people “because they’re always so vibrant and looking ahead for something special,” she said sometimes “they might better learn a skill” than earn a degree.

Good response to Probus Club in Trent Hills Worldwide, there are more than 5,000 clubs with in excess of 500,000 members. All are non-fund raising, non-secular and non-political, he stressed, and “you have to have some fun in order to make the club a success.” The benefits of membership include fellowship, camaraderie, friendship, and participation in a variety of interesting social activities, such as car rallies, boat cruises, bus trips, golfing, card games, camera clubs, computer groups, “and any other activity of interest to your members,” he said. Brighton’s Probus Club started out with 103 members and reached its limit of 150 within a month. Last year the cap on membership was increased to 200 “and we still have a waiting list,” Stainton said. “You benefit more from your membership if you put more into it, so please get involved in your club.” The aims and objectives of the Trent Hills Probus Club, as set out in its draft constitution <www.probusnorthumberland. com/about-us/about-trent-hillsprobus-club>, includes holding

regular meetings for retired and semi-retired professional and business people, “and those with like backgrounds, who appreciate and value increased opportunities for social contacts.” The morning meetings at St. John’s the second Wednesday of each month will feature a guest speaker. “Regular attendance is encouraged but not mandatory.” Activities that take place between meetings are organized by members and funded on a cost-recovery basis. The draft bylaw sets an initiation fee of $30 and an annual membership fee of $40. Snell said “not everybody is going to be interested in the same thing,” but he advised against staying at home to avoid going to a meeting because the subject matter sounded boring. “Always have an open mind … [and] be prepared for anything,” as he has discovered, having gone to meetings he thought would be “tedious” but which turned out to be “absolutely wonderful.” The charter meeting will take place October 9 at St. John’s, starting at 10 a.m.

Keith Stainton, a retired lawyer who was instrumental in starting up a Probus Club in Brighton, was the guest speaker at an information meeting held in Campbellford September 11 to drum up interest in the new Probus Club of Trent Hills. Photo: John Campbell

People can sign up until the end of that day to be charter members but after that “the constitution says they have to be sponsored, somebody has to nominate them, which is no big deal,” steering committee member Bill Hogle said.

interesting and he looked forward to activities involving cars, travel and golf. Lorna Watson, who’s been a nurse at Campbellford Memorial Hospital for 37 years, is “gearing up for retirement” and would “like to have a lot of fun and to get more involved with the community,” after she leaves the workforce. Hogle said he was “absolutely delighted” by the turnout and the “very nice buzz” about the meeting he heard among audience members.

elsewhere that had been toppled or snapped off, in and around Campbellford, including a huge maple on Centre Street. A decorative light standard in front of Apollo’s restaurant on Bridge Street East had also been twisted off. “It wasn’t as bad in Warkworth and Hastings,” Allanson said. Dan Dekuyper heard “a crash, boom, bang” and looked out the window and saw a tree lying on the ground outside the front door of his Second Street residence. “I’m shocked that no windows got broken,” he said. His wife, Nancy, said the “loud, loud noise” she heard around 5:30 a.m. signalled “strike three” for the huge birch on the couple’s front lawn. It lost a branch a few years ago in a storm, another one in an ice storm last Febru-

ary, and “now the rest of it” after last week’s short-lived but “very intense” storm that fortunately did little damage to their home, other than remove a metal cap on a chimney and a few rooﬁng tiles.

Another Second Street resident, Alan Appleby, said the tree limbs scattered about the neighbourhood “blew so far it makes you think that there had to be something like a twister.”

News - Campbellford - A fierce storm punched over trees and knocked out power for several hours early Tuesday morning September 10, and even forced the evacuation of an apartment building downtown after the rubber membrane on its flat roof was torn off. Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said firefighters evacuated the building at the corner of Front Street South and Bridge Street East around 5 a.m. after being notified “the roof had blown off” and was lying in the middle of the street. “We had the street blocked off right away and then public works came and cleaned it all up.” Tenants from the building’s 12 units were sheltered at the fire hall down the street while firefighters went inside to check the interior and the roof “to make sure it was still stable.” They went through the building a second time to check the smoke alarms were working and found a few that had to be replaced “so there were some charges laid,” Blake said. The tenants were allowed to return to their apartments after about two hours. A crew to repair the damage was on the scene before firefighters left around 9 a.m., he said. The fire department was called out to other locations before noon in response to storm-related incidents that included a hydro pole fire at Percy Boom and two trees lying across IXL Road and another on Church Street blocking traffic. Trent Hills public works department was kept busy for most of the day as well. It deployed two tandems, a loader and a backhoe to help clear the mess on Front Street South to get the road opened up. The roof’s membrane was half was on the street and half hanging over the side, said Neil Allanson, manager of roads and urban services. His department also removed trees

Among those who signed up last week were Harley Larouche, a retired warehouse manager, and Andy Bastedo, a retired heavy equipment operator. They knew little to nothing about Probus before the meeting. Larouche became a member for the fellowship, because he wanted to “start having some fun” in his late retirement and “you’ll meet a lot of people in town that you wouldn’t know if you didn’t join Probus.” Bastedo said it sounded

News - Campbellford - The Probus Club of Trent Hills looks to be in great shape for its charter meeting next month after about 80 people showed up September 11 to learn more about the organization. “We think we have created a club which you will ﬁnd rewarding, interesting, and, above all, hopefully, one in which you will have fun,” said Bob Bennett, chair of the steering committee he set up to establish the eighth Probus Club in Northumberland County. “This is great, this is so nice to see,” said Stephen Snell, president of the Ganaraska club, which sponsored the Trent Hills group, along with the Probus Club in Brighton, and the Rotary Club of Campbellford. Snell told those gathered at St. John’s United Church they would be joining more than 1,000 Probus members in the county. Keynote speaker Keith Stanton, who helped found the Brighton club ten years ago, gave a brief history of Probus in Canada, which currently has 228 clubs and more than 31,000 members.

Reaction mixed to new fee for cancer patients By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Reaction to the decision by the Canadian Cancer Society to begin charging a $100 registration to new patients in Ontario who register for transportation service is for some, shock and disbelief. The announcement was made in a press release on the CCS web site September 10. Cancer survivors and supporters of the Trent Hills Relay for Life commented on the new fee which takes effect October 1. Dave Nichols, cancer survivor and a former chair of the Trent Hills Relay for Life said, “This really upsets me. I will tell you that right now. When we started Relay for Life the original reason six

years ago was for transportation.” He referenced the cut in the mileage reimbursement to volunteer drivers which the society announced a couple of years ago, that caused a backlash and controversy. “We had a big meeting with the CEO in Ontario and they went back up,” he noted. For cancer survivor Angela Simmons of Campbellford, the fee is news to her. “I think it’s awful. I know for a fact that when I was battling cancer I wouldn’t have been able to afford the fee. Being a family with four children and me not being able to work we had one income to live off of. The last thing someone fighting cancer needs is to worry about more bills or worry about

getting to appointments,” she said. Tanya Nixon, senior manager of transportation for the society, addressed these concerns. “New patients who may face financial hardship may be eligible for assistance through our compassionate program. The society is committed to ensuring that no patient is denied a ride due to their inability to pay the entire registration fee,” she said. The decision to implement the new fee “was made based on the changing landscape of cancer,” she added. “Ontario’s population is growing and aging, which means that the number of new cancer cases continues to rise and with it, the number of patients needing help to get to treatment. The price of gas

and other costs have risen significantly over the years while the need for transportation grows,” she explained. “The Canadian Cancer Society is committed to providing transportation but the service is expensive. We spend more than $6 million a year on the program and we’ve seen almost a 20 per cent increase in the number of patients needing rides in one year alone,” she added. “This was a difficult but necessary decision to ensure the future of our transportation service so that we can continue to help cancer patients get to treatment.” Dave MacDougall, who has been cochair of the Trent Hills Relay for Life for many years, which raises money for

the society, reacted to the news when contacted. “I just heard about it and haven’t had time to think through it,” he commented. MacDougall was in the midst of packing to leave for a conference in Toulouse, France. “This is really taking me by surprise. I want to dig into it and try to understand the reasoning behind starting to charge a fee to better understand what the Canadian Cancer Society is doing before I comment,” he said. Last year in Campbellford, 34 cancer patients were assisted with transportation for a total of 442 rides by nine volunteer drivers who drove 63,993 kilometres.

Water and wastewater services reported in compliance News - Quinte West - The Frankford bridge watermain realignment project closed on September 5 with only two bids. “The bids were significantly over the $200,000 budget allocated in the 2013 capital program,” said Tim Colasante, manager of engineering, at the Public Works committee meeting. “Both bids were double the Jewell [engineers] estimate.” He said the city estimate was $200,000 and Jewell’s was $330,000. The lowest bid came in at $661,000. Staff have reviewed the submissions and rejected the bids. “We’ll put it out again in late winter or early spring,” Colasante said. He noted that some of the work can be done in-house with the assistance of specialized contractors. Jim Harrison asked if the watermain was under the bridge. Colasante said it is but there is a problem with access and the time of year. Also, many contractors are too busy, even though the city extended the time into September. Amy Nye, compliance co-ordina-

tor, reported on Water and Wastewater services. The city has been issued new certificates of registration which will expire in 2016. A risk assessment was performed where several risks were identified as significant hazards and will be subject to contingency plans. In Frankford and Batawa there was one non-compliance report identified where a city-owned well had to be decommissioned. In Trenton an adverse lab report was the result of 19 total coliform reported to the Ministry of Environment and the Health Unit. A resample resulted in negative contamination. On August 13, an announced detailed Ministry of Environment Compliance Inspection was done onsite. In Frankford on June 5 the final effluent ultraviolet disinfection system was accidentally shut off for 23 hours resulting in a reportable incident to the Ministry of the Environment. “One of the contractors shut the wrong breaker off,” explained Amy Nye. “That meant no alarm capability. Now there is a tag on the breaker to not shut it off.” In Trenton there were six partial

Jim Alyea asked about the old Wooler Hall property. Jim Turner said that will be finished in two weeks with a play structure. Jim Harrison commented, “A lot of good things are being accomplished, a lot of underground work. I am really impressed.” Fred Kuypers asked about the height of the plants in the centre of the roundabout. He said in Europe you can see across to the other side of a roundabout but not here. Tim Colasante said the centre structure should block any oncoming lights so there is no confusion from glare. “The only problem is speeding,” he said. “People are going twice the speed they should.”

News - Warkworth - A new outdoor sign at Percy Centennial Public School will let the community know what the students are doing during the school year. “We are very excited about our new sign. We will now be able to advertise school events to the community,” said Jennifer Meades, chair of Parent Council at Percy Centennial. “This has been an ongoing initiative for the past three years,” she added. The sign was paid for by the Parent Council through its fund-raising efforts and cost approximately $16,000. The major fund raiser has been the school’s hot lunch program which is offered in a partnership with Apollo’s Family Pizzeria and Restaurant in Campbellford. Additional activities have included the school spell-a-thon and the bi-annual fun fair. “Although we continued to provide

support where needed, and gratefully received,” he added. Keith Reid asked about the road construction on Johnstown Road and wondered why it had not been widened four feet to include a walkway for pedestrians. Tim Colasante said there is not enough space. They have already widened it with curbs and gutters but the road is higher than most of the properties. “People look happy,” he said. Reid agreed, “It looks great.” Jim Turner, manager of outdoor operations, said Harrington Road is 95 per cent complete. They are getting a chain fence and gates installed as part of the contract.

Jim Harrison said the city is spending a lot of money to make sure they are up to MOE standards or surpassing them. “We want to encourage capacity to attract more development,” he said. He noted they have over $7 million allocated to keep the system up to standards. They will do this in a timely fashion or as the need arises in order to keep borrowing low. “We hope other levels of government will recognize this and give

some financial support to the school for other items and events, we saved the majority of all of our fund-raising money over the last three years for this sign,” said Meades. “School Principal John Goheen has graciously agreed to pay to run the hydro out to the sign from the school budget,” said Meades. “Originally, we wanted to install an LED sign, but this would have been an extra $20,000 so we opted for the letter board. We had the sign built so the letter board could be replaced with an LED sign anytime in the future.”

Quinte Hills Golf Course opens up in Stockdale hills By Kate Everson

“It took us four years to get the permit,” notes owner Mike Wade, talking from his bulldozer at work on a hill. He hasn’t slowed down over the years but says this will be his retirement home next to the golf course. Formerly in construction, Mike seems happy to be here. “I have five kids and most of them helped out,” he says with a smile. A drive over the property on one of the electric carts is still a bit bumpy where the ground is being prepared, but the view is worth

it. Oaks, maples and evergreens line the greens and wild flowers bloom. “It will be gorgeous when the fall colours come out,” Kathy said. Even on a hot, humid day there is a nice breeze from the hills. Kathy says they hope to stay open while the good weather lasts into the fall, and are open now seven days a week, with special pricing of $10 for nine holes.

Improvements being made to conservation areas By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - A conservation lands update was presented to the Lower Trent Conservation board by Mike Lovejoy, manager conservation lands, at the recent meeting. The Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area has had trail maintenance and a dog waste dispenser added, also at Butler Creek. “The bags are bio-degradable,” he noted. A bridge needs to be replaced over Cold Creek as well. “It’s all eroded,” he said, showing photographs on the screen. “It’s 22 years old.” He said a replacement will cost about $18,000 but could be linked to the trail system on two continuous loops.

“We will inspect it every year until it’s replaced,” he added. They have replaced the metal ski shelter roofs at the Goodrich-Loomis. The area also has a popular cross-country run in October. In Proctor Park, the Advanced Warfare Training Centre has been doing some practice exercises, building rope bridges across the creek. There is also a new information kiosk at the park. Stone steps were being considered for better access to a steep trail. In Warkworth Conservation Area work has been done on shoreline vegetation management. At Bleasdell Boulder they have improved the parking area. “Vandalism on signs in the conservation areas is common,” Lovejoy noted. “We need ongoing en-

forcement.” He added they still have to remind people about dogs off leash which is not permitted. During Brighton Applefest on September 27 there will be a Nature Hike at Proctor Park Conservation Area from 1 to 2:30 p.m. with the Ecology and Stewardship specialist as she uncovers the ecological secrets and natural history of the park. Meet at the outdoor stage at the Proctor Park Playhouse barn. A Fall Fling will be held on October 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area with activities throughout the day. Goodrich is located off Highway 30 just north of Brighton. There will be geo-caching kickoff at 9 a.m. and a hike at 11 a.m. Call 613-394-4829 or contact <information@ltc.on.ca> for details.

Contract tenders for new ball diamond much higher than expected News - Trent Hills - Fate has tossed the municipality another curve ball in its bid to build a new ball diamond in Campbellford. The latest strike against the project going ahead anytime soon was receipt of three tenders ranging from $830,000 to $1.1 million—which was “significantly more than we budgeted,” CAO Mike Rutter said. The ball diamond’s designer initially estimated it would cost between $250,000 and $300,000, he said, and the municipality has set aside $200,000 to date to have the work done. What was surprising is “there’s a little more site preparation than we had anticipated.” The tender documents had also asked for prices for lighting and paved parking that the municipality could choose to do later rather than now, Rutter said. “You never know for sure until you go out and test the market,” Mayor Hector Macmillan said. The prices received were “certainly higher than

what we expected.” When Trent Hills put together the figures for a new ball diamond, it didn’t know at the time where its location would be, Rutter said. Since then, it has reached an agreement with one of its council members, Bill Thompson, to secure a site. The councillor has donated land, worth more than $100,000, near his farm supply business on the County Road 38 site, north of Brian Runions Memorial Ball Diamond, which is to be removed at some point to make room for a recreation and wellness centre. “This process was really to see what it would cost to build the entire diamond and then we could scale that project back to wherever we needed,” Rutter said. “The question now becomes, can we scale back enough to fit our budget at all and I’m not sure we can so council will have to make that call.” Council “will have to go back to the drawing board to see what it is we can do, or what changes we’ll have to make,” Macmillan said. A staff report is to be done by community ser-

Directed enforcement in Belleville News - Belleville - The Belleville Police Service has concluded a lengthy project focusing on prostitution in the downtown. A total of 14 charges against 14 men have been laid as a result of the undercover prostitution investigation. Culminating in a twonight period, police targeted men seeking street prostitutes in the downtown area. The suspects, who ranged in age from 35 to 81, were all released at the scene for a court date with specific conditions. The rationale behind this lengthy investigative approach is to determine the level of the problem, and then to identify and arrest those responsible. The Belleville Police Service continues to employ a variety of enforcement activities focusing on issues in the downtown utilizing various enforcement techniques including foot patrol, plain clothes assignments and the downtown cameras. Charged are the following people: Stephen Doxtator, 58, Ameliasburgh; Doug Burnett, 56, Napanee; Roger Pennell, 62, Belleville; Ronald Cooney, 50, Belleville; Sean Holmes, 44, Trenton; Richard Broad, 49, Picton; Sean Mitchoff, 35, Flinton; Doug Noonan, 71, Belleville; Don Quibell, 81, Belleville; Richard Loner, 54, Ameliasburgh; Gerald Tracey, 46, Belleville; James Keith Cousins, 71, Belleville; Darren Fletcher, 42, Trenton; Robert Gratton, 39, Tweed. All charged persons have been released to a court date of October 31, 2013.

vices Scott Rose for council’s second meeting in mid-October. Construction of a ball diamond “certainly won’t be done this year now,” Rutter said, and it’s possible it might not get done next year either, he acknowledged. “We have real budget pressures,” the CAO said, with more challenges in store, including a “significant increase” in policing costs.

Sports - Quinte West - The hills around Stockdale are getting a new golf course. The Quinte Hills Golf Course on Holland Road (off Will Johnson Road) opened on August 15 with nine holes and a driving range with more to come. “This is our seventh golf course,” said Kathy Fagan who works for her father Mike Wade, 82. Kathy commutes from Bowmanville but her parents live just over the ridge. “They live nice and close,” she said. The golf course will have 18 holes when it is finished, including an executive nine-hole. There will be a miniature golf course on the site with a waterfall and fountain, pond and two bridges. A two-storey clubhouse with lots of windows and stonework will have a pro shop, licensed lounge, snack bar and seat up to 100 in the banquet room. “It will have a nice view,” she added. The whole area is a spectacular view, surrounded by hills and valleys, trees, and supplemented with ponds and natural stone features. They have dug three wells for irrigation of the greens and added a solar power generator.

Volunteers will be busy surveying local businesses By John Campbell

News - Trent Hills - With last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s launch of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;BRE-Hive,â&#x20AC;? the municipality hopes to learn more about its buzzness community. Okay, bad pun, but the purpose of the Business Retention and Expansion survey is good: â&#x20AC;&#x153;to improve the competitiveness of local businesses by evaluating and addressing their broader needs and concerns,â&#x20AC;? says Vaughn Finch, community development officer. Roughly 100 businesses representative of the local economy will take part in the survey, and their participation â&#x20AC;&#x153;is extremely importantâ&#x20AC;? so that the municipality can learn from the collected data what actions to take and initiatives to implement, Finch said. Helping businesses stay competitive â&#x20AC;&#x153;is crucial to the sustained viability of communitiesâ&#x20AC;? because they â&#x20AC;&#x153;are more likely to remain and expand.â&#x20AC;? Twenty volunteers have been recruited to conduct the 90-minute interviews, which began with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;BRE-

Hiveâ&#x20AC;? held at Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth September 12. The eight interviews took place two days after volunteers received their instructions at a training session conducted by Carolyn Puterbough, an agricultural and rural economic advisor with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Businesses have been chosen at random from five sectors: agriculture, retail, tourism, manufacturing and services. The interviews will continue until the end of November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to have everything wrapped up by Christmas,â&#x20AC;? Finch said. Trent Hills is the first community in Ontario to employ the newest version of a survey the ministry has been using for about 15 years, Puterbough said. At 11 pages, with close to 60 multiple choice, yes or no, and short answer questions, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little more streamlinedâ&#x20AC;? than what was used before, focusing on areas within a municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jurisdiction.

The information gathered is â&#x20AC;&#x153;quite important,â&#x20AC;? Puterbough said, because it gives the municipality and its economic development advisory committee â&#x20AC;&#x153;an early warning systemâ&#x20AC;? of what the issues are among businesses, as well as lets them know â&#x20AC;&#x153;if there are good thingsâ&#x20AC;? happening in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working well,â&#x20AC;? and how can it be made even better, or if there is a problem, what can be done to fix it â&#x20AC;&#x153;before you lose a business over it,â&#x20AC;? she said. The survey â&#x20AC;&#x153;touches on a number of areas,â&#x20AC;? including the background of the business, its workforce, where it needs help, future plans, marketing, and use of social media. The information provided is â&#x20AC;&#x153;completely confidential,â&#x20AC;? and the data will be stripped of identifying material before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s placed in the hands of the committee to come up with recommendations for council to consider in developing a strategy to assist economic development.

they participate in the implementation of the province-wide Child Protection Information Network (CPIN). HSCA will be one of 14 early adopter agencies for the project, which aims to enable childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s societies to securely share confidential child protection information, and is part of the ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing plan to modernize the child protection system. Also at the meeting, HSCA recognized Claudette Mayhew for her career contributions in the field of child welfare by awarding her the J.J. Kelso Award for outstanding leadership in child education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of a more deserving recipient for this award,â&#x20AC;? said Kartusch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Claudetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion and dedication to finding permanence for children in the care of the society is a legacy that we are all richer for.â&#x20AC;?

My Theatre to present Out of Order Entertainment - Trenton - Out of Order was the winner of the 1991 Olivier Award for Best Comedy. Written by Ray Cooney, the My Theatre presentation will be directed by Len Hirst. When Richard Willey, a government junior minister, plans to spend the evening with Jane Worthington, one of the opposition’s typists, things go disastrously wrong in this hugely successful sequel to Two into One. As with many other Ray Cooney plays, it features a lead actor (in this case a junior minister) who has to lie his way out of an embarrassing situation (in this case a planned adultery with a secretary) with the help of an innocent sidekick (in this case the minister’s personal private secretary), who gets more and more embroiled in the increasingly tangled tale improvised by the lead character

Hunting in Murray Marsh allowed for 11 people only By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - The Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) board has voted to continue the status quo of a select group of 11 people with grandfathered privileges to hunt on the former Puddephatt Lands area of the Murray Marsh. Staff had recommended that hunting be opened up to include more people in different areas. “Staff has received complaints from the public concerning the current practice of only allowing a select group of people,” noted CAO Glenda Rodgers. “They want it open to all.” The Murray Marsh lands were purchased from Charlie Puddephatt who had allowed hunting privileges to a group of acquaintances. When Puddephatt passed away three years ago, the authority decided to continue this practice until a management plan was prepared which would include reconsideration of hunting in the

marsh. The LTC does not permit hunting on any other authority owned properties. Rodgers said the staff was considering allowing about 30 more people to hunt in the marsh. Mike Lovejoy noted this excludes any agricultural land. “A lot of it is swamp,” Lovejoy added. He said there are about 175 to 200 acres used mostly for deer hunting. Mary Tadman asked if it was safe and how they would control the numbers hunting. The recommendation included getting authority permissions from all applicants (to a maximum of 40 permits) and ensuring they all have their Outdoor Card, pay the administration fees ($20 currently) and provide proof of membership with OFAH and submit an annual report of hunting activity. “When did we get into polic-

Mary Tadman said she has never seen any signs for those hunting at Presqu’ile. Glenda Rodgers said this vote will apply only to this hunting season and there will be another decision after the Murray Marsh Natural Habitat Area management plan is completed. A recent poll was completed on Ontario’s 36 conservation areas regarding hunting on their lands: 16 permit hunting on some lands and 13 do not, and seven did not respond. “It appears that hunting on conservation authority lands is a relatively common practice,” she said. She noted that hunting does increase their liability.

Marjorie Morgan presents painting to LTC

The memorial stone dedicated to Frank Goodrich. Photo: Submitted By Kate Everson

News - Quinte West - A presentation of a painting of the homestead of the late Frank Goodrich was made by his daughter, Marjorie Morgan, to the Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) at the recent board meeting. “We had 600 acres and a homestead,” she explained. As executor of his will, Marjorie paid attention to her father’s wishes. “Dad loved the land,” she said. “There was a great rush from the real estate people to build homes there, but we left it as my dad wanted it.” Lower Trent Conservation took over the land after Frank died and named it the Frank Goodrich Wildlife Sanctuary. When the Loomis Brothers who lived next door also died, the property was renamed Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area. “My dad loved that woods,” Marjorie said. “He had big hands and he would come home with them full of wild flowers. There was always a bouquet on our table.” She said he wanted to stock the creek with fingerlings. “He had a Model A Ford, beige colour,” she said. “I learned to drive there. He took the seats out and put large milk cans filled with fingerling fish. He put screens on the tributary into Cold Creek so it was blocked off.” She said her father had

a meat grinder and would grind up liver every morning to feed the fish. “One day the screen was not cleaned off and we lost some fish,” she said. “But five years later there were still some fish.” She presented the painting to Lower Trent Conservation chair Craig Kerr and CAO Glenda Rodgers. “I hope you will find a place to put it,” she said. “There is nothing else left.” She said there were so many trilliums at the site “you couldn’t believe how many there were.” She wrote a book of verses in memory of those special times, and read some of it to the board, leaving them copies. “These were the wild things my Dad loved,” she said with a smile. Craig Kerr thanked Marjorie and noted that the Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area brings “much pleasure to all who walk there.” Marjorie wrote a biography of her father: “Frank was a very tall, quiet man who had a great attachment to the land known today as Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area. He grew up with a strong work ethic and sense of community. “In 1923, he and his wife, Eva, purchased the land later known as the Goodrich Wildlife Sanctuary. They farmed the land for many years and selectively logged the woods. They raised thousands of chickens which they

sold in town. “In the winter, he hired help for logging. Harry Westlake, a dedicated hired hand, worked for Frank for many years and helped with selecting trees and taking them to the portable saw mill. “Frank had a vision for Cold Creek as the best fishing spot around. He built a dam on the creek, hoping that the surrounding area would one day be a park. He placed picnic tables beside the creek and his wife would cook fish over an open fire. “In 1947, Frank and his family moved from the farm. They sold all but 300 acres of woods.” Through the years, he was very involved in local municipal politics, the Legion and Scouts. After her father’s death in 1969, Marjorie felt increasing pressure from developers to sell the property. A close family friend convinced her to consider protecting the land in her father’s memory. With this in mind, Marjorie sold the property to Lower Trent Conservation in 1971, and a further 11 acres to complete the parcel in 1996.

“A plaque and stone is located along the Esker Trail as a reminder of the enduring love and respect Frank Goodrich held for the property. ” A Biography of Ray Loomis was told by Ray’s nephew, Alex Sharpe, who worked for Ray from 1940 to 1943. “Ray Loomis was born June 5, 1890, and died August 26, 1983. He had an older brother, Allen and three sisters Ruth, Edna [Alex’s mother] and Laura. The girls married and left the farm while the two boys remained on the farm.” Ray was a quiet, mildmannered man who seldom raised his voice. He farmed his entire life and never married. He worked hard, lived frugally and was content to stay on the farm. The Loomis brothers raised horses, chickens, pigs and cattle. Ray especially loved the animals. They had an orchard, vegetable garden and grew raspberries and strawberries. These were located near the present day parking lot. Farm work and chores were often completed the old-fashioned way.

remembers using horses to do the field work despite owning a tractor. Winters were frequently spent drawing wood and Cold Creek provided an ample supply of trout in the spring and summer. Each day started at dawn. With the barn chores done and break- Frank Goodrich fast eaten, everyone was in the fields by 7 a.m. The day ended when the sun went down. The Loomis property was first purchased by William Schermerhorn. Chester (Ray and Allen’s grandfather) and Levis Loomis purchased the property in 1831, and it remained in the Loomis family for three generations. Lower Trent Conservation bought the farm from Ray in 1975, giving Ray a lifetime lease to the home. The land has been allowed to revert back to its natural state. A small woodshed near the main entrance of the Conservation Area, some fence rows along the Junior Loop Trail, and the open meadows are a gentle reminder of the property’s farming history. Marjorie Morgan shows some photographs of her family to the LTC board. Photo: Kate Everson

Sports McInroy Maines - Minor Midget The McInroy Maines Quinte Red Devils Minor Midget AAA Team opened regular season play on Sunday in Belleville against ETA East division foes, the Clarington Toros. A hard-working and persistent forecheck led to the game’s opening goal by Colin Doyle, with assists going to Ethan Coens and James Pero. The Devils held the lead until the middle of the third, when two Clarington goals gave the Toros a short-lived lead. On the powerplay, James Pero slid one in from the point to tie the game (assists to Austin Labelle and Graiden Maynard). However, an unfortunate penalty with two minutes remaining gave the Toros the opportunity they needed and they scored on a point shot with 18 seconds to go in the game. Jack Moore was in net for the loss. Season record is now 0-1 with the next regular season game scheduled on Friday in Kingston. Last weekend at the Toronto Titans Minor Midget Prospect Tournament, the McInroy Maines Quinte Red Devils Minor Midget AAA Team began the season by posting a record of one win, one tie and two losses over two days of play.

Bulls drop final preseason game Sports - Belleville - A tough preseason for the Belleville Bulls came to a disappointing end in Kingston on Friday night, as the Bulls dropped their final exhibition matchup against the rival Kingston Frontenacs by a final score of 4 - 3. The loss ends a winless preseason for the depleted Bulls, who lost all five games leading up to the start of the regular season on Friday, September 20. “I think we’ve become better in each of the games,” head coach and general manager George Burnett said. “We’ve got nine or ten kids that have never had OHL experience before, getting a chance to play shifts every night and gaining valuable game time.” After the Bulls dropped a 4 - 2 decision to the Ottawa 67’s in Smiths Falls on September 11, the Bulls geared up for their final tune-up match against the Frontenacs on September 13 in Kingston. Kingston was first to get on the board when an odd-man rush led to an easy one timer goal for Darcy Greenaway, and beat presumptive regular season starter Charlie Graham once more before the end of the first to lead 2 - 0 at intermission. “We have to remember [Graham] has only played in a couple of games but he’s played exceptionally well,” Burnett said. “Those two or three early games might have been a different story if we had a veteran guy in the net.” The Bulls opened the scoring in the second period when Joseph Cramarossa put home a shot from a tough angle at the side of the net. A goal by Bulls defenceman Scott Simmonds on a tipped shot evened the score up at 2 - 2, and that’s when the rough stuff started. Jake Worrad saw

his night come to an end after a fight with Greenaway, and the Bulls found themselves short yet another defenceman entering the third period. A back-and-forth third period saw each team briefly take the lead on goals by the Frontenacs’ Billy Jenkins and the Bulls’ Niki Petti, but Kingston would get the last laugh when defenceman Lawson Crouse let go a hammer of a slapshot from just inside the Bulls blueline to beat Graham in net, and the Bulls had no answer, falling by a final score of 4 - 3. “We understand that our team isn’t going to be as

veteran-laden as it was last year, but I like our skill and I like our kids,” Burnett said. “The ﬁnal results, the ﬁnal score means very little to us at this point in time.” The Bulls open the regular season Friday on the road when they visit Ottawa to take on the 67’s, and play their home opener the following night, Saturday September 21, when they host the North Bay Battalion at the Yardmen Arena starting at 7:05 p.m. Bulls forward Michael Cramarossa scored a goal from Adam Laishram during the Bulls 4 - 3 loss to the Frontenacs on September 13.

Caps and Jets arrive in Hockeyville

1-888-967-3237

Washington’s Nicklas Backstrom leads the rush as the Capitals arrive in Belleville to play the Jets. for the game between the Washington Capitals and the Winnipeg Jets, adding the Hockeyville prize package was a ﬁtting tribute to former arena manager Barry Wilson. Wilson, who passed away in 2011, was involved in the planning process to make arena improvements at the time of his death, Brandt says. The Hockeyville prize also included $100,000 to be used for that purpose.

Also remembered during the campaign that eventually amassed nearly 4,000,000 votes to win the national title was longtime sports supporter and volunteer Wayne Brown. Members of the Wilson and Brown families were on hand to ofﬁcially drop the puck at the pre-season game. And with renovations completed, hundreds ﬂocked to the Stirling arena

last weekend for refereeing workshops, a question and answer session with NHLers Brooks Laich, Mikhail Grabovski, Zach Bogosian and Eric Tangradi, a return visit by the Stanley Cup and live broadcast of the game. “It’s been fantastic,” says Brandt of the weekend activities that kicked off with a party at the covered bridge on Friday night. More than 500 people,

including Jets director of pro scouting Mark Dobson, attended the party with thousands more taking part in Saturday events held in Stirling and Belleville. In Belleville on Saturday night, members of the Hockeyville committee were also honoured between periods when they were brought onto the ice, congratulated by Kraft and NHL ofﬁcials Story and photos continued on page B12 R0012307348

Sports - Stirling - It was a weekendlong celebration in and around StirlingRawdon as the community hosted its long-awaited NHL pre-season game to mark its Kraft Hockeyville 2012 title. Hockeyville committee chair Cindy Brandt says a long list of events saw strong attendance, including a full house at the Yardmen Arena Saturday night

Diversity of cultures come together to drum by organizers is called “Ruins to Rhythm” and challenges people to create an instrument from recycled materials to be shown next year. Organizers charged a small fee of five dollars to attend, which they hope will help with bringing in more performers and extending the event to two days. The eight-hour program went from 11 a.m. until dusk. Extending it to two days would give those coming from afar time for more involvement. The roster of participants was impressive: well respected dancers, teachers, performers and creators of culturally significant drum-related practices, vendors of organic food, arts and products from various cultures, spiritual and psychic mentors shared spaces with textile artists and “conscious living” alternatives. There was not a dull moment with impromptu performances by partici-

pants. Percussion instruments were available for everyone. African drum workshops hosted by teachers Saikou Saho and Njacko Backo were filled to capacity. When the Afro-Brazilian troupe of percussionists, Maracatu Mar Aberto, paraded their sounds throughout the grounds everyone joined in the gaiety. The ethereal sound of David R. Maracle’s wooden flutes drifted into the night while cleansing smoke of a sage smudge drifted over the field and visitors gathered under the big tent for a final drum circle at dusk. You can look into more detail of the event online at <www.drumnationfestival.com>, from there you can link to entertainers and vendors using the events option, or contact the Municipality of Centre Hastings for information.

News - Madoc - Percussion instruments have roots in all cultures. Drum Nation Festival is designed to bring those cultures together in harmony and respect, “Uniting Humanity through Culture and Creativity.” Terry and Deborah Richardson started drumming circles in their backyard. The number of participants kept growing so they moved to O’Hara Mill Homestead, gave it a name and welcomed even more folks. This year they moved to Whytock Park with sanc-

tioning by the Municipality of Centre Hastings bringing the event in as a committee of Parks, Recreation and Culture. Close to 50 regional businesses pitched in their support to make it happen, including the TD Canada Trust Bank and the Quinte Arts Council. Local bank manager Carolyn Birney said TD has three charitable focuses, “Supporting this event comes under TD’s commitment to invest in diversity, culture and environmental The hypnotic rhythm of Eastern music was beautifully interpreted by belly-dancers as part of the programs.” A new project proposed drumming festival.

Njacko Backo was born in a small village of Cameroon. He has a biography worth reviewing, including work on musical scores for the movie Born Free. He is an educator, recording artist, and choreographer. He enraptured the audience at Drum Nation Festival in Madoc on September 14. Photo: Diane Sherman

Mi’kmaq artist/entertainer Thomas Clair is multi-talented. Hollywood recruited him for movie roles and he is now working on his first CD album titled Contemporary Mi’Kmaq Blues. He captured the audience at the festival with his traditional performance. Photo: Diane Sherman

More changes planned at Farmtown Park News - Stirling - Heritage Village was crowded with visitors last Sunday, ﬁrst for the annual Quinte Agricultural Wall of Fame induction ceremonies and later for Farmtown Park’s volunteer appreciation dinner. This year’s Wall of Fame inductees include Don Martin, Russell and Mary Sills, John Boughen, Bill Greer, Jim Dalrymple, Bill and Marilyn Brant and Paul Burns. But with its ever-expanding membership, says Farmtown Park President Ron Reid, the wall needs a new home and planned improvements are in the works. Speaking to a room full of museum volunteers and supporters late in the day, Reid says a donation of $7,000 made recently by the Hastings Federation of Agriculture has been earmarked for a number of projects including the relocation and expansion of the Wall of Fame. The display recognizes agricultural pioneers and leaders who have made a valuable contribution both locally and beyond eastern Ontario, he says, noting among those recognized this year was Jim Dalrymple who Roger Barrett helps serve up dessert after a volunteer appreciation dinner at Farmtown Park last was instrumental in both Sunday. This season the Stirling museum broke several attendance records. launching and maintaining

the institution which is part of the Ontario Agriculture Hall of Fame. The Wall housed at Farmtown Park recognizes farmers in Hastings, Northumberland, Prince Edward and Lennox And Addington counties. As well, he says, there are other changes planned. The Fire Hall will be moved from Heritage Village into its own building and replaced by the reconstructed Whitehead’s that is currently located in the main structure. Special displays are also planned for the recently acquired Odessa Mater which, Reid says, has quickly become a major attraction for visitors. And again this year, he adds, the Strawberry Social and Grandparents Day were popular events. Increased trafﬁc throughout the season this year, Reid notes, comes in part as a result of a marketing push and the increased publicity. Reid once again noted the importance of volunteers to the ongoing operation of Farmtown Park and added those efforts are continuing to pay off. Along with the largest walk-in day since its opening, with receipts totaling $400, he says attendance is growing along with the museum’s collection, which now includes the working single-cylinder diesel engine

that was last ﬁred up on Grandparents Day. Grant Reid, after training sessions with Gary Tweddle and Ray Smith, was designated the Resident Diesel Engineer and museum ofﬁcial responsible for any re-starts of the locally remembered 80-year-old workhorse that once powered a grist mill in the middle of Spring Brook. Reid, on behalf of the museum board, also offered his thanks to the volunteers

News - Brighton - Community Care Northumberland is pleased to announce it is now offering new recreational/fitness classes and culinary/nutrition workshops. This new programming is all part of Community Care Northumberland’s development of new wellness programming that interests both early retirees as well as the older adults. “We are piloting these fitness and culinary programs because everyone has questions about fitness, healthy eating, food/nutrition, general health information and continued education,” said Trish Baird, Executive Director of Community Care Northumberland. “We are seeing an increased demand for this type of programming within Northumberland County. We chose the Brighton community to try these new program ideas and ask that the participants give us feedback on what future wellness programming Community Care Northumberland should implement county-wide.” Physical activity is an essential component of a healthy community and it is never too late to become more active. The Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines for Older Adults state: “Older adults need to accumulate 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week: - It is also beneficial to add muscle- and bonestrengthening activities using major muscle groups at least two days a week. - Those with poor mobility should perform balance activities to enhance stability to prevent falls.” Community Care Northumberland wants to help you accomplish this by offering the following:

currently preparing for upcoming events at Farmtown Park that are among the season’s highlights. October’s annual Agribition, which sees hundreds of school children arrive each year for live demonstrations and presentations from area agricultural experts, as well as the Starlight House Tour and Christmas fund raiser dubbed Home for the Holidays, are all approaching, he says.

Cycling in the city of Groningen in the Netherlands

There are lots of bicycles in Groningen. By John M. Smith

Lifestyles - Several of my readers will already know that I’ve done a lot of bicycling over the years, including twowheeled trips across Canada, through several states, around Lake Constance, and down the Danube. However, until this summer, I had never cycled in the Netherlands, arguably the most appropriate place of all for a bike ride. It’s a cycling mecca, with its flat terrain and awesome bike lanes, paths, and routes—and more bicycles than cars! Well, I finally rectified this situation on my summer visit to Groningen, and I toured this northern city via two wheels. Groningen has been referred to as the “World Cycling City,” for almost 60 per cent of all inner city journeys are made by bicycle. Therefore, this seemed to be “the perfect place” for me to ride in the Netherlands. As I arrived here by train, I discovered that even the train station had an underground parking garage with space for more than 5,000 bicycles. I also found several bicycles parked in front of

my hotel, the nearby Asgard Hotel. After checking in, I soon hopped on a bike, and I was joined on my city cycling trek by university student Bob Verschoor, who pointed out the city’s main points of interest. We made several “photo stops” along the way, including at a popular statue near the train station itself, of Uncle Loek and his grazing horse. Other attractions/stops included Grote Markt Square, with its lively market; City Hall, built in 1810; the Corn Exchange, built in 1865; the Jewish Synagogue, built in 1906; the Gold Office which used to be the tax collection office; and the Groninger Museum, a museum of modern and contemporary art. We also rode to the 15th century Martini Church and tower, named after St. Martin, the city’s patron saint; the church’s organ, one of the oldest in the Netherlands, dates from before 1450. We also cycled to the nearby Prinsenhof, which was inhabited by friars back in the 15th century and later was used as a vice regal palace. I found the oldest

section of this structure, which had been used as a church, was now a restaurant and the building itself was now a hotel. We wandered about its Prinsenhof Garden (laid out in 1625), where we saw where the initials of former viceregent, Willem, and his wife, Albertine, had been carved into a hedge. We also found a rose garden, herb garden, sundial, and tree arbour walkway here. We then rode to a hidden courtyard, behind lockable gates, where modern apartments now exist but where a nunnery and then an orphanage stood previously. Like most cities in the Netherlands, Groningen’s historic centre is surrounded by a canal. Since we were cycling on a particularly warm afternoon, we decided to stop along the canal for a cold one at a patio. While we relaxed and enjoyed the canalside view, we saw a swing bridge open for a boat (just as we’d see in our own Quinte West). However, the person who opened and closed this swing bridge then jumped on his bicycle and rode to the next swing bridge where he repeated the same tasks. He then proceeded by bicycle to the next one. Therefore, the same boat would keep meeting the same bridge operator on several occasions until the bridge operator finally returned back to that first bridge. After exploring the city centre, we headed further afield, to a popular park, the Noorderplantsoen, where we found many university students simply socializing, tossing a Frisbee, An enclosed walkway in the Prinsenhof Garden. or enjoying a picnic. This elongated, narrow park is built where the old city walls and fortifications used to be, so it curves around the old city, and the old moats have now become park ponds. There are a lot of university students in Groningen, so they need a few “hangouts,” and this park appears to be one of them. I learned that the large student population has helped Groningen to have yet another prestigious “claim to fame,” for it’s not only known as the “World Cycling City,” but it’s also known as “the Youngest City in the Netherlands” (by population), for it has the lowest average age (36) of any city in this country. Therefore, along with thousands of bicycles, you’ll also find lots of student residences, pubs, and

nightclubs in Groningen! “Party time” occurs frequently! While cycling around Groningen, you should also include Stadspark, Groningen’s largest park, and the Hoornse Plas, a recreation area on the city’s outskirts. The Groningen Tourist Office <www.toerisme.groningen.nl/ en> will provide a brochure and map for a very nice 25-kilometre bicycle route, but Bob and I did some “detours” and “extras” along the way. As we rode back into the city centre area, near the end of our pedaling excursion, we passed Koolhaus (said to be “the most beautiful urinal in the Netherlands!”), some “Coffee Shops”, and the city’s STRIP Museum (now get your mind “out of the gutter,” folks, for this refers to a comic strip museum!).

LIFE

Reality Check:

Sheila Wray Gregoire Lifestyles - I have heard it said that you can measure people by the size of the things that get them angry. The smaller the size, the smaller the man. The shorter the fuse, the smaller the person.

Anger and the measure of a person

Many angry people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize that they are the problem. To them, the problem is always something external; it was something elseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; that made them angry in the first place. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to blame others for our problems, but no one else can determine your feelings. In the concentration camps, Viktor Frankl said the one thing the Nazis couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take from them was the ability to choose how to respond. No one can make you angry. Anger is a choice you make. Now for some of us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a natural choice. Perhaps we were born into angry homes. That anger may not always have been expressed; perhaps it simmered under the surface, until the tension was so great that you had to leave just to escape from it. But you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely leave it behind, and that

The Good Earth: Lifestyles - Long-time readers of this column will be aware that our family enjoys home-grown music. We look for house parties, kitchen parties, ceilidhs, at-homes, acoustic jams and open mikesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;places where mainstream, sugared down â&#x20AC;&#x153;popâ&#x20AC;? jingles are completely unknown. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t name all of the local venues but there are a few standouts: The Acoustic Grill and The Waring House down Picton way, The Boathouse and The Beaufort (a really good acoustic jam of older and really eccentric musicians) in Belleville, and open mikes are springing up everywhere with the two most recentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; of which I am awareâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in Codrington and at The Gates in Brighton. I also have to mention Blues in the Schools offered up by local musicians who belong to the Loyal Blues Fellowship. A week ago this Saturday, Betty and I took in a music show in Kingston. The

tension has followed you. Or perhaps you lived in a family that was quick to anger and quick to yell. Now thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how you express your feelings. While that may explain why you often erupt in anger, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a pass on the responsibility to confront this personality trait and deal with it. And the first step is recognizing where anger comes from. Anger is a master disguise artist. We like to think that every time we feel anger itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s righteous indignation: someone did something wrong, and naturally weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re appalled. Yet most anger isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the indignation sort, because anger tends to be a secondary emotion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our psycheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of dealing with something that makes us uncomfortable. When we feel fear, or feel hurt, we react in anger instead because that seems safer.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a woman who is trying to raise three small kids and keep her head on straight. But deep inside sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worried that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing a bad job. The kids whine, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen, and the place is always a mess. So what does she do? She starts yelling. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to yell, but the anger is what comes out when she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face the fear that she is failing at what is most important to her. Or what about a guy who is secretly afraid that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a real man? He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anyone looking at his family or his home and thinking that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in control, so whenever his teenagers talk back or his wife expresses an independent thought he grunts or yells. Soon no one tells him the truth about anything. They just dance around his anger, and everyone loses. Living with someone who is angry is

exhausting, but living with that kind of anger is awfully tiring, too. So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the cold, hard truth: big people confront their fears. They admit them, face them, and deal with them. Small people ignore them by taking their pain and transferring those to other people. They get angry and yell and make everyone else miserable so that they can avoid confronting the fact that they feel like failures, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid of the future, and they worry that they are not in control. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an angry person, then the next time you feel angry, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just count to ten before you erupt. Take that time to ask yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What else am I really feeling?â&#x20AC;? And then deal with that. When we can be big enough to ask the hard questions, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll often find that our fears become much smaller, and our life, in turn, much bigger.

Down In The Garden

Mansion is a local watering hole catering to the younger crowd (you and I were never that young, Gentle Reader) who would look across the room at us with slightly bemused expressions. Not a place we would normally offer our custom but The Mansion provides an opportunity for emerging indie artists. The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;indieâ&#x20AC;? is derived from independent, and in the music scene, usually refers to artists and groups just starting out on professional careers without the backing of major producers or outside money. The music is diverse with many discernible influences such as 1970s folk, soft rock, blues and even, believe it or not, a hint of bluegrass sometimes slips into the mix. There is a consistency, however, in the energy and passion performers bring to the stage and it is, truly, a joy to watch these artists chasing and living the dream. On top of that we get to hear some

amazing music. (The segue into a gardening column is coming up soon, GR, so bear with me.) One such performer is Alex Bien; go on line and type his name into the search engine of your browser. This young man is the epitome of the genre and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but listen to his music and be engaged. He is currently raising money to fund his first full-length album so if you would take a moment to check out his pitch on the Kickstart web site you would be doing a good thing. Segue: As gardeners we sometimes worry that our passion for growing and tending this good earth which nurtures and sustains us will not be taken up by the next generations. It sometimes seems that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Facade of Gardeningâ&#x20AC;? has taken over; decoration of the outdoor spaces with no regard to organic or biological needs. Well, there is a new song out there by a new group of

young folk that brings us hope. We have been a fan of ZoĂŤ & the lost boys since we stumbled across them about a year ago; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indie folk music with strong influences of blues, jazz and good old country. You have to pay attention to the lyrics. You can go to <http://music.cbc. ca/#/bands/zoe-the-lost-boys>. You can stream several of their selections; if this is gobbledy-gook to you, get a young person to show you how. A song on their newest album, love itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good, good, good down in the lives here, is Down in the Garden. The garden lyrics are presented with ZoĂŤ Robertiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got apple flesh between my teeth, sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission: ants criss-crossing over my feet a happy dog is at my heel and i know down in the garden just how god must feel and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good the buttercups show their heads tossitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good, good, good down in the ing in the early june breeze garden the sunbeams are stained with green everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living will not aldancing through the brand new leaves ways be alive and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good but i wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend my days grieving for something that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t died sure as mountains turn to gravel and iron turns to rust i know my lovely garden will someday turn to dust sections of County Road 46 including how much of this will i get to keep 910 metres from Fire Road 68 to Twin from underneath the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily sweep Lakes Motel that â&#x20AC;&#x153;forms the final link i will not mourn the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retreat for to connect the EOTA trail at Coe Hill.â&#x20AC;? the light is strong and the day is deep â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything here that and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the county criteria,â&#x20AC;? itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good good good down in the garDeputy-mayor Andy Sharpe said. den

Higgins says the trail route also avoids the 6th Line waste transfer station as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;most roads with paved shoulder and more trail moving from county road to crown land.â&#x20AC;? Importantly, the road links as mapped out â&#x20AC;&#x153;close gaps giving us a loop with the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance trail to the east at both the south and north ends of our municipality,â&#x20AC;? he said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at six pieces of county road.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has the potential to bring trail users into our community from as far south as Stirling, as far north as Bancroft and from all other access points between.â&#x20AC;? What this does, said Higgins, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;create a loop and put(s) us on the map as a destination for ATVers.â&#x20AC;? Higgins is also the townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative on the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (EOTA) board and emphasized how important the 700kilometre trail network is in terms of economic spinoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ATV trail as it exists generates $6 million a year in spinoff revenue toward things like accommodations,â&#x20AC;?

he said. The figure is from a study commissioned by the EOTA and done by the Ministry of Tourism. It determined that ATV users spend $240 a day when riding the trails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Potentially theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be spending here,â&#x20AC;? Higgins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are significant dollars.â&#x20AC;? The link to Weller Road establishes Havelock as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;central hubâ&#x20AC;? to the HBM portion of the trail network linking it to the EOTA trail in the "MUFSOBUJWF %FMJWFSZ o &BSO ZPVS 148 DFSUJmDBUF east and trails that head north and in just 38 weeks! west.

News - Havelock - The Havelock and District ATV Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road links plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;closes important linksâ&#x20AC;? and makes it possible for all-terrain vehicle users to travel into Havelock from as far away as Bancroft and Stirling. The club presented its request to use portions of Peterborough County roads to link with the existing trail network to council last week and was met with solid support. The club wants to use 9.38 kilometres of gravel-shouldered county roads; the longest stretch, 2.8 kilometres, runs along County Road 48 from the trail at the 6th Line to Weller Road in Havelock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at six pieces of county road,â&#x20AC;? club president Phil Higgins told council. Municipal approval of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request is necessary before the list is forwarded to county council for its consideration. The Township of Havelock-BelmontMethuen is the only municipality in the county where ATV riders can use county roads to link up with trails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the only one recognized in the county bylaw,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Ron Gerow noted. The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last list to council included George, Ottawa and Concession Streets in the village but Higgins says theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excluded this time.

News - Batawa - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s September and all the new general manager of Batawa Ski Hill can think about is snow.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to crack some gates with the Racing Club!â&#x20AC;? You can see the anticipation in Andrew Rusynykâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes.Â Rusynyk recently arrived from Alberta to take the reins of the Batawa Ski Hill. He has spent the past 23 years in the west, but is originally from Ontario and has deep roots in the Ontario ski racing scene. It remains his passion, and he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get back to Ontario to make his mark on a family hill that teaches and grooms young people to enjoy the sport he loves so much. Rusynyk was born and raised in Toronto and began skiing in the race program at Georgian Peaks. He rose to the Ontario team, competing all over Ontario with the likes of familiar racing names such as Brian Stemmle. As well as racing competitively, he also taught skiing for many years aand is qualified to train ski instructors, something he looks forward to doing here in Batawa to increase the ranks of local ski instructors. While teaching lessons, he had the pleasure of instructing Entertainment Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mary Hart. After garnering experience in the restaurant industry he returned to his true passionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the ski business. Over more than 27 years at snow resorts he has overseen marketing, instruction, guest experience, rental shop and ticketing as well as resort development and construction. He was most recently at Castle Mountain Resort in Alberta where he was a key player in doubling the resortâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visits, opening a new mountain and introducing the Powder Stagecoach Cat Skiing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very excited to be back in Ontario especially because this is such a beautiful part of the province. I can hardly wait for the temperatures to drop so that we make the hill white and get the lifts turning,â&#x20AC;? says Rusynyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The major focus this season will be to refine operations at the hill, both inside and outside, so that the people that come to Batawa Ski Hill to have fun will have the best possible experience this winter. I will personally challenge myself and all of our staff to make snow earlier than ever, to have lifts running on time and to create a friendly, welcoming experience for each guest, every time they come to the ski hill.â&#x20AC;? And Rusynyk isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only change skiers and snowboarders will see at Batawa Ski Hill this winter.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have introduced new talent in our outside operations to ensure our snow hits the ground as soon as possible and lift operations as well as
