Students' stories straight from the heart BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton – “If it weren't for cancer research I wouldn't be here today.” With that simple and sincere declaration Kayla Willock, a Grade 11 student at East Northumberland Secondary School, gave her fellow students even more reason to try their best to raise money at the school's upcoming Terry Fox Run. Taking the stage to tell her intensely personal story as a cancer survivor at a special assembly held Sept. 15, Kayla said she was five years old when a CT scan revealed she had a tumour about the size of a walnut at the base of her brain. Sick Kids Hospital became her home for the next 11 months. Her treatment began with a six-hour operation. “With brain surgery, as you can imagine, there are great chances of terrible things happening,” Kayla said. Her parents were warned their daughter might not be able to walk, talk, hear, speak or even move after the surgery. Fortunately, the entire tumour was removed without causing her great harm. She spent weeks in hospital recovering from her surgery before beginning radiation therapy. It didn't hurt at the time but “it does take a huge toll on your body,” Kayla said. After that it was chemothera-
py to deal with what her doctors said was an “aggressive” form of cancer. From the end of January to the end of August, she was so sick there were only a few days she felt well enough to leave the hospital. “There were many other tests and treatments that went on during those months,” she said, “and I was seen by so many doctors and specialists that we soon lost count.” Cancer treatment is expensive and so is cancer research, Kayla said. “I am so thankful for fundraisers like the Terry Fox Run that raise millions of dollars to help find a cure for this awful disease.” Cancer also touched Hailey Chard when she was young. Five years ago when she was 12, her mother began complaining of back pain. It turned out she had cancer. It was stage 4 and spreading. “The harsh reality of what was really happening to my mom did not set in until I was told that my Mom would soon die,” said the Grade 12 student. “That was and forever will be the worst sentence anyone has ever said to me.” Her mother died nine weeks after being diagnosed, just 33 years old. “My hope is that with the money we raise, we develop more advanced early detection tests and better cancer treatments, so none of you will be

Trenton’s Military Family Resource Centre is once again launching their Mental Health Awareness Week. Running from Sept. 18 — 24, a variety of seminars, workshops and other teaching opportunities will be available to members of the civilian and military community to take part in. Topics being covered throughout the week include how to cope with anxiety, dealing with depression, resilience building, parenting, practicing mindfulness and more. Now in its second year, the Military Family Resource Centre's (MFRC) mental health team and the special needs and inclusion co-ordinator said they decided to partner together since both matters can often walk hand in hand. “Often with special needs, there’s lot of stress,” said the MFRC’s prevention support and intervention co-ordinator, Jaclyn Hunter, “and with stress comes the need for mental health checkups.” But while there can be overlap between the two, the MFRC’s special needs and inclusion co-ordinator, Orlana Bourgoin, noted that there is a fundamental difference between those suffering from poor mental health and those with special needs. “It’s Mental Health Awareness Week with a focus on special needs and understanding the differences between the two,” said Bourgoin, adding that there would also be an opportunity during the week for professionals to learn more about the differences during a workshop. Bourgoin added that having special needs doesn’t just refer to individuals with an intellectual delay, but that it could also be a physical or developmental disability.

“We don’t turn anybody away,” she said. Hunter further went on to explain that she hoped the public would take advantage of the resources being offered since the need to bring awareness to those suffering from poor mental health and special needs was crucial. With a growing demand for services that address the issues of mental health, Hunter said she and her team can see more than 300 clients a year. Bourgoin added that she alone has provided services to more than 70 families since she started working at the MFRC in 2015. Since mental health is a spectrum and not every case has to be treated with medication, Hunter said something as simple as having the proper resilience skills to deal with a situation could positively impact an individual’s well-being. She again said she would urge anyone looking for more information to contact the MFRC to learn about the programs being offered during Mental Health Awareness Week. “Everybody’s mental health matters, whether civilian or military,” said Hunter. “People need to address it the same way they address it when they need to get stitches. A lot of mental health is undiagnosed and unseen, and I think that’s sad and needs to be fixed. Don’t be afraid to talk about it.” Online programming, including webinars, will be available to the public and can be accessed by emailing Hunter at jaclyn.h@trentonmfrc.ca. For all the programs and services available during Mental Health Awareness Week, visit the MFRC’s Facebook page online or contact the MFRC directly.

Council continues push to recover costs after Lakeside Landing appeal BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Following an incamera session and a visit from Brighton’s solicitor Monday night, council is asking the developer of Lakeside Landing to pay the full costs stemming from a 2016 Ontario Municipal Board appeal. “I don’t know what the chances are that the developer/ the mayor will agree to pay the municipality for the costs of the OMB appeal,” said Councillor Brian Ostrander following the meeting. “But based on conversations, it became clear that if we don’t ask the question, we’ll never get the answer regardless of the apportionment of costs from the OMB.” A motion to send the developer of Lakeside Landing a letter advising of costs for the OMB appeal and asking those costs be paid in full was passed by council with a 5-1 vote Monday. Mayor Mark Walas did not participate in the vote, as he is also a “principal and shareholder” of the Lakeside Landing subdivision. Mary Tadman was the sole councillor to not vote in favour of the motion. The municipality is still waiting on the OMB for a ruling on costs, said Tadman, following Monday’s meeting and as she elaborated on her reasons for not supporting the motion as much as she could. “…We haven’t heard what those costs are and there was no indemnification clause so I don’t know how we can force the developer to pay,” she said. “So I just wasn’t comfortable with the motion that went forward.” Following the in-camera, there was no discussion surrounding any details or new information on the matter of recoverable costs stemming from the hearing. Costs stemming from the appeal were last said to be somewhere in the $50,000-range, though the net cost for the mu-

nicipality as officially reported in January was a little more than $40,000. Further legal advice and fees have been said to continue to drive this number up. No specific number was identified following council’s latest motion. Previously council asked the OMB to make a ruling on costs. CAO Bill Watson confirmed Monday council has still not received that ruling. The hearing conducted through May 20-22, 2016, was a result of an appeal having been filed by four individual resident appellants. The appeal however did not include the developer of Lakeside Landing, as the appeal was against the municipality for its zoning bylaw amendment in regards to the subdivision. And while the appeal was dismissed in the municipality’s favour, it still cost Brighton. Some, like Coun. John Martinello, believe “it’s absolutely reasonable, fair and just” those costs are reimbursed to the municipality and despite the fact that the developer wasn’t technically challenged or a party to the OMB hearing. Ostrander, who seconded the motion, put on the floor by Coun. Steven Baker echoed a similar message Monday. In his opinion, the developer and “development company” for Lakeside Landing gained the most from the municipality defending the appeal and therefore, council should ask for costs, he said. It gets more complicated, as
it was explained at an earlier meeting through Brighton’s solicitor and staff that if anything, typically the unsuccessful party pays or is the party that’s first exposed to costs. With the developer not represented at the hearing, the legal opinion council previously received was that the OMB couldn’t therefore assess the developer costs. Still, the pursuit for a ruling on costs was said to be a stage in the process so council could ask for costs to be recouped from the developer. Council already unanimously agreed that regardless of the OMB’s ruling, Brighton would not seek to recover costs from the appellants. (The OMB can make a ruling on costs, but council doesn’t need to follow that ruling). In recent weeks, Martinello spearheaded a motion to request Brighton’s solicitor return to council to speak to the issue of recoverable costs related to the Councillor John Martinello. appeal. He felt strongly council needed further information on how to proceed and further discussion with the lawyer “and based on that further information, we proceeded as we did tonight,” he said.

Residents still waiting on minister’s decision for help after flooding BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – The municipality will not qualify for disaster relief funding from the province, but residents may still have a chance. As of Tuesday, Sept. 12, the town is still waiting on word from the province as to whether disaster relief funding following recent flooding will be an option for residents. The municipality, on the other hand, has not met eligibility criteria to apply for assistance, CAO Bill Watson has confirmed. “We did our tally of costs, however at this time we had to estimate damages and our estimates came up short,” he said. “So the long and short is that we don’t meet the target.” Municipal staff had to put together a claim for help by Sept. 2. Kent Fitzhugh, a municipal advisor for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing visited Brighton in August, providing an overview of disaster recovery assistance programs. Through the municipal program, the hope was
Brighton might get some financial help recouping costs after flood damages and with expenses for sandbags and the like. With that said, much of the municipality’s labour costs were not eligible through the program, which didn’t help when tallying costs, noted Watson. To qualify for assistance, incremental costs for Brighton had to be equal to three per cent of the municipality’s “own purpose taxation levy.” Fitzhugh had previously estimated costs would then therefore need to be somewhere in the $209,000 range for Brighton to get any help from the province. Ministry representatives toured Brighton and waterfront properties affected by the historic high water levels this year, to complete an assessment in August. Following that tour, a report was filed for the minister’s review. In the event the minister chooses to activate the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program for the area, only then will residents

clear up areas by the bay, said Sparham. Staff has been tracking sandbags going to the landfill, which are being used as cover. Sparham estimates some 35,000-40,000 sandbags have been laid along local shorelines and throughout municipality due to recent flooding. The good news, say staff, is that the Lower Trent Conservation Authority has downgraded its flood warning, to a flood watch for the Lake Ontario shoreline from Grafton to Quinte West and the Bay of Quinte shoreline within Quinte West. The flood warning had previously been in effect since May. The flood watch will be in effect until Sept. 29 or unless updated before. A flood watch is issued when there is potential for flooding to occur in low-lying areas. Nuisance or minor flooding of access roads, backyards or basements is anticipated, but buildings and people are not at risk, reports the authority. “The water level has gone down, so that’s the good thing for us,” said fire chief Lloyd Hutchinson. The fire department is continuing to remove sandbags from the streets and continuing to help with cleanup, alongside public works staff. Hutchinson reminds residents, if they need help disposing of debris, sandbags and the like they should reach out. • Elite • Graber • Hunter Douglas A flood stratCustom Order Blinds & Shutters egy document, provides We Promise Good Quality and Value which guidance for on all Our Window Fashions residents on how to deal 47 B Elizabeth Street with removal of Brighton flood barriers MON-FRI 8:30-5:00, SAT 8:30-3:00 613-475-3349
have the option to apply for financial help. As outlined, there’s been no word from the minister, as of Tuesday, Sept. 12. If the program is activated, residents can submit claims up until 120 days from the date of activation. More information on the relief program, guidelines, what could be eligible and documentation are available at www.mah.gov.on.ca. Residents might want to keep on eye on the site, as areas that have been activated are listed there. As for getting the town back to normal and cleanup following flooding, staff is continuing to clear away debris and sandbags. There is, however, still potential for infrastructure issues down the line and issues staff may not see right away, with the water still relatively high, notes Richard Sparham, manager of public works and environmental services. Recent flooding has certainly put staff behind in terms of normal scheduling and tasks, it’s been a trying summer, admits Sparham. With that said, a large portion of sandbags staff can access have been cleaned up, said the manager. As of Tuesday, Sept. 12, some 216,000 kilograms worth of sandbags had been cleaned up. And there’s still more out there, crews have been working steadily to

Lower Trent flood update Water levels last recorded at Cobourg have dropped about 57 centimetres from the record-setting daily average of 75.88 metres above sea level (masl) established on May 26. As water levels remain 42-centimetres above average for this time, there continues to be a risk of flooding during periods of strong onshore winds and erosion damages from high waves. The Lower Trent Conservation Authority (LTCA) urges residents to exercise caution along the shoreline and while on the water. Unsafe and unstable banks may exist due to recent erosion and high water, the LTCA reports. Wave action has also deposited debris along shorelines and beaches. Floating debris could cause hazardous conditions for boaters. Property owners are reminded any restoration or repair work along the shoreline (placement of fill, armour stone, etc.) will require a permit from the LTCA. People should call 613-394-4829 or visit www.ltc.on.ca for more information. Water level updates are available online as well. If you have concerns about water levels, contact the LTCA.

OPINION
The Car Revolution France and the United Kingdom recently announced that they will ban the sales of gasoline and diesel-engined cars from 2040. The lower house of the Dutch parliament has passed a law banning such sales 2025. India says it Gwynne Dyer from will institute a similar ban by 2030. China, the world’s largest producer of cars – 28 million vehicles last year, more than the United States, Japan and Germany combined – is also planning to declare a ban soon, but is still working on the cut-off date. And in November the European Commission is going to debate a minimum annual quota of electric vehicles (EVs) for all European car producers. So if you were looking for a safe place for a long-term investment, would you choose the oil industry? Just over half of the 98 million barrels of oil produced in the world each day goes directly to making gasoline, used almost exclusively in motor vehicles. Another 15 percent goes to make “distillate fuel oil”, of which at least half is diesel fuel. So around 58 percent of total world oil production is being used in vehicles now. There may be almost none in 35 years’ time. That is certainly the intention of many governments. Britain, for example, is planning to allow only zero-emission vehicles on the road (apart form a few specially-licensed vintage cars) by 2050, only ten years after the ban on selling new cars with internal combustion engines comes into affect. So the production of gasoline- or dieselengined cars will already have collapsed by the late 2030s. In practice, if these deadlines are observed, the cars on sale will be almost entirely EVs by the mid-2030s. And what’s left of the oil industry will have a different shape. Countries that export most of their oil, like Russia and Saudi Arabia, will find their incomes crashing for two reasons: sheer lack of demand, and very low prices ($40 per barrel or less) due to the huge glut of productive capacity. There may also be follow-on political consequences. Countries with some oil production of their own, like the United States and China, may simply stop importing oil entirely. (The United States will remain in the last ditch federally so long as Donald Trump is president – he’s even trying to revive the coal industry – but eight states have already signed an agreement
to have 3.5 million zero-emissions vehicles on the road by 2025.) All this is good news for the environment, and also for the health of people who live in Editorial by John Campbell large cities.

Castleton – Rammed earth structures are “very new” to Ontario but mankind has been building them since ancient times, says Sylvia Cook, president of Aerecura Rammed Earth Builders. She's a passionate advocate of the time-tested method. “We need to change how everybody is building,” Cook said. “We can't keep clear cutting forests to make stick frame houses and we can't keep using cement at the rate that we're using, it's too energy intensive.” The concept is simple: dirt is rammed into forms, and through compaction and the addition of a small amount of Portland cement, it's turned into stone (and then given an interior and exterior finish). It's no different from what Mother Nature does over time, just a lot quicker, Cook said. She and her husband Steve Cavalier live in a rammed earth house the two retired high school teachers built in 2010 on an 11-acre property near Castleton. Theirs was the first of its kind in the province. It was “a big deal doing something that nobody has done before,” Cook

said. “We decided right from the get-go that it wasn't enough to just make one sustainable house” and show that it can be done, so they started a family business and named it after the earth goddess. “Rammed earth is perfect. It's a local material, it doesn't take from the topsoil, (and) there's subsoil everywhere in the world. It's the one thing we're not going to run out of, and you can make beautiful, sustainable walls
The temperature inside their home “doesn't change from the hottest days to the coldest days,” Cook said. Only when there are days without sunshine is a complementary heat source employed. The couple's home will once again be open to the public Sept. 24 as part of a self-guided tour organized annually by the Ontario Natural Building Coalition. The tour will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “The response we get the most (from visitors) is that this is not what (they) were expecting.” Cook suspects they had a “dark hobbit hole” in mind. “It's the most sustainable way to build,” but the top selling feature for those who tour their home is that “it's just so beautiful,” with its cathedral ceiling, open concept and a mezzanine lined with books almost the entire length. “It's important to build with natural materials for human comfort and health but it's also important to build in a way that['s not affecting everything else on the planet,” Cook said. Using abundant top soil to construct houses “is what's going to solve ... climate change,” as far as the build-

The south-facing windows in the 3,500-sq. ft. house serve as the “furnace,” Cook said. “The rammed earth gives the place for the heat of the sun to go.” “As the day gets cooler the heat just slowly seeps out and keeps the ing industry goes. place warm.”

Brighton Tim Hortons supports families living with autism BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Local families living with autism are not alone. Here in Brighton this is the message Tim Hortons staffers have been sharing, as the restaurant kicked off its Smile Cookie campaign on Monday, Sept. 11. “This is something we’re passionate about and want to help with,” said Heather Hamill, who works at the Brighton-based Tim Hortons. Hamill’s son also has autism. The weeklong campaign, which runs in participating restaurants across the nation, asks people to give in to their sweet tooth and indulge in a chocolate chunk Smile Cookie for $1 (plus taxes). Tim Hortons owners then donate the full $1 from each cookie sold back to Canadian charities. From hospitals to food banks and children’s programs, nationally the campaign has supported more than 460 charities since starting in the mid-1990s. An estimated $7 million was raised Grade 10 ENSS student Liam Coghlan gives last year alone.

100 Women help Colborne resident battling cancer BY SARAH HYATT
Sunday, September 24 | 1pm - 4pm
Brighton — Women in Brighton want Nathan Kelly to know he’s not alone in his fight against cancer. “We are very pleased to say that our group has made a contribution to the medical costs of Nathan Kelly of Colborne,” said Priscilla Courtenay, a founding member of the 100 Women Who Care Brighton Chapter, following the group’s latest meeting. The group held its third meeting of the year on Tuesday, Sept. 12, at the Evangel Pentecostal Church. With 55 women making donations, the group is contributing a total of $2,750 to help Kelly and his family with medical costs. Kelly, who has Hodgkin lymphoma, was one of three nominees for the latest meeting. In recent months, fundraising efforts have been underway to help the 24-year-old father and Colborne resident, with his pursuit for a special chemotherapy drug that could cost as much as
$250,000 for eight treatments. But these treatments, recommended by Kelly’s doctor, could give him an 80 per cent chance of remission, said Courtenay, and that’s something the 100 Women Who Care Brighton Chapter want to help with. Last Tuesday, women heard more details about Kelly’s struggles, as is the practice at meetings is for nominated charities and organizations to make a presentation to the group, prior to the women’s vote on where funds should be directed. The VON Adult Day program and the Brighton Children’s Centre were the other nominees at the latest meeting. All three presenters from the group’s chosen charities were “excellent” and very passionate about what their charities do, said Courtenay. The group’s fourth and final meeting of the year is slated for Tuesday, Nov. 7 at 6:30 p.m., at the Evangel Pentecostal Church. “We invite the ladies in Brighton and (from the surrounding)
areas to come out,” said Courtenay. “We plan on having fun. Together, we can make a difference, please join us.” Founders of the group are continuing to call on more local women to join and help the group reach its 100-member milestone. Women may also choose to bring a friend with them to meetings, to see how the group works. Women nominate charities at the meetings and three are randomly drawn thereafter and voted on by the group. Women donate $50 at each meeting, to collectively put forward a larger grant to a charity in need of a financial boost. More information on membership and the group is available via 100womenbrighton. com. Nominees for the next meeting are: Sunny Days day program, the Presqu’ile Lighthouse Preservation Society, VON Brighton and, as an alternate, the Prospect Missionary Community Church in Colborne.

‘Wrong for Each Other’ premières BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Love, marriage, divorce, comedy and drama — the Brighton Barn Theatre’s next and newest production features it all. ‘Wrong for Each Other’ is set to première Friday, Sept. 22. “This play is honest and real and will touch each audience member differently, depending on their own experience,” said Beth Vreugdenhil, director of the show. The production will tell the story of Rudy and Norah, two people who once fell in love, got married and then got divorced. But four years later, a chance meeting in a restaurant sends the pair “flashing back through the highs and lows of their relationship and marriage.” From well-known Canadian playwright Norm Foster and with J. Arthur Middleton producing the show, the story is said to examine and offer a delightful, yet heartbreaking look at the rollercoaster ride of a relationship. “I really like the structure of this play, the way Norm Foster weaves the characters’ memories back to reality,” said Vreugdenhil. “It has required a different approach to directing.” The longtime public school teacher has worked at the barn theatre as both an actor and director in previous years. In 2013, Vreugdenhil directed ‘Blithe Spirit’ and in 2010, ‘Strictly Murder.’ In addition to the roller-coaster ride the comedy-drama production will take attendees on, Vreugdenhil says people can look forward to “excellent chemistry” between performers Chanel Harrigan and Sylvain Duchaine, who play Rudy and Norah. The production will run at the theatre until Saturday, Oct. 7. Tickets are $17.50 each and can be reserved by calling 613475-2144 or by visiting the box office at the Proctor House Museum, between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays. Evening performances at 8 p.m. are on Sept. 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30 and Oct. 5, 6 and 7. Matinee performances at 2 p.m. are scheduled for Sept. 24 and Oct. 1. Through productions like ‘Wrong for Each Other,’ the Brighton Barn Theatre provides financial support for the Save Our Heritage Organization, also known as SOHO. The charitable organization is dedicated to restoring and maintaining the Proctor House Museum. For those who maybe haven’t visited the barn for a theatre production, it truly is “a very special environment,” said Vreugdenhil. “It’s a community, they all are doing what they love. Everyone is supportive and gives me so much freedom to make the dream in my head come true on the stage … they’re ordinary people that together, are doing extraordinary things.” Those eager to see the magic unfold on stage can also visit www.brightonbarntheatre.ca for more information.

Correction In the ‘Applefest set to make a splash in honour of Canada 150’ story in our Sept. 14 edition, the article should have read in regards to the Mayor’s Lighthouse Bike Ride: The organizer is asking residents to join him and Mayor Mark Walas on either a 25-kilometre or five-and-a-half-kilometre ride through town for the event. The Independent regrets the error.

And there is – in my view – a one year-long history, over this past year, of Council being treated like mushrooms in the case of the ongoing sewage plant environmental assessment (EA) process.

does not allow for increased capacity at the sewage plant. At the September 5, 2017, Council meeting, Mayor Walas presented a report about his recent trip to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in Ottawa. At this conference mayors have opportunity to speak to provincial ministers about various issues. At the September 5 Council meeting, I asked Walas if he had spoken to the Minister of Environment & Climate Change about getting money to resolve well-known, longstanding and very costly issues– in the range of millions or tens of millions of dollars - at the sewage plant. What was Mayor Walas’ response to the public & Council? No, he hadn’t spoken to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. And the reason Walas gave for not speaking to the minister? Because he did not have the permission of Council. I believe it is inexcusable that Mayor Walas did not bother
to inform the public and all of Council – until one year after the start of the sewage plant EA and when it was substantially completed – that a Class B EA, instead of the Class C EA that had been approved by Council, would be performed at the sewage plant. And it begs the question. If Walas found it unnecessary to inform the public & Council that the sewage plant EA had been changed from a Class C to Class B EA, how could it be anything but disingenuous, bad excuse when he told the public and Council that he did not speak to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change because he did not have Council’s permission? It is because of this and similar issues – mostly involving a lack of transparency and a failure to keep all members of Council informed – that this Council spends too much time fighting backwards. And this has to stop. John Martinello Brighton

Dishwasher donation benefits meal outreach program BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — A donation from the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund is helping volunteers of the Supper’s Ready program. “We’re all about supporting community organizations that are doing good work in our community,” said Bruce Davis, secretary-treasurer for the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund, on Friday, Sept. 15. On Friday, volunteers of the Supper’s Ready program celebrated the addition of a new dishwasher at the Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church hall, thanks to the donation. Davis and Wayne Jefferson, a member of the board of directors for the community fund, were also in attendance and heard about the impact of the donation. “This is saving us so much time,” said Kim Desmarais, a volunteer with the Supper’s Ready program. Volunteers through the Supper’s Ready program serve about 100 residents free hot meals every Wednesday at the church hall. The new dishwasher is a “wonderful” addition for volunteers, they say and as they put it to use for the first time this month. Kitchen operations are running much smoother and “much more efficiently.” Before, volunteers were handwashing dishes and then running dishes through a dishwasher to sterilize them, said Desmarais, who regularly helps out scrubbing pots and pans. Volunteers are able to get home a littler earlier now, she said. The Supper’s Ready outreach program started a few years back now and is organized through several Brighton churches and other volunteers. Hot meals are served weekly, free of charge, though donations are appreci-

ated to help with the program. Anyone in need of a hot meal is welcome at the church hall and others who are living alone or in need of some company are also welcome. When it first started, the idea for the program was to help address local hunger and help residents who were struggling, said Desmarais. But over the years, the program has evolved and has grown to also offer many seniors a place where they can gather and can make social connections. A “group of widowers” for example, regularly comes out to the Supper’s Ready nights. A team of nurses from the Brighton-Quinte West Family Health Team also comes once a month during the Supper’s Ready nights, to accommodate seniors
and hosts information sessions about health-oriented issues like Alzheimer’s or diabetes. The Supper’s Ready initiative runs every Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m., though doors are usually open around 4:30 p.m. Again, anyone and everyone are welcome and volunteers also try to accommodate and take into consideration things like food allergies or health issues like diabetes, said Desmarais. Volunteers also try to work with what’s in season and do Valentine’s or Thanksgivinginspired meals. The donation of more than $6,000 for the new dishwasher is one of the larger grants given out through the community fund this year. Davis said about four donations thus far have surpassed the $5,000 marker.

The fund previously bore the name of the building the registered charity once owned, the Brighton Health Services Centre, until it was renamed two years ago in honour of Todd, who spearheaded its creation. Earlier this year, Davis announced throughout the history of the fund and with this year’s donations, the total amount given out had reached nearly $300,000. Volunteers of the charitable organization which runs the Supper’s Ready program are just one of many to benefit this year through the community fund. Anyone looking to volunteer or lend a hand with the Supper’s Ready program is invited to visit the church hall on a Wednesday night. Volunteer forms are available then. People of all religious affiliations are welcome and people do not need to have a religious affiliation, noted Desmarais. The Trinity-St. Andrew’s church hall was chosen due its location, as it’s easy for people to get and walk to. People can choose to volunteer once a month or weekly and may wish to help with cleanup or food prep, it’s entirely up to the person, but every little bit helps, said Desmarais. — With files from John Campbell
Brighton’s Own: Meet Mother Nature’s side-kick and local hedge witch BY VIC SCHUKOV
Brighton – Sue Hawley was somehow predestined to be one with Mother Nature. Born in the small town of Comox on the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, she “bounced around Canada” as her Dad was in the military. And talk about left to right coasts, she did her grade 1 in Prince Edward Island and grade 5 in Nova Scotia before the family was transferred back west. “Back on Vancouver Island,” said Hawley, “they gave me a horse, and that really shaped my life by 16. I was out by myself a lot, brought close to plants and nature.” It also fostered a thirst for adventure. At 21, she joined the air force. “It was the best thing that happened to me. I loved it. It built my confidence in the belief that I can help other people. The military gave me a trade in electronics and I stayed for 24 years, based entirely in Ontario.” Her “adventures” included a seven month tour of the war in Yugoslavia. “When I went in, it was called Yugoslavia .When I left, it was Bosnia.” Retired at 45, she followed her heart, and immersed herself in painting nature. “I painted myself into an epiphany. One day, God said to me, ‘Don’t paint about the land. Dig. Just do.’ I moved to a 100-year old farm in Brighton 22
years ago. I started with two chickens. I cried the first time she laid me an egg. It was like love in a bundle.” It was not long before she had 50 chickens. “I decorated the chicken coop with Barbie dolls. I wanted them all to be female (laughing.) And I had two sheep. No lawn mower. The sheep cut the grass.” (How cool is that?) Starting in the 1980’s, she would mountain bike in the woods, photographing flowers, and looking them up in the library. She noticed that some had medicinal values. From there, she started studying permaculture, the art of living in conjunction with nature. “I used what nature gave me in the way it was intended, with double purpose, recycling.” Hawley made her own all-natural counterparts to antiseptics, treating her animals with herbs. She now cultivates over 50 types of herbs. “They are my coterie of magic plants. I have been called a hedge witch which I really like, someone who gets these beneficial plants from hedge rows.” On top of that, she is a Renaissance person. Hawley built her own generator from scratch. We sat and had some of her horse tail tea which she described as “a terrible garden weed but good for collagen and repair of bones and tissue.”
She is constantly learning from nature. “The most healing herb I deal with is plantain, an innocuous weed you can find in everyone’s lawn. They call it white man’s footprint because it grows where you walk. The settlers brought it here originally. It is incredibly nutritive. Livestock love it. I study what my animals choose to eat, and they always pick what’s good for them.” Three years ago she started packaging her herbs under the name of Hawley Gardens. Her philosophy on life: “We must learn to live more in sync with what Mother Nature provides us. It warms my heart to make things that help people, and they come back and say this and that worked. I encourage people to think outside of the box. I also offer herb walks, and share my recipes. Knowledge is meant to be shared with others.” Visit Hawley Gardens on Facebook. She is open every Tuesday, and is at Codrington Market every Sunday. For more info call 613-475-5685. (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a Sue Hawley shown here at home with some of her herbs.

Trenton Health Hub awaits Candles for overnight vigil will be available at Applefest approval from Ministry of Health BY JOHN CAMPBELL
BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – The fate of a Trenton Health Hub is in the hands of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Currently, multiple proposals for the hub are before the ministry. Sheila Braidek, executive director of the Belleville and Quinte West Community Health Centre (CHC), said CHC is planning to build its new building in Trenton as the first phase of construction of the hub. Moving the Quinte West location of the CHC, currently located on Murphy Street in Trenton, is long overdue, she said. “We need a permanent space, the facility that we have on Murphy Street is actually a series of temporary buildings, trailers, that are put together, so it was originally intended as a short-term, two-year solution and it’s been close to seven years now,” she said. Building a new facility would allow CHC to proceed with its already approved building project and be the anchor for the Trenton Health Hub. Following that, other health and community services could be brought into the hub as part of Phase 2, said Braidek. A proposal has been submitted to the ministry for a decision on whether land owned by Quinte Health Care (QHC) on Catherine Street, next to Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH), is the appropriate site for the hub. “Part of the consideration of that is wanting to ensure that, if the hub goes there, that there’s still space for a future hospital development, if that comes to pass sometime
in the next 20 years or so,” said Braidek. The QHC board has approved the donation of the land on Catherine Street in principle, providing certain conditions are met and the site is the confirmed location of the future Trenton Health Hub. An application for capital funding has also been submitted to the ministry, for the development of housing agencies not part of the CHC portion of the hub. Agencies currently planning to locate programs alongside CHC in the hub include: South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) Home and Community Care, Victorian Order of Nurses, Addictions and Mental Health Services – Hastings Prince Edward and the Brighton and Quinte West Family Health Team. If the proposals become approved, the next step in the process would be to create a detailed business plan, said Braidek. Locating primary healthcare services and community care services under one roof is a step in the right direction to improve health care in the community, said Braidek. “I think that’s the most exciting part of this whole hub initiative,” she said. “I think that there are some things we could do differently and together that would increase the volume of services that are offered in the community and just the ease of the experience, improve the individual client experience.” Having co-ordinated services would help people navigate the health system easier, said Braidek.
“It’s one more step in an overall effort to better integrate and collaborate so that there is a more coherent systems approach to providing health care services in our communities,” she said. “It’s an exciting project, it’s slower going than I think everybody would like but everybody that’s involved is working very hard on it and I think it’s going to be a great outcome for the community.” The CHC has been designated as the lead agency for the Trenton Health Hub. The planning of the Trenton Health hub is based on a report from the Trenton Memorial Hospital Implementation Task Force. The task force, created by the South East LHIN, held its first meeting in January 2016 to address recommendations made in a report by the Brighton-Quinte West Health Services Advisory Committee, chaired by Glen Rainbird, also known as the Rainbird report. The Rainbird report had several recommendations, including a recommendation to significantly enhance the degree of collaboration between local care providers and to co-locate local-health care services at TMH. Partners in the hub planning process have included: The South East LHIN, the Victorian Order of Nurses, Addictions and Mental Health Services‐Hastings Prince Edward, the Brighton Quinte West Family Health Team, Our TMH and the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Brighton – Buy a candle, help a veteran, support the community. It’s simple, really, and tying it altogether is Branch 100 of the Royal Canadian Legion which informally launched its 9th annual Candlelight Vigil/Remembrance Day campaign Monday at the Cenotaph. Branch president Greg Kobold presented Mayor Mark Walas with the first candle. The official kick-off will take place at Applefest this weekend when the legion will have a booth selling candles for the candlelight vigil that will be held prior to the Re-
membrance Day ceremony. The branch has 650 candles available to the public for a minimum donation of $5 apiece. The campaign will continue until Oct. 28, at which time the legion will begin its poppy campaign. The money raised goes into the Poppy Fund and is used to support veterans and their dependants as well as community programs and institutions. “We do make donations to the hospital ... (and) we make large donations to the Ontario Charitable Foundation, of which I am a district director,” Kobold said. “Hospitals can make ap-
plication to that for larger sums of money for big ticket items.” The legion also supports local students with bursaries. Kobold said the branch spends between $10,000 and $15,000 annually from the Poppy Fund in the community. Walas said the campaign is “an opportunity for all of us to reflect on the significance and the importance ... (of legions) and the great work they do. “We have a very strong legion here (and its) veterans are very active,” and supported by the community in their various endeavours, he said.

Stars set sights on making playoffs for first time BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Colborne – The new head coach of the Northumberland Stars is sounding confident the team will win 17 to 22 games this season and make the playoffs in the South Division of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League. That's a step up from 2016-17 when the team finished in 10th spot with a record of 11-29-2, in what was Jason Armstrong's first season with the team as an assistant coach. The team has got off to a good start, winning its first two games, 7-5 over the Oshawa RiverKings and 6-4 over the London Lakers. “London was one of the top four teams in our division last year so that will be a good benchmark to see how far we've come from last season to this season,” he said prior to the match. The team will play three more times on the road before its home opener at the Keeler Centre against the RiverKings Oct. 13,
with a 7:30 p.m. start time. Just 26 himself, Armstrong is not that much older than the players whose ages range from 16 to 21. “I can relate to them a little better than most so that definitely helps,” Armstrong said. “All my players will know where they stand with me. I won't sugarcoat anything. I will tell them as it is.” The roster he's put together “has a lot of speed and ... some size,' he said, so he plans to make use of a “hybrid system” that combines swiftness and physical play. Veteran Curtis Campbell made 27 saves in the win over Oshawa. Evan Wasylyk led the attack with two goals and three assists, while Tyler McGregor collected a goal and two helpers. The other scorers were Owen Walsh, Andrew Pankhurst, Doug Andrews and Tyler Brackin. Brackin was the offensive star in the team's second victory, registering a hattrick and drawing an assist.
Matt Davies, Walsh and Robert James had the other goals. Campbell turned aside 32 shots. Campbell is one of 10 players on the team who were members of last year's squad. “It gives me a good core to work with,” Armstrong said. “Guys already know the system, they know what's expected, and they can relay that to the rest of the team ... I'm not asking for perfection, I'm asking for a perfect effort.” Home games have been moved from Wednesday nights to a mix of Friday and Saturday nights.

G-Hawks take home first win of the season BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton — The Trenton Golden Hawks won their first game of the season in game three, beating the Whitby Fury 6-4 at home on Friday Sept. 15. The Jr. A team impressed the home crowd with a stellar first period, scoring three goals. Although the shots were even 9-9 in the first, the Hawks came out ahead as captain Mac Lewis put the first goal on the board four minutes in with a short-handed goal, assisted by Cal Walker and assistant captain Michael Silveri. Silveri scored the next goal seven minutes later, assisted by Lewis and Gage Stephney. Lewis scored his second goal of the period on the power play with 46 seconds remaining, assisted again by Silvery and assistant captain Brandon Marinelli. Trenton kept it rolling in the second period and scored two quick goals. Caleb Boman scored the first on a power play just one minute into the period, assisted by Maz Ewart and Marinelli. Rex Moe scored his first of the game on the power play five minutes later, assisted by Ewart and Jake Behse. With Trenton up 5-0, Brock Welsh put the fury on the board almost nine minutes into the second, assisted by Austin Ramirez. Whitby finished the period on a high note with the team’s second goal, scored by Patrick Demaio and assisted by Ramirez and Noah Bull. Whitby’s Shane Bull kicked off the third period with a quick goal, assisted by Jef-
frey Guald, bringing the score to 5-3 for the Hawks. Moe scored Trenton’s sixth goal assisted by Zach Senecal halfway through the period and Whitby’s Riley McCutcheon scored the final goal of the game with 10 seconds remaining, bringing the final to 6-4 for the Hawks. Whitby incurred 12 penalty minutes on six infractions and Trenton spent 10 minutes in the box on five infractions. G-Hawks goaltender Carson Poulin saved 29 out of 33 shots and Whitby’s Nate McDonald saved seven out of 11 and then Luke Pearson made 24 saves on 26 shots. Trenton’s next home game will be a special one as it is the annual Purple in the Rink game in support of the Children’s Foundation. Purple in the Rink will be held on Friday Sept. 29 at 7:30 p.m. against the Cobourg Cougars.

Race 1 of the Go Nuclear Late Model Series and Comp 4 / Mini Stocks will also be on the card along with Pro Stocks and the second visit of the season by the Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club. On Saturday night racing begins at 6 p.m. and will feature the return of the DIRTcar 358 Modifieds as they compete in the $5,000 to win, 75 lap Applefest Shootout. The 50-lap Great Crate Race will also take place for the Go Nuclear Late Models. The winner of that event will walk away with $4,000. The evening will also include three $1,000-to-win races as DIRTcar Sportsman Series will return along with the finale for the Quad Track Duel on the Dirt Pro Stock Series and the Canadian Modifieds. Five drivers have etched their name in the DIRTcar 358 Modified portion of the Applefest Shootout history books.
In 2016 Erick Rudolph became the event’s only three-time winner (2014, 2015, 2016). Two drivers have won the event twice, including Mario Clair (2007, 2013) and Pete Bicknell (2008, 2010). Kyle Dingwall won the inaugural event in 2005 and Tim O’Brien picked up a victory in 2011. The race was rained out in 2006, 2009 and 2012. Nine different drivers have won the DIRTcar Sportsman part of the event. Cody McPherson (2012, 2016) and Gary Lindberg (2014, 2015) are the only two drivers to have won twice. A total of six different drivers including Martin Pelletier (2016), Shane Pecore (2013), Chris Herbison (2010), Nic Cupolo (2009), James Michael Friesen (2008) and Mark D’Ilario (2007) also have a single win in the Sportsman race at Applefest. The Great Crate Race has seen four different winners over the first five editions of the race. Charlie Sanderock is the most recent winner and has managed to claim the checkers in back to back years (2015, 2016). Dale Caswell of West Monroe, N.Y. is the only other repeat winner with back-to-back wins in 2013 and 2014. Lee Gill of Lafargeville, N.Y. won the inaugural race in 2011 while Chuck Meyers claimed the victory in 2012. Additional event information is available at www.brightonspeedway.ca

Food Trucks unite for the United Way Event helps towards $1.97M goal BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton – Food Trucks united people in support of the United Way Hastings and Prince Edward during the third annual event on Saturday Sept. 16. Presented by Hanon Systems, the annual event drew thousands of people out to enjoy some good food on a sunny afternoon in Centennial Park in Trenton. Jodi Cooper, director of marketing and digital communications for the United Way, said the event was bigger and better this year. “We’ve got more food trucks than ever, more vendors than ever, the local craft breweries, wine, cider, our kids zone is bigger and better than ever so we’re really excited about that, it really is a fantastic event and a great opportunity for us to get out into the community and showcase what we do,” she said. With a $2 admission fee, Food Trucks United is an event to help the United Way meet its recently announced 2017 campaign goal, set at $1,970,000. The United Way will financially assist about 37 community agencies,

which will help support about 40,000 individuals through 75 programs locally, said Cooper. “I think this event has a huge impact because it really is community focused, it’s open to everyone, family friendly, pet friendly, so everyone is out here and that has a huge impact on our whole fundraising campaign,” she said. The United Way fundraising campaign will run until the end of December. Boaters Maren and Christopher Boothby from New Hampshire were out to grab some food at the event after staying at the Trent Port Marina before making their way up the TrentSevern. “We thought we would stay here for an extra day and it worked out great, the food is wonderful, the weather is great,” said Christopher Boothby. Maren said their experience at the Trent Port Marina was amazing, prompting them to stay an extra day and explore the Front Street Farmers’ Market, Quinte West Doors Open event and the Food Trucks United event. “Everyone is super nice, the marina is a great location too because you can

Maren and Christopher Boothby enjoy food from T Dot’s Naansense food truck during Food Trucks United on Saturday Sept. 16. Erin Stewart/Metroland walk to Front Street and explore the whole town,” she said. “I would say we’re definitely coming back, we will be back next summer too.” Haines Jones, chef and owner of T Dot’s Naansense food truck, has attended Food Trucks United since it
began three years. “We didn’t know what to expect because we come from Toronto, we were skeptical at first to be honest but we came down here and the energy from people was amazing, they were just so nice, we loved it, we got a good response and now we’re back,” he said.
Jones said it was awesome to see so much support for a food trucks event and, with all the love and hard work he puts into his food, he said it’s nice to have such a positive response. Having done multiple United Way See ‘United Way’ Page B4

Agricultural Hall of Fame honours new inductees BY TERRY MCNAMEE
Stirling – Six new members joined the Quinte Agricultural Hall of Fame in a ceremony held Sunday at Farmtown Park in Stirling. The event, which began in 2006, honours people for their contributions to agriculture and the food industry in the counties of Hastings, Prince Edward, Northumberland and Lennox & Addington. The ceremony was held in the park’s Heritage Village. “(It was) a great day.” said emcee Wayne Martin. “Nominees for this year who didn’t make it are eligible to be re-nominated next year.” Norm McWaters of Belleville spent much of his career in the dairy industry with Agriculture Canada as a cheese grader and dairy products inspector in various parts of Ontario. After retiring to Belleville, he became secretary-treasurer of the Central Ontario Cheesemakers’ Association, and he still grades cheese for three eastern Ontario cheesemakers. A few years ago, a cheese he selected for Empire Cheese to enter in the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto won the Grand Champion title. His retirement hobby is beekeeping, and he is secretary of the Quinte Beekeepers Association and vice-president of the Ontario Beekeepers Association. McWaters also has a strong connection to Farmtown Park, where he was the first curator. He set up the cheese factory display and has donated many items to the museum. He also served as a municipal councillor in Thurlow prior to its amalgamation with Belleville. Keith and Marjorie Donnan of Hastings County bought their first farm in 1960-61 and were heavily involved in the dairy industry. Marjorie, who passed away in 2016, was involved in CANFARM, an early attempt by the government at creating a computerized farm records system, was secretary-treasurer of the Hastings County Holstein Club and served two four-

year terms as a member of the Ontario Farm Markets Marketing Commission. Keith served in several positions with both the local Holstein club, Dairy Herd Improvement and Holstein Canada, and has judged the breed all over the world. Their farm received a Master Breeders Award in 1989. The Donnans have hosted two Hastings County Ploughing Matches, several Holstein Twilight Meetings and 4-H. They also were heavily involved in church activities and mission work. Douglas Lyal Parks (1918-1992), born in Prince Edward County, was a farmer, scientist, writer and teacher whose life was spent on crop improvement.

After farming a short time, he worked as chief instructor and extension specialist in field husbandry at Kemptville Agricultural School, then was director of the soils and crops branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. After that, he served from 1963 to 1973 as Deputy Minister of Agriculture in the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture, then moved back to Prince Edward County to farm. His book on crop production in eastern Canada was published by McClelland and Stewart in 1955. Parks received many awards and citations for his work as a soil and crop specialist and was inducted into the On-
tario Agricultural Hall of Fame in 1998. He and his wife Hazel were active in the United Church and the Rotary Club. At the ceremony, he was represented by John, one of their five sons. Thomas Glenfield (Glen) Cole (1908-1990), who was represented by his son Allan, was born in Northumberland County. He was involved with the Ontario Cream Producers’ Board and was a founding member of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. After retiring from that board in 1971, he served on the board and later as president of the Dairy Farmers of Canada and for many years was a member of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. For 20 years, Cole served on the Bewdley Public School Board and a term on the Hamilton Township Planning Board. He was choir director at Plainview United Church his whole adult life, taught Sunday school, sang in the barbershop choir in Port Hope and also sang in the Northumberland Philharmonic Choir in Cobourg. He was a recipient of the Ontario Bicentennial Medal. Eric S.J. Kaiser was raised in Prince Edward County and served four years in the Canadian Armed Forces. After that, he developed a poultry-crop operation in Adolphus Township at his Kaiser Lake Farms. He is recognized as an innovator in crop production, soil health and an early adopter of no-till cropping with an emphasis on drainage, erosion control and manure management. His farm has hosted many field days and experiments studying soil compaction, cover crop systems and related topics and is a noted speaker on these issues, both in Ontario and across Canada. He has chaired the L and A Soil and Crop Association, was director of the Innovative Farmers’ Association of Ontario and was named a Soil Champion for both Ontario and Canada. He was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Napanee Rotary Club.
Avro Arrow test model found in water near PEC BY MAKALA CHAPMAN
Members of a Canadian search team are celebrating after achieving something many before have tried but failed to do — locate one of the original test models of the Avro Arrow. In a news conference held in Toronto Sept. 8, OEX Recovery Group’s Raise the Arrow expedition team unveiled a series of photos and videos captured from the bottom of Lake Ontario near Point Petre. Covered in hundreds of zebra mussels and other debris, the footage depicts the outline of a triangularly-shaped object resting peacefully on its backside. Expedition leader John Burzynski said once the crew’s remotely operated vehicle came across the object, they were 99 per cent certain they’d found what they had been looking for. Sonar imagery was sent down to investigate the one-eighth scale replica before confirming the find. “Discovering the first plane is one thing,” he said. “There was no guarantee that we would even find one.” Between 1954 and 1957, nine test models of the Avro Arrow were launched over Lake Ontario before the aviation program, supporting the construction of the aircraft, was cancelled. Now almost 60 years after the fact, the debated aircraft is back in the limelight. Burzynski added that with this discov-

ery, the hope of finding the other models becomes more realistic. “Now we know about the area that they would of all come raining down into the lake,” he said. “We are certainly right in the heart of the system right now
and that’s exactly where we were hoping to be.” In addition, the Avro enthusiast noted that the expedition has revealed a different and equally exciting find that he deemed a “discovery within a discovery.”

On top of the nine models resting in Lake Ontario, and the two that were tested in Virginia back in the 1950s, Burzynski said more test models had been fired than originally thought. “It turns out that they had some pretests to test the rockets and the rocket rigs, which had models on them as well,” he said. “We’re not sure how many, but there are more targets out there than what we were initially looking for.” He said if he were to guess, he imagined 15 additional models could be at the bottom of the lake due to the number of booster rockets and other debris the team have found. As for the expedition’s prized discovery, which still is currently on the floor of Lake Ontario, Burzynski said a team of divers will be sent down in the next two weeks to inspect it. “They’re going to cut away some of the zebra mussels as part of their investigation of it so they can figure out how to lift it and what condition it is in,” he said. “Ultimately we’ll know for sure once we bring it up to the surface.” Concrete plans for when the test model will be brought out of the water have not yet been made. Until then, the expedition team said they are in the process of continuing their search for other models and currently have around 200 objects of interest to investigate.

Low-cost rabies vaccinations a wise use of funds BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Northumberland County – There's more reason than usual to get pets vaccinated against rabies at clinics later this month: Ontario has seen a more than 10-fold increase in the number of rabies cases. Last year, 288 cases of rabies were confirmed in the province, compared to only 24 cases in 2015, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said there has been 88 rabies cases recorded in Ontario in 2017 through the end of July. “With the rapid rise in rabies cases found in wildlife certain parts of Ontario over the past
two years, it’s even more important to get your pets vaccinated,” Md Azad, a public health inspector with the The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, said in a news release. “Rabies is fatal, so getting pets vaccinated is an important part of caring for animals and being a responsible pet owner. In this area, it’s also mandatory for pet owners to get their cats and dogs vaccinated for rabies.” The health unit and local veterinarians are teaming up to provide low-cost rabies vaccination clinics on Saturday, Sept. 30, in Brighton, Campbellford, Cobourg and Port Hope. An
early clinic is also set for Saturday, September 23, in Perrytown. The cost is $30 per animal (cash only). No examination of the animal will take place at the clinic, and participating veterinarians ask that dogs be on leashes and cats in carriers. Hrushy Veterinary Housecall Services will hold a clinic at the Codrington Fire Hall (County Road 27) from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. English Line Veterinary Services will host a clinic at 527 County Road 38 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. In the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge area, rabies were found last year only in three
bats, not domestic animals, Azad said in an interview. The annual clinics are having “a positive impact” because no domestic animals exposed to rabies showed signs of the disease when tested. About 2,000 cats and dogs are vaccinated each year in the district — 2,160 animals in 2014 and 1,926 animals in 2015. Azad noted that some municipalities require proof of vaccination before issuing licences to pet owners for their animals. For more information on the clinics or rabies prevention, call the health unit on 1-866-8884577 or visit www.hkpr.on.ca.

in May,” he said. “It’s a good charity, they’ve done a lot of things, it’s supporting the community and we feel like we want to put ourselves behind this because community is the number one thing and helping people is the number one thing, so it’s just a good thing for us to do.” Launching a food truck made sense to expand the Burger Revolution business, he said, which has now led to catering opportunities and events. “If people can’t come to Belleville at least we can go wherever they are and still deliver the same type of food we’re serving in Belleville,” he said, adding being part of the food truck culture is a positive experience. “We always knew that food trucks would blow up soon, it took a little longer than we thought it would for gourmet trucks but we’re happy to be a part of it because we know the stuff that we offer is along the same line of the food trucks from Toronto or Ottawa or Kingston.”

fundraising events in Toronto, Jones said it’s important to do things for others. “It’s nice to be doing something for someone else, it’s a nice thing to do and we feel good leaving from here,” he said. T Dot’s Naansense food truck will definitely be back next year, he said, as they look forward to the event every year. “We keep all of our other events to the side so we can come here, people call us and try to book us for this day but we have to say sorry, we already have an event,” he said. Belleville’s Burger Revolution attended the event for the first year after recently acquiring a food truck. Jeff Camacho, owner of Burger Revolution, said that he knew he always wanted to be a part of the event and was finally able to be involved this year. “This was the year, our food truck launched

Province ponies up $5.1 million Meeting to focus on bridging the distance for local homelessness BY JACK EVANS
A celebratory air dominated the Hastings County Council Chambers Sept. 12 as news of a provincial commitment of almost $5,100,000 was announced to address homeless issues in the county. The funds are under the province’s new “Home for Good” program, an attempt to eradicate homelessness in Ontario by 2025. Locally, the money will be directed to 40 supportive-housing units throughout the county. There was no indication where those units will be built or if they will be created in one or more locations. The spectator gallery was almost full in anticipation of the announcement, which the county’s joint Community and Human Services Committee first recommended for approval only a few weeks ago. The letter from Peter Milczyn, Minister of Housing, stated his office “received 46 strong proposals from service managers. I am pleased to advise you that the County of Hastings proposal was successful and has been approved for funding as indicated.” The amounts listed were $5,097, 607 for capital costs for the 40 units and about $1.5 million for the first three years of operation, part of a long term commitment for the province to pay fully for operations into the future. The county is expected to contribute up to $1.6 million toward the capital costs of creating the housing units. Warden Rodney Cooney, in making the announcement, said, “This is a great day for Hastings County.” He also recognized that the application’s success involved a co-operative effort by several county and community agencies. Cooney invited comments from representatives of those agencies, including Police Chief Ron Gignac, who testified that homelessness issues resulted in 826 calls for assistance to his department last year alone. He said it was a problem that had to be dealt with and something got done. “This is
a major step forward,” he concluded. Belleville Fire Chief Mark MacDonald said the urgency to address a serious homelessness issue here was touched off with the closure of the Bell Marine residence on Dundas Street East in Belleville. He said he was amazed by how county social services workers pulled together a team of various agencies in the community to cooperate on resolving the issue, and then followed through with a successful application for new supportive housing units. The key problem is a safe place for shelter, MacDonald stressed. Gary Laws from the Addictions Foundation also stressed that safe, adequate shelter is a key component in dealing with his type of problems. He said that in preparation for the new units, his agency will now start to hire and train specialized staff to work with residents of the new residences. County CAO Jim Pine reminded that “other communities today did not get the same kind of letter,” and said the new project is “a giant step forward.” He thought the key reason for the county’s success was the detailed preparation and the working together by so many different agencies and departments. To help cover early development costs, the committee also approved a recommendation to county council to apply for “seed funding” from the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Funds of up to $50,000 are available as a non-repayable contribution under the program. There are no indications yet where any of the housing units will be built will actually be built. Erin Rivers, director of the Community and Human Services Department, asked about how many more units might be needed to solve the local homeless problem, said, “I don’t think we’ll ever have enough housing of this type, but this project will make a huge dint in the problem.”

The roundtable group formed in 2013 to look at things that can be done to address the causes of poverty and to broaden the community’s capacity to do so by working together. The group is made up of approximately 400 members from across Hastings and Prince Edward counties. Members come from social and health services, faith communities, business sectors, municipalities and community members interested in both ending poverty and improving prosperity for all. Quarterly, the Roundtable hosts public meetings to create opportunities to learn and to push for improvements to reduce poverty in our communities. The next public meeting is slated to take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on September 27, at St. Paul’s United Church, 1 Hastings Street, Bancroft.
The meeting will focus on bridging the distance – and building on rural and urban work and action to address inequality in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. North Hastings Community Trust is hosting the roundtable. Recent census data indicates an increase in low incomes across much of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. In 2015, 17.6 per cent were in low income, while in 2005, 14.7 per cent of persons in Belleville lived in low income. In 2015, 13.5 per cent were in low income, while in 2005, 12.7 per cent of the persons in Prince Edward County lived in low income2. In 2015, 25.4 per cent of the persons in Bancroft lived in low income. Provincially 14.4 per cent of the population is living in low income. The meeting is open to the public and the Poverty Roundtable HPE encourages all community members to attend. There is no cost to attend. Contact Tanya Dutton at tanya@povertyroundtablehpe.ca or (613) 779-7477.
CHILDHOOD CANCER ONGOING RESEARCH With the support of our generous donors, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has invested more than $50 million in research to help children fight and survive cancer over the last 15 years. Dr Sumit Gupta fromThe Hospital for Sick Children was awarded a CCS Quality of Life Research Grant in 2016. Currently Dr. Gupta is looking into the risk of mental health side effects as a result of childhood cancer. It’s devastating to learn that your child has been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer affects both the child and their family. Little is known about the long term impact of childhood cancer on the mental health of survivors and their families. Dr. Gupta is examining Ontario health records to assess whether childhood cancer survivors, their mothers and their siblings are more likely to experience mental health issues as adults, compared to the public. This work may identify groups of people at risk for mental health challenges and can inform the design of resources to help.
With the support of a CCS Prevention Research Grant awarded in 2014, Dr Rod Bremner from Mount Sinai Hospital is looking into preventing cancers caused by a defective gene. Some genes, known as tumour suppressors, play an important role in preventing cancer. When these tumour suppressor genes are defective, cancer can grow. RB1 is one of these genes – in nearly all cancers, RB1 is defective. Infants with this defective gene are prone to an eye cancer called retinoblastoma, and many other cancers later in life. Dr Bremner has identified drugs that counteract the cancer causing proteins that take advantage of defective RB1. He has developed an eyedrop to optimize drug delivery. His ongoing research is testing whether this eyedrop can block the development of retinoblastoma. Given the widespread importance of RB1, this research could lead to ways to prevent many other types of cancer.

At the 2017 World Crokinole Championship decided to host an annual World Crokinole Championship, to honour the area invention, and it takes place on the first Saturday of June each year. I decided to attend the event, held in the Tavistock & District Recreation Centre, and I was certainly surprised to find that the arena floor was packed with avid crokinole players. In fact, more than 450 players were there, and some spectators as well, and the event ran from 8:30 am well into the late evening. It’s a full day that escalates in tension as it goes on, culminating with the evening singles finals (and its $1,000 cash prize). For the past few years, the singles final has been a battle of young, highly ranked players, but this year saw an older veteran (Robert Bonnett of Wingham, Ont.) take the top prize. He defeated Jon Conrad of Milverton (a two-time World Champion) in a very close final. Robert humbly stated: “I think I was just lucky.” More than 80 competitors battled in the adult singles category. Pre-tournament favourite (and last year’s champion) Justin Slater was eliminated in the playoff round, but he still received the trophy for the most twenties (104). I spoke with Nathan Walsh, a committee member and promotions person for this year’s event - and a top player himself - and I asked him about any unusual tournament events that have taken place over the EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO years. He recalled the World ChamEXCELLENCE pionship of 2006, when Jason BeiDiefenbunker Canada’s Cold War Museum ................................

As a youngster, I can remember playing this rather strange board game called Crokinole. My sister and parents would take turns shooting discs across the circular playing surface, trying to knock away opposing discs and having our discs land as close as possible to the board’s centre. As the years passed, my children and grandchildren would play this game, once in a while, with my mom or an aunt, and a crokinole board has remained in the family to this very day. It has not been used very often, but it’s still there as an option. This past spring, I just happened to read about the World Crokinole Championship that was to be held in Tavistock, and I decided that that would be a rather unique event to cover. Apparently craftsman Eckhardt Wettlaufer made the first crokinole board in 1876, near Tavistock, Ont., as a fifth birthday present for his son. That board is now to be found in Kitchener’s Joseph Schneider Haus Museum, a national historic site. Tavistock eventually

est competitor (89), and Rachel Beierling was the youngest (5). I met Sherill Calder at the registration desk on tournament day, and she was also able to provide me with some additional interesting facts about the big event. There were players in attendance from all across Canada, from Newfoundland to British Columbia, including a record number from PEI (11). There were also players from 8 states in the U.S. In the past, she said that competitors have also come from such countries as Germany, France, Scotland, England, Chile, and Australia. There were no international competitors this year, but she pointed out that a real positive this time was that a record setting “31 per cent of the players were new to the tournament this year.” Although the big event appears to be the adult singles category, there are several others, including intermediate, recreational, and junior singles. There are also cue singles and doubles (played with a short cue and a lazy susan-style crokinole board) and some regular crokinole doubles categories, too. I was
particularly interested in watching the doubles event, for I discovered that a father and son from Belleville, David and Matt Brown, were competing (and finished in a very respectable 8th place).
The Belleville Connection I learned that Belleville has a crokinole club, and it hosts an annual crokinole tournament each September. This year it will be held on Sept. 23 at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre, so here’s an opportunity to see some of these competitors in action. I also discovered that the Belleville stop is just one of several on the crokinole circuit, for these players compete in several Ontario destinations each year (including Owen Sound, London, St. Jacobs, and Hamilton).

Want to see more wildlife on your land? Since 2007, Forests Ontario has been helping landowners to attract more “nature” to their land with the 50 Million Tree Program. Over the life of this program, more than 22 million trees have been planted on private land, and most landowners have cited the attraction of wildlife as their prime reason for signing up with the program. Landowners with a minimum of 2.5 acres (one hectare) of plantable land may be eligible for this incentive program. “Many trees provide pollen and nectar for bees and other pollinators early in the spring before fruit trees and plants flower. Adding trees to my land was beneficial for my bees, and trees are also important because they provide homes for nesting birds and animals,” says Forests Ontario green leader, Karin Tomosky. Animals large and small can benefit from the presence of trees, which provide a potential food source, as well as protection from predators and severe weather. Expanding the tree cover on a property can create habitat for wildlife — and can quickly start to attract birds, small mammals and pollinators. As well, forested riparian (shoreline) areas are important for their combination of improving water quality, reducing streambank erosion and providing cover to a host of land and aquatic creatures. Through the 50 Million Tree Program, landowners are able to access funding support of up to 75 per cent of total planting costs as well as ongoing forest management assistance. A local planting partner — an experienced forestry professional — will work

with you to create a plan that suits your property’s unique needs and help improve the value of your land. Fall is prime time for the planting partners to visit landowners to evaluate their properties for the 50 Million Tree Program. Interested landowners should act now to set up a site visit. This allows time for site preparation before trees are planted in the spring. To submit an application, visit forestsontario.ca/50MTP. For additional questions, contact the forestry outreach co-ordinator, Suzanne Perry, at 1-877-646-1193 ext. 239 or at sperry@forestsontario.ca.

Definition needs to change: chamber BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Trent Hills – Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce doesn’t like the way the federal government defines small business. Its definition, 100 or fewer employees, “is too broad,” says THCC chair Jeff Hamilton. It’s businesses with one to 19 employees “that are vital to small towns and villages across rural Canada, and they create that smalltown community atmosphere within large urban centres,” he said in a news release. Those same businesses were responsible for 87.7 per cent of the change in net employment – 1.2 million jobs overall – that took place between 2005 and 2015, according to the Key Small Business Statistics Report published in June 2016.
A more accurate definition of what a small business is is important because members are telling the chamber how difficult it is to navigate government websites, regulations and legislation “without the human resources department that larger companies often have,” Hamilton said. “The current programming available for small business is very limited if you not an exporter, in the technology sector or conduct research and development. Creating a new focus and priority for this business category is key to making changes.” Trent Hills is working with other chambers in the area “to achieve our goal,” Hamilton said. “Our next step is for the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce (CCC) to adopt our policy as a resolution for advocacy.” THCC executive director Nancy Allanson said she will be attending the annual general meeting of the CCC in New Brunswick later this month to speak on behalf of the policy resolution. Getting the Northumberland Central, Port Hope and District, Brighton/Cramahe and Greater Peterborough chambers of commerce to co-sponsor the policy resolution “was key” in getting it “to this stage of the process,” she said. The Trent Hills chamber received an award to cover the entire cost to attend the AGM and conference “thanks to the generosity of conference sponsors.”
GET READY FOR FALL Judges Paul Garbett, left, and Steve Snider, flank first prize winner of $2,000, Judy Harper of Oshawa. Jack Evans/Metroland BY JACK EVANS
Dozens of people vied for cash rewards totalling several thousand dollars during the plein air painting festival earlier this month. From the nooks and corners throughout Belleville, local and visiting artists took part in the festival which ran Sept. 7-9. The festival was a Quinte Arts Council 50th anniversary project. At the wrap-up reception in the Parrott Gallery Sunday afternoon, competitors got to hear the professional judges render their verdicts, often adding some constructive critiques. The judges were Paul Garbett, Coopers Falls, and Steve Snider, who testified they had tough decisions to make and praised the high calibre of paintings entered. Quinte Arts Council officials said there were 27 artists in adult categories plus more than double that for student artists. With prizes at $2,000 for the first place open category winner, one of the luckiest entries was from a five-year-old girl who won the elementary age prize of $200.

“Her first painting and she got $200 for it,” quipped one of the judges. Arts council officials refused to reveal the girl’s full name in public. Judy Harper of Oshawa won the big prize with a painting of a section of rapids on the Moira River. Another water scene of water colours placed second for $1,500, by Dalibor Djancik of Toronto and third was a challenging oil and wax landscape of a vineyard by Andrew Csafordi of Bloomfield. Another category, supported by the Downtown Business Improvement Area, was won by Durban Castiguay, for a scenic shot of the lower bridge. A category for “chaos” to reflect the downtown construction, went to a large painting of a yellow backhoe on Bridge Street, by coincidence, in front of Gallery 121 art gallery. Judge Snider also commented on how plein air painting is so challenging, combatting unpleasant or cold weather conditions, pesky insects, curious and distracting spectators and a constantly moving sun.

Take it Outside
That backyard can be an oasis
By Carson Arthur
Useable space in the backyard is always top priority in every one of my designs. This may offend a few of the gardeners out there, but if you don’t have a spot to sit outside with family and friends and enjoy the roses, then those blooms are a wasted opportunity! When it comes to creating useable space, most homeowners go with either wood or stone. When it comes to costs, decks will always be the “less expensive option” in creating an outdoor living space when compared to patios. Even if you choose high-end materials, the labour required to install a deck is less, helping to reduce your overall cost. Installation is also a big benefit for choosing a deck. The way a deck is built allows you more creativity in location. Because the actual structure is built above the ground, tree roots, wet soil, even big slopes can be easily overcome. Even a DIY’er can have great success installing a simple deck structure with plenty of how-to videos available online. Unfortunately, wood decks don’t mix well with the elements as compared to some other outdoor materials like stone and concrete. Sun, snow, rain, ice and hail can all deteriorate
Now Hiring for the following positions:
unprotected wood, reducing its lifespan significantly. We are now seeing more products entering into the market that extend the life of your deck. Composites like Trex (www.Trex.com) mix plastics with wood, allowing you to have a deck that lasts up to 25 years. Even the traditional green pressuretreated wood is getting a facelift with new products like MicroPro Sienna (www.microprosienna.com), which is a rich brown toned wood that uses a stain with smaller molecules allowing for deeper penetration. The popularity of the patio makes a lot of sense. Canadians want lowmaintenance and there are few things that require less effort than stone. A properly installed patio with a good base and jointing sand can easily last 25 years. That’s one important reason to make sure you pick a stone that you will love the entire time you have the space. It also justifies the costs. Patios rank as one of the highest expenses for outdoor renovations but if you average the cost over the lifespan and the increased home-value of up to 12 per cent (Century21, Canada); patios are a smart investment. The evolution of the patio stone has come a long way from the two-foot by two-foot concrete slabs that I keep replacing in older backyards. With more colours, shapes and sizes available, choosing a patio is just like choosing flooring for a living room or a kitchen. When it comes to size or patterns, there
really is no single answer. I always tell homeowners to go and see products in an actual installation instead of just from a pamphlet before they commit. I personally choose stones that are in the grey or tan tones as they create a neutral backdrop for some dynamic furniture or art pieces. The biggest trends for 2015 are man-made stones designed to look natural. Wood grained patio stones in natural browns and greys has me the most excited of all the outdoor options. (Rinox.ca) Patios are built on the ground. This is very important for two reasons. The first, involves basement windows. Most decks need support structures built underneath them, often blocking the light and the view for basement spaces. A patio can be built much lower, allowing for more light and less obstruction. The second important reason has to do with privacy. Most urban homeowners struggle with privacy in the backyard from their neighbours. Traditionally, decks are elevated, making a privacy situation even worse. With a patio being lower in the yard, you naturally feel less on display. I always tell homeowners to never spend more than 12 percent of your home’s value when adding a deck or a patio. If you can stay within that amount, odds are, you’ll increase your home’s value by the same amount and you’ll get every penny back when it’s time to sell. Why spend money that you’re not going to get back?

Teachers donate to Quinte Conservation educational programs The International Honorary Organization for Women Educators has made a big splash with Quinte Conservation. The local Alpha Delta Kappa (ADK) Lambda chapter of the group made donations to support Quinte Conservation’s Wild About Wildlife events and educations programs, including Stream of Dreams and Yellow Fish Road. Their efforts help to make these educational events free for the public. ADK member Kathryn Crawford said, “The Wild About Wildlife event in July was a fabulous program for teaching children about
wildlife in our environment. Approximately 400 children had opportunity to learn about water drainage from Quinte Conservation’s enviroscape model, identify local bugs, and talk to experts while observing fascinating creatures like native snakes and birds of prey.” Crawford added, “ADK Lambda chapter is a local group of teachers whose main interest is to provide exciting educational opportunities to children. “During this coming school year, classes of students may participate in popular activities like Stream of Dreams,
where children can paint their own dream fish for their schools fence, and Yellow Fish Road where they learn to care for our natural water bodies like rivers, creeks, and lakes.” Quinte Conservation’s educational programs are open to school boards, camps, and organizations in the Quinte Conservation watershed. These popular programs book up fast. For more information or to book Stream of Dreams at your school, contact Maya Navrot, education and stewardship coordinator, at 613-9683434.
