Proudly serving Brighton, Colborne and Area

Cancer ride remembers those lost, helps with fight for better future By Sarah Hyatt

local residents and people from Quinte West, Belleville and the Northumberland areas rallied to welcome cyclists at Memorial Park, during the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride. Described as one of the most ambitious charity events on behalf of child-

hood cancer worldwide, the event raises funds for research and also, serves to remember those who’ve passed. Brighton – Those who’ve lost their battle Katie Wilson, a teenager from Carrywith childhood cancer will not be forgoting Place, was one of the many kids reten. membered Monday. This much was clear in the commu“She battled valiantly,” said her mom, nity, on Monday, Sept. 19, as dozens of Evelyn Wilson. Katie left her family just shy of her 16th birthday. Evelyn and her husband Brent have been involved with the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, which hosts the bike event for several years now. “We just like to volunteer wherever we can and lend a hand,” said Evelyn. The couple cheered about 20 cyclists on, with all they had as the bikers approached Memorial Park. Their daughter Katie was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (the same cancer as Terry Fox) in June 2010. Eight months later, she was gone. Katie’s story was one of many shared on signs, which lined Memorial Park for the event. Cyclists travelled from Pickering and stopped in Brighton for a short break, before embarking on the road again to Belleville. The Coast-to-Coast group has become family for the Wilsons, said Evelyn. “We just want to help – we love to help,” she said. “This is a great organizaBelleville residents and two participants of this year’s Sears National tion, with 100 per cent of the funds going Kids Cancer Ride, Damon Allen and Eric Lindenberg raised $50,000 for to the cause and if we can help a family to cancer research.

that outcome, that’s what this is about.” Elaine Poot, owner of The Robbins Nest downtown, as a Sears catalogue agent hosted the pit stop for cyclists. The Downtown Business Improvement Association (DBIA) sponsored the food for cyclists. Other Brightonians and local businessowners rallied together to provide more baked goods and food for the group, so cyclists while visiting with community members during their stop could enjoy a snack. This is the fifth year Poot has played host. The lawn bowling club opened its doors to ensure cyclists could use the washroom facilities and Mayor Mark Walas dropped by to cheer on the group and hand out municipal pins, as a way to say “thank you” to the riders for their commitment to the cause. Cyclists began their 18-day journey in Vancouver on Sept. 7. The group completes their trek in Halifax, on Sept. 24. Selected national riders, which this year include two residents from Belleville, cycle in relay style, travelling 150220 kilometres a day. Along the way, cyclists participate in an array of community events, visiting with many of Canada’s 17 pediatric oncology centres and hospitals, where “inspiring stories of strength and hope” are shared. Each rider raises $25,000 to participate in the fundraiser.

That means Damon Allen and Eric Lindenberg, from Belleville raised $50,000. Both have been touched by cancer in their lives. Allen, who’s participated in the ride four times, once as a volunteer, said, “you do see the impact” the ride has for people. Stories shared with him on his journey have inspired him. “We’re going to keep fighting until there’s no more need for fighting,” he said. “We look like heroes but really, we’re just riding bikes. The kids really are the ones who are heroes here.” Lindenberg, who’s had friends like Allen participate in the event, decided to take part, as he was one of many touched by the loss of Thomas Martin – an 11-year-old boy from Belleville, mourned by the community earlier this year, as he lost his battle with Gilomatosis cerebi, a form of cancer of the brain. The pair dedicated their ride Monday to Thomas. “I’m proud to be a part of this ride,” said Lindenberg. Volunteers and key sponsors like Sears Canada ensure expenses are kept to a minimum, so all funds raised go to research and support programs for kids cancer in each pediatric oncology centre in Canada. “We in this, are the benefit from Sick Kids in Toronto and CHEO in Ottawa, where kids here would go,” said Poot.

Brighton-Cramahe Township-Trent Hills -- Northumberland OPP dealt with 152 incidents over a five-day period (Sept. 12-18), including a Brighton resident who reported sending $5,000 to a person she had met online. The individual, claiming to be from Nigeria, said he needed the funds for his daughter who required brain surgery. The victim discontinued communicating with him when he repeatedly asked for more money. Fraudulent transfers into her account as ‘payment’ for the debt by this individual led to her bank putting a hold on her account. Police and bank officials are continuing their investigation. Sept 18 • An intoxicated mother in Campbellford contacted police after an argument with her adult daughter who refused to clean up her dishes. The daughter willingly left for the night to keep the peace. Sept. 17 • Police dispersed a field party near Peacock Lane in the Colborne area. The youths left without incident. • A coyote was spotted in the area of Butler Street in Brighton area. An officer confirmed the sighting, observing it run into a forested area. Sept. 16 • Police received a report of a break-in at a home on County Road 24 in Trent Hills sometime between 10:30 a.m. And 4 p.m. The culprit(s) forced open a door and stole a 14K gold woman’s bracelet, and three 14K gold ladies’ rings with diamonds and rubies. • Another break-in took place on Concession Road 8 near Richardson Road in Trent Jewelry, cash (including collectible Canadian quarters), gaming

•

consoles (Wii, PlayStation 4, Nintendo) and related controllers/games were taken. A couple with a small child were seen arguing near a car pulled over to the side of County Rd 2 in Brighton. Officers determined they were arguing over child care issues. They spent the rest of the day apart. Sept. 15 A homeowner on George Street in Campbellford reported a break-in that occurred between 5:30 a.m. And 3 p.m. Entrance was made through an unlocked front door. The stolen articles included an Xbox 360 with cord and two controllers, three games (NHL 2015, PGA Golf, NFL 2011) and a red-and-white 1500 watt generator. A homeowner on Percy Boom Road in Trent Hills reported finding an intruder in her house shortly after she arrived home. The suspect, who entered the home through an open rear sliding door, fled the residence upon being discovered. OPP Emergency Response Team members, and canine and detachment officers conducted a search of the area but were unable to locate the suspect. The resident was uninjured and nothing was apparently taken. Sept 13 A motorist reported being confused by construction traffic cones on Hwy. 401 in the Brighton area. An officer patrolled the zone and found everything appeared safe. Sept 12 A Colborne business on County Road 25 reported the theft of 600 feet of copper wire from a trailer sometime overnight

PLEASE CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT

Brighton looking for ombudsman, MOECC to come to the table By Sarah Hyatt

as reports online and e-mail correspondence indicated Andre Marin, the former Ombudsman of Ontario had expressed interest in the position and hadn’t felt as though the process of selection had been just. Marin asked council to defer the recommended appointment until a transparent competition had taken. Ellis is known in the community as someone very vocal on local politics via social media. In his correspondence Monday, Ellis reiterated previously expressed concerns that “sole sourcing” wouldn’t ensure the best value for taxpayers and worries over Brighton’s purchasing bylaw. Council in August already opted to not accept the CAO’s proposal and directed staff to obtain two additional proposals for integrity commissioners. Councillor John Martinello made the suggestion council invite the ombudsman for a public meeting; so all parties could be better informed. Previously council was moving towards the appointment of an integrity commissioner, with the understanding

directed staff to retain legal firms Cunningham, Swan, Carty, Little and Bonham LLP or Ewart O’Dwyer Barristers and Solicitors, for the provision of legal services for matters relating to planning, development, general municipal and contracts, which pre-dated the CAO’s recommendation. Walas read the resolution and left it to council “as information.” “So staff had the authority to contact those firms I believe, to find out if they were able to provide those services to the municipality,” said Walas. In other council news: The municipality is taking steps to hopefully gain some momentum concerning contamination and cleanup related to the former Cooey property. Council is prepared to gage interest and will ask the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) to attend a public meeting in the near future, to discuss contamination issues originating from the property and to answer questions from council and the public. The ideal date suggested is no later than Oct. 15, but this is to serve more as a targeted timeline, it was explained. Martinello believes this is a “good first step for council,” which will hopefully provide some reassurance to the public that action is being taken, he said. Watson will be engaging in preliminary conversations prior to the public meeting, with the hopes of “opening up

the discussion regarding the property.” Some of council was uneasy with simply forwarding the request, without any conversations occurring prior. However, the consensus was, with the motion passed unanimously for the invitation that council would like the MOECC to help Brighton figure out the issue and move forward. Walas is hopeful representatives will be more than willing to listen to the community’s concerns. “My intention was to have that meeting anyways,” said Watson. “We have a report out in the public which raises some issues and it needs some discussion…” Council has asked the public submit questions in regards to the former Cooey property in writing to the CAO. Questions should be submitted two weeks in advance of the meeting. The CAO will then forward questions to the ministry. The goal of this, it was explained, would be to hopefully ensure all questions could be answered at the meeting. Furthermore, council is asking for the Lower Trent Conservation board and staff to assist with a report and information concerning a water quality-monitoring program for Butler Creek, in light of issues raised in a recent MOECC report concerning contamination originating from the Cooey property.

Brighton’s Own

Having Will and Faith in old fashioned farming Brighton - It is not often that I feature a couple whose names together could grace the cover of a book on Life 101 or a TV show: Faith and Will. Sitting on their front porch, looking out on their farm, I get the sense that I have stepped back into the past, to a gentler time, with people who are literally salt of the earth.

Will and Faith on their Codrington farm. Photo by Vic Schukov

Will Moses was born in Peterborough, but has repeatedly returned home over the years to his parents’ farm near Codrington. “My parents lived here ‘til they passed a few years ago,” says Will. “My dad was in the air force so we moved around, three times to Trenton. But we always had the farm.” Five years ago, while working as a travelling millwright in Alberta, he met Faith Halldorson and two years later, the inspirationally-named couple moved to the family farm. Here, they started a business: RoJu Gardens, named in honour of Will’s parents Roger and June. “They worked all their lives for this place,” says Will. “We built this house for them. When we were kids, this was a productive farm. Once the sons left, Dad planted it all in trees. This farm is my proposed retirement.” Since his final return, Will has been turning small forests back into orchards growing “from A to Z, apples to zucchini.” A strong believer in green (organic) manure crops, he grows plants that are helpful to next season’s crops. He sows oats to provide plant matter, and peas to regenerate the nitrogen, rotating crops instead of fertilizing with chemicals. Why organic? “Taste and texture,”

he says. “I give out samples and say ‘Cook these and tell me what you think.’ People always come back and say, GOT IT.” Farming invigorates him: “When I go out in the morning, I hear a million birds singing. I see frogs and rabbits. It’s not work. It’s pleasure. It’s what keeps me going. I love digging in the dirt, and seeing how I can make a few ounces of seed into truckloads of good food. Used to be, that grocery stores had a small row in the back for prepared food. Now they take up a much greater area. People don’t take time to breathe. Times have changed dramatically, and I don’t think for the better.” But farming the old fashioned way also brings old hardships like this summer’s drought. They lost 50% of their summer crop and all of the autumn crop when their well, creek and pond dried up. They trucked 250 gallons of water at a time, 8 hours a day, to no avail. Born in Calgary, Faith Halldorson was a teacher and a talented writer, actor and director in dinner theatre. Arriving here, she decided to try something different: “My mother was a horrible cook so I learned out of survival instinct” she says laughing. “I started

Fire advisory cancelled

Brighton – The municipality’s fire advisory has finally been lifted. Fire chief Lloyd Hutchinson announced the fire advisory was cancelled on Sept. 14, effective immediately. The Brighton and District Fire Department have appreciated co-operation from local residents during the long, hot, dry summer, Hutchinson wrote in a recent press release. The chief reminds residents, despite the lifting of the fire advisory, it is mandatory to notify the department before lighting a fire, and after a fire has been extinguished. Residents are asked to call 613-4752233. “Also, please remember to have some means of extinguishing the fire such as shovels, rakes, fire buckets, garden hoses, etc., available at or near the location of the fire at all times,” said Hutchinson.

Cooey cleanup a ‘big, hairy problem’ that needs urgent attention: residents By Sarah Hyatt

Brighton – Concern over contamination associated with the former Cooey Metal Products property has resurfaced. And one Brighton resident is refusing to take ‘no’ for an answer when it comes to “cleaning up the mess” council has heard. Gail Vaz-Oxlade is worried about the health, property values and quality of life for those in the immediate viciniSOHO’s

ty due to “the hazardous waste issue” in the area, she said. Vaz-Oxlade, well-known locally and beyond as a money guru, writer and award-winning television personality for her ‘Til Debt Do Us Part’ and ‘Princess’ shows, appeared before council recently to share her concerns. And she doesn’t plan to stop. Vaz-Oxlade plans to continue to push for cleanup and is asking other residents to get involved, with the hope they may influence action. Mayor Mark Walas and CAO Bill Watson report Brighton isn’t alone with this struggle. “This is a brownfield site – there are many across the province,” said Walas. A Brownfield site is a term used in urban planning to describe a site previously used for industrial purposes that may be contaminated. “This is not unique to Brighton – it is unique in the sense that thankfully, this is the only one we have that we’re aware of.” Still, Vaz-Oxlade said she was “appalled” after learning of the contamination. “This directly impacts me and all of my neighbours,” said the Stephen Street resident. “I can’t believe the town of Brighton has known about this hazardous waste for 16 years.” Please see “Cooey” on page 8

A closer look at the former Cooey facility: The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) newsroom court bulletin reported the following in March 2015: • Cooey Metal Products Limited fabricated chrome-finished tables, chairs and other metal products. • Bruce D. J. Cooey pleaded guilty to four offences and was sentenced to two years of nonreporting probation for failing to comply with a director’s order, in relation to a cleanup of former industrial property, contrary to the Environmental Protection Act (EPA). • Cooey was given a suspended sentence and probation because of his dire financial circumstances, as he testified under oath that he has no income, savings, or assets other than the contaminated property. • Cooey promised he would notify the ministry promptly if he receives a sum of money in excess of $20,000. • From 1920-1941, the site was occupied by other businesses, which processed metal. • During the 69-year-period, chemical waste was spilled onto the ground. Cooey is on the property title as the registered owner for the site. • The company was dissolved in 1994, the plant abandoned in 1996. • Left behind were numerous drums and containers of acids, solvents, oils and other chemicals used in the metal product manufacturing process. • Over time, the plant became vandalized; some waste chemicals were deliberately spilled onto the site. • A fire on the site in 1999 destroyed a building, the remains of which, along with all other buildings, were removed by the

Municipality of Brighton. • The municipality attempted to sell the site for outstanding taxes on at least two occasions and was unsuccessful. In its attempt to sell the property, it was identified the site was heavily contaminated with heavy metals and other chemical waste products. • The ministry reviewed environmental consulting reports and concluded; groundwater was being impacted by volatile chemical compounds both on and off of the site. Additional groundwater investigations conducted confirmed the underground contamination was migrating off site. In the MOECC report (dated March 2016) attached to DeGroot’s information package, in the August 15 council agenda the following is reported: • The site (93 Prince Edward St.) has been decommissioned, currently vacant and all onsite structures removed. • Surrounding property use to the north, east and southeast are industrial and commercial in nature. Surrounding property use to the west and southwest is generally residential. • Contaminants of concern as identified in the report are: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). • The MOECC has conducted annual groundwater monitoring at the site since 2012. • Groundwater elevations measured in 2015 confirm groundwater flow is occurring in an overall southeasterly direction. • Some of the recommendations listed are: remediation to address the source of contamination located at 93 Prince Edward St., and to address the VOC plume in groundwater extending onto 40 Sharp Rd. and 4-6 Craig Blvd. • Additional monitoring wells at the site to delineate the extent of VOC impacts, additional monitoring wells to delineate chlorinated solvent impacts on 40 Sharp Rd., to the east of the site, and additional monitoring wells at 4-6 Craig Boulevard, to determine if impacts extend beneath the onsite building. • Additional surface water monitoring recommended in the drainage ditch, at 40 Sharp Rd., to further assess groundwater discharge to the ditch.

OPINION

Syria: Another ceasefire bites the dust? As the Syrian ceasefire arranged by the United States and Russia teeters on the brink of collapse, it’s clear that the main problem lies in Washington. Moscow’s goal has never been in doubt: it wants the regime of Bashar al-Assad to surGwynne Dyer vive. The Obama administration has been reluctantly moving towards the same conclusion, but it simply can’t admit it, even to itself. The Russian government bitterly condemned the American air strike that killed 60 to 80 Syrian army personnel on Saturday, but everybody knows that air strikes sometimes hit the wrong people. It was a mistake, that’s all, and the Russians really understand that – but it was a mistake that tells us a lot about how far the US has moved. Until recently the United States, still formally pledged to overthrow the Assad regime, would not attack Islamic State troops if they were fighting the Syrian army. (That’s why Islamic State captured the historic city of Palmyra two years ago: the US air force would not strike the long and vulnerable IS line of communications across the desert, because that would have been “helping Assad”.) But the US air attack that went astray at Deir es-Zor last weekend was targeting Islamic State troops who were in direct contact with the Syrian army. It’s because the two sides were so close together that the planes hit the Syrian troops by mistake. American diplomats still deny it, but the US is now willing to help Assad, at least sometimes. The strategic calculation that has driven US Secretary of State John Kerry into this uncomfortable position is brutally simple. If Assad’s regime does not survive, then the extreme Islamists will take over all of Syria. The fantasy of a “third force” in Syria, made up of democracy-loving non-Islamist rebels who could defeat both the Islamists and Assad, has died even in the US State Department and the Pentagon. The “moderate” rebels that the United States has backed for so long make up no more than 10 or 15 per cent of the real fighting strength of the anti-Assad forces, and most of them are actually allied to the Islamists. In fact, the “moderates” wouldn’t survive long without their Islamist alliance,

so it’s time for Washington to abandon them. The ceasefire terms show that Kerry has implicitly accepted that logic, for they demand that the Syrian government and the “moderates” stop shooting and bombing, whereupon the American and Russian air forces will cooperate in bombing the Islamists. And the targets will not only be Islamic State but also the al-Qaeda-linked group that was known until recently as the Nusra Front. The Nusra Front saw this coming, so last month it changed its name to Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (Front for the Conquest of Syria) and said that it has cut its ties with al-Qaeda. (An al-Qaeda spokeman said that the terrorist organisation understood the Nusra Front’s need to break the public link, and wasn’t angry at its Syrian branch.) But even Washington could see through this flimsy disguise, and Nusra (under its new name) is still on the hit list. Unfortunately, the “moderate” groups are not only in close alliance with Nusra, but are physically mixed in with the Islamist forces. They will get bombed too if they do not break their links with the Islamist extremists and somehow move away from them, so the ceasefire co-sponsored by the US and Russia demands that they do exactly that. Unfortunately, they can’t. They can’t do it because on their own they could never hope to overthrow the Assad regime and also because the Islamists will start killing them as traitors if they even try to break away. So the “moderates” haven’t really accepted the ceasefire either, and the Russians are quite right to complain that they have “not met a single obligation” of the truce. Everything we know about the ceasefire argues that the Obama administration has accepted the regrettable necessity of leaving the Assad regime in power, although it still cannot bring itself to say so publicly. A year from now, the areas controlled by the Assad regime, including at least threequarters of the Syrian population, will probably be the same as now or maybe a little bit bigger. The surviving “moderates”, having detached themselves from al-Nusra, will hold little bits of territory and will be observing a real ceasefire. The Kurds will still control a band of territory across the extreme north of Syria unless Turkey has waged and won a full-scale war to conquer it. And the Russians and the Americans will both be bombing the territories still controlled by Islamic State and the former Nusra Front, although in less than perfect harmony.

Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry Editorial by Chris Malette What you will find here, readers of the newspaper jury, is a compelling case to allow television cameras into most all court proceedings in Canada. In Alberta, the Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Denny Thomas last week aired on television, in its entirety, his verdict on murder charges against Travis Vader accused in the 2010 disappearance and presumed deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann. Thomas likely aired his verdict – and that was all viewers saw – in an effort to stanch the bleeding of the last vestiges of public trust in the justice system in this case. During the Vader case, there was a long-running feud between the media, the Crown prosecutors, the judge in the case, Thomas, and even the RCMP investigating the case over mountains of suspect evidence, publication bans and all manner of restrictions imposed on media over what evidence they were or were not allowed to see in the case. It got so absurd, that the Crown threw out the charges against Vader, only to re-arrest him again a short time later. Perhaps, after all the crazy shenanigans involving the RCMP, the Crown, tussles with the media, stayed charges and re-arrests, the judge, Thomas, decided it was best to just let TV cameras in to see every word and syllable of his ruling and verdict in the case. No one knows, because he said simply he believed it would be done one time only and that one time only in an effort to, as he put it, increase confidence in the judicial system. We should see more of the workings of the courts and this former court reporter, who long warmed press benches in spectacularly uncomfortable settings in courtrooms across this region, says we should open the doors to the televised proceedings to all but the most sensitive of cases. Here’s a case that would have beaten M*A*S*H* in the TV ratings of the early 1980s, had it ever been televised in Belleville. The late mayor George Zegouras operated a variety store in the plaza he owned on Dundas Street East, now just east of the TSC store. In that variety store, as in most every other variety store in Belleville, Ontario and, for that matter, acrss Canada, were some magazines tucked away up in the top rack, some wrapped in plastic but all of the, ahem, salacious variety known as girlie mags.

One day, the coppers in this town – under whose direction we’ve forgot, lost in the mists of time – raided Zegouras’ shop and took into evidence several racy magazines before charging the hapless mayor with possession of obscene material for the purpose of resale, or some such nonsense. Nonsense, we see it as now, with the proliferation of the Internet and the magazine smut industry gone the way of buggy-whips, corset stays and, hell, some newspapers. When it all came to court, one hang-em-high provincial court judge, J.L. Clendenning was hearing the case. Those of us fortunate enough to be in the court that day on Clendenning’s verdict were treated to something Jerry Seinfield couldn’t have dreamed up for a sit-com. Clendenning wanted to ensure, in the record of jurisprudence, there was evidence of the kind of smut and stuff of which Zegouras was charged with peddling. So he proceeded, I kid you not, to read into the record – with the court stenographer dutifuly taking down every word – to read aloud the story in “Boobs `n Buns” of the tale of ‘The Naughty Nurse.’ In his baritone, sonorous voice, old J.L. began reading aloud “There she came, into my hospital room, busting out of her clinging nurse’s uniform…” and more. Oh, much, much more. Giggles erupted from the prisoners’ box, which J.L. promptly cleared to the holding cells, warning the rest of us – cops, lawyers, social workers all – that we too would be booted from the court if we so much snickered. Most every man, woman and school spectator in the court stared at the floor, bit their cheeks, their tongues, their lips – all in an effort to keep from erupting in gales of laughter at the absurdity of it all. Imagine it, if you can, on television. In the end, Zegouras had charges against him stayed, but, right there in some dusty tome of legal precedents and trial transcripts you can find The Queen vs. Zegouras and the case of the smutty mags and naughty nurses and all that kind of stuff that now seems almost laughable to all but the most pickle-suppositoried among us. A trite example for such a serious issue as allowing cameras in the courts? Perhaps. But, you know you’d tune in for the latest chapter of Naughty Nurse, as read in all its majestic timbre, by J.L. Clendenning if you could.

Committee debates use of recruiters to find doctors for Brighton By John Campbell

Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The kind of doctors Brighton wants to attract and the use of recruiters to find them was discussed at length by members of the Physician Recruitment Committee at their Sept. 14 meeting. Candidates include physicians not licensed in Ontario who want to set up practice locally but require supervision by a local doctor. Dr. James Larmer said â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of medicallegal riskâ&#x20AC;? for a local doctor to assume that responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very tricky,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not watching their every move but anything they do you are liable for. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get someone interested in supervising at that level.â&#x20AC;? For him and other members of the family health organization made up of local physicians, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really interested in taking on,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;all of us are tied upâ&#x20AC;? working with residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most often people like to get supervised for nine months. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big commitment,â&#x20AC;? he said. Larmer further pointed out â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for small rural communities to be seen as stepping stonesâ&#x20AC;? by doctors to practising in larger centres, and they come and go. Brighton CAO Bill Watson said the municipality must be open to the idea of candidates coming from anywhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see doors closed,â&#x20AC;? he said. The committee was asked for its feedback on an offer made by a recruiter to present council with a physician candidate. The recruiter would be paid â&#x20AC;&#x153;a finderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fee,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If everything works out successfully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to pay that fee [which] can be anywhere from $10,000 to $40,000,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The value is not there,â&#x20AC;? Larmer said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expensive and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an appropriate use of resources.â&#x20AC;?

FUND RAISER FOR SUNNY DAYS SCHOOL PROGRAM

Also, recruiting international physicians is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not where we should be focusing. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better suited to focus on young individuals [who] are more local or from the province [who] have similar principles, [and] tie themselves more closely to this community.â&#x20AC;? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also â&#x20AC;&#x153;less red tapeâ&#x20AC;? involved in their setting up practice, Larmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the people I would like to see but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to come with a recruiter.â&#x20AC;? Watson said it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;a one-off,â&#x20AC;? an opportunity to hear what the recruiter has to say without making a commitment. Although there is â&#x20AC;&#x153;an urgent needâ&#x20AC;? for more doctors, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of extra money to spend to get one individual,â&#x20AC;? Larmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a vulnerable small community we do need to find the right candidate,â&#x20AC;? because of the many people who will be affected by that one individual, he said. Mayor Mark Walas supported the recruiter being allowed to make a presentation to council and then leaving it to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the professionals at the Brighton Family Health Team to make their educated assessment [if] it needs to go any further.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether $5,000 or $50,000 no money will be spent unless there is a successful placement,â&#x20AC;? he said. Committee chair Robert Canuel warned allowing one recruiter to approach council would encourage others to follow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood in the water, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like sharks,â&#x20AC;? he said. If the individual being put forward requires supervision, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we might as well move to another conversation because it will not happen in Brighton,â&#x20AC;? Larmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means being responsible for decisions that the individual youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attached to makes ... [and] everyone makes mistakes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very time-intensive, stressful scenario and it is hard to find physicians that will do it.â&#x20AC;? The committee ultimately voted to recommend to council that, in this one instance, it hear what the recruiter has to say. There are currently 4,000 people in Brighton and area without a family doctor.

Brighton is home to the Top Small Corps in Ontario By John Campbell

Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Top Small Corps in Ontario is 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in Brighton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it has a shot at being declared the top corps for its size in all of Canada. Capt. Pam Hohner accepted the Lord Strathcona Trophy while attending a commanding officers conference at Borden last weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was absolutely beaming,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was such an exciting experience.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;a huge accomplishmentâ&#x20AC;? for a corps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just six years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some corps never achieve something like this,â&#x20AC;? Hohner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cadets and the staff have worked so incredibly hardâ&#x20AC;? and it â&#x20AC;&#x153;means a lot to the cadetsâ&#x20AC;? to have their achievements recognized. The award is given out annually by the Department of National Defence (DND) to the corps that is â&#x20AC;&#x153;most efficient in its class and perpetuates the solicitude of the donor for patriotism, fitness and discipline in young Canadians.â&#x20AC;? Lord Strathcona â&#x20AC;&#x153;believed that the first duty of a free citizen is to be prepared to defend his countr Hohner said the award is based on a corpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities, community service, attendance records, and participation and success at competitions. The Small Corps trophy is for corps with 60 cadets or fewer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is based on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers [when] we were at 55,â&#x20AC;? she said. The battalion recently returned to training last week after having the summer off and currently has about 45. Recruiting has begun to rebuild its ranks. To be a cadet, you must be 12 to 18 years of age. Meetings are held every Monday night from 6 to 9 p.m. at East Northumberland Secondary School. For more information call Hohner at 905-355-5170.

She isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure when the national Top Small Corps will be announced but thinks it might be next month. Ian Douglas, the liaison officer from the RCAC League of Ontario and the Brighton branch of the Royal Canadian Legion who got the corps off the ground in 2011, was thoroughly pleased Brighton had been honoured by the DND. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning the Strathcona trophy was a big, big deal in my day. My corps never won it.â&#x20AC;? The Brighton corps has six paid staff and several regular force volunteers from CFB Trenton as well as numerous civilian volunteers. It also has â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazing hard-working cadets, some of whom do more than 80 hours community service in a six-month span,â&#x20AC;? Hohner said. Members compete as well in four competitions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; orienteering, biathlon, marksmanship and drill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put in a team. They look at stuff like that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And in the last couple of years we have been winning medals ... in the area and [at] the provincials. These kids work so hard for the achievements.â&#x20AC;? There are 300 cadet corps of varying sizes in Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it,â&#x20AC;? said Jessika Hardy, the corpsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; newest regimental sergeant-major. Fifteen cadets are signed up to make the trip to France next March to join in the celebrations planned for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War. The corps has raised more than $30,000 so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community has been so amazingly generous, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve supported us in so many of our events,â&#x20AC;? Hohner said. Its next fundraiser is a golf tournament at Pine Ridge Golf Club Oct. 1. To take part call 613-965-6149 or 613-439-9019, or email brightoncacc@hotmail.com.

Community Care aims to put a stop to caregivers suffering in silence By Sarah Hyatt

Brighton – A new Community Care Northumberland (CCN) program is looking to fill a void for local caregivers. “We’re in a bit of a funny spot,” in Brighton, explains Leiann Peart, program co-ordinator. “There’s lots offered to the west in Cobourg and then towards Belleville, there are a lot of resources to service those in the Quinte area.” But people “in-between” need help too. Residents shouldn’t have to travel outside their community or far away to get help while caring for someone who’s ill, said Peart. The new program is something staff has been working at for some time. “We want caregivers to have somewhere to go,” said Peart. “Even if this is something that can help them get out for a break for just a little while – that’s what this is about.” The support group will offer people the chance to meet others in similar life situations – others who understand what it means to be a caregiver. Within the group, people will be able to share techniques for coping and also, attendees will learn about local resources. “It can be extremely overwhelming for caregivers,” said Peart. Often, people in caregiver roles become so “tied into and wrapped up” in caring for their loved ones, even a few minutes a day for oneself, it can quickly become an impossible task, explained the co-ordinator. “It’s so important we connect people with other local resources,” Peart continued. “Because often, there are things we could have been helping people with all along.” One of the goals for the new program will be to

prevent caregiver burnout, in other words. “We want to help people before they get to that breaking point – before it’s too late, we want to help prevent that,” said Peart. Caring for a family member or a friend with a chronic condition, can be physically, emotionally and financially challenging, explained executive director for CCN Trish Baird. The hope is this will provide some social respite and peer-to-peer support, Baird added. There’s no fee to participate and the group will meet at the CCN activity room in Brighton. The support group, “Care for Caregivers” will start on Tuesday, Oct. 4. The program will run on the first Tuesday of each month. “We chose once monthly rather than once weekly, because we didn’t want this to end up feeling like another burden,” said Peart. “It can be difficult to take time away or for people to squeeze in a half hour even to go grocery shopping.” Rather than the program serving as just something else people are trying to juggle the time for, Peart and CCN staff want this to be something people look forward to. Peart acknowledges the difficulty and worries many may have when it comes to carving out the time or how intimidating taking that initial step to talk with others about one’s emotions may be. “Caregivers can sometimes feel ashamed,” and there’s often an array of other emotions that can be hard to talk about, said Peart. But that initial step may go a long way to helping with access to resources later and in this type of forum; people have the opportunity to truly “feel heard,” given that everyone is in a similar type situation, said Peart. Over the years, Peart’s known people and volunteers even who’ve suffered in silence – people who’ve travelled lonely journeys, while they care for loved ones who are ill or dying and with no help. Once connected with community resources and when a person no longer feels alone, one’s life can improve – it can change from “night and day” and people can live healthier lives, said Peart. For more information on the caregivers program, contact the Brighton office at 613-475-4190 or e-mail brighton@commcare.ca. Participants are asked to pre-register. The program will run from 2-3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays.

Rinaldi conducts his first meeting as chair of government Caucus By John Campbell

Northumberland-Quinte West – MPP Lou Rinaldi presided over his first meeting as chair of the provincial Liberal caucus, Sept. 13. Rinaldi was acclaimed to the position in the summer by fellow Liberal members of government. “It’s a real honour to be recognized and given the confidence that I’m able to do that job, and I certainly look forward to working with my colleagues,” he said in an interview. To have that show of “respect from your peers ... means a lot.” The 59 elected members of his party meet in caucus for three hours every Tuesday when the House is in session, and mostly by way of teleconferences when it’s not. His duties as caucus chair include working through an agenda “based on the needs of the members and the premier [as to] what they want to talk about, and make sure that happens in an orderly fashion,” Rinaldi said. He also works closely with the regional caucuses – eastern, western, northern, Toronto and GTA – to ensure their issues come to the table at the meetings which are closed sessions. “We talk about potential policies, potential ways we want to move as a party,” and as a government, Rinaldi said, and those discussions include “how things might impact different areas of the province.” His goal “is to try to keep people focused and on time,” he said. It’s in caucus where the high cost of electricity would have been discussed, and this week the Liberal government

put forward its plan to help residents, farmers and businesses with their hydro bills. It announced Monday that it would be eliminating the provincial portion of the harmonized sales tax on hydro, a savings of 8 per cent for all users. But hydro users in rural areas, where delivery charges for the transmission of electricity are higher, will receive an additional reduction of 12 per cent, when the cuts take effect in January, Rinaldi said. “This is a big start, it’s a big help, it’s not tweaking with something,” he said. “It’s a commitment that we’re making that’s substantial.” The Liberals also announced they will be creating 100,000 daycare spaces for newborns to four-year-olds over the next five years. Rinaldi said his government is “still on target to balance the budget” by fiscal year 2017-18. The deficit stood at $11 billion four years ago and was projected to be $3 billion in the current budget. “Once the budget is balanced, hopefully we can start working on the [$300 billion] debt,” Rinaldi said.

Tim Hortons sold smiles, and now Community Care is all smiles By John Campbell

Colborne – Eating a chocolate chip cookie will put a smile on your face. But for seven days last week, the smile was also on the cookies, as the annual Tim Hortons Smile Cookie campaign once again ran in the area, with nine of the chain’s restaurants in Colborne, Cobourg and Port Hope taking part Sept. 12-18. This year’s recipient of the funds raised was Community Care Northumberland and it will receive an estimated $20,000, based on the number of cookies sold for a dollar apiece. The money will be used to support Community

Care’s many programs, which include Meals on Wheels, friendly visiting, Community Diners, telephone security checks and home help and maintenance. Agency staff, advisory committee members and volunteers helped out in support of the sale of cookies at the coffee shops owned by John and Kim Meeussen, and Jeri Joyce Horton and Ron Joyce. “We’re just so appreciative to those owners for selecting us,”said Alicia Vandine, Community Care’s regional community relations coordinator. “It’s a wonderful way not only to raise some dollars but Community Care [and the] diversity of what we do ... It’s been a great opportunity.”

Tim Hortons in Colborne and eight other locations in the area took part in the coffee shop chain’s annual Smile Cookie campaign last week. Doing their part to boost sales in support of this year’s recipient, Community Care Northumberland, were, l-r, Tim Simone (Tim Horton’s grandson), Diana McVicar, Kelly Munn, David Yohane, a member of Community Care’s advisory board, and Brenda Chapman, program assistant at the agency’s Colborne office.

Colborne – People in urgent need of food now have access around the clock to a cupboard stocked by the community. “I really don’t have a number but I know that there are a lot of people in this community who are in dire need of help,” said Jen McGlennon who got the idea for a public cupboard after reading about one in the United States on Facebook. A Colborne church operates a food bank that’s open every other Tuesday from 1 to 4 p.m. -- just six hours a month, and users have to sign their name. “There is a small element of shame,” McGlennon said, which the Cramahe Cupboard will avoid by not requiring people to register, and making the food available at all hours in an unobtrusive spot. “This, hopefully, will eliminate that because you won’t know if people are going to put stuff in or take stuff out,” she said. The structure, about one metre high (three feet) and .6 metre (two feet) wide and deep, is attached to the wall on the south side of Cramahe Township’s municipal building. The project, including flyers, costs about $380 and a couple of local businesses have provided the necessary funding. Sidney Calvert, the husband of one of the volunteers, built the cupboard which has shelves and a Plexiglas door. There’s no lock. When McGlennon announced her plans online

and asked for volunteers to join in the effort. She got a group of eight women “who were thrilled to help out,” she said. She and two others went to township council to get permission to locate the structure on the municipal building. “They loved it said [and] said sure, go for it,” she said. Other township residents have been asking what they can do to help. “The response has just been overwhelming,” she said. “I’m thrilled.” “We’re not looking for someone to put in a week’s worth of groceries,” but to contribute what they can, such as donating a single granola bar from a package. McGlennon is optimistic the cupboard will be used as intended. “I’m going into it with positive vibes,” she said. “There are some people out there saying it’s going to be cleaned out all the time. That may be the case but, hopefully, it’s by somebody who really needs it.” She would be “very upset” if the structure were to be vandalized. Donors are also being asked to contribute coupons to lower household expenses, along with articles of clothing, school supplies and other household goods, including re-usable shopping bag, anything “you think that’s going to help somebody else,” McGlennon said.

Trent Hills Grannies for Africa unbox the bling By Sue Dickens

Trent Hills – Trent Hills Grannies for Africa is once again polishing up the bling and preparing for their annual fundraiser. “It’s always exciting for the jewellery committee to unbox the latest treasures, to sort, inspect, price, admire, and to ensure that each piece is in perfect condition for those seeking that special piece. Expect Fabulous Finds is our motto,” said Lyn De La Cour. Last year, as in the past, the allure of previously loved vintage and costume jewellery attracted a big crowd to the annual Trent Hills Grannies for Africa Jewellery Sale and Café. “We have again added handbags and scarves to our fabulous vintage and costume jewellery and are very excited about the new donations that have flooded in during the year,” added De La Cour. Gently used handbags were a big hit when they were first introduced offering styles “from the designer to the fun and fanciful,” as part of the collection of items on the tables showcasing the items for sale at the event. “Our fundraising efforts at the grassroots level support The Stephen Lewis Foundation‘s work in subSaharan Africa where grandmothers are raising children of their children and orphans whose parents have died of HIV/AIDS,” said De La Cour.

She noted that a recent Foundation newsletter stated that over the past decade African grandmothers have “risen to become the linchpin of survival for their families and communities. They have become activists. They advocate for women‘s rights and the rights of their grandchildren and are becoming small business owners in order to earn a living for their families.” “Grandmothers are now recognized as community experts and agents of change by governments and international aid agencies. They nurture, feed and put their grandchildren

into school, tend to the sick in their communities, help the recently bereaved, set up support groups, plant and harvest crops.” De La Cour explained, “This is what our local fundraising is all about … helping African grannies achieve their goals and The Trent Hills Grannies for Africa is very proud to have raised more than $60,000 for the cause during the past decade.” The sale and café will be held Sat., Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at The Gathering Place in St. Paul’s United Church, Warkworth.

This was the scene at one of the previous Trent Hills Grannies for Africa Jewellery Sale and Café where every year throngs of people shop and with their purchases help the group with their fundraising efforts for the Stephen Lewis Foundation: Karen Brown of Warkworth, second from the right, and Linda Cardwell of Norwood joined in the search for bling.

Macmillan abandons funding appeal, will fly to Germany to have surgery done By John Campbell

Trent Hills – Mayor Hector Macmillan will travel to Germany next week to have the cancerous tumour in his pancreas removed. And when he returns “healthy” he vows to resume his fight to have the same surgery made available in Ontario. He decided to abandon his appeal of a decision by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to deny him out-of-country funding to cover the cost of his treatment because time is running out. Without the surgery, Macmillan has told people, he could be dead by Christmas. “Right now it‘s time to get better,” he said in an interview Sept. 17. “I was about to lose an appeal I could never win, and you just got to know when to fold them,” he said, but “it‘s far from over.” A day earlier he had taken part in his third case conference call to establish when his appeal would be heard by the Health Services Appeal and Review Board. Three days were set aside for the hearing to be conducted in full, with the last day tentatively set for Sept. 29, the day Macmillan is scheduled to have his surgery at Stralsund. “The consequences are far too extreme and important to be gambling with my life, and it‘s abundantly apparent that OHIP is going to make an example out of me even if they have to kill me to do it,” he said. Its officials have “a dirty bag of tricks and they were pulling out all the stops.” Macmillan had originally planned to have the operation known as NanoKnife irreversible electroporation (IRE) performed by a surgeon in Kentucky, Dr. Robert Martin, who has perfected use of the technology, which uses electrical pulses to kill cancer cells. But the high cost of IRE there – more than $300,000 Canadian – led him to look elsewhere where it isn‘t as expensive. Friends pointed him to a doctor in Germany, who says he will be able to perform the procedure within two weeks, Macmillan said in a release. “It‘s such a wonderful experience to be exposed to a healthcare system that actually cares about [its] patients.” “I just hope it‘s not too late, through all of this being dragged out,” Macmillan said on Saturday, revealing the back pain he experienced a year ago that prompted him to visit the doctor, and eventually be diagnosed as having pancreatic

Ontario’s first mobile apple cider mill was put to work at Cheers Farm in Brighton Sept. 18. Geissberger Farmhouse Cider, the winner of a Premier’s Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence in 2013, travels around the province producing cider for more than 40 apple growers. The apples are washed, crushed and pressed, and the fruit juice extracted is filtered through a press cloth before being pasteurized and packaged. The Brighton Fire Department, which lifted its fire advisory last week, set up a display, promoting fire safety. Harry’s Hots was also present, in support of the firefighters.

Doris Potts celebrates 103rd birthday with family, friends in Campbellford By Sue Dickens

Campbellford - Celebrating her 103rd birthday on Sept. 19, Doris Potts was surrounded by friends and her sister Florence Chatten, 93, who arrived from Hilton to mark this milestone at Island Park Retirement Residence in Campbellford where Doris has been living for the past few years. Born on a dairy farm west of Hoards Station to Ed and Charlotte Rannie, her family roots in the area go all the way back to when a greatgreat-grandfather crossed the ocean in 1842 to begin a new life in Canada. She was one of Campbellford-Seymour Heritage Society’s founding members in 1983 with her late husband, Frank. The Campbellford-Seymour Heritage Society recognized their efforts to preserve local history by dedicating the study room the Frank and Doris Potts Research Facility. The couple bought a store at Menie in 1946

and later donated the building to Peterborough County which relocated it to Lang Pioneer Village at Keene. Doris taught elementary school in Northumberland and Hastings counties for 38 years and was responsible for setting up the library at Hillcrest Public School in Campbellford when it was built to take the place of the school that had burned down in the mid-1960s. The birthday event was a chance to reminisce and Doris was all smiles on her special day as she spent time talking with old friends.

G-Hawks score former Patriots’ power forward Pullara By Erin Stewart

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks and Toronto Patriots have reached a trade agreement resulting in Trenton acquiring power forward Jeremy Pullara in exchange for goaltender Tyler Fassl and forward Dante Spagnuolo. Pullara, the 19-year-old Woodbridge native, had been with the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Toronto Patriots since 2014 and totalled 27 goals and 17 assists in 53 games last season. He said being traded to the GHawks was ideal. “I really wanted to play for Trenton this year,” said Pullara, after the G-Hawks’ home game on Friday, Sept. 16. “They’re just a real powerhouse organization, it’s a good situation here.” Not only was Pullara drawn to the G-Hawks’ strong organization, he said he was also drawn to Trenton’s great fan base. “I knew they were always a topnotch organization, a lot of great support from the fans and you know that was a really big thing for me because not a lot of teams in this league get the kind of support that Trenton does and it’s really great to see,” he said. The trade is not officially complete because the last of the paperwork is being finalized but Pullara said he can’t wait to get back out on the ice. “My first game will probably be against the Patriots, my old team, next Wednesday so we’ll see how that goes,” he said. “I’m pretty ex-

cited about it to finally get going, it’s been a while.” G-Hawks coach Jerome Dupont said the trade has been in the works for a long time, since mid-June, and they’re working hard to complete the last of the administration. “Obviously it’s tough losing a couple of good players in Fassl and Spagnuolo, but Pullara is an impact player,” said Dupont.

On Sunday in Napanee, the Devils played a stiff defensive battle with the visiting Clarington Toros and came up short in a 2-1 loss. The Devils played very well defensively in despite of the loss.

Quinn Donovan was solid between the pipes for the Devils, making numerous key saves to keep the Devils in the game. Ryland Cunningham scored the lone goal for the Devils, assisted by Kolby Craig.

Deke Osterhout finally got the Devils on the board with seconds left in the third. Mason Musclow and Ryland Harvey drew the helpers while Liam Boyer was solid in goal despite taking the loss. On Sunday, the Devils opened their home campaign in Deseronto and once again fell behind early, spotting

the visiting Richmond Hill Coyotes a 2-0 lead a minute into the contest. On this occasion the Devils constant pressure would not be denied as they roared back for a 5-3 win.

She swam 387-kilometre Trent-Severn miracle swim in memory of her daughter By Erin Stewart

Trenton – A Peterborough area realtor emerged from the waters of the Trent River here Sunday with a triumphant goal achieved. With 387 kilometres swum and $30,509 raised, Trudy Wilson completed her journey along the Trent-Severn Waterway in Trenton and surpassed her $25,000 goal to raise money for the Lauren Taylor Wilson Pledge Fund. “I’m really happy that I finished and we surpassed the goal,” said Wilson after finishing the last leg of the swim in Trenton on Sunday, Sept. 18. “I honestly have to say I wasn’t even sure if I could complete it but, with all of the support that I’ve had from friends and family who believed I could do it even long before I believed I could, we were able to get it done.” Greeted at her final destination be a crowd of around 80

supporters, Wilson said the warm welcome by so many people was quite an emotional surprise. Wilson’s #miracleswim symbolically started on May 15 of this year, which would have been Lauren’s 18th birthday. Trudy, a Bridgenorth resident, and RE/MAX realtor, and her husband Harvey created the pledge in memory of their daughter, who died two days after she was born due to birth injuries. The money raised will support high-priority needs at Sick Kids Hospital in medical research, education and patient care through the Possibilities Fund. She spent the next couple of months preparing for the swim, which began in July at Port Severn. She has been swimming close to 10 kilometres a day for at least four days a week, overcoming different challenges throughout each leg of the journey and she has many

Photo by Erin Stewart scrapes and bruises to prove it. “It’s a lesson to be learned, just because you think you can’t do something, once you’re met with that challenge and you just commit to doing it then somehow you find a way to complete it,” she said. Wilson said she feels amazing being able to give back to Sick Kids while also creating a legacy for her daughter. “Right now her name is on a plaque on the donor wall in Sick Kids and that means something to me as a mother but also to say thank you to Sick Kids for the care we received,” she said. Ramona Strojevs, Burlington Trudy Wilson receives a hug from one of her many supporters in Trenton after completing the last leg of her resident and friend of 387-kilometre swim along the Trent-Severn Waterway to raise money for the Lauren Taylor Wilson Pledge Wilson’s, was one of the Fund, in memory of their daughter.

“It’s bigger than words, it’s just bigger than words,” she said. “She’s a remarkable individual to have thought of doing it and laid out the framework to do it and actually accomplish it is amazing beyond words.” Strojevs said it was extremely important for her mother and herself to meet Wilson at the end of her journey. “We really wanted to be here, wouldn’t have missed it,” she said. “It’s beyond amazing, spectacular accomplishment, she’s a great, great lady.” A little bit of relaxation is hopefully in the near future, said Wilson, but she expects life will go back to the status-quo shortly because she needs to get back to work and take care of her family and clients.

County Music Fest has a grand opener By Jack Evans

Prince Edward County - When a concert both starts and ends with an ensemble party song, you know you’ve had a good time. The annual Prince Edward County Music Festival opened Saturday evening at St. Mary Magdalene Church, Picton , with a show called “A Grand Night for Singing.” Festival Artistic Director Stephane Lemelin quipped in his opening remarks that “If we’d known about the weather (It was raining at the time.) We’d have called it a Grand Night for ‘Singing in the Rain.” The opening was a rousing chorus from Verdi’s “Libiamo,” in which a lover proposes a toast to his new love in the prescence of her merry friends, who eagerly join in the song. |Then the program turned to marking the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare in 1616 with some delightful songs from his plays, soliloquies and serious songs and the poison scene from Gounod’s opera, “Romeo and Juliette .Fill-in soprano Rachel Kehm did a remarkable job. Ditto for Sir John Falstaff ’s comic attempts to win friends and influence wives in “The Merry

Wives of Windsor,” with Simone McIntosh and Ana Toumine speaking the witty lines and singing too. Mozrart’s “Die Zauberflote” (The Magic Flute) is always good for a hoot when the three ladies try to help poor Papageno and the Prince resolve their quest in the jolly Quintet. Beautiful and poignant was Jean Philippe McClish’s performance of Wagner’s beauiful area from Tannhauser, the ode to the evening star. So the evening went, with the panel of young, confident and super talented singers performing in English, French, Italian and German, solos, duets and ensemble numbers, with Patrick Hansen, director of Opera McGill’s program , on the piano. Several songs were range-challenging, but these hearty voices easily filled the hall on key and acted out their parts as well. On the lighter side, the Vilia song from LeHar’s “The Merry Widow” added an audience-pleaser touch, closing with the rousing party song from Johann Strauss’s “Die Fledermaus,” Champagne Finale, in which the singers blame all their problems on too much champagne. Other singers were, Simone

McIntosh, mezzo soprano and Asitha Tennekoon, tenor, Anaa Toumine, soprano, and JeanPhilippe McClure, baritone. The festival continues next

weekend with two performances by the LaFayette string Quartet. Lemelin acknowledged in an interview that this year’s fourconcert festival is substantially

scaled down from past years. “It is only for this year,” he stressed. “We are going through a transition. Next year’s festival will be larger again.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Man named Weed busted for growing pot

The high and mighty in the media

Dear Editor, This is in response to Chris Malette’s morally superior and highly disparaging editorial last week regarding Kelly Leitch’s proposal to screen future immigrants for non-Canadian values. He quotes a recent poll conducted for the Toronto Star that reports that 67% of Canadians indeed agree with Leitch, that forced marriages, genital mutilation or honour killings to mention a few little cultural traditions, are not the way to go in this neck of the woods. He further states that this large group of Canadians, who want to screen for these reprehensible beliefs, are basically a bunch of beer swilling donut eating rednecks that should be proud to breathe the same air as him and his politically correct ilk. He points out that immigration is a great thing (which it is) and no one should oppose bringing in newcomers (a no brainer) but he and many other media elites just don’t get the basic

problem. In the last century, millions of hard working Italians, Irish, German, Chinese, French, Dutch, Polish etc. etc. immigrants landed on our shores ready to work hard and make a better life for themselves. Canada is a better place because of them. I asked some of my old buddies, (who jumped off of the boat from Holland in the forties) this morning in the coffee shop, if they had ever considered drowning their daughters in the Rideau Canal if those daughters wanted to act like average Canadian girls and maybe kiss a boy once in a while. You can probably guess what their answer was. I’m sure that most of you are aware, but for those of you who are not, there is a husband, wife and son presently serving a life sentence for that exact crime here in Canada. Simply put, there is good immigration and there is bad immigration. Mr. Malette suggests that we are being unfairly critical of folks from one certain part of the world (The Middle

East). Most people in the world generally think alike. Most have a love for freedom, safety and happiness, but it is an inconvenient truth that some, from certain areas of the planet just don’t seem to fit in. Their ideas are simply too different from ours. Some of those people’s ideas are completely incompatible and it is no sin to prefer that they live elsewhere. Mr. Malette’s broad dismissal of 67 % of the Canadian population reminds me of Hillary Clinton’s recent remarks that Donald Trump’s supporters are a basket of deplorables. Nice talk for folks who are constantly reminding Conservatives how intolerant we are. I submit, that the reason for the rise of people like Donald Trump is because of the never-ending barrage of condescending, sanctimonious, morally superior attitudes of left leaning folks like Mr. Malette being shoved down the throats of regular Joes like you and I. Doug Gower, Codrington

A man appropriately named Weed was one of three Belleville men busted Sept. 13 in a joint investigation into a variety of marijuana grow operations in farmers’ fields. Ian Weed, 34, was one of the men arrested in what police called an elaborate hidden pot production network. The arrests occurred Sept. 13 following an investigation focusing on the illegal production of marijuana in what police described as “unsuspecting farmer’s fields.” The charges followed a combined effort by members of the Belleville Police Service Drug Unit, Emergency Response Team and members of the OPP Drug Enforcement Unit in which police conducted a traffic stop in the Thurlow Ward of Belleville and arrested the two men in a vehicle. Following the traffic stop, police executed three search warrants at residences in Belleville and Thurlow. Police allege the investigation “revealed that the accused had planted marijuana plants throughout fields in the Thurlow ward of Belleville, Thomasburg and the Melrose area.” As a result of the search warrants and the vehicle stop, police seized a quantity of marijuana plants, cash, digital weigh scales and a Ford F-150 pick-up truck. Charged are: Adam Rushlow, 39, of Belleville. Rushlow is facing five counts of production of marijuana, possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime. Weed, 34, of Belleville, faces two counts of production of marijuana and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.

TRAVEL

Luxembourg’s Spectacular Bock Promontory and Casemates By John M. Smith

My visit to Luxembourg was full of awesome surprises and spectacular sights, for it was my first encounter with this little gem that’s located right in the heart of Europe, and bordered by France, Belgium, and Germany. The city of Luxembourg itself, in the country of Luxembourg, appears to be like something out of a fairy tale, with its castle ruins and its many eye-popping turrets, towers, and fortifications. My favourite attraction of all was located in the northeast corner of the capital city’s old historical district, for it’s here that I marvelled at the Bock promontory and its incredible network of tunnels. The Bock Promontory is a massive rock ledge that towers high above the Alzette River Valley, so it serves as a natural fortification, and it offers spectacular views of the surrounding area. It was here, way back in 963, that Count Siegfried decided to build a castle, and he named it “Lucilinburhuc” (“small fortification”), thus founding what has become Luxembourg. This promontory, then, is often referred to as “the cradle of the city”. As the years passed, the castle and the surrounding town that grew here were strengthened by the addition of more fortifications, walls and gates, and it eventually became known as the “Gibraltar of the North”. A series of tunnels was also added, beginning in the 17th century (under Spanish domination), and later these casemates (chasms) were enlarged and expanded to become an

extraordinary 23 km.- long network, with huge galleries, strategic lookout points, cannon loop-holes, and a complex underground infrastructure that housed defenders, along with their horses, supplies, artillery, and equipment. However, under the terms of a treaty signed in 1867, Luxembourg had to demolish these fortifications, and most of the surface fortifications were, indeed, destroyed, but many of the casemates remained intact. By 1933, these casemates were opened to the public, used as a bomb shelter during WWII, and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site by 1994 – and it’s now possible for visitors to take tours through this incredible labyrinth of underground tunnels (from the end of March until the end of October). I, of course, took this tour, and I found it fascinating. Only about 10% of the old fortifications remain, but those mammoth tunnels that are carved into the rocky precipice are quite the experience! Many of the former loop-holes, used as emplacements for the cannons that were brought into these casemates, are now closed up, but there’s still quite a network of tunnels, chambers, and balconies, and it would be possible to get somewhat disoriented and spend quite some time trying to find one’s way out of here, perhaps a bit like an insect wandering about in a Swiss cheese. Stairs led me down to a huge archaeological crypt where wall plates gave me an overview of the fortification’s history, and then more stairs took me down through the

dungeons of Siegfried’s old castle. I was particularly fascinated by my visit to the Castle Bridge, built back in the 18th century (by the Austrians), which connected the Bock fortifications to the Old Town. I found that there were several optional ways to cross this bridge, including a spiral staircase up through the main arch, a passageway via the four upper arches, a tunnel under the road at the bottom, and a road over the top, too. I found that the most awesome view of the promontory and tunnel loop-holes was from the Corniche, a pedestrian promenade that’s often referred to as “Europe’s most beautiful balcony”. From here, up on the escarpment, I could also see into the river valley far below, with its winding, gentle river, its dominating Neumunster Abbey (which once housed Benedictine monks, later served as both a hospital and a prison, and now is a cultural meeting place), its still maintained convent gardens, its small footbridge (“Stierchen”), and its distant railroad trestle that towers over the valley. I also partook in the “Wenzel Walk”, which guided me through the history of the city. This particular walk is named after Wencelas II, the Duke of Luxembourg between 1383 and 1419, and during this time, a third wall (the Wenzel Wall) was added to the fortifications. A section of this amazing structure still exists today. This particular wall had 37 towers and 15 gates, and it linked Upper Town and the Rham Plateau. Archeologists have

discovered that a moat once existed in front of this wall. I passed the Grund Gate, a bastioned gate built by the Spaniards in 1632, and I descended into the river valley itself. I eventually ascended a staircase and arrived at the Second Gate Of Trier (built in 1590), and I later arrived at another old city gate, Biesserpuert, and the Grund Lock (which constituted yet another obstacle for attacking troops, for the city’s two rivers could then be dammed up). I completed this circular walk by again ascending out of the valley and

arriving at the Holy Ghost Plateau, which was inhabited by a cloister of nuns back in the 13th century. Guided tours of this Wenzel Walk are available for about 15 EUR, and you’ll stroll about 5 km. in a couple of hours. It’ll cover about a thousand years of Luxembourg history and will also provide you with several ‘photo ops’ and spectacular views of this beautiful city, including its notto-be-missed Bock promontory and casemates.

Historical Society a busy group By Jack Evans

Among the many Quinte area organizations launching busy schedules for the fall season is the Hastings County Historical Society. Arguably one of the area’s more venerable organizations, the HCHS holds free public presentations on local history on the third Tuesday of every month, starting Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. in the back hall of Maranatha Church, when the speaker will be Bobby Jo Morris, talking on the history of Shannonville. On Oct. 18, author and historian Sandra Joyce will speak on The British Home Children from 1869 to 1939. That includes a number of children who came to the Quinte area. On Nov. 15, author and historian Sherry Pringle will discuss her recent book,” Extraordinary Women- Extraordinary Times: Canadian Women in WW II.” One of the society’s major annual events and a key fund raiser is its annual banquet, set for Saturday, Oct. 22 in the Travelodge Hotel.

flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.

One of Canada’s most acclaimed authors and newspaper columnists, Roy MacGregor, will join the parade of outstanding speakers over the years for this event. MacGregor was born in Whitney and raised in Huntsville, thus he is familiar with our north country and his topic: “Bumblebees and Maple Leaves.” His many books include several devoted to Algonquin Park, especially the famous artist, Tom Thomson. His latest book is “Canoe Country: The Making of Canada.” His many awards include both literary and Officer of the Order of Canada. He is also acclaimed as a writer on hockey and a script writer for major television productions. Tickets, at $65, are now available for an evening which includes a social hour starting at 6 p.m., banquet at 7 p.m. with choice of salmon or chicken. Call Mary-Lynne Morgan at 961-7091 or Richard Hughes at 9617772. Readers can also learn more about the work of the society at its website: www.hastingshistory. ca.

OBITUARY

The Rev. Dr. W. Joseph Price Died on Tuesday September 13, 2016 in Central Okanagan Hospice House, Kelowna, BC at the age of 90. Joe was born May 12, 1926 in Barrie, Ontario, the fourth son of Rev. Major Merritt Price and Dorothy (Harrison) Price. He is survived by his wife Susie (Vera Gordon), three children: Kathryn, Andrew and Peter; five grandchildren: Angela, Melissa, Amanda, Caitlin, Hannah; and three great-grandchildren: Margaux, Lucas and Mason. He is predeceased by three brothers – David, Lloyd (Bud) and Bruce. Joe and Susie were married September 17, 1948 in Madoc, Ontario. His early education was in Actinolite Public School and Tweed High School, interrupted in 1944 when he enlisted in the Canadian Army at Fort Frontenac, Kingston, and served with the West Nova Scotia Regiment. After the war he had a variety of work experiences as carpenter, lumberman, surveyor and owner of a successful restaurant, “The Log Cabin”. After a twelve year hiatus, he resumed his education at Queen’s University (B.A.), and Queen’s Theological College (B.D., M.Div.); then with post-graduate scholarships he studied at Union Theological Seminary, New York (S.T.M.), and University of Ottawa (Ph.D.). Joe entered the ministry in 1954 and was ordained by the United Church of Canada in 1962 serving congregations in Ontario, Saskatchewan, New York, British Columbia and Jamaica as well as 10 years as the Executive Secretary of the Bay of Quinte Conference. After his “retirement” in 1988, he continued to serve short and long term supply from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In Joe’s long life and ministry he has touched many lives through Sunday services, weddings, funerals and baptisms, and has entertained and inspired many with his sense of humour and endless stories. A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life was held at Westbank United Church on September 20, 2016 at 2:00 pm with Rev. Dr. Wayne Atkinson officiating. If friends so desire, donations in memory of Joe may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Cancer Society, Central Okanagan Hospice House, Kelowna or your favourite charity. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome. com, 250-860-7077. B14

There’s a kitchen party at the church An evening of Celtic tradition is on tap for Belleville’s Eastminster United Church. Tom and Conrad are quite likely to have every foot tapping in Eastminster Church to an infectious blend of traditional and original musicality influenced by Celtic, Maritime and North American folk tunes. Prepare for an evening of fun and memorable entertainment. Tom Leighton has performed on many CDs, and for musical theatre performances, festivals, showcases, and radio features. Tom (with longtime partner Mark Haines) is an East Coast Music Award nominee and Borlealis recording artist. He is a talented multi-instrumentalist, best known for his lively, spirit- filled playing on the accordion and piano. He also has many arranging credits. His recent CD, Leighton Life, is filled with mostly original tunes and he continues to perform as a solo artist, accompanist and in partnership with Conrad. Conrad Kipping was born in Edmunston New BRUNSWICK, and became interested in folk music at an early age. He is a multiinstrumentalist, having mastered the guitar, mandolin and many fiddle styles. He has toured and recorded with the legendary Stompin’ Tom Connors and also played for years with Melody Ranch, and Whiskey Jack.

It’s the fourth and final installment of “This is My Canada Presents,” the brainchild of “Ms. Canadiana,” the well-earned nickname for singer-songwriter Jeanette Arsenault. Confessing to a lifelong and unabashed patriotism, her composition “This is My Canada” became the basis for the four-concert series in Belleville. And, never one to think small, Arsenault is dreaming about taking the show on the road one day to celebrate local artists and Canadian music in communities all across the country. “I see this project as a collective of artists of all disciplines and Canadians of all walks of life, coast to coast to coast, describing what Canada means to them. It’s a shared vision of “my” Canada rather than just Jeanette Arsenault’s point of view,” she says. The series of shows, featuring some of Central Ontario’s best known musicians, began in January with Marie-Lynn Hammond, and also featured Andy Forgie in April, and the Starpainters Jazz & Swing Trio in June. Tickets are $15, and are available by contacting Jeanette Arsenault jeanette.arsenault@gmail.com 613.243.3330 www.JeanetteArsenault.ca or by calling Eastminster United Church in Belleville at 613.969.5212 or emailing Peter Kerr: admin@ eastminsterunited.ca

Autumn’s Tapestry

Dan Clost Now is the time to look for colour for your fall garden, especially if you don’t have it in your fall garden. The quintessential plant which tells us autumn has arrived is the sugar maple with their large orange leaves. Well, maybe it is the native red maple. Wait, perhaps it is the rich yellows of the poplars. The gold of the tamarack? The deep green backdrop of a black spruce? There is one tree that you won’t find on my list, Gentle Reader, and that is the Norway maple- no matter which one you choose. (I’m not dead set against Acer platanoides; in fact, I would likely include a few of them in a design if there weren’t already eleventy eleven of them in the neighbourhood.) The challenge for many of us is that our

yards aren’t quite large enough to support a big tree. I am not a big supporter of those folks who purchase a plant that they know will cause problems down the road for whoever takes on stewardship of the estate. Perhaps you might find my stance a titch Poster for upcoming Celtic night at Eastminster Church. harsh but I firmly believe that we need to look to the future and see what it is we can Amelanchier spp, which give us the same barberry.

Poverty Roundtable meets to address troubling statistics provincially. Facing these distressing statistics, the PRT is working to create coordinated multisector action to reduce poverty. The PRT realizes that poverty is complex, and that all voices are needed at the table to achieve change. This means people who are or who have experienced poverty, as well as social sector employees, the business community and general community at large, are encouraged to come together for poverty reduction. The Poverty Roundtable has quarterly meetings open to everyone (as well as several working groups). The goal of the roundtable is to create a community where everyone experiences

Belleville - The next public meeting of the Poverty Roundtable will be held Wednesday, Sept. 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre. The Poverty Roundtable is a collaborative of more than 200 individuals, businesses and organizations committed to seeing what they can do, or do differently to respond to poverty in our communities. Poverty is a serious issue for many of our community members. Hastings and Prince Edward counties have some of the highest poverty rates in Ontario. Most concerning is that 25.8 per cent of children between ages one and four live in poverty; five communities reported poverty above 20 per cent; and recent 2014 data shows the food insecurity rate increasing to 11.4 per cent (the provincial average is 8.3 per cent). In education, a predictor of future poverty, local fouryear graduation rates were 64 per cent versus 76 per cent
