Barn calendar dedicated to David Down BY SARAH HYATT
Codrington — Brighton’s farming history will not be forgotten, nor will the people of Brighton’s farming community be forgotten. A dedicated group of volunteers is aiming to ensure just this and in recent months, photographing just about every barn around. Some of the results of their efforts were recently shared during a touching ceremony at the Archer Farm on County Road 30, as the Brighton Digital Archives (BDA) group unveiled its Barns of Brighton 2018 calendar. “Our purpose was to preserve these barns in digital images, because we know they are disappearing almost every week,” said D.W. "Fletch" Fletcher, a BDA member and a co-chair for the project. Last Thursday, the BDA invited volunteer photographers involved in the Brighton Barn Project, barn owners, members from the Brighton heritage advisory committee, Mayor Mark Walas and others to celebrate the launch of the calendar. The group has also dedicated the calendar in memory of David Down, who recently passed. The local farmer also served as co-chair for the project. “Just within the time be-

tween mapping the barns and going out to shoot them, five have been taken down,” said Fletcher. “We understand why this is happening and often there are no other alternatives for the owner (but to take a barn down), and we wanted to create this record that will live on …” With barns disappearing, this only emphasized the importance of the project and
for the group to complete its work a quickly as possible, said Fletcher. Along with the loss of a barn is the loss of its history, says the group. And in about 50 to 100 years, the BDA wants people to have an idea of the evolution of farming and barns locally and what farming life used to look like. The recently published calendar is part of a larger ini-
tiative known as the Brighton Barn Project. The photography was the first phase. “At the time of production, our volunteers had photographed 150 barns resulting in over 2,000 individual images,” said Ralph de Jonge, another BDA member. “We viewed each photo then selected 21, which we further narrowed down by way of a ranking system.”
The group has found more barns since too. Almost 200 local barns have now been photographed. With a total of 11 volunteer photographers, the group says all of the barns within the municipality have now been mapped out and most photographed. Photographers showcased the final images for the calendar and their work outside the picturesque Archer Farm last Thursday as part of the calendar launch. The BDA will be showcasing Brighton’s barns not only through the recent calendar, but online via its website as well as part of the project. The group started the project wanting to tell the stories of farms and barns built as far back as in the 1840s and the stories of a way of life handed down over the generations. In other words, the barns photographed all tell some kind of story and the BDA wants to ensure not only are those stories told, but also that they’re remembered in years to come. The second phase of the project is the research of the history and heritage behind the barns, farms, lands and local farming families.

Down’s barn featured in calendar Continued from Page 1... The group also hopes to spend time learning about the barns that are no longer standing in the area and is looking to dig up old photographs and stories of those barns. The BDA is currently in the process of attaching historical information to the barns photographed and posting those images and stories to their website vitacollections.ca/brightonarchives. The 2018 wall calendar is meant to help showcase the Brighton Barn Project and to promote the group’s website and volunteer’s work. The calendar features 14 local barns, which represent a cross-section of barn styles. Among the barns featured in the calendar is the Down barn. The group was “devastated” to lose their co-chair this summer, but wanted to honour his contribution to the entire project and so it was decided the calendar would be dedicated in his memory. “People trusted David, he was known in the farming community,” said Fletcher. “He helped us find barns we would have never found in a million years and provided so many contacts for local farmers.” Fletcher said David provided a “familiar and trusted voice within the farming community” and his historical knowledge of the farming community was unparalleled. It was also David who helped the group find hidden gems like the one barn built back in 1841. Both David’s wife Darlene and his stepmom Betty McGill-Down were in attendance for the calendar launch. They agreed the group did a wonderful job with the calendar. Cindy Conlin, who photographed the Down barn, recalled how “patient and kind” David was when they were touring the barn in the pickup truck for photographs. “He was a lovely man,” she said. She gifted the larger picture she took of the barn to Darlene last Thursday. On the back of the calendar it reads, “We dedicate this calendar to the memory of David Down, historian, heritage advocate, farmer, friend and co-chair of the Brighton Barn Project.” The Brighton heritage advisory committee funded the calendar project. There are a limited number of calendars and some will be available to the public at no charge at 35 Alice St. starting on Friday, Sept. 29. The BDA is a volunteer organization formed in 2015 to preserve, share and celebrate Brighton’s history and heritage in a digital format. The BDA consists of four volunteers: Fletcher, Dorothy Fletcher, Catherine Stutt and de Jonge. BDA volunteer researchers are: Jo Shannon and Hyacinthe Eykelhof. Project volunteer photographers are: Gilles Bisson, Conlin, Tony Crocker, de Jonge, Brad Denoon, Fletcher, Bill Murtha, Dalila Seckar, Bill Sprung, George Wand and Tim Whitehouse.
Brighton Barn Project ‘inspiring’ says barn owner BY SARAH HYATT
Codrington — The Brighton Barn Project is inspiring, says Candice Brooks, whose barn was recently photographed as part of the project. Brooks bought her property on Aranda Way back in 2003 and took possession in 2004. “It was in really, really bad shape,” she said, but “I also thought it had really good bones and that it could be something again with a little help.” Brooks grew up in the Wooler area, but later left for schooling and ended up in Australia where she was doing her masters in visual arts. She initially found her way back home again as her parents Ron and Ellen Gunter became ill. But she “always loved the area,” she said, and now she continues to enjoy living so close by to her parents. When she found this farm property on Aranda Way, it was the start of a new journey for Brooks, though not everyone saw what Brooks initially saw at the property. Brooks’ parents helped her out quite a bit, fixing the property and barns up, she said. “My dad’s really handy and my mom, she’s really energetic,” said Brooks. Many of the roofs on her barns,

there was just “too much damage” and they had to be replaced. Still, that didn’t deter Brooks. One of the barn roofs was at least half gone, she recalled. She recently compared old pictures as the Brigh-
ton Digital Archives group unveiled its Barns of Brighton 2018 calendar project. Brooks’ barn is featured in the calendar. Several of the beams in the barn had also rotted and all the windows
and doors had to be replaced, said Brooks. And still, she continued on with her efforts to restore the old structures and her "saving the barn project." It was quite the experience, she admits. Along the way she made new friends and one neighbour, she’d often trade materials with for their barns, she recalled with a bit of laughter. Her restoration efforts have been ongoing for about 15 years now, though more heavily so in the first 10 years. About six years ago, a severe storm blasted through and caused more damage, said Brooks. At one point, she decided to sell some of her art equipment to help with restoration costs and efforts. To have her one restored barn now featured in the Barns of Brighton 2018 calendar, it’s inspiring and rewarding, said Brooks, as a lot of work and time was dedicated to that barn. It’s estimated Brooks’ Aranda Way barn was originally constructed sometime in the early 1900s. The restored barn will now house goats for milking and on the upper level, an arts studio for Brooks.

Brighton community shines for Applefest 2017 BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — The biggest event of the year came and passed, bringing thousands to visit Brighton. There were helicopter rides, all sorts of apple-inspired delicacies, a strongman showdown and more, but what does Applefest really stand for? Once a year in September, just about every Brighton service group, business and organization comes together for Applefest. Family members, longtime friends and kids who’ve gone off to college or university return to Brighton for this same weekend. “We, as a municipality, we look at Applefest as our première fall festival; it allows us the opportunity to showcase our community,” said Mayor Mark Walas. Annually the apple harvest inspired festival draws on average some 15,000 people to the community. With special events for the kids, the art shows, the YMCA Fun Run and bike rides, Applefest aims to offer a little something for everyone and every age group. But perhaps what shines the most throughout the four-day event is the sense of community and the community’s spirit, Walas believes. “It truly is such a great event and it’s so much more than just the street fair and parade,” he said. The festival stretches across the municipality, with various groups hosting additional special activities in honour of the event. Applefest is very much unique in the way it brings all these groups within the community together for this one weekend, said Walas. From the Brighton Lions Club, the Rotary Club of Brighton, the Kin Club, the Masonic Lodge, the Brighton Legion, the Proctor House Museum, to the Brighton Speedway and many more and dozens of

volunteers, the entire community comes out for this event and gets involved, said Walas. On Thursday, Sept. 21, Applefest kicked off with its traditional ecumenical service, bringing all the churches in the community together, where money was also raised for the Beacon Youth Centre. People, year after year, continue to come from all over for this event, which is now a 43-year-old tradition for Brighton. This speaks to the dedication of the committee behind the event and municipal staff’s

work, said Walas. The committee and municipal staff have done a “tremendous job” again this year, and in record hot temperatures for this time of year, said the mayor. There’s a lot of behind the scenes work that no one sees, Walas continued, a lot of work in preparation and leading up to the event, there’s the set up, the tear down, the work with traffic, “there are a lot of unsung heroes behind the scenes.” And as volunteers, committee members and organizers endured the heat on the weekend and helped with set up and cleanup, logging what’s probably countless hours. The first meeting for next year’s Applefest is already just weeks away. The level of involvement and commitment that goes into the planning and the work for this event annually is exemplary, said Walas. And while it was without a doubt a scorching hot Applefest with a heat warning in effect for the weekend, the weather didn’t seem to deter people from enjoying all that Applefest normally brings. Almost 200 vendors lined Main Street. Shoppers had their pick of all types of candy and caramel apples and even apples dipped in Belgian chocolate, thanks to Mrs. B’s Country Candy.
Farmers shined on Main Street with an abundance of colourful apples and produce, as did local artists with country-inspired crafts. Those who took a stroll down Main Street may have also noticed the alpaca farm booth, Caribbean gourmet delicacies, the ‘Dough Mama’ and the ‘Strudel Ladies,’ to name a few of this year’s vendors. A number of other Applefest events drew in large crowds over the weekend, including the car show with more than 200 cars from all the years on display at Brighton Public School. The Mayor’s Lighthouse Bike Ride drew in about 40 riders for a picturesque tour of Brighton. King Edward Park was bustling with action with the Lion’s Club’s Children’s Village in full swing and its free events and an extensive entertainment lineup. The bike-art event at the park, with its ‘Zoossemobile’ was also a smash with the kids. Strongman athletes put on quite the show at the park during the Applefest Kings of Strength competition, with rope and harness big rig pulls and the like. The event concluded the Kings of Strength Series for 2017. Free public skating, which was new this year, a Brighton Arts Show and the Brighton Kin Club Craft Show and Indoor Street Fair were among a few of the other attractions at King Edward. Applefest is set next year for Sept. 27-30.
Northumberland United Way sets campaign goal at $831,500 BY SARAH HYATT
Northumberland — Northumberland United Way is looking to raise more than $800,000 in the coming year with the hopes of improving Northumberland residents’ lives. On Saturday, Sept. 23, the Northumberland United Way announced its goal for its annual Community Fund, “in order to continue the important work of making real change possible in Northumberland County.” The organization celebrated the launch of its new campaign at the 18th annual Challenge the Dragon Boat Festival in Cobourg. Last year, a little more than $800,000 was raised for the fund, plus close to $200,000 in donations designated to Canadian charities. “We have raised the goal for our Community Fund and no doubt, we aim to meet and exceed our goal this year,” said Heather Norris, CEO. Northumberland United Way’s new goal is to raise $831,500. This year, the United Way is focused on raising as much money as absolutely pos-
“Our goal is realistic,” said Norris. “It is based on past achievements and takes into consideration the local fundraising environment.” Last year, one-in-four residents accessed a United Way funded program or service, say staff. In 2016, investments through the fund were broken down as follows: about 45 per cent went toward helping kids, 28 per cent went toward helping move people from “poverty to possibility,” and 27 per cent went to helping build stronger communities. Within the last 48 years, the United Way has raised more than $20 million for Northumberland residents, programs and services.

OPINION
It’s election season. Got your haz-mat suit?
Germany: The rise of the right Angela Merkel’s slogan in her campaign for a fourth term as Chancellor was terminally bland and smug – “For a Germany in which we live well and love living” – but it did the job, sort of. Her DemoGwynne Dyer Christian cratic Union (CDU) is back as the largest party, so Merkel gets to form the next coalition government. But the neo-fascists are now in the Bundestag (parliament) too, for the first time since the collapse of Nazi Germany. It’s not Merkel’s fault, exactly, but the numbers tell the tale. The CDU had its worst result ever, down from 40 per cent of the vote at the last election to only 33 per cent this time. And it looks like the 7 per cent of the vote that the CDU lost went straight to the Alternative for Germany (AfD), the neofascist party, whose support was up from just under 5 per cent last time to 12.6 per cent this time. That makes the AfD the third biggest party in the Bundestag. All the other parties have sworn to have nothing to do with it, so Merkel’s party will have to seek its coalition partners elsewhere. It will take at least a month to make the coalition deal, which will probably link the CDU with the businessfriendly Free Democrats and the Greens, but that is not the big story. The rise of the hard right is. ‘Rise’ is a relative term, of course: only one German in eight actually voted for the AfD. But that is still shocking in a country that thought it had permanently excised all that old Nazi stuff from its politics. And if you look more closely, the AfD’s support was strongest in the same parts of the country that voted strongly for the Nazis in the 1933 election that brought Hitler to power. The AfD was founded by an economics professor who just wanted Germany to leave the euro currency. Alice Weidel, the AfD’s co-leader, has described Merkel’s government as “pigs” who merely serve as “marionettes of the victorious powers of the Second World War, whose task it is to keep down the German people.” And the party’s other co-leader, Alexander Gauland, said in an election speech last week: “We have the right to be proud of the achievements of the German soldiers in two world wars.”
That sort of comment might be interesting to debate in a university seminar on German history, but 72 years after Hitler’s death it is still too soon to say out loud in a Europe that was ravaged by German armies in the Second World War. Gauland, Weidel and their AfD colleagues are playing with fire and they are well aware of it. The truly alarming thing, however, is not the occasional echo of the Nazis in AfD rhetoric. It is the fact that Germany is conforming to a general trend towards the authoritarian, ultra-nationalist right in Western politics. Each country does it in its own historical style. The pro-Brexit campaign in the United Kingdom last year was actually led by isolationist “Little Englanders”. Their implausible promise of a glorious free-trading future for the UK outside the European Union was just a necessary nod in the direction of economic rationality – but the Brexiteers won because enough people wanted to believe them. Similarly, Donald Trump fits comfortably into the American tradition: he is channelling American demagogues of the 1930 like Huey Long and Father Coughlin. The economic situation of American workers and the lower middle class today is close enough to that of the 1930s that they responded to his mixture of nationalism, dog-whistle racism and anti-big-business thetoric by voting him into the presidency. In France, Marine Le Pen appealed to nationalism, anti-immigrant sentiment and the resentment of the long-term unemployed to win almost 34 percent of the vote in last May’s presidential election. She lost, but the more important fact is that one-third of French voters backed the neo-fascist candidate. And now, in German, the AfD. The common thread that runs through all these events, beyond the racism, nationalism and xenophobia, is economic distress. The economies may be doing well, but a large proportion of the people are not. The gap between the rich and the rest was tolerated when everybody’s income was rising, but that has not been true for 30 years now, and patience among the “losers” has run out. This is still early days, but the direction of the drift in Western politics is clear, and it is deeply undesirable. The only thing that will stop it is decisive action to narrow the income gap again, but that is very hard to do in the face of the currently dominant economic doctrine. Houston, we have a problem.

6 Brighton Independent - Thursday, September 28, 2017
Editorial by Chris Malette Election season is approaching. How to tell? The nastiness meter is creeping from “warm” to “hot enough to roast your nuts by.” We’re in for a nasty, heavy election year in 2018, heading to the polls in June to choose a new provincial government and in October for municipal governments. Sigh. I once knew an editor who actually admitted he was a “political junkie…” and loved everything about elections. After 40 years covering them, this scribbler loathes them and here’s why. It’s a down and dirty game at the best of times, absolutely soul-sucking when it goes gutter war. Case in point: the attack ads have begun. Yes, yes, they’ve been debated ad nauseam and the consensus is pretty plain – agreed, we all ‘abhor’ them, think they’re crass and classless, but, dammit, they work.(Well, in many cases they work – except the positively horrendous ‘But, he has nice hair’ campaign that flopped horribly for the Harper Conservatives in the last federal election.) We’re seeing the first instance of ‘ugly time’ on the airwaves with the first rollout of attack ads on the woman who promises to be a virtual piñata of pummelling ads by next June, Premier Kathleen Wynne. The Progressive Conservatives have unleashed a new attack ad against “untrustworthy” Premier Kathleen Wynne that accuses the governing Liberals of being corrupt. Wynne has enough on her plate trying to defend ballooning hydro costs, the perception in rural Ontario that the urbanite Wynne ‘just doesn’t get us’ and on and on. Many mutter, none to quietly, either, about everything from her looks to the fact she’s a lesbian. You say it’s 2017? Not everywhere, friend. Released last week, the U.S.-style attack features a grim-faced Wynne against a red and black backdrop as an ominous true-crime soundtrack plays, reported the Toronto Star. The ad comes with “sound effects reminiscent of jail cell doors being clanked shut, the ad splashes headlines critical of the Liberals from the Star and other news outlets.” “Kathleen Wynne is untrustworthy,” intones the male narrator in the 30-second commercial that is airing on numerous channels in prime time and on CP24 around the clock. “The Liberal party is politically corrupt. From the gas-plant rip-off and eHealth billions to their cash-for-access fundraising scheme,” he continues. “Now the premier is testifying at a bribery trial. Just imagine what’s next,” says the narrator. “Kathleen Wynne will say anything to get elected. You can’t trust her or them ever again.”

While the ad boasts a small Ontario PC logo, there is no mention of Tory Leader Patrick Brown. Wynne is threatening to sue Brown for defamation after he incorrectly claimed on Sept. 12 that she was on “trial” in the Sudbury byelection bribery case. On the eve of her taking the stand as a Crown witness, the Tory leader said Ontario had “a sitting premier sitting in trial” and that she “stands trial.” Brown, for his part, defended the hard-hitting TV spots, which are airing as the criminal trial of two top ex-McGuinty aides — David Livingston and Laura Miller — continues. They have pleaded not guilty. Let’s be clear, the provincial election is going to be all about slamming the now-easy target of Wynne and her second term Liberal government and little to nothing of substance about what the other guys plan to do. Need much context locally? Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith was quick to interject the buzzword “scandal” into a discussion on the Sudbury byelection hearings in a recent appearance to the cozy confines of his former employer’s radio program, Lorne Brooker show. The host mentioned the appearance by Wynne to testify and Smitty chimed in, “You mean the byelection bribery scandal…” Stick in the shiv, twist, wash, rinse and repeat. Last weekend, in front of a packed hall at the Port Hope Lions Centre, David Piccini was elected as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the riding of Northumberland – Peterborough South. He’ll take on Liberal stalwart Lou Rinaldi in the June election. “I have heard from countless residents who are in despair over the increase in taxes and rising hydro prices,” Piccini said, sticking to script. “People simply cannot afford to pay their bills. Wynne’s tax hikes and reckless spending spree on the backs of the hard-working people of (your riding here) Northumberland – Peterborough South is simply unacceptable.” You have been hearing it from Smith and will hear it endlessly from Groundhog Day-resurrected Tory darling Daryl Kramp, who plans to run, this time, for provincial politics out of HastingsLennox & Addington. We’re seeing the politics of smear broadly played in places like Brighton and Belleville councils, where the knives have long been out for mayors there. Background operatives and frontline muck-chuckers are hoping just one whiff of scandal will stick to their opponents. Why? Because it works. As Ron Burgundy said, “Stay classy, San Diego.”

The Government of Ontario is redesigning the provincial early years system so that there are greater connections between childcare, early years programs, and elementary school. An important part of this system will be the creation of new Ontario Early Years Child & Family Centres (OEYCFCs). These new centres will replace Ontario Early Years Centres (OEYCs) starting in 2018. The province has tasked Northumberland County with planning and overseeing these Centres for our community. County Council recently approved a plan for establishing nine OEYCFCs throughout Northumberland. These centres will offer high-quality early years programs for children, as well as resources for families. Visit www.NorthumberlandCounty.ca/EarlyYears for more information.

Brighton’s Own: Being the principal of a little piece of heaven BY VIC SCHUKOV
East Northumberland Secondary School’s newly minted Principal Charlotte Filip has always believed that you learn something from every experience. And Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPR) has certainly provided her with plenty of opportunities to harvest her dreams within its vast geographical borders: “I am always open to something new,” said Filip. “I truly believe that you miss 100 percent of the shots that you don’t take.” As a student, Filip attended Colborne Public School, then graduated at ENSS back when they had grade 13. At Queens University, she completed a degree in Physical Education and Health Education along with Geography. Upon completing Teacher’s College, Filip set off on her teaching voyage: She taught Physical and Health Education and served as a Guidance Counselor at Cobourg Collegiate Institute East for many years. In 2005, she became a vice-principal at Cobourg West. Then she took a year off to teach at The Canadian International School in India with her husband who was a long-serving principal at Colborne Public School. In 2008, she became a vice principal at ENSS, then off to Pines Elementary School in Clarington as principal for a few years followed by Bowmanville High School as principal for three years. Last year, she became principal of ENSS: “Working in a high school with kids is my passion. In KPR, you have the opportunity to experience different areas within the board and ENSS is a school that I was thrilled to be

placed at. I have always known I wanted to be a teacher, as shown in my ENSS grad book comments. Secondary is my passion. My classes would become little families, promoting healthy lifestyles and fitness and having fun and being active. I like the fact that teaching is different every day. Kids are fun. They wear their hearts
on their sleeves. What you see is what you get. Everyone at ENSS is different, and we are all making it work. Kids know if you genuinely care. When I came back this September, they genuinely wanted to know how my summer was, and I theirs.” Filip credits a teacher at ENSS, Nancy Bahn-
iuk, who still lives and volunteers in the school and with whom Filip still keeps in touch: ‘She was my coach and mentor. She instilled confidence, pushing me to do my best. I thinks it’s important to have high expectations from the kids because they can get there. Teachers foster resiliency. I believe that grit is important. And it was because of my teachers here and the connections I made with them that I was steered me in this direction of education.” Filip said that at ENSS there is truly something for everyone under one roof. With around 1,000 students and 80 staff, ENSS offers many course options. This year, they have yoga for the first time, and boast one of the best technology programs with many specialist teachers, like their four credit construction (co-op) program under Mr. Mike Treacy, allowing kids to go out and work in the community. “We have our own little community right here. What is unique is that the generous (outside) community itself is a huge part of the school. Many staff went here as students. Their kids go here and will go here, so there is a huge vested interest in our students. Many retired staff volunteer their time, including coaching. We win a lot of sports tournaments and championships. The wonderful staff makes it all happen, putting in countless hours after school.” Filip summarizes it best with, “I believe that we are all leaders. And this school is a little piece of heaven.” (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people – victorschukov@gmail.com )

Good money after bad Dear Editor, As a Brighton taxpayer I was dismayed to read your report “Council continues push to recover costs after Lakeside Landing appeal,” – especially the revelation that those costs have escalated at least 25 per cent since January and will increase further as council insisted on additional legal advice for their Sept. 18 meeting. These additional costs seem to be a complete waste of money when the outcome is that a letter will be sent asking the developer to pay, duh? I am left pondering why some council members have embroiled themselves so thoroughly in this issue and incurred additional cost in a matter that could, and should have been handled by staff. I can only conclude that they are personally engaged because Mayor Walas is the principle behind the Lakeside Landing project and they want to be on the record as opposing it as the 2018 election approaches. Some are already on record as calling for the Mayor to resign! If they are indeed intent on staking out a campaign position they would do well to consider that many voters are not impressed by an excessively combative approach that leads to dysfunctional relationships with fellow council members and staff. Such voters will be looking for candidates that demonstrate they can work cooperatively to plan and manage for Brighton’s future in a constructive way. A golden opportunity for a few good men and women! Dave Cutler, Brighton
Northumberland recognizes food banks BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Cobourg – National Hunger Awareness Week runs from Sept. 18 to Sept. 22. Northumberland County used the opportunity to recognize the important work being done by the area’s 14 food banks and to raise awareness about the state of hunger locally. “On average, these organizations help around 2,000 individuals each month — approximately 725 of whom are under the age of 18,” warden Mark Walas said in a special presentation that paid tribute to the food banks on Sept. 20. “Those visiting their pantries include youth, adults, elderly and people who are unemployed, as well Brighton Fare Share Food Bank – represented by Pat as the working poor.” Artkin and Nancy Taylor – and other food banks were The warden thanked food bank recognized for their “invaluable contributions to food staff and committed volunteers, security” by Northumberland County Sept. 20. who “work tirelessly to meet the John Campbell/Metroland needs of those accessing their services by holding food drives, collectand families” in need, Walas said. ing donated items, stocking shelves and serving The warehouse “has distributed an average of visitors.

Rail crossing closed BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – The Canadian Pacific Railway is looking to making improvements at the Stoney Point Road rail crossing and as a result, the crossing will be temporarily closed to traffic starting Thursday, Sept. 28. Starting at about 9 a.m., and until about 5 p.m., on Friday, Sept. 29, the rail crossing will be closed, Richard Sparham, manager of public works and environmental services for Brighton reports. Through the repair and maintenance work, Sparham said CP Rail would be addressing the concerns with “the condition” of the railway tracks at this location. CP Rail is looking to make some improvements to the actual surface of the railway for vehicles crossing the tracks, he said. At the time of Sparham’s announcement, there had been no word yet, as to whether the Canadian National Railway also had plans for repair and maintenance in the area for its railway. For clarification, this temporary closure is not to be confused with, nor has anything to do with, the Lawson Settlement Road railway closure.

Cyclist learns of country’s beauty, diversity on Canada 150 journey BY SARAH HYATT
Codrington – After trekking across the country for her Canada 150 journey, Howard and Cathy McCann’s granddaughter, Julie Van de Valk, is sharing a unique message with her fellow Canadians. “People are good,” she said, as she recently dipped her bike in the Atlantic Ocean and concluded her cross-country trip on Sept. 9, with about 12,000 kilometres under her belt. Van de Valk finished her Canada 150 journey by bike, in Halifax, NS. Her statement that people are good may not be one that is often heard, she admits.
“It’s not something I would have affirmed so confidently before this trip, but after meeting literally thousands of strangers, some with just a smile as an introduction and others by staying in their homes, I can truly affirm that people are good, great, generous and kind, especially when you’re travelling solo and on a bike,” said the 23-year-old, as she shared her final thoughts at the end of her journey online and in a letter to her grandparents. Van de Valk started zigzagging across the nation by bike back in May, as her way of celebrating both her recent graduation and Canada’s 150th. “Canada is a truly beautiful and diverse

place,” she said. “It has been very interesting biking, not just across landscapes and landforms, but through and over them – watching the hills soar into mountains, squish down to flats and roll into bumps.” As Van de Valk returns home to Vancouver and starts work again in October in water resource engineering, she admits, she has a renewed and special appreciation for her country now. And while there are many wonderful and popular nodes that so many Canadians are familiar with, from the big cities, to the famous sites and national parks, there’s so much inbetween, she said. “Tiny communities, wild spaces and lonely stretches of road make up the bulk of our land. And while the land is big, the people are bigger.” With this said, throughout her trip, Van de Valk estimates she spent about 99 per cent of her time in small communities and she really enjoyed it. She also stopped in Codrington to see her grandparents on Aug. 27. “The use of first names, the community members looking out for each other and me, especially in remote places, the obvious pride in where they live, the way people overcome challenges from the weather, the changing world, you name it. Small-town folks do it all and they do it together and overwhelmingly with a friendly smile,” said Van de Valk, as she reflected on her journey. One day, one kilometre and one pedal at a time, Van de Valk has accumulated thousands of memories thanks to her ride, which she’ll continue to reflect on and smile at in the future.

CCN wants Hamilton Twp. to house new hospice Women’s Institutes amalgamate BY MARY SHORTT AND MARLENE SMITH, WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
BY SARAH HYATT
Northumberland – After months of “rigorous searching,” Community Care Northumberland has finally decided on a location for its new Northumberland Hospice Care Centre. On Sept. 22, Community Care Northumberland (CCN) announced that Hamilton Township has been selected for the home of the six-bed hospice care centre. “Dedicated volunteers on the building committee have been working diligently for months to reach a decision on a site selection for the development of the Northumberland Hospice Care Centre,” said Trish Baird, executive director for CCN. Back in May, Dr. Eric Hoskins, the minister of health and long-term care, alongside Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi announced the province would support the new hospice care centre, with about $315,000 in annual operating funds, once construction is complete. The funding announcement was said to be part of the government’s commitment to expand hospice palliative care across the province. Volunteers’ work began right away following the ministry’s spring announcement. CCN staff reports the building team collaborated to research more than 40 potential sites, before concluding “their rigorous selection process to a shortlist of five.” The newly proposed Ontario Street hospice in Hamilton Township is, with all this said, pending approval of its zoning application and a public consent process this fall. The application for consent to sever 1.5 acres from a larger parcel, along with an application for a zoning bylaw amendment has been submitted to the planning department and the committee is hopeful that work can continue toward the design and build of the centre as soon as possible. Building committee members are: chair Stewart Richardson, Art Seymour, Leslie Benson, Ian Lancaster, Ross Quigley, Phillip Carter, Trish Baird, Cheryl McFarlane and Sherry Gibson. CCN staff says the committee toured eight hospice care centres throughout cen-

tral Ontario in recent months, learning from similar projects before making an “educated decision as to the choice location for the hospice’s homelike setting.” The new facility, which is expected to open in March 2019, will offer a new kind of care to Northumberland residents. Services will range from palliative and bereavement care and supports, to caregiver support and community education. The new hospice will build on CCN’s volunteer visiting services, which have been offered since 2010 and the palliative care community team, which started in early 2017, report staff. “We carefully considered every site for many aspects, such as being easy to get to, accessibility and lots of space with natural
light for families to take comfort in,” said Richardson, chair for the building committee. The committee also had to consider costs, municipal services, appropriate zoning, road links, communication services, parking, lot size and more. For more information about the building committee and site selection process, contact Richardson at stewart@rmhi.ca. Community members looking for information about the hospice project or who wish to volunteer as part of the project are encouraged to contact Baird at 1-866-5145774, or via email at hospicecarecentre@ commcare.ca. – With files from Northumberland News

Catch Brighton council on live stream BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Residents of Brighton now have the option to catch up with council in real time and from the comfort of their home. Now all meetings of Brighton council are available for live streaming. There have been some challenges for staff starting out with the process, with sound quality and the like, but staff is working to address issues and to work out any kinks, said clerk and bylaw administrator for the municipality Candice Doiron. The camera currently being used is also part of a free pilot test/trial for this time, the clerk noted. To access the live streaming option for Brighton council meetings, residents can visit brighton.ca. Under the CivicWeb box (council and committee agendas and minutes box), residents will see the schedule of meetings and the meetings calendar. So, when a person clicks on the Sept. 18 agenda, they should see a little video camera-type image. That image indicates the meeting will be available for live streaming or, if the meeting has passed, that it may still be available for residents to watch,
explains Doiron. Being “live streaming”, this means the video will be accessible once the meeting of council begins. After clicking on a specific meeting date, the agenda will appear as normal. However, in that same box is a tab residents can click to access the video. Both the agenda and video tabs are situated right under the meeting date. A policy surrounding the live streaming of council meetings is still in the works by staff, said Doiron. Once that comes to council and is then thereafter potentially revised and approved, specific details surrounding the live streaming of meetings, like for how long the videos will be available to the public, for example, will be worked out, said Doiron. It will most likely not be like the audio recordings, which staff is able to keep available for residents for a significant period of time. The videos, due to storage and space, will likely only be available for a limited time period, said Doiron. Funds for live streaming, as set in the budget earlier this year, were to not exceed $10,000. Additional costs for the initial setup, camera, and installation were set to range between $1,500 and $3,000.

Artist Jerry Albert is seen at The Warehouse Gallery on County Road 45 in 2012. Albert died on Aug. 29 and his family is organizing a show of his work on Sept. 16 at the old Kraft plant in Cobourg. Karen Longwell / Northumberland News
Retrospective planned for plein air artist BY KAREN LONGWELL
Cobourg – Hundreds of paintings will be on display in a retrospective show of the late plein air artist J.F. (Jerry) Albert. Jerry died on Aug. 29 at the age of 71, after a “very intense and fast battle with cancer,” said his daughter, Shanna Albert. The Albert family has planned an exhibit featuring more than 650 pieces pulled from many galleries, which will be curated by Kelsey Corradetti. His passion was oil painting both wildlife and landscapes. The show is on Saturday, Sept. 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the former Kraft plant, 520 William St., in Cobourg. Everyone is welcome to attend. The exhibition and sale of artwork was planned while Jerry was alive and was what he wanted, said Shanna. “He loved this community — it meant so much to him,” said Shanna. “He would have never wanted a funeral.” After he was diagnosed with cancer, Shanna said she asked her father if he would like to do a large retrospective art show. She hoped to keep him positive and passionate while going through treatment. Jerry had hoped to attend the exhibit and socialize with friends and art enthusiasts. Unfortunately, he died 12 days after receiving
the terminal cancer diagnosis. He leaves behind his wife of 49 years, Susan Albert; his two daughters, Shanna and Kristina Dyrow; and his grandson, Andrew. The family lived in the Trenton and Prince Edward County area before moving out west, said Shanna. Jerry was in the scrap paper business in the U.S. for several years, but moved to Baltimore – closer to family – in 2003, he told the Northumberland News in 2012, shortly after opening The Warehouse Gallery on County Road 45 in Baltimore. A longtime wood carver, he had an urge to paint. His wife bought him painting supplies in 1997 and he painted nearly every day after that. Paintings lined the walls of the gallery from floor to ceiling. He filled every available wall space with 150 to 200 paintings. Jerry enjoyed many adventures painting outdoors or en plein air. When he was living in western Canada, he started painting spectacular landscapes of that part of the country. Once, he was outside painting near Canmore, Alta., when a grizzly bear came dangerously close. He didn’t panic, but instead thought there was little he could do if the bear decided to attack. “I thought, if today is the day, today is the day. What are you going to
do about it?” he told the News in 2012. Having travelled throughout North America, some of Jerry’s favourite painting spots included Jackson Hole, Wyo.; Ouray, Colo.; Scottsdale, Ariz.; Carmel and Laguna, Calif.; and Wells, Maine, said Shanna. But, he also loved to paint in areas across Northumberland, particularly at this time of year when the leaves are changing, she said. “This was his favourite time of the year.” Jerry studied under a variety of Canadian and American master artists, including Matt Smith, Ralph Oberg and Donna Zhang. Many have sent the family wonderful messages. “Jerry was one of those rare folks who had a presence that demanded attention. His infectious enthusiasm, happy disposition, focus and talent were on constant display. These qualities couldn’t help but influence his work in a positive way and give it a depth that was unique to him. He will be missed,” said Smith in a message to the family. Shanna said friends and local sponsors are helping the family pull the show together quickly. There will be a live online gallery happening at isanybodyoutthere.ca the same time as the exhibit in Cobourg with selected pieces.

Accessibility returns to the forefront this October BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – A dedicated few are looking to shine a light on people who are making Brighton a better and a more accessible community. Even small improvements somewhere, like at an office, a business, or a park, can help people when it comes to accessibility, said Nicole Vreeswyk, chair for the Brighton accessibility advisory committee. And, sometimes, those small improvements make a big difference “to the people in our community,” Vreeswyk added. This is the message Vreeswyk has been sharing recently with the community and council, as she visited during Brighton’s latest council meeting and extended an invitation to councillors and residents to attend an upcoming Accessibility Awareness Day event. On Thursday, Oct. 12, at the King Edward Park Community Centre, the day will be dedicated to improving accessibility here in Brighton. The event will run from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Vreeswyk is calling on residents, families, and councillors to come and learn about the accessibility needs of the community. “There’s going to be a number of different things going on,” said Vreeswyk. “We’re also wanting to try to do a Brighton recognition award, with respect to accessibility.” The event will kick off with an opening ceremony at 11 a.m. and following the ceremony, the Community Accessibility Award will be handed out. Vreeswyk is asking residents to consider someone they know, a person or a business owner, that “has gone above and beyond with respect to accessibility”. A nomination for the award may focus on a single act or someone who has become a longtime and strong advocate for a person in the area, for example. For a business that’s made the time and effort to make their store more accessible and as a result, more inviting and inclusive, the owners or managers in those instances should also be nominated, explains Vreeswyk. Nomination forms for the award are available at the municipal offices at 35 Alice St. and 67 Sharp Rd. The nomination period closes on Saturday, Sept. 30. In addition to the award, there will be a special guest speaker on Oct. 12, though no name or other details were recently made public. The event lineup also includes an obstacle course and a sledge hockey demonstration. Brighton Independent - Thursday, September 28, 2017 17

Colborne’s Kuschnik makes top 50 at triathlon worlds BY SARAH HYATT
Colborne – Local triathlete Harold Kuschnik has finished in the top 50 at the world triathlon championships grand final. Held in Rotterdam, Holland, the Colborne resident joined more than 3,000 athletes from 78 countries recently, for three intense days of “competition and camaraderie in the land of dikes, windmills and tulips.” He crossed the finished line on Sept. 17, hoisting the maple leaf proudly overhead and finished 48th overall and fifth out of 13 Canadians in his race. “I’m so happy to have done this — it means a lot to me and in having risen to this challenge, it
is a special experience I want to share with others, especially my wife, my No. 1 supporter,” said Kuschnik. The local triathlete’s goal was to make the top 50 while representing Canada at the International Triathlon Union World Triathlon Championships 2017 Grand Final. Via the Brighton Independent and while catching up on some rest and relaxation in Lisbon, Kuschnik sent a note of thanks on Thursday, Sept. 21, to everyone in the community who’s supported him leading up to the championships. He’s especially thankful to his top supporter, his wife Elizabeth, he said. Elizabeth travelled by Kuschnik’s side to Rotterdam and made sure to hand the triathlete his Canadian flag as he rounded the last corner of his race and just before reaching the spectator grandstand, so he could proudly cross the finish line representing his country. Kuschnik earned his shot at the world championships and his place on Team Canada after taking home bronze at the Canadian Triathlon Championships in the summer of 2016. An avid runner for most of his life, the East Northumberland Secondary School teacher and cross-
Harold Kuschnik cycled 40-kilometres as part of his recent race. Submitted photo country coach often makes local headlines with wins in marathons and other competitions, but this was Kuschnik’s first time at the world championships. It was both “extremely exciting to participate at the international level, but also humbling to be up against 114 other equally motivated competitors from 18 countries,” he said. Kuschnik competed in men’s 55-59 category for the Olympic distance race in Rotterdam, which means he completed a 1,500-metre swim,

a 40-kilometre bike ride and a 10-kilometre run. He completed his race with a time of 2:25:08. “I’m really pleased with my time …” he said, “given the fact that the two transition zones required long run-ins and that the bike course was extremely technical with 70 sharp turns, some of which I entered and exited from at close to 35-kilometres per hour.” Pedalling over 20 roadway speed bumps, along with rough cobblestone surfaces it made for a jaw-rattling ride, said Kuschnik. What’s more, the athlete said he was further challenged as some narrow lanes made passing “treacherous” and changes in the road grade required constant bike gear shifting to adjust speeds. “In fact, organizers fearing crashes at one corner stacked straw bales four-feet high and 30feet long to protect cyclists from certain injury if they lost control,” said Kuschnik. To prepare for the world championships, Kuschnik said he knew the quality and quantity of his training for each separate discipline of swimming, biking and running would first require conditioning to build an endurance base and then a gradual switch over to a combination of strength and speed to finish the process so could he be at his peak for race day. Layered on top of daily workouts were flexibility and stretching sessions to allow muscle to recover in preparation for the next set of workouts, said Kuschnik. The triathlete’s swim coach, Brent Aquino of Cobourg, also helped Kuschnik prepare for his Rotterdam race. Following the world championships, Kuschnik recalled Aquino’s advice to him: “Harold, to get better as a competitor, you’ve got to swim with swimmers, run with runners and bike with bikers.” And so Kuschnik did just this, with weekly workouts between the Cobourg and Brighton YMCAs. He spent time in the pool, did speed workouts and weight training. And it appears to have paid off.

Senators are on the ice, some carrying weight of disappointment BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre this week is home to several hockey players coming off the biggest disappointments of their lives. But, given that, there sure is an upbeat atmosphere. Players with the new Belleville Senators American Hockey League franchise are now in town, some of them fresh from getting cut from the Ottawa Senators National Hockey League roster. Their job this week is to understand where they fit in with the parent club’s plan and make efforts to improve. But coming into a hockey-loving city where there’s a noticeable buzz about a new team softens the blow, say players. “Everyone wants to play in the National Hockey League; no one has aspirations to play in the American Hockey League their whole life,” admitted new Belleville Senator player Ben Sexton, following Monday’s practice. “At the end of the day it’s a process. Everyone’s on a different journey. And anytime you get a chance play in a place like Belleville, a Canadian market that clearly loves their hockey (it’s great). There’s a buzz here and I know people are excited after losing the Bulls. It’s going to be a great place to play.”
By Monday, the second day of training camp, players had only been in town for about 48 hours. But even in that time, they could sense the buzz about the team. “(On Sunday), when we were practicing we noticed the fans that were watching,” said Cody Donaghey, a player preparing for his first year as a pro. “Even just talking to the rink attendants, it seems everyone’s excited to have us here. And we’re excited to be here. We’re definitely looking forward to this season and playing in front of this crowd.” The Sens are preparing for two exhibition games this weekend, both in Laval against Le Rocket, the new farm team of the Montreal Canadiens. They’ll return to the Montreal suburb the following weekend to start the regular season with two more games against Laval, Oct. 6 and 7. The Belleville Senators will play nine straight road games before opening their home schedule against the Syracuse Crunch on Wednesday, Nov. 1, a date by which renovations to the Yardmen Arena will have to be complete. An AHL training camp is an odd experience for a coach. By Monday, the team had fewer forwards than needed to ice a team and a surplus in defencemen. But that’s how it works, explained coach
Belleville Senators coach Kurt Kleinendorst keeps the mood light during a practice Monday. Stephen Petrick/Metroland Kurt Kleinendorst, whose job will be to take whatever players the big club sends down before its training camp finishes and determine how best to shape the Belleville club. There’s no limit on how many players can be on an AHL club’s roster, but Kleinendorst expects to eventual-
ly go with 13 forwards, seven defencemen and two goalies. Some player may be reassigned to Ottawa’s ECHL affiliate team in Brampton. Kleinendorst said he’s been impressed with how his players have handled being sent down to Belleville
– and that bodes well for when they put the new black and red B logo jersey on and begin officially representing the city. “It’s not easy,” he stressed. “They all showed up to Ottawa for training camp; their goal was to make the Ottawa Senators and then when that doesn’t happen and you get the news you’re going to Belleville (it’s difficult). And it has nothing to do with Belleville – it has everything to do with their expectations. But, what you find is, over time, guys understand the big picture. They understand this is part of the process. “When they honour that, over time the guys that are deserving that have the potential, they find their way to Ottawa at some point. We have a lot guys here who are going to get a phone call at some point and they’re going to go to Ottawa to play in the NHL.” Kleinendorst, like the players, senses the excitement in the city. And he said by the time the season starts, the players will be focussed on winning games for the new franchise. “Once next week rolls around and you start the process and prepare for the opening game, your focus is here, it’s in Belleville,” he said “You’re focusing on helping the Belleville Senators win a hockey game.”

Simulated air disaster gives SAR teams real training BY MAKALA CHAPMAN
Mountain View - Canada’s top search and rescue (SAR) personnel are putting their skills to the test at this year’s National Search and Rescue Exercise (SAREX). Despite record-breaking heat, more than a dozen technicians and responders from across the country could be seen in full inform as they swarmed the scene of a simulated major air disaster (MAJAID) at Canadian Forces Detachment (CFD) Mountain View in Prince Edward County on Sept. 25. Making for a ghastly sight, actors covered in fake lacerations and other wounds were also seen strewn amongst the simulated wreckage to help add to the authenticity of the exercise. Donning their signature orange jumpsuits, the military first responders executed everything from a parachute jump out of an aircraft, medical assistance and rescue attempts during the training display. While some could say it looked like a scene straight out of a movie, the mock disaster site was just a mere glimpse into some of the reallife situations Canada’s search and rescue technicians respond to. Overseeing his fellow comrades in action was 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron’s Sergeant Jean-Paul Benoit. Benoit, who is also the deputy SAR technician leader, said the main goal of the MAJAID exercise was to see if there were any areas of the rescue plan that could be improved. “We’ve got some great training to prepare us for (disastrous) situations,” he said, adding that each rescue mission often differs from the previous. “It’s good to get experience with difficult terrains, difficult extractions and different kinds of injuries and illnesses.” Benoit went on to explain that in the case of an air disaster, an aircraft would be sent to survey the scene before a small group of SAR technicians would be sent in to investigate further. After their analysis, a larger group would be brought in to help with things like triage, medi-

cal assessment and rescue efforts. During that process, other search and rescue partners are tasked with delivering supplies, setting up medical workstations, and preparing for evacuation. It was also noted that Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton’s SAR technicians are responsible for covering from the British Columbia and
Alberta border, all the way to the Arctic and into part of the province of Quebec. “It’s a pretty big area to cover,” he said, noting that the teams are often expected to work in different climates and environments. “In six months we could be working in minus 40, but we have a job to do and we will do it.” Sporting a head laceration, thanks to the
power of costume makeup, was Cpl. Greg Denyes. When the call came for volunteers to help participate in the MAJAID exercise, he said he had been quick to volunteer and was happy to help the search and rescue technicians with training. Continued on Page 2...

SAR skills put to the test Continued from Page 1... “It’s important to be able to see an incident, how to triage, and make decisions on the fly,” he said. “It’s also much easier for the team if they can actually see examples instead of working with dummies that can’t respond.” As for the authenticity of the injuries, Denyes said he had been impressed and even joked that his new makeover was just in time for Halloween. Also in attendance and having helped set up the scene of the mock crash site was MCpl. John Fleming of 424 Transport and Rescue squadron. He noted that having real aircraft for the SAR members to work with was an extra bonus since
in previous years they had just used an old bus. “It took a bit of work but I wanted to make it as real as possible,” he said, adding that the interior of the aircrafts had wires and panels coming out from the ceilings and walls, “but it’s nice to see everything come together.” As for the aircraft after SAREX, he said it would remain at Mountain View and would be used for future training exercises. The major air disaster was just one of many exercises taking place during SAREX from Sept. 23-29, with other events taking place in Hamilton, Ont. The main objective of SAREX is to highlight the capabilities of the SAR community and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) through controlled exercises.

David Piccini to run for the Conservatives in Northumberland - Peterborough South in 2018 Voters will have a choice between incumbent Lou Rinaldi or challenger David Piccini when they cast their ballots in the new riding of Northumberland - Peterborough South in June 2018. Piccini was chosen as the Progressive Conservative candidate on Friday (Sept. 22). “I congratulate David on his nomination as the Ontario PC candidate for Northumberland-Peterborough South," says party leader Patrick Brown. “David understands the importance of public service, and has gained unique experience as an analyst at Agriculture Canada as well as working for the Minister of International Trade. "He currently works as an advisor to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, where he has developed a deep understanding of the challenges the Liberal government’s reckless cuts to health care have had on Ontario families and seniors. “Having grown up in Port Hope, David has strong roots in the community and I know he will be a strong representative for the residents of Northumberland-Peterborough South." The provincial riding was realigned to match the new boundaries set for the 2015 federal election, including Peterborough County townships of Otonabee-South Monaghan and Asphodel-Norwood with Northumberland. “After 14 years in power, life is harder with the Liberals," Brown adds.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
War has never ended in Korea Re: Editorial, Sept. 21: ‘Catastrophe in the making…’ Mr. Campbell is reasonably fair with the first half of the editorial but then drops the ball laying the blame on Kim Jong Un for the belligerence. Remember that the USA bombed North Korea to the point that they ran out of targets, Napalm much of it made in Canada burnt villages “to save them”. My brother was REME (mechanic) for a tank regiment there. I have several books on that war “Now Thrive the Armorers“ being well worth reading. The war never ended just a ceasefire, yet each year the South and the USA mount war games on the border with “decapitation exercises” simulating taking out the leader. The significance of nukes in all this, is the record of US direct and indirect regime
change. From the decades in South America read General Smedly Butlers book on being a hit man for the banks and United Fruit Company, to Saddam, Qaddafi Assad the assisted overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine and others with the sole road block appearing to be nuclear weapons. To place the blame for the fist waving name calling dangerous game playing out now on China not reigning in Kim is a bit thick. The empire expects its victims to roll over or be crushed, nukes change the game, the chance to get American missiles on the border of China is getting bogged down. Paul Whittaker Gilmour.
Childhood Cancer Clinical Trials at CCTG Established in 1980, the world-renowned Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) is the only group in Canada that carries out all types of clinical trials for all types of cancer. Thanks to CCS donors, CCS is able to provide core funding to CCTG to make running about 100 trials at any given time possible. Along with their comprehensive portfolio of adult clinical trials, CCTG is creating more opportunities for Canadian children, adolescents and young adults to access emerging treatments in clinical studies in Canada. They are working with Canada’s hospitals to allow children to receive early access to experimental therapeutics, and have recently launched a new initiative focused on adolescents and young adults (AYAs), to bridge the challenging gap between care in the pediatric and adult settings. CCTG is collaborating on two clinical trials in children and AYAs that are currently recruiting patients. In one trial, children and AYAs newly diagnosed
with a form of sarcoma (a cancer of the soft connective and supportive tissues in the body) will be treated with a drug called pazopanib in combination with radiation or chemotherapy and radiation together before surgery. Pazopanib is approved for use in adults, but not yet for younger patients. This study will determine whether the combination treatment is beneficial for children and AYAs, which could eventually change clinical practice. Inthesecondtrial,childrenwithneuroblastoma or rhabdomyosarcoma tumours that do not respond to available treatments or have come back after treatment will be treated with a new combination treatment including pazopanib and a chemotherapeutic called topotecan. This early-phase clinical trial, led by Sick Kids Hospital, will determine the best dose to use in further trials, how the drug is processed in the body, and how it interacts with other drugs.

Belleville author has a fondness for fish BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – There’s something fishy about Hilary MacLeod’s career. Literally speaking, that is. The Belleville-based author is about to release her sixth book in her Shores murder mystery series. The new title is Cod Only Knows. The theme is in keeping with her five previous books, set in a small fishing village in Prince Edward Island, inspired by Sea View, PEI, MacLeod’s summer home since 1990. “The Shores series is as much about people and place as about plot. Each story stands alone, but the same characters inhabit book after book,” says MacLeod. The series features Gus Mack, the octogenarian quilter, who sees everything that goes on in the village from her big picture window. There’s also Hy McAllister, the “come-from-away” would-be sleuth who’s clumsy with corpses. “She trips on them, throws up on them and stumbles across them constantly,” MacLeod says. And Jane Jamieson is the by-the-book cop, who’s transforming into a maverick under the influence of the sea air, rural beauty and eccentricity of The Shores. In Cod Only Knows, 90-year-old Abel Mack has gone fishin’ – and gone missing. He’s after a giant cod, the one that got away 30 years before, a 300-pound fish that trails murder and mayhem in its wake. Mountie Jane Jamieson suspects Abel may be dead – by foul play or exposure. His wife Gus insists he’s alive and sure to return. But readers may ask themselves, does Abel even exist outside Gus’s memory or imagination? Cod Only Knows will be launched Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 5 p.m. at the Parrott Centre at Loyalist College. Everyone’s welcome to come celebrate, MacLeod said. Loyalist is a fitting place for MacLeod to launch the book, because she was an instructor at in the college’s broadcast journalism course for several years. She taught reporting and writing/media performance from 1990 to 2012. Prior to teaching, she had a lengthy career in radio in Montreal and in Atlantic Canada. While MacLeod still lives in Belleville during the winter, she spends her summers in PEI working on books.
Belleville author Hillary MacLeod. Submitted photo
Her first book in the series, Revenge of the Lobster Lover, won a CBC Bookie award, following its release in 2010. She’s since published Mind Over Mussels 2011, All is Clam 2012, Something Fishy 2013 and Bodies and Sole 2014. All of these books have been published by Acorn Press, a Charlottetown, PEI, publishing house that has an interest in promoting the island. MacLeod, now 68, said she aspired to be author from the time she was five years old. As her teaching career wound down, she finally built up the nerve to attempt a book. “I thought; okay I’m not going to regret never trying to write a novel,” she said. MacLeod was a fan of the Hamish Macbeth mystery series of novels, which are set in her birth country of Scotland. Upon reading that series, she thought she could attempt a similar series based out of PEI, given her love and vast knowledge of the island. “I love the island, I love the character there and the language that they speak,” she said. “The characters I’ve created are not anyone in particular – but they’re quite representative of the Maritimes.” MacLeod’s books are meant to be taken as satire, but they also remind readers of the tough nature of life on the water. “Even though the books are funny … there is a dark side of life – the tragic things people do with it,” she said. MacLeod’s books can be found in most major bookstores. She’s also recorded them for 91X, the Loyalist College-based radio station. Segments of the stories air on Sunday nights, at 7 p.m. MacLeod said that students often ask her the secret to writing a book. She said writers have to give themselves a schedule and a goal to aspire to – whether it’s to set aside time for writing every day, or every weekend. Then they have to pump out the material and not be hard on themselves; the original draft can always be edited, she said. “It’s 99 per cent sweat, one per cent inspiration.”
TRAVEL
Exploring Eastern Europe via a luxury river cruise BY JOHN M. SMITH
Several years ago, I biked along the Danube River all the way from Passau, Germany to Vienna, Austria, and I felt that it was a fantastic experience. I’d actually arrived in Vienna ahead of schedule, so I’d continued pedaling into a section of Hungary before returning to Vienna. Therefore, I was delighted when I received an opportunity, this summer, to complete my journey along the Danube, going this time from Budapest, Hungary to Bucharest, Romania – and instead of cycling the entire way, I’d be luxuriating on the AmaCerto, an AmaWaterways cruise ship! Last year, my wife and I experienced our very first luxury river cruise, on France’s Seine River, travelling between Paris and Normandy with AmaWaterways, and the experience was so wonderful that we were ecstatic when this new opportunity came along. Our first cruise had provided me with the opportunity to research a “Remembrance Day� travel piece about the beaches at Normandy, which was published here last November, and this new excursion would fulfill my “bucket list� item of visiting Romania’s Transylvania, for I’ve wanted to write a Halloween piece about Bran Castle and Dracula for quite some time (and will this October). This latest river cruise took us into five countries in Eastern Europe (Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania). The “Gems of Southeast Europe� turned out to be yet another fantastic adventure trek, with many enticing ports of call and a plethora of optional shore excursions. In fact, there were so many trips to choose from that my wife would sometimes go on one tour while I’d do another. For example, I hiked to the Belogradchik Fortress in Bulgaria while my wife learned how to make some Bulgarian Banitsa (a pastry prepared by layering whisked eggs, dough, and cheese). On another day, I biked along the Danube on a paved path while my wife took a tour of the beautiful city of Pecs, Hungary. One of the things that I particularly like about this cruise line is that they have bicycles on board, and several cycling tours as options, so I was able to do yet another section of the Danube Bike Path via two wheels. This time I cycled from Mohacs, Hungary to the tiny village of Kolked, where I was able to visit a wonderful stork museum. I learned that this area is home to both white and black storks, and they spend their ‘off season’ in Africa. I also found out that this area has white tailed eagles – and herds of Grey Cattle (a national symbol, dating back to medieval times). I think that the bicycles on board are an attempt by AmaWaterways to attract a younger, more active traveller, and this strategy may, indeed, be working, for there were some younger people on this cruise, including an Edmonton couple who were on their honeymoon. Yet another reason for selecting AmaWaterways for a cruise is that it’s the only river cruise line inducted into La Chaine des Rotisseurs, a prestigious culinary organization, so this meant that we would be having great food during the voyage. Indeed, we did! Not only were there delectable daily specials offered, but there were also wine pairings available at lunch and dinner – and these drinks were included at no additional cost (as Maui, Hawaii
Cruising through Eastern Europe’s Iron Gates. John M. Smith/Metroland
were beer and soft drinks). We also had the great honour of being invited to dine with the captain one evening. In addition, there was also an opportunity, available to all passengers, to sign up for the exclusive “Chef’s Table� option for an evening meal, served in a separate dining room, where we experienced a great variety of tastings, with explanations by the chef himself. Our particular cruise began in Budapest, Hungary, and our initial ‘treat’ was an “Illumination Tour� that first evening (this was so awesome that I plan to write a separate piece on this experience next week). We then cruised on the Danube through Hungary, docking at Mohacs, before continuing our voyage into Croatia. In Croatia, we learned a lot about the Croatian War of Independence (1991-1995) and visited its Ovcara Memorial (dedicated to those who lost their lives during this struggle). We then continued our journey into Serbia, where we visited both the cities of Nova Sad and Belgrade (Serbia’s capital). Next we traversed the most scenic section of the route, through the Iron Gates (a series of gorges that separate Serbia and Romania). We crossed into Bulgaria and docked, finally, at Giugiu, Romania (which is located just across the river from Rousse, Bulgaria). Our cruise ended at
Giurgiu, but we were then taken by bus to Bucharest for our extended land tour, and we spent two nights at the Athenee Palace Hilton. While here, we toured Bucharest and took a day trip to Transylvania – and I was then able to research my future piece on the Bran Castle and Dracula. It was an awesome cruise! Travelogue: If you’re interested in seeing my photos of this trip, I’m doing a travelogue on Fri. Oct. 20 at 7 pm at Rednersville-Albury Church, 2681 County Road 3 (Rednersville Road) in Prince Edward County. [Travel and accomodations provided by AmaWaterways: www.amawaterways.com]

Quinte Symphony to seek additional funding
BY JACK EVANS
Quinte Symphony had a good year for its 201617 season with increased revenue and larger audiences, the annual meeting was told last Sunday. But with costs increasing, there will be a need to work for more funding, Kevin Baskur, new treasurer, told the gathering in Belleville. In her annual report, Debbie Shaw, who also plays flute with the orchestra, also painted a picture of a successful year, with the purchase of a complete set of high quality timpani, thanks to the Parrott Foundation, another hugely successful Tribute to the Brave concert at the air museum and a near capacity spring concert in The Regent Theatre, Picton, with guest artists, The Sultans of String. Various members of the orchestra also were involved in community outreach with performances at community events and a fund raising night at Chapters Books, plus a modestly successful children’s concert in May. That project may be expanded into a three-day festival with other artistic partners this season, she suggested. She stressed that there remains a need for more volunteers and also additional board members, which have now declined to six from about a dozen. She said a grant application to the Ontario government failed and that, too, is impacting the orchestra’s finances for the new season. Conductor Dan Tremblay commented on how
David Shewchuk of Oshawa was confirmed as the symphony’s new concert master for the 2017-19 season. Jack Evans/Metroland
pleased he is with the orchestra’s developing capabilities and improved sound, and especially with the increase in attendance at concerts. Members of the present board were returned by acclamation.

Belleville – The Hollywood North Film Festival has announced this year’s lineup. The festival will open on Friday, November 10 at the Empire Theatre in Belleville with Canadian film The Meaning of Life. Directed by Cat Hostick, the film stars Canadian recording artist Tyler Shaw. The film follows a struggling musician who gets a temporary job as a therapeutic clown, working to help a nine-year old leukemia patient get past her illness through music. Shaw is expected to attend the opening gala and will be performing live and taking part in the post-Q&A after the film. On Saturday, Nov. 11, films will play all day the Centre Theatre to celebrate 100 years of film in Quinte. These films are the best of the best and include local, Canadian, international and animated short films. Saturday evening will close with a screening of “Brigsby Bear” written and starring Saturday Night Live’s Kyle Mooney, Mark Hamill (Star Wars) and Greg Kinnear (Little Miss Sunshine).
Brigsby Bear Adventures is a children’s TV show produced for an audience of one: James. When the show abruptly ends, James’s life changes forever, and he sets out to finish the story himself. Following the film, the HNFF will hold its first awards ceremony at the Trent Port Marina to celebrate this year’s achievements in film and to announce the award winners selected by the Festival Jury. To close the festival on Sunday, Nov 12, films will play in the afternoon at the Regent Theatre in Picton. A selection of short films will play with the closing film (to be announced at a later date). The festival received over 300 film submissions, the most in its three-year history. The third year is gearing up to be better than ever, organizers says, with celebrities and filmmakers confirmed to attend. A list of all films can be found online at HNFF.ca. Information on festival and day passes can also be found on the website.

Take it Outside
What’s your excuse for gardening rut?
By Carson Arthur As a landscaper designer, I’ve seen it all; from backyard wastelands to front yard jungles that got away. When did the outdoors become so intimidating? Most homeowners are afraid to make changes outside for a variety of reasons,
unfortunately the results are always the same…year after year. Here are my 5 favourite excuses that people use when stuck in a gardening ‘rut’. 1. “If I replace my lawn with gardens, I will have to spend more time in the backyard working”. FALSE! The truth is, grass requires more maintenance then any other outdoor feature and while the perfect lawn is definitely something to enjoy, a well-planned garden will use less water and require less weekly attention then the average patch of grass. The key is to have a garden that works in your location. Doing a little research will provide years of reward. Bring in a reputable company to help you plan the project. Many of the good design firms have an hourly consultation rate, which is perfect for giving you a customized approach for tackling your yard. Also consider getting your camera or smart phone and taking some pictures of what grows well in your neighbour’s yard. Take those to your favourite garden centre for a little insider information because if your neighbour can grow
it, chances are that it will do well in your yard too! 2. “I have a large tree and nothing grows under it”. This really isn’t a challenge but an opportunity. Under a tree is the first place people want to sit in the hot summer months. Make this garden inviting using the following simple tips. Work with the roots of the tree instead of trying to compete with them. Plan the garden in the area between the roots and think of them as your framework for designing the space. Using shade-loving plants sometimes isn’t enough, as they have to compete with the tree for water and nourishment. Plant your shrubs and perennials inside a larger pot that is then planted in the ground so that you don’t even know its there. This allows you perennials a chance to get established. Also plan a space for a bench or some garden art. Neither of these require any work on your part and both are a great source of visual interest. 3. “It’s going to be expensive to make big changes”. It’s true, landscaping is never cheap if done properly but there are
a few things to consider. A well-designed outdoor space holds its value when it comes to resale. Also, no one ever said that you had to do it all at once. Have a plan and work towards the yard of your dreams as the funds become available. According to Realtor.com, a welllandscaped yard can increase your homes value by 28%. This makes it a little easier to invest when you know that you will get a return 4. “I don’t have time to look after my outdoor space”. Having the right tool for the job makes it so much easier. With new technology, gardening has never been so simple. Light weight, battery operated, environmentally conscious garden tools make all the difference. Gardening is supposed to
be a pleasure, not a chore. 5. “My children need a place to play”. Perfect…kids love to garden. Plan a space with your children that they can participate in. Let them help pick plants and design their own section of the yard. Remember, this is a garden for them to play in and some things aren’t going to make it but that’s okay. A garden is a great spot to spend the afternoon for the whole family. The truth is, if you want to make a change in the way you use your outdoors, then you should go for it. What’s really stopping you? Start the planning now for a spring renovation because this is the time of year that the experts are most available!

Groundbreaking for new emergency services base
Truck augers in
BY BILL FREEMAN
Academy Towing had its work cut out for it hauling this pickup truck out of the swampy patch of marsh grasses on Moira Street West last Thursday. Police issued no statement or reported no charges against the driver, but it appeared the motorist who planted the truck firmly into the greenery over-steered and lost the edge of the road into the deep ditch. There were no reported injuries.

Roseneath — The ground has been turned on a new $3.8 million emergency services base on County Road 45 in Alnwick-Haldimand. Officials from Northumberland County and the Township of Alnwick-Haldimand were on hand to launch construction of the shared paramedic and fire facility. “It is exciting when we celebrate a ground breaking in Alnwick-Haldimand and deliver something of value to the Chris Malette/Metroland community,” said Alnwick-Haldimand Mayor and county coun. John Logel. “With existing bases for both services in Roseneath coming to the point where they no longer meet operational needs, FOR SALE BY OWNER this shared facility really makes sense and we are very pleased STARTER HOME, 2-b edroom ranch. Great location to be partnering with the county to make this possible,” said . Just reduced. Call Wendy 555-3210. Logel. Construction is estimated at $3.8 million with the township and county contributing based on the square footage to
be occupied by each service. Sharing a single facility will create new opportunities for communication and collaboration between first responders including joint training initiatives and enhancing service delivery, the county says. With operations managed by a single organization, the base will “create efficiencies” and reduce costs related to cleaning, snow removal, landscaping and other requirements. “Shared services continues to be an important focus for county council, says Northumberland Warden Mark Walas. “The base will be another expression of this commitment. “It is also a wonderful opportunity to enhance partnerships between our first responders who often work so closely together when supporting our residents facing emergency situations,” Walas added. “Construction of the Roseneath Emergency Services Base is expected to be completed in the fall of 2018.

MASON, Margaret Virginia Oh, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all travelling down that long winding road that ultimately leads us to the end. For MARGARET VIRGINIA MASON that road sadly ended September 20, 2017 in Northumberland Hills Hospital, Cobourg, Ontario. This followed an extended life of 101 years, 4 months. Mom was born May 2, 1916 in Baltimore, Maryland, to Harold and Pearl (Durham) Baker. Harold died of pneumonia shortly after her birth. She and her mother then moved back to Toronto. Life had many challenges, including the Depression. On June 2, 1939 Marg and Howard (Bud) Frederick Mason were wed and went on to a further 46 years together. Bud passed away in 1985 following a lifelong career with the Bank of Commerce, ending as Manager of the Bloor and Yonge Branch, in Toronto. Together they raised a family of 5: Richard (Jill), Paul (Carol), Lynn (Ted Passmore), Don (Barb) and John (Kathi). A tireless, dedicated and principled mother, she devoted herself to family first and seldom sought the spotlight. As an extended family, we wish to recognize and praise Marg for her dedication, courage and devotion, throughout her lifetime. She lovingly leaves 12 Grandchildren (Alison, Andrew, Bonnie Christopher, Dylan, Jason (deceased), Julie, Kate, Kyle, Robert, Scott, Susan), along with 9 Great Grandchildren (Andie, Ashley, Cameron, Graydon, Hannah, Henry, Mason, Owen and Victoria). Visitation was held on Monday, from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m., September 25, at the Brighton Funeral Home on Main Street in Brighton, Ontario. The family would like to thank Dr. Xi, the staff of both Rosewood Estates (Cobourg) and Empire Crossing (Port Hope). A special thank you to the Restorative Care and Palliative Units of Northumberland Hills Hospital and to Lynn and Ted Passmore for their respectful and compassionate care. Burial took place at Park Lawn Cemetery, Bloor St. West, Toronto at 3:00 p.m. followed by a private family celebration of Margâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Rest in Peace.

Quinte West — A local woman was the target of a fraudulent gift card scheme in Quinte West, involving a man coming to her door and using her telephone. On Thursday, Sept. 21, officers from the Quinte West OPP investigated the suspicious activities surrounding a gift card the homeowner had won. On Wednesday, the homeowner reported that at about 10 a.m. she received a telephone call from an unknown female advising her she had won a $500 gift card. The homeowner was told a representative would go to her residence with the gift card. At about 5 p.m. on Wednesday, an unknown man attended the address and presented the homeowner with the gift card. The man also asked if he could use the telephone and was granted permission. While he was on the phone, the homeowner overheard the man’s conversation about the residence having a lock box containing a key. The man then left the residence and after investigating the gift card, police determined it was counterfeit with no value.
The man is described as Caucasian, cleancut, mid-20s with short dark hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt and had no audible accent. He was driving a small sedan, black, which was free of any rust and appeared clean. Anyone with information about the occurrence is asked to contact the Quinte West OPP at 613-392-3561 or, should you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.
