Brighton’s Michaud places fourth at Junior Grand Prix event in Croatia BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton — Trennt Michaud and Evelyn Walsh placed fourth in junior pairs at the International Skating Union Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating held at Zagreb, Croatia (Sept. 27-30). The Canadian junior champions were in seventh spot after the short program but they moved up with a solid long program performance that resulted in an overall score of 150.32 points. “It was a great feeling, Evelyn and I both love our long program and love to skate it so going into that day we felt good about it,” said Michaud, an East Northumberland Secondary School graduate who now lives in Strathroy and trains at the London Competitive Skating Centre. “We just focused on the program in front of us and let the results take care of themselves.” Polina Kostiukovich and Dmitrii Ialin of Russia took the gold with 165.48. Yumeng Gao and Zhong Xie of China finished second at 164.96 and Aleksandra Boikova and Dmitrii Kovlovskii of Russia claimed bronze with a score of 163.21. Michaud, 21, and Walsh, 16, who have been skating together for little more than a year, won a bronze medal at the Junior Grand Prix in Riga in September.

“After medalling in Latvia, we other good teams,” Michaud said in knew that we could be in the race an email. for a medal here, but we also knew Last weekend's Croatia Cup was that this was a strong event with the fifth of seven stops in the Junior
Grand Prix figure skating circuit leading up to the final in Japan in December. Michaud and Walsh, who lives in London, were the junior pair champions at the Bavarian Open in February and they followed that up with a fifth-place finish at the International Skating Union World Junior Championships at Taipei City in Taiwan in March. Michaud was a junior pair champion in 2016, skating with Hope McLean. The two competed at the 2016 World Junior Figure Skating Championships held in Debrecen, Hungary, in March but withdrew due to injury after placing 13th in the short program. “This year is definitely different,” Michaud said, with Walsh as his new partner. “The expectations were more on developing strong technique and learning how to compete with each other.” After placing fifth at the Junior Worlds in Taipei, “we became focused on being one of the top contender teams at these events. That brings new expectations, goals and pressures but also adds an element of excitement. Evelyn and I both love competing and there’s nothing like representing your country in the sport you love.” A video of the couple's free skating program at Zagreb can be viewed on YouTube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v32YxUjrrA .

Operation Motorsport asking for support BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Operation Motorsport executive director Tiffany Lodder is hoping the public will answer the call to help a local soldier from CFB Trenton. “I see a little light in his eyes” that wasn’t there before, said Tiffany. “You can see a connection has been made and that’s what I’m working for.” Tiffany and her husband Diezel, who serves as CEO for the new nonprofit and is also a 35-yearveteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, recently celebrated the launch of Operation Motorsport. The Brightonians’ mission is to help ill and injured service members and veterans with disabilities in their recovery and rehabilitation and through motorsports opportunities. But right now, Tiffany says the Lodders’ need the public’s help. “We’re looking to raise about $2,500 to help a local soldier from CFB Trenton, so he can go to the Race of Remembrance,” she said. The $2,500 needed is to cover costs for the weeklong trip to the Anglesey Circuit in Wales, where the Race of Remembrance is hosted. The $2,500 covers transportation costs, accommodations, meals, etc. (The solder will not be identified by name at this time). This gentleman is still serving, but will be transitioning out of the military, said Tiffany. With Operation Motorsport just starting out, Tiffany said the organization does not have the funds to cover the soldier’s trip, nor does the soldier and his family. This individual would be the sole Canadian soldier, if funds were raised, to travel with the Lodders for the event. Two American soldiers will be attending the event with the Lodders, but that fundraising was done in the United States, said Tiffany. The gentleman the Lodders are looking to help has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and operational stress injury (OSI). This individual did want to come to Operation Motorsport’s launch event, said Tiffany. “I just don’t think at that time, he was quite ready to put himself out there,” she said. Since the launch event, however, Tiffany’s met with the CFB soldier and his wife a couple times. After spending some time together and talking a little more, Tiffany, the soldier and his wife think getting involved with Operation Motorsport would
be a positive. The Race of Remembrance commemorates the sacrifices made by service personnel and their families through a unique endurance race, with a heroes’ dinner and a trackside service of remembrance. In part, it’s what motivated the Lodders to start Operation Motorsport, as it’s quite the inspiring event, they say. Tiffany believes this individual’s attendance at the race will help him better understand “what it is we’re trying to do” and how Operation Motorsport might help the soldier. “He’ll be able to see how the charities are at work over there …” she said. In bringing veterans and serving soldiers to Wales as part of Team Canada and Team USA, the idea is “beneficiaries” will be able to shadow and learn from an array of people involved in the race teams, from crew members, to support staff, or photographers, for example. (Beneficiaries is a term used by Operation Motorsport for both veterans and service members). “If we can engage him now that’s going to be a very important part of his growth and this organization’s growth,” said Tiffany. And who knows, she added, his story could end helping countless others and this could be the start of a new chapter for this gentleman. At the November race, there will also be a veteran with a disability and/or a serving soldier driver and crew member per country, with the car and crew chief coming from the United Kingdom’s Mission Motorsport. Operation Motorsport aims to help veterans and service members with numerous programs in coming years. This particular race event is part of the Lodders’ plan to help people explore and develop an interest in motorsport-related activities and skills, and potentially new career options. For more information visit operationmotorsport.org. Those who are interested in donating to help the CFB soldier may also visit the site, there’s a donate button at the bottom of the page. Those looking to donate can also call Tiffany at 613-921-6172 or email tiffany@operationmotorsport.ca.

Plans for new stage, washrooms at Memorial Park moving ahead pursue additional funding.
Brighton – It looks like the project to build a new stage with fully accessible public washrooms at Memorial Park is gaining some momentum. On Monday, Oct. 2 and following a staff report, council unanimously agreed to place another $25,000 for the project into the 2018 parks and recreation capital budget and to carry over the $40,000 previously committed from the 2017 budget. “I think this will be a fantastic addition to Memorial Park,” said Mayor Mark Walas, following the project briefing and as council also gave the OK for staff to pursue funding through the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s capital intake grant program. Following further review of the project and “project variables,” residents heard Monday, costs for the project have increased from an estimated $150,000, to roughly $200,000. The additional $25,000 is to address a potential and “worst-case” scenario shortfall. “The gazebo in its present condition needs major repairs to its roof and frame,” wrote director of parks and recreation Jim Millar in his report to council. “Structurally the gazebo has shifted more than three inches from its moorings.” And while the structure is still considered sturdy, the director indicates it would take a lot of money to bring the gazebo back to a “like-new condition.” While Millar was absent for Monday’s meeting, CAO Bill Watson fielded the director’s report on his behalf, as well as the request for more municipal money and permission to
“The current gazebo, its getting tired and needs quite a bit of repairs, the roof is in real bad shape,” said the CAO. It’s got to the point where, costs to restore and fix up the gazebo are about the same when looking at replacement, he added. CAO BILL WATSON
The current gazebo is an estimated 425 square feet. The newly proposed gazebo would be about 750 square feet. In Millar’s report, he indicates a working group made up of former Rotarian Jim Waterhouse, Bruce Davis, treasurersecretary for the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund and the director himself, are spearheading plans for the project and have made good headway recently. After working through the spring and summer and after also benefiting from some in-kind donations from local individuals, Millar says the group is in “a very strong position” and can put forward a “solid case” for funding. The hope is for the foundation to help with about $100,000 for the project. If funding isn’t secured, the project won’t move ahead, council has said. But if it does go ahead, in addition to fully accessible washrooms, a new and larger stage area, with proper lighting and electrical will enhance usability and sightlines for the benefit of both performers and the crowd, said Millar. At times, musical groups are already performing on the as a result, no hearing was held on Wednesday, Oct. 4.

Ask a Dentist ?
Why are Dentists so important?
Well the obvious fact is that with regular dental check-ups, a Dentist helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy. The Canadian Dental Association recommends a visit to your dentist be every six months. This is to maintain the health of your teeth and gums, and it is essential to follow good daily oral hygiene to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy between visits. A Dentist will carefully examine your overall dental health, as well as your overall physical health. Did you know that Dentists have detected many health issues in their patients that have not otherwise been caught by their physicians? Dentists have saved many lives by identifying diseases such as diabetes, anemia, and even cancer. So, the next time you’re in to see your dentist, ask questions, be informed, and be aware of what is going on in Your mouth.

lawn, either because acoustically it doesn’t make sense or the musicians don’t have enough room, noted Councillor Brian Ostrander. He’d like to see the project go forward considering these factors. The group leading the project has considered these details, the small performance area, the lack of accessibility, the lighting and acoustics and because of these shortcomings, really determined the gazebo-area isn’t being used to its maximum potential, said Watson. What the group would like to do is put together a structure that will provide a lot of new opportunities for things to happen in the park, added the CAO. The Brighton Legion, Downtown Business Improvement Area and Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce are also putting their support behind the project, report staff. Staff has spoke with a number of community organizations and all are said to be in favour with the plan to replace the existing gazebo. If successful, Millar anticipates the municipality should hear early in the new year. The Rotary Club of Brighton already committed $25,000 earlier for the project. Millar reports a financial pledge for future funding from the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund, of up to $10,000 has now also been made. Both the group and staff believe there is “great potential” for in-kind contributions and donations, which will help to address the $25,000 shortfall.

Presqu’ile lighthouse pilot project begins BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society’s (PPLPS) 2017 pilot project is officially underway. The announcement was made at the society’s recent annual general meeting, held on Monday, Sept. 25 at the King Edward Community Centre. “We do apologize to the people who are trying and wanting to visit the lighthouse, as they won’t be able to see it as up close, as it is fenced off,” said Dave Sharp, who — following the recent annual general meeting — will now serve as the society’s new chair. This is temporary and for people’s safety, Sharp reminds the public, and obviously, long-term work is needed to ensure the iconic and historical structure remains standing. The society’s goal is to save the 1840s-built structure, which is now the second oldest surviving lighthouse along the shores of Lake Ontario. For the next two weeks following the announcement, contractors will be erecting scaffolding 69 feet high. The
more technical work for the pilot project will follow, once this portion of the project is complete. Some of the pilot project work includes removing the lighthouse’s wooden shingles and girdle, reinforcing the 69-foot limestone structure with polymer injections into numerous voids in the wall, and installing stainless steel tie-rods around the openings of the original Gothic windows. The total cost for the pilot project is estimated at about $200,000. The pilot project also needs to be complete before the full restoration of the lighthouse can get underway — which is hoped to start sometime between 2018 and 2019, at an estimated cost of more than $1 million. “We’re now at the point where we need to raise about $10,000 to $15,000 in the next two to three months,” said Sharp. Also announced at the annual general meeting was the primary way the society is hoping they can accomplish this goal. The PPLPS has now introduced an option for folks to become lifetime members. People will qualify for the lifetime membership when

Rotary Notes for September, 2017 Another successful month for the Rotary Club of Brighton and of course, all of the lives we feel we have an impact with. It started with a busy Food Drive; supporting our Youth by hosting two BBQ’s at Spring
Valley Public School and Brighton Public School and participating in the annual Rotary Foundation Walk in Whitby on a beautiful Sunday morning. And, of course, we had our new approach “Food Booth” at
Applefest when we tried a new approach of serving gourmet Grilled Cheese sandwiches.. despite taking a bit more time to cook them, it appears they were a huge hit with the crowds.
Perhaps the busiest venture in September was organizing lunch for the National Kids Cancer Riders, on Monday September 18th, when we hosted 25 Riders and another 22 volunteers as this group continued their journey across Canada raising monies (~$1.2M) for Children’s Cancer issues. We are always glad to pitch in and do what we can to help others. We were excited to have our new Rotary Exchange Student, Emmy Ritkor join us for this coming year. Here is a bit of her story. She comes from a small town of 26,000 near Oslo Norway. She has 3 younger sisters who all have traveled a lot in Europe as well as a charity project in Kenya. After hearing about Rotary from a family friend, she has wanted to be an exchange student since she was 10. She started learning English in grade 3 but also speaks German. Emmy studies fitness in sports class as well as normal courses. Her hobbies include sports (soccer is her favourite); swimming (she is an instructor for young kids). And, guess what - Canada was her first choice. We were also pleased to have Carol Beauchamp from the Rebound Youth Services in Northumberland County. Rebound is a non-profit / charitable organization servicing Northumberland County and for the past 20 years, they have provided literacy, mental health, and youth justice diversion services. Some of their programs include: Mental Health - one on one; Counseling for anxiety / depression including support for suicidal teens; Youth Justice Diversion for young people who commit minor offences and are subjected to restitution and restorative justice including community service. They are also involved in the “Positive Parenting Program” in partnership with CAS and many other agencies. They are really about creating self-esteem programs for boys and girls. On October 15, Rebound is hosting their annual Fun Run & Walk here at Presqu’ile
Provincial Park. This fundraiser is in support of their “On-TRAC” anger awareness and violence prevention skills building group program for youth aged 12 – 17. This is a fun morning for the whole family, with the 1K walk starting at 9:00 am, the 11K run starting at 9.30 a.m. and the 5K walk/run at 10:00 a.m. For more info, check out their facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ reboundnorthumberland/ Another speaker this month was Bill Bernaerts, who represented the #515 Brighton Auxiliary Rescue Unit. This is a volunteer organization and a member of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary (CCGA), operating out of Presqu’ile Marina in Brighton. BARU is taken out on marine search and rescue missions by the Joint Rescue Command Centre (JRCC) Central and Arctic Region and also work closely with 424 Squadron, CFB Trenton, the Municipality of Brighton and other CCGA units. BARU is 100% volunteer operated with 14 active members (only 8 are available during regular “work hours”) consisting of both crew and land based support positions. They train in class (about 30 hours) in off season, and on the boat during the season. They are a registered charity and self funded. Funding comes primarily from people donating their old boats for a tax receipt and then BARU fixes boat and then selling them. They are ready to accept any type of boat or water craft so give them a call if you want to donate! For additional information about BARU, please call 613-475-4752 or 613-475-8862 or email

pbmccann@gmail.com This coming month, on October 24; Rotary International recognizes World Polio Day. It is a day to celebrate how far we have come against this horrible and preventable disease and an opportunity to raise awareness and funds to complete the work of eradication. Some of you might very well remember the terrifying polio epidemics of the 1950s, and how the “iron lung” was a testament to how far vaccinations have brought us. Because of the efforts of Rotary and other organizations, efforts were made to ensure that children, around the world, were able to live their lives free of polio. For every dollar that Rotary Clubs and donors raise towards this issue, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will contribute $2.00 to a maximum of $100M… and that will go a long way towards the final eradication. And, we invite you to set aside the evening of November 25th for our second ever, annual comedy night along with a side fundraising auction. It promises to be a lot of fun. Finally, should you like to know more about Rotary, drop by during our regular Friday morning meetings (6:45-8:15am) at J.R. Restaurant (Hwy #401 & #30 – on Telephone Road – just up the hill from the new McDonald’s). For more information, feel free to give Rotarian Dave Sharp a call at 613-475-5109; email at infoBrightonRotary@gmail.com or look us up on FaceBook at Rotary Club of Brighton. Our website is at www.BrightonRotary.ca
they donate $500. Thereafter, they are recognized as a lifetime member for the society and as having had a hand in helping restore the Presqu’ile lighthouse. “It (the donation) doesn’t have to be all at once or with one cheque either,” said Sharp. For example, if someone has already donated $100, they can build on that to achieve that $500 marker and the lifetime membership status. This project will without a doubt deplete the money raised thus far, so the society is in urgent need to raise this $10,000 to $15,000 over the immediate coming months, to give them a bit of reserve, just in case, Sharp recently wrote online to followers of the society and after the annual general meeting. Every dollar donated truly does help, said the chair. Sharp is recommending people keep a close eye on the society’s Facebook page, as updates on what’s happening with the pilot project and society are regularly posted there. (Recent raffle winners are also listed on online via the society’s Facebook page). In addition to the announcement of the pilot project’s start, the society also took time at its annual general meeting to ensure the community knows how grateful the society is for its support thus far. “One of the biggest messages we’re looking to get out there is, thank you to this community,” said Sharp. Through the recent crowdfunding contests, the promotional ventures, the fashion show and Rum Runner’s Ball fundraisers — and most recently, the raffle tickets,
with sales surpassing the $4,000 mark — Sharp said the non-profit organization truly cannot thank the community and the supporters of the society enough. Finally, also at the annual general meeting, directors said goodbye to John Warner, as he has stepped down from his role with the society. Warner served most recently as secretary for the society. He is also a founding member and has always been passionate about ensuring the lighthouse remains standing for future generations and as a heritage icon for Brighton. Sharp said the society is “sad to see John go,” but is also welcoming Lynda Blackburn to the board of directors. As mentioned, Sharp is taking over as chair for the society, previously serving as vice-chairman. Spencer Dennis previously served as chair; he remains on the board and will also serve as secretary now. Following the annual general meeting, Sharp also extended special thanks to Dan Buchanan, who gave a history on the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse keepers at the event; Brenda Sharp, “for her momentous photo of her great-grandfather,” one of the original lighthouse keepers; and to Mayor Mark Walas, for his kind words at the annual general meeting. The society appreciates the support the municipality has given so far, said Sharp. Those looking to help save the lighthouse and the society can email dsharp@pplps.ca or call 613-475-5109.

Catalonia: a primer to Puigdemont Catalan nationalist leader Carles Puigdemont got most of what he wanted out of the chaotic pseudo-referendum on Sunday: 761 people injured by the Spanish police trying to block it. One or two martyrs dead for the cause of Gwynne Dyer Catalan independence would have been even better, and no doubt the 761 injured include a fair number of sprained ankles and broken nails, but the pictures will do the job. Even the foreign media coverage bought the story that the brutal Spanish police were suppressing the popular will – so now Puigdemont will have an excuse for making a unilateral declaration of independence. Puigdemont, the president of the Catalan regional government, is no stranger to histrionics. In the past he has compared Catalan separatists’ non-violent campaign for independence to the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 and even to the Vietnam War. “Every day is a Vietnam,” Puigdemont said in a TV interview last year, which seems a bit over the top as American B-52s hardly ever bomb Barcelona. But that’s the sort of stuff that rallies the troops, and there is a minority of people in Catalonia who really want independence. There always has been, because Catalonia has had a hard time from some Spanish governments in the past. It fought on the losing (Republican/Communist) side in the Spanish Civil War, and tens of thousands of Catalans died when General Francisco Franco’s fascists won the war. Franco punished Catalonia by banning the use of the Catalan language (which is quite close to Castilian Spanish, but different enough for people to care about the difference). But today Catalonia is the richest region of Spain. The Catalan language enjoys equal status with Spanish and is used in the schools. The region’s wealth has attracted so many people from other parts of Spain over the years that 46 percent of the population now speaks mostly Spanish. (37 percent use mainly Catalan, and 12 percent say they use both equally.) So why do so many Catalans want to break from Spain? Historical grievances dating from the Civil War and even before; resentment that so many Spanish-speakers have immigrated to Catalonia; resentment that they have to share some of their wealth with poor-
er parts of Spain (but this is Europe, where that is perfectly normal); and most of all what Sigmud Freud called “the narcissism of minor differences.” Equally minor differences saw Norway break away from Sweden non-violently in 1904, and Slovakia peacefully secede from former Czechoslovakia in 1993, so pettiness in itself is no obstacle. Catalan separatists, however, faced two major obstacles: an independence referendum is illegal under the Spanish constitution – and if they did hold a proper referendum, they’d almost certainly lose. The problem is all those Spanish-speaking people who don’t share the romantic nationalist dreams of many (but not all) Catalans. A poll in March showed 48.5% opposing independence and 44.3% in favour; by July it was 49.4% against independence, and only 41.1% for it. It’s not easy to disenfranchise all those “Spaniards” (most of whom were actually born in Catalonia), so a simple referendum won’t deliver the goods. Puigdemont’s big idea probably occurred to him after a symbolic referendum in 2014 produced an 80 percent majority for independence – because it was illegal, and therefore only a third of the population (almost all Catalans) voted in it. What if he held another illegal referendum, but this time have the Catalan parliament, where his coalition has a narrow majority, declare it “legal and binding”. Once again, most Spanish-speakers wouldn’t vote – but this time, he said, there will be no requirement of a minimum turnout, and the regional parliament can declare independence “within 48 hours” if the vote goes in favour. Or, if the Spanish government intervenes to stop the vote, as is its right under the constitution, he could use that as a pretext for a unilateral declaration of independence. It was win-win for Puigdemont, and loselose for the Spanish government. If Madrid didn’t intervene, Catalonia would declare independence on the strength of a referendum in which only a minority of the population, almost all Catalan-speakers, voted. If it did intervene to stop the referendum, it would be guilty of “thwarting democracy”, and the images of Catalan protesters being dragged away from polling booths would prove to the world how evil the Spanish government is. Madrid went with the latter option, and now is seen across the world as an oppressor. Puigdemont, in a televised address Sunday evening, said: “With this day of hope and suffering, the citizens of Catalonia have won the right to an independent state in the form of a republic.” He also hinted that a unilateral declaration of independence was on the way.

Editorial by Chris Malette Here we go, once again down the rabbit hole that is the madness of America’s gun obsession. Last Sunday, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd of more than 20,000 concertgoers from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort. At least 50 are dead and more than 400 people were rushed to hospitals. As of this writing, police and video/audio witness accounts believe Paddock used one or more automatic weapons in his assault. This isn’t about legitimate firearm use for hunting and sport shooting. This is a different beast, altogether. And the gun debate in the United States heats, again, to the boil. It will simmer down, though, as it always has, once the powerful gun lobby and the National Rife Association spin machine goes into high gear. There are nuts on both sides of the border on this take, too. In Belleville, some may recall we recently chronicled the ravings of the odious antiIslam blogger Stefanie MacWilliams, who is a fervently far-right pro-American tub-thumper who longs to carry a gun (for protection, don’t you know) and to pick up her toddler son and move to the United States. Within hours of Paddock’s rampage, on Twitter, MacWilliams posted the following gem: “Guns save lives, too. Far more than they take.” It is to weep. Nevada law does not require gun owners to have a permit to purchase or carry rifles and shotguns, according to the National Rifle Association. Fully automatic weapons, like those used by Paddock, are illegal across the US, unless they were purchased and registered prior to 1986. Automatic weapons fire until the ammunition is used up; semi-automatic weapons require the trigger to be pulled for each shot. Semi-automatic weapons are legal in Nevada, but there is no end to the number of easily-accessed instructions, online, on how to convert certain semi-automatic weapons to full-auto fire. As we previously noted, in Nevada you can own, purchase or sell a machine gun that is registered according to federal regulations, which means that you can own a machine gun that was manufactured before 1986. It was clear Paddock possessed and fired at least one of those machine guns – although it’s unclear whether it was a pre-1986 legal model or a modified semiautomatic. Nevada has no law of its own regulating assault weapons, .50-caliber rifles or large-capacity ammunition magazines. A 2013 investiga-

tion from Mother Jones magazine showed that large-capacity magazines, which use more than 10 rounds, were used in half of 62 mass shootings its reporters looked into, including the mass killings in Aurora, Colorado, and the horrific mass killing of young children at a primary school in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. But, while the events of the day draw the public magnifying glass to Nevada gun laws, the broader issue of mass killings in the United States – truly a global phenomenon owing entirely to the country’s ease of gun possession by the masses – still seems to vex most people. Writing in USA Today last year, Northeastern University criminology professor and author of books on mass killings, James Alan Fox, had these observations: “It has become semi-automatic that any large-scale mass shooting will spark furious discussion concerning the role of guns and regulations governing their sale and ownership,” said Fox, using a poorly-timed pun in his statement. “The higher the body count, the more heated the debate between those demanding more gun restrictions and those wanting more gun rights.” You’ve heard the argument among the guncultists in the U.S. and certainly from the NRA – an armed populace can defend itself from such outbursts. In other words, you pull a gun and the rest of us will pull our guns and neutralize you as a threat. Most rational experts agree, though, that that merely creates a greater risk that a shootout involving an assailant and armed citizens would claim more lives. “For example, said Fox, “had moviegoers in Aurora, Colorado pulled out concealed weapons inside the darkened theater, the chaos could have been magnified with many more victims potentially caught in the crossfire. Unlike the gunman who, by virtue of planning, is calm and steady, others are caught by surprise” It seems, for us in North America – the rest of the world looks on in horror tinged with bemusement – this never-ending, sad circus will continue to spin with no resolution so long as the gun lobby is so strong and pervasive in the United States. One of the best, most succinct observations of the day was made in Tweet form by political commentator Dan Hodges: “In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the U.S. gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.”

Brighton’s Own:
Meet the light-hearted inventor of Alphaghetti
It’s Time. When you’re always worried about how mom’s doing. Let Seasons help.
BY VIC SCHUKOV
Most people have to think about their answer to the question, “What is your philosophy on life?” Joe Banbury (before even being asked) puts it out there right away: “If you’re not having fun, stop doing it.” Joe is funny; you expect that from the moment you walk past his tinman waving to you from the front lawn. (More on that later.) Born on Lake Huron’s beautiful Manitoulin Island, Banbury was five years old when his father moved the family to Brighton: “It wasn’t my idea. At 5, you don’t get to vote,” said Banbury. “Dad was an agricultural representative. The Department of Agriculture assigned information guys to each county. My Dad was assigned to Northumberland for 25 years.” After graduating from ENSS Joe attended Macdonald College of Agriculture in Montreal: “I was following Dad’s thing. During high school summers, I worked in the federal experimental farm in Smithfield.” By the time he got his degree in 1960, Banbury had worked in five farming research stations. As a result, Banbury was hired by Libby Canada based in Chatham, going from assistant manager of research to assistant manager of quality control: “One day, a manager came over and asked why we couldn’t make spaghetti in anything other than strings. I agreed to make him some samples. He took one look at my samples and said, ‘Alphaghetti.’ Three months later, it was in stores.” Banbury decided to attend law school following a suggestion from his brother-in-law who taught the subject at Queens University. At age 28, he got his degree from Queens. In 1972, he opened his Brighton practice: “Law fit in beautifully with my old jobs of research and quality control, solving problems and preventing problems.” The early 1970’s were busy ones for the solicitor. “I bought land on Little Lake Road. My Dad brought in

cattle that looked like they had gone through a hard winter. For several years, we ran a cows’ aid society here. I got married around then, and the kids came along.” After 26 years, he retired to his farm, which by then had 40 beef cows, three dozen chickens, a half-acre of asparagus and a half-acre of blueberries. Banbury has 200 acres, 20 of which are dedicated to walnut trees. His pasture management and wide-space forestry allows no acreage to be wasted. Two of his sons are the sixth generation to farm in Ontario. Banbury can speak book-lengths on topics from the politics of growing asparagus to the advantages of being a lawyer/farmer: “Well, nothing beats talking to a cow. They listen very well.” Banbury is an environmentalist: “If you “Fireplace Showroom” go for a walk in the woods let’s not have it such that you can be followed by the garbage you left behind. Leave the world a better in your Home Comfort place than when you arrived.” REDUCE YOUR ENERGY COSTS His Toronto brother-in-law asks him where he finds the time to farm: “I tell him WITH AN AMANA HI-EFF that I spend less time farming than he spends NATURAL GAS OR getting to and from his office.

Habitat helps family return to hometown
Sarah Hyatt/Metroland
It’s been quite the rewarding experience, said Susan. The Municipality of Brighton has donated the lot for the home, making this the fourth lot Brighton has donated to Habitat for Humanity Northumberland. That’s no small feat, said Jason Schmidt, Habitat board chairman. Schmidt said Walas “has been a real champion for our cause,” as he gave thanks Monday to the many involved in the project. To Bob and Susan, who donated their home, “the generosity they’ve shown, I have a hard time putting that into words,” he said. Habitat has also announced its campaign goal of $35,000 for the project, which the organization aims to raise through cash, materials and services-in-kind to support the completion of the project. Partners such as Dibbits Excavating, Pollard the House Mover and IBW Surveyors have already signed up to support the campaign. Monies raised will be used to help the family
“achieve strength, stability and independence through access to affordable homeownership.” The fall months will be spent bringing together local volunteers and contractors to work alongside the family, to build a foundation to place the existing house on, to spruce up the house and to convert it into an affordable home. “We are overwhelmed by the generosity and local commitment to affordable housing in Brighton,” said Meaghan Macdonald, executive director for Habitat for Humanity Northumberland. This is actually the second time a home has been donated by a Brighton couple, she remarked.
“Every time Habitat builds a house in Brighton, we feel the full support of the community through the volunteers that come out, the contractors that lend a hand, the restaurants that feed our volunteers and the citizens that support the Habitat families once they become homeowners.” World Habitat Day, which takes place the first Monday in October and was founded in 1985 by the United Nations, is meant to remind the public of the local and global housing situation – and the growing and overwhelming need for affordable and adequate housing.

Habitat for Humanity helps Brighton family return to hometown1-The Sparks family: Bianca, Lydia, Loretta, Christine, Chris, Leland and Carson, at the groundbreaking ceremony for their new home.
WORTH UP TO $1,400 AVAILABLE AT BELLEVILLE MITSUBISHI
Brighton – About a year ago, Chris and Christine Sparks and their kids made the move to the Greater Napanee area because they needed a rental unit that could accommodate their family. Chris has been commuting to work in Brighton ever since. But on Monday, Oct. 2, on World Habitat Day and as Habitat for Humanity Northumberland broke ground on its final housing project for the year, the family is now celebrating the start of a new chapter and will soon return to their hometown permanently. “We can’t wait to get back home,” said Chris, as the family was announced as the home’s future owners Monday. The Dufferin Street Habitat home is the fifth project of the year for Northumberland. And on Monday, volunteers, Habitat staff, dignitaries, contractors and neighbours gathered to celebrate and to gave thanks to the many supporters, partners and donors that have made the project possible. Among some of the dignitaries present for the groundbreaking ceremony were Mark Rodgers, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Canada and Northumberland County Warden and Brighton Mayor Mark Walas. This particular project isn’t a typical Habitat build, as residents will recall Brightonians Bob and Susan Macklin donated the home. Both Bob and Susan were also in attendance Monday. Prior to donating their home, the Macklins lived in the home for about 27 years. The footprint just “didn’t fit with us anymore,” said Susan. But the Macklins loved their neighbours and neighbourhood, “it was just the house that didn’t fit anymore.” So, when they started to look at making some changes, they decided to inquire as to whether or not the home could be donated and turns out, it could. “It’s just worked out really, really well – it’s pretty cool,” said Susan, who noted she and her husband didn’t know the home would end up going to a family they knew. The Macklins have been staying at the Brighton KOA while their new home is built.

Council looking to maintain ‘mature, established’ neighbourhoods BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Council wants to ensure Brighton retains its “small-town feel” now and in years to come. “I think some of our older neighbourhoods are being irreversibly changed by development and I think it’s time that we had some say in how that development happens,” said Coun. Steven Baker recently, as he put a motion on the floor which he hopes will give council and the town some say going forward. For Baker, this was the first step toward ensuring Brighton’s “ambience” remains. Backed by a majority of council, Baker’s motion for staff to research and include a mature/established neighbourhoods policy for the municipality passed. His motion further directed staff that between the research and before a permanent bylaw comes forward, an interim bylaw should also come to council for approval, so the municipality does have the ability “to control development in the
mature/established neighbourhoods.” Baker said he chose to bring forward the motion for a number of reasons. “As we all know, we’ve had a great influx of, I guess I’ll use the word ‘transplants’ from the GTA and other areas, which is much appreciated,” he said. “And they move to Brighton for a reason, and one of them is we are an older community and there’s an ambience [here]. There’s a vision you see when you come into the community.” Baker wants to see that stay, as do others by the way of their vote in support of the councillor’s motion. Baker also talked with residents and got some feedback that way, he said. What he’s gathered is that residents are tired of being “told by Queen’s Park, and the bureaucrats in Queen’s Park, how our community is going to grow and what it’s going to look like.” The specifics for the Brighton mature or established neighbourhoods initiative have yet to be worked out. The ar-
Councillor Steven Baker wants Brighton to maintain its smalltown charm. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland
eas that would be considered “mature or established” have also yet to be identified. Planning staff was also not present at the meeting when the motion was brought forward. Still, Baker believes coun-
cil has a responsibility “to the taxpayer to try and retain some of that small-town feel.” Before bringing his motion to council, Baker did indicate he had already met with Stephen Ashton — manager of planning, building and community development for the municipality — to discuss the potential of a mature/established neighbourhoods plan. He said he had also done some of his own research into what other communities have in place. Obviously, there are some things to be “ironed out” with respect to an interim bylaw, but there are numerous versions of it out there in other communities, said Baker. But, Baker’s recent motion wasn’t met without some concern. Coun. Roger McMurray anticipates it will be difficult for the municipality in terms of defining what exactly is “mature and established,” as well as what that means for Brighton neighbourhoods and residents. He said it might be like
“walking into a minefield,” and when it came down to the vote, McMurray hollered, “Sure, I’ll support this.” Both Mayor Mark Walas and Coun. Mary Tadman also expressed concern without planning staff present at the meeting, and as a result, they did not vote in favour of the motion going ahead at the time. Walas wanted the motion deferred until planning staff was present to speak to the motion and so council could ask questions, as did Coun. Tadman. The mayor also expressed concern “with Bill 39 having its second reading on the floor, which is bringing potentially some sweeping changes to the OMB and a number of different things.” Walas thought a deferral might be wise to ensure staff didn’t enter into work that may potentially have to be reversed. Ultimately, the motion passed in a 5-2 vote, with many like Coun. John Martinello believing there will be “lots of opportunity to talk with the planner” moving forward.

Brighton’s Main Street a priority road reconstruction project BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — As of September, a total of seven new projects have officially been identified and approved by council as priorities for Brighton. Council is hopeful Brighton may get some help from the province for funding and more specifically, a road reconstruction project for Main Street. Municipal staff recently provided council with an update on Brighton’s 2013 asset management plan (AMP) and ongoing work to overhaul the plan, as well as new asset management related strategies. “As council is aware, we’ve been very aggressive in doing some of the infrastructure projects in the community the last few years,” said Linda Widdifield, director of finance and administrative services, as the list of new priority projects was presented to council. The projects originally identified in Brighton’s AMP in 2013 are now mostly complete, reports the director. The latest project list will now be included in Brighton’s plan. Currently, staff is in the midst of updating the plan and hopes improvements to the plan will aid the municipality in grant applications. Staff is slated to return to council with a “completely rewritten” plan in the near future. However, in the meantime, some work completed thus far, including the priority projects recently identified was shared with council. Widdifield, who spoke to the report prepared by Lucas Kelly, manager of capital infrastructure, said staff want the province to see “we are working toward our improvements in our plan.” Staff ’s hope is a strengthened AMP and the addition of new strategies will help Brighton in its future pursuits for funding assistance, as it has been difficult to obtain application-based funding through grants, especially for road and

Avenue, is due for all the same work, just at an estimated cost of about $430,000. Russell Street, from Ontario to Centre also needs road reconstruction and storm/sewer, sanitary and water services work, costing about $665,000. Also on the list is Gross Street, from Prince Edward to Perry Avenue and Pinnacle Street South, from Elizabeth Street to the end, both of which require the same type work as the Russell Street project. The estimated cost for Gross Street is about $515,000 and the Pinnacle project about $650,000. The largest of the seven projects is, of course, the upgrades needed to the water pollution control plant; the scope of the project has yet to be determined. Costs are anticipated anywhere between $6.5 and $21 million, if council chooses to pursue a new mechanical plant. Finally, Main Street, from Young and George streets, to the former town limits is due for a full road reconstruction and widening, as well as infrastructure improvements and upgrades, estimated at about more than $5.1 million. It’s this project council is recently throwing its weight behind and is hopeful through an OCIF top-up applicationbased fund, perhaps Brighton can get some help. Chief administrative officer Bill Watson reports the municipality is potentially eligible for about $1.4 million through the fund, though there are no guarantees. The Main Street project wouldn’t be completed all at once. With the application for funding, council is pushing to pursue work on Main Street, from Young and George to west of Maplewood as a start. “This is application based and we might as well attempt to get as much money as we can through this program and see
underground projects, as outlined in staff ’s latest report. Grant applications like the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) and the Community Water and Wastewater Fund also have a requirement for priority projects to be listed in an AMP, say staff. The recently identified priority projects are as follows: Addison Street, from Maplewood Avenue to Centre Street requires road reconstruction, along with storm/sewer, sanitary, water services and water main work, at an estimated if we can do it,” said Mayor Mark Walas. cost of about $450,000.

Codrington WI helping hospice and hospital BY SARAH HYATT
Codrington — The Codrington Women’s Institute (WI) is giving back to its community and beyond. In the past few months, the community has lost a number of residents. As a result, the WI has spent a great deal of time catering several funeral receptions. “The Codrington Women’s Institute doesn’t normally make donations to other groups, preferring to use our funds for WI community projects,” said Cathy McCann, past president for the WI and catering co-ordinator for the group. But, considering the recent losses the community has endured and the extra funds the WI now has from catering services, the group would like to do some good for those in need. “We decided to put the extra funds to good use, donating to four worthy causes in our area and for specific items,” said McCann. On Tuesday, Sept. 26, following a community breakfast at the Codrington Community Centre, the group announced two donations totalling $3,000 to both the Bridge Hospice and the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation (CMHF). Funds from the WI will help the hospice with the purchase of audio equipment and entertainment upgrades, while the hospital’s housekeeping department will be able to purchase of a new industrial washer and dryer. “All of us at the Bridge Hospice are so grateful to the Codrington Women’s Institute for their generous gift,” said Kerri-Anne Wilson, director of clinical services and operations. “We have witnessed many times how listening to familiar music or watching a favourite movie can bring comfort, a smile and meaning to our hospice residents and families — even at the most difficult of times.” The current CD and DVD collections at the hospice are rather limited, admits Wilson. The donation will help the hospice to “offer a richer collection of music and movies,” with $1,000 going to the purchase of items like a couple dozen CDs, a portable CD player or some type of stereo/radio system, audio books, three sets of quality headphones and DVDs. For residents at end-of-life, this donation will help provide them with the opportunity to potentially reminisce with the music of their youth or share memories of a favourite movie, said Wilson. And although not all residents at the hospice will be able to watch a full-length movie, family members spending long hours at a bedside are sure to also find watching a show with their loved ones both diverting and therapeutic, said Wilson. Similarly, the $2,000 donation to the hospital won’t be put toward a large-scale project, or an item like an X-ray machine or a new hospital bed. Instead, as mentioned, it will be
put toward the purchase of a new industrial washer and dryer for the housekeeping department. This may seem like a really simple or basic item, but it’s an important item for the hospital, for staff and in regards to infection control, said John Russell, executive director for the CMHF. The provincial government doesn’t fund medical equipment at the hospital or equipment like this, “so we’re really thankful for the community stepping up like this to help our housekeeping department out,” said Russell. The Codrington Women’s Institute will make two more donations on Sunday, Oct. 22, during the Health Fair at the Codrington Community Centre.

ENSS remembers Terry Fox with unique fun run BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton – East Northumberland Secondary School held its 35th annual Terry Fox Run Sept. 28 and it was a lot more colourful than any of its predecessors. “We changed things around a little bit this year ... We did a Color Run,” ENSS principal Charlotte Filip said. “It was fabulous.” The Color Run, says the website dedicated to advancing the event’s mission, “is a unique paint race that celebrates healthiness, happiness, and individuality. Now the largest running series in the world, The Color Run has been experienced by over 6 million runners worldwide in 35+ countries.” It’s a five-kilometre, untimed event in which participants “are doused from head to toe” in different colours at each kilometre. There are only two rules: participants wear white at the starting line, and finish “plastered” in colour. “The heat broke, it was a wonderful day,” Filip said. Also new this year was a group of students who took charge of organizing the event. Taking the name Be Like Terry, the 14 students involved in the group “did a lot of the legwork” in conjunction with staff advisors Colin
ENSS students kept up tradition by overwhelmingly supporting the school’s annual Terry Fox Run held Sept. 28. Photo submitted
Jagoe and Betty-Lynne Bird. “They have been amazing,” Filip said. The group also led the Terry Fox assembly held earlier in the month, and organized the pancake breakfast that raised in excess of $1,800 for the Terry Fox Foundation, which has funded more than 1,200 cancer research proj-
ects since 1980. Filip said the school encouraged the students more so than it has in the past to “really think about the meaning of this run” and why it was important to them and to the school. “Our kids rose again to the challenge and it was very successful.” Holly Tetzlaff led all students in
raising $3,456, while another student, Brendan Pennington, collected more than $1,000. “It was not uncommon for students to raise over $300,” Filip said. It’s too early to say how much the school has raised in total for the Terry Fox Foundation at this point. “We don’t know yet,” Filip said Monday, but “we’re definitely on our way to, hopefully, a record-breaking year.” Fundraising events included a student dance and a golf tournament. Last week’s run was kicked off by Colborne’s Oak Ridge Percussion drumline led by Chad Morford, a music teacher at Colborne Public School. Brighton Mayor Mark Walas and school board trustee Cyndi Dickson followed by delivering a few remarks. The route for the five-kilometre run as usual included a section of Dunnett Orchards. Some of the students ran the distance while others walked. The event once again “was a school and greater community coming together to truly demonstrate tradition, excellence and heart,” Filip said. “Terry would have been proud of our ENSS community.” The high school has raised more than $1million for cancer research since 1982.

Trent Hills — Open air burning permits will no longer be issued for free here. Council approved a recommendation by Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake that the municipality charge $20 for each application to set an urban or rural recreational fire, or a “farming fire.” “Any oversized or special fires will have a higher cost of $100 per burn permit application, as a site visit is required prior to approval,” he added in a report to council. Trent Hills had been the only municipality in Northumberland County not to charge a fee. Obtaining a permit will be easier as applicants will be able to do so online, through the municipal website. This will also reduce staff time handling applications, which Blake told council currently costs $70 to $90 to process.
Anyone who obtains an open air burning permit must comply with the Environmental Protection Act of Ontario and “ensure that smoke and odour does not interfere with the ability of neighbours to enjoy their property or conduct their business without disruption," Blake wrote. “They must watch where their smoke travels and not burn when there are smog alerts, foggy conditions or wind that will carry the smoke in a direction that will disrupt adjacent roadways or properties.” Blake noted the new system will incorporate a Who's Responding App that will enable firefighters see the exact location of properties with permits. The system requires the permit-holder to let the fire department know when burning is to take place. Previously, burn permits were issued for a one-year period, without any notification required. As of Sept. 19, 592 burn permits had been issued.

Quinte West on the hunt for a doctor whisperer BY ERIN STEWART Trenton — Quinte West is looking for a talent scout, of sorts, to help land doctors in the community. The community physician recruitment and retention committee, formed in August, is looking to hire a physician recruitment and retention co-ordinator for a full-time, six-month temporary position with the opportunity for renewal. The City of Quinte West and the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF) have each contributed $50,000 to fund the new recruitment and retention program, said Wendy Warner, executive director of the TMHF, and the first thing on the list is to hire a co-ordinator. “We will be looking or someone ASAP,” said Warner. “We will be putting out an advertisement shortly because we want to have them in place as quickly as possible to hit the ground running, there’s a lot of work to be done.” The co-ordinator will be in charge of advertising and promoting the community to potential physicians and co-ordinating programs already in place, making sure people do not fall through the cracks, said Warner. “We really need to improve our engagement of the people who are coming here and sell the quality of life of being a physician in our community, with our without hospital privileges,” she said. “We have to do something for the community that’s more active, with a dedicated body that’s got the drive and the passion to want to make it happen and put the time in, that’s a full-

time position.” There is a need for community physicians at the moment, but Warner said the committee recognizes it’s more about what the community’s future looks like as physicians retire and the need grows. “Over the next period of time, there will be several physicians that are going to be retiring, those physicians are carrying huge rosters of patients, upwards of 3,000 patients, the new young docs start with a much, much smaller roster,” she said. “We are going to have quite
a few people without docs and no access to primary care, that, in turn, puts the weight on the hospital, on the emergency department.” That means the city needs to recruit at least twice as many new physicians to carry the patient rosters of retiring physicians. John Smylie, chair of the community physician recruitment and retention committee, said the committee held its first meeting this week to discuss the hiring of the co-ordinator and to also flush out the roles and
for doctors and having a community driven process to get leads for doctors, to bring them to Quinte,” said Smylie, noting the recruiting and retention program is mainly for recruiting family physicians but it will not be limited to that and all leads will be pursued. Smylie stressed that it’s a community driven program, acknowledging that Quinte Health Care has a recruiting program for the hospital, but the city needs support. “We’re going to be looking to the community for support as we run activities to sell our community to the doctors, a big part of this is going to be a social side so they enjoy the community and they get to know the people in our community,” said Smylie. “I think we need to sell our community, it’s a great place to be.” The City of Quinte West’s physician recruitment incentive is $100,000, generally paying $20,000 per year over five years, said David Clazie, director of corporate and financial services. As other communities increase their incentives, Smylie said it would become more challenging to recruit if a plan is not developed to sell the community. The committee did approach Brighton council for support, but Smylie said council deferred its decision at this time. For more information on the physician recruitment and retention co-ordinator position, contact Wendy Warner at 613392-2540 ext. 5403. Smylie said they are looking for someone who is outgoing, friendly, energetic and committed with some medical and gov-
responsibilities for the committee. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, chief administrative officer Charlie Murphy, councillors Sally Freeman and Michael Kotsovos, two members of Our TMH including Smylie and Sharon Urquhart, plus Phil Wild, Wendy Warner and Daryl Smith from the TMHF, a community member and Quinte Health Care representative were a part of the committee meeting. “Really what we want to do is bring the community on board in really recognizing the need ernment program knowledge.

story,” said Maj. William March, Chair of the NAFMC board of directors. The stories form the linkages and bonds that bring the past alive for the present and set us up for how we’re going to deal with the present, he said. “Each and every one of the individuals and organizations that those stones represent have touched us in so many ways, and created stories of their own and those stories are so important to who we are and what we are,” said March. Colonel Mark Goulden, commanding officer of 8 Wing Trenton, said it was honour to participate in this year’s Ad Astra dedication cer-
emony, dedicating 226 Ad Astra Stones placed between July 15, 2016 and July 15, 2017. “I am humbled by the names that are engraved on the over 12,000 Ad Astra stones that are placed throughout this park, I am also reminded of those who are serving at 8 Wing today, including our personnel deployed,” he said. The celebration also marked the 100th anniversary of the Royal Flying Corp Canada, the first military pilot training in Canada in 1917. “We honour the people whose paths intersect here at this museum, the people who defend and represent the values and principles that we treasure as a nation and those paths started 100 years ago,” said Goulden. “While those who served in the Royal Flyer Corp in the earliest days of the Royal Air Force have long past, I can assure you that their spirit
lives in the airmen and airwomen of the RCAF today and in the names permanently engraved in the stones in this park.” Goulden spoke of his gratitude for all of the names engraved on the stones and thanked the staff and volunteers dedicated to the work of museum and their commitment of ensuring the history and heritage is preserved. The Ad Astra Stone Program was originally proposed by Maj. Roy Skillicorn and developed by Colonel “Cy” Yarnell. To date, more than 12,000 stones have been placed in the park, raising more than $1.1 million for the museum, succeeding far beyond its expectation. The donation required for a stone in 2016/2017 is $160.

Northumberland on a roll, yet to lose in regulation BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Colborne — The Northumberland Stars have yet to lose in regulation. The team won its first two games and then dropped two of its next three contests, both in overtime. The Stars' 3-0-2 record leaves them sitting in the middle of the pack in the South Division of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League, tied for fifth place with the Tottenham Steam at eight points. The St. George Ravens lead the division with seven wins in seven matches. The Stars fell 8-7 to the Ravens Oct. 1 despite outshooting the home side 70-46, holding a 7-3 lead heading into the third period, and getting a five-point performance from the game's first star, Tyler McGregor, who scored four goals. The Ravens' Jackson Swindells, the game's second star, played a huge role in deciding the game, making 63 saves, as did his teammate, Joshua Gill, who registered two goals and two assists, one of them on the game-winning goal in OT. Tim Lavigne, Matt Davies and Evan Wasylyk also scored for the Stars. Robert James collected four assists. Northumberland scored four straight goals, three of them on the power play, to break a 3-3 tie in the second period, only to see the home team follow suit in the final 20 minutes, to force overtime. Curtis Campbell stopped 38 of the 46 shots
he faced. The game was the third in three nights for Northumberland. It began its long weekend with a 4-3 shootout loss to the North York Renegades Sept. 29. The home team built a 3-0 lead before the Stars replied on a goal by James at 18:40 in the first period. Northumberland tied it with two goals in the second, by Tyler Brackin and Wasylyk. The Renegades won the game in a shootout with Jonathan Schillaci scoring the winner. Northumberland's Aaron Esposito was named the game's second star, stopping 37 of 41 shots. The Stars rebounded by downing the Toronto Predators 6-1 the following day. Davies led the way with a hat trick, while Brackin, Wasylyk and Bo Stevenson potted one goal apiece. Davies wasn't the game's first star, however. He was edged out by teammate Ilshat Zaripov who was accorded top honours on the basis of a .978 save percentage, stopping all but one of the 45 shots directed his way. Wasylyk leads the team in scoring with five goals and six assists. Right behind him are Brackin (6-3) and McGregor (5-4) at nine points, followed by Davies (5-3) and James (25). Northumberland will play its first home game at the Keeler Centre Oct. 13 against the Oshawa Riverkings. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Big names sent to Belleville, as AHL Senators get ready for debut BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – A new era of Belleville hockey starts Friday night. The Belleville McFarlands, an Ontario Hockey Association Senior A team, was the toast of the town in the 1950s and early 60s – especially in ’59 when they won the World Championships. The Belleville Bulls then held local fans’ hearts from the early 80s until 2015, when the team was sold and sent to Hamilton, ending 34 years as an Ontario Hockey League franchise. Now, it’s the Belleville Senators turn. One year, plus one week, after Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk announced he would bring the NHL team’s minor league affiliate to the Friendly City, the Belleville Senators are about to debut. The team plays its first American Hockey League regularseason games this weekend at Place Bell, the home of the Montreal Canadiens new AHL affiliate. The first game starts at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. They’ll play again at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. The games will mark Belleville’s first foray into professional hockey. The Macs were technically amateurs. And, as OHLers, Bulls were “semi-pros.” As the Belleville Sens roster shapes up, it’s becoming clear that this team will be made up of players who are not normally seen in small Ontario towns. Among players assigned to Belleville in the past week were a one-time NHL star goaltender and the most valuable player of last year’s world junior championships. Andrew Hammond, “the Hamburglar” cleared waivers and was assigned to Belleville last Friday. Hammond earned the nickname of “Hamburglar” when he was called up to the Senators in the second half of the 2014-15 season and went on an incredible puck-stopping run in replace
derson and Mike Condon, who both recently signed hefty new contracts. Also last week, defencemen Thomas Chabot and Ben Harpur were assigned to Belleville. In Chabot and Harpur, Belleville receives two young defencemen to add to a defence corps that already includes Andreas Englund, Christian Jaros, Patrick Sieloff and Erik Burgdoefer. Named the MVP of the 2017 World Juniors, where he helped Canada win a silver medal, Chabot made his NHL debut last season playing in one game for the Ottawa Senators after being drafted 18th overall in 2015. Harpur has played 11 games in the NHL over the past two seasons, registering a single assist. He spent the majority of the 2016-17 season in the AHL with the Binghamton Senators. As of Monday, Oct. 2, the Belleville Sens had 27 players on their roster, with Max McCormick being added to the team after being cut from Ottawa and clearing waiver. The Belleville Senators assigned Daniel Ciampini and Macoy Erkamps to the ECHL’s Brampton Beast. Also Ethan Werek Belleville Senators players celebrate a goal during a pre- was released from his professional tryout and will also join the Beast. season game against Laval. Submitted photo
Sens split two preseason games of the Sens’ regular goaltender Craig Anderson, who was injured at the time. Hammond posted a 20-1-2 record that season and a sparkling 1.79 goals against average. He has since come down to Earth and has battled injuries of his own. Last year he played just 11 games between the NHL and AHL – none of them beyond February when he was shut down with a hip injury. He’s now third on the NHL team’s depth charts, behind An-
Rebels still looking for its first win BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Campbellford — The Campbellford Rebels are reliving last season by digging themselves a hole in the Provincial Junior Hockey League standings. They're mired in last place in the East Todd Division and are still looking for their first win after five games. Campbellford was smoked 12-0 and 12-1 by the Port Hope Panthers to open the season, and then got hammered 10-3 by Gananoque and 13-0 by Picton before playing its first home game last Saturday at the Warkworth arena. It did not go well. The Amherstview Jets did what every other team in the division has been doing to the Rebels, and that was administer a thrashing, this one by a score of 9-1. So that's five goals for and 56 against for the Rebels. The only players to have scored so far are Travis Bennett, Benny Scarr-Cromas, Kurt Gibbs, Brock Gregory and Matt Moran.
Travis Frankland, Mike Ellis and Nathan Walford have shared goaltending duties and combined have faced 305 shots, stopping 249 of them for a save percentage of .816. It hasn't helped that six of Campbellford's players have been handed suspensions during the losing streak — five games in total for Caleb Outred, and two apiece for Jake Outred, Will Arsenault, Matt Henderson, Austin Vallier and Brady Cross. The team leads the division in penalty minutes with 216, with 66 of them on 21 infractions being handed out in Saturday's loss. The visitors had half as many penalty minutes, 33 on 12 infractions. The Jets scored two of their goals on nine power plays. Campbellford's lone tally, by Bennett in the second period, was with the team holding a man advantage. The Rebels travel to Napanee Friday for their next game and then host the Picton Pirates Saturday at the Campbellford-Seymour Community Centre. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
The Senators split two pre-season games with the Laval Rocket on the weekend. On Saturday, Belleville won 3-1. Max Lajoie had a goal and assists to lead the Sens and Danny Taylor made 21 saves in goal to pick up the win. On Sunday, the Sens lost 7-5 to Laval, despite a two-goal effort by Filip Chlapik. Daniel Ciampini also had a goal and two assists for the Sens. Hammond and Marcus Hogberg split the goaltending duties.

Comic legend MacDonald coming to Belleville for CMHA tonight Belleville – They say laughter is the best medicine. So, the Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings and Prince Edward Branch is bringing one of Canada’s favourite comedians to Belleville for what’s sure to be one funny fundraiser. Stand-up legend Mike MacDonald will perform tonight, Thursday, Oct. 5 at the Greek Hall at 70 Harder Dr. Tickets for the 19+ event are $20. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. “Day to day, it’s healthy to laugh,” said Sheila Quinn, a CMHA staffer behind the event. “We’re trying to put on a fun event.” The event will also have a cash bar and silent auction. Funds raised will help the CMHA cover a range of services it provides, from helping with the region’s homelessness crunch through operation of its transitional housing units, to providing support to those battling addictions. And MacDonald is a great person for the CMHA to bring in to help with the cause. MacDonald, at age 63, has a had a lengthy career in comedy, highlighted by his CBC prime-time specials from the 1990s, Mike MacDonald on Target and My House My Rules. He’s also gone public with his own struggles with mental health and has spoken about his fight with depression and bipolar disorder. The Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Branch, is a non-profit agency that strives to enhance the mental wellness and quality of life of people in the diverse community. Through direct services, education, advocacy and consumer involvement the organization works together to create an environment that supports mental well-being.

Police raid Moira apartment, Theatre guild season to start seize shotgun Belleville police raided an apartment on Moira Street and arrested a man for possessing a shotgun while under a court-ordered firearms prohibition. Police said in a statement John Collingridge Jr. was arrested after the Belleville police intelligence and street crime unit – with backup from the force’s tactical team – raided an apartment on Moira Street Wednesday, Sept. 27. They seized a loaded .12 gauge shotgun, police said in a
statement. During the course of the raid, police encountered a pitbull type dog that was acting aggressively toward officers. A police official said the animal was “controlled through the use of a nonlethal use of force. Additionally, the dog was alive and well when the officers left the residence.” Collingridge, meanwhile, was held for a show cause hearing Thursday Sept. 28.

As one of Belleville’s oldest and most significant cultural organizations, the Belleville Theatre Guild was front and centre last Friday with its annual Open House as part of Ontario’s Cultural Days. The Pinnacle Playhouse drew an enthusiastic crowd to witness snippets from upcoming shows of the season, membership renewals, volunteer opportunities, information and meet and greet. Then it was up to the stage area where actors from the Thornton Wilder classic, “Our Town” performed a sketch. The show opens Thursday, Oct. 12 and runs through Oct. 28. Next up was a description of “Noises Off,” a classic British sex farce about conflicts within a theatre cast both on and off stage. “Marion Bridge” is named after the real community in Cape Breton where three sisters of various
ages are thrown together and must learn all about each other all over again, followed by “ The Curious Savage” about a wealthy new resident of a nursing home and her family, the other residents and nursing home staff. Moira Nikander-Forrester, director of the guild’s annual musical, practically recruited half or more of her cast by inviting the audience to join her on stage to sing Irving Berlin’s hit song from that show, also an “anthem” of the theatre – “There’s No Business Like Show Business.” Participants from children to seniors were quick to take advantage of the opportunity to join her. Auditions are in late January. The audience was told volunteer opportunities in many aspects of the guild and theatre are always available. Comments from those attending indicated they are looking forward to a fun and exciting season.

Plaque commemorates contributions of British Home Children Canadians and making a solid contribution to their new country.” James Gilchrist, the author of the book Marchmont Distributing Home, explained the home took in “children who were deprived, one way or another.” But, despite the sad nature of the story, the home was a “Godsend,” he said. It was run by religious people who truly believed they were providing the kids “a better home.” The plaque will eventually be installed at the intersection of Yeomans and Moira. It was the sixth and final plaque the historical society unveiled over the summer to celebrate Belleville’s 200th and Canada’s 150th year.
BY STEPHEN PETRICK
Belleville – The British Home Children who came to Belleville will never be forgotten. A plaque commemorating the city’s famous Marchmont Distribution Home was unveiled Thursday, Sept. 28 by the Hastings County Historical Society during a touching ceremony at the Belleville Club. The home existed at what is now the area of Yeomans Street and Moira Street West from 1870 to 1925 and took in about 10,000 orphaned, abandoned and impoverished British children.
They were taken from workhouses, industrial schools and the streets and brought across the ocean to be placed as indentured farm workers and domestics. Their stories walk a fine line between tragedy and triumph.

A 26-year-old Quinte West man is facing three child-pornography related charges, following a Belleville Police criminal investigation. Tanner Neron has been charged with possession of child pornography, making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16 years of age and luring a person under the age of 16 by means of telecommunications. In September, 2017, members of the Belleville Police Service Criminal Investigations Division began an investigation into the luring of a boy, under age 16. As a result of this members of the criminal investigations and the tech crimes unit executed a search warrant at a residence in the east end of Quinte West. Neron was released with several conditions. He must not be alone with any person under the age of 18 years, not possess or access a device which can access the internet
and not to be in a park, a school, daycare, ice-rink, pool, or any other public recreation area or facility. He’s scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 26. Anyone with information which would assist in this investigation can contact Det. Sgt. Ian Jarvis of the Criminal Investigations Branch at 613-966-0882 ext. 2312 or Quinte Crime Stoppers.

Budapest’s stunning, mesmerizing ‘Illumination Tour’ BY JOHN M. SMITH
I’ve had the good fortune to enjoy Budapest’s “Illumination Tour” by boat on two separate occasions now, years apart, and if you ever find yourself in this beautiful city, then it’s a not-to-be-missed spectacle. Cruising along the Danube at night is the perfect way to view this magnificent light show, for the river bisects the two parts of the city, Buda and Pest. You’ll then be able to enjoy the eye-popping scenery while taking photos of both well-lit sections of the city from your vantage point – without doing a lot of walking or driving. The first time that I did this illumination tour was several years ago, on my first visit to the capital city of Hungary, and it was part of a package that included a Folklore Concert and a dinner cruise. The concert proved to be a great way for me to get an overview of the music, costumes and traditional dances of Hungary, and then this performance was accompanied by a romantic, panoramic view of the brightly lit city at night via a late-night dinner cruise. However, I still remember that it seemed a bit unusual for me to be dining at such a late hour, for the buffet was at 10:30 pm, which is long past my normal dining time. I recall that I also had some difficulty eating because I kept wanting to grab my camera to get another photo. There were simply so many spectacular sights to see! Well, I found myself back in Budapest this past summer, taking the “Gems of Southeast Europe” AmaWaterways River Cruise, which would take me on the Danube from Budapest to Bucharest. The very first night of the trip included an “Illumination Tour” of this fabulous city. Just like that first time several years ago, I found myself in awe of the beauty that surrounded me on both sides of the river, and I again spent much of the tour capturing the spectacle in photos. One of the most breathtaking views of the cruise has to be the Buda Castle District, for here I saw the white-stoned, castle-like Fisherman’s Bastion (with its seven towers), the Royal Palace, and the graceful tower of the Matthias Church all lit up high above me in the distance. Beneath Budapest’s Castle Hill is a labyrinth of caves, tunnels, and cellars, and night tours of a section of these are open to the public. If you’re spending some time in Budapest, all of these structures would be worthy of individual visits. In particular, I’d check out the Royal Palace, for it houses the Budapest History Museum, the Hungarian National Gallery, and the National Szechynyi Library.
The illuminated Hungarian Parliament Building. John M. Smith/Metroland
The best way to reach the Buda Castle District would be via the funicular, and you’ll be provided, from atop, with a spectacular hillside view of the other side of the city, Pest, which is dominated by its enormous Parliament Building. The Hungarian Parliament is also worth touring, for it houses one of the country’s greatest treasures: the Holy Crown of St. Stephen (Hungary’s first king). Its main cupola is decorated with statues of Hungary’s kings, and there’s a very impressive Grand Staircase, too. One of the more interesting features is the numbered cigar-holders that line the window sills that are just outside the debate chambers. Apparently the smoking politicians could leave their cigars in these holders while they went into the chamber to vote and then could easily find them again, if they remembered the number of their holder. Other eye-popping encounters along the watery route included the spectacularly lit Gellert Hill, Chain Bridge (the oldest bridge linking the two sides), Gresham Place (now a luxury hotel), St. Stephen’s Basilica (the city’s largest church), and the National Theatre. These, of course, are also worth individual visits, if time permits, but I’d particularly recommend check-
ing out Gellert Hill, for here you’ll find the St. Gellert Monument (commemorating the bishop that the hill was named after) and the Citadel (a 19th century fortress that has been used, in the past, as both a prison and an anti-aircraft missile launch pad). It’s also home to Cave Church (which served as both a chapel and a field hospital during WWII) and to the city’s Statue of Liberty. This towering statue, a city symbol, is a very prominent part of Budapest’s cityscape, and it looks particularly impressive when lit up at night. It’s certainly very visible from the deck of a boat. Budapest’s stunning, mesmerizing “Illumination Tour” was the perfect way to begin our latest river 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.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Extraordinary talentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in medical ranks at QHC BY JACK EVANS
Trenton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A staff full of surprises was what chief of medical staff Dr. Dick Zoutman discovered in his search for 15 new leaders following a massive reorganization of medical leadership. During the meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 26, Dr.Zoutmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report was one of several major reports before the board, catching up after a two-month summer hiatus. His report dealt with a thrust to combine 26 divisions plus 10 departments into 11 departments, a project which has been in the making for almost a year. One of the new departments is Primary Care, specifically designed to assist the three primary care hospitals at Bancroft, Trenton and Picton. In digging through staff resources throughout the fourhospital complex during interviews for the new department heads, Dr. Zoutman said â&#x20AC;&#x153;we
learned that we have extraordinary talent in our medical ranks at Quinte Health Care, with diverse backgrounds including business, entrepreneurs, computer science, engineering, remote health care administration, Olympians, and a candidate astronautâ&#x20AC;? with the Space Administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of the new departmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chief positions were made medical directors of their respective programs. We have established a community of leadership at QHC where our new exceptional leaders can meet, learn together and support one another,â&#x20AC;? said Zoutman. He also reported in a streamed diagnostic workshop event for three days, Sept. 1820 on hospital physicians work flow. Part of that was an update on â&#x20AC;&#x153;patient rounding,â&#x20AC;? a concept that goes back to the ancient Greek Hippocrates, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been updated much
Quinte Health Care vice-chairman Stuart Wright and Mary Clare Egberts, president and CAO. Jack Evans/Metroland
sinceâ&#x20AC;? he noted. Rounding, he defined, as simply making regular rounds of patients to see how they are doing, whether there is any
change in their condition and whether treatments are working or not. The streaming involved a large, inter-professional team from both internal and family
medicine. Voted approved in a report from Lynda Mungall, chair of Quality of Patient Care, were the appointments of physician leaders Dr. Rans Perara as medical director, emergency medicine, Dr. Perambir Keila as North Hastings Hospital medical lead and Dr.Norma Charriere as Picton Hospital medical lead. The much-discussed new hospital at Picton took another step forward with adoption of a report from the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Audit and Resources Committee to approve the Stage 1 proposal for Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital redevelopment. The 500-page report now goes to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care for approval, with cost estimates now placed at $65 million plus an $11,134,000 contingency fund. The report also recommends a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrap aroundâ&#x20AC;? design and
staffing and operations costs estimates for years into the future, plus a requirement for the local community to raise $12.7 million, which has been agreed to. Mary Clare Egberts report traced some shortfalls in meeting some goals, such as wait times for cancer surgery, due mostly to upgrading the MRI machine and uncovered shifts while waiting for new qualified RNs to be recruited. Meanwhile, much progress has been made, she assured. She also praised a warm relationship with the Quinte regional Emergency Medical Services following a meeting with its chief, Doug Socha. Introduced at the meeting were four new directors, each one with numerous qualifications in the fields of education, health, sciences and more: Jessica Anderson, Bancroft; Peggy Payne, Picton; Peter Dudding, Picton and Kimberly Woodhouse, Trenton.

Tyendinaga growth key topic for special planning meeting BY JACK EVANS
A special public meeting of Hastings County Council last week heard strong input from residents of Tyendinaga Twonship, outlining their concerns about growth in that southeastern township of the county. One key concern for some was the fact that a motion was passed at one point to remove the hamlet of Blessington off the map. Blessington residents countered that even though the motion was rescinded, it got many of them stirred up. They noted that between the last two census report, the tiny community almost doubled in size and continues to grow, surpassing area cities in growth percentage and even rivalling the Golden Horseshoe. They argued, in a signed petition, there remains abundant, suitable housing land in the area and want the boundaries extended by one kilometre in each direction. Justin Harrow, county director of planning, outlined the procedure which has been under way for some years and the timeline for the county
to complete its draft and send to the province. One speaker, Grant Emon, displayed an in-depth study both of the proposed plan and the Provincial guidelines, suggesting the county’s bias against rural growth goes beyond the provincial policies. Council members countered that they are told face to face at various conferences that the province does not want growth in rural areas nor does it want to spend money in the country. But they asked him to provide some specific situations they could argue for at meetings with provincial leaders. Another speaker was Sue Munro, chair of a citizens group against a proposed Melrose quarry operation, also in Tyendinaga, arguing that limited water resources should preclude such developments in favour of rural residential. Their arguments seemed to draw support from council members, who seemed to blamed provincial policies for their quandary but pledged to do their best in future negotiations

LTC student contest open BY SUE DICKENS
Northumberland County — Lower Trent Conservation is looking for creative and innovative students to enter the annual “Caring for our Watersheds” competition. The contest is open to students who have an idea of how to improve their local environment. The program rewards students and their schools who submit the most creative, thought-provoking and innovative ideas. Implementation funding and community mentorship is available to turn the student’s ideas into realistic solutions. Lower Trent is asking for a 1,000 word proposal and their deadline is Jan. 26, 2018. The program is geared to students in grades 7, 8 and 9. Students research their local watershed, identify an environmental concern and come up with a solution. The “Caring for Our Watersheds” contest is a collaborative effort between Lower Trent and Agrium Inc., a worldwide producer and distributor of fertilizers and agricultural products and service.
Its initial commitment of funding has ended so Lower Trent started a fundraising program to continue holding the competition as well as offer other youth environmental programs. The 2017 top prize of $1,000 went to Radana Biaroza, a home-schooled student in Warkworth, for her proposal to develop a survey assessing people’s awareness of environmental issues within the Lower Trent Conservation watershed. Kendrick Webster of Murray Centennial Public School placed second for her rethinking the “Scoop it, Bag it, Trash it” approach to making dog waste disposal more eco-friendly. As well Paige Palmer enlisted the help of her fellow students at Hillcrest Public School to build a rain garden at Campbellford Lions Community Park. The project placed third in the Caring for Our Watersheds contest. For more information ago to www.ltc.on.ca/events/ education/cfow/

A Forest Field Day is open to the public on Saturday, Oct. 14, on a family woodlot just north of Castleton. The Quinte Chapter, Ontario Woodlot Association (OWA) will host a walk and talk, full to the brim with forestry activities, advice and aid. The local chapter of OWA is promoting the walk as “a great opportunity for woodlot owners and nature-lovers to enjoy an all-purpose day in the forest and see the bountiful results of local stewardship labour in a woodlot.” The family woodlot site belongs to George Ryken and includes a trout pond, conifer plantations, and natural upland mixed forests. Ryken will provide a history of his farm and woodlot including his involvement in the American Chestnut Recovery Program. During a walk through the woods, George will provide information on past forest management activities. Professional Forester, David Smallwood, will make suggestions on potential future activities in the natural stands. On the property, there is a commercial thinning planned in the plantations and David will discuss the processes involved in this operation. Woodlot owners will have plenty of time to seek advice on woodlot questions. There will also be opportunities to see invasive species (such as Dog-strangling Vine and Buckthorn) and discuss the best control methods. Members of the Upper Trent Valley, Limestone and Quinte OWA chapters will be there to expand the discussion and add their experience. The event is at 217 Morganston Rd, Castleton, starting at 10 a.m. and finishing about 2 p.m. Lunch will not be provided – however, coffee, tea, cider and snacks will be served. Admission is free for OWA members, and a donation from non-members is welcome. The Quinte Woodlot Association supports area woodlot owners in the south half of Hastings and Northumberland Counties, and in

Young composer’s first symphony a hit in Belleville BY JACK EVANS
For its first public performance, youthful Montreal composer Brett Vachon’s Symphony in C minor was a real family affair. Besides his own presence and remarks at the dress rehearsal and the concert Sunday afternoon at Bridge Street Church, Vachon’s parents, both concert musicians in Montreal, joined the ranks of the Quinte Symphony as proud parents for the world premiere of this work. Vachon commented before the start that he was inspired by 19th century “romantic era” musicians like Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner and even Mendelsohn. Conductor Dan Tremblay and his musical forces played it that way, much to the audience’s delight, which gave the symphony and Vachon a standing ovation. Following a Brahms-like attention getter from percussion and brass the first movement moved into lilting melodies, almost like sea shanties, closing with a thundering “tutti” orchestral finish. More singable, melodic themes arose in the second adagio movement, interspersed with brass fanfares and generous use of percussion and timpani.
Descending scales at times marked the “scherzo” third movement plus dance-like themes, with solos and themes sprinkled cleverly and generously around all parts and players of the orchestra. More melodic themes and solos marked the closing largo movement, often stately, delivering, as the composer promised, something like a symphony from the romantic era that had suddenly been discovered. It was Vachon’s first full length symphony, and in an interview, he made it clear that it was a labour of love, but very difficult and he’s not anxious to write another soon. In a program called “Orchestral Favourites, the second half focussed on French composer Bizet with his “L’Arlesianne Suites” and selections from “Carmen Suite No. 1,” all warmly enjoyed with enough applause to generate a stirring encore of the “Les Torreadors” march from the Left to right, Helene Vachon and Richard Tweney, parents “Carmen Suite,” a rare occurrence at a Quinte Symphony concert. of composer Brett Vachon, enjoy a joint salute with Dan The audience was reminded that at least until the next concert, pa- Tremblay, conductor of the Quinte Symphony. trons can still trade their single seats in on a season’s ticket at 20 per cent Jack Evans/Metroland off, on line or at the Quinte Arts Council office.

Dogs, cats, rabbit and chicken blessed at annual St. Thomas Church event BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - The focus was on animals and pets at St. Thomas Anglican Church Sunday with dozens of dogs and a sprinkling of cats, a rabbit and a chicken that made their way up to the altar for an official blessing. The service has become an annual tradition and the spirit can best be summed up in the closing prayer: “Let us not forget the pet without a home; let us not forget the endangered species; as we ask divine assistance for those affected by fire, flood, earthquake, storm or drought, let us remember that this includes every living thing; in seeking cures for human disease, may be also speak for the well-being of the planet itself.” There were also words of comfort for pets who have now gone and of gratitude for pets in individual lives. Rev. Brad Beale used the example of St. Francis of Assisi as human compassion and humility. The service marked the start of a busy month for the parish, with the annual Harvest Festival set for next Sunday, a special choral evensong with traditional cathedral music at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 15 and Later Life Learning lectures on Wednesday mornings on the theme of Canada at 150. The church is also seeking a cast to perform the classic play: “Murder in the Cathedral” by T.S. Elliot on Dec. 28 and 29. Those interested may contact the director, Darren Cole at (613) 920-0711, or David Smith of the Bicentennial Committee at (613) 967-4814. The play is intended as a prelude to the church’s 200th anniversary in 2018.
Pets had a chance to meet and greet in the parish hall of St. Thomas Anglican Church before the blessings of the animals service Sunday. Left to right are Rachel Gelinas with Hudson, George Calderone with Molly, and Sheila Noise, with Theo. Except for a few yelps and whines, the dozens of dogs were well –behaved throughout the service. Jack Evans/Metroland
The Rev. Brad Beale, right, greeted and blessed each pet brought to the altar individually at the close of the service. Jack Evans/Metroland
SMALL MACHINE. BIG PRODUCTIVITY. Introducing the all-new 317G CTL and 312GR, 314G, 316GR, and 318G Skid Steers.
It’s not the size of the machine in the work. It’s the size of the work in the machine. Which, by that measure, makes the G-Series as big as they come. And that’s by design. More specifically, your design. Skid steer owners and operators like you spent years, side by side with John Deere engineers, to generate bigger fuel capacities, bigger boom breakouts, bigger serviceability, bigger durability — even radial models for working in low buildings and doorways. With all that input, no wonder these small machines provide maximum output. Learn more — stop in or call today.

Hastings County to get “plaqued” BY JACK EVANS

The placement of five plaques throughout Belleville in recent months, marking historically significant events, places or people doesn’t mean the rest of Hastings County is being left out. Hastings County Historical Society President Richard Hughes, in delegation to county council last week reminded that the project also involves five plaques, yet to be decided, to be scattered throughout the county. Hughes said research is now under way and he invited suggestions from each municipality for at least one or more ideas which the society will then research and decided which to use for placings and ceremonies next summer. “We are the county historical society and we want the entire county to be involved in this,” he stressed. The Village of Tweed has one suggestion ready, said Mayor Jo-Anne Albert. She referred to the all-women council which was elected in 1967 and served a full term. The story at the close of the election that year, swept across news coverage in the Quinte area and Ontario as a female reeve and all members of council made a first for the province. Also making a delegation to council were representatives of the regional Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society, promoting the colour purple during October as child protection month and
other child welfare promotions. Council promptly passed proclamations for Child Abuse Prevention Month, National Foster Family Week, Oct. 15-21 and November as Adoption Awareness Month. Several councillors also had questions about the society’s operations such as their territory (Hastings, Prince Edward and Northumberland counties) and their handling of files, in terms of what complaints are investigated and what files are closed. CAS speakers stressed that keeping families together is their prime concern and that is exactly what happens in 97 per cent of all cases. Also ratified was the detailed report from the Community and Human Services Committee outlining the county’s participation in the Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres. The network as adopted, will see such centres going into the Bancroft area, Centre Hastings, Quinte West and Belleville and southeast Hastings, starting some time next year at various locations. In another report, the regional Employment Connections department helped arrange jobs for 115 participants, reducing the caseload to just under 2,900 persons. One major bylaw passed was a detailed new Code of Conduct for all council members, staff and non-council participants in county programs and agencies.

EQAO report numbers encouraging, say school boards Belleville – The official line: both school boards in the region are “pleased” with their provincial competency testing scores. But, the devil’s always in the numbers when it comes to testing grade school students in English and math. Officials from two local school boards are looking at the positives, as they pore through data released from the Education Quality and Accountability Office. The results from standardized tests conducted by the office, known in education circles simply as EQAO, were released recently. Students in Grade 3, 6 take the tests every spring to assess their reading, writing and math skills. Grade 9 students also take a math test and Grade 10 students take a literacy test. The same tests allow schools boards to look at the achievements of their students and teachers, overall, and see where improvements are needed. The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board – which serves students from Trenton to Kingston – released a statement saying it’s pleased with its scores. “The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board is pleased to note that trends in reading and writing
have continued to increase over the past five years. In addition, mathematics results have increased when compared to the 2015-2016 data.” Within the Catholic board, 831 primary students and 744 junior students were eligible to participate in the assessment last May and June. The Catholic board said that Grade 3 students demonstrated a seven per cent increase in reading (73 per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4) and a two per cent increase in writing (74 per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4). In addition, primary students showed a 2 per cent increase in mathematics (59 per cent of students achieved a Level 3 or 4). Grade 6 students showed a 1 per cent increase in areas of reading (81 per cent of students achieved a Level 3 or 4), while writing remained unchanged (80 per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4). Junior students demonstrated a one per cent increase in mathematics (45 per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4). “The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board is pleased with our positive trends in reading and writing over the past five years as well as our improvements in numeracy over the past year,” said David Giroux, superintendent of school effectiveness. “We will continue
to focus on Year 2 of our Renewed Math Strategy, which includes working directly with school leaders and math learning partners in all of our elementary schools.” The Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board released a statement, saying that it’s pleased with its results in primary and junior reading and writing, when looking at a long-term trend.
“Looking at a 10-year continuum of results in the primary and junior assessments reinforces that gains are being made in primary and junior reading and writing,” the statement says. HASTINGS & PRINCE EDWARD DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD“This year, students experienced gains the area of primary reading with small declines in primary writing and junior reading and writing. “We believe in our students’ abilities and have confidence in our teachers who are striving to help all students achieve provincial standards in all grades and pathways,” said Cathy Portt, the
HPEDSB’s superintendent of education. “We are committed to preparing all students for graduation, for their chosen career pathway and for life-long learning. Primary and junior assessments were written by HPEDSB students in May. They measured student achievement in reading, writing and math in relation to a common provincial standard of Level 3 or 4. This year HPEDSB students made gains of 3 percentage points in primary reading, while continuing to show gains in reading and writing over a 10-year period. Here are the percentages of students who reached Level 3 or 4 in the following primary areas: Reading 61; writing 57; math 47. Here are the percentages of students who reached Level 3 or 4 in junior areas: reading 67, writing 62, math 32. On Grade 9 math scores, HPEDSB students are holding steady over the past 10 years, the board says. Last year, 76 per cent of students reached Level 3 or 4 in academic math. Forty-one per cent of students reached Level 3 or 4 in applied math. Most Grade 10 students in the HPEDSB also took the Grade 10 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test. The test is a graduation requirement, but a student
can defer taking it to a later time. Deferral rates decreased from 15 per cent in 2011 to 4 per cent in 2017. Ninety per cent of students achieved Level 3 or 4 in academic results. Forty-two per cent reached Level 3 or 4 in applied course results. Three per cent achieved Level 3 or 4 in locally developed course results. The HPEDSB also reminded that EQAO scores don’t represent the full picture of student success. “EQAO assessments are one type of assessment data used to inform planning at the school and board levels,” the statement read. “Ongoing classroom assessments and report card results in literacy and mathematics are also taken into consideration to present a more complete picture of student achievement.” Yet, the results will still be taken to heart, as educators strive for improvement. “A continued focus on literacy, building on the successes in elementary grades, is required to ensure that students meet literacy graduation requirements. This will help to ensure that students are well-prepared for today and their future careers. The continued focus required in mathematics to address achievement gaps is a priority locally and provincially.”

All about sharing ideas in first Youth-2-Youth summit BY TAYLOR BERTELINK
While many students relaxed at home during their PA day, more than 150 students instead took the opportunity to spend it at the first Youth-2-Youth summit on Friday (Sept. 30). “Youths often have great ideas, but they may not know how to be engaged. I know that they have diverse and different perspectives to offer and this is a way that youths can share their perspectives, concerns and can have a voice,” said 23-year-old Maddison Ellis, organizer of the Youth-2-Youth summit. Students from Bancroft, Madoc, Belleville, Napanee, Picton and Quinte West gathered at the Tyendinaga Township Recreation Hall to network with peers, professionals and community leaders regarding local issues and topics of interest. “We wanted to get youths from all different regions together in one room to connect
them,” explained Ellis. The free event invited youths ages 14 to 25 to take part in intelligent discussions lead by workshop leader Ryan Porter and had the opportunity to talk with local dignitaries over lunch. The event was inspired by a similar initiative that Ellis as well as other organizers participated in over the summer. Intrigued by the idea, she decided to bring the first Youth-2Youth summit to the local area. Eager to learn, youths engaged in topics of discussion such as mental health, the environment, poverty in youth, gender equality, entrepreneurship, filling community gaps, social media use and harm reduction. “We want them to brainstorm ideas and come up with innovative solutions to different problems — we can then share what they've come up with today with our mu-
1 in 8 women
nicipal, community and business leaders,” explained Ellis. “So many adults want to tap into the youth perspective but don't know how to get it and youths may not know where to give opinion,” she added. Seventeen-year-old Moira Secondary School student Jordan Cohen described the event as “an awesome opportunity.” After first hearing about it, Cohen knew he wanted to sign up as he is a true believer in promoting youth voices. “When parliament and community members give us the mic and the chance to express our opinions, we shouldn't squander the opportunity, instead we should take it and push it forward — our voice can invoke change, not just for youths in Belleville and surrounding areas, but for all of Canada and more importantly the world,” he said. At the end of the summit staff signed certificates so that youths can put the workshop on their resumes. High School students were also able to receive community volunteer hours for their participation. Ellis said that the day exceeded her expectations and hopes to make this a yearly event. “This is just chapter one. We hope to continue this event, but we also want to take what we learn today from the youths and to come up with an action plan. We don't want the ideas to die here, we want to carry it forward — this is just the first step in a long journey,” she said.
Ryan Porter, workshop leader at the Youth2-Youth summit speaks to youths about empowerment, engagement, and volunteerism. Porter has spoken to more than half a million students about his experiences in hopes of inspiring other youths. Taylor Bertelink/Metroland
will be diagnosed with breast cancer October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One in 8 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and thanks to life-saving research, about 87 per cent of women diagnosed with breast cancer will survive for at least five years. What is breast cancer? Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast, sometimes these cells change and no longer grow or behave normally. These changes could possibly lead to non-cancerous (benign) breast conditions as well as non-cancerous tumours. But sometimes these changes can lead to breast cancer. There are various types of breast cancer the main two are ductal carcinoma and lobular carcinoma. Screening: All provinces and some territories have organized breast cancer screening programs for women aged 50 to 69 years. If you are in this age group, your province will automatically invite you to take part in the breast screening program. Some
programs allow younger or older women to participate. The screening program will send a letter reminding you when to have your next screening mammogram. You can contact your provincial or local breast screening program to book an appointment. To find out more about mammography and to help you decide if screening is right for you visit www. mybreastsmytest.ca Some women are at higher than average risk for breast cancer. You may be at a higher risk of breast cancer if you have: • A strong family history of breast cancer • Certain gene mutations, such as the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation • A personal history of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive breast cancer or atypical hyperplasia • Dense breast tissue • Received radiation therapy to the breast or chest Talk to your doctor about your risk.
