Look for Proctor House Museum in episode of Murdoch Mysteries By John Campbell

Brighton – Local fans of CBC’s Murdoch Mysteries will have additional reason to watch an upcoming episode of the historical drama – some of the scenes were shot in and around Proctor House Museum. The filming took place Sept. 1316 inside the house as well as on the lawn at the rear and a path on property owned by Lower Trent Conservation. The museum was first contacted last November and photos were taken but the production company decided the site wasn’t what it was looking for at the time. Anna Rittwage, president of Save Our Heritage Organization, which leases Proctor House from the Lower Trent, was called again in the spring and that’s when negotiations began for use of the 19th century property by Shaftesbury Murdoch IX Incorporated. She wouldn’t reveal how much the not-for-profit charitable orgaAnna Rittwage said it was “like a city on wheels” when the production company nization was paid but said it was arrived at Proctor House Museum last month to film scenes for an upcoming epi- “a nice sum” that is being put into reserves, for the upkeep of the

museum and the Brighton Barn Theatre. She and incoming president Rick Daniels were at the museum by 7 a.m. each day of the shooting and remained until 10 p.m. more than once. “It was a learning experience,” Rittwage said. “It’s unbelievable what they do for five minutes’ worth of film.” She was told the episode will air in mid-February. Rittwage and her board were sworn to secrecy so no release was given out saying the popular series, now in its 10th season, was being shot locally, to avoid drawing crowds that could interfere with filming. Dozens of extras were bused in from Toronto for a tea party but most of the cast along with the crew stayed locally and in Trenton, some at bed-and-breakfasts. “I was really proud of the people of Brighton,” Rittwage said, because “they respected (their] privacy.” She didn’t get to speak to Yannick Bisson who plays Detective Murdoch -- “apparently he got

surrounded by autograph seekers” while filming in a park in Port Hope “so he was a little bit gun shy,” she said, “but the rest of them wandered around and we talked to them.” Rittwage did take photos of Bisson in shorts and T-shirt rehearsing but contractual obligations prevented her from posting them on social media. Helene Joy, who plays Murdoch’s wife, Dr. Julia Ogden, “is just the sweetest thing,” Rittwage said. “She was great.” The barn’s downstairs was used for hair, makeup and wardrobe. The fleet of vehicles carrying cameras, lighting and other equipment was “like a city on wheels,” Rittwage said. “A lot of money was spent in Brighton (by the production company).” She was impressed by how meticulous the film crew was ensuring no damage was done by what they doing. “You have to be so careful with a heritage property,” Rittwage said, but “there wasn’t anything here left out of place” after they were gone.

ENSS student gets taste of municipal politics By Sarah Hyatt

Brighton – Brighton council welcomed a new mayor at its meeting on Monday, Oct. 17. Well, temporarily at least. Grade 9 East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) student Aidan Hussey served as mayor for the day and helped kick off Local Government Week within the municipality Monday. He called the meeting to order and shared a few words about his experience. Before making his way to council, Aidan spent the day touring with Mayor Mark Walas and visiting the local fire departments and the water and wastewater treatment plants. He also visited the public works facility and municipal office. “All-in-all, Brighton is a great place, with great people – a little town, with big ideas,� said Aidan, as he reflected on his day of travel. Of course, he also learned why the hydro bill is so high at the water plant, with the plant running 24/7, he joked Monday evening. Aidan got up close with a lot of equipment during the day – saw how the water is filtered in town and data and statistics are obtained. The ENSS student got to meet with and talk to staff about their various roles too.

The man who handles the building permits – he certainly does a lot of paperwork, Aidan said. After his tour and time as mayor, Aidan believes the “future is brightâ€? for Brighton. Local Government Week, which runs from Oct. 16-22, aims to increase youth and public awareness about the important role local governments play in communities. Aidan didn’t understand exactly what the mayor and councillors do or what it takes to run a municipality. “But after today, the many questions I had were answered and many memories were made,â€? he said. “Brighton is a great place, run by a great man‌good groups of people are in charge here, keeping this place strong. As much as many of you may get frustrated with paying taxes and such – they do go to better and improve our community‌â€? After sharing his experience and asking council for its support to recognize Local Government Week, Walas and council presented the young man with a Hussey Blvd. street sign to commemorate Aidan’s time as “Mayor for the Day.â€? Aidan wasn’t the only one taking something away from the initiative either. Walas had a “great dayâ€? with Aidan and enjoyed hearing his recap of

their tour, he said. Further, the mayor noted, there could come a point in time where there will be more people retiring in municipal roles, than there are people who can fill those positions. So it’s important for youth to get a look at and some exposure to the various roles one may pursue within municipal government, said Walas. Walas added he appreciated the opportunity to showcase the municipality and to help engage a youth more in the community. In other council news: Council has appointed Cheryl Thrasher as the municipal prosecutor for Brighton – essentially, a bylaw enforcement officer. The decision, however, was not unanimous. Councillors John Martinello and Roger McMurray did not vote in favour for the appointment Monday. Martinello didn’t understand the need for the appointment, he said. McMurray said he couldn’t remember the municipality ever using a prosecutor. “Brighton isn’t a hotbed of crime,� added McMurray. CAO Bill Watson reports a prosecutor is needed in the event of more serious cases where action may be required. While in the past, municipalities

used provincial prosecutors – that duty was downloaded some years ago and since, Brighton hasn’t had an official prosecutor, said Watson. The CAO estimates Brighton has been without a prosecutor in place for at least four-to-five years. “In order to fully perform the functions of our bylaws, the municipality

Hospice welcomes new director of clinical services and operations

By Sarah Hyatt

Northumberland – The Bridge Hospice is expanding and welcoming a director of clinical services and operations. Though for Kerri-Anne Wilson, who will be serving as director and filling the new position for the hospice, it’s more of a homecoming, she said. Wilson was among the first resident care volunteers when the hospice opened in June 2013. When the posting for the director’s position popped up, Wilson said she knew it was time to return. “I’m excited to be back and to be part of an amazing organization,” she said. Wilson assumed her duties in September. As director, Wilson will oversee clinical care and delivery by Saint Elizabeth staff and hospice volunteers, managing operations. In her leadership role, she will additionally co-ordinate admissions, working closely with families and residents during the settling-in process. Her duties also include community outreach and education. The Bridge Hospice, which serves all of Northumberland County and the region, was created to ensure people are able to live every moment until the end of one’s life. Wilson is a registered nurse, who’s

passionate about providing quality palliative care and has provided leadership in a variety of health care positions. Most recently, she was director of primary health care, at the Gateway Community Health Centre in Tweed. She’s also been involved with the palliative care/end-of-life working group for the Rural Hastings Health Link, focused on techniques to enhance the provision

of quality palliative and end-of-life care, within that region. In a press release, where chairwoman of the hospice board Jill Hutcheon announced Wilson as the new director, she said, “we look forward to her leadership and expertise, which will build on the ex-

isting excellence in care and compassion that The Bridge Hospice provides.” Wilson also previously worked with the South East Local Health Integration Network, on advanced care planning. “Not everyone always understands what hospice services are about,” said Wilson. “It’s about actually living at endof-life, with the same advantages as being at home…” Wilson is eager to help share this message and how the hospice can help husbands and wives, for examples, to be just that during a loved one’s final chapter, rather than also serving in the caregiver role. Care is provided 24/7 at the hospice. “It’s also important people understand, we don’t charge for our services,” said Wilson. The hospice doesn’t receive government funding and is heavily reliant mostly on volunteer efforts, donations and fundraisers like the upcoming W8 running events, to fulfill its mandate and sustain operations. The new director extends an invitation to anyone who may be interested in participating in this year’s W8 event, which is taking place Saturday, Oct. 22. The W8 running events include a onekilometre kids run, five-kilometre run and the 8-miler (a 13-kilometre trek). For pledge forms or more information, people can visit www.w8runningevents. ca or call the hospice at 1-705-924-9222.

OPINION

Yemen: The Stupidest War

“They hit everything, hospitals, orphanages, schools,” Hisham al-Omeisy told The Guardian newspaper six months ago. “You live in constant fear that your kids’ school could be the Gwynne Dyer next target.” No, he’s not talking about the wicked Russians bombing the eastern side of Aleppo in Syria, which is stirring up so much synthetic indignation in Washington and London these days. He was talking about the air force of Saudi Arabia, that great friend of the West, bombing his friends and neighbours in Sana’a, the capital of Yemen. The Saudi Arabian bombing campaign in Yemen is now eighteen months old, and is responsible for the great majority of the estimated 5,000 civilian fatal casualties in that time. The Saudi authorities swear that it wasn’t them every time there is an especially high death toll – “(our) forces have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians” is the familiar refrain – but they are the only side in the conflict that has aircraft. A case in point is last Sunday’s strike on the Great Hall in Sana’a, a very large and distinctive building of no military importance whatever. Last Sunday it was crowded with hundred of people attending the funeral of Ali al-Rawishan, the father of the current interior minister, Galal al-Rawishan. The younger al-Rawishan is the interior minister in the government that sits in the capital, which is supported by “rebel” Houthi tribesmen from the north of Yemen and by the part of the army that still backs the former president, Ali Abdullah Saleh. His father’s funeral was therefore attended by many senior Houthi officials and supporters of the former president, as well as large numbers of other people. By the sheerest coincidence, we are asked to believe, an air-strike accidentally hit the Great Hall at just the right time on just the right day to kill 150 people and wound 525, among whom there would probably have been a dozen or so “rebel” government officials. This war is really about Saudi Arabia’s ability to control Yemen’s government. The two neighbours have about the same population but Saudi Arabia is thirty times richer, so that should be easy. Yemen’s long-ruling dictator, Ali Abdul-

lah Saleh, was hostile to Saudi Arabia, so the latter took advantage of popular protests against him in 2011-12 to engineer his replacement by a Saudi puppet, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi. Saleh then made an alliance with his former enemies, the Houthi tribes of northern Yemen, and struck back. When the rebel forces seized Sana’a in late 2014 and eventually drove Hadi out of the country, Saudi Arabia put together a “coalition” of conservative Arab states and launched the current military intervention to put Hadi back in power. However, none of the “coalition” members wants to risk the casualties and the consequent unpopularity at home that would come from fighting a major ground war in Yemen. The intervention therefore consists mostly of air strikes, which produce lots of civilian casualties – some deliberate, some not. The other motive behind this foolish war is the Saudi belief (or at least claim) that Iran, its great rival in the Gulf, is the secret power behind the rebel forces in Yemen. No doubt Iran does sympathise with the Yemeni rebels, since they are mostly fellow Shias, but for all the talk of “Iran-allied Houthis”, faithfully repeated in Western media, there is no evidence that Iran has given them either military or financial aid. So, then, three conclusions. First, the Saudi-led coalition will not get its way in Yemen if it remains unwilling to put large numbers of troops on the ground – and it might not win even if it did. Second, the relentless bombing of civilians is largely due to the coalition’s frustration at the failure of its political strategy (although the sheer lack of useful military targets also plays a part). And third, this is the stupidest of all the wars now being fought across the Middle East. Who runs Yemen is not a matter of vital strategic importance to Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi obsession with the Iranian “threat” is absurd. Yemen is of no imaginable strategic value to Iran, nor could the Iranians help the rebel government there in any concrete way even if they wanted to. And while Iranian influence has undoubtedly grown in the Gulf region in the past decade, that is entirely a result of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, not of some nefarious Iranian plot. Does the Washington foreign policy establishment finally understand all this? Only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Old habits die hard, and it’s all too easy to condemn Russian air strikes in Syria while condoning similar Saudi air strikes in Yemen.

Mental health funding left off agenda for too long Editorial by Chris Malette As of this writing, Canada’s Minister of Health Jane Philpott will have convened a meeting with her counterparts at the provincial level. No doubt she’ll address such issues as wait times, costs of therapies and the like but will she address the elephant in the room? That is, properly funding and directing resources to mental health care in Canada? Last month, the health minister told an audience at Queen’s University the answer to overall health care funding is to “not just throw money” at the problem. Philpott said the facts do not support the idea that what the health system needs most is more cash. “I’m convinced that we have an obligation as a government of Canada, for example, to do more than simply open up the federal wallet.” But, while a warning that the purse strings may tighten was viewed with some trepidation by those in the mental health care field, she did give a nod to a need to change the direction of mental health care funding in Canada. “Patients with severe mental illness often face long waits to get access to specialists. Others who require counselling or therapy may have private insurance coverage, but most have to pay out-ofpocket, or more often, try to manage without,” Philpott said. Dr. Catherine Zahn, president and CEO of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, wrote an opinion column in the Toronto Star this week that highlighted the needs facing mental health care in Canada. She stated, bluntly, that mental health care is under-resourced in Canada. Mental illness accounts for about 10 per cent of the burden of illness in Ontario but receives just 7 per cent of health care dollars. That translates into a $1.5-billion gap. “Bridging that gap is not just the right thing to do. It’s also smart economics in a country that loses $50 billion a year in lost productivity from mental illness,” said Zahn. “There is also a wide gap between the quality of care that Canadians receive for physical ailments compared to mental illnesses. “Take, for example, cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT, a widely used evidence-based therapeutic intervention. It is a key tool for treating illnesses like anxiety and depression. Such therapy as CBT and other structured psychotherapies are not publicly insured except in narrow circumstances, noted Zahn. It is covered through third-party insurance providers, but even then, most third-party insurance policies cover the equivalent of one and a half treatment sessions per year.

“Can you imagine if that was our approach to palliative care or chemotherapy?” asked an incredulous Zahn. “We’d consider that unthinkable and completely unacceptable. Yet thousands of Canadians suffering from depression do not have access to a valuable intervention.” As she concluded, such lack of attention and funding is outrageous – and deeply unjust. Full disclosure, the author of this editorial serves on the board for the Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings & Prince Edward Branch. As such, I have first-hand knowledge of the crying need for more direct intervention by all levels of government in funding and addressing mental health needs in the community. But, few have the insight of the association’s director, Sandie Sidsworth. Asked what she would see as what is needed “in a perfect world where proper funding is made available,” Sidsworth didn’t hesitate to say community buy-in is most important of all in seeing the needs of those struggling with mental health issues. “To bring community to the table,” she said, “we focus (royal we) on the acute part of the illness without realizing how supportive and meaningful community supports can be – not just models that flow from medical models, but strength-based solutions utilizing focused counselling through agencies like Three Oaks foundation, Sexual Assault Centre and of course CMHA–HPE and that support be respected for what it can do and what it can’t do. “Community support,” stressed Sidsworth, “brings a level of choice to the client – engages them in what they want for their continued wellness. Sometimes this is missing from that picture of a fulsome care continuum – it’s not only getting well, but also finding support to maintain that wellness beyond a hospital or clinical setting.” What it means, for those of us not inside the bubble, is there needs to be funding made available for those community supports to thrive. Those with mental health illnesses – from anxiety to depression to more serious personality disorders that require intense intervention, require supports that will keep them out of jails, out of hospitals and out of funeral homes. If this were SARS, we’d be screaming for resources to address the problem. Ask a cop, emergency room nurse or court worker whether they believe there are adequate funding and resources available to properly address mental health in our communities. You don’t have to be a health minister to know the answer.

Low interest at pre-budget meeting, but some talk is on infrastructure interest. Only three people showed up at the King Edward Community Centre Oct. 13 to offer their views on what the next federal budget should contain – and two of them were

By John Campbell

council members – Roger McMurray (Brighton) and Don Clark (Cramahe Township). Brighton – Northumberland-South Both men raised the issue of Peterborough MP Kim Rudd’s prefunding for infrastructure capital budget meeting and Canada’s econprojects. omy had one thing in common – low McMurray said Brighton sewage treatment plant “is not working properly, it won’t process ammonia [and] what’s left over goes into Lake Ontario.” “We just don’t have the money and we need access to funds long term [with] low interest rates,” he said. “Wastewater plants are horrendously expensive.” Rudd said the federal government recently announced a program to fund capital wastewater and water improvement projects. Traditionally, the three levels of government have shared equally in footing the bill of major infrastructure projects but it’s now recognized that municipal governments “often can’t come up with the third that they need,” because their tax base is small, Northumberland-South Peterborough MP Kim Rudd held a pre-bud- Rudd said. “We have said we will be get meeting for constituents last week but only three people showed flexible on that. It could be no contribution from municipalities, it could up, two of them council members. John Campbell/Metroland be a 60-40 federal-provincial.”

The government is looking at setting up an infrastructure bank so municipalities would “be able to fund something long term at our rates ... if you needed a top-up for some project,” Rudd said. Clark said his municipality is “trying to catch up” to what needs to be done after 30 years of not spending money to maintain infrastructure. “It’s unfortunate we haven’t done it in the past, we need to do that in the future,” he said. But a major upgrade to a street could cost as much as $2 million and “for us that’s like 10 years of budgets allocated to one project,” Clark said. “What irks me, we are wasting water when a water main breaks. It wrecks the road but it also wastes water that people would die for” in areas where there has been a drought. Rudd said she had held a roundtable with more than 40 municipal leaders a few weeks earlier and had advised them to let her know what their priorities are and to send their applications for funding to her to review so she “can advocate for those.” There are “lots of dire straits out

there” and applications need to be properly prepared or risk getting set aside if “the wrong box is checked,” she said. Upgrading infrastructure “isn’t just about the jobs” and maintaining services, Rudd said. It’s also “about what economic advantage” it will give Canada in the medium and long term as it competes on the global stage. Statistics Rudd provided showed household indebtedness has steadily climbed and remains elevated, while the pace of job creation has slowed. Canada’s challenge is to boost economic growth at a time when productivity is declining and the workforce is shrinking and aging. The federal government is tackling the problem in a way that is inclusive, innovative and fiscally sustainable, she said. “It is one of the things that we recognize is going to be probably the toughest thing for us to manage while we’re in the transition period.” Canada is in better shape than other developed countries because “we have room to manage debt,” Rudd added.

Joe Roberts pays it forward By Sarah Hyatt

Colborne – In 1989, Joe Roberts was living under a bridge “homeless on skid row,” in Vancouver, B.C. On Thursday, Oct. 13, Roberts was in Colborne, sharing his story and making his way through Northumberland County – all with the hopes of helping end youth homelessness. His “Push for Change” and nationwide trek began in May, in Newfoundland. Roberts will end his journey in Vancouver, on Sept. 30, 2017. Roberts is walking, pushing a shopping cart and participating in more than 400 community and school-oriented events along the way – sharing both his struggles and hopes for the future. The cart is supposed to be symbolic of Roberts’ transformation from youth homelessness. “It represents the very outcome we are trying to avoid for future generations,” the Push for Change team reports. Before his journey is complete, he’ll have travelled more than 9,000 kilometres. Roberts began training in 2012. Last Thursday, Roberts received a warm welcome in Colborne, despite a frosty start for the day. Around 7 a.m., residents lined the streets, bundled up

and cheered Roberts on his way, as he made the trek towards Cobourg. Roberts considers himself “one of the lucky ones.” He made it out – made it to school, graduated college, became a president and CEO of a multimedia company. He’s now an advocate, author and the executive director for the Push for Change. And it was the “help from many caring people” that drove Roberts. Online and through his journey, Roberts speaks about the “untimely death” of his father in 1975 and “a series of unfortunate events” which followed and ended with, Roberts living as a homeless young person in Vancouver. During his lowest point, he was living under a bridge and pushing a shopping cart on the streets. “It was an incredibly tough time in my life,” said Roberts. But it was also during this time Roberts made a promise to himself, “to pay any fortunes of fait forward.” It wasn’t until he was in crisis back home in Ontario that assistance came from an OPP officer who responded to the call that ultimately set Roberts on a path of change. To date, it’s estimated on any given night, there are more than 30,000 homeless people across Canada.

A Homeless Hub research paper indicates as many as 50,000 more Canadians may be “hidden homeless” on any given night. Roughly 65,000 young people are said to be homeless or living in homeless shelters throughout Canada at some point during the year, it was reported earlier in 2016 by an advocacy group known as Raising the Roof. According to the Push for Change team, annual costs to keep just one youth in the shelter system are estimated between $30-40,000. Through his 17-month journey, Roberts wants to help young people “break through their most difficult barriers” and with his shopping cart, he hopes to raise both some awareness and dollars. In his latest blog, Roberts admits, his trek is a “big challenge” but so is youth homelessness – it’s such a complex issue, he said. And when one begins to “delve into these problems, it can feel overwhelming – kind of like the thought when one considers how to push a shopping cart 9,000 kilometres.” While Roberts knows, there’s no magic answer – he believes the key is to look at both challenges, one day at a time. A look at each issue and every community – and the people individually

Rose Ellery Park continues to blossom By Sarah Hyatt

Brighton – With a little help from Brightonians, anything is possible. The Rose Ellery Park tells this story and more – and it’s growing. On Saturday, Oct. 15, a dedicated group celebrated several new additions to the park for 2016, including new trees, arbors and more flowers. The recent gathering also served

to pay thanks and acknowledge the many volunteers and organizations which have been instrumental in the ongoing beautification project, said Dennis Miluck, president for the Brighton Horticultural Society. “Every year, we’re trying to add to it,” said Miluck. The society, Ontario Horticultural Association, District 4, the municipality and former Northum-

berland stewardship committee, together, donated the new trees for the park. Many more have lent their hands and time over the course of the last three years to help the park continue to blossom and to add to the “country garden,” planted on the corner of Main and Ontario streets. Mayor Mark Walas said the group “has done a beautiful job,” as he walked through the park Saturday. He added the society and many individuals who’ve volunteered their time should be proud of the transformation that has taken place on the land. Both Walas and the former councillor the park was named after, certainly are proud. Ellery was also in attendance Saturday, with family and friends, to take in the new additions for the park. The park is situated on land, which has a history for the town dating back to the 1800s. Formerly known as the Bettes Homestead Site, a Georgia style home was erected on the land by Harrison C. Bettes and his wife, Caroline in 1844. The home remained a heritage landmark until a fire destroyed it in 2008. The area around the homestead was a centre of Brighton’s early economic development, for Main

land in 2011 and designated the site under the Ontario Heritage Act in 2012. Not long after, the land was transformed into the Rose Ellery Park, which now helps share Ellery’s story and stands to acknowledge her lifetime of contributions to Brighton. Ellery sat on council for more than 20 years, worked on the AppleFest committee for more than 30 years and was a founding member. Her volunteer work is well known throughout the community, as she’s been involved with countless other initiatives and committees over the decades. She was also key in helping Brighton receive recognition from Communities in Bloom. Many may remember Ellery pulling weeds around town or doing planting, before the municipality had the staff it does today. This is actually how she used to spend her one Thursday afternoon of the week off she recalled and laughed Saturday. Ellery’s always enjoyed keeping busy and has a love for gardening. “I just did it because I loved to and this is my home, not for any glory,” she said. Ellery continues to chip in where she can, whether that’s planting flowers or assisting with beautification projects at her church. Still, she never expected to have a park named after her, she said. “There are a lot of hard workers in Brighton,” she said, noting that much was proven Saturday, as she visited the park. It sure is beautiful, she added. The society is always looking for anyone who may be interested in helping with ongoing efforts at the park. Whether someone maybe interested in donating funds or wanting to help with maintenance, the weeds are certainly free for the taking, said Miluck.

Brighton’s Own

By Vic Schukov

Welcome to

Peter Solmes, our county’s prolific minstrel places I know.” So inspired, Solmes has since put out 13 CDs of original songs overflowing with references to local history and culture. His latest CD, Presqu’ile and Beyond, is a sweet honky-tonk journey with a vein of haunting fiddle and roving piano licks. His rhythmic music makes one daydream of country waltzes. And his song titles bespeak a soundtrack for cottage life: At the Quick’s Presqu’ile Pavilion, No Train Stop in Brighton, Summer in a Lakeside Town, Out on Prequ’ile Bay, Lake Ontario Morn, The Bay of Quinte Waltz, Applefest in Brighton. “I paint pictures with words,” says Solmes. “The music shades the background. My musical work ethic is the

Brighton is as rich in historians as it is in accomplished musicians, but rarely does one see both vocations manifested in one soul; Peter Solmes is one such minstrel. Born and raised in Toronto, he moved to Brighton in 2013. And yet, he carries a deep historical connection to the town: “My family, going back to my greatgrand parents,” says Solmes, “started coming here every summer to stay at Grant Quick’s Hotel Presqu’ile. In 1929, the Solmes bought a cottage in what is now the residential part of the lake. It’s still in the family, and we gather there on special occasions. If you add up the summers, I have a lot of years here.” As a performing musician, his experience goes way back: “When I was four years old, I played the triangle in my kindergarten rhythm band,” he says tonguein-cheek. “The next year I graduated to the drum because I was the biggest kid and I didn’t fall over.” Following years of piano lessons and learning guitar on his own, he formed a university rock and roll band. On top of that, Solmes spent six years in a music conservatory, honing his gifted singing voice. His “day job” for 26 years was that of a Toronto police officer both uniformed and investigative. His musicianship came in handy as he spent 25 of those years in a country rock police band called The Copper Tones (great name): He says, “The name was the Chief-of-Police’s wife’s idea and we weren’t going to argue.” His parallel passion for local history is not surprising, judging by his roots: The Solmes arrived in 1775 as Empire Loyalists. A little east on county road 15, south of Belleville, there is a small town called Solmesville with a rightfully named pioneer cemetery and a designated heritage Solmes house. In 1992, while watching a CBC special on Canadian country music, he was moved when Stompin Tom Connors was quoted as saying, “I don’t know why people are writing about all these other topics.” Solmes says, “I thought he was right, and that I should write about the Peter Solmes at home.

same as that of my earlier career. I work hard, and if it’s not worth doing a 110 percent, why bother? I love taking a song from my home to the bells and whistles of a recording studio.” Some of his old urban Toronto friends natter, “Why Brighton?” His answer is to the point: “I have a long family history here, and I don’t have to rush to get anywhere. You know something? There is so much to see in our natural surroundings and below the clouds that pass over the water. It’s peaceful.” (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people.

The project was initiated by her late husband, Roy, “and we all did our part,” Rittwage said. The barn has been “successful ever since” it opened in 2002, hosting two to three amateur productions and a Christmas revue each year and it has “never (been) in the red,” she said. The barn theatre keeps Proctor House “in tip-top shape ... It is our golden goose.” Booking professional acts and troupes is “too big a gamble,” because “you have to guarantee them so much money,” even if the show is cancelled or draws too few people.

Leftovers – great taste, less waste, and a chance to win a prize Northumberland County – It’s Waste Reduction Week and the country is doing its part by asking residents to take up the #GreatTasteLess Waste Challenge. With approximately one-third of all household waste being organic, the challenge is intended to “inspire people to think creatively about how to keep unnecessary waste – and in particular food waste – out of Northumberland landfills,” the county said in a release. All this week it’s posting one twominute recipe video per day to its corporate Facebook and Twitter accounts.

The recipes prepared and demonstrated by chef Emilio Ojeda from the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre in Colborne feature quick-to-make meals made from typical leftovers. Viewers are encouraged to use up food in their fridge rather than toss it in the garbage. The recipes include savory bread pudding, rice and chicken soup, spaghetti patties with curry and more. By liking, commenting and/or sharing the videos online, viewers will be entered into prize draws.

“Over 30 per cent of the food Canadians buy each year is wasted – that equates to approximately 660 pounds of food a year for the average Canadian household,” County Warden Gil Brocanier stated. Northumberland County has a long-term goal of reaching 75 per cent waste diversion from its landfill in Brighton. The campaign is “a creative way” of getting people to help the county to achieve its goal by encouraging them to make “small changes in

their day-to-day habits.” The prizes being offered are 10 composters, five Northumberland County coolers and five Northumberland County zip-up sweaters. Individuals are permitted to ‘like’ each post one time on Facebook and one time on Twitter. Each ‘like’ will be equivalent to one ballot entry into a draw for prizes. Additional chances to win can be obtained by posting a different comment with each video on Facebook how you use leftovers to get great taste

and make less waste. You can also retweet each video one time only to obtain an extra ballot each time, mentioning @North_ County. In all posts, use the hashtag #GreatTasteLessWaste. For full Challenge rules, as well as information about how you can help get Northumberland County achieve its long-term goal of 75 per cent waste diversion, visit www.NorthumberlandCounty.ca/MakeLessWaste.

Charity continuing with plans for camp to serve people with autism By John Campbell

Trent Hills -- A proposal to build a retreat with programs for families with members who have autism, first put to council three years ago, remains in the works. More details were brought forward last week with an application for a zoning amendment requested by Lindsey Village for a 191-acre parcel at 74 Concession Road 11 East near Hastings. With the change in zoning – given the goahead by council Oct. 4 – the charitable organization will be able proceed with plans “to provide education, training and support to children, parents and caregivers under the supervision and guidance of trained professionals, to maximize the potential of autistic individuals,” director of planning Jim Peters said. Families attending the summer camp, between mid-May and the end of September, would learn about farming and get to experience the natural environment, which includes a wooded area, trails and ponds, where canoes and paddle boats could be used. There would be accommodations provided on-site. “We’re talking at most six to eight cabins and trailers,” Peters said. “It would be a gradual roll-out of programs and what we offer, depending on the needs within the community,” Lindsey Village CEO Ron Swadding said in an interview. Programs would include teaching parents “how to deal with their autistic children better,”

he said. The aim is to create “a community feeling” among parents and siblings. “Autistic children will be not only exposed to other autistic children,” but their siblings as well, “to get that social acceptance,” Swaddling said. There’s also the “therapeutic value” of being around animals and out in the country “in that kind of environment,” he added. “The parents can support each other as well, and make those connections possible.” The cabins will be small because the families won’t be staying for any length of time, “it’s just going to be in and out,” Swaddling said. “They can come out on a day outing basis as well ... For some it will be for a couple of days at a time, some may come for a week.” The pace and scale of the site’s development will hinge on funding from a variety sources, he said. “Getting the zoning ... we’ll now be able to move forward.” Sixty-three families in an area encompassing Cobourg, Belleville, Madoc and Peterborough have shown interest in the program the charitable organization is putting together, Swaddling said. “That was an important determining factor in what we’re going to do.” A small part of the property is being used to grow crash crops and there is a sugar bush as well as a small orchard. A vegetable garden will be added next year, along with a few animals, such as chickens, Swaddling said.

Northumberland Went to War – and you can follow in its footsteps

Brighton – The Great War is being commemorated in local displays set up in communities throughout the county that will form part of a larger exhibit, “Northumberland Went to War 1914-1918” at the Art Gallery of Northumberland (AGN). “There is good Brighton content,” said local historian Dan Buchanan, who is involved in the project. He will have a small display at the Brighton Public Library Oct. 17-28, after which it be shown at the art gallery. There, a large display, comprising artifacts and pictures drawn from the smaller collections that were shown in advance around the area, will occupy the gallery’s entire space for the month of November and remain in place until Dec. 4. The results of a photography contest that had cenotaphs as the subject will also be on display. Buchanan said along with his material will be artifacts from Memory Junction Railway Museum, “in particular the red banners displaying battle names.” The municipality is also lending its honour roll from the First World War, “a large framed item which I had not seen before,” he said.

The art gallery will hold a gala opening Nov. 5, from 7 to 9 p.m., with Ian and Sharon Graham of Hilton providing the entertainment. “They are looking for good crowds at the AGN,” Buchanan said, especially for the opening. The personal artifacts from soldiers and the war in general should be “very interesting” and “since it is the AGN doing it, everything will be displayed artistically and professionally.” In conjunction with the Northumberland Went to War project, Buchanan will be the guest speaker at a meeting of the Cobourg and District Historical Society Nov. 22 at the art gallery. He will reprise a presentation he gave at Hilton Hall in 2014, “They Went Together,” about two Brighton men, Keith Roblin and Bill Nesbitt, who enlisted in October 1914. John Stephens, of Brighton, who wrote their story and included a good deal of First World War history, “ takes them through their training, participation in battles and their wounds – and ultimately their return home,” Buchanan said. “I am using this same story in a different context because it is powerful and moving in and of itself – and seemed to fit this project.”

Northumberland receiving $2 million to end homelessness in county Last year, the initiative helped almost 40,000 families and individuals experiencing homelessness obtain housing, and it enabled more than 115,000 families and individuals atrisk of homelessness to remain in their homes. “Our government is committed to ending homelessness in Ontario,” Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi said in a release. “The Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative gives communities like ours the flexibility to address local priorities and better meet the needs of individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.” Warden Gil Brocanier said “bringing community partners together, coordinating resources, and targeting services and supports” will result in

This Band of Brothers could really swing By Andy Sparling

Seventy years ago, my dad, Phil Sparling, came home to Canada (London, Ontario) after World War Two. He was 23 years old, and hadn’t fired a shot. He and the other 20-somethings in the RCAF Streamliners, a 15-piece big band considered one of Canada’s best, had packed up their horns and headed for home on the Ile de France, a luxury ocean liner that had been converted into a troop and munitions carrier during the war. As they sailed home, the Streamliners knew their lives would be forever affected by what they had done, where they had been, and what they had seen in the previous 20 months. In June 1944, they’d been posted to Europe with the task of providing a musical taste of home for soldiers, sailors and airmen not just from Canada, but from all allied nations. In sometimes dangerous and always challenging conditions, the Streamliners played more than 600 gigs - an average of one every day, seven days a week - throughout the UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, and Denmark. They travelled thousands of miles in trains and trucks - occasionally under fire - and hopped between continents in unarmed Dakota C3 planes to play

for soldiers in freshly-liberated territory mere yards away from the front lines. They witnessed the horror of a German concentration camp. Their big band swing and jazz was featured regularly on BBC radio broadcasts, and they alternated billing with the great Glenn Miller American Army band at the Queensbury All-Services Club, in what is now London’s Prince Edward Theatre. And like all wartime Londoners, they scrambled to stay clear of German V1 and V2 rockets, sometimes fervently wishing they could ditch their uniforms and join the civilians who sought the safety of the underground shelters. After arriving in London shortly after D-Day, the Streamliners played for troops throughout the UK. They entertained often in London, when German rockets rained down nightly for a while. Drummer Don Hilton, who would go on to a career in music in Toronto that included the Juliette show on CBC-TV and backing jazz greats Art Blakey and Oscar Peterson, can now laugh about one particularly harrowing night. Hilton and bandmate Jack Perdue woke up to the sirens and heard the engine of what Perdue thought was a truck outside, but what Hilton guessed could well be an approaching rocket. It was hard on the nerves,

because if the engine cut out, it was likely a V1 rocket that would soon fall and explode nearby. “What do you think that is, Jack?

“Yes it is, it’s just a truck.” “No it isn’t.”

“Oh, it’s just a truck.”

“Yes it is.”

“I don’t think it is a truck, Jack.”

So they waited awhile longer, and

the engine stopped. “It is like hell a truck, that’s a bomb!” They scurried downstairs to safety in the nick of time, the bomb exploding nearby. Please see “Brothers” on page 21

Hilton also recalls that on the day the great American bandleader Glenn Miller took his fateful flight across the English Channel, never to be heard from again, the Streamliners set out in skies filled with enemy air activity for Eindhoven, Holland. Trombonist Charlie Overall, looking out his window, announced that he could see a lot of fighter aircraft nearby. Understandably concerned, to say the least, the others held their

breath for a few moments until he updated his report with “It’s okay… they’re ours!” Hilton recalls another close call when the band played a recently re-captured German airfield, again in Eindhoven. The Streamliners were headed there for New Year’s Eve, but bad weather forced them to camp in a hospital for the night. The next morning, hundreds of wounded soldiers were brought in to that hospital from the airfield, as the Germans had attacked once

again in an effort to reclaim it. On their way from Eindhoven to Arnhem, Germany to a concert for Canadian Army troops, the band crossed the Nijmegen bridge under shell fire. When they made it to the concert site just 250 yards from the German lines, they played for soldiers who pointed their guns at the door every time it opened, just in case some of the German paratroopers in the area decided to drop in. Another surviving band member is guitarist Len Coppold, now in his mid-90s and still playing in Melbourne, Florida. He’ll never forget what he saw the day the band was taken to the German concentration camp Bergen Belsen after playing in Celle, Germany. The prisoners had been freed by American troops just days before the band’s arrival. “We went through the gates, and you just wanted to faint. The people who’d been imprisoned and tortured for three years were just there….they had nothing to do and no place to go. It was a terrible, terrible scene. These people weighed just 60 to 65 pounds maximum, lying on the ground, and holding their hands on the fence...and then we saw the ovens. It just demolished me.”

My dad died in 2010. A year before, I asked him to write down what he remembered about the end of the war. “At a concert near Apeldoorn in Holland, we could hear the rumble of guns as the Battle of the Bulge fizzled out. By boat back to England, where we added the France and Germany Star to the Defense of Britain Ribbon. Some heroes. Always felt sheepish when guys who fought and killed and lived in terror in planes and trenches started applauding us.” “I remember joining the giddy mobs on VE Day, and surging down the Strand to the Palace and cheering the Royals who appeared at intervals all day. They wept; we wept; the gods wept.” “Well, as the guy with billboards in Piccadilly Circus proclaimed, “the end is nigh.” Nine more frustrating months passed before we found ourselves trooping up the gangplank of the “Ile de France,” destination Canada. It was time to savour the improbable success we had enjoyed, time to sweep it all under a mat, and get on with the rest of our lives.” For Don Hilton, drumming for the RCAF Streamliners was one of the best experiences of his life. “We were like brothers. We were

together so long, and we went through a lot together, with bombings in London night after night. I’ll never forget it. Never.”

G-Hawks fall to Cobourg Cougars By Erin Stewart

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks fell to the Cobourg Cougars 6-3 on home ice on Friday Oct. 14, something that G-Hawks fans and the team are not accustomed to. The Cougars came out hard, rattling the Hawks with solid hits and managing to rack up two goals while the Hawks scored one in the first period. All three goals scored in the first were on power plays. Cobourg’s Jesse Baird scored unassisted and Brennan Roy scored one, assisted by Brenden Locke and Baird. Trenton’s Jeremy Pullara scored his power play goal assisted by Austin Bottrell and Brandon Marinelli. Cobourg continued to score two goals to Trenton’s one in the second and third period. The Cougars’ Hunter Atchison and Ryan Casselman each scored twice, one goal each in the second and third, bringing Cobourg to their 6-goal final. Atchison and Casselman were assisted by Sam Dunn, Matthew Carroll, Josh Maguire and Locke. Liam Morgan scored Trenton’s The Trenton Golden Hawks’ Jordan Chard, 11, scores during the third period second goal during the second period against the Cobourg Cougars in Trento on Friday Oct. 14.

next time they face the Cougars. “We need to stay out of the penalty box, obviously they got a couple power play goals on us, that’s number one,” he said. “We’ve just got to do what we know how to do, we’ve got to put more pucks in the net.” Assistant coach Kevin Forrest said the Hawks didn’t really execute their systems from the start and took a lot of time to settle down and get their heads right. “We talked about making sure we were ready mentally, making sure we were ready for a lot of board battles, and they came out flying hard like we thought and kind of got us rattled initially,” he said. Forrest said the Hawks picked up the pace in the second period but were chasing the game after the Cougars’ third goal. The Hawks now stand at an 11-20-0 record so far this season. Their next game is “Hockey for Harambe” night in Trenton against the Burlington Cougars on Wednesday Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m. The Hawks will also faceoff at home against the Aurora Tigers on Friday Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m.

Tweed woman settles suit with killer Williams Central Hastings News - A Tweed woman’s lawsuit against convicted sex killer Russell Williams and his wife has been settled. Sexual assault victim Laurie Massicotte, who lived two doors from Williams’ cottage on Stoco Lake, had filed a nearly $7-million lawsuit in late 2011 against Williams, his wife Mary Elizabeth Harriman and the province of Ontario. Massicotte reportedly settled with the province last year, but the suit against Williams and his wife had remained active. According to The Canadian Press, Harriman’s lawyer Mary Jane Binks said that the lawsuit was settled “very recently.” “The civil action launched by Laurie Massicotte has now been Russell Williams, as he appeared being led from Hastings County settled,” Binks told The Canadian courthouse n Belleville in 2010. File photo Press. “All parties want their

privacy.” Details of the settlement were not disclosed. Williams, once a rising star in the Canadian Forces, was sentenced to life in prison in October 2010 after pleading guilty to the murders of two women. In 2014, he reached an out-ofcourt settlement with some of his victims, but the suit by Massicotte, who chose to reveal her identity and speak publicly about her ordeal, had remained active. In her statement of claim, Massicotte said she had been bound and sexually assaulted by Williams in her home in September 2009. She said, in the claim, that the attack against her left her fearful, humiliated, depressed, suicidal, unable to function in society. It also said she would require

extensive therapy. Williams was convicted of firstdegree murder in the sex slayings of Cpl. Marie-France Comeau, 37, of Brighton, and Jessica Lloyd, 27, of Belleville. The former commander of Canada’s largest military airfield also pleaded guilty to 82 fetish break-and-enters and thefts as well as two sexual assaults. Williams methodically chronicled and catalogued his crimes, shooting videos and still photos of himself in the act and amassing a huge collection of undergarments stolen from women and girls. Dozens of gruesome photos were shown during his trial. The Canadian Forces stripped him of his rank after his conviction and, in a rare move, burned his uniform.

Albert College raises flag to celebrate 160 years

Belleville – Albert College kicked off its 160th anniversary recently, with a special flag-raising ceremony at the front of the senior school. Head of School Keith Stansfield, introduced the ceremony by saying, “When Albert College was founded in 1857, British North America was a group of colonies; forests were still being cleared in Hastings and Frontenac counties and logs floated down the Moira River.” Albert College, a private school in west-end Belleville, is Canada’s oldest co-educational boarding and day school.

Staff, faculty, parents, students and alumni gathered at the Dundas Street West location. Student representatives from the junior, middle and senior schools raised the anniversary flag while Albert College’s brasswind ensemble performed the Albert College hymn. The Albert College hymn in itself is a long-standing tradition at the school and is well-known. Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher, spoke to the crowd and gave congratulations to the college on behalf of the City. “It is wonderful to have such a prestigious and well-known

independent school in our community,” said Christopher. “It is important that we support Albert College and its students and encourage them to stay in our community to grow their profession and support the community.” The event was one of many anniversary events taking place at the school this year including the Shewfelt Lecture on Tuesday, December 6; the Anniversary Ball on Saturday, April 29, and John Davidson ’59 Memorial Golf Tournament on Friday, June 9.

Woodlot course has pros as profs Oct. 22, 29 Do you want to know more about your woodlot and sustainable forestry? Come and learn from the experts at the Managing Your Woodlot course. The Local Wood Initiative, with support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, is hosting a two-day course in the classroom and out in the woods, led by professional foresters. The outdoor session allows you to try out the techniques and decision-making processes covered in class. The Course Dates are Saturday, October 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday,

October 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Dungannon Recreation Centre at 26596 Hwy 62 in L’Amable, Ontario (south of Bancroft). Registration is required. Woodlot owners can enhance and protect the health of their woods. Trees play a vital role in sequestering carbon; they provide wood for lumber and fuel, purify the air and provide habitat for a huge variety of insects, birds and animals. Woodlots and forestry provide jobs and are an important part of Ontario’s economy. “The important environmental func-

tions of woodlots can be maintained, and in many cases, improved with active management that may result in financial return,” says course leader David Smallwood. The first morning session of the course covers the history of forestry in Eastern Ontario. The second morning session covers the types of forest stands (from upland hardwoods to treed woods, to coniferous plantations), and how to create a forest management plan. The two afternoon sessions provide outdoor lessons in apply-

ing sustainable techniques in the woodlot. With a forest management plan, a landowner can set goals that may include collecting fuel wood, promoting wildlife, managing for recreation or harvesting lumber. If you want to harvest wood for lumber or firewood, there are many factors to consider, such as getting bids from several reputable contractors and having a contract in place. The Bancroft and Area Forest Industry Association (BAFIA) is a good resource, with their code of sustain-

able forestry practice. The Managing Your Woodlot course will be taught by David Smallwood, assisted by Fred Werner and Peter Hynard; all are professional foresters. To register, please contact Matt Caruana (613) 391-9034 info@hastingsstewardship.ca or Louise Livingstone (613) 395-4388, info@harvesthastings.ca. The cost is $50 per person or $75 per couple.

“On Golden Pond “ is a fun romp for Guild players By Jack Evans

Most people think of “On Golden Pond,” the Ernest Thompson play which was made into a hugely successful movie, as a drama. If so, it is the funniest “drama” the Bellville Theatre Guild has ever presented, judging from Thursday night’s opening audience. With an elderly Norman Thayer obviously suffering from dementia, an estranged relationship with his daughter and a nagging (albeit mildly so) wife, one could sense the imminence of drama and tragedy throughout. But Jim Langille as professor emeritus Norman Thayer Jr. kept the audience in stitches with his deadpan humour and clever delivery of well-written lines. Even the forgetfulness banter was funny, not to mention the near-death heart attack at the end. Langille’s powerful performance was well matched by the rest of the cast. Veteran Judy Preece played his loving spouse of several decades, Ethel, to perfection. Enno Busse as Charlie, the friendly local mailman, former boyfriend of Thayer’s daughter, Chelsea, was also up to the mark as was Alexandra Bell as Chelsea and especially child star extraordinaire Max Archer as Billy

Ray Jr., the son of Chelsea’s new husband. Max, just a few weeks ago was winning hundreds of hearts as one of two Winthrops in the guild’s presentation of “The Music Man.” Chelsea’s husband, Bill Ray, a California dentist, is played in turns by Mark Lesage and Robert Lloyd. The story is set on a small lake called Golden Pond somewhere in Maine, where the Thayers have enjoyed summers in a rustic cottage summer home for many years. The set, created by theatre guild stalwart Liz Marshall, is breathtaking, with pine-panelled walls, large picture window overlooking the lake and lighting on the lake mural to reflect different times of day, a fireplace and more. Note the bamboo curtains over the window. Even if you’ve seen live versions of this play before, and there have been many, the beauty of live theatre is that the cast and director change and put new spins on it. This reviewer has seen professional companies do far worse with this script. Director Esther Parry also praised the work of Langille in the main role. “He had not had much experience, especially in key roles, but I could see he was the right person for that

part from the start. It all depends on the delivery of lines. The entire cast is wonderful,” she said. This decades old classic by playwright Thompson is an allout delight as the near capacity

audience Thursday attested to with generous laughter and applause. The show continues through Oct. 29, with matinees on Sundays. For ticket information, call The Pinnacle Playhouse, (613) 967-1442.

The guild’s next show is Dec. 1 through 17, the classic comedy, “Arsenic and Old Lace.” If the guild can turn a near drama into a comedy, one will need sides of steel to set through this hilarious hit.

Left to right, cast members of the Belleville Theatre Guild’s new show, “On Golden Pond,” take their final bow on opening night. They are Mark Lesage, Alexandra Bell, Judy Preece, Jim Langille, Max Archer and Enno Busse. Jack Evans/Metroland

TRAVEL

A Visit to the Buddy Holly Centre in Lubbock, Texas By John M. Smith

I recently had the opportunity to visit Lubbock, Texas, home to the Buddy Holly Centre, so I decided to go and check it out. After all, his music had been one of my very first rock & roll influences, and although I was not very old at the time of his untimely death in a plane crash, I still was old enough to remember several of his memorable and often upbeat songs: “Peggy Sue”; That’ll Be the Day”; “Words of Love”; “True Love Ways”; “Raining in My Heart”; “It Doesn’t Matter Any More”; “Not Fade Away”; “Oh, Boy”; “It’s So Easy”. Charles Hardin Holley was born in Lubbock, Texas on Sept. 7, 1936 and he died in a plane crash, along with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, on Feb. 3, 1959. This tragic death was later immortalized in a song by Don McLean entitled “American Pie” in which McLean referred to “The Day the Music Died”. Indeed, Buddy Holley had achieved a lot in his very short lifespan – and he proved to be a great influence on many singers who would follow, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, the Everly Brothers, and the Grateful Dead. Much of this is detailed in the museum, and I learned that many of these artists held Buddy in very high esteem. For example, John Lennon did a version of Holly’s “That’ll Be the Day” on his first recording session with “The Quarrymen” (prior to the formation of “The Beatles”), and both John Lennon and Paul McCartney confided that he was their “greatest influence” – and studied his style very closely. Their first big hit, “Love Me Do”, was certainly influenced by Holly’s techniques, and some have even said that Buddy Holly’s insect-themed group, “the Crickets”, helped John and Paul decide on the name “The Beatles”. A version of Holly’s “Words of Love” was included on their 1964 album, “Beatles for Sale”. Apparently a young Elton John was also so enraptured by Buddy Holly that he decided to wear horn-rimmed glasses at the age of 13, to imitate him, and Bruce Springsteen once stated that “I play Buddy Holly every night before I go on; that keeps me honest”. I suppose that some people would have thought that Buddy Holly was a very odd rock star, for he looked rather thin and frail and had very poor eyesight (and wore thick, horn-rimmed glasses that later were popularized as “Buddy Holly glasses”). Those glasses were recovered after the fateful plane crash, and they’re now on display in the Buddy Holly Centre. In fact, as I approached this museum, the first item that I noticed was a gigantic pair of glasses that now serve as a memorial in front of the Buddy Holly Museum – and many visitors now choose to get a photo standing in front

of those oversized glasses (as I did). When I began my tour of the actual centre, I learned a lot about Buddy’s early years, too. The nickname of “Buddy” had been given to him early on, and it remained with him. He grew up in a musical family, and he sang at a birthday party by the age of 4. At 5, he won his first singing contest! In 1953, he formed a group, “Buddy and Bob”, with his friend Bob Montgomery. By 1955, he was opening for Elvis, and in 1956 he was signed to a contract by Decca Records. Unfortunately, his name was misspelled, so Buddy Holley became known as Buddy Holly from that day on. In 1956, Holly and the Crickets began to soar up the charts. Later, Buddy became one of the first artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was said to be “the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll”. One of my favourite parts of my tour was watching Paul McCartney’s documentary film, “The Real Buddy Holly Story” in the Buddy Holly Centre’s theatre, for it provided me with much of the background information – and included interviews with Paul, Keith Richards, the Everly Brothers, and Holly’s family, among others. I also learned that Paul McCartney now owns the publishing rights to Buddy Holly’s song catalogue. The Buddy Holly Centre is located on Crickets Avenue, one street east of Buddy Holly Avenue, and is housed in a former rail depot. There’s also a large Buddy Holly statue and a West Texas Walk of Fame in Lubbock. I just happened to be in Lubbock

back in September, on the very day that Buddy would have been celebrating a birthday, so I also went to the Lubbock Cemetery, where he was buried, and I found that several fans had decorated his grave with birthday wishes. I also found that his name was spelled correctly on his headstone. Lubbock is located in northwest Texas, and it’s often referred to as the “Hub City”, for several major highways connect there. It’s home to Texas Tech University, the National Ranching Heritage Centre, the Silent Wings John visits Buddy’s grave on Buddy’s birthday.

Beloved wife of Jim Bateman. Dear sister of Rudy Hynes. Penney had a busy life, in that she left home to become a nurse at the age of 16.

She joined the Canadian Air Force and became an Aeromedical Evacuation Nurse too. In later years, Penney left the forces and became the resident Public Health Nurse for Hastings County which brought her into the prenatal world and consequent baby follow-ups. After retiring, she immediately volunteered to assist farmer friends selling vegetables at the Belleville Farmer’s Market. The swimming pool was her stress reliever and she taught most of the local kids to swim. Her desire to travel was very evident and a month before passing she did a very enjoyable 2 week tour of Ireland. Cremation has taken place.

The Good Earth:

Quinte Botanical Gardens, Part 2

Dan Clost Gentle Reader, what follows are excerpts from a talk given at Quinte Botanical Gardens; QBG has the potential to become one of the best horticultural experiences in this part of Ontario.

Keeping estate grounds neat and trim can easily become a chore. If that is your experience, consider shopping it out. Can you pay someone to cut the grass, trim the beds, and clean up a bit? Consider hosting a family get together/yardwork bee. Those who are already starting to creak a bit when they walk become meal preparers; the younger ones are the hortulans. Pick spring and fall dates- not a long weekend or anything that clashes with whatever familial rhythms your clan has settled in to. As you plan, look at each step and ask yourself, “What comes next?” This will give you a game to accomplish the gardening tasks and make for great family time. Weeding is a needless and timeconsuming chore. Weeds in our lawns are probably the easiest to manage. All you have to do is grow good grass and it will do the weeding for you. Set the mower at 3” and several things will happen:

the longer grass will shade out weed seeds, some bugs, e.g. Japanese beetles, don’t like long grass and will bypass your sward and you will spend less time mowing. Weeds in flower beds can be managed with two methods. Surprisingly, weed cloth is not one of them; in fact, I don’t favour weed cloth at all. I have found that weed mat in an active bed- bulbs, perennials and the toils associated with them- is more trouble than its worth. I use a thicker layer of mulch which is replenished annually. It works just as well, and I can work the ground however I want. One method is to completely cover the soil with plants. Our “Anniversary Garden,” an ellipsoid 15’ by 8’, contains a wonderfully entwined jumble of catmint, coreopsis ,strawberry, Country Gold euonymus, Carolina Allspice, Lemon Lights azalea, Bonica rose, Adam’s Needle yucca, several daylilies ,allium, and Autumn Joy

sedum. A strawberry hydrangea standard anchors one end, a Chinese flowering dogwood the other. A bird bath with a fat ceramic pigeon locates centre point. This garden requires the least amount of care. Our Dry Shade garden is heavily mulched. Daffodils, false spirea, day-lily, big leaf hydrangea, hosta, Haakon grass, and a peony are well spaced, and a rescued Japanese maple provides a bit of height. The shade is provided by an ancient lilac and the neighbour’s Manitoba maple. There is very little work to do. There are many choices for minimal care plants. The following will do well in dry areas and, in fact, are often done in by too much TLC: heuchera- Lime Marmalade, Obsidian, Autumn Leaves, Black Currant; Electra tiarella; Tiny Rubies dianthus; Autumn Fire sedum; Prince Herbert anemone; Hidcote lavender; Biokovo

geranium; grasses- Red Baron, Little Sioux Blue, Prairie Fire, All Gold haakon, Morrow’s sedge; Raspberry Jam tulip mix; and a daffodil mix. Weeding in the veggie garden is even simpler. Cover the soil with a thick layer (6”) of straw prior to planting. When planting, pull back the straw to expose the soil. You can walk on the straw without compacting the soil which means plant roots can easily spread where they want, less water is used, slugs don’t like dry straw, at the end of the year simply turn the straw into the soil. Look for an in-depth column on this in the archives of this newspaper. When have to do physical work use the proper tool- one that is fitted to your hand and your body. Gloves and kneepads are tools. End notes: It is a sad day; we grieve the passing of our friend Jason Forth. He was a man who made everyone around him better.

A caring gift for CMHA Members of the board for the Canadian Mental Health Association Hastings-Prince Edward branch gathered at the Maurice Rollins Hope Centre with represenatives from 100+ Women Who Care Quinte to present a cheque fir $15,400 for the mental health organization. The funds, raised at the September meeting of the 100+ Women organization, will be directed to supporting the CMHA’s ongoing bereavement counselling for area friends and families of those who have taken their life by suicide. It’s a grim, but vital service, said CMHA executive director Sandie Sidsworth, who personally oversees two counselling sessions for those suffering such loss each month.

Cordova man pleads to pimping Belleville – A Cordova Mines man avoided a trial with a guilty plea in Belleville court to prostitution and pimping charges, but couldn’t elude jail time for his crimes. Twenty nine year old Travis Althouse pleaded guilty in Belleville criminal court last week on one count each of attempting to procure a person to become a prostitute and living on the avails of prostitution. Following his guilty plea at pre-trial, he was given a 10-month jail sentence, a 10 year

weapons ban and was ordered to provide a DNA sample to the national criminal DNA data bank. Althouse and Matthew Cole, 30, of Belleville were charged earlier this year by OPP in Centre Hastings after an investigation into possible prostitution in the area, as well as in Belleville and Kingston, began. Cole is out on bail, but still before the courts on related charges.
