Look out Rotterdam, here comes Kuschnik By Sarah Hyatt
Colborne – Earlier this month, Colborne’s Harold Kuschnik was racing with some of the greats. Olympians Eric Gillis and Krista DuChene both participated in this year’s Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon and this year’s Canadian Marathon Championships – as did Kuschnik, for the fourth year in a row. “It was pretty inspiring to see them compete and meet with us more ordinary runners,” said Kuschnik. But, that’s not the only special moment the East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) teacher and cross-country coach is taking away from his recent competition. The long-time runner and multisport athlete has now conquered at the Canadian Triathlon Championships and marathon championships and just months apart. Besting runners from across Canada and other parts of the world, Kuschnik took first place in the men’s 55-59 age category at the recent marathon. He beat out 176 competitors to earn his winning title, with a time of 3:08:16. Overall, he placed 155 out of 3,849 runners. Of course, the Colborne athlete is

taking away a few other fond memo- Trump can run, you can too!” ries. All-around, the atmosphere and “They had some of the best posters experience was one-of-a-kind, said at this year’s event,” Kuschnik joked. Kuschnik. One of which stated, “If Donald “This marathon is actually one of
my favourites,” he added. “It’s a big race and it’s well organized too. I love that I don’t have to travel to the U.S., New York, Boston or Philadelphia to compete for this one.” The new challenge for Kuschnik this year was switching gears from competing in the triathlon earlier in Ottawa. “It was a good race,” he said, but hard. Last year, Kuschnik finished in second place at the Toronto marathon – but with a better time than this year. “This wasn’t my fastest time,” he said. Each year, the marathon is a little different though, explained Kuschnik. Routes are adjusted and then there’s always the weather to factor in. This year was both rainy and warm, while Kuschnik was competing. “And that will slow you down some,” he said. Still, the Colborne resident was admittedly “elated” when he learned of his win. He was anticipating a lower ranking, given a slower time, he said. “When I went up to inquire about my place and they told me, ‘you won,’ I really was thrilled – it was actually a nice surprise,” he said. Running has been Kuschnik’s passion for more than 30 years. He even ran for ENSS back in the day. He’s well known on the local triath-
lon circuit as a true competitor. In 2015, he placed in the top three of his age category in five marathons. His most recent triumph gives Kuschnik confidence in his training, he said, as he transferred between the sports within the last few months and didn’t sustain any injuries. He underwent a “grueling” training program previously, to prepare for the triathlon championships. “I’m motivated to stay on track,” he said. Considering the juggling act the teacher is often performing between his job, family, coaching at the YMCA in Cobourg and with ENSS – he’s pretty pleased how everything has come together this year for him. In coming months, the only running events Kuschnik will be participating in will be for fun, he laughed. “I’m being mindful to not bite off more than I can chew.” Come the new year though, it’s back to business and spring racing. In September 2017, Kuschnik will head off to Rotterdam, Netherlands to represent Canada, at the World International Triathlon Union Championships. He earned his shot to compete after taking home bronze at the Canadian Triathlon Championships in the summer.

Campbellford woman loses $2,500 in telephone scam Brighton-Cramahe TownshipTrent Hills – Among the more than 300 incidents Northumberland OPP dealt with over a seven-day period (Oct. 14-21) was another area resident being defrauded by a telephone scam. A Campbellford woman reported receiving a call from someone claiming to be a court official who said her daughter had been arrested in Quebec and needed bail money. She was instructed to wire money to an account which she did. She received a second call the next day requesting more money and she again complied. The victim wired a total of $2,500 before calling her daughter at home who confirmed she was not in trouble. Police say details on this type of fraud and others can be viewed at the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website, http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/reportincident-signalerincident/index-eng.htm Oct 20 • Police attended a Brighton home in response to a resident threatening self-harm with a knife. Officers apprehended him without incident and transported him to a nearby hospital for assessment. He was later escorted by police to a treatment facility for further help. • A disturbance at a Trent Hills home resulted in one resident with mental health issues being taken to an
area hospital for treatment. Oct 19 • A resident on Maplewood Avenue in Brighton reported a suspicious man breaking into cars around 9:40 p.m. He was described as being n his late 40’s, six feet tall, wearing a camo jacket and hunting hat, and carrying a black backpack.

Council talks new fund, water trucks, training, strategic planning By Sarah Hyatt
Brighton – Staff is hopeful the new Clean Water and Wastewater Fund (CWWF) the federal government rolled out in September will benefit Brighton. Council authorized staff to submit an application to the CWWF recently, for the renewal and reconstruction of Orchard Crescent. Direction has also been given to staff to include the Orchard Crescent project in the 2017 budget. The CWWF is not competitionbased – which is a bonus, said CAO Bill Watson. In other words – this means hopes are high, say staff. The purpose of the fund is to support the rehabilitation and modernization of drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. If approved, the federal government would contribute roughly 50 per cent of the eligible project costs to a maximum of $138,424. The province would contribute an additional 25 per cent and up to $69, 212. Brighton would be expected to fund the remainder of the project. To be successful in receiving funding, Watson said projects must be included in the municipal asset management plan and in 2013; Orchard Crescent was identified as a priority replacement project. The estimated reconstruction costs for Orchard Crescent, including water, wastewater, stormwater and road work is $580,000, as reported by Linda Widdifield, director of finance and administrative services. Brighton’s portion would total $372,364. The struggle for Pinnacle Street South residents of Brighton concerning water trucks should be lessening, according to staff. With the addition of a catch basin, there should “be very little muck now,” said Watson. While admittedly the basin does not solve 100 per cent of the problem – it should provide residents some relief, the CAO said. The solution is considered “temporary.” Residents throughout the summer urged council for change and described the street as a mess. The dust and mud for residents was said to be “unbearable,” with some residents unable to open the windows of their homes. Council and staff would have to look at paving in the area next year to fully address issues, added Watson. In June, a group of residents petitioned council to relocate the water output from the parks and recreation building on the street, back to the industrial park. A report on potential relocation hasn’t made its way to the table to date. Council is following through on its promise to receive training, the public
CAO Bill Watson is hopeful Brighton will benefit from the federal government’s new Clean Water and Wastewater Fund. Metroland file photo
has heard. Staff and council are working to co-ordinate a training date in the near future. Councillors agreed Oct. 17, to “make every effort” to attend the session. Council previously agreed to a training session, to fulfill recommendations outlined after an investigation into council and staff relationships was undertaken over several months. Ian McArdle from Pesce and Associates Human Resources Consultants conducted the investigation and presented his report and findings publicly in July. Among McArdle’s recommendations, was that council, as a whole, takes the initiative for change and pursues additional training opportunities, such as the opportunity to learn
in greater depth, the role of council in a unionized setting. Council is also accepting feedback from residents on future training. Council recently approved a report to council regarding notices of motions, from Dave Cutler. Further, council
referred Cutler’s information to staff for a report on how to implement information to be included in council training. Cutler’s report included a few recommendations centred on clear procedures for taxpayers to register service concerns or suggestions directly with staff and for council to consider changing the procedural bylaw (or to simply adopt as standard practice), that notices of motions be accompanied by a standard report, alike staff reports. Cutler said notices of motions are a common feature of agendas, and consume “a lot of discussion time.” Such discussion generally centres on supporting or rejecting the motion rather than more exploration of the central issue, the history and possible actions, explains Cutler. What’s more, the resident said a majority of notices of motion, focus on giving direction to staff regarding operational matters – this according to Cutler, engages council in a managerial role, rather than its prescribed governance role. Cutler’s full report is available via the Oct. 17 agenda. A report on savings realized through LED lighting throughout the municipality is expected to come to the table soon. Strategic planning initiatives will also be coming to the forefront in the
near future. Watson said department heads are prioritizing and putting together a short list, which is anticipated to be presented to council by the end of November. Council has passed a bylaw to exempt the Brighton legion from municipal taxes for a period of 10 years. With Brighton’s meeting with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) also nearing on Nov. 15, council reminds residents, questions are preferred in advance to the meeting. However, residents may still ask questions at the meeting, Councillor John Martinello clarified. The meeting is being hosted concerning contamination at the former Cooey property and is open to all of the public. The deadline to submit questions is Nov. 1. Watson reminds residents, in submitting questions in advance, the ministry should have adequate time to provide residents with thorough answers. Residents with questions are asked to visit the municipal office or to email vkimmett@brighton.ca. The meeting will take place at the King Edward Park Community Centre, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Province to fund health care services at hospice to maximum $315,000 a year By John Campbell
Warkworth – The provincial government has committed to providing up to $315,000 year to The Bridge Hospice to cover its health care costs. Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi made the announcement Oct. 21 at the hospice, saying the permanent funding is “a real milestone� for the three-bed facility which opened in June 2013 and serves an area that includes Northumberland County and the Quinte region. “It’s been a long journey,� Rinaldi said, citing the efforts of volunteers who persevered in establishing The Bridge Hospice as the only residential hospice in the county. Glenn Rogers, a member of the Central East Local Health Integration Network, which plans, integrates and funds local health care, said the LHIN has determined “there is significant need for better palliative and end-of-life care services and supports� throughout the area it serves. “As the population continues to age, chronic illness and advanced co-morbid conditions become increasingly common, ensuring timely access to quality palliative and end-of-life care is not only an ethical imperative, but a vital component of our health-care system,� he said. Palliative care “aims to relieve suffering and focus on achieving comfort,� Rogers continued. “Incumbent in the care is respect for the persons nearing the end of life and maximizing quality of life for the patient, family and loved ones.� Bridge chair Jill Hutcheon thanked two people in particular who were present for the announcement: Rosaleen Dunne, “One of the three vi-
Central East Local Health Integration Network board member Glenn Rogers said “there is significant need for better palliative and end-of-life care services and supports� and The Bridge Hospice will be able to provide that with funding the province is providing as part of its Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care. John Campbell/Metroland
sionaries who saw the critical need for residential hospice, and with the help of the community made this dream a reality,� and former board chair, Dr. Robert Stephens, “Our patron who has steadfastly supported us in all our efforts throughout the years.� Afterwards, Stephens said it was a great day for the hospice, a day he sometimes thought “would never come. I’m really thrilled.� The level of care being provided at the hospice is more than he had imagined, which he attributed to the caring and compassion residents receive in
addition to the care they are provided. Vice-chair Jan Hux said the idea for the hospice originated 10 years ago with a chance meeting of three nurses, Dunne, Lynda Pecora and Pauline Faull, who believed more could be done in caring for people at the end of their lives. Faull died 11 months ago at the hospice. “We had the privilege of caring for her in the space that she helped to inspire,� Hux said. She said many others have been helped as well, including a homeless person who was “surrounded by beauty and care and love in her last days,� and “a resident with really fractured family relationships� for whom the hospice “created a place of safety where the family could congregate and where reconciliation and healing could happen.� The hospice has had 73 residents since its opening, 44 in the past year. The board’s treasurer, Gerry Hutcheon, said the government’s investment replaces temporary funding Saint Elizabeth Community Enterprise has been providing as part of a five-year agreement it signed with the hospice in 2015 to enhance health care services. He said having a permanent source of funding means stability, but the money being allocated does not cover operating and administrative costs. “We still have to do a lot of fundraising,� he said. “We’ve been very fortunate we’ve been reasonably successful in our fundraising efforts, but it’s still an ongoing issue.�

OPINION
A Tale of Two Cities
Two great sieges are getting underway in the Middle East, one in Mosul in Iraq and the other in Aleppo in Syria. They have a great deal in common, including the fact that the attackGwynne Dyer ers both depend heavily on foreign air power, but they are treated by most international media as though they were completely different events. How similar they are will become clearer with the passage of time. Sieges of cities, once a major part of warfare, grew rare in the course of the 20th century, mainly because of the rise of air power. You didn’t need to besiege cities any more, because you could just smash them to smithereens from the air: Guernica, Dresden, Hiroshima. But that’s not so easy in the era of instant global media coverage. Seventy years without a really major war have allowed us to develop a major dislike for killing civilians from the air. Nobody on either side would have been the least bit reluctant to blast Aleppo or Mosul into oblivion in 1945 if it served their strategic purposes, but moral tastes have changed. Every civilian death from bombing in Iraq and Syria – but not the thousands of other civilian casualties each month – is therefore publicly catalogued and condemned. The Russians are taking enormous criticism over their bombing of the rebel-held eastern part of Aleppo (although the indiscriminate “barrel bombs” are the work of the Syrian air force, not the Russians). The US air force has been much more careful about its bombing around Mosul so far, but it too will end up having to choose between bombing the city heavily and seeing the Iraqi government’s attack fail. Both Mosul and eastern Aleppo are Sunni Muslim cities facing an attempted reconquest by Shia-dominated national governments. In both cases the rebel fighters who control the besieged areas are jihadi extremists: Islamic State in Mosul, and the Nusra Front in eastern Aleppo. (In Aleppo, the jihadis number perhaps a thousand out of ten thousand fighters, but they dominate both the fighting and the decision-making.) In both cases, too, the troops on the government side are divided by ethnic and sectarian differences, and largely unreliable.
Brighton Independent 250 Sidney Street Belleville, ON K8P 3Z3 Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747 Published weekly by:
Which is why, in the end, government victory in both countries depends on foreign air power. In Aleppo, the troops leading the attack on the ground are mostly Shia militias recruited from Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan and paid for by Iran. Actual Syrian army troops have been decimated and exhausted by five years of war, and those who remain are being carefully husbanded. So they wait for the Russians to bomb the defenders to pieces, and just use the troops to mop up afterwards. In the case of Mosul, the attacking forces are even more varied. The Iraqi government’s regular troops are mostly Shia, and the pro-government militias are entirely Shia and notorious for treating Sunnis badly. Since almost everybody left in Mosul is Sunni, they are terrified of the government’s troops. The Iraqi govenment has therefore promised that Shia militias will not enter the city, nor will the Kurdish troops that are assisting in the early part of the offensive. What this means, however, is that very few soldiers will actually be fighting once the attack reaches the edge of the city proper. There will be perhaps 25,000 Iraqi regular army troops in the final assault, of whom maybe half can be relied on to fight. There will be around 5,000 American troops in the area, but they are not allowed to engage in direct combat. And there are about 1,500 Turkish army troops who have been training a Sunni militia north of Mosul (but the government in Baghdad has ordered them to leave). Islamic State’s five or six thousand fighters have had years to prepare their defences, and street fighting uses up attacking troops very fast. Even “precision” airstrikes in urban areas always mean lots of dead civilians, but central Mosul will not fall unless the United States uses its air force to dig the defenders out. Even the current advance across relatively open country south and east of Mosul relies on the massive use of air power to keep the attackers’ casualties down. When the troops reach the city limits, the whole operation will stall unless the US government starts serious bombing in the built-up area. If it does that, then the civilian casualties will be quite similar to those inflicted by the Russian air force in eastern Aleppo. But the Western media will doubtless still find ways to see a huge difference between the two.
Editorial by Chris Malette You know it’s a sure time of the change of seasons when the leaves are in the wind and lawn displays for Halloween begin to appear. It’s Halloween season and that can only mean one thing as certain as candy sizes are getting smaller and prices go up at the same time – it’s scare-mongering season. That’s right, it’s time to cringe in fear that little Ethan or Mercedes (it’s 2016, no one’s named Jane or Johnny any more) will come home and bite into a fentanyl-laced chocolate bar, slip a razor-infused Tootsie Roll into his or her mouth or, worse, be attacked by a scary clown. Ah, yes, scary clowns. It’s all the rage, these creepy clowned-up characters who are wandering about, scaring the bejeebers out of the general populace. Can you say ‘first world problem’ when one considers that someone in clown garb is striking terror in the hearts of the North American populace as Halloween approaches? You want real terror, go to Aleppo or Mosul. Creepy clown sightings aren’t new, by the way. They date, according to research done by the New York Times, from at least May 1981, “when the cryptozoologist Loren Coleman coined the term ‘phantom clowns’ to describe them. At the time, children in Brookline, Mass., were reporting clowns in vans who beckoned them with promises of candy. The police issued an all-points bulletin, established checkpoints and conducted searches, but no clowns were captured.” Lately, you’ll see the occasional news report of police cuffing one of these poor mooks, but rarely do you hear of a charge. Some clown – and we mean that in the most dismissive, pejorative term – in Picton allegedly punched someone before running off, recently. But, still, we’ll terrorize our kids and some adults with the spectre of gruesome clowns waiting in bushes this Halloween to frighten anyone who comes along. We’ve seen in the past where communities will advertise a “safe alternative” to trick-or-treating by holding a community shell-out at a rink or mall. Trenton, we notice, is doing just that with their “Boofest” from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Duncan McDonald rink. No disrespect or ill-will to the people who work hard to put this on, but since when was trick-or-treating ever an inherently dangerous thing to do?
Seems every few years, a new wave of hysteria is whipped up to prompt quavering parents to keep the kids in a small sphere of visiting only neighrbours they trust, family members and, for heaven’s sake, even their local church as they don’t trust any other places for their precious, bubble-wrapped darlings to visit. In Memphis, Tennessee, Dr. Jon McCullers, Chief Pediatrician at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, was quoted last Halloween as saying, yes, “parents have to remain vigilant,” but said in an online interview that the spectre of drug-tainted candy isn’t “on their radar” at the renowned children’s hospital. “We haven’t seen that here at Le Bonheur,” Dr. McCullers declared. “(The annual scare over drugged candy) goes back to when I was a kid. Everybody worried about that sort of thing.” And they still do. Yet, think about it. Of the millions of kids who trot out with mom and dad, showing remarkable ingenuity, in their creativity to come up with costumes that are “awwww, isn’t that cute” inducing, how many really come up with a pin in an apple or a hit of speed in their ju-jubes? None. Or next to none. That’s why it is the lone, rare news item that comes up on November 1 that carries the headline “Tampered candy found in Upper Musquodoboit.” There have, even back in our day, been reports of bullies who may occasionally shove a child to the ground and swipe his or her candy. But, is it a scourge of these roving zombies, hell-bent to snatch your kid’s Skittles? Not anywhere in any numbers worth reporting and police statistics bear that up. Sure, there will be volunteer groups walking our streets wearing reflective vests, making sure the bad apples aren’t after the candy apples (does anyone even give those out any more??) and that is a nice gesture. But, this Halloween, let’s remember it’s a time for the wee ones – and this means wee ones, not 15 and 16 year-olds – to go out, dress up, walk with mom and dad or their friends and have a little fun while filling their pillow cases and plastic pumpkins. It’s definitely not a time to be rendered paralyzed with fear that the creepy clown is ready to pounce and the weird old fella down the block is just waiting to drug little Ezekiel or Zoe. Lighten up and light up those jack-o-lanterns. Have a little fun. It’s contagious.

A stop sign will be placed at the northwest side of the Applewood and Loyalist intersection, council has decided.

Changes for Applewood and Loyalist intersection By Sarah Hyatt
From the review, staff determined a stop sign should be placed on the northwest corner, for vehicles travelling south bound on Applewood that are approaching Loyalist Drive, Kelly said in his report. “This will allow vehicles that are entering the industrial park on Loyalist Drive to have the right away,” he said. Labour and signage costs are not expected to exceed $500. A study concerning traffic volume in the area, which was requested by residents, has yet to be completed. CAO Bill Watson said equipment to complete the study has been in place elsewhere throughout the community recently. However, the CAO expects equipment to be in place soon. The analysis will help determine if more work is needed in the area, said Watson. Staff previously ordered “no truck signs” to be installed on Applewood Drive, just south of Loyalist Drive and on Stephen Street, just east of Prince Edward, with the hopes of helping remediate the situation.
Brighton – A stop sign at the northwest side of the Applewood and Loyalist intersection may help “clean up” some traffic concerns, council hopes. Council recently directed staff to prepare a bylaw to install a stop sign on the northwest side – acknowledging, “traffic has changed a bit in the area,” since the removal of a gate that once served sort of as a barrier between the industrial park and residential area. Earlier in the year, residents pleaded with council to reinstate the gate but their request was denied. Applewood and area residents had expressed worries that without the gate in place, the neighbourhood would turn into “a shortcut into the industrial complex.” Among their top concerns were noise, a lack of sidewalks in the area, pedestrian safety, concerns over property values of homes and a heavy traffic volume of trucks. With construction completed in the area and the removal of the gate and vehicles now able to continue through Applewood Drive to the Earlier suggestions from residents also asked residential area, public works project supervisor Lucas Kelly reported a review of the intersec- council to investigate the idea of both sidewalks and speed bumps in the area. tion design was recently completed.

Brighton – The new Stalwood Trail link is officially open – but not fully complete. Work will continue on the trail link in the new year, director of parks and recreation, Jim Millar reports. The official grand opening is slated for sometime next May. In the meantime, residents are invited to still enjoy a colourful autumn stroll. “It’s a really nice trail – it’s beautiful right now,” with the colours changing for the season, said Millar. Future plans include the additions of benches, trees for shade and interpretative signage in the spring of 2017. Additional funds have been budgeted for in the 2017 parks and recreation budget for these items, said Millar. The development of the new trail is just one part of Brighton’s visionary study for recreation, trails and green space within the municipality. The study, which contains reports on trails and ideas surrounding green spaces and other areas within the municipality, was completed back in 2010 and is an ongoing initiative, explained Millar. “We’ll be working on more links in the future too,” added the director. Long-term, the goal is to improve quality of life for Brightonians with such projects. The trail link is currently accessible at the beginning of Ontario Street and on Monck Street and links with the Stalwood subdivision. Council awarded the tender for the new walking trail in July, to Drain Bros. Excavating Limited, of Norwood, for a total cost to the municipality of $48,792.08. Funds were previously set aside in the 2016 budget, for the development of the new trail link along Butler Creek. Work on the two-metre-wide aggregate trail began in late September and was completed in the first week of October. “Efforts were made to disturb as little of the surrounding natural vegetation as possible and to maintain the

Brighton’s Own:
Darlene Blanchet; a lady of integrity
By Vic Schukov
Brighton - Inside the first 47 years of her life, Oakville-born Darlene Blanchet garnered a degree in sociology at Queens University, and worked both as a clerk and a legal secretary. In 1971, living in Toronto, she married her soul-mate Frank. A nice normal life, so far. In 1996, Frank was offered a teacher’s position at a medium security prison in Grand Cache, Alberta. So the Blanchets moved to where Darlene would enter the school of life. “I had no job in Grand Cache,” says Darlene, “There was only the mine, the mill and the jail. Thank goodness I didn’t get the mine job.” She got a job as a clerk at the penitentiary. One day, her boss looked at her resume and asked why she was a clerk.
“He said, I should be a parole officer. I said I have no correctional experience. He said I had life experience, and I could learn. So I studied, took lots of tests, and got the job.” For the next 15 years, she assessed inmates’ eligibility for parole. She says, “I had to go with them to the hearings. The board speaks to you first and then questions the inmate, then back to me to ask if he said anything surprising. It takes years to be able to read people. I loved the challenge, and it was rewarding to see progress in people.” Darlene led a pilot project called Restorative Justice, the aim of which was to help offenders realize the consequences of their actions. A segregated unit of prisoners was formed and weekly meetings were held to discuss topics related to the ripple effect of crime. She also staged chapel gatherings open to the

general prison population. “The inmates talked about why they did what they did,” says Darlene. “They used to call my guys ‘The I’m Sorry Unit’ because they had remorse for their crimes.” For her devotion, Darlene was nominated for the Ron Wiebe Restorative Justice Award, which honours Canadians in the service of justice and peace. Darlene is a modest person, so husband Frank is quick to add, “She instilled pride in the inmates. They kept their unit clean and greeted you with a smile. I had hardened criminals say to me, ‘Frank, you better hang on to her. She’s great.’ She was often alone with 20 guys ranging from home invaders to murderers and rapists. There is danger the minute you step into a jail because anyone of them could go off. You have to be hyper-vigilant. When Darlene ran the unit after hours, she was vulnerable. What kept her safe was their faith in her and her example of believing in them. She treated them with respect, and they responded in kind. You need character to pull that off.” Darlene sums up her take-away: “It’s important to treat people with dignity if you expect them to reintegrate.” Through a colleague in England, she got to meet Terry Waite, the former assistant to the Archbishop of Canterbury, who travelled to Lebanon to try to negotiate the release of hostages held by the Islamic Jihad Organization. He was kidnapped Photo by Cheryl Lafferty and held captive from 1987 to 1991. Darlene says, “We spoke for hours. Brighton’s Own Darlene Blanchet His lack of resentment against his captors was remarkable.” After Frank retired in 2012, the Blanchets moved to Brighton. Darlene loves it here: “People are super friendly and you can be as active as you want, or not.” Heaven knows, she has earned some “quiet A pharmacy first time” in the park.

Brighton – Those with a heavy foot continue to cause concern within the municipality. And council is taking some action lately. Council has directed staff to prepare a bylaw to reduce the speed limit from 50 to 40 km per hour on Bayshore Road, from about 550 metres east of Lilac Lane (the Calf Pasture Bridge), to the end of Bayshore Road. Local property owners have been calling for action in recent months. Staff has received a number of calls and had discussions with local residents on Bayshore Road, regarding the request for a reduction in speed, said CAO Bill Watson. Staff agrees the reduction “isn’t an unreasonable request,” said Watson. Mayor Mark Walas said he attended a meeting in August with area residents, where he heard concerns regarding speeding in the area loud and clear, from upwards of 70 residents or so. Correspondence from local OPP confirms they too are in favour of the speed reduction, Staff plans to continue to monitor the area. Total costs for signage and labour will not exceed $1,000.

War of 1812 veterans honoured at Carrying Place
Carrying Place – A graveside plaque ceremony for four veterans of the War of 1812 was held to honour the local veterans at the Carrying Place Cemetery on Sunday Oct. 23. Volunteers from the Historic Military Establishment of Upper Canada, creators of the Graveside Project to honour veterans of 1812, worked with members of Trenton’s Trent Port Historical Society to honour local veterans Robert Charles Wilkins, Abraham Chase, William Jay and John Stoneburgh, all buried at Carrying Place. Lizanne Donnelly, descendant of veteran Captain Robert Wilkins, was able to attend the ceremony to honour her fifth great-grandfather. “I’m thrilled to be here,” she said. “I think it’s an honour, I feel that it will be our privilege to carry on the tradition in some way going forward, it’s lovely that there’s a recognition by so many distinguished people here today.” Around 30 community members including Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison and Deputy Mayor Jim Alyea attended the ceremony along with Lieutenant-Colonel Brent Hoddinott, from CFB 8 Wing Trenton, who congratulated the volunteers from the Historic Military Establishment of Upper Canada and the Trent Port Historical Society for working hard to honour local veterans. “With such deep roots in Canada’s military history narrative, it is right for the people of the Quinte region to celebrate these roots
through events such as today,” he said. “I believe these events serve the same purpose, brings communities together and increases the pride within the community because the region has played such a vital role in Canada’s military history.” The vital role that Carrying Place played during the War of 1812 is why Roger Litwiller, organizer with the Trent Port Historical Society, said it was important for them to start with the Carrying Place graveyard to honour veterans of 1812. “We know there’s probably about 10 veterans of the War of 1812 buried here in Carrying Place,” he said, but only the four could be confirmed. “The importance of the location was several thousand soldiers were moving through here everyday.” Litwiller said there was a garrison, fort and field hospital located in Carrying Place and up to 6,000 rations a day were being provided for troop movements from Carrying Place as it offered a protected water route from Upper to Lower Canada. The Trent Port Historical Society would like to work with the Graveside Project and honour veterans at one graveyard a year throughout the Quinte region, said Litwiller.

Brighton – About a dozen or so homes were evacuated in town early Wednesday morning after a gas-line was damaged during construction. In a press release issued on Wednesday, Oct. 19, CAO Bill Watson reported, around 7:20 a.m., the contractor working on a road construction project for the municipality, near Alice, Dundas and Young streets, “made contact with a gas main which caused a gas leak,” in the area of Young and Dundas streets. As a result, a number of residences were temporarily evacuated as a precaution, in an effort to secure the area and to ensure public safety. Traffic was also restricted in the area. Residents were cleared to return to their homes a few hours later. “Mostly everyone had gone to work,” said Watson. No injuries were reported. Watson said everyone worked really well together, to take immediate action and get the situation under control and make the area safe until repairs PATIO DOORS

Gala will raise funds for pilot conservation project at lighthouse
Brighton – The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society will hold its third gala Nov. 4 at the King Edward Community Centre to raise money for the pilot conservation project it has planned. The organization hopes to net $15,000 for the project, which will take place early next year, provided sufficient funds are secured and Ontario Parks gives its approval. The work must be done to finalize the bidding process for the third and final phase of the society’s restoration plans. New to the gala this year is that some of the items up for auction will be available for a preview and that hidden maximum bids can be made in advance if the person cannot attend the event. More details can be found at www.pplps.ca. Among the items up for grabs are a private airplane ride for four around the lake, a private box for 12 at an Ottawa Senators game along with $500 spending money, a bowling party for 36 at Presqu’ile Lanes, a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater autographed by Tyler Bozak, four quilts, and an 1880 Gothic-style framed window with a stained glass insert. To learn more about the gala call Dave Sharp at 613-475-5109 or email Dsharp@pplps.ca. The tickets are $60 each (a $40 charitable tax receipt will be provided) and are available for purchase at Presqu’ile Lanes and Lighthouse Wealth, both on Main Street, and Red Stone Clothing, Prince Edward Street plaza.

Changes at Brighton library highlighted at open house By John Campbell
An Active Lifestyle Community
Brighton – Brighton Public Library held an open house Oct. 22 to get the word out about its services and to give the community an opportunity to meet staff. “We’ve had some changes,” library board chair Bob Burke said, one of them being assistant librarian Heather Ratz taking over recently as acting CEO, after Mellissa D’Onofrio-Jones went on maternity leave. The open house, held the last day of Ontario Public Library Week,

also afforded staff the opportunity to talk with patrons “and find out what they really want and what they really need,” Burke said. “We try to meet those needs as best we can.” Ratz said Brighton has a new integrated library system that allows users to place “on hold” the latest books coming in, which is “a huge thing.” The library has also made its website “more user friendly” and it’s making greater use of social media to connect with people “more often in more ways,” she said. With all the changes that have taken place, “we’re able to do things more efficiently and ... in a better way,” Ratz said. The need for the library to have larger quarters remains a top priority and the municipality has hired an architect to come up with something for council to consider. “They’re doing their best to accommodate the library,” Burke said. “My hope is that we would get something into budget to start next year and open sometime early 2018.”

Deputy mayor asks for contract reviews as work begins on 2017 budget By John Campbell
Cramahe Township – With staff set to begin work on next year’s municipal budget in November, “the hope is to have a more efficient, timely, and cost effective budget for 2017,” says treasurer Nicole Leach-Bihun. She had marked Dec. 6 on the budget schedule as the day council would be asked for its input on issues and what it would like to see included but Deputy Mayor Sandra Arthur wasn’t going to wait until then. “We need to review some of the contracts ... that haven’t been reviewed in a number of years,” such as the township’s insurance, “to make sure that we are getting the best bang for our dollar,” she told council Oct. 18. Citing steadily rising costs in premiums, Arthur said she knows of one broker who is interested in bidding and to prepare a quote could take six to eight weeks to review the municipality’s records. “We need to see that our due diligence has
been done,” she said, and the same scrutiny needs to be applied to any long-term contracts with consultants. “So that when it comes budget time we can say that we stepped up a notch,” she said, and made sure “we’re doing the best we can.” A full consolidated budget will be presented to council at its first meeting in January, with a full review to follow a month later that will last a day, Leach-Bihun said. A third meeting is scheduled for March, after changes have been made to the budget to reflect previous discussions, and the final budget presentation for approval will take place in mid-March – a month earlier than the passing of this year’s budget. Mayor Marc Coombs said at the time the 2017 budget process would “go a lot smoother” than was the case in 2016 which had been “a trying time” for both staff and council, in the absence of a treasurer before Leach-Bihun was hired earlier this year

More quotes requested to rehabilitate township aggregate pit By John Campbell
Cramahe Township – Council rejected a staff recommendation that it hire a local contractor to rehabilitate the east side of its Little Lake aggregate pit at a cost of $38,000. “Single sourcing is a problem,” Deputy Mayor Sandra Arthur said in arguing against CAO Craig Brooks’ recommendation to council Oct. 18. For any amount over $25,000, “it’s a no-no.” Acknowledging “there’s an urgency” to get the work done, she suggested three quotes could be obtained in time to have the work done by Dec. 31. Brooks had noted in his report that a site inspection carried out by the Ministry of Natural Resources in the fall of 2015 had resulted in “several corrective actions” being carried out at the 22,000-square foot pit, leaving “rehabilitative work on the east extraction point” as the lone remaining measure. The initial deadline had been set at Sept. 30 but an extension was granted to have the work completed before the end of the year. “Hopefully, we’re not rolling the dice in terms
of compliance,” he told council, pointing out the township will need use of the pit “heading into winter.” Councillor Ed van Egmond, who seconded Arthur’s motion which council subsequently passed, said he began “pushing” last May for the work to be done, before Brooks was hired as CAO. “It’s not on current staff but it should have been acted upon a lot earlier,” he said. Now “we are here trying to do something quickly when really it isn’t within the scope of staff to do it that way,” van Egmond said. The work is “just for aesthetics” to make the pit look as “natural as possible.” The corrective measures included repairs to broken fencing, the removal of material not licensed to be there, adding signage to the gate, and the laying of asphalt in one spot. Brooks said the hill on the east side is close to the property line and its condition is “precarious.” Getting the steep slope right is “a pretty involved process,” he said. The pit has “become a haven for kids on fourwheelers” and that’s a problem, van Egmond said. “It’s a liability.”

Emotions run high at Business Achievement Awards By Stephen Petrick
Wellington – There was a standing ovation, tears of sorrow, and dozens of uplifting moments to relish Quinte as a growing region for business. The 2016 Quinte Business Achievement Awards had a bit of everything and it left the hundreds who had packed Highline Hall at the Essroc Centre last Friday night with plenty of reasons to believe the region will always be economically strong. The Business Person of the Year Award went to philanthropist Ed Lehtinen, the long-time owner of Belleville-based business Impacto Protective Products. After nearly 50 years living in Belleville, Lehtinen and his wife Fran have contributed to dozens of charities and community projects – a fact not lost on the audience, which gave Lehtinen a standing ovation, as he walked slowly to the podium, with help from a cane, which he said he’s using as a result of a recent hip replacement. In a touching address, Lehtinen acknowledged that it’s not easy to run a business. “It’s been a rough ride for 30 year, but that’s how it is,” he said, with heads in the audience nodding in agreement. “Thank you for this award,” he continued. “We really appreciate it.” Minutes later, a respectful hush fell over the room as Sam Osborne accepted the Business Excellence Award for his business Fireplace Specialities. Sam’s father and business mentor, Al Osborne, had died one night earlier at age 68. An emotional Sam, spoke about how his father always took pride in creating products and visions for customers’ homes. “It’s about creating something they can be proud of and something we can (From left) Megan, Ben and Sam Osborne accepted the Business Excellence Award for Fireplace Specialties be proud of,” he said. on behalf of their father Al Osborne at the 2016 Quinte Business Achievement Awards on Friday. Al died one Earlier in the night, another of Al’s night earlier. Stephen Petrick/Metroland sons, Ben Osborne, was handed the
Regulated Professional Business of the Year award for his new business, The Belleville Integrated Health Centre. His business partner, Matt Wong, accepted the award with him and asked the audience to raise a glass for Al, a gesture that led Ben to break down in tears. In total 14 awards were presented during the evening. The other award winners are as follows: Agribusiness of the Year: Ramirez Vineyard Services Hospitality/Tourism Business of the Year: Cottage Advisors of Canada Manufacturing/Industrial Business of the Year: Research Casting International Young Entrepreneur of the Year: Jenna Empey New Business of the Year: Furball’s Choice Not For Profit of the Year: Canadian Mental Health Association, Hastings Prince Edward Retail Business of the Year: Sunflower Health Shop & Services Trade & Construction Business of the Year: Wentworth Landscapes Specialized Service Business of the Year: WhistleStop Productions Sustainability Award: Astoria Organic Matters Canada LP Trailblazer of the Year: TruckRight The Quinte Business Achievement Awards have now taken place for 20 years. Each year members of the business community are encouraged to nominate candidates. “The Business Achievement Awards committee worked hard over the past several months to encourage all businesses that were nominated to fill out their questionnaires,” said Jacqui Burley, committee chair. “We had 126 companies complete the nomination process, showcasing the great diversity and strength Quinte businesses have; we are proud of all the nominees.”

Water warnings from Maude Barlow underlined by local and national events By Terry McNamee
Belleville—Water rights activist and Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow told people gathered at Eastminster United Church in Belleville recently, that the decreasing amount of fresh water is reaching a crisis level — not just in arid or Third World countries, but right here in Canada. “Everything that’s happening to water around the world is happening here,” Barlow said. “The demand for water in the world is going straight up, and the supply is going straight down.” The truth of that message was reinforced the very next morning, when Stirling-Rawdon Township’s Environmental Committee passed a bylaw mandating that all residents of the township reduce their water usage by 50 per cent because the Township’s wells are perilously close to running dry for the first time ever.
Barlow, who was speaking at the invitation of the Quinte Branch of the United Nations Association in Canada, said the water crisis has resulted from many factors: global warming, water being poisoned by the overuse of pesticides and herbicides and the dumping of dangerous chemicals on land, a lack of regulation for how freshwater resources are managed and the selling of fresh water for pennies a litre to large corporations. She said Canada’s ground water has not been mapped, and the longterm effects of allowing corporations to remove large quantities of ground water is unknown. In some areas, it is becoming a serious issue: Nestlé, which sells bottled water, recently outbid a small municipality near Guelph ON for a well the town will need in future for its drinking water. While exporting Canada’s water is becoming a hot topic, so is the use of water for extracting other resources, such as oil and natural gas. “For every unit of oil they (companies) extract, they use two to five units of water, and then (the water) is poisoned by the chemicals they use,” she said. She said oil
pipelines are not dangerous because of the oil itself, but because of all the chemicals needed to thin it enough to flow through the pipes — and those pipes go under rivers and lakes and over aquifers. If there is a spill, those chemicals pollute sources of drinking water. The issue of pipelines going under water sources has become a big issue in North Dakota this fall, with First Nations protesting the planned Dakota Access Pipeline. It’s also a major issue in Winnipeg, where Geoff Patton, a consultant hired by the city, identified major risks associated with the Energy East pipeline that is planned to cross over the Shoal Lake aqueduct, which is the sole source of drinking water for Winnipeg. Most shocking is the effect of chemical poisoning of large water sources. “Lake Winnipeg has been named the most endangered lake in the world,” Barlow said, adding that some scientists consider it to be dead. As with many other dead and dying lakes, blue-green algae is the culprit. This microscopic organism gathers in huge blooms when there phosphorus and other nutrients are carried into lakes by runoff from farms and stormwater outlets, and these blooms produce toxins that harm humans and animals. Barlow said extraction in the Alberta oil sands creates large ponds of toxic waste water that are now

Christmas at PRESQU’ILE ARTS and CRAFTS SHOW
Maude Barlow (centre), national chairperson of the Council of Canadians, was the guest speaker at the Monday, Oct. 3, meeting of the Quinte Branch of the United Nations Association in Canada.

leaching into the ground. She said that fracking — a method where water is pumped into pipes deep in the bedrock to force natural gas out — uses huge amounts of water, pollutes existing ground water and has been causing earthquakes in areas not prone to them. Aside from pollution rendering fresh water unusable, another factor is actual water loss. Some is due to global warming. Some is due to water being removed
for residential, commercial and industrial use. “Lakes in Canada are warming faster than anywhere else, especially the Great Lakes,” Barlow said. And, she said, if the ground water beneath the Great Lakes continues to be pumped out at current rates, the lakes “could be bone dry in 80 years.” She said government must take actin to protect Canada’s supply of fresh water before it is too late. “It’s time to abandon our erroneous belief that we have lots of water,” Barlow said. “We need a strong plan of action. “You can’t put water second.”

TRAVEL
Ghost town of St. Deroin is a Halloween destination
Now that Halloween is approaching once again, I thought that this would be a good time to do a travel piece about a ghost town that I’ve visited. St. Deroin, Nebraska, was formally charted in 1854 and became one of a chain of small trading settlements and supply posts located along the Missouri River. In its heyday, this town reached a population of about 300, and included 2 doctors and about 20 businesses. However, it primarily depended upon steamboat commerce for its growth and well-being, so when the ever-shifting river channel altered its course and abandoned this little settlement, the town seemed doomed. Flooding and a cholera epidemic hadn’t helped the town’s survival either, and it was virtually abandoned by the 1920s. All that remains now are a cemetery, a restored schoolhouse and general store, and several depressions in the landscape where buildings once stood. I checked out this Nebraskan destination for myself, for it’s now a part of Indian Cave State Historical Park, and I discovered that there’s even a Canadian connection to this ghost town. The founder of St. Deroin was Joseph Deroin, and his father was a French Canadian fur trader who married an Otoe woman. This fur trader’s name was Amable De Rouins, and the last name became anglicized to Deroin. His son, Joseph, eventually claimed land made available by the Treaty of Prairie du Chien, which set aside specific land for half-breeds, and he laid out the village that bears his name. It’s believed that the “Saint” was added later, to perhaps make it seem to be a ‘special place’, hopefully attracting more settlers there. The original town was built next to the bank of the river, below the bluffs, but much of it was eventually washed away by flooding. The school was dismantled and rebuilt high up on a hill, and it’s still there to this day. I was able to inspect its restored interior and also visit the nearby St. Deroin General Store, featuring an 1879 broom-making machine, where I spotted an intriguing sign that advised customers who were smokers and chewers to “Please Spit on each other and NOT on the STOVE or FLOOR”. While in Indian Cave State Park, I was also able to visit a rebuilt log cabin, located near the original townsite, and witness candle-dipping and the making of lye soap. I even bought a cake of “Granny’s Lye Soap” to bring home, for it’s said to be a kind of cure-all. It’s
supposedly great for removing grass stains from clothes, fighting dandruff, easing poison ivy, and relieving sunburn. It’s also said to be useful for relieving “itching from chiggers, mosquitoes, ticks, or any other bugs”, as fish bait, and “for dirty-mouthed kids”. What a product! While in Indian Cave State Park, I also wanted to see the actual Indian Cave itself, for it dates back several thousand years, and its walls are etched with ancient petroglyphs. As I ascended the steep, long staircase, I eventually arrived at the cave walls and etchings, but I found the specific name of this state park to be a bit of a misnomer, for I wasn’t able to enter an actual cave. However, I was able to see some of the ancient depictions of wildlife on the exterior walls of the sandstone cavity, and I discovered that other writings and sketches have been defaced or obscured over the years. I learned that Indian Cave State Park offers year-round camping, including a horse camp with hitching posts, corrals, and 20 km. of designated equestrian trails. Hikers will find about 35 km. of footpaths here, and I just had to try at least one of these (Trail 7). Many of these hiking trails lead to the bluffs and, therefore, spectacular views of the Missouri River. Joseph Deroin is said to be buried in this park, in the ghost town’s cemetery, and astride his horse! He was a rather controversial character, and he was killed while stubbornly trying to collect $6.00 from a settler for an assumed debt involving a pig. The settler, James Biddow, denied any wrongdoing and warned Joseph to stay off his land. When Joseph failed to heed this warning, he was shot and killed and buried. Another interesting anecdote involving a ‘resident’ of this ghost town’s cemetery tells of A.J. Ritter, who lost his arm during a dynamite blasting.
When Ritter died, at a later date, he certain nights, Ritter still rises from of the Missouri River, just south of was buried in this cemetery, but his his grave to search for his lost arm!

New agency aids mental health By Jack Evans
More awareness of mental health and addictions leads to more referrals for the newly-formed Addictions and Mental Health Agency, says CEO Garry Laws. Near the end of its first full year as a joint agency to deal with both problems, Laws reports, “All programs are running well however, with a solid line of waiting lists.” Laws has around 30 years of experience as a chef executive officer, most of them in the mental health field. And yes, he affirms, addictions and mental health are closely related areas and fit together well. An agency funded by the SELHIN, their office is located in the complex at the corner of Applewood and Dundas Street West, but for immediate assistance, anyone needing help can telephone 310 OPEN, a line that goes directly to Quinte Health Care, which also plays a key role with the new agency. “Even with waiting lists, if someone calls with an addictions problem, we try to give them immediate counselling,” he said. As CEO of the former Peer Support Mental Health program, “I was involved in the three years of studies and consultations that led up to forming this organization,” he said. He also reminded that waiting lists
for such services are common across Ontario with no unusual numbers in the Quinte area except the calls for services are increasing. With funding from the LHIN the agency has recently hired four new psychotherapists. There are other services that require funding, “we could use more,” he added. That brings the staff of the new Hastings and Prince Edward Addictions and Mental Health Agency up to “around 80,” he noted. It is one of three similar organizations in the southeast LHIN that will all be under one regional back office administration. A special challenge for the Quinte area is the huge rural and remote population, he said. There are also factors that tend to increase the local caseload, such as poor economy and job opportunities, substance abuse or despair. Suicide is a growing problem among young people and also those over 50, he reported. Again, such cases when they are referred or self-referred, are given priority status and immediate counselling. Their programs are working, he is confident. “We remove 20 cases off our list every month, but we get another 20,” he said. Mental health services have been available for decades, but the combining of Addictions and Mental Health is a recent development, “and it is a
perfect fit,” he said, “for the clients, for staff and for the community.” The grass roots development of the new agency has resulted in a new first-time contract in Ontario between a service provider like his agency and the local hospital. That contract is expected to be signed in the near future and take effect on April 1 of next year. Under it, the LHIN pays AMHS-HPE for the hospital services it provides, some 22 beds in the Belleville hospital complex, for instance. They are always full. But the agency has full control over how the funds are spent This results from, a long-standing partnership between the mental health services and the hospital for decades. Clients in all cases benefit from complete confidentiality. “I love my job and its challenges and I enjoy serving the community,” he concluded. For the hospital, Carol SmithRomeril, said almost a complete floor of the Sills wing (some 22 beds) is dedicated to mental health and addictions patients. The area requires extra security plus a specialized staff. It is an arrangement that works well and she expects it will continue to be so. She applauded the formation of the new agency, saying it was inspired by needs of people who needed help. “We listened to what they needed,” she added.””The consultations lasted several years.” She agreed that the loss of control over LHIN funding for

The Good Earth
It was a day Ray Bradbury would appreciate
welcome return of verdant swards after a far too long drought-induced dormancy. It was a day in which Gaia adorned herself in her finest raiment and invited us for a stroll. It was a day. This is the time that real gardeners step up. In spite of the challenging summer marked by the callus claims of compost piles, gardeners are always looking ahead with confidence and hope. Fall is the proper time for preparing for next year’s gardens and green swards. Dividing most perennials is a fall task as is planting bulbs. This is a perfect time for checking out garden centres, perhaps a bit too late to scour Well, Gentle Reader, we’re well the asphalt markets, for clearance into it. sales. This fall I focused on astilbes, There is no doubt that autumn ferns and composite flowers- mostly has arrived and the last of the summer wine has been enjoyed. This past Tuesday (at time of writing) was as perfect a fall day as one could for. In fact, I’m sure if that one particular day was put on a shelf and kept until the end of November, we would happily accept the chill in the rain, the bite in the wind as it switches to the north, and the starkness of our landscapes as winter’s onset strips them to the bones. It was a day only Ray Bradbury could perfectly express. He would tell you how the air tasted, how the blaze of the sugar maples outshone the sun: he would describe the soft caress of the last wisps of southern air, the

big, bright, yellow rudbeckias. If I hadn’t scooped up a host of sedum during the dog days of the drought I would likely have brought home a few of them as well. Some plants, such as ornamental grasses should be enjoyed as long as possible. You might want to consider tying them up to give their now brittle stems a bit of resistance against the wind. Once they are no longer pleasing to the eye, you can prune them back- always leaving a high stubble of 6” or more to catch crownprotecting snow With bulbs, I took a look at some of the smaller, daintier offerings like snow drops and Dutch iris, slipping them into little spaces and nooks that wouldn’t accept their larger cousins such as King Alfred type daffs. I’m
not quite ready to the naturalizing bit with the little chappies pock marking the lawns. Perhaps I’m a bit of a grass snob, thinking that meadows should be out in the wild with deer noshing on them However, I do know some folks- not mentioning Ben O’Brien’s name- who embrace this concept with abandon and create fantastically beautiful meadows. That is one of the wonder facets of gardening; there is room for as many different styles as there are gardeners. I’d like to insert a caveat in regards to bulbs (which includes corms, tubers, bare root lilies, etc.) When purchasing pay close attention to the quality of the bulbs, especially the prepackaged cones. I was very disappointed with the condition of many of the tulips especially which were
sold in such a “collection.” Far too many were soft and equally unacceptable number had mold on them. I was also startled after opening a bag clearly marked as having 12 bulbs and only seeing 6. What was most surprising was these bulbs were purchased at a very good garden centre and the supplying has an excellent reputation. Sadly, I am offering this advice to you because I neglected to do so and wish to save you the lesson. As I slowly, with creaking and protesting knees, stoop up after a morning of digging in those perennials and bulbs, I hopefully expressed the thought that most gardeners will have, “Won’t these look lovely in the spring?? And I said it with confidence. It was a day.

Bay of Quinte region named a StartUp community By Stephen Petrick
Belleville – The Bay of Quinte region is now known as a Start Up community; a prestigious designation that will allow local business leaders to promote the area as a business-friendly place and share resources with some of Canada’s most economically successful cities. Business leaders gathered at Belleville’s CHIRP (Canadian Hybrid Incubator Resource Platform) building on Tuesday, Oct. 11 to celebrate the designation, which was granted by StartUp Canada, a network launched in 2012 to foster entrepreneurship across the country. Bay of Quinte joins a list of 32 other Canadian cities that have been designated as “StartUp” communities by StartUp Canada. They include fellow Ontario cities of Kingston, Peterborough, Toronto and Waterloo, among others. Ryan Williams, the chair of the new group QuinteVation, said the designation will help draw entrepreneurs to the area to “start fantastic new companies. “StartUp Bay of Quinte will help us with programs and resources that connect entrepreneurs in the Bay of Quinte to others across Canada and will put this region on the map for entrepreneurs looking to make their
mark here,” he said. The designation will provide local business people with more opportunities to collaborate with businesses in other areas or give them access to new funding opportunities, Williams added. It also represents another positive step in efforts to build the “Bay of Quinte” brand, a point emphasized by Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis, who attended the celebration and, like Williams, wore a bright red “StartUp Bay of Quinte” t-shirt. Williams is the past president of Bay of Quinte Tourism, which represented a new effort by the municipalities that make up the Bay of Quinte area to join forces to promote the region for both business and tourism purposes. The new QuinteVation group has a similar ambition – to foster economic growth in the region – and to ensure the very words “Bay of Quinte” are recognized across Canada and draw the image of a successful community. “This area has so much to offer,” Ellis said. “It’s about community helping community.” At Tuesday’s celebration, Williams also introduced the crowd to Mary Doyle, the new executive director of QuinteVation. She said that the organization, which only formally launched in June, is starting to makes strides and
continues to hold business networking “We absolutely believe that building opportunities across Bay of Quinte a culture of entrepreneurship takes communities – she was preparing for consistent effort and wide participation one in Napanee later that day. over time,” she said. “Ultimately we
want to create a dynamic community where our children will have good paying jobs, a high quality of life and abundant opportunities.”

Medical officer of health wonders if it’s Flumist or flu miss? By Stephen Petrick
Belleville – A nasal spray flu vaccine product once recommended for children is now being downplayed in the medical community and Hastings-Prince Edward’s Medical Officer of Health says he’s not recommending it to families.
Dr. Richard Schabas spoke about the product called “Flumist” at the Hastings Prince Edward Public Health board meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 5. He clarified the product is called “Flumist” and not “flu-miss,” as some health professionals joke. That joke underscores new
flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.
beliefs that the product is not as effective as regular injection-based flu vaccines. The product has been used in the United States for more than a decade and interest in the product has grown because it’s intended to protect young children from the flu, without forcing them to take a painful needle. The product is promoted for children ages two to 17. Last year, the Public Health Agency of Canada recommended Flumist as the preferred flu vaccine product for children, Schabas said. But now a similar federal
agency in the United States, the U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, is saying the spray isn’t effective and the Canadian body has downgraded its endorsement of the product saying it’s not the “preferred” vaccine, but instead an equal to the injection-based vaccine. “Most of the information coming out has been negative results, which has tempered our enthusiasm for the vaccine,” said Schabas of Flumist. About 700 doses of the product was given to area children last year with help from the Hastings Prince Edward Health Unit, he said. This year, Schabas said, health unit clinics won’t distribute Flumist. However, the product is still available to family doctors and nurse practitioners who can distribute it, if they choose, to patients. However, Schabas said he
recently wrote a letter to distribute to local health care providers, informing them about the issue and letting them know his personal stance that children are better off receiving an injection-based flu vaccine. This year’s injection based flu vaccine is expected to be released soon to local family doctors, nurse practitioners and pharmacists. The health unit is expected to announce several flu shot clinics across the region in the coming weeks, too. Schabas never said that Flumist is harmful; he just said it’s not as effective as the regular vaccine “It’s certainly more convenient, but if it doesn’t work it defeats the purpose,” he told the board, adding that most healthy children are not at serious risk of complications from influenza. “If you’re going to do it, my advice is to use a vaccine that’s reliably effective.”

Regional conference Landowners continue to do will feature local food tour their bit to help improve quality of Bay of Quinte
Local food producers, processors and champions from across Eastern Ontario will be in the Quinte region this fall to attend the Eastern Ontario Local Food Conference. The conference will kick off with a tour of local food hotspots, including farms, factories, a winery and more. The Tuesday, Nov. 22 tour will visit Sprague Foods, Barn Owl Malt/Wild Card Brewing Co., Enright Cattle Company, Potter’s Settlement Winery and Donnandale Farms. Following the tour, conference attendees are invited to Town Place Suites for the Local Food Extravaganza tasting event. This evening event will showcase local foods and beverages from culinary regions across Eastern Ontario. The conference full agenda has been released and registration is open for the sixth annual conference hosted by the cities of Belleville and Quinte West, in partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. This year’s
conference theme, “Mission: Resilience”, explores the impact of climate change on the local food system, and the opportunities and challenges it creates. On Nov. 23 the conference program kicks off at the Maranatha Church with keynote speaker Sarah Elton, a Torontobased journalist and best-selling author. Her keynote will address the increased recognition and importance of building resilience into our local food systems. Ideas and innovation around the theme of ‘Resilience’ will continue throughout the morning with words of wisdom and inspiration from ten local food trailblazers. Following a delicious local food lunch, the afternoon will include nine sessions in three streams: Sustainability, Infrastructure and Business Support. Sustainability sessions will offer scientific information about growing conditions in the region and the challenges and opportunities those conditions present; OMAFRA’s senior
economist explains how local food systems are being affected, and producers and food businesses share how they have prepared to meet future challenges. Infrastructure sessions will look at food hubs, hear from farmers who have used infrastructure innovations to adapt to climate change, and municipalities will learn how agriculture presents an economic development opportunity. The business support sessions will share how producers and food businesses plan and structure for resilience, how a region has shone a spotlight on local food producers in the retail environment, and costing and pricing your product for profit. The conference draws more than 200 participants each year from a broad range of sectors and counties in Eastern Ontario and beyond. Online registration, exhibitor information, and a full copy of the program agenda are available at eastontlocalfood.ca.
The amount of nutrients (phosphorus) entering the Bay of Quinte, from both urban and rural sources, has always been a problem as it promotes excess algae growth and impairs water quality. Private landowners play a vital role in restoring water quality in the Bay, through the preservation and restoration of shorelines and wetlands. In 2016, the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan (BQRAP) provided funding to eleven landowners to implement environmental restoration projects. The projects included: 3 livestock fencings, 1 - alternate watering system, 3 - shoreline naturalizations and 6 - waterway plantings, for a total $38,000.00. “The projects were designed to reduce the amount of nutrients (phosphorus) entering the Bay of Quinte,” says Veronika Wright, BQRAP technician at Lower Trent Conservation. “Both livestock fencing and alternate watering systems benefit water quality by reducing stream bank erosion, thereby lowering sediment inputs and stopping bacterial and phosphorus contamination. Waterway planting and shoreline naturalization projects that add vegetation along a shoreline or wetland will provide habitat for fish and wildlife; as well as, act as filters for sediment and nutrient runoff (phosphorus) from
the adjacent land. The next round of funding for restoration projects will be the spring of 2017,” said Veronika Wright in a statement from BQRAP. The Healthy Soils Check-up Program provided 25 area farms with free soil testing to identify baseline nutrient levels, which will help farmers strategically use fertilizer and reduce phosphorus runoff. “As well, each farmer received field maps identifying key erosion sites helping them to adopt Best Management Practices (BMPs) aimed at keeping soil on the fields and out of local waterways. Fourteen area farms took advantage of the BQRAP grant for cover crops,” says Veronika.

New buyer says co-op better ‘fit’ for Stirling Creamery By Terry McNamee
Stirling—Stirling Creamery, a fixture in the village since 1925, has been sold to Gay-Lea Foods, an Ontario dairy co-operative based in Mississauga. The sale will take effect on Nov. 1. The sale, which was announced Tuesday, Oct. 18, returns the creamery to Canadian ownership after 10 years as part of the Michigan-based Butterball Farms. It had been sold by the founding West family to Butterball in 2006. The creamery employs about 25 people in Stirling and is known for its range of natural and flavoured butters, flavoured medallions and spreads. Speaking from the company’s head office in Mississauga, Gay Lea president and CAO Michael Barrett said Gay Lea is a core butter business, and the acquisition of Stirling Creamery adds something new with its specialty products. “Stirling has that innovation,” Barrett said. “We’re not moving jobs out. We’re not closing the plant down.” Gay Lea, which is one of the largest butter producers in Canada, also acquired Prince Edward County’s Black River Cheese this past May
and owns Ivanhoe Cheese in Madoc. “What we have created is our dairy hub in that part of the country,” Barrett said. “We are a co-operative owned by farmers, so it’s a very nice fit.” He said there is a strong move amongst consumers towards natural products, and butter is becoming increasingly popular. “Today, there’s a renaissance of home baking and the return back to the natural goodness,” he said, adding that the market for butter is expected to continue this growth. “Stirling Creamery, like our cooperative, has a strong and rich history in the province of Ontario,” Gay Lea Foods chair Steve Dolson stated in a press release. “With this acquisition, we continue the tradition of
supporting family farms in Ontario while further strengthening Gay Lea Foods’ presence in the Canadian dairy industry.” Stirling Creamery was founded by the West family, who actually started in the cheese business. Cheesemaker Annie Elevier won the gold medal for her cheese at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 and later taught her husband John West and their three sons the cheesemaking business. Their son, William, had cheesemaking operations in in Springbrook, Bonarlaw, and Stockdale. After marrying Elizabeth Tanner of Rawdon Township, he and his wife moved to Stirling, where William established the Stirling Creamery and began making butter. The original building was replaced with the current one in 1933.
William’s three sons worked at the creamery, and, in the 1980s, grandsons Bob and Dick West took over. Dick died in 2002, leaving Bob as the sole owner until he sold the business to Butterball four years later. Over its 90-year history, Stirling Creamery has continued its tradition of creating
all natural, barrel-churned butter one batch at a time. “We look forward to working with Gay Lea Foods as Stirling Creamery becomes part of this successful and growing Canadian co-operative,” stated Stirling Creamery CEO Mark Peters of Butterball Farms.
