Hockey, research benefit from Pink at the Rink BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – There was a distinctive pink glow at the King Edward Park Arena last Saturday, as Brighton’s best rocked pink everything, from the laces in their skates, to pink tape on their gear and uniforms. And it wasn’t just the kids who were sporting a new look recently, incoming teams got in on the pink action, as did parents, coaches, visitors and local dignitaries. A first-time event, ‘Pink at the Rink’ benefited both the Brighton District Minor Hockey Association (BDMHA) and the Canadian Cancer Society. “It’s been a while since we’ve had a fundraiser,” said BDMHA vice-president Mark Bateman. “What I really wanted to stress to the kids is, you have two hands – one for receiving and one for giving.” Attendees of the event got to watch “hockey at its best” and kids’ smiles as they came off the ice, while also helping to make the sport more affordable and contributing to breast cancer research. Proceeds from the fundraiser were shared between the organizations. “This is Canada’s game and it’s a fun game, but it’s also costly,” said Bateman. Some families can’t afford to put their kids in minor hockey, others can and some are just scraping by and could use a bit more help, he said. The hope is fundraising efforts will help make the sport more affordable for younger players currently in the game and also those wanting to join the sport. Enrolment all over for the sport is going down, the VP said. The costs associated with the sport are playing a big part in that, he said. But despite all that and the need for help and promoting hockey in a positive light, the Brighton hockey family wanted to also do something that involved helping others.

There has to be a balance between receiving and giving and that’s what Bateman wanted the event to showcase, by also inviting the society to participate and so the hockey community could support cancer research. Ensuring the kids have exposure to and take part in something that involves volunteer work and community partnerships is important, said Bateman. Promoting a sense of social responsibility at this age and getting these kids to think about these
things and helping others is key, otherwise in however many years, there won’t be people thinking this way or volunteers, he said. The VP was impressed to see even the incoming teams sporting pink gear, in addition to the Brighton Braves. The kids and others sported the colour pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For Bateman, it seemed like the perfect fit to try and raise funds and awareness for both the society and hockey considering the timing.
“Cancer’s been around for a while, it’s time to get rid of it,” he said. While funds raised in October go towards breast cancer research, cancer is something that affects just about everyone in one way or another, said Bateman, who’s also lost family to cancer. For many residents and Canadians at large, cancer certainly hit home in October, with the loss of both Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan and Tragically Hip’s Gord Downie. Continues on page 7...

Bird earns bronze at WorldSkills competition in Middle East
VIA Rail adds departures, stops at Trenton and Belleville
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton – Earning a bronze medal in mechatronics at the 44thWorldSkills Competition held in the United Arab Emirates “was probably the most stressful four days of my life in competition,” Avery Bird says. He “would have loved to have (finished in) first place but just to get up on the podium there was absolutely incredible ... It was a fantastic experience.” Bird, an East Northumberland Secondary School grad, and fellow Humber College alumnus Theo Willert were one of more than 40 teams taking part in the competition held in midOctober. The competition is similar to the Olympics in that individuals and teams represent their country in a variety of events, mechatronics being one. It’s the building of “automated systems for industry using mechanics, electronics, pneumatics, and computer technology,” WorldSkills explained on its website. “Mechatronics technicians design, build, maintain, and repair automated equipment, and program the equipment and systems which enable communication between machines and people. They also deal with equipment for information gathering, components and regulating units.” Bird and Willert took aim at qualifying at the WorldSkills event by entering numerous competitions over the past four years and their efforts bore fruit when they won gold at the provincial and national levels. The task they and their rivals faced at Abu Dhabi was to build, program and troubleshoot a smaller version of a fully automated production line. Adding to the difficulty was integrating a new piece of technology or equipment none of the teams had ever seen. “We were tasked with building a system as fast as possible,” Bird said. The experience honed their ability to optimize a system and problem solve, “which is a valuable skill to have in industry.” He and Willert were confident they had placed in the Top 10 when the competition ended but they had to wait a day before the results were announced. Hearing their names announced as bronze medalists was “pure bliss, even surprise,” he said. There were actually four teams that finished above them tied in points who received gold medals. “Because they gave out that many golds they skipped silver and then they gave the bronze to the next score level which was us (and another team),” Bird said. He is currently employed by Magna International through

Don’t let your Jack-O-Lanterns go to waste – put your pumpkin in your leaf and yard waste paper bag or backyard composter, so that it can be used again as fresh compost. Here are some tips: • Remove all candles & lights • Include cornstalks (often used as Fall decoration) • If using a backyard composter, speed up the decomposition process by cutting your pumpkin into smaller pieces. Remember that your leaf and yard waste collection day is not necessarily the same day as your garbage & recycling collection day. Always have your bags of Leaf and Yard Waste to the curb by 7AM on the Monday of your designated week. Check your 2017 Northumberland County Waste Calendar for details

OPINION
No reason for taking fish over spawning beds
Catalonia: The silent majority It’s been going on for a while. “Recently in Catalonia we have been living through a kind of ‘soft’ totalitarianism...the illusion of unanimity created by the fear of expressing dissent,” wrote best-selling Catalan author Javier Cercas in Gwynne Dyer the Spanish newspaper El Pais in 2014. Those who didn’t want independence kept their heads down and their mouths shut, in other words. Three years later, it has just got worse. Last July, leading Catalan film-maker Isabel Coixet told The Observer that “Madrid is deaf and mute and the government here (in Catalonia) is really happy about that. They never really look for dialogue at all.” She added that Catalans are afraid of speaking out “for fear of being called fascists.” That about sums it up. Opinion polls consistently show that a majority of the people who live in Catalonia want it to remain part of Spain. The latest, published in El Pais on Saturday, showed that 55 per cent of those polled opposed the declaration of independence in the Catalan parliament last week, with only 41 per cent in favour. That’s an even more decisive rejection of separation from Spain than a poll commissioned by the Catalan government and published just before the declaration of independence, which came out 49 per cent to 41 per cent in favour of remaining in Spain. Yet the news coverage was all about flag-waving nationalist crowds demanding independence, because the silent majority was staying low. Finally, on Sunday, a big pro-Spanish crowd came out in the streets of Barcelona: 300,000 people according to the police, more than a million according to the organizers. About the same size as the pro-independence crowds, therefore, but they left it rather late. The separatist strategy has worked well, and by now the fat is really in the fire. The separatists’ problem was this: no opinion poll has ever shown a majority for independence since the current upsurge in Catalan nationalism began about eight years ago. For the past few years the ‘yes ‘ vote has been stuck at around 40%. You can hardly declare independence for the region without a vote of some kind, so what do you do? A referendum is better than an election, because it’s a single-issue vote that will really get the faithful out. But how do you prevent
the more numerous skeptics from voting too? Well, the Spanish constitution is a great help there, because it says that a referendum on independence for any of Spain’s regions would be illegal. So if you hold one, maybe the true nationalists will vote despite the law, while the rest obey the law and stay away. They road-tested this model three years ago with an ‘advisory’ referendum that the Madrid government sort of tolerated (though it said it was illegal), and it worked just fine. Only 37 per cent of the population voted, but 80 per cent of those who did show up voted ‘yes’ to independence That’s the kind of number you could really use to justify declaring independence, even if it’s a bit of a cheat. If anybody complains, just shrug your shoulders, say you wish the turnout had been higher, and carry on doing what you want to do: declaring independence. And so it came to pass. The independence referendum on 1 October was the real thing, not ‘advisory’ at all. Rather late in the day Spanish Prime Minister Maria Rajoy realised that the independentistas intended to use the result as a justification for a declaration of independence, so he got a court judgement confirming that the referendum was illegal and sent the police in to shut it down. The Catalan nationalists had foreseen this, and welcomed it. Nothing could be better for the cause than images of Spanish police dragging women out of polling booths, and the uproar would keep even the hardiest ‘no’ voters away. The turn-out this time was a bit higher, at 43 per cent and so was the ‘yes’ vote: 90 per cent. Very gratifying. With that manipulated result in hand, the president of Catalonia’s regional government, nationalist leader Carles Puigdemont, declared independence last week. The Spanish central government immediately dissolved the regional parliament, removed Puigedemont and his cabinet from office, and announced a fresh regional election for 21 December. It’s all strictly in accord with Article 155 of the Spanish constitution, and Puigdemont probably foresaw this too. He has always been three moves ahead of Madrid. Meanwhile, Spains’s Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria now has the job of running Catalonia until the election, and she will probably have a very difficult time. Puigdemont is now officially a martyr in the eyes of his fellow separatists, and Spain says that he will be allowed to run in the December election, so he has lost nothing. Unless the silent majority find their voices, he may yet be the first president of the Catalan Republic.

Editorial by Chris Malette There he was, last week. Standing proudly with a rod and reel in one hand, a backpack across one shoulder and, draped over the other, a fishing stringer festooned with a pair of metrelong dripping salmon. Those battered specimens, missing chunks of skin and flesh, had presumably just come from the Moira River, nearby, where an ice control dam makes the area off what is commonly known as “Meyers’ Mill” a spawning ground for salmon that swim up the bay from deeper, colder environs in Lake Ontario this time each year. But, here was Goober, the hero home from the hunt with his prize possessions – two half-rotten salmon he was presumably bringing home for the table. Ugh. If the poor schmuck had a wife or partner, let’s hope he was told to return the smelling, rotting specimens to where they belonged – back in the river. There are some large specimens moving into area waterways to spawn and, if you’re simply watching, it’s impressive to see the size of some of the larger fish, usually the Chinooks or King salmon Coho salmon, the Chinook’s smaller cousin, are moving into rivers and tributaries to spawn, as well. Here’s what the MNR has to say about them when they move inland to spawn: “…usually stop feeding once they move upstream in fall, but are aggressive and territorial and will hit lures in defence....” But, many prefer a nastier way to catch a fish. Under Ontario’s fishing regulations it is illegal in any waterway to: “Catch a fish by impaling or snagging it with a hook through any part of the body other than the mouth – any fish hooked in this way must be released immediately. • Take fish by any means other than angling, spear, bow and arrow, net or bait fish trap. But, it’s not unusual to see people mostly snagging, with gang-hooks, known as a snagger. Last week, we asked MNR’s enforcement people about the use of such devices. “Under the Ontario Fishery Regulations a hook altered this way – with a lead weight (in an illustration provided by the officer who responded) – would be called a “snagger,” said the ministry’s Jolanta Kowalski. “It is unlawful to possess a snagger within 30m of the water’s edge or to use a snagger to fish.”)

Many who have read to this point will recall having seen, at some point over the past several years, either news stories or have watched firsthand as native spear fishers have waded into the Moira or other rivers in the region to spear spawning pickerel in spring. When this practice first occurred with any great public regularity – in urban areas, at least – it was met with some pretty nasty blowback. White anglers, the vocally curious or those simply wanting to stir it up would line the river banks on the nights when the spear fishing was going on, taunting the mostly Mohawk men in the water with all manner of cat calls and threats. The practice of taking pickerel in this manner is wrong, plain and simple, as the spear fishers often target the spawning sows (bigger fish that are easier to hit with a not-too-precise spear lunge in rushing spring rivers, fatter fillets from the largest of the fish in the river, etc.) and we have seen far too much evidence that these fish aren’t winding up on tables of the elders or for private consumption – although there is indeed plenty of that – but that the majority become part of the commercial food chain in the form of truckloads of filleted fish from the largest of the lot heading west or east down the 401 to restaurant back doors in Toronto or Montreal. In some cases, as with the mouth of the Moira, Trent, Ganny and others in spring, these spawning grounds are sanctuaries. (It’s not a sanctuary, it should be noted, where the anglers and fly fisher-fellas in Belleville have been taking their salmon this fall.) It happens that the ministry will go after someone fishing in a sanctuary – anyone who will not, it should be said, claim to be Aboriginal and fishing for ceremonial or by-rights reasons, the aforementioned spear-fishing aficionados. In a perfect world, no one would be catching spawning fish in any river – once they have moved into the river or creek and are over their spawning grounds for many reasons, most having to do with protecting the breeds of fish that are doing so. But, to drag home the half-rotten corpse of a reeking salmon that just weeks ago would have been magnificent table fare is just plain boneheaded. Have you seen or are you wary about someone fishing illegally? You can turn the bums in. Here’s how: Natural resources violations can be reported to the MNRF TIPS line at 1-877847-7667 toll-free any time or local ministry offices during regular business hours.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Other letters like this one, perhaps? Dear Editor, I was wondering why we have to be subjected to Dave Cutler week after week in the letters to the editor section in the newspaper. It is quite annoying to have to see his negative and one-sided opinions all the time. I believe if the town of Brighton wanted to be subjected to his rants over and over again he would have been voted into the Brighton council
or Mayor’s office, but he wasn’t. Does the newspaper give him preferred treatment and that is why he is printed all the time? Surely there are other letters that can go into print and if there isn’t, leave the space blank! It would definitely be an improvement to Dave Cutler’s letters. Thank you for your time. Deborah

Brighton hopes grant will help bring ‘big-name artists’ for Applefest 2018 BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Work is already underway for next year’s Applefest and the hope is some bigname artists may return for the 2018 event. During the event’s 40th anniversary in 2014, a concert featuring the Kim Mitchell Band and April Wine was made possible through a partnership between the Applefest anniversary subcommittee and a local promoter, who provided guidance for the concert, helped book the acts and organized the event area. Residents have now heard the Applefest committee and municipal staff would like to see a concert of this magnitude return to Brighton next year. “After meeting with the chair for Applefest, we wish to apply for this grant for enhancements to next year’s Applefest weekend,” Jim Millar, director of parks and recreation for Brighton recently told council. Millar appeared before council to ask for its endorsement to apply for a Celebrate Ontario grant, which — if secured — will make an outdoor concert similar to that of three years ago happen. “ … I think it [the 2014 concert] was very successful,” said Millar. “There has been a groundswell of requests for another outdoors concert to take place again, utilizing the upper ball diamond at King Edward Park.”
Thousands of tickets were sold for the 2014 concert and after all expenses paid out and all revenues collected, a profit was realized, reports Millar. The concert was “comfortably in the black” and absolutely no municipal monies were spent, he said. Using the 2014 concert as a guide, Millar doesn’t anticipate that would change, if Brighton were to secure the grant. “We will be applying for grant funds to help cover the costs of getting a larger act, which can achieve the amount of ticket sales and bring in the amount of revenue to cover all of our costs,” said Millar. If there are costs for the municipality, that information would be forwarded to the 2018 Applefest committee budget for council’s decision and approval at that time. If the application for the grant were successful, the Applefest chair and Millar would begin work right away with the local promoter once again, to put together the outdoor concert and artist lineup. Council has unanimously endorsed staff ’s proposal to pursue funding for the event. “I wish to stress that if we do not receive the funding from the Celebrate Ontario 2018 funding stream, there will be no concert,” said Millar.

and dropped the game puck in the afternoon. Wartman took time at the event to talk to women about the importance of mammograms and shared items like the ‘thing-ama-boob.’ It’s a string of balls, which illustrates average lump sizes that can be found by regular mammograms, a first-time mammogram, and physical exams or by self-examination. The illustration is meant to give people a visual and better understanding of the importance of routine mammograms and how they can detect smaller lumps earlier on. By detecting breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable, this save lives, explains Wartman.
The big focus last Saturday was on breast cancer, but understanding that cancer has affected so many and in so many ways, Simone Wartman set up more than one information booth outside the rink. Wartman, a display and presentation co-ordinator for the cancer awareness prevention information team, wanted to ensure people had access to all types of information, in addition to the big push for increasing awareness surrounding breast cancer.

Northumberland County council remembers Hector BY KAREN LONGWELL
Northumberland — Northumberland County council took time to remember Trent Hills Mayor Hector MacMillan in the first meeting following his death. The Oct. 18 county council meeting started with words and remembrances of the Trent Hills mayor, who died on Oct. 10 of pneumonia after battling pancreatic cancer. Warden Mark Walas said MacMillan had a significant impact on his community, serving for 14 years. He had an unwavering commitment to the community, said Walas.
He believed in standing up for what was right, even if it was unpopular, Walas added. “He was larger than life.” Speaking for councillors and staff, Walas said MacMillan will be greatly missed. A short video was shown to highlight MacMillan’s dedication to public service, including working as an advocate for first responders and a great supporter of municipal staff. Many will remember MacMillan’s “Give ‘em Hec style.” The video was followed by a moment of silence to honour MacMillan.

Brighton – Dan Buchanan, The History Guy, has assumed a new persona, The Looking for Farm Photos Fella, for his next project. He’s in need of pictures for the Rural Roots Show he has planned for the sixth annual Brighton History Week next February. The focus will be on farming in the Brighton area, “from clearing the land to the modern computerized farm,” or to put it another way, “from axe to smartphone.” In researching the subject, Buchanan discovered “a good deal of the information (he) might use is not going to come from history books, it’s just not out there,” he said. “It will come from the people.” Buchanan has been going around to various groups, including council, “shaking the bushes,” letting it be known that residents “should scrounge through their pictures and see if there is anything about farming that might be interesting to use.” He also wants to talk to farm folks about “how the family coped with change over the years,” such as technology that transformed agriculture. Of all the History Week events he has helped organize, “this is the topic that is closest to me personally because I grew up on a farm in Codrington,” Buchanan said.
This photo of a barn bee that took place circa 1900 at the end of the Old Wooler Road on County Road 30 was provided by Cyril Peister. Photo submitted.
The two shows will take place at the King Edward Park Community Park Centre Feb. 24, from 7 to 9 p.m., and Feb. 25, from 2 to 4 p.m. R and R will perform, and guest speakers will tell their stories. Admission is free. There will also be a Rural Roots Open House March 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Women’s Institutes in the area will provide a heritage tea. Donations would be
appreciated. Susan Brose, another local historian, is looking after the open house. Brighton History Week is presented by volunteers, under the auspices of the Brighton Heritage Advisory Committee. You can contact Buchanan by email, danbuchanan@cogeco.ca, or by phone, 613-439-8992.

Police board wonders about impact of pot grow facilities BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton – As the country prepares for the legalization of marijuana for recreational use next summer, there is growing concern what that could mean for communities. Brighton Police Services Board thinks the issue is serious enough it has asked that an OPP officer make a presentation to council on the “implications” of the new law when it takes effect. “Knowledge is power and if we don’t understand what’s happening we’re going to have trouble with our kids,” Brighton Councillor Roger McMurray said in making the motion at the board’s Oct. 28 meeting. “There are a lot of people that have young kids and they need to know this information,” he said. OPP Detective-Sergeant Rick Dupuis will be asked to make the same presen-
tation that he delivered to the Ontario Association of Police Service Boards. “He can certainly speak to the challenges we’re having currently and how potential issues may arise,” detachment commander Inspector Lisa Darling told the board. In the agenda was a report on two occasions in which a medical marijuana grow operation on Boes Road was broken into within a week. In the first break-in, the buds on 87 plants were trimmed and removed. Five days later, there was another another break-in but this time three males were found inside by the two marijuana growers who had notified police. All three fled before police arrived but not before one of the intruders “was struck with a shovel by one of the complainants.” A search was conducted but no one

Northumberland County considers tax policy review BY KAREN LONGWELL
multi-residential — pay in taxes, are core to the changes the county needs to consider, said Frise. As the county currently has a small industrial tax base, now is a good time to drop the tax ratio as it won’t have much impact on the total tax revenue, said Frise. Northumberland’s industrial tax ratio is higher than other communities, so the county could consider lowering the rate as an incentive to bring new industry, he added. “Think about what you want to accomplish,” he said. Multi-residential tax ratios are going to need attention because of new provincial government policy changes. Frise said the county should think about lower multi-residential rates to get ahead of the changes coming. Glenn Dees, Director of Finance and Treasurer for Northumberland County, said there will be staff recommendations on the tax policy coming for council to consider. Staff is waiting for details on pending changes from the Ministry of Finance and final as-
Northumberland – A recent review of Northumberland County’s tax policy explored tax incentives for industry and changes to multi-residential taxation. The review — available at http:// www.northumberlandcounty.ca/TaxPolicyReview/ — was presented at Northumberland County Council on Oct. 18. As homes are built and factories close, Northumberland’s property tax base continues to change, said Peter R. Frise, vice-president of corporate and client services for Municipal Tax Equity (MTE) Consultants Inc., during the presentation. Frise compared Northumberland’s tax policies to other Ontario communities and noted the county was due for a review of policies. “The county hasn’t changed tax policies in over a decade.” How the tax ratio is calculated, or the amount different classes — industrial, residential, farm, managed forest, commercial, landfill pipeline and sessment roll numbers.

Colborne Rotary doing its part to help eradicate polio BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Cramahe Township – The Rotary Club of Colborne is doing its part to eradicate polio around the world. How well that program is succeeding was outlined in a recent presentation to council by a member of the local service club, Jay Robinson. “Globally we are now down to just about nil – 11 cases,” he said, in Afghanistan and Pakistan. There were 350,000 cases in 125 countries when Rotary International and the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988. By 2012 the number of polio-endemic countries had been reduced to three – Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan – as a result of a massive immunization program to prevent the spread of the highly infectious disease which attacks the nervous system and affects mostly children under the age of five. In some instances it leads to paralysis. More than 2.6 billion children worldwide have received the vaccine that Rotary and its partners, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, have made available. As a small club among the 35,000 clubs around the world that make up Rotary, “we
try and do our part,” Robinson said, such as drawing attention to the End Polio Now campaign by flying a Rotary flag every October at the municipality to mark World Polio Day, as is done across Canada. “We know we have survivors of polio in our community,” Shirley Ross, another Rotary member, told council. Robinson pointed out that polio remains a threat as long as it still exists somewhere in the world. “Eleven cases could be 200 cases tomorrow,” he said. “When an outbreak happens, it’s highly contagious.” Mayor Marc Coombs took the opportunity to thank Colborne Rotary for its donation of $5,000 to the municipality for use at the Keeler Centre. Half was to go to improving Rotary Hall facilities, and the other half to upgrading the Wi-Fi network at the centre to current consumer standards. The cost of the latter “is going to be substantial, in the rage of $20,000+ so our donation is nothing but a bit of seed money to help move along the project,” Robinson said in an email later. “The Rotary Club typically donates every three years to the Keeler Centre a ‘utility’ donation of $5,000.” It alternates between the Keeler Centre, Northumberland Hills Hospital, and community projects.

Whether running for their personal best and/or to raise money for the hospice, the enthusiasm and excitement was palpable, but there was also something special this year, a memorial to Dave Down of Brighton. The youngest runner in the fundraiser was Jaxon Down, three, Down’s grandson, who ran in memory of his late grandfather. “The race was always special for Dave,” his brother Richard told the crowd as he prepared to officially start the eight miler as a tribute to his brother who was killed in a traffic collision last July while operating a farm tractor. Richard had travelled from Beaconsfield, Quebec for the W8. “Support like this is wonderful to see,” he said. “Now Dave, when he ran, sometimes only training with his buddies, was always out for a personal best. So today when you are out, if you hear footsteps that are about a size 13 coming in behind you as you are going, I would expect that’s maybe the spirit of Dave urging you on for your personal best,” he added.

CCN looking to reach – and help – Brighton’s Own: Our new doctor, heaven sent local women BY VIC SCHUKOV

Peart. This may be something that’s beneficial for women who are currently alone and others, who aren’t and just enjoy the social component of the group, said the coordinator. For women who haven’t been in the area very long or who are newcomers to Brighton, the group may also help those people to connect with their new community and so they can make connections, said Peart. Through the group, women may also learn about what CCN does and has to offer in terms of programming and supports, but also about all things Brighton and what the community has to offer, report staff. Ultimately, it will be a safe space for local women to meet people in their community, said Peart. For more information about the group or to register for the Buzz, contact Heather Quinn at the Brighton CNN office by phone at 613-475-4190 or email h.quinn@ commcare.ca. The group will meet on the last Tuesday of the month from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., in the CCN activity room (46 Prince Edward St.). The cost will be $2 to attend, which will help offset costs for coffee and snacks. More information on the group and other social groups offered by CCN is available
Brighton — With a new social group, Community Care Northumberland is hoping to bring seniors together for both conversation and fellowship. “As we get older, we can get too isolated,” said Trish Baird, CCN executive director. “Laughter and connecting with friends is important, it keeps us young at heart.” On Oct. 17, CCN announced its launch of the new and interactive social group for local ladies. The group, which is known as ‘the Buzz,’ will offer women the chance to come together the last Tuesday of each month, starting Oct. 31. This is something that’s been in the works now for some time and CCN hasn’t had a ladies group in Brighton for a few years, but there’s a definite need for it, said Leiann Peart, program co-ordinator for CNN in Brighton and Colborne. CCN organizes both men and women’s social groups throughout Northumberland. This specific group will be a “casual coffee” type, designed to bring seniors together for companionship and to socialize, say staff. Occasionally, guest speakers or special trips may be organized as part of the group. Local men do have access to a social group through CCN currently and it’s time via www.commcare.ca . the ladies have their own space again, said
Dr. Svetlana Stryuts was born in Crimea to Russian parents (and ¼ Ukrainian.) When she was 14, her family moved to St. Petersburg, Russia where she eventually completed her six years of medical school and one year of internal medicine: “In medical school, we never talked about money. My Dad was so upset that I choose medicine because in Russia doctors make less than hair dressers.” At 25, she immigrated to Canada: “When I landed in Pearson Airport,” said Stryuts, “I was the happiest person in the world.” She lived in Toronto for the next three years, busying herself with a very challenging agenda: “An international graduate doctor has a one percent chance of achieving residency in Canada without having to repeat medical school here. I wrote an extensive number of (qualifying) exams and studied English intensively.” After acing her exams, Stryuts got full residency in family medicine at McMaster University in Hamilton. For the next five years, she worked in various hospitals, and privately in the Hamilton and Niagara Falls regions. Meanwhile, she got tons of offers to relocate as a family physician: “I could not make up my mind, and kept asking my colleagues what they thought, and one said to me, ‘How about Brighton?’ I was also looking for a smaller community because my happiest memories are of growing up in a small town of 3,000 people. I had a lot to think of, pros and cons, so I prayed for help in choosing. The next day I got a text message with a full offer from Brighton. When I visited the town, to take a look, I was welcomed by the mayor and some officials, all nice and really inviting, but what really moved me were regular people also welcoming me. It’s always nice when people advocate for themselves. I really appreciated that.” On April 10th of this year, Dr. Stryuts arrived in Brighton with her husband and two young boys Albert (4) and Eric (18 months.): “To get satisfaction in this profession requires the right set of patients and Brightonians make very nice patients because they look at the doctor as a committed relationship to both work on. Better for both of us, I can see progress. And each relationship is unique. I even feel the change when switching rooms (for the

next patient.) Doctors often do get emotionally involved, depending on the day. You try and stay centered but you are still human. I do feel for my patients, and I don’t feel that it’s right not to. And I enjoy interacting with older patients because they tell you stories and give you advice, it’s a lot of nice stuff.” Dr. Stryuts will tell you that, in her heart, medicine is her biggest passion in life, second only to her kids. She also loves the nature so immediately available around Brighton. At first, upon arriving here, she missed seeing a lot of the park because of the summer flooding. And despite her busy (and mounting) work schedule, she plans to get a bike and a kayak next year. When asked about her personal philosophy, the good doctor (sent to us literally from heaven), answered without hesitation: “To be truthful with people and myself. My goal is to be happy and I can only be that if I am honest with myself and others.” Welcome, Dr. Stryuts, to the Brighton Quinte West Health Team!

First-time health fair shines a light on local services BY SARAH HYATT
Codrington — Liana Palmer has long envisioned a forum that would bring local and regional health professionals and organizations together. On Sunday, Oct. 22, that forum happened as the first-time Codrington Health and Wellness Fair. Health professionals and groups from Peterborough, Belleville, Quinte West, Campbellford and Brighton rallied for the first-time event. “This is something I always had in the back of my mind that I wanted to do,” said Palmer, one-of-eight committee members who oversee the Codrington Farmers’ Market operations. To bring together these groups and have them conveniently all in one room, the idea is people will have the chance to learn more about the services available to them in their community, said Palmer. The first-time health fair ran in conjunction with the farmers market, similar to how the Artisans’ Market runs and inside the Codrington Community Centre, while
vendors sell their produce outside. About two-dozen groups were represented at the first-time event. To make her vision a reality, Palmer enlisted Fay Smith, manager of the diagnostic imaging department at Campbellford Memorial Hospital. Smith was key in helping to recruit groups for the health fair. Whether locally or within the region, too often people aren’t aware of the services that are available, said Smith, as she too had set up a booth representing the hospital Sunday. “There are lots of programs out there for people in the community and lots of services, people just need to know where and how to start looking,” said Smith. Even for the Campbellford hospital, Smith thought the fair provided a great opportunity to increase some awareness. With it also being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Smith took some time during the fair to talk to people about breast cancer and the importance of breast screening. Whether it’s how best to get in touch with a group or health organization or clar-
ification if a referral is needed, the health fair with its featured groups also aimed to answer some of these common questions people have, said Smith. Some of the groups represented at the fair ranged from the Alzheimer Society, to assisted living services and Rebound Child and Youth Services Northumberland. The Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network, as well as the hospital’s Diabetes and Health Heart Program were also featured at the fair. The Heart and Stroke Foundation from Campbellford provided free blood pressure checks. About midway through the event, Smith said it had been steady. And every little bit of exposure and every visit help, because those people who attended the fair and Sharon Brewster from the Hastings-Prince Edward Alzheimer Society got the questions they needed answered talks with Trenton resident Carol Mitchell during the first-time Coand the information they needed, they will drington Health and Wellness Fair. bring that back to the people they know, Sarah Hyatt/Metroland said Smith. There is the potential for the event Rotary Club of Brighton to return yearly.

Rotary Notes for October, 2017 As we head into the colder months of the year, we are once again, very proud of our “Coat For Kids” program. Last year, we helped over 50 local youth ensuring that they were provided new winter clothing. While most of the funds (over $5,000) came from our own fundraising programs, we did receive private donations specific for this cause and we would certainly welcome that again. So far, we have already received requests for 36 public school kids. In the past month, we also donated to the Brighton Public School breakfast program which feeds about 70-80 children most morning… some of these youth are in need and others are not but find it a comforting area as they prepare for the day ahead of them. And, next time you see the Quinte Access in town, you can feel good that our local Rotary Club supports this program with a recent donation.

Guest Speakers this month included a new Rotarian, Deborah Thomas who presented her “classification talk” by letting us know more about herself. We learned that she didn’t like high school, but university was what she really loved. She majored in Philosophy and enjoyed writing essays. Deborah has been a retail manager, a teacher and an administrator. She is very creative and this is important to her and so welcome Deborah as she assists us in giving back to the community
Another speaker was our own Rotarian Alan McIntosh – now retired from the Services and he presented some very key factors about being prepared for any and all Emergency. It was very evident that at the end of his talk, most Rotarians felt they are underprepared and so we ask you, the readers – “How Prepared Are You?” The object of emergency measures is to prevent / mitigate for the big disaster. Each one of us needs a plan. At home or in the car. Be prepared when traveling. Have a kit for at least 72 hours including food, water, and a heat source.

Did you know you can even help us raise funds by asking for a new craft beer known as ‘Local Lager’ at our local Beer Store. Therefore, sales of this lager (made in Wellington) will result in another revenue source for Brighton Rotary.
We also received a note from outbound exchange student Abigail McDougal who is in France and describes her first weeks in her new environment as being awesome. She even tried escargot, and to her delight, she loved it. She is finding school hours long and tedious but it helps
her learn many new things which is exactly what she likes. Finally, should you like to know more about Rotary, drop by during our regular Friday morning meetings (6:45-8:15am) at J.R. Restaurant (Hwy #401 & #30 – on Telephone Road – just up the hill

Brighton council updates: OMB appeals, integrity commissioner the municipality’s defence of the appeal. In May, Brighton was notified that a second decision of council’s concerning the Lakeside Landing subdivision had been appealed to the OMB. This time, however, it’s the proponent of the subdivision appealing council’s decision. “The proponent of Lakeside Landing subdivision, whose lawyer previously wrote to the municipality regarding the proposal to use a low-pressure sanitary collection system … has filed an OMB appeal,” said Watson in May. The appeal was filed as council endorsed staff’s position to require the use of a conventional gravity sewer system for the development. Meanwhile, the developer’s lawyer insists the municipality refuses to accept the technical explanations for the proposed low-pressure sewer system. It’s now looking like the hearing for that appeal may not occur until 2018. At the last council meeting, Watson said the last he heard, everything was still with the lawyers and they were “still debating whether everybody’s got all the paperwork.” In other council news: It’s looking like an integrity commissioner hired by Northumberland County could help Brighton. The county has put out invitations for a potential integrity commissioner and all other municipalities in the county, with the exception of Port Hope and Cobourg, are on board and may opt in or out of sharing those services, reports Watson. (Cobourg and Port Hope already have a commissioner appointed). Should the municipality move forward with the service and find it unsatisfactory, Brighton can chose to have its own commissioner, said Watson. Council had tried to move forward with the appointment of a commissioner for Brighton last year and it got complicated quickly. At first, in an effort to obtain some clarity surrounding the scope of the ombudsman’s office in terms of assistance for the municipality, council asked the Ombudsman of Ontario to visit Brighton. Council wanted to hear from the ombudsman first, prior to moving forward with the appointment of a commissioner for Brighton. Availability was initially a concern and council heard it would have to wait until this year for the visit.

Brighton — As council met for its latest meeting in October, there was still no word whether Brighton will recoup any costs following the 2016 Lakeside Landing appeal. Council has yet to receive a decision from the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on the apportionment of costs, CAO Bill Watson confirmed at the meeting. There had also been no word from the developer following a request for reimbursement of costs, council and the public heard. “ … I’ve heard nothing,” Watson told councillors. Included in the agenda was a copy of a letter sent to the numbered company developing the Lakeside Landing subdivision, of which Mayor Mark Walas has long identified as a “principal and shareholder.” The letter indicates the up-to-date costs to the municipality undertaken in defence of the appeal at $51,286. The correspondence shared in the agenda plainly states that in the municipality undertaking the defence of its zoning bylaw, this was in favour of the development of the subdivision. (The hearing conducted through May 20-22, 2016 was a result of an appeal having been filed by four individual resident appellants). “Since your development is the main beneficiary of the successful defence against the appeal, the council of the Municipality of Brighton requests that 952849 Ontario Limited reimburse the municipality for these expenses,” the letter reads. The company has been asked to contact the municipality to discuss the request, though no developer was party to the proceedings of the appeal, as the appeal was against Brighton’s zoning bylaw. A majority of council has made it clear in recent months they expect the costs to be reimbursed to Brighton and not by the residents who filed the appeal. As outlined above, the majority suggests the company should pay as the main beneficiary of

The American Hockey League has officially arrived in Belleville W ith last night’s historic home-opener against the Syracuse Crunch, the Belleville Senators played their long awaited first game in the newly renovated Yardmen Arena, the first ever professional hockey game to ever be played in the Bay of Quinte region. With the calendar turning to November, Senators fans finally have the opportunity to see their new favourite players, such as Colin White, Thomas Chabot and Filip Chlapik, live in action. Over the next two weeks, the team will play six more home games. Many of the players coming through the Yardmen Arena, both on the Senators side and on visiting teams, will one day play in the NHL. In the 201617 Stanley Cup Final, 94% of players had previously played in the AHL. This season, 640 AHL graduates were on the opening night rosters of NHL teams. That’s more than 82
percent of players across the League. There is a reason why the AHL is widely considered the best league in the world outside of the NHL. This season alone, Belleville’s Chlapik, Chabot, Christian Jaros, Jack Rodewald, Max McCormick and Chris DiDomenico have all been recalled by the
Ottawa Senators at some point. Further to that, Chabot, Chlapik and DiDomenico all went on to record their
first NHL points with DiDomenico also notching the first goal of his NHL career. And it’s not just the players. 23 of the 31 NHL head coaches to the start 2017-18 season have previously coached in the AHL. So, get ready Bay of Quinte. You never know who you will see on a nightly basis at the Yardmen Arena. It might be the next best NHL

COSSA gold for Norwood’s Thompson
BY BILL FREEMAN
Norwood — Marisha Thompson was golden at the COSSA crosscountry championships in Lindsay Oct. 25. The Norwood District High junior runner broke away from the field at the 500-metre mark of the five-kilometre race at the Ken Reid Conservation Area and never looked back, outdistancing 43 other runners and taking gold with a 1:09 lead over silver medalist Amy Dimoglou of I.E. Weldon. It was the first girls' COSSA cross-country title in the school’s 65-year history. “I wanted to start out in front because the course is pretty small down the trails. After the first 500

It’s been a banner year for Marisha, starting with a COSSA gold in the midget 1500 m and bronze in the open steeplechase and a first-place finish at the Bay of Quinte Invitational Cross-Country meet Oct. 12. She trains on her own and with a group at Trent University and is supervised at NDHS by Linda Coons. “She’s made a natural transition to cross-country,” says Coons. “The thing that makes her a champion is that she trains.

A lot of our youth are lazy now and running is not a passion for them.” Marisha admits to the passion for running that Coons says is so important at the elite level. “I prefer cross-country; it’s a cool experience to run through the woods.

London, Ont. – Three former ENSS Blue Dragons have gained recognition in the crosscountry circuit at the college level. Fanshawe College hosted the 2017 Ontario College Athletic Association (OCAA) CrossCountry Championships, at the Fanshawe Conservation Area in London, Ont., on Saturday, Oct. 28. Among the runners represented at the competition were three former East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) students, including Andrew Brown, Cole Bond and Graiden Maynard. In the men’s eight-kilometre race, Brown led the way for his St. Lawrence College team. He finished with a bronze medal and with a time of 26:42.5, less than five seconds off the winning time. His St. Lawrence team finished seventh
overall. Brown won two of the OCAA invitationals leading up to the championships last Saturday. Representing Sheridan College, Bond also led the way for his team and placed sixth in the men’s race, with a time of 27:28.4. He helped his team secure an overall third place finish. Maynard finished in 30th and his Humber College team earned an overall fourth place finish. Cross-country athletes represented a total of 22 Ontario post-secondary campuses at the meet. The top individuals and teams advance to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Cross-Country National Championships, in Sainte-Therese, Que., on Nov. 11. Both Brown and Bond have earned their shots at the national meet.

A year ago today, I was living in Germany, embarking on my crazy adventure. I first heard of Rotary’s exchange program in grade 9 and decided then that I wanted to go on exchange at some point in high school. I was extremely lucky to get my firstchoice country, Germany, and on August 14th, 2016, I left home to have the best year of my life. I made some amazing memories with my fellow exchange students, my German friends and my wonderful host families. But like every exchange I also had some challenges. Learning German was a challenge and was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be before I left. By March I could talk fluently but the first few months were hard. The language was my biggest challenge this year. School was very hard and a huge shock at first. School was taken very seriously and there were no extra-curricular activities which made it hard to enjoy school. Other than school, I fell in love with
many things about Germany. My city, Bielefeld, had a beautiful old downtown and the city was surrounded by forest; I was so happy to call this city home. Bielefeld was in the west, by Cologne and Dortmund. Food wasn’t too different from home, but I noticed myself splurging on fresh baked bread and yummy pastries from bakeries found on every street corner. My favorite part of Germany was the Christmas Markets. Every town would light up with Christmas lights and little vendors selling food and Christmas goods throughout the main streets. Wandering these markets with my host families and friends will always be a memory I cherish from my exchange. My year in Germany gave me the opportunity to see lots of the beautiful country as well as many other countries in Europe with some of the most amazing people I met on exchange. At the beginning of the year, I got to tour Germany and see amazing cities like Berlin and Hamburg. Later in the year, I travelled down to Austria for a ski trip with my Rotary district in the Alps, an unforgettable experience. Finally, near the end of my exchange I got to go on a once in a lifetime tour through central Europe with some of my best friends. I can’t believe the year is over, but I am so thankful for this opportunity and the people that I met on my amazing adventure.

Details emerge about couple killed Northumberland Hills Hospital BY KAREN LONGWELL
Cobourg – Details have began to surface about the couple killed at Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH). Although their names have not been released by police, family members have identified the couple who were killed at NHH on Friday, Oct. 27 as Tom and Helen Ryan. Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said the couple died following a shooting inside the emergency room in the NHH in Cobourg. The incident began after they were admitted to the emergency department for unknown aliments, said Jon Ansell, the lead SIU investigator on the incident. The couple was side by side on gurneys alone in what Ansell described as a triage room. Just after 11 p.m. a shot was heard from the triage room when nurses entered the room they found the woman had sustained a head wound. Cobourg police responded very quickly and encountered the 70-year-old man. Two police officers discharged their firearms and the man was pronounced dead on scene. A nephew of Helen Ryan said the family isn’t ready to speak as it is a very emotional time. Tom and Helen Ryan were staying at two trailer parks in Northumberland this summer and fall but planned to head back to Texas, according to both trailer park owners where they stayed. The couple stayed at Salem Woods Trailer Park for about one month, said Belle Cox, who owns the trailer park with her husband Jim Cox. Cox said the night of the shooting a care worker went to the trailer and then called police. “I don’t know why she called police,” said Cox.

After police arrived they called an ambulance for Tom Ryan and then later another ambulance for Helen Ryan, she said. The next morning at 5 a.m. Cox was shocked when police arrived with the news. Since then the SIU and OPP have come along with foren-
nice but a little quiet. Cox had heard she might have had Alzheimer’s. They had reserved one month at the trailer park and planned to return the next summer. They planned to head back to Texas. ”He was determined he was going to Texas,’ said Cox. She had told them they had to shut off the water soon and the season was ending. Stephanie Berry, who owns Castleton Hills RV Park with her husband Robert, said the couple stayed for three months before heading to Salem Woods Trailer Park. Berry said she didn’t know the couple very well but said they seemed like a normal older couple. “They seemed very nice,” said Berry adding she never witnessed fighting or violence. Berry said she was incredibly shocked to hear the news of the shooting and how Tom Ryan was described as violent and loving guns. She thought he was a very jovial man. “He liked to joke around,” she said. He had mobility issues and sometimes had to call emergency services to get a lift assist to get back in his trailer. Berry said the couple had intended to return to Texas but weren’t ready to leave so they moved to the Salem Woods Trailer Park about a month ago. Helen Ryan was a former music teacher who studied Opera at Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, according to her Facebook page. She went to Campbellford District High School. She had lived in Brenham, Texas. Numerous posts on her Facebook page indicated she was a

Woodlot conference to give glimpse of hardwood forests Batawa - Organizers say the Trenton Woodlot Conference on Nov. 24 is shaping up to be a “top-notch forestry event in eastern Ontario, providing expert information and guidance on woodlot/forest management, and hosted by the Hastings Stewardship Council.” An interactive field trip will get participants out in the woods, said the council. The keynote speaker, Dr. Warren Mabee, will present Seeing the Forest for the Trees: The Role of Woodlots in Ontario Environmental Strategies. Dr. Mabee, Canada Research Chair in Renewable Energy Development and Director of the Queen’s Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy, is well known for his engaging conversations on forestry and renewable energy. Woodlots are a great asset for any landowner: They help to manage some of our big environmental challenges. Carbon sequestered in wood can be stored in wood products or used to offset energy requirements. Woodlots provide important habitat for flora and fauna and help to maintain healthy levels of groundwater. Natural landscapes can be an asset to landowners for hunting and recreation. Also at the Conference, professional foresters Steve D’Eon and Ken Elliot will present Nudging your Hardwood Stands toward Old-growth Status. They will give a photographic tour of Ontario’s rare hardwood old-growth sites dominated by towering maple, beech, and eastern hemlock. You will
discover how to manage your woodlot to accelerate the old-growth features and nudge your stands toward old-growth status. The afternoon Field Trip is the Working Family Woodlot on a 72-acre property close to the hall. The owner, Gareth Metcalfe, and forestry professionals will walk you through recreational trail building, woodlot management, managing your woodlot for maple syrup and firewood, and tree identification on this hilly, diverse woodlot. Alternative afternoon Indoor Sessions are: Shelterbelts and Windbreaks, Selling Timber from your Woodlot, Forest Health Update on Insects and Diseases, and the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program. Many local exhibitors, including woodworkers, will display their wares, books and services. The conference is Friday, Nov. 24. Doors open at 8 a.m.; the program begins at 9:00 am and ends at 4:00 pm. The location is the Batawa Community Centre at 81 Plant St., Batawa (north of Trenton). Admission is $35, including lunch. Pre-registration is encouraged by Nov. 16, to ensure a hot lunch. For online tickets, visit hastingsstewardship.ca. For more information, contact Matt at 613-391-9034 or info@hastingsstewardship.ca.

New immigrants could be gold mine for Hastings County BY JACK EVANS
On a blind gamble, Hastings County economic and tourism development officials attended the recent Peel Region Immigrant Job Fair and came away pleasantly surprised. Department head Andrew Redden told council last Thursday: ”We met more than 100 people looking to work in rural Ontario. Many are interested specifically in our area and we are actively assisting two we met with finding jobs in our area,” he said, describing the results as an unexpected surprise and planning to develop the initiative further. “We are staying in touch with all of those we talked to through our email newsletter.” He explained that the main problem is that most of them, because of their skills and/or income status, require jobs for married couples. This was just part of an extensive report on the activities of his department over the past year. His report took almost two hours in a special meeting of the Planning and Development Committee last week, which includes the economic development department. It included several video presentations as well. He reviewed the hiring of Mark Hanley as small business co-ordinator and Luisa Sorrentino as marketing co-

ordinator and described their efforts as substantial. He quipped about the acronym “BEER,” formed by his department’s
four key theme areas – ‘business coaching, entice people, educate people on what we have here and revitalize our products and assets.’ The word ties in
with the growing success of new craft brew businesses in the county, he suggested. Hanley has had success in attracting interest to small business seminars, drawing 68 inquiries and 118 consultations. From 44 of these consultations, there is “good potential” for 15 new starts and six expansions with a potential of 60 jobs. Special services are offered to young entrepreneurs plus financial assistance. He also reviewed the success of last summer’s launch of the “I Left the City” campaign, which has already attracted several entrepreneurial newcomers with continuing work with two serious inquiries. There are also special efforts to attract more craft brewing operations plus two prospective distillery inquiries. Redden said one key to the county’s success in drawing interest is “story telling,” letter the people who experience new lives in Hastings tell their own story. Typical is the initiative this past year to create a designated network of canoe and bicycle routes throughout the county. Both of those are top priorities for next year. He also cited the recent compilation of assessment data that shows rural Hastings County leading the region in net income gain at 21 per cent.

Memphis Bass Pro Shops megastore is located inside a Pyramid Pyramid, it felt more like I was going into a theme park or a high-end casino rather than a sporting goods store. However, I was soon staring at a massive cypress swamp, with 100-foot-tall cypress trees, treehouse cabins, humungous aquariums (with over 1,800 fish), and live wildlife (including an 84,000 gallon alligator habitat). I spotted a sign which read, “FOR THE SAFETY OF THE ALLIGATORS, PLEASE DO NOT THROW OBJECTS INTO THE EXHIBIT”. Yes, there were actual live alligators in this store! As I strolled about this megastore, and checked out its various departments, I began to see just how extensive it really was, for it had very large clothing, camping, hunting, footwear, boat, and watersports departments, among others, and these all featured many name brands and a great variety of products. There was also a 1,250-square-foot Beretta Fine Gun Centre, an archery range, a shooting range, a laser arcade, a nautical-themed restaurant and bar with a saltwater aquarium, a 10,000 gallon catfish aquarium, an ocean-themed bowling alley, and a Ducks Unlimited Waterfowling Heritage Centre (allowing visitors to learn more about the plethora of birds found along the Mississippi Flyway and the importance of conserving the area’s wetlands).

We have some very large sports stores here in Canada, including a gigantic Bass Pro Shops outlet in Vaughan, but I was rather ‘blown away’ by the size, shape, and interior of the Bass Pro Shops facility that I found on my recent visit to Memphis, Tennessee. The first thing that caught my attention about this super structure was its unusual shape. After all, it’s located inside a massive pyramid, one of the largest in the world! Therefore, it can be seen from quite a distance and seems to dominate the Memphis skyline. This incredible 535,000-square-foot structure soars 321 feet/98 metres into the air and was once known as the “Great American Pyramid”. When it was originally built (back in 1991), it was used as an arena and sports/entertainment complex. However, it was eventually closed, remodeled, and re-opened as a Bass Pro Shops megastore in 2015. As I entered the Bass Pro Shops at the

unique experience to sit out on the balcony at night, when the store is closed to the public, and gaze out at the store’s interior rather than the great outdoors. The exterior of the Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid is clad in stainless steel, and its interior contains the world’s tallest freestanding glass elevator. This elevator ride is included for hotel room guests, but for store visitors, it’s $10.00 (children can ride for $5.00 until 4 pm). I, of course, had to do this, too, and I ascended to the top of the 32-storey Pyramid. Here I found “The Lookout”, a breathtaking glass-floored observation deck that has been patterned after the Grand Canyon’s adrenaline-pumping Skywalk. It’s quite the view of the Mississippi River and downtown Memphis from up here! I also found a restaurant and bar at the top (the Lookout at the Pyramid), so I decided to stay here for a while. I can just imagine how much time an

QHC to open 15 new hospital beds with $1 million cash transfusion
When nothing but grim news about wait times and paients on stretchers in hospital emergency departments dominate headlines, Quinte Health Care got a ray of sunshine Monday. Ontario Health Minister Eric Hoskins announced Monday that $100 million is being spent to open 1,235 hospital beds throughout the province. The funding announcement translates to more than $1 million for Quinte Health Care and that means funding to cover the opening of 15 medical/surgery beds at various QHC sites. It has not yet been determined where the15 beds will be allocated. Quinte Health Care has a total 236 beds in hospitals in Bancroft, Trenton, Picton and Belleville. In a report to the QHC board, vice-president Carol Smith Romeril told board members, combined, QHC’s four hospital sites are “about 15 per cent over-capacity on a regular basis.. She said they have also hit patient “spikes” when hospitals have been as high as 30 per cent over capacity. “As with many hospitals in Ontario, QHC
over the years and the funding injection will help ease the burden of lengthy waits and even stays in emergency department while waiting for a ward bed to become available. We are grateful for this funding announcement,” said Walker.
has experienced unprecedented capacity issues over the summer months,” said communications manager Catherine Walker. “Now, as we face flu season, these additional dollars will aid in ensuring we can continue to extend quality care to our patients while remaining financially balanced.” The hospital corporation had been forced with the difficult decision of closing beds
“It is an acknowledgement of the pressures facing Ontario hospitals – and will help reduce ER lengths of stay and ensure our patients are receiving the care they need in the appropriate care areas at QHC hospitals. The additional dollars will help ensure we have the appropriate staff resources for the increased volume of patients.” -COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER CATHERINE WALKER

Author and band leader Andy Sparling had a busy night signing copies of his book: “The Commodores Orchestra –Dance of the Decades” for Anne Bunnet. Jack Evans/Metroland
BY JACK EVANS
Hastings County Historical Society Saturday passed on its normal program of a speaker and went for a book launch for one of North American’s most historic dance bands – the Belleville-based Commodores, which, next year marks its 90 continuous year of making music. Written by the current band leader, Andy Sparling, the book has a special interest for the society as it effectively put up the money to have the book, titled “The Commodores Orchestra – Dance of the Decades,” published. To signify that, society president Richard Hughes formally presented Sparling with the first copy of the book before the orchestra launched into a program for dancing or just listening to a capacity crowd of more than 200 in the National Air Force Museum of Canada. Close to 100 patrons also got sales off to a good start during the evening. In the book’s forward, prominent Canadian author Peter C. Newman, who was
Lou Rinaldi, MPP

Lest We Forget
among the special guests for the evening, noted that the Commodores gave their first performance in the spring of 1928 at the former Bay of Quinte Golf Club and have been going ever since. He goes on to describe the band’s sound as “an enduring interpretation of the music of our times.” Other special guests included Quinte native and internationally known drummer, Brian Barlow who is also a deejay on CJRT (Jazz) radio, Toronto, Big Band program Sunday afternoons, as master of ceremonies. He described The Commodores as “one of the most successful musical ensembles in Canadian history.” The band claims to be the oldest continuing dance band in Canada and probably in North America. Hughes, a long-time admirer of the orchestra, said when he heard Sparling was working on a history for its 90th anniversary, he figured that the society should be involved, and promptly agreed to be publisher for the book, now available for $25 a copy. While many in the audience sat and enjoyed the music, there were plenty of couples up dancing the evening away. Historical Society officials must now figure out what to do for an encore for next year’s fund-raising banquet.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Find a way to fund needs for towns, cities ultimate leather SALE Re: Editorial, Oct. 26: “Municipalities can’t bear the burden” Dear Editor, Ontario’s municipal governments face a funding gap of $4.9 billion each year for the next 10 years and property taxes would have to rise to 8% annually to fill it. That’s a massive increase for property taxpayers. Yet our roads, bridges, transit and other services are used by everyone, including visitors. Municipalities only collect 9% of every household tax dollar. They do not have access to the “myriad of revenue options the province has.” That’s why AMO is proposing a greater Local Share of tax dollars for our communities by way of a 1% sales tax dedicated to municipal infrastructure. When provincial parties dismiss this proposal outright, they’re not fighting for lower taxes, they’re simply shifting the burden onto the property tax base. They are in effect choosing higher property taxes over other options. If Ontarians want to live in 21st century communities, we can’t keep funding municipal governments the way we did in 1867. Lynn Dollin, President, Association of Municipalities of Ontario

Prompt and competent support by a wide range of community partners played a key role in getting Hastings County’s application for provincial funding for the Home for Good project, council was reminded last week. The much-discussed project drew some $6 million in funding, approved by the province for a provincial Home for Good program build of 40-units for the county to own and operate, including 24-7 on-site support for those who are homeless or particularly vulnerable in finding safe housing. The funding goes beyond just the building and includes rent-geared-to-income support dollars for the new units, plus support for the homeless or at-risk homeless in the private sector. The county has already issued a request for proposals on Oct. 7 following notification of the provincial approval on Sept. 11 and is looking to take over the new building after it is completed, targeted for October of next year. The county’s application came shortly after the province announced the new program in response to a well-recognized homeless problem in the area, put together with documentation by several community agencies all involved in homeless problems. These included ambulance, fire and police services plus health agencies, mental health and the regional welfare department. All of those groups regularly encounter those individuals who are in dire need of supported or affordable accommodations. “We want to thank all of our partners for their immediate response of preparing letters of support and partnerships that were created as a result of this important initiative,” an Hastings County Warden Rodney Cooney. article in the county’s official Hastings County Times presented to council, states. “Further information will be provided as the project continues in 2018.”

Take It Outside
More than just a spot to store your shovel The garden shed has made an amazing transformation over the last few years. No longer are homeowners satisfied with a little wooden shed in the back corner of the yard. Sheds now have to look good, hold more and even act as privacy screens as they are becoming a focal point in our outdoor living spaces. There are two reasons why this is happening. The first, backyards are getting smaller as homes are getting bigger. The available space outdoors is shrinking as we give up yard space for home space. This means that it is getting harder to hide our beat-up tins sheds behind a large bush anymore. If we want a spot to store the shovels and the mower, we have to be

prepared to have guests see it. The other main reason has to do with our need for more. With all of the fantastic tools and outdoor furniture available, our need for storage has increased dramatically as we acquire more things. This means that our sheds are getting larger, making them even harder to keep discrete. Instead of helping my clients hide their sheds, I am encouraging them to bring their sheds front and centre. Here are two perfect examples of how sheds can be so much more in your backyard space. Tracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed: Tracy has a very common dilemma.

The stone took about 5 hours to install, but completely changed the look of the shed. Now Shoanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed is a stunning focal point that has ample storage and completely changes the feel of the yard. With so many ways to make your shed more than a storage space, why wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you want to make a change? Try something different this summer and make sure you send me a picture.

Shoana wanted to use her shed as a backdrop for a long and linear space. Often called a bowling alley, this type of yard is tricky because the width is significantly smaller than the length, which means all of the elements have to bisect the space, effectively chopping it up. By filling the entire back of the space with a large and visually dominant focal point, we not only give it purpose, we made the yard feel shorter by changing the visual lines of sight. With a modern aesthetic, Shoana wanted her shed to blend with the

means their windows look straight into her yard. To help solve the problem, I incorporated a unique shed style to both look good, but to also to create some privacy for Tracy and her family. I used a saltbox roof styled shed to both anchor Tracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard. The average height of a peaked roof on these new sheds is 12-15â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and by adding a pair of lattice panels topped with a decorative arbour on each side of the shed, I was able to create instant privacy that is beautiful and functional at the same time. My favourite part of this transformation is that the shed not only holds all of the tools, but now Tracyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children have hijacked the space as their playhouse, mak-

Broadband across rural areas a success story in progress: Hastings officials BY JACK EVANS
A recent conference of the Eastern Ontario Regional Caucus, held in Toronto was a positive event and a local initiative continues to draw praise, Hastings County officials reported to council last week. Warden Rodney Cooney said the event drew a full complement of Eastern Ontario county representatives plus their respective MPPs, several cabinet ministers and even a visit by Premier Kathleen Wynne. A key issue was more provincial support to expand broadband Internet services in rural areas. CAO Jim Pine said the successful expansion of broadband access for rural municipalities in Eastern Ontario is now drawing interest from other parts of Ontario and even jurisdictions in Alberta and other provinces. Originally a Hastings County initiative several years ago,
B12 Section B - Thursday, November 2, 2017
glass fibre cable and broadband services have already reached as far as Maynooth and while much of the county is covered, smaller gaps still remain. The service that has been completed already has had substantial impact in business and residential development in northern areas, county officials said. Such an initiative requires funding and, for the program to expand, the county and others in Eastern Ontario are going to need more from senior government. “The provincial official did not tell us to go away,” said Pine, indicating that chances for more provincial and federal support for the broadband initiative remains on the table. Cooney said, on another pressing issue, there was little discussion at the caucus about planning concerns and provincial policies that seem geared to limiting residential growth in rural areas.
New disease threatens area deer population BY JACK EVANS
Hastings County - Not the kind of story some won’t want to hear just as deer hunting season starts, but wildlife management officials are calling on hunters and rural property owners to watch out for epizootic hemorrhagic disease, known as EHD. A notice from the Ministry of Natural Resources to Hastings County council last week explained that the disease is “an infectious and often fatal virus in white-tailed deer.” It is recognized by signs of extensive hemorrhages at numerous sites throughout the body, including a blue tongue and is spread by midges, commonly referred to as “no see-ums.” The letter states that “hunters, wildlife managers, farmers and livestock owners need to know about EHD and its ability to cause large-scale outbreaks in deer and its potential implications to domestic livestock. There are no available
effective treatments or vaccinations.” Originating in the southern United States, the disease causes loss of appetite, loss of fear of people, weakness, excessive salivation, rapid pulse and fever. The latter leads to deer seeking water to cool off and carcasses are often found near shorelines. The ministry is working with Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative and other agencies to monitor the extent of the virus in Ontario. Those who see signs of infected animals are being asked to report them to the Canadian Wildlife Health Co-operatiave at 1-866-6734781 and also to submit carcasses or vital organs promptly before decay . Instructions on this are available at website www.cwhc-rcsf.ca. Rules about carcass disposal are also available at municipal offices. By way of light at the tunnel’s end, the disease is no threat to humans.

In the latest installment of the ‘local resident wins lotto’ saga, Mary Labine of Belleville travelled to Toronto recently to claim her winnings, totaling $122,497 in the August 9, 6/49 draw. She waited more than two months to collect her winnings, for reasons that weren’t explained.
Ontario Lottery & Gaming did not release any further information about the winner or what she plans to do with the windfall, but said the winning ticket was purchased at Rossmore Stop on Highway 62 in Prince Edward County.

Tourism awards draw strong interest BY JACK EVANS
Hastings County’s “HOTie” tourist award program is no longer small time, say organizers. This year’s competition, held last week in Bancroft, drew some 132 nominations for just three awards, two of which were won by the municipality of Tweed and a Tweed theatre group. Warden Rodney Cooney and other members of county council last Thursday took time to congratulate the Tweed community for garnering two of the three major awards. One was for the village itself and its hugely successful “Farm to Table” banquet last summer. That garnered Festival of the Year award. Also in Tweed was the Tourism Champion of the Year for the
original Tweed musical by Tim Porter and the Tweed and Company Theatre for its Canada 150th special project. The several performances in July drew large crowds. The final award, MVP (Individual of the Year) went to Nancy Hopkins, publisher and editor of Country Roads Magazine. Councillors also had some suggestions though, upon which economic and tourism director Andrew Redden said he would act. They want runner-up awards, considering the large number of nominations. Only three prizes for 132 nominations was not fair enough, several contended. The program is administered by Hastings Highlands and its Chamber of Commerce.

‘Rural Schools Matter’ drive underway A local effort has begun to help support a province-wide call to protect rural schools from closures and amalgamations. Over the past few weeks Rural Schools Matter has released a petition throughout the province of Ontario asking the Ontario Ministry of Education to make their moratorium on school closures retroactive to September 2016, to provide fair and equitable Pupil Accommodation Review processes that school boards must follow, and review the current Funding Formulae for all rural, northern and urban schools. Several MPPs across the province have given positive feedback about this initiative and plan to present the petition to the Ontario Legislative Assembly over the next several weeks starting with Peggy Sattler, NDP Education Critic, on Wednesday, 18 October. Locally, PC MPP Todd Smith will be presenting the petition on behalf of the Hastings Prince Edward riding during the week of Nov. 15. On June 28, the Ministry of Education declared a moratorium on school closures. After a provincewide consultation process, the Ministry decided the Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline was flawed and in need of an overhaul. The moratorium will remain in place until the Guideline has been redone. In the meantime, several schools, such as Queen Elizabeth in Picton and Quinte and Moira Secondary in Belleville, remain open having been voted for closure by school boards using the old Guideline. Rural Schools Matter believes it would be in the spirit of the moratorium to allow these schools to remain open until the need for their closure can be
reassessed under the new Guideline, giving boards a chance to reconsider their decisions using a more equitable process. We recognize we can’t change those closures already completed, but we hope this petition gives Ontario voters a chance to tell the Education Minister that we want students to remain in schools set to close in June 2018, or later. For those schools not yet affected by Accommodation Reviews, your voice must be heard as well. This petition asks for better educational opportunities through programming, staffing and building maintenance, if the funding model for rural schools is changed and as student populations decline it might mean the difference in how school closures are decided in future. Over the past year Rural Schools Matter has been working to highlight the importance of small, rural schools, not only in our area, but everywhere. It is our feeling that single-school communities depend quite heavily on their schools to be sustainable. When schools are closed in these communities it becomes very difficult to attract young families resulting in a slow die-out as jobs disappear and the population ages. Our goals are to maintain awareness of the critical role schools play in their communities and to protect these schools now and in the future. Signatures can be added by anyone (not just parents) living within the Hastings Prince Edward School Board district. Currently there is a copy of the petition at Kelly’s Shop on the Main Street in Picton. If you are interested in hosting the petition at your business, or just signing, you can contact J.J. Syer at jjsyer@yahoo.ca. All petitions must be completed and collected by Monday, Nov. 6.

CAS honours foster parents BY JACK EVANS
Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society has had a busy October, with its “purple” theme for Child Protection Month, as well as National Foster Family Week, Oct. 1521. At two separate banquets, one on Oct 19 at Occasions by the Bay in Trenton and on Oct. 20 at The Gate Restaurant in Gilmore for North Hastings, the society handed out service recognition awards to 44 foster parents or couples representing five through 35 years. The only 35 – year award went to Pat Andrews of Northumberland County, part of the area the reorganized agency now serves, as well as Hastings and Prince Edward counties. Another special award, the Board of Directors award, was presented to Ernie and Linda Parsons at the Trenton banquet in
recognition of not only foster parenting for 30 years, but also Ernie’s years of service on the board and his support for the agency during the several years he served as MPP. A 30-year award also went to Catherine and John O’Rourke of Hastings County, plus 25 years for Kelli and Victor Estabrooks, of Gardenville, Prince Edward County. Twenty — year awards went to Joyce and Tom Reid, Janet and Paul Lyons, all of Hastings County and Bill and Joanne Van Den Broek of Northumberland. Recipients were scattered throughout all three counties. The society constantly needs new, competent foster parents and hopes that such recognition will encourage more citizens to participate.
