Residents banding together in opposition of proposed gun range BY SARAH HYATT

Codrington – The idea of a small arms firing range on Cameron Road isn’t sitting well with all area residents. And recently, some Codrington residents say they are gearing up to take action and make their concerns heard. The Clitherows, Mike and Betty Ann (Goodfellow), who live on Clearview Lane, just off of Goodfellow Road, are two residents with worries. The husband and wife feel as though their way of life, the tranquility and peacefulness they enjoy in the countryside is now at risk. “I’ve lived in this quiet neighbourhood for nearly 60 years,” said Mike. Mike survived the Second World War, “V-bombs, doodle bugs and Heinkel’s (German aircraft bombers),” he said. Mike married the girl next door,

raised a family and built a farm business with his sons. The veteran calls his home and farm, his “quiet oasis.” “This is a peaceful area, in which to raise a family, milk cows and raise crops,” he said. The sound of more guns echoing through the Clitherows’ home is the last thing they want. The Warkworth Penitentiary range is to the north end of the Clitherows farm and “it can be extremely noisy,” at times, added Mike. Towards Potts Island, on the edge of the Murray Swamp, the Clitherows also often hear gunshots – then there’s hunting season too. “But that at least comes and goes, it’s not constant,” said Betty Ann. “The range would be open seven days a week. It’s a little different.” Recent sound testing “rung up through here,” said Mike. The gunfire, “it was very obvious.”

Residents banding together in opposition of proposed gun range Highway 30,” he said. It’s a difficult road already to maintain – it’s pretty rough, the brush is overgrown, it gets down to one lane in certain areas and features two wretched corners, Mike continued. For Dorothy Fletcher, who lives at 591 Goodfellow Road, the proposed range just doesn’t fit within the “ruralagricultural based community.” The marsh area is just behind her home, where she expects sounds will travel. “Sound is a major concern,” she said, noting the proposal is for a large facility. The idea of continuous shooting, essentially 364 days a year is something

“that will change everything, for all of us in this area,” she said. “A lot of people will be affected in a lot different ways.” Families and kids enjoy a certain way of life in the area – leisurely walks down the roadway and horseback riding are common, says the group. Yet people are expected to come from all over to use this shooting range, said Fletcher. The increase in traffic could have an array of impacts, including more noise, according to residents. The people who live in the area, they moved to the area for a reason and to enjoy a certain type of atmosphere and

lifestyle, said Fletcher. Others, well they’ve lived here, farmed these lands their whole lives and made deep investments in this community, Fletcher continued. For Fletcher, she said she feels compelled to fight even harder for families like the Clitherows who’ve been long-time contributors to the community. If push comes to shove, Fletcher said she can put up a ‘For Sale’ sign – but she knows others can’t. She wonders if resale value of nearby homes might be affected. Residents say they’re already forced to pick up roadside trash often, from

The proposed range is within 80 rods (402.3 metres), Mike estimates in regards to their one property and about 160 rods (804.7m) away from their Clearview Lane property. The caliber of weapons that may be used worries Betty Ann too, and increased traffic on the roads is a shared concern amongst residents. Cameron Road is like an escape route for the neighbourhood – it’s a shortcut to Trenton and Belleville, it’s quite well used by others on their way to Campbellford, Mike explained. “We can take our farm equipment down through the township [this way] without disrupting the very busy

and length of the season – it’s very difficult to predict, she added. The manager did confirm, to date, there have been no outbreaks in longterm care facilities within the area. When it comes to the flu shot, the health unit recommends that anyone six months of age or older gets the vaccine every fall. The message the health unit is sending this year is similar to years past. The flu vaccine is a person’s best shot at protection, even in the event there’s a mutation during the season, said Rock. The vaccine reduces a person’s risks of getting sick from influenza and even if someone gets the flu after getting a flu shot, the illness is usually milder, explained Rock. So what has indefinitely changed this flu season? This year, the health unit will not be providing community flu shot clinics.

“There are such a variety of places where people can now get their flu shot,” said Rock. Staff is encouraging residents to visit health care providers, doctors or pharmacies for their flu vaccines. Pharmacists can provide the flu vaccine to anyone five years of age or older. This fall, the health unit reports close to 50 pharmacies within the region will offer the flu shot. So there are a lot of options, said Rock. The health unit will, however, be providing “family-friendly” flu vaccine clinics, which will be geared to families with children under five. “We understand pharmacists are restricted when it comes to kids under five – so this year, we’ll be focusing our efforts on the little ones,” said Rock. Kids and their parents and/or caregivers, can receive their flu shots at these clinics, though by appointment only. And while Brighton no longer has a health unit office, the community will not be excluded, Rock assures residents. While most of the family-friendly clinics will be hosted at health unit offices within the region, staff will take appointments at the Brighton Community Resource Centre, on Young Street. The clinic will be offered in Brighton on Tuesday, Nov. 22. For those who wish to book an appointment, Rock encourages families to call as soon as possible. Given there

is a high demand, the manager assures residents, staff will do their best to accommodate the numbers. To make an appointment, call the health unit at 1-866-888-4577 ext. 1507. The health unit has also posted a list of countywide pharmacies that are approved to provide flu shots for the 201617 influenza season via their website at www.hkpr.on.ca. People are encouraged to also check directly with pharmacies, as to vaccine availability and for specific information. In Brighton, via the website, the Drugstore Pharmacy, Remedy’s Rx, Pharmasave and Rexall Pharma Plus are all listed. Anyone with questions or concerns regarding the flu shot is still encouraged to call the health unit, added Rock. Staff is encouraging residents to get their flu shots as early as possible. While the flu season is difficult to predict, Christmas is coming and it’s during this time, there’s often a peak in cases as a lot of germs are quickly shared with the gathering of people, said Rock. While residents prepare for flu season, staff is encouraging people to take a closer at whether families and people are up-to-date concerning other vaccines as well. People can also call the health unit at the toll free number listed above to find out more about required vaccines.

OPINION

Sometimes Trump is right Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Donald J. Trump’s record is not that good, but he does get it right once in a while. He got it right on Tuesday, when he said that Hillary Gwynne Dyer Clinton would be dangerously agressive in Syria if she wins the presidency. Trump went too far, of course. He always does. He claimed that Clinton would trigger World War Three with her Syrian policy, which is utter nonsense. Even a new Cold War is hard to imagine. The Russians know that they would lose it in only a few years, so they would refuse to play their allotted role in any such scenario. What Trump actually said, in an interview conducted in his Florida golf resort between bites of fried egg and sausages, was that the United States should focus on defeating ISIS. “We should not be focusing on Syria. You’re going to end up in World War Three over Syria if we listen to Hillary Clinton.” The Clinton policy in question is her promise (repeated in the third debate) to declare a no-fly zone and “safe zones” on the ground in Syria to protect non-combatants. Those zones, of course, would deny the Syrian government the chance to recover the territory it has lost to the rebels, and deprive the Russian air force of the ability to help it in that task. But what if the Syrians and the Russians don’t accept that the United States has the right to set up no-fly zones on Syrian territory just because it feels like it? What if they send their planes into those zones and dare the US air force to shoot them down? Then the US has to choose between backing down and being publicly humiliated – or shooting down Russian aircraft and (according to Trump) starting World War Three. “You’re not fighting Syria any more, you’re fighting Syria, Russia and Iran, all right?” Trump explained. If Hillary Clinton set up her no-fly zones and “safe zones”, she would be asking for a war with Russia. She would indeed be asking for it – but she knows that she probably would not get it. The Russians might shoot down a few American planes in response, and the United Nations would plead with both sides to show restraint. By then both sides would

be sufficiently frightened that they would be all too happy to back away from their confrontation. The Russians would be especially happy to do so, because they know perfectly well that they could not win a war with the United States. Even leaving aside the question of nuclear weapons (which make such a war unthinkable), Russia is simply not a credible rival to the United States any more: it has half the population of the former Soviet Union, and an economy onetenth the size of the United States. So Clinton would not really be courting World War Three if she did what she has promised. She would, however, be doing something very reckless and stupid. After Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, the United States really does not need to get more deeply entangled in another unwinnable war in the Middle East. What Trump is advocating is actually the policy that Obama has been following over the whole five years of the Syrian civil war: concentrate on eliminating ISIS, and do not get involved in the rebel military campaign to overthrow Bashar al-Assad’s regime however much you may dislike it. No more moral crusades. Whereas Clinton, by declaring no-fly zones, would effectively be creating safe areas for the rebels to operate out of. However, the great majority of the active anti-regime fighters belong to ISIS, or to the equally extreme group that used to be called the Nusra Front and is now changing its name every week or so in an attempt to conceal its true origins as a breakaway part of Islamic State and an affiliate of alQaeda. Most of the smaller rebel groups that Washington calls “moderates” are actually less extreme Islamists who are either voluntarily allied with the Nusra Front, or in thrall to it. But the fantasy still lives in Washington that it can bring together enough genuine “moderates” to create a “third force” that defeats both the Assad regime and the extremists of ISIS and the Nusra Front. This has been the official position of the “Washington consensus” on foreign policy for five years now, and Hillary Clinton is a paid-up member of that delusionary group. If she carries through on her promises, she probably will trigger a crisis with the Russians, and she will certainly involve the United States much more deeply in the Syrian civil war. It’s almost enough to make you vote for Trump. But not quite.

An election best left in the rear view mirror Editorial by Chris Malette Never has there been a campaign like it. Nowhere on this continent can anyone recall or cite a battle for the highest elected office in the United States as low-down and dirty as that which has pitted Hillary Rodham Clinton against the reality TV star and hotel developer Donald Trump. Everyone from scholars to coffee shop commentators to barstool profits are chiming in on just how horrid the whole thing – that thankfully comes to an end next Tuesday – has been. From an Oct. 31 Associated Press story on the vitriolic campaign that may set the tone for all that follow, scholars are now marvelling at the train wreck that has become American politics. Princeton historian Julian Zelizer said the toxicity of the campaign will be remembered not simply as a fluke wrought by the Trump phenomenon, but as part of a trend. “More and more of the electorate sees themselves as almost living in two separate worlds,” Zelizer said. “And when this happens, you tend to vilify the opponent. It’s not simply another view, it’s an intolerable view.” Toronto Star’s Washington bureau reporter Daniel Dale hit the road to Virginia to randomly ask Americans at a bakery and a Walmart what they thought of Hillary Clinton. The answers to his question are not unlike what one might see among fire-and-brimstone conservatives in Ontario when asked to comment about Kathleen Wynne. “She’s a whore,” said Jim Brewster, a 62-year-old farmer, as he walked into the bakery for some coffee. “Murderous, rotten, no-good, pious … bitch,” said Waldo Ward, a 60-something retiree, as he left Walmart with Halloween candy for the neighbourhood kids. “She should be taken out and shot. Absolutely.” Thinks it’s bad in Amurrica’s heartland? We have the same rabid left-right warfare here on so many levels. In the last federal election, one local hard right backer who veers to the libertarian, neo-conservative, Tea Party edge of the political spectrum was

kicked off the local Conservative candidate’s campaign team after intolerable Facebook posts were made public. Today, unrepentant and blaming ‘mainstream media’ and limp-wristed ‘so-called Conservatives with no spine…’ for ‘throwing me under the bus…’ the backroom worker carries on online with her blistering attacks on liberals – small and large L – calling liberalism a “death cult” and liberals/Liberals having been afflicted with “mental illness.” To descend into some of the gutter websites of the political crusaders, one risks becoming scarred by the sheer venom of the posts. It’s a reflection of just how far we’ve sunk in the political realm that we exorciate anyone in the most vicious terms who doesn’t adhere to our political views. It seems the gracious politics of just a decade or so ago is akin to recalling the ice ages, when looked at through the current mean-spirited prism of political gamesmanship. Take, as example, a letter making the rounds recently online that was recently posted by Hillary Clinton as a reminder of gentler statesmanship in the era of her husband Bill’s presidency and that of his predecessor, George H.W. Bush. On leaving office, Bush left a heartfelt note to his successor. Picture, if you could, either Trump or Hillary, for that matter, leaving such a missive for each other in that situation. Bush did not win re-election in his 1992 presidential race against Bill Clinton, but wished Clinton “good luck.” “I wish you great happiness here,” Bush wrote on Jan 20, 1993. “You will be our president when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well.” It’s a mug’s game to wistfully insist things “were better back in the day…” but in the glare of the harsh, bitter edge to politics today, one could be forgiven for citing that hoary old claim. Politics can indeed be a blood sport. But, now even the spectators are in the ring, armed with a keyboard and hate in their hearts.

Military vet intent on pursuing firing range dream BY SARAH HYATT

Codrington – William Benn’s dream is to construct a small arms firing range, located at 780 Cameron Rd. His plans are to create a fun, safe place for people interesting in shooting sports and for those interested in training for competitions. He’s been hard at it, in recent months, putting together documentation, with hopes of receiving council’s approval for the project. “I’m just asking for a chance to try this,” said Benn. Benn has heard from some concerned residents within the area lately, he said. “I’ve been trying my best to work with residents and to answer questions.” Benn hosted an open house in August, in an effort to address any concerns residents may have had at that time and to answer questions from the community. He said about 50 or so residents were in attendance. “I left feeling pretty happy on my end that we did the open house,” he said. “I thought it was a great opportunity for residents to get answers. From my point of view, I thought it went well. Sure,

there were a few people opposed… but I also got to address a lot of concerns.” Benn is a member at the Lower Trent Valley Fish and Game Club, where he rents space and teaches firearm safety. The idea behind the proposed range is Benn’s way of expanding on his passion for teaching. Benn also served 21 years in the military. “This was my dream after the military,” he said. “And I understand it’s not going to be for everyone and I can respect that.” Still, Benn said he currently feels as though he has more support for his proposal, than people opposed. “I think I’ve got a great plan here and I’m going to continue to pursue my dream,” he said. Back in July, Benn said he met with local homeowners – those closest to the proposed range and obtained signatures in support of his proposal. There are people about onekilometre away from the range, on both Cameron Road and on Aranda Way, who are in favour of the range development, said Benn. Benn first approached the municipality about the range back in 2015. Since, he’s been conducting noise, traffic and environmental impact studies.

www.krown.com/trenton

His original timeline, to have part of the range open in late September or early November has since been pushed back. The goal was to be fully operational by April 2017. Now, if approved, the earliest the range would be fully operational would be late next fall. Municipal staff has asked for peer review reports. “This is a pretty common practice,” said Benn. Recent noise studies and testing have been successful and well within the guidelines concerning acceptable decibel range, said Benn. The proposed range would occupy about 110 acres, with eightto-10 ranges and also include a storage building, off-street parking area and a skills training centre to assist with instruction of proper handing of firearms for safety purposes. A range safety officer would be on staff at all times. Proposed hours of operation are shorter than those outlined as acceptable by Ontario legislation. Benn previously said he would be looking at hours around 9 a.m. until 5 or 7 p.m. Sunday operational hours would begin at noon. The Independent made attempts to contact named residents and supporters of the proposed range, but could not obtain any comments. A note from

William Benn is proposing a small arms firing range, located here, at 780 Cameron Rd. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland. Brighton’s CAO Bill Watson: Documentation for the development is still not complete – no site plan approval has been granted, says Watson. The CAO acknowledges there’s been some concern and confusion in this regard. The property owner is allowed to move dirt around and do work or essentially landscaping on his land, Watson clarified. The CAO said there’s a lot more left to do concerning documentation before it comes time for a decision.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR HOLIDAY LOOK

The process is still ongoing. The CAO assures residents, “a fairly cautious approach” is being taken concerning this development. It’s fairly unique, admitted Watson, and a bit out of everyone’s wheelhouse – that’s why, the additional peer review studies have been asked for. Residents with concerns may opt to send letters to council or communicate with council in other ways or wait and be included in the more formal process, when it comes time for a public meeting, said Watson. If approved at the municipal level, Benn still needs the Ontario Provincial Police division of the Chief Firearms Office to sign-off.

said Ashleigh Danielsen. So this year, the community decided to try something new and hosted a unique type of Halloween carnival at the Codrington Community Centre, on Saturday, Oct. 29. Danielsen, who organized the event, said the idea was to bring the community together. Just because the trek from door-to-door may have proven challenging this Halloween, residents weren’t discouraged. Families and residents flooded the community centre parking lot with their cars for a ‘trunkand-treat,’ and to take part in the Halloween Carnival. Residents dressed up, decked out the

trunks or back seats of their vehicles, with all sorts of Halloween décor as if the trunks were the doorsteps of their homes – and then, little monsters, superheroes and princesses went to town, trick-or-treating, stopping at the various ‘trunks’ along their way. Cars decorated and filled with treats spanned across the parking lot, overflowing onto the lawn. Danielsen said the idea of the ‘trunk-and-treat is one that’s

already pretty popular in more rural communities in the United States. In Codrington, Danielsen was pretty excited to see the idea so well received. A costume parade, carnival games, a witch’s kitchen, cookie and pumpkin decorating, a barbecue and live music were also a part of the fun. A teen dance was held afterwards at the community centre for older youth.

Community Care applying for new federal funding to replace vehicles BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Cramahe Township-Trent Hills – Community Care Northumberland has applied for $92,500 in federal and provincial funding to replace two of its vehicles and to obtain scheduling software for its specialized transit system. The money will come from the $3.4 billion Public Transit Infrastructure Fund the federal government announced earlier this year “to accelerate” investments that support the rehabilitation of transit systems in the short term and transit expansion plans in the long term. Trent Hills and Cramahe Township each have been allocated more than $55,000 in funding but will not be able to make full use of the grants for capital purposes because the projects put together by Community Care add up to $185,000, and the non-profit organization must come up with 50 per cent on its own, or $92,500. Trent Hills director of finance Valerie Nesbitt said in a report to

council the one-time funding is for public transit infrastructure projects that impact transit ridership and improve customer experience.” The money is to be spent by March 2018. The projects must meet certain criteria for the money to be released but “I’m pretty confident we will be getting it,” Community Care executive director Trish Baird said. The agency replaced two of the seven vehicles in its fleet this year and it’s looking to replace two more, including the Venture Van that operates out of Campbellford and is mainly used for group trips. “It’s not running too bad but the body seems to be falling apart,” Baird said. The scheduling system “would save a lot of administrative time” by generating reports on ridership, kilometres travelled and other items currently done by hand. “Maybe there’s a more efficient way to travel,” using the data the software will collect, she said.

Community Care’s fleet travelled more than 300,000 kilometres on its three routes, which include AlnwickHaldimand and Hamilton townships, and connects to Cobourg’s transit system. If the organization is “able to keep reliable vehicles on the road,” become more efficient, and reduce costs, “that can bode well for expansion of service if we can move people easier,” Baird said. Community Care recently held a brainstorming session with service providers in Northumberland County to promote its transportation system and to find out how its services can be improved to increase ridership. “We’re going to be taking the results ... and doing some planning around that,” Baird said. “One of the big things at the summit we heard was we really need to get across that (the vehicles) aren’t just for seniors or people who are disabled, anybody can take it,” she said. But getting that message out there is “always a challenge,” she added.

Codrington farmers, artisans have a good working relationship BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Codrington – Another season of the farmer’s market came to an end Sunday, Oct. 30 and taking part in the last day of sales were area artisans, who set up a marketplace inside the Codrington Community Centre. The decision was made to have fewer vendors – 14 – than the first one held in August, which had 19. With a couple hundred people turning up at the summer event, “it was a little crowded,” organizer Catherine Stutt said. “People didn’t have the best opportunity to display their goods,” and shoppers found it difficult “to see everything.” However, “everybody had a good time,” Stutt said, so “we tweaked it – lessons learned.” She already has a waiting list of about 20 artisans for the next marketplace, “which is really good,” because it shows there is a demand for a venue like the centre that allows artisans to take advantage of the “energy” generated by the farmers’ market. “We work really well together,” Stutt said. There will be one more farmers’ market Nov. 20 ahead of Christmas and the artisans are talking about holding another sale as well, in December, Stutt said.

“It’s heartening to know that people are still creating, and still wanting to share that with people ... There’s an art dialogue (going on) in Codrington.” Among those present Sunday was The Stickman, Laird Nelson, a forester who makes hiking sticks, walking sticks and canes. He looks for trees with a vine on them that entwines around a tree “and actually starts to strangle” it, creating patterns which he brings out. The vine, whether honeysuckle or bittersweet, “doesn’t care what species it grows on, it grows on everything,” Nelson said. He leaves them natural looking, after peeling the bark and staining the wood. He applies polyurethane three times and sands four times to give the sticks “that depth and shine.” It can take anywhere from two to 15 hours to make them. “They’re all different (and) they’re not made in China,” Nelson said. Some, such as those made from ordinary poplar, “almost have a mother of pearl look to them,” he said. He had a good selection of sticks for sale last Sunday, but he has “several hundred more at home.” “It’s a hobby that I enjoy doing and it keeps me out of the house and Wilfried Elzner shows his hand-carved wood utensils to Allison Townsend. John Campbell/Metroland out of my wife’s hair,” he said.

Top provincial environment official at Nov. 25 woodlot conference Batawa - The 27th Annual Trenton Woodlot Conference is a leading-edge forestry event in Ontario and this month, the Hastings Stewardship Council again hosts its popular conference on Friday November 25 at the Batawa Community Centre, north of Trenton. The featured speaker is the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, Dr. Dianne Saxe. A top-notch forestry event merits a top-notch speaker. Attendees can sign up now (at hastingsstewardship. ca) for this premier presentation. The Trenton Woodlot Conference:

Adapting to a Changing Climate serves up expert guidance on woodlot/forest management and landowner programs (not to mention, a great lunch). The afternoon field trips are famous for interactive learning out in the woods. Saxe, the keynote speaker, will address breaking news: her new Greenhouse Gas Progress Report. She will discuss the status of climate change in Ontario, the province’s current greenhouse gas emissions, the government’s new capand-trade plan, and Ontario’s adaptation planning. Saxe is now a watchdog over

Ontario’s environmental, energy and climate performance, and guardian of the Environmental Bill of Rights. Her favourite mode of transport is her bicycle and her activity of choice is “Anything in a wild quiet place that requires a paddle.” Also speaking are two Registered Professional Foresters – Barb Boysen on Shooting a Moving Target: Conservation and Restoring the Forest, and Steve D’Eon on Managing your Forest in a Changing Climate. After lunch, participants choose from indoor or outdoor activities. Indoor afternoon events include Prairies and

Savannahs of the Lower Trent, the Diversity of Woodland Plants, and Plant Propagation. Outdoor afternoon events (near the Community Centre) include Tree Identification, the Trent Watershed, and Succession from Field to Forest. Outdoor Arboriculture demonstrations will present some of the latest techniques in tree care and milling, as well as tool demonstrations. Plenty of local exhibitors, including woodworkers, will display their wares, books and services. The Trenton Woodlot Conference is

on Friday, November 25. Doors open at 7:30 am for viewing of exhibits and artisan products. The program begins at 9:00 am and finishes at 4:00 pm. The location is the Batawa Community Centre at 81 Plant St., Batawa (north of Trenton). Admission is $35, including lunch. Preregistration by Nov. 16 is encouraged to ensure a hot lunch. Tickets may be purchased online at hastingsstewardship.ca. For more information, contact Matt at 613-3919034 or info@hastingsstewardship.ca.

Beacon Youth Centre volunteer wins perseverance award SUBMITTED BY THE BRIGHTON BEACON YOUTH CENTRE

Brighton – A long-time Beacon attendee and volunteer has been acknowledged for ‘staying the course’ and overcoming obstacles. On Thursday, Oct. 27, despite a wet, cold and miserable day, hope was in

abundance at the Beacon Youth Centre, as Frederick Dryden and his Liberty For Youth team stopped by in town, on route to Hamilton. Dryden stopped by the youth centre to visit with area youth and others like Mayor Mark Walas to share his story. His Brighton stop was just one of several for the day, as Dryden is running

from Ottawa to Hamilton over the course of three weeks to raise awareness for youth at risk and to push the federal government to increase funding in this regard. During his stop, Dryden spoke to 25 “spellbound East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) students,” about his life, said director of the beacon, Rene Schmidt. It was something pretty special, he added. Dryden endured racism and d i s c r i m i n at i o n growing up.

joined a gang and eventually ended up living on the streets, said Schmidt. It wasn’t until later and the efforts of a “caring teacher” who tutored him and church organizations that accepted him, he completed his education and decided to devote his life to helping youth. Last Thursday, while visiting with area youth and during his stop, Dryden awarded Sean Amikons, a long-time Beacon attendee, who is now also a volunteer for the youth centre, the Liberty For Youth Perseverance Award and a $250 bursary. The Liberty For Youth award is for those who “steadfastly stay the course” and overcome countless obstacles along their journey. “Sean was an easy choice for the award because he has come a long way from a very difficult early home life to where he is now,” said Schmidt.

Amikons is a graduate of ENSS and works at No Frills. Schmidt said Amikons attributes much of his maturation and success to his former foster parents and to people like Rick Hamilton, a volunteer at the Beacon, who spent time with Amikons while teaching him blacksmithing and life skills. Throughout Dryden’s daily “Running For Youth” mission, he’s been speaking to groups of youth and youth workers, distributing awards while raising funds to support awareness for his work in Hamilton’s “gritty streets.” Schmidt is hopeful Dryden will stay in touch with the youth centre and would like to have him come back again to visit with area youth. “His story is an inspiration to us all,” he said.

Tooth or consequences: Oral health program for kids expanded BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – The expansion of a nocost health unit dental program is aiming to ensure more children and teens have a better chance at fighting tooth decay. “Tooth decay is one of the most preventable childhood diseases, yet we still see many JK and SK students in the area who suffer from the problem,” says Anna Rusak, an oral health promoter with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. Recently, the health unit is looking

to help families to crack down on cavities with the expansion of a fluoride varnish program. Certified dental assistants for the health unit, Jen Atkins and Debbie Brisbin have been visiting area schools recently, providing the free fluoride varnish treatments to Kindergarten students. On Wednesday, Oct. 26, the duo was at Spring Valley Public School. Something like up 40 per cent of local JK and SK students who are screened by the health unit, either have cavities or have had dental work already due to tooth decay, explained

Atkins. The fluoride varnish is a quick and easy treatment, added Brisbin. With dental assistants visiting area schools, parents don’t even have to take a day off of work, she said. The dental assistants visit schools twice a year, with the fluoride varnish treatment recommended twice yearly, as an effective way to fight tooth decay. The varnish is a protective coating that is brushed on a child’s teeth – it helps prevent new cavities, by making tooth enamel harder, said Rusak. In recent years, the program has been offered to both daycare and Kindergarten students only – but now, the

program has expanded. Accessibility is important, beyond those first few years too, said Brisbin. While an easy treatment, for whatever reasons not all kids and youth are always able to have fluoride varnish care, despite the obvious benefits, she said. The expansion of the program will ensure more accessibility to kids and youth in the district’s area. Kids who’ve received the treatment in daycare or in Kindergarten may now benefit from the program right up until the end of school now, in other words. “The same goes for any older sisters or brothers who may not have been able to access fluoride varnish care in the past,” said Rusak. For students in higher grades

and youth up to age 17, the fluoride varnish program will be accessible on an appointment basis at health unit clinics. Those interested in learning more or booking an appointment are asked to call the health unit at 1-888-5999399. The expansion of the program is due to recent changes to the provincial Healthy Smiles Ontario dental support program. For the local health unit, the changes apply due to the fact; no communities in its jurisdiction currently add fluoride to their municipal drinking water systems. Both Health Canada and the Canadian Dental Association approve the application of fluoride varnish.

Rotary Club of Brighton Newsletter for October 2016 On behalf of our Rotary which really means, on behalf of the entire community, we thank all those that bought tickets at our Thanksgiving raffle draw for $1,000 in gift cards courtesy of our Rotary Club and Mike & Lorie’s No Frills. And.. the winner was Nancy McGowan. Congratulations… the money profited from this draw will do a lot of good in our community. We had two speakers this month… the first was our own Rotarian Steve Blakey who gave us his re-classification talk which is for non-Rotarians, a brief history of his life throughout the years. After growing up in St. Catherines; and graduating from the University of Waterloo with an engineering degree, he landed his first job… but, it was in Saudi Arabia for 2 years. Steve and Alison then went to England to complete his Masters’ Degree. Upon returning to Ontario, he joined Totten Sims Hubicki and later moved into management roles at his current position at Greer Galloway. Throughout his Rotary life, he has held many roles including his current position as Assistant District Governor which means working with four other local Rotary Clubs assisting them. Thank you Steve for all you do for Rotary and other folks.

Our other speaker of the month, seen here with Rotarian Ted Harp, was Janet Irvine who is the Executive Director of the Northumberland Community Counselling Centre (NCCC). Their main emphasis is on mental wellness and involves personal, couples and even family counselling. Presently, they have the main office in Cobourg but also have a satellite office in Campbellford two days a week. We were quite surprised that about 10% of their clients are from our immediate area. The center was established because of the need for affordable and accessible counselling services in the county. Most of their services are free of charge. NCCC has worked hard to meet the mental needs of the county and they are proud of their accomplishments. For more info, contact www.northumberlandccc.com or call 1-866-748-5720 This past week, Rotary and the rest of the continent, celebrated WORLD POLIO DAY. Since Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative nearly 30 years ago; the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99.9 percent, from about 350,000 cases a year to 26 confirmed as of Sept. 19, 2016. To sustain this progress, and protect all children from polio, experts say $1.5 billion is urgently needed. Without full funding and political commitment, this paralyzing disease could return to previously polio-free countries, putting children everywhere at risk (including or own Canadian children). Rotary has contributed more than US$1.6 billion to ending polio since 1985, including thousands of dollars contributed by our own Rotary Club of Brighton over the years. Visit www.endpolio.orgfor more about Rotary and its efforts to eradicate polio. Finally, be sure to call us to reserve your tickets for our Rotary Club of Brighton Comedy Night in Brighton on Saturday, Nov. 12. This evening will feature Chris Quigley of Yuks-Yuks. Doors open at 5:00pm. Come and view the many silent and live auction items before enjoying a three course meal provided by BBQ On Wheels.

Morgan scored on the open net with 10 seconds left in the game, assisted by Silveri and Marinelli, bringing the final 3-1 for the Hawks. Wellington totalled five minutes in penalties on two infractions while Trenton tallied nine minutes on four infractions. Trenton’s goalie Chris Janzen made 29 saves out of 30 shots and Wellington’s Connor Ryckman made 37 saves on 39 shots. G-Hawks’ assistant coach Kevin Forrest said he felt the guys played one of their best games as a team this season. “We asked them to play tighter defence, limit the scoring chances against and manage the puck a lot better than we have the past few games,” he said. “The players definitely responded well to that and put together a great and complete game against a tough team with one of the best offensive lines in the league.” The Trenton Golden Hawks’ win against the Wellington Dukes was also the team’s 250th regular season win under its present ownership, a great milestone said Forrest. “It feels great to get the 250th regular season win for the current ownership group, they’ve done so much for the team and the community so it was great to see the players come up with a solid game and achieve such a significant milestone like that for them.” The G-Hawks will hit the road to face the Kingston Voyageurs on Thursday Nov. 4. The Hawks will be back at home on Friday Nov. 5, to play the Pickering Panthers at 7:30 p.m.

SPORTS

Blue Dragons heading to OFSAA cross-country championships Brighton – East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) student, Andrew Brown, is still the reigning king of cross-country. The Grade 12 student, while facing off against some of the best from the Bay of Quinte and Kawartha regions recently, captured yet another victory. Brown captured the senior boys championship title for his fourth consecutive win of the season during the Central Ontario Secondary School Athletic (COSSA) overall cross-country running championships. The championships were held at the Goodrich Loomis Conservation Area, north of Brighton, on Wednesday, Oct. 26. “It was a rough, rocky 6,800-metre run – with two big hills and through the woods…it’s no easy run,” said Brown. “I didn’t start in first place.” The Grade 12 student started in third and spent most of the race in second place. It wasn’t until the very last kilometre of the race that Brown took the lead. He said he got inspiration from seeing and hearing ENSS coach Harold Kuschnik cheer him on towards the finish line – he then reached down deep to take the top spot and cross the finish line first. Talking strategy, Brown said, it’s always an advantage to know where your competition is and it makes sense to pace yourself for the final dash at the end. But towards the end, Brown was getting worried, he admitted. Kuschnik was a big help, said Brown, as he made that final sprint. Brown “...ran an outstanding, gutsy and tactical race to come from behind in the last kilometre,” said Kuschnik. Brown’s been racing cross-country since Grade 10. “I like it because it’s a team sport, but you can also compete individually,” Brown said. “Each course is different and distance running, endurance – that’s my thing.” The 17-year-old previously conquered at the Bay of Quinte cross-country championships and two invitational events leading up to COSSA. But he wasn’t the only one running away with a win recently. Overall, with a total of 31 points, the ENSS Blue Dragon cross-country team finished third at the COSSA championships. The Dragons were edged out of second by one point, with the Bayside Secondary School team tallying 32 points. St. Peter Catholic Secondary School, from Peterborough, took first place with 40 points. Still, a total of 16 runners from ENSS

will compete at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships, at Trinity College School in Port Hope, on Nov. 5. “Every athlete ran an excellent race,” said Kuschnik. “ENSS is very proud to be sending two teams and four individual runners to this year’s OFSAA…” Both the ENSS midget boys and junior girls teams took second place in their divisions and qualified for OFSAA. Kyle Crowe, who was the 11th individual, overall, led the midget boys team. Other midget boys included Sebastian Jones (18), Ewan Morreau (19), Braden Wannamaker (20), Levi Palmer (21), Reece Voskamp (30), Ethan Taylor (39), Liam Hogan (45), Ben Hunt (47), Adam Parkinson (50) and Josiah Rupke (52). The midget boys team competing at OFSAA will be comprised of Crowe, Jones, Morreau, Wannamaker, Palmer and alternate Voskamp.

Students from St. Theresa get a PM moment on the Hill Belleville - It had all the makings of a standard tour of Parliament Hill until a certain prime minister showed up. Neil Ellis, Member of Parliament for Bay of Quinte hosted teachers Teressa Krentz and Sean Simpson and their Grade 10 civics class from St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School at Parliament Hill, last Wednesday, Oct. 26. The group was greeted upon arrival by Ellis who personally provided a tour of Parliament. While on tour, the students had the opportunity to meet U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Jeh Charles Thompson and U.S. Ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman, who generously

took time to stop and speak with several students. To cap off what was a wonderful visit MP Ellis arranged a surprise meeting between the students and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “What better way to inspire and foster a connection between young people and the government than by hosting them at Parliament Hill and allowing them the opportunity to forge a personal connection to our nation’s leaders and political system,” said Ellis. “I firmly believe that as a politician it is my responsibility to help inspire an interest in politics with young people and foster that interest by engaging them in a meaningful way on an ongoing basis.”

Paramedics receive awards at County Council BY JACK EVANS

Presentation of awards for various paramedic activities and achievements occupied several minutes of time at Thursday’s meeting of Hastings County Council. One was an award recognizing life-saving efforts of staff members at Prince Charles School in Belleville in an incident on Sept. 13, when a volunteer baseball coach suffered a cardiac arrest. A defibrillator device as well as other revival methods were quickly applied with the device inside the school and a 911 call to From left: Paramedics Chief Doug Socha, Todd Lamorre, Warden Rick Phillips and Mike Emergency Services brought quick response. The incredible efforts were successful and Slatter. The Paramedics received the Governor General’s Award for “Exemplary Service.” Jack Evans/Metroland Rex Somerville was revived.

He and family members plus the staff and volunteers who helped with the efforts were recognized with certificates presented by Doug Socha on behalf of Hastings-Quinte Emergency Services and Warden Rick Phillips for the county. Speaking for the family, Rex’s brother, Dan, himself a professional firefighter, expressed gratitude for the presence of mind and skills that saved the life of his brother. It was a “happy-ending story” he said. Also recognized were two paramedics recently presented with the Governor General’s Exemplary Service Award. They are Todd Lamorre and Mike Slatter, deputy chief of quality and development.

Congregations vote to close two of three churches BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – The congregations of three local churches voted to close the doors of two leaving a third for their Sunday service. Dwindling numbers of parishioners and the bottom line are what made this choice necessary. “These congregations chose life and chose to continue on and that is the most important message about all of this,” said Rev. Cathy Gradante, the pastor for all three. “It’s sad that they are closing . . . the physical structures were not being used as they were back in the 1950s and ‘60s, all the bustling . . . but the congregations chose to continue on, chose to be about community,” she explained. Parishioners of Stanwood United Church and Tabernacle United Church (also known as English Line United Church), are now attending Sunday services at Hoards United Church, now called Seymour United Church Pastoral Charge. The service has been held at Seymour church since January, but a closing ceremony for the Stanwood church building, which is about 112 years old, was held Sept. 25. “We had a baptism at the end of that service so we ended on a note of celebration and joy and new life. It was important for everyone to have a balance. You can’t just be all sad so we had some moments of memories and tears,” said Rev. Gradante. Both church buildings will be sold. The money will be used to keep Seymour church maintained and as well provide some much-needed upgrade including accessibility. That building is newer, dating back to the 1950s. “As long as congregation is still functioning they keep the money,” said Rev. Gradante, who has been pastor for the three churches since 2012. “Churches are struggling everywhere, not just here,” she noted. The local Presbyterian churches and Catholic churches are also undergoing changes and closures are not out of the question. “Financial implications are critical in all of this,” noted Rev. Gradante. The closing ceremony for Tabernacle church, which is about 125 years old, will be held Oct. 30. B2 Section B - Thursday, November 3, 2016

Quinte Grannies mark 10 years of fun and fundraising Belleville – It’s been a decade of fun and activism for one group of local grandmothers, members of which have spent that 10 years raising funds for those in need half a world away. On Oct 25, more than 60 local Grannies and their supporters, known as Grandothers, gathered at a downtown Belleville restaurant for a Celebration Dinner marking their 10th anniversary. Tributes were paid to Win Perryman, Dorothy DaviesFlindall, Bernice Hassay, the three women who founded the Quinte Grannies for Africa in 2006 and congratulatory messages from local MPs, MPPs and Mayors were shared. In 2006, a call went out from The Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF) to grandmothers across Canada to join together in solidarity with African grandmothers affected by the ravages of HIV/AIDS epidemic. The result of HIV/AIDS has had an impact on millions of African grandmothers, stealing their children and leaving them to raise their orphaned grandchildren, most often with few resources and little support. And so the Grandmother to Grandmother Campaign was initiated. SLF provides grassroots support, both material and emotional, that is so desperately needed in sub-Saharan Africa. Since 2006 “the Grannies” have increased greatly in numbers, both locally and

across Canada, where there are now over 240 grannies groups. The local group has about 35 active members, who have raised awareness of HIV/AIDS and its impact on African grandmothers, advocated on their behalf for medication to treat HIV/ AIDS, and raised funds to provide financial assistance. Over the past ten years Quinte Grannies for Africa has raised over $270,000.00 for SLF. A visual history of Granny events and activities from the last ten years was presented that showed the commitment of Quinte Grannies for Africa to achieve their goals in many different ways such as jewelry sales, dessert bridges, fashion shows, calendar projects, harvest marketplaces. Guest and special friend to the Grannies singer/songwriter, Jeanette Arsenault, was recognized and made an honorary Quinte Granny for her ongoing commitment to the Quinte Grannies for Africa. She has recently written an inspiring song for the group called “Grandmothers Rising” which she sang to close out the evening. Grannies rose from their seats to dance with her in celebration. As the Quinte Gran-

nies look to the future, their goals remain the same, to continue their support of the remarkable African grandmothers as they move forward beyond the basic necessities and to seek justice in areas such as land and inheritance rights. We welcome new members.

Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chamber music outreach program coming to schools BY SUE DICKENS

Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An outreach program by the Quinte Society for Chamber Music (QSCM) is hitting all the right notes as it brings the elements of musical expression to a school near you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Society is working hard at designing educational outreach programs that allow everyone to learn a little bit more about what the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the musical sentences actually mean, and the significance of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;storyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; they tell.â&#x20AC;? That is the announcement on the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page, and it is a focus for the committee, which already has plans in place for November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our outreach program is essentially all about bringing classical music to places where no string quartet has gone before,â&#x20AC;? explained Bonnie Sallans of the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this case, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a string quartet but violin-piano duo, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have quite the same rhythm when you say it.â&#x20AC;? All of this comes on the heels of the QSCMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation of Sebastian Sallans with pianist Todd Yaniw in a perfor-

mance at Stirlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church on Nov. 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Besides, soon a string quartet will be involved,â&#x20AC;? she said, offering a hint of what the future will bring. The November outreach will involve three schools in Trenton, Belleville and Prince Edward County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In each of these schools, we will be talking to different classes,â&#x20AC;? she explained. Trenton is a vocal class where the students have little or no experience of classical music. In Picton, the Society may be visiting a class of non-music students â&#x20AC;&#x153;who will have probably no experienceâ&#x20AC;?, she said, as well as a music class. The group at Centennial is a little different, she noted, as Centennial Secondary School in Belleville is a performance school with music students, many of whom are contemplating a professional career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important for us to reach out to young people from all these backgrounds, as we want to encourage music students to explore classical music,â&#x20AC;?she said.

The Society is focusing on high school right now, although it is also possible they may develop a program appropriate to the middle school level as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also want to give those already interested some contact with professional musicians already working in the field,â&#x20AC;? Sallans said. It is essential to the Society, she pointed out, to give those who have never had the opportunity to consider listening to classical music the chance to hear it played, and played well, by people standing right there in front of them and with whom they can have conversation when the music stops.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our hope to also be able to take this program to the high school in Madoc and then Bancroft, in the Hastings Prince Edward board, and then reach out to Campbellford,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sallans invites everyone to check out the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events page at http://www.qscmusic.com in the next few weeks, as they will be posting news of educational opportunities as well as discussion of concert program content there soon.

Loyalist among colleges tackling climate change Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colleges, including Loyalist, are playing a leading role in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to tackle climate change, says a newly released report. The report, Moving to Net Zero: Colleges Leading the Way, highlights the 24 collegesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; achievements in everything from leading-edge research that promotes energy efficiency to the development of programs that prepare increasing numbers of graduates for careers in areas such as renewable energy and sustainable building construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doing our part to improve the health of the planet is a priority,â&#x20AC;? said Dianne Spencer, Interim President, Loyalist College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Loyalist, we are firmly committed to the global effort to fight climate change.â&#x20AC;? The report documents achievements in five areas: research, community leadership, college programs, transportation and campus upgrades. The examples in the report confirm that all 24 colleges are playing an active part in the effort to reduce the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon footprint.

For example, it highlights Loyalist Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new carpooling program, which encourages students and staff to travel together to reduce carbon emissions. Each day, the first 24 carpool groups (vehicles with two or more people) who register with the front gate are granted oneday free designated parking privileges. Last year, Loyalist completed the STARS (Sustainability, Tracking, Assessment & Rating System) program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a voluntary assessment for higher education institutions. The result: A Bronze rating for the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability performance and recommendations for improvements, which are being led by Loyalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sustainability Coordinator and Committee. During the last several years, the college has reduced its carbon footprint through policies and projects, such as Residence composting, LED lighting upgrades, building automation system efficiencies, light and faucet motion sensors, and most recently, centralized waste stations for increased recycling.

Quinte West - Trenton’s Sarah-Ellen Payne won $1 million in a recent Lotto Max MaxMillions draw. “I checked my lottery numbers online,” said Payne while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto where she picked up her winnings. “All six numbers matched up! I was shocked as I couldn’t believe it.” The 29 year old called her mom after the September 9 win to share to good news. “She seemed more excited than I was. I was feeling over-

whelmed.” Payne said she has big plans for her windfall. “I already bought a car and I plan to share some of my winnings with family. I was thinking about buying a new house. Plus, my boyfriend and I will be taking the kids to Disney world! This win gives me the freedom to do things that I couldn’t do before,” she said. The winning ticket was purchased at Price’s Variety on Byron Street in Trenton.

County rejects forestry protection BY JACK EVANS

If the grandchildren of today’s Hastings County council members start to wonder where their forest industry went, they can look to their ancestors. After two years of study and consultation and genuine concerns by several council members at uncontrolled stripping of prime forest resources, often from out-of-area interests, council Thursday overwhelmingly voted against a bylaw designed to remedy those concerns. The situation may have been nothing more than the question raised by Centre Hastings Mayor Tom Deline: “Must it be a county bylaw? Why can’t a municipality pass it?” But, the bylaw was a cornerstone of a major new official plan the county’s planning staff has been working on for literally years and stemmed from concern by some members about irresponsible harvesting that had been targeted to be include in that plan going back about two years. Council also faced three letters from landowners condemning the proposed bylaw as unnecessary further meddling in private property and costs of enforcing the new bylaw, estimated at up to $60,000 a year once the proposed bylaw would take effect next summer. Some members expressed doubts that the incidents of bad harvesting were exaggerated. Also, it represented just one more burden of interference in what owners do on their own properties. Council also heard a lengthy appeal from Jim Pedersen representing the county’s Stewardship Committee, who was one of the resource people involved in the bylaw consultations. Himself a forest lot owner as well as a professional forester, he contended that irresponsible harvesting was far more widespread than many realize and if not controlled could threaten

the county’s valuable forest industry in the long term, an industry that provides at least 100 or more good paying jobs. “It costs a lot more to restore a hardwood forest than it does to preserve it,” he said. He noted that the bylaw excludes any property smaller than 10 acres, cutting for domestic heating use or building or road construction areas. He also noted that woodlot owners qualify for a 75 per cent discount on taxes for “managed” forest lands, providing they abide by the program, but many are not enrolled. He argued the bylaw will “make things better for all in the long term. Please, pass this bylaw,” he appealed. Often referred to as a “tree cutting bylaw” to prevent poor harvesting methods, such bylaws are already in place in neighbouring Northumberland County, also in Haliburton. Mayor Vivian Bloom of Hastings Highlands, chair of the Planning Committee, said she supported the concept of such a bylaw , but the conditions imposed on landowners for permits and fees were too obstructive. “I had hoped we could take more time and make some changes first,” she said in a telephone interview. “The planning staff did not agree so the only thing I could see to do was lobby to defeat it.” She had doubts that a renewed approach to present a new bylaw was likely. She added that much of the concern that sparked the bylaw came from people who did not check the facts about forestry before complaining to the news media and council members. She agreed with reports that major companies target Hastings County because they know there are no regulations. “In a way, I’m sorry we couldn’t pass it, but it would have to be modified first,” she concluded.

A big old thank-you from BGH Foundation Belleville - It was a night to say thanks – thanks for the millions of dollars needed to equip Belleville General Hospital with state-of-the-art equipment such as a new MRI imaging machine. Representatives from Metroland Media Seaway Group joined dozens of others last week in basking in the gratitude of the hospital board, staff and foundation, responsible for capital fundraising initiatives. Metroland was recognized as a “Founder” in the donor categorizations, emblematic of having donated almost $95,000 toward varous campaigns for fundraising at Belleville General. At Wednesday’s event, Patricia Guernsey, vice-chair of the BGH Foundation board, told the more than 100 people assembled it was their support that helps make care better in the Quinte area, noting Ontario hospitals do not receive funding to purchase equipment or perform physical renovations to hospitals. “We could not do this without you,” said Guernsey. “Equipment has been purchased, diagnoses has been made, treatment delivered, suffering has been alleviated and lives have been saved all because of you. “Doctors and nurses have chosen to locate here in part because of the equipment that we have, and that we can provide the best care possible.”

Metroland general manager Gavin Beer, foreground, prepares to mount a plaque recognizing Metroland Media as a Founder donor to the Belleville General Hospital Foundation. He’s joined by BGH Foundation executive director Drew Brown. Chris Malette/Metroland

Habitat group seeks more county help, describes expansion plans BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - “More homes for more families more often” is the new slogan for the Quinte area’s Habitat for Humanity group under the leadership of former automotive dealer Bob Clute. Acknowledging to Hastings County Council Thursday that the county had already given a hefty loan of $250,000 over five years under its social housing program, he said his agency will need even more to meet its goal. He introduced Anita Ramji, a single mother with two children and a recent beneficiary of the Habitat program, to illustrate the value.

“It was a life-changing experience for me,” she said. “It had been an impossible dream to even think of a home of my own, but now it has come true. I get my children off to school and I’m home for them to preparer a good supper and help with homework.” Clute related how the program had been building one or two houses a year. But his goal was to increase that sharply, so the past two years have seen four to five houses built. But with increased costs of construction and therefore mortgage payments, more funds are need and he asked the county to help. His request will be studied later in committee meetings.

BY JACK EVANS

Tyendinaga Reeve Rick Philllips has seemed like a fixture after having served as warden of Hastings County for the past four- and-half years. That is a record for a county that for many years refused to allow wardens to sit for more than one term. But for the annual nominations for warden at Thursday’s meeting of county council, only one name was put forth - Mayor Rodney Cooney of Stirling-Rawdon. Formal confirmation of the new position will take place at the November meeting of council with induction early in December. “I think it would be selfish of me to take on another term,” said Phillips. “I felt it was time to give someone else a chance. It has been a great experience, but I’ll still be on council and looking forward to taking it a bit easier.” Phillips was named warden when he took over mid-term for a warden who had to resign for health reasons, then stayed on for three more terms with solid support from his fellow county council members.

TRAVEL

Exploring Sedona’s incredible Red Rock Country

TICO#50007364

Arizona seems to be attracting a lot of Canadian snowbirds, particularly from western Canada, so I decided to check it out. After all, it’s the Grand Canyon state, and that in itself is a pretty strong tourist magnet. However, after my trip, I’ve decided that any visit to this picturesque state should also include a visit to Sedona’s Red Rock Country. It’s, indeed, particularly special! If you’re driving south from the Grand Canyon, the states #1 tourist attraction, you’ll drive on route #89A, through the spectacular Oak Creek Canyon, to get to Sedona. You’ll encounter some steep switchbacks as you descend into this narrow, colourful gorge, passing through a thick pine forest, and you’ll eventually arrive at Sedona itself, the state’s second most popular tourist area. Sedona is so very popular because of its awesome red rocks, with their many unusual and striking formations, and because of the great variety of ways that are offered to the tourist for exploring this spectacular area. For example, upon arrival, the first thing that I’d do is take a trolley ride through town, for I found that this was a great way to ‘get my bearings’ and to decide what were some of the areas that I just had to check out for myself in more depth. I’d also be quick to book an off-road jeep or Hummer tour of this Red Rock Country, for these seem to be the most popular ways to explore the Sedona area. It’s also possible to go hiking, cycling, horseback riding, hot air ballooning, or even flightseeing. Furthermore, you can decide to explore this area by train, bus, or Segway, and there are vortex tours, wine tours, and/or astronomy tours. Yes, there are many ways to get around and explore – and the great variety of restaurants and accommodations offer the tourist plenty of options, too. For example,

for dining, I’d check out such places as the Mariposa Latin Inspired Grill (try its fish sandwich special for lunch), Golden Goose American Grill (try its chicken tortellini), and/ or Sound Bites Grill (this modern day supper club is located at the Hyatt, and I enjoyed a fantastic lobster dish here). For accommodations, I stayed at two different properties, and both were great: the Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa (on the west side), with its very own red rock viewing and stargazing terrace and the Best Western Plus Arroyo Roble (the tallest building in uptown, and it also offers wonderful, unobstructed views). Some of the not-to-be missed attractions include such enthralling rock structures as Courthouse Butte, Cathedral Rock, Chimney Rock, Madonna and Child, Two Nuns, Coffeepot Rock, Castle Rock, and Bell Rock. One of the most famous man-made structures is the Chapel of the Holy Cross. It’s a Roman Catholic chapel that’s built right into Sedona’s rocks, so I, of course, had to tour this fascinating building (it’s open to the public), and I could view many of those aforementioned rock structures from this very site. I could also see an awesome mansion just below this hill, and I was told that it was seldom used but was valued at more than $20 million (there’s apparently even a waterfall built inside this house!). Indeed, Sedona’s popularity had led to some interesting buildings and some expensive real estate! The Sedona area also offers two awesome state parks, and I’d recommend a visit to them both. The Red Rock State Park features a red sandstone canyon and some fascinating hiking trails.

Rainfall apathy “dangerous” county told BY JACK EVANS

Belleville - This is no time to become complacent about the drought situation, Terry Murphy, general manger of Quinte Conservation told Hastings County Council Thursday. He was reinforcing a letter his agency had sent to all municipalities in the watershed asking them to prepare detailed plans for a drastic drought situation, which could come as early as next year. “If the ground freezes before we

get adequate rainfall for ground gone under from the effects of runoff levels. He suggested county water reserves, the rain can’t get the drought. The problem still planners might want to take a through. Also, if we second look at plans don’t get enough snow, for rural subdivisions we’ll start next year especially. “In the with a serious situation light of rainfall for both groundwater this summer, we see and runoff levels,” he subdivisions of up to argued. 50 homes where maybe He reviewed the the wells are only able TERRY MURPHY - GENERAL MANAGER OF QUINTE CONSERVATION problems people in to support about 10,” the area have faced he said. with loss of wells, high additional exists, despite recent rainfalls, he He noted that the Bancroft costs and more this past summer. assured, showing charts of current area has enjoyed fairly abundant Some businesses and farms have and normal groundwater and rain compared to the rest of the

county, “but that water runs off to the northeast, not down to the Bay of Quinte.” What will happen to plastic water storage tanks replacing wells when freeze-up comes? Murphy wondered. Murphy admitted that there are no known emergency drought plans drafted to date to use as a guideline, but the authority has prepared some ideas for municipalities to follow and will be pleased to assist. “Please take this seriously,” he urged council.

Gardening - I CAN Do This!

Dan Clost This past week I strolled across a beautifully landscaped estate with a friend to talk about preparing gardens for the winter. She had never done this before and was concerned about being able to do it properly. By the of our little tour, she said, “I can do

this.” Of course she can. If you are a new gardener who finds themself responsible for an established landscape, arranging to walk the grounds with a seasoned gardener is a good idea. l Not only will they identify the plants but they will give you east to remember advice for their care. Gardening is not especially difficult, Gentle Reader, especially if you do a bit of planning before you do a bit of planting. I will assume that the basic design idea has been fleshed out so we’re going to talk about the plants. There are so many choices when it comes to plants that it can be overwhelming. At the nursery where I am employed, the Plant Reference Guide lists more than 3,200 choices. Other nurseries and garden centres in this area also have their own impressive inventories. How do you know what is best for your home?

A good way to start is to drive to an established neighbourhood in your area, park the car and go for a walk. You should be able to determine the age of the houses within a 5 year time frame which also means you can figure out how old the plants are. What do you see that appeals to you? Make notes. If you can’t identify it, ask the homeowners; you might be surprised at how pleased they are by your questions. Next, drive to a subdivision less than 5 years old and look for those same plants. If you find them, you might be dismayed at how small they are: refer to the notes of your first visit and remind yourself how big these chappies will become. By doing this, for example, you’ll only buy one shrub instead of three to fit into a space. You can also take a look at where “tender” plants thrive. Where do you see large, lush

Japanese Maples? Seldom will they be in the middle of an exposed lawn. How many mature tri-coloured beeches do you see? Divide your plant-spending money into two piles. Label one pile as discretionary; the other as disposable. The money in the latter can be used for a tricoloured beech. For sure, GR, I will receive many e-mails telling me that the sender has a beauty of a tri on their property; but, considering the numbers sold to the numbers that reach maturity, the disposable label remains. With this starting list of possible plants, hie thee to a nursery. We (and I gladly speak for the entire horticultural industry here) want you to be successful and happy with any plant or gardening product we sell you. Wen want to sell you more; we want to sell to your friends, to your children, to their children, the only way to do

that is to establish a relationship based on trust. I hope the new “kids” on the block are reading this. GR, the Millenials (aka “Millies”) are causing quite the kerfuffle amongst our marketing boffins. Seldom have I seen so much conflicting advice about attracting this group. Millies are diligent with research and it will be web-based with facts being checked against several sources. Then, similar attention will be focused on nurseries. One of the first items searched will be reviews- on the seller’s website, on Facebook and on any site referencing that particular nursery, - including local newspapers. Finally, they will go to a nursery and that is where the relationship begins. Gardening is easy and you CAN do it!
