Dad with PTSD one of ‘strongest people’ says son BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton - A teenager whose father has post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) opened up about how it has affected his family at a Remembrance Day assembly held at East Northumberland Secondary School. Craig Christensen's father, Lawrence, served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 28 years, going on missions in destinations that included Rwanda and Afghanistan. He was “significantly affected by the traumatic events of his military service” and today requires a service dog, Lynx, and other resources “to do things most people take for granted, like going grocery shopping or going to a movie.” Life before Lynx “was very, very different,” Craig said. “We didn't do things as a family at all ... Back then he wasn't a fun person to be around at times. He would be moody a lot and very grumpy at times, and it wasn't the best time for our family.” It was hard on Craig having a father who didn't want to do “fun things” with him. As he grew older he learned more about what his father was going through. He remembered his parents watching a documentary when a sol-

dier started talking about PTSD. When Craig asked his father if he had PTSD, not knowing what it was,“ he barely managed to get out the word, 'Yes,' before he started to cry.” That memory sticks out because it showed him his father, “one of the strongest people” he knows, “was so embarrassed (by) what he had that it brought him to tears to have to tell his son about it.” To his father it must have seemed like admitting “he was a failure.” Although over the years his father “became more OK with his son knowing” he had PTSD and he “shared more ... (it) still wasn't a great time for us.” That all changed when his father was given a service dog for free three years ago. Life is much better now for the family. “We do things together now and we are happier all around,” Craig said. He's also learned more about the conflicts his father experienced firsthand, “like the Rwandan genocide and the war against terrorism in Afghanistan.” “I still don't know everything about his struggles and I know I never will, but what I do know is that he hides a lot of all this

from the world and he hides it well,” Craig said. “To a lot of people he seems like a normal guy and without the service dog you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him and an accountant ... A lot of veterans today are like this.” He said his father has told him “he would do it all again in a heartbeat (despite) all the traumatic events, struggles and wars. Even though now he can't walk into a grocery store, a movie theatre or simply walk down the street in the city without his service dog, without being on the verge of breaking down. He would rather to through this as part of his life than not to have done his part to protect his country.” “This makes me so proud of my father and what he has done to ... make the place I call home a safe one.” Craig ended by telling the students he hoped his story helped them better understand why veterans deserve respect as well as thanks “for what they have given up and what they have sac- Craig Christensen with his father Lawrence. rificed.” John Campbell/Metroland Lawrence Christensen said “He's a wonderful young his father into military service afterwards he was “very, very and become an aerospace engiproud” of his son and what he man.” Craig said he wants to follow neer. had to say to his fellow students.

Cramahe losing one of its two physicians BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Cramahe Township – One of the municipality's two physicians is closing his practice. Dr. Steven Waring, a Cobourg native who had assumed the full-time practice of Dr. Trevor Hearnden when he retired in 2015, is going back to the United States where he had practised family medicine for 20 years. Cramahe Township Mayor Marc Coombs said his departure is “unfortunate.”

“If he's not replaced by the end of December ... over 1,500 patients” will be without a doctor, he said. -MAYOR MARC COOMBS

To lose one-half of the physicians in the community “is fairly significant.” Coombs sits on the West Northumberland Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee which learned of Waring's decision in October. The mayor said he's “positive (the committee) will fill the position eventually but the problem, of course, is the time frame. We have the greatest success when we're given a year.” The committee is working on finding a replacement but if that can't be done within the three months it was given, its

“secondary goal is to have what we call an interim access to care,” he said. “What that would look like we're not sure yet but it could possibly (be) an office with an RN,” Coombs said. It would “keep some kind of local presence going until the practice is filled again,” he said. “You want to have a fairly robust health-care system in place if you're going to try to attract people to move here,” as well as provide medical services for retirees, who are “the largest users of health care. They always like to know there's a doctor by.” The mayor also noted that Waring's staff won't have jobs any more at the end of the year. “That's not pleasant, obviously,” he said. Colborne's other physician is Dr. Iris Nolan. Coombs said one problem the committee faces in recruiting another doctor “is that young doctors, ones just graduating, don't typically want to go work in a standalone practice. They would prefer to have a practice where there are other doctors available (as part of a family health team).” The committee and the Trent Hills Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee have been working together on the task as well as in communication with the Local Health Integration Network and the Ministry of Health.

It’s Time. When you can’t keep up with all the appointments and errands. Let Seasons help.

“It all takes time,” Coombs said.

Lake Ontario will reach record-highs again, experts say BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – Lake Ontario water levels have varied considerably since 1918, from the record lows during the Great Depression to the record highs in the 1950s. “And that’s no surprise,” said Rob Caldwell, a regulation representative from the International Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Board. Even for scientists and experts, Mother Nature can often be difficult to predict. Following this year’s historic flooding events, Caldwell and others have often heard statements such as, “You must have known it was going to flood this year.” His simple answer is, “No, we didn’t.” At the start of 2017, Lake Ontario water levels were below average and looked a lot like they did in 2015 and 2016, said Caldwell. As water levels increased even after that and still early on in the year -- well, that also happened in 2016 and a significant drought followed, he said. So is it possible to predict what’s in store even in the near future, for this winter and into early 2018, or whether next year could be much like 2017?

Trying to reduce the Lake Ontario water level, even by a few centimetres is hard. It doesn’t take a whole lot of change through the outflows to have serious impacts downstream, said Caldwell. Plan 2014 is meant to set flows to balance the risk of flood damages, but while the plan tries to balance impacts, it cannot eliminate extreme weather like that experienced in 2017, the representatives said. Throughout the trio’s presentation, water levels from the last century were reviewed. A number of photographs, which showcased flooding and erosion impacts that occurred this year, were also displayed. The demonstration was meant to show that high water levels have occurred here before and this won’t be the last time. Looking at the Lake Ontario forecast period through to March 2018, “all we can say is that we really don’t what’s going to happen,” said Caldwell. For the week ending Nov. 10, and through to March 2018, the hope and expectation is that water levels will fall, but water levels could still rise this winter. Caldwell urged residents to remain diligent in the next few weeks. While Lake Ontario has dropped more than one metre below May’s peak, storms and winds this time of year can increase risk of shoreline damage, he said. Caldwell also tried to assure residents the board has heard people’s concerns. “We have seen the impacts of flooding and erosion around the system this year. Rest assured, you’re not alone. Folks downstream ... suffered through these impacts as well.” While just a few photographs were shown, thousands could have been, the trio said, with flooding this year impacting both sides of the border. For Ontario, Quebec and New York, 2017 has been an “extreme year, with extreme weather.” Such statements didn’t lessen the blows residents here have taken, though, and that much was clear as several spoke to their trials and concerns after the presentation. But the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River system is large, dynamic and complex. Both natural and human factors contribute to the range of water level conditions observed the past century, said Leger. Water levels are always changing and future water levels are uncertain, with hydroclimate conditions being the critical driver, she added.

Province kicks in funds to ‘enhance local health care’ BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — Ontario’s 2017 investments in interprofessional care were in the spotlight last week, as Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi made a stop at the Brighton Health Services Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 7. The province has committed more funds for local health care, hoping to enhance quality of care and access to services, those in attendance last Tuesday heard. During his stop, Rinaldi highlighted an additional new base funding of $270,154 for the Brighton-Quinte West Family Health Team (BQWFHT). The team will also receive an extra $28,300 in onetime support to improve health care services. “I’m very proud to have been at

the forefront of family health teams in Ontario,” said Rinaldi. “This investment continues to support a ‘full-circle’ approach to health care and will increase access to services for the entire community.” The BQWFHT currently provides care to almost 13,000 patients. There are currently 294 interprofessional care teams within Ontario that provide care to more than four million patients. The province has committed a total of $248.4 million in the next three years to support those existing teams and so new care teams can be created. “The Brighton-Quinte West Family Health Team remains a significant asset within this community and these additional funds will help with various staffing needs,” said Mayor Mark Walas.

for a number of reasons. “The past few years have seen significant growth in our patient population, as well as the recruitment of new physicians to the area,” said Wendy Parker, executive director. “The annual funding acknowledges the provision of highquality primary care to our patients and families, and responds to our need for increased programs and services in the Brighton, Colborne and Quinte West communities.” The purpose of health care teams is to bring together a diverse group of professionals to help meet the individual and often-complex needs of patients. Teams include professionals from all fields of health care, including doctors, social workers, nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists and more.

Since its inception with the first wave of family health teams in Ontario, the BQWFHT has worked hard to bring high-quality health care to its patient base and the organization has seen continuous growth, said Dr. Richard Wiginton, the lead physician with the team. “We have excellent governance and numerous clinical programs run by our dedicated and professional staff,” he said. “We are an increasingly utilized teaching site for undergraduate, medical resident and nurse practitioner training.” And it’s the quality of the team which has helped with successful recruitment of new physicians to the area, Wiginton insists. The doctor said the team is “very pleased to be recognized” by the province and “with our new and

significantly increased funding. We are careful and responsible stewards of Ontario taxpayer dollars and we look forward to the stability and opportunities for growth that our new funding will provide.” As warden for the county, Walas was also pleased to hear both the Trent Hills and Northumberland family health teams are seeing an increase in funding support. To support recruitment and retention, $79,600 in additional base funding has been dedicated for Trent Hills. The Northumberland team will receive a boost of $107,000 for recruitment and retention, $51,134 in additional base funding and $8,000 in one-time support to enhance quality and access to health care services.

Support for existing teams may include recruitment of new staff or funds may also be used to retain current workers. Ontario wants every region to have at least one health team in coming years. Of that $248.4 million, about $102 million is dedicated for expansion of care teams and about $145 million for the recruitment and retention of health care professionals. About $15 million will be invested for 2017-18. These investments, in addition to Ontario’s announcement that prescription medications will be free for all kids and youth 24 years old and younger, are said to be part of a provincial plan to increase access to care and will improve patient experience, as well as reduce wait times. For BQWFHT staffers, the investment is important

Brighton council looking closer at new wastewater plant BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – After another lengthy debate Monday, council doesn’t appear any less divided on how best to address its immediate ammonia problem. On Monday, Nov. 13, CAO Bill Watson presented an in-depth report at council’s request, which looked further at both the design and construction of a mechanical treatment plant. But, that didn’t stop Watson from reminding councillors of the gravity of Brighton’s current situation. “…We are under order by the MOE (Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate ), we are under investigation by the MOE around ammonia and we need to deal with the ammonia,” he told councillors Monday. “That should be our priority – that’s my professional opinion, as a P.Eng of over 20 years.” Council started its wastewater environmental assessment for the lagoon-based sewage treatment system some time ago now. It’s since been put into abeyance, as some councillors have raised concerns and as a result, continue to push for a mechanical treatment plant. Primary concerns have circulated around both capacity and proposed technology.

The last motion passed by council in a 4-3 vote prior to Monday, was that council approve inprinciple a plan to build a mechanical plant. In addition, the majority requested staff provide the necessary information and outline next steps in a report. This motion passed despite consultants’ recommendations that the preferred solution to Brighton’s current wastewater problems is not a mechanical plant and also despite provincial representatives concerns with the town’s “slowmoving progress.” Correspondence from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) outlining provincial support for consultants’ preferred solution has been made public. Because of the ongoing ammonia compliance issues, Brighton remains under a provincial officer’s order. “We have not seen a summary of public comments or rationale behind the decision made by the municipal council to put in abeyance the schedule ‘B’ EA process,” states Vicki Mitchell, regional EA co-ordinator for the MOECC Eastern Region in correspondence. It’s been made clear through correspondence, the length of time it’s taking to resolve the non-com-

Councillor John Martinello. pliance issue and the length of time it would take to complete the process to build a plant and to obtain funding for the project is causing concern.

“…If we’ve got capacity now and we only have one problem with exceedance, I just don’t understand…” she said. Tadman further worries building a plant too soon might mean it will be outdated by the time it’s really needed. The need to deal with the ammonia has been made very clear, said Watson. “…We’ve gone through the EA process and we have a good recommendation, it may not be the recommendation that all of council wants, but it is a recommendation from a reputable company, who’s done quite a bit of homework on it and I think we need to proceed with it,” he said. Nevertheless, the CAO proceeded with his report Monday, as per council’s direction. Brighton has some catch-up and some homework to do, before implementing a mechanical plant. Watson said it’s a lot like buying a bus, while trying to put things in perspective. First, you would need to know how many seats are needSarah Hyatt/Metroland ed, before putting out the tender.

He’s done his own re-

search and his findings don’t match Watson’s, he said. Martinello questioned everything from the acres needed to build the plant, to the estimated construction costs. Councillor Brian Ostrander expressed similar concerns with estimates. Though, said the CAO, that’s why Watson has recommended further study, so there are fewer questions, he said. Deputy Mayor Laura Vink acknowledged the report had “a lot of shoulds, maybes and coulds, because we haven’t done the studies. “And, at this point, I’m not interested in building a plant that we don’t need or we’re not sure if we need. I really want us to focus on what we need to do now, in order to be in compliance and move forward from there with these studies.” Martinello and Ostrander, alongside Councillor Roger McMurray persisted to express the need for guaranteed and “reliable” technology, which they believe a mechanical plant, provides the most assurance. Martinello continues to maintain he was always led to believe a schedule ‘C’ EA should be completed. (A schedule ‘C’ EA focuses on new plants and expansion of capacity). Brighton undertook a schedule ‘B’ EA, as consultants determined capacity didn’t need to be increased. The fact that most neighbouring municipalities have a mechanical plant is noteworthy for McMurray, who also doesn’t anticipate costs in the $25-million range. It will be costly and take time, but a decade has already gone by with little or no improvement, said McMurray, who actually reproduced a large-scale chart showcasing exceedance issues since 2005. “That’s why I want a mechanical plant, I want something that works, works well and all the time,” he told those in attendance. “…We need to do it now.” Meanwhile, Watson reports about 48 per cent of 400 communities in Ontario, all with a population of between 5-25,000 have lagoon-based systems.

OPINION

DisGrace in Zimbabwe Grace Mugabe, second wife of Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe, had a moment of awful clarity about her future three years ago. Speaking about Joice Mujuru, the woman who was then viceand the Gwynne Dyer president elderly president’s likely successor, she said: “She has been telling people that once Mugabe is gone ... she will drag me in the streets, with people laughing while my flesh sticks to the tarmac.” It’s doubtful that Mujuru said any such thing, but it was very revealing about Grace Mugabe’s fears. So she had a word with her husband, and Joice Mujuru was no longer vice-president. She was replaced by Emmerson Mnangagwa, who served as Mugabe’s special assistant during the liberation war of the 1970s and had been close to him ever since. Mnangagwa survived an attempted poisoning in August, but now he is gone too. People began to see him as the heir apparent, so on Sunday Grace Mugabe told a rally in Harare “The snake must be hit on the head. We must deal with the real snake behind the factions and discord in the party.” Last Monday, Mnangagwa was fired in an official statement that accused him of “traits of disloyalty.” It was almost verbatim the same statement that was issued when Joice Mujuru was dismissed in 2014 – and it is expected that Grace Mugabe will be appointed vice-president herself at a special congress of the ruling Zanu-PF party next month. It looks like ambition run amok, but it’s actually more complicated than that. She is rich and powerful at the moment, but as Zimbabwean journalist Andy Moyse pointed out a couple of years ago: “She’s going to be terribly exposed once (Robert Mugabe) is gone because there’s no political structure to save her. She’s trying to entrench her position and her assets.” Grace Marufu was a 20-year-old typist at State House in Harare when Robert Mugabe, 44 years her senior, started to take an interest in her. She was already married to her childhood sweetheart, an air force pilot, but one thing led to another and she had her first child with Mugabe as his wife lay dying of kidney failure. She later divorced her husband, and in 1996 she became Zimbabwe’s ‘First Lady’ by marrying Mugabe.

For the next 18 years she took no visible interest in politics, but her frequent and expensive shopping trips abroad – she allegedly once spent $120,000 in a single day in Paris, and she was spotted in the business class lounge at Singapore airport with fifteen trolleys full of purchases – made her deeply unpopular with the Zimbabwean public. She was known as the ‘First Shopper’, or ‘Gucci Grace’, or just ‘DisGrace’. And then, three years ago, everything changed. It was probably just Mugabe’s advancing age that made her realize how vulnerable she would be after he died. He’s in pretty good shape for 93, but he clearly isn’t going to be around much longer. So she suddenly plunged into politics. She had her husband make her the head of the powerful women’s league of the ruling Zanu-PF party, she was awarded a PhD in sociology by the University of Zimbabwe in the record time of two months (no thesis has ever surfaced), and Dr. Grace Mugabe started traveling around the country holding rallies that became known as the ‘Graceland Tour’. All the senior members of Zanu-PF are quite rich, but she is probably the richest of all, so she has resources to buy allies. She has the Old Man wrapped around her finger, and he holds absolute power for as long as he stays alive and alert. In only three years she has shoved aside all the other contenders for the succession. “They say I want to be president,” she said. “Why not? Am I not Zimbabwean?” And president she will be after Robert Mugabe dies – at least for a week or two. But she has made a lot of enemies in the party, and she has no real popular support. Grace Mugabe is literally a bare-knuckle fighter. In 2002 she beat up a journalist who offended her using a “knuckle-duster of diamond rings”, as one report put it. Just this September she assaulted a young South African “model” whom she caught visiting her grown sons, who are both living the high life in Johannesburg. She won’t go down easily – but she almost certainly will go down. It was not Grace Mugabe who turned Zimbabwe into an economic wreck so extreme that most people’s main source of income is remittances from the fifth of the Zimbabwean population that has fled to South Africa or Botswana. Her husband is really to blame for this human disaster, but her extravagant spending makes her a target for the resentment too. Once he dies, she will be lucky to get out alive.

Crash pundits, a hockey great and Vimy oaks Editorial by Chris Malette Some observations from the Editor’s Desk: In news items over the past week, we’ve seen some interesting, if not troubling, trends in social media, some sad milestones and a poignant gesture, the legacy of which will be experienced, hopefully, for generations to come. First off, in Belleville we had a violent crash involving an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser and a civilian vehicle, a sedan, on Dundas Street West at Sidney Street late last Thursday night. Your humble correspondent has covered countless car wrecks, too many of them fatal, over the years and this was a horrific impact – so much so that, had this collision involved vehicles on the road some 25-30 years ago, we would be talking about fatalities to most involved. As it was, there were five people hurt – three of them seriously, two of those three police officers who were in a large Ford sport utility vehicle. That vehicle wound up against a concrete utility pole and the occupants, the two coppers and a prisoner, were all taken to hospital. The driver of the other vehicle in this head-on wreck, not surprisingly, was also seriously hurt. When we posted this item to our website, it appeared on other forums in the form of a news item with the photograph accompanying it. The comments, while mostly respectful and observational, naturally veered to the cruel, the ignorant and the obscene. A classic example of the seeming nonchalant habit of too many online pundits, these days, to simply spew their ill-bred, ill-informed opinions thusly: “Probably the cops fault. They don’t follow the law either. I’ve seen many use there (sic) phones while driving. Not wear seat belt. Pull through a light quick with lights on then turn them off. Etc. The list goes on.. so u really never know whose (sic) at fault. We got rear ended by a cop in tweed 5 years ago. Brutal!” To which someone who supports police quickly responded: “Wow....didn’t take long for the “blame the cops” “it must have been the speeding cop” “cops will get away with it” “cops fault probably” comments to start pouring in. Pathetic! Police officers aren’t perfect. They’re human beings and they’re flawed just like every other single human being on the face of this earth ...” You get the idea. It can sometimes make your head spin to wade into the miasma that is the comments under news items on the Internet.

Still, it’s a necessary evil as we’re told this, ladies and gentlemen, is the future of our news reporting where everyone’s a pundit and the traditional news gatherers – us – are no longer to be trusted or believed to bring you the whole story…. Sigh. ••• It was with heavy hearts, for some of us who know the family or who, of a certain age, recall the sheer joy and pride that the hockey McFarlands brought to the region half a century ago when we learned of the passing of the team and family’s leader, Floyd Crawford. Floyd died early Saturday morning surrounded by family members at age 88 and boy what a family it is. Floyd’s hockey exploits have been extolled for decades in these parts, but it’s the legacy he leaves in his sons and daughters that many of us now know. As we reported this week, Floyd and wife Pauline raised nine rambunctious, athletic and terrific children in Belleville. Many of those nine have stayed on in these parts to bring on another generation of Crawfords and, it says here, we’re the better for it. Here’s to a terrific family and Cheers to a hockey hero and a mentor to many a young hockey player in these parts. ••• Finally, we saw this past week the planting of the last of four Vimy Oaks in these parts. Fascinating story behind them and let’s hope they fluourish, grow and serve as a silent sentinel for those who gave the final sacrifice at Vimy Ridge in the First War. As the story goes, to serve as a keepsake from his term of service, a Canadian soldier, Lt. Leslie Miller, removed acorns from a fallen oak tree at Vimy Ridge. He sent these home to be planted, on his farm, in Scarborough where the trees eventually flourished and were named The Vimy Oaks. The saplings produced from The Vimy Oaks will be used to replenish the Vimy Foundation Centennial Park, in France, and also serve as commemorative trees all across Canada. Four Vimy Oak saplings were planted across the Bay of Quinte, in Bain Park, in Quinte West; Wellington Park, in Prince Edward County; Albert College, in Belleville; and Belleville’s Memorial Park. Let’s hope they fare better than the Royal Oak that was allowed to wither and die on the parking lot of what is now the Metro Store plaza on North Front Street in Belleville.

Scaffolding 69-feet-high and surrounding the Presqu’ile lighthouse will remain throughout the winter months and until new shakes are put on in 2018.

WINTER TIRE PACKAGE

Brighton –The Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society’s 2017 pilot project has essentially reached its end. The earlier than anticipated finish however comes with both some good and bad news, as the process hasn’t gone as smoothly as hoped, Dave Sharp, the society’s chair reports. “The big focus will now be to continue to work with Ontario Parks to put the protective shakes back on the lighthouse and to install the cupola,” said Sharp. Part of the good news is that restoring the protective shakes was sort of already on the agenda. Also, with the latest findings, the overall costs of restoration efforts should be much lower and the project most likely completed quicker. The bad news is experiments in mortar injection and for the original limestone structure will not go ahead. The limestone structure is said to be “too cracked and damaged.” Toward the end of October and due to the findings at that time, all parties involved in the pilot project agreed to stop work on the lighthouse. Tests like the low-pressure injection of new grouting or the use of ground penetrating resonance equipment were not done and will not be completed. The heritage engineer and consultant “felt there was no benefit in continuing with these,” said Sharp. The society will continue with its project to ensure the lighthouse remains standing 150 years from now, just with a “more defined route.” “We always knew … we would end up with a lighthouse that would have either the original limestone walls with no shakes or the lighthouse would be covered with new shakes,” Sharp recently wrote to online followers. “And now, there is no question — the lighthouse will be covered with white shakes.” With the announcement that work would stop on the lighthouse, the society posted several photos online. Photos showed “severe cracking at all heights of the lighthouse,” and missing and deteriorated mortar. The study found deep cracking of the limestone structure in several areas of the lighthouse, in addition to the severe cracking at the top of the arched windows. One of the biggest challenges will now be the “significant rental costs” associated with the scaffolding, said Sharp. Back in September, contractors erected scaffolding 69-feet-high and it will now have to remain throughout the winter, given the time of year and the lack of availability of suitable shakes. Costs for the shingles are also looking like they’ll be a lot higher than originally expected, but the society has nothing in writing just yet, noted Sharp. Because of all this, it’s difficult to pinpoint how much work it will now cost. The lighthouse is not in danger of falling down, stressed Sharp. The wooden girdle is in far better shape than predicted. It appears to have stood the test of time, showing no evidence of wood rot or weakness — it’s doing the intended job, said the chair. It’s now believed much of the cracking may have already happened prior to when the girdle was installed in 1894. The supporting metal rods that were found surrounding the lighthouse also show no rusting or deterioration. Considering all this and despite some cost savings in the pilot project, fundraising must go on, said Sharp. Erecting the scaffolding was a major chunk of the pilot project budget and rental and dismantling costs are still to come. Some modifications may also be needed for winter. Then there will be the costs for the shakes and labour. When the shakes go up, the society would still like to have the original Gothic arches restored. There’s also the installation of a new cupola atop the lighthouse. The cost remains unknown, but word is the society may have a potential donor, if the replacement proceeds. The heritage engineer should be finishing his study on this soon. This Christmas, Sharp is asking residents to consider becoming a ‘lifetime member’ with the society. A donation of $500 is required, but people who’ve already made smaller donations can use those funds to reach that $500-total. “There may not be a better Christmas present you can give yourself or your family knowing you have played an important role in restoring the lighthouse,” said Sharp. A donor wall will be erected upon completion of the project, so those who’ve financially supported the lighthouse will be publicly recognized. Donations are always welcome and in 2018, the society will continue with its annual membership drives and other fundraising

Celebrated Inuit tells students to challenge themselves

Growing up Johnny Issaluk played different Inuit games that built up agility, strength and endurance. He invited students onstage, such as Hunter Hoyle, to test their mettle against him. John Campbell/Metroland

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton — Johnny Issaluk is many things, and most of them were on display when the celebrated Inuit athlete and youth mentor spoke at East Northumberland Secondary School this week. Issaluk, who lives in the small arctic hamlet of Igluligaarjuk (also known as Chesterfield Inlet), grew up learning the traditions of his Inuit people, hunting, fishing and camping with his elders. He has worked with various organizations that deal with mental health issues, suicide prevention and healing. He's also served as an arctic ambassador and spokesperson for arctic stewardship through his involvement with the internationally renowned educational program, Students On Ice. Issaluk, 44, who has won more than 200 medals at regional, national and international athletic competitions, has pursued a career in acting in recent years. He has appeared in movies (including Indian Horse, about a residential school survivor, which premiered at this year's Toronto International Film Festival), in a play (Breathing Hole, performed at Stratford last summer) and on TV (Murdoch Mysteries). In an interview before his second presentation on Nov. 7, Issaluk said that in talking about his life in a remote community, he's "an example of what's accomplishable.” His experience shows “the possibilities out there could be endless,” and he has delivered his message of hope to about 400 schools in southern Ontario in the past five years. “It's always a very positive feedback” that he gets. “You can tell the youth are fascinated by it.” He spoke about surviving a gunshot wound in a hunting mishap that ruptured his liver and spleen, missing his heart by an inch, and having his snowmobile plunge through the ice in -30 C weather. He also had a close encounter with a polar bear when he was 12. “I'm a very proud Inuit and I'm a very proud Canadian,” he told the students. “Follow your dreams” and “always challenge yourself” by learning new things, he said. “No matter what we go through, good or bad,

right or wrong, we have to live our lives the best way we know how.” And while family, friends and teachers might believe in you, it's “more important ... that you believe in yourself,” he said. Issaluk's presentation to East Northumberland took place during Treaties Recognition Week, an initiative introduced last year by the Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation to bring awareness to the treaty relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in the province, both in schools and in the broader public. It's “really honouring and celebrating Indigenous people throughout the province,” as well as explaining their relationship with the government and treaties, said Mary Ellen Gucciardi, a former Indigenous education consultant who works with Issaluk. “It's a slow-moving process, but I feel we are definitely making strides in helping people have a better understanding of our history.” That growing awareness “is huge for students because it sparks curiosity,” Gucciardi said. Issaluk's talk also took place on International Inuit Day, which celebrates the birth of his territory, Nunavut, the largest land mass in Canada, with a population of 35,000 in 29 communities. Gucciardi said Indigenous people are speaking out more about their culture and place in Canadian society than ever before, after “they weren't given a voice, and were stopped and shut down and silenced” over hundreds of years, especially during that terrible period when their young were sent to residential schools and suffered systemic abuse. Issaluk said prejudice directed at Indigenous people is “still happening,” but it's “more hidden” than what it used to be. “We shouldn't have to fight (it), we should just be accepted as who we are,” he said. “We are all humans, no matter ... where we come from.” “It's 2017 ... and we're still fighting the stupidness.” Nonetheless, he sees “a lot of progression” being made because of legislation that has been passed to

100 Women Brighton conclude 2017 with donation to Sunny Days BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — The Sunny Days Day Program is getting a financial boost, thanks to the 100 Women Who Care Brighton Chapter. The women hosted their fourth and final meeting of the year last week and have donated $3,700 to the Sunny Days group. “We were very pleased to award the grant to Sunny Days Day Program and such a worthwhile organization,” said Priscilla Courtenay, one of four founding members of the 100 Women group. “Rick and Suzanne Chapman have worked tirelessly with kindness and dedication to help youth and young adults with a variety of disabilities.” The Chapmans founded the Sunny Days group and remain strong advocates for people with both developmental and intellectual disabilities. Their organization stands to ensure people with disabilities have appropriate access to support services and aims to also increase quality of life for those in the program. With membership increasing to 74 as of the latest meeting, this is the largest donation the group has made this year. “We had 13 new members this meeting, so we should be close to our goal of 100 soon,” said an excited Rachel Young, another founding member of the group. The dedicated group of local women will continue to push to promote positive change in their community, starting up again in March 2018. Previous donations this year have gone to the Beacon Youth Centre, the Community Care Northumberland (CCN) Brighton branch and to Nathan Kelly and his family, to help with medical costs as the Col-

borne resident is battling Hodgkin lymphoma. Representatives from the nominated charities speak at every meeting, sharing a bit about what organizations do and what they stand to accomplish. Increasing visibility and awareness for local charities is something the women are equally passionate about, say founders of the group. The founding members also continue to remind charities, those that are nominated but do not receive a grant shouldn’t lose hope, as those charities can still be nominated again at a later meeting. Last week’s meeting was very “heartwarming,” with Phil Kelly in attendance to receive the cheque for his son, Nathan, said Courtenay. During his visit, Phil also brought good news, saying Nathan’s doctor “is very pleased with his progress at this time.” Gail Ellis, wellness program co-ordinator for the CCN Brighton branch, also visited with the group and talked about how the women’s donations have made an impact for the Brighton community. Overall, the meeting went extremely well, said Courtenay, and was a nice conclusion to the group’s first year. Plans are in the works for an information session in early 2018, which will take place prior to the group’s regular quarterly meetings resuming in March. Women interested in joining the group may chose to sign up in advance at the information session. Courtenay said the group is eager to see what 2018 will have in store and hopes by that time, the group’s goal of rallying 100 women together, so even larger grants can be made, will be achieved.

Leos support dog guides with Christmas gifts for pets BY SARAH HAYATT

Brighton — For people in need of a dog guide, the youth of Brighton are in your corner, says Sarah Pennington. Pennington is a Grade 11 student at East Northumberland Secondary School and the president of the Brighton Leos, a youth group of the Lions Foundation of Canada. Leos are once again working to support the Lions’ Dog Guides program this holiday season. “The money we raise goes to help the Lions’ Adopt a Puppy Program and I think last year we raised somewhere around $3,000,” said Pennington. “We would really like to raise a little more this year to help those in need and so more people can be paired with a dog.” Leos have been hard at work for weeks, wrapping hundreds of Christmas presents for cats and dogs, which the group will be selling to support the dog guides program. The Lions foundation currently has six programs in place, which help Canadians with disabilities “to find greater independence, mobility and safety through the help of a dog guide.” It’s pretty remarkable what these dogs and the foundation do, said Pennington. Service dogs trained through the foundation can help people who are blind or visually impaired, people who are deaf or hard of hearing, people with physical disabilities, epilepsy and diabetes, as well as kids who have autism spectrum disorder. And the costs for training just one of these

dogs is huge, notes Nancy Bahniuk, one of two club advisers. Costs to train a single dog guide are in the $30,000-$35,000 range. Some training is often further tailored to meet the specific needs of a future handler. But the cost to people paired with dogs is nothing and that’s what is special about the foundation’s work, said Pennington. In the final stage of training, a person

In the meantime, youth are asking Brightonians to support their work and the cause, with the purchase of either a $5 or $7 Christmas present for cats and dogs. Presents include foods, treats and toys. Costs did go up by $1 for each of the bundles and that’s because the group would “like to raise just a little bit more for the foundation,” said Pennington. Through fundraising activities, youth bought some of the pet food and toys that will be sold. As this year’s sponsor, the Trenton Pet Valu has donated much of the food and toys. To put the quantity of product donated and youth’s work in perspective, some 350 bundles — 200 for dogs and 150 for cats — will be sold. As outlined above, each bundle comes with food, treats and toys, with 100 per cent of sales going to the foundation. Love Em’s Pet Food &amp; Supplies was the sponsor the last five years, up until 2017 and the club remains grateful for the many donations made over those five years, said Bahniuk. Leos will be at the Brighton Sobeys on Saturday, Nov. 25 and Saturday, Dec. 9, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. to sell their presents. On Dec. 9, a representative from the foundation and a dog guide will also be on hand around noon, so people can better understand the impact they will have when purchasing one of these gifts for their pets, said Bahniuk. The funds kids raise will primarily go to help with first-year medical costs for dog

paired with a dog will train and live together at the Lions’ Oakville facility for about two to four weeks. This ensures the pair is prepared and bonded before a person returns home with their new companion. Leos visit the Oakville facility usually once a year to see up-close how the foundation works. Pennington is one of many hopeful to see the facility, when the club and others visit guides, said Bahniuk. in early 2018.

Campaign calls for end to violence against women BY SARAH HYATT

Northumberland — Residents here are being asked to show their support for women who’ve endured abuse and for those trying to break free from abuse. As November marks Women Abuse Prevention Month, the Cornerstone Family Violence Prevention Centre has announced the return of its Wrapped In Courage campaign and is calling on all residents for help. The Canadian Women’s Foundation reports half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual violence since the age of 16. Some 67 per cent of Canadians say they have personally known at least one woman who has experienced physical or sexual abuse. “It takes the strength of an entire community to end violence against women,” said Nancy Johnston, executive director of the centre. The Wrapped in Courage campaign returns this month, asking communities to take a united stand against violence toward women. “We are grateful that Cornerstone has received tremendous support across Northumberland County, but there is still much to be done,” said Johnston. Johnston is one of many who have hope for the future. “I am confident that with the community’s support, we can create a violence-free future and a place where hope can take root and grow,” she said. The Wrapped In Courage campaign also aims to gives shelters and organizations across Ontario the opportunity to engage their communities about violence against women. All Canadians pay a steep price for violence against women and to deal with aftermath of spousal violence, the Canadian Women’s Foundation reports. Federal

investigations and statistics have cited detailed estimates of the economic impact of spousal violence in the billions year after year. Spousal violence has been consistently identified as one of the most common forms of violence against women in Canada. Here in Northumberland, the Cornerstone group is asking both men and women to buy a purple scarf to “symbolize the courage it takes for a woman to leave her abuser and the strength it takes for a community to support her.” Those who sport the purple scarf can show women who have experienced abuse and their children, they do not stand alone. In 2013, the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses began the campaign to coincide with Women Abuse Prevention Month, wanting to provide a symbol of the courage it takes for a woman to leave her abuser — but with the symbol, came the statement that often courage alone is not enough. This is why the group is calling on Northumberland communities to come together this month. The Wrapped In Courage campaign runs from Nov. 1 to Dec. 6 and also serves as a fundraiser for the centre. Those wishing to participate may chose to sport the traditional purple scarf for $15 or a purple tie for $20. New this year, square scarves are also an option for $20. Scarves are available for purchase at the centre and both the Cobourg and Port Hope We-Fix-U locations. People can also contact Carly Cunningham by phone at 905-372-1545 ext. 236, or email ccunningham@cornerstonenorthumberland.ca to purchase a purple scarf. Residents are asked to send out a message of support for abused women and their children, by wearing the purple scarf or tie on Nov. 25, as it marks the International Day to Eliminate Violence Against Women.

Len and Lil Chater are living examples of Brighton’s motto, Where the past greets the future. Len was born on a naval base in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. At 21, he moved to Toronto where he met his future wife Lil, born in Thornhill. After 46 years and raising three daughters, the couple retired to Brighton a year ago. “I pointed us here,” said Lil. “In Toronto, the traffic was too stressful and getting worse. We got a map out and circled how far out we were willing to go. When we saw Brighton it was ‘wow.’ It reminded me of home back in the day. People actually talk to us here, they smile and make you feel welcome.” Len added, “We wanted country style but not secluded, and have some neighbours. Going west or north didn’t look so good, east was looking good and south we didn’t know how to swim.” (Laughing.) The couple had never owned a garage, and wanted one to pursue their retirement passion: They buy vintage cars that are in scrapyard condition and then restore them. They each drive two beauties: She, a 1966 Volkswagen and a 1970 MG Midget. He, a 1969 Triumph GT6 and a 1976 Gremlin he bought for $100. “There is a tremendous sense of achievement in reviving a piece of junk,” said Len. “It’s also a good way to meet people, (especially) at car shows. On the 401, people want to have a conversation with me moving at 100 km per hour.” Len and Lil are a team. She searches for parts and test drives his work. He said, “She is the test pilot. Good, because I don’t trust my own work. I wouldn’t get in it.”

(More laughter.) As part of the Brighton Car Club, the Chaters take their polished gems to shows in Brighton every Monday night and raise money for charity. They also go to old age homes. The residents love the nostalgia. Len has just hauled in another “ugly duckling” Gremlin, and cut off the front end. He intends to transform the remaining cabin into a sleep trailer with a double bed, paint it the same colour and hitch it to his other Gremlin. Lil calls the pairing, “a gremlin and a half,” She said, “Coming here was the best thing we ever did. I love our neighbours, and can’t get over how everyone waves at us.” He said, “My city kids love coming out here to visit, like going to the country. I am going to build a tree house for the grandkids. (He liked my suggestion of using a Gremlin.) And I like the small town Mayberry feel.” (Not the first time I’ve heard that reference.) Author’s Note: Since arriving here, I have interviewed hundreds of Brightonians, and have been enchanted by the colourful diversity that resides here in a melting pot of people born here and the many who have happily arrived for the rest of their lives. Brighton is famous as being one of the friendliest towns in a broad circle. Lil and Len Chater, like the old cars that they have given a new life to, are reinventing themselves in the open diversity and charm of Brighton. We are all Brighton’s Own, both old and new. Like the sign says: ‘Where the past greets the future’. (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people; victorschukov@ gmail.com )

Students spread peace around the world

Businesses making major investments in Cramahe BY JOHN CAMPBELL

John Campbell/Metroland

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton — Holly Tetzlaff began her Peace Crane Project seven years ago when she was in Grade 5 and she and her classmates mailed hundreds of origami versions of the bird around the world on Remembrance Day. They were sent “to promote peace and to remember the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve to protect our rights and freedoms,” the Grade 12 student told a Remembrance Day assembly held on Nov. 10 at East Northumberland Secondary School. Each recipient was asked to keep the crane for a couple of days and then forward it to someone else, a task that was to be repeated until the following June when the crane was to be returned to the student who folded it. The project was an immediate success, with cranes being returned with messages of global peace, Tetzlaff said. Being a member of a military family, she had “wanted to do something special for Remembrance Day,” and she had taken as her inspiration Sadako Sasaki, a Japanese girl who became ill after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in the Second World War.

2017-2018

SEASON

Drawing on a legend in her country, she attempted to fold 1,000 paper cranes with the help of her father but died well short of her goal at age 12 in 1955. Her family and classmates folded the remainder, and continued to do so in the years that followed, which led to the origami paper crane being recognized as an international symbol of peace. This year, with the help of Nancy Wilson, the school librarian, as her staff adviser, Tetzlaff, 17, “took the outreach for peace schoolwide for the first time ever.” Students, ENSS staff, graduates and retired teachers joined in and added the goal of folding 1,000 cranes to hang in the school library. More than 300 letters were mailed out to people around the world, many of them famous, including United States President Donald Trump, and there have been spinoff projects, such as teaching elementary school students to fold 150 cranes for Canada's 150th anniversary. Tetzlaff said an appreciation assembly will be held next June as a followup to the school's peace crane story. Maps in the library display where the “ENSS cranes have landed, spreading the message of peace.” The students overshot the goal of 1,000 folded white cranes by almost 200, which the school donated to Royal Canadian Legion Branch 100.

The BELLEVILLE THEATRE GUILD is looking for female performers ages 20-40 for the Daniel MacIvor play MARION BRIDGE. Auditions will be held November 25th & 26th (at 2 pm) at the Pinnacle Playhouse Rehearsals begin in December; the show runs February 1st-17th 2018.

Catering agreement to be re-evaluated BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Cramahe Township – Council will be looking to make changes in the hosting of events at the Keeler Centre. The municipality currently has agreements with two local catering companies that it signed in 2015. A staff report prepared by chief administrative officer Craig Brooks said the two businesses, Black Dress Catering and King's Plate Catering, “have provided great service” but a new arrangement is needed “to increase usership at the Kee-

metres. It manufactures a variety of industrial racking and storage systems. The expansion will “add more capacity for production,” Coombs said. In other news related to economic development, the mayor attended the grand re-opening of the Foodland supermarket in Colborne. “They spent lots of money redoing that store,” he said. “It's another really good sign when you have a company, Sobeys, investing hundreds and hundreds of thousands into a store in the community.” In remarks he prepared for a presentation formally thanking Sobeys and franchises Peter and Tanya Armstrong for their commitment to the area, Coombs said their investment “is a real indicator ... that we are on the right track.” “Cramahe is in the beginning of unprecedented development,” with several plans of subdivision “working their way through the planning process that will increase the size of the residential population of the village by almost 30 per cent.” And several more residential developments are in the works, he added. There's also been a “boom in commercial development” -- Colborne has been “close to a zero per cent vacancy rate for retain businesses for the past several

ler Centre.” Black Dress and King's Plate are the exclusive providers of food at events and that has become a problem. In the past three years “we have had many inquiries about renting out the Keeler Centre for smaller private functions but prospective renters have declined as they were not able to have a small pizza party or bring in their own food and snacks,” Brooks wrote. “Also, larger organizers have also found it limiting by not being able to bring in their own food service provider in which they have a pre-existing affiliation with.” Brooks recommended the agreements, which expire Aug. 31, 2018 be terminated in January, but council decided to keep them in place until the contract comes to an end. However, staff was directed to look at “a better way” of handling smaller events, Mayor Marc Coombs said. “We've lost a fair number of small groups (who) don't really need a caterer,” Coombs said. “Council realized we need to be a little more flexible on that end of it,” because the goal is to have the hall used more, to generate income and “help offset costs that the taxpayers have to bear.” The caterers “understand there are situations that don't make sense for them to be involved in. It's not like they're losing the business because we're not getting it anyway.” Staff will come up with a plan in consultation with the caterers “that makes sense for everybody,” and get small groups using the centre again, R0013003009

Cramahe Township – Two local manufacturers are making plans to significantly grow their operations. Canada Colours and Chemicals (CCC) Ltd. plans to enlarge its 4,0620-square metre building at 263 Purdy Rd. by half with an option to build a second addition in future that would effectively double in size what's there now on the 7.5 hectare property. “It's great news for us because that really shows they're confident of the future and they're committed to growing here in Colborne,” Mayor Marc Coombs said. CCC Plastics is one of the largest independent chemical distributors in Canada, specializing in prime resins and colour concentrates used in the thermoplastic market. It has numerous warehouses across Canada but its colour concentrate plant is located in Colborne. Coombs said CCC “will be adding more people” but no estimates were given out as to how many jobs would be created. “There's the potential for adding more equipment into the plant with the extra space,” Coombs said, and “more lines generally means more employees. The parent company's willingness to invest money in the local plant shows that it's “being well run and it's profitable.” Storrack Ltd. has also asked for site plan approval to construct a 3,298-square metre addition at 73 Victoria St. The existing principal building is 12,172 square

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Councillor ramps up war of words on Walas Re: “Clock runs out on fractured council;” Brighton Independent, Nov 9, 2017 It is time-tested truth – and my own experience - that leadership starts at the top and that it is the leader that sets the tone and tenor of an organization. And the photo of Mayor Walas embedded in your article points to exactly where the fracture on Council starts. At the top. With Mayor Walas. No matter how much he will deny it and blame others - and he will - the fracture starts with the failed leadership depicted in that photo. My main concern with your article is that it misses the crux of the issue. Walas may think that ending the meeting was “playing politics.” But the simple fact is that the Nov 6 Council meeting was ended by Council in accordance with rules that allow Council to end a meeting. And Walas’ claim of “playing politics” is flimsy cover for his pernicious and failed attempts to ignore the Councilapproved agenda and suppress public involvement in this meeting.Walas’ first attempt to suppress public involvement came when he asked Council if we should allow the public to question the International Lake Ontario St Lawrence River Board (ILOSLRB) personnel who had come to a “Statutory Public Meeting” to speak to the public about this year’s high water levels on Lake Ontario. This was a jaw-dropper for me. A “Statutory Public Meeting” is designed – and included in an agenda - to allow the public to ask questions from the floor. It was the main reason for inviting the ILOSLRB personnel to the meeting. And after 7 years of collecting pay as a Mayor, Walas could present no reasonable or credible excuse

for not knowing this. Fortunately – for the protection of democracy and due process in Brighton – Council ignored Walas’ request.Walas’ second attempt to suppress public involvement came when he stated that a motion of reconsideration would be required for Mr. & Mrs. Wall to present their delegation about ongoing and unresolved issues with one of Walas’ fellow developer/builders. The Wall’s delegation had been clearly included - for anybody that cared to look – at paragraph 7 of the agenda that had been approved by all of Council, including Walas, at the start of the meeting. Again this was a jaw-dropper for me. An approved agenda is the order of business for a Council meeting. And once again, after 7 years of collecting pay as a Mayor, Walas could present no reasonable or credible excuse for not knowing this. Fortunately – for the Walls and the preservation of democracy and due process in Brighton – Council, once again, ignored Walas. It was disappointing that your article did not report Walas’ pernicious and failed attempts to suppress Council-approved public involvement in the November 6 Council meeting. I had always thought of newspapers as an important part of the freedom of speech and expression that are essential to democracy and good governance. I had always thought that a newspaper would be more concerned about the suppression of public involvement – and its associated abuse or power and authority – in the democratic process than it would be in reporting failed and feeble excuses for that abuse of power and authority. John Martinello, Brighton

Election shenanigans top getting the job done Reading the Independent’s Nov. 9 article “Clock runs out on fractured council,” I was appalled at the behaviour of what appears to be a disruptive clique in forcing termination of the Nov. 6 meeting before staff reports dealing with the Council proposed plan to build a mechanical waste water treatment plant, rather than upgrade the existing plant, could be discussed. Seeing as those Council members that forced closure of the meeting were the very same members that had insisted on giving top priority to the reports in the first place suggests that there are political calculations

Review of 2017 flooding in the works BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — Following this year’s flooding events, a plan is in motion to look at the potential for improving future water level regulation, says Wendy Leger. Leger is the Canadian co-chairwoman for the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence adaptive management committee. She visited Brighton recently, alongside regulation representatives from the International Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Board. “ … A system as large and as dynamic as the Great Lakes system is always changing, sometimes in ways we can’t even imagine, let alone predict,” said Leger. But, that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t try. There is always more to learn and that’s the point of adaptive management, said Leger. The committee plans to thoroughly examine this year’s flooding events. A key focus of the committee’s attention will be to complete an annual report now, which will serve as an “after high water levels summary,” said Leger. It’s only through the continuation of monitoring and assessment, by tracking changes over time, that “we can improve our tools … and be sure that the regulation plan implemented is performing as expected or test that,” she explained. Attendees at the meeting heard the regulation of flows by the board can have a limited effect on lake levels, especially during periods of extremely wet weather. Still, as part of the annual report, the regulation plan in place, the outflows and decisions made by the board throughout the high water level period will be examined further. The committee will also run a simulation of the former regulation plan and look at whether that, alternative conditions or different flows would have made a difference this year. And that’s not all the committee will be looking at for its report. From the observed water levels to forecasting skills and accuracy, as well as a summary of the hydroclimate conditions, the hope is the report will help “put this event into historical context and determine how likely it may be to happen in the future.” A widespread impact assessment, in which information has and will be pulled from various sources, will also be completed. The goal will be to summarize, “as best as we can,” what’s really happened here, where, why, and the extent of the damage, said Leger. Leger reports the committee is already working on a number of things, gathering information from provinces, states and agencies, and has reviewed more than 1,000 newspaper articles, trying to further understand the impact of this year’s flooding. Tours throughout the high water period were completed, from Brockville through to the Niagara area in both Canada and the U.S.Shoreline property owners are also encouraged to take part in a self-reporting survey online, which the committee hopes will be launched soon. Residents should keep an eye on the committee’s website (http://ijc.org/en_/GLAM) if interested in participating. Those who complete the survey will be helping the committee with its analysis of damage as a result of this year’s flooding, said Leger. The committee is also seeking additional funding currently, hoping to conduct more surveys at the municipal level and so a

at play here. Their behaviour is deplorable and its impact on the morale of staff members, who had obviously had to juggle priorities and work schedules at short notice, can only be injurious. It’s sad to think we have almost another year of these political shenanigans before the 2018 election campaign is over. Let’s hope we are able to elect a more professional, results oriented gang next fall, Brighton deserve it. closer look can be taken at places like marinas, for example. Dave Cutler, Brighton

Brighton — About 98 years ago, Remembrance Day was observed for the very first time. But for much of the 1920s, Canadians are said to have observed the date with little public demonstration. “Veterans and their families gathered in churches and around local memorials, but observances involved few other Canadians,” according to the Canadian War Museum. For many like Clay Samis, a Brightonian and 33-year-veteran, having served in the army and air force, they’re thankful that’s no longer the practice. Samis was one of hundreds in attendance Saturday, Nov. 11, as Brightonians flooded Memorial Park, standing united with thousands nationwide to mark Remembrance Day. Flashes of red poppies shimmered far into the distance and from all directions of the cenotaph, as residents chose to spend their Saturday morning paying tribute to those who’ve died serving and to those who continue to serve today. “A great crowd came out, showing a lot of support for veterans and that means a lot,” said Samis. “The Brighton Legion does a lot for veterans and is very supportive of the veteran community.” Throughout much of the 1920s, Remembrance Day in Canada, formerly Armistice Day, was combined with the Thanksgiving holiday. It wasn’t until 1928, the Canadian War Museum reports, when several prominent citizens, many of them veterans, pushed for greater recognition and for separation of remembrance of wartime sacrifice from Thanksgiving. Finally, in 1931, the federal government decreed the newly named Remembrance Day would be observed on Nov. 11 and Thanksgiving, with all its stuffing would be a separate holiday. Participation in Remembrance Day is said to have improved thereafter. For Brightonians, many said they were honoured to spend their time at the cenotaph last Saturday. And many others, like Samis, remembered their lost friends, comrades and loved ones. Samis found his passion to serve after joining the

Colborne cadets. He went on to join the militia and later, the 33rd Medium Artillery Regiment, which originated in Cobourg. After finishing his degree with the Royal Military College of Canada, he served all over — in Calgary, Edmonton, Germany, Egypt and throughout Ontario. He also served during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, where two of his comrades in his unit died during that time. Samis makes sure he shows up on Remembrance Day, for those two men and for the many others who’ve lost their lives during conflicts. “That’s why it’s very important we keep doing this, the country needs to remember these people … they didn’t give their lives, they didn’t go to war wanting to give their lives, they lost their lives,” he said. During his opening address, Brighton Legion president Greg Kobold reflected on the many other observed anniversaries in 2017, in addition to the 98th anniversary of Remembrance Day. In 2017, Canadians marked the 100th anniversaries of the battles of both Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele. Troops endured unimaginable hardships and brutal conditions to achieve victory in both conflicts, but at a cost. More than 10,000 Canadians were killed and wounded during the bloody battle for Vimy. Almost 12,000 were wounded during Canada’s victory at Passchendaele and more than 4,000 died fighting. Of course, 2017 also marked several other notable anniversaries including the big 150th Confederation of Canada, the 125th anniversary of the Stanley Cup and the 375th anniversary of the founding of Montreal. And these are just a few of the anniversaries Kobold mentioned during his address. He made these references, before reminding residents of the more than two dozen names engraved on the Brighton cenotaph. They never saw or experienced any anniversaries, not anniversaries with loved ones or any other types after “paying the supreme sacrifice in our defence.”

Predators double up Third straight COSSA title for Brighton’s Northumberland for second win junior boys soccer team BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton — East Northumberland Secondary School won its third straight COSSA 'AAA' junior boys soccer title, with a pair of onegoal victories at Peterborough on Nov. 3. “This rarely happens, it is really a big deal,” principal Charlotte Filip said in an email. “So proud of the boys and our dedicated coach, Rick Vandertoorn.” The Blue Dragons defeated Cobourg Collegiate Institute, the No. 1 seed from Kawartha, 5-4 in a game that went into extra time. Three minutes in, Zac Taylor decided the match with his second goal of the game. “This proved to be a highly entertaining game,” Vandertoorn said in an email. “ENSS had to battle back from an early 3-1 deficit in the first half.” Also scoring for Brighton were Jacob Gilbert, Dimitri Romanidis and Justin Condi. The win put the Blue Dragons into the Central Ontario final against the Bay of Quinte

champions, the Centennial Chargers, who had blanked Lindsay 1-0 in the semifinal — and whipped East Northumberland 6-1 earlier in the season. “The game was scoreless after the first half with a few ENSS starters struggling from injuries so the bench became a key factor to the (team's) success,” Vandertoorn said. Condie scored the game's lone goal and a “determined ENSS squad shut down the Centennial strikers for the remainder of the second half.” Goalkeepers Tosh Jamieson and Ryan Johnston shared the duties in net to record the shutout. The other members of the team were Andrew Wood, Brody Hess, Tyler Parks, Lucas Kaley, Hunter Ashbridge, Owen Koets, Jared Milligan, Levi Palmer, Josh Gibson, Angus Risk, Lucas Rath, Koren Lewis, Ethan Reynolds,

BY JOHN CAMPBELL Colborne — The Northumberland Stars were upset 6-3 by the Toronto Predators in North York last Saturday. The Stars, who are entrenched in the middle of the pack in the South Division of the Greater Metro Jr. A Hockey League, were the favourite to win playing the 11th-place Predators. But, Toronto doubled their win total to two on Nov. 11, stunning Northumberland with four unanswered goals in the first period; they added another in the second to take a 5-0 lead. Northumberland made it interesting with three-straight goals in the third — by Jarrett Townsend, Andrew Pankhurst and Tyler Brackin — but the Stars could get no closer. Northumberland outshot Toronto 52-44. A day earlier, the Stars won their third game in four matches with the Oshawa Riverkings as the opposition. Evan Wasylyk was the game’s second star with a goal and two assists. His teammate, Ilshat Zaripov, was named third star, stopping 22 of 22 shots. Alexander Vigor scored a pair for the victors. Tim Lavigne and Doug Andrews also scored, while Brackin collected two assists. He leads the team with 25 points, 17 of them goals.

Brighton to host Great Ontario Bonspiel for province-wide celebration BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — The Great Ontario Bonspiel is coming to Brighton. As part of Ontario 150 celebrations, the Brighton and District Curling Club is one of 20 throughout the province that will host the bonspiel this coming weekend. “We are accepting teams from all clubs around, as we are the only club from Whitby to Ottawa hosting,” said Bryan Bruneau, co-ordinator for the bonspiel. The provincewide bonspiel is being spearheaded by the Ontario Curl-

ing Council (OCC), which received an Ontario 150 Community Celebration grant for the event. “We want to share our grant with Ontario curling clubs and together, celebrate and showcase the rich history, past successes and the joy of participating in the sport of curling during the Great Ontario Bonspiel,” a release from the council reads. While hosting the bonspiel, clubs will showcase achievements and tell their own success stories through videos as part of the provincewide celebrations. The OCC plans to video-link all the

Bruneau said the club has chosen to showcase junior curlers, as they are the club’s future. People will be able to watch Brighton’s video and other club videos, as the OCC will stream them on Facebook Live, said Bruneau. As of Sunday, Nov. 12, Brighton had 12 teams signed up for the bonspiel, including a team from Campbellford and Belleville. The Brighton club can host up to 24 teams and is aiming for about 16 to run, but if 24 teams turned up that would be “perfect,” said Bruneau.

“We are encouraging juniors on teams if players have young family members,” he added. People can sign up at the club or email Bruneau at bbruneau1987@ gmail.com, if interested in participating. Bruneau needs all team entries in before the end of the day on Thursday, Nov. 16. The bonspiel in Brighton will run Saturday, Nov. 18 and Sunday, Nov. 19. Saturday will be an 8 a.m. start and could go until 9 p.m. Sunday will also be an 8 a.m. start and could go until about 7 p.m., if 24 teams participate, this would change a little with 16 teams, said Bruneau. Residents are invited to come out and watch the bonspiel and to participate in the Ontario 150 celebration. Bruneau said the club has a large number of prizes to auction and raffle off. The club will also be providing lunch both days and dinner Saturday. The cost will be $80 per team. The OCC has also said it will provide winners of each bonspiel with a customized ‘Ontario 150 — Great Ontario Bonspiel prize.’

Cadets making veterans proud Smile Cookie proceeds will help thousands through CCN programs

BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – Brighton army cadets are once again being commended for their bravery, character and dedication. For the ninth year in a row, the cadets stood strong through an all-night candlelight vigil, held the night before Remembrance Day. Despite the bitter cold, the young boys and girls carried on and remained on guard at the cenotaph, starting in the evening on Friday, Nov. 10, through to the conclusion of Saturday’s Remembrance Day ceremony. The cadets kept a watchful eye on hundreds of burning candles, which were laid both in memorial of loved ones lost and also in honour of veterans and soldiers currently serving. “The kids, they just do a wonderful, wonderful job with the vigil – it makes the vets so proud,” said Clay Samis, a 33-year veteran. This year’s candlelight tribute drew in more than a couple hundred residents, who joined the cadets and legion members, as they paid homage to the many who’ve lost their lives and the many who have and continue to lay their lives on the line for their country.

Samis recalled the first annual vigil event, as the cadets concluded their watch Saturday. He’s got to know a number of the cadets since the first vigil, through similar events and their other work in the community. Through events like the vigil, Samis has seen so much “progress and building of character” among the cadets over the years, he said. And to be able to watch the kids build character and confidence, to watch them grow into these exceptionally dedicated young adults, it’s remarkable, he added. Funds from the sales of candles help the Brighton legion to assist veterans in need, exservice members and their families, as well as community programs and institutions. As the cadets concluded their guard with poise Saturday, legion president Greg Kobold praised the group for its determination and courage. “We are so honoured and privileged they continue to carry on these duties,” said Kobold. On behalf of the community, “You have our deepest gratitude,” he told the cadets.

Patented technique for repairing sidewalks will save cash BY JOHN CAMPBELL

in we're becoming more litigious, which is too bad,” he said. “Obviously, something has to be done to make the sidewalks safe but some of it's overkill.” Coombs said somebody tripped over a curb at Apple Blossom Tyme Festival a few years ago and “that lawsuit is still outstanding.” The claim is for more than a million dollars, he said. “You get too many of those and our insurance rates will go up.” The cost of repairs is “very reasonable,” Coombs said. “It will take care of the situation and bring us into compliance really (with minimum maintenance standards) which is why we're doing it.” “You want to make sure people who are using walkers or wheelchairs ... can access buildings properly,” he said, “and travel our sidewalks in a safe manner.” “We have to do our due diligence and make sure we don't have these hazards.” Typically in the past, the township has ripped up sidewalks in need of repair and poured new concrete,

Cramahe Township — The municipality will spend close to $25,500 to fix 330 tripping hazards in Colborne and Castleton, and save $95,725 in not having to demolish and replace sidewalks. Safesidewalks Canada, the company awarded the contract, came up with the estimated savings based on its inspections of all the sidewalks in the township. Hazards were identified as any misalignment, or variance in height, between sidewalk panels that was more than three-quarters of an inch. Safesidewalks Canada said its “patented saw technique to repair tripping hazards and various sidewalk deficiencies” results in “a beautiful, smooth surface” that's far superior to grinding and 70 to 90 per cent cheaper than replacement. “Ever since the liability laws changed a little while ago, this whole thing about uneven sidewalks, which every community has in the world, has become a big deal,” Mayor Marc Coombs said. “Unfortunately, it's a sign of the times that we live he said.

Northumberland — Residents and Tim Hortons owners have given Community Care Northumberland (CCN) staffers thousands of reasons to smile. For the second year in a row, Tim Hortons owners John and Kim Meeussen, and Jeri and Ron Joyce have donated proceeds from the September Smile Cookie campaign to CCN. Close to 30,000 cookies were sold this year at nine locations in Colborne, Cobourg and Port Hope, which CCN is benefiting from and so will residents that access CCN programming. “The dollars will support all the programs that we offer throughout the county,” said Alicia Vandine, regional community relations co-ordinator for CCN. Last year, about 26,663 Smile Cookies were sold at the nine Tim Hortons locations. Vandine was happy to report this year’s total has surpassed that number with 27,324 cookies sold. At $1 each, this means CCN receives a donation of $27,324. The co-ordinator is extending a huge

thank you to the owners and residents, who purchased cookies during the campaign, which ran from Sept. 11 to Sept. 19 this year. With increasing demand for CCN services, this donation will help the organization to meet the needs of more than 5,000 clients, said Vandine. Annually, CCN is left to fundraise for more than 25 per cent of its budget to meet clients’ needs and to cover operational costs for programming. CCN offers an array of services throughout Northumberland, including supports for caregivers, wellness, social and recreational programs, transportation assistance, home help and maintenance programs, as well as the Meals on Wheels program, to name a few. The Smile Cookie proceeds will help with these programs and more. The campaign started in the mid-1990s as a way to help raise funds for the Hamilton Children’s Hospital. Nationwide, Tim Hortons’ owners support more than 460 charities, hospitals and community programs through the campaign.

WINTER TIRE CHANGEOVER

Faithful fostering earns accolades for the Parsons BY JACK EVANS

Foster parenting is not for the faint of heart, longtime foster parents Ernie and Linda Parsons agree. The Parsons attended an annual banquet recently to mark November as Foster Parents Month, as they usually do, but were “totally surprised” to receive a special recognition award for their devotion to fostering. Ernie, a well-known Quinte area resident, former MPP and a board member of the Children’s Aid Society for many years, commented: “I looked around that room and thought of so many foster parents I knew who deserved the award more than us. I know some who took on some really challenging cases – ones that I would not have wanted.” In an interview last week at their Stirling area home, Ernie and his wife, Linda, summed up their experiences as “challenging, but rewarding.” The award was in the shape of a narrow signboard, handcrafted with the wording: “Our family is a circle of strength and love,” and both are proud to display it in their rural kitchen. Ernie recalled how he felt so rewarded at becoming a foster parent that he volunteered to serve on the children’s aid agency’s board to help pay it back. He remained on it in various roles, including chair, for 25 years, resigning because of potential conflict of interest after he was elected as MPP and assigned duties to look after that portfolio in the Liberal government of the time. The two have been so active as foster parents over the years that they can’t accurately report the number of children they have been involved with. “It would be somewhere around 40,” said Parsons. “Some of them were only with us for a short time.”

The two recounted stories of children who, once they had earned their confidence, often turned abysmal school records around, thanks to safe shelter, adequate meals and a warm bed. They talked about how it was a complete family effort with their own children assisting in welcoming and helping the

foster children and the sacrifices their own children made, losing desired quality time to the visitors who needed their parents’ attention even more. They reviewed the disturbing fact of being construed as the “enemy” by birth parents and the agony of dealing with innocent

stand-by grandparents. “We were not supposed to talk to any of the family,” said Ernie, “but if we bumped into them at the mall or on the street, we would chat. Most of the parents also overcame their animosity and became friends later.” He had high praise for new trends in foster care, including, many years ago a change in policy from “what’s best for the family” to “what’s best for the child.” “I can’t think of any case of a child taken into CAS care that was not best for the child,” said Ernie. And he had high praise for the new policies which he called “kin care,” – trying to find a suitable family relative as the first choice for placement. The results are showing a great improvement, he added. He also recalled the formation of the original Hastings CAS Foundation. “I was on the board at the time and opposed the idea, but I was wrong. That has been a tremendously successful operation on behalf of the children, with improved care and education opportunities.” He cautioned adults getting involved as foster parents in hopes of making money. “You probably won’t lose any, but I can’t see actually making money.” Both he and Linda also praised the training program the CAS offers to prospective new foster parents and urged people to attend all classes. As Christmas approaches, Parsons said Christmases for foster children is a particularly difficult time. He also noted that it usually takes up to several months to build trust with the children. The bottom line is, “There is always a need for good foster parents,” he said.

Plan for tree growth, save those trees

BY CARSON ARTHUR For the last few years, I’ve been getting more homeowners questioning the large trees in their yards. After ice storms, hurricane force winds, and now record snowfalls, the trees on our prop-

erties have taken quite a beating. Before you decide to get rid of your trees in favour of less yard word, there are a few things you might want to consider. According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, and Tree Canada, trees are not just important for the environment; they have real value when it comes to your actual home. Trees on your property can be worth more then $19000 and save you more than $175 dollar on your energy bills. • All of the current research shows that homebuyers prefer houses on streets that have trees. In fact, properties with healthy mature trees show an increased value of between 3 and 5% over homes that have none. This means that on the average Canadian home, those trees are worth between $10500 and $19000 • Trees are nature’s outdoor climate control but they also impact the inside of your home. A well-placed tree that

shades your home in the hot summer months can save you up to $55 each year, and an additional $120 in winter heating costs. When it comes to the winter months, most homeowners would rather be inside under a blanket beside a fireplace. Unfortunately, there are a lot of outdoor jobs that get pushed off into spring that really should get done right now. Once the leaves have fallen off your shrubs and bushes, its time to prune and reshape. Before you go crazy however, scratch the surface of the plants to make sure that there is no green under the bark. If it’s all dried out, then that branch can be removed without causing the plant any serious damage. This is also the perfect time to bring in your arbourist to tackle any of the big limbs and dead wood, which may snap off during the winter and cause damage to your home and property If you are now looking forward to 2018 and might be considering adding a new tree, there are a few

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

things simple rules to picking the right one. The type of tree makes a big difference when it comes to valuation. Trees that don’t do well in an urban setting can negatively impact the homes around them. Species like willow, poplar, balsam fir and Manitoba maple all have less than desirable qualities, making them better for rural locations. The best deciduous trees for home valuation continue to be the ones with great fall colour like Autumn Blaze Maple or the slower growing varieties like Oaks because they provide more shade and stay healthier longer. After doing a series of videos and instructional pieces for Ontree.ca, I learned that the location of your trees is also important. If you are planting new trees this spring around your home, use these simple tips as a good general guideline for placement. • Evergreens and conifers should be placed on the north side of your property. That way they help to block

the cold winds in the wintertime. To maximize their effectiveness, don’t plant your evergreens in a straight line. Instead, stagger then in a zigzag pattern • Plant your shade trees on the south side of the property to create the most protection from the summer sun. Make sure you follow the individual planting guidelines for each type of tree that you plant. Don’t assume that all trees grow the same, even if they come from the same family. Instead of removing those valuable assets, proper care makes a lot more sense. You wouldn’t throw out your car before a mechanic took a look at it. The same goes for a tree in your yard. Have an arbourist come in to remove those dead branches and missing bark to ensure that your tree not only stays healthy, it continues to make you money for your home investment.

Local comedy wins big

Left to right are Nancy Garrod, producer; Kathryn Potts Dalmer and Judy Preece, director Scott Roodvoets, Lesley Bonisteel of the Old Church Theatre, Peter Paylor, playwright, and his partner Lisa Morris and Brian Weston as Roger in the play. Photo submitted by Lesley Bonisteel.

BY JACK EVANS

The Quinte area continues to make waves in the Eastern Ontario Drama League with s major win at the annual one-act festival in recent days. With nine theatre companies across the region taking part, a comedy by Belleville up and coming playwright Peter Paylor, won the People’s Choice award for “Tea With Roger,” and also the Special Adjudicator’s Outstanding Performance Award. The latter was designated for two Belleville women who featured in the two local entries, Kathryn Dalmer and Judy Preece, plus the Old Church Theatre and the play’s producer, Nancy Garrod and director Scott Roodevoets and the Bellevillle Theatre Guild. The People’s Choirce Award is sponsored by the Brighton

Barn Theatre, so is a replica of the famous Presqu’ile lighthouse. This was one of two plays by Paylor performed at the Bonisteel Old Church Theatre a few weeks ago and won rave reviews at that time. Two senior women meet over tea to discuss the fate of one their husbands who thumps his way through the play while bound and gagged in a nearby closet. The second play, “The Green Thumb Gang,” also starred Dallmer and Preece as two inept house burglars and was entered by the Belleville Theatre Guild. Meanwhile, Paylor’s first play, “Rosewood: Tales from the Tavern” which has also drawn popular support throughout the region, is being re-staged over the next few weeks.

Take a luxury river cruise on Portugal’s ‘River of Gold’ our route, and we learned that about half of the world’s supply of cork is produced right here in Portugal. The cork industry is generally regarded as ‘environmentally friendly’ for the tree is not cut down to obtain cork. Instead, it’s simply de-barked, so the tree continues to live – and the bark re-grows. Once a cork tree is about 25 years old, the cork tree is stripped of its bark for the first time, but that first cutting is usually not of a very good quality. It improves with age, so the next bark stripping, 9 years later, is usually much better in quality; then the debarking continues, every 9 years, for the rest of the life of the tree. Before this cruise, if I thought of cork, I’d immediately think of a wine bottle. After all, the cork’s elasticity and near-impermeability makes it wonderful as a bottle stopper. However, as a result of this trip, I saw that cork was used in a great number of other products, too, including wallets, purses, belts, jewellery, hats, and badminton shuttlecocks. It’s also used for automotive gaskets, trivets, bulletin boards, insulation, fishing floats and buoys, and as floor and wall tiles. It’s quite the product – and it’s considered nonallergenic and a natural fire retardant. Not only did we see a lot of cork trees and products, but olive trees were also very plentiful. This fruit is picked and fermented, and the curing process can take quite some time (even several months).

BY JOHN M. SMITH

My wife and I recently took a wonderful river cruise on Portugal’s Douro River. “Douro” roughly translates from Portuguese as “River of Gold”, and as the sun sets over it in the evening, you may better grasp why the river has been so named, for the water gleams a golden colour. The Douro River trip, between Porto and Barca d’Alva, is primarily along Portugal’s terraced vineyards, through its renowned wine region, so we passed many quintas (wine estates) that cling to the nearby slopes and, of course, we had an ‘up close and personal look’ - and tasting - at several of these on our daily excursions from the Viking Torgil, our cruise ship. Since we were in and near Porto, port wine was the specialty. However, this marvelous voyage wasn’t just about wine alone, for there was a lot of information about cork, olives, and ceramic tiles, too. We were particularly blown away about all that we learned about cork during this cruise, for we saw many cork trees along

pecially noteworthy ones in the train stations of Porto and Pinhao (where scenes of Portuguese life are depicted in distinctive blue and white tiles). There were even some on our cruise ship! However, to really learn about the history of these tiles, and perhaps even make your own decorative tile to take home with you, I’d recommend a visit to Lisbon’s National Tile Museum. Our trip actually began in Lisbon, Portugal’s capital, and here we stayed at the luxurious Hotel Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa before travelling, by bus, to Portugal’s second largest city, Porto (home to port, the area’s renowned fortified wine). We then boarded our boat and began our actual cruise. We soon docked at the historic town of Regua, and near here we visited the Mateus Palace and Gardens (this palace is actually pictured on the Mateus wine label). Next we arrived at the sleepy little town of Pinhao, where we checked out the aforementioned, spectacular ceramic tiles in its train station, and then we headed, by bus, to the nearby tiny village of Favaois, where we watched bakers making bread in the traditional way. Of course,

we just had to try a sample of the bread after it emerged from the aged oven that was heated by wood and old grapevines – and it was still warm and very tasty. Another stop along the river was at Lamego, where a hilltop chapel, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Remedies, may be reached via 686 steps up a grand double staircase. We learned that many pilgrims make the strenuous ascent on their knees! Near the Spanish border, we stopped at Castelo Rodrigo, a medieval fortress town that was so interesting that I plan to write a separate piece about it in the future. While near the border, we also took a day trip into Spain – to visit Salamanca, Spain’s oldest college town (another intriguing destination!). Our river cruise took us to Barca d’Alva, the last Portuguese town on the Douro River, and back to Porto. This provided us with a very enjoyable exploration of this region, and we not only loved our daily shore excursions, but we also had a great time while on board, too.

Drivers don PJs in support of kids with cancer

LifeLabs last week announced its partnership with the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) as lead sponsor of the Pajamas and Pancakes program. To mark the occasion, LifeLabs employees flipped pancakes and shared a pancake breakfast in their LifeLabs pajamas to raise funds and awareness in support of POGO. Proceeds from the event went directly to POGO’s mission to increase access to state-of-the-art cancer care for children and families in Ontario, support education and research initiatives and provide financial support for children and families battling cancer. “POGO - a champion of so many young people and families as they journey through kid’s cancer, needs champions to help meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities of the future. We are thrilled to welcome LifeLabs as our “Proud Partner” to our new program “Pajamas and Pancakes”. LifeLabs’ commitment allows us to sustain our unique mission to provide access to the best available support for every child in Ontario who has met the monster called cancer, and to the families who love and so desperately want to protect those children. Thank you LifeLabs, for joining

Powered By Love, a book, a movement are born Belleville – Quinte Grannies for Africa hosted the launch of the book Powered By Love, a Grandmother’s Movement to End AIDS in Africa on Thursday Nov. 2. The guests danced into the room with the song ‘Grandmothers Rising’ written and composed by Jeanette Arsenault. A panel discussion was moderated by Mama Ida, a native of Zambia, former field worker and senior advisor to the Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). Mama Gladys, a grandmother at the project, Grandmothers against Poverty and AIDS (GAPA) and Mama Daisy, staff

member at GAPA, talked about how they became involved and what the project provides. Also on the panel Alexis MacDonald, the photographer for the book and Mieke Thorne, representing Quinte Grannies for Africa. The guests danced from the room to the SLF Foundation song: Powered by Love. All books sold were signed by the guests. The books are for sale at Chapters and, according to the Quinte Grannies for Africa, “are a great Christmas gift.” Part of the proceeds from the book sales go to the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

our league of champions.” said POGO spokespersonLynn Wilson, Chief Development Officer. The Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) accommodated 2800 patients this fiscal year through their 7 AfterCare clinics. For child cancer patients, pajamas symbolize hospital stays, being sick and missing school and playtime with friends. Making pajamas the visual identifier in raising child

cancer awareness, LifeLabs was a proud partner to host the first annual PJs and Pancakes fundraiser this morning to champion kids’ cancer care and build a healthier Canada. LifeLabs couriers, key to the pick-up and delivery of patient specimens and much more, sported their LifeLabs branded PJs while out on their routes to hospitals, clinics, and labs, showing support for kids with cancer.

Quinte West - The third annual Tribute to the Brave concert by the Quinte Symphony is this Sunday, Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. at the National Air Force Museum of Canada. As in past years, the orchestra will be joined by the 8 Wing Concert Band and the 8 Wing Pipes and Drums in a concert that will include stirring music designed for the Remembrance Week season, including the patriotic fervour of Sibelius’ “Finlandia,” wartime songs and and swing, including “In the Mood” and military marches.

Wives Choir. There will be only one performance, at 2 p.m. with some 500 seats available.

with pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is the 12th leading cause of cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in Canada. In 2017, it is expected that 5,500 Canadians will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and about 4,800 will die from the disease. The pancreas is a part of the digestive system and it is a flat, pear-shaped gland that is behind the stomach.

this statistic. We are the largest national charitable funder of pancreatic cancer research in Canada. This year so far, we are committed to funding 15 research projects related to pancreatic cancer, representing an overall commitment of $7.7 million from CCS plus an additional $1.2 million from our generous funding partners. Despite a concentrated effort to develop treatments for pancreatic cancer, it remains among the most aggressive and often untreatable cancers. CCS-funded researcher Dr John Bell from The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute has over a decade of experience developing anti-cancer viruses that can selectively kill cancer cells while leaving normal ones unharmed. Some are showing promise in clinical trials; however, they do not yet work in all patients. Dr Bell is aiming to develop viruses that are more potent and active against pancreatic cancer cells, which could also be used to treat other cancers in the future.
