Proudly serving Brighton, Colborne and Area

Life as a refugee – for 90 minutes in a high school at Brighton BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton – Accompanied by the sounds of war -- exploding bombs, bursts of gunfire – small groups of teenagers made their way in the darkened gym to an area starkly lit by spotlights. There they were met by two men in military gear, one of them carrying a firearm, who asked them questions in a language they didn’t speak. More confusion followed after they were allowed to pass through to the next stop, where immigration officials awaited, with communication again being a problem. After that it was off to build build temporary shelters using cardboard and tarps. And so it went for 100 students at East Northumberland Secondary School and an equal number from Campbellford District High School taking part in a series of role-playing modules that exposed them to life as a refugee. The Passages event was organized by Northumberland Youth Unlimited (NYU) in partnership with the two schools, Northumberland OPP, Northumberland Child Development Centre, the Beacon Youth Centre, Cobourg Alliance Church and Church on the Hill. “We want them to become more aware of the plight of refugees around the world, and we also want them

to be empowered to just be more thoughtful and more compassionate towards refugees (who) are resettling in our community,” NYU executive director Tony Posthumus said. Two 90-minute sessions were held to accommodate the large number of participants at ENSS Nov. 8. The students were divided into small family groups with personal histories, such as having two elder sons killed by a bomb in reprisal for the father having written articles denouncing political corruption. A volunteer who portrayed one of the two border guards said they tried “to introduce as much stress as possible to simulate how frustrating” it is for refugees to flee their homeland and seek refuge in another country. One of the teachers, “a plant,” became belligerent and was taken down in front of the students and removed from the group. A debriefing was held after each session to find out how much the students had been affected by the experience. Shocked, upset, angry, sad – that’s how some described what they were feeling. “It was very stressful,” one student said. “Scary,” said another. Julia Hammerton, a Grade 12 ENSS student, played a mother in a family of seven who had a son taken away temporarily by a border guard. It was “really eye-opening for me

to find out what the Syrian refugees go through every day, and this wasn’t even the smallest taste of what they actually (experience),” she said. Asked what they could do individually to help refugees make the transition to living in a new community, the

students responded: Involve them, listen, show them around, “bring them close to your heart,” “connect them with your social circle and family,” “learn a bit of Syrian,” and smile. Posthumus said Passages was designed by the United Nations and

“customized” for local purposes. The first one was held last January for a much smaller group of students in Cobourg and many there said “it had a big impact on them (and given them) a better understanding” of what it’s like to be a refugee.

Part of the Passages event held at East Northumberland Secondary School included students in the role of refugees being confronted by a armed border guard. John Campbell/Metroland

Brighton remembers Wilfred Pound, Second World War veteran BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – Wilfred John Pound was a father, a husband, a community man and a soldier. The Second World War veteran, who was one of 14,000 Canadian soldiers to storm the Normandy beaches for D-Day, died peacefully at home, the day before Remembrance Day. He would have been 97 years old on Christmas. And Brighton remembered him Friday. He was one of many honoured at the community’s Remembrance Day ceremony held at Memorial Park on Friday and during the Brighton army cadets’ all-night vigil, held the night before. “This was his community – his home,” said his daughter Shelley Pound, after the ceremony Friday. Shelley and Wilfred’s three other children, Ritchie, Carla and Paula, laid one of the last wreaths at the cenotaph Friday in memory of their father. The final candle during the vigil the night before was also placed at the cenotaph in honour of Wilfred. More than 400 candles were placed at the cenotaph during the 8th annual vigil Thursday evening in memory of the fallen and of loved ones lost. Cadets remained on guard throughout the night, keeping a watchful eye through heavy gusts of wind, as the candles burned and until the conclusion of Friday’s Remembrance Day ceremony. On Friday, a crowd overflowed

onto the surrounding streets of Memorial Park and a steady stream of poppies glistened into the distance, as hundreds gathered to pay homage and remember Canada’s fallen soldiers and their sacrifices throughout the decades. For many like the Pound family, it was an emotional ceremony. “You know, it seems like dad was something to everyone,” said Shelley. “But he was everything to us.” Wilfred returned home to Brighton after the war and became a barber in a rehabilitation program the army provided. He married Melba in 1950 and they had the four children. Wilfred was a grandfather to five and a great-grandfather to one. He joined Canada Post not long after marrying Melba. In 1957, he became postmaster for the town. He stayed at the post office for about 26 years. Shelley laughed; it was almost like her father was a “fixture” in town. “He was always a fighter too,” she said. “When he was sick, the soldier was always in him…he would fight to get back on his feet.” Shelley admitted, she thought the ceremony would be harder. “And it was hard,” she said. “I still can’t believe he’s gone.” But there was also a certain “strength” felt by the family, from the community Friday – like the community was helping hold the family up, said Shelley. Wilfred joined the Brighton Legion in 1939 and served as a member for more than 75 years.

Sarah Hyatt/Metroland. He served as president in 1953 and during this time, helped welcome home a returning soldier from Korea. Wilfred laid the last wreath to grace Brighton’s old cenotaph, during the decommissioning ceremony. “He’s had quite the history,” an emotional Greg Kobold said, after his address at the candlelight tribute to veterans. Kobold is also

a life member of the legion and the past legion district commander. He knew Wilfred for many years. Wilfred also received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012, for his extensive volunteer work. At the end of the war, in 1945,

Wilfred received the Efficiency Medal. In 2014, by order of the president of the Republic of France, Wilfred was recognized and awarded for his involvement in the Liberation of France in the Second World War.

National Air Force Museum of Canada to implement admission fees develop as a vibrant and integral part of the local community. “The National Air Force Museum of Canada is a national treasure and I cannot think of a more exciting time to be part of this outstanding institution,” said Bill March, chair of the museum board. “The staff and volunteers are working very, very hard to enhance the museum’s ability to bring Canada’s rich air force heritage to life for our visitors, but there is still much more to do. The expansion necessary through the acquisition of new artefacts, aircraft and stories, as well as positioning ourselves to be a centrepiece for the RCAF’s Centennial Celebration, is forcing us to seek out new sources of revenue,” March said. Admissions to the NAFMC will be set at $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and students, $5 for children aged six to 12, and $25 for families up to five. Special rates will be available for groups of 10 or more. There is no charge for children five and under, Canadian Forces members, veterans or NAFMC Foundation members. Joining the NAFMC Foundation gives members unlimited access to the museum along with other benefits. Individual memberships cost $10 per month.

OPINION

The biggest “Screw You!” vote in history Not many things are certain in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s narrow victory in the US presidential election, but FBI Director James Comey can rest assured that his job is safe. His prediction Gwynne Dyer of a new investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails eleven days before the election (followed by a retraction only 36 hours before the vote) gave Trump the edge he needed to win in the close-run contests in the “battleground states.” Another sure bet is that Trump will not waste his time trying to send Hillary Clinton to jail, despite his many promises to “lock her up.” But this brings us rapidly to the nub of the matter: how many of his promises does he really intend to keep? If he keeps them all, we are in for a wild ride in the next four years. President Barack Obama, addressing his last rally before the election, said: “All that progress (we made) goes down the drain if we don’t win tomorrow.” So down it goes: the promising climate change deal signed in Paris last December, the Affordable Care Act that gave 20 million poorer Americans access to health insurance, the deal that persuaded Iran to stop working on nuclear weapons, and maybe the whole 68-year-old NATO alliance. Trump often accused of being sketchy on the details of his plans, but he has actually given us quite a lot of details on these issues. He’s not just going to tear up the Paris climate accord, for example. At home, he’s going to dismantle all but a few “little tidbits” of the Environmental Protection Agency and, he says, revive the coal industry. Will he really deport 11 million illegal immigrants from the United States? (He backtracked a bit on that.) Will he build a wall on the Mexican border? (He can’t walk away from that promise.) Will he ban all Muslims from entering the US? (Not in so many words, maybe, but Muslims should not consider taking vacations there.) Will Trump tear up the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico, and repudiate the Trans-Pacific Partnership (a free trade deal linking most Pacific Rim countries except China) and the proposed Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (a similar deal between the US and the European Union)? Yes, yes and yes. Destroying the current “globalised”

trading arrangements was a key part of his platform. Will he impose import duties on goods made in America’s trading partners in an attempt to “bring the jobs home”, including 35 percent tariffs on Mexican-made goods and 45 percent on Chinese exports. If he does, he’ll be starting a global trade war, and in the case of China a confrontation that could even turn military. How could almost half of American voters support all this (47.5 percent)? Well, they didn’t, actually. They weren’t interested in the details. They just hated the way the country was changing. Many of them had lost out economically because of the changes, and they were all very angry. As American film-maker and social commentator Michael Moore predicted, Donald Trump has ridden to power on the back of the biggest “F*** You” vote in history. It was driven by the same rage that fuelled the Brexit vote in Britain last June, and it was equally heedless of consequences. Pro-Brexit British voters were more obsessed by immigration and Trump voters were more upset about jobs going abroad, but white workingclass males provided the core support in both cases and the basic message was the same: “Stop the world. I want to get off.” Populists like Boris Johnson in England and Donald Trump in the United States are just exploiting those emotions, but they are barking up the wrong tree. The basic change that is leaving so many people feeling marginalized and unhappy is not immigration or globalization. Those scapegoats are popular mainly because you can imagine doing something to solve the problem: close the doors to immigrants, rip up the free trade deals. But the real change is automation: computers and robots are eating up most of the jobs. Seven million American factory jobs have disappeared since 1979, but American factory production has doubled in the same time. The United States is still the world’s second largest manufacturer, behind only China. So the populists can go on baying at the moon for a while, but sooner or later we will have to recognize that this is unstoppable change and start figuring out how to live with it. In particular, we will have to figure out how a large proportion of our societies can still have self-respect and a decent living standard when there are no jobs for them.

Be grateful, we’re on the right side of the border Editorial by Stephen Petrick On a cold night last March community leaders, local dignitaries and spiritual leaders of multiple faiths gathered in the warm basement of Belleville’s Bridge Street United Church for a festive meal. Everyone had gathered to celebrate the arrival of two new families to the region – the Mostofa and Al Mansour families, both of which had recently arrived in Canada as refugees from Syria. Prayers were delivered both in English and Arabic; the essence of both touched on the greatness of humanity. It was a fun event and it left everyone with a feeling of gratefulness to be living in Canada. There’s no doubt that similar events have taken place in church or community halls across our region as the Quinte area has helped with the in take of more than 33,000 Syrian refugees nationwide to date. Most of these families have mothers, fathers and children who’ve fled civil war and are grateful for a new life. Most of us have welcomed them and tried to help because Canadians, generally, like to help others, celebrate diversity and know that racist or religious discrimination is a hollow endeavour, which leads to nothing good. This thought may be the best way to stomach the news we digested last Tuesday. The world is undeniably a more dangerous place after the United States elected the tempered Donald Trump as its new president, but at least we’re on the right side of the border. It would be difficult to host an event like the one at Bridge Street on the opposite side of Lake Ontario today. Muslims are a nuisance in the eyes of Trump, who has consistently uttered blatant lies – like the one about how Muslims abroad knew ahead of the plans of two mass shooters in San Bernardino, Calif. in 2015 (both of whom were long-term residents of the United States). Such false accusations are both stupid and shameful. What’s worse is that roughly 59.7 million Americans voted to support a leader who campaigned on jibberish ramblings with little regard to truth. Anyway you cut it, those who voted

for Trump showed they were if not in favour of, at least tolerant of, discrimination, not to mention womanizing, bullying and awful hair. Of course, it’s important to remember that the majority of American did not vote to support the Republican leader who campaigned on banning Muslims from entering the United States. Actually, it turns out Hilary Clinton won the popular vote slightly with roughly 59.9 million votes. And more than 100 million Americans didn’t vote at all. Truthfully, notions of racism and xenophobia don’t likely manifest in the majority of Americans. But, it rests in the hearts of enough people to make racial tension precariously high in the U.S. and form an environment where a worthwhile cause, like supporting a Syrian refugee family (which would have overcome intensive screening to enter the country) is perceived as dangerous and unpatriotic. Yet in Belleville there’s no worry over such an event. And actually about a month after the Bridge Street dinner, another warm and endearing party took place at Belleville’s Greek Hall. On April 29, about 250 people, representing a range of ethnic backgrounds, came out to celebrate the second anniversary of the city’s signing of a Declaration Against Racism and Discrimination, a by-product of the city’s inclusion committee. The city is also a member of the Canadian Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination, a branch of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization. A couple years ago signing such a declaration might have seemed self congratulatory – any city can sign such a declaration, but it’s another thing altogether to practice anti-racism. Yet, today, given how volatile the world is, these types of promises carry more meaning. If racism is winning in the United States, it’s losing here at home. Maybe the Mostofa and Al Mansour families are counting their lucky stars they’re in Canada, living safely in Quinte.

We’re recycling rock stars in Quinte BY ERIN STEWART

Trenton – Take a bow blue box users, you’re rock stars leading to lower waste diversion costs. Quinte Waste Solutions has produced a 2017 budget with a miniscule increase thanks to a strong market for recyclables and a significant increase in funding. To help cover costs of recycling in the Quinte region, funding from Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) was increased to $1.59 million for 2016, up $430,000 from 2015. Dan Orr, Quinte Waste Solutions’ communications co-ordinator, said the less than one per cent increase in funding levied to its nine member municipalities is because the region is doing a great job recycling. “It’s not just us, it’s actually the residents, they’re recycling more of

what’s actually accepted in the blue box,” said Orr. Funding from WDO is calculated based on fiscal and waste diversion efficiency. The more efficient a municipal program in Ontario is for recycling or reducing the amount of waste going to landfill, the more money that municipality or service board receives to help offset costs of operating the blue box recycling program, said Orr. “Municipalities are offering a green bin program, there’s clear bag programs and what that means is those other programs, on top of blue box recycling, are reducing the amount of waste that historically has been going to landfill and is now being kept out and turned into useful products,” he said. Basing the 2017 WDO grant fig-

ures on 2016, Orr said they have calculated a mere $3,800 increase to Quinte Waste Solutions 2017 net budget over last year, an increase of less than one per cent. “The last couple years we’ve just been that effective and efficient that we’ve received this larger than normal increase,” he said. “We’re in a very good position, as a tax payer and as a staff of the board, we are doing very well, and I think it puts us in a very good position for the years ahead.” WDO’s latest diversion rates from 2014 show the Quinte region as being one of the few regions in Ontario to best a 50 per cent diversion rate. At a diversion rate of 53.7 per cent, Quinte region is ahead of the province’s average of 48 per cent and is ranked 17 out of 237 munici-

Trent Hills toy and food drive launched BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford - Trent Hills Toy and Food Drive Kick-off event was held in the Campbellford Community Resource Centre on Nov. 2nd to begin another season of providing for others in need, a need that has been increasing over time. Not only was jolly old St. Nicholas in attendance but he also had some help to start filling his

sleigh, thanks in part to some local students. Primary students from St. Mary’s Elementary and Kent Public schools in Campbellford came bearing gifts and non-perishable food items. In a press release organizers stated, “They’re learning at a very early age that Christmas is about giving and their participation also helps to reinforce the need for helping others in their community.”

Primary students from St. Mary’s Elementary and Kent Public schools in Campbellford brought gifts and food items to the launch of the Trent Hills Toy and Food Drive: back from left, Christine Hammond, board member, Community Living Campbellford/Brighton (CLCB), Bev Haley, executive assistant CLCB; Nancy Brown, executive director CLCB; Dawn Lee, director of quality enhancement and community development CLCB; Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake; Trent Hills Deputy-Mayor Bob Crate; Sean Clair, CLCB board vice-president; and Santa with some of his helpers from St. Mary’s Elementary and Kent Street Public schools.

Brighton’s Own: The incredible story of Jadzia and Walter Aksamit BY VIC SCHUKOV

Every World War II survivor has a unique story; many are never heard and few, like Jadzia and Walter Aksamit, preserve it in a selfpublished book, Our Life Stories. Jadzia was born in in East Poland, with two sisters (Maria and Helen) and four brothers (Stan, Thad, Mike and Frank). Their father’s savings and loan business allowed the family a good life but the children’s joyous days spent playing in the pastures was short-lived: In 1939, Germany invaded western Poland while Russia occupied the east. Hooligans frequently held the family up against a wall while ransacking their belongings. In 1940, Russian soldiers ordered them to pack for a “better” place. The family was loaded into a cattle car and shipped to Siberia. Thad was away, too late to join his family, and so he enlisted in the underground. In Siberia, Jadzia’s parents and Stan were forced to slave in a mine. Ten year old Jadzia’s job was to line up for food and go to market to sell her mother’s dresses for food money. When Germany invaded Russia, the family was shipped to Kazakhstan. Her parents and Stan were drafted into the Russian Army and the younger kids placed in an orphanage. Stan soon died from typhus.

“The British Allies took over the care of us kids,” said Jadzia. “U-boats threatened our crossing into England so we were sent to Pakistan for a month, then to a compound in Africa.” Her Dad was sent to Scotland where in 1948, the family joined him, except for Thad, killed in the last days of the war. In a seemingly parallel universe, Walter was born in western Poland. In 1943, the Gestapo sent him to Germany as slave labour in a munitions plant. Bombed by the Allies, the Germans moved operations to France. “There, I escaped,” said Walter, “and joined the US Army. I was sent to Scotland to train, but the war ended. I worked in the mines where I met Jadzia’s father. He showed me pictures of his family and I dreamed of meeting Jadzia. Her father found her a job in a nearby camp. One day, while I was visiting him, there was a knock on door and there was a beautiful blonde young lady.” She (Laughing): “Well, I was so cute. He had nice curly hair and I always liked curly hair.” He: “The following weekend I asked her out to a movie.” She: “He knocks on my door in the barrack off limits to males. Afraid for my job, I went to the movie.” They married a year later. Two years later, they emigrated to the

United States, and stayed for 17 years. “Dad wanted a farm,” said Jadzia, “so in 1954 he bought 50 acres west of Smithfield near Brighton. Mom dreamed of reuniting the family. For six years during the war, we didn’t know if Dad was alive. Our first visit to Canada was Easter in Brighton with the whole family. Our kids loved Dad’s horses, cows, chickens and rabbits. I got a view of the lake, and fell in love with Brighton.” When her father retired, he gave each sibling 10 acres. In 1969, Jadzia and Walter moved to Brighton where he started an auto repair shop. Jadzia said, “Some Polish acquaintances found Thad’s misplaced grave. In 2003, we had a reunion and visited the burial site. Kneeling at my brother’s grave, my heart almost burst with sorrow.” This amazing couple who crossed parallel universes (His and her parents were married on the same day!) have three kids, five grandchildren and one great grandchild. Their book’s Epilogue reads: “We are in love with each other and Brighton. This is where we will rest. Our family is big and still growing.” (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people.

Protecting drinking water is everyone’s responsibility

Did you know that in our watershed 46% of the people drink water from private wells while 54% drink water from municipal sources? Visit www.ltc.on.ca for more information

Trenton – All local students, from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, are invited to read 150 pieces of literature to participate in the “Bay of Quinte Canada 150 Literacy Challenge.” Neil Ellis, Member of Parliament for the Bay of Quinte, sat down to read with Kindergarten students at the Quinte West Public Library, where he announced the new Canada 150 initiative. In honour of Canada’s upcoming 150th Birthday, students are challenged to read 150 pieces of literature written by a Canadian author or based on Canadian heritage and culture, including books, short stories and media or magazine articles. “What better way to inspire and foster a personal connection between children and our proud Canadian heritage and culture than by helping commemorate our nation’s 150th birthday by encouraging literacy and instilling a love for reading” said Ellis. Children must read the material or have it read to them and then are asked to record the name of the author and title on the supplied forms, which can be found online at nellis.liberal.ca, requested by email at neil.ellis@parl.gc.ca or at participating schools and public libraries.

Public Message Provincial standard road signs mark locations where well-used roads cross into zones where municipal drinking water sources are the most vulnerable to contamination. The road signs will alert first responders of the need to quickly inform the appropriate authorities so action can be taken to keep contaminants out of the public water treatment and distribution system. How do Drinking Water Protection Zone signs protect public health? Emergency responders can help to protect drinking water sources. These provincially approved Plans contain various policies including one that calls for the road signs. In the event of an accidental spill within a Drinking Water Protection Zone emergency responders can: • notify the local drinking water treatment plant operator* • notify the Spills Action Centre 1-800-268-6060 • contain the accidental spill so clean up and remediation can occur *The water treatment plant operator can shut off of the raw water supply before contaminants (that can pose a danger to public health) enter the public water treatment and distribution system. Remember what you do on your property does make a difference. Protecting drinking water is everyone’s responsibility!

To find out more visit www.ltc.on.ca

All students who complete the challenge will receive a special edition commemorative Canada 150 certificate and a letter signed by Ellis. “The Canada 150 Reading Challenge is such a great way to encourage school age children to explore all the great Canadian writing out there,” said Quinte West Children’s Librarian, Suzanne Humphreys. “I love the way that it is not restricted to books, but can be anything from a Dennis

Lee poem to a chapter on Canadian history to an article in Chickadee,” she said. “At the Quinte West Public Library we will be doing everything we can to support this endeavour by guiding local children toward the wonderful resources available here.” Completed reading lists can be submitted to Ellis’ office by mail or in person at 100 Station St., Belleville Ont. K8N 2S5. List can also be submitted by email, neil.ellis@ parl.gc.ca or by fax at 613-969-3313.

Red Nose readies to roll in biggest year yet Belleville – Operation Red Nose kicked off it’s 13th season in the Quinte Region with the annual launch and introduction of this year’s honorary cochairs: Belleville city councillors Jack Miller and Garnet Thompson. The aldermen accepted the coveted Red Noses from past co-chairs Kristin Crowe and Rick Keven. Once again, this year, Red Nose will service Brighton. “Operation Red Nose encourages everyone in our community to be responsible and keep our streets safe,” said Dave Allen, CEO of Central East Ontario YMCA and a co-ordinator of the program, locally. “If you drink don’t drive, a call to Operation Red Nose will ensure that you and your vehicle will get home safely.” The new co-chairs were enthusiastic in their new roles. “I have volunteered many evenings with Red Nose and have met many of the volunteers who provide such a great service. I am excited to have opportunity to take on the role of honorary co-chair with council colleague Jack Miller,” said Thompson. Miller agreed adding “he was absolutely honoured to be invited to take on the role and looks forward to meeting many of the volunteers who make such a difference”

patched after a caller phones the central dispatch centre. The team is dispatched and the motorist will be safely driven home in his or her own vehicle. There is no charge for the service, however donations are accepted with all of the donations going to the host organization, the YMCA, and to Camp Trillium. An incentive for both councillors getting involved, they said, is the added connection that proceeds raised through Operation Red Nose Quinte go towards supporting the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign and to Camp Trillium, through Rotary Sunrise Club. This year’s campaign will begin on the last weekend in November starting Friday, Nov. 25 and operates the next three Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights leading up to Christmas with the final evening being Thursday December 31, New Year’s Eve. Because of timing and the day when Christmas falls this year, Operation Red Nose will be operating a total of 16 nights, the most nights the program has been offered. Register Online – The Operation Red Nose service is entirely operated by volunteers. Anyone interested in volunteering for a guaranteed night of fun is invited to complete a Volunteer Application online at rednosequinte. com. How Red Nose works: There will also be registration days A team of three volunteers are dis-

at Red Nose Headquarters, at 160 Catherine Street, Belleville, on Thursday November 17 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday November 19 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. In 2015, there were more than 200 volunteers over the 12 nights the program operated; giving more than 793 volunteer nights, drove more than 41,500 km over 1,385 trips, deliv-

ering 2,599 people home safely. “The program could not do what it does without our volunteers and our more than 80 sponsors who annually donate and contribute both financially and by offering goods and services to the program,” said Allen. Operation Red Nose is a national road safety campaign covering 99 communities in seven provinces.

For more information please contact: Operation Red Nose at info@rednose.com or call 613-962-4334. Routes and area here: http://www.rednosequinte.com/about.htm Anyone needing more information also may contact David Allen at 613966-9622 or by email at david_allen@ ymca.ca

Councillors Jack Miller and Garnet Thompson clown around with their new facial features – the traditional red nose signifying their taking over as co-chairs of the annual Operation Red Nose campaign. Jack Evans/Metroland

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Another shot fired at shooting range Dear Editor, Codrington is a quiet, peaceful, farming community. We like it that way. We do not want to be “citified” as promised by the Gun Coalition people who want to build a shooting range on Cameron Road. Residents living in this area are greatly upset by the proposed gun range. The Woof family at one time owned and farmed these lands for many years. In fact, Jim’s father, Clarence Woof and then his daughter Jean Gunter, owned the land now being torn up for this range and he farmed it in a way that helped protect the marsh and swamp that sits directly across from it. We are very upset that William Benn has already started building his facility on this lot without any approvals from the municipality.

We don’t want our neighbourhood to sound like a war zone with any number of the 500 shooting club members firing restricted guns 7 days a week and calling it sport. We don’t want to see the already poor quality of Cameron Road made any worse by the traffic this will bring. We don’t want to see the pollution created by this operation affect the wildlife in the Murray Marsh. We attended the meeting in August and saw pictures of the kinds of guns and their ammunition that will be stored on this site and it doesn’t fit in with what we believe our community should be. Of the 50 plus people who attended this meeting, there was only one person in favour. William Benn also tried to tell everyone he was a local member of our community. In fact, he lives

in Wooler, a good number of miles away and he said he had no intention of moving to Codrington. It will be nice for him to be able to go home to a quiet, peaceful community while he leaves us here in Codrington to listen to never ending gunshots. Our neighbourhood is circulating a petition against this gun shooting range and very quickly we have collected dozens of signatures. This is a grave concern for all Brighton citizens. We hope everyone who disagrees with this shooting range will sign our petition and speak to municipal council members, and keep the gun range out of Codrington. Jim & Leslie Woof Codrington

MFRC ‘mud kitchen’ a hit with children and staff BY ROSS LEES

CFB Trenton - Play-based learning is the new direction for day cares in Ontario and the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) may have just set the new benchmark, thanks to the creativity of one of their staff members. Maria Usher spent Sunday designing and setting up a “mud kitchen” in the playground at the MFRC and it has been a hit with children and staff alike. “I just wanted to create a fun, inviting space for the children,” she said. “Play imitates life, so I wanted to make it real for them.” According to Usher, these mud kitchens provide endless opportunities for free, creative expression, problem solving and social interaction. “Children get to create on their own terms,” she stated. The beauty of this creation is that it does not cost a lot to create and implement, Usher noted, adding this example cost a total of $58. “We had some donations from our community, including pallets for the wood and large spools for tables. We utilized some local talent in the making of the actual sink frames. The rest of the materials came from local thrift stores. We don’t need to spend a lot of money to make our children happy, just time,” she added. “We have a strong, dedicated team at our center and this is just one example of

the wonderful things that are happening in our center both indoors and outdoors,” she said. Tamara Kleinschmidt, the executive director of the Trenton MFRC called the effort “extraordinary.” “It hit all of those great theory pieces but, in actuality, we all just wanted to sit and play,” she said of their first visit to the colourful and creative kitchen. “It’s impressive and exactly where we want to be going and the opportunities are fantastic,” she said of the space. It is not an easy creation, she added, because the facility has to meet all regulatory aspects including materials and what’s safe and not safe, she stated. “It’s far more challenging than you would expect to be able to come up with these spaces because you have to meet all the requirements, whether it be safety, fire, public health

or our program supervisor’s licensing,” she said. “For someone to be that creative and be able to manage it is pretty impressive.” “The whole province is moving to playbased learning and it is really interesting to see it move from theory to application, especially within the regulatory framework. It’s very challenging to say the least and she

just did such a beautiful job with it,” Kleinschmidt noted. And, in case you haven’t caught the drift yet, Usher also made her boss and her other staff members very happy. Sounds also like it contain a good measure of job security.

Trenton craftsman creates cool idea for when the cold sets in

Trenton – When winter settles it’s icy grip on most homes, one Trenton entrepreneur and craftsman thinks thicker is better. Dr. David Teertstra, materials scientist and entrepreneur, has created an insulated door six inches thick, something he definitely couldn’t find on the market and which he believes will fend off even the most stubborn cold of winter. When approached by a friend who is renovating a 19th century home in Prince Edward County, Teertstra was asked to replicate the authentic style of the original front door and create something with insulation in order to preserve heat. “This old Victorian house had such poor insulation that there was actually frost on the floor in the winter, he had a mattress shoved up against the door so he really wanted an insulated door,” said Teertstra. With a background in construction and renovating over the years, Teertstra created a workshop and got to work designing an insulated door, as thick as the wall. There are a number of technical issues when creating a door six inches thick. “You can’t swing it closed, one part will hit the door frame and then when it finally closes there’s going to be a one inch gap,” he said. To fix this problem, Teertstra designed a staggered edge to the door with a triple closure and weather-stripped sealing. The next technical issue was the doorknob because conventional doorknobs are made for doors two inches thick. Instead of extending the doorknob with metal work, Teertstra decided to create a recessed area on the inside of the door that is two inches thick. Next, the finished door ended up weighing 200 pounds, requiring the construction of a reinforced doorframe. “I’ve never seen anything in a house or on the market, the door as thick as a wall, never seen it, because you have to solve these technical issues,” said Teertstra.

The door has the same character as the original with authentic bevelled glass, period-style woodworking and even the same stainless glass that Teertstra restored, an important touch, he said. “You can’t buy period doors on the market, suiting the 1890’s,” he said. “It’s so colourful and bright and yet that’s how it was when it was first built.” Dave Kirkley, owner of the Victorian home, said he has been restoring the home on and off over Dr. David Teertstra stands in front of the insulated door he created six inches thick the past six years. for a home built in 1873 in Prince Edward County.

Ellis challenges students to really, really read in 150 Literacy Challenge Trenton – All local students, from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, are invited to read 150 pieces of literature to participate in the “Bay of Quinte Canada 150 Literacy Challenge.” Neil Ellis, Member of Parliament for the Bay of Quinte, sat down to read with Kindergarten students at the Quinte West Public Library, where he announced the new Canada 150 initiative. In honour of Canada’s upcoming 150th Birthday, students are challenged to read 150 pieces of literature written by a Canadian author or based on Canadian heritage and culture, including books, short stories and media or magazine articles. “What better way to inspire and foster a personal connection between children and our proud Canadian heritage and culture than by helping commemorate our nation’s 150th birthday by encouraging literacy and instilling a love for reading” said Ellis. Children must read the material or have it read to them and then are asked to record the name of the author and title on the supplied forms, which can be found online at

nellis.liberal.ca, requested by email at neil. ellis@parl.gc.ca or at participating schools and public libraries. All students who complete the challenge will receive a special edition commemorative Canada 150 certificate and a letter signed by Ellis. “The Canada 150 Reading Challenge is such a great way to encourage school age children to explore all the great Canadian writing out there,” said Quinte West Children’s Librarian, Suzanne Humphreys. “I love the way that it is not restricted to books, but can be anything from a Dennis Lee poem to a chapter on Canadian history to an article in Chickadee,” she said. “At the Quinte West Public Library we will be doing everything we can to support this endeavour by guiding local children toward the wonderful resources available here.” Completed reading lists can be submitted to Ellis’ office by mail or in person at 100 Station St., Belleville Ont. K8N 2S5. List can also be submitted by email, neil. ellis@parl.gc.ca or by fax at 613-969-3313.

CFB Trenton – Canada’s largest air base now has a perfect place for all to share a pint, regardless of rank. 8 Wing Commander Colonel Colin Keiver officially opened the all-ranks Earl of Bessborough Social House at 8 Wing Trenton Thursday, Nov. 10. Over the past four months, contractor and television personality Damon Bennett has transformed an under-utilized lounge – the former Junior Ranks Mess - into an all ranks gathering place. The Earl of Bessborough Social House will provide a place to foster community among the men and women at 8 Wing and

provide a venue for base events, said Keiver. “One of my goals as Wing Commander is to get people to talk to one another, because if people talk to one another they work better as a team. What better way to get people talking to one another than to have this gathering place for the men and women of 8 Wing?” said Keiver. For the contractor, the job was a labour of love. “To be able to work here at 8 Wing has been the best experience of my life. There’s so many different elements to it. I’m not just working on the Earl of Bessborough, I get to see what the folks at 8 Wing do every day, and I’ve been able to partake in that. It has been an unbelievable experience and probably something that is going to be hard to live up to,” noted Bennet, a star master builder who’s appeared on Holmes on Homes and several other HGTV shows. The project was made possible by the donation of building materials, services and time from many businesses and individuals. Furniture and fixings were donated by Toronto-based Prime Pubs, all of which were carefully removed and recycled from the former Fion MacCool’s in Toronto. Several other businesses and individuals donated materials, services and time. The project also benefited from the hard work of Loyalist College radio and television and construction and renovation students who completed work placements. Kennametal Stellite, of Belleville, created and donated an exact replica of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan Memorial Gates to highlight 8 Wing’s history and heritage within the social house. The willingness of the community to contribute to this endeavour is a true testament to 8 Wing’s strong ties with the community, sad the base commander. The social house is named for Vere Ponsonby, the 9th Earl of Bessborough, who served as His Excellency the Governor General of Canada between 1931 and 1935. It was Lord Ponsonby who laid the commemorative cornerstone at 8 Wing Trenton upon the base’s opening in August 1931.

Trenton Golden Hawks baptize RCAF Flyers sweaters with 3-2 win over Newmarket BY ROSS LEES

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks, displaying their new RCAF Flyers jerseys, were flying high in the first period of their game against the Newmarket Hurricanes on Remembrance Day, scoring a 3-2 win. 8 Wing Commander Col. Colin Keiver and Trenton Mayor Jim Harrison were joined by a Legion Branch 110 member to officially drop the puck on Nov. 11 in remembrance of those who fought and gave the supreme sacrifice in conflicts around the world. The Golden Hawks notched first-period goals by Liam Morgan (10:17) and Jeremy Pullara (13.31) to take an early game lead and Brandon Marinelli missed a wide open net in another scoring opportunity. Michael Silverie launched the Golden Hawks attack in the second period (7:02) to give them a 3-0 lead, but Newmarket’s B. Mundell put a wall of defence in conjunction with good protection from his defensive corps to shut out the Golden Hawks scorers for the remainder of the game. In a stellar third period for the Hurricanes, McKenzie Gray (5:19) and Christian Dedonato (12:24) gave the Golden Hawks a scare as they applied pressure

throughout the third period, although Golden Hawks’ goalie Joseph Murdaca shut down any further scoring attempts. “We came out strong but then we got a bit sloppy and took some bad penalties with the result that we let Newmarket back into the game,” coach Jerome Dupont said of their strong start to the game. “With Newmarket’s new coaching staff, they are a much improved team desperate to make the playoffs and a lot more difficult to play against,” he added. The new RCAF Flyers jerseys will be the team’s third jerseys and will be worn on special occasions, according to John McDonald, the business director and assistant general manager of the Golden Hawks.

Slapshots The Golden Hawks continue to lead the East Division of the Ontario Junior Hockey League with 37 points and are second in the league to Georgetown. Trenton remains ranked eighth nationally with only the Cobourg Cougars (3) and the Georgetown Raiders (4) ranked ahead of them in the Canadian Junior Hockey League rankings.

Hastings Social Services Committee pleased with job numbers BY JACK EVANS

It was a good news day for the Hastings/Quinte Social Services Committee at its last meeting. The best of that news was a report showing a significant drop in welfare case numbers, thanks largely to the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employment Connectionâ&#x20AC;? program. During October, it filled 75 jobs, generating an average wage of $12.68 an hour, well above the minimum wage. Since the program was

A breakdown of the jobs by sector showed 35 per cent retail customer service sector, 30 per cent manufacturing, 20 per cent general labour and 11 per cent in trades. In other good news, the committee was informed of a sharp increase in the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for public housing for next year. The amount could be as high as $176,000

Honey, shrimp, beer – signs of region’s diverse ag/food industry BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – A great party could be hosted with products made by Eastern Ontario businesses that received the Premier’s award for agri-food innovation this year. A shrimp producer, a honey maker, a producer of fermented goods and, oh yes, a brewer were among the businesses honoured at a ceremony at Loyalist College on Wednesday, Nov. 9. An innovative recycling business also took home the prestigious award. It all left those in attendance with a wholesome feeling; that Eastern Ontario is a region with a vibrant agriculture industry and plenty of successful businesses that can help the provincial economy grow Ceremony host Lou Rinaldi, the Liberal MPP for Northumberland-Quinte West, said the province has a goal of creating 120,000 jobs in agriculture by 2020. “With your help we’re on the way to reaching that goal,” he said. Here are details on each winner: First Ontario Shrimp Ltd., Campbellford Inspired by reports of indoor aquaculture in the U.S., the Cocchio family set out to become Ontario’s first shrimp producers. The family secured an aquaculture licence, installed 16 saltwater tanks in a converted hog barn and worked with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to import feed and shrimp larvae. With their closed loop system, the Cocchios can produce 136 kilograms of Pacific white shrimp a week. Honey Pie Hives and Herbals, Milford

Innovation has helped Honey Pie Hives and Herbals, a Prince Edward County operation, keep buzzing with Bay Woodyard and Gavin North selling their honey and transforming their wax into candles and lotion, making sure nothing goes to waste. They also extract value from the water used to rinse the honey-covered wax uncappings. Instead of tossing the water, the duo ferment it to produce mead, an ancient type of wine. MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co., Bath On their 232-year-old family farm, Daniel and Ivan MacKinnon are taking local to a new level. In response to demand for locally produced beer, the two brothers converted a century barn into a brewing facility. Today, the operation produces beet-infused ales, German wheat beers and wild peppermint stouts, all made with their own hops, wheat and malting barley.

Loyalist students host â&#x20AC;&#x153;swab clinicâ&#x20AC;? with hopes of saving lives BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Get swabbed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it might just allow you to save someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. That was the message delivered to visitors to Loyalist Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cafeteria on Wednesday, Nov. 9, where a group of nursing students were holding a clinic to fill a stem cell and marrow network database. The event was held with help from Canadian Blood Services, which manages the network called OneMatch. People aged 17 to 35 were eligible to participate. They were asked to complete a health screening and consent to participate form. They were then asked to put cotton swabs in their mouths to collect swabs of saliva. Those swabs would be sent off to a lab and screened to see if they can potentially save the life of someone in need of a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, such as someone suffering from leukemia or an immune system disorder. Samantha Robinson, a student leading the effort, pointing out that if anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donated a swab gets a call saying theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a match for a patient in need â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely one

of the few people who can save that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.â&#x20AC;? She said that people in need of a transplant only have a 25 per cent chance of finding a match within their own family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for the database to collect as many samples as possible. When a person is deemed to be a match, they are then asked to undergo additional testing to determine the full extent of compatibility. If the person passes all tests and is agreeable to help, OneMatch will make it easy for them to do so â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and even compensate them for travel and accommodation costs for a procedure. If a person is donating stem cells, they will be asked to take a drug called granulocte colony stimulating factor for four or five days and then have blood drawn through a needle. To donate bone marrow, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a surgical procedure. Robinson said she and her fellow students wanted to break down some of the myths about bone marrow and stem cell donations. Many people assume itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a painful ordeal, but they should instead

look at it as an exciting opportunity to help another person. Those who greeted potential swabbers at the cafeteria on Wednesday cheerfully asked â&#x20AC;&#x153;would you do anything to save someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.â&#x20AC;? Robinson was one of a small group of stu-

dents participating in the clinic as an extracurricular activity, as it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of their curriculum. Their goal was to get 50 people to donate to the database. By the end of the clinic, they had obtained 100.

United Way of Quinte changes name to United Way of Hastings & Prince Edward

The local United Way chapter has a new name to better establish the region it serves. The former United Way of Quinte is now the United Way of Hastings Prince Edward. “The change to Hastings & Prince Edward is more representative of the organization’s catchment area,” said executive director Judi Gilbert. “As the organization has evolved and the agencies supported has grown to include all of Hastings and Prince Edward it made perfect sense to have a name that reflects our entire area of focus.” “This has been on our radar and has been a priority for the organization and we are thrilled with the change,” she added. Today, the local United Way supports more than 75 programs that fall within the boundaries of Hastings & Prince Edward counties, as far north to Maynooth, east to Deseronto, south to the shores of Lake Ontario and west to the Brighton border. The local United Way held its first board meeting in May of 1958 when it was known as Community Chest. In 1968 the name was changed to United Community Services of Belleville & District. This name remained until 1992 when the organization became United Way of Quinte. Gilbert noted there is currently a misconception that because the United Way office is located in Belleville it does not provide significant support to organizations in smaller rural centres. “The name change sends a very clear message to our stakeholders, corporate partners, individual donors and volunteers that our focus continues to be the entire region and in addition to continu-

ing to support programs throughout Hastings & Prince Edward it is equally important that we continue to look for donor support from each small town, rural community and city within Hastings & Prince Edward Counties like Madoc, Quinte West, Picton, Tweed and Bancroft,” said Gilbert. In 2015, the communities of Hastings & Prince Edward counties helped United Way of Quinte raise more than $2.1 million, which assisted the organization in funding more than 75 local programs and initiatives throughout Hastings & Prince Edward counties.

Members Approve the Merger of Bayshore Credit Union and QuintEssential Credit Union November 9, 2016

Ambulance tenders sought for county EMS BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County - Expenditures totalling close to three quarters of a million dollars for new ambulances without tender calls aroused concern for Quinte West Coun. Dave McCue at the Hastings/Quinte Emergency Services Committee last week. When he first broached his concerns, he was told that tenders were called a few years ago and the company the committee is using was by far the lowest and best quality at that time. A second company (there are only two in the business) was used for one or two vehicles, but this led to lack of uniformity for placement and type of equipment on board as well as parts replacement problems. Nonetheless McCue continue to pursue his hope for tenders for such major expenditures, fielding a motion calling for tenders to be used for the next go- round of purchases. The service normally buys at least four and sometimes five such vehicles per year. Warden Rick Phillips agreed with his concern, but said that rather than lock the committee into a new system right away, a report from staff should be sought first. McCue agreed to amend his motion accordingly. Members also reviewed a “multicasualty incident” which took place Oct. 14 on Highway 28 in the northern part of neighbouring Lennox and Addington. As Bancroft was the nearest hospital, that was where most were taken and treated. A busload of seniors was involved and

the local medical and hospital staff, plus some Hastings emergency and ambulance personnel, all pitched in to help, drawing a hearty expression of praise. Some 26 patients were transported from the scene with 16 to North Hastings hospital, 12 by ambulance and 26 moved to various hospitals. The incident also involved police and fire crews and Quinte Health Care officials.

Bayshore Credit Union and QuintEssential Credit Union today announced that their members have overwhelmingly approved the merger of the two financial institutions. At meetings held on November 7th and 8th, the members approved a resolution to amalgamate the two credit union’s effective December 31, 2016. This was the final regulatory step in a process which began in June of this year. The approval of the Financial Services Commission of Ontario was received on September 29, 2016. The approval of the members now paves the way for Quinte First Credit Union Limited to begin operations on January 1, 2017. Quinte First Credit Union will be the only community owned financial institution in Quinte. With assets of over $188,000,000 and more than 14,000 members, Quinte First will serve the community through two branches in Belleville, two branches in Trenton and a fifth branch in Frankford. With five branches and a total of seven ATMs, Quinte First will have one of the largest networks in the area. Carrie Gregoire, the current President and CEO of QuintEssential Credit Union will assume the same role for Quinte First. She describes the merger in these terms, “The creation of Quinte First will allow our community to benefit from one strong, engaged, truly local credit union. All of our decisions will be made locally and all of our investments will continue to help grow our strong and vibrant community. With 120 years of combined service to the residents of Quinte, Quinte First will further our vision of improving lives and strengthening our community. We’re pleased to be delivering co-operative banking with a partner such as Bayshore; this is truly a partnership of equals.” Joe Bell, current CEO of Bayshore Credit Union will take on the new role of Vice-President of Operations. He stated that, “This merger creates a very exciting prospect for our members and the community as a whole. The community will now have a truly local financial institution for all of their banking needs both personal and business. As the only locally owned, member driven financial institution in the region, Quinte First Credit Union presents a unique value proposition that no other financial institution in the region can match.” For more information please contact Carrie Gregoire, President and CEO at QuintEssential Credit Union (613) 966-4111 ext. 229 and Joe Bell, CEO at Bayshore Credit Union (613) 966-5550.

More help for CAS children BY JACK EVANS

A good number of children in care with the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society stand to benefit from a new provincial program to increase subsidies for post secondary education and families on low incomes. Dwayne Stacey, a staffer with the agency, said the program was first announced some months ago but then put out to field workers like himself last summer for input. Now the province is preparing to get it un-

der way. Designed especially to encourage higher education, funding will be available for CAS wards and adopted children in low income families. The package may include scholarships and also enhanced living allowances, he said. With some 400 children in care across the agency’s three-county area of Hastings, Northumberland and Prince Edward counties, “I know this will be of benefit to a good number of our children,” Stacey said in a telephone interview.

Truck and cow crash kills Angus Thurlow – It was a dark-night encounter between a black cow and a transport truck that didn’t end well for either the cow or the truck driver. Fire officials said the collision occurred at about 2:45 a.m. today in the north lane of Highway 37 near Harmony Road. Volunteer firefighters from Firehall 4 in Thurlow were called to the scene and found a double-trailer semi-truck operated by UPS which had entered a steep ditch

at a high rate of speed. Fire officials said the collision occurred when a “black Angus cow” ran into the roadway and struck the cab of the truck. The truck had reportedly been carrying volatile liquids, but none spilled and the driver received only minor scrapes in the crash. The cow died in the collision. Provincial police and heavy wreckers remained on the scene into the daylight hours.

“Beanstock” panto crew start rehearsals BY JACK EVANS

TICO#50007364

There’s an incident reported from the famous Battle of Waterloo when one of Wellington’s generals, admiring a particularly successful advance, yells out to the commanding officer: “Good beans, Wellington.” Wellington’s reply as recorded was: “My good man, if there’s one thing about which I know practically nothing, it is beans.” It remains to be seen whether the highpowered cast of this season’s annual pantomime at the Stirling Festival Theatre ‘Jack and the Beanstalk,” can shed any light on this. For one thing, there’s definitely a Panto cast – Left to right at the start of rehearsals, front row, are: Megan Sadler, Deb- battle between a youthful hero named jack and a “giant” corporation, which is trying bie Collins and JP Baldwin; back row- Matthew Lawrence, Stefne Mercedes, Jacqueline to take over the family farm. There’s also Sadler, music director, Don Thompson and Amir Haidar. the usual cross dresser, played again by JP Jack Evans/Metroland Baldwin and a fairy, by Debbie Collins, both regulars in the cast. The role of Jack will be played by Don GoMcCoy.com Thompson, a young Foxboro native who 613-969-8884 has made a name for himself as a standup 81 Millennium PKWY.

day break at Christmas, and ending with a New Year Eve dinner party and show. Smith also improvised a “naughty” version of the show, another British tradition. She is credited with “inventing” this aspect of a pantomime in Ontario. It is a tricky procedure, as the naughty lines must be improvised by cast members. That means using an almost completely different script for the same show and avoiding mixing them up. This week marks the first full week of rehearsals for the cast, starting with a traditional meet and greet in the theatre’s upstairs lounge and a first read-through. It is a brief time of fellowship, getting caught up on the comings and goings across Ontario and Canada by fellow actors, then getting down to business with the script. Writer of the original new script for this year’s show is again Ken McDougall, who will also be show director. The cast will include (of course) Debbie Collins as the “Fairy of the Field,” JP Baldwin, in drag as usual, as Jack’s mother, Pearle; Dan Curtis Thompson as Jack Jr.; Megan Poole, as Jacklyn, (Jack’s sister); Matthew Lawrence, as “The Mayor”; Gail Friday (the CEO’s personal assistant), played by Stefne Mercedes; and Charles Edward Olgbogle (CEO and Villain), by Amir Haidar. Jacqueline Sadler is music director. The show opens Nov. 25 and runs through Dec. 31. Family panto prices are $12 to $28 with a family four pack of $68; naughty panto is $19 to $40; New Year’s Even naughty show is $44 to $49 plus $34 for dinner.

ANNIVERSARY

WILFRED JOHN POUND December 25, 1919 – November 10, 2016 In the dawn of a new day as the sunlight broke on the horizon Wilfred John Pound passed away at home surrounded by the love of his family. Wilf was blessed to have spent 66 years with the love of his life Melba (Rorabeck). He will be sadly missed but joyfully remembered by their children Shelley, Paula, Carla and Ritchie as well as sons in law Craig and Bill. Wilf loved following the lives and sharing joy in the activities and accomplishments of their grandchildren, Paige and her husband Mario Paz, Jenner and Kelsey Stevenson and Bailey and Ashley Pryke. Great grandbaby Kaedyn brought a smile and twinkle to Wilf’s eyes. Wilf is fondly remembered by sister Kate and predeceased by his parents Fredrick James and Mable Annie (Page) and siblings Ken, Fred, Vern, Victor, Eva and Bob. Born in Brighton, Wilf, like many other young men joined the local militia in 1936. When the war broke out in 1939 he joined the Midland Regiment and guarded key locations across Canada. After arriving in England in 1943, he became a Cameron Highlander of Ottawa for the remainder of the war. Upon his return to Brighton in 1945 he became a local barber and in 1952 began working in the post office, becoming the post master in 1957 until his retirement in 1979. Wilf was very active in the community as a 77-year member and a past president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 100, a Mason, a member of Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church and the Brighton Curling Club. Wilf and Melba’s travels back to the beaches of Normandy and to Holland for commemorative ceremonies were highlights of their lives. Wilf was recognized in 2012 with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and in 2014, awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour for his D Day participation. Wilf leaves behind an everlasting legacy of kindness, bravery, generosity and love and he will be sadly missed, always respected, forever loved and always in the hearts of the family he cherished. We will celebrate the life of this much loved and respected man at Trinity St. Andrew’s United Church Saturday November 19th at 11 AM. Visitation on Friday at Brighton Funeral Home from 2-4 PM and 7-9 PM. Our deepest gratitude to Dr. MacIntyre and Peter Arbiter and their staffs, VON nurses, PSWs, CCAC, and Veterans’ Affairs whose support and assistance allowed Wilf to stay at “home”. Should you wish to make a memorial donation perhaps you might consider the Homeless Veterans’ Assistance Fund: Operation Leave the Streets Behind: the Canadian Veteran Service Dog Unit: Audeamus Inc.: or Trinity St. Andrew’s building fund.

Condolences received at www.MacCoubrey.com.

62 years old, passed suddenly and sadly on November 5th, 2016. Brian was a true cowboy with a passion for his horses, Harleys and guitars. He was much loved by his family and friends. Brian always had a story or joke to share, ready for a laugh and a beer. Predeceased by his father Samuel McMinn, and survived by his mother May, and twin sister Ann (Tony) Georgio. Brian will be missed terribly by his wife of 27 years, Christine, and children Lee (Linda), Stephanie (Brian), Blaine, and Darcy. Grandpa Beard and his baconand-egg ice cream breakfasts will also be missed by his grandchildren Ayden, Evan, Teah, Cieran and Sammy. There are too many family members, friends and ‘brothers’ to list but you all know who you are, and how important you were to him. Please contact the family for the service details.

Dan Clost Gardens are full of prickly things, mostly plants but sometimes people. Prickly people should not be in a garden unless they’ve entered therein for a self-therapy session. There are times when I’m a titch out of sorts and few minutes spent in the gar-

den restores my wellbeing. However, prickly plants is the topic for today and the idea was to make a top five list of the most prickly, yet beneficial, plants. For the purpose of this column- thorns, spines and prickles are interchangeable in terms of consequence. (A thorn is a wanna-be stem, spines are wanna-be leaves and prickles can be described as a nasty skin rash. The hort boffins will say something along the lines that a spine, e.g., is an evolutionary modification of a leaf developed as a protection against indiscriminate browsing. I’m sticking with my “wanna-be” descriptor because given their druthers, a fully developed leaf basking in the warmth of the sun is a lot more fun than just sticking out like a sore thumb waiting to give someone a sore thumb.)

5. Echinops ritro, Globe thistle, This is not a plant where you grab a mittful of stems. The leaves terminate in spiny bits that are quite adept at penetrating even the most calloused gardener’s palm. And that is the only bad thing to be said about this underused lovely. Perhaps it is because it takes a few years for a clump to establish itself ? Or perhaps it is because it receives too much TLC? Veitch’s Blue produces golf-ball sized flowers just a titch on the blue side of violet atop silvery stems which are protected by those formidable dark green leaves. This lassie prefers not-rich soil, not-moist soil, not-cool soil (read full sun), and not much care. It should be a mainstay in any xeriscaping design. 4. Opuntia sp, aka prickly pear cactus. There are actually four species of cacti native to Canada although the prickly pear is the most suited to our local gardens; in fact, there was a grouping of little prickly pear, continued on pg 23

The Good Earth Five of our favourite prickly plants - continued

O. fragilis, found to be growing happily to the southwest of Ottawa. Here is a ground hugging, yellow-flowered plant that will happily share a bed with Sea Holly, providing a wonderful contrast to challenge any designer. How many of you thought that Canadian Hardiness Zone 4a would be acceptable? It is not the most handsome plant but there is an appealing ruggedness that can be used to advantage. 3. Rosa spp. For this category, the Fairy Rose scratches its way to the top of the ouch scale; one might even ascribe “vicious” to the recurved barbs which easily penetrate the thickest leather gloves. The safest way to prune Fairy is to hire out the job. However, once the trimming is finished, this lassie will adorn itself in a continuous bloom of dainty pink flowers from mid-July to late November in most years. This polyantha (many little flowers) is ideal for as an accent or medium sized borders.

2. Eleutherococcus sieboldianus (once called Acanthopanax) but we prefer to say Five-leaf Aralia because any plant needing more than four syllables is just showing off. There is nothing overly showy about this chappie other than the dark green palmate leaves which, as a background, can be useful. Here is a plant that stretches up to 8’ in dry shady areas; think small urban lots where tall buildings act as canyon walls and ground water is almost non-existent. 1. Berberis thunbergii, Japanese barberry. From short yellow ground huggers to well behaved deep burgundy globes to taller ramblers of green with outstanding fall colour, there is a spot in almost any estate. Why does this chappie make it to number one on this list? The piercing spines make an impenetrable barrier that even the toughest alley cat can’t get through. That’s my top five, feel free to add your own.
