Renovation project for library will kickoff the new year BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton – Despite increased costs, the town’s expansion project at 35 Alice St. will go ahead. On Monday, Nov. 20, council heard the project would exceed its $1-million budget. The lowest bid, which council has approved, was from Jeffrey G. Wallans Construction, for a total of $1,095,000. Costs for the project will further increase considering both HST and additional contract administration and inspection fees. All in, this means the project is now over budget by a little more than $179,000 and the total cost for the project estimated at about $1,179,272. The big focus of the project is the expansion of the library. Library board chairman Bob Burke was in attendance Monday and spoke following council’s stamp of approval for the project. “…The board of trustees and the staff are thrilled to death that we’re moving forward with renovations to the library,” said Burke. The chairman wants both the public and the majority of council who voted in support of the project to know, the board and library staff are exceptionally grateful. He’s pretty sure this goes for the 7,000 cardholders in the town too. While it has been a bit of a rocky road, Burke was clearly excited Monday that the town is finally on the path to seeing a library fit and large enough for the 21st century. The project does look like it will be completed later than predicted, as the now anticipated timeline

puts completion of the expansion around June 29, 2018. Residents may recall the managing partner with the Ventin Group visited Brighton back in August, to showcase the working drawings for the project and to talk with residents and council about the expansion. During that time, it was said the project would hopefully be complete by April 2018. Staff is now estimating a construction period of about 26 weeks, starting on Jan. 2, 2018. The increased costs for the project did cause for some debate Monday, with some pushing for the project to be referred to coming budget discussions. This suggestion was actually first
tions and instead wanted to see the project referred to back to budget. This is not an insignificant amount and it should require further discussion given the increased costs, said Baker. Martinello similarly expressed worry and in particular with regards to consultant costs, stressing the project hadn’t even broke ground yet. He also wanted to further delve into some issues, which had yet to be resolved for him. If the project had of been put off, in all likelihood it would have to be put out to tender again, said CAO Bill Watson. In a 5-2 vote, council decided to proceed with the project. Council is also hopeful staff may yet save at least some money. It’s hoped not all of the $65,000 related to administration and inspection costs, which will include both the architect and third-party engineering consultants will be spent. It’s unknown exactly how much will go to the architect currently. The town has to rely on the architect to some degree, given it’s his design and the town is obligated in some ways, said Watson. Brighton should also have a third-party involved in inspection to some degree for protection, he added. Other members of council did express some concern with increased costs, but for many like Coun. Brian Ostrander, he also wasn’t expecting costs to get any cheaper, if council chose to refer
made by Wayne Jefferson, a local resident who spoke during the citizens comments portion of the meeting and prior to council’s discussions surrounding the library. Jefferson wasn’t debating the need for the project, but given what he saw as significant increases and the time of year, he thought referring the project back to budget made the most sense, he said. Jefferson also had questions about space and whether long-term this expansion was the best route to also accommodate municipal staff in the next 20 years or so. Councillors John Martinello and Steven Baker shared some of those concerns. They did not vote in favour of moving ahead with renova- the project back to budget.

Nov. 16 - Northumberland OPP were called twice to a Brighton home in response to a family dispute involving two adult sisters and a younger family member. One of the sisters, a 56-year-old, was held at the Brighton detachment until sober. The investigation continues. Nov. 15 - A resident north of Campbellford called police when an elderly woman knocked on his door asking for directions to church. Officers spoke to the senior and determined that she was suffering memory loss issues and was lost. Police contacted her son who attended and took her home. - At approximately 11 p.m. police received two complaints of suspicious noises outside of homes, one in Brighton and the other in Alnwick-Haldimand Township. Officers responded to both and found no evidence of suspicious activity. In one instance the noise was found to be an outbuilding door banging against a wall in the high winds that were occurring throughout the county at the time. Nov. 14 - A homeowner on Telephone Road near Waites Road in Brighton reported that between 9 a.m. and noon, a rear basement door to the home had been forced open. Who-
ever was responsible made off with a black Honeywell fire security box containing a quantity of cash and jewelry including a Rolex Oyster Perpetual men’s watch. Nov. 13 - A backpack was reported stolen from the gym at Campbellford District High School containing an Apple Laptop (serial number FVFSQ0GCH3QD model A1466), a black-and-red Beats headphones (serial number DTXPR0L1GJ51 model 81000034), and clothing. Police responded to a domestic dispute at a Brighton home. A 44-year-old man was arrested and charged with two counts of uttering threats to damage property. Northumberland OPP ask that anyone with information on the thefts to call the nearest OPP detachment. To remain anonymous, call the Peterborough/Northumberland Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) where you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 and not have to appear in court. Northumberland OPP officers investigated nine accidental 911 calls, 11 motor vehicle collisions, and 46 traffic-related complaints among the 232 incidents they dealt with last week. They also conducted five RIDE programs during the same period.

Brighton CAO talks time, costs for Trent Hills thief sent to prison for two years new wastewater plant TODD MCEWEN
BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — It will likely take more than four years to build a mechanical wastewater treatment plant for Brighton and cost about $25 million, says CAO Bill Watson. What’s more, the process shouldn’t start until several studies are completed. As council continues to take a closer look at building a new plant, the CAO recently delved into the basics concerning design and construction, as well as costs for Brighton and users of the system. “If the municipality were to embark on this project today, based on current costs and potential financial escalations, it is reasonable to expect that the total cost would be in the $25-milrange,” Watson wrote in his report to council. The earliest reference and estimate for a treatment plant that Watson found dated back to 2009, at about $17 million. Numerous estimates have been provided since, and most put the cost in 2017 dollars in the $20- to $25-million range, the CAO reports. This figure would include design and construction, but does not take into account land acquisition or potential changes to the collection system, if either is required. And this could be the case, if the new plant site wasn’t near the existing facility. Costs will further escalate in the two- to threeand-a-half per cent range annually, depending on market conditions and construction activity, said Watson. If Brighton were to proceed with the project now, Watson estimates the costs to customers would be about $8,400 spread over the debenture period. This figure takes into account both current customers and projected additions to the system over the next five years. The $8,400, however, would not include the rise in operating costs associated with added capacity and plant maintenance, according to the CAO. “This would be exclusive of land costs, gravity collection system and sewage-pumping requirements, and also any cost associated with the accompanying expansion of water supply capacity to match,” said Watson. Consultants previously estimated annual operating costs would be about $750,000 for a mechanical plant. They also share the opinion the facility could be oversized for much of its life, if construction were to start soon. As water and sewage treatment are linked services, any consideration for significant capacity changes at the plant should be linked to similar considerations regarding the ability to treat and deliver comparable quantities of potable water and supply to fire services for related growth, ex-

plains Watson. To date, there is no plan to significantly increase municipal water supply. Watson has suggested Brighton undertake a number of studies before engaging in the process for a new plant. Having a better understanding of municipal growth when looking at increasing capacity for sewage treatment and water supply makes the most sense, says the CAO. Watson has recommended capacity analysis studies be completed in the next few years, while the municipality’s official plan is also updated. It’s these studies that should govern the decision about “timing of the process for capacity expansion.” Additional land may also be needed for a new plant and for associated parking, deliveries, storage and reserve area. Watson said up to five acres could be required. The most ideal location would be near the existing facility, so collection systems need minimal changes, he noted. It’s unknown if there is enough space within the municipality’s property for a new plant. There is vacant land adjacent to the property, but this would mean the municipality would have to negotiate for or expropriate that land, once requirements for a plant are better understood. One day, a new plant will be needed, but in the meantime there’s no “immediate urgency,” considering the current growth rate and existing capacity, Watson has told council. He estimates it will be almost 19 years (at the earliest) before capacity of the current system is reached. The timing and duration to build a new plant may also be largely dependent on funding assistance.
Northumberland – A Trent Hills man who admitted to breaking into residences and stealing property while released on bail was sent to prison for two years. John MacInnis, 53, was escorted to a prisoner’s box in a Cobourg courtroom on Nov. 8, where he stood accused of multiple break and enters, theft and failing to comply to court orders from a series of crimes committed between April and October in Trent Hills and Northumberland County. Justice Lorne Chester acknowledged the Crown’s request for two years in jail and MacInnis’ personal plea to spend time behind federal bars. “You’re going to get your wish,” Justice Chester said. According to the Crown, MacInnis was arrested on April 21 following a break-in at a 56-year-old woman’s residence where jewelry, a laptop with a cat sticker and groceries were stolen. The house was also ransacked. Court heard during the break-in, the woman’s grandson travelled by the residence and noticed a bicycle belonging to MacInnis parked out front. Later that day, the grandson visited a friend’s house where MacInnis was residing and noticed MacInnis in possession of a laptop with a cat sticker. Court heard MacInnis explained he was trying to steal the woman’s drugs. MacInnis was later arrested and taken to a nearby OPP detachment where he was

positioned beside another inmate. While the inmates sat on a bench and tied their shoes, MacInnis stole the other inmate’s bag of property. Police later searched MacInnis’ residence and found the items. MacInnis was released from police custody with a promise to notify police if he changed addresses. On June 20, police attended MacInnis’ last known residence and discovered it was abandoned. Police didn’t hear or learn about MacInnis’ whereabouts until they received a report on July 15 from a Mac’s Milk in Campbellford claiming a man entered a back room during a delivery and stole 82 cartons of cigarettes valued at $100 each. Police identified the man as MacInnis after viewing security footage. The cigarettes were not recovered. Further, on July 23, a suspect entered a residence through a bedroom window and stole about $1,600 in property. While in the residence, the suspect left behind a cigarette butt and police traced the DNA back to MacInnis. The homeowners claimed they did not know MacInnis. “He was on bail, but continued to commit offences,” Crown attorney Deirdre Bryant said. Court heard MacInnis admitted to having a drug problem at the time of the incidents. “Don’t come back Mr. MacInnis,” Justice Chester said. “You’re using too many trees on your criminal record.”

Donation will further lighthouse efforts Freedom 55 Financial regional vice-president Patrick McGruyff presented a cheque for $5,000 to Dave Sharp, chair of the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society. Photo submitted
Brighton – Freedom 55 Financial, a division of London Life Insurance, continues to show its support for the preservation of the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse. Regional vice-president Patrick McGruyff presented a cheque for $5,000 from the division, its third donation, to Dave Sharp, chair of the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society (PPLPS) recently. The effort being made “to preserve a significant piece of history in the community ... is truly a great demonstration of how positive outcomes can be achieved when the community, government and the private sector come together around a common goal,” McGruyff said in a news release. Sharp, who has been an advisor associated with London Life for more than 24 years, said he is thrilled by Freedom 55 Financial’s donation as well as excited to see the recognition it gave everyone’s efforts to preserve the lighthouse
“It will allow us to work towards the final efforts in preserving our lighthouse for future generations to come,” said Sharp, the principal of Lighthouse Wealth Management. He gave an update on the lighthouse engineering project, saying the scaffolding surrounding the lighthouse is being “winterized” to minimize snow and water leakage into the structure over the coming months. Once spring arrives, new composite white shakes will be placed on the lighthouse. Plans are still being finalized for the design and installation at the same time. Sharp reminded everyone that “a high level of fundraising” is still required and asked that families consider becoming lifetime members by donating a total of $500 to the Lighthouse Society. All donations will receive charitable tax receipts. For more information, call Sharp at 613-475-5109 or email Dsharp@pplps.ca.
Play based on war stories coming to Castleton Castleton – The final two shows for 2017 in the debut tour of Echoes of the War by J.M Barrie will be performed at the Castleton Town Hall on Nov. 25. The collection of short stories by the author of the classic children’s book, Peter Pan, was adapted for the stage by Deborah Ann Smith and had a highly successful run in Toronto and Gananoque. In Echoes of the War Barrie’s “sensitive, family portrayals of lives struggling to grasp the reality of living through the Great War are as poignant and relative today as they were when written in 1917,” Process Theatre said in a news release. The group plans to continue performing the original, thought-provoking play until the 100th anniversary of Armistice on Nov. 11, 2018. “I am grateful, proud and
excited to be returning to Canada and working as a member of this extraordinary ensemble” director Michael J. Gellman said. “JM Barrie gave us these stories about the impact of war on families over 100 years ago, to help end all wars, and now more than ever it is important to share these with everyone.” The ensemble comprises Tasia Loeffler-Vulpe, Sean Pratt, Jerome Bourgault, Vince Deiulis, Andrea Lyons and Smith playing many different roles in three different stories woven into a 75-minute production. Tickets for the two shows this Saturday, which begin at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., are $25 ($20 for veterans, seniors and industry). They are available at www.processtheatre.ca For more information call 905-376-3075.

Council starts on $2M worth of repairs, maintenance identified in EA BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — Brighton council has committed to doing at least some work with its current lagoon-based wastewater treatment system. Earlier in 2017, consultants from J.L. Richards & Associates identified an array of outstanding maintenance issues with the system. “Some of those items identified have been identified as health and safety issues also, they’re important things that we need to do,” said Mayor Mark Walas. The consultants were hired to undertake the town’s treatment system environmental assessment (EA), which council has since chose to put into abeyance. The purpose of the EA was to evaluate the current system and to “identify what is required for it to perform effectively and in accordance with regulations over a 20-year-planning period.” Brighton has long struggled to meet effluent quality compliance, in particular regarding ammonia. Consultants have urged Brighton to address the maintenance issues identified through a larger $6.5-million plan. This plan is the recommended preferred solution to the town’s wastewater troubles. The preferred solution identified by consultants suggests the installation of a complementary specialized treatment system, the removal of sludge
from lagoon cells, the upgrading and refurbishment of existing baffles, a study to optimize alum dosage, the refurbishment of constructed wetland and life cycle upgrades at the Harbour Street pumping station and the lagoon. Estimates for this work are just under $5 million. The remaining $1.5 million was suggested as a contingency. The installation of the specialized treatment system accounts for $3 million of this total. The best solution to Brighton’s ammonia problem has been debated continuously by council this year, with one half saying fixing up the current lagoon is the town’s best shot to address immediate compliance concerns and also the most fiscally-responsible action right now. The other half says a new mechanical treatment plant is the more reliable solution and best long-term to address both issues and future growth. Because of all this and with a majority moving toward a new plant, there’s been no real action regarding consultants’ recommendations for work on the current system. Most work at the municipal level, up until now, has been about the need for more research and inevitably led to the EA being put into abeyance. However, a near-unanimous council has now agreed to at least pursue the maintenance work recommended by consultants. Deputy Mayor Laura Vink and Coun. Mary Tadman spearheaded
the motion to get the work done. The two women are eager to see the system brought “up to grade” and “to see some very important maintenance” and health and safety concerns put to rest, for all people, staff included. As chief administrative officer Bill Watson brought forward his action plan to address the maintenance items on Monday, Nov. 13, Coun. John Martinello was the sole person to vote against it. As maintenance issues are addressed this will help with an overall “more efficient operation of the plant,” said Watson. As for whether maintenance work will help solve the current ammonia problem it appears unlikely. Consultants did recommend the maintenance items be addressed in concert with upgrades and specialized treatment, said Watson. A good portion of costs included in the $6.5-million proposed plan has to do with maintenance and upgrades. Each of the items identified by consultants are unique projects, with some that can be done concurrently, while others will have to be completed in series, said Watson. The survey lagoon project, at a cost of $15,000 will be tendered right away. Once completed, the design for the dredging program can be done and a tender prepared for early 2018. Costs for this are estimated between $750,000 and $1 million.
Councillor Mary Tadman listens to reports on the wastewater system. Sarah Hyatt/Metroland
The removal of sludge from lagoon cells and the upgrading and refurbishment of existing baffles are two items that will be completed in sequence, as the baffles will be done once dredging is complete. A study should also follow to confirm the most ideal placement of the baffles estimated at up to $300,000, say staff. In addition, staff reports the $30,000-optimization study should be done in late May or early June 2018. Costs to refurbish constructed wetland are estimated in the
$125-$150,000-range, with work potentially taking place midsummer 2018. As for life cycle upgrades at the Harbour Street pumping station and the lagoon, with council’s recent approval that work will now begin. The overall estimated cost is $500,000. Projects range from structural and building repairs, to electrical and mechanical upgrades. Staff will be pursuing funding opportunities where possible.

OPINION
All quiet on the climate front “Promoting coal at a climate summit is like promoting tobacco at a cancer summit,” said Michael Bloomberg, the former New York mayor, but President Donald J. Trump did exactly that. He sent team of American Gwynne Dyer adiplomats and energy executives to the annual world climate summit, being held this year in Bonn, Germany, to extol the wonders of “clean” coal. Bloomberg, now a UN special envoy for climate change, got it right. The audience at the US presentation heckled and mocked the presenters. Where people who were concerned about global warming once worried about whether the US government would dare to defy the fossil fuel lobby at home, the denialists now control the government – and it turns out not to matter all that much. There are several reasons for that. One is that global coal use has gone into steep decline as the cost of renewable energy has dropped. It’s just not competitive any more, and China and India have cancelled plans for hundreds of new coal-fired power plants this year. Even in the United States, the share of electricity coming from coal fell from 51 percent in 2008 to only 31 percent last year – and US coal companies are going bankrupt. A second reason is that Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement has had zero impact internationally. The fear that other countries would also default on their commitments proved to be unfounded, and the United States is literally the only country on the planet that does not subscribe to the treaty. Indeed, Christiana Figueres, the UN’s chief climate negotiator, actually thanked Trump for his attempt to wreck the Paris deal. “It provoked an unparalleled wave of support for the treaty,” she said. “He shored up the world’s resolve on climate action, and for that we can all be grateful.” Finally, Trump has been outflanked by a new alliance announced in Bonn on Monday that links the fifteen US states committed to strong climate action with the Canadian and Mexican governments in a continent-wide group that concentrates on phasing out coal power and boosting clean power and transport. Much of the US contribution to emissions cuts that Trump reneged on will be covered by these state-level American initiatives.
There are other causes for alarm, of course. There always are. After three years when global carbon dioxide emissions stayed steady, albeit at a very high level, they have started rising again. And there is an unexplained rise in methane emissions in the tropics, not caused by burning fossil fuels, that leads some scientists to suspect that one of the dreaded feedbacks is kicking in. Feedbacks are the spectre at the feast. You can get everything else right, your emissions are going down nicely, and you are on course to stop the warming just before the average global temperature reaches two degrees C higher – and then suddenly, the whole global system goes into overdrive. The warming that human beings have already caused has triggered some other, natural source of warming that we cannot shut off. The consensus among scientists is that the risk of triggering feedbacks rises steeply in the vicinity of 2 degrees C higher average global temperature, which is why the world’s governments have all promised never to exceed that target. But there could be some unknown trigger in the system that would set off runaway warming at a significantly lower average global temperature: the whole process, as they say, is “non-linear”. So we are still living dangerously, and it is still uncertain whether we can ratchet down emissions fast enough to stop the temperature rise in time. But there are big changes in the offing that will make it easier to cut emissions: meat substitutes and lab-grown meat, electric vehicles, and further rapid falls in the price of renewables like solar and wind. There is also now a unity of purpose that was previously absent from the climate talks: the long struggle between the rich and the poor countries over who is to blame for the problem and who pays to fix it is largely over. And although President Xi did not come in person, China is definitely taking the lead. Nobody in Bonn is celebrating the US government’s defection from the fight against climate change, but their panic is long past. The Bonn meeting has concentrated on writing the rules for measuring how countries are complying with the promises they have made on emissions cuts. It also had to figure out how to organise the five-yearly reviews at which the countries are supposed to adopt progressively higher targets for cuts. When the conference closes on Friday, there will be no exciting new announcements of breakthroughs, but we don’t need that. The real breakthrough came in Paris in 2015, and the objective now is to keep the show on the road. So far, so good.

Colleges today? Bill Davis must weep

Editorial by Chris Malette Most Ontario colleges were founded between 1965 and 1967, after the passage of then Minister of Education Bill Davis’ Bill-153 on May 21, 1965, to create a post-secondary educational system different from that of universities. The original intent of community colleges, in Davis’ creation, was to offer “career-oriented, post-secondary education and training to assist individuals in finding and keeping employment...” and the original concept was to do so using staff with solid experience in their fields, with assistance in transitioning to an academic setting, to teach first-hand knowledge to those going out into the field. Today? Not so much, as the college system has now been supplanted with something that resembles university-lite, in which “professors,” if they are to be offered one of the scarce full-time positions, must hold a master’s degree in their field – never mind the fact they may have only worked a year or two in that chosen field. Such is the university-envy of the current system, now light years away from what Davis had intended, that it has become a bloated, massively expensive concept to maintain because of the salaries promised to uber-educated, but, in too many cases, under-qualified-in-careerexperienced ‘profs.’ The solution, then, for the colleges? Hire hourly-paid part-timers with more experience in their fields, but do so in numbers that make them the norm in the classroom. Students, who are often lured with the impression of full-time, highly-qualified instructors, only arrive to find they have as a teacher someone who’s doing the gig part-time with a massive workload of prep and marking to make those teachers’ stipends almost a wash or even a loss as to what they can be earning back in their real, fulltime jobs. It is, then, the students who got hooped in the whole current labour strife. The government forced the strike to end, the union insisted this could have been wrapped up shortly after it began, had, of course, the government and the ministry caved on some union demands. No one ‘won’ this messy battle. “We would have liked this (the strike) to have been done five weeks ago,” said Eric Bauer, the president of OPSEU 420, which represents Loyalist. There are several reasons why faculty members went on strike, but the chief among them was the shift of the Employer Council in recent years to hire few full-time instructors, leaving programs to be taught mostly by part-time em-

ployees. There are also issues related to academic decision making. Bauer said the strike was difficult on an emotional level. He said many faculty members bumped into students out in the community over the past five weeks and those students asked about when the strike might end and why it was taking so long? Bauer said union members wanted to ensure that when it ended they would be able to tell students that the college system is better now. “People out here (were) freezing for a reason,” he said. “We don’t want to go in there and say, ‘We spent all this time here, and it added up to nothing.’” With all respect, Mr. Bauer, it did add up to nothing and the students suffered as a result. It was reported Monday that students who quit college because of the five-week strike can get full tuition refunds, while those who are staying can apply for up to $500 in financial aid, said Deb Matthews, Minister for Advanced Education. So, it appears everyone from the colleges themselves to the ministry are bowing and scraping to try and make things up to students. Word from the teachers? Not much, other than the previous comments chastising the other side for not budging in negotiations. Loyalist College issued a statement that outlined how the missed time will be made up. Fall semester classes will run until Friday, December 22 and resume on Tuesday, Jan. 2 and run up to and including January 19. The winter semester will start on Monday, January 29 and end on Friday, April 27. A study week is planned for March 12 to 16 (to be confirmed). Watch that last date. Would not be surprised to see that week sacrificed in the name of cramming in the school year. Students returned to class Tuesday and will see their semesters extended to Dec. 22, just three days before Christmas. As in the case of many, they may stick to their travel plans – many booked weeks and even months in advance of the strike – and possibly harm their course performance in so doing. No one – not one side, from teachers, their unions, the ministry or the provincial government – covered themselves in glory in this strike debacle. As always, it was the students who placed their trust and committed themselves to enrolling this fall who were burned. And we wonder why and how they become cynical and disillusioned?

Vape advocates organize protest in Cobourg BY DOMINIK WISNIEWSKI
Cobourg — Area vape stores owners and their supporters held a demonstration in Cobourg on Nov. 17 to voice their concerns about the impact new legislation will have on their industry. Standing with a sign that read "The constitution is on our side" outside of Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi’s Cobourg office on Nov. 17, Maria Papaioannoy-Duic said the protest was organized on behalf of Vapor Advocates of Ontario (VAO). The grassroots advocacy group, which was formed in 2015, is comprised of consumers and business owners who want the government to recognize the constitutional rights of citizens to use and sell vape
products in a safe and effective manner. “This is our third time protesting against the Ontario government, and each time we’re simply asking not to be treated the same as tobacco,” she told Northumberland News. Papaioannoy-Duic, a Cobourg resident and owner of the Ecig Flavourium vape store locations in Toronto and Port Hope, was joined by representatives of Stinky Canuck Trenton, and said both companies are staunch supporters of fair regulations to help the more than one million Ontario smokers on a path toward a smoke-free future. While they believe in Smoke-Free Ontario and support regulations aimed at facilitating smokers in reducing their risks,
she said that Bill 174 — and specifically Schedule 3 — if passed, “can destroy an industry that is comprised of more than 1,000 small business entrepreneurs and force tens of thousands of vapers to return to smoking.” “The ill-researched piece of legislation has unquestionably neglected the goal of Smoke-Free Ontario for the benefit of the tobacco industry,” she said. “Clearly now in Bill 174 — where you have cannabis, school bus safety and vaping — the importance of electronic cigarettes and the very fabric of helping achieve Smoke-Free Ontario’s goal is being ignored.” Protesters met with Rinaldi in Brighton that morning, discussing their concerns with him for 30-45 minutes, before being met by the MPP
again in Cobourg in front of his office. “One of the arguments is that they want exposure by being able to display the different types of vaping products,” he said, adding that the government is prepared to do that. “During my conversation with them this morning, they want no regulations whatsoever, and I am not sure that as a province we’re prepared to do that.” Rinaldi said he told the group that he doesn’t disagree with their arguments, but pointed out that the reality is that e-cigarettes are a new product on the market. “The government (has to) feel confident that it’s a safe product because part of the government's responsibility is protection and the safety of our people,” Rinaldi added. “My commitment is that I will
keep on working with them to bring their voices to Queen’s Park.” While he said that regulations are coming, Rinaldi also stressed the government is going to be making some “huge advances to their cause to help them out as well.” In the end, Papaioannoy-Duic said that marijuana, school bus safety and vaping should not be discussed as part of one conversation. “How do you properly debate those three issues at once?” she asked. “We’re simply asking Lou Rinaldi to go up to bat for us because he is our MPP.” She said Vapor Advocates of Ontario plans to hold a protest at Queen’s Park on Nov. 25.
Santa and his sidekicks spread holiday cheer downtown Brighton BY SARAH HYATT

brought to you by:
Brighton — Residents here got their first taste of Christmas magic on Friday, Nov. 17, as the big man in red and white lit up the streets of Brighton. And Santa wasn’t the only one eager to kick off the holiday season recently. Long-loved Christmas characters like the Grinch and Snoopy joined the jolly-old fellow as he paraded through town and some even did backflips. Of course, Santa’s elves and reindeer couldn’t miss the Christmas fun. But even pirates, camels and pets helped spread the holiday cheer. Cadets, musicians, firefighters and many more came too, each with their Christmas trinkets, toys and instruments wrapped in lights and seasonal decor. “I was really impressed with the parade and the effort people put into the floats,” said Terry Denyes, vicechairman for the Brighton community events committee and organizer of this year’s Santa Claus parade. “I mean, the motorcycle club with its Avro [plane] and the spinning cake — that was so good.” A few of this year’s floats, including one from the Brighton By the Bay community and the Bay of Quinte Harley Owners Group, which Denyes references above here, paid homage to Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation. Others, including the Brighton Girl Guides, the Brighton Lions Club, East Northumberland Secondary School and Dr. J. Gordon Hall Family Dentistry, to name a few, also had floats and brought things like gingerbread homes and Santa’s workshop to life last Friday. Float entries for this year’s parade must have well
exceeded 40, said Denyes. Hundreds of Brightonians also packed the streets to take in the old-time tradition. “It was a big turnout for people watching the parade and I thought half of Brighton was in the parade,” said Denyes. Crowds of spectators were exceptionally large along Dundas and Prince Edward, as well as Main and Elizabeth streets. A lot of people put a lot of effort into the parade and many volunteers dedicate their time to organize it and put it together, so it’s nice to see the community come out, said Denyes. Denyes was with members from the Brighton All Star Concert Band outside Sobeys when the paraded started. Musicians entertained a crowd there with Christmas carols leading up to the parade. He watched many of Brighton’s volunteer firefighters and fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson help set up the parade. “They do such a great job for us,” said Denyes. The Brighton fire department also played host to Santa after the parade, offering dozens of tots and kids the chance to meet the big man in red and white up close. Residents last Friday also marked the start of the holiday season with the town and Downtown Business Improvement Area’s (DBIA) annual Light Up Brighton ceremony. The Joyful Noise choir performed during the event and Brighton army cadets served up hot chocolate, while also taking donations for the food bank. The event asks residents to come together and celebrate the first time Brighton’s Christmas lights are turned on.

Letter to The Editor
Grabbing headlines takes precedence on council Dear Editor, Reading The Independent’s Nov. 16 article “Brighton looking closer at new wastewater plant” I was dismayed by some members of Council blatantly demonstrating a lack of respect for expert staff, including one member rejecting the CAO’s report. This lack of respect and arrogance in thinking they know better is how the proposal for a so called mechanical waste water treatment plant got onto Council’s agenda as a solution to current problems with Brighton’s lagoon system. By all means, look at this option over the longer term in conjunction with updating the Municipal Official Plan, but it’s not going to fix current problems in compliance with timelines required by the Ministry. If consideration of the mechanical plant had not taken precedence Brighton would now be that much further ahead fixing the problem. But these considerations do not satisfy the ego of certain councillors; they want to grab the headlines regardless of consequences. Shame on them. My dismay at the drama of the water treatment matter was compounded when I got to the letter to the editor “Councillor ramps up war of words on Walas” elsewhere in the Nov. 16 paper. One of the offending councillors regarding the water treatment matter was launching an unprecedented personal attack on the integrity of the mayor and, it seems, deliberately poisoning working relations for the remaining year of this Council’s term. At election time in 2018 voters will remember these incidents and decide which of the current members have demonstrated a capacity to work cooperatively with their fellow Council members and Municipal staff to achieve positive results for our community. Brighton needs a Council that works together harmoniously to produce positive results, not one that is constantly indulging in conflict and high drama. Dave Cutler, Brighton

Average Brighton customer will see increases in water, wastewater bills in 2018 BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — In the near future, Brighton will no longer have the cheapest water and wastewater rates around. The town could have the second cheapest rates for customers, though, pending no further action by council and the passing of the 2018 rates bylaw. It looks like the average residential water and wastewater customer will initially see about a $22 annual increase. A $76 annual increase will follow. Earlier this year, Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. completed an update to the municipality’s 2010 water and wastewater rate study, with results presented to council in June. Council chose to receive the report at that time, but also wanted population projections to be looked at further, as well as impacts of a new wastewater treatment plant. Consultants have now provided such information, and council has directed staff to prepare the water and wastewater fees and charges bylaw, based on the original calculations provided. In 2016, the annual water bill for the average customer totalled about $646. As described in the study, the typical or average residential customer consumes about 175 cubic metres per year.
The first round of increases in the monthly base charge and consumptive charge rates push the average annual bill to about $668. With this increase, Brighton will remain the lowest in terms of costs among neighbouring municipalities; consultants surveyed more than a dozen of through their study. (The comparison specifies customers with a 5/8-inch water meter consuming the 175 cubic metres annually). It’s the subsequent $74 increase, which will push bills to about $744 annually, that makes Brighton a bit above Napanee customers’ average costs. The study indicates Brightonians' costs will later decrease, evening off to an average level of about eight to nine per cent after 2018. Consultants say the rate calculations “are somewhat more conservative” and minimizes risk, should the municipality’s growth slow down. The proposed rates are based on a capital forecast that includes the $6 million worth of work on the town’s sewage lagoon system. Calculations were made assuming this work would be undertaken in 2018-19. In their latest update, consultants provided council with an option that looked at a new plant. As outlined above, coun-
cil has directed staff to prepare the bylaw based on consultants’ original calculations, but residents may still like to know what rates could look like one day, given a new build. Watson & Associates’ projected rates are based on capital costs for a new plant at $20-$25 million, excluding potential land acquisition expenses and operating costs estimated at $750,000 annually. Projected rates also assume the project would be constructed in 2018-19, operational in 2020, and that the project would be funded by debenture. Under this scenario, consultants report total cumulative debt would be $15 million higher. As a result, total annual debt payments by 2020 would be about $812,000 higher. The 2020 operating budget would increase by $797,000. With this information, consultants predict the total impact on the 2020 wastewater-operating budget would be an additional $1.6 million in expenditures. In comparison to original projections, consultants predict the average annual bill would increase about 48 per cent, if a new plant were operational by 2020. This would translate to roughly a $423 increase. By the end of the 2026 forecast period, the increase would be about $557.

This chart, as shown in a council agenda, compares cost-impacts for an average customer, with the addition of a new wastewater treatment plant. The cost comparison is based on draft projections completed by Watson & Associates. Due to “the conservative projections” by consultants, current calculations would “temper the rate impacts” associated with a new plant, if required. However, consultants have also suggested should council pursue a new plant, a rate review may be “prudent.”
Several members of council have strongly expressed that they believe costs for a new plant will not be as high as what consultants and staff have predicted. These councillors say they’ve done homework that suggests costs will be lower.

If you had mariners in your family, Heritage Cramahe wants to hear from you BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Colborne — If you have a sea captain, buccaneer, privateer, shipbuilder or sailor somewhere in your ancestry or your own past, Heritage Cramahe would like to hear from you. Lake Ontario was the first highway, so to speak, for what is now Cramahe Township, there being only a few hand-hewn trails through the forests for travel on land. “It was many years before land transportation became
common or efficient,” the volunteer-run organization said in a news release. “The coming of the railroad in 1856 changed everything again, but before that, the Great Lakes ruled.” Heritage Cramahe's next exhibit at the Colborne Art Gallery is Paddle, Sail and Steam, which will open in time for Heritage Week next February. “It will look at the golden age of sail, romanticized as it may be by the passage of time, but also at how lake shipping has
changed and evolved over the decades.” Barrie Wood is the point man for the creation of the exhibit. “I hope people aren’t getting tired of me asking for content for these exhibits,” he said, but Heritage Cramahe is once again calling on residents to help with its latest endeavour. “We need photos, sketches, letters, invoices, bills, written descriptions, anything tied to shipping on the Lakes. We also would like to feature life in
the lakeside villages, especially Lakeport, where the original Keeler wharf was located and a vibrant village sprang to life.” This will be the fifth exhibit mounted by Heritage Cramahe, which has received outstanding support from the community in the past. The show will be shaped by what people contribute. “We anticipate that there are many artifacts and stories out there, and we sincerely hope that people will contact us so

Concert band, Santa, ENSS students teaming up for Christmas show on Dec. 13 BY SARAH HYATT
Brighton — The Brighton All Star Concert Band is set to light up the town. The second annual Brighton up Your Holidays Christmas concert will return to East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS), on Wednesday, Dec. 13. “This is something we really hope will become an annual Christmas tradition for people,” said Terry Denyes, director of music for the show and for the band. “It’s not a long-winded thing, this is a good, fast-moving concert.”
The Christmas show will feature a 40-piece concert band, as well as special vocal solos. Both music teacher Lynda Tonkin and ENSS Razz Ma Jazz students will perform. Denyes describes the show as an “old school-style Christmas concert,” with something for all the ages. A number of classics and old-time favourites, including a Christmas Star piece, like that seen in the Home Alone 2 movie and Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You, will be per-
formed. It will be a nice mixture of Christmas classics and fun, and this can be a great outing for families during the holiday season, said Denyes. In other words, bring the kids, as arrangements have also been made for the big man in red and white to attend the show. “Santa will be there the whole time, kids can get their pictures taken with Santa and he will also be taking letters from the kids,” said Denyes. Santa “just loves to have his
picture taken,” so there will be no cost to families, added Denyes. What’s more, the man in red and white has a new present he will be sharing during the event. He’s got a new, but old-fashioned horse-drawn sleigh he’s bringing, which will make for even cuter photos for kids and families, noted Denyes. The concert will also be free, but a monetary donation for the music programs and food donations for the Brighton Fare Share Food Bank would be appreciated. The show is scheduled to start
at 7 p.m. at ENSS and will run until about 9 p.m. “We try and keep it just under two hours, we plan for about an hour-and-a-half worth of music and then there’s a break included in the show,” said Denyes. Last year’s concert drew in a couple hundred residents and Denyes is hoping numbers will double this year. He’d like to see some 400 attendees this December. “All are welcome,” he said. “Last year’s concert was amazing and this year is looking to be even better.”

ENSS students given new insights about ‘traitor ‘ who was a hero to Manitoba Metis BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton — This controversial historical figure, called “a key contributor to Canadian Confederation” by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, was hung for treason in 1885: Can you name him? The answer: Louis Riel. The “fearless Métis leader” who founded Manitoba "was a courageous and impassioned defender of minority rights” who fought for “a more diverse and more inclusive country,” Trudeau said in a statement released on Nov. 16, Louis Riel Day. On the same day that Riel was executed in Regina 132 years ago, several classes of students at East Northumberland Secondary School learned more about him in three presentations delivered by Robert Winslow, the founder of 4th Line Theatre near Millbrook who has written or co-written more than a dozen plays based on local history and culture. One of his plays was about a bell that had been taken from a Métis community by Canadian soldiers who defeated Riel's forces in the Northwest Rebellion. The three soldiers were from Millbrook, where Winslow was raised, and their captain was an ancestor of his who had not been aware of what they had done. Taking part in one of the presentations was Guy Mandeville, a Métis elder from Trenton, who
S
visits ENSS each week to talk about Indigenous culture and history. His ancestors also fought in the Rebellion — for the other side. Winslow said he was raised to believe Riel “was trying to break up the country” and that federal troops had been sent to Manitoba “to stop this crazy man.” Mandeville said the Métis, supported by First Nations allies, simply “wanted to protect what they had already (and) preserve their way of life.” Riel was chosen to head the provisional government that was formed to negotiate conditions for Manitoba to be included in the Dominion of Canada. But the Canadian government, led by Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, tried to expel the Métis from their land to gain control of it and push the national railway, then under construction, through to British Columbia. Several battles were fought and the federal forces, with superior numbers and firepower, overwhelmed the rebels and Riel was sentenced to death following a lengthy trial. “The only reason they did that politically was to get rid of the problem” Mandeville said. Winslow was sympathetic to the Métis being defiant to “a massive power” that wanted to “take everything” from them. “The Métis were a proud people, they didn't want to just roll over,” he said. Riel was “a hero (and) a

Father of Confederation” who was willing to lead his people in a cause to win them respect. That didn't happen. When Mandeville was growing up nobody in his family would admit to being Métis because of the “stigma” that followed the events of 1885. His people were neither First Nation or European, “you were in-between,” he said. “For a while there they called us the Forgotten People.” Mandeville, who proudly served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 42 years, said many people today have the “misconception” that Métis receive the same benefits that First Nations people do. “We get zero money” from the federal government, he said. Winslow said he was taught that settlers in Ontario, who had forced the Métis to move west to make a new home, had “made something out of nothing ... We didn't have to feel bad guilt or any worries because we didn't get rid of anybody else to make our life here. “Now that's all being rewritten and re-looked at,” he said. “Our whole sense of being Canadian has been completely changed.” Mandeville told the students to study history and to learn from it, to avoid making the same mistakes of the past. “Be proud of your own culture ... but don't be afraid to explore other cultures,” he said. Winslow said afterwards there's “a great need” for students to be educated about this country's past

“if we're all going to live together.” Indigenous issues have gained prominence and efforts are being made at “ironing things out,” he said, but “there's an awful lot of healing that has to go on ... I
don't get a feeling we're a truly integrated society yet.” And delving into history, he added, can be like “an old bomb that will explode in your face when you learn too much.”

Brighton will be asked to Annual Christmas program for military families in declare its residents have crisis launches right to healthy environment BY MAKALA CHAPMAN
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Brighton – The Northumberland chapter of the Blue Dot Movement will ask Brighton council to declare all its citizens have the right to live in a healthy environment, and that it will use the declaration as “a guiding principle” at all times when making decisions. Cobourg has already done so and Port Hope is expected to follow suit in December, a member of the local chapter, Faye McFarlane, told students at East Northumberland Secondary School in a presentation she made on Nov. 17. Councils in Northumberland County’s four other municipalities will be asked to make the same declaration as well. The Blue Dot Movement is a citizen-action initiative of the David Suzuki Foundation that seeks to have all levels of government recognize the right of Canadians to clean air and water, and safe food. Canadians currently don’t have that right to a healthy environment and the Blue Dot Movement is working to change that by advocating for a federal Environmental Bill of Rights. More than 110,000 Canadians have signed a pledge in support of that effort, including 44 in Brighton, but that number grew last week when ENSS students added their names at the request of McFarlane. They also signed a post card urging the federal government to include the right to a healthy environment in the Canadian Envi-

ronmental Protection Act. The minister of environment and climate change has already received 15,000 of the cards, 300 of them from Northumberland County, McFarlane said. “We’re going to keep going on that.” The retired lawyer asked the students to join her when Blue Dot Northumberland appears as a delegation at council next month with its request for a declaration. “We want to do something that’s really going to make a difference, and that’s why I’m here today,” she said. “I want as many of you there as can possibly come.” One issue of concern McFarlane raised is the taking of water from underground to sell commercially. The companies pay “next to nothing” to remove “million and millions and millions of litres of water,” she said. Once gone, “it will never return,” and over time the reservoirs of water will be depleted. The situation is “very, very dire,” McFarlane said. Ontario has an Environmental Bill of Rights which the government is currently reviewing. It’s old and needs to be updated to make it “more forceful,” she said. A federal Environmental Bill of Rights “is the really important piece” because it will provide protections that can’t be “gutted” when governments change, as has happened with laws that were meant to safeguard the environment, McFarlane said. An alternative is to enshrine the right to live in a healthy environment in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. ENSS was one of 25 schools across Canada that was chosen to take part in town hall webinar with Suzuki on Nov. 21.

There’s no reason a military family should go without during the Christmas holidays says retired Warrant Officer Sandy Driscoll. As the co-ordinator of the Angela Hayden Adopt a Family Christmas Program (AHAFCP), she said the team is once again gearing up to lend a helping hand to 8 Wing families in need, both military and civilian. The not-for-profit program has been in place for more than two decades and has since helped bring relief to hundreds of families and their children. “We know that there are people who are hurting, and it’s not just financial hardship,” said Driscoll, adding that the program helps around 20 military families a year. “It’s based on a one-time event so that we’re not just helping the same people over and over.” She went on to recall a year when the group had helped a family who were unable to go Christmas shopping due to a severely ill child in hospital. In order to help alleviate some of the stresses put on the family, Driscoll said she and her team called upon the various squadrons, units and other military partners on the base to “adopt” the family. From there, each child in the family (13 years and younger) was gifted presents donated by their generous sponsors. She added that the family’s personal information had not been shared with the donors in
order to help keep an element of privacy and anonymity — a practice that she said has always been standard protocol. At most, the donors will be told the gender, age and some interests of the children to help make shopping for their gifts more personalized. “It’s strictly voluntary and we don’t push anything on anybody. The individuals that come forward have to do so willingly," she explained, reiterating the importance of anonymity. “We don’t want our families that we are supporting to be known by anybody else.” Driscoll noted that anybody with individuals in mind should refer them through their change of command on the base, a chaplain, social worker or a financial representative. Having seen the good the program has done for countless military families, Driscoll said the program has become very close to her heart over the years. “I can’t stress enough that it’s not just financial problems as there could be emotional problems, a marital breakdown or whatever,” she said. “There’s some horrible situations that come up sometimes.” As for the community’s involvement, Driscoll added she would be remiss not to mention all the support from St. Paul Catholic Secondary School in Trenton. Each year, the students help collect Christmas food hampers stocked with non-perishables, something Driscoll said is just
an added bonus for the families. Also helping organize the Christmas program this year is Master Corporal Kathleen O’Connor from the Transport and Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (TEME) unit at 8 Wing Trenton. Although new to her role on the AHAFCP committee, O’Connor and her unit have been active participants in the annual Christmas program each year. “The first year I participated in the program we (sponsored) one child and she was spoiled rotten,” she laughed. Since then O’Connor said TEME has been working hard to raise funds to ensure other children in need have an equally special Christmas each year. Setting this year’s fundraising goal at $1,500, she noted that her unit is well above the $1,600 mark thanks to events like bake sales and her annual yard sale. “It makes you want to cry because you’re helping a family check one little thing off of their list of things they were worried about,” she said. “I’ve received cards from families that I’ve sponsored and they were just so thankful.” But in order for the Christmas program to work, O’Connor said it is important for the military community to not pass judgment on those receiving help. “Heaven forbid something happens in your family that prevents you from giving your kids a Christmas,” she said. “We’re all so blessed so we need to share that.” For units or squadrons interested in adopting a family, they are asked to contact Driscoll. Those looking to recommend a family to receive support must reach out to Driscoll and her team by Nov. 15. For more information, contact Sandy Driscoll at Sandyd2010@ live.ca or 613-2430646.

Gladden a senior's Christmas Building in Brighton should cost more, say staff in Trent Hills — adopt a grandparent BY SARAH HYATT
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Trent Hills — Seniors living alone in the area who haven't any family or none living close by could use some good cheer this Christmas. For them it's not the most wonderful time of the year as it is for others. Community Care Northumberland hopes to change all that with a pilot program, Adopt a Grandparent, that will bring some joy into their lives with the help of the public. It's asking members of the community to donate Christmas cheer packages to clients who feel isolated. Fill the packages with whatever you wish, staff will deliver the packages just before Christmas, said Natisha Taylor, Community Care's program co-ordinator in Trent Hills. The agency will provide basic information about clients — age, sex, hobbies and interests, but not their names — to help donors decide what to provide. It's hoping to arrange at least 20 matches this Christmas. It's a special opportunity for children who might not have a grandparent or one nearby to give articles they have purchased, made or possess that are still in good condition. “We truly believe this will not only bring a smile to many Community Care clients this Christmas but also the potential to give the donating family a sense of giving — making everyone involved feel special,” Taylor said. The inspiration for the program was one client in particular who “waited until crisis mode to engage in our services.” Taylor visited her and while they were chatting, the woman, who lives alone and is isolated, “mentioned holidays are hard.” It so happened that Taylor subsequently spoke to another person in the health-care field who said “it's unfortunate” her children don't have grandparents. “That's when I got thinking, 'Wow, this would be a really good way to make matches

I can’t believe that even $3,000 bucks would cover the costs,” said Coun. John Martinello. “However we compare with Quinte West, I still say it’s pretty cheap for what these people are getting.” Among some of the other significant changes under planning is the $10,000 trust deposit, following an application for a draft plan of a subdivision or condominium. The 2017-fee is a $2,500 refundable deposit. While McMurray’s worried builders may be “up in arms” come Monday, Dec. 4, when council is set to receive public input on the proposed fees and charges, chief administrative officer Bill Watson claims this has been a long time coming. “We’re way behind our neighbours, so we are by far the low-cost provider of building permits and building fees,” said Watson. “This is a result of deferring these decisions over and over and over again, and we’ve fallen way, way, way behind.” Some changes have also been proposed for the building department’s fees and charges. Costs per square foot for renovations or for new commercial building permits will increase. Specific costs for new industrial and institutional building permits have been added, as well as for renovation permits. A new $123-charge is suggested should revisions to plans after a residential permit is issued be required. A new alternative solution fee at about $515, plus the third-party review cost is also being proposed, alongside increases for things like demolition permits. The proposed changes will not make Brighton the most expensive place to
build homes in this area, but will instead allow the town to play a bit of catch up, said Watson. As for other areas, the administration and finance departments haven’t made any changes to existing fees, but have suggested the addition of filing fees for investigations for closed sessions and for an integrity commissioner investigation. Minimal changes or mostly minor increases have been recommended under the public works and bylaw departments and in other areas, such as community centre rentals. The fire department hasn’t proposed changes to costs for vehicle fires or to respond to an accident, but has changed its wording to reflect increases the Ministry of Transportation may implement, as well as suggested minimal increases for things like work-orders. Fire inspection fees will remain status quo. Under parks and recreation, minor sports, prime rates and men’s leagues fees will increase by a few dollars. Director Jim Millar said this would be the first increase in five years and his recommendation has been made following a review of rates in other municipalities. The largest increases in this area will be to advertising fees. Council has approved staff recommendations for now, but will hear from residents on Monday, Dec. 4, prior to approval of a bylaw. (A complete rundown of fees and charges is available via the Nov. 13 agenda.) Deputy Mayor Laura Vink and Coun. Mary Tadman both made efforts to assure residents recently, saying if residents have concerns those will be considered at the public meeting and before the bylaw passes.

Safe Communities promotes Northumberland Peterborough ‘community heroes’ recognized ways to reduce injuries by with Canada 150 Awards falls among seniors BY KAREN LONGWELL
BY JOHN CAMPBELL
Northumberland County — Falls are the leading cause of preventable injury for seniors in Ontario. Each year, they're responsible for more than 100,000 emergency department visits to hospital, more than 20,000 admissions and, sadly, more than 2,000 deaths. Safe Communities Northumberland County is highlighting the importance of helping adults 65 and older stay on their feet during Fall Prevention Month, partnering with pharmacies throughout November to promote fall prevention and provide education. To help get the message across, large fridge magnets are being handed out that have five tips seniors can use to prevent a fall: keep fit; use an assistive device as recommended; look for factors in and around the home that can cause falls, such as slip rugs and clutter; let others who provide support know if they have had a fall, near-fall or experienced unsteadiness; and schedule a yearly health checkup. “Falling can lead to depression, mobility problems and loss of independence,” says Joanne Brewster, a member of the Safe Communities Northumberland initiative and a health promoter with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. “With one in three seniors suffering a fall every year, it’s important to help prevent falls and promote healthy, active aging.” The most common types of falls are slips and trips, falls on stairs and falls from furniture, Safe Communities said in a news release. “Even if a fall doesn’t injure a person, it can result in lack of confidence and decreased physical activity that could lead to another fall in the future,” added Heather Grundy, who is also a Safe Communities
member and a health promoter with the health unit. “All of us are affected by falls, so it’s important for the entire community to play a role in addressing the problem.” The onset of winter increases the risk of falls with ice and snow creating outdoor hazards, Brewster said in an interview, so it's important that spaces are lit and cleared of snow, and that seniors wear the proper footwear. “Slips and trips for sure present more of a problem in poor weather,” she said. Medications can also play a role in causing dizziness, especially when mixed. Safe Communities highlighted resources for seniors and their care providers that can help prevent falls. One is a six-minute video for older adults, Falls Can Be Prevented, that offers tips from local health care providers on ways to prevent a fall. Other resources include an information sheet, a brochure and a listing of falls prevention programs in Northumberland (one's at Campbellford Memorial Hospital), all available at www.northumberland.safecommunities. parachutecanada.org, or by calling the health unit at 1-866-888-4577. Care providers who work with older adults in their home can access a free online course called Positive Steps Work that was developed by the Durham Region health department. The course is an interactive fall prevention course that helps participants understand how a fall affects seniors, the risks associated with falls and the resources available to help seniors prevent falls. To access, visit www.hkpr. on.ca, and look under the "Lifestyles/Positive Steps Work" section.

Trenton — The Quinte West city council chamber was filled with more than 50 people during Our TMH’s second annual general meeting on Wednesday Nov. 15. Our TMH, Trenton Memorial Hospital’s (TMH) advocacy committee, addressed the room on the membership drive, dialysis centre, veterans centre of excellence and physician recruitment. Betty Clost, Our TMH co-chair, addressed the dialysis centre that the committee is pursuing to have located in TMH, with the help of Dr. David Wein, a nephrologist in Belleville. Weinstein announced the proposed plans for a Trenton Comprehensive Kidney Disease Centre at TMH in March and said a proposal was before the Ontario Renal Network (ORN). Clost said the process is now at a standstill as they are currently waiting for the ORN to release its dialysis capacity assessment, looking at dialysis numbers and the projected need over the next 10 years, from 2017 to 2027. Our TMH will continue to pursue the centre. Many patients are faced with travelling to Kingston to receive care if they are not well enough to receive dialysis in satellite locations. Within the South East Local Health Integration Network, dialysis is done in Brockville, Smiths Falls, Kingston, Napanee, Belleville, Bancroft and Picton, she said. Updating the room on the proposed veterans’ centre excellence was committee member Tom Kupecz, In a brief update, Kupecz said a submission to have a centre of excellence located at TMH is still being considered in Ottawa. “We are told it’s high on the list,” he said, adding that they’ve had great support from MPP Lou Rinaldi and MP Neil Ellis. Ellis had recently written to them to say that the submission is being well regarded but the decision is being made by the department of veterans affairs. During the last federal election campaign the Liberal government announced funding for two centres of excellence for veterans, to provide specific and improved care for veterans. Sharon Urquhart, Our TMH’s chair of the special events and membership committee, was recognized with a standing ovation for dedication to the membership drive. Our TMH currently has 19,774 members, close to the 20,000 goal. Co-chair John Smylie addressed the committee’s efforts with physician recruitment. After recently forming the physician recruitment and retention committee, the City of Quinte West and the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF) have each contributed $50,000 to fund the new recruitment and retention program. The committee is looking to hire a physician recruitment and retention co-ordinator for a full-time, six-month temporary position with the opportunity for renewal, to help bring doctors to town. The Community Health Hub was also touched on. Paul Huras, CEO of the South East Local Health Integration Network, is in the process of deciding between a location on Catherine Street or Murphy Street for the location of the hub.

The Belleville Senators era begins
A
fter seven home games in a span of fifteen days, the Belleville Senators have officially announced themselves to the Bay of Quinte region. “The response from our community has been spectacular,” said Rob Mullowney, Chief Operating Officer of the Belleville Senators. “We have one of the strongest season ticket bases in the entire league and sold our
opening game out weeks before the start of the season. This community was hungry for the return of hockey and have embraced our team from the start. We are very thankful for that.” This marks a new era in what is a longstanding history of hockey in the area and fans are flocking to the team to show their support. “Our merchandise is roaring – it seems like no matter where you go in the
area someone is wearing a Belleville Senators hat, t-shirt or sweater,” said Mullowney. “We have had more than 2,500,000 impressions on social media and over 200,000
webpage views in the past 30 days. This support is crucial to our success and we will work very hard to provide fans with a product that continues to compel them.” “Beyond that, we will find ways to say thank you as often as possible.” On November 10th, the team announced the start of 50/50 Raffle Draws at home games in cooperation with the Ottawa Senators
Foundation. In their first three games, $13,147 was raised for the community. “When we arrived in the region, we promised that we would make an impact off the ice as well. Our 50/50 Raffle with the Ottawa Senators Foundation is an excellent example of this. We are very excited to start making good on our promise.” This weekend, the team will also offer fans the opportunity to take $3 off of single game ticket prices for all home games in the month of December. “We could not have done any of this without our fans. Consider this a thank you from our team to them.” For more information on the Belleville Senators, including details around this offer, visit www. BellevilleSens.com or contact the team’s Box Office at 613-970-7600. For all the latest news on the team, follow @BellevilleSens on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Colborne — The Northumberland Stars avenged a 6-3 loss at the hands of the Toronto Predators a week earlier with a 7-5 win at home at the Keeler Centre on Nov. 18. Evan Wasylyk was the game's first star with two goals and two assists. Tyler Brackin was star No. 2, with a pair of goals and one assist. Tim Lavigne made it a clean sweep, collecting a goal and two assists. Adrian Frias and Austin Trotter had the Stars' other goals. Aaron Esposito made 35 saves for his fourth win of the season.

Hawks bounce back from loss with win in Milton BY ERIN STEWART
Milton – The Trenton Golden Hawks hit the road over the weekend, facing the Pickering Panthers on Friday and Milton Icehawks on Sunday. The hawks faced a tough 5-1 loss against Pickering, with undisciplined play and untimely penalties contributing to their loss. With no goals in the first, Trenton’s Ryan Brown put the Hawks on the scoreboard with seven minutes to go in the second. Jonathan Pace and Matt Nastasiuk made the assists. Penalty trouble started after the goal when Shawn Guison took a double minor infraction for spearing, costing the Hawks two penalty kill goals within 30 seconds by the Panthers’ Josh Argier and Andrew Hughes. Captain Mac Lewis then contributed to the penalty trouble when he was given a five minute major for a hit from behind and Guison was handed a misconduct with “inciting the opponent” late in the period. Down 2-1 heading into the third, Trenton’s Rex Moe was handed a double minor and Argier scored again on the power play. The Hawks only took one more penalty in the third but the Panthers improved on their lead with two more goals, ending with a final 5-1 victory and Pickering’s second win in three games against Trenton. The Hawks bounced back Sunday afternoon when they traveled to face the Milton Icehawks. Caleb Boman put the Hawks on the scoreboard first with a power play goal at 6:33.

game in the second period but the Hawks took the lead again soon after with a goal from Steven Elliott, assisted by Shaun Bily. Tiger McDonald scored the Hawks’ insurance goal short handed in the third period in the more disciplined game, assisted by assistant captain Michael Silveri. The final was 3-1 for the Hawks whosit at 12-13-1-0. This Friday they will host the Wellington Dukes with an 8 p.m. start.

Health hub remediation to cost under $5,000 says QW mayor BY ERIN STEWART
Trenton — The cost to remediate the Trenton Catherine Street site for a Community Health Hub would cost far less than the initially released estimate of $760,000, insists Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison. “The amount of money that it would cost to clean up the site on the south end where the hub goes is far less than $5,000,” said Harrison, during the Our TMH annual general meeting at Quinte West City Hall Nov. 15. After having the consultants redo their assessment of the report done on the Catherine Street site, located next to Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH), Harrison said the city received the new remediation figures and information on Wednesday. Harrison told the crowd about his “excellent” meeting last week with Paul Huras, CEO of the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN), consultants who wrote the final report, members of Quinte Health Care (QHC), a lawyer representing QHC’s interest and representatives from the Brighton and Quinte Community Health Centre (CHC). The meeting was scheduled after Huras announced the controversial decision by the SE LHIN’s board to change the preferred site of the Community Health Hub and CHC to Murphy Street in downtown Trenton on the CHC’s current property instead of the initial site on Catherine Street due to contaminants with a price tag of $760,000 for remediation. The situation is complicated yet simple, said Harrison. The original report was based on a large piece of property on Catherine Street, including the north end of the property where a possible future expansion to the hospital was examined and the south end where the hub would go. “There was a high level of pH at the very north end of the site, that triggered what is called the table 1 criteria from the ministry that needs to be followed, which is very, very stringent, the most stringent that you can get,” said Quinte West chief administrative officer Charlie Murphy in an interview on Nov. 16. The stringent environmental testing is where all of the original information and figures stemmed from, evaluating the property as a whole and not two separate sites for separate projects. “What should have happened is they should have looked at those two sites differently,” said Murphy. Looking at the health hub site specifically, the south end of the Catherine Street property, the severed piece of land was reassessed by the consultants under a more common and less stringent level three criteria. “When you do that and you start assessing the risks, the risks are very, very small and limited,” said Murphy, noting that the costs to remediate the hub site on the south end of the property is actually less than $3,000. “Using the word contaminated is a red herring, it’s not much different than any other site, even the consul-
tants said it’s difficult describing because now it’s out there that it’s contaminated, but it’s really not contaminated, there’s one small area of the site that has minimal exceedance of one of the criteria and all we need to do is dig that soil out,” said Murphy, adding that the soil could be accommodated in the Frankford landfill. “The consultants at the meeting said that if a child were to eat some of the soil, for 365 days, several times a day, they might get sick,” said Harrison during the Our TMH annual general meeting, to reiterate how low the level of contamination is. Huras was not wrong, noted Murphy, who said Huras was making a decision based on the $760,000 figure and information the consultants initially released to him. “He was given that number but unfortunately that shouldn’t have been done until we had an opportunity to vet out the environmental assessment report,” said Murphy. “It was premature to do that number and that’s the issue we’ve had, as soon as we got copies of the report I said, ‘hold on here, there’s something wrong.’” Murphy said the environmental assessment process is very complex and highly technical. “The consultants did what they were asked to do, it would have been better if they had been given more specific instructions in terms of looking at the two sites separately, then we probably wouldn’t have gotten into this situation,” he said. From the city’s perspective, Murphy said it’s important they ensure a decision that is this important to the community is based on the right information. The new figures were sent off to Huras Thursday morning, Murphy said. After last week’s meeting, Huras has not come to a final decision on a site. On Nov. 17, Caitlin den Boer, director of communications and engagement at the SE LHIN, said a decision will likely be made next week after Huras speaks with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The idea of the hub is to locate primary health care services and community care services in one location to better integrate and co-ordinate health care services in the Brighton and Quinte West communities. Building a new facility would allow CHC to proceed with its approved building project and be the anchor for the hub, under one roof. Since CHC’s building project had already been approved, the project has been delayed in order to align

Hells Angel Leclair sold coke, gun on his own, lawyer insists BY CHRIS MALETTE
He may have been a Hells Angel, but Yvan Leclair was on his own when selling cocaine and guns to undercover cops, insisted the Shannonville man’s lawyer when he made a plea deal to drug and gun charges. Leclair, 49, recently pleaded guilty in Belleville court to selling an ounce of cocaine to one undercover officer and a modified semi-automatic rifle to another agent between September, 2016, and January, 2017. He was given two years in prison on top of pre-trial custody served since being jailed in February. He was among those rounded up in a sweeping bust to control drugs and weapons being smuggled and sold along the Highway 401 corridor and US border region in February, dubbed Operation Silkstone. Leclair, who lived on land he owned along Lazier Road in Shannonville (his Leclair Logging is highly visible from Highway 401 near Shannonville Road) agreed to forfeit land, “the firearm seized, ammunition, drugs (cocaine) drug paraphernalia and several pieces of clothing,” said Crown attorney Pardeep Bhachu. The weapon in question was a Russian-made SKS semiautomatic on which police charged Leclair had included a modified, illegal magazine capable of holding several

rounds more than the original factory version. Some versions of modified clips for the SKS are capable of firing 20 to 30 rounds in rapid succession. Leclair, who had only previously been released from pris-
on on previous drug charges prior to being arrested in the Silkstone raids, was described by police in February as a fullpatch member of Hells Angels, However, Leclair’s defence lawyer, Ed Kafka, insisted on having it made clear in court
record on Leclair’s plea and conviction that “none of the activities were at the direction of the Hells Angels,” said Bhachu. He had been originally charged with a slew of crimes, but most were withdrawn, said
the Crown, for being duplications of original offences. He was also convicted for having breached a lifetime weapons ban imposed on his previous criminal convictions. Leclair’s plea and conviction was the fourth of six local individuals charged in Silkstone, which included 18 individuals across Ontario, into Quebec and even Connecticut. Project Silkstone — which spanned 18 months of undercover and intelligence investigation - involved OPP, the RCMP, Quebec provincial police, Montreal police, the Canada Border Services Agency and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. Hundreds of officers participated in the investigation, which culminated in 22 simultaneous raids across the province and parts of Quebec, police said. Over the course of the probe, OPP said in statements at the time that investigators seized 11,500 pills containing fentanyl, eight kilograms of cocaine and 7.5 kilograms of ecstasy, among other drugs and drug equipment. Police also seized 23 firearms, including pistols and long guns, as well as Canadian and U.S. currency and $50,000 worth of casino chips as part of the investigation. The remainder of those charged are still working their way through the courts – all of which cases are being heard in Belleville courts.

Air Force Museum concert was a stirring success BY JACK EVANS
Quinte West - With 500 chairs set up, the Quinte Symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third annual Tribute to the Brave Concert Sunday in the National Air Force Museum of Canada drew a capacity crowd. From the opening â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Canada,â&#x20AC;? performed powerfully by the recently formed Trenton area Military Wives Choir, to the closing finale of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amazing Graceâ&#x20AC;? with all participants involved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the orchestra, 8 Wing Concert Band, 8 Wing Pipes and Drums and the choir, the audience was held almost spellbound. One of the highlights by the orchestra was the popular Sibelius â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finlandia,â&#x20AC;? a patrioticâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;inspired work by the Finnish composer. The symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recently acquired new tympani thundered out in a polished performance. Inspiring also was the stirring Triumphant March from the opera â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aidaâ&#x20AC;? by Verdi, after which the concert band joined the orchestra for a spirited performance of the popular march, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colonel Bogey.â&#x20AC;? Then the concert band went on its own for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the Rainbowâ&#x20AC;? with songstress Anita Halfpenny, and a big band medley called â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a Miller Mood.â&#x20AC;? This included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moonlight

Serenade,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Got a Gal in Kalamazoo,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Brown Jug,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Last,â&#x20AC;? all audience pleasers. The orchestrally colourful and perennially popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;English Folk Song Suite,â&#x20AC;?
with the band and orchestra joining forces, also made a stirring impression on the huge audience, before a brief salute to the Remembrance season with playing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Post,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reveille,â&#x20AC;? and a lament,
which brought intermission. The second half opened with the pipe band showing its stuff in a set that included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Journey to Skye,â&#x20AC;?and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farewell to Nigg,â&#x20AC;? followed by a selection of First World War hits like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep the Home Fires Burningâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long Way to Tipperary,â&#x20AC;? marching off to â&#x20AC;&#x153; When the Battleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Over.â&#x20AC;? A contemporary work by Kingstonbased composer John W. N. Palmer,â&#x20AC;? was another chance for the symphony to show off. Called â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Celtic Fantasy,â&#x20AC;? in three movements, it showed that Canadian composers can be competitively creative and still please audiences. This annual concert would not be complete in its air base surroundings without the beloved RCAF March, performed in style by the orchestra and 8 Wing Concert Band combined. Quinte Symphony conductor Dan Tremblay and 8 Wing Band master WO Martin Labbe shared conducting duties during the concert. The symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next concert is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas Traditions Old and Newâ&#x20AC;?on Sunday, Dec. 10 at 2:30 p.m. in Centennial Secondary School.

Walking in the footsteps of pilgrims in Portugal on one of the major routes to Santiago While on my recent river cruise on de Compostela. It was a short walk from the bottom Portugal’s Douro River (the River of Gold), I took a land excursion to the of this staircase to the town’s central sacred pilgrimage town of Lamego, and square, where I found several old statwhile here I visited Our Lady of Rem- ues and the 18th century Episcopal Paledies (Nossa Senhora dos Remedios), ace (now the home of the town’s very worthwhile museum). There were many its impressive pilgrimage site. The hilltop chapel was built in 1791, other historic buildings located in this and many devout worshippers still arrive area, too, so it gave the town a kind of here to pray at this shrine, particularly ‘mediaeval feel’.

When it comes to getting the outside ready for winter, here is my personal list of things I make sure that I get done at this time of the year 1. Wrap those evND ergreens! I received so many emails from fans and readers last spring about their cedars and boxwoods having brown sections. There are several things that cause this, but there is one solution that deals with a lot of the issues. Get out the burlap or anti-des-

iccant spray and cover your evergreens. Plants like boxwoods, yews and cedars stay green all year (hence the name ‘evergreens’). These plants retain their chlorophyll in their leaves and needles. It’s this chlorophyll that works in producing energy and food for the plant. This process of photosynthesis also requires light and water. When we get bright sunny days in the winter and early spring, the plants start to make energy. Unfortunately, the ground is still frozen, preventing the roots from getting any water to the plant. This is what causes the brown sections…they are simply drying out. The burlap wrap slows down this process, allowing the tree to naturally keep up with the water supply 2. Prune woody shrubs and trees now. Pruning at this time of the year, once the leaves have fallen, has been shown to be less stressful on the plant. The changing of leaf-colour signifies the movement of sap from the branches of the plant into the roots. The sap is what feeds the tree and helps promote growth. When the plants are dormant, they store all of their sap reserves in their roots. Come spring, these extra reserves promote lots of healthy new growth and significantly more blooms! 3. Empty out all of your outdoor planters. I had more split pots last winter then I’ve ever had before. A cold winter is hard on your planters; whether they are clay, plastic or even wood. The soil inside the pots is the problem. This soil retains moisture. As it freezes and thaws, this soil expands and contracts splitting even the strongest containers. Instead of soil, fill your planters with mulch so that you can still create beautiful holiday arrangements at the front door. Then you can put the mulch in the garden come thaw. 4. Clean out the garage! Now this doesn’t feel like it would be a gardening job, but cleaning out the garage at this time of year is definitely a priority in my house. Not just because I want to fit my car back into it, clearing the garage when the weather is warm enough to have the door open makes life so much easier for the gardeners like me who save pots, hoses, tools and all kinds of awkward items in the garage for when I might need to use them. Start by getting everything off the ground! Being able to see the entire floor makes a room more spacious. Utilize racks and wall mounting systems to get awkward items like wheelbarrows, garden rakes and shovels up and out of the way. These few jobs that you can actually get done this week will help you get on track for the spring ahead even if it seems so far away at this point!
Westben celebrates 'Upper Canada Christmas' pioneer-style BY SUE DICKENS
Campbellford — A new Westben production that takes listeners into the lives of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill will be providing a snap shot of these two British, pioneer Canadian sisters’ lives as they settle in the wilds of Upper Canada near Lakefield in the 1830s. Westben’s Upper Canada Christmas will be performed on Nov. 25 and 26 at the Barn, Dec. 2 at Norwood United Church and Dec. 3 at Northminster Church in Peterborough. “Susanna and Catharine, already celebrated authors in England, left us works that give honest perspectives of what life must have been like in this area in the early to mid 1800s,” states Westben’s marketing director, Donna Bennett. “Upper Canada Christmas is a heartwarming narrated concert celebrating a Canadian Christmas pioneer-style, fit for the whole family featuring the
80 voices of the Westben choirs,” she added. Although Catharine Parr Traill and Susanna Moodie shared many of the same experiences, their writings are incredibly different, Bennett noted. “Catharine’s writing is more lyrical in perspective and Susanna’s aiming for a more realistic, unromanticized expression of their experiences.” “Their lives were difficult, courageous and fascinating.” Westben's artistic director, Brian Finley, said he “loves the fact that these stories of Susanna Moodie and Catharine Parr Traill happened within kilometres of where we are living now and it is so interesting to think about the contrast where we are now where they were then, their struggle of coming to a new place and keeping alive their traditions." The Westben Festival Chorus gathered for a rehearsal for Upper Canada Christmas . Tickets and information available at www.westPhoto submitted ben.ca .

Buy a scarf and wrap yourself in courage Belleville – A purple scarf purchased from a Three Oaks fundraiser this month won’t just keep you warm. It will allow you to wrap yourself in courage – and help raise awareness for domestic violence. Since 1983 Three Oaks has been providing safe, emergency shelter to Quinte-area women and their children who are fleeing violence. It is every woman’s fundamental right to live in safety and security in her home and community—free from the threat to violence. Three Oaks provided bed space within the emergency shelter to 156 women and 64 children in the last fiscal year. This past year the various programs that consist of the outreach service program have been busy offering services to over 351 women and 107 children within our community. November is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This year, in addition to the purple scarf campaign, Three Oaks is promoting a Male Allies campaign. Domestic Violence is not just a woman’s issue or an issue that pertains to the victim. Men can be allies in the movement to end domestic violence. Throughout
November Three Oaks staff members will be out in our community recognizing influential men who can put a voice to violence against women. Anyone who would like more information about Three Oaks, how to purchase a scarf, or how to donate is encouraged to contact Kristin Farrell, Training and Education Coordinator at 613-962-1234 ext 307or at publiceducation@bellnet.ca Also, Three Oaks, in partnership with the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses, is calling on all Ontarians to purchase a purple scarf during November, as Woman Abuse Prevention Month is recognized. The effort is part of the fifth-annual Wrapped in Courage campaign. Women shelters and community organizations across the province are engaging with their communities to address the overlooked issue of woman abuse in Ontario. Throughout the month of November, people are asked to show their support by wearing a enough. It takes the commitment and support of an Three Oaks staff members (from left) Amy purple scarf to let women and their children know they entire community to end violence against all women. Rose, Kristin Farrell and Jenn Loner show are not alone. The courage of a woman alone is not

Rebel production storms the Old Church Theatre Quinte West - The Old Church Theatre in Quite West is presenting the one man play “Rebel of Hungerford” this Friday November 24th. Playwright Mark Lesage of Tweed has made a dramatic retelling of one of the events of our fledgling nation’s 1837 Rebellion involving his greatgreat grandfather Pierre Lesage. Pierre’s adventure culminates in his arrest for treason and his acquittal with the help of a young lawyer, John A. MacDonald. “Be forewarned,” said promoters of the play, “this is not an objective historical narration. Pierre will recount his experiences complete with all the sectarian and political prejudices of the age.” Doors open at 7 p.m. and the performance begins at 7:30. Admission $15 in advance $20 at the door.

Ambulance service shaves urban response times BY JACK EVANS
In spite of a sharp increase in call volumes, the report for Hastings County’s Emergency Services Committee last week for the first nine months of the year shows a decrease in response times in almost all cases. The call volume rose from 24,269 calls for the first nine months of last year to 25,901 this year. The service delivered the following response times with last year’s comparable figure in brackets: Bancroft 4.39 minutes (5.07); North zone excluding Bancroft, 16.28 minutes (16.47) central zone , 13.44 minutes (13.53); south zone401 corridor, 7.14 minutes (7.06) Hastings County total average , 8.04 minutes (9.31.) Mayor Tom Deline asked why Central Hastings is seeing little to no improvement in response times, however. He was told the increase in calls is particularly telling in
that region owing to a lack of ambulances and crews and that it is expected to be addressed in 2018 with the addition of new vehicles. Prince Edward County response time was 8.04 minutes compared to 9.31 for last year. The committee also approved a recommendation to county council for the purchase of six new ambulances as regular replacements for aging vehicles, five for Hastings County and one for Prince Edward, which the Hastings service covers under contract. Total cost is $670,249, which is already included in this year’s budget. Meanwhile, the county has received a letter from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care increasing its allocation for land ambulance services to First Nations communities by up to $285,706. That increase brings total provincial support for the county service up to $7,680,229.
Housing shift will add 14 households tion, the centre was celebrating the paying off of its mortgage last week. Under ministry guidelines, the ministry funding must be directed to another operating component. The committee has recommended its rent supplement and housing allowance programs. These programs provide assistance in the form of $354 per month to 90 households across the county. Community and Human Services staff commented that these programs have been “highly successful in supporting households on the social housing waitlist with high accommodation costs.” They also calculated that they could add 14 more households to the program through to 2024. The committee also passed a recommendation to offer a contract to Bridge Street United Church to manage the required homelessness enumeration for participation in new provincial assistance programs for homelessness. Funding is also covered by the provincial program.
BY JACK EVANS
Hastings County will submit a revised program delivery and fiscal plan to the Ministry of Housing for rent supplement funding under the housing allowance direct delivery program. A recommendation to council for that passed at the Community and Human Services Committee last week. The move follows expiration of an agreement of 10 years standing with Belleville’s Quinte Living Centre. The QLC has been part of the county’s housing and homelessness plan, providing 30 units. The centre has notified the county that it doesn’t want to renew its participation despite a sharp increase in funding from $67,776 to $127,080 per year for a 64-month term. A letter from the QLC states its goal is to phase out subsidized units toward market renters and not be dependent on any government funding. Meanwhile, after 35 years of opera-
Housing seminar draws Hastings County interest BY JACK EVANS
Trenton – The focus was on the homeless and low-income people in terms of housing for a special gathering at the Trenton Legion Hall last Thursday.
More than 100 people attended the event, including a large delegation from Hastings County, including staff, elected members and Warden Rodney Cooney. Special guests were officials from Central Mortgage and Housing and provincial officials involved in public housing programs. Cooney summed up: “There was a lot of interesting information presented and discussed during a full morning.” He said he was particularly interested in one presentation from Taylor Collicott of the Northumberland County HomeShare program, one of several such agencies now spreading across Ontario. The not-for-profit enterprise seeks to assist young women, single or with families who are having problems finding safe and affordable shelter by matching them with senior
women who are living alone and have accommodation to spare. “HomeShare is about creating a mutually beneficial relationship between two people who want to help each other,” Collicott explained to the gathering. Host people are expected to be women aged 55 or over. Young women are expected to share in shelter costs and household costs and chores. The program helps screen all parties involved for mutual protection. Cooney said he found the concept quite interesting and hinted that Hastings county officials will probably be looking into it for the future. Provincial officials also reviewed their “Home for Good” shelter build program which Hastings is already active in, said Cooney, plus other homeless and affordable housing programs. Collicott said the concept for Northumberland County originated with a public health nurse who was a member of the county’s housing committee. That committee applied for a grant from the county for a two-year pilot project which was approved. Now, she said, with only a few months into its first year, they got 60 applications for both women needing shelter and women prepared to share it. She described it as “a good mix.” Of those, 20 are in serious negotiations for an arrangement and six have already been assigned.
Radon is the leading cause of
lung cancer in non-smokers What is radon? Radon is a colourless, odourless and tasteless radioactive gas found naturally in the environment. Radon is released into the air during the natural breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. Once it is released, radon breaks down into radioactive elements that can attach to dust and other substances in the air we breathe. An estimated 3300 lung cancer deaths in Canada are related to radon each year. Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. If you smoke, you are at an even higher risk of developing lung cancer if you are exposed to radon. Exposure to radon: You can be exposed to radon through; • Indoor air
o The indoor air can have high levels of radon when it seeps in and builds up in poorly ventilated and enclosed spaces from the soil and rocks around your home • Workplace exposure o Underground workers, such as subway or tunnel workers, may be at high risk of radon exposure The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) recommends that Canadians test their homes for radon and take action to reduce high levels. The age of your home is not a good indicator of how high indoor radon levels could be – the only way to know how much radon is in your home is to test. You can test your home for radon. Visit cancer.ca/prevention or call 1-888-939-3333 for more information on where to find radon test kits.

Guild working on hilarious farce for Christmas
Church theatre group presents classic yule show BY JACK EVANS
Westminster United Church Players present a warm, fuzzy start to the holiday season starting this Friday. It is a live stage production of the classic Christmas season motion picture: “It’s a Wonderful Life.” The perennial story about a man who seeks suicide as a way out of financial disaster for his family at the start of the Great Depression, a Scrooge-like land baron and a guardian angel comes to life thanks to a ast dripping with talent and directed by long-time theatre guild participant Pat Gray. Opening Friday, Nov. 24 , and running Saturday, Nov. 25 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 26 at 2 p.m., then Saturday, Dec.2 at 7:30 and a closing matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3. The cast spans all ages and draws talent from across the community, not just the church, including four child actors to seniors.
To add romantic reality, the lead players, George Bailey and his wife, are played by a married couple, Adri Boodoosingh, a policy editor at 8 Wing, Trenton and his wife, Heather is a program co-ordinator at Loyalist College. Guardian angel Clarence is played by Chris Thompson while Bob Carter plays the mean Mr. Potter, who owns most of the town. Several actors play multiple roles in a total cast of 23 plus plenty of back stage help. The Westminster Players have performed several shows over the years but this full-length show is one of the most challenging they have done so far. Most of the costumes were loaned by The Belleville Theatre Guild. Tickets are $15 per person, $10 for children, available at the church office on the Wallbridge Loyalist Road just north of Highway 401, telephone (613) 968-4304 or Elizabeth at (613) 8499889 or Julie at (613) 391-9590.

BY JACK EVANS
Belleville - If a good laugh is one of the things on your Christmas wish list, the Belleville Theatre Guild has just to “ticket” for you. Guild players are re-staging the hilarious farce, “Noises Off,” to run Nov. 30 through Dec. 16. This play is considered by many to be the most humorous play-within-a-play farce ever written. It was first put on by the guild quite a few years ago, but is coming back, directed by Dave Henderson and with a cast embracing many of the guild’s most experienced actors, a number of them winners in various categories of Eastern Ontario Drama League awards. This is a complex play, both in the size of the cast and the need to change elaborate sets several times between the three acts. Director Henderson has even suggested that activity might be worthwhile for the audience to actually watch rather than skip out for a coffee or break. “This is a very talented cast,” he commented at a recent rehearsal, “and the play is one of the funniest I have ever seen.”
The plot is a theatre cast is putting on a fictitious play called “Nothing On,” but both on stage and back stage there is conflict, naughtiness and insanely hilarious antics and lines. Because the actors play themselves back stage and their show characters on stage, most are performing dual roles. Written by English playwright Michael Frayn, it was inspired by a true incident when Frayn witnessed a production from a back stage vantage and found the antics of the cast back stage were at least as funny if not moreso than the play itself. He decided he should write a play about his experience. It was later made into a motion picture with a high-powered cast, including Carol Burnett and Christopher Reeves, but the movie was not as successful. Characters include a demanding and sarcastic director, an alcoholic actor and lust-stricken actors and actresses and generous plates of sardines. Cast members are: Moira Nikander Forrester, Wendy Roy, Maija Thompson, Wayne Clark, Lynn Fennell, Rob Lloyd, Heather Barker, Devon Carey and Scott Roodvoets.

For The Love of a Song bids farewell to fans in 2017 Belleville – A Belleville Christmas season tradition for music fans continues on the weekend of Dec. 1 and 2. But, this will be the last time. The cast of For The Love of a Song have been rehearsing for their 2017 performance; the final in the history of the series, says producer and director Susan Walsh. The finals shows take place at the Maranatha Church auditorium on Friday, Dec. 1 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 2 at 2 p.m. The “final farewell” show will include Broadway showstoppers, 40s big band hits, 80s classic rock, a visit to Santa’s workshop and seasonal favourites. Special guests include The Commodores Orchestra and Tawny’s School of Dance. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance at the church (Tuesday to Friday) or by calling 613-962-2062. They’re also available at the door. The show raises funds for Belleville’s Christmas Sharing Program and Adopt-A-Child. “Although we are sad to see it all end, we are so proud of how our shows have supported much needed programs in the City for the past 10 years,” said Walsh. “We love to perform and that is so evident when you see one of our shows. Being able to do something we are so
passionate about and contribute so much to the community at the same time is very rewarding.” “We are sad to say goodbye and have had an awesome musical journey, but sometimes change is good for everyone. These variety shows actually started in the 1990s, but I gave them up after five years due to the incredible amount of work required combined with my full time job workload, and, a desire to devote more time to other musical projects including ‘Harmonie’ and ‘The Cadillacs Showband’.” “When my mother passed away in 2007 she had a dying wish that I bring back the ‘For The Love of a Song’ shows as they had been a huge success in the audiences’ eyes, and, had raised much needed funding for several nonprofit organizations in the city. “Well, it’s been 10 years Mom and I think you would have been so proud of what we’ve accomplished!” Walsh asks that fans who’ve enjoyed the show send comments to the group’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ fortheloveofasong
