Brighton – Firefighters quickly doused a fire that broke out in a house at 494 Scriver Road Nov. 18. The lone resident tried to extinguish the fire that started in the kitchen “but it was growing too fast” and she exited the building, Brighton Fire Chief Rick Caddick said. Within 15 minutes of arriving at the scene around 12:30 p.m., “we had the fire under control.” But there were “a lot of hotspots”

that required further attention, Caddick added. Nineteen firefighters from Brighton’s two stations responded to the call and fire departments in Quinte West and Cramahe Township provided tanker support. Caddick estimated total damage at $50,000, from fire in the kitchen and smoke that spread throughout the residence. He couldn’t say for certain what caused the fire, which started in the area of the stove.

Memorial wall, plaque evoke old school memories By John Campbell Brighton – The building is gone but not forgotten, its former existence commemorated in a plaque and a memorial wall set out in the front yard of Brighton Public School. The plaque, formally revealed in a special ceremony held Nov. 20, provides a brief history of the building, from when it opened as Union High and Public School in September, 1915 to its demolition in 2012 after the new public school was built to replace it. The high school got its own building in 1955. The original school, built for more than $52,000, became a landmark, with its “ivy clad red brick walls, large win-

dows, imposing central entrance and ornamental details [which] spoke of a proud place of learning” that served many generations. The memorial wall incorporated “some design elements” and actual sections of the old school, principal John Goheen said. A bench, that will include bricks from the old school, will be added in the spring which “the community will be able to enjoy ... They can go sit and hang out for a little bit,” he said. “It helps connect the past to the future,” and lets students know what came before them. With more than 530 young people, Brighton Public School has a larger student

population than its predecessor, as a result of the French immersion program being moved over from Spring Valley Public School. The memorial project, which cost around $5,000, was carried out by the school board facilities department, with the assistance of the Brighton Heritage Advisory Committee and the school council. Catherine Foy, superintendent of education for student achievement, joined the Brighton Public School community in celebrating “the remarkable stories and legacy” of the former school and its graduates. “While the bricks and mortar of a school can be unique and even historic, it’s the peo-

Naturalists and others concerned about the proliferation of industrial wind turbines in the south of Prince Edward County fully understand the efforts TrueMan Tuck has made in aiding in the fight against corporate interests that exclude the wishes and needs of the people of Prince Edward County and its natural wildlife. TrueMan intends to continue representing the interests of the Bay of Quinte Citizen-Rulers in a number of different ways. If you want to work with TrueMan to address the issues that he highlighted during the elections, TrueMan urges you to contact him. As well, TrueMan Tuck warned the local voters during the last Provincial election and recent Federal election of the consequences of only voting for Liberal or Conservative candidates. Look at the mess we are in now with a majority Liberal government in Ontario and the same in Ottawa. TrueMan’s Different Viewpoint is that the real problem in these elections is that the failure to reform the Canadian election systems to be a proportionate system gives the one per cent of the global elite the ongoing ability to manipulate our elections by what TrueMan refers to as “Buffaloing” Canadian voters by panicking them to self-destructing. One of the most famous cliffs in North America where Buffalos were panicked and driven over the cliff to their slaughter was in Alberta Canada. Think about what just happened in the federal election. The combination of hatred for Harper, removing the blackout on the eastern results and Harper’s new trade agreement, combined with everything else got the one per cent ruling global elites exactly what they wanted - another either Liberal or Conservative majority government! TrueMan is a passionate and dedicated Christian crusader for Citizen-Rights and strongly believes that all bible based Christians and others who share Trueman’s determination to assert our God-given Judeo-Christian Citizen-Rulers rights of ownership and control over all corporations, whether government, quasigovernment or non-government need to permanently organize. TrueMan states:“God created human beings and we human beings cannot and should not claim to be equal or greater than our Creator. “Human Beings created corporations to serve humanity, not enslave and exploit humanity. Corporations cannot and should act as if they are equal or superior to human beings”!

OPINION

Terrorism: A Relatively Minor Issue Tolerance of intolerance

Gwynne Dyer

By sheer coincidence, a book I wrote called “Don’t Panic: Islamic State, Terrorism and Today’s Middle East” was published just before the terrorist attacks in Paris. So naturally everybody interviewing me about the book asked me if it is time to panic now. They couldn’t resist it. And of course I replied no,

it is not time to panic. If a train derailed in the Paris Metro, killing 130 people and injuring over 300, the story would dominate the news in France for around 24 hours, 48 hours tops. In other countries it would definitely be only a oneday story: just one more transport accident, in a world where trains collide, planes crash and ships sink from time to time. But if it’s not an accident – if human beings deliberately caused those deaths – then the media feeding frenzy starts. The story is twenty times as big, and it can dominate the news schedules for a week. Most people in Europe, North America and the Middle East have watched at least several hours of coverage of the Paris events and their aftermath – as long as a feature film – and even in more distant parts of the world it has been the event of the week. There is nothing puzzling about this phenomenon. It’s perfectly natural for people to be more interested in murder than in mere mechanical malfunctions. But the sheer volume of the coverage makes a terrorist attack feel like a much bigger event than it actually is. Even if you live a very long way from where the real action is. If you live in Syria, the threat isn’t just terrorism. Islamic State is already a major threat to the many Syrians it hates (Shias, Christians, Druze, and even Sunni Muslims who have worked for the government or fought in the army). If IS gained control of the whole country, the number of Syrian refugees would double or triple. If you live in Iraq, you are much less at risk, for Islamic State has little hope of expanding into the Shia-dominated parts of the country still under Baghdad’s control, or into the areas under Kurdish control. If you live in Turkey or other Arab countries – indeed, in any other Muslim country – you may face a serious threat from homegrown extremists, but all they get from IS is

encouragement and maybe a bit of training. It’s really a domestic problem. If you live in France or the United States or China, your only worry is the occasional terrorist attack that may have been encouraged by Islamic State – but the people who carry it out are mostly locals. You deal with that sort of thing just the way you dealt with other terrorist threats in the past: border controls, enhanced security measures at public events, and good intelligence. If Western air forces want to bomb Islamic State too, by all means do so, but they will be all alone in that job. The Arab states that are allegedly part of President Obama’s “coalition” have all withdrawn their air forces and are bombing Yemen instead. And the Turks are almost exclusively bombing the Kurds (including the Kurds fighting Islamic State), except when they shoot down a Russian plane. The Russian and “coalition” (mostly American) bombs falling on Islamic State have stopped its expansion, at least for the moment, and the recent air attacks on the tanker-trucks that carry the black-market oil out have certainly cut into its income, but it is not about to fall. As for “boots on the ground”, forget it. The only people fighting Islamic State on the ground are the Kurds and what’s left of the Syrian army after four years of war. The Syrian army was on the brink of collapse last summer before the Russian bombing campaign saved it, and it still lacks the strength to recapture much territory. Islamic State is going to be around for a while. Stopping Western air attacks on Islamic State might save some Western cities from terrorist attacks, but even that is not guaranteed. Islamic State is competing with alQaeda for support in the Muslim and especially the Arab world, and spectacular acts of terrorism are good recruiting tools. Islamic State also thinks it is following a divinely ordained script, which makes it relatively impervious to normal calculations of strategic advantage. Does this mean terrorist attacks inspired by Islamic State will continue for months or years no matter what the West does? Probably. Within living memory Western countries have fought real wars that killed millions of their citizens, and they didn’t buckle under the strain. The scale of the threat they face now is so much smaller that it is ridiculous to call it a war at all, and yet they flap about like frightened poultry. If terrorist attacks on the scale of Paris are the greatest threat facing the West, then these are very fortunate countries.

should be called out Editorial - By Chris Malette

“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” John F. Kennedy, 1963. I received a phone call from a gentleman from the Brighton area Monday, suggesting something needs to be perhaps written in these pages about the issue of tolerance toward the very imminent reality of 25,000 Syrian refugees arriving on our shores. Indeed, they will be coming right to our communities – some already here, as in the case of privately sponsored families and others, in many communities in our readership area, soon to arrive under those charity and faith-based private sponsorships. But, the caller on this day said he was appalled – himself an immigrant from Britain – that there appears to be an ugly undercurrent of intolerance, Islamophobia and even outright racism being voiced by otherwise community-minded individuals here in the semi-rural heartland of east central Ontario. “I mean, it’s just terrible, some of the things I have been hearing from people I would have otherwise thought to be accepting of people who are so clearly in need of being welcomed,” said the caller. I told him I doubted such a piece would resonate, that those who agree with calls for tolerance would read such a message and, while already committed to having open hearts and open minds, “it would be preaching to the choir. Those whose minds are set against bringing in these refugees aren’t going to be swayed by a few words in a newspaper editorial or column.” But, afterward, it became clear that is not the correct response. I told him, while he admittedly does not use a computer much and certainly is not part of the Facebook and other social media generations, he would be stunned at the viciousness being spewed in online posts by those who would shut our doors to these refugees. Do you honestly think a family of six or

eight Syrians who have endured several years of drought and horrific warfare meted out against them by their own government would risk death in leaking boats to get to a country where bone-chilling cold is a fact of life for four to six months of the year if they were not desperately in need of an outstretched hand of welcome from a country that was built on such gestures and waves of migrants? So it was that I decided we need to keep the discourse open on the issue of tolerance for refugees. Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness, if you will, but this conversation needs to be held. Is there not some credence to perhaps slowing the logistically impossible goal of 25,000 by December 31? Some very wellinformed and well-placed immigration experts believe so. Is it so we can screen out the bad apples? Make sure there isn’t an ISIS member cowering among the skirts of the civilian women and children? Sadly, far too many of our close-minded citizens think this is the overriding threat, when homegrown terrorism is far more a threat than a lone wolf terrorist slinking in under the wire among a wave of immigrants. Foolhardy to think this is the case? Not if the vetting process is allowed to work in its own due course and if that takes more time, so be it. But, to close our borders and our minds to the plight of these suffering hundreds of thousands of people? Is that who we’ve become as Canadians? Are we to assume the vulgar nature of some of our American neighbours who cheer wildly at the rants of the deranged ravings of some would-be politicians on the far right? I would hope not. For that reason, then, we must continue to speak out against intolerance and work to welcome these newcomers to places like Belleville, Trenton, Brighton, Campbellford, Tweed and anywhere else they may be invited to take refuge. It would be outright un-Canadian to do otherwise.

Report recommends changes in roads department By John Campbell Cramahe Township – Council has been told more staff and more training are needed to improve the operations of the township’s roads department. These and other recommendations are contained in a two-page report prepared by Dan McBride, roads supervisor for Northumberland County, who was seconded to Cramahe Township for six months this year to aid in the development of its roads management program. “One of the weaknesses identified is the lack of training received by roads staff,” said McBride, who suggested a number of schools and courses they should attend, including those having to do with snow removal, road maintenance and operation of a backhoe and loader.

McBride said the municipality “should consider hiring two additional staff to meet the needs of the roads and to have backup for the maximum hours reached during winter maintenance and for sick or vacation time coverage. He said there were times “it was challenging to perform certain previously planned activities” when a person was on sick leave or vacation. Also challenging was having the roads department be responsible for sanitary sewer works as well, “especially on days that there were sewer issues. Two men would be removed from the crew, which in turn, only left six roads staff to complete the daily operations,” McBride said. “Generally, roads are a standalone operation” and sewers are with the water department. He recommended that be looked at “to

alleviate issues going forward, or the municipality “consider outsourcing this component.” McBride further suggested that roads staff operate from a common location, the south yard, during the summer as the change he introduced “provided for an efficient deployment based on the projects being completed for the day.” In the winter staff should report out the north and south yards “to provide quicker response time for snow events.” A weekly work plan provides an opportunity for staff “to be more productive,” McBride said. They “worked well knowing ahead of time what needed to be accomplished and it made for an easier transition when faced with inclement weather and the requirement to switch up” the day’s tasks. McBride’s report was received as informa-

tion by council Nov. 17. “Obviously we’re in a little bit of limbo because we don’t have an operations manager yet,” Mayor Marc Coombs explained. CAO Dan O’Brien said resumes are currently being reviewed and a hiring committee was to be formed shortly. Audio wanted Deputy-Mayor Sandra Arthur said she has been told by some people who attend council meetings “they’re not able to hear” or follow what’s being discussed so she asked that the possibility of having a large screen displaying the agenda be considered for next year’s budget. It’s done at Northumberland County and “it’s very beneficial.” Arthur also suggested an audio system be considered. “It’s a step we need to review,” she said. Coombs agreed having a couple of screens to show the agenda and presentations made by visitors “would be very helpful.” Staff was directed to come back with options for improving the audio-visual aspects of council meetings.

A senior told police he picked up a hitchhiker on County Road 2 near Boes Road Nov. 18 and dropped him off in downtown Brighton, only to discover later that his wallet had been stolen from his jacket that had been in the back seat with the male. The suspect is described as being a Caucasian male in his 30s, five-foot-ten, with brown hair and an unkempt appearance. A Brighton resident contacted police after her car alarm was activated. Officers checked the area and no suspicious persons were found. The car was not damaged.

Brighton Digital Archives project launched at heritage centre By John Campbell

R0013568282

Brighton – Don’t toss out those photographs you found in the attic. The Brighton Digital Archives Committee is interested in seeing what you have. If they are photographs you want to retain, the committee will preserve them on a CD for just 75 cents a photo. But the committee won’t charge anything if you agree to lend or donate the picture to have it appear on the website the committee has created. “We saw a hole in Brighton’s history where there are photographs all over the place, some in collections, some just in private hands, and there’s no permanent place to keep them for safety,” said Dennis Fletcher, a founding member of the committee along with his wife Dorothy, Ralph de Jonge and Catherine Stutt. All four belong to Friends of Hilton Hall Heritage Centre. They’re concerned that as Brighton’s older

generation downsizes its possessions or die off, “we could be losing a lot of valuable photographs, because no one knows what to do with them,” Fletcher said. “If somebody cleaning out an estate finds a bunch of old photographs they may not understand the significance of some of them.” “Our fear is that too [many] valuable historical photographs and documents are going to be thrown out in the next few years if there’s not an avenue for that stuff to be collected.” Another concern is that “as the population ages the member of the family who could go through that album and identify people” will no longer be able to and that information “could be lost to us soon.” Donating the photographs means the right to use the electronic images is turned over to the committee, which can sell them if it wanted; lending prohibits their being sold or loaned to a third party, Fletcher said. In either case, the fee for scanning the pic-

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING The Council of the Municipality of Brighton will hold a public meeting for the following purposes: 1.

To provide proposed rate changes to By-Law 004-2015, dealing with water and sewer services. These charges are established to cover operating costs and capital expenditures related to the collection, treatment and distribution of drinking water, as well as operating costs and capital expenditures related to the collection and treatment of sewage.

To provide proposed rate changes to By-Law 0032015, dealing with, various fees and charges, including recreational facility rentals (eg. arena, ball and soccer fields, marina), building permits, planning fees, dog licenses, sign permits, refreshment vehicle permits and certain fire protection services.

tures and storing them on a CD is waived, “regardless of how many archival photographs they have,” Fletcher said. The physical copies also remain with the person who asked for the photos to be scanned. “Some people would be just as happy to get rid of these photographs because they’re downsizing,” while others might prefer to keep them in the family, Fletcher said. “We wanted to address both situations.” The committee is only interested in pictures for which answers to three questions can be provided: when was it taken, who’s in it, and what is the building shown. Photos with those basic details “can be of archival value,” and if more information can be provided, “so much the better,” Fletcher said. As the website grows, the committee is interested in tackling special projects, such as the railways or the apple industry that once figured prominently in Brighton’s history.

no longer exist also have significant archival value. The committee launched its project last Sunday, Nov. 22 at the Hilton Hall Heritage Centre. The event was successful as individuals and organizations came forward with photos and documents relevant to Brighton’s history. “We are very encouraged by the level of engagement and the quality of images, and we’re honoured to be part of sharing them with a global audience,” said Stutt, who thanked Xplornet for donating 4G Internet service in support of the project. Many organizations “are enthused with the prospect of having their collections – which some have had for decades – preserved and shared online. It was a very rewarding day.” One of the documents brought in was dated 1878 and “in really good condition,” Stutt said.

Half-cider, half-beer – introducing Holy Crow Trent Hills – Holy Crow! ChurchKey Brewing in Trent Hills and Empire Cider in Brighton have joined forces to do something that’s never been done before. “I do believe it’s the first time that a cidery and a brewery have collaborated on a beverage,” Church-Key owner John Graham declared, and the result is “a half cider, half beer” that’s also a first, he said. The cider ale “very much tastes like a bruised apple, which is quite neat.” The public will soon be able to judge for itself when Holy Crow as it’s called goes on sale at Church-Key at Pethericks Corner and Empire on Old Wooler Road near Codrington. The beverage will also be sold at bars and restaurants that are currently buyers of their products, from Toronto to Kingston for the cidery, and Windsor to Cornwall for the craft brewer. Publicans over the years have blended cider and beer at the tap in equal measure and called it a Snake Bite or Black Velvet, “but to my knowledge we’re the first ones to blend in the kettle, do a full boil and full fer-

ment together,” he said. “That makes it unique.” Graham made a batch of 1,800 litres at his micro-brewery, using juice that was a blend of five apples created by Chris McRae, who owns Empire with his wife Jennifer Jarrel, and his cousin Felix Wittholz and his wife Laura. “It’s an awesome idea at the root of it [Holy Smoke],” McRae said, and its use of actual juice sets it apart from apple-flavoured beers. The collaboration with Church-Key is “huge for us,” he added. “It gets our name out there [with a] company [that] has got a lot more reach,” and has been around much longer. Empire arrived on the scene in 2014 when the business produced 10,000 litres of cider from 50,000 pounds of apples, grown at Dunnett Orchards in Brighton. This year it’s already surpassed 17,000 litres. McRae, who works for the Department of National Defence at 8 Wing in Trenton, planted 300 trees on their five acre property, in order to meet what’s required under the law to have a retail store on site. Part of his vision in launching a cidery “was to help the apple industry,”

McRae said. “Brighton used to be one of the capitals of apple country,” but the number of orchards have steadily declined. There “used to be thousands of acres of apples in Brighton,” McRae said. “You may have hundreds now. His focus has always been to buy local as much as possible. “We want to become one of [Dunnett’s] biggest customers.” Holy Crow “is a one-off but if it’s got legs we’ll do it again,” Graham said. “It was fun to do it together.” At six per cent Holy Crow’s alcoholic content is slightly less than the cider Empire produces but higher than Church-Key’s standard fare. Coming up with Holy Crow involved “experimentation and, like we do with everything, a leap of faith,” Graham said. Even though you’re using good quality ingredients, you’re “not exactly sure what influence” each will have on the other. But a recent sampling persuaded him its taste is “beautiful,” he said. The cider is “the backbone of the John Graham, owner of Church-Key Brewing, his general manager Agnes King, and Chris McRae, coowner of Empire Cider, toast the collaborative effort that produced a hybrid beverage, Holy Crow, beer.” that’s half-cider, half-ale.

County to pass on opening its doors in 2016

By John Campbell

Trent Hills – Northumberland County has shut the door on taking part in the Ontario-wide Doors Open event next year. In a letter to council, Northumberland’s records manager and archivist, Aaron Bangay, said the county “enjoyed being part of the event and the experience the past three years but has decided to step back for 2016” to focus on 2017, when Canada will celebrate its 150th anniversary. “As the county is striving to contain budget increases, it has been identified that resources are limited and need to be assigned to projects that will result in the greatest return,” Bangay wrote, and the celebration two years from now will be “an excellent opportunity to bring tourists to the area.” Nineteen sites of historical and cultural interest, including schools, churches, heritage centres, a museum, archives and an inn took part in Open Doors Northumberland held in June, the third year the county had participated in the Ontario-wide event of Doors Open. Admission was free and some sites hosted special events such as behind-the-scenes tours, workshops, and live demonstrations. The county’s decision was communicated to Trent Hills heritage advisory committee. “We’re actually a little bit disappointed,” Councillor Cathy Redden said. “We’re concerned ... it gets away from the momentum of individuals across the province ... visiting [other places].” The committee is looking at “doing something within the community and tag it onto another event,” Redden said. “We’re certainly trying to stay involved. We just hope this doesn’t get us out of the loop from people that see us as an area with a lot of interesting buildings.” Since Ontario launched the first province-wide event in 2002, Open Doors has attracted more than five million visits.

Brighton - After a mere 10 years, 10 Happy Quilters have reached a milestone, putting together 2,000 quilts that regularly go to local hospitals, nursing homes, and anywhere there’s a need, says member Isabelle Grieves. And every quilt or fiddly blanket has a story, whether it’s the woman who refused to leave her room because of her catheter bag, or that person with dementia who couldn’t keep her hands still, and this group of ladies answered the call. “If it’s of use anywhere, these ladies answer the call,” Grieves said. They make fiddly blankets for dementia patients who need something to do with their hands, and that catheter bag cover meant that the woman could leave her room. “They started the Fiddly quilts for patients with dementia, and these have taken off quickly,” Grieves said. “We were told these folks are restless toward the end of their lives, and the Fiddly Quilts give them relief.” About 65 veterans at Sunnybrook Hospital received quilts with a Canadian theme last year alone, and there are quilts for babies, wraps for those stillborn, Christmas quilts, and even winter coats for llamas. “They are a non-stop group,” Grieves said. “If someone needs a quilt, they are given one.” Quilts, diapers, vests and even school bags, regularly go to aboriginals in Northern Ontario and Quebec and Labrador, and have gone as far as Africa, Cuba, Haiti and Mexico. In December of 2013, the ladies completed a quilt and donated it to the National Air Force Museum in Trenton. “The Memorial Quilt has the names

of the 159 soldiers who perished in Afghanistan,” Grieves said. “And it’s supposed to go up in the museum one day.” The quilt lists all the soldiers names, dates and the unit they belonged too. “It was a huge project and a very sad one as they cross-checked each name,” Grieves said. Valerie Campey, who works on the Fiddly Quilts, pillowcases, receiving blankets, burp pads, and more, said she joined the Happy Quilters through the Salem Valley Quilters. “Helping someone gives us great satisfaction,” Campey said. All the ladies join together each Thursday and work on quilts and other projects, then take it all home with them and continue their work through the week. While space is limited at their meeting place, so they really can’t accommodate any new members right now, they said they’re always happy to accept material donations. Old sheets, flannel and fleece are always welcome, old scrubs, and more. To donate please contact Isabelle Grieves at 613475-3626.

Rules & Tips

Christmas Special

Tie your brush into bundles no longer than 3 ft., and with no material larger than 2” diameter.

Fragances $25 ea or 2 for $40 or 3 for $50

There is no limit to the number of paper leaf & yard waste bags or bundles of brush for collection.

Each bag/bundle must weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg).

Leaves that are not in paper yard waste bags will not be picked up.

Roll tops of the bag shut. Rolling the top sheds the rain and snow and prevents leaves from falling or blowing out

Only use paper yard waste bags. Paper yard waste bags are available at most local hardware stores and building centres. Please do not include: garbage, litter, animal feces, or soil.

Community association identifies concerns in first meeting with council ay Gift Just for Yo! d i o H A

By John Campbell Cramahe Township – The newly formed Cramahe Community Association presented council with a number of concerns it has which the nonprofit volunteer organization will help the township address “in any way” it can. Its concerns include “many businesses [that] are struggling to survive” and “gaps in maintaining infrastructure such as roads and railway crossings,” CCA president Burke Friedrichkeit told council Nov. 17. The downtown core of Colborne is finding it “hard to attract new business to the area,” he said, and the rock terraces installed “some years ago ... have been left to languish and the area appears old and unkempt.” There are also concerns about safety because the angle parking spaces make it “very difficult” for motorists backing out to see oncoming traf traffic, Friedrichkeit said. Also unsafe are the level railway crossings where there are “holes in the pavement and rotted wood around the tracks,” which will get worse “if only stopgap repairs are made,” he said. Friedrichkeit asked if it were possible for council to get a commitment from CN as to when the required repairs will be done. “We feel the best way forward is one of reinvigoration and growth,” based on “a strategic vision to expand the tax base and not rely only on the existing population base,” he said. Short-term infrastructure investments are needed “to encourage developers to build more affordable homes for young families and retirees who will in turn bring more disposable income for goods and services purchased locally.” Council members chose not to ask any ques-

tions after Friedrichkeit concluded his presentation but Mayor Marc Coombs offered some encouraging words. “I’m sure we can find some way of working together in the future,” he said. “They come across very positively that they want to work together with the community, there’s nothing obviously wrong with that so, yeah, we would welcome them with open arms,” he said. “If they have suggestions or ideas that they think are workable that they want to bring to our attention, that’s great.” However, the association’s request that a committee of council be struck to work with it on “key issues” in the community will need to be discussed “a little bit more in depth [about] what they actually want with that,” Coombs said. The association is “committed to improving the quality of life and encouraging a sense of community for residents making Cramahe a better place to invest, work and live,” said Friedrichkeit, the owner of a bed-and-breakfast who’s also the president of the local chamber of commerce. “There is a sense that some newcomers will want to make changes that will have a negative impact on Cramahe,” he said, but “sustaining the status quo by raising property taxes stresses the local economy.” “We need to change attitudes towards new levels of community engagement that welcomes newcomers as valuable additions and does not see them as threats or outsiders.” Coombs said the concerns raised by the CCA were not new. “It’s nothing I’ve not heard before,” he said. “They’re all well-stated. I could quibble with a few of them but that doesn’t solve anything. They want to work together positively with council and I think that’s a good thing.”

Quinte West’s Marijuana for Trauma has helped more than 120 since opening Trenton - “It’s growing a lot, it’s grown faster than I thought it would go off the ground and what is surprising the most about it is the amount of civilians… wow it’s kind of flooring in a way really.” Marijuana for Trauma has been open for a month and a half in Quinte West and Sheldon Clarke, full-time volunteer at Marijuana for Trauma (MFT), said it’s gone better than expected, with a couple of surprises. “It’s been overwhelming to see how many

people that are out there who are really seeking help through cannabis… it’s kind of eye-opening, even for a guy like me who has already had his mind blown by it,” Clarke said. He estimated half of the Quinte West MFT clients are civilians. Clarke is a veteran who was medically released from the military. He served 23 years and after multiple tours in Afghanistan and Bosnia he now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. He sought help through Marijuana for Trauma when the first Ontario office opened in Markham. Clarke said it changed his life and made him a

part of society again. Now he volunteers his time to help others cope with their mental or physical illnesses. “We’ve got nothing but a great welcome here,” Clarke said. “We’ve helped a lot of people.” Clarke said many people in the community have used MFT’s services but also people from Toronto, Kingston and even Ottawa are seeking their help. MFT is an organization that helps to provide alternative medical solutions and support to veterans and civilians and helps veterans access programs they are entitled too through Veterans Affairs Canada. MFT also runs peer support groups and is preparing to start cooking classes to teach people the different ways you can prepare marijuana. Clarke said MFT is starting to turn into a safe place for veterans and civilians to go to get out of the house or talk to people who understand what they’re going through. “I think, for a lot of the guys, they’ve actually made MFT a part of their daily routine,” Clarke said. “Just being here helps them, they don’t even have to say anything, and they can help out when they’re here.” Clarke knows there is many other people who are isolated and don’t want to ask for help. He said he’s determined to reach the veterans who have retired

and faded to black, hoping a friend or relative hears about MFT and points them in MFT’s direction. ”There was a gentleman who had isolated himself for 12 years and never left the house. I come back to the first meeting and he’s coming through the door in a wheelchair, he’s an amputee, and he says ‘Hey man, good to see you,’ all I’ve got to do is stand there and say ‘No man, it’s good to see you.’” Clarke said MFT has been trying to expand into the Petawawa area, due to the large military presence, but the organization has faced some barriers, mainly due to the stigma against marijuana. He said the stigma is beginning to get better, in part thanks to a new Liberal majority government, and hopes that people continue to be educated about the plant and supportive of the benefits marijuana is able to bring to people suffering mentally or physically. “There’s nothing out there that we wouldn’t do for a vet,” Clarke said. “We are trying to get the vet a normal quality of life, an interest, a hobby, a purpose, a reason to get up in the morning, to not struggle like we do daily, and it’s not just vets, sadly civilians are in the position too.”

Trenton churches sponsoring Christian refugee family

By Erin Stewart

Trenton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Churches across the city are working towards raising $40,000 to bring a Middle Eastern refugee family to Quinte West. Pastor Luke Vanderkamp, of St. Andrews Presbytherian Church in Trenton, said they have decided to sponsor a Christian family because

of what he learned through researching what is going on in Syria. Vanderkamp said he realized there are 20 million refugees in the world and a number of minority groups, including Christians, are being persecuted within refugee camps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a limited number of resources itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually the minorities that get left out, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly R0013576385

whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening in United Nations camps,â&#x20AC;? Vanderkamp said. As part of their criteria for a family, Vanderkamp set a goal to specifically help a Christian family who are facing persecution because of their faith; meaning the family they sponsor may not necessarily be from Syria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This whole refugee crisis has a much bigger picture to it than maybe what we often see on mainstream media, so I definitely wanted to do something about it but I also wanted to address some of the inequality that was going on,â&#x20AC;? Vanderkamp said. As the president of the Quinte West Ministerial Association, Vanderkamp said he brought the idea forward to other churches in the community and all of the churches in Trenton are working together to sponsor the family. The Association will be working alongside the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), who has the sponsorship agreement with the government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here we are, coming together as churches and working with an organization that none of us are affiliated with,â&#x20AC;? Vanderkamp said happily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before we are able to look at potential families to bring in, MCC says we need to raise 80 percent of the funds that are going to be required.â&#x20AC;? They are planning to sponsor a six to eight person family and need to raise $40,000. Vanderkamp said they have already raised $6,000 from word-of-mouth within the church communities so far and said they just added the fundraiser to their bulletins and announced it at mass on Sunday, Nov. 22. Vanderkamp is hoping the word begins to spread throughout the community. In response to Canadians who do not want refugees coming to Cana-

da, Vanderkamp had this to say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can understand why they might have that feeling, fear is a horrible motivator and a lot of people are afraidâ&#x20AC;Ś If we are going to decide to be a people of love then we need to do this.â&#x20AC;? Anyone who would like to donate

can go to the Quinte West for Refugees page on Facebook where there is a link to the Mennonite Central Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website where donations are accepted and you can also issue cheques. If you would like other information you can email qwrefugees@gmail.com.

Father Aidan Dasaah, pastor of St. Carthagh’s and St. Edmund’s Catholic Churches, who is originally from Ghana also addressed recent world events. “We confess that recent events and trends in the world have resulted in coldblooded massacres, terrorism, intimidation, fear, and needless pain and suffering. Peace has eluded us … in faith and humility we look to You to touch every human heart. Calm the ways of terror and open our eyes to Your plan of compassionate care for all.” Reverend Stephen Brown of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church helped with organizing the prayer vigil and in his prayers noted “We’re now a

global world where every region impacts every other and very often this contributes to great hardship … may the pursuit of peace not itself cause violence.” In a concluding prayer, Reverend Nancy Beale, a chief organizer of the vigil was unflinching. “We pray for the children, the children who have seen and heard things that no child should ever have to see and hear. We pray for the children who have lost loved ones. We pray for the children and their loss of innocence.” Reverend Giesbrecht remarked af afterwards, “I was really happy to see the number of people that came out and the good spirit among the group. I appreciated the prayers that were offered.”

Reverend Caroline Giesbrecht of St. John’s United Church added her prayers saying, “We acknowledge Your love for every person and tribe and race. You know the pain and anguish that many of Your people are experiencing in the aftermath of recent violence in France and Lebanon and elsewhere … we pray that peace and goodwill might dwell in Tweed and in the hearts of everyone here.”

Tweed – More than 30 people gathered on a chilly November Sunday evening recently to quietly offer prayers for peace in Tweed Memorial Park. With the moon mostly hidden by clouds and the temperature hovering around the freezing point, the group stood in a semi-circle in the darkness, each holding a lit candle. Several of the ministers (and a priest) present read prayers prepared for the occasion. Salvation Army Major Patsy Rowe began with a prayer for the many suffering around the world and asked “even as we enter this season of Advent

Belleville – In keeping with holiday tradition, the CP Holiday Train is getting ready to make some whistle stops in the Quinte region. The train, which is always decked out in holiday lights and features a travelling music show, is coming to the area on Monday, Nov. 30. It will stop in Belleville at 10 a.m. at Mile 91 Belleville Sub, just west of the storage facility on Keegan Way. Next, it will make its way to Trenton, where it will stop at 11:30 a.m. at RCAF Road & County Road 21, on the south side of the railway crossing. It will also stop in Brighton at 12:30 p.m. on Prince Edward Street, east of the railway crossing. CP encourages Canadians to come and see the train, enjoy some music performances, and leave a donation for a food bank. In Belleville, guests are asked to bring a donation for the Gleaners Food Bank. “Year after year, the Holiday Train brings great talent and memorable experiences to families across our network while raising money for local food banks and food shelves,” said E.

Brighton – Mayor Mark Walas says concerns about his proposed Lakeside Landing subdivision near Presqu’ile Provincial Park are being heard and will be addressed. The plan to build 45 single and semi-detached houses on Lakeshore Road has drawn fire from residents on Lakehurst Street, with the most recent criticism coming from Diana Pooles. She said in a letter to council that the subdi-

vision being put forward by the mayor’s development company, 952849 Ontario Limited, “is totally inappropriate for many reasons,” including the impact it could have on the park, lake and bays nearby, and the flooding it might cause. She asked that concerns and questions “that went unanswered and were not addressed” at council’s Nov. 2 meeting be added to the agenda for the Dec. 7 meeting.

Mayor says residents’ subdivision concerns to be addressed Lakehurst Street residents failed to receive notice that rezoning of the land was coming up for discussion. “I think that reflects badly on us, for one, and it complicates the issue,” said Councillor John Martinello, who spoke against simply receiving the letter for information when council met Nov. 19 to complete unfinished business from its meeting three days earlier. Council needed to send a message that Pooles’ concern was being taken “seriously,” Martinello said. Councillors Laura Vink and Brian Ostrander said staff have been directed to answer the issues that have been raised, which included circulation of the notices.

CFB Trenton busily preparing for up to 950 refugees By Erin Stewart Trenton - CFB Trenton is busier than ever preparing for the possibility of hosting 950 Syrian refugees Commanding Officer, Col. Colin Keiver told a recent Trenton audience. Keiver addressed the Syrian refugee crisis and said he is expecting a government announcement on the issue to come this weekend, during a speech he made at the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce breakfast. “In the meantime, we keep preparing. My direction to my folks right now is ‘get ready and make sure we are ready’ so if they do show up we are able to look after them the way they need to be looked after,” he said. Keiver said base officials are spending most for their time right now on making sure 8 Wing facilities are ready for refugees in terms of accommodations and food. He said skirting is currently being put on the bottom of the buildings used for the cadet camp in order to winterize the buildings. “At the end of the day, if the government plans to send these Syrian refugees here, as I have told my people… we shall absolutely do everything we can to respect the dignity of these people, they deserve

that,” Keiver said to applause from around 70 people who attended the Chamber of Commerce breakfast. Keiver also wanted to clarify his meaning behind previous comments he made when he said he was concerned about security, saying they were taken out of context. Keiver was quoted by CountyLive, a Picton-based online news site, after an appearance before the joint meeting of Picton Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, recently, saying he was “worried” about security issues surrounding a move to put more than 1,000 foreign civilians on Canada’s largest air force base. “As a base commander, I’ll be candid,” Kreiver was quoted as saying at the service club luncheon. “I worry about things like security at this end – at the largest air force base in Canada. The simple act of putting 1,100 non-military personnel into the middle of the largest air force base in Canada causes me concern from a security perspective. Even if they’re the best-intentioned people, it causes me concerns. So it’s all those things we’re wrestling with.”  His comments also made it to television’s CTV National News where they caused something of a stir. Keiver told the Trenton audience

those comments were interpreted as “Oh my goodness, there’s bad guys coming,” but told the Trenton gathering that is not the case at all. “Let me be clear on this, I worry about the security of my members and their families every single day regardless of what they’re doing. My job is to make sure I look after my people and their members and at the end of the day security also means looking after the security of any refugees that come into Trenton.” Keiver said there is a challenge in hosting a large amount of refugees from a different culture who don’t speak the same language. He said he will give his people a full day’s worth of cultural awareness training, so they don’t offend through the best of intentions, if the government announcement will have them moving forward with the 25,000 refugees coming to Canada by the end of 2015. “So all of these things that I view as security related issues, to make sure that we treat each other with the respect and dignity that both sides deserve, because if we don’t, that’s when I’ve got a security issue.” Keiver said the base is aiming to be finished their preparations for refugees by Dec. 1, when the

movement of Syrian refugees could possibly begin. “It was a little bit rushed at first until we sat down and nailed out what exactly we had to do,” Keiver said of the Dec. 1 deadline. “I’m quite comfortable where we are at right now in terms of our ability to house these people as of the first of December.” Meanwhile, the Trenton Military

Family Resource Centre is looking for playpens, cots or mats to assist the refugees coming to the base. They are not equipped for all the infants that will be arriving and are requesting help.

8 Wing gets sporty for RBC Sports Day

CFB Trenton - They came out in droves to participate in the RBC Sports Day in Canada at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. “I watched a level of participation that I’ve never seen before at this Wing,” noted 8 Wing Commander Colonel (Col.) Colin Keiver following the event and while giving kudos to base personnel for making it happen by taking part. It was the same theme espoused by Major (Maj.) Jeanae Jackson, OPI for the event. She added that organization of the event was a total team effort as well, but would not have been as successful as it was without the participation and involvement of base personnel. “You guys made this happen by showing up and taking part,” she said at the closing ceremonies, where it was announced that 424

Squadron had won the Wing Commander’s Challenge Sports Day in Canada trophy. In fact, personnel were only following Col. Keiver’s orders. In his morning presentation, he told the participants they had a job to do. “You guys have a job to do today – go out, have fun and get to know one another and respect each other,” he instructed. Two action-packed days were set up, the first to involve as many base personnel on Friday and the second to open the facilities on the base to civilian personnel and to family members of base personnel on Saturday. Quinte West councilor Duncan Armstrong, whose father he described as a tough-love sergeant killed in a training accident in 1969 while serving in Trenton as a search and rescue technician with 424 Squadron, said he was a life-long

If there was one major takeaway from this event, it was that it should be held earlier in the calendar year next year, he noted.

Trenton Golden Hawks lose in double overtime

Trenton – The Trenton Golden Hawks faced a tough loss on Friday, falling to the Toronto Patriots in double overtime. CFB Trenton Commanding Officer, Col. Keiver, dropped the puck on Friday night’s game in support of National Sports Day with over 600 fans at the rink. The teams had very different records going into Friday’s game, Patriots with six wins, 14 losses, two overtime losses and the Hawks with 21 wins, two losses and one overtime win. Two shots got past goalie Jackson McIntosh in the second period. The Hawks battled to tie the game in the third period with two goals scored by Jordan Chard and Kevin Lavoie and Liam Morgan with the two assists. Improved playing in the third period wasn’t enough for the Hawks to seal the victory. The Patriots scored the winning goal in double OT, a disappointing loss for the team and over 600 fans. John McDonald, director or hockey operations for the Golden

Hawks, said they were faced with a couple of injuries going into Friday’s game and six players had played six games in five days “who were a little tired and didn’t have much gas left in the tank.” The Trenton Golden Hawks have still had a fantastic season so far and continue to top the Ontario Junior Hockey League East Division with 21 wins to date. Goalie Daniel Urbani is still number one in the league and Liam Morgan rounds out the list of the league’s top scorers in the tenth spot. The Hawks are hoping to pick up their winning streak again when they host the Whitby Fury on Wednesday and another home game against the North York Rangers on Friday.

OSPCA seizes 85 animals from local home

By Brett Mann

Tweed – One of the largest seizures of animals took place near Tweed and the homeowner was charged with assault in the raid. The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) with the assistance of the Quinte Humane Society seized 85 dogs and cats from a home on Crookston Road Nov. 18. In total 53 dogs, 23 puppies and 10 cats were removed to the Humane Society’s shelter in Belleville. While many of the animals did not appear to be malnourished or mistreated, some did require veterinary attention, said Frank Rockett, Humane Society executive director. “On November 18, 2015 the Quinte Humane Society and the Ontario SPCA Major Case Management Team executed an Ontario SPCA search warrant in the town of Tweed Ontario,” Rockett reported. “Mainly it’s enforcement agents of that team and additional agents if required that work together for the team to handle things that are high volume like this.” The seizure was an unusually large one for the local humane society and Rockett noted provincial police officers were part of the operation. “They were involved in the execution of the warrant, but this is our officers who are dealing with this particular type of matter.” OSPCA officers are those who will be following the case through the court process, “if it goes to that,” said Rockett. Asked how unusual a seizure of this many animals is for the local humane society, Rockett replied, “It’s certainly a large number, the largest we’ve had this year. Total 85 animals, 10 cats, 52 adult dogs and 23 puppies … some of them were recommended to have almost immediate veterinary care, and

we can do that. The others are all in various states of health and we’re taking all the necessary steps to get them in good health. There was a certain level of care that was happening, but it wasn’t adequate for the sheer num-

ber of animals. It’s our responsibility to make sure that animals are cared for properly.” Describing the added burden placed on the society’s resources, Rockett said, “We may have, at a given time,

150 or so animals at the shelter. To receive 85 in one shot, that’s a tremendous number of animals.” He credits the dedication of his staff in the situation. “The level of care they provide and the amount of compassion they

show is outstanding. It’s on a daily basis but it really stands out in a situation like this. If not for the actual work and dedication of my staff we would not be able to cope.” Please “OSPCA” on page B3

Nurses’ Association denounces proposed QHC cuts 27 positions. Stroud accused QHC of inventing “a new magical language to paint a prettier picture of its cuts to registered nurses that threaten the safety of patients needing care.” “Throwing around expressions such as ‘changing the inter-professional care model’ and ‘supporting the senior-friendly hospital strategy’ to announce devastating RN cuts to units at Quinte Health Care sites is just an attempt to fool the community into believing that patient care will not suffer,” HaslamStroud said. “In fact, the loss of a total of 33 full-time and 12 part-time registered nurses is the

loss of almost 100,000 hours of hands-on, RN care per year for our patients – plain and simple.” Haslam-Stroud pointed out the cuts to RNs are occurring across three sites, with RNs cut from Trenton Memorial Hospital’s emergency department, operating room and recovery room; RNs cut from Belleville’s complex continuing care rehab, medicine unit and rehab day hospital, surgical unit, infection control and newly formed women/children unit; and RNs cut from Picton’s endoscopy unit and in-patient unit. “Registered nurses know that the research is clear,” says Haslam-Stroud. “Our patients

Belleville – The president of one of the unions impacted by proposed cuts to Quinte Health Care is speaking out against the move. Linda Haslam-Stroud, president of the Ontario Nurses Association, had some harsh words for QHC management in a statement released on Friday, Nov. 20; a day after QHC announced a restructuring plan that would result in 84 fewer positions.

Woodlot event draws record crowd

When it comes to wooded areas in the Quinte region, strange things are happening, the annual woodlot conference sponsored by the Quinte Stewardship Council was told Friday. The event, moved to a new location in the Batawa Community Centre after many years in the Knights of Columbus Hall, Trenton, drew a record crowd of more than 240 for a full day of lectures, displays and conducted hikes. Southern Ontario generally is lagging behind other jurisdictions in implementing its own biodiversity strategy plan, mainly from development pressures. But the situation is improving as more landowners and municipal councils come onside for conservation and protection of habitat and ansis (areas of natural or scientific interest.) Mark Stabb, central Ontario program director , Nature Conservancy of Canada, had special praise for the work of stewardship councils, especially the Quinte area one. He also lamented that from what was once a network of such councils across the province, many have folded. Valuable wetlands continue to dis-

OSPCA seizes

Continued from page B1 Rockett noted that there is an ongoing investigation into the case and that he was limited in the information he was free to share. “This is certainly why we’re here, to take care of animals that need care, but we really do rely on the community, the community of Tweed as well, to carry on this function.” An attempt to contact the animals’ owner was unsuccessful. Tex Ritter, senior OSPCA agent, initially attended the home where the animals were seized. Asked if this was in response to a specific complaint, he noted that “almost all of our cases result from informants … we had police officers with us and we executed a warrant. The property owner was there.” He agreed with Rockett’s description of the state of health of the animals. “We had a veterinarian on site and she provided an assessment of all the animals and the environment. This resulted in a Veterinarian’s Certificate of Removal and on her advice we removed the animals.” “It was quite a large seizure, bigger than most,” said Ritter. “This was a little overwhelming for one officer to handle so we called in the team.” In the course of the operation one person was charged with assaulting a peace officer and Ritter said investigations are ongoing. It was reported one of the investigating officers alleged being shoved by the homeowner.

appear under development, but that pace is at least slowing, he reported. Species at risk, especially turtles and amphibians, remain so, but again, some progress is being made. Municipal councils, conservation authorities and landowners are increasingly coming to realize the value of conservation for habitat and variety of species and general health of the land. A minimum of 17 per cent of land area being conserved is now considered the rule of thumb, he said, and some areas have a way to go to reach that. Also threatened are alvar areas and prairie oak habitats. Flying squirrels was one of his passions. He explained there are two types in Ontario, the northern and southern. The northern one is squirrel sized and distinctly reddish in colour. The southern one is chipmunk size and blondish. In recent years, with milder winters, the southern breed’s range is moving northerly. There is also evidence that the two species, distinct for thousands of years, are hybridizing, sharing tree holes for shelter and producing cross-animals of different sizes and colouring. For log-keeping naturalists, he noted that the largest native white pine, Ontario’s official tree, is now near Arnprior, after long-standing record holders, including a fa-

American Idol winner on the way to Havelock

By Bill Freeman

Havelock – American Idol winner Scotty McCreery will bring his rich, southern voice to the 27th annual Havelock Country Jamboree Aug. 1821. McCreery wowed judges and fans in 2011 when he became the youngest male vocalist to win the American Idol title and second youngest overall. It was the show’s 10th anniversary year and it launched McCreery on a fast-rising career that has seen him tour with Brad Paisley and The Band

Perry in 2012 and this year on Rascal Flatt’s Riot Tour. The Band Perry is on the way to Havelock too. The Jamboree made the announcement of McCreery’s Aug. 20 show along with appearances by The Road Hammers, Tebey, The Good Brothers and the Sweetgrass Band who join The Band Perry, Sammy Kershaw, Asleep at the Wheel, Chad Brownlee, Jess Moskaluke, Jaydee Bixby, Runaway Angel and Kansas Stone at the four-day music and camping festival with more names to be released. The laid-back McCreery followed

up his American Idol success with the smash hit debut album “Clear As Day” which was one of the biggest selling albums of 2011, producing two top 20 songs. So far he’s sold over 2.5 million albums and has had three certified platinum singles He grabbed the American Country Music Association’s Best New Artist award in 2012. “McCreery was clearly meant for the stage,” said Angela Smith of The Patriot Ledger of Quincy, Massachusetts

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

What about sexual identity in teen suicides?

R0013491466

Dear Editor, Re: Chris Malette’s column – “An appalling killer of our young people” I am wondering why this column did not mention struggles with sexual identity and coping with social pressures and/or bullying related to that?? Teen suicide in Canada happens on average 500 times a year. The largest percentage of those are related to sexual identity and/or coping with it. And before you claim that this is lumped in with mental health, let me point out that they have removed sexual identification whether it be gay, lesbian or transgendered - from all aspects of the mental health act. Where once it was thought of as illness, it is no longer. If you are going to shout from the roof tops… people wake up, we need to deal with our alarming suicide rate in teens, you need to be shouting about the realities - sexual identity and bullying related to that is one of the major contributors to that concern. I know of three couples in town, who each have a gay/lesbian child. They gush over that one child with me, because they have no concern over being rejected by me because they had a gay or lesbian child. They have not told their friends at church about the one child for fear of being ostracized. They have three children, but only publicly comment on the two. Not talking about something is far

Limo ride caps ‘amazing’ fundraiser By Bill Freeman

worse than talking about the reality of things. Let me ask you, if one of your children came to you tomorrow and stated they were gay/lesbian/transgendered, would you be prepared for that reality? Would your children find you approachable to talk to you about that? Would you have friends you could talk to about that impact on your lives? Or would you hide it from everyone and keep it “within the family” like some sort of disease? I am asking you the hard questions because people don’t think about these things..or talk about them openly. The is a wonderful organization known as PFLAG, in case you ever need to know or need to tell someone of it. It is Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays...PFLAG. They are exactly that.. friends, parents, relatives of those we love that live their lives as gay or lesbian or transgendered individuals. They have chapters all over the world, even locally. (https://www.pflagcanada.ca/ https://www.pflagcanada.ca/ en/index.html). I do hope that we can continue to challenge this trend for all of our children and help to minimize the numbers of these special children lost to this trend. We need to continually stress the issue “that no one dares mention.” Hope this all helps. Will Carmichael Brighton

OPINION

Some lighter fare from the word buffet, this week. Sorry, pardon the punny launch, but we’re talking food today. We all eat it, some more or less than others, especially those among us who are trying to fast, starve and shrink into the holiday season on something as ludicrous as a pre-Christmas diet. Some of us will purge our systems of alcohol for the month of January, also known as Dry January. In the UK, they actually have a fundraiser for cancer research wherein the abstainer swears off the hooch for the month and collects pledge money to do so. The practice brought one British columnist to revulsion, however, and this is how Lucy Hunter-Johnston, of The Independent, sees the practice: “So here we are again in the endless, dismal nightmare of January. We’re all fat, stony broke, and barely on speaking terms with our partners, without even a glimmer of tinsel to keep us cheerful. It’s without doubt the bleakest 31 days of the year, made bleaker still by the smug chorus that invariably greets any offer to get a much-needed round in: ‘Make mine a lime and soda, yeah?’ To which the only suitable response is withering look and a swift brace of shots.” But, I digress. We’re talking about food because, well, it’s my damn column and I like the stuff! Seriously, we all have our favourite foods – be it that gloppy Red Dye #6 infused goo from your local Chinese takeout restaurant

or a nicely marbled steak on the grill. We all, too, have our favourite go-to places for certain foods. Take cheese. I personally prefer Maple Dale for my table and cooking needs as I’m goofy for their aged cheddar, as is my brother in British Columbia who would pay a king’s ransom out there for any cheddar north of five years old. So, when he’s in the area, his bag is usually stuffed with the eight-year-old variety or older and he pays a king’s ransom in baggage fees to lug it back to the Wet Coast. That said, other pals have a thing for Ivanhoe, Empire or Black River. My buddy Rob Cooke’s dad, R.D. had a trucking business that used to pick up cheese rounds at all the local factories (using Rob and his brother Brian as indentured labour) and Cookie can still rhyme off all the little, long-gone cheese factories that used to be found on every third or fourth concession road in these parts. They’re no more, but we ought to consider ourselves blessed that we still have four solid cheese factories from which to get the real goods and we don’t even really realize it until relatives or friends come to visit and they start frothing at the idea of going to a real, honest to goodness cheese factory. When I lived for a time east of Stirling, I used to throw the kids in the car and embark on what we called the Belly Buster Tour for a Saturday morning treat.

Chris Malette curd. Next it was on to World’s Finest Chocolate in town for, what else, chocolate covered anything. Lots of it. From there, we’d wheeze on down to Dooher’s to get the amazing creamfilled doughnuts, breads and cookies for which they’re famous. In the car, ids, because the last stop on the BBT is the Meyersburg Flea Market down Highway 30. Inside is (was??) a deli run by the nicest old Ukrainian fellow who made all of his own sausages and many of the Polish delights I was raised on, such as cabbage rolls and Polish breads. Armed with a half coil of ham kielbasa and some other smoky pork delights (and the kids with a handful each of Polish candies that are handed out by Vlad, the meat meister) we’d head back home knowing it was going to be a delightful week feasting on the yummy treasures of our trek. Everyone, too, has their favourite out of the way restaurants, the greasy spoons we love for their signature dish – be it a plate of liver `n onions or a beautiful bowl of soup and fresh bread or roll on a cold November day. I have a string of them, here in Belleville and the surrounding area, that have come and gone over the years, many still serving up the old favourites. Doesn’t mean they all have to be loveable dumps, mind you. I still appreciate a good steak at Earl & Angelo’s, like nothing more than a decent plate of pasta at Paulo’s or the Parisian delights of Auberge de France or Capers, but the journey to finding these great places to eat is what makes it half the fun. You know, jump in the car and wind your way around – now that the terrorists, er, tourists are largely gone back to The Big Smoke – searching out the mom and pops that make our towns and villages so great. Prince Edward County has been over-the-top hyped to the moon and back as a foodie heaven and you can’t get a reservation at the trendoid hipster haven, The Drake Devonshire, for a month during the fixed price campaign through November. But, you don’t have to do trendy in The County, either. Continued on page 21

Any church that has been around for 200 years must have a story. Belleville’s Bridge Street United Church has dozens of them, many of which were included in a pageant type presentation as part of the congregation’s official 200th anniversary celebrations Saturday. Those were was almost a day-long event including an open house and community fair in the morning, musical demonstrations with the organ, hand bell choir and other instruments at noon and a fullblown presentation about the early circuit riders for the Methodist Church which ultimately became today’s United Church. Participants included Janet Kellough whose series of books about the early circuit riders inspired a dramatic presentation written by Veronica Leonard as a series of vignettes based on historical records and diary entries by early Methodists. Suitably costumed actors including clergy and lay members plus special guests took the parts of various characters.

Grand Champion honey is the bee’s knees for Campbellford’s first-time beekeeper By Sue Dickens

Campbellford – Winning is sweet and in this case even more tasty for Garry Parr and his wife Brianne who returned home from the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair with five awards including Grand Champion of all liquid honey. It’s the bee’s knees as far as they are concerned. Not bad for a newbie beekeeper who took a one-day course offered by the University of Guelph in nearby Port Hope and then bought some bees and set the hives up near a couple of hundred wild sunflowers in the heart of his farm near a spring on the property. “I couldn’t believe winning myself. I was just hoping to get maybe any kind of ribbon,” he said. “I knew the quality up at the Royal was amazing but to get the overall champion is phenomenal.” Parr won not only grand champion of all liquid honey (for Ontario and provinces east) but his honey also won champion of the white liquid honey category; the Lorna Robinson Trophy, It’s the bee’s knees as far as Campbellford’s Garry Parr and his wife Brianne are concerned. These first- (highest number of points in the honey time beekeepers brought home the Grand Champion trophy for all liquid honey won along with four section - 5); the Reserve Premier Exother awards at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair: from left, Garry and Brianne Parr and his sister hibitor Award; and the Dominion and Jennifer Parr. he said. Photo submitted Grimm Award for having top score in

an individual class. “There were three judges and they looked at clarity and moisture and they tasted the honey,” Parr explained. “Moisture is critical. If you harvest too early the moisture is high and the honey will crystallize quicker.” Parr spent months researching beekeeping before getting buzzed about his latest endeavour. He and his wife are the same couple that The Independent featured in 2013 when their 17-year-old mare, Big Sky, whose father is famous Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew and mother is Spilled Beans by another Triple Crown favourite Secretariat, had a foal in March which they named Big News. “Her foal is doing great and will start training this spring as a three-year-old filly,” he commented. But that is a story for another day. When Parr decided to purchase about a half dozen hives from a local beekeeper, he had no idea that it would lead to such success. His attention to details and meticulous research last winter gave him the information he needed. “Our Queen is a Canadian Queen that has already been through a winter. The success of the hives depends a

lot on the Queen bee,” he noted. Parr also learned it’s about spending time with the bees. “I only got stung one time this year. Once they get to know you, it’s fine,” he said. “Never go near the hives if you have a bad day and are tense and never go when it is dark,” he added with a grin. “They know and react.” Parr admits he was more nervous about attending Grand Champions Day at the Royal in Toronto. He had borrowed an observation hive from Liz Corbett who owns Twin Sisters Hive & Honey Products in Stirling. “We got real sunflowers from Caroline’s Organics in Campbellford and 25 loaves of baguettes from Dooher’s and we used them with samples of our honey,” he noted. It was a day of talking to other beekeepers and hearing the comment from seasoned professionals such as, “Do you know how long it takes to achieve this?” His mom Janis Parr, who has a tea room for friends, is already selling the winning honey. “I always liked honey,” said Parr with a big grin. “One of the most import things I learned is if you take care of the bees they’ll take care of you.”

Visiting South America’s Unique, Extraordinary Galapagos Islands

If you’d like to visit a place like no other, with an abundance of unique species and a strange, almost otherworldly raw beauty, then Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands may be exactly the destination that you’re looking for. This fascinating archipelago of volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean, distributed on either side of the Equator, is located almost 1000 km. off the coast of Ecuador. It’s a nature lover’s dream-come-true. I booked my tour with Indus Travels (www.indus.travel/ecuador), for I’d travelled to Peru last year with this same company, and they have a Canadian office in Richmond, BC. I flew from Toronto to San Salvador and then on to Quito, Ecuador’s capital city. Then another flight took me to Baltra Island, located near the centre of the Galapagos Islands, and here I was rather surprised and shocked to discover that this tiny island was much barer and more desolate than I’d expected. It was almost as if I’d stepped onto an uninhabited planet! Many photos that I’d seen of the Galapagos Islands had depicted a rather lush, jungle-like setting, with lots of green ferns and a great variety of trees and flowers, but that’s not what I first encountered at all. However, I was soon to learn that the Galapagos landscape would change very quickly, and I was simply in the wrong place to see what I’d envisioned. Indeed, it wasn’t false advertising at all, for I’d soon encounter what I’d expected. A short ferry ride took me from Baltra to Santa Cruz, and I quickly emerged from a dry area of cacti and desert to lush rainforest and ferns. Later, I would take about a 3-hour speedboat ride to reach Isabela, the largest island in the archipelago, and here I’d see sandy beaches, thriving fruit farms, and plenty of lush greenery. However, here I’d also see the Sierra Negra Volcano, the second largest crater in the world, with its moon-like terrain. Quite the contrasts! It was the variety of unique wildlife, however, that had really drawn me to the Galapagos Islands, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Animals ruled here! After all, this archipelago is a national park, a biological marine preserve, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hiking on the islands that I visited meant staying on the designated paths, for our guide did not let us wander about and disturb the animals or terrain. In fact, we were told not to touch or bother the wildlife at all, or use flash photography, for this was their home and we were merely their guests. However, I was pleas-

antly surprised at just how relaxed the wildlife was as we wandered about. The marine iguanas and sea lions just didn’t seem to care at all, and they merely carried on ‘doing their thing’. The beach at the dock on Isabela Island was a great place to intermingle with these creatures, and I saw beachgoers swimming and sunning with sea lions, pelicans, and marine iguanas. Up-close encounters seemed to be the norm. In fact, it was difficult for us to find benches at the beach, for the sea lions were occupying many of them! My favourite day in the Galapagos included a visit to Flamingo Lagoon, a major reproductive site for flamingos, and a visit by boat to the nearby Tintoreras Islet. This tiny land mass was home to literally thousands of marine iguanas, of all shapes and sizes, and they blended in so well with the volcanic landscape that I had to be very careful where I placed my feet as I walked. They seemed to be everywhere! This was also the best place for viewing Galapagos’ penguins and blue-footed boobies. There were lots of finches, flightless cormorants, crabs, and sea lions here, too. I was even able to get several nice photos of a sea lion at play in a cove! While near this islet, we snorkelled with large sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, penguins, sea lions, and a great variety of fish species. What an experience! The Galapagos Islands first appeared on maps in the late 16th century and were named “Insulae de los Galopegos” (“Islands of the Tortoises”) because of the giant tortoises found here. Certainly another highlight for me was, of course, the viewing of hundreds of these magnificent creatures in their natural environment. This was on Santa Cruz, and if I got into their personal space, they’d let me know by raising their humungous heads and hissing at me! While in the town of Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz, the largest town in the Galapagos, I also visited the Charles Darwin Research Station. After all, Charles Darwin came here to study its endemic species back in the 19th century, and his observations contributed to his theory of evolution by natural selection. Studies are still ongoing at this facility, and it’s a great place to see hatchlings and young

tortoises. Traditionally, the majority of tourists have experienced the Galapagos Islands by cruise ship; however, some of the islands now offer accommodations, and two of the islands have airports (Baltra and San Cristobal), so it’s possible to stay on an is-

land and take day trips throughout the archipelago. The Galapagos Islands were far different than visiting the island paradises that I’ve visited in the Caribbean, for this destination can be both brutally rugged and breathtaking. I also found it to be both unique and extraordinary.

The Good Earth: Books as gardening gifts

What sort of gardening books do gardeners want to read? The answer is quite simple, all of them. If you, Gentle Reader, are purchasing for another gardener then there isn’t too much of a challenge. Simply find the one in your library that you most enjoy, either for entertaining reading or for practical knowledge, and purchase another copy for your giftee. It doesn’t have to be the newest book on the market or

the glossiest or the one with the most pictures; in fact, a well-used copy is likely to be appreciated equally well. If your friend is a new gardener and has yet to acquire a library you might give them two gifts. The first would be, in my opinion, the best and most comprehensive gardening book for us Canadians: Practical Guide to Gardening in Canada published by Readers Digest. Except for the new-

Hey, winter’s coming. Eat up!

est cultivars, there is very little that this weighty tome doesn’t cover. The drawings are clear and easily understood as is the writing, crisp and to the point. The second gift would be a list of the books in your library with a little rating by them. Are they useful? Are they appropriate to our climate? Do the cultural practices and interventions recommended comply with our laws? Did the “entertainment” ones amuse you? As we seasoned hortulans well know, it is surprisingly difficult to pass by a book table at a garden show without taking one of the offerings home. And, as we well-seasoned hortulans know, money spent on books can quickly add up. I just did a quick count of the books I have near my desk, 128, and that would a medium-sized collection for many gardeners. What is very encouraging is that almost one-third of them are Canadian. GR, we have some excellent writers in our country that we should be seeking out and promoting; Art Drysdale, Mark Cullen, Lorraine Johnson, Alison Beck, Donna Dawson, and Doug Green to name a few. Now, after saying that, I believe two of the most important books I have are from an American, a Californian at that, by the name of Thomas Leo Ogren. Sex in the Garden and Allergy-fighting Garden both focus on the correlation between respiratory and allergy troubles and the over-use of “clean” male (pollen producing) cultivars in cityscapes. Tom has developed

a rating system (OPAL) which I use when selecting cultivars for a design. I would like to see the latter book in the working libraries of landscape architects. I have a few go-to reference books that most serious gardeners will also have in their library. Dirr’s of Woody Landscape Plants is the most used. Farrar’s in Canada is the second. You can check the archives of this paper for book reviews. I also have text books that are very difficult to read but they can help me outline a problem and that, in turn, will direct me to the proper expert. I have five books here that I think some readers will enjoy. If you’re interested in the development of one of Canada’s well-known nurseries, Sheridan has published a history of their company to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Ehrenfried Kluckert’s European Garden Design from Classical to Present Day (English translation from original German edition) is a fascinating treatise which traces the history and development of landscape design. When was the last time you read about the Portuguese Baroque period? The photographs are beautiful. Aphid in My Eye, Tom Powell’s story of his and his wife Betty in the orchid business is poignant, witty, elegant and 100 per cent true. Perhaps the most eclectic selection in my library is Hand to Earth, a photographic essay of the landscape sculptor Andy Goldsworthy. His art, created from nature, returns to its

Dan Clost original state through weathering, melting, and decay. This was a gift from daughter Ellyn way back in 2007 and I still find myself picking it up from time to time- in the same manner that I re-visit books about the Group of Seven. <www.abramsbooks.com>. The fifth book is a wee tome entitled Take Time, Reflections for Gentle Reader. It is a selected anthology of The Good Earth gardening columns that presents practical information, observations and even some philosophical musing in easy to read chapters. As the author, I confess I am partial to it and would be pleased to chat with anyone who would like to purchase a copy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Fear of single male refugees unfounded

Dear editor My husband and I have been involved with refugees and new immigrants for our whole married life. In Guelph Vietnamese refugees lived with us for two months, this was followed by a Salvadorian refugee who stayed with us for six weeks. Then came the Kosovo refugees and involvement with the Interfaith Refugee Sponsorship Committee who sponsored and helped families from Ethiopia, DR Congo and Colombia. We recently returned from visiting family in Belgium and had the opportunity to enter a military compound in Sijsele close to Bruges. More than 450 Muslim refugees are housed there. Among the 20 who spoke English and wanted to talk to us there was a young couple expecting their first baby. The rest were men.

All were well educated but 90 per cent were fathers with 1 to 4 children who left the refugee camp and their wife and children behind as after 3 to 4 years in a refugee camp they felt they had to do something than just wait. These men, well educated, took a chance by leaving the camp and their UNHCR number. This is to say that most of the fear of ’single’ men is mostly unfounded. We do believe that families with children are a priority and young children entering the school system are more adaptable and have proven over the years to make good Canadian citizens. The group we talked to is part of a peace project, have a band, and do volunteer work. We look forward to help where help is needed. Tom and Mieke Thorne Belleville Section B - Thursday, November 26, 2015

A year of accomplishments for Quinte Conservation By Jack Evans It’s been a busy year for the region’s natural resources conservation body. Terry Murphy, general manager of Quinte Conservation, reviewed a year of signicant accomplishments as the authority board met for the last time this year Thursday. The list included completion of capital projects, successful power generat-

ing revenues and public education. Capital expenditures included new aluminum floats for the ice control dams at Belleville to replace original cedar logs which are becoming soggy and unworkable, completion of an accessible trail at the Quinte Conservation area’s Potter Creek property on Highway 2, additional funding for the agency’s work for Bay of Quinte Remedial Action program and com-

pletion of a special marsh remediation project on Big Island. The meeting also heard a presentation from Amy Dickens on GIS (geographic information systems) which harness computer program apps to allow not only placement of any specific area, but its geophysical features such as height, water courses etc. Application of such apps on maps is becoming an international

Each League member will be making homemade mac and cheese and selling bowls of the delicious meal. The money raised will go to The Salvation Army’s kettle drive which is now underway. “Rebekah Leach, this year’s Salvation Army kettle campaign coordinator was saying that our event last year raised almost half the money brought in from

their total kettle campaign,” said Woods. On Wednesday, Dec. 2, there will be a challenge called “Stack the Mac” and students are being asked to bring in nonperishable food items and gently-used clothing. “Whoever brings in the most wins prizes,” said Woods. This year the Cold Hands Warm Hearts event will take place on Thursday, Dec. 3 from 3:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. in the parkette on the corner of Bridge Street East and Front Street in Campbellford. Students will be there accepting donations.

As sAntA’s newest helper, I wAnt to gIve you $500 cAsh rebAte to spend however you lIke… Dear Homeowner, It’s true! I’ve just received word from the North Pole that I’ve offcially been named one of Santa’s Helpers. With this special assignment comes the power for me to do something very special for you…. From now until December 31st, I am going to give you an immediate $500 cash rebate* on any new furnace you buy from me. This is cash you can use to pay for holiday gifts, travel, -- whatever you like. Think about this.
