Music Night in Brighton
The music department at East Northumberland Secondary School held its annual Music Night December 11 with close to 200 people in the audience. Among those performing were Razzmajazz’s Quinlan Smith, Margaret Hails and Kelsey Morewood. “It went great,� said music teacher Lynda Tonkin who praised her students for showing up “ready to play.� A new twist was added to this year’s show by having the Brighton All Star Concert Band take part, led by conductor Terry Denyes. Money raised will be used by the department to purchase music, repair instruments or help with busing costs. Photo: John Campbell Please see photos on page 4
Union negotiations moved into public eye By Joyce Cassin
News - Brighton - Brighton municipal workers might have an edge when it comes to negotiations early next year. Councillor John Martinello asked that a closed session item dealing with the municipality’s CUPE collective agreement negotiations be moved into open council on Monday night, and it was approved by the majority of council in a four to three vote. Mayor Mark Walas and councillors John Martinello, Roger McMurray and Mary Tadman were in favour. Municipal staff voted in favour of unionizing in 2011 and negotiated an agreement for the period of Jan. 1, 2012 to Dec. 31, 2014. The municipality has been given notice that negotiations need to begin in the new year for 2015 to 2017. Mayor Mark Walas read aloud an email from Northumberland County CAO Elizabeth Savill, saying the County has provided bargaining assistance to a member municipality in the past. “It is part of the handful of special services we offer upon request to member municipalities as and when time permits,” Savill wrote in the email. “Before committing to a special project, we ask to sit down with
the key municipal representatives to ensure we fully understand the scope and timing of the work, and to confirm expectations on both sides.” Council opted not to move forward with hiring Pesce & Associates, the recommendation from CAO Gayle Frost, until discussions with the County take place. In the information made public, a report from Frost informed council that CUPE will appoint a national representative to negotiate on behalf of the employees and that salaries and benefits in 2015 would cost over $4 million. “Negotiations for the last collective agreement saw changes in the methods used for call ins, on call, standby, and shift premiums, which benefitted management significantly as it eliminated the ability to pyramid benefits,” Frost wrote in her report to council. “The CUPE members were extremely unhappy when they realized what the language in the agreement meant to their income. It is expected that they will try to reverse some of the language that we successfully had removed in the last agreement.” She went on to advise council that work currently done by management could end up costing taxpayers more Please see “Union” on page 3

money because the union will try to exempt non-union employees from doing certain jobs. “This could result in the need to hire additional staff to complete the work that is currently being done by management,� she wrote. “The clauses in the collective agreement will have to be written carefully to protect the interests of the municipality.� “Negotiation mistakes could end up being very costly.� During question period at the end of the meeting, resident David Green asked if it was appropriate for council to have put this information out in the public eye. Walas said that it was.

The high-tech changes are key to creating a new business model the province is putting together for handing out $6.6 billion in social assistance and another $900,000 for drug benefits through 47 service delivery managers, including Northumberland County. The new system, which will be fully in place by 2018, will be “completely different� from what exists now, Darroch said. “It will identify a more effective and efficient process of monitoring social assistance expenses, [and] identify a higher level of accountability,� Darroch said. It will also examine outcomes, to see how the money being spent is benefitting clients, he added. “Are they getting back to work, are they getting the proper services that they require?�

McDonalds gets the nod for 401 site
News - Brighton - An application for site plan approval for a McDonalds restaurant plus a convenience store and gas bar received unanimous support by Brighton council Monday night. Although municipal planner Ken Hurford says that they’re still in negotiations, the zoning is appropriate for the proposal. “We’re very excited about this proposal,” Hurford told council. There are other parties involved in the approval process though. Northumberland County, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, Lower Trent Conservation, and the Ministry of the Environment also have a say. It’s been identified that full signalization is required at the 401 and Cty Rd. 30, and they need more detail on fuel deliveries. Hurford says he likes the site plan and the proposed landscaping “should in fact lead to an attractive site befitting the gateway location.” And as an added bonus, the owners, Ray and Wally Gupta, have committed to installing a notice board in the entrance to highlight the Brighton area and its upcoming event, he said in his report. The next step is for council to approve the execution of a site plan agreement, but Hurford says it’s premature. “The final comments and requirements from the Ministry of Transportation and the County are necessary and will have to be
incorporated into the site plans and the site plan agreement,” Hurford said. The application is for a 3,345 sq. ft. drive-though McDonalds and a Sun-Ray Express convenience store at 2,155 sq. ft. plus the Shell gas bar with ten gas pumps. According to a presentation, the 24-hour McDonalds would employ between 30 and 40 staff. The Guptas say they have been vigorous in cleaning up contaminants on the site and they’re providing upgraded underground tanks, septic system, water well, and grading which supports the commercial development objectives. Council was asked to support the project without all final approvals. Walas asked CAO Gayle Frost for direction. “It’s council decision. What I said is you can approve it in principle, Frost said. “I question the legality of approving a project and a site plan that you haven’t seen.” Although staff are in possession of the site plan, the information was not brought to council due to the outstanding clearances from the County and MTO. Hurford said the MTO have some serious concerns and he couldn’t recommend approval when all the documentation isn’t on the table. “I don’t know how I can approve something that an outside agency comes up with because I don’t know what they are,” Hurford told council.

The Guptas were on the agenda as a delegation, but then asked for final approval to move forward. Councillor Roger McMurray asked that council’s procedural bylaw be waived so council could deal with the matter. The applicants have already cleaned up the site, and want final approval. Canta Group Ltd. planning director, Milton Zarkovich, told council they need something to say they could go ahead, and that they promise to follow any and all conditions that the County and MTO impose. Martinello put a motion on the floor to approve it in principle, and Councillor Brian Ostrander suggested council make a motion to support the development rather than the unseen site plan agreement. “As long as council is not on the hook for anything, and staff is not on the hook for anything, we’re on the hook for everything, but we want something a little more positive,” Zarkovich said. “I don’t want to sidetrack this thing, but I don’t understand why common sense doesn’t prevail.” “I think you’re hearing really loud and clear from this council that we’re really supportive and appreciative of what you’re doing for the community,” Walas said. “We really look forward to this moving at lightning speed … and getting this site plan in front of us.” A recorded vote was called and the vote was unanimous in support of the development. Councillor Brian Ostrander recommended that council supports the development subject to conditions as previously set out.

News - Quinte West - For seniors living alone, Christmas can be the loneliest time of the year. “There are a lot of seniors struggling,” said Trenton Club 105 president Harold Taylor. “This is an opportunity for them to come out.” The free Seniors Christmas Dinner will be on Saturday, December 20, from 12 to 3 p.m. Kitchen volunteers working with co-ordinator Carolyn Stevenson will prepare a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings including homemade dessert. “The ladies do all the baking,” Harold says. The club raises funds to pay the bills for Club 105 and often gets donations from the community for their special Christmas dinner. However, times have been hard. “We used to get a lot of donations, but now, it is rough and tough,” he said. Last year the club had over 130 people come out for the free dinner. Tickets have to be picked
up ahead of time at 61 Bay Street and they must be for seniors living alone. “That includes anyone over 50,” Harold adds. “We don’t use 65 as the age of seniors here anymore. If they look old, they can come in and get a free ticket!” He said the main thing is that they live alone and really need this fellowship with others at this difficult time of year. “Hopefully, some of the town councillors will come out to serve again this year,” Harold adds. “We also get some firefighters and OPP and community policing. It makes a great day!” He said some people come in, eat and go home to make room for others, but they are welcome to stay. Liz Tilden has volunteered to bring her Karaoke machine to play carols during dinner. Trenton Club 105 is busy all year round and invites seniors to come out and enjoy the activities and camaraderie of the club. “There are lots of activities,” Harold says. “But even if they don’t want to participate they
can just come in and have a coffee. It’s like a drop-in centre.” He said one 93-year-old lady who lives alone gets picked up at home by some members every Thursday to join the club in Shuffleboard. “She looks forward to Thursday,” he said. “She has nothing else to do.” An 81-year-old member makes posters and updates the big sign by the bridge for activities. His wife has Alzheimer’s and lives in a nursing home. The quilting group raffles off a quilt every year to help raise funds for local charities such as Salvation Army, Three Oaks, Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation and minor sports. The club also has crafts sales and monthly dinners to help raise funds. Harold has a Facebook page with pictures and updates on activities at the club. He is just recovering from surgery but plans to attend the Seniors Christmas dinner. He is also this year’s president of the Interservice Club.

Nothing needed again this year
Torture and the CIA: Time to move on?
Editorial - When somebody says it is time to move on, it means there is something deeply embarrassing that they don’t want to discuss in public. President Barack Obama said that about the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report, published on Tuesday, about the Central Intelligence Agency’s use of torture in the years after 9/11. He put the best face on it after Senator Dianne Feinstein’s committee released the 528-page report anyway, talking about how “part of what sets us [Americans] apart is that when we do something wrong, we acknowledge it.” But as recently as Friday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged Feinstein not to release the report now on the grounds that the “timing” was wrong. When would it be right, then? Feinstein ignored him because she knew (as did he) that if the report was not put out now, it never would be. Next month a new Congress will take office, and the majority on the new Senate Intelligence Committee will be Republicans. They would certainly make sure that it never sees the light of day. But there is one Republican Senator, at least, who thinks differently. John McCain, who ran against Obama in the 2008 presidential election, said bluntly that torture “rarely yields credible information. What might come as a surprise, not just to our enemies, but to many Americans, is how little these practices did to aid our efforts to bring 9/11 culprits to justice and to find and prevent terrorist attacks today and tomorrow.” McCain was severely tortured himself while a prisoner-of-war in North Vietnam in 1968, and eventually made an anti-American propaganda “confession.” As he later said, “I had learned what we all learned over there: every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine.” But then, he knows more about this subject than any other American politician, and probably more than any CIA torturer. They were never at the receiving end. Even McCain, however, confined himself to saying that torture was not a useful instrument of American policy. He avoided talking about the more important fact that it is also a grave crime under international law, because that would mean admitting that senior officials in former president George W. Bush’s Republican administrations who authorised the torture in 2002-2006— possibly even including Bush himself—should face prosecution.

Brighton Independent P.O. Box 25009, Belleville, ON K8P 5E0 250 Sidney Street Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747 Published weekly by:
Almost every senior American politician will avoid talking about that. The debate in the United States will be between those who insist that the waterboarding, regular beatings, “stress positions,” ice baths, sleep deprivation, “rectal feeding,” and other torture techniques used on captives in the CIA’s “black sites” yielded useful information and saved American lives, and those who say that it was all pointless and useless. The Senate committee’s report provides fuel for this debate, examining twenty cases of counterterrorism “successes” achieved by torture that the CIA has used to justify its actions. Even now, CIA Director John Brennan defends the torture, claiming that “the intelligence gained from the program was critical to our understanding of al-Qaeda.” But the committee concludes that not one case produced unique or otherwise unavailable intelligence. But this is all beside the point. The law doesn’t say that torture is a crime unless it produces useful intelligence, any more than it says that murder is a crime unless it is profitable. It simply says that torture is a crime, always and in any circumstances. As it should. The American Civil Liberties Union, to its credit, says the attorney general should appoint a special prosecutor to conduct “an independent and complete investigation of Bush administration officials who created, approved, carried out and covered up the torture program. In our system, no one should be above the law, yet only a handful of mainly low-level personnel have been criminally prosecuted for abuse. That is a scandal.” But the discussion about punishing the people who committed these crimes will mostly be conducted outside the United States, and it won’t be conducted by governments. The several dozen American allies that were accomplices in the CIA’s “Rendition, Detention and Interrogation” program, have all exercised their right to have information about their collaboration removed from the report. The debate will therefore have to take place in the media and in the international organisations. United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism Ben Emmerson, for example, said in Geneva that senior officials from the Bush administration who planned and sanctioned these crimes must be prosecuted, as well as CIA and U.S. government officials responsible for torture such as waterboarding. “As a matter of international law,” Emmerson said, “the U.S. is legally obliged to bring those responsible to justice.” Well, yes, but you would be wise not to hold your breath while waiting for this to happen. So far, only one former CIA official, John Kyriakou, has been jailed in connection with the torture program—and he was prosecuted for confirming to reporters that the CIA was waterboarding prisoner.

By Terry Bush Editorial - So once again, we’re at the time of year when my wife Mare says, “What do you want for Christmas?” And once again, I’m at a loss. I’ve come to an age when almost all of my needs have been met. I don’t really want anything. I really don’t need anything. It appears I’ve finally become my parents, who have been trying to liquidate what they no longer require for the past decade or two. The past few years have been pretty easy ones. When the annual question arises, I respond, “A trip to some far off land.” Usually I’ve already booked and paid for the tickets when the question is asked so it’s something we’re already looking forward to. Throw in a couple pairs of socks, a box of Turtles, a nice meal and call it Christmas. This year, we decided the only province we haven’t visited, Newfoundland, would do nicely for next year’s trip but leaving in January, February or March might not be prudent. The old hockey knees are getting pretty creaky and Gros Morne in the winter would be a daunting task so we’ll settle for a summer trip. Too far off to consider as a Christmas present though. So all I’ve come up with this year to help her out is the suggestion that a couple of bungee cords might be welcome sometime in the future. That and putting a bow on the pressure washer that’s still in the box in the garage. I bought that on sale back in November. There was something else I mentioned to Mare as well but I’ve long since forgotten what it was. Years ago, more memory for the computer would have been a nice Christmas present. Now it’s more memory for my brain. What I’d really like for Christmas is something that unfortunately my dear wife can’t give me. Top of that list would be retirement with a rewarding part-time job so I wouldn’t have to quit working cold turkey. But we aren’t there yet so that’s out of the question unless she can pick the winning lottery numbers. Most of my other wants and wishes are probably impossible to achieve. One thing I’d really like to see is an end to drivers who pass on the shoulder because they’re in so much of a hurry that a car length means the difference between a good day and a terrible day. This would also apply to those folks who feel they’re entitled to fly past me knowing full well that their lane is about to end

but feel cutting in front of the rest of us is a God-given right. One of my biggest Christmas wishes is that I never have to see another toilet paper commercial on television again. I don’t know about the rest of you but for me there’s something really wrong with summoning up images of cats, birds or bears when all you really want to do is look after number two. Most of us familiar with life in the country or camping have at one time or other been forced to search for a suitable leaf or bit of moss or something to that effect. Vegetable matter is the ticket … not animal tissue. Even when confronted with a hole in the ground, bucket of water and no toilet paper in our travels to foreign lands, this thought has never crossed my mind. “Hmmm, I really wish I had a cute, soft white kitten or two along with me. Even a swan would do in a pinch.” Bad taste has no boundaries in today’s world of advertising hence we have <enjoythego. ca> just in case you didn’t get a large enough dose of dancing bears with clean butts on TV. Those television images were enough for this guy. I’ll never look at an airport customs officer waving a wand over my rear end the same way again. Back to my other Christmas wishes. I wish I knew the exact times, dates and channels Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was going to be on television in December. Mare loves the show and has enjoyed it probably every year since she was five years old. It’s a Christmas tradition at our place and I do my best to make sure she sees it. I don’t want to know when it’s on for Mare’s sake because this is my list. I want to know my options because I don’t want to be sitting watching Rudolph on Saturday night when I could be watching hockey or the UFC. If Rudolph will be on at a later date, so be it. Much as I enjoy Rudolph and the childish joy on Mare’s face, 50 years of Bumble is getting to be too much for me. I’d really like to skip a year. My other wish that unfortunately Mare can’t fill is some old time peace on earth and goodwill to men. Then again, there may be some hope for the second part of that old saying. If I’ve aced her Christmas gift this year, that means there should be enough goodwill coming my way that Mare won’t mind having our personal foibles in print for another year … I hope.

By John Campbell
News - Northumberland - After years of sticking to 2.5 per cent increases in its annual levy, Northumberland County should consider introducing a dedicated capital levy to help pay for major work on its infrastructure. Director of finance Jennifer Moore put forward that recommendation in an overview of the 2015 draft budget she presented to county council December 10. The county adopted annual levy in-

creases of 2.5 per cent in 2010 as part of a ten-year plan to stabilize its draw on local tax dollars at a rate slightly higher than inflation. It also allowed the county to “make some headway” in closing the gap that had developed over the previous decade between what was being levied and the amount that should have been set in taxes to cover costs downloaded by the province. The county will need to “ramp up” its capital budget in future to begin addressing its manifold infrastructure needs, 2ND NOW UNTIL JAN

Dedicated capital levy recommended for the county Moore said. An asset management plan approved by council earlier this year estimated Northumberland should be spending $27.4 million a year on infrastructure repairs and replacements. The $100.4 million budget proposed for 2015 allocates $16.5 million for capital expenditures. “We’re putting more money into capital each and every year but … we’re still falling behind,” Moore said, and “not able to chip away” at what needs to be done according to the asset management plan. Moore said Northumberland is not alone in having an infrastructure deficit. While it will need to spend $1 billion to close the gap over the next 50 to 60 years, eastern Ontario should spend slightly more than that each year alone to maintain and upgrade its infrastructure, she pointed out. The county’s financial indicators show “really a good story,” said Moore, who noted there has been a “phenomenal turnaround” in its reserves, which
Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription
are projected to continue to grow over the next ten years, with future contributions “aligned to priorities” identified in the asset management plan. The county’s debt has grown stable but Moore expressed concerns that the province has recently indicated it is “expecting municipalities to take out more debt in order to meet their infrastructure needs. “We don’t want to make poor decisions” that will cause future generations to spend money on “repaying debt rather than being able to address the needs of the day,” Moore said. “So it’s going to be a difficult challenge.” Staff began working on the budget in July. Council will begin formal discussion of the budget at its January meeting when members will be able to ask for additional information or request changes. Moore said staff “really are pushing the schedule a little” for early adoption of the budget because going out for tenders early in the season produces “much, much better pricing” for projects in a competitive market. Moore forecast prices for fuel, utilities, asphalt and cement will stabilize next year, as will provincial subsidies, but she predicted there will be a drop in waste and provincial offences revenues. The county will also take on additional costs for land use planning, the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre, septic system inspections, remediation of the Eagleson landfill site near Cobourg, and the first wave of initiatives from the waste management master plan.
LETTER
Our recklessly short-sighted federal government
Dear Editor, Just received an update from our federal MP, Rick Norlock, outlining the so-called benefits his Conservative government has bestowed upon us citizens. Always conspicuous by its absence, however, is any reference to environmental protection, upon which all economic benefits are inextricably and utterly dependent. But this is hardly surprising, since it is his Conservative government that pulled out of the Kyoto Accord, dismantled the National Round Table On the Economy and Environment, gutted Canada’s Environmental Assessment Act, Species At Risk Act, Fisheries Act, Navigable Waters Protection Act,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, It is so good to know that we are the “Most Patriotic Riding.” Way to go Prince Edward-Hastings. However, I would like to add some perspective on Mr. Kramp’s letter on the first page of the flyer. 1) Mr. Kramp believes Canada has benefited greatly from our (his) Conservative Government. I would like to point out that only 35 per cent of the voters actually voted for the Conservatives, yet this government routinely ignores the Liberal and NDP members of parliament, effectively ignoring 65 per cent of the electorate. This is only one example of many where this Conservative government is undermining democracy. I urge all voters in the upcoming election in 2015 to put on their critical thinking caps and vote for our hard-earned democracy by not voting Conservative. 2) Mr. Kramp refers to Canada having the soundest economy in the world, as if his government achieved this on their own. Actually several previous Liberal governments maintained balanced budgets with Paul Martin as minister of finance, and indeed left the Conservatives with a $15-billion surplus that they proceeded to squander.
Also, all voters preparing for the 2015 election, please pause to focus on at what great cost the Conservatives have achieved their balanced budget that Mr. Kramp is so proud of. It was achieved at the expense of our veterans returning from war, at the expense of Canada’s research and scientific community, at the expense of healthcare and other transfer of payments to provinces, transfers that have not kept pace with expenses, at the expense of numerous social programs including the CBC, at the expense of the aboriginal community. This Conservative government has shown that they are intent on decimating all programs that Canadians hold dear and that define us as Canadian. This is one more important reason for all voters to reject Conservative candidates at the upcoming election. 3) Mr. Kramp claims the Conservative government has brought in new legislation to improve the lives of our veterans. This after closing several offices across Canada, that veterans went to for assistance. Why don’t the veterans know how their lives are being improved? Listen to the nightly news everyone who will be voting in 2015. Then you will know how the veterans feel about how well their needs are being
met. Any Conservative politician that tries to portray a rosy picture for our veterans is in my opinion being untruthful. 4) Mr. Kramp insinuates that the Liberals and NDP would not have the respect on the world stage that the Conservative government has. I should hope not. Canada has no respect among the numerous countries trying to do something about the deteriorating environment. Canada has little respect among most nations for its unilateral support for Israel in the Middle East, rather than taking the balanced approach the all previous governments have taken, including previous Conservative governments. I urge all those who will be voting in the 2015 election to do their homework, do the critical thinking necessary, and do not be fooled by the “propaganda” of the present government. Stephen Harper and Conservative MPs think they will win the next election because they believe you are not paying attention and just don’t care. I believe you do care; you care about democracy; you do not want a virtual dictatorship; you do care about your neighbours. Thank You J.W. Mouck, Stirling
Our short-sighted government

closed vitally important environmental research facilities such as Experimental Lakes Area, muzzled scientists and labelled anyone who is conscientiously concerned about the welfare of our planetary ecosystem as a “radical” and “enemy” of the Conservative government. Could anything be more unbalanced, recklessly short-sighted and opposed to the health and
safety of Canada’s citizenry— present and future? Our country’s sustainable ecological and economic viability is at stake. For without a relatively stable climate and healthy environment, the economy is inevitably bound for bankruptcy. Apparently Conservatives have never heard of Chernobyl, Love Canal or even Canada’s own Grassy Narrows environ-
mental catastrophes. Yet these are only playful hints of what is possible if Canada’s Conservative government continues to neglect what is of utmost importance, environmental protection. When it comes to building Canada’s economy, the stone the Conservatives rejected indeed turns out to be the corner. Rick Fairman, Quinte West

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Moving on past the BCTC

I attended the meeting and asked to make a comment during the citizen comment window. Many

My understanding of the word has changed drastically since my incident. Previously, community meant a place, where I was born or lived. After going through this ordeal, and seeing the generosity of family, friends & businesses, I now see that community means a whole lot more! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a group of people with common interests, goals, and that generally care for one another. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to thank the Gosport, Brighton, Trenton and surrounding communities enough for their generosity at the party. I would like to thank the individuals who donated prizes & gifts for the raffles. And finally I would like to thank the committee who put the party together. I appreciate all that you have done for me and hope that someday, I can repay your generosity in some way or another.

Dear Editor, According to the report in your December 11 edition, Mayor Mark Walas spoke at the December 5 Brighton and Cramahe Chamber of Commerce â&#x20AC;&#x153;General Meeting and Mayors Breakfastâ&#x20AC;? and mentioned the Brighton Creative Trade Centre as one of Brightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic development hopes. Later that same day he called a special meeting for the following Tuesday (December 9) during which the project was abruptly terminated in spite of passionate pleas by over a dozen Brighton business owners and several other citizens. During the whole meeting not one councillor asked a question of staff in spite of their obvious confusion about what exactly the previous council had approved. Only a very few citizens spoke against the BCTC and all complained of excessive cost, referring (as did some councillors) to the Tenzing report and the preliminary business plan which, as the CAO later pointed out, were not relevant; the only issue on the table was whether to appoint an advisory committee to review these documents, consult with the public and come up with a viable plan. The cost for this work would have

I, for one, would certainly welcome the opportunity to share my ideas, my knowledge and expertise with anyone who cares to ask. As I walked in my neighborhood asking people to sign the petition, I was surprised by how little they actually knew about BCTC. Democracy is a two-way street. Elected officials must govern in the open and citizens must pay attention to what is going on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to put the blame and burden on City Hall. A man who died tragically on November 22, 1963 once said â&#x20AC;&#x153;ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.â&#x20AC;? There is a new council in town. This is an opportune time to ask the question in such a way. Jean-Guy Sauriol, Brighton
been minimal. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the only one who is wondering what happened, why the change of heart that fateful Friday morning? One clue is that several of the more vocal councillors, notably Councillor Martinello spoke of receiving complaints from Brighton citizens which leads me to wonder who these people are, how many of them are there and why they are not going on the public record? Another clue is the fate of an attempt by Councillor Ostrander (supported by Councillor Vink) to focus on the issue of appointing a committee instead of focusing on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;paper tigerâ&#x20AC;? of the potential cost. This suggestion was roundly deflected by Councillor Martinello, who introduced a motion effectively halting discussion of the more conciliatory approach. He used a similar tactic when Councillor Baker proposed that the motion be modified to allow staff to support a citizen volunteer committee. Is this the story of how our new council will lead our fair community? We live in interesting times. Dave Cutler, Brighton

a lack of knowledge on the issue. Council turned down the BCTC by a vote of 5 - 2. In my mind, there is no doubt that this is what a majority of citizens wanted. On the surface, the BCTC appears to be a divisive issue, polarizing the reactions of the business community and the general public. It does not have to be. A lot of time and effort have been devoted to this idea over the last year. The business community has an opportunity to lead and contribute towards its own success. It must use the momentum the BCTC created to its advantage, despite the fact that it cannot be publicly funded by Brightonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxpayers. Many residents of Brighton are successful business owners who came here from the big city to enjoy a healthier lifestyle. Their knowledge and expertise should be tapped.

other citizens did, a total of 15. Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comments came mostly from representatives of the business community in favour of moving forward with the BCTC. When it was my time to speak, I realized I was the first one asking council to curb everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm for such expensive project. Fortunately, I was not speaking solely on my behalf. I had with me a petition signed by 120 residents of Brighton. The response to the petition I decided to circulate within 24 hours of the special meeting was overwhelming. It is because of the help from friendly acquaintances that I was able to secure so many signatures. Personally, I met 28 people. 26 accepted to sign the petition. The other two were not necessarily in favour of the BCTC. They preferred to abstain for

Dog killed in animal trap By Richard Turtle
News - Stirling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The death of a household pet caught in a trap has prompted local police to caution dog owners against letting their animals roam freely. Stirling-Rawdon Police Chief Dario Cecchin says police responded to a report on the afternoon of December 11, that a dog had died as a result of injuries inflicted by a conibear trap. Conibear traps are designed to be lethal and are manufactured for animals of various sizes. Cecchin says the trap was located along the Heritage Trail north of the village and â&#x20AC;&#x153;not in a built up area.â&#x20AC;? The mid-sized dog had gone off the trail by about 30 feet when its head became caught in the trap, he says, and it was impossible to save the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. The matter was handed over to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry for further investigation, Cecchin says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Striling-Rawdon Police would like to remind residents that there is a bylaw requiring dogs be on leash at all times in public places. Keeping dogs on leash will keep them safe from traps, predators, and from becoming lost. Detailed information on trapping laws is available on the ministry website.

News - Brighton - “Council is so anxious to distance themselves from decisions made by the previous council that they’re throwing out the baby with the bath water,” said volunteer member of the Brighton Heritage Advisory and Downtown Revitalization committees, Dave Cutler. “And completely abdicating economic development.” Cutler announced his resignation after the Tuesday night council meeting where council put the brakes on the concept of a Brighton Creative Trade Centre that would have incorporated a new public library. “I take this step reluctantly after serving on the Heritage Advisory Committee for six years, but the experience of attending your December 9 meeting to witness the cancelling of the BCTC project with barely two days’ notice to the community, without the next step of public consultation that was part of the plan, and without the benefit of a presenta-
tion from your professional staff, leads me to conclude that your approach to volunteer participation is at odds with my values as a volunteer,” Cutler wrote to council. He said the local entrepreneurs have been working together to bring new business to Brighton and have spent a lot of time and effort on this project, only to be dismissed by council.
morning. “I’m sure not going to put any more time into it.” Cutler said that all the statements made by the five council members in favour of stopping the project in its tracks, namely, Mayor Mark Walas and Councillors John Martinello, Mary Tadman, Roger McMurray and Steve Baker, were based on a false premise. “They based their comments on a premise that the entire project would go forward, when it was only to form “They based their an advisory committee to find ways it could work,” Cutler comments on a said. “Not the glorious scheme premise that the the consultant showed us.” He suggested the project entire project would could have begun as a small go forward, when it business incubator rather than the 12,000-square-foot plan the was only to form an consultant proposed. This type comment could have been advisory committee of made during a public meeting to find ways it could when the proposal could have been presented to let the public work.” know what the business community is working on. “It’s absolutely disgusting,” Finding funding for a new Please see “Council” on page 14 he said in an interview Friday

Entertainment - Belleville - Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Dalai Lama are among those whose words of peace will be featured in a concert on Saturday, January 10, at 7:30 p.m. at Bridge Street United Church in Belleville. The Command Performance Choir will be performing Karl Jenkinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Peacemakers as a fund raiser for Amnesty International. The Prince Edward County-based choir, with soloist Alison Brant, is conducted by Moira Nikander-Forrester with accompaniment by pianist Terry Head. Jenkins composed The Peacemakers in 2011 in dedication to all who have lost their lives to war and, in particular, to innocent civilians. The 17 pieces in the work musically reflect the cultural and geographic origins of the featured peacemakers. Jenkins is among the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most performed living classical composers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This work is a perfect fit for Amnesty International,â&#x20AC;? says Connie Gallupe, chair of Amnesty International Group 111 Belleville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideal for January, as we make our New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions.

16 Brighton Independent - Thursday, December 18, 2014
By Joyce Cassin
Council nixes Creative Trade Centre who voted against dismantling the project, agreed. “I don’t want to see us just table this concept,” she said. “A lot of time has been put into it.” She added that there are a lot of different needs in the community, not just infrastructure. Most of the local business owners left council chambers before question period, defeated by the new council’s lack of interest in the business community. “They cut us off at the knees because now we can’t even talk to municipal staff,” said Mrs. B’s owner, Lorie Boychuck, on Wednesday morning. “They are staff we pay for, so that’s what made us so mad.” Boychuck said she attended the special meeting after working a 12-hour day and she and other business owners don’t have the time to put into bringing the BCTC into reality. Martinello said the business owners should bring it on themselves to move the project forward. She is upset that there was no room for negotiations, even after Ostrander brought that suggestion up. “I’ve been working on this since last November/December when we first met with Gary Lintern of the Tenzing group,” Boychuk said. “The worst part of this, is that we’ve been shut off from municipal staff. Many people in favour of moving forward with the concept said it is a way to attract business to Brighton and to keep our young people here, although most agree the concept of the centre is a little grandiose. And that’s what the advisory committee was going to be set up to determine.
CHEER FARMS 365 Main St., Brighton
Economic Development Officer Elisha Purchase first pitched the idea to council in the summer of 2013, and has worked closely with local business people and Tenzing to bring the concept of a BCTC to council. Walas said he was supportive of the concept, and voted in favour of forming an advisory committee that was supposed to look into its feasibility when the matter came to council in October. On Tuesday night, he said the only reason he voted in favour at the October meeting was because he didn’t want to end the tenure of the previous council on a four-to-three vote. Purchase has also been involved in the downtown revitalization efforts as well as the expansion of the industrial park … all in the hopes of attracting business, industrial and commercial taxes to Brighton that would lessen the tax burden on residents. Boychuck said she was hopeful when Walas asked Martinello to moderate his motion to cut all ties to business, but “felt disrespected as a business person” when he was unsuccessful. Resident David Green said he fully supports the idea and fears Brighton will be usurped by neighbouring communities. “A library and the BCTC is a win, win,” he said. He added that they need to further the cause, especially as there is no cost to have an advisory committee look at the matter further. Councillor Steve Baker said
the previous council did the taxpayers a disservice by approving the formation of an advisory committee in October, although he concedes that there could be a place for such a cen-
tre in the future. “There is work for a committee to do,” said Walas. “A committee outside of council.” In the end, the matter was taken out of the public’s hands
by council quashing it before it had a chance to go to a public meeting. “I think you’ve cut your noses off to spite your faces,” volunteer Peter Alker told council.
We put you to work.

News - Brighton - The Brighton Creative Trade Centre has been shot down by council after lengthy debate and much public support. If it’s to have a chance, Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA) and Chamber of Commerce members need to unite to move forward with the project, according to Mayor Mark Walas. And that’s exactly what Councillor Brian Ostrander recommended after being on the losing end of a five-to-two recorded vote to continue with an advisory committee to look into the feasibility of the BCTC. Out of 15 citizen comments at the beginning of the Tuesday, December 9, meeting, 14 were in support of moving forward with the project that would see the public library and an artisan business incubator form a partnership under one roof. But that didn’t sway Walas and Councillors John Martinello, Mary Tadman, Roger McMurray, and Steve Baker. Martinello put a motion on the floor, seconded by McMurray, to stop all spending, work and all other activity relating to the Brighton Creative Trade Centre. There was a repeated theme by those opposed to the BCTC … other priorities such as filling the expanded industrial park, redoing roads such as Young Street, and investigating the wastewater treatment facility issues. Councillor Brian Ostrander said this is an opportunity to “migrate our mostly residential tax base … by attracting business.” “This can not be an either or, it has to be both,” Ostrander said. And Councillor Laura Vink,

Toys for Tickets down this year from online tickets By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West - The Toys for Tickets program has gleaned a few toys for the Kinsmen Toy Drive this year. People who got parking tickets in November had the option to buy a toy instead. “Our toy drive is down this year because some people chose to pay online,” co-chair Bob Mitts said. (Co-chairs are Ed and Charlene Newbery.) Parking enforcement officer Amanda Cummins noted that if people paid online the revenue goes directly into city coffers
and cannot be designated to the toy drive. This is the first year people could pay their parking tickets online. However, Mitts said they had 35 locations for toy barrels throughout the city and also picked up $3,500 from an auction at Trenton High School. The toys are being stored at the Lions Hall and will be distributed on Saturday, December 20. People had to register with the Salvation Army to be on the list for toys for their children. All the toys are bagged and desig-
nated to families according to the ages of their children. “We have toys appropriate to ages infant to 12,” Mitts said. The distribution will involve several volunteers from the club as well as three new councillors. The month of December parking meters in downtown Trenton are now signed with donations for Food for Learning. Any money put in the meters goes to helping children get a good breakfast or snack at school.
New for 2015! Effective ff January 1st, 2015 the Seymour
Bob Mitts, Amanda Cummins and Mayor Jim Harrison stand with toys collected from the city’s Toys for Tickets program. Photo: Kate Everson

I decided to list my house above the recommended price because I want/need to get more out of it Statistics show that overpricing a house is ultimately detrimental to a successful sale. When a house enters the market at an inflated price, a potential Buyer will compare it to other houses in that higher price range; these will typically have more to offer, making the overpriced house seem quite lacking in comparison. It is not uncommon for overpriced houses to stay on the market a long time, go through successive price reductions and eventually sell below their market value, with a double loss of both money and time for the Seller. Common reasons for a Seller to overprice include among others holding a high mortgage (perhaps as a result of refinancing), a divorce situation, moving to a more expensive market, incurring expensive renovations or unfortunately being poorly advised. As we have seen in the previous series of Real Estate tips, the Market Value of a house is determined by the price of similar homes sold recently in the same area; this information tells you what previous Buyers have actually paid for houses similar to your own. Paying attention to this is critical in helping you achieve your goal of selling your home quickly, for the highest possible price, and moving on to the next step of your life.

Cramahe mayor acclaimed warden of Northumberland County News - Cobourg - Cramahe Township Mayor Marc Coombs was acclaimed warden of Northumberland County December 10 at the inaugural meeting of the new council, which included members of Alderville First Nation taking part in the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events for the first time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of Alderville on this historic day,â&#x20AC;? Chief Jim Bob Marsden told the packed council chambers, moments before presenting a flag to CAO Elizabeth Savill which will be raised with the other flags at the county building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It represents the relationship we have with the county and a unified approach as we work on common issues together,â&#x20AC;? he said. Alderville Councillor Julie Bothwell then conducted a smudging ceremony in which she lit the four â&#x20AC;&#x153;sacred medicinesâ&#x20AC;? of her peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;tobacco, sweet grass, sage and cedarâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and walked in a circle, inviting members of county council and the gallery to join in â&#x20AC;&#x153;cleansingâ&#x20AC;? themselves, by pulling the â&#x20AC;&#x153;healing powersâ&#x20AC;? of the smoke over the head and body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we smudge,â&#x20AC;? she explained, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;a commitment to one another that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here for goodness.â&#x20AC;? Coombs, who has served on county council for eight years, said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;will continue to push for collaboration and co-operation between municipalities and between the lower tier municipalities and the county.â&#x20AC;? He said it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely imperative that we do this, it certainly is for Cramahe Township.â&#x20AC;? Coombs added the process of looking at the sharing of services, equipment, people and ideas will also continue. â&#x20AC;¨â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be stronger for it in the end,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;the future looks bright.â&#x20AC;? Coombs said he became â&#x20AC;&#x153;a true believer in the strength of collaboration and working together for the common goodâ&#x20AC;? while serving as a volunteer with the non-profit Apple Route marketing group for more than ten years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Apple Route received both national and international coverage, something no single business who was a member would have been able to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. Coombs worked with numerous small business owners across Northumberland as well as tourism and economic development people in every community. It gave him â&#x20AC;&#x153;a unique perspective on the power of working together and how powerful that could become if everyone was pulling together in the same direction.â&#x20AC;? Coombs was nominated by Hamilton Township Mayor Mark Lovshin and Brighton Mayor Mark Walas.
Lovshin said his colleagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong leadership qualitiesâ&#x20AC;? made him â&#x20AC;&#x153;a great choice to workâ&#x20AC;? with council, staff and the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very lucky to have Marc take on the duties of the next warden.â&#x20AC;? Coombs is the seventh mayor or reeve from Cramahe Township and Colborne to be chosen warden since Northumberland County was formed in 1974. Three of them were present for his swearing-in: Doug Galt, George Boycott and Jim Williams. Each were invited by Coombs to say a few words. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing more important â&#x20AC;Ś than to function as a team,â&#x20AC;? Galt commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strife within councils thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much time [spent] fighting and not enough time spent getting on with things and making [them] happening. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in for an excellent year with
Marc in the chair.â&#x20AC;? Williams echoed that sentiment in his remarks, saying the county â&#x20AC;&#x153;will progress under his leadership.â&#x20AC;? County council welcomed two new members, Mayor Bob Sanderson (Port Hope) and Mayor John Logel (Alnwick-Haldimand). (Top right) Acclaimed warden of Northumberland County at the new councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural meeting December 10, Cramahe Township Mayor Marc Coombs vowed to continue the push for â&#x20AC;&#x153;collaboration and cooperationâ&#x20AC;? between the county and its seven member municipalities. (Right) Alderville First Nation Chief Jim Bob Marsden presented Northumberland County CAO Elizabeth Savill with a flag during â&#x20AC;&#x153;a historic dayâ&#x20AC;? that marked the first time First Nation members took part in an inaugural meeting of county council.

Fire on Johnstown Road devastates family of six
Fire devastated a home on Johnstown Road on Friday afternoon, December 12. This is all that was left on Saturday. Photo: Kate Everson By Kate Everson
News - Quinte West - This wasn’t the way Debbie and Bob Sills wanted to spend Christmas. A fire destroyed their home on Johnstown Road on Friday afternoon. They have five children from age four to 20. “I just had the presents all wrapped and under the tree,” said Debbie on
Saturday at what remained of their house. “Now we have to start all over again.” Fire ripped through the house and was fought by firefighters for seven hours but could not be saved. “They had to get water from the hydrants down Johnstown Road, then across the river because they couldn’t

“It’s tragic, especially this time of year,” Whelan said. Friends and family came to visit Debbie and Bob throughout Saturday, giving their support. Although the house was insured, it will take a while to start rebuilding. They have been in that location for nine years. Both were working at the time of the fire. Only their daughter, Lindsay, 15, was in the house. She had just arrived home from school at Bayside Secondary. She smelled something burning and checked the fireplaces but they were okay. Then a piece of blazing wood from the roof fell onto the deck. Lindsay ran outside and neighbours called the fire department. People from cars seeing the flames from the 401 ran to the scene to see if everyone was okay. There were fire alarms in the house but they did not go off. The fire marshal was not called to investigate. “We are still looking for two cats, but we saved the ferrets and the two dogs,” Debbie said. She was grateful no one else was hurt in the blaze. Just a week before a young women lost her life going off

Johnstown Road at the corner where it turns past Acme Road. Bob Sills found the body lying in the wooded area where she was ejected from the car. He set up a memorial at the site where family and friends have placed flowers. “This hasn’t been a great week,” Debbie said, in an understatement. She added that her eldest daughter in university knew the woman, 23-yearold Larissa Reinhardus from Stirling. Her mother was a guidance teacher at Bayside. Debbie added that her youngest, a four-year-old, doesn’t understand what is going on. While the family is staying with Bob’s sister in Stirling, the little one keeps asking when they will be going home for lunch. “We will rebuild,” she says. “But it may take a while. This has not been a great Christmas.” Bob’s mother Maureen Sills lives further down Johnstown Road with her husband Rob. She said there are 23 in the family and Debbie’s mother also lives in Trenton. “We all stick together as a family,” she said.

use our pond,” Debbie said. “There were fire trucks running back and forth.” Fire Chief John Whelan said the fire department responded just after 3 p.m. and there were seven tankers involved shuttling water on rotation from Johnstown Road and across the river to Sonoco. “There was not enough water in the pond to use,” he noted. “It was not a good source. It may have been full of mud that has to go through the trucks. Also we needed more water pressure.” He said he was glad no one was hurt in the blaze. The firefighters had the fire out in two hours but were there for several hours getting all the hot spots out. A back hoe was called in to lift debris and they put sand down to keep ice off the driveway. “We got 30 calls on 911,” Whelan said. He estimated the fire at about $300,000 and said it started in the roof or chimney. Stations from Batawa, Tuckers Corners, Frankford and Murray North were involved, as well as a tanker from Belleville.
Volunteer Appreciation Awards were combined; this has been such a huge success the decision was made to continue the tradition. The categories this year are: • Agricultural Leadership - for the efforts and leadership of an individual or group in agricultural improvements, promotion of rural lifestyles, or assistance in agricultural events and activities. • Cultural Award of Merit - for an individual or group that has enhanced awareness within the community of culture, visual, performing or literary arts. • Outstanding Youth Award - for an exceptional contribution(s) made to the community and/or their school, and to an individual who is 19 years of age or younger as of December 31 of the year of nomination. • Sporting Excellence Award - for an individual or team accomplishment of a regional, provincial and/or national championship. • Recreation & Sport Award - for the volunteer efforts of an individual or group in the promotion, organization, sponsorship or motivation of sports, recreation, and leisure pursuits for healthy and active living. • Community Betterment Award for a volunteer or group of volunteers whose actions, commitment, volunteer leadership, service and community spirit has made a difference in the lives of those in the community. • Heritage Awareness Award - for an individual or group that has promoted awareness of Trent Hills’ heritage.

County coping with problematic changes in providing social assistance By John Campbell
News - Northumberland - The recent introduction of a Social Assistance Management System (SAMS) has caused myriad problems across the province, but Northumberland County has managed to avoid most of its pitfalls. Harry Jones, income services manager for the county’s community and social services department, explained how in a presentation last week to council on what has become a controversial issue for the provincial government. Jones said other offices handling social assistance payments have reported the new system is slow and labour intensive, with “everything ... taking twice as long as before,” and “numerous overand underpayments” being made to clients. “Staff morale is low, senior staff [have been] brought to tears, absences due to staff illness are climbing,” and SAMS “has been the deciding factor” in staff close to retirement choosing to quit now. In some offices, “union action has been threatened,” Jones said. “The list goes on and on.”
The problems, widely reported by the news media and raised in the provincial legislature, have not been as severe in the county, however. “I am not saying that Northumberland has solved the issues surrounding SAMS … [or that it] is immune to problems created by the conversion to SAMS,” Jones said, but “the department is united, staff are willingly taking that extra step to support colleagues [and] the right people are in the right positions.” As well, “effective planning, good communication, [and] the ability to adjust to whatever the system throws at us, is seeing us through,” he said. Jones also paid tribute to the understanding of clients, “who have had to sit through applications that are up to two-and-a-half hours in length … [and] are being told that the system is not taking the data the caseworker in front of them is trying to input, or that the system will not produce their expected financial entitlement.” All these setbacks have been accepted “without rancor, without recrimination” by clients who have expressed “their appreciation for
what the staff member is trying to do for them,” Jones said. “This takes the edge out of a difficult situation, and it is greatly appreciated by staff.” Jones explained the switch to the new technology was begun nearly five years ago but numerous delays led to training being “fragmented.” Northumberland “quickly realized that it did not meet the needs of staff” and tailored its training curriculum to the roles of the individual users, and to the learning curve and exhibited ability of each staff member.” Two employees, Jen Glover and Cheryl Downer, were selected to be learning facilitators, and they spent two weeks at the project centre in Toronto. Eleven laptop computers were purchased and installed in a dedicated training room, supported by the IT department, which had to “troubleshoot many connectivity problems,” Jones said. Effective communication on different levels, among staff, and to community partners and clients, informing them of the changes in the delivery system, and how this would impact upon them, was “an important factor,” Jones said.
Since the new system went live November 12, 77 defects have been identified, of which only three have been resolved, the rest requiring workarounds. In many instances caseworkers have had to use paper transactions which has become “a considerable workload issue,” Jones said. The transition to the new system “has been a difficult one, with more challenges yet ahead,” he concluded. County council formally recognized “the significant effort” undertaken by the community and social services team over the past three years “to successfully launch” SAMS,” Warden Marc Coombs said. “A new implementation like this is never without its challenges,” he said, noting the “horror stories” that have been reported throughout Ontario, but Northumberland’s team “has risen to the occasion” by pulling together and demonstrating “true grit and commitment” to serving local residents. Coombs said what was “most impressive” was 35 clients who gave feedback on the changes having “nothing but positive comments” to

healthy foods, their overall health is often affected,” she says. “They may be more prone to chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as depression and distress,” she said. The Health Unit measured the cost of healthy eating in 2014 for Northumberland County, Haliburton County and the City of Kawartha Lakes using a tool called the Nutritious Food Basket Survey. The basket consists of 67 food items that are nutritious and commonly purchased by Ontarians, but excludes other essentials such as cleaning products, diapers, toilet paper and personal care items. Health Unit staff priced items in the nutritious food basket at several local grocery stores earlier this year. In 2014, the Health Unit found the cost to feed a family of four (father, mother, teen-aged boy and girl between the ages of four and eight) was $190.37 per week, an increase of $3.78 per week from 2013. For a single parent with a young boy, the cost of a Nutritious Food Basket was $76.88 per week. That is an increase of $1.16 per week from 2013. “The weekly increase in food costs may not seem like a lot, but once it’s spread out over an entire year, it can make it difficult for people on limited incomes or people living pay cheque to pay cheque to make ends meet,” Azevedo Perry said. Typically, as the price of healthy eating increases, so will the costs associated with transportation, rent, utilities and other basic necessities.

Azevedo Perry said, “Then the situation is even worse, since someone who relies on social assistance or minimum wage may not see their income keeping pace with their overall living costs. Tough decisions need to be made, and purchasing healthy food may not be seen as important as paying other bills.” In the spirit of the holiday season, local residents are being encouraged to donate healthy food items, warm clothing, toys or other essential household items that help families in need. Gifts of money or volunteer time are also welcomed. People can also rethink health and help reduce local poverty, said Perry. “Health is about more than health care. Our health is also connected to where we live, the opportunities we have, the choices we make, and the decisions made by our government,” she said. To that end, she urges people to lobby their municipal leaders to consider poverty-reduction strategies that help build a healthier community and address the root causes of poverty such as income security and affordable housing. Municipal governments play a significant role, as many of the decisions they make and the programs and services provided can affect the well being of residents.

Major fires cause extensive damage to commercial building, house News - Campbellford – A pair of fires two days apart caused major damage to a commercial building in the downtown and a private residence on the west side of Campbellford. Firefighters were summoned to the first one by an alarm that sounded around 2:30 a.m. December 11. They arrived at the scene at the corner of Bridge Street West and Queen Street to find smoke showing from the second and third floors over The Bridge Eatery and Public House, Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said. One team entered the building and found a fire in progress on the second floor landing “and it was heading up to the third floor,” Blake said. Assisted by firefighters using the department’s aerial platform truck, “they were able to … choke it off.” Blake said “there was a lot of fire and smoke damage but the quick entry and the platform being on the third floor saved it from burning right down, and having the alarm system was really big.” Without the early alarm, “the fire would have been through the roof in another two, three minutes,” Blake said. Firefighters were “able to get in and knock it down … [within] four, five hours. They did a great job.” There was no one in the building at the time, as the two upper floors are unoccupied and the restaurant was closed. “It was an electrical fire,” Blake said. “It appeared
they had been doing some renovations on the second floor, and a freezer was on top of an extension cord, so over time it got hot.” Blake said the fire department recommends using power bars, not extension cords. He estimated damage at more than $200,000. Forty-two firefighters from Trent Hills’ three fire halls attended the scene. Almost as many were on hand for the next fire, which broke out in a garage behind a house at 154 Balaclava Street around 1:30 a.m. December 13. A neighbour across the street called it in after hearing “some popping noise” and then seeing “a glow.” When firefighters arrived, the house and two residences, on either side of the garage, were also on fire. Firefighters “knocked down the secondary fires and then attacked the house,” Blake said. There was damage to the sides of the neighbours’ buildings, and “extensive fire and smoke damage” to the house in between. “We’re not going to rule out electrical [as the cause],” Blake said. The homeowner, an elderly woman whose birthday was last Saturday, and two sons who were visiting, were transported to Campbellford Memorial Hospital for treatment of “minor smoke inhalation.” Afterward they went to live with family members in the Warkworth area. “I’m very proud of the guys,” Blake said of his
crews, as the outcome at both locations “could have been a lot worse,” especially on Balaclava Street where they had to contend with three fires. He estimated the house where the three occupants were removed from sustained $200,000 damage, while the bill for the two other houses was probably $25,000 apiece. Blake again stressed the need for homes to be equipped with working smoke alarms, saying firefighters have “really noticed” of late many residences that have ones with batteries missing. “We are going to start laying charges for missing smoke alarms and missing CO detectors,” he said. “Obviously, the kid gloves approach isn’t working. The
last three fires we’ve gone to have had either [ones] missing or the battery out.” Violators will be fined $235 but the consequence of non-compliance could be “worse than that,” it could mean someone’s life, Blake said. “The only way we stopped grass fires was to start [laying charges]. People were mad at that but it stopped the grass fires.” The alarms have to be on every level, and outside your sleeping area. The carbon monoxide detectors, which are also now mandatory, have to be in the service area as well as outside the sleeping area, he added. Blake said the house on Balaclava had a smoke alarm downstairs but the one upstairs didn’t have a battery.

Theoren Fleury now scoring a different type of goal: helping people heal By Stephen Petrick
News - Belleville - Theoren Fleury scored a goal in Belleville last week; one bigger than any he notched in his National Hockey League career. Fleury, now a best-selling author, started a conversation about overcoming trauma and abuse, much to the appreciation of 100 or so people who attended the special book signing event at the Belleville Public Library on Tuesday, December 9. Fleury was once best known as a fiery forward, whose speed and grit compensated for his small size and allowed him to enjoy a lengthy professional hockey career. That career included a Stanley Cup with the Calgary Flames in 1989 and an Olympic gold medal with Canada at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games. But he’s now championing a new cause. In 2009 he released a biography, Playing With Fire, in which he detailed the sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of his now infamous junior hockey coach. Since writing that book, he’s become one of Canada’s most renowned speakers on the subject and thousands of people who’ve suffered from similar traumatizing experiences have since reached out to him. Tuesday’s presentation was with therapist Kim Barthel, who co-authored a new book with Fleury called Conversations with a Rattlesnake; Raw and Honest Reflections About Healing and Trauma. “Something I thought was uncommon is the most common thing in the world,” Fleury said boldly to the attenTheoren Fleury, sitting next to Kim Barthel, speaks to guests at a book signing event at the Belleville Public Library on December 9.

Young Stirling game designer impresses Angry Birds
By Richard Turtle
News - Stirling - A nine-year-old Stirling Public School student has created a new level in the Angry Birds video game, paying tribute to her new home and Canadian culture. Sofia Hernandez, who arrived in Canada in June with parents David and Ana Baynes, entered a worldwide design competition in October after completing an Angry Birds game and learning of the contest when information appeared on the screen. Last week the Grade 4 student was informed, by email sent from Angry Birds in Finland, that she was one of 30 winners from around the world in a contest that drew thousands of entries from designers of all ages. The new level, she says, has an NHL theme and came as a result of her recent exposure to hockey both on television and at the rink. David, a dedicated Leafs fan, also plays recreational hockey in Stirling and Sofia became an immediate fan. Ana explains that the design was completed in a single day back in October when Sofia was sick and home from school, but feeling typically creative. She comes by her interest in art and design naturally, Ana says, with family in her native Colombia sharing passions for education and music. A university educated cellist herself, Ana met Baynes through their common interest in music and, after surviving an unforgettable earthquake there, the couple married in South America earlier this year. In another unexpected twist, their wedding photos will be among those featured in the upcoming January issue of Wedding Trends, David says, noting his recent experiences could fill a book.
Together they now operate La Dolce Vita B&B in Stirling where Sofia is looking forward to her first Canadian winter and her first full hockey season. And she is also looking forward to sharing her new game design with others. David and Ana admit they were surprised to learn of Sofia’s winning entry, although they had offered their encouragement from the outset. “It was a good idea,” David says of the original design, adding Sofia was very familiar with the game and its many versions. “It was a simple blueprint that could go straight to production,” he says of Sofia’s submission. But knowing the competition had no entry restrictions and would attract interest from around the world, “we told her not to get her hopes up,” he says. A total of 30 entries were selected with Sofia’s being one of only two Canadian winners. Other designs now available came from Russia, Israel, Uganda, Romania, Poland, United States, Singapore and Australia. Stirling-Rawdon Economic Development Officer Cassandra Boniface says winning the competition is quite an accomplishment for any game designer, let alone a nine-year-old. And the fact that a hockey-themed entry from Hockeyville (2012) is now part of the Angry Bird repertoire makes it “the perfect early Christmas present for Stirling-Rawdon gamers,” she says. The winning levels were launched last week, coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the original Angry Birds launch. New versions Sofia Hernandez, pictured with parents David and Ana Baynes, designed a hockey-themed level that was one of two Canadian winners in an can be downloaded at <www.angrybirds.com/ international Angry Birds contest.

and sizes.â&#x20AC;? Fleury said when he began writing Playing With Fire he was doing it more for himself. But he had no idea how many people would appreciate him going public with his traumatizing experiences. At one of his first book signings he remembers a large man approaching him, putting his book down and quietly saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;me too.â&#x20AC;? He said, at first, he started getting a couple of dozen emails from readers who could relate to him; then it turned into hundreds and eventually thousands.
working relationship. He said his work with her led to him having a moment comparable to the famous scene in the movie Good Will Hunting where Matt Damonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character breaks down upon hearing Robin Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; therapist character repeatedly say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not your fault.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the moment I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing I could have done,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Fleury recalled. One of Fleuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s messages is
that people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced abuse or trauma often have tonnes of underlying issues that also need to be addressed. He pointed out that both his parents had substance abuse issues, and other family issues played a factor in his troubled past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something led up to my abuser having this opportunity to abuse me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were 14 years before this sexual abuse happened.â&#x20AC;? A touching moment during
the evening came when a woman stood up and told Fleury that he was her favourite hockey player and his first book has inspired her to start writing about her own similar experiences to help her with her healing process. The two hugged, leading Fleury to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of connection I have with people almost on a daily basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Something so horrible can turn into something so incredible.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five hundred thousand people, since 2009, have reached out to me and said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;me too.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Fleury said. The new book, he said, is meant to inspire hope and self-reflection for those who have lived with abuse. Barthel explained that it reads like a conversation back and forth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What readers are telling us is they feel they are in the room with us,â&#x20AC;? she said. She also explained the name for the title, offering that Fleury also enjoys writing country music and one of his songs is called Rattlesnake. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested in the animal because they have the ability to shed their skin and start anew. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fitting title, given that Fleury has clearly re-invented his life. In the opening half-hour of the event, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was little mention of his hockey career, even though there were a few autographseekers in the audience wearing hockey jerseys. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living sober now; news thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing to fans who followed him during his NHL career in which he was suspended for violating his substance abuse program twice. Fleury credited Barthel for his new life. He said he met her at a conference in Winnipeg where she was speaking and the two since have since formed a

Shy, smart deer and a disappointing hunt
News - Tweed - Anecdotal reports from local deer hunters and a local abattoir indicate 2014 was not a banner year for deer hunting. Tara Palmateer of Palmateer Meats reports that they processed a total of about 100 deer this year. “We usually do that many by the middle of the first week,” she observed, adding that the number of hides brought to be dressed is far lower than most years. Dale Wood’s family were settlers in Elzevir Township and he has hunted deer and small game all his life. “It’s not just a huge part of Tweed, it’s a huge part of Canadian heritage … some of us from large families such as I am grew up helping to provide food for the family with hunting and fishing. You might say it’s in our genes,” he says with a laugh. Mr. Wood was a licensed safety instructor for a number of years with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) in Tweed. Wood did not see a deer this season but saw many signs of them. “We went for three days to B.C.— back-of-Cloyne—we did a lot of scouting there.” This hunt took place on Crown land. “I’ve probably seen over 200 deer this year. We had buck licences only and I have never seen more than two male deer—all does and fawns. I see them all the time out in the field. From all reports, some of the other hunters I’ve talked to had good luck around

here, fabulous luck apparently.” The “around here” Wood refers to is the farm and woodland east of Stoco Lake, much of its farmland planted in corn. Venison taken in this area is said to be tastier than that from “North of Seven” where deer have mainly woodland forage. According to MNR statistics, in 2013 there were 3,660 registered hunters in Wildlife Management Unit 62, which includes the Village of Tweed and areas east and north, and a total of 1,007 white tail deer were taken. Beef farmer Willy Broek is a neighbour of Dale Wood and had better luck this year. “We’ve got a lot of corn fields, and we got ten deer this year [including] five or six bucks. We usually get about twelve. The deer are doing a better job of hiding this year,” says Mr. Broek. Like Wood, before the season he saw “lots” of deer but “everybody’s numbers are low this year. I hunted for eight evenings and one morning before I saw a deer. You should see what they did to my cornfields.” Mr. Broek estimates that deer destroyed up to ten acres of corn in his 400-acre fields. “This year we have a lot more corn than normal and there lot’s of hiding places for deer. Before the season we’d see ten, fifteen, twenty deer in the fields. They made a mess.” Bears have been a major nuisance as well, says Broek. “They’ve done an awful pile of dam-
age.” Like most hunters, Dale Wood is a conservationist and is disturbed by what he frequently finds in the bush. Increasingly he is coming across “a huge amount of garbage … anywhere
and everywhere—coffee-makers, tires, bottles, lawn furniture, used kitty litter.” As a former Scout leader “we learned to carry out what we brought in,” he remarks. “It’s really got me irritated, it really stuck in my craw this year,” says
Wood, who wonders if garbage disposal fees are too high in the municipality. “The quote I’ve always liked to share is “take nothing but pictures and leave nothing but footprints,” he said.

Ageless exercisers surprised with medals
Lifestyles - Havelock - The Havelock Town Hall echoed with applause Wednesday morning as 12 unsuspecting fitness buffs were honoured and surprised with medallions and certificates of achievement from Community Care Havelock. The 12 ageless women are part of a larger group of at least 30 area residents whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become passionate supporters of Community Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vibrant weekly wellness program which has grown from less than seven five years ago to over 30 today thanks to the inspirational work of instructor Eleanor Cheyne. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They motivate each other all the time [and] share success stories,â&#x20AC;? says Cheyne of the dozen women, all over 75 (two within months of 90) who are members of the program. Some attend the afternoon sessions which are a little less challenging but still provide a personal fitness fix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to be involved with them,â&#x20AC;? Cheyne says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an instructor the best you can want is to have people want to learn what you have to teach them and they just keep coming back. They get what they want and we just support each other.â&#x20AC;? Participants work at their
own speed and capabilities and realize some have been involved in the program since its start five years so there is no rush to catch up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This class allows you and encourages you to do what you can. There is no need to get nervous. Do what you can,â&#x20AC;? says Cheyne. If people do too much they risk injury and that means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be away from class and the point of the program is to have people return every week and not be at home nursing exercise-related injuries.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know that their successes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be huge, just small things that make the quality of their life much better.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know that their successes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be huge, just small things that make the quality of their life much better,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the quality of our lives in this room that counts. When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in this room we all know we are safe and that we have something in common and that we
enjoy each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. When we leave we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but share our energy with other people and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making the world a better place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether we say it outright or not we are meant to make our world a better place.â&#x20AC;? The town hall wellness classes have become a going concern over the past half-decade and have expanded from winter-only to one day a week in the summer because of demand. Cheyne says participants have helped put â&#x20AC;&#x153;Havelock on the map as being a really healthy community.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an opportunity that most towns donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have,â&#x20AC;? she says, hoping other communities follow their example â&#x20AC;&#x153;and grab it and do something.â&#x20AC;? Ninety-year-old Olive Dunford enjoys the exercise program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eleanorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great [and these] women are all friends,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still do exercises at home which is very worthwhile.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be without it,â&#x20AC;? Rolande Dressler added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always did exercise but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more fun to be in a group and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more fun to be with Eleanor; she makes it more personal. I always feel good coming here. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be just sitting on your backside.â&#x20AC;?

SFC welcomes Special Olympians Sports - Stirling - OfďŹ cials with the Stirling Figure Skating Club (SFSC) are eagerly anticipating the arrival of busloads of participants who will be taking part in the 2015 Special Olympics regional qualiďŹ er for provincials at the Stirling arena on Saturday, January 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honour to do a Special Olympics,â&#x20AC;? says club Competition Chair Bev Myers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing our utmost to live up to their expectations.â&#x20AC;? The event promises to be an emotional one with both seasoned and younger athletes vying for a shot at the next level of competition. The Stirling Figure Skating Club Special Olympics 2015, co-hosted with the Eastern Ontario section of Skate Canada, will see about 65 athletes with their families in attendance, competing in various skating elements and free skates and solo performances. The athletes will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;bussed in from all over Eastern Ontario and some from Central Ontario . . . and (top ďŹ nishers) will qualify for provincials,â&#x20AC;? Myers says. Spectators, she adds, are welcomed and encouraged to attend this free competition. Participants range in age from about
ten to adult, Myers says, adding performances are always â&#x20AC;&#x153;very moving. They love to perform for an audience.â&#x20AC;? Opening ceremonies are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. with competitions beginning at 11 a.m. and running until about 6 p.m. An awards ceremony will be held at the end of the day, Myers says, before the visiting skaters return to their busses. Club members, as well
as others in attendance, are bound to be inspired, Myers says. The SFSC, which has a membership of approximately 140 skaters, applied to host this event and the club fund raiser is expected to prove a busy day for participants and volunteers. A ďŹ rst for Stirling in recent years, the provincial qualiďŹ er was hosted by the Frankford Figure Skating Club last year.

TRAVEL
Vienna’s Imperial Palace was the winter home of the Austrian rulers
Lifestyles - For more than 600 years (up to 1918), Vienna’s Imperial Palace (Hofburg Palace), located in the heart of Vienna, was the winter residence of the Austrian rulers, including the Habsburg dynasty. This awesome structure, often referred to as a “city in the city,” covered 240,000 square metres and contained 2,600 rooms. It’s now the official residence of the President of Austria, and it’s also a wonderful tourist attraction, housing more than two dozen important, spectacular museums. One of my favourite parts of the tour of the palace was a visit to the Grand Hall of the National Library, for it has been called “the most beautiful library room in the world.” This impressive baroquestyled hall, an architectural masterpiece that was erected in the early part of the eighteenth century, is almost 80 metres long, 20 metres wide, and is crowned by a cupola that’s adorned with frescoes by Daniel Gran. I also enjoyed my visit to the Imperial Court Chapel, in the oldest part of the palace (dating from the 13th century), where High Mass is celebrated and the Vienna Boys Choir often performs (and also the orchestra and choir of the Vienna State Opera). Also found in the oldest part of the Imperial Palace is the Imperial Treasury, which houses the Austrian Emperor’s Crown, the Emperor’s Crown of the Holy Roman Emperor, and the Treasure of the Golden Fleece. Yet another highlight was a visit to the palace’s Spanish Riding School, where the world famous Lipizzaners, those magnificent white stallions, perform in perfect harmony with the music. This Riding School, completed in 1735, takes its name from the original Spanish heritage of its horses, and it remains a performance school to this day (with its demonstration of classical dressage movements and training).
The former private apartments are also now open to the public, and I was able to see the rococo-styled rooms in which Emperor Franz Joseph and his family dwelt, including the living room and bedroom of his wife, his office, a bathroom, various salons, the Conference Room, and the large Audience Hall. I saw several chandeliers that were made of Bohemian glass, as well as tiled stoves made from porcelain. The Albertina, founded in 1776, is the most popular art museum in Vienna, and it’s located in the largest Habsburg residential palace, at the south end of the Imperial Palace complex. These state rooms were once lived in by the daughter of Empress Maria Theresa, Archduchess MarieChristine, and later by her adopted son, Archduke Karl, the winner of the Battle of Aspern against Napoleon. They now house a collection which was established by Duke Albert of Saxony-Teschen, a sonin-law of Empress Maria Theresa, and it comprises over one million prints and 60,000 drawings. Other important museums found within the Imperial Palace include the Museum of Fine Arts, the Collection of Arms and Armour, the Collection of Ancient Instruments, Ephesus Museum, Sisi Museum, Museum of Ethnology, Austrian Film Museum, and the Papyrus Museum (with the world’s largest collection of papyri). In addition to all this, there’s also an exciting art complex near the Imperial Palace. It’s called “MuseumsQuartier Wien,” and it’s one of the largest such culture quarters in the world. Here you’ll find several worthwhile museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, Zoom Children’s Museum, Tanzquartier Wien (a centre for contemporary dance and performance), Leopold Museum (a treasure-trove of Viennese art nouveau), and Kunsthalle (with its contemporary international art), and you’ll also discover several boutique shops, restaurants, bars, and squares.
I took a walking tour through this area with a very competent tour guide, Beatrice Aumayr. Unfortunately, it was raining, so I had to wrap up my camera in a plastic bag (for protection), but the adventure trek was still very worthwhile. After all, a short walk from the trendy Hotel Alstadt (where I was staying) brought me to the Museum Quarter and the Imperial Palace. We toured all the major highlights of this area, and we also checked out several of the specialty shops located nearby; Vienna is home to many of these. For example, Beatrice led me to what had been the chocolate and glass purveyors

We also checked out a trendy tea room, Haas & Haas <www.haaas-haaas.at>, where I sampled some tea and candies, pop, and even in talked to a sales girl who used juice and fruits. to live in Toronto.

Dr. Brian Ho Last time we discussed how bacteria acted as one of the three keys to tooth decay. This time, we’ll talk about the second key – sugar. Key Number Two – Sugar. In our previous article, we described two types of bacteria found in the mouth. The first group is good bacteria because it doesn’t have any harmful effects in the oral cavity. The second group is cavity-causing bacteria. These bacteria use sugar to supply their energy to survive. It is actually a very simple process. The sugar is taken up by the cavitycausing bacteria to create energy. The by-product of this process, or waste, is called lactic acid.
A statue of Empress Mary Theresa is found in the Museum Quarter.

The Imperial Palace now houses several museums.
In the beginning, tooth decay is not painful. It is like diabetes, the effects from the disease remain very silent for the most part. Gradually, the hole gets bigger and bigger until finally the bacteria reach the nerve of the tooth. That is when people experience the “Ouch!” of a toothache. That is when dentists get the “emergency call.”
So theoretically, even if you have tons of bacteria in your mouth, as long as you do not eat any sugar, you will never have a cavity. However, I have yet to meet a person Now this is how the whole who does not consume sugar or sugar-containing foods at story unfolds. all. So what can we do?

More recognition for innovative owners of Kaley Farms News-Northumberland – Kale is king. Just ask Draupadi and Adrian Quinn. The couple were among 50 regional award recipients recognized for their innovations in improving agri-food products and creating jobs. But the accolades didn’t end there. The Quinns earned top honours by being presented the Premier Award for Agri-food Innovations, based on what they’ve accomplished at Kaley Acres near Castleton. Since its launch in 2009, the business has converted ten acres of former tobacco fields to the growing of kale that is made into five flavours of snacks inside a 5,000square-foot processing facility on their farm. With annual sales soaring, the Quinns are now planning to open a 20,000-square-foot processing plant in Cobourg that will process tonnes of kale a week and more than double its current workforce of 15 seasonal and yearround employees. More plaudits arrived last week with Northumberland County add-
ing its own congratulations. “Northumberland County is proud of the strong agriculture and agri-food culture of our communities, and we are pleased to be able to recognize the success stories like Kaley Acres whose growth and innovation is so vital to the economic development of our entire region,” said Warden Marc Coombs, mayor of Cramahe Township where the award-winning business is located. “We’re very proud of all you’ve done.” He presented the couple with a warden’s certificate of recognition in honour of their receiving the Premier Award. Adrian Quinn said, “It’s truly an honour to be part of the agricultural community of Northumberland and to hear firsthand from Premier Kathleen Wynn about her overall support for agriculture in all its shapes and forms.” The couple plan to expand the operation in Castleton as well as open the new facility in Cobourg in January. “Who knew a leafy green vegetable could generate so much ex- Draupadi and Adrian Quinn, owners of Kaley Farms, were presented a certificate of recognition by Northumberland County Warden Marc Coombs December 10 in citement?” he quipped. honour of their earning the province’s top award for agri-food innovations.

County coping with problematic changes News - Northumberland - The recent introduction of a Social Assistance Management System (SAMS) has caused myriad problems across the province, but Northumberland County has managed to avoid most of its pitfalls. Harry Jones, income services manager for the county’s community and social services department, explained how in a presentation last week to council on what has become a controversial issue for the provincial government. Jones said other offices handling social assistance payments have reported the new system is slow and labour intensive, with “everything ... taking twice as long as before,” and “numerous over- and underpayments” being made to clients. “Staff morale is low, senior staff [have been] brought to tears, absences due to staff illness are climbing,” and SAMS “has been the deciding factor” in staff close to retirement choosing to quit now. In some offices, “union action has been threatened,” Jones said. “The list goes on and on.” The problems, widely reported by the news media and raised in the provincial legislature, have not been as severe in the county, however.
“I am not saying that Northumberland has solved the issues surrounding SAMS … [or that it] is immune to problems created by the conversion to SAMS,” Jones said, but “the department is united, staff are willingly taking that extra step to support colleagues [and] the right people are in the right positions.” As well, “effective planning, good communication, [and] the ability to adjust to whatever the system throws at us, is seeing us through,” he said. Jones also paid tribute to the understanding of clients, “who have had to sit through applications that are up to two-and-a-half hours in length … [and] are being told that the system is not taking the data the caseworker in front of them is trying to input, or that the system will not produce their expected financial entitlement.” All these setbacks have been accepted “without rancor, without recrimination” by clients who have expressed “their appreciation for what the staff member is trying to do for them,” Jones said. “This takes the edge out of a difficult situation, and it is greatly appreciated by staff.” Jones explained the switch to the new technology was begun nearly five years ago but numerous delays led to training being “fragmented.” Northumberland “quickly
Harry Jones, income services manager for Northumberland County’s community and social services department, explained how staff have adjusted to the introduction of new technology for the delivery of social assistance.

realized that it did not meet the needs of staff” and tailored its training curriculum to the roles of the individual users, and to the learning curve and exhibited ability of each staff member.” Two employees, Jen Glover and Cheryl Downer, were selected to be learning fa-

levels, among staff, and to community partners and clients, informing them of the changes in the delivery system, and how this would impact upon them, was “an important factor,” Jones said. Since the new system went live November 12, 77 defects have been identified, of which only three have been resolved, the rest requiring workarounds. In many instances caseworkers have had to use paper transactions which has become “a considerable workload issue,” Jones said. The transition to the new system “has been a difficult one, with more challenges yet ahead,” he concluded. County council formally recognized “the significant effort” undertaken by the community and social services team over the past three years “to successfully launch” SAMS,” Warden Marc Coombs said. “A new implementation like this is never without its challenges,” he said, noting the “horror stories” that have been reported throughout Ontario, but Northumberland’s team “has risen to the occasion” by pulling together and demonstrating “true grit and commitment” to serving local residents. Coombs said what was “most impressive” was 35 clients who gave feedback on the changes having “nothing but positive comments” to make about the efforts of staff throughout the process. “You have done the county proud,” he said, in offering council’s congratulations for a “job well done.”
Historical Society to celebrate Sir John A’s birthday
“T AIN IN PROFR ESSIONG ALS F O R OVER 3 0 YEAR S”

By John Campbell
Entertainment - Belleville - The birthday of one of our country’s most important historical figures is coming up and local people can help Sir John A. Macdonald celebrate turning the big 2-0-0. The Hastings Historical Society is presenting “An Evening with Sir John A. & The Missus.” The re-enactment event takes place on Tuesday, January 20, at 7:30 p.m. at Maranatha Church at 100 College Street West. It comes just days after January 11, 2015, when celebrations will take place across Canada to mark Sir John. A. Macdonald’s 200th birthday. Sir John A. was, of course, Canada’s first prime minister following Confederation. He led the country from 1867 to 1873 and again from 1878 to 1891. The event will feature re-enactors Brian and Renee Porter from Brockville in an in-costume, multi-media portrayal of the famous politician and his wife. The event is billed as a birthday party, complete with cake. It’s also intended to celebrate the Historical Society’s move to its new meeting facilities at the church, which has ample free parking and level access from the rear of the building.

News - Peterborough County - The Peterborough County-City Health Unit (PCCHU) is praising the provincial government’s recent decision to prohibit e-cigarette use wherever smoking is not permitted and a ban on sales to minors, displays and promotions. “This helps reduce the confusion when it comes to enforcing smoke-free places and also upholds the cultural val-
ue that smoking in any form is socially unacceptable,” says Donna Churipuy, manager of the PCCHU’s environmental health programs. “Peterborough’s leadership over the years creating smoke-free spaces is an important part of public health’s success lowering tobacco rates overall,” says Churipuy, “so we’re pleased to see this latest provincial effort to protect the
health of all residents.” While today’s legislation makes it easier to enforce smoke-free places, Churipuy says that further regulation is needed to control the safety of e-cigarette products. There is no current “oversight” governing how much nicotine or other chemicals are loaded into e-cigarette vi-
als, she says. Those chemicals have caused poisoning in children in some parts of North America, the PCCHU says. Health units across the province have called for more legislation to address the growing concern of exposure to e-cigarette vapours containing nicotine and other chemicals, Churipuy says.
In addition to its plans to restrict the use of e-cigarettes, the provincial government also announced proposed changes that would make tobacco products less tempting by banning flavoured tobacco, including menthol. The changes are part of the province’s campaign to have the lowest smoking rates in Canada.

Ski Hill open for snowboard and ski enthusiasts
By Kate Everson
on the slopes and Cameronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Batawa is so close we decided to try it out,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great!â&#x20AC;? Four eager young men were also busy trying out their skills on the new terrain park. Scott Belanger, Ethan Brassard and Will Watters from Belleville along with Michael Cooney from Stirling zipped along and made the jumps, just to feel the air beneath their skis. Dan MacDufďŹ e, outside operations manager, said
the early weekend saw quite a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;regularsâ&#x20AC;? out on the slopes, despite the mild, misty weather. The ofďŹ cial opening is December 19 for extended hours during Christmas week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seven of nine runs open,â&#x20AC;? McDufďŹ e said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ole Smokey and Lightning are not up yet.â&#x20AC;? He said they had a lot of snow, then it melted and the wind blew some of the snow off the hills. He added itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a temperature issue in making snow, it also has to do with humidity.
R0013050266
Sports - Batawa - A sneak peek at the Batawa Ski Hill on December 13 and 14 weekend was all snowboarders and skiers needed to get it on. They strapped on their equipment and raced down the hills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our ďŹ rst time at Batawa,â&#x20AC;? said a proud mom as she helped Keith, four, and Cameron Kerr, six, from Sydenham, try out the Bambi run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We squeezed it in after hockey.â&#x20AC;? This is Keithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want less humidity,â&#x20AC;? he said. This is MacDufďŹ eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second season at Batawa with a long history of working at different resorts, most recently in Collingwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder to make ends meet on a small ski hill like Batawa,â&#x20AC;? he acknowledged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need people.â&#x20AC;? He said the insurance costs alone are very high but they have made operations more efďŹ cient in areas such as lighting and equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a struggle,â&#x20AC;? he admitted. Batawa Ski Hill is managed by AnKeith, four, and Cameron, six, from Sydenham, try out the slopes on the drew Rusynyk and overseen by Sonja sneak peek Saturday at Batawa.

tion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs. Bata signs my cheques,â&#x20AC;? MacDufďŹ e said. He added they have 26 lift operators and a lot of new staff this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It works well,â&#x20AC;? he said. MacDufďŹ e added they are very proud of having the whole ski hill now powered with brilliant white LED lighting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the LED lights on the hill take the same amount of energy as one regular light,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are so efďŹ cient.â&#x20AC;? They also have 20 state-of-the-art snow makers, some portable, some stationary, powered by efďŹ cient pumps and a compressor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These can pump 200 gallons a minute,â&#x20AC;? he said, inside the pump shed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same as at Blue Mountain.â&#x20AC;? He noted that staff are all crosstrained so they can operate any system where they are needed. Jimmy Knell from Wooler was happy to be a snowmaker as well as operate the lifts and take over in rentals when needed. Rental technicians Caitlin Nelles and Camilla Willings were busy inside getting the rental equipment ready for the skiers and snowboarders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just try on the boots and we will ďŹ t you with the right skis,â&#x20AC;? Camilla smiled. She said the right height is between the chin and nose, although some may want them shorter for more control or longer for more speed. General manager Andrew Rusynyk said the ďŹ rst day was great and he was pleased with the way staff had worked so diligently to get everything ready. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good start to the season,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the weather has been a challenge, ďŹ rst cold, then warm.â&#x20AC;? He said snow made by the snowmakers is much more durable than natural snow as it has ice crystals in it. The snow guns are on for ďŹ ve or six hours, then the new groomer distributes the snow on the hill. The ski hill has a new groomer this year, a 2009 Bison, that is much more efďŹ cient and powerful than the previous machines, with 355 HP and a low fuel consumption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It moves a whale of snow,â&#x20AC;? Rusynk said.

Loyalist College celebrates surpassing campaign goal for Skills News - Belleville - Loyalist College announced last week that it has surpassed its $6-million fund-raising milestone for the Campaign for Loyalist College, designed to complete and equip the Sustainable Skills, Technology and Life Sciences Centre, and to establish awards and student financial assistance. A milestone celebration event was held on December 11 at the college to recognize the contributions of community partners. “I want to thank our Board of Governors for their foresight in identifying this strategic path, over five years ago,” said Loyalist College President and CEO Maureen Piercy. “There have been so many positives during this initiative— in bringing focus to skilled trades, to the wonderful opportunities that careers in this area offer—and in increasing collaboration with our partners, and awareness of Loyalist’s impact in the Quinte region and beyond.
“We have increased our program offerings, and enrollment has grown in our skills programs,” she continued. “We have built, with the help of our partners and communities, a centre which is outstanding and leads the way for our region, helping to build the economy of our communities. We’re so delighted with the results of this phase of the campaign—with a concentration on skills, life sciences and technology training—but we know that the reality is that we will continue to require funds for equipment and capital needs, as well as for ongoing student financial assistance. The Campaign for Loyalist will continue in the future and we know that we can count on you to continue to advocate on our behalf for your community college.” The Skills Centre, which opened in 2011, comprises 121,800 square feet—including 50,950 square feet of

repurposed “green” space, and an additional 70,850 square feet of new, flexible space for teaching, laboratories, shops, research labs and classrooms. After years of advocacy by area manufacturers and economic development partners, and a successful proposal by the college, the multi-use facility was built with a $16.6-million investment from the provincial and federal governments. Support from all sectors made it a reality, with funding from the federal Knowledge Infrastructure Program and matching funds from the provincial government.
The Campaign for Loyalist College, which launched on June 5, 2012, has raised $6.378 million from a wide range of community supporters including students, alumni, faculty and staff, foundations, municipalities, and business and industry partners. “On behalf of the Board of Governors, I would like to say how very pleased we are to have such wonderful support for this Capital Campaign,” said Board Chair Brian Smith. “The $6,378,188 total has allowed us to leverage additional support—for example, donations to the endowment fund for student financial

assistance enabled the college to access $804,000 in matching funds, through the provincial government’s Ontario Trust for Student Support program. “The total impact of the campaign then is close to $7.2 million—over and above the federal and provincial funding of $16.6 million to build the Skills Centre. This initiative is actually an impressive $23-million project overall. We commend the marvelous work by our campaign leadership team, Co-Chairs Wilf Wilkinson and Bernie Ouellet, as well as former Board of Governors Chair Stuart Wright.”
