AppleFest 2016 – Wasn’t that a party!

By Sarah Hyatt

Brighton – The streets of Brighton sparkled with a rainbow of colours during AppleFest, bringing thousands together to celebrate the apple harvest.

Chairwoman for the 2016 AppleFest committee, Christine Waterhouse, estimates around 15,000 people flooded streets and parks for the country festival and Brighton’s largest attraction of the year.

And with another extensive lineup, the four-day celebration brought apple-inspired fun to all ages.

There was a little something for everyone festival-goers agreed.

Over the years, the festival continues to grow.

This year’s lineup easily featured more than two-dozen special events, with community clubs and organizations hosting all sorts of activities and with a number of visitors coming to town for the 42nd annual AppleFest.

Waterhouse is calling this year another “huge success.”

The Main Street was “packed” with more than 150 vendors Saturday who shared all kinds of unique treats – those with a sweet tooth weren’t let down.

Crafts, art and other products on display for the street fair as part of the vendor lineup, showcased Brightonians’ talents in other areas.

Both new and returning vendors were a part of the action on Main Street.

Elsewhere in the community and in just about every nook and cranny, Brighton was bustling with events like the car and antique tractor show and the dog agility show which pulled in big crowds.

Just under 300 cars were on display for the car show, said Waterhouse.

An array of models ranging in the ages offered people the chance to revisit various time periods. Many who brought cars for the show brought vintage items such as historical restaurant characters, old menus and food arrangements, along with other memorabilia to add to the “nostalgia” and to their displays.

Throughout the weekend, Cold Creek County was also welcomed home and rocked the stage at King Edward Park, performing hits and raising some cash for the Brighton and District Minor Hockey Association.

The band also warmed some hearts as they welcomed kids on stage to sing along with the group, as reported on social media.

Among other big highlights were the Lions Club Children’s Village and Applefest Kings of Strength events.

“They were a great attraction at King Edward Park,” said Waterhouse.

Ash beetle boring in on Brighton, Presqu’ile, residents fear

By Sarah Hyatt

Brighton – As the tiny green beetle known as the emerald ash borer (EAB) chews its way through Ontario, a few residents are worried – it’s only a matter of time before “devastation” reaches Brighton.

The borer is an invasive insect native to Asia that was first discovered in Ontario and in North America in 2002.

“The beetle has proven to be highly destructive in its new range,” Natural Resources Canada reports. Since its arrival, the beetle has killed tens-ofmillions of ash trees and continues to spread into new areas.

Karen Caravaggio, who lives with her husband Angelo at 154 Harbour St., has seen first-hand what it can do.

“I have seen the emerald ash borer devastate York Region’s ash trees,” said Karen.

The Vaughan neighbourhood Karen lived in was relatively new.

“Every single ash tree was killed, removed at great expense and replant-

ed,” she said.

A lot of Vaughan’s trees were ash and “everyone in the community was quite sad after,” said Karen.

Karen and another Harbour Street resident, Lee Ostapuk, would like to something “proactive” done by the municipality, to save some of the ash trees on the street and in the community.

While Karen isn’t an expert, she admits, she’s fearful if no preventative measures are taken, Harbour Street, the parkette there and the overall landscape of Brighton “will be negatively impacted for a lifetime.”

The borer was identified in Northumberland County back in 2013 near Roseneath, as reported by Northumberland News.

The insect can kill healthy ash trees in as little as three years once infested.

In Vaughan, “death occurred quickly – the trees were then weakened and brittle, posing a danger in storm situations,” said Karen. “The city was tasked with removal. The trunks shot up suckers that made the

stumps into bushes.”

This continued to attract the beetle.

Down on Harbour Street, Ostapuk estimates some of the ash trees are around 40-feet tall.

“These old trees have protected us from hot summers,” she said. “This summer, our grass was kept green without watering.”

Ostapuk worries about losing her long-loved canopy.

“We need clean air – we need these trees for the birds and other animals too,” she said.

The spread of the beetle has often been depicted as almost inevitable as well as costly and complicated.

Canadian Forest Service (CFS) scientists estimate costs for treatment, removal and replacement of trees may reach $2 billion over a 30-year-period.

Also expected to be significant, are the ecological impacts of ash tree mortality on aquatic organisms, birds and understory vegetation, which are currently under study.

Brighton residents aren’t the only

ones worried either.

“The presence of the emerald ash borer in Ontario has been known for over a decade and it was also known here at the park, the EAB would eventually reach Presqu’ile,” said David Bree, senior natural heritage education leader for Presqu’ile Provincial Park.

The ash tree species are a major component of Presqu’ile.

“The death of these trees will substantially alter the look and feel of the park for years to come, until replacement trees grow up,” said Bree.

In 2012, the park learned there was a major infestation near the 401 outside of Brighton.

A full-scale protection program is not practical for Presqu’ile, which has tens-of-thousands of ash trees, said Bree.

In 2015, with help from the Friends of Presqu’ile, the park initiated an inoculation program. The program focused on protecting 10 trees along Jobes’ Wood trail and three different ash species, “to create a living muse-

um of trees.”

The inoculation process is repeated every two years at least.

Traps laid out in 2015 by the CFS didn’t indicate the borer’s presence.

Visual inspection in 2016 didn’t either.

“But early stage infestation is very difficult to detect – so we are not 100 per cent sure, there are no EAB in the park now,” said Bree. “We do know they are certainly not here in large numbers yet.”

In the best-case scenario, the park will be maintaining a population that will be able to re-seed once the beetle disappears or is eradicated, explained Bree.

This would be achieved through the 10 trees, protected by chemical inoculation.

“Once the beetle gets into the park and trees start dying, considerable costs will be incurred, as we will have to remove the dying trees in campgrounds and along trails for visitor safety,” said Bree.

OPINION

Next Secretary-General: No Charisma Required It’s not an election, it’s a Selection. And although all the countries in the United Nations General Assembly have equal rights, some are more equal than others.

Ban Ki-moon retires at the end of this year, and it’s time for the United Gwynne Dyer Nations to choose a new SecretaryGeneral. By the end of this year’s session of the General Assembly, in early October, we will know who it is. Which raises two questions: how do they make the choice, and why should anybody care?

The secretary-general of the United Nations is, in some senses, the highest official on the planet, but the selection process is hardly democratic. In fact, it has traditionally been a process as shrouded in secrecy as a papal conclave.

It is the Security Council’s fifteen members who pick the candidate, although all 192 members of the General Assembly then get to vote on their choice. And even on the Security Council, it’s only the views of the five permanent members (the P5) that really count, because each of the five great powers has a veto and the others don’t.

This is why people with strong opinions and a record of taking decisive action don’t get the job. That sort of person would be bound to annoy one of the P5 great powers – Russia, Britain, China, France and the United States – or even all of them one after the other, so the entire system is designed to prevent a maverick with big ideas from slipping through.

The secretary-general must never come from one of the great powers (that might give him access to enough resources to make a nuisance of himself), and the successful candidate should not be charismatic. The final choice is usually a “safe pair of hands”, some blameless diplomat from a middle or smaller power like the incumbent, a career diplomat from South Korea who ranks 32nd on the Forbes list of The World’s Most Powerful People.

Candidates therefore tend to be relative unknowns. If you look through the current list of candidates, for example, the only two names you might recognise, even if you are a political junkie, are former New Zealand prime minister, Helen Clark, now Adminis-

Brighton Independent 250 Sidney Street Belleville, ON K8P 3Z3 Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747 Published weekly by:

trator of the United Nations Development Programme, and Antonio Guterres, former prime minister of Portugal and later UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

But who is Irina Bokova, Natalia Gherman, or Igor Luksic? They are, in that order, a former acting foreign minister of Bulgaria, the current foreign minister of Moldova, and a former foreign minister of Montenegro. Well, all right, Bokova is also the current director-general of UNESCO, but you still didn’t know her name, did you?

You might also ask why Eastern Europe is a whole separate region at all, given that its total population from Poland to Bulgaria is less than the population of Bangladesh, Brazil, Indonesia or Pakistan. Same reason: it used to be seen as a separate region because it was occupied by Soviet troops and most of its governments were ultimately controlled from Moscow. History looms very large at the UN. There is some progress. Half of this year’s candidates are female, and there is a strong feeling around the UN that it is high time for a woman to become secretary-general. There is also an attempt this time to make the process more “transparent”, but it is otherwise unchanged. The Security Council still comes up with a single candidate who doesn’t offend any of the great powers, and the General Assembly then rubber-stamps its choice.

It’s basically a civil service job, suitable for persons of cautious disposition. How could it be otherwise? You only get what you pay for, and no great power is yet ready to pay the price in terms of its own sovereignty of having a powerful independent leader at the United Nations.

What would be the point of choosing such a leader anyway, so long as the UN has no military forces or financial resources of its own? It would only lead to frustration: the secretary-general can’t act independently of the will of the great powers because they designed it that way.

The job is still worth doing, and there is never a shortage of applicants. The secretarygeneral can speak out as the conscience of the world when there are massive violations of human rights, and once in a while she can actually organise a peace-keeping mission to stop the horrors (if all the great powers agree).

And she becomes, by virtue of her position, the most striking symbol of that more cooperative, less violent world that most politicians, diplomats and ordinary citizens actually aspire to. But we are still a very long way from the promised land.

AHL announcement ends years of political drama Editorial by Stephen Petrick Belleville Mayor Taso Christopher is probably too polite to say it publicly, but I bet there’s a part of him that wants to call up Gord Simmonds and say, “how do you like us now?”

Simmonds was the owner of the Belleville Bulls until he sold the Ontario Hockey League franchise to a Hamilton sports owner suddenly on a spring day in 2015.

Simmonds had repeatedly said the city-owned Yardmen Arena was getting too old and needed to be upgraded or replaced for the team to be viable in Belleville long term.

The status of the Yardmen and to what extent the city should work with Simmonds to keep the Bulls in Belleville then became a hot issue, leading up to the municipal election of 2014.

From the moment Christopher was elected, the Bulls days were numbered. Simmonds and Christopher didn’t see eye to eye and, I suspect, had a deep-rooted dislike for each other.

That became ridiculously obvious to me, following roughly 10 minutes of interviews I conducted with both of them upon hearing news of the Bulls sale in March of 2015.

Christopher, rightly so, was upset that the team was yanked from Belleville suddenly and the city was given no opportunity by the OHL to respond to Simmonds’ Hamilton offer. One would think league officials would have given Belleville that chance, since it had been an OHL city or more than 30 years at that point.

But, Simmonds insisted it didn’t matter. The team was destined to lose money year after year if the Yardmen wasn’t upgraded, he said, and there was no other potential owner looking to buy the team.

Plus, he said, the city was about to let the Bulls’ lease on the Yardmen expire before entering into any discussion with him about a long-term investment in the arena.

On that point, Christopher had an interesting

answer: “You can’t make an investment unless you have a solid relationship with the tenant,” said the mayor for an article published in these pages on March 19, 2015.

So Simmonds, wherever he is today, must be stunned at the news that was announced Monday.

City council had voted to spend roughly $20 million to upgrade and expand the Yardmen Arnea, so the Ottawa Senators can bring their American Hockey League affeliate team to the city for the 2017-18 season. It’s the type of announcement Simmonds wanted, but never got.

It means one of two things (or maybe both).

One, the city learned the hard way that, yes, it had to expand and upgrade the Yardmen Arena to keep competitive hockey in Belleville. And two, the city felt more comfortable making an investment with a completely new parter – Senators owner Eugene Melnyk – than it ever did with Simmonds.

During the Bulls’ last two years, the community’s interest in the team and the once rowdy atmosphere at the Yardmen fizzled. By the time the Bulls were sold, the team had one of the poorest attendance rates in the OHL, with only about 2,500 per game.

Was that the fault of the owner, the coaches and players (the Bulls were one of the poorer teams in the East in their two final years), or the fan base itself ? Hard to say – there’s good arguments to make both for and against in each of these cases. But we know that, for the AHL to succeed in Belleville, attendance rates must be way higher than what the Bulls saw in their final years.

Fortunately, for hockey fans here, there’s an owner willing to bet Belleville can be a great hockey city again.

And there’s a municipality willing to work with that owner to try and make it happen.

Ash beetle boring in on Brighton, Presqu’ile, residents fear Continued from page 6

GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION Friday, October 14 • 2 - 4pm Join us! Come and experience all that James Club has to offer.

Tour the beautiful amenity areas, and designer appointed condo style rental suites, all with balconies. Gourmet meals on site , parking, and a host of many 1st class service options available to suit your needs.

Busy on Friday? No problem!

There’s been so much interest is James Club that we’ve scheduled a second opportunity to see everything we have to offer.

Within the town, there’s no program currently in place to protect trees.

Whether or not Brighton goes ahead with a program in the future, that will be a decision of council, CAO Bill Watson said.

Costs for insecticides injected into trees over several years however, do cause concern.

“You’re looking at somewhere around $200-$400, maybe more based on the size to treat a tree and at least twice,” said Watson.

Currently, Brighton doesn’t have a good inventory of its trees either, Watson noted.

This would be the first step in shifting towards a program, he explained.

The municipality could get then identify “high value trees,” as was done in Cobourg.

“But this would still be pretty costly,” said Watson.

“Even if you’re looking at like 30 trees…it all adds up quick and with at least two years of treatments.”

Brighton could also look at a replacement program for ash trees, said Watson.

“It hasn’t quite got to us yet, so we have some time still,” said Watson.

Karen argues the removal of trees however, with associated regular disposal, stump grinding and replanting could cost more.

The CAO noted the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is also working on research and other methods, such as the introduction of some native predators like bees, to address the borer spread.

The Jobes’ Wood Trail at Presqu’ile Provincial Park.

Photo by Sarah Hyatt.

A closer look at the emerald ash borer As reported by Presqu’ile Provincial Park senior natural heritage education leader, David Bree: • The history of trees in the park has been a “rollercoaster ride” with plenty of trees before the European Settlement.

Many trees were then cut and burned. Trees came back through both natural regeneration and tree planting.

• “Now it looks as if trees will be disappearing from the park once again.”

• The larva of the borer eats the inner bark of ash trees, with this, they “ring the tree and kill it.”

• It’s well documented the EAB is 99 per cent fatal to ash trees in Ontario.

• The ash tree is often the first native tree to re-colonize an old farm field after it’s abandoned. Presqu’ile has many abandoned fields.

• White Ash grows in upland areas, Red Ash in damp fields and Black Ash in swamps.

• All three species are in the park, “in great numbers – perhaps as much as 40 per cent of the trees in Presqu’ile are ash.”

• An insecticide injected into the base of the tree in the spring, kills any larvae that start eating the bark or adults that eat the leaves.

• Even doing 10 trees is “no small effort, as it is a life-time commitment.”

• The ash trees must be treated at least every two years and every year when infestations first arrive in an area and then this must continue for the life of tree.

• “While most ash trees will likely be gone from the park in the next decade, we are committed to keeping the ash tree legacy alive along the Jobes’ Woods Trail.”

• Moving firewood infected with the emerald ash borer larva is the single biggest way the beetle has moved around the province.

• Those looking to help with ash trees in the park may consider a donation to the Friends of Presqu’ile’s environmental fund.

Brighton backing Purple Ribbon campaign

By Sarah Hyatt

Brighton – A purple glow will be seen downtown Brighton in October.

The sea of colour will be a reflection of council and the community’s support for the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society’s Purple Ribbon campaign.

Through the campaign, societies provincewide aim to increase awareness “about the community’s important role in the prevention of child abuse and neglect.”

Representatives for the Highland Shores society and Children’s Foundation recently appeared before Brighton council, asking for a show of support from the community.

Council agreed to get behind the initiative aimed at stopping child abuse and to show its support for local kids and the local CAS, declaring October as Child Abuse Prevention Month in the munici-

pality. Council agreed Highland Shores staff could in addition, decorate downtown with purple ribbons.

Mayor Mark Walas said he’d pull out his purple tie too.

“We all have a role to play to help protect kids,” Jennifer Bishop told council and the public, at the Sept. 19 meeting.

Through the campaign, staff stress the importance of speaking up for kids and for people to contact the CAS “promptly” if someone has concerns or suspects a child or youth may be in need of protection or help, due to abuse and neglect.

People are asked to show their support in October, by sporting a purple ribbon and to wear purple, on Dress Purple Day, which is Wednesday, Oct. 19.

People can also purchase a purple item from The Children’s Foundation to wear during the month. Visit www.childrensfoundation.ca for more information.

Council also approved Highland Shores’ requests at the meeting, for Oct. 16-22 to serve as National Foster Family Week in Brighton and in November, proclaimed the month as Adoption Awareness Month.

In other council news: The physician recruitment and retention committee’s recommendation to council, to have a recruiter present a candidate to health professionals in Brighton for considerations has been approved.

While the committee previously decided it would not proceed with its doctor hunt by way of a professional recruiter, “in this once instance,” it was decided a recruiter should be allowed to present his/her candidate.

The Municipality of Brighton invites applications from members of the public who are interested in serving on the following committees. We are seeking interested people from the Brighton community. To apply you must be a resident of Brighton.

Committee members discussed the use of recruiters again at length, during a Sept. 14 meeting, after this recruiter made an offer to assist the committee.

If a successful placement or agreement was achieved, the recruiter is to be paid a finders fee.

The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) will be sending out assessments for the next four-year phase in mid-October and “there will be significant increases in the current value assessment of farmland,” deputy mayor Brian Ostrander has reported.

While MPAC has already provided

some public consultation meetings and outreach information sessions within Northumberland County, in places like Cramahe Township and in Port Hope, Brighton was not on the list as of Sept.

19.

Staff is working to co-ordinate a session.

Council has awarded the contract for the water and wastewater rate study to Watson and Associates Economists Ltd., for $27,500, plus HST. Brighton previously completed a study in 2011.

Director of finance and administrative services, Linda Widdifield, explains municipalities are required to prepare a financial plan for the drinking water system, for a period of at least six years – starting with the year the water license would expire.

Brighton’s license expires in 2020.

The financial plan would be a 10-year plan (2017-2026), “which is sufficient to meet the requirements for the next license renewal,” Widdifield reports.

In the 2016 budget, council included $40,000 for the study.

Responses were received from six firms, ranging from $18,760-$38,720.

A review committee comprised of senior staff scored proposals and recommended Watson and Associates, “due to their breadth of experience, qualificaCouncil has agreed to get behind the Highland tions and public consultation process.”

Revisions include the addition of a process, where the transferring of all funds received from the sale of surplus equipment will go to departmental reserves.

The addition to the policy means staff will not be required to request approval for these transfers at yearend, Widdifield reports.

The process will ensure all proceeds from the sales of surplus equipment will be used for the purchase of future equipment departmentally, she explained.

Councillor Steven Baker was the sole member of council to express some concern over revisions. He did not wish to the see Trenton High School Cafeteria the policy revised, stating the needs of 15 Fourth Ave, Trenton the community are (just off Hwy 2 West) ever changing and therefore, funds may be needed at year-end for other reasons.

More regular reports and updates concerning the status of the water pollution control plant may be coming soon to council meetings.

Council and staff are working to etch out a plan to have more regular reports on the plant, with Jeff Graham of GSS Engineering attending one council meeting monthly, for the purpose of reporting and answering questions.

Brighton is also lending its support to General Motors.

Mayor of Oshawa, John Henry, wrote to Mayor Mark Walas and Brighton council requesting support from the community recently.

His request stemmed from the June announcement from GM Canada, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne “to hire 1,000 software engineers,” for the development of self-driving, autonomous connected cars.

The jobs are to be divided between the Oshawa engineering centre, KitchenerWaterloo, a Kapuskasing cold weather facility and a new facility in Markham,

Brighton – Residents may be able to catch up with council in real time soon.

Councillors John Martinello and Roger McMurray put forward a notice of motion and the idea on Sept. 19, that staff prepare a report on options and associated costs for the live streaming of Brighton council meetings.

The pair have also asked a report be presented to council and the public no later than Nov. 7.

Martinello sees the live streaming of council meetings as an opportunity to improve accessibility, accountability and transparency and also as a way to “increase public participation in local governance in Brighton.”

Several neighbouring municipalities including Belleville, Quinte West, the County of Prince Edward and Cobourg already provide live streaming of municipal meetings, he noted.

A construction project for a new storm sewer system on Chapel Street has been approved.

Council has approved the Chapel Street drainage construction project for a value of $25,755, plus HST to QBT Excavating Ltd. The new storm water system will collect the water from a discharge pipe that is located at the rear of a lot at 42-A Chapel St. Council received three responses for the project; QBT Excavating came in at the lowest. The remaining two bids were in the $36,700 range.

Council has also directed staff to prepare a report on recoverable costs from developers for Mac’s Milk and Lakeside Landing.

McDougall Insurance has been given the OK, to plant a tree in town as a way to celebrate the company’s 70 years in business.

Where the new tree will be planted, it’s unknown, but McDougall’s has no preference.

Katelyn Orr wrote to council recently regarding the company’s request, stating McDougall’s wanted to celebrate the milestone and help “beautify our little town.”

Brighton’s Own A Brighton Love Story

By Vic Schukov

Like the Boy Scout that he was in his youth, Brighton lawyer/ musician Daniel Thompson has amassed his share of proverbial merit badges.

At 15, as a drummer/singer he formed his first band, No Such Animal, their debut gig being a strawberry social in Brighton Memorial Park. By 16, he was playing the circuit of high schools, teen clubs and - weekly, during summers - at Presqu’ile Pavilion with The Westbury Union. One summer evening in 1968, he garnered a precious achievement when 16 year old Laurie Hart accepted a ride home on his motorbike from the Pavilion. His highest “badge” came four years later when she accepted his proposal of a marriage that would endure for 44 years.

After high school, Thompson transplanted the band and Laurie to Peterborough where he attended

Rocker with musicians based in Belleville. Destined to become Brighton’s virtual house band, their first album, “Not Taken,” led to a Quality Records contract.

Their subsequent release, “Take Me to Heaven” rocked Canadian and European markets. After several years of performing extensively, Bentwood Rocker cut back on live shows; today, they do about six a year, mostly fundraisers such as the Brighton Rotary Club Street Dance, Belleville’s Big Brothers and Sisters Rib Fest and the Trenton Hospital Foundation Gala.

The band continues to record new songs.

By the time Thompson had been called to the Bar in 1980, he settled in the Thompson family’s winterized cottage in Presqu’ile, assuming the Brighton practice established by his grandfather in 1931.

Trent University while she went into Early Childhood Education at Sir Sanford Fleming College. Although his grandfather and father were both lawyers, the latter also a Family Court Judge, Thompson remained undecided about carrying on the tradition. “They were okay with whatever career decision I made,” says Thompson.

By his second year of university, the band was going gangbusters, the income allowing Thompson to support a young family. Graduating with Honours in History and Politics, Thompson pursued his musical career full-time for another year before making a pivotal decision. He applied for law school: “Having a family to support, I was struck by the idea of being my own boss and not on the road constantly,” he says. So, off he went to Queen’s University Law School in 1975.

Thompson exudes the joy of a man who has found his place in his community. His favourite thing

about Brighton is “the way people treat each other.”

Yet, what a man so talented, so involved in giving back to his forefather’s hometown, was most proud of during our interview, was his wife. He says, “After we moved back to Brighton, Laurie started ‘Great Beginnings’ Nursery School in the Brighton Public School.

Pilot project will shed light on the murky question of the lighthouse’s condition

By John Campbell

Brighton – There have been all kinds of reports done and observations made about what’s wrong with the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse since it was built more than 175 years ago, but “very few of these things have ever actually been physically documented and substantiated,” says an engineer hired to find out exactly what kind of shape the structure is in.

Speaking to members of the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society at their annual general meeting Sept. 19, Mark Shoalts said many of the reports written since the 1980s “simply repeated things that people had said before,” and while some involved “a bit of investigation” none “seems to really support much of what is said,” yet their claims are “still accepted as true.”

The existence of iron bands around

the tower has not been confirmed, and the “inferior stone that was supposedly used isn’t necessarily in evidence on site,” he said. “The stone actually looks pretty good.”

Nor has it been proven there are “essentially two towers with a space in between them,” Shoalts said. “That’s the thing about a lot of this, we don’t know much.”

Which is why he described his presentation as “shedding some light on the tower. It might be a lighthouse but there isn’t much light.”

He and his business partner, Paul Jeffs, have been hired to carry out a pilot project next spring to get the answers the society needs before moving ahead with any repair work that needs to be done.

“There’s so much uncertainty, it’s really difficult to map out a strategy,” Shoalts said. “We’ve got to do a lot more investigation to be able to really

firm up the design for the restoration and then we can be reasonably assured that what we’re asking people to price is what they’re going to do and we aren’t going to be getting a whole bunch of surprises.”

The in-depth investigation is “fairly pricey” - $140,000 plus the cost of putting scaffolding around the tower from top to bottom, another $60,000 -- “but a good deal of it is work that would have to be done regardless ... as part of the conservation of the building,” he said. It’s “actually the first stages of restoration of the tower.”

The work, which involves removing the outer layer of shingles to perform a series of tests, represents a small portion of the restoration project, which is expected to cost more than $1 million to complete.

Then she founded and co-ordinated the Brighton Family Resource Centre, now the Early Years Centre.

Later, with a group that included Gail Ellis, Laurie started the Brighton Children’s Centre Day Care. One day last year, I spoke at Brighton Community Care, and Gail introduced me. All she talked about was my wife (laughing). Over the years at St. Paul’s, Laurie ran the nursery, taught Sunday school and served on the altar guild. She also sat on the Board of Directors of Northumberland Big Sisters, and served on the steering committee which brought the YMCA to Brighton.”

A skilled potter, Laurie often donated her pieces to fundraisers. In recognition of her extensive contributions to Brighton, she was awarded a Paul Harris Fellowship by the Rotary Club in 1999. In the midst of all this, she managed a busy household of three boys.

Thompson says, “Not only is she smart, beautiful and talented, Laurie is a real fashionista, always stylishly dressed, but somehow spends very little on clothes. She never pays full price for anything. It’s the same way she decorates our house in town and the cottage. She loves hosting parties and dinners for friends and family at both places.”

Sadly, (originally diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003) his beloved Laurie died on the afternoon of August 26th, 2016, quietly, at home, in the arms of her soulmate Dan - just the two of them, together to the end.

More than 800 people attended the visitation at the Brighton funeral home and/or the service at St. Paul’s. They waited in long lines, filling the church to overflowing to pay their respects and offer their sympathy to Dan, sons Trevor, Shane and Myles and his wife Jessica, and grandchildren Euan and Ruby, as well as her siblings Cathy Brunger, Donalda Macleod, Peter, Paul and Philip Hart.

I think of the lyrics to the theme from Love Story: “Where do I begin to tell the story of how great a love can be? I have no answers now but this much I can say: I know I’ll need her ‘til the stars all burn away. And she’ll be there”.

Former president of Community Living remembered as a role model and pioneer

By John Campbell

Campbellford – Jason Rae, who died suddenly Sept. 15, will be remembered for many things – his constant smile, his love of dancing, his joy in playing ball, and, most prominently, his mark in history when he became the first person with an intellectual disability to become president of a Community Living association in Ontario in 2003.

All this and more of his life was celebrated at a special tribute held in his honour by Community Living Campbellford/Brighton at its community resource centre in Campbellford Sept. 21.

So many attended that the Acorn Room was overflowing, and several hundred paid their respects the night before at the Weaver Family Funeral Home.

“Jason’s journey in life has touched us all in different ways, and we’ve been blessed to have him in our lives,” executive director Nancy Brown said in an interview.

“He will always be in our hearts and not forgotten.

“What I found so amazing is that Jason had far more connections than any of us could imagine,” she said. “He brought us all together.”

She said he did so by living a life of inclusion in the community, being a member of Rotary, working at the agency’s office supplies store, and playing in the Campbellford Men’s Friday Night 3-Pitch

League, where he was affectionately known as J-Dog. “He was a role model, he was a pioneer, he was proof that your dreams can come true ... if you set your mind to it, even if people have told you it’s not possible over and over again,” said Dawn Lee, director of quality enhancement and community development. “That’s what I think a lot of people will re-

member about him.”

Lee said Rae talked often about being bullied in school and being told what he would never be able to do, such as earning a driver’s licence or buying a car – two things he ended up doing.

“It scared him, but it also motivated him to want to prove them wrong, and he was proud (of what he accomplished),” she said.

Rae had served on the agency’s board of directors six years before becoming its president, and he remained a board member until his death at age 41, possibly the result of a heart attack.

“He always had a smile on his face, always had a good joke, and always had a story about his wife (Jennifer),” Lee said. “Being her husband was the most important

thing to him.”

The couple were married in 2008.

Rae was also “an awesome dancer,” Lee said. “He was always kicking up the dance floor.”

“He was a kind individual ... (who) was always enthusiastic,” said Gary Wilson, president of the three-pitch league and Rae’s teammate.

The league honoured Rae by raising $5,715 for Rae’s wife at its season-ending tournament.

“It was wonderful how the whole town came together and supported our tournament,” Wilson said.

J-Dog’s T-shirt was also on display “to show he was still there in spirit,” and players knelt together on the ball field as a show of respect.

The tournament has been renamed the J-Dog Memorial to commemorate Rae, who was “the face of Community Living,” Wilson said. “Jason thought so much of the ball league. He loved it. We loved him ... Every time he got up to bat, everybody cheered him on.”

At the family’s request, players from the league’s six teams attended the visitation wearing their team shirts, and Wilson spoke at the celebration of life, offering up humorous recollections, including Rae being the only one who knew how to operate the printer at the office supplies store.

“He said ‘I don’t know what they’re going to do when I’m gone,’” Wilson said, adding with a chuckle, “There will be chaos over there now.”

Speaking at council Sept. 20, Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan said Rae “was a great person in our community for opening all our eyes” about people with intellectual disabilities.

Brown was contacted while attending Community Living Ontario’s annual general meeting, which observed a minute’s silence in recognition of Rae’s accomplishments, which included having served on its board.

He received the James Montgomerie Award at its AGM in 2004, for being “a self-advocate who has demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting inclusion and equality of people identified as having an intellectual disability.”

In 2012, Rae was presented a Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contributions to the community.

He is survived by his wife, his father James Rae, four siblings – Shauna, Shane, John and Tim Rae -- and his wife’s family. He was predeceased by his mother, Gail Stafford.

which looked at what work could be done at two of the many level crossings in the township to eliminate the need for trains to blow their whistles. Council chose to do nothing because of the potential costs, he said, without investigating further what those costs might be.

Koehl suggested two crossings, Ontario and Victoria streets, that could be brought up to a standard to warrant the cessation of whistles.

“This will greatly improve the quality of life for all residents in proximity to these crossings,” he said, noting Brighton has one level crossing and Cobourg two where it’s been done.

He urged council to meet with CN “to clearly define what safety measures are needed to allow whistle cessation” at the two crossings.

Another option would be to close the Victoria Street crossing with the help of up to $20,000 in funding from Transport Canada, and to upgrade William Street, which would become the access route to the soccer fields.

“I certainly have sympathy for your

situation but successive councils ... haven’t supported doing much more on the issue,” Mayor Marc Coombs said in response to Koehl’s presentation.

Asked for further comment at the end of the meeting, Coombs said council had dealt with the issue several times but if he were “petitioned by council,” he would put it back on the agenda.

Councillor Ed Van Egmond said the cost to make the two crossings candidates for whistle cessation is “prohibitive.”

An engineering study done in 2014 estimated it would cost $46,000 to implement safety measures at Ontario Street before Transport Canada would consider any application for exemption from regulations governing train whistles.

Closing Victoria Street, to make one fewer crossing where trains would blow whistles, is also problematic, Councillor Tim Gilligan said.

“I know the noise is a nuisance and everything else but there’s going to be

greater liability when fire trucks and EMS cannot get to a place that’s hindered by us closing a crossing,” he said.

One resident suggested Cramahe enforce a noise bylaw to reduce train whistles sounding at night but Combs said “CN and CP would probably say they trump it.”

Koehl’s mother, Gritt, who’s also a member of the Cramahe Community Association, said the township should use the money it plans to put toward the rehabilitation of the Barnes Road bridge to upgrading a level crossing.

“You’re putting residents’ wellbeing, actually their mental health, in jeopardy by this constant noise level,” she said.

Her son and his family “need some peace and quiet.”

Van Egmond said the issue has been studied at length and “it always comes down to the same thing, it’s too much money to take the whistles out of the picture.”

“Nobody has come up with something that makes that easy for us,” he said.

Feral cats strike fear among Cramahe pet owners

By John Campbell

Cramahe Township – Feral cats have become “a critical health hazard” and municipalities need to do something to address the problem, says a Brighton woman has written area councils voicing her concerns.

In a letter included in Cramahe Township council’s Sept. 19 agenda, Margaret Fleming said there seems to be “disturbingly minimal concern about rabies as a public health issue” in the area, based on her experience of trapping feral cats that have come onto her property on County Road 21.

Her municipality and private pest companies “refuse to process” the animals she has caught and she has been

Tobey Developments shines provincially, nationally, and beyond

By John Campbell

Brighton -- Gordon Tobey Developments Ltd completed the trifecta by winning an Ontario Home Builders’ Association award this month for architectural design in the Most Outstanding Production Built Home (one-storey) category.

The Hawthorn won the same category at the national level earlier this year, and the Brighton developer took top honours for energy efficiency in a North American competition, the RESNET (Residential Energy Services Network) Cross Border Builders’ Challenge, with its model, The Twisted Willow.

The company was recognized as the Canadian custom home builder with the lowest HERS (Home Energy Rating System).

President Stephen Tobey said “detail, detail, detail” accounts for the two models doing so well in winning awards.

“You walk in them you have a great feel,” he said. “People love the way they feel.”

The builder offers between 15 and 20 standard designs.

The Hawthorn has been it’s “most successful ... for several years.”

Tobey stressed his whole team was responsible for winning the awards, from the people who design them to those who build them, and all of them are local.

“Everybody here contributes,” he said.

The Hawthorn is open for viewing.

“If you want to see what a national award winner looks like, what a provincial award winner looks like, we’re open five days a week,” Tobey said. Hours are 1 to 4 p.m. Monday to Thursday, as well as Saturday.

forced to release them back into the wild.

She got in touch with Cramahe after her most recent capture and was told “there was nothing they could do because there is no cat by-law,” Fleming wrote. “They offered absolutely no help and could suggest no recourse.”

She fared no better with Brighton, two pest control companies, and the public health unit.

“The onus is clearly on the municipalities to establish a comprehensive by-law regarding domestic and feral cats,” Fleming argued.

Cat owners need to be “made aware of the extreme health risk (i.e rabies, among others) inherent in allowing a cat to roam free” and they should have to pay “substantially for licensing and/or chipping” of their pets, as well as pay for their return when they go free.

Cats should also be spayed or neutered as a condition of licensing and the revenue raised from fees could help fund a “special service” to trap feral cats.

“Feral cats and stray pet cats wreak havoc on our native species,” Fleming wrote.

Moreover spay and release programs “do nothing to address this issue,” because cats that have been released “still prey on native wildlife, pose a substantial health risk, and reveal the gross indifference of the owner for the welfare of the cat itself,” she said.

“I speak for many who have tolerated free-roaming cats defecating in our yards long enough,” she continued. It’s time a bylaw was put in place that ensured cat owners “are held responsible for their pets and the health of the environment.”

Cramahe Mayor Marc Coombs said

“it’s a problem that’s outside the capability” of the township.

“We don’t have any resources to look after that situation, as serious as it is,” he said. “We have enough of a problem trying to deal with dogs.”

Bylaw enforcement officer Holly Grant said she had contacted the Northumberland Humane Society and was told Cramahe has “the lowest reported feral cat situations” of all the municipalities in the area.

“There are programs out there that do help look after this,” she added.

Trenton Golden Hawks pound Panthers

By Erin Stewart

Trenton – The G-Hawks continue to run up the score on their opponents, winning 14-3 over the Pickering Panthers on Fri. Sept. 23.

Led by hat tricks from newcomers Austin Bottrell, who also added one assist, and Michael Silveri, the G-Hawks were up 8-1 by the end of the first period.

Liam Morgan led the Hawks with five points, two goals and three assists, co-captain Lucas Brown picked up four points, one goal and three assists, and Ture Linden scored two goals and two assists.

Brandon Marinelli, Ben Scheel and Austin Tonkovich each scored one goal and one assist, Gary Dhaliwal registered three assists, Jeremy Pullara, co-captain Josh Allan and Mac Lewis picked up two assists each and Jordan Chard, Rex Moe, Alex Potter, Louis

DiMatteo and Nick Boddy each registered one assist.

The Panthers’ Thomas Hernandez, Daniel Tsiampas and Andrew Poulias each scored one goal and Lucas Rogers, Daniel Lowe, Joseph Franzin and Anthony Stavrou added one assist.

Trenton’s goaltender Charles Grimard saved three shots out of the six sent his way in 23 minutes and Chris Janzen saved all 11 shots he faced in 36 minutes. Pickering’s Aidan Link saved 28 of the 35 shots he faced in 40 minutes and Koskinas Spyros saved 8 out of 15 shots in 19 minutes.

Coach Jerome Dupont said it can be difficult to keep up the intensity when the team starts off the game ahead by seven points.

“I thought we sustained it pretty well for the most part today and I thought our start was exceptional,” he said. “We have to be better at our transition game and I think we’re still

spending too much time in our zone so we’ve got to work on those areas.”

The Hawks hit the road for the 2016 OJHL Governors’ Showcase at the Harborcenter in Buffalo, New York from September 26-28. Trenton will play North York and Milton.

Newcomer Ture Linden said the Hawks will be prepared for a busy couple of days.

“We have a lot of games in a short period of time so we’ve just got to keep the legs I guess and be ready to go.”

He said it’s been a great transition becoming part of the G-Hawks’ team.

“The leaders have been great, welcoming us into the team and making us part of the team, so it’s really been a great experience so far, I really like it here.”

The G-Hawks beat the Aurora Tiger 4-2 during their away game on Sunday, Sept. 25. Trenton will host Whitby on The Trenton Golden Hawks’ Ben Scheel, #19, focused on game action.

Friday, Sept. 30, at 7:30 p.m.

It was 5-0 before Matt Davies put the

Stars on the board, and Ian Elvery added another power play goal with 6:30 to play.

Much more satisfying were the back-toback wins over the Tottenham Steam.

Maksim Kuteinikov was the game’s first star in the team’s 4-1 win Sept. 24, stopping 41 shots. Justin Duek was the second star with a goal and an assist.

Also scoring were Davies, Malik Henry and Andy Senties Piedtra.

Davies was star No. 1 in the team’s 7-1 win at Tottenham Sept. 19, scoring two goals and adding two assists. Kuteinikov was the second star, making 27 saves, and

Bikes roll to raise $200K for Wounded Warriors

Trenton - This past weekend, nearly 200 cyclists, many of them military veterans and active service members, embarked on a two-day bike ride from Trenton, Ontario right into the heart of Toronto at Queen’s Park during the inaugural Wounded Warriors Canada Highway of Heroes Bike Ride.

Participants were required to raise a minimum of $1,000 in funds to support ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members,

Veterans, First Responders and their families, living with operational stress injuries like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

To date the ride has raised a total of $200,000.

This year, in true maverick form, Wounded Warriors Canada was cheered on by long-time partners, distiller Glenfiddich as they rode along a 170-kilometre stretch of Ontario’s Highway of Heroes, Macdonald-Cartier Freeway

(better known as Highway 401).

The route has been designated the “Highway of Heroes” to reflect its use for funeral convoys carrying fallen Canadian Armed Forces service men and women.

“Since 2013, our partners at Glenfiddich have supported us in raising a tremendous amount of money through the sale of their 15-Year-Old Solera Reserve (scotch whisky),” said Scott Maxwell, Executive Director,

Wounded Warriors Canada.

“Our mission is to support our ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members, Veterans, First Responders and their families by funding innovative mental health programs across the country. We simply couldn’t do this without the support of our partners and the generous Canadians that donate their time and hard earned dollars to our cause.”

Participants began their ride

from the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial in Trenton at 9:30 a.m.

Along the way, they witnessed the unveiling of two LAV III Monuments, visited the Wounded Warriors Park of Reflection in North Whitby, enjoyed a Glenfiddich victory toast at the team dinner, and experienced three commemorative services.

Childcare centres receive new playground equipment through Healthy Kids Challenge

By Stephen Petrick

Outdoor playtime at several local childcare centres is going to be super fun now – and healthy too.

Eighteen different childcare centres recently had new outdoor natural play equipment installed in their yards.

This equipment was purchased by the Healthy Kids Community Challenge Hastings Prince Edward as a part of its first theme, Run. Jump.

Play. Everyday, which focused on the importance of physical activity for kids through a mix of structured and unstructured activities.

The provincial government recently granted Hastings County up to $375,000, to be spent from 2016 to 2018, for participating in the challenge.

The money is being spent on projects that will help kids live healthier lifestyles, such as the installing of new playground equipment.

Earlier this year, the funds helped train elementary school teachers on how to provide more engaging activities to young children in phys ed.

But the money for the playground equipment is the latest project.

“When children are outside, they move more, sit less, and play longer,” said Emma Pillsworth, project manager for the Healthy Kids Community Challenge. “This equipment will encourage children to move in new and creative ways, and make it easier for local Early Childhood Educators Allie, a toddler at the Belleville YMCA daycare, carries what looks to be a large stick, but to engage children in outdoor, active play from a is actually new playground equipment. The equipment, provided to the Y by a company called Nature’s Instruments, is intended to get kids excited about nature. The equipment young age.”

The news was announced by Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith on Friday, Sept. 23. His office provided breakdowns of how the money will be split by Belleville, Prince Edward County and Hastings County’s 14 rural municipalities, over a four-year period from 2016 to 2019.

The City of Belleville is expected to receive the biggest sum, with about $7.6 million committed

to the city over the next four years, starting with a $744,355 in 2016.

The city is expected to receive $1,496,593 in 2017, $2,116,067 in 18 and 3,215,691 in 2019.

Centre Hastings is expected to receive a total of $460,394 over four years, while Stirling-Rawdon is expected to receive $196,842 in the same time span.

Tweed is expected to receive $298,486 over the same four years and Marmora and Lake is expected to receive $241,599.

The remaining Hastings County municipalities are each expecting similar sized six-figure investments. Hastings County itself is expected to receive $175,000 over the four years for projects it can spread out between its 14 municipalities.

Meanwhile, Prince Edward County is earmarked to receive over $2.7 million over the four years.

The news is exciting for Smith.

Low-cost rabies vaccination clinics offered on Oct. 1

The annual low-cost rabies vaccination clinics for cats and dogs will be taking place on Saturday, Oct. 1 at various locations throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties, the health unit has announced.

At the clinics, rabies vaccine will be offered at the reduced cost of $25 per cat or dog.

The clinics are offered annually through an ongoing partnership between local veterinarians and Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. In the 17 years since the clinics started in 1999, these clinics have administered more than 75,000 rabies vaccinations to cats and dogs in Hastings and Prince Edward Counties.

Rabies vaccination is the best way to reduce the occurrence of rabies in pets, as well as prevent the transmission of rabies to humans.

“The goal of these clinics is to make it easier for animal owners to prevent

rabies in their pets,” says Dave Dodgson, Program Manager for Hastings Prince Edward Public Health. “By keeping pets protected, we also protect people from getting infected with the rabies virus.”

The recent outbreak of rabies in Hamilton, Ontario, shows the importance of remaining vigilant with rabies vaccinations for pets. Rabies is still prevalent in many parts of the world which is why the World Health Organization has declared September 28 as World Rabies Day to help raise awareness about the importance of vaccination in preventing the spread of this disease.

To protect your pets and your community from the risk of rabies, find a low-cost vaccination clinic near you.

Information about the vaccination clinics is available in the Clinics and Classes section of the HPEPH website. For additional information, contact HPEPH at 613-966-5500.

The Good Earth:

Now’s the time to get busy in the garden

Dan Clost Now is, indeed, the time Gentle Reader. It is time to get busy in your piece of this good earth. Experience gardeners will know that “getting busy” doesn’t always mean physical exertion.

The first part of getting busy

is determining what needs your busy-ness. So take a pad and paper and have a seat on your thinking bench. If you don’t have a thinking bench then that is the first item to jot down.

A thinking bench (could be an Adirondack chair, a rustic birch log settee or even a chaise lounge) is an integral part of any properly designed landscape.

Simply defined it is a place where you can sit and enjoy your estate; a place where you can watch the seasons play out; a place where you go to relax, perhaps listen to a favourite piece of music.

(It is not a coincidence that I am listening to Neil Diamond’s Kyrie Gloria from his Jonathan Livingstone Seagull sound track as I write this.)

Now that you’re in the proper frame of mind, start making notes. I suggest that write down how you felt at the height of this summer’s double whammy of heat and drouth. I know I was trying to convince myself that all

would be well but deep down I thought almost everything was gone. (And thanks to Sharon for sharing that she felt that way, too.) Once your Gloomy Gus persona has had the opportunity to smudge your entries with negativity, turn the page. The next notes might focus on all that is good on your estate. At Clost Commons the zinnias and dragon wing begonias are in spectacular bloom; the Siskiyou guara (think butterflies) are dancing on the end of their long stems; the butternut squash are finally getting some size; the pole beans have taken over not only the cucumber tower but also the tomato strings, the backyard fence and the broom corn; and, the glads have finally decided it is time for them to bloom.

Most of the lawn has returned to mostly green grass, and only two plants (Blue Muffin viburnum standard, Bloodgood Japanese Maple) actually succumbed although we have a few young

trees that will need some tlc to make it through the winter.

You should be feeling relieved with a true gardener’s optimism fully restored.

Your observations will now be positively critical, accompanied with actions/solutions.

At this point, physical activity attends the notes. For example, “overseed and top dress bare spots on the lawn.”

Here is a list of my fall activities: 1. Overseed and top dress bare spots on the lawn.

2. Empty out the composters using the finished compost for top dressing.

3. Plant Bulbs. If I happen to dig up bulbs I planted before, then I will move those old bulbs to a backyard holding area.

4. Collect fallen leaves and hold them for covering tender perennials after the first hard frost with the remainder being used to make leaf mould.

5. Plant a pear tree where the ancient (25 years old) dwarf Paula Red apple tree is hanging on for one final fall.

6. Find places for about 30 pots of perennials- mostly astilbe with a few ferns (Maidenhair, Red Lady and Barnes) and Sibirica iris.

I could heel them into the unused part of the veggie garden but then I’d have to move them again in the spring. I’ll likely spend a few extra minutes on the thinking bench figuring out how to minimize that extra work.

7. Continue to dig up old shrubs and perennials from under the black walnut treeyes, the same tree that pulled apart our fence. Over the winter, we’ll come up with a garden plan for the new space.

8. Take time to be grateful we have a garden and the opportunity to enjoy it.

A dozen of the U.S.A.’s best national parks

By John M. Smith

This past summer, I wrote an article in which I briefly talked about a dozen of Canada’s best National Parks, for next year, as part of our 150th birthday celebrations, entrance to our national parks will be free. However, the U.S. is celebrating the centennial celebrations of the National Park Service this very year, so I thought that it would only be fitting to list a dozen of their very best, too: Acadia: If you want to catch that first sunrise in the country’s most easterly national park, then I’d suggest a visit to Maine’s Cadillac Mountain, the highest point along the nation’s eastern coast, located on Mount Desert Island. While in this beautiful park, enjoy travelling on its historic carriage roads.

Arches: Utah’s Arches National Park, located just outside of Moab, has the world’s largest concentration of natural sandstone arches. More than 2,000 arches, along with many other fascinating geological formations, are to be found in here, and it’s, therefore, a photographer’s delight. Be sure to check out Delicate Arch, Double Arch, Landscape Arch, Balanced Rock, Fiery Furnace, and the Devil’s Garden.

Bryce Canyon: This Utah park would be my choice for the most beautiful U.S. national park, for its awesome horseshoe-shaped amphitheatre, majestic red rock spires, pillars, domes, and its plethora of eye-popping hoodoos make this park like no other. Many of its best lookout points are located near the

park entrance, as is the incredible Navajo Loop Trail, which will take you from the rim of the canyon to the floor and back. It’s a stunning adventure trek!

Denali: There’s only one main road into the interior of this Alaskan park, and it’s narrow, with many twists and treacherous curves.

Therefore, individuals are not allowed to drive their own vehicles past mile 15 on the Denali Park Road, at the Savage River Check Station, and bus drivers must pass a stringent driving test that includes being able to drive backwards around those dangerous curves. This is simply because the buses often meet along the narrow road, so one must back up and give way to the other, and this is particularly challenging when the two large vehicles meet on a hairpin turn high above the valley floor! The high point of the 8-hour bus tour, both literally and figuratively, is over Polychrome Pass, and from up here there’s a fantastic view of the Plains of Murie that stretch all the way to the Alaska Range.

Glacier: The best way to get an overview of this spectacular park, located in Montana, is to simply drive across its cliff-hugging Going-to-theSun Road (but it’s only open between late June and early September because of the heavy snowfall). Another great way to explore the park is on its trail system, for the park offers more than 1,000 km. of hiking trails. I’d visit soon, though, for global warming is playing havoc with its glaciers.

Grand Canyon: This one is probably on most tourists’ ‘bucket lists’. It’s mammoth, and it’s Arizona’s

most distinguishable landmark. This awesome gorge is usually considered to be one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World”. It stretches for well over 200 miles from end to end, and it’s over 200 miles by road from the South Rim to the North Rim. Great Smokey Mountains National Park: This is the most visited national park of them all. It’s divided between North Carolina and Tennessee, covers an area of more than half a million acres, and is located within a day’s drive of about a third of the nation’s entire population. It was the Cherokee who described these ancient mountains as “shaconage”, meaning “blue, like smoke” (hence the name of the park).

Haleakala: One of my fondest memories is watching a sunrise on Maui’s Haleakala. “Haleakala” means “House of the Sun”, and I find it difficult to find the right words to convey to you the special feeling that I had on that summit (at over 10,000 feet) in the stark blackness of the night – and then to witness those first rays of light in the sky as the sun was about to emerge – and then to see the sudden bursting forth of that bright yellow ball of light! Then, to top it off, I descended this volcano by bicycle. It was awesome!

Rocky Mountain National Park: I find this Colorado park’s Alpine Visitor Centre particularly appealing, for it’s the highest one in the country’s entire National Park Service, and it offers extraordinary alpine tundra views. On one occasion, I ascended a trail here and saw a herd of elk in the valley below!

Yellowstone National Park: Most of this exquisite park, the U.S.’s first national park, is in the northwest corner of Wyoming, but it also spills over into a bit of Idaho and Montana.

If I had to choose one U.S. national park as my favourite, it would be this one, for it has such spectacular and varied terrain and abundance of wildlife. I’ve never been in this park without seeing wildlife – and check out its thermal pools, canyons, and geysers, too.

Yosemite: California’s Yosemite Valley, the most popular part of this park, includes such spectacular

granite monoliths as Half Dome and El Capitan (both very popular with rock climbers), such magnificent waterfalls as the Bridalveil Falls, Vernal Falls, and Yosemite Falls, and such incredible outlook points as those found at Valley View and Tunnel View.

Zion: My favourite stop along the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive by shuttle bus was at the Temple of Sinawava, for here I found the River Walk, and this led to the Narrows. This is an opportunity to walk in Utah’s Virgin River, into a very narrow canyon, surrounded by towering cliffs, and it’s a real adrenaline rush.

Protein’s important for Salvation Army Mark De Jong stacks packages of pork inside the Salvation Army kitchen while Doug Farrell looks on Friday, Sept. 16. Both were representatives of the Northumberland Quinte Pork Producers, who stopped by the Salvation Army’s downtown Belleville location to deliver a large donation of pork. The packages spread across the table, represent the donation of one rougly 235-pound hog. It marked the first time the Pork Producers had donated to the Salvation Army Belleville and it was a much needed supply, said Community and Family Services Director Abby Mills. The number of people accessing Salvation Army Belleville food programs this year is up 13 per cent from last year, which means more than 2,000 extra meals to serve this year.

Mills said the Salvation Army appreciates meat donations, because the organization wants to provide clients, with healthy, balanced meals.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

October is an all-important month for cancer awareness, especially for women Dear Editor, At the Canadian Cancer Society, October is about more than just raising awareness for breast cancer, it’s about taking action to save lives.

Women over 50 account for more than 80% of breast cancer cases in Ontario yet only 61% have regular mammograms. We need to change this.

Regular mammograms are the most reliable way to find breast cancer early – when it’s most treatable.

I lead by example and get a mammogram every two years.

I also fundraise to help the Society support 76 clinical trials and world-class breast cancer research.

Early detection and increased screening rates combined with better treatment therapies have resulted in a 44% decrease in breast cancer death rates since the 1980s.

This month folks in Hastings, Prince Edward and Brighton can take action against breast cancer by buying a pink ribbon, volunteering to sell pink ribbons or joining the Women to Women movement.

Monitor to aid in endoscopy procedures monitor that will improve the observation of sedated patients The endoscopy department at undergoing a colonoscopy or Prince Edward County Memorial gastroscopy procedure. Pictured Hospital is now home to a new here is a GE B850 Monitor that

By Briar Boyce

was required for our hospital under new health care standards for patients undergoing sedation.

This replacement will result in greater patient safety as the

screen has a wide viewing angle so the medical staff can easily read critical data right at the bedside. It is a high tech monitor with functions to help staff assess the tolerability of anesthesia in the operating room. The B850 Monitor will help our staff get accurate medical information, when and where they need it.

Prince Edward County Memorial is the low risk endoscopic centre for this region, performing 3,139 scopes in 2015. The ongoing replacement of scopes and equipment for this department is needed to keep the service efficient and of high calibre in the County.

Medical equipment is expensive and has a short lifespan. Unlike many medical costs, equipment is not funded by the government; it expected that the community finances the replacement of medical equipment.

The PECM Hospital

Foundation was able to purchase this much needed monitor through the generosity of the Stark Family Fund. The grant, administered by a local selection committee including Tim and Linda Beatty and family, is overseen by the Community Foundation for Kingston and Area and helped offset the cost of this $30,437 monitor. This monitor is part of the Foundation’s LIFE SAVER II Campaign for replacement equipment. Phase II of the LIFE SAVER Campaign focuses on acquiring medical equipment for the Endoscopy and Pharmacy Departments at PECMH at a cost of $201,022. Again, the Foundation is asking for the community’s generous support to help us equip our local hospital and thanks all those who have already stepped forward with their commitment to quality health care for the patients at PECM Hospital.

We’ve been delivering SERVICE

for 40 years!

Shown here with the new monitor in the endoscopy Department at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital from left are: Anaesthetist Dr. Jack McGugan, Shannon Reid, registered practical nurse, Surgeon Dr. Francesco Barnabi and Delores Chalmers, RN and team leader of the endoscopy department at PECMH.

When MacEwen Petroleum was founded in August 1976, we were confident that a company based on integrity, reliability and personal service would succeed. And we were right. Over the years, we’ve grown into one of Canada’s leading independent petroleum products companies.

Thank you for making all this possible.

We look forward to serving your needs for many more years to come.

NAFMCF gala will be ‘Out of This World’

By Ross Lees

When the National Air Force Museum of Canada Foundation (NAFMCF) named their semiformal annual gala “Out of this World, Astronaut Portrait Gala,” they weren’t just launching baking soda rockets.

Their gala event on Oct. 21 will feature two very well-known Canadian personalities – renowned Canadian artist Cyril Leeper and Colonel Chris Hadfield, a former Canadian astronaut and the first Canadian Commander of the International Space Station.

So when the NAFMCF says it is “out of this world stuff,” they kid you not.

Cyril Leeper is well known for painting portraits of members of the Royal Family, senior military officers, government officials and business leaders. More recently, Leeper created a portrait of Col. Hadfield, which will be unveiled and presented to the museum by Leeper and Col. Hadfield at the gala.

“We are very excited about this year’s gala,’ said development coordinator Brigitte Frances. “It’s going to be a special evening where those in attendance will have the good fortune to hear from an artist

whose talents are known across the country. Everyone will also be able to meet and listen to Col. Hadfield.”

Tickets for this event are being sold for $150, and can be purchased at the NAFMC, the Chamber of Commerce in Belleville and Trenton as well as Smylies Your Independent Grocer.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. for cocktails, followed by dinner, portrait unveiling, live auction and a dance. Money raised from the event will go towards supporting the NAFMCF and the Theatre campaign, an effort by the NAFMCF to build an educational theater within their space that will benefit Quinte West and the surrounding communities.

“8 Wing remains committed to the National Air Force Museum of Canada Foundation and its efforts to support the museum,” explained 8 Wing Commander, Col. Colin Keiver. “The yearly gala is one of the great ways our Foundation is able to present something special to the community, while at the same time raising money needed to help further the important stories of the amazing men and women in the RCAF in new and exciting ways.” Col. Chris Hadield, a former Canadian astronaut and the first Canadian Commander of the International For those who have questions Space Station shown here in an appearance in Belleville in 2014, will be on hand at the NAFMCF gala on Oct. please contact nafmcftickets@ 21 to unveil and present his portrait painted by renowned Canadian artist Cyril Leeper. gmail.com or 613.965.7314.

LOCAL BUSINESSES,

“Stuff and Nonsense” was a solid title for the benefit concert in aid of Syrian refugees by Command Performance recently at Holloway Street Church.

The nonsense was aplenty and the “stuff ” was non-stop, with swing dancers, chests of treasures and dozens of old-fashioned props, not to mention old-fashioned songs.

Some might say even “antique” songs. But, with some jazzy contemporary numbers and arrangers like Dr. Leslie Bell and a complete cantata based on the nonsense poems of Victorian era Brit, Edward Lear, it all came together.

The Picton-based community choir has a knack for finding programs that really works with almost any audience. This concert was no exception. The several dance numbers by Carla and Jerry McCoy added an extra attraction to songs like “Choo Choo Ch Boogie,” “Flat Foot Floogie” and “Blue Skies.” Emerson Pringle on drums, Greg Garrett on electric bass and Samantha Hirst on keyboard helped keep the chorus on track.

Getting back to the cantata, it was written by American musician and composer Vergil Thomson, using contemporary styles with Lear’s inane poetry, such as “The Owl and the Pussycat,””The

Roy MacGregor to speak about bumblebees and maple leaves at Historical Society Banquet What do bumblebees and maple leaves have in common? You’ll have to come to the Hastings County Historical Society’s Annual Banquet and Celebration of History to find out.

Guest speaker, Roy MacGregor, awardwinning Globe and Mail columnist and author, was born in Whitney, Ontario, and raised in Huntsville; so he is no stranger to the wilds of Ontario’s north.

Jumblies,” and “The Pelican Chorus.” Challenging music to sing, but a delight to the audience.

Members of the choir were quick and unanimous to respond to the benefit concert challenge to help raise funds for some of the Syrian refugees already here to bring over some of their other family members.

Command Performance, while based at Bloomfield, draws members from across the county and a good number from the Belleville community. It launched its new fall season as of Monday, Sept. 17 in Bloomfield Hall from 7:30 to 9:30. Interested singers may contact Moira Forrester at 9685049 or Greg Garrett, at 476- 4148.

He has devoted several books to life in Algonquin Park and especially artist, Tom Thomson. His most recent book, Canoe Country: The Making of Canada for Random House in 2015 has been hugely successful.

The recipient of multiple awards for his writing, he won the prestigious Rutstrum Award, given every five years to the best book on wilderness writing in North America in 2001 for his memoirs on his father, A Life in the Bush.

Also described as “the Wayne Gretzky of hockey writing” his sports writing has garnered him inclusion in several hockey and sports halls of fames.

In addition he is a multiple winner of national magazine awards, national newspaper awards and twice has been awarded the ACTRA “Nellie” as Canada’s top television dramatist.

In 2005 Roy MacGregor was named an Officer in the Order of Canada. He promises to be an most interesting speaker at the HCHS banquet, and how he connects the bumblebee and maple leaves will surprise you.

The banquet is at the Travelodge on Saturday, October 22. It will begin with a social hour at 6 p.m. and dinner follows at 7:15 p.m.

This year in response to several requests over the last few years, there will be a choice of main course entree: salmon or chicken, rather than the traditional prime rib.

Tickets at $65 are available at Quinte Arts Council and by calling Mary-Lynne Morgan (613-961-7091) or Richard Hughes (613-961-7772).

Andrews named new public board superintendent

*Metroland distribution area. Source: BrandSpark International Survey 2016. Story credit: simcoe.com

The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board has announced the hiring of Laina Andrews as the new Superintendent of Education – School Climate & Well-Being Services.

She is taking the place of Mark Fisher who accepted a role with the Durham District School Board in August.

“Laina is a dynamic educational leader with experience at the school and district levels. Her passion for excellence, equity and well-being was evident during the hiring process. All Board members gave their full support to Laina joining the senior leadership team and are looking forward to her becoming part of HPEDSB,” said board chair Dwayne Inch in a statement.

Andrews has been recognized for her depth of experience in designing,

implementing and monitoring successful teaching and learning environments, a statement from the board says.

She is known for her ability to create cohesive, collaborative teams who champion and achieve school and organizational goals. In addition, Andrews takes an inclusive approach to student well-being and engagement.

She is a proven leader with experience in accommodation reviews, developing parent-school-system communications, leveraging student achievement through technology, mentoring colleagues.

“Laina’s experiences make her wellsuited for this senior leadership role at HPEDSB. We’re looking forward to her contributions to our vision of all students prepared and empowered for the possibilities of today and tomorrow,”

said Mandy Savery-Whiteway, Director of Education.

Andrews obtained her Bachelor of Arts (Honours) at Mount Saint Vincent University, Bachelor of Education at Dalhousie University, Masters of Education at the University of Toronto, and her Principal and Supervisory Officer qualifications through the Ontario Principals’ Council.

Andrews comes to HPEDSB from the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board where she was a secondary school principal.

Andrews will transition into her new role over the next two weeks and officially join the HPEDSB on October 3, 2016.

Andrews lives in Northumberland County with her two children who are engaged in post-secondary endeavours.

Rummaging in the forest: A fall field day Have you ever rummaged through your closet and found those favourite, comfy old shoes? When you rummage through your woodlot, you find treasures too. Come to the Fall Forest Field Day in Tamworth (north of Napanee) and see the forest through the eyes of the experts.

On Oct. 1, the Ontario Woodlot Association (Quinte and Limestone Chapters) is offering a Saturday morning of forest activity – including field tours and games - in a unique location: the Kennedy Field Station just north of Tamworth on the Salmon River. Everyone is welcome, from 9am to 1pm.

What’s in a woodlot? A morning walking tour will examine pine plantations, mixed hardwoods, and the shoreline of the Salmon River with guides discussing tree and plant species, plantation management, and general forest health. The Kingston Field Naturalists will explain a “bio-blitz,” a comprehensive inventory of species, and Friends of the Salmon River will give advice about healthy shorelines.

Whatever your question: tree health, invasive species, horse logging, or something else forest-related, come out and talk to the experts.

A friendly competition will test your knowledge of species and forest

health; there are rumours of prizes of unbelievable value! A light lunch is provided and there are optional afternoon activities.

The Kennedy Field Station is a very distinctive place north of Tamworth at 669 County Road 15. Recently

entrusted to Queen’s University, it is now used as a site for ground water studies. Join us and learn the history of the site and the current Queen’s program. Come and rummage in a splendid forest.

Registration is required.

OWA members are free; the cost for non-members is $10 (including lunch).

To register, contact Dave at sexsmithd@ gmail.com (613-373-9334), or Susan at susan@moorepartners.ca (613-3795958). Also visit www.ontariowoodlot. com.

This event is the first in an educational series called “The Full Value of Woodlots,” offered by the Ontario Woodlot Association in concert with Friends of the Salmon River and the Lennox & Addington Stewardship Council.

Important to know importance of grasslands An Alvar and Grassland Stewardship Workshop took place on Tuesday, September 20 at Roblin Wesleyan Church in Roblin, Ontario, hosted by the Napanee Plain Initiative group.

The Workshop was very well attended. About 75 participants learned the relevance of the unique plants and specific wildlife that live in this habitat.

Specialists from Wildlife Preservation Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service, Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement, and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry explained the programs that support alvar and grassland conservation.

Land management for grassland birds (such as the Shrike, Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark) and provincial grassland initiatives for farmers and landowners were well examined.

The field trip was a big hit as everyone explored three local alvar sites in Roblin, Newburgh and Odessa. At Newburgh, this was a good opportunity to view an actual stewardship project – shrike protection - by local landowners.

For more information, contact Susan Moore from the Lennox & Addington Stewardship Council at 613-379-5958 or lastewardship@ gmail.com

More than 75 people turned out for a grassland stewardship workshop last Tuesday at Roblin.

Water crisis to be topic of Oct. 3 Barlow talk Belleville - World-renowned author and activist Maude Barlow will visit Belleville on Monday, October 3rd for a public presentation on “Canada’s Water Crisis”.

The event will be held at Eastminster United Church, 432 Bridge Street East, at 6:30 p.m.

“We are delighted that Maude Barlow is able to bring her depth of knowledge and recent experience as Senior Advisor on Water at the United Nations to a Quinte area audience,” says Dr. Aruna Alexander, President of the Quinte Branch of the United Nations Association in Canada, which is hosting this event. “Seating is limited in the auditorium, so we encourage those interested in attending to reserve tickets (cost is $12) as soon as possible by e-mailing the branch at unac. quintebranc@gmail.com.”

The event is presented in partnership with the Council of Canadians Quinte and the Canadian Federation of University Women, Belleville & District.

Maude Barlow is the National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians

and chairs the board of Washington-based Food and Water Watch. She is a board member of the San Francisco–based International Forum on Globalization and a Councilor with the Hamburg-based World Future Council. Barlow served as the Senior Advisor on Water to the 63rd President of the United Nations General Assembly and was a leader in the campaign to have water recognized as a human right by the UN. The recipient of fourteen honorary doctorates and many awards, including the 2009 Earth Day Canada Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award, the 2009 Planet in Focus Eco Hero Award, and the 2011 EarthCare Award, the highest international honour of the Sierra Club (US), Maude Barlow is also the author of dozens of reports and eighteen books.

Her latest book is entitled “Boiling Point: Government Neglect, Corporate Abuse, and Canada’s Water Crisis.”
