Brighton – Owners of the Presqu’ile Beach Motel say they want answers following a fire that damaged several rooms there this August.

John and Valerie Campey have operated the Presqu’ile Beach Motel for about 41 years now.

“We’re offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible,” said John, on Monday, Oct. 16.

John believes someone may be responsible for the fire, which started sometime after 11 p.m., on Sunday, Aug. 27. Damages were previously reported at an estimated $300,000, with about nine rooms on the east side of the motel affected by the fire.

“This has caused us a lot of grief,” said John, who added the motel is still suffering financially, as those rooms affected by the fire still cannot be rented out.

The owner says he left feeling as though “this is all we can do now” by issuing the reward.

The motel has complied completely with all fire and building regulations, he said.

“We’re never had anything like this happen in 41 years,” he added.

John recently put up reward posters at the local grocery stores, which state if more than one person comes

forward; the $10,000 will be shared equally. He’s pleading for anyone to come forward and to contact him directly at the motel.

“All information will be treated with the highest confidence,” the

poster reads.

The fire is still under investigation, Brighton’s deputy fire chief Rick Caddick confirmed Monday.

The Ontario Fire Marshal’s office is still looking into it and no further

details will be available until their official findings are complete, said Caddick. It’s the owners’ decision to issue the reward and there’s no confirmation of arson or anything of that sorts at this time, he said.

forcement on Highway 401 in Brighton measured a Ford F150 travelling 157 kilometres per hour in the eastbound lanes. The driver, a 19-year-old Clarington man, was charged with stunt driving — excessive speed and driving while under suspension. The truck was towed from the highway and impounded for seven days.

Oct. 6 A Brighton resident on Oliphant Street reported all four of her car’s tires had been slashed sometime overnight.

Police responded to four mental health-related calls in Hamilton Township, Brighton and Trent Hills, resulting in all involved individuals being taken to a hospital as they posed a danger to themselves or others.

An investigation has been launched into the discovery of a six-inch weapon made in prison that was seized by corrections officers at Warkworth Institution on Oct. 4. Charges are pending.

Northumberland OPP officers also investigated 10 accidental 911 calls, 12 motor vehicle collisions and 70 trafficrelated complaints over the Thanksgiving weekend. They also conducted four RIDE programs.

Northumberland OPP ask that anyone with information concerning the theft of the ATV and the slashing of the tires to call the nearest OPP detachment. To remain anonymous, call the Peterborough/Northumberland Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) where you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 and not have to appear in court.

Oct. 9 A mother with two small children travelling through the area called Northumberland OPP at 1 a.m. after finding herself lost in downtown Brighton looking for gas. Officers followed her to Trenton where she found an open gas station.

Officers conducting a RIDE program on County Road 30 in Brighton around 3:40 p.m. stopped a Dodge Journey which led to a 24-year-old Campbellford resident being charged with driving while under suspension. A properly licensed passenger drove the vehicle away from the scene.

Oct. 8 Police responded to a family dispute over visitation with children that broke out during a Thanksgiving dinner in Campbellford. Loud arguing could be heard from the roadway when officers arrived. All the people involved were spoken to and they agreed to calm down. No charges were laid and no further calls to that address were received.

A homeowner on Goacher Road in Trent Hills reported the theft sometime overnight of an older black Suzuki four-wheeler ATV that was not plated.

Local actor represents Brighton in Montreal musical

BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — Brighton resident Ian Simpson will join an all-star Canadian cast this month as they bring centre ice to the stage in Montreal, Que. The actor and singer auditioned and secured his role as Father Delisle in the musical The Hockey Sweater at the start of 2017.

“In its entirety, I’d say this story is really about acceptance, which certainly people can relate to in our present day,” said Simpson in a telephone interview from Montreal last weekend, as he and the cast started rehearsals in late September.

Based on the short story by Roch Carrier, the tale has long been a treasured Quebec piece, but also considered a “quintessential Canadian classic.”

The reinvention of the tale into a modernday musical is a first and there will be actual skating on stage, which may also be a first.

“That’s a question I get asked a lot, considering the show is about hockey,” said Simpson. “It’s being done in a truly ingenious way too, people will just have to see how that’s done and I can’t say I’ve ever heard of that happening before.”

Commissioned and produced by the Segal Centre for Performing Arts, the Canadian Ian Simpson. production is directed and choreographed

by Stratford Festival hitmaker Donna Feore “… He’s very much a pillar for his comand also features Emil Sher and Jonathan munity and this young boy [Carrier] looks Monro as part of the creative team.

The trio is widely known for their work up to him,” said Simpson.

Originally published in 1979, The Hockey and when Simpson saw these names attached to the show, he knew right away this Sweater recalls Carrier’s real-life childhood was something he had to be a part of, he hockey mishaps during the winter of 1946.

Like many young people in small towns, a said.

“This is something that’s brand new and budding Carrier and his friends lived for one never been done before … so, it’s been both thing only — hockey.

“They idolize the Montreal Canadiens' exciting and exhilarating to be a part of new star player Maurice Richard, each emulatpiece like this,” he said.

Simpson, who’s well known in Brighton for his work and for his and Stephanie Bird’s annual Christmas production, has worked • Elite • Graber • Hunter Douglas with Feore before on the Sound of Music.

small, and his mom insists he gets a new one.

His mom doesn’t speak English and orders a new jersey, but what arrives is a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater, said Simpson.

And that’s kind of the kernel of the show and she’s too proud to send it back, Simpson continued.

The young Carrier is forced to wear “enemy colours,” while all his friends’ wear their Habs shirts and he “must learn the importance of what’s in your heart, even when it’s not on your sleeve.”

For some they may find it a little cute and funny, but it’s also sad when you think of this young boy and your heart breaks a little, said Simpson.

Meanwhile the young lad looks to Simpson in his role for guidance and to find his lesson in this story. Though perhaps the Father also has something to learn and some things he needs to face up to, “but I don’t want to give away too much,” said Simpson.

The musical will showcase these people’s journey and the obstacles they have to overcome, Simpson said.

The show premières Thursday, Oct. 19, running until Nov. 12.

‘Emergency’ at Premier Tech provides learning experience

BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — It started with the smell of gas detected on the main production floor at the Loyalist Drive Premier Tech building.

The company wasted no time evacuating the building and made the call for help. But four employees didn’t make it to the meeting area in the main parking lot out front of the building.

One of the employees had been stacking drums in the warehouse, outside of the flammable filling production area. That’s when two drums fell off a pallet and one drum ruptured the main gas line, another ruptured the low-pressure steam line from the boiler.

Product was leaking out of the drums onto the warehouse floor, but the driver didn’t know. He got off the lift truck to see what had happened.

It was then, the low-pressure steam burned him and he fell unconscious from the gas fumes.

Another three workers in the north production filling area of the building were still at work; they didn’t hear the call for evacuation. Soon, they were disoriented from the leaking gas fumes.

The Brighton Fire Department, Union Gas, Northumberland County paramedics and police arrived on the scene and knew none of this — all they know is, four employees are un-

accounted for and the building smells of gas.

This was the scenario emergency responders were faced with this year, as Premier Tech recently asked responders to participate in a mock emergency exercise at the facility.

“They’re completely blind when the

mier Tech produces a professional line of products — pesticide license is needed in order to purchase.

With these materials, it’s important these mock emergency scenarios are run through, said Somerville.

Premier Tech invites emergency responders, as well as employees and the company’s own emergency response team (ERT) to participate in the exercises every other year, for about 14 years now.

“A big part of this is community awareness,” said Somerville. “It’s helpful for us and especially with outside agencies for them to be aware of the products we produce here in our facility. This is certainly something we look forward to doing with a different scenario every other year.”

As employees and emergency responders participate in the exercise, the hope is areas for improvement can be identified.

That’s one of the biggest reasons the company continues to host the exercise, said Somerville. Putting it all down on paper is one thing, but it’s totally different when it’s physically being acted out and people are involved in the exercise and “you’re watching this scenario unfold,” she said.

Following the conclusion of the exercise all those involved review how things went.

This year’s exercise was “very successful,” said Somerville, who noted this was the first year Union Gas participated. “They said they were quite impressed.”

Planning for the unexpected helps the company to maintain high standards when it comes to safety and helps people to better understand their roles in an emergency, said Somerville.

For others, it’s important they’re familiar with the building layout, as well

they come in here, they have absolutely no idea what they’re walking into,” said Jackie Somerville, a quality technician for the company.

Premier Tech has been operating in Brighton for more than 35 years, with 20 of them in chemical manufacturing for the lawn, garden and agricultural industries.

The company houses a number of flammable and combustible materials and on any given month, Somerville estimates there could be around 30 different types of these materials present.

“Lawn care products are our main forte here,” she said. “So, the Wilson product brands you’d find at Canadian Tire or Walmart, a big bulk of our work goes there (to those places).”

MPP defends raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour tend the length of time to get to that $15 an hour” to give businesses time to adjust?

Jack Oliver, general manager of Empire Cheese, asked the same question.

“It's going to affect us quite a bit ... The big guys (in the cheese industry who are largely automated) aren't going to have to put their price up, we are. It's the only way we can make up the difference ... It will be a shock.”

Oliver pointed out a higher minimum wage will also mean employees with more experience and responsibilities will be looking for a pay raise as well.

“That's why we're looking to offsets” to help businesses cope with what will be a “substantial shift,” Rinaldi responded. “Certainly, we want to be able to try to help the best we can.”

The “opportunity” to raise the minimum wage by such a large amount is now while the economy is “somewhat hot,” he said. “We think that we can afford this.”

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Warkworth — MPP Lou Rinaldi says his Liberal government is committed to helping businesses adjust to the minimum wage being raised from $11.40 an hour to $15 by Jan. 1, 2019.

The Ministry of Finance is currently “going through the math” to “come up with a whole menu of potential offsets” that will help employers “transition to the new regime,” he told members of the Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce at a recent breakfast meeting.

The MPP for NorthumberlandQuinte West said “there's been somewhat of a shift” in attitude among business owners in recent weeks toward the proposed wage increase contained in Bill 148, which was introduced in June and will, after amendments, become legislation before the end of the year.

Rinaldi said he was told by the owner of a large grocery store in the riding that he will have to raise the price of every item by one to two cents to cover higher labour costs, but he didn't see it as a burden if offsets are provided.

Also, he won't “have to worry about (his) competitor down the street because he's faced with the same circumstance,” Rinaldi added.

“It's not that they think the problems are all solved, there are still some issues,” he said, but with the assistance the government is looking to offer,

“we'll able to bridge that.”

Rinaldi said “the economy has rebounded” since the recession of 200809, but “not everybody has been able to have a piece of that pie.”

Ten per cent of Ontarians depend on minimum wage to survive, which “is really scary stuff ” because “the living wage” is around $16 an hour, he said.

“There are people working two, three part-time jobs” to get by, and “a percentage of them are probably collecting some kind of social assistance,” he said.

“The majority of businesses we talk to, they don't deny that something has to be done,” said Jeff Hamilton, chair of the local chamber, but “why not ex-

MPP Lou Rinaldi said his government will do the best it can to help businesses cope with a substantial increase in Ontario's minimum wage.

OPINION

Corporate snakes slither in Sears wake

Adult supervision needed at White House Here’s the scenario. Late one evening Donald Trump is watching Fox News and a report comes on that North Korea is planning to launch a missile that can reach the United States. (Kim Jongregime has said Gwynne Dyer un’s it is going to do that one of these days – but only as a test flight landing in the ocean somewhere, not as an attack.)

Trump misunderstands, and thinks Pyongyang is going to launch a missile at the United States. After all, there was a graphic with the report that shows the trajectory of the North Korean missile reaching the US, and Trump trusts Fox much more than his own intelligence services. So he orders all US strategic forces to go to DEFCON 1: Defence Readiness Condition One – nuclear war is imminent.

The North Koreans spot all the unusual activity in the American forces – leave cancelled in Strategic Air Command, US nuclear subs in port sailing with zero warning leaving part of their crews behind, etc. – and conclude that an American preemptive attack is imminent.

The North Koreans go to their own equivalent of DEFCON 1: mobilizing and dispersing their armed forces, evacuating their leadership from the capital to some bunker in the countryside, and so on. American intelligence reports all this activity, and this time Trump actually listens to them. So he orders a disarming strike on all North Korean nuclear weapons and facilities. With US nuclear weapons, of course. Nothing else would do the job.

That’s how the Second Korean War starts.

Not many Americans would be killed, and probably no civilians, because in fact North Korea doesn’t yet have any long-range missiles that can accurately deliver nuclear weapons on the United States, but millions would die in both parts of Korea. With luck, the Chinese would stay out even as their North Korean ally is reduced to rubble.

It’s just a scenario, but it’s one that keeps many people awake at night – including many senior people in the US military. That’s why reports have been surfacing recently that the US Secretary of Defence, General James Mattis, the National Security Adviser, General H.R McMaster, and Trump’s Chief of Staff, General John Kelly, have made a secret

pact that all three will never be abroad at the same time.

Why not? Because at least one very senior military officer must always be in the country to monitor orders coming from the White House, and countermand them if necessary.

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of these reports, but I believe them. I was already assuming that some arrangement like that was in place. Mattis, McMaster and Kelly are serious, experienced and professional military officers, and it would be a dereliction of duty for them not to ensure that there is always at least one responsible adult between Trump and the nuclear button.

If one of these generals actually found himself in the position of having to stop Trump, he would face an agonizing decision.

All his training tells him that he must obey civilian authority, and he will certainly be court-martialled if he disobeys a presidential order. On the other hand, he must not allow millions of human beings to die because of a stupid mistake.

I’m sure they think about it, and I doubt that any of them knows which way he would actually jump if the situation arose. Providing adult supervision is a tricky business, especially when the child is technically your superior.

And having said all this, it occurs to me that some senior military officers in North Korea must face the same dilemma. They too have a child-man in charge, and they will be all too aware that if “little rocket man”, as Trump calls him, stumbles into a war with the United States, then they, their families, and practically everybody they have ever met will be killed.

Their dilemma is even worse, because they serve a petulant god-king who has the power of life and death over them and their families. To stop Kim Jong-un, if he were about to make a fatal mistake, they would have to kill him and accept that they would almost certainly be killed themselves immediately afterwards. Would they actually do that?

They don’t even know the answer to that themselves, but I‘m sure they think about it.

There is probably not going to be a Second Korean War. Probably neither set of senior officers is ever going to face this ultimate crisis. A subtle form of adult supervision is exercised on a daily basis in both capitals, because even the loosest of loose cannons has to work through other people in order to get his orders turned into actions.

But things have come to a pretty pass when we can have this discussion without sounding crazy.

Editorial by Chris Malette This editorial is being written in the cavernous, mostly empty shell of the former Nortel building.

You remember Nortel? The corporate goliath that was the world-beating electronics and research leader that saw its infancy in the former Northern Electric, which begat Northern Telecom which eventually became the global rock star known as Nortel.

It all went pffffft! in a spectacular cloud of corporate greed and mismanagement.

Look at the headlines today in Belleville. Sears – Sears of all companies – is dissolving like butter in a skillet after several years of, wait for it… corporate greed and mismanagement.

Why, in this region alone, between the corporate losses of Nortel and Sears in Belleville and GE in Peterborough, upwards of 3,000-well paying jobs – jobs with good pay, healthy benefits and pensions – have gone into the ether.

That’s a heavy blow for any part of the country, let alone one without a particularly dense manufacturing sector.

But, the boardroom bandits will have made out okay, you can bet. It’s not anti-capitalistic commie-speak to deride the sorts of individuals who have gutted companies like Nortel and Sears while lining their pockets with multi-million dollar dividends and payouts. This isn’t a knock on free enterprise, it’s a call for a bounty on the types of corporate players, weasels and manipulators who play roulette with the lives of people who counted on those jobs, pensions and benefits. All that’s left in their wake, after all, are shelf-stocking zombie jobs at places like dollar stores with not a sniff of dental care or a pension in sight.

Toronto Star business columnist David Olive painted a grim picture of the most evil among the players in the downfall of Sears and Sears Canada’s decision last week to begin liquidating all its Canadian assets.

Eddie Lampert, 55, is a U.S. hedge fund manager who has long controlled Chicago-based Sears Holdings and is still the largest shareholder in its Canadian affiliate, Sears Canada. Lampert, said Olive, “has a demonstrated incompetence in retailing with few equals in the annals of North American merchandizing.” But, he’s making out like a bandit in the collapse of the company he’s ridden into the dust.

According to Business Insider, Lampert has blamed the company’s decline on everything from shifts in consumer spending to the rise of e-commerce, and even — at times — the weather. More recently, he’s taken to attacking the media, saying reports speculating on a Sears bankruptcy are thwarting his efforts to turn the business around.

“Every time people use the word bankruptcy,

DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Paul Mitchell 613-966-2034 ext 508 SALES MANAGER Melissa Hudgin 613-966-2034, ext 504 ADVERTISING SALES Jean Convey, 613-966-2034, ext 527 Tim Sheppard, 613-966-2034, ext 528 Morgan Scott, 613-966-2034 ext 518

somebody who reads that doesn’t get past that word,” he told the Chicago Tribune in a recent interview. “It makes it very unfair for us, and it’s a very uneven playing field for us.”

Sears Canada having struggled for so long – its liquidation follows four straight years of losses – makes it possible to miss how significant a place on the retail landscape Sears Canada has occupied.

Deeply-rooted in Canada, having launched in the 1950s, Sears Canada at the time of its death had a sprawling network of big-city and suburban department-stores, a network of small-town catalogue distribution outlets and the renowned Wish Book catalogue.

While 2,900 Sears Canada employees are losing their jobs, benefits and pension plans, the company’s CEO and senior managers are getting bonuses.

The managers are receiving retention bonuses over the next few months, under Sears Canada’s Key Employee Retention Plan (KERP). It was approved by the Ontario Superior Court last week when it also approved the company’s liquidation plans.

The terminated employees, meanwhile, will not be getting any severance pay and will lose all benefits and pension plans. Court documents show many examples of terminated employees who have written their concerns about the lay offs.

“I am one of the Sears employees having a termination without severance,” said one. “I am 60 years old and have been employed 34.74 years

by Sears Canada. I’ve always held a manager or assistant-manager position. The recent turn of events has seriously threatened the financial security and health of my family. The loss of severance is a significant loss.”

Some 20 years ago, there was hoopla and fanfare like few could remember in Belleville – save perhaps the days when the city went on a threeday bender when the hockey Macs brought home the world championship – when Sears built the massive catalogue distribution centre.

There were grand feasts, spectacular toasts, that only matched the Herculean construction job that took almost two years to complete to build one of the most state-of-the-art wired warehouses in the country.

In the end, nothing worked to save that marvel of modern retailing or the jobs that came with it.

But the top execs and hedge fund investors lined their pockets as employees in places like Belleville’s Quinte Mall store and the catalogue distribution centre started nervously watching mid-level managers eye the door for a safe, fast get-away.

Brighton’s Own:

Tackling the ‘three monsters of cancer’

Photo by Vic Schukov

They Sauciers both volunteer at Victory for Animals shelter, and are active in Trinity St. Andrew’s Church.

Last month, they started a Brighton cancer support group: “Our goal,” said Carol. “is to get people together who are either going through cancer treatment or are done, and also their care-givers. We encourage people to do different things to escape from the cancer bubble. During my treatment, we met so many wonderful and brave people. At the end, I felt that I had to give something back. I tell cancer patients: A butterfly doesn’t see her wings, but everyone else sees her beauty.

Ron added, “At our meetings, we brainstorm topics dear to people’s hearts like what do I do now?

What’s my next step? Or I have a friend who has been diagnosed with cancer, what should I do and

say? We meet people in different stages, some are angry, some are in denial. With cancer, there is the physical problem, the emotional and the spiritual problem. Carol and I call them The Three Monsters. People need a shoulder or an ear, and we are here to provide that with no judgement on our part.”

The next support group meeting is on October 19th at Trinity St. Andrew’s Church Community Hall, at 730 pm. Info: 613 439 9547.

It is widely accepted that nurses and teachers place extremely high on the scale of honourable and humanistic professions, caretakers of our minds and bodies. Between them, Ron and Carol Saucier have served compassionately in both trenches, so to speak.

Carol, born in Montreal, moved to Ottawa in 1985, where she met Ron through a friend that said to him, “I think that I have the perfect lady for you.” According to Carol, “He called me and, first of all, we were on the phone for a week, an hour at a stretch. I liked his voice. When I finally met him I said to myself, Okay.”

Ron added, “We met at a restaurant, and sat until they kicked us out. I fell in love with her right there and then and knew we were going to get married. I loved her personality. She had a sense of humour. And she had the ability to keep a conversation going in an intelligent way.”

The couple got married two years later. Ron taught high school in the Ottawa Valley for 23 years, retiring in 2008. Carol went back to school and became a pharmacy technician, then a registered practical nurse, and finally a practicing RN for 12 years.

The Sauciers came to Brighton in 2012. It was Ron’s suggestion: “I did some research and we came here and just fell in love with the area. Carol always said she wanted to live near water, so it’s no longer Lake Ontario. It’s Lake Carol (laughing.)”

In 2015, Ron went through seven and a half weeks of (successful) radiation treatment for prostate cancer: “When the doctor told me the diagnosis, I said to him, ‘Okay how am I going to beat this? Tell me what the steps are.’ He said that’s the attitude to have, and I said that’s the attitude I do have. I said let’s get started (laughing.)

He said, ‘Give me a chance to call the other doctors.’ The experience hasn’t changed my philosophy at all, which is just live life as best you can.”

Carol got breast cancer last year, and recently completed her treatments: “When I went in, I said I little prayer asking, Please take care of the doctors and nurses taking care of me. Then a calm came over me suddenly. I don’t take anything for granted, and always live every day.”

Demand booming for Barns of Brighton 2018 calendars

BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — The Barns of Brighton 2018 calendar project appears to have touched many Brightonians.

“We anticipated a positive response, but it was beyond our expectations,” said Catherine Stutt, one of four Brighton Digital Archives (BDA) volunteers.

The calendar is part of a larger initiative known as the Brighton Barn Project, which the BDA group started to ensure Brighton’s farming history would live on in years to come.

The group just recently celebrated the completion and launch of the calendar project, alongside volunteer photographers as they showcased their work for the calendar during a gathering outside the picturesque Archer Farm on County Road 30.

Following the celebratory gathering — which invited volunteer photographers involved in the Brighton Barn Project, barn owners, members from the Brighton heritage advisory committee and other dignitaries — a limited number of calendars were made available to residents.

Stutt said about 550 calendars were printed. A few were given to the photographers and owners of the barns featured in the calendar, and then some were reserved for residents and distributed at Applefest and the municipal office later on.

“Both distribution spots were depleted within a few hours and people continue to come into the municipal office asking for the calendars,” said Stutt.

The idea behind the Brighton Barn Project is to give people, in 50 to 100 years, an idea of the evolution of farming and what Brighton’s farming life once looked like. The group’s goal is to preserve Brighton barns in digital format, as local barns are

disappearing.

The calendar project was also dedicated to David Down, who recently died. The well-known local farmer had served as co-chair for the Brighton Barn Project.

The dedication was the group’s way of honouring Down’s contribution to the project.

But another important part of this calendar

project was the promotion of Brighton, said Stutt.

And since the launch of the calendar, Stutt and others have heard residents have been making driving tours through rural Brighton, trying to find the barns featured in the calendar.

With such a positive response to the project and residents still inquiring about the calendar, Stutt approached Deputy Mayor Laura Vink, who sits on website.

the Brighton heritage advisory committee, to see if it was at all possible to have more calendars made.

The BDA is a volunteer-based group and the heritage committee had previously funded distribution for calendars.

Working with municipal staff, the deputy mayor and staff were able to find some funds through the tourism budget, Vink has confirmed.

“It’s a great calendar — it’s absolutely beautiful,” said Vink. “Tons of volunteer hours went into this project and we’re hearing people are taking tours of Brighton to find the barns. It’s great promotion for Brighton and honestly, promotion at its best thanks to the volunteers behind this project.

"Really, the volunteers did everything to get this calendar out, it was just the cost of printing they needed help with.”

Another two distribution events are now in the works. Calendars will be distributed Monday, Oct. 23, at 35 Alice St. from 10 a.m. to noon. There will also be some calendars available at the Codrington Farmers’ Market on Oct. 22, from 10 a.m. to noon.

The 2018 wall calendar gives people a glimpse into the work being done through the Brighton Barn Project and features 14 local barns, which represent a cross-section of barn styles.

Volunteers have been photographing all barns within the municipality for the project. The barns are not only showcased through the calendar, but also online via the BDA website: vitacollections.ca/ brightonarchives.

Volunteers are currently in the process of attaching historical information to the barns photographed and posting those images and stories to the

Cramahe exhibit offers a broad view of the 1800s locally and abroad Colborne – Heritage Cramahe’s newest exhibit takes a look at the 1800s that goes beyond what was happening locally to include the world.

“Simple words or even events presented without context do not convey much meaning,” Robin Young, the chair of Heritage Cramahe, said in a news release announcing the group’s upcoming exhibit, “19th Century Timeline - Cramahe, Canada, World!”, in the Heritage Room of the Colborne

Art Gallery, “As Cramahe’s century homes were being erected and the settlement was growing into a vibrant community, many important events were happening locally, nationally and internationally,” Young said.

In 1812, for example, when some of the first permanent structures were being carved out of the Cramahe forests by the United Empire Loyalist settlers, the British and American navies were

engaged in battle on Lake Ontario, “adding political uncertainty and fear for personal security to the already monumental task” the pioneers faced housing and feeding their families, Heritage Cramahe said in its release.

1865 was a boom year for development in Cramahe Township, according to land use records, with sturdy houses being built by the township’s blacksmiths, grocers and carriage makers, That same year Abraham Lincoln,

the president of the United States, was assassinated, and the first Atlantic cable was completed, revolutionizing international communications.

Heritage Cramahe mounted parts of this exhibit for a previous Heritage Day but this time the displays provide a broader context.

“Many visitors took the time to read a lot of the detail in the previous exhibit and now we have given them more substance,” Young said, such as the causes

and effects of the 1837 Rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada, and the cholera epidemic in Quebec in 1832.

The range of subjects includes politics, business, science and the arts.

After an opening reception Oct. 19, starting at 7 p.m., the show will run Thursdays to Sundays, from noon to 4 p.m., until early December.

The free admission includes the current show at the Colborne Art Gallery, 51 King St. E.

BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — Details surrounding access to Ontario Early Years Centre (OEYC) programs for local residents appears to have been sorted out, at least for the remainder of 2017.

Last week, YMCA Northumberland announced the Colborne Public School OEYC was officially now open and also that OEYC programs would be offered at the Brighton Children’s Centre, which is housed at Brighton Public School.

As of August, there was no longer a permanent Brighton-based OEYC, with the centre slated to move to Colborne as a result of policy changes stemming from the Ministry of Education.

The Brighton-based OEYC was formerly housed in the Brighton Health Services Centre with the YMCA. It was unknown in August exactly when the Colborne-based centre would start operating in September, though, it was anticipated the centre would open in either the first or second week of the month.

The YMCA has now released details for the new centre. Hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., Wednesdays from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. and on Fridays the centre will be open from 9 a.m. until noon.

Those looking for more information are asked to call 905-376-3387.

Northumberland County had previously been collaborating with Brighton Public School, in an effort to negotiate options for OEYC programs to be offered at the school. The hope was at least some programs could be kept in Brighton.

the OEYC hubs based in local schools.

Last week, the YMCA confirmed early years’ programs will be offered at the children’s centre in Brighton. Hours of operation are as follows: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, from 9 a.m. until noon. Residents are asked to call the Brighton Children’s Centre on 613-4751811 for more information.

Grade 10 ENSS student is ‘Mayor for the Day’

BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton – A Grade 10 ENSS student has got an insider’s perspective after spending last Monday as ‘Mayor for the Day.’ Jolene Bishop spent her after school time last Monday, on a tour with Brighton Mayor and Northumberland County Warden Mark Walas, learning about local government and the various roles and responsibilities within the municipality. She also helped kick off Monday’s council meeting, as part of Local Government Week in Brighton and shared her experience with the public.

“After school today, I had the privilege of being escorted by Mayor Walas, where I was able to view the various aspects of the municipality,” she told attendees at Monday’s meeting. “In doing so, I was able to learn about the different departments within the municipality.”

Jolene visited the municipal offices, the water treatment plant and industrial park as part of her tour and also spent time chatting and learning from Brighton staffers.

“From these visits, I learned about our wells and water systems and the different roles of the employees here…” said Jolene. “Overall, it was very informative and I’d like to thank you, Mayor Walas, for the opportunity,” said the Grade 10 student, as she concluded her reflection of her day spent walking in the mayor’s shoes.

ciation for you coming out today,” said Walas.

“Congratulations and it’s well deserved.”

Local Government Week, which aims to increase youth and public awareness about the important role local governments play in Ontario communities, takes place this year from Oct. 15

to Oct. 21. Annually, Brighton embraces the week by inviting students to tour the municipality and speak with staffers and members of council, and one student gets the chance to participate in what the municipality calls, ‘Mayor for the Day.’

The experience helps to shine a light “on what it is exactly we do here,” said Walas.

Leading up to Local Government Week, another 20 to 30 students from East Northumberland Secondary School and Pamela Vanderburg’s civics class visited with the mayor and staff, so they could learn about government at both the municipal and county levels and the responsibilities that come with governance.

Out of that came a series of questions from the students, most of which came not at the time, but through a series of e-mails and following that, Vanderburg recommended Jolene participate this year as ‘Mayor for the Day,’ explained Walas.

It’s increasingly important that people have an understanding surrounding municipal government and not only to understand the governance model of council and staff, but to get an idea of the many and varied types of assets the municipality has and the complexity around the operations of those assets, said Walas.

Walas hopes the exposure and experience for students may be helpful as youth carve out their career paths and options down the road.

There are a lot of options for careers at the municipal level, there are the environmental and administrative sides, there is engineering and planning too, said Walas. And perhaps too often, students aren’t looking at those types of careers in municipal government, added the mayor.

He hopes by Brighton shining a light on some of those roles, it may give students a better idea of how a municipal career could work for them one day.

Candidate hopes to repeat history It’s Time.

When you’re always worried about how mom’s doing. Let Seasons help.

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Port Hope — David Piccini beat out former MPP Rob Milligan as the choice of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario to run in the new riding of Northumberland-Peterborough South, and now he's looking to do what Milligan did in 2011 — unseat current office-holder Lou Rinaldi.

The Port Hope resident likes his chances: “After 14 years of this tired and self-interested government, Ontarians have really lost faith” in the Liberals and “do not trust” Premier Kathleen Wynne.

“Ontarians want change.”

The ruling party has been plagued by controversy, such as cancellation of the gas plant projects and the soaring cost of energy, which it has tried to stem by reducing hydro bills in the short term but will cost ratepayers more in the long run.

Piccini said he supports increasing the minimum wage but to raise it from $11.40 an hour to $15 by Jan. 1, 2019, as the Liberals propose to do, is “too fast” and it was done without consulting businesses.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business “was left out of the first round of consultation” and was brought into the process only after it and the Opposition “made a stink about that.”

“How do you ignore the largest association in Canada representing businesses (when making) such a drastic change?” Piccini asked.

It's an “out-of-touch government” that is trying “to cling to power and is no longer governing in the best interests of our community.”

Piccini said Rinaldi, who has been Liberal MPP for the area since 2014 and 11 of the last 14 years, “is a good man, he's just running for the wrong party. He's

going to have some tough questions to answer come election time (next June). He's had a seat at the table when these decisions were made.”

Piccini, who's 29 and married, graduated from the University of Ottawa with a joint honours degree in political science and history.

He worked first as an international market analyst at Agriculture Canada and then as a policy adviser at Service Canada.

He served as an adviser in the office of then minister of international trade Ed Fast before trying his hand as a Tory candidate in 2015 but failed in his bid to oust Liberal MP Mauril Belanger, who had held the riding of Ottawa Vanier since 1995.

Piccini subsequently joined the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada as an adviser, providing advice on a full range of policy, business and operational issues related to the College's international activities.

Piccini said he has seen “first-hand the challenges the health-care system is facing” and based on that experience has concluded the government is “no longer listening” to the experts.

It's “taking the decision-making out of the hands of professional health-care professionals and placing it in the hands of bureaucrats. Ultimately that's not good for the patients.”

Piccini said he has a “sound understanding” of business, health care, education and trade as well as a solid work ethic.

“I've made an effort of getting out there and listening to everyone and speaking to key stakeholders in our community,” he said. “We're going to shake things up.”

It’s important supports are available at workplaces and having such supports in place also helps to reduce stigmas attached to mental health illnesses and issues, the health promoter insists.

Northumberland — Employers have the potential to make a real difference for someone who may be struggling with mental health issues, say public health officials.

This is also the message public health staffers are urging companies and organizations to consider during ‘Healthy Workplace Month’ this October.

“People need to feel safe in their workplaces — they spend eight to nine hours a day there,” said Lisa van der Vinne, a health promoter with the Haliburton, Kawartha,

Northumberland — Habitat for Humanity Northumberland is asking residents to help spread some Christmas magic in coming months.

An estimated 2,500 people in Northumberland currently need access to affordable housing, Habitat for Humanity Northumberland’s executive director Meaghan Macdonald recently reported.

The organization is asking residents to think about what it means to have a home this holiday season. The group is also reaching out to folks throughout the county who may be eager to help Habitat tackle the current affordable housing crisis.

Residents who are eager to lend the organization a hand

can help build houses in the coming weeks — more specifically, gingerbread houses.

“All proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards Habitat’s home building program,” staff said in a recent release and as the organization announced its third annual Habitat Gingerbread House Festival.

This year’s festival will run from Nov. 24, to Dec. 16., and includes all Northumberland communities.

Habitat is encouraging Northumberland schools, community groups and organizations, as well as bakeries and residents, to enter a “gingerbread creation for the festival.”

The idea is the decorated houses will create a type of ‘Gingerbread Trail’ throughout Northumberland. The

Donations for Habitat will be welcome at all ‘Gingerbread Trail’ locations.

On Dec. 16, winners will be drawn for the community decorated houses and the silent auction for professional entries will be closed. A panel of judges will also announce the top three winners from each decorating category on that date, with prizes and ribbons given to decorators. The homes should have a winter holiday theme. Cobourg residents are required to deliver their homes to the Habitat offices at 764 Division St., no later than Tuesday, Nov. 21. Entries from Brighton, Colborne, Warkworth, Port Hope and Grafton will be picked up and placed in those towns.

Those interested in participating should contact Heather Jopling for more details at 289252-0999 ext. 28 or by email at hjopling@habitatnorthumber-

houses will be set up in stores throughout the county and on display for people to follow and for shoppers to marvel at.

Those who follow the Gingerbread Trail can also enter their name into a draw to win their favourite gingerbread house, as the homes will later be raffled off or bid on.

Community groups and those interested in participating can use a bare gingerbread house as a starting point for their design and may pick up bare homes from Habitat’s admin. offices, from Nov. 13 to Nov. 18. (Hours are from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.). Professional entrants and school culinary departments are encouraged to build their entries from scratch.

The festival launches on Nov. 24, coinciding with Cobourg’s Christmas Magic tree lighting ceremony. Habitat volunteers will be distributing gingerbread cookie kits to kids attending the event.

There are a lot of free resources and tools as well as programs available to help employers, and the health unit can help guide companies and organizations to those tools, resources and programs, noted Van der Vinne.

“Just give us a call and we’ll start with a conversation,” said Van der Vinne.

Staff can talk with employers about what’s been done already and what maybe the employers’ needs, wants and questions are.

The health promoter encourages workplaces and employers to think of mental health in the same way as other health and safety issues.

“The mental health and safety of employees is just as important as their physical health and safety,” she said. “That’s just common sense, when you consider that both physical and mental factors can affect

Songs from the Heart for New Life Girls’ Home

BY ERIN STEWART

Belleville — Enjoy an evening of music in support of New Life Girls’ Home during the Songs from the Heart Gospel Concert at Maranatha Church in Belleville Nov. 18.

The Daughters of the King will perform along with Wendell Ferguson, Don Reed, Dan Washburn, Andy Schick, Kiley-Joe Masson and Frank Woodcock during the gospel concert, with all of the proceeds going to New Life Girls’ Home.

Debbie McLean, house and ministry co-ordinator at New Life Girls’ Home and member of the Daughters of the King alongside Kim Inch, said the second annual concert is important because the nonprofit organization has solely depended on support from businesses, community organizations, churches and individuals for 28 years.

New Life is a not-for profit Christian residential program for young women ages 18-30 who are struggling with life controlling issues like drug and alcohol addiction, sexual, mental, and physical abuse and mental health illnesses.

Its mission is to provide a safe place for young women with life controlling problems to experience healing and transformation through the love of Jesus.

“It’s close to my heart, I’ve dealt with a few mental health issues myself in regards to depression and personally I had a nervous breakdown a few years ago, and now I get to work with young women who have some similar issues that I can help,” said McLean.

New Life Girls’ Home is a large farmhouse located in Consecon, which can house nine women at a time. Depending on the situations, women can stay for four months or a full year program that has three semesters, said McLean.

“The majority of ladies do tend to stay for the year,” she said. “We work with the girls to get to the root issues so that they can heal, and move on with their lives and have a productive life,” she said.

“We do have girls that come here from with-

Lace up for the W8 Run

BY SUE DICKENS

Warkworth — Runners, walkers, joggers and budding athletes still in preschool are being invited once again to this Saturday’s W8 Run in Warkworth.

Serving up three races — an “eight-miler,” a five-kilometre and a kids one-kilometre — the W8 offers fun, safe opportunities for participants to take a foot tour of the scenic roads and trails around Warkworth on Oct. 21, all in support of The Bridge Hospice.

Now in its 13th year, the “allcomer” is well-organized, chiptimed, and famous for homebaked goodies for finishers and unique prizes for winners.

There has been a steady growth in the number of female participants, as well as runners from farther afield.

Last year, the W8 saw participants set a couple of records, including a record number of runners (130) and a total of $7,000 for the Bridge Hospice.

This year, organizers are hoping to top both those figures.

Online registration is now open online at www.thebridgehospice. com/events and on race day from 8 a.m. at the Warkworth arena.

The kids one-kilometre starts at 9 a.m., while the eight-miler and five-kilometre start at 9:15 a.m.

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

The program focuses on Christ-centred nurturing, intensive Christian education, one-onone coaching, life-skills training and community ministry opportunities.

28th regional “spinin” brings several guilds together

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford – Spinners and weavers gathered at St. John’s United Church hall Tues., Oct. 3 for the 28th annual regional “spinin”, a day that included shared expertise and interest in this ancient craft.

A variety of fibres for sale gave spinners the opportunity to stock up as the hall filled with members from many local clubs who brought their spinning wheels with them.

Hosted by the Warkworth Spinners and Weavers Guild participants came from as far away as Brockville and Bel-

leville, Prince Edward County and as close as Norwood, Havelock, Campbellford and of course, Warkworth.

This year Joan McCulloch, who has organized the regional spinin since it started, turned the task over to Grace Clare, of Campbellford, who has won many awards at the Royal Winter Fair for her sheep fibre.

In 2011 she won the Grand Champion Fleece Award and in 2012 she won the Reserve Champion Fleece Award.

Clare, whose sheep farm is called Shepherd’s Hill, had a table set up with her fibre which was for sale.

Changing our ‘Waste Line’!

She has been with the Warkworth group for 17 years.

Jill Purcell of Campbellford who has been a member of the Warkworth group since 2005 said she finds spinning to be very relaxing.

“I can fall asleep doing it,” she said laughing while spinning.

The “County Spinners” from Prince Edward County, most of whom are also members of the Belleville Spinners and Weavers Guild, were gathered in a group to socialize and spin.

Mary Connor of Picton, who is a newcomer to the guild said, “It’s a good group of women. I find it relaxing and you have control over the yarn you use, the colour and the projects you make.”

Karen Lammes of Cherry Valley said she finds spinning “very medita-

tive.” She makes mitts, hats, scarves and more.

The club’s president Diane Torney of Wellington has been a member of the guild since about 2003. “I love the colours of the different yarns,” she noted.

June Johnstone of the Belleville guild spoke of when she first began spinning. “I was a failure for nine of the 10 lessons I took way back in the 1970s but on the 10th I made a thread so I was overjoyed and I bought a spinning wheel. Once you get the knack it’s easy,” she said with a grin.

The Warkworth guild has about 40 members who get together the second Wednesday of each month at the library in Campbellford.

Northumberland County’s plans are moving ahead to divert 75% of all waste from our landfill over the long-term! Help do your part to reduce waste by using all of the many services in our ‘waste line’ for your disposables. And keep an eye out for our new Green Bin organics collection program, coming in 2019!

2014 - recycling facility upgrades

2015 - yard waste collection

2017 - expanded collection at transfer stations

2019 - organics collection

For more information, please visit www.northumberlandcounty.ca/WasteMasterPlan.

The (Prince Edward) County spinners, most of whom are also members of the Belleville guild, enjoyed the day-long spin: left to right, Sandra Emlaw of Milford; Marie Connor from Picton; and Karen Lammes of Cherry Valley.

Special Olympics Ontario holds soccer Northumberland having no luck after 60 minutes qualifying matches in Brighton

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Brighton – It was the Special Olympics in soccer mode at East Northumberland Secondary School last week.

About 90 students from places such as Kingston, Cobourg, Napanee and Campbellford took part in the event, which held at ENSS for the first time, said organizer Kimberly Leger, a special education teacher at the high school.

The qualifying tournament for the provincial championship was divided into three divisions, based on the abilities of the students who were taking part, from all grades.

“Special Olympics are for students who have developmental disabilities, all ranges,” Leger said.

Each team was guaranteed three games, which were played in two 10-minute halves on smaller soccer pitches laid out across the sports field with smaller nets. Each team was limited to four players and a goalie on the field at one time.

Approximately 60 ENSS main stream students assisted Leger in running the tournament held on Oct. 11, serving as ambassadors, referees and scorekeepers. Many helped out as leaders in the school’s Buddies and Mentors program.

“We’re super-excited to host this event today,” principal Charlotte Filip said. “This is something we wanted to do at ENSS for a long time. A

huge special shout-out to Kim Leger who has really spearheaded all this to happen.”

Filip said the school’s bocce ball team won gold at the Special Olympics last year with Leger as its leader.

Paul Grasby, school event developer with Special Olympics Ontario, said the organization holds 60 qualifying competitions across the province, from Thunder Bay to Cornwall to Windsor.

“It means just as much to the athletes as it does to our main stream volunteers,” he said.

Inclusivity is “what Special Olympics is all about. A lot of times it’s an opportunity for these athletes to put on their school colours. Usually they’re the ones in the stands cheering on, and now we’ve got their peers here cheering them on as they compete for their school.”

The top team from the Oct. 12 competition will advance to the provincial championships that will take place in Peterborough next May, hosted by the Peterborough Police Service and the public and Catholic school boards.

The results won’t be released until the middle of November, Grasby said.

“We like to contact the school and get the teacher and their administration approval before we announce who’s coming just so the athletes don’t get too excited and their parents if they’re not able to attend for some reason.”

Colborne — Overtime has not been kind to the Northumberland Stars.

Three of their four losses have come after regulation play, including a 4-3 defeat at home on Oct. 13 against the Oshawa Riverkings.

The Colborne squad out shot the visitors 45-34, but Oshawa's Jack Randall was named the game's first star with a 0.933 save percentage.

His teammates Ryan Dreossi and Liam Banavage were the game's two other stars, each potting two goals.

Northumberland overcame a 2-0 deficit with a pair of power-play goals less than two minutes apart in the second period. Andrew Pankhurst tallied the first one and assisted on Tyler Markin's.

Oshawa regained the lead midway through the third but Matt Davies at 18:31 sent the game into overtime where Banavage decided it for the Riverkings.

The Stars' Ilshat Zaripov stopped 30 of the 34 shots sent his way.

Northumberland suffered its first loss of the season in regulation on Oct. 14, 6-1 at home against the Bradford Bulls.

Brackin broke Liam Cooper's bid for a shutout with a goal at 15:24 of the third period. He leads the team with eight goals.

Northumberland (3-1-3) sits squarely in the middle of the South Division of the Greater Metro Jr. A Hockey League, with nine points, fewer than five teams above it, but more than five teams below it.

The Stars' next game at the Keeler Centre is on Oct. 20 against the Toronto Predators, who have been more prey than hunter, having won only once in eight games, bad enough for last place in the division.

Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Sweet success in Hershey: Belleville Senators win

Win column still blank for the Rebels

BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford — If adversity builds character, the Campbellford Rebels are grooming a group of remarkable young men.

A string of one-sided defeats certainly has tested their fortitude and still they show up week after week knowing the odds are stacked against them of ever winning a game. The team was crushed 14-1 at home by the first-place Napanee Raiders on Saturday and then 11-2 by the Jets in Amherstview the next day. The Rebels' record now stands at 0-9-0-0 in the East Todd Division

of the Provincial Junior Hockey League. The team has given up 103 goals while managing just eight in response. Discipline is another problem area. Campbellford has racked up 320 minutes in penalties, most in the division, which suggests their patience is growing thin as their frustrations mount.

Kurt Gibbs and Mac Giles scored for the Rebels in the loss to the Jets. Travis Frankland stopped 39 of 50 shots. Jordan Davis has the lone Campbellford goal in Saturday's match. It came on the power play at 8:41 of the third period. The

visitors fired 61 shots at the home team; Frankland stopped 30 of the 35 he faced, while Mike Ellis turned aside 17 of 26. Brady Cross was handed his second suspension of the season by the league, this time for one game.

Campbellford travels to Port Hope Oct. 19 to play the Panthers who hold down second spot.

Then it's back home Saturday for the Rebels. Their opponents will be the equally hapless Gananoque Islanders whose lone win, however, came against Campbellford, 10-3, on Sept. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

Belleville – Nine hundred and thirty-eight.

That’s the number of days that passed between wins by a hockey team of any relevance with the word “Belleville” in its name.

But hockey futility is over in this city: the Belleville Senators are in the win column after a 5-2 victory over the host Hershey Bears in American Hockey League action Saturday.

The team, which is debuting in Belleville this year two years after the city lost its Ontario Hockey League franchise, was winless in its first three regular-season games, including a 4-2 loss a night earlier to the host Syracuse Crunch.

That meant that heading into Saturday, 938 days had passed since the now defunct Belleville Bulls beat the Sudbury Wolves 6-3 in an OHL regular-season game on Saturday, March 21, 2015.

The Bulls would then lose their season finale on the road in Oshawa the next day, before exiting the playoffs with four straight losses to Barrie and packing their bags for steel town to become the Hamilton Bulldogs.

And local hockey fans can send thank you cards to players such as Ethan Werek and Chris DiDomenico for ending the miserable period.

Werek had two goals and an assist to lead the Senators in Hershey and DiDomenico had a goal and an assist; the goal coming with 2 minutes, 11 seconds to play to clinch the win.

Danny Taylor made 17 saves in goal to pick up the win. The Senators peppered Bears goalie Parker Milner

with 34 shots throughout the night.

The game was played in front of an announced crowd of 7,331 fans at the Giant Centre, in the small Pennsylvania town, renowned for supporting its long-standing AHL team.

One night earlier in Syracuse, against the defending Eastern Conference champion Crunch, the Sens fought back from an early two-goal deficit. Second-period goals

by DiDomenico and Max McCormick made it 2-2 after 40 minutes.

But the Crunch’s Dennis Yan scored the eventual game-winner early in the third period and Anthony Cerilli added an empty-netter with 55 seconds to goal.

Andrew Hammond took the loss in goal for the Sens, despite a 39 save performance. The Sens mustered just 26 shots on opposing goalie Michael Leighton.

The Senators lengthy road trip to start the season continues this weekend, with games in New England. They play the Hartford Wolf Pack on Friday night, the Providence Bruins on Saturday and the Springfield Thunderbirds on Sunday.

They won’t play at home until Wednesday, Nov. 1 when they host the Syracuse Crunch from the renovated Yardmen Arena.

The Sens will bolster their blueline ahead of the road trip. Defenceman Thomas Chabot, the MVP of last year’s world junior tournament, is back with the Belleville, after being reassigned by the Ottawa Senators.

Chabot’s demotion makes room for Eric Karlsson to return to the NHL club’s lineup after a lengthy injury.

College faculty strike cancels classes, causes worry at Loyalist College

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Editor’s note: as of press time Tuesday morning, the College Employer Council and the Ontario Public Service Employee Union failed to reach an agreement.

Belleville – A long line of cars were backed up from the Loyalist College entrance at Loyalist-Wallbridge Road on Monday morning.

At and beyond the entrance, people were hoping the strike that was snarling traffic wouldn’t go on for long.

Dozens of Loyalist faculty members were on the picket line early Monday morning after the province-wide College Employer Council and the Ontario Public Service Employee Union failed to reach an agreement by a midnight deadline.

Talks between the two groups broke down Tuesday, Oct. 10 and in the first hours of the strike there were no signs of plans to get back to the bargaining table.

As of Monday morning, more than 12,000 college instructors across Ontario were on strike and classes were cancelled indefinitely at 24 diploma granting institutions, including Loyalist.

The pickets at Loyalist were only slowly allowing vehicles onto the grounds of the college early Monday, creating a log jam of cars at Loyalist-Wallbridge Road that backed up past the Moira Street off ramp.

Around 9:30 p.m., Belleville Police dropped by to encourage the union to move things along quicker and Belleville Transit made alternative routes for people to access the college.

OPSEU pickets stops vehicles on their way into Loyalist College on Monday, Oct. 16, the first day of a college faculty strike.

Stephen Petrick/Metroland

“It’s not fun, it’s stressful,” said one striking faculty member, who did not give her name, as dozens of cars waited in line to get it. “Our students want to be in classes. And I want to be teaching.”

Eric Bauer, the president of OPSEU Local 420, which represents the striking Loyalist faculty members, said he hopes the strike

won’t go long, but he blamed the Employer Council for the lack of progress.

“Our teams stands at the ready to have that discussion at any point in time. I wish we had two sides at the table,” said Bauer, dressed warmly with a black toque to protect himself from the chilly fall wind.

There are several reasons why faculty mem-

Choice

bers are on strike, but the biggest reason is the shift of the Employer Council in recent years to hire few full-time instructors, leaving programs to be taught mostly by part-time employees, Bauer said.

There are also issues related to “parity in academic decision making” and “ fairness for contract faculty,” he added.

“The Employer Council has consistently returned to spinning a position about money,” he said. “That’s not been our issue.”

He acknowledged that there’s a perception that college faculty are paid large sums per hour – anything between $48 and $140 ¬– but those rates don’t reflect the full scope of work, he said.

The wage is dictated by the amount of time in front of students and doesn’t reflect preparation time or helping students individually.

With those elements factored in, a college instructor’s wage is far less lucrative, he said.

When asked what he would tell his own students about the strike – Bauer teaches in the environmental department – he said, “as tragic as this is when faculty are on strike, it’s about attempting to get an employer to recognize the effort that’s underway to make the system better.

“We can’t do any work. We must withhold the service we have to compel the employer to negotiate.”

Inside the college on Monday morning, students who spoke to the Belleville News were indifferent about the situation; they just wanted to see the strike resolved so their classes could resume.

Faculty strike continued “It’s pretty upsetting,” said Jairus Leeson, a second-year student in Loyalist’s TV and New Media program. He was huddled with several classmates in the college’s cafeteria. They had come in to discuss how to proceed with major projects they’re working on, without the support of instructors. “In second year, our workload is pretty significant. Getting feedback is crucial,” Leeson added.

He said his instructors spoke to students before the strike. They told them a contingency plan is in place so that students can still meet their learning goals, assuming the strike doesn’t last long. But the uncertainty, makes things difficult.

“It’s paranoia,” he said. “I don’t know how long this will last. It could be two, three weeks.”

Film and television production student Ernest Gearing expressed similar concerns.

“I guess a lot of our projects we can still work on, technically,” he said. “But I like having the input of the faculty. That’s what you pay for. I want them back, but there’s nothing I can do.”

Details from Loyalist College officials were minimal. A phone call to the college’s communications team requesting comment was returned with an email to a link on the college’s website with information to for students on labour negotiations updates.

The note, signed by senior vice president Ann Drennan, said the college will remain open, but no regular daytime classes will be held for post-secondary or apprenticeship programs. Some online courses and Continuing Education classes will continue.

“We will continue to offer Student Success services, Student Success Mentors, Peer Tutoring, Athletics and Campus Life, Student Life, Career Centre and facilities like labs and study areas.

During this time, we encourage you to catch up on work, complete homework assignments, review difficult material as well as continue with your textbook readings and research projects.

“Please be assured that contingency plans are in place for you to complete your studies. No Ontario college student has ever lost a year because of a strike.”

Grannies for Africa host loving event Nov. 4

Canadian grandmothers have been at the forefront of fundraising efforts for the orphaned children of Africa, left behind by the AIDS epidemic there, and the local chapter is holding a special event in November to highlight the effort.

Working with the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Canadian grandmothers have raised more than $25 million to support African grandmothers and the grassroots organizations working at the frontlines of the AIDS pandemic through the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.

Now for the first time, the story of these indomitable women has been documented in a new book, entitled Powered by Love: A Grandmothers’ Movement to End AIDS in Africa, published by Goose Lane Editions. Author Joanna Henry and photographer Alexis MacDonald visited eight African countries, interviewing and photographing hundreds of grandmothers (including Sarah Obama, Barack Obama’s grandmother) who, with the sup-

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

port of their sisters in Canada and now around the world, are raising their grandchildren and rebuilding their communities.

Quinte Grannies for Africa will be hosting a launch of Powered by Love on Thursday Nov. 2 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Loyalist College, Alumni Hall, 376 WallbridgeLoyalist Road, Belleville. Guest speakers will include Alexis MacDonald: Photographer for the book and Director of External Relations

at the Stephen Lewis Foundation, Nompumelelo Gladys Mayaba: Grandmother with Grandmothers Against Poverty & AIDS (GAPA), Siseko Mkalipi: Executive Director of Grandmothers Against Poverty & AIDS (GAPA), This event is free and open to the public.

All royalties from sales of Powered by Love will be directed to the Stephen Lewis Foundation to support organizations run by and for African grandmothers who are raising children orphaned by AIDS. Quinte Grannies for Africa has been in existence since October 2006. By the end of 2016, local grandmothers raised close to $ 300,000. They take their slogan ‘We will not rest `til they can rest’ very serious.

For more information on the event contact Mieke Thorne at 613969-1782 or email miekethorne@ cogeco.ca For more information on the Grandmothers’ Movement to end AIDS in Africa, visit GrandmothersPoweredbyLove.com.

After hours homeless service assumed by CMHA

BY JACK EVANS

Hastings County Community and Human Services Committee is recommending a bid by the local Canadian Mental Health Association to take over after-hours services for the homelessness program. The change takes place Jan. 1.

The county’s human services director Erin Rivers noted that the local Red Cross, which had been providing the service, served notice of termination of that role last May as it no longer fit the organization’s mandate. The department then issued a request for proposals to maintain the same services, staffing a call desk for referrals and placements from 4:30 p.m. through 8:30 a.m., including weekends and holidays. Funding, at $69,000, is provided by the province.

Commenting further, Rivers said she is “very excited.

The Mental Health group has the ex-

pertise and capability and shares many services with our agency. They are also equipped to deal directly with the homelessness issue, not just the crises.”

Sandie Sidsworth, executive director of the Prince Edward-Hastings branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, shared Rivers’ excitement. But she stressed the additional $69,000 funding is by no means a “windfall” for the agency.

“But, it might help us place more people in desperate need,” she added.

She also explained that finding adequate housing remains one of her agency’s prime activities.

“There are many reasons for homelessness,” she said, and the stress involved with those in that situation often is closely related to mental health issues.

“We help provide shelter for the homeless during regular working hours, so it is just an extension to after 4:30 and on weekends and holi-

days,” Sidsworth said. of affordable housing.”

The difficulty is, she addSidsworth said the ed, “There is such a lack county’s move to act on

a provincial program to create a major new shelter project is a godsend, but more is needed. “I really don’t see much light at the end of the tunnel right now,” she said, noting that finding adequate funding to keep the agency operational is a major challenge. There is no guaranteed funding source from any federal or provincial government.

“We rely on the Trillium and Parrott foundations, the county and the United Way mainly” she said, to support a staff of 11 and operate four separate programs. “We see about 800 people a month with various problems.”

For the new after-hours homeless referral service, full and part-time staff will be in place and ready to go at one minute after midnight on Dec. 31, when the handover from Red Cross begins.

Also recommended by the committee was taking part in a National Housing Day activity on Nov. 16.

The committee also approved the first major proposal under the new Ontario Early |Years Child and Family Centre – a unique centre to involve the Algonquin community in the Maynooth area. The new centre will use Maynooth Public School, where special classes for aboriginal children have already been part of the school’s program.

In essence, the program will provide for families to access relevant, culturally-sensitive programs and services, help protect the endangered Algonquin language and culture, creating a multicultural hub. The approved submission notes that while the Algonquin territory, still non-ceded, spans a huge swath of central Ontario, including Ottawa, Maynooth is actually in the middle of it and has a strong residual Algonquin population, compared to most of Ontario.

TRAVEL

WWII sub moored at Maritime Museum at Manitowoc had to actually volunteer for this dangerous assignment, for it had the highest mortality rate of any branch of the military during WWII. I also learned that the majority of the time was spent in rather dull, very routine situations, but then would come that sudden adrenaline-rush of danger. It was summarized on the museum wall in the following way: “90%boredom and 10% terror”!

I was also able to stroll through a reconstructed street of an historic Great Lakes port, step into the engine room of a Great Lakes ship from the early 1900s, see the inner workings of a torpedo, scan the harbour through a telescope, view a collection of remarkable fish carvings, and check out the Suspect Species Investigation Lab (where invasive species impacted the ecosystems of the Great Lakes). Furthermore, in the museum’s Model Ship Gallery, I was able to see several scale models of former Great Lakes sailing ships and freighters. I also learned about Lake Michigan car ferries that were used to transport passengers and railroad cars between ports – even through the storms of winter! I also saw a diorama featuring the Edmund Fitzgerald, lying within the depths of Lake Superior (and this reminded me of a previous visit of mine to Michigan’s Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, where I heard a recording of our very own EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO Gordon Lightfoot singing “The EXCELLENCE Wreck of the Edmund FitzgerPumpkinferno - Upper Canada Village ......................................

BY JOHN M. SMITH

On my most recent visit to Wisconsin, I found a unique and very worthwhile destination for an exploration of the Great Lakes maritime history. After all, the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, located along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, at Manitowoc, is the largest maritime museum in the Midwest, and it’s a Smithsonian Affiliate. It’s also home to the USS Cobia, the best preserved WWII submarine in the entire nation.

While in the museum itself, I was able to partake in a “Submarine Simulation Experience”, and this gave me a better understanding of what it would feel like to submerge.

Also, an actual WWII battle from the USS Cobia’s War Patrol log was recreated. This made me think about how claustrophobic and trapped the crew must have felt as they worked and travelled beneath the water’s surface, never certain that they would ever reemerge to safety. I learned that all the crew

continue on, via Lake Michigan, to this particular destination. Also, in the Little Lakefarer’s Room, children could look through a periscope, read books about the Great Lakes, and play maritime games.

When I was about to leave the museum itself, I picked up a card of a particular crew member of the USS Cobia (conveniently on display) – so that I could learn about his duties on board the submarine. After all, I was about to tour the actual submarine, so having this information would help me to better understand what the role of that individual was on this wartime vessel.

As educational as I’d found the museum that I’ve been describing, the tour of the submarine itself was even more fascinating. I descended the stairs and entered inside the submarine, and I soon discovered that this was not a job or accommodations that I would enjoy at all! The halls were narrow, so I felt cramped; the doorways were very tiny and, therefore, difficult for a tall person to maneuver through. It was hard to imagine this small space being occupied by 80

crew members and officers! I was told that the average temperature down here would be about 90F/32C, so it was not a particularly comfortable work environment. I saw the officers’ barracks, the office area, the control room, and the dining room. I then discovered that there were only 4 bathrooms, and these were worked by a series of rather complicated levers. There were also a few showers – but not enough for daily showers for all!

Indeed, I was certainly relieved when we got back out of there! The joy of fresh air and dry land!

As I returned to the museum, I was told that some adventurers even pay extra to spend the night inside that submarine. I was glad that I’d experienced the submarine tour, but that was enough sub life for me!

The Wisconsin Maritime Museum at Manitowoc was definitely worth checking out – and I’m pleased that I visited.

“Our Town” a delightfully different type of theatre

BY JACK EVANS

Imagine a small town about the size of Stirling and transplant it to rural New Hampshire. It would not be much different, especially in the early years of the 20th century.

The Belleviille Theatre Guild’s current offering, “Our Town,” a Pulitzer prize winning full-length play by Thornton Wilder could ring true to any of the small towns across the Quinte area. Wilder’s goal was not to focus on geography, but on life – ordinary life as lived by ordinary citizens in an ordinary community.

This writer contends that for a show that has such a large cast and finding an ensemble that captures every nuance of the many characters and their interaction is a rare feat.

Most of the credit can go to director Ian Feltham, who obviously knew exactly what he was looking for and managed to raid the guild’s immense talent stable to find it. From child actors to love-struck teenagers to doting parents to senior citizens, every line and role rings true.

Audiences might be surprised at the lack of props and sets, but that is precisely what Wilder envisioned and this cast delivers it.

Holding it all together is veteran actor Bill Petch who is the stage manager of a theatre, acting as ringmaster, introducing the town and its denizens and locations and directing them when to come on and go off. Young boys deliver newspapers; the editor of the local weekly seeks story ideas; a hard-working doctor delivers babies and heals sick bodies; a

“Our Town” scene – left to right, young lovers George Gibbs, played by Josh Lambert and Emily Webb, played by Skylar Pierson, flirt across their neighbouring windows while their respective mothers, Jana Busse, left and Kayla Alexandropoulos are below. Dianna Purchase as Mrs.Soames is in the middle.

Submitted photo by Greg Pinchin

wise police officer keeps his eye on the young people without punishment; knowing mothers coach their daughters in life’s mysteries.

At the end, there is a graveyard where most

of the characters, young and old, sit stolidly, wondering whether anyone living really understands the magical beauty of life, to which the Stage Manager replies, “Hardly anyone.

Quantities are limited, while supplies last.

Maybe a few poets and artists.” The graveyard scene does not imply tragedy, only reality. There are also a few good chuckles along the way.

The setting faithfully created on stage is the years spanning 1901 at the outset to 1913 at the end. The cast was so polished that in recognition of their collective effort, the names of the key characters at least, should be named: Gerry Fraiberg as Dr. Gibbs; Jana Busse as Mrs. Gibbs; Peter Wood as newspaper editor Wally Webb and Kayla Alexandropoulos as Mrs. Webb; playing the Dr. Gibbs children are wannabe farmer George,

by Josh Lambert and younger sister Rebecca

by Tayva Mestre ; Skylar Pierson is the Webb daughter, and her brother is Kael Mestre; Mo Leslie plays both the dry professor for a history lesson and the alcoholic church musician; Enno Busse plays the kind-hearted police officer. Dianna Purchase plays the neighbourhood busybody with something to say for every occasion. Several characters play more than one role. But all play it to the heart from the milkman with his imaginary horse to the undertaker and audience participants.

Sound effects are marvellous, from an early morning rooster crowing, to a train whistle to the milkman’s horse and bottle clanging.

This may not be theatre that you are used to, but audiences are responding warmly.

The show continues through Oct.28. For tickets or information, call the Box Office, (613) 967-1442. The box office opens at 3 p.m. week days.

Take it Outside

Backyard fire all good if you plan properly

By Carson Arthur At this time of the year, one of the most popular additions to the backyard is the outdoor fire pit with seating around it.

Having an area for entertaining that is separate to the patio table has been featured in magazines, websites and all types of social media. Even the designs that I’ve been doing for homes in downtown areas seem to always include high-end wood or gas burning fixtures. Also consider that many homeowners aren’t quite ready to give up on outdoor entertaining. By adding a beautiful heat source, being outside by the fire in October is not such a bad idea!

So it makes perfect sense to highlight some of the things you may not have thought about when setting up your own backyard hearth.

Before you go any further in exploring if an outdoor fireplace is right for you, check your municipal bylaws. Some areas ban outdoor burning altogether. Others allow outdoor fireplaces, but regulate the smoke to ensure that your neighbours are not disturbed.

Some municipalities require

that grills be in place so that these fire pits fall under barbeque laws. Just because a store in your area sells you a fireplace doesn’t mean that you can actually use it. Make sure to go online to check the bylaws for your area or stop in at the municipal offices to ask.

If however you’re like me and love the smell of burning wood, the sound of crackling logs and can spend hours watching flames and coals, then there is nothing like an outdoor wood-burning fireplace.

That said, burning wood always comes with lots of risks and rewards. Live fires are unpredictable and as a result, can be dangerous if not handled properly. While the

size of the fire is smaller than a burn-pile, local fire permits may also be applied to your home if you are planning a wood-burning fire pit.

When it comes to fire safety, make sure that you allow for at least 6ft. of space between the edge of the fireplace and the chairs. This may seem like a lot given that most people like to sit closer to the fire than 6’. The reality is that sparks can easily fly from natural burning fires and people may need to move backwards in a hurry. If you don’t have sufficient clearance, choosing a natural gas or propane option would be a safer solution.

If you do go with wood burning, then make sure you have either a source of water or a fire extinguisher nearby.

Also consider where the best spot is for you fire pit and what surface it is going on. The best surface solution is always stone. Whether its manmade pavers, natural flag-

stone or even gravel, stone is perfect for dispersing heat or flying sparks. I have created fireplaces on wood decks but I always make sure that the area under and around the fire pit is either gravel or concrete to help diffuse the heat and to prevent any sparks from landing on wood. When it comes to locations, wood-burning fire pits need to be away from the house. Smoke always seems to get into open windows or patio doors. Also choose a spot that is away from large trees or anything that is burnable.

Even patio umbrellas can be a hazard if they are to close to the fire and the wind direction changes.

Having an outdoor fireplace can be an amazing way to spend a summer night or even host an après ski party.

Just make sure you do a little research first, you don’t want to spend money on a feature that you can’t actually use.

Middleton murder accused deported from Bermuda Bermuda - One of two men jailed and later cleared in a case of judicial procedure gone horribly wrong in the 1996 death of Belleville teen Rebecca Middleton in Bermuda has been deported from the island nation to his native Jamaica.

Bermuda’s The Royal Gazette reported Kirk Mundy was transported from federal prison in Bermuda to Jamaica by private jet on Oct. 4.

Becky Middleton was visiting a friend she knew from Belleville when the friend and her father, Rick Meens, lived in Belleville. The two girls were out for an evening and met Mundy and later co-accused Justis Smith. Evidence said the pair accepted rides from the men on scooters, but got separated. Becky, who was 17 at the time, was later brutally raped and murdered and her body was found by the roadside at remote Ferry Reach, near the island’s airport, in the early hours of July 3, 1996.

According to reports in the Royal Gazette, Mun-

dy was sentenced to five years behind bars in 1996 after he pleaded guilty to a charge of being an accessory to the murder of Middleton.

His co-accused, Smith, was cleared after then Justice Vincent Meerabux threw out the case against him. A later bid to try both Mundy and Smith for the murder, after new forensic evidence was uncovered, failed because Britain’s Privy council, in 1998, ruled that the case could not go ahead as it would be seen as re-trying the case on the same facts as the earlier acquittals. The Privy Council also ruled that Meerabux’s decision on Smith could not be overturned.

The handling of the case, particularly the failure to reopen proceedings against the two suspects, caused outrage in Bermuda and overseas.

Human rights lawyer Cherie Booth, the wife of former British prime minister Tony Blair, called the case “a terrible, terrible story — one that no family

Packed lineup at Old Church Theatre

Monday October 23 brings Roxanne de Bastion to the stage at Old Church Theatre on Bonisteel Road, Quinte West.

Submitted photo.

Quinte West - The Old Church Theatre is bringing a jam-packed line up of entertainment this week.

Part 2 of the One Act play festival, ‘Sharpen the Acts,’ begins with three new plays on Thursday October 19 and Friday October 20 with both shows at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on Sunday October 22 at 2p.m.

Part 1 was held this past summer to sellout audiences at each performance.

Improv musical trio, the Three Martinis appear Saturday October 21 at 7:30 p.m.

Dan Fewings and Rob Phillips have been ‘making it up on the spot’ as the Three Martinis for more than three years now and kept their audiences laughing and always coming back for more. Phillips, a wellknown jazz pianist and former Second City music director, tickles the keys with amazing musicality and creativity. Fewings on the other hand seems to channel the likes of Jackie Gleason, John Candy with a side of Groucho Marx. The Third Martini is always a surprise – a bass player, a guitarist or a drummer completes this improvisational, music comedy trio. This time it’s part of the Old Church family, Howard Baer on the upright bass.

The Martinis handcraft their songs specific to each audience. They cajole the audience into writing titles for songs never before written and then before your eyes, with no tricks or mirrors they write those songs, music and all. It’s truly a must see performance.

Monday October 23 brings Roxanne de Bastion. Roxanne reminds us that great lyrics do have a place in pop music. With a nod to 1960s psychedelia, Roxanne delivers thoughtful social and personal commentary soaked in piano & cello arrangements.

Born in Berlin to a musical, bilingual family, she started composing and performing at the age of 15. Soon after, Roxanne moved to London equipped with her guitar, her songs and a one-way ticket. Glastonbury’s legendary acoustic stage, a showcase at Folk Alliance in the USA, opening for Hayes Carll, Martha Wainwright, Ricky Ross and Thea Gilmore as well as touring in her own right across Europe only ac-

count for a handful of events that filled by Roxanne’s diary over the past twelve months.

Her debut album and follow-up EP garnered support from BBC6, Xfm, The Sunday Times, R2 Magazine to name a few. The Old Church Theatre is at 940 Bonisteel Road in Quinte West and advance tickets can be purchased at www.olchurch.ca of by calling Lesley Bonisteel at 613-848-1411.

Campbellford residents react to Mayor Hector Macmillan’s death

BY SUE DICKENS

Campbellford — Speaking to people on the streets of Campbellford a couple of days following news of the death of Trent Hills’ Mayor Hector Macmillan, the comments were universally of one mind - Hec will be missed.

Frank Vaughan, past president of the Campbellford Farmer’s Market: “For my part Hector was always good to me.

As long as I was involved in the farmer’s market he was good to the farmer’s market. I found him to be somebody you could be direct with. You could argue with him and he could still respect you at the end of the day. Whether or not you love him or hate him a man who can get a plurality of the vote for 20 odd years ... that’s remarkable.”

Ron (and wife Sylvia) Rundle: “He put up a good fight. He’s been there a long time as mayor. He’s going to be missed.”

Ken Dehne owner of Ken’s Stereo and TV “He’s a good friend. Probably the best mayor we’ve ever had. In terms of a legacy he’s done so much for this community. He cared about everybody in this community ... not even himself, it was never about himself.”

Getting emotional Dehne added, “I visited him about 10 days ago so I knew he wasn’t doing well,” adding, “Sandy (wife) is a very good friend of mine, her parents took me in as a kid” Tom and Rose-Marie Kerr of Kerr’s Corner Books: “Hector and I sparred a lot over the years. We didn’t always see eye to eye but I genuinely believe that Hector was for the town,” said Tom Kerr.

Rose-Marie Kerr added, “We really really wish the family the very deepest of condolences and hope that they find their way to some peace. They have been through a lot. He will be a mayor that served a number of terms well supported by the constituents and he will never be forgotten.”

Brenda Tucker, manager of Gunn Johnston Card and Gifts: “I feel Hector was a role model to so many other people that have his disease. He fought it and he did a great job and he tried to help other people. The impact to our community is so strong. Yes it is important to his family but for the people in the community so many people looked up to Hector and are going to miss him.”

Commenting on those who had disagreements with the mayor, he added, “That’s politics, you can’t escape that. We went to school together from kindergarten up through the grades so I know him on a personal level. I think he would have been elected again if he ran for mayor.

There’s no question. He will be missed.”

Martha Murphy, executive director, Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation: “One of our fondest memories was the collaboration with the municipality, led by the mayor, to build three playgrounds in Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth on the same day, with over 300 volunteers. With grandson in tow, HecTom Sharpe of Sharpe’s Food Market: tor was so very proud of the members of our “We feel sad ... he has grandchildren and he community, who came together on that rainy day did Relay for Life. He’s done a very good job to build three unique playgrounds. We wrapped as mayor. Most people I know speak fondly of up the day with a Hector-style barbecue at the him.”

Warkworth Legion to celebrate, it was a very spe-

cial day.”

Donna Bennett, co-founder and marketing director Westben: “I am very sorry to hear of Hector's passing.

We grew up in Campbellford together and I always felt that Hector believed in the possibilities and potential for Trent Hills. Hector worked hard for what he thought would benefit the community and he did so with great passion. I am grateful for the support that Hector gave to create the Clock Tower Cultural Centre to develop a hub of arts in the centre of Campbellford. “

Cathy Beamish, president Rotary Club of Campbellford: “On behalf of the Rotary Club of Campbellford I would like to send our condolences to Sandy and family. Hector will be missed for his passion and dedication to the community of Trent Hills.”

Those on social assistance will see 2% raise in pay

BY JACK EVANS

Recipients of social assistance in Ontario can look forward to a modest raise this month. New payment rates and other benefit increases announced earlier by the province are supposed to phase in during October.

This year’s increase will be two per cent, which will apply to temporary care assistance, adults living with parents, dependents with dependents rates, advanced age allowance , remote communities allowance, personal needs allowance, special boarder allowance and guide dog benefits. \ The raise for a single person on Ontario Works should translate into $14 a month, said Erin Rivers, director for Hastings County.

Donna Nelham and Paul Tremlett are the owners of a new Driverseat franchise, serving the Belleville, Trenton and Prince Edward County regions.

BY STEPHEN PETRICK

Belleville – The transportation industry is changing – and a new Quinte-area business is steering it along.

Owners of a new Driverseat franchise for the region held a business launch event outside the Belleville Chamber log cabin on Moira Street on Thursday, Oct. 12.

The business helps customers get themselves and their vehicles home safely. The local franchise is owned by husband-wife duo Donna Nelham and Paul Tremlett.

The couple also opened a Driverseat franchise for the Kingston area days earlier.

They hope the business will contribute to a reduction of impaired driving instances.

“We didn’t want to do just anything,” said Nelham. “We wanted to do something with heart; something with a social purpose.”

Customers can call 613-900-5890 to access the service or visit driverseatinc.com and download the app.

The service has a flat rate minimum charge of $15 and an algorithm factoring in the time and distance of the trip deter-

mines the overall rate.

The business works by hiring coachmen or coachwomen to arrive at the location of the customer and drive them and their vehicle home. Those coachmen and women have “chasers” who help them move around from job to job.

Nelham likes the social angle of the business. She hopes people who are enjoying a night out and feel too tipsy to drive home themselves will call the service.

But the she stressed Driverseat can be used for a variety of other services. People can call if they need help getting kids to school, if they need help getting people home from business functions or even if they need transportation support for a fun event, like a wedding or wine tour.

She acknowledged that now is an interesting time for the transportation industry as new services, such as Uber, are changing the way people think about getting out and about, especially after hours.

She believes Driverseat, is a successful business that’s well equipped to embrace that change.

“It’s about giving people different options,” she said.
