2 Brighton Independent - Thursday, January 1, 2015

By John CampbellNews - Colborne - Plans to build an ecology garden, nature trail and play-ground at Memorial Park were pre-sented to Cramahe Township’s new council at its December 16 meeting.

Alex Rutherford, chair of the Flo’s Ecology Garden committee, said the project will take two years to com-plete and involve cleaning up an area where trees have fallen and taking steps to prevent further erosion of the stream banks.

The committee also intends to do some landscaping, plant trees and bushes, install picnic benches, and create a path from Victoria Street to Elgin Street that can accommodate wheelchairs and strollers.

“The biggest thing is to get more use of the park [that is] beautiful,” said Rutherford, who credited Cra-mahe Horticultural Society member Shirley Ross with the idea to put in an ecology garden.

He assured Deputy-mayor Sandra Arthur he wasn’t there to ask for any financial commitment from council but would like to make use of munici-pal staff and resources at times during

construction, such as having a dump truck deliver topsoil.

“I’m excited about your project,” said Councillor Don Clarke, who noted downed weeping willows have created problems by causing flood-ing. He volunteered to give a hand with the project.

Rutherford said in an interview the committee was formed in 2013 to take on a project that would honour his late mother who was active in the sports community, including spon-soring a Rutherflo fastball team that dominated in the 1990s, winning pro-vincial and Canadian championships.

He said the committee is “look-ing at about $80,000” to carry out the project and will be asking for fund-ing from various groups as well as applying for grants from the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the federal government.

The plan is to build the garden and nature trail and spruce up the park this year and put in a playground next year.

“The park needs some tender, lov-ing care,” Rutherford said.

News - Brighton - A car was struck by a train December 17 after it got stuck on the tracks in the Lawson Settlement Road area.

No one was in the Chevy Cruze as the male driver had helped the female passenger out of the vehicle before heading off to a nearby residence to get help.

Police said the motorist had turned onto the CN rail “mistakenly thinking it was a very bumpy County Road 2,” Northumberland OPP said.

The woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries when struck by debris from the car after it was rammed by a train and she was taken to hospital by ambulance.

The rail line was closed for about two hours while OPP investigated.

Police were called to the scene around 5:25 p.m.

They were notified a minute later of another collision involving a pe-destrian and pickup truck. The OPP said a 50-year-old man was struck by a slow-moving Dodge Ram turn-ing into the Rexall parking lot from Prince Edward Street.

“The male was not visible to the driver of the Ram until the very last minute because he was wearing very dark clothing and came from behind a building across the street,” police said in a news release.

The man was transported to hospi-tal with non-life-threatening injuries.

No further information was provid-ed while the two incidents remained under investigation.

Wastewater treatment could go public

By Joyce CassinNews - Brighton - Councillor Steve Baker got a bit more than he planned when he asked Mayor Mark Walas to call a special meeting for Mon-day, December 22.

Baker said he simply wanted a list of events regarding recommendations and actions that took place over the last several years dealing with ammonia and other exceedances at the wastewater pollution control plant.

He made it clear that, had he known that both chief administrative officer Gayle Frost and en-vironmental services manager Catherine Ch-isholm were not going to be in attendance, he would have asked the mayor to put it off until they were available.

What actually happened was, Walas and Councillor John Martinello put a motion on the floor to issue a Request For Proposal for an external professional to transfer all opera-tions of the water pollution control plant to a third party.

This person or company would provide a full peer review of all actions taken to date and would make recommendations to council.

“It is in no way to jeopardize the employ-ment of any of our municipal staff,” Walas said. “I think we need to put the brakes on, take a step back and let an independent come in and monitor the ongoing operations.”

Walas says he intends to put a deadline of mid-February for all RFPs so the cost of hiring an outside company could be included in the 2015 budget process.

Councillor Brian Ostrander said he’s very concerned that hiring a private corporation to look after the management of the wastewater

pollution control plant could be in direct viola-tion of the union collective agreement.

“I have been assured by the members of council who voted in favour of this motion that, it is a proposal on the table for budget purposes, and we’ll have to see where it goes from here,” Ostrander said.

Walas mentioned during the meeting that a report presented by Chisholm at the previous week’s meeting by R.V. Anderson, recommend-ed a “bandaid” solution at a cost of $2.4 mil-lion, and that it is not acceptable.

In an interview at the end of the meeting, Walas said that if the third party recommends the R.V. Anderson solution, then “we’ll deal with it at the time.”

A recorded vote was called, with Walas, Martinello, and Councillors Roger McMurray and Mary Tadman in favour, and Councillors Ostrander, Laura Vink and Baker opposed. The motion carried 4 - 3.

In a posting on his FaceBook page after the meeting, Baker had this to say:

“I am deeply dismayed at the turn of events tonight with respect to my quest for informa-tion. The intent of my e-mail, which was not read in its entirety, was to simply seek informa-tion with respect to the lagoon to where we are today. Unfortunately my proposed motion was not put on the floor but instead was usurped by Mayor Walas and Councillor Martinello into a motion that may likely take control of our wastewater away from the Municipality and put it into the hands of a third party. I learned a very hard lesson tonight not to take people at face value. I doubt I will make that same mis-take twice.”

By Sue DickensNews - Campbellford - Eleven-year-old Halley Marsh now has 43 grandparents, all of whom are resi-dents at Burnbrae Gardens.

“She just decided this year instead of gifts for herself she wanted to get gifts for Christmas for all the resi-dents here,” said her mom Tracy, who along with her husband Don support-ed their daughter’s holiday wish.

“She has no living grandparents but she now has 43 right here,” she added with a grin.

For Halley, the decision was an easy one, brought on by what she de-scribed as a “tough year.”

Eleven-year-old Halley Marsh, of Campbellford, decided that instead of Christmas gifts this year she wanted to give gifts to all the residents of Burnbrae Gardens. She has no living grandparents but now has 43, all of whom are residents. Frank Trombley was one of the residents who received the surprise presents. Halley’s brother Timmy, eight, helped her with her Christmas wish. Photo: Sue Dickens

“I was bullied this past year and didn’t feel very nice so I started thinking who do you think would be forgotten. I thought maybe seniors in a seniors’ home or nursing home,” she said in a very quiet voice.

So Halley approached her local ka-rate club for donations and was suc-cessful in collecting some money.

“So then I went to Campbellford Wholesale, Scott Drummond [Scott Drummond Motors] and Tim Hortons and they all donated,” she said with a shy smile.

Her brother Timmy, age eight, helped.

The gift bags were put together

and delivered to the residents before Christmas.

“I got a book, a puzzle book, hand cream, lip cream, Vaseline, a comb, razors … the bag was just full,” said resident Frank Trombley.

Burnbrae Gardens director of care Lesley Dale said this was a first for the residents.

It was a first for Halley too.“She plans on coming back next

year and doing this all over again,” she said.

Halley spoke with the Trent Hills Independent when she returned to Burnbrae last week with her mom and her brother to have lunch with the

residents.“These are all

my grandpar-ents,” she said with a big grin.

OPINION

Gwynne Dyer

Editorial - Here are four reasons why President Barack Obama’s decision last week to re-establish diplomatic rela-tions with Cuba was a good idea.

1) The U.S. attempt to bring down the Castro regime by isolating the country economically and diplomatically is now 54 years old, and it still hasn’t

worked. To go on doing the same thing and expect a different result next time is a clear indication of stupidity, and possibly of insanity.

2) President Obama, as a “lame duck” president with only two years to go, has nothing to lose by re-opening the American embassy in Havana and loosening travel restrictions on American citizens. He gets credit for being both bold and sensible, and he can do it by executive decision without having to go through Congress.

3) A quarter-century after the end of the Cold War, there is ample popular support in the United States for ending the long and absurd anti-Communist crusade against Cuba. According to an Atlantic Council poll early this year, 56 per cent of Americans now back a more direct U.S. engagement with the Castro regime, or even full normalisation of relations. Among Hispanic-Americans, the number rises to 63 per cent.

4) Even in Florida, where the Cuban-American population is concentrated, the heat has gone out of the issue. The aging leaders of the community, who arrived as refugees from Cuba half a century ago, still resist closer U.S. relations with Cuba, but the U.S.-born generation wants to end the war. The same Atlantic Council poll showed that 79 per cent of voters of Cuban descent in Florida supported increased engagement or normalisation.

Unfortunately, there are also two powerful reasons why Obama’s good idea is not really going to change things much.

1) The Republican Party now controls both Houses of Congress, and the embargo cannot be ended except by Congressional consent. That will not be forthcoming.

2) The brothers Castro are still in control of Cuba, and even if they were both swept away by some random illness, the only slightly younger Communist Party leadership will not make the kind of concessions that could force the

Republican leadership to change its position. In terms of maintaining the status quo, the U.S. Republicans and the Cuban Communists are “objective allies.”

It makes political sense for Republicans to oppose Obama’s initiative: they have no interest in allowing him a victory that they have it within their power to thwart. Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida vowed that he would do “everything in my power” to keep the embargo in place—and also threatened to block the confirmation of a U.S. ambassador to Cuba and prevent funding for construction of a U.S. embassy in Havana.

If this sounds petty, well, yes it is. But considering the attitude of Congressional Republicans towards the Obama administration over the past six years, massive obstructionism towards any future policy of Obama’s seems virtually guaranteed. The embargo will remain.

As for President Raul Castro—elder brother Fidel, now officially retired, seems largely out of play—he has no intention of presiding over the end of Communism in Cuba.

Cuba’s economy is in terrible shape, and it has recently been made much worse by the steep decline of the Venezuelan economy owing to the collapse of the oil price. Given how dependent Cuba has become on the generosity of the leftist Venezuelan regime, you might think that Castro would now be seeking economic salvation in the form of an improvement in U.S.-Cuban relations. You would be wrong.

I have visited Cuba about every five years for the past three decades, usually as a journalist, but once, in the early 1990s, I took my entire family, including a baby and my elderly parents-in-law, so they could see what the last remaining Communist regime outside Asia looked like. The Soviet Union had just collapsed, ending the generous Soviet subsidies that had kept the Cuban regime afloat for decades.

The place was a terrible mess, and people were truly desperate. There were early teenage prostitutes of both sexes working the streets, and my parents-in-law got mugged twice in one week in central Havana. On the second occasion, the senior officer at the local police station held my father-in-law (the victim) hostage, allegedly as a “witness” in need of medical attention, until I bribed him $100 to let him go.

Cuba has been through worse economic crises than the current difficulties, and the regime survived. It did so because, unlike the European Communist regimes that fell in similar circumstances, nationalism works for the Cuban regime, not against it. Maybe some serious change will eventually come out of this initiative, but certainly not before the end of 2016.

Editorial - It might be a guy thing but I know there are lots of women who have the same crav-ing men do. No, I’m not talking about “that.” I’m talking about a passion for four-wheeled el-egance; yards of real chrome not plastic painted to look like chrome; grills that seemed to be rolling ads for dentists and fenders that had an almost sensuous appeal. I’m talking about a re-surgence of popularity the quiet streamlined au-tomobiles in which we tooled around the coun-tryside in the late 1960s and 1970s are enjoying. Of course, buying these gems of the highway can set you back a pretty penny so usually it’s us oldsters who can afford them.

Watching television shows like Counting Cars and Restoration Garage can go a long way to fuelling the desire to once again ride around in the iron our fathers variously cursed and praised. Okay maybe they weren’t always the epitome of luxury but almost everything in the older vehicles was real—no plastic—and they had style.

I have to confess that when I had to give up my 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook a few years ago, I wasn’t very happy. However, I couldn’t have given it the attention it deserved living on a dusty country road north of Madoc.

Although I’m definitely not the mechanic in our family, I’ve always had an affinity for the rolling steel common on the roads back in mid-twentieth century. There was comfort in the back of my parents’ 1938 Dodge sedan that couldn’t be matched. Of course it helped that in those carefree days we kids weren’t tangled in restrictive seat belts or child care seats. (Please don’t write saying they’re for our own safety; I know that.)

I remember one trip we took west of Toronto to visit relatives back in 1958 or so. I seem to remember Dad stopping underneath the Burlington Skyway Bridge which was under construction at the time.

In the early morning hours we were hustled from our warm beds into the back seat of the old Dodge; Dad and Mom had rigged up a platform of sorts to level the back seat for us so we could continue our night’s sleep. Yeah, that didn’t work at all. Those days a long car trip was still an event worthy of our undivided attention.

That old Dodge met a rather ignominious

end; after sitting in our back yard and serving as a play structure for a while, the wreckers came, chopped it in half and dragged it away.

Dad followed that Dodge up with a few more cars which would be considered classics today: a 1941 Dodge, an early 1950s Chevy “fastback,” a few more Dodges and a Plymouth or two. Although they in turn are considered collectible, they couldn’t compete with the sleek lines of the ’38.

I’ve owned a few cars that are now out of my grasp … monetarily speaking. My first car was a 1959 Ford Galaxie 500 I bought for $300 around 1968; add a couple of zeros to that if you want to own a restored version. My second car and the car I’d most like to own again was a 1963 Plymouth Fury III convertible. It was a beauty, comfortable, with an unmistakable streamlined body style. Even after it was T-boned in Napanee and then restored it always ran like a clock. But real life stepped in and I had to give it up as well. I think I know where its bones lie buried but it’s way past my means to dig it up and restore it.

Another car I owned was a Volkswagen beetle, the original not those wannabe bugs you buy now. It was cold in winter, hard to start if you’d forgotten to insert the dipstick heater the night before and even with all the air channels open was never truly comfortable; that being said, I’d love to own another, but again in good condition they demand a ridiculous price. Even if I do ever get lucky enough to be able to buy another, I’ll drive it only in the summer. I bemoan the number of those little machines that were turned into dune buggies.

The absolute worst car I ever owned was a 1976 Dodge Aspen two-door I bought brand new. You could watch it rust as it sat in the driveway, the gas gauge never did work right because it was mounted in such a fashion as to be constantly abraded by road dust and dirt. Cute but a real lemon. As a matter of fact the Dodge Aspen and Plymouth Volaré very nearly bankrupted Chrysler; in 1978 they recalled almost every single car in that line for replacement of front fenders which had rusted out.

Yeah, older and more streamlined would be my way to go; the disposable boxes on wheels we get now just don’t make the grade.

I prefer a sleek and sensuous way to get around

News - Colborne - Things got out of hand between two neighbours, resulting in crimi-nal charges being laid against one who tried to get the upper hand while behind the wheel.

Northumberland OPP said they received a report short-ly after 5:15 p.m. December 17 that a woman tearing up the lawn in the backyard of a King Street residence by going around in circles in a 2008 Jeep Liberty. She struck a fence dividing the proper-ties and two planters at the

end of the driveway. The male homeowner was almost struck twice by the vehicle, which was driven toward the man’s minivan where his wife, three children and a friend were sit-ting, police said.

The man threw a pipe when he jumped out of the way a third time, smashing the Jeep’s rear window, in an attempt to get her to stop.

Police said the woman yelled death threats at the man when she left.

Officers saw large ruts in

the ground when they arrived. They left to locate the driver who returned shortly after they departed and began driv-ing around circles in the man’s front yard.

Damage was estimated at roughly $3,000.

The OPP subsequently charged Katherin Carriere, 40, Colborne, with dangerous op-eration of a motor vehicle, as-sault with a weapon, mischief under $5,000 and utterance of threats to cause death or bodily harm.

By Joyce CassinNews - Brighton - Mayor Mark Walas is looking forward to the New Year and what it’ll bring to Brighton.

“2015 looks to be an exciting time for Brighton, Walas said in an e-mail. “I believe we finally have a council that will commence an Environmental Assessment process for the wastewater treatment facility to resolve the short-term problems and look to a long-term solution for Brighton and the protection of Presqu’ile Bay.”

He says he firmly believes that de-spite the best efforts of staff, they have to look at the bigger picture and resolve the short-term and long-term issues for 25 years from now.

He said customer service is one of many issues to be addressed through a full organizational and municipal ser-vices review.

“Improving the current system would allow for a faster more efficient way of receiving, recording, resolving and fol-lowing up on information received from our ratepayers,” he said. “It is impera-tive that we standardize the way we han-dle all communications from the public. All communications deserve a response in a professional and respectful manner, regardless of the outcome.”

And to do this, he recommends hiring a consultant to find efficiencies and inef-ficiencies, and if this means hiring more staff, then council will have to look at that as a solution.

In general, Walas said that even though infrastructure needs have been dealt with in the past, there is a lot of other things that need doing. Sidewalks, proper signage in school zones, traffic flow in the Little Lake Road/Tees Lane area are just some of the concerns he’s heard recently.

Then there’s the Northumberland County emergency detour route (EDR).

“The County is looking at a traffic master plan study to determine if there could be alternate routes,” Walas said during an interview, adding that when to 401 is closed, the traffic that travels through Colborne and Brighton basical-

Mayor looks to Brighton’s futurely cripples both downtowns.

Looking to the County once again, Walas said he expects a staff/council com-munications report to include appointing members of coun-cil to sit in on public works, parks and recreation and gen-eral finance staff meetings to “improve the flow of infor-mation.”

At this point he’s been, and plans to continue, to work with new council members to help them familiarize them with council proceedings.

“Everybody is making a good effort to inform them-selves, and I’m certainly re-

ally pleased with the comple-ment of the new council,” Walas said. “It’s a great bunch of folks … and every-one is committed to working together for the greater good of Brighton.”

When it comes to the re-cently quashed Brighton Cre-ative Trade Centre, Walas said he voted against the motion to allow an advisory committee to look into the matter further because he said “the business plan is not sustainable” and he didn’t like the proposed “$140,000 for marketing in 2015.”

Walas said he looked at the

IDEAhub in Port Hope that sub-sidizes small business.

“I am somewhat confused with how the DBIA would be in support of providing subsidized retail and office space within the community in direct competition with themselves. There’s a piece of the puzzle perhaps I’m miss-ing.”

The Council Code of Con-duct will be up for discussion in January as Walas said he believes there have been times in the past where it was used as a weapon.

“Interestingly enough, since

the inception of Brighton, we didn’t have a code of conduct un-til 2010, and oddly enough, from 2010 to 2014, I dare say was it was probably the worst term of council on record,” Walas said. “And as coincidence would have it, we also had a council code of conduct.”

He said between the procedur-al bylaw that regulates how meet-ings are run, the communications policy that sets out how they are to communicate with staff and the public, and the recording of open and closed meetings, there

is no need for a code of conduct.“At this point in time, I don’t

see the effectiveness of it, but that’ll be a decision of council,” Walas said.

He said it’s council’s responsi-bility and obligation to continue to investigate any and all oppor-tunities to provide more cost-effi-cient services to the community, and part of that is to look into all the options, even subcontracting services out.

And of course there’s the ex-isting procurement policy at the

county level that would see group pur-chases aimed at saving dollars across the board.

When it comes to the existing munici-pal strategic plan, Walas said it would be up to council to decide whether to stay on course with the plan, or to adjust the order of the plan.

“There would be some public meet-ings around that, to basically make sure that the course we’re on is the course ev-erybody wants to be on,” Walas said.

He said he wants to keep public in-volvement active, with existing com-

mittee as well as reinstating committees such as physician recruitment, a rural advisory committee, and one to deal with traffi c-related issues.

After being turned down for infra-structure funding for the Young/George Street reconstruction project, Walas said that hopefully it could be part of the budget.

“We’ll see what our options are to do it independently,” Walas said.

Overall, Walas said he thinks the new year will go really well.

“We are committed to working to-gether,” Walas said.

By John CampbellNews - Brighton - If you’re looking to get rid of the empty liquor and beer bottles that might have accumulated

over the holidays, the Brighton Army Cadets will be holding a bottle drive January 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

It’s to raise money for a white wa-

ter rafting trip down the Ottawa Riv-er the cadets have planned for June 2016.

They’ll also be collecting pop

Cadets to hold bottle drive Saturday as fund raiser for adventure trip

cans, with the money raised from selling to Karten Metals in Trenton to go toward a trip to France in 2017 for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in World War I.

Those who wish to arrange for the cadets to pick up their bottles may call Second-Lieutenant Robin Brooks of the 100 RCACC Brighton at 613-849-0721.

The cadet corps decided on holding a bottle drive, the first in its five-year history, after the success of two of its members last year, who “within an hour had collected a hundred dollars’ worth of bottles in a pickup truck,” Brooks said. They used the money to help pay for a high school trip to at-tend the 70th anniversary of the Nor-mandy landing in World War II.

The goal is to raise $6,000, to cov-er the costs of all 65 cadets going on the white water raft trip.

“Part of our mandate is adven-ture training,” Brooks said. “Last spring we took treetop trekking in the Ganaraska Forest. It builds leader-

ship, it builds confidence … so every year we try to do something different and challenging, and the cadets, they just lap it up.”

All 65 cadets have been invited to take part in the nine-day trip to France in 2017, that will include flying to Amsterdam, going to Vimy, and then flying home from Paris.

The cost is $3,500 per person, “so we’re doing a variety of fund rais-ers,” which has included the sale of 2015 calendars for $10, with $7 going to each cadet who makes a sale.

It was “very successful,” Brooks said, with most of the 1,000 printed having been sold before Christmas.

“We’ve got one cadet who sold over 150 calendars by himself. He’s already raised over $1,000 of the cost of his ticket.”

The fund raising started in Septem-ber. “We’ve got two-and-a-half years to help the 65 cadets to earn as much money as they possibly can, to go on this opportunity of a lifetime,” she said.

Organizers of “Dance Hall Daze” ask for public’s help in staging event

By John CampbellNews-Brighton – Do you know how to jive, boogie, jitterbug? How about the Charleston, bunny hop, mashed potato or twist?

Organizers of the third annual Brighton History Open House would love to have you participate in their presentation of “The Dance Hall Daze” in February by demonstrating some of the dances in vogue decades ago.

The Ontario Heritage Week event will feature two local venues that drew several hundred for dances in their heyday, the Opera House in Brighton and the pavilion in Presqu’ile Provin-cial Park.

Nothing remains of either. The pa-vilion was dismantled in 1971 and the Opera House ceased to be when the old town hall in which it was located, now Memorial Park, was destroyed by a tornado in 1973.

Local historian Dan Buchanan will talk about the dance hall days from the late 1800s to the early 1970s in a presentation February 19 that will

This picture of the interior of the Opera House served as the front cover of Peter McConnell’s book, “Over My Shoulder.” Local historian Dan Buchanan would love to obtain other photos of the venue for use in his presentation during Ontario Heritage Week. Photo: Submitted

This playbill for “Joshua Whitcomb,” from the collection of Brighton resident Doug Cheer, is typical of the promo used for live theatre events that were held in the upstairs of the old Brighton Town Hall known as the Opera House. The police-man was played by Cheer’s great-grandfather, Samuel Charles Cheer, an actor in Robert H. Baird’s dramatic company, which toured Ontario and New York State during the late 1800s.

Tooth sensitivity is a very common condition that affects people of all ages. It is estimated that tooth sensitivity, or dentin hypersensitivity, affects approximately 15% of the general population. It is also more commonly seen in individuals aged 20-50 years of age. The causes of dentin hypersensitivity include:• Excessive or forceful tooth brushing • Gum disease • Acid erosion • Dental bleachingIn all of the above situations, the dentin of the tooth is exposed either by the receding of gums or loss of tooth structure. Dentin is a part of the tooth that has many small channels that run from the outside of the tooth towards the center where the nerve is contained. If dentin is exposed and these channels or tubules are open, changes in temperature, air pressure or even sugary substances can cause the nerve of the tooth to be stimulated. We experience this as pain. It is usually of short duration and is sharp in nature.

Treatment for sensitive teeth

The best treatment for dentin hypersensitivity is preventing the causes of

sensitivity from occurring in the first place. Prevention includes:• Using a soft bristle toothbrush with a non-abrasive toothpaste• Avoid consuming very acidic foods and beverages • If you suffer from conditions such as GERD (acid reflux), see your doctor for treatment • Avoid brushing your teeth immediately after consuming acidic foods • Regular flossing coupled with regular visits to your dentist to prevent gum diseaseIf you have already encoun-tered dentin hypersensitiv-ity, there are two categories of treatment that can be helpful, home treatment and in-office treatment. Home treatment in-cludes brushing with a desen-sitizing toothpaste. In-office treatment includes: • Application of a desensitizing agent on sensitive teeth • Covering the exposed dentin with a filling material • Use of dental lasers to desensitize the nerve • Growing gum tissue where it has recededIf you feel like your teeth are more sensitive to hot or cold foods or to certain types of food, see your dentist about what may be causing this. Your dentist can provide you with different options on how to treat this condition or, at the very least, guide you towards preventing any further damage to your teeth and gums.

Are your teeth being too

Sensitive?

Brighton History Open House needs help

This picture, from the collection of Pat Boyce, shows the Presqu’ile Pavilion, which boasted a dance floor “that was perfect, and with the windows flipped up on a hot summer night and a great band in full flight, it was pure paradise,” says local historian Dan Buchanan. Photo: Submitted.

Mellodaires.“We loved the idea of bringing music

into the whole thing [which] makes it more entertaining for folks,” he said.

The Opera House, built in 1885, “was a very popular place” for live entertain-ment of various kinds, including plays, musicals and operas, in addition to danc-es. “It was used for all sorts of things,” Buchanan said.

The pavilion attached to a hotel built in 1905 used to hold dances six days a week during the summer; these events were attended by campers in the park from all over and area residents.

“We’re going to focus on the bands that played there,” Buchanan said, such as “a terrific band” from Toronto that was led by Ted Snider who went on to form the Trenton Citizens Band in the early 1960s.

Quite a few bands played at the pavil-ion, which was “very popular during the ‘40s after the war [when] it was a boom time for Presqu’ile,” Buchanan said.

People “were coming from a long ways” for the dances, which led to the expansion of the hotel and pavilion to accommodate the growing number of visitors. Some band members stayed all summer, Buchanan said.

“In that peak period there was an aw-ful lot to do.”

The pavilion eventually began to lose appeal and one of the reasons was that “the way the park was managed” changed which made it “less conducive to [stag-ing] these big entertainment events,” Bu-chanan said.

He wants people to help with his pre-sentation by sharing recollections of the times they went to the Opera House or pavilion to dance.

Growing up in Codrington he has his own memories of going to both places, including when he was a teenager and used to drive down to the pavilion on Sat-urday nights for live rock ’n’ roll music.

“We’d like to hear from people who would come with a prepared story, [last-ing] a couple of minutes,” Buchanan said.

He and the History Open House com-mittee, which includes co-ordinator Dot

Connolly, representing the Brighton Heritage Ad-visory Committee, and researcher/historian/author Susan Brose, are also asking the public to come forward with photos that show events at the Opera House or the pavilion.

“These two venues were the heart of the enter-tainment [for] the area from the 1890s to the 1960s,” Buchanan said, “People have an emotional connec-

tion to those places and we wanted to give folks an opportunity to express that.”

To share memories or photos call Buchanan at 613-439-8992.

In addition to the feature event at the King Ed-ward Community Centre February 19, there will be displays on the Municipality of Brighton February 21 and 22 and a Women’s Institute Heritage Tea.

Three Oaks celebrates opening of Second Stage Housing building

By Stephen PetrickNews - Belleville - A safe roof; a new home; a place of hope; a building built by the community.

These were among the words used to describe Three Oaks Foundation’s newly erected building that will serve as a long-term home for women and children fl eeing abuse.

A who’s who of the community gathered to celebrate the opening of Three Oaks’ Second Stage housing project on Thurs-day, December 18. The building, located in central Belleville, has eight units and all of them were fi lled within days of its offi cial opening in the fall.

The Second Stage housing building is for women fl eeing abuse who need a long-term home as they rebuild their lives. It’s not a replacement for Three Oaks’ crisis shelter, where many of its clients go fi rst.

The project was funded in part by a $200,000 commitment from the federal government through its Homelessness Partnering Strategy; money that was used to purchase the land.

Another $100,000 and change came from an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. That money was used to put up a secure fence around the building and to hire a new employee.

Three Oaks has also held numerous fund raisers for the project in recent months,

Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp (l) and MPP Todd Smith (r) pre-sented a plaque and certi� cate to Three Oaks Foundation Executive Direc-tor Sandy Watson-Moyles (second from left) at the opening celebration for the Second Stage housing project. Also pictured is Deanna Dulmage of the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Photo: Stephen Petrick

including the always-popular Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event in May.

Guests and dignitaries who, almost literally, packed a small common room inside the new building, praised the commu-nity effort that was needed to get it up.

“There had to be com-plete community by in,” said Prince Edward-Hastings

Member of Parliament Daryl Kramp. “As you can see by the representation here, that was certainly the case.”

Several Belleville city coun-cillors and representatives from other social service organization attended the celebration.

Sandie Sidsworth, the chair of Three Oaks Foundation’s board, described the building as a “place of hope.” She said

it will be a safe haven for many women, who often come to Three Oaks after fl ee-ing situations complicated by mental health or addiction issues. She thanked the com-munity for understanding the importance of the projects.

“This building exists because everyone did their part,” she said. “This is truly a dream realized.”

Prince Edward-Hastings Member of Pro-vincial Parliament Todd Smith also attended the ceremony. He noted some recent stories in the news, related to famous athletes and entertainers, seems to have opened more people’s eyes to the issue of domestic vio-lence. But, sadly, the problem exists locally, too, and people can’t forget that.

“When you see someone you know and love from your own community [experienc-ing abuse] it strikes close to home,” he said.

Belleville Councillor Garnet Thompson spoke on behalf of the city and presented Three Oaks staff with a plaque to com-memorate the building’s opening.

He praised the teamwork that took place between several facets of the community, in order to get the building running.

“This community never turns away from a project it takes on,” he said. He noted that the opening of eight new units “makes eight more women in our community safe. That’s the important part.”

Common Mistakes when Buying and Selling #4“I am wondering about listing my home privately”

Homeowners who choose to sell their house directly may do so for a variety of reasons. Doing so is a homeowner’s choice, but comes with implications that may be overlooked:

a real estate professional. This can easily result in costly legal issues during or after the sale;

through a Realtor. In a Buyer’s market such as ours, reaching more qualified buyers is critical for a successful sale;

asking price, negotiate the terms of sale, pay upfront for advertising fees, and ensure that all legal criteria are met can be significant and somewhat overwhelming;

the results of their private sale.If you are considering selling your home privately, ask yourself whether the above-

investment, you may well decide that the knowledge, skill and marketing are best trusted to a professional. Call me for additional information!

Minister of Defence Rob Nicholson announces the arrival of another C-17, in front of the C-17 and its crews. Photo: Kate Everson

By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - The fifth CC-177 Globemaster (C-17) will be finding a parking spot on the tarmac at 8 Wing Trenton this spring. The base has room for four C-17s in its new hangars.

“It’s good news,” said MP Rick Nor-lock at the announcement on December 19 in front of a mighty C-17 in 1 Han-gar.

Minister of National Defence Rob Nicholson said he is incredibly proud of the hard work of the military and that adding another C-17 to their fleet will add to their efficiency and flexibility. It will also extend the life of the entire fleet by about seven and a half years.

“The men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces deserve the best equip-ment to carry out their tasks,” Nicholson said.

The $415-million purchase includes $30 million worth of support over the next 12 years.

“We already have the staff and train-ing in place,” he noted.

The C-17 has been extensively used in Canada and around the world and can carry 160,000 pounds of payload and land in the most difficult locations.

“It was the first to land on a frozen runway in Alert,” he added.

The C-17 has been used for emer-gency hurricane relief in Jamaica, trans-porting personnel and equipment to the UK and Sierra Leone to stop the spread of ebola, and is key in Operation Impact

to bring supplies to our troops in Kuwait. The C-17 has delivered material to CF-18s deployed in Lithuania in support of NATO as part of Operation Reassurance and the international response to Russia’s aggression against the Ukraine.

“The world is volatile and unpredict-able,” he said. “Increasing our C-17s will decrease the burden on our fleet.”

Nicholson said the C-17 has truly ex-ceptional capabilities with long distance ranges and higher speeds than other air-craft.

Wing Commander Colonel David Lowthian said this announcement is a tribute to 8 Wing as the hub of air opera-tions in Canada.

“No matter the destination, they all pass through CFB Trenton,” he said.

He stated that the new C-17 will in-crease the flexibility of the Canadian Forces in crises and combat roles.

“It has proven to be responsive and reliable,” Lowthian said.

He added that the aircraft travels at three quarters the speed of sound and car-ries four times the load of a Hercules and is quicker and more efficient.

“Having a fifth C-17 will guarantee readiness, availability and reliability,” he commented.

He said the aircraft has been used in Hai-ti, the Arctic, Kuwait and the Philippines.

“The fifth aircraft will respond and sustain operations globally and in Can-ada,” he said. “It flies higher, heavier, faster and deeper.”

By John CampbellNews - Campbellford - When music students at Campbellford District High School heard about Isaac McFadyen having difficulty playing a trumpet because of his short arms, they decided to buy him a smaller instrument.

“The kids were talking about this [one morning] and I said ‘Why don’t we get him a pocket trumpet?’” said CDHS music teacher Dave Noble. It’s smaller than a normal trumpet but “plays the same.”

So he got in touch with a mu-sic store in Toronto that gave the school a reduced price for the instrument and emailed Isaac’s parents, Andrew and Ellen Mc-Fadyen, who thought the idea was “fantastic,” Noble said.

“And in two days we had raised over $500 to buy this trumpet.” CDHS principal Doug Birch helped out in a big way, donating $100.

The school’s senior jazz en-semble “started the ball rolling but the school response was just amazing,” Noble said. “There’s just a lovely vibe in the school; kids are so helpful and support-

ive. It’s been a great year.”The $400 pocket trumpet the

students purchased “is just going to be perfect” for Isaac, and the additional $150 that was raised went to the Isaac Foundation his parents established to find a cure for MPS, the rare debili-tating disease their ten-year-old son has. The enzyme deficiency has stunted his growth, restrict-ed his mobility and damaged his eyesight.

“We are so thrilled that the high school, Dave, and the mu-sic program so thoughtfully put this together for Isaac,” Andrew McFadyen said in an email. “Part of dealing with his disease is ensuring that he can do every-thing that his peers can do.”

The gift of a smaller trumpet will allow Isaac to “continue to improve and perform” with an ensemble taught by Westben Arts Festival Theatre music educator Nancy Elmhirst.

McFadyen said, “Isaac is doing incredibly well,” as a re-sult of a drug he’s been for ten months which has resulted in “lots of positive changes.”

But he “has a hurdle to get over in the new year. In early

January he will undergo the first of two corneal transplants. A bit stressful, but nec-essary.”

The family is “looking forward to the human clinical trials for the gene therapy project” their foundation has been funding.

The results “are incredibly promising and trials will begin very soon,” McFadyen wrote.

Since 2007 the Isaac Foundation has funded more than $600,000 in research to find a cure for MPS.

By John CampbellNews - Trent Hills - Council will fi ght any suggestion that Campbell-ford District High School (CDHS) be closed when the school board be-gins holding a series of focus group meetings to discuss challenges fi ve of its secondary schools face as a result of declining enrollment.

Councillor Cathy Redden urged council to begin making plans now for when Kawartha Pine Ridge Dis-trict School Board offi cials come to Campbellford February 25 to meet with municipal representatives, sec-ondary school students, parents, and teachers and principals from CDHS and its elementary feeder schools.

That meeting will be the last of fi ve focus groups the board has scheduled for high schools across the region where low student num-bers have become an issue; also un-der the microscope are Norwood, Lakefi eld, Port Hope and Clarke (near Newcastle).

“The greatest diffi culty is the ability of these schools to offer a wide range of academic programs and course selections for our stu-dents,” board chairperson Cathy Abraham said in a news release an-nouncing the consultations, which will explore methods currently be-ing used by small schools to sup-port their programs.

The consultations “will also pro-vide an opportunity to share local

future enrollment trends, as well as gather feedback and information from our stakeholders,” Abraham said.

“What we need to do is step forward and make sure that we do whatever is necessary to preserve this high school and [that] the school board hears a strong mes-sage from this community,” Redden said. “We need to have our commu-nity engaged and not just count on our high school staff and principal to make the case of the importance of having those young people in our community.”

The high school is “a key com-ponent” in Campbellford, Redden said, and as important to its eco-nomic development and ability to attract business as the hospital and “a vital downtown.”

It’s also an “income generator” for local businesses during lunch hour, she added.

Redden warned a school ac-commodation review “can be a very contentious process” when it involves two close-knit commu-nities, such as Campbellford and Norwood, being in competition to keep their schools open. The two should be looking at ways to in-crease the ways their schools work together, as they already do in the sharing of some resources, “but we also need to make sure that we’re not pitting one against the other,”

Redden said.CDHS has about 515 students,

Norwood District High School around 400.

Redden is encouraged by reports of a “bump” in student numbers in the lower grades which “will trans-late into increased enrollment in the high school in a few years.”

Council needs to send a message to the school board “that we’re not sitting back waiting for the report to come out, we want to be fully en-gaged and have our say,” Redden said.

Mayor Hector Macmillan backed the councillor, although he said Trent Hills is “less apt to lose a high school” because of where it is and the logistics involved in busing so many students elsewhere.

“Geographically our school is safe for that reason but I certainly would never want to become com-placent,” he said.

He instructed the clerk to fi nd out “where do we get in line” for when the consultation process ar-rives in Campbellford.

Redden gave Norwood “ku-dos” for what the community there has done over the years to act as a champion for its high school.

“Their message has never, ever stopped,” she said. “We also need to do the same thing, [and] take a page out of their book.”

Pointing to the closure of high

Trent Hills council will � ght to ensure high school stays openschools in Peterborough and Cobourg in recent years, Redden said the school board does “make tough decisions,” so council will need to make a strong case to prevent that from happening.

Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-Ma-cLennan said one argument in Campbell-ford’s favour is that Trent Hills plans to build a health and wellness centre in town with an aquatics centre that “can play a big role” in providing programs of interest to the high school.

The school board’s February 25 “work-ing meeting” will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the high school but it will be open to the public who will be given an opportunity at the end to ask specifi c questions.

News - Campbellford - A natur-opathic doctor, Andrea Bull was keen to show the documentary, Fed Up, in her home town of Campbellford last fall, to make the public aware about the food industry’s heavy-handed use of sugar, which is driving up obesity rates around the world.

The showing at the Aron Theatre opened up people’s eyes to the harm being done in the name of profits, but

it did good in another way as well. It generated $610 for Flourish, the Trent Hills Wellness campaign, spe-cifically plans to build a recreation and wellness facility with an aquat-ics centre and rink in Campbellford. Bull is “thrilled” that it will happen one day, as she was a lifeguard and swim instructor at the town’s outdoor pool while attending high school and university.

Documentary generates funds for wellness centre

Naturopathic doctor Andrea Bull, on the left, donated $610 in proceeds she earned showing a document on the food industry to the Flourish wellness campaign. Martha Murphy, executive director of the Campbellford/Sey-mour Community Foundation, and a member of the campaign cabinet, says $464,011 has been raised thus far for Trent Hills recreation re-development projects.

“Many of us had to car-pool to attain our higher level lifeguard and instruc-tor courses, and then again for certification,” she says.

By Stephen PetrickSports - Belleville - The Bel-leville Bulls will celebrate the New Year with the Kingston Frontenacs.

The Ontario Hockey League East Division rival is coming to the Yardmen Arena on Thurs-day, January 1, to help the Bulls kick off the 2015 portion of their season. Note the rare start time of 4 p.m.

It will be the first of a three-game home stand at the Yard-men. The Bulls also host the Peterborough Petes on Satur-day, January 3, at 7:05 p.m. and the Windsor Spitfires on Wednesday, January 7, at 7:05 p.m.

The New Year’s Day game will be the Bulls’ second game following Christmas. On New Year’s Eve, the Bulls hit the road to take on the Barrie Colts.

Hopefully, these games will have more offence than the Bulls’ last home game, prior to Christmas. The Bulls lost 1 - 0 to the Mississauga Steelheads in a shootout on Saturday, December 20. Nobody scored during 60 minutes of regula-tion and five minutes of four-on-four overtime.

In the shootout, Mississau-ga’s Sam Babintsev and Jim-my Lodge scored, while Bel-leville’s Stephen Harper and Brett Welychka were stopped.

Bulls host Frontenacs in New Year’s matineeThat meant Bulls goalie Charlie Gra-

ham took a loss, despite earning a shutout. He had stopped all 36 shots he had faced heading into the shootout. Mississauga’s Spencer Martin took the win in goal, with a 41-save performance.

Two nights earlier, the Bulls travelled to Peterborough and skated to a 5 - 4 win over the host Petes.

Jake Marchment scored two third-peri-od goals, including the game winner, on the powerplay, with two minutes, 40 sec-onds to play in the game. He had scored to break a 3 - 3 tie, about six minutes earlier, but the Petes responded with a goal shortly afterward to tie the game at 4 - 4.

It was a three-point night for March-ment, as he also assisted on a goal by Niki Petti in the first period. Brett Gustavsen and Adam Laishram also scored for Bel-leville on the night.

Connor Hicks took the win in goal with a 30-save performance.

At the Christmas break, the Bulls had played 34 games, exactly half of their 68-game schedule. Their record was 17-14-1-2, good for 37 points and second place in the OHL’s East Division. They’re on pace to earn the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference’s play-off standings.

Bulls Notes: Bulls left-winger Remi

Elie was cut from the Canadian World Junior squad, after being invited to its selection camp ear-lier in December. He was the lone

Bulls player invited to try out for the team that’s now playing in the tournament in Montreal. Elie, a second-round pick of the Dallas

Stars in the 2013 NHL draft, cur-rently leads the Bulls in scoring with 12 goals and 20 assists in 32 games.
