ENSS students Madison Dube and Karissa Jowstra were among many in the school who expressed their condolences in writing to the families who lost loved ones in the fatal Broncos bus crash.

Students pay tribute to Humboldt victims JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Canadians from coast to coast donned sports jerseys last Thursday to show their support for the families who lost loved ones in the fatal crash involving the Humboldt Broncos. Among those taking part were

hundreds of elementary and secondary students in Brighton who wore jerseys to school as a tribute to the 16 people who lost their lives as a result of a collision six days earlier between the team bus and a tractor-trailer in Saskatchewan. "There's been lots of support," said East Northumberland Sec-

ondary School principal Charlotte Filip. Some classroom doors were decorated with hockey sticks while a number of students spelled out Broncos in tape on the back of their jerseys. A book was set out on a table in a hallway for students to sign and express their condolences, "so

that the communities of Saskatchewan can know that all of us here at ENSS and Brighton are thinking of them," Filip said. Grade 11 student Madison Dube was among those who showed support. She sent her "love and prayers" to all the Hum-

OPINION

• EDITORIAL •

Brushing up on the facts The Ontario Association of Public Health Dentistry (OAPHD), along with Public Health Units across Ontario, has launched an awareness campaign for Oral Health Month. The "Brush Up on the Facts: Keep Kids' Teeth Healthy" campaign is geared to parents and focuses on the impact dental health has on children's healthy growth and development and the free dental programs and services that are available for eligible young people up to age 17. Good oral health is important for a child's self-esteem, sense of well-being and overall health. Cavities can be painful, impact a child's ability to chew foods properly, and may affect their ability to pay attention at school or enjoy activities. Anna Rusak, a Health Promoter with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit says children need to have a dental plan. "When children have dental pain, it is more than just a cavity," she said. "Cavities can be painful, limiting a child's ability to chew foods properly and inIt is important for terrupting them from fully paying attention at children to visit a school or enjoying activdental professional ities." It is important for regularly (at least children to visit a dental annually) to professional regularly (at least annually) to prevent issues from prevent issues from starting. Get dental starting. issues checked immediately regardless if they have "baby teeth" or "adult teeth". Fortunately, there are small steps that can be taken today to help children avoid dental issues such as limiting sugary snacks and drinks, helping them brush and floss properly, and contacting the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit for more information. April is Oral Health Month. In addition to helping promote the initiative 'Brush Up on the Facts: Keep Kids Teeth Healthy', the health unit also wants to remind us how they are able to assist families who need help accessing dental care and help determine if they qualify for the Healthy Smiles Ontario program. As reported in the Independent last week, this program can cover regular checkups, preventive care and treatment for eligible children and youth, who are 17 years of age and younger. Call the health unit at 1-866-888-4577 ext. 1247 for more information about this program. For more Brush Up on the Facts information and resources, visit the Ontario Association of Public Health Dentistry website (www.oaphd.on.ca/index.php/brushup-on-the-facts). As Rusak noted, "Small changes today can help to prevent tooth decay, pain and discomfort, making a big difference for your child's health tomorrow."

Moolah from cash cow that is government Pre-election funding announcements are nothing new, John Campbell writes You might have noticed there's been a raft of funding announcements in recent weeks by the MPP for the riding. It's an appropriate image, raft, because there's a river of cash overflowing the province from Queen's Park which I suspect we're being coy here - the government is hoping will bear the bearers of good news first across the finish line on the day the

JOHN CAMPBELL Column electoral race is completed. June 7 if you haven't marked it on your calendar. (June 8, if you're looking for an excuse not to vote. "What, it was yesterday? My mistake.") This is no one-in-one hundred-year flood we're talking about. This kind is far more frequent, once every four

years. In the months before people go to the polls. Happens all the time federally, provincially. What's nice about it is that the benefits are direct, none of this nonsense about prosperity trickling down to the masses from the people on top who get primed with taxpayer dollars in the form of tax cuts. The green stuff - moolah from the cash cow that is government -- washes directly over those most deserving of largesse, the common folk, so that libraries get expanded and deteriorating gazebos get replaced. For example. What's to complain about that? The work is needed. A community is helped and a party gets re-elected (or so it hopes).

It's a Wynne-win situation. But there's a cost when a government's ambitious plans for the next few years require spending well in excess of what it receives in revenue (that doesn't include a share of casino lucre) -- after having finally balanced its budget. It's 'robbing' Peter (your grandson) in order to pay Paul (the contractor) to put an addition on the house or fix the roof. You could say we're living on borrowed dime. The dime belonging to generations to come. No doubt they'll feel indebted for the inheritance we are leaving them. – John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - Volunteerism sure does shine in Brighton, as does the community when it comes together. "We filled the community centre Saturday - we filled it with fans of Celtic music and supporters of the lighthouse restoration project," said Ruth Kerr, the organizer of a Down East Celtic Kitchen Party fundraiser that took place Saturday, April 7. The event, which featured Madman's Window, McGilly Highland Dancers and local historian Dan Buchanan, has raised more than $3,200 for the Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society. "People had a real good time," said Kerr. "So many people have called and

emailed since ." And it was all thanks to volunteers, from the organizers, to the performers, everyone donated their time and talents. "The show of support was definitely there, extra 50/50 tickets were sold, some people bought tickets to the event and they couldn't even attend, they just wanted to show their support for us," said Kerr. "We got cash donations . and the winner of the 50/50 draw even donated their money back to us." The show of support was not only much needed, it meant a lot to Kerr personally. "It feels pretty great to see the support for what we are doing, it made me feel good," said the organizer. Kerr is also a volunteer on the society's board of directors. The group is cur-

ration project. But, people like Kerr aren't easily discouraged. She volunteered her time to put together the fundraiser and was still volun-

teering days after for other initiatives like the high school literacy test. "What's important to me is the projects I work on," she said.

And Buchanan, with a rather unique approach last Saturday, certainly illustrated the importance of the restoration project. During the fundraiser, Buchanan spoke about the lighthouse, its history here as if he was actually the lighthouse. It was such a different approach and "I think people appreciated it and it really caught people's attention," said Kerr. Of course, the five McGilly Highland Dancers were also "thoroughly enjoyed." The band, which donated its time and travelled from Cobourg, was equally amazing and did such a great job, made themselves right at home and "are just terrific people," said Kerr. A lot of the attendees were seniors and they were "dancing and on their toes."

Council accepts offer for land in industrial park Mayor says interest in community continues to grow SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton - The industrial park is continuing to attract attention. Following an in-camera session at last week's planning meeting, council has an accepted an offer for land in the park from Dimitri Transport. The required bylaws will now be prepared to authorize the mayor and clerk to sign on behalf of the municipality for the submitted offer. "We are seeing quite a bit of activity and interest as of late," said Mayor

Mark Walas. "We know more businesses are continuing to look further east for industrial park lands." The industrial park lots here in Brighton are sold at $35,000 an acre and sites are certified and fully serviced. "We're continuing to try and maintain competitive rates with our neighbours," said Walas. Dimitri Transport plans to use the lands for what's described as a storage and repair type facility. The company has a small fleet of equipment and supports building and infrastructure contractors, said Stephen Ashton, manager of planning, building and community development for the municipality. The company owner has 22 years experience, he

said. The business park is designated as employment lands and because of that council "is trying to be selective" and to not just look at offers for warehouses or businesses that want to more or less house items on the lands, said Walas. At the same time and at some point, there does also need to be a balance when it comes to consumer needs, said the mayor. "We continue to look at the merits of each offer and each business coming forward," he said. There is a due diligence phase and the offer paperwork is now heading back to Dimitri Transport, reports Ashton. Should the company commit, hopefully the deal will be closed by the end of the month, he said.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - A family of three is in need of a new home after a fire destroyed their residence Wednesday afternoon, April 11. Their dwelling on Fourth Line East was engulfed in flames when fire-

fighters arrived at the scene shortly after 3 p.m. No one was home at the time. Approximately 50 firefighters from the three stations in Trent Hills responded, to help put out the fire or be on standby, Fire Chief Tim Blake said. "We finished up about

Check out our range of social media channels serving up content from northumberlandnews.com "It appears to have started ... in a basement area at the back of the house." he said. "The wind was blowing pretty good (and) spread it

up through the entire structure before it was even noticed." He estimated the damage to the dwelling and contents was $200,000.

The two adults and a child who live there were put up for the night at a local inn and given $500 to purchase clothes, with money from the local disaster fund. "They lost everything," Blake said. The family was insured, he said.

boldt families "who are hurt right now." "It's very tragic what happened and I feel for them," Dube said. The school also lowered its flag and observed a minute's silence on April 9. What happened out West "really impacts all our students," Filip said, because Brighton and surrounding area "is very much a hockey community" and "certainly as Canadians hockey is very near and dear to our hearts." "It hit everybody very close to home," said Filip, who has a son who plays hockey. Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board director of education Dr. Jennifer Leclerc had sent word out inviting all KPR

employees to participate in Jersey Day on April 12 as a way to honour the victims and all those affected by the tragedy. Filip said about 300 students and most staff wore jerseys or the green-and-gold colours of the Broncos. She said conversations were happening in classrooms and in staff rooms about what had happened. "Definitely everybody was affected," she said. "You don't know how it's impacting different students but I think it's important for staff to have those conversations in the classroom. Those are teachable moments, talking about empathy, talking about how we can help to show our support." It was the same story at Brighton Public School with staff and students wearing jer-

seys and Broncos colours. "We want to show our support for the Humboldt community and that we're thinking about them and what they're going through," having "suffered a terrible loss," principal Todd Bishop said. At both schools photos were taken of the student body wearing jerseys. Lisa Ryckman, an early childhood educator, said her kindergarten students covered their classroom door with paper hockey sticks they had coloured. She "was surprised by how much they actually knew" about the fatal crash, despite being so young. A hockey parent once herself, "it touches home," Ryckman. "It's hard to see people have to go through such a tragedy."

Brightonians show support for Broncos victims, families Brighton Clothing Depot one of many community initiatives SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - This community is small, but Brightonians' have big hearts and they break for the many suffering as a result of the Humboldt Broncos' bus crash, says Karen Weese. The president of the Brighton Clothing Depot is one of many throughout the community and nation this past week who found ways to show their support for the Saskatchewan junior hockey team, players' families and the many affected by the tragic crash. "I think this hits home for everybody - minor hockey ties all our communities together across this country," said Mayor Mark Walas, as he visited with the depot volunteers recently and joined countless others in a show of solidarity while sporting hockey jerseys. Minor hockey is also a part of this community's identity and when Weese and other depot volun-

teers learned the team's bus and a semitruck collided at a rural crossroads as the team was heading into game five of a playoff series, they felt compelled to do something. In the days following, volunteers began decorating the depot in the team's colours and set up hockey skates, sticks and other gear in the window. The group also decided to set up a donation jar at the front desk. "We haven't set a goal or anything, it's just there if people want to give a little something and we're going to leave it for a bit," said Weese. The donations will go to the team's GoFundMe campaign, which had surpassed $11 million as of Saturday, April 14. This is said to be the largest crowdfunding effort ever in Canada. Weese got the idea to put out the donation jar after talking with a senior friend in Trenton. He wanted to do something, but didn't know what or how, she said. Weese suggested the GoFundMe campaign and her friend asked if she would help and then she thought, perhaps the depot should extend that offer. "People want to do something to help and

this is the only way we can think to help," said Nancy Sheppard, the depot's first-vice. As many know, the depot, through the sale of second-hand goods, funnels all its money back into the community and to groups like minor hockey or the youth centre. This isn't a big thing, but it seemed like the right thing, said Weese. This has personally touched a lot of people, she said. The crash has claimed 16 lives and 13 were injured. The nation has not only responded with monetary contributions, there have also been spikes in blood donations and in registrations for organ donations. "Young Logan" Boulet's decision to be an organ donor "personally touched me," said Weese, who has experienced the loss of a son. The 21-year-old defenceman is said to have helped six people with his decision to sign his donor card. Sheppard is also one of many who've put a hockey stick on her porch. It was her daughter's stick. Her daughter died at age 18, but before she passed she organized a hockey game with Ottawa members of parliament.

"They all signed her stick for her and we've put it out on the porch and are keeping our light on," said Sheppard. Elsewhere in the community, businesses like Little Caesars and schools supported Jersey Day. At last week's planning meeting, Walas also led council in a reflection and council held a moment of silence to honour the individuals lost and to show support for the families and communities affected by the crash.

Health unit issuing suspension orders, says staff Northumberland School suspension orders are being issued to hundreds of students. The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit is once again urging families to update vaccination records so students can avoid missing school. "School suspension orders are a last resort and only issued when students and their families have not updated their vaccination records with the health unit," said Marianne Rock, manager of communicable disease prevention and control. "We encourage families who receive these suspension orders to contact us immediately so vaccination records can be updated and students won't have to miss a day of class." Last week, the health unit said it was sending school suspension orders to about 600 students in Hali-

burton County, Northumberland County and the City of Kawartha Lakes. Parents and caregivers can update records by calling the health unit at 1-866888-4577 ext 1507 or by visiting www.hkpr.on.ca. The new Immunization Connection Ontario (ICON) website (http://hkpr.icon.ehealthontario.ca) is also an option and lets families track, manage and update records online. Under the Immunization of School Pupils Act, all students attending school must be fully vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis (whooping cough), varicella (chickenpox) and meningococcal disease. In many cases, students have received all vaccines but records haven't been shared with the health unit, which is necessary, reports staff. Students may also be ex-

empted from vaccinations for medical reasons and issues of conscience or religious belief, but if none of these options are followed, school suspension orders take effect in late April. "The last thing the health unit wants to do is suspend students, but we are legally required to ensure students attending school are fully vaccinated against certain vaccine-preventable diseases," said Rock. Back in January, the health unit first contacted about 2,500 students regarding vaccinations records. "Over the past three months, we were able to update the vaccination records for most students who faced possible school suspension," said Rock. "Now we want to work with parents and guardians to ensure that the last few hundred students are fully vaccinated and protected... and do not miss a day of school."

OPINION

Brighton's Own: A county cat's best friend

VIC SCHUKOV Column

Focus on felines makes Brighton artist's works unique, Vic Schukov writes Natural-born painters have an innate knack for observing the tiniest details of their drawing subjects. Donna Goulding is such an artistic witness: "I remember when I was 10, sitting by a river, and started to think about artists who paint these kinds of landscapes, and realized I that it would be really neat to be an artist. Once that thought occurred, I started to see things differently." Goulding was born in Toronto, and moved to Whitby at age three. While she left home at 19 to attend Calgary's Alberta College of Art, her parents resettled in Brighton. Four years later, the graduate joined her family here. "So, I left Whitby and came back to Brighton." What makes Goulding's work and interests special is that her hundreds of

Vic Schukov/Metroland

Donna Goulding shown here in Brighton. paintings are almost all about cats. Something about that artist's third eye: "I have been in love with cats since I was four years old. I grew up with them. They are all the same shape, some with slight differences, but if you look close enough, you see the colours are all different even when they are almost identical to each other. When I look into pets' eyes, I see their uniqueness and emotions as complete individuals, and I want to show the world that aspect through my art." (For a while, she was even a member of an organization called the Friskies Cat Club.) Goulding has entered juried shows such as Warkworth's Spirit of the Hills where one of her cat paintings won an award for Most Evocative. "The artist/judge made up the category on the spot because he was so affected." Her work is presently on

display at Capers Restaurant in Campbellford (since February). She also organized arts shows for the Trenton Arts Council. "It was another aspect of the art world I studied at ACA. I was assistant curator for the student gallery within the school in my third year." Aside from often wearing clothing and jewelry with cats on them, she volunteered for the Northumberland Humane Society in Port Hope from 20042012; her functions included being a cruelty agent, a member of the board and managing their feral cat program. "I took the pictures and stories of all the rescued cats and turned them into my art to give them a voice." With friend Sherri Smith, she also started a county feral program called Sherri's Ferals' Spay & Neuter program. "Somehow, I feel closer to them than any other an-

imal. I think about all the stray cats in the wild, suffering in the outdoors and having to fend for themselves. I feel a bond with them. I love them and do what I can to stop their suffering." Remarkably, Goulding has actively pursued her painting and animal care passions while enduring both Crohn's disease and severe arthritis since teenhood. A homebody at heart, she relishes the company of her three cats. "I love Brighton and the county. It is absolutely beautiful. I feel lucky every day because I can look out on the hills of Northumberland." And Goulding expresses her philosophy on life in both a playful and retrospective fashion: "In one word, yougottawannadoit. I have had that on my mind since early childhood. If you don't have the will and the energy to do something, it's not going to get done or it will be done badly. You have to want to do

it. I have been very lucky in life to have had a lot of great people around me. I am so lucky to have my parents' support in everything I do, and am forever grateful to them." For more information on Donna Goulding's pet paintings or the feral cat

program, you can email her at cattales_6@yahoo.com or phone 905 269 3581. – Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a longtime journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people; victorschukov@gmail.com.

SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Quinte West/Brighton The Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation is calling on residents to help with the purchase of a new computed tomography (CT) scanner. The foundation is asking residents to consider showing their support for the CT campaign and hospital this October during a "Caribbean Nights" themed gala, which is the foundation's big annual fundraising event. "One of our most dedicated supporters has been encouraging the committee to do a Caribbean theme for several years, so with his help and guidance, we decided now was the time," said Jennifer Rainbird, gala co-chair. "We want our guests to have a fun, elegant evening filled with dancing [and] maybe

even limbo ." The gala is set for Saturday, Oct. 20, at the Trenton Ontario Knights of Columbus Hall. As the region's "premier black tie event," the gala raises much-needed funds for major medical equipment for the hospital. This year, the focus is to raise funds to replace the hospital's 12-year-old CT scanner. It is estimated the new one will cost about $1.4 million. So, if you're into warm breezes off the water, the scent of tropical flowers, romantic music and of course, drinks with paper umbrellas, the plan is to "conjure up an evening to be remembered." The event will come alive "with the excitement of the Caribbean life" and feature a "fabulous steel drum band and vocalist," Caribbean cuisine by Occasions by the Bay, vibrant

colours of the islands and Jamaica rum punch. "The silent and live auction will be filled with items of exceptional quality and variety [and have] something for everybody, including a week of luxury at a Jamaican resort with airfare for two, a trip to Disney World for a family at March break 2019, hockey packages and so much more," said Lynn Lake, gala co-chair. "The latest electronics, getaways [and] home decor are just some of the exceptional items to entice bidders." Sponsorships and donations are key to the success and future of TMH, reports the foundation. People interested in supporting the gala or wanting an information package should contact Laura-Lee Bradie at the foundation office at 613392-2540 ext. 5867.

Brighton's Blue Dragons track team off to a flying start JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Results at the Dome High School Track and Field Development Series held at Ottawa on April 12 point to the Blue Dragons enjoying another successful season. Forty-eight members of the East Northumberland Secondary School track and field team competed, garnering more than a dozen firsts, with many achieving personal bests. "The highlight of the entire meet," said coach Anne

Falla, was Sam Hall's "spectacular achievement of a new personal best of 2.13 metres in senior high jump." Hall also led the senior 4x400-metre relay team which included Reece Herrington, Jake Hollinger and Jacob Gilbert - to a first-place finish and finished second in the 100 m (with a time of 11.07 seconds). In the midget division, 10 Blue Dragons placed in the top three, with two of them collecting firsts: Taylor Powell (first in both

long jump and 100 m); Gavin Camp (first in shot put, second in the 400 m); Morgan Newberry (second in the 800 m and third in the 1,500); Isaac Hollinger (third in both the 1,500 and the 3,000 m); Olivia Arthur (third in the 800 m); Aaron Molenhuis (third in the 800 m), and; Lydia Schmoll (third in the 3,000 m). The midget boys 4x100-m relay team of Nate Bell, Graison Morrison, Michael Patrick and Gavin Camp came in third. In the junior division, ENSS had six place in the

top three, with three of them finishing first: Trinity Bannister (first in both long jump and the 100 m); Kya Bailey (first in the 100 m, second in 80-m hurdles and third in the 100 m); Garrett Bird (first in shot put); Jacob Gilbert (second in both long jump and the 400 m); Jessica Livingstone (third in the 100 m), and; Ben Hunt (third in the 1,500).

No serious injuries from ice-storm related collisions Northumberland - Police are reporting no serious injuries following the region's recent ice storm, but there were several motor vehicle collisions (MVC) keeping police busy. Around 3 a.m. on Monday, April 16, police responded to a report of a jackknifed tractortrailer in the westbound lanes of Highway 401 just west of County Road 30 and the Brighton Exit #509. "The truck struck the centre median causing undetermined damages," said Const. Steve Bates. "The driver was not injured nor were any other vehicles involved." The westbound lanes were closed for a period of time with

some traffic getting through on the shoulder and all lanes reopened shortly before 9 a.m., report police. From about 6 p.m. on Friday, April 13 to Monday, April 16 at 8 a.m., Northumberland OPP responded to a total of 53 motor vehicle collisions, 49 of which occurred on Highway 401. "No serious injuries were reported and [collisions] mainly involved single motor vehicles losing control due in part to the freezing rain conditions that persisted over the past several days," said Bates. Meanwhile, in Prince Edward County, police are thanking the public following the ice storm.

On Tuesday, April 17, the Prince Edward County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police issued a statement and sent out "a big thank you" to local residents. "With the largest ice storm to come through Southern Ontario in recent memory, OPP responded to over 1,000 collisions across the province of Ontario," said Const. Patrick Menard. Prince Edward County OPP say they responded to zero reported collisions. "The OPP want to say thank you and remind everyone to continue listening to public service announcements regarding weather warnings and to drive to conditions."

Five ENSS seniors placed in the top three, with three of them topping the field: Jake Hollinger (first in the 3,000-m race, with a personal best time of 9:01); Allison MacDonald (first in the 400 m); Julia Martin (first in the 800 m); Tristan Flatt (second in shot put), and; Katie Larry (third in long jump). The girls 4x100-m relay team of Katie Larry, Leah Herrington, Madi White and Allison MacDonald finished first while the boys relay team of Jared Hall, Ben Snider, Reece

Herrington and Sam Hall was second. The open girls 4x400 m relay team of Morgan Newberry, Madi White, Julia Martin and Allison MacDonald also finished first, while teammates Taylor Powell, Kya Bailey, Molly Patrick and Katie Larry finished third in the same event.

ENSS students helping each other stay positive with their messages JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Knowing how to stay positive is something of a puzzle to the students at East Northumberland Secondary School. And a large one, at that 10 metres long and 1.5 metres high. It's a jigsaw puzzle made of card stock attached to the wall in the hallway outside the library, and each of the 1,000-plus pieces has an upbeat message written on it by a student or a teacher. The project was the brainchild of a committee formed to promote a positive outlook on life, in keeping with the school board's commitment to student and staff mental wellness, said teacher-librarian Nancy Wilson. Its focus is to make the school community "more kind." Principal Charlotte Filip, four teachers and six students sit on the committee. The school's students were invited to say something positive or find a quote offering the same view. They could also do "a shout-out to somebody (who) did something nice for them," Wilson said. "A lot of creativity went into

Among those taking part in the ENSS Positive Pieces project are teacher-librarian Nancy Wilson and students Holly Tetzlaff, Julia Lawrence, John Timpson, Victoria Sommerville, and Julia Martin. John Campbell/Metroland

some (of the) pieces." They were handed out in "kindness kits" and Wilson and educational assistant Crista Hunt spent two days putting all the pieces together, with the help of students. Wilson said "it's been really nice to see" how many students stop and read what others have written and smile. They wrote positively and in return could find something in the puzzle to help them "stay positive and live their life with hope." The project, completed in late March, is another example of how the ENSS community functions like a family and its students learn "life lessons" on the path to becoming adults, Wilson said.

Register today to become an organ and tissue donor!

Members of the student volunteer group, the Kindness Crew, that sit on the committee, spoke enthusiastically about the project. Grade 9 student John Timpson said it was "really nice" that the students and teachers came together to support school spirit and "positivity." Anyone feeling down or lonely could look to the puzzle and "see how people are actually on your side." Grade 11 student Victoria Sommerville said "it's really cool" to walk by and read the positive messages. "I've heard a lot of people say it's really neat," she said. Julia Lawrence, a Grade 10 student, said, "ENSS has done some pretty cool things, but as some

of the teachers said, this is one of the coolest things we've done because it includes all the students and all the staff." Grade 12 student Holly Tetzlaff said that whenever she walks by the puzzle, she catches a glimpse of a positive message that sticks with her. "It really brings something to my day for sure," she said. Julia Martin, who's also in Grade 12, said the messages show that "everyone cares" and wants all to succeed, so it's "a great atmosphere to be in." The puzzle will remain in place until the end of the semester. "Then we'll find some way to make it so that we can pull it off and hang it somewhere," Wilson said.

Be A Donor

Most of us support improving and saving lives through organ and tissue donation, but only a fraction of us actually take the time to register. This disparity between good intentions and actions has real-world consequences. While thousands of people have received the gift of life, others have died waiting because there just are not enough organs to meet the demand. Today, more than 1,500 people in Ontario are on the waitlist for a lifesaving organ transplant, and every three days someone will die without one. Some patients have been on dialysis for years; others are waiting for lungs to breathe on their own again; while others have burns so severe that they require skin grafts.

Others may not have registered under the misguided assumptions of religious restrictions, but the fact is, most major religions support organ and tissue donation and may even encourage it, as it can save a life. Find out more and register at www.beadonor.ca.

By registering to become a donor, you can have the power to save or change someone’s life. One organ donor can save up to eight lives and enhance as many as 75 more through the gift of tissue. A beating heart, strong lungs, a healthy liver or functioning kidneys will save the life of someone in the end stages of terminal diseases. Eyes can restore sight; skin can help burn patients; heart valves can help patients with congenital heart disease; and bones, tendons and ligaments can help people walk and run. “Registering as an organ and tissue donor is one of the most selfless, altruistic decisions anyone can make,” says Ronnie Gavsie, president of Trillium Gift of Life Network, the agency responsible for overseeing organ and tissue donation in Ontario. “Based on the support we know exists for donation, we could put an end to preventable deaths on the waitlist if more people registered.” So, what holds people back? Some believe their age or health prevents them from being an organ donor. In actuality, age does not preclude someone from becoming a donor, and each potential donor is assessed at the time of death for medical suitability.

On Wednesday, April 11, 80 ENSS students travelled to Trent University to present their science projects. "A total of 735 projects were presented at this year's fair," said ENSS teacher Anne Falla. "ENSS students combined efforts to take the top school prize in the intermediate division and the top school prize in the senior division." The intermediate division includes students in grades 9 and 10 and the senior division includes students in grades 11 and 12. Holly Tetzlaff, a Grade 12 student, was one of the

big winners at the fair, taking home four awards and she's also earned her shot to present her project at the Canada-Wide Science Fair. Tetzlaff won the Kathleen Peacock Award for Best of Fair and also claimed first place in the earth and environmental science senior division. In addition, she took home the Trent University Science Fair Award for the most deserving senior project and the Water Environment Association of Ontario Award. By winning the Kathleen Peacock Award for Best of Fair, Tetzlaff earned her chance to present her project, "Now You See It, Now You Don't," at the Canada-Wide Science Fair, which will be held in Ottawa in May. In the physical and mathematical science division, a number of senior

ENSS students were also acknowledged for their work. Lukas Gomez and Cooper Reid took home the big win, while Jordan Harbour and Nathan Orr earned second place. Julia Martin, another ENSS student, took home third place and Georgie Tolmacs earned an honourable mention. ENSS also swept the computing and engineering science division. Nate Smith took home the top spot and Jonathan Fawcett and Gabe Sinclair were second. Andrew Murdoch won third place and Sam Dibbits and Brendan Pennington received an honourable mention.

ac Sunfire. No other information was available Wednesday after 4 p.m. and police said the investigation is still ongoing and was "too new" to provide any further details. In an update Thursday, April 12, Northumberland OPP Constable Steve Bates said, "The injured man was a tenant, not the landlord." The accused person who drove the car, temporarily pinning the tenant between two vehicles, "was a friend of someone staying at the tenant's place," said Bates Thursday. The driver, a 22-year-old Brighton man, was arrested and charged with assault with a weapon and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. He has been released and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brighton on Tuesday, June 5, 2018. The three people involved "are closely enough associated to each other" that police will not identify the accused to protect the identity of the victim, said Bates.

Shared Network Canada proposes 60-metre tower on Sharp Rd SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - Shared Network Canada would like to construct a 60-metre tri-pole tower at 50 Sharp Rd. The municipality has received a site plan application for the tower, though council will have no say regarding the project. "It will be the federal government that makes a decision," said Stephen Ashton, Brighton's manager of planning, building and community development. At the April planning meeting, the manager provided council with a brief update on the proposed wireless radio-communication tower and explained that although the site process for these towers is federally regulated, there will be a public process component. Combined with Ashton's report, there was also a 'notice package' from Shared Network

Canada, which outlined details of the proposal. "In response to significant rising demand for wireless voice and data services in the southeast Brighton area, Shared Network Canada is proposing to construct a new lattice tower installation to facilitate co-location for all radio-communication carriers," the correspondence reads. The base of the tower and associated equipment will be fenced in and not accessible to the public, to ensure the safety of all residents, said Shared Network Canada. "There is an increased need and reliance for optimal, to near flawless wireless radiocommunication coverage to assist with current capacity issues in the southeast corridor of Brighton. “Due to increased personal device use in and around southeast Brighton, there is a greater need for coverage in the community surrounding the proposed tower location."

The new installation, reports Shared Network Canada, will significantly enhance current service with a growing customer base. The tower will allow for the co-location of all carriers to "help improve voice and data coverage." Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISEDC) is the governing body for installations of this type. A public information session was held on Tuesday, April 17 at the King Edward Park Community Centre. The public commenting period will go until May 12. The municipal affairs manager for Shared Network Canada can be reached by email (municipal@sharednetwork.ca) or by phone (647-3608197). Residents can also request additional information this way and are asked to reference SNC0087 in correspondence.
