SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - Some councillors say they are "disappointed" they have yet to receive all the answers following the Alice-Dundas project overage. At the latest April council meeting, a staff report detailed payment certificates and additional expenses but it hardly satisfied some. "I would have liked to have seen a more co-ordinated effort by staff to provide a more complete report," said Councillor Brian Ostrander, who was among those who openly stated he was disappointed council is still waiting for answers. In March, council heard almost an extra $235,000 was spent on the roads project without council's approval. (This amount accumulated as the project progressed).

outlined some of the project challenges, which ranged from how staff doesn't typically manage larger capital projects, to a slew of change orders and extra work that was unforeseen. A lot of undocumented underground infrastructure, many minor items discovered during construction that added up over time and too low of a contingency fund have also been cited as issues or contributing factors to the overage. The contingency is something Ostrander is now refuting, saying overspending in this instance would have occurred regardless. Through discussion with staff, the auditor ultimately determined "there was no process in place to track costs throughout the project." Back in March, council asked staff for a detailed report outlining the events that led up to the additional expenses and also wanted answers on what caused the overage. Council further directed staff to implement the auditor's recommendations immediately and asked new procedures be reviewed at a meeting. Cost-options were to be brought forward at a future date. The latest report focused on the additional work for the project and came from public works - it was not what some were expecting. For Coun. Steven Baker, he wanted to see a timeline and dates associated
with payments. He wanted to see "who signed for what and when." For clarification, there are no concerns the money didn't go to the project. This was made clear when the auditor explained, there were no triggers to recommend a forensic audit. Council's issue is the time it took to learn of the overage. In March, council heard staff became aware of the situation in November. Staff said the overage was only realized after the project was done, while summarizing expenses and preparing financing arrangements. The auditor was contacted right away, said chief administrative officer Bill Watson in his March report. (Watson and other senior staff were not present for the latest meeting and have been on leave or vacation in recent weeks). Coun. John Martinello was among those who said he too, was disappointed. He wants to find out "exactly what happened" and why council was left in the dark. "I think we're getting to that and I think in fairness . there are other individuals involved," said Mayor Mark Walas. Council didn't hear from other departments at its meeting. Council has referred the public works report to finance and is looking for a completed report for May 7, which will include all original invoices, work-orders and paperwork related to the project.
Councillors clash SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - Council discussion took a heated turn in the midst of a staff report on the Alice-Dundas road project recently. "Mayor, I don't think it's fair that just one person here is taking the flack for all of this," said Councillor Mary Tadman. At this meeting, council reviewed and discussed a staff report that detailed expenses for the project, though some clearly stated they were expecting more ffrom staffers. With just one member of staff W on hand to speak to the project and payment certificates sitting in the financial department, Tadman insisted council did have access to some of the information it wanted. So, let's just move forward instead of sitting here "attacking one employee, I don't think it's ffair," she said. She then, backed by Deputy Mayor Roger McMurray, made a motion to refer, which means there's no debate.

'Questions remain unanswered'

The motion to refer means council has asked staff to return with further details related to the project overage by its next meeting. Earlier in the meeting, Coun. Laura Vink had made a similar suggestion as Tadman. Meanwhile, after Tadman communicated her concerns, councillors like Steven Baker, who had explained earlier in the night they were hoping for more details to come forward, said no one is attacking any employee. "I am simply asking questions to get clarification," he said. And Tadman's words appeared to have especially irked Coun. John Martinello, who later asked the councillor to apologize. "We were not attacking," said Martinello. "We have come here to discuss an important issue ." Walas then told the councilW lor to "Stop yelling, right now, OK." Soon after, Walas insisted there had been enough latitude given. "Everybody just stop, all your points are taken," he said. The motion to refer then went ahead.

Council votes 6-1 to undergo training SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com
Metroland file photo
Councillor John Martinello was the lone vote against council training.
Brighton Council training will go ahead. Earlier this year and following staff outcry, the consensus was that council would once again entertain the idea of some training, though no formal commitment in the form of a resolution was passed at that time. Instead, and in the wake of tense relations with staff, there was simply an agreement by a majority of council that such training would likely be a good idea. Last Monday, Mayor Mark Walas spoke to the Pesce W and Associates report on council and staff relations. The report was actually ffirst published in 2016.He then called on council to back its previous agreement, so staff could "arrange for training to implement the recommendations coming out of the Pesce report."
The Pesce undertaking began as senior staff raised concerns with council and said they felt "disrespected, devalued and demeaned by the actions, inactions and statements of council." Chief administrative offficer Bill Watson and Walas have both said previously that attempts to continue training failed as those requests ultimately went unanswered. Some, like local resident Emily Rowley, once again asked how and why it had taken two years to get to this and to implement some of the report's suggestions. At this time, Walas said ffollowing the completion of the report, participation was requested for training and council could not come together and was "unable to organize dates." The Pesce report, which included more than a few recommendations, also highlighted the several vacant senior and middle management staff posi-
tions at the time. Pesce and Associates was asked to examine council-staff issues and completed their report. Individual and confidential interviews with staff and council left the consultant to conclude, "There is a significant governance issue in the municipality." Prior to Walas opening the floor up for comments, he made it clear he was looking for a motion and for council to follow through. Coun. Brian Ostrander was quick to respond and didn't bother mincing words, "I would just say, so moved." Coun. Mary Tadman seconded the motion directing staff to arrange for training, as outlined in the Pesce report. Council will now wait ffor staff to come back with a report regarding the training program and schedule. Of the seven members of council, five in a recorded vote clearly cast a "yes" in
ffavour of training. "I just want to say that communication is very important and we need to do more of it," said Deputy Mayor Roger McMurray. Coun. Steven Baker cast his vote with a "sure." It sounded as though Baker was still hoping council might get a tour of the municipal facilities, as he says was promised, and that this would be a helpful fform of education. Baker got no answers to his previous inquiries at the latest meeting. Coun. John Martinello didn't budge from his position on the training since the last time it was discussed. Much like in the last term of council, "I will vote against this type of thing," he said. At this point in this term of council, training would be "a waste of money and effort." Taxpayers should wait and "hope for a better and new council," he said.

SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - A local lawyer and entrepreneur has set up shop along Brighton's Main Street and is looking forward to being involved with and serving the community, he says. Rod MacKenzie and his team have transformed the former 78 on Main restaurant into MacKenzie Law. "I like Brighton, first of all, but Brighton is also growing and this just made sense," said MacKenzie. In 2014, MacKenzie took over for Colborne's retiring lawyer, Peter Hustler. He now has two offices, one in Colborne and one here in Brighton. The lawyer's hope is his new location and presence downtown will be a benefit
to local residents and he's excited to be part of a flourishing community, he said. It's a very short drive between the two offices and it made sense when looking at expanding to open an office here, as many of the clients MacKenzie was seeing in Colborne were from the Brighton area, he said. MacKenzie Law will celebrate its grand-opening with residents and the community on Thursday, April 26. The event will run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Brighton's downtown charm was also undeniable, admits MacKenzie, who in addition to being a businessperson and lawyer is also a major history buff. "This is a beautiful old building," he said, speaking about his new space. "It's got a lot of character."
Originally, MacKenzie hails from Kingston, but over the years, Northumberland has become his home and he now resides in an 1875 homestead in Hamilton Township. With a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Law and then a Masters in Business Administration, he was called to the Ontario bar in 1985 and for many years practised corporate and commercial law with "one of Canada's largest firms." In 1991, he became a partner with the large Bay Street firm. But law isn't the only thing MacKenzie is passionate about. He has also run several retail businesses and for the last 20 years, has owned and operated a manufacturing business "that enjoys both North American and inter-
Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates
national sales." He quite often enjoys talking with his clients about their businesses and loves hearing about their new products and other new widgets and inventions, he said. Some residents may even recall or have used his locally manufactured 'Hi-Spy Viewing Machines' at Presqu'ile Provincial Park, which MacKenzie donated to the park. The MacKenzie family is also a fan of Presqu'ile and bird watching. MacKenzie is inviting people to stop by for the grand-opening event, hoping he and his team can connect more with the community this way. It's a chance to put a face to a name and "I want to get to know the community and for the community to get to know us," said the lawyer.

JERSEY DAY TRIBUTE
New look for the paper makes its debut Starting with last week's edition, readers of the Brighton Independent would have noticed a slightly new look to their local newspaper. While the coverage of local news, sports and features remains the same, the process by which the paper is laid out has been altered with the introduction of the Metroland Central Pagination Centre. The adjustments include a new suite of fonts and headline styles with greater use of white space to make it easier on the eyes. Opinion pieces and columns are more clearly deffined with each now featuring individual tags to distinguish them from straight news stories. In the past, this line has been blurred somewhat, making it difficult to differentiate between what has been written as an objective news report But the biggest whether council, police or even human interest feature change readers - and what is intended as a commentary on those hapwill find has penings. been made to the But the biggest change readers will find has been community made to the community calendar. With a continued calendar. and growing emphasis placed on our website www.northumberlandnews.com, readers are being asked to follow a new process to promote their events. Where in the past, you emailed or phoned in with the key information, we have now made events promotion something of a self-serve process. We'd like to be able to say now, 'If it's in our community, it's on our website'. Getting your event online is quick, easy and free. Log on to www.northumberlandnews.com/events, scroll down and click on 'Post Your Event'. From there, simply fill out the various fields, making sure that your information is accurate.

You can still contact us via email (rcoyne@metroland.com) and we can upload your information to appear online which also makes it available to us for publication. This is a significant departure for our events calendar, which has been a staple of the paper for many years.

the artistry that blooms here. It not only shines a light on businesses and farmers and supports them, this is place where local people are embraced and celebrated and where families come together. Eric Barnhorst and his young daughter Rose from y the Eva Mae Farm spent every Sunday together at the market last year. The "most dedicated little helper," as described by her father, handled the cash box each week. And who doesn't remember when Jessica Root (from the Bakery Warkworth) celebrated Mother's Day weekend at the market, with her one-week-old daughter. Volunteers continue to V integrate more special events that coincide with
the market and it's evolved into a hub where groups ffrom nearby nursing homes can visit for the day, just to get out and to enjoy some coffee, sweet treats and other foods, all to the tune of a lively musical program. The Artisan Market will also return this year on the last Sunday of each month, inside the Codrington hall. Attendees can expect: New artists, an expansion of ffrozen, homemade, healthy meals and meats, woodffired breads, pies, new varieties of flowers, baked goods, bison burgers, homemade soaps, crafts, and more and all this in addition to local produce. Opening day is Sunday, May 6. Sarah Hyatt is a reporter S with the Brighton I Independent.

35 Alice St. expansion inching closer to completion, big grant for library SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - Municipal staff say the renovation and expansion project at 35 Alice St. remains on point and on budget. While things are jumping around a bit, the final completion date for the project has not changed, Lucas Kelly recently told council. K Kelly is Brighton's manK ager of capital infrastructure and he's also confirmed the project remains within its budget. The renovations are expected to be complete this summer. "As we can see, the work is progressing at a reasonable pace here," said Mayor Mark Walas. "We're waiting ffor the front windows to come any time, so they can get those in ." The brief project update ffollowed after a visit from Mellissa D'Onofrio-Jones, CEO of the Brighton Public
Library and Bob Burke, chair for the library board of trustees. The pair visited council recently to talk about current library services and fundraising eff forts. At this time, the duo opted to also publicly thank council for its "initiative and fforesight" to proceed with the expansion project, which largely benefits the library as it will essentially double its footprint. "We've discussed this for a long time and here we are underway to a newer and larger facility to house the Brighton Public Library," said Burke. "We're looking fforward to a 21st century library." It was important for the board "to thank you all" publicly, the chair told council. About 1,000 boxes of books are sitting in the old health unit space now, just waiting for a new home on the shelves in the expanded
library space, said D'Onof frio-Jones. During this update, ffunds raised for the furnishings and shelving for the new space had reached $36,000. Multiple grants and applications to various ffoundations have also been sent out, the CEO noted. Attendees heard library staff and the board were waiting and hoping these may help provide a boost toward the $150,000 fundraising goal. Burke said several businesses and service clubs have also been approached ffor help. "We are confident we will reach our goal in due time," he said. Just two days later, the J board and fundraising committee announced the John M. and Bernice Parrott Foundation gifted $50,000 F ffor new furniture and equipment. This leaves $64,000 left to raise.

Trent Hills - Fire Chief Tim Blake said he's never seen anything like it before: four major structure fires within a week. "It's unusual," he said. The first one, on April 11, destroyed a house trailer with additions, leaving a family of three without a home (as reported last week in the Independent). Two days later, on the morning of April 13, a Quonset hut on Trent River Road sustained $450,000 in damages - there was "a lot of stuff in it," along with a small backhoe that had been recently purchased, Blake said and that night, a house on Trent View Drive, was destroyed by fire. The couple and their five children who live there were not home at the time. "The father had just come home from work and opened the door up to ... full smoke," Blake said. He estimated total damage to house and contents at $300,000. Then on Saturday night, April 14, a fire broke out in a garage on Trent Valley Cemetery Road, causing smoke damage to the house it was attached to but the place was still "livable," Blake said. Damage was estimated at $100,000. The firefighters disaster fund assisted victims in three of the fires, providing temporary accommodations and $500 Giant Tiger gift certificates for the purchase of necessities "to get them back on their feet," Blake said. The store makes donations as well, he said. The fires at the Trent River Road and Trent View Drive properties were still being investigated at the time of the interview but none was considered suspicious, Blake said. He reminded residents to have working smoke alarms and to shut the door when they are forced to flee their home as a result of a fire. Blake said charges will be laid against one property owner because a smoke alarm had been removed and another was missing. The fine is $235.

Engineering, design for roads and dump truck contracts awarded SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - Ainley Graham and Associates Limited has picked up the engineering services contract for Russell, Napier and Monck streets. Ainley Graham and Associates was the lowest bidder for the contract and was also scored the highest by municipal staff, though by just one point. "Staff feel very comfortable giving this project to them ." said Lucas Kelly, manager of capital infrastructure. Council has chosen to back staff's recommendation and the group's proposal for the engineering services - design tender preparation and contract administration, which comes in at $154,652.50 before HST. The design, tender preparation and contract ad-
ministration is for Russell, from Ontario to Centre, Napier, from Napoleon to Monck, and Monck, from Ontario to Maplewood. Staff put a lot of detail regarding what's expected into this request for proposal, said Kelly. Brighton received two other bids for the project, one from D.M. Wills Associates Limited for $173,109 and the other from the Greer Galloway Group, for $197,430. D.M. Wills was scored one point lower than Ainley Graham and Associates and the Greer Galloway Group 10 points lower. Ainley Graham and Associates tasks will include completing a detailed preengineering field survey, the geotechnical investigation and will also handle construction administration and design drawings for the reconstruction of roads, to name a few. Once the survey, design
and tendering process is done, reconstruction of roadways will start. Staff will bring an award recommendation report to council before. Council has also approved and awarded the tender for a new 2018 diesel-powered single-axle dump truck, complete with a snowplow harness, twoway plow, wing and all-season dump body/spreader. Staff's recommended tender is under budget by $56,410.30 and comes in at a value of $229,549.63 plus HST. There was just one other bidder, in addition to the successful bidder, Tallman Truck Centre. The Premier Truck Group came in at $234,957. Following review of the two, Tallman Truck Centre met all requirements and was the lowest, said Richard Sparham, manager of public works and environmental services.

Energy bills tend to be high in summertime, when many people crank up their air conditioners in an attempt to combat the heat. For some households, higher energy bills might be stretching their budgets, while others might be looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprints. Conserving energy can help homeowners save money and help the planet at the same time. And reducing energy consumption in the summer does not require men and women to sacrifice comfort in the name of conservation. In fact, various strategies can help homeowners and apartment dwellers reduce their summertime energy consumption. • Stop cooling an empty home. A cool home might be the ultimate necessity during summer heat waves, but there’s no reason to cool a residence when no one is home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, operating thermostats more efficiently can help homeowners trim their cooling costs by as much as 10 percent. One way to be more efficient with thermostats is to keep the house warmer than normal when no one is home. Programmable thermostats can be set so air conditioning units turn on shortly before residents arrive home, ensuring the house is comfortable and no energy is wasted. • Narrow the gap between indoor and outdoor temperatures. The DOE notes that the smaller the difference between the temperature indoors and outside the lower cooling costs will be. While it may be tempting to set thermostats to room temperature (68 F) on days when temperatures reach 90 F or above, that’s an enormous temperature gap that will result in a high energy bill. Instead, the DOE recommends setting thermostats to 78 F whenever possible. • Open the windows at night. Daytime temperatures, particularly during the dog days of summer, may necessitate the use of air conditioners. But men and women who live in climates where temperatures drop considerably at night can sleep with their windows open. This reduces energy consumption and saves money, and can be a great way to introduce fresh air into a home during a time of year when air can become stagnant. • Do not set air conditioner thermostats at lower than normal temperatures when turning them on.The DOE notes that setting thermostats at lower than normal temperatures when turning air conditioners on will not cool homes any faster than setting them at typical temperatures. Such a strategy will only lead to excessive energy consumption and higher energy bills. • Install ceiling fans. Ceiling fans can improve cooling efficiency in a home. According to the DOE, ceiling fans allow men and women who use air conditioners to raise the thermostats on their AC units about 4 F without adversely affecting comfort levels. Men and women who live in temperate climates may find that ceiling fans are enough to keep rooms cool without the need for air conditioners. Homeowners can combat high utility bills and excessive energy consumption during the summer with various eco- and budget-friendly strategies.

Cramahe to put on hold for a year new marijuana production facilities JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Cramahe Township - An interim control bylaw is being prepared that will put on hold for one year any proposal to establish a medical marijuana production facility in the township. The municipality will use the time to undertake a study regarding this particular kind of land use. Chief administrative officer Craig Brooks noted in his April 17 report to council that "municipalities across the province have been ffaced with increased pressure to accommodate" medical marijuana facilities since the federal government passed legislation to ffully legalize marijuana. The new system is to come into effect later this year. Brooks said most municipalities have been caught off-guard "and are attempting to stay ahead of the legis-
lation and the new industrial sector it has created." The interim control bylaw will allow township staff "to liaise with colleagues" in other municipalities in Northumberland County to develop policies "that will properly deal with any medical marijuana facilities" that show an interest in setting up in Cramahe. Sharpshooter Industries Inc. in Belleville is the most recent one. It has entered into an agreement to purchase a four-acre property on Lakeport Road and obtained Health Canada approval to operate a facility, subject to receiving a licence to cultivate after an existing building is retrofitted and passes an inspection. Council supported the proposal in February on the recommendation of its planning co-ordinator Himanshu Katyal who said the property's general industrial zoning permits a facility

of its kind to locate there. Coun. Tim Gilligan criticized the federal government for not doing more to help communities adjust to the new circumstances being thrust upon them. "We have to look after ourselves, it's just a matter of protecting our own township and making sure that every taxpayer is taken care of," he said. The facilities should be located "in one place ... (and) we should have the final say." Mayor Marc Coombs said the township has had "complaints" with licensed medical marijuana facilities "growing 10 times what they had permits for. "It's got to the point we need to (act)," he said. Asked if there is a groundswell of opposition building in Cramahe to such ffacilities locating in the municipality, Coombs replied: "I would think there is."

Bookstore to host third annual meet-and-greet with authors JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - A writer who won the 2011 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour and an author whose novel The Painted Girls was a No. 1 bestseller in Canada in 2016 will chat with readers at Lighthouse Books on April 28. Trevor Cole and Cathy Marie Buchanan will stop in a for a visit as part of Canadian Independent Bookstore Day. They will be joined by mystery writer Brad Smith and other authors, some local, whose appearances have yet to be confirmed. Of special interest to area readers will be Cole's most recent work, The Whiskey King, published last year, says Lighthouse owner Kathryn Corbett. It's the remarkable true story of Canada's biggest bootlegger during Prohibition, Rocco Perri, and the Mounties' first undercover cop, Frank Zaneth, who sought to bring him to justice. Perri's connection to this area is that one of the people he had hauling booze across Lake Ontario to the United States was Ben Kerr, who eventually struck out on his own and
moved to Presqu'ile Point to ply his illegal trade. "It's quite an interesting read (that's) well-researched," Corbett said. Cole won the Stephen Leacock award for Practical Jean and has twice been shortlisted for the Governor General's Literary Award. Buchanan's historical novel, The Painted Girls, set in Paris, "strikes me as the kind of book that would really appeal to the many book clubs that we've got in town," Corbett said. "There's a lot of fact with it but it's very much a good story. It was on the New York Times bestseller list." This is the third year Corbett has invited several writers at a time into her store to meet the reading public. "It's an exciting opportunity" for local residents, she said. The event previously went by the name of Authors for Indies and was organized by a volunteer group. "Wonderful idea ... (but) it grew very quickly and it became something that was just unwieldy for people to do as volunteers," she said. "However, because it became popular, independent
bookstores didn't want to see it disappear ... nor did authors," so the Retail Council of Canada stepped in to carry it on, Corbett explained. Having authors appear in person has a lasting impact. "I have people still now (who) are talking about the authors they met last year," she said. "There is something about meeting a person when you've read that author's book ... It was really enjoyable last year to watch customers interacting with authors whose books they admired." Last year when mystery writer Linwood Barclay walked in the door, the people waiting in the store clapped. "You could see him nodding humbly, " Corbett
said. "I don't think he expected that out of a small store in a small town, to have such a warm welcome. He has been back in the store since." Cole and Buchanan will be at Lighthouse from 12:30 to 2 p.m., Smith from 11:30 to 12:30. There will be prizes as well as refreshments. Corbett sent news later that another author, Susanna Kearsley, will be taking part in Independent Bookstore Day as well. "She is of particular interest to historical fiction fans," familiar with her work, which includes A Desperate Fortune and Firebird, she said in an email. Her latest book, Bellewether, is to be released April 24, "just in time for our event!"

Brighton man arrested for drugs later tied to crimes in Uxbridge area Quinte West/Brighton A 30-year-old Brighton man has been tied to crimes in the Uxbridge area and is facing multiple charges from possession of crack cocaine, to two counts of theft of a motor vehicle, say police. On Saturday, April 22 at 9 a.m., an officer with the Quinte West detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police stopped a male driver for speeding on Highway 2. "Upon stopping the vehicle, the officer located a quantity of crack cocaine," said police. The male driver was subsequently arrested for possession, though investigation revealed the driver allegedly lied to the officer about his identity and was breaching multiple court orders. "With the assistance of the Durham Regional Police Service, the officer determined that the male driver had broken into a
residence in the Uxbridge area and stolen the vehicle," said police. Further investigation, report police, revealed the male had allegedly stolen numerous items from within other vehicles in the Uxbridge area before fleeing in the stolen vehicle to the Quinte West area. These items were found inside the recovered stolen vehicle. Jesse Fraser, 30, of Brighton, is charged with possession of crack co-
caine, obstructing a peace officer, two counts of theft of a motor vehicle, breaking and entering a dwelling house, two counts of theft under $5,000, three counts of possession of property obtained by crime, three counts of failing to comply with a probation order, driving while under suspension and speeding. The accused was held in custody and was scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Belleville on Monday, April 23.

18 OPINION
Important meeting coming up for Brighton residents Dear Editor: An important meeting will take place the week of May 7. The developer, Mark Walas, is appealing the vote of the Interim Control Bylaw 127-2017 that purports to restrict "Intensified Residential Uses" within an area identified as the "Mature Neighbourhood Study Area" to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). The councillors voted unanimously for the bill to protect existing neighbourhoods. If you want to protect your neighbourhood from unwanted or large buildings, you need to attend this meeting. Already people have had to deal with buildings in Brighton that are unsuitable. With the water problems that Brighton has always had, we do not need to cause any more problems. Some areas close to new developments have already had an increase in water problems. Walas has asked to com-
bine it with his appeal of the Proctor Park Development. This proposed development has many problems: safety issues (exit very close to curve on Highway 30), water problems (stream running through during heavy rains that could easily be pushed onto adjoining properties). It is behind the small backyards of several single family homes on both Young Street and North Drive). The condo will be three storeys high (40 feet) plus four more feet due to fill that will be necessary because of water problems and the slope of the property. The councillors (who had no conflict) voted 3-1 to stop this development. This is a meeting that everyone in Brighton should attend if they want to protect their neighbourhood and not have the problems developers have created in the past and will create in the future if unlimited development is allowed. The OMB has tradition-
ally sided with developers. That is why we as Brightonians need to speak up. The OMB is being disbanded and a fairer way will start up early this year but it will be too late for this meeting. The meeting will be at the North fire hall in Codrington (as of now), the week of May 7. If you wish to speak at the meeting, you need to be there before 10:30 a.m. on Monday. Mary Gibb Brighton

the organization can improve some part of its world and by extension its community. Every year the Trillium Foundation makes decisions on those applications and then the MPPs announce those groups in their ridings which will receive money. That is why Mr. Rinaldi has been making a "raft of announcements." It has nothing to do
with an election and I resent Mr. Campbell's column for trying to mislead by telling only half of the story. Hardly honest journalism. But I did appreciate the irony of the column being placed directly below the photo of Mr. Rinaldi announcing the $469,700 to Community Living for jobreadiness training. Betty Warren Editor's Note: Mr. Camp-
bell's column makes no mention of the Ontario Trillium Foundation but refers in general to investments being made by the government through different instruments throughout the riding, less than two months from an election. It stresses the money being handed out funds worthy projects but that the tradeoff places the province further into debt.

And why not, I’m getting a makeover.”

Brighton — The ‘History Guy’ has done it again. On Saturday, April 7, Dan Buchanan was part of the entertainment lineup at the Down East Celtic Kitchen Party fundraiser, which was in support of the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society. And he didn’t hold back when it was his turn to step up. He made history personal and at the same time, a little playful. “Tonight, I am going to speak, not just about or for the lighthouse, but as [if I am] the lighthouse,” he said. Well-known around town as W the ‘History Guy’ and as one of the first board members for the society, no one will contest that Buchanan knows his stuff. And with the Presqu’ile lighthouse built 178 years ago, he had lots of material to share recently. “Yes, I’m old,” but so what, he told attendees, again speaking as if he was actually the lighthouse. “The civil engineer who designed me was Hugh Nicole Baird,” he said. “He didn’t want to build just a tall barn, he wanted something distinctive [and] different from all the other lighthouses.” That meant the design needed style and flair and then came angles, curves, arched windows and a limestone coat. “I was proud to sit out there at the end of Presqu’ile Point and represent the community of Brighton,” said Buchanan. The lighthouse remembers the many lightkeepers who lived beside him and kept him company over the years. He remembers Mr. Nix’s wharf, over on the mainland at Gosport and how it bustled with even more activity when Mr. Proctor took over and for a time, there were ffour wharves used for loading and unloading the many schooners and boats “that crossed by under my light.” Sailors knew they could voyage toward the light and enter the bay to ride out a storm. “I was really happy to help sailors find safety in bad storms when Presqu’ile Bay was used as a harbour of refuge,” said Buchanan. Some might say, the lighthouse was an unwavering constant and it’s without a doubt survived a lot. From major storms, to back-to-back hurricanes, which roared from the
Gulf of Mexico across the Great Lakes in 1892 and 1893, the lighthouse has stood strong. “We took a direct hit,” in the storm of 1893. “Several times I thought I might end up out in Lake Ontario — it howled for days and rain smashed against me constantly.” While the storm eventually passed, hundreds of ships were damaged or sunk, including Proctor’s three schooners. The storms over the years took a toll, but thankfully a new coat of shingles and paint helped. The lighthouse stood witness while the Presqu’ile hotel and dance pavilion were built. “I started to see a lot of visitors who just came to wander around and look up at me,” said Buchanan. Kids pointed to the light on top and parents explained, “I was protecting sailors and passengers on the boats.” With more cottages built, more camping and picnicking at Presqu’ile, people continued to visit. As the years passed, technology evolved and an electronic light replaced the need ffor a lightkeeper. The lighthouse got lonely, but soon the 1960s came and the music got loud. “Rock and roll, I think they called it,” joked Buchanan. The 1980s featured activity all around. The interpretive centre was built, using the old lightkeeper’s cottage as a display room and visitors now came from all around the world. “I got some sprucing up and was delighted to pose for all those folks who wanted to take pictures. I could hear the different languages as families bantered and threw flat stones across the waves." I was really happy to know that my picture was going to be seen in family photo albums all across the world. Mr. Baird would get a chuckle out of that.” All the while, the weather continued to take its toll, though eventually, some “earnest” folks came along and decided it was time for a makeover. “My old coat is coming off and my new coat is being installed,” said the local historian. Come summer, there will be more visitors and “everyone has a camera” and “pictures of my new coat” will be shared all

Campbellford's Doyle leads Dukes to provincial title, named MVP JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Wellington - The Wellington Dukes are headed to the DudleyHewitt Cup in Dryden next week after defeating the Georgetown Raiders in six games. They were led by captain Colin Doyle, of Campbellford, who was named playoff MVP. Wellington defeated Georgetown 4-3 in overtime at home on Sunday to win the Buckland Cup as Ontario Junior Hockey League champions. Receiving the Brent Ladds Trophy as MVP "felt great, it was a pretty good honour," said Doyle who's 19 and in his third season with the team. The five-foot-11 forward credited his linemates for having such a productive playoffs, 24 points in 25 games (eight goals and 16 assists) after a 54-point season.
"I was getting the bounces, they were going my way," he added. The Dukes had taken a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series only to have the Raiders storm back with a pair of lopsided wins. "It was a pretty up-and-down series," Doyle said. Wellington came close to being ousted in the second round, when it fell behind 3-1 to the Newmarket Hurricanes and then won three straight, including a 3-2 overtime win in game seven. "We just never gave up, we've got a pretty special group of guys," Doyle said. "We believe in each other, there's no quit in the room." Wellington was in first place when it made a coaching change at Christmas, installing former National Hockey League players John Druce as head coach and Derek Smith as assistant coach.
"The ownership felt there needed to be a change," he said. Druce and Smith "know the game pretty well and have a lot of experience," Doyle said. "They're great coaches (who) motivated
us." They also introduced some new systems and "a different perspective on the game." The Dudley-Hewitt roundrobin involving four teams be-
gins May 1 and ends May 5. The winner of the Central Canadian Junior A championship will advance to the Royal Bank Cup and compete for the national title.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Campbellford - Hospital workers across the province took to the streets at noon hour on Wednesday, April 18 to get the public behind their efforts to obtain a new contract. Their number included more than a dozen members of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 2247 at Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH). They marched outside the hospital, carrying placards and singing chants. Contract talks broke down last fall between the Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) and three unions representing 75,000 employees at more than 100 hospitals. It's the first time the three - CUPE, SEIU Healthcare and Unifor - have formed an alliance, to push Ontario hospitals to give its members a modest wage increase and to provide
stronger workplace protections against violence. The OHA signed a deal with the Ontario Nurses Association because it says "ONA is an essential service and we're not," said Daniella Poot, president of CUPE Local 2247. It represents 60 workers - registered practical nurses, housekeeping, dietary, stores and maintenance - at CMH. "They're not valuing the work that hospital staff does besides the RNs," Poot said. The provincial government is putting a lot of money into hospitals "at the same they're not signing our contract." Instead, the OHA is seeking concessions in a new contract, which the unions have vowed to stave off. They include reducing or eliminating pay for employees receiving sick pay, increasing benefit premium costs for full-time em-
John Campbell/Metroland
Members of CUPE Local 2247 at Campbellford Memorial Hospital joined a province-wide rally on April 18 to push for a new contract covering 75,000-plus hospital workers in the province. ployees, and taking into account seniority at a departmental level rather than bargaining unit-wide when layoffs occur. Poot said the unions are concerned the OHA is delaying reaching an agreement because it believes the Progressive Conservatives could win the election in June. "And the new govern-
ment coming into place ... will not be a good thing," Poot said. "Tories don't respect our work at all, they don't respect hospitals." "The last time we had a Conservative government we had a wage freeze." Wanda Tucker, who served as president of CUPE Local 2247 for nearly 30 years, came out of retirement to take part in the ral-
ly and show support for her former colleagues. "The biggest thing that hospital workers have ever done is not fight for wages, they've fought for benefits and work conditions," she said. "Our last increase was .07 per cent the last three years." These negotiations are "probably the worst" she's encountered because they have dragged on so long, Tucker said. The last time CUPE members got "decent wages" was in the late 1980s. Many people don't understand that "hospital workers have never had the right to strike in Ontario so .. we have to fight to get back at the table," Poot said. Campbellford Memorial Hospital's chief executive officer Varouj Eskedjian told her "he respected what we were doing and just wanted to make sure we were going to be respectful," she said.
Poot said negotiations with CMH "are not complete" but they have gone "well." Most issues at the local level have to do with such things as scheduling, uniform allowances, and contract language. "We signed off on a lot of things, but there are a few (matters still to be resolved, including) RPN wages," Poot said. The alliance held a sticker day last week and it combined with the rally on April 18 show that the unions are "really serious" about getting a contract signed. Both sides returned to the bargaining table on the weekend for the first time since talks ended last September. The unions in a news release said they are "optimistic" the resumption of negotiations "will result in a tentative contract that provides a fair wage and no concessions."
