Citizen of the Year recognized
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Brighton's Citizen of the Year has a knack for raising money, and he's been doing it for
years, for many worthwhile causes. Keith Smith was recognized for K his efforts at the 2018 Civic Awards Gala, held April 28 at the King Edward Park Community Centre. Dennis Fletcher, the evening's
MC, told the 100 people in attendance that Smith has been a member of the Brighton Lions Club for 45 years and in that time has operated fundraising barbecues at Applefest car shows, dragon-boat races, tournaments and the Co-
drington Farmers' Market. He started out with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and Easter Seals and later got involved in fundraising at Trinity-

Smith also travelled, at his own cost, to Haiti, to help build an orphanage, and he was an original member of the Syrian Refugee Family Sponsorship Project, which raised $80,000 to support a family ffor one year. There's enough money left over to sponsor a second family in future. Smith will "do anything" to help a fundraiser succeed, including having his head and beard shaved ffor the Three Oaks Women's Shelter, Fletcher said. "This gentleman never gets exhausted."

park. Several other awards were handed out to local residents who, by their contributions, "make up the soul of the community," Fletcher said. Outstanding achievement in the arts - The East Northumberland Secondary School musical production team, whose shows "are beyond what one expects from a high school or local drama groups." Produced by staff and volunteer members of the community, they not only entertain, they allow students to "gain life skills and experience, and make memories that last them a lifetime," Fletcher said. In a videotaped message, drama teacher Paul Hussey thanked the municipality for the recognition. He and other team members couldn't attend,
as the school was perfforming its latest musical, Aida, that evening. Outstanding achievement in athletics - Carly Payne, a 17-year-old Grade 12 student at ENSS who was instrumental in fforming a figure-skating team at the school and served as its captain. She has already become a proffessional coach while still in her teens. Outstanding community service - the Happy Quilters, who in 13 years Q have made more than 3,500 items, most of them quilts, that "have comforted and cheered many," Fletcher said. Outstanding youth Ryan Pearce, for his work as a Friends of Presqu'ile Park volunteer the past two years. He has been "courteous, dependable, hardworking, eager," helping
out at various events, Fletcher said. He, his wife Dorothy, Ralph de Jonge and Catherine Stutt also earned a Mystery Category award ffor their work on the Brighton Digital Archives (BDA). The group has logged more than 2,000 volunteer hours during the past three years, preserving Brighton's history "one image at a time," said their presenter, Terry Denyes. The goal of its very popular Brighton Barn Project is to identify every barn in the municipality. To date, it has listed more than 130 barns on its website, vitacollections.ca. BDA has also produced a ffive-part video on Memory Junction and launched a J YouTube channel dedicated Y to Brighton's history.

SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - If you missed the debut of East Northumberland Secondary School's production of Aida, students are still holding out hope you'll make time for the show in coming days. "Many students have dedicated almost their entire [school] year to this," said Lauren Draaistra, a Grade 12 student and the head of sound for the production. "This year's show is really student-driven." In addition to the cast, there are many students like Draaistra who work more behind the scenes to bring the production to life. From costumes, to sound effects and setup, to set building, lighting, art, the stage crew and the pit band, there a number of students who are not acting in the show but have been working just as tirelessly in recent months to put on the best production possible "for their community." Many students started their work last fall. "I'm not sure people realize just how much time is put into this," said Draaistra. Estimates suggest more than 100 people are involved in this year's musical. And the hours dedicated by each person involved in the show are far from modest. By the Sunday rehearsal just prior to Aida's debut,

It's a flurry of activity as students prepare behind the stage during a recent dress rehearsal. Grade 12 student Georgie Tolmacs alone had dedicated more than 100 hours to the production. Like Draaistra, Tolmacs also works in the background but as a stage crew manager. "We've become a family, we've spent that much time working together," said Tolmacs. Tolmacs helps organize and prep the props and created two books, which include cues to assist the cast and crew. In Grade 10, she ffilmed Mary Poppins but was interested to learn more about what happens behind the curtains with the school's latest production. Tolmacs has been working in her role since the start of rehearsals, watching, making notes and
"tracking everything." Her experience has taught her there is a lot that goes on in the background and it takes a lot of people working closely together to make it happen, she said. Charlotte Coxhead and Sarah Grubb handle the costumes for the show, organize and do preparations ffor them and have spent weekends sizing people and doing alterations. During the production, they help with costume changes and "last minute fixes." Both enjoy sewing and the creative aspect to the

means she'll play background music, in-between scenes and set changes, and this is a first for her. Greenwood started rehearsing songs last year in October-November and then more recently transitioned to working with the cast and stage crew. "It's been really rewarding," said Greenwood. "To see everything come together now, it's nice to feel like you're a part of something big." Student performances in Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida continue on May 3, 4 and 5. Tickets are $15 and $10 ffor children 12 and under. Tickets are available at the ENSS main office, the Shoe Store, Rock, Paper, Scissors and at Bruinix Jewellers in Trenton.

In addition to her other responsibilities like sound efffects, she sets up equipment, the microphones and speakers for the band prior to rehearsals, which means she also stays after to clean up.

Could it happen here in Brighton?
Tragedy in Toronto has Brighton deputy mayor wondering if community is vulnerable JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Deputy Mayor Roger McMurray says organizers of major outdoor events in Brighton should think about taking special precautions this year in the wake of 10 people being killed in Toronto by a van mowing down pedestrians on Yonge Street. McMurray told Brighton Police Services Board last Friday that what happened on April 23, in which 16 people were also injured, led him to think about whether Brighton "had any vulnerabilities," such as during Applefest when Main Street is filled with people. If the street isn't blocked by vehicles or cement pylons during the event held in September, "it should be ... because there are nutbars ev-
erywhere," he said. A 25-year-old Richmond Hill man has been charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder and will face 16 counts of attempted murder as well. "I would certainly like to see this incident looked at inasmuch how it might be applicable to Brighton and the big events we have (when there are) hundreds of people on the street with no protection whatsoever that I'm aware of," McMurray said. "It's just food for thought, that's all it is," he said, adding it's best "to err on the side of caution." "I'm not suggesting we build barriers or anything like that," McMurray continued, but to let "the appropriate enforcement authorities" know that "we're thinking" about what could happen.
He made clear after the meeting he was not meaning to sound "alarmist" when he expressed his concern but had only raised the matter for event organizers to consider when making their plans. Mayor Mark Walas said the van attack was one of a kind that has been taking place around the world. "They are unpredictable, untimely and extremely unfortunate," he said, and "will continue to happen any and everywhere." He pointed out the OPP, the local fire department and Northumberland County's EMS are always involved in planning for Applefest, including parking and access routes. "With the number of people we're having attend the event and the work that is currently being done by our protective services, they are being very proactive," and are quite capable of managing the event "as they have in the past," Walas said.

deaths occur around the world "in a random fashion." "It is a reality," he said, but talk of it shouldn't "dampen the spirit of Applefest" and give it "a negative implication" that
would "deter people from coming because something may happen." "Something may happen anywhere," including the Canadian National Exhibition, Wonderland and Oktoberfest, Walas said.

OPINION
• EDITORIAL •
Let the games begin Elections are always an exciting time for our industry but for a community newspaper such as the Independent, municipal elections are the bread and butter. Municipal government is closest to the people and can have the biggest impact on how communities are shaped. Regardless of how we or the public judge councils' performances over the past three-plus years, we anticipate a full slate of candidates throwing their hats into the ring this spring. This week, candidates can start filing their nomination papers for seats on local school boards and municipal councils. Those interested can file for nomination between May 1 and July 27, which has been shortened by 120 days from the 2014 election guidelines. According to information released last month under the Municipal Elections Act, changes have been made in order to increase transparency in the local election process. In addition to the campaign period, these new rules require candidates to open up a bank account before incurring any expenses or accepting financial donations. As well, the limit for contributions has been extended to $1,200 (from $750) and contributions from corporations and trade unions are not permitted. Finally, there will also be a limit to contributions a candidate and their spouse can make to their own campaign. Candidates should also be aware that contributions and expenses can only be accepted or incurred during the campaign period. A guide outlining all of these rules for candidates will be released this month and is available at www.ontario.ca/municipalelections. Another valuable resource are municipal clerks. We applaud all of those who consider putting their names forward in this October's election. Running for a position on a local school board or council is not for the faint of heart and requires a lot of time and dedication to the community. There are countless meeting responsibilities and public appearance expectations, and it's also important to remember that councils are elected by and represent the interests of the community. And thank you to all of our local politicians who currently sit on municipal councils across our region.

A healthy community benefits from competition for office Take stock of fitness for duty when weighing bid for council seat, John Campbell writes Having been upbraided for my previous column, a "blatantly biased, uninformed, illogical piece of writing," I will strive to do better this time out by being less blatant. Our subject this week is the municipal election that will take place Oct. 22. Although some months away it's of relevance now because anyone thinking of running as a candidate could file a nomination beginning May 1.
JOHN CAMPBELL Column If you have already done so, best of luck. Obviously you have given the matter great thought and saw no need to delay putting your name forward. But if you haven't made up your mind, preferring to deliberate a little longer, such caution will also serve you well should you run and be elected. You have until July 27 to

declare your intent. In deciding whether to toss one's hat in the ring or leave it hanging on the hook, the chief consideration should be one's fitness for duty. We need only look south to see what disasters await an electorate when a person voted into office is woefully unequal to the task. In any self-assessment, don't hold back in setting out your strengths and weaknesses, and be clear about your motives for running and the vision you have for the community you wish to serve. Requisite traits include an open-mindedness in resolving differences, a firm grasp of what's fair, and a commitment to being held accountable without taking offence.
Honesty, of course. A sense of humour, for sure. And a full realization of the demands that are placed on a representative of the people. If, after taking stock of yourself, you are convinced you have what it takes to be a council member, then delay no further entering the race. We can always use men and women like you to lead the way. A healthy democracy depends on qualified people competing to serve the greater good. If there is to be any acclamation, let it be earned by the end of a council's term and not awarded at the outset with a seat that's uncontested. – John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Cramahe Township Council's decision to close the bridge on Bailey Drive ffor reasons of safety is turning out to be a divisive one. Literally. As Rick Broere explained to council last week, his 1.6-hectare property lies on both sides of the bridge, and he uses it daily to get from his home to his business, which is the buying, selling and racing of homing pigeons. He crosses the bridge 10 times a day to care for his stock. Once it's closed, he will be forced to drive more than a kilometre to access his yard which is only 15 metres a away. "I hope to live 15 more
years down there and I really don't want to do that for 15 more years," he told council on April 17. His solution is to sever the property and convert a mill on the other side of the stream into a house, and sell the home where he and his wife Linda currently reside. Broere asked that the township cover the cost of the severance because it's council's decision that has created a problem. "I think you should do that for me," he said. Broere said he was opposed to the township placing concrete barriers at each end of the bridge to bar access. "Really, they're butt-ugly and we really don't want (them)," he said. People in the area use
Granular M Limestone 1'' Clear / Septic Stone 1'' Chocolate Limestone
the bridge as a walkway, to walk their dogs or to go jogging, he said. Broere asked that Cramahe use "landscape boulders" instead, as well as plant a couple of small trees "and let it go back to nature, (so) we can continue walking across the bridge." "I don't see an issue with that," Mayor Marc Coombs said, but as far as covering the cost of a severance, council will consider that when the application is made. "We understand your situation, we're closing your bridge (which) divides your property in two," he said. The bridge needs to be replaced because of significant deterioration but the cost, $495,000, is more than council is prepared to spend.

Home and garden show makes its debut JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com COLBORNE - After being known as the Cramahe Horticultural Society for decades, the nonprofit group changed its name in January to the Apple Country Garden Club. Why? Because the old name had taken on a negative connotation. "It scares people, they think they have to have a degree," president Sharron MacDonald explained. "And people don't, they just want to garden and that's what we are, we're a garden club." And has been since 1906. So the society chose to go with "something that would better bring people in." "More user-friendly," vicepresident Jim Detenbeck added. It was a new brand the club was trying to promote at a new event, the first-ever BrightonCramahe Home and Garden Trade Show held April 22 at the Keeler Centre. It was also an opportunity for them to sell plants and engage young people in crafts. Apple Country has close to 60 members and they do "all kinds of things," including looking after Colborne's hanging baskets, ecology garden and decorative chair program and a garden in Castleton. It also holds workshops and fflower shows and brings in knowledgeable guest speakers ffor its monthly meetings. The club also offers a program ffor children at the Colborne library.
"Every couple of months we're doing projects," MacDonald said. "We're trying to get the kids interested in gardening." "It's aimed at all ages," Detenbeck said. "It's pretty popular." MacDonald said people should consider joining the club because "it's fun, it's good exercise, it's always great to work in the dirt. And they're going to learn." Membership is $20 for an individual, $30 for a family. To learn more visit www.cramahehort.ca. Close to 50 vendors took part in the inaugural trade show. Tim Williams, general manager of Fidelity Homes, was there promoting Fidelity Landscapes, which has its supply yard on Purdy Road. "We're excited to be part of the home show because it hits all facets of our business," he said, which includes a housing development that the company hopes to get started later this year. Emilio Ojeda, chef and innovation co-ordinator at the Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre, said the trade show was a great opportunity "for people to understand what we are and what we do, and how we help the community (and) individuals to get their product on the market." OAFVC recently received a O $15,000 donation from Farm Credit Canada in appreciation of the work it does to support agriculture and agri-food entrepreneurs by helping them develop, test and enhance their products. The money will be used to purchase equipment that will make it possible to fill several containers
at once with salad dressings, hot sauces, vinegars, oils and other liquid-based products. "It's a more efficient process,"

OMB hearing on condos, interim control bylaw starts May 7 SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com Brighton - A weeklong hearing regarding the Proctor Park Condominiums development will start Monday, May 7. On Wednesday, April 25, Stephen Ashton, manager of planning, building and community development for the municipality, confirmed the hearing would be going ahead. It's anticipated to last the "whole week," he said. Back in December 2017, council received notice from Aird and Berlis LLP, acting on behalf of the numbered company and applicant for the proposed development, that council's decision to dismiss the Young Street condo project had been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Following this notice and F at the February planning meeting this year, council
once again received notice ffrom Aird and Berlis. At this time, council learned another of its decisions had been appealed to the OMB, this time with respect to the passing of Brighton's interim control bylaw. It was unknown at the time whether the OMB would consider the two as related items and combine the two, or whether there would be separate hearings. Ashton has since confirmed the two appeals have been combined. The hearing is set to start at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, May 7 and will take place in the training room at the Codrington fire hall. The Environment and Land Tribunals Ontario website states people should appear at the start time of the proceedings. Council previously considered the condo application in November 2017 and in a 3-1 vote did not grant approvals for the proposed de-
velopment to move ahead. Mayor Mark Walas, as a principal and shareholder of the numbered company proposing the development, Deputy Mayor Roger McMurray and Coun. Steven Baker, did not cast votes in the decision. McMurray chose to declare a conflict due to the proximity of relatives in the area of the proposed development and Baker, because of the proximity of his home. As for the Lakeside Landing subdivision appeal originally slated for March 19, this hearing remains tentatively scheduled for July or August. This will be a one-day hearing and involves the same numbered company. As previously reported, this appeal was filed following council's endorsement of staff's recommendation to require the use of a conventional gravity sewer system ffor the development.

Myths About Mental Illness
Mental illnesses affect everyone yone in some way. We all likely kno know w someone who has experienced a mental illness at some point. Yet Yet there are still many hurtful attitudes around mental illnesses that fuel stigma and man discrimination discrimina tion and make it harder to reach out for help. It’s time to look at the facts. Here are ten common myths about mental illnesses.
Myth #1: Mental illnesses aren’t real illnesses.
Fact: The words we use to describe mental illnesses have changed greatly over time. Wha What hasn’t changed is the fact tha thatt mental illnesses are not the regular ups and downs wns of life. Mental illnesses create te distress, don’t go
away way on their own, and are real health problems with effective trea treatments. tments. When someone breaks their arm, we wouldn’t expect them to just “get over it.” Nor would we blame them if they needed a cast, sling, or other help in their daily life while they recovered.
Myth #2: Mental illnesses will never affect me.
Fact: All of us will be affected by mental illnesses. Researchers estima estimate thatt as man tha manyy as one in five Canadians will experience a mental health problem or illness in an anyy given year. You Y may not experience a mental illness yourself, but it’ it’ss ver very likely tha thatt a family member member, friend, or co-worker will experience challenges.
Myth #3: Mental illnesses are just an excuse for poor behaviour.
Fact: It’s true that some people who experience mental illnesses may act in ways tha that are unexpected or seem strange to others. Wee need to remember tha thatt the illness, not the person, is behind these beha behaviours. viours. No one chooses to experience a mental illness. People who experience a change in their behaviour viour due to a mental illness may feel extremely embarrassed or ashamed around others. It’ It’ss also true tha thatt people with a historyy of a mental illness are like an anyone yone else: they may make poor choices or do something unexpected for reasons unrela unrelated ted to symptoms of their illness.
It’s time to erase the difference between physical and mental health!
Myth #4: Bad parenting causes mental illnesses.
Fact: No one factor can cause mental illnesses. Mental illnesses are complica complicated conditions tha thatt arise from a combination of genetics, biolog combina biology, environment, and life experiences. Family amily members and loved ones do ha have ve a big role in support and recover recovery.

Myth #5: People with mental illnesses are violent and dangerous.
Lou Rinaldi MPP Northumberland – Quinte West 1-800-263-3980 7-513 Division St. Cobourg, ON
Fact: act: Some people trtryy to predict violence so they know w what to avoid. wha void. Ho However wever, the causes of violence are complicated. complica ted. Researchers agree tha thatt mental illnesses are not a good predictor of violence. In fact, if we look at mental illnesses on their own, people who experience a mental illness are no more violent than people without a mental illness. Exc Excluding people from communities is linked to violence, and people with mental illnesses are often among those who are excluded. luded. It’ It’ss also important to note tha that people who experience mental illnesses are much more likely to be victims of violence than to be violent.
Myth #6: People don’t recover from mental illnesses.
Fact: act: People can and do recover from mental illnesses. TToday oday, there are manyy different kinds of trea treatments, tments, services, ser vices, and supports tha that can help. No one should expect to feel unwell forever forever. The fact is, people who experience mental illnesses can and do lead productive, engaged lives. They work, volunteer enga volunteer, or contribute their unique skills and abilities to their communities. Even
when people experience mental illnesses that last for a long time, they can learn ho how w to manage their symptoms so they can get back to their goals. If someone continues to experience man many challenges, it may be a sign that different approaches pproaches or supports are needed.
Myth #7: People who experience mental illnesses are weak, and can’t handle stress.
Fact: Stress impacts well-being, but this is true for everyone. People ever eople who experience mental illnesses may actually be better at mana managing stress than people who haven’t ha ven’t experienced mental illnesses. Man Manyy people who experience mental illnesses learn skills like stress management mana gement and problem-solving so they can take care of stress before it affects their well-being. TTaking aking care of yourself and asking for help when you need it are signs of strength, not weakness.
There is no health without mental health
Kim Rudd, MP
Myth #8: People who experience mental illnesses can’t work.
Fact: Whether you realize it or not, workplaces are filled with people who ha have ve experienced mental illnesses. Mental illnesses don’t mean tha thatt someone is no longer capable of working. Some people benefit from changes ca at work to support their goals, but many people work with few supports from their emplo employer yer. Most people who experience serious mental illnesses want to work but face systemic barriers to finding and keeping meaningful employment. emplo yment.
Myth #9: Kids can’t have a mental illness like depression. Those are adult problems
Fact: Even children can experience mental illnesses. In fact, man manyy mental illnesses first appear when a person is young. Mental illnesses may look different in children than in adults, but they are a real concern. Mental illnesses can impact the way young people learn and build skills, which can lead to challenges in the future. Unfortuna Unfortunately, man many children don’t receive the help they need.

Myth #10: Everyone gets depressed as they grow older. It’s just part of the aging process.
Fact: act: Depression is never an inevitable part of aging. ging. Older adults may ha have a grea greater risk of depression because they experience so man manyy changes in roles and social networks. If an older adult experiences depression, they need the same support as an anyone yone else. These myths—and man manyy more—exc more—exclude lude people with mental illnesses from our communities and crea create te barriers to well-being. If we want to reduce the impact of mental illnesses on our communities, we need to learn the facts and start with our own wn assumptions and beha behaviours. viours.
What can I do about it?
Changing attitudes ttitudes and behaviours takes time, and it might seem like one
person can’t possibly make a difference. Actually Actually, we can all find small ways to help. First, we can all think about where our informa information tion comes from. News stories, TV sho shows, ws, movies, and other media don’t necessarily give you the whole story. These stories are usually sensational tional or shocking because that’s what sells—but they don’t necessarily represent most people’s tha experiences. Thinking critically about where our informa information tion comes from can help us separa separate sensa sensational tional stories from balanced points of view view. Second, we can all support la laws ws and practices in our communities tha that stop discrimination against gainst people with mental illnesses and promote inclusion. inc lusion. Third, we can all spend time with people who experience mental illnesses to share and learn from each other other. This is best when everyone yone is in an equal position of power wer. Volunteering olunteering with a community organiza organization tion is a great way to connect with others. grea

Special fundraiser May 24 will shine light on stained glass windows, Vic Schukov writes VIC SCHUKOV
Eileen Paulsen shown here at home. from my mother's original cottage bedroom. I asked Lynn Vanderherberg to decorate it and say, Life Begins at the Lake. It nestles inside six generations of family pictures." In 2015, Eileen retired to her childhood paradise. As a parishioner of Brighton's Holy Angels Church, she admired its 13 stained glass windows: "I loved the windows so much I wanted to know what the symbols meant, so I looked up the artist." Guido Nincheri was born in 1885 near Florence, Italy. He immigrated to Montreal in 1915, producing over 2,000 stained glass windows and frescoes for more than 100 churches in Canada and the United States. Pope Pius XI dubbed him the church's greatest artist of religious themes. "I have letters dated 1947 and 1948, handwritten by the parish priest, thanking the parishioners who donated money to pay for the windows, including my grandparents, who dedicated one to the memory of my great-grandparents. Reading the artist's website, I noticed there was no mention of Holy Angels, so I corresponded with his grandson Roger in 2016." In fact, the priest who ordered the windows was
Vic Schukov/Metroland
based in Wooler. So, the windows were listed under the wrong church. "I wanted this corrected, and Roger said if I sent pictures, he would write insights on each window. After I gave Father Reynolds a copy of Roger's texts, I had an idea. Aware we needed some structural repairs on the church, I thought of a way to raise funds with an event at Holy Angels Church on May 24 at 7 p.m." She researched a 1940s Catholic hymn book, and Rev. Reynolds chose the starting hymn, entitled Dear Angel Ever at My Side. The Catholic Women's League will provide readers to describe each window, name the people who donated and in whose memory. There will also be a musical interlude and a prayer for each family. Afterward, people will receive a booklet on the windows, written by the artist's grandson. The event will cost $20 per family.

Toronto-born Eileen Paulsen worked as an interior designer, taught high school French, completed a master's degree in Spanish at the University of Toronto and eventually became an program consultant for English as a second language (ESL) at the Toronto Catholic District School Board. "I came regularly to my great-grandparents' cottage in Presqu'ile Park. It has been in the family since 1929, purchased for $1,000 with no indoor plumbing. They were allowed to use the outdoor loo across the road, until they built one, which later became a tool shed." "From childhood, I remember attending the pavilion dance hall's children's hour, where I learned a lot of dances, but the Hokey Pokey is the one that sticks. When I got older, I went to dances there with my fiancé." In 2014, the old cottage was replaced by an all-season home. "I was looking after Mom, and she left me the cottage. I asked if it was OK to build over the spot because renovating was exorbitant. She gave me permission and was able to spend two summers here before passing away. She loved it, and I feel as if I have come home. My grandchildren are the sixth generation in the park." Eileen arranged a keepsake, an art piece that now hangs in her living room.

Cleaning up after litterbugs an annual exercise in Northumberland JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Cramahe Township Some litterbugs refuse to change when it comes to refuse. They leave it to others to clean up the trash they toss out along roads. Fortunately, there are hundreds of volunteers who accept the Mayors' Keep the County Clean Challenge each year in Northumberland County. Staff, residents and businesses have "achieved tremendous success" taking part in the challenge, said county director of transportation, waste and facilities Mobushar Pannu. "Since it was first launched in 2009, more than 18,200 volunteers have collected the equivalent of over 30,100 bags of garbage from our recreation areas and roadsides," he said in a news release. "The impact has

been substantial." Warkworth Guiding has played a large role in gathering up litter. Its members once again took to the road last Sunday, starting at 8:30 a.m. and finishing up around 1 p.m. They completed their traditional route "in record time," said Brownie leader Tracy Russell, who organizes the cleanup on behalf of
Warkworth Guiding every year. Fifteen families totalling 42 people covered 21.7 kilometres, from Morganston into Castleton down to Highway 401, as well as a short stretch in Lakeport. The volunteers, who walked anywhere from one to five kilometres, filled five pickups with bags of garbage.
"It just amazes you how much people throw out," Russell said. "It's unfortunate because most of the garbage is recyclable material ... When you're out there it just seems ridiculous." The haul again included beer cans and liquor bottles that can be returned for refunds but their number seemed to be down from what it used to be, Russell said. Warkworth Guiding is paid $40 per kilometre by the county "to get the roads cleaned," and the money earned is used to lower camp, uniform and registration costs of the participants, she said. The cleanup had been scheduled for the previous weekend but bad weather delayed it until Sunday, "which was perfect," with April 22 being Earth Day, Russell said. "It was a beautiful day to be out."

CCN's Hospice Hike event returns Sunday SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com
Brighton - Community Care Northumberland is once again asking Brightonians to lend a hand with its Hospice Services program. "We care for and follow people wherever they go, even if someone is sent to hospital," said Cheryl McFarlane, CCN's regional hospice co-ordinator. "It's about continuity for us wherever home is [at the time] that's where we go." In May, CCN will host its eighth annual Hospice Hike event at Memorial Park. The event is a major fundraiser for the hospice program and CCN is hopeful residents will show their support and help families and individuals in need of palliative and end-of-life care. CCN relies on donations and volunteers to maintain its "visiting hospice" program. This year's goal is to raise $10,000 to ensure services continue. People may want to participate in this event in honour of a "neighbour, friend or loved one," said McFarlane. Sometimes, teams come for a classmate, she added. Residents may recall the weather hasn't been all that kind to CCN in recent years. Extreme rainfall and flooding concerns cancelled last year's event and the year before Proctor Park was too "treacherous" for the five-kilometre hike. McFarlane has her fingers crossed Mother Nature will be in a more benevolent mood this year. "This event for us is as much about raising awareness as it is about fundraising," said the coordinator. The hospice program offers care to residents with a life-limiting illness and their families. These supports are offered countywide and at no cost. Hospice services aim to improve quality of life for residents and their loved ones, from the time of diagnosis, to right up until the last moment of a person's life and even beyond that ffor families as they deal with the loss of a loved one. "Our trained volunteers fo-

cus on dignity and individual needs as they provide compassionate care and support to clients and their families," said Trish Baird, CCN's executive director. As people's needs change, volunteers travel with residents and care for people in ffamily homes, hospitals, residential hospices and retirement and long-term care homes. McFarlane is looking forward to the community coming together in May. Seeing everyone in the park, it means a lot, she said. Often, the people attending all have a story to share and that connecting piece is another nice component to the event, she said. The event on Sunday, May 6 runs from 10 a.m. to noon and there is a one-kilometre stroll or five-kilometre hike. The opening ceremony is set for 10:30 a.m. The Rotary Club of Brighton is once again hosting a barbecue with all proceeds donated to CCN and the YMCA will help get the crowd warmed up before the walk. New this year, Brighton cadets are volunteering to help with setup, will guide and marshal the hike and walk routes and are also helping raise awareness for the event. a "It's always cool to see youth have a presence at this event," said McFarlane. "They're fantastic little ambassadors ." CCN is thankful to the many Brighton groups and volunteers making this event possible, McFarlane added. To register as a participant or to make a pledge, residents can visit a CCN office or www.commcare.ca.
This study will include reviewing existing conditions, developing and evaluating alternatives, identifying appropriate improvements, and developing environmental protection/mitigation measures.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Members of Lone Pine Land Trust went for their first formal hike last Saturday on the organization's latest acquisition, a 27.5-hectare tract that extends from Old Wooler Road to Cold Creek. The land was donated by Bill and Judy Mills, but because it had been in Judy's family it is known by her maiden name as the McColl tract. Lone Pine, a registered charitable organization, took possession of the property earlier this year.
"Our mission is to manage and take care of biologically significant properties along Cold Creek." – Doug McRae, President
President Doug McRae, a naturalist, said the land "is a real mix of habitats" that includes a managed forest (a red pine plantation), a natural forest and open meadows. "We're quite interested to see what's here actually because we don't really know this property that
well yet," he said. The planned walk over hilly ground covered about three kilometres. The previous owners made use of a managed forest tax incentive program. Now the trust will be responsible for managing it, McRae said. "Our goal is to convert it
over into natural native forests. The red pine is native but it doesn't grow in plantations." The transition will take about 50 years to complete, he said. Lone Pine now has five properties totalling about 179 hectares. Its smallest property is 20 hectares and the largest one almost 53. The land trust currently has about 60 memberships,
including families and couples. "We're not a particularly large organization but we're fairly active," McRae said. "It's a small but truly dedicated group of people. "Our mission is to manage and take care of biologically significant properties along Cold Creek." Designated members act as stewards, regularly checking the properties for
signs of trespassing or "anything that's of concern." Lone Pine spent about $10,000 to do a survey and to put in a parking lot as a condition of the severance it obtained to separate the tract from a 4.5-hectare parcel on which a house is located.

Brighton - A Brighton couple has volunteered to go to Nepal in November to help build a home for a single mother and her two children. The international service trip organized by Developing World Connections (DWC) is being led by Warkworth resident David Lyon, who put out a call recently for volunteers to join him. Jessica Wheeler and Darby Flindall decided to take up his offer after reading about his plans in the Brighton Independent. "The story called to me," Wheeler said. "The mother is close in age to us" - all three are in their mid-30s - "and (she) has two small children like us." "I've always wanted to do something like this but nothing has grabbed my heart really this much," she said. "It just ffelt right." Flindall is a licensed
carpenter and Wheeler is his apprentice so their skill set and experience will be an asset. However, what they will be called upon to finish, a block house with a tin roof just 15 by 25 feet, will be different from what they're used to building, Lyon cautioned. "It will be interesting," he said with a smile, noting they will be using tools that won't match theirs. "That excites me," Flindall said, looking forward to the challenge. "I love to do wants (in his line of work) but it's nice to have something (that's) a full-on need. That doesn't happen here that often." DWC says Nepal "is among the poorest and least developed countries in the world, with onethird of its population living below the poverty line." Being in those condi-
tions in a foreign country will put the couple well outside their comfort zone, Wheeler admitted, as they "haven't done much travelling," having been to Mexico once. So there was "a fear of the unknown" initially, and being away from their two sons for two weeks to consider. But the more they discussed it, "we thought why can't we do this, we just need to try," Wheeler said. Lyon said he's been on a number of humanitarian trips and Wheeler and Flindall "didn't really fit the profile" of volunteers, being young, with a small business and young children. After he explained what the trip will involve, he didn't think they'd sign on but he was "so happy" when they did. "It's that old thing, just never judge a book by its cover," Lyon said. However, for them to
