Green party candidate Jeff Wheeldon, left, New Democratic Party candidate Jana Papuckoski, Liberal candidate Lou Rinaldi, Trillium party candidate Derek Sharp, and Progressive Conservative candidate David Piccini discuss Hydro One and other issues at an all-candidates meeting held in Campbellford on May 15.
Northumberland-Peterborough South candidates critical of Hydro One JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Campbellford - The five people running in Northumberland-Peterborough South were united in being critical of Hydro One at an all-candidates meeting held on
Tuesday night. The former Crown utility made headlines earlier in the day after its part-time directors voted to give themselves a $25,000 raise to $185,000 a year, as well as hike the chair's salary by $70,000 to $330,000. Liberal candidate Lou Rinaldi,
whose government sold off more than half of Hydro One for $9 billion, said he didn't support what the board had done and vowed "sparks (will) fly" should he be reelected. Liberal Leader Kathleen Wynne said her party is not happy
with the board's action and that a review of the compensation package has already begun. The meeting, held at Campbellford District High School and hosted by Trent Hills Chamber of

Commerce, drew about 130 people. Rinaldi said the utility "was in a mess" when the Liberals decided to carry out much-needed capital improvements to its infrastructure. He said brownouts were costing one industry in the riding "a million dollars every time that happened." Now, unless bad weather is the cause, they no longer occur nor do blackouts, because the province spent $50 billion "to rebuild Hydro One," he said. Progressive Conservative David Piccini said Hydro One is "a mess right now. We're paying through the nose (in rates)." "The motives behind the fire sale of Hydro One were a last-ditch effort to commit to a promise (to balance the budget)," he said.

What the Liberals have shown in their handling of Hydro One "is not leadership," Piccini said. "Real leadership is demanding results and accountability." PC leader Doug Ford has vowed to fire the board as well as turf Hydro One's chief executive who earns $6.2 million a year. "That's what happens when you privatize," NDP candidate Jana Papuckoski said. "They're free to pay
themselves as they wish." She said her party would "repurchase and take control of Hydro One," using the dividends the province earns from the 47 per cent of the shares it owns. "Rather than giving it to our friends (and) padding their wallets, the dividends would be reinvested in Hydro One ... so we can own more and pay less for hydro." Trillium Party candidate
Derek Sharp dismissed NDP and PC promises to regain control of Hydro One, saying each party, on different occasions, voted against stopping the sell-off. "The Trillium Party believes we need to restore the at-cost model that served us for almost a century because a monopoly in private hands does not work for the consumer," he said. "It never has and never will." Green party candidate
Jeff Wheeldon said "a public utility is better than a private utility but ... community power is better than public power," and that's where his party wants people to put their dollars. He cited Community Power Northumberland, a not-for-profit co-operative involved in solar energy projects across the county. "The more diverse our methods of generating power the more resilient (the
grid) will be," Wheeldon said. With community ownership "you have a lot more say (about) what happens, the rates you pay, (and) you have incentives to increase renewable energy production." Nuclear reactors won't always be around, "they're aging very quickly, some are already decommissioned, and the cost of refurbishing them is astronomical," he said.

Good news on funding front for restoration of lighthouse at Presqu'ile Point
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society (PPLPS) has received a shot in the arm, with the province agreeing to pay $100,000 toward restoration of the 19th century tower - double its original commitment. "It's very significant," said Dave Sharp, the society's volunteer director and chief spokesperson. "They want the project done." The target date for its completion is the end of June. PPLPS suffered a major setback in January when it learned $64,000 of its funds had been misappropriated, launching an investigation by Northumberland OPP. The treasurer surrendered himself to the OPP detachment in Brighton and Sharp said in an email sent May 16 he had been informed by the investigating officer "that charges will be laid in the next couple of weeks." He said "dozens" of cheques had "allegedly (been) forged, starting mainly in late November (2017 and continuing) through early January." One cheque for $27,000 to a contractor was legitimate, but it wasn't mailed out "until after the bank account was depleted," Sharp wrote. "We, fortunately, had $25,000 sitting in a different bank account, thank goodness," he said in an in-

Each cheque had two signatures, including Sharp's, which he assured society members was not his in the email he sent out. It was "a major breach of trust." The individual under investigation had served as treasurer for PPLPS "since day one" four years ago, Sharp said. "We know we made some mistakes," he admitted, but the society, with a new treasurer in place, Anne Butwell, as well as a new director, former councillor Emily Rowley, has made changes to prevent it being victimized in future. "We believe 100 per cent in the program we have implemented ... that it should not happen (again)," he said. "We've got a much tighter financial policy and we're confident with all the sign-offs that are required now ...(They're) far more stringent. We have
removed the element of human trust." The society has spent $135,000 to date, and it recently committed an additional $40,000 for shingles to cover the lighthouse. With the contribution of $100,000 to the project from Ontario and $25,000 from the Municipality of Brighton (pending certain conditions being met), the society is responsible for coming up with the balance, roughly $60,000, needed for the project, Sharp said. PPLPS will hold its annual gala on June 23, at King Edward Park Arena, and it usually raises between $15,000 and $20,000, he said. "We're being optimistic (and) going for 25 (thousand) this year." Members, through fees and donations, and corporate sponsorships are reliable sources of revenue. Currently there are close to 260 members. "We're continuing to ask people for their support by purchasing tickets (to the gala) and showing up" for the live and silent auctions, Sharp said.
"If they want to donate any items that's good, too." King's Plate Catering will be serving a roast beef and chicken buffet dinner. Tickets have been reduced from $60 to $40 and can be purchased at he Shoe Store, Red Stone Clothing, Lighthouse Books, Lighthouse Wealth Management or the Bowling Centre. There is still the matter of reinstalling a cupola on top of the lighthouse, at a cost of between $60,000 and $65,000. That could take place by the end of the year, but it "depends on government approval," Sharp said. Coming up with money for that particular project shouldn't be a problem.
"We have one generous donor who's going to write me a big cheque for it," he said, and another one sit-
ting on the sidelines ready to help out "as soon as we get our charitable tax number."

Council pushes for sandbagging training, ready list of volunteers SARAH HYATT shyatt@northumberlandnews.com Brighton - In a 5-2 vote, council has directed staff to train volunteers on proper sandbagging filling and placing techniques. The motion moved by Coun. John Martinello and seconded by Coun. Steven Baker further directs staff to develop a "ready-to-call" list of these trained volunteers and that this training and list be completed no later than June 30, 2018. "All too often last year, we saw and heard from volunteers who were ready and willing to help their neighbours but they were looking for direction and didn't know what to do
or where to go," said Martinello. Martinello insists this is a "simple common sense approach." It's not a perfect solution, it doesn't guarantee perfect preparedness but it is one step forward in the right direction, he said. The motion is written suggesting these measures should be implemented in order to ensure an improved response in the event of flooding. The two against the motion were Mayor Mark Walas and Coun. Laura Vink. "I think our [fire] chief is quite capable of organizing things as needed," said Walas. Fire Chief Rick Caddick, who was in attendance when the motion
was put forward, did explain he supported compiling a type of registry, but not the training component. For Walas, he said council should rely on the professional opinion of the fire chief and Brighton, like several other communities across the province last year, learned many lessons. Because of last year, many people do know how to properly sandbag now, he said. He also noted how a similar program in Clarington, which has a population of more than 90,000, saw about 45 people participate. For others, it seemed they didn't believe there was no reason this readyto-call list and training
shouldn't happen here. Martinello looks at the situation in Clarington and says 45 people signing up for training is a "good thing." Those 45 people
may mean the difference when protecting someone's home, he said. He echoed Sarah Delicate's comments and how she reiterated communi-
ties must be prepared for flooding. Delicate had spoken to council prior to this motion while representing the advocacy group United Shoreline Ontario.

them to get involved in their community, he said. But don't come with "personal agendas," Walas added. The goal is to "work together to better benefit the ratepayers and residents of Brighton. A lot of that will come from utilizing the plans we currently have in place." Walas said "personal attacks around the council table (are) not appropriate" but a "majority of council permits that type of behaviour to happen, (which is) really unfortunate." He expressed hope the community will "make a statement" by electing a council where "that type of behaviour is no longer acceptable." "One of the bigger issues," for a new council will be to show "greater respect and appreciation" for staff and to work with them to "rebuild the organization," Walas said. The current council often behaves "like a dog at a fair," going this way and that, while providing staff "no consistent direction," he said. It leaves them "very concerned and stressed."

Ostrander making 2nd run at becoming mayor JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - It's a rematch of 2010, Brian Ostrander versus Mark Walas for top spot on council, but Ostrander won't be looking for history to repeat itself in the outcome, which saw Walas elected mayor. Ostrander, who was returned to office as a councillor four years ago, formally declared he will make another run at becoming mayor with the filing of his nomination papers. He has "a keen interest in leadership of the community ... (and) making sure Brighton runs better," he said. "There has been a lot of backward momentum ... the last few years." He said council's poor dynamic has remained the same for Walas's two terms, even though "the players around the table changed dramatically" in 2014 when four members were turfed. "The divisive issue is the fact that our mayor is a developer, and there needs to be a change there," he said. "You can't have two masters. Unfortunately our mayor does ... his business and the municipality. And the municipality is the regulator of his business. That's caused all sorts of problems, not just for him, in my opinion, but for other developers in the community." Walas declares a conflict of business and recuses himself whenever a matter involving his development company comes before council. "There's nothing illegal ... (or) untoward about what he's doing," Ostrander said. It's when council is considering proposals by rival developers that "it poses complications for the municipality.
HEAVEN’S GATES & FENCING SOLUTIONS
"Because of who the mayor is I believe council has doubled down on its scrutiny with regard to development in general in the community, and that has to complicate things for other developers." Ostrander, who previously served as councillor from 2003 to 2010, said he has had "all sorts of issues" with the mayor, including his communication and "general leadership. "We just can't seem to get out of the muck and mire," Ostrander said. "It's not 1978 anymore and l See OSTRANDER, page 9

Brighton - Mayor Mark Walas won't file his nomination papers until after the provincial election but he"s "definitely running" again. He's facing competition from Coun. Brian Ostrander, who will oppose him for the second time in eight years. "I firmly believe that Brighton doesn't need a new mayor, what Brighton needs is a new council," said Walas, who's often the target of criticism by some of his colleagues. "It's no secret it's been extremely combative," he said. "There (has) been a number of continuing and unending series of personal attacks which is very unfortunate." "I totally believe there has been a concerted effort to create this image where I'm doing things incorrectly or inappropriately, that I'm influencing staff, all those sorts of things, which are absolutely untrue." Most of it stems from his being a developer. But Walas said he is scrupulous about recusing himself whenever issues involving his developments come before council. He leaves it to his engineers, planners and lawyers to act on his behalf. The Municipal Act has strict rules concerning conflicts of interest and "I make a very diligent effort to follow those rules to the tee," Walas said. "Nowhere does it say because you go into municipal politics that you need to give up your ... business interests." Despite the flak, Walas, who's 57, loves what he's doing and wants to remain on the job. "Notwithstanding some of the challenges that we've gone through, I find that it can be a very rewarding experience," Walas said. There have been gains and "some progress made" in the community in the current term, "and I look forward to doing that again with the support of the community in the next term." "We've got lots of work left to do," he said. "We need to get back to basics" and "do some better visioning." He's encouraging residents to run for office. It's "a great opportunity" for

OPINION
• EDITORIAL •
Hold parties to their future broken promises It's one thing to see a car commercial give us all the glitz and glamour with none of the hard numbers. The company is softening us up, luring us in with speed and flashy colours. Don't think about the ticket price, payment plan, your pocketbook. It's about the dream, not the reality. That's fine until we walk into the dealership. They have to tell us the price then. Why would anyone sign on the dotted line without knowing it? No, we would demand to know the full cost. Yet many appear willing to walk into the voting booth and sign on without knowing the cost of the next government. At one point in the not-too-distant past, parties put out fully-costed platforms. Last November, former PC leader Patrick Brown unveiled his 78-page 2018 election platform, calling it The People's Guarantee. It included guarantees to cut income tax rates for middle- and low-income earners. Hydro bills would be slashed by 12 per cent. There was something for child care, mental health, an accountability act: you get the picture. The party's new leader, Doug Ford, promised a "solid platform that is fully costed," but had yet to release one nearing the midway point of the June 7 election campaign. It seems the plan now is to make a scattering of announcements, each including a price tag. The Liberal Party back in 2003 bragged about their fully costed platform, saying it was verified by a forensic accountant and two bank economists. Of course, once elected, Premier Dalton McGuinty more than doubled the promised deficit spending and raised taxes (in the form of the Ontario Health Premium.) The Liberals have had a platform ever since. It is the government's budget released prior to every election. They are piling onto it with - among other promises - a pledge to ban auto insurance rates based on driver postal codes; an idea they voted against at Queen's Park. So it seems the choice is between a platform that, based on past actions, would be abandoned once the party wins power; or no platform at all, meaning no promises to break, by a party that wants you to vote in ignorance. The difference between a broken promise and no promise? At least we can hold them to a broken promise. The Ontario NDP has offered platforms, including in 2018, and has not broken a promise in decades, if ever. That may have to do with holding precious little time in power, who knows? We could dream a little too. Maybe that car will go as fast and shine as brightly as in the commercials. Maybe cost doesn't matter. Ready to sign? Not until we've seen the broken promise first.

With the rising price of local housing and a lack of available rental stock, affordable housing options are an issue of concern across the local housing continuum. Northumberland County is looking to generate solutions to this challenge with the creation of an Affordable Housing Strategy. Due to be completed in January 2019, this strategy will equip the County and member municipalities with specific tools and incentives to encourage the development of additional rental units for the community, across varying levels of affordability. The County will be seeking feedback from the public about the current state of housing in the community and any suggestions for improvements. This survey will be available at www.NorthumberlandCounty.ca/ HousingServices from May 22 to June 18.

Vote Lou Rinaldi
I’m Lou Rinaldi. I’ve been your MPP for 12 of the last 15 years. When you’re making your decision on which candidate to vote for, I’d like you to consider my 30 years of public service. I have served the residents of this riding for years as a municipal and county councillor and mayor prior to becoming your MPP. I helped found the Brighton Chamber of Commerce and the Quinte Economic Development Agency, to name a few. I created the largest economic development fund in Eastern Ontario history, which has led to nearly 20,000 jobs saved and created. I’ve never stopped bringing your tax dollars to virtually every corner of Northumberland. I’m plain spoken. I tell the truth. I hope my record of supporting this riding matters to you. I will certainly put my record of public service up against the other candidates’ at any time, including long before I was ever elected MPP, and I hope you will do the same comparisons. It’s my name on the ballot. You’re voting for me and my record in Northumberland. I’m proud of that record, and of what we’ve accomplished together. I’m asking you again to place your faith and trust in my abilities to serve you; to place your support in my record of expertise as your MPP. It has been my honour to be there for you and your family when you needed me.
I hope I can count on your support Lou Rinaldi

we need to govern like it's 2018." Climate change is "concerning" and "we know that flood issues are going to happen more and more." Brighton has a flood mitigation infrastructure plan but "nothing's been done about it." The municipality "could have had" break walls, piers and "all sorts of things" in place that would have helped protect residents in Gosport last year when there was heavy flooding but they were contained in "a waterfront development master plan that got shelved because it wasn't very popular." The measures it proposes should be implemented because "we need to protect people and not make excuses anymore," Ostrander said. As mayor "I would advocate to council to do that ... and make sure they get moved forward." Ostrander, 47, has worked at a printing and publishing company in Oshawa since 1992 and is currently its sales and business development manager.

Little Lake hopes to make a big splash with festivalgoers at Colborne "It's a nice salute to the town (of Brighton) and small towns (everywhere)."
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Sure, the Little River Band has enjoyed international success, having sold more than 30 million records since the mid-1970s, but it's never done what this area's Little Lake band is about to do: perform at Apple Blossom Tyme Festival in Colborne. It's also highly likely the Australian group has never written a song about apples. Dennis Budgell did, last July, and it's "had a good response" whenever he and his Little Lake band mates - brothers Shane and Colter Chapman and Rich Goldsworthy - include it in their shows. Apples is about community, Brighton in particular, but the song "translates" to other communities, including Colborne, where Little Lake will perform at the Keeler Centre on Saturday night, May 26. "It's a nice salute to the town (of Brighton) and small towns (everywhere)," Budgell said. Similarly, while it "captures the feel of Applefest ... it could be any town celebration," he added. As he says in his song, it's a time "to see your friends or make some new ones." Little Lake has played dozens of times at bars and weddings since being formed two years ago. Budgell, a Grade 5/6 teacher at Brighton Public School, said "it can be challenging" balancing family, work and music.

Dennis Budgell, second from the left, says his song Apples gets a good response whenever he and fellow band members, left to right, Rich Goldsworthy, Shane Chapman and Colter Chapman - perform it in shows. "We've had to turn down a lot of shows ... between families and our careers," said Budgell, who's 45. The band performs "mostly covers" of popular songs that stretch from the present back to the '60s, but "with our own kind of twists," he said. "Our goal is mainly to get people on the dance floor and keep them there." The music is predominantly rock "with a little bit of country mixed in." Budgell has played the guitar and written songs since he was 12. However there was a time
when the Scarborough native didn't "really do anything with music" until he moved to Singapore in 2000 to teach at the Canadian International School. During his four years there, he joined a group of musicians who "morphed into a band called the Spacewagons," he said. It was a period that "also sparked a lot of creativity for me." Budgell wrote songs every year he was there and recorded a CD. He released another in 2007 after he had returned to Canada and began teaching in Brighton. Apples is available on iTunes, Google Play, Apple Music and Spotify.

Long-time resident works hard to preserve local heritage, columnist writes Anna Rittwage was born in Ivanhoe. In 1964, at 16, she moved to Brighton with her parents because they had family here going back generations. "I was married at 18," said Rittwage. "My husband Roy was in the navy, and I took the train back and forth from Brighton to Halifax when he was in harbour. In those days, you might see a month or so when you were in your own home port." She soon became a stayat-home mom raising a family of four kids. Roy was a town councillor for years, and president of SOHO (Save Our Heritage Organization) from 1998 to 2006. The Barn Theatre was completed in 2002 during his tenure. "I was on the barn fundraising committee," said Anna Rittwage. "Fast as the money came in, it was gone. Surprisingly, raising funds was not a difficult venture at the time because people felt there was
VIC SCHUKOV Column a need to have theatre in Brighton. We dug the hole in 2000 and kept gathering funds, and building accordingly. SOHO gave us an initial loan, and individuals started donating. Many local contractors did free work for us, on and on. We also got help from the town and the township. With so many to thank for having a part in it, it was a whole community effort." After Roy died in 2006, Anna took over as president, carrying on his tradition of getting things done. "We are totally responsible for everything on that property. We get a grant from the town every year, and that is gratefully accepted because it pays for our high insurance and taxes. After that, we raise money to keep all four furnaces going. We need to have a reserve fund for a rainy day because no one else will fix it but us. "The Barn's success has

Our theatre is like a mom and pop business, all run by volunteers. Newcomers are immediately accepted into the family same with the Proctor House Museum." Rittwage has done all kinds of things for the organization. "I was the Proctor housekeeper. I kept it in order, whatever needed doing. I was SOHO president for 10 years," she said.

Council approves additions to new fire rescue truck, new dump truck SARAH HYATT shyatt@northumberlandnews.com Brighton - Council has approved additional expenses for the new fire rescue truck and singleaxle dump truck to be purchased in 2018. These additions will have several benefits for the community and both purchases will still not exceed the budgeted amounts, council heard recently. The new rescue truck needs some supplementary safety items and "some simple adjustments," said fire Chief Rick Caddick. These adjustments will improve "safety and visibility while on the highway." The additional expenses are for lighting and safety equipment and total $7,410. Council previously awarded the contract for the truck in the amount of $338,950 before taxes to ResQtech Systems. Before the contract was awarded, council heard from former fire chief Lloyd Hutchinson,
how the 2018 rescue will be a much better vehicle, more dependable and ultimately "safer for firefighters" and "the residents" the department responds to. The new rescue, which should be in service by the end of 2018, is expected to last 25-plus years. The truck replaces the existing 1993 Ford rescue, which has been in use now for more than 24 years and is at the end of its life cycle. Upon final review, Caddick explained in his report, it was determined the lighting provided only met the minimum standard. "To enhance safety and ensure visibility we have asked the manufacturer to provide several more lights in various locations on the vehicle," he said. Other additions include a compartment to the interior cab area to ensure medical equipment will be properly secured and in arms reach of first responders, as well as compressed air and electrical connections for
shore power to the truck, to ensure all equipment is fully charged and ready for use. Recent changes push the total to $345,410 before taxes, so this is still about $17,460 under the 2018budgeted amount, said Caddick. As for the new dieselpowered single-axle dump truck, another $10,750 (plus taxes) has been approved. These funds are for the additions of a sidewalk unloader conveyor and a Nordik Move, which is described as a new plow blade technology. Staff has discovered a couple new technologies that will help with efficiency and that have other benefits and since the bid was under budget by about $56,410, staff is requesting additional funds for these pieces, Lucas Kelly, manager of capital infrastructure, recently told council. Richard Sparham, manager of public works and environmental services, made the request for the additional funds but was not at the latest

meeting. He did forward a report to council. Staff says the Nordik Move will help with road clearing and a decrease in salt application and overall usage. It also adapts to road surfaces and will mean a reduction in noise and vibration. The sidewalk unloader conveyor can apply salt, sand, granular materials, soil, gravel and asphalt with greater accuracy and less spillage, staff reports. Currently, the sidewalk plow travels back to public works to replenish salt, but the conveyor will add materials during its routes, "thereby saving time, costs and delays." As for sandbagging, "a greater advantage of late," the equipment's side discharge can be used to fill sandbags on site, meaning greater efficiency and less work for staff, volunteers and residents during times of need, said Sparham.

Campbellford - A "safe space" where individuals, couples and families can receive counselling for depression, grief, relationship problems and other issues held its grand opening recently in Campbellford. Transitions Counselling Services is owned and operated by social workers Laureen Mitchell and Sarah Michelle Ogden, both of whom worked previously at Trent Hills Family Health Team. "We are familiar with the mental health community and although there are fabulous services, there's not enough of them," said Mitchell, a Colborne native who's been a social worker for more than 30 years. The private practice therapy clinic they've started is intended to address that need. The two "have never taken on an endeavour like this, it's very new," she said. "We're excited about it." Ogden said anyone wishing to receive help can self-refer. She said she also offers "mental health first aid" for those who are in a crisis, suicidal or having a panic attack.
