Martinello says enough has been spent already in bid to solve sewage issue JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The municipality has spent $632,712 on consultants and lawyers to solve its problem with excessive levels of ammonia in its sewage but it's all been a waste of money, says Coun. John Martinello. "We've got basically nowhere," he told council at its May 22 meeting. Martinello said he was "shocked" by the figures going back three-and-a-half years, which he presented to once again argue that the municipality look at building a mechanical sewage treatment plant to resolve its ammonia problem. He put forward a motion asking that a request for proposals be drawn up "in order to stop wasting taxpayers' money" by continuing with the current approach. The plant he envisions would be large enough to accommodate residential, commercial and in-
dustrial requirements for the next 50 years. It "makes sense" for the municipality to get a plant that will meet its long-term needs and "allow this place to thrive," Martinello said. The municipality has already been fined $25,000 and "We've got faces a threat of more basically charges benowhere." ing laid by the Ministry - Coun. John of the EnviMartinello ronment and Climate Change for elevated ammonia concentrations in its treated effluent. Citing figures he obtained from director of finance Linda Widdifield, Martinello said GSS Engineering Consultants Ltd. has been paid $279,438 since June 22, 2015, and J.L. Richards has been paid $71,747 since Sept. l See COUNCILLOR'S, page 3

20, 2016. The municipality has also spent $281,527 on legal costs. The numbers don't include staff time and "all the attempts we've made at installations to improve" the system, he added, "and still we have a pollution (control) plant that isn't working," dogged by problems with ammonia levels that are in noncompliance with its certificate of operation. Mayor Mark Walas pointed out the ministry has repeatedly told the municipality it "does not support Brighton moving toward a mechanical plant" and that it should "get on" with the preferred solution it was given in the environmental assessment (EA) done by J.L. Richards - installation of a specialized system that complements the existing lagoon. The estimated cost was $6.5 million but the engineering firm noted one-third was for a number of "overdue" operational and maintenance activities that needed to be done. Walas noted a number of improvements have been made to the system. The firm pegged the cost of the alternative mechanical facility at between $15 million and $25 million. Martinello's motion was deferred until council's June 4 meeting at which a representative of J.L. Richards will be
asked to attend to provide comment. Coun. Steve Baker asked for the delay, saying he was "not comfortable" setting into motion plans to build a mechanical treatment plant and wanted "to ask a few more questions for clarification" regarding the EA that has been done. "It may seem like a cop-out to some," he said, but "I'm not willing ... to put that burden on a new council." "We've been out of compliance periodically for almost a decade, we need to do something," Deputy Mayor Roger McMurray said. "The consultants gave us a good step to move forward and I would like to move forward with that," said Coun. Mary Tadman, who seconded Baker's motion to defer. "All we are doing is passing the buck onto another council, and I don't want to do that," Coun. Brian Ostrander said. Martinello said he is looking to have an expanded EA done that looks at a mechanical plant. "If the next council decides not to proceed, they can choose to do that," he said. Walas said council does have a solution but "we are gridlocked and not moving forward on that." The mayor broke the tie on the motion to defer, siding with Baker, Tadman and Coun. Laura Vink, while Martinello, McMurray and Ostrander voted no.
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The CIBC bank on Main Street was robbed last Friday, May 25. Northumberland OPP issued a news release Monday saying a lone male entered the bank shortly after 3 p.m. and passed a note to a teller demanding money. The employee complied and the suspect left the bank, fleeing in a blue pickup truck that was last seen travelling west on Main Street. No weapon was seen and the truck, described as a Dodge Dakota pickup truck, was located a short time later abandoned behind a nearby church west of the bank. The OPP Emergency Response Team and Canine Unit attended the scene where the truck was recovered and conducted a track that proved unsuccessful. The OPP said investigators believe a second vehicle was used by the suspect to flee from that scene. The blue Dodge truck had been reported stolen from the

Fundraising campaign launches for skate park expansion JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The Brighton Skate Park Committee officially launched its fundraising campaign for an expanded and refurbished park with a special ceremony held at the King Edward Park site on May 24. A thermometer was unveiled showing $250,000 as the goal. So far $55,000 has been raised to date, with the municipality having set aside $52,500 for the project in its parkland reserve. Committee chair Tania Light said donations have been received from the Thursday Night Old OldTimers, the Rotary Club of Campbellford, the Knights of Columbus, Brighton Lions and Harry's Hots. "We're looking for new fundraising ideas of how we can achieve our goal," Light said.

Brighton Skate Park Committee officially launched its fundraising campaign for an expanded and refurbished park with the unveiling of a thermometer that will track the community's fundraising efforts. Mayor Mark Walas said "it's wonderful to see the youth involved" as well as
service clubs. "There's a lot of work ahead," he added.

Phase 1 will be to put together a design in 2019 in consultation with young
people. "I'd like to see something more challenging for the kids, like a bowl or a halfpipe," Light said in an interview. "They'll take what the kids really want and we'll see what we can afford." The existing skate park is square-shaped. "They don't make them like that anymore," Light said. "They always go with the design of the landscape, which isn't easy. I'd love it to be beautiful and nice to look at, not just for the kids but for everybody to be able to come in and enjoy." It emerged at an open house that the fence around the skate park should be removed, to allow it "to flow in with the rest of the park and ... make it more inclusive for everyone," Walas said. "The whole goal is to make it accessible for ev-
erybody, make it more challenging for all different skill levels, and different modes of the sport," including scooter and BMX bikes, Light said in an interview. "They're going to be incorporating some of the pieces that we still have that are in good shape and adding new pieces." The park was built in 2004 at a cost of roughly $75,000 with the aid of a $42,500 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. "It would be nice to see it expanded and brought into today's realm as far as skate parks go," director of parks and recreation Jim Millar told those attending the unveiling. "I'm quite excited." He estimated the park, which measures 100 by 80 feet, will be increased by half toward the south.

BRIGHTON - A local company has been hired to replace the gazebo in Memorial Park with a new stage plus washrooms. Jeffery G. Wallans Construction was awarded the contract for $236,700 at council's meeting on Tuesday. The overall cost of the project, however, is $263,468, when HST, and engineering, architect and plumbing fees are included, along with other costs, such as providing power to the building. That's $63,468 more than what had been estimated and secured in funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation ($100,000), Rotary Club of Brighton ($25,000), Brighton Lions Club ($25,000) and Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund ($10,000); that was in addition to the $40,000 the municipality had committed. Council dealt with the shortfall by voting to make up the difference by borrowing internally from its own financial resources and repaying the amount over five years. The bid from Wallans was the lower of the two submitted for the tender. The other was by a Shannonville company, at $291,947. Mayor Mark Walas not-
ed the municipality is "virtually getting a stage at half-price based on the monies (it's) been able to find through the other groups that have come forward." Director of parks and recreation Jim Millar said there are "also other groups in the community that are willing to come forward after, for ancillary items," such as sound equipment, a projector, and "other needs" identified by staff. Walas further noted that the park will be getting accessible washrooms the community has wanted "for at least 20 years ... which is a good news story." With the awarding of the contract, "We're going to move very quickly" in getting the project started, Millar said. He said the weekly summer concerts will be able to continue in the park, but elsewhere on the grounds, using the stage that was refurbished last year with Celebrate Ontario grant money. Concertgoers "will also get to see the progress on the new build," Walas added.

When a show of hands isn't enough to let people know where you stand Had a front-row seat to history being made locally the other night: Brighton council set a record for recorded votes. Eight to be exact. Coun. Mary Tadman said it marked a new high as well as a new low, if I understood her right - and I'm inclined to agree, on the record part, without having taken the time to scour years of council minutes to confirm, tempting though that challenge is. I have holidays coming up. Maybe then. Now you should know that recorded votes aren't normally done that often in an evening's work by elected officials. Usually they only take place at the request of a council member who wants the public to know where everyone around the table stands on an issue that's deemed to be contentious. A show of hands isn't enough in those instances because the minutes of the meeting will simply note whether a motion was approved or defeated, without identifying by name the persons responsible for such a terrible decision. So a recorded vote does have merit in holding office-holders accountable for their actions at critical times in a community's af-

JOHN CAMPBELL Column fairs. And so it was then on May 22 that the position of each council member was clearly delineated for posterity on multiple occasions. Only three involved matters where opinion was sufficiently divided that it required the mayor to cast the deciding vote. A clear majority prevailed among the remainder, including two where the vote was unanimous, leading at least one dispassionate - and ruggedly handsome - observer to wonder why a recorded vote was even necessary. Was it to document an infrequent show of solidarity by an often fractious group or was it intended to be a demonstration of all-out support for a deed well worth doing? The concern now is that a standard has been set that council members might find necessary to at least match if not surpass in the months to come for the purpose of full transparency in an election year. A noble sentiment that, but the prospect of longer meetings, for the record, is displeasing. – John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

• LETTERS & COMMENTARY • May the best person win Dear Editor: Two recent articles in the Independent inform the community that the competition for Brighton mayor is off and running with the candidates agreeing that there have been fundamental problems with the present council, but offering starkly different explanations as to the cause. Challenger Brian Ostrander suggests that "The divisive issue is the fact that our mayor is a developer, and there needs to be a change there", whereas Mark Walas suggests "I firmly believe that Brighton doesn't need a new mayor, what Brighton needs is a new council". The sad thing is that both agree that council's performance has
been subpar and taxpayers have to wonder why the current council did not find a way to work together for the good of the community. As a community, we need to inspire and support candidates who are willing to work as a team for the greater good and reject those who are overly combative to the extent that they are likely to launch personal attacks on fellow council members or members of staff.

charming reminder of who we are and where we came from. The Memorial Park gazebo is one of the few things that makes Brighton interesting. The sturdy 1915 school on Elizabeth Street was replaced with a meaningless brick block repeated in every other anonymous Ontario town, and now you are taking down the only other authentic aspect of our centre town. It may need repair, it may need paint, it may even need better access, but to demolish the structure along with any history it may hold and put up a square, uninteresting 'stage' is clearly near sighted and not at all useful. I'm sure many well meaning groups and people worked to replace this lovely structure but the effect will be devastating. Brigh-

Ontario's massive debt and servicing costs raised at all-candidates meeting
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Campbellford - Ontario's enormous debt is costing the province a billion dollars a month in interest. When asked what his party has to say about it at an all-candidates meeting held on Tuesday, May 15, Liberal candidate Lou Rinaldi answered the accumulated debt, an estimated $325 billion, was "built up by all parties" - the Progressive Conservatives last held office 15 years ago, the NDP not since 1995 - to "help deliver services that our communities need." He then used the opportunity to tout how his party plans to expand those services, such as making prescriptions free for seniors and people under 25. There is a cost, he acknowledged, but when the Progressive
Conservatives held power it was an era of "slash and burn" costcutting that contributed to schools being neglected, and social assistance spending being reduced by 22 per cent. "We'd rather invest in people, not destroy people," Rinaldi said. "I can think of a lot better things to do with a billion dollars a month," Green party candidate Jeff Wheeldon said. The Greens have made it a priority to shrink the debt and debt payments by making "strategic investments upfront that will reduce costs in the long term." He agreed "some investments are worth making but we need to be able to look at how can we do that wisely so we're getting increasing returns." Any savings realized "would get rolled back" into programs

No Parking signs to be installed on Harbour Street for safety of pedestrians JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
northumberlandnews.com
Brighton - No Parking signs will be placed along the length of Harbour Street so pedestrians won't be forced onto the road by parked vehicles. Coun. John Martinello raised the matter at council's May 22 meeting, saying the municipality's accessibility advisory committee identified the problem and council had agreed about two months ago to have the signs installed. "For whatever reason they haven't been," he said. He noted large trucks frequently park on the sidewalk.
"I've seen too many times where people in wheelchairs are forced to go out into the road because these trucks are parked there," he said. "It's a real safety issue," said Coun. Mary Tadman who, like Martinello, is a member of the accessibility advisory committee. She said there are "several people" on Harbour Street who use the sidewalk "on a daily basis." Mayor Mark Walas said "it all comes back to enforcement. "If we don't have the people out there to do the enforcement, circumstances may continue."

"to eliminate the debt or deficits" they have been running. "Once they're in the black again then we can start expanding more services," Wheeldon said. "We definitely don't want to be continuing to pour money into services that maybe we can't afford, without addressing big gaps that have money falling out the bottom." NDP candidate Jana Papuckoski said her party has a "wellcosted and honest plan" to invest in Ontarians, infrastructure and communities and how it "will go about paying for it. "Because we're not afraid to be taxing our wealthiest members of society we will actually be able to better fund them," she said.

Trillium party candidate Derek Sharp said the province's debt has grown to an "unmanageable level" which his party will address by cutting out layers of bureaucracy "that are siphoning money off before (it gets) to the people who need it." After savings are found, "then it becomes a matter of not spending more than we have," Sharp said. "We think it's ridiculous that one-third of our tax revenue is going to service the debt." Progressive Conservative candidate David Piccini said Ontario has "the largest subsovereign debt in the world" and its annual deficit has grown from
$6 billion to $11 billion, according to the auditor general. The Liberals are "running massive deficits and they have no idea how they're going to pay" for them. "Tough decisions need to be made here," because the province is "maxing out" the credit cards of future generations, "and it's got to stop." Piccini said. "This government has no idea about how to be fiscally responsible and prudent managers of the public purse, and they're letting you down." The Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce hosted the meeting held at the local high school. Ontarians head to the polls next Thursday, June 7.

Brighton's Own: Aptly crowned Queen Bee
Margaret Appleby has enjoyed a 'fruitful' career, columnist writes How often do you see a last name that suits one's profession? Margaret Appleby farmed an apple orchard with a lot of help from family and friends for 16 years, just outside Hilton. Some locals still call her Queen Bee (as in Apple-bee.) Appleby was born in the United States, while her parents were studying in Providence, Rhode Island: "My dad studied psychiatry and mom neurology. I am a Canadian born abroad. From Providence, they moved to Denver, CO, to complete their schooling. I followed them around because I had to. (Smiling.) We returned to Toronto when I was four years old." At 20, she pursued a bachelor of science in agriculture at Guelph University. "I got interested in it when some friends said to me that I should go to Guelph because they had gone there and really liked it. To which my parents added, 'You know, people who took agriculture at Guelph are always happy.' (Laughing)." It turns out her friends and parents were right. "I like agriculture because it's real. You are producing something tangible. And nature is really complex. After I graduated, I
VIC SCHUKOV Column came to Brighton because my dad had an orchard here which he had established while I was in high school. I wanted to try my hand at farming, and the orchard needed looking after, so I came down and grew apples. I was 23 years old and lived in a mobile home as the original farm house was in bad shape. " Appleby's life, like here namesake, blossomed after arriving on the farm in 1976. She met a fellow down the road, got married, had a child, and farmed the land until 1992. "I applied for a job with the Ministry of Agriculture in the Brighton office, beside the high school. I got the job, I guess, because I had my degree and some experience. I worked as a horticultural adviser to horticultural growers. I enjoyed my career (immensely.) The Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) has always had an excellent culture of encouraging learning." Queen Bee retired (from OMAFRA) after "23 fabulous years." Since 2015, she has been a busy horticultural consultant to apple and grape growers throughout surrounding counties. She gets plenty of sun and fresh air driving to prospective orchards, examining the soil, and making suggestions as to where trees should be planted. For the past three years she has also been teaching at the Whitby campus of Durham College: "They have a twoyear program called Food and Farming, with a greenhouse, large garden, a small orchard and a culinary school. I teach courses in fruit production, botany, entomology, plant pathology and integrated management." As suggested earlier, life has truly been fruitful for Appleby, not by coincidence: "It's really important to do things that are interesting and fun; if they are not then it's not worth doing. I find people in Brighton, for the most part, like what they are doing and are happy. And when you talk to them, you learn so much."

New venue gave annual event better exposure in town, organizer explains

Lions' walk for dog guides raises more than $5,200
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - This year's walk for dog guides, which took place last Saturday, was different in a couple of ways from the four held previously in the community. The Lions Club of Brighton once again served as host for the event but the starting point for the threekilometre walk was Memorial Park, not Memory Junction. "We thought we needed to be a little more exposed to the public," organizer Harvey Moore said of the choice of venue. Also new was the sponsor, Pet Valu. Purina had

Right; Participants in the Brighton Lions annual guide dog walk held May 26 set out from Memorial Park. been it for dog guide walks across Canada for 30-some years "but their contract ran out and they didn't renew it," Moore said. The purpose hasn't
changed: to raise funds for Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, whose mission is to provide at no cost a dog guide to eligible Canadians with visual, hearing,
medical or physical disabilities. That's a large undertaking, as it costs $25,000 to raise, train and place each dog guide, without any government funding being pro-
vided. More than $15 million has been raised nationally over the years in support of the foundation, which has placed dog guides with close to 2,770 men, women and children. The first year the Lions hosted the walk, it raised more than $5,700, Moore said. "The next year it was probably around $3,500, the third year it was over $4,000, and the fourth year it was about $4,200," he said. Moore said on Monday that more than $5,200 had been raised. "I'm thrilled," he said.
The event drew 21 participants, which was also "a big improvement," he added. One of the walkers was Lions member Jane Keeler, who was joined by fouryear-old Avery Clark, also from Colborne. It was the fifth year Keeler had taken part in the walk. She had a foster puppy for a year that was being raised to be a dog guide but it failed the program. "That's how I got started and that's how I became a Lion 18 years ago," Keeler said.

Brighton runner inspires and encourages others SARAH HYATT shyatt@northumberlandnews.com
northumberlandnews.com
BRIGHTON Inspiring. That's one of the words most often used to describe Brightonian Jodie Hutchinson, whether online, by her friends and supporters, or by other runners and even complete strangers. "I was a lot heavier when I started running," said Hutchinson, who tackled her first fivekilometre event about four years ago. She's since lost about 140 pounds. Before, she was always a cheerleader for her friends during their runs. She was the one hanging out with cowbells at the finish line. But after some time, she began to ask herself, "Why can't I do this? Why can't I run?" For Hutchinson, she believes there's no such thing as a runner's body or a perfect runner. As far as she's concerned, perfect is just a word, and she continues to share this message, encouraging others with her wins. "Running does not discriminate," she said. "What you give running, it gives back to you." She is often heard sharing these words in interviews or with people who reach out to her. She tells folks to just do their best and have fun and enjoy running. Getting to her first start line and then crossing her first finish line, it was a pretty emotion-
al experience, she admits. But ever since, she's been racing ahead, pushing herself to accomplish more and bigger goals, including 10-km and 15-km events. She did her first halfmarathon in 2016. "I just felt there was no reason I couldn't do it," she said. Hutchinson worked at changing "everything in her life" that year, to see her goal through. From asthma, to injuries, she's let nothing get in her way. In 2018, her goal is to become a marathoner despite the injuries she recently suffered while running in the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. In October, she'll start in Buffalo and finish at the brink of the falls while tackling the Niagara Falls International Marathon. Just last year, and for Canada's 150th birthday, she was named the No. 1 non-elite runner in iRun magazine. Still, the humble Brightonian often doesn't know what to say about it, except "This is just who I am. I'm just a small-town country girl." She is often seen or heard encouraging others during events and is well known in the running community for her kindness and for speaking up "for the back half of the pack." She'll likely never reach a podium - maybe when she's 90, she joked - and that's not why she runs. "I'm doing this for my own health and my mental well-being," said the runner, who
doesn't focus on things like times or personal bests when participating in an event. At the same time, though, she does try to speak up for the "forgotten group" at the back and encourages others. She'll often chat and check in with her fellow runners at the back half, ask if they need help, offer mentoring. She even helped pace one woman in the Scotiabank Marathon five-kilometre event to complete the trek in under an hour for the first time. The two women had just met during the event. Hutchinson stayed with her the entire time and stopped just before the finish line, so the woman could cross it on her own and get that picture with the time clock. "It wasn't my victory," she told the runner at the end, and during a rather emotional moment. "I helped pace you, but your legs carried you here." And for Hutchinson, that's one of the best parts about running because no one can take your victories from you. "I just love the atmosphere at running event - it's so uplifting," she added. "There's something about completely random strangers cheering you on as you pass by." At the start of May, Hutchinson finally got clearance to run again after her fall during the Disney weekend event, and she is now starting 26 weeks worth of training for her marathon. A marathon is a very big dis-

She stumbled during the Disney half-marathon at around the five-kilometre mark; she suffered a concussion, torn shoulder and other injuries, but kept running for another 16 kilo-
metres. She completed the fiveand 10-kilometre events the days prior. Hutchinson refused to let "pain, blood and a swollen arm" stop her. "I was just so determined to finish." Her sole focus in coming months will be to complete her first marathon.

Swing bridge now open for boating season, vehicle traffic end of June bridge and the operator's kiosk." The bridge, which spans the Murray Canal on County Road 64, is being replaced with a two-lane swing bridge that will have a pedestrian sidewalk and full highway load rating, eliminating previous restrictions for emergency and service vehicles. It will also have upgraded mechanical and electrical features. The bridge has now been installed in the 'open' position and was in this posi-

"Its position will enable crews to work from the concrete piers while installing critical components for its operations. The bridge itself is expected to be operational for vehicle traffic by the end of June." Construction updates are posted online via www.parkscanada.ga.ca/ tswInfrastructure.

16 WHAT’S
Brighton Barn Theatre to stage three one-act plays in July "Thanks for the boost, doc, I feel like a new man!" JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - Frankenstein's monster as a standup comic? That's the twist in one of the three one-act plays Brighton Barn Theatre will stage during the month of July. Two of them, including Frankandstan, are by Victor Schukov, a columnist with the Brighton Independent who profiles local residents. The other is Him-a-layin' Krystal Bawl, about a woman who visits a psychic to find out what happened to her late husband. "They're both total farces ... (and) very, very odd," Schukov said. Frankandstan is his retelling of Mary Shelley's classic tale of horror. "Stan is the scientist, and Frank is the brain they put into the monster," Schukov
said. The moral of the novel was Don't Play God - a lesson that was made clear when the brain chosen for the scientific experiment was that of a lunatic who, when brought back to life, proceeded to torment his creator. In Schukov's version, the brain is that of a standup comic, Stan, "who drives (Frank) nuts with one-liners." Schukov knows how to deliver on that score. "I did two years of standup comedy in Montreal," he said. "The Barn likes to do farces ... so that was right up my alley." The third one-act play, Three Tables, by American playwright and actor Dan Remmes, is more of a comedy-drama, in which three couples in different stages in their relationship reveal themselves while seated at separate tables in a restaurant. Each play is 30 to 40 minutes long. All three directors - Devin Bird, Joanne Hoekstra and Nikki Parks - are direct-
ing for the first time. All three acted in the Barn's last production, "To see your words come to life is a real thrill," said Schukov, who has written several plays - the one-act kind as well as those that are the traditional length. Brighton has "some phenomenal actors," and their dedication is "amazing ... I've got a whole new respect for actors," he said. Equally impressive are the directors whose work he's seen on display at the Barn. "It's not uncommon for them to put a spin that the writer didn't even intend and ... sometimes it's actually funnier. They're, like, writing on the run. They're great." Producer Doug Phelan said Brighton Barn Theatre hasn't offered one-act plays in about five years. "So far, what I've seen, they're a laugh a minute," he said of the latest offerings. An Evening of One Act Plays will open July 6 and conclude July 22. Tickets are $17.50.

Boardwalk to beach at Presqu'ile good news for visitors with limited mobility JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

CHATTERING AWAY
ON
Brighton - The municipality's accessibility advisory committee is "very excited" that a boardwalk will be built from a parking area to Beach 1 in Presqu'ile Provincial Park. Having the walkway "go over the sand dunes ...(will) be helpful for all individuals with accessibility needs as well as fam-
ilies with strollers," said Nicole Vreeswyk, chair of Brighton's accessibility advisory committee. It will bring tourists to the area and "help families use it a lot more," she said. The estimated cost for materials, $20,000, is being shared equally by the Municipality of Brighton and the park, and The Friends of Presqu'ile will construct the boardwalk, us-
ing volunteer labour. The structure will extend from the parking area to the hard, compacted sand on the beach, Vreeswyk said. "It was something that we had approached Presqu'ile Park about a while ago just because we know there are a number of residents who say they would love to go to the beach but they can't make it to the beach."
