Pair charged in robbery of Brighton bank last month JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - A man has been charged in connection with a robbery at the CIBC branch in May. Northumberland OPP say the man was arrested in the Havelock area on June 7 by members of the provincial Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement unit. A woman was arrested at the same time. At the time of their arrest, they were in possession of a vehicle that had been reported stolen in Halton Region earlier in the day, police said, adding that several items were seized, including a stun gun, a collapsible baton and breakand-enter instruments.

On May 25, the day of the bank robbery, a man entered the CIBC branch shortly after 3 p.m. and passed a note to a teller demanding money, police said. The employee complied and the suspect fled in a blue pickup truck that was last seen travelling west on Main Street in Brighton. No weapon was seen and the pickup, described as a Dodge Dakota, was found abandoned a short time later behind a nearby church west of the bank, police said. Andrew Aaron Lamore, 33, of no fixed address, is charged with robbery with violence; two counts of possession of property obtained by crime (over $5,000); possession of a pro-

hibited device or ammunition; possession of break-in instruments; possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose; theft of a motor vehicle; and two counts of failing to comply with a probation order. Marcie Lea Haase, 29, of Mississauga, is charged with possession of a prohibited device or ammunition; possession of break-in instruments; possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose; and possession of property obtained by crime (over $5,000). Lamore was held for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg. Haase was released and is scheduled to appear at court in Cobourg on July 18.

The Sports Inter Group of Quebec City will be paid $8,686 to supply four 4.6 metre, five-row aluminum bleachers for King Edward Park. It was the lowest of six bids received.

Brighton will also purchase six six-metre flotation pontoons for a new floating dock at Bay Street Marina. Treasure Island Marine of Kingston was awarded the contract for $6,832. There were two other bids, including one that was slightly lower but for shorter pontoons. The purchase is part of a plan to replace the three mooring docks at Bay Street with two. The first dock was replaced in late 2017.

of Northumberland-Peterborough South sent a clear message with a PC majority government," he said. "We choose a positive vision for Ontario, we choose a government that will work for you the people." Piccini said the PCs will be a government for all Ontarians, including those who did not vote for the party. "We will defend the interests of rural Ontario and I will work hard each and every day for you," he added. Pointing to the countless individuals and families he spoke with in the past year-and-a-half - at front doors, at kitchen tables, at businesses and on farms - Piccini said those stories have shaped him. "They have made me a better person and will make me a better MPP," he said to a cheering crowd. "Your stories may be singular but our destiny is shared." Noting that the community chose positive change, Piccini said the torch has been passed through a new generation in Northumberland-Peterborough South. "A generation unwilling to stand by idly when our future is mortgaged," he said. "We will move forward in Ontario, we will tackle the debt." Piccini also thanked his other opponents and acknowledged the hard work of former MPP Lou Rinaldi. Although Liberal candidate Lou Rinaldi did not

win, serving as MPP for 12 of the last 15 years, "it's been the best 12 years of my life," he told his supporters at the Carpenter's Union Hall on election night. While he certainly wishes the circumstances were different, "this is still the best country in the world," he told the crowd as the polls closed and he knew he had lost. Rinaldi will likely not run again, he told the Brighton Independent. Moving forward, he'll be looking forward to spending time with his grandchildren. He'll be able to attend his granddaughter's hockey games now, he said. Though disappointed with the loss, the sun will come up tomorrow and Rinaldi's been here before back in 2011, he said. Rinaldi couldn't thank his supporters and family enough Thursday. The community and his supporters "kept me going every day," he said. Along the way over the last 12 years, Rinaldi's made some "phenomenal friends." He and his team campaigned hard and together, with his supporters, Rinaldi says "We all can be very, very proud of what we have accomplished." "I think this was way bigger than us - but we still had hope," he said. The now former and long-time MPP has "no regrets whatsoever." He's wishing Conservative David Piccini "all the best," and both publicly congratulated Piccini as well as

called him personally on election night. For his supporters, Rinaldi didn't win this election - but he did change this region for the better for the last 12 years. He received roaring rounds of applause as he concluded the evening with his final speech. Rinaldi and NDP candidate Jana Papuckoski were battling for second place as the results came in with Papuckoski a few hundred votes more than Rinaldi. "I am not really surprised," she said from the gathering at the Cat and the Fiddle on election night. As she met with people across the riding Papuckoski said residents made it clear they didn't want the Liberals to return to power. Although it was likely the highest number of votes the NDP has received in the riding, Papuckoski knew the NDP were doing well. She hopes the NDP momentum will continue for the federal election. Other candidate results include the Green Party's Jeff Wheeldon who took 2,727 votes; Libertarian John O'Keefe received 425 votes; Trillium Party can-

ENSS student to represent Canada at world water competition Holly Tetzlaff to present her findings in Stockholm Aug. 25 to 30 JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - Grade 12 East Northumberland Secondary School student Holly Tetzlaff will represent Canada at the International Stockholm Junior Water Prize Competition this summer. She was chosen for her project, "Disappearance Doesn't Equal Disintegration - the Environmental Impact of Pseudo Flushables," which determined that not all products advertised as flushable disintegrate like toilet paper. That can cause serious problems in municipal sewer systems. The project was judged Best at Fair at the Peterborough Regional Science Fair in April and earned Tetzlaff a bronze at the Canada-Wide Science Fair held in Ottawa in May. Being awarded the prestigious Canadian Stockholm Junior Water Prize, which includes an all-expenses paid trip to Stockholm, Aug. 25 to 30, is "amazing," Tetzlaff said. "When I got the email I

burst into tears because I was so unbelievably happy to see that my project was recognized," she said, and that she would be representing Canada. The competition will take place during World Water Week, when experts and decision-makers gather to discuss finding solutions to water problems that exist around the world. "I don't actually feel that intimidated," Tetzlaff said. "I'm honestly just so grateful to have the honour to represent Canada ... and to also have the chance to spread my Red Fish Route message and all my scientific findings with the world." Red Fish Route is an environmental educational program aimed at students in grades 1 to 6 that Tetzlaff developed as a Caring for Our Watershed initiative. It makes the connection between the drains in houses, schools and city buildings to streams, rivers and lakes. It features stickers shaped like a fish that are coloured red, like a stop sign, to remind people to think twice before they flush because human waste and toilet paper are the only two materials truly suitable for flushing. Students are also given a door hanger they can personalize and hang on their

bathroom door at home to disseminate the knowledge they have gained, to family and friends. Being part of a generation of students taught at school about "litterless lunches and proper ewaste disposal, I knew good lifelong habits could be formed from a young age with the right encouragement," Tetzlaff said in a June 4 presentation to Brighton council, a day before she received word she would be going to Sweden. She has delivered her message to more than 6,800 students within the Lower Trent Conservation region. Tetzlaff said she has been told by adults that they have been flushing facial tissues for years but would stop after watching her toilet paper challenge. Canada's sanitary systems are aging, "and the flushable market is expanding without regulation," Tetzlaff told council. Clogs are on the rise, to the detriment of the country's economy and environment, and they're affecting the health of Canadians. She won a gold medal in Grade 8 for a Canada-Wide Science Fair project that looked at the environmental impact of shifting consumer hygiene trends, or "wipes versus pipes." She tested the rate of disintegration for com-

Keep safe against ticks and Lyme disease

northumberlandnews.com

They are among the tiniest of arachnids and you may not even feel their bite. But the harm ticks can inflict can lead to debilitating Lyme disease if left unchecked. With the return of warm, summer weather, ticks are alive and active. According a May 17, 2018 post by the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, our area of Northumberland County is considered 'high risk' for the black legged variety. "It's best to always check yourself for ticks each time you've been outdoors, and take immediate steps to remove any tick that has attached itself to you," Richard Ovcharovich, Manager of Environmental Health with the HKPR District Health Unit, notes in the post. There are precautions we can take to help reduce your risk of getting bitten by a tick. If you dress in light-coloured clothing, it makes adult ticks and nymphs (small stage of the tick), easier to see when they are on you as they are darker in colour. The health unit recommends spraying bug repellent with DEET on your clothes and skin before venturing outdoors. Do a tick check when you or your children return inside. Don't forget your pets - even if they don't go outdoors (like cats), anyone can bring them inside and they can find your indoor pet. If possible have someone check you from the back, or hop in a quick shower to help remove any unattached ticks. It is important to know that not all ticks carry the bacteria (Borrelia burgdoferi) that cause Lyme disease. Lyme disease transmission depends on the length of time the infected tick is attached. Ticks that are removed quickly and have been attached for less than 24 hours are not likely to transfer the bacteria, notes the post. However, if the tick has been attached for longer than a day, you may be at an increased risk and it is recommended that you consult your health care provider. If you find a fat tick, it is an indication that it has been feeding for a longer period of time and you should provide this information to your health care provider. "Symptoms of Lyme disease include skin rash, fever, headache and muscle/joint pain," the health unit notes. "Lyme disease can lead to recurring arthritis, neurological problems, numbness or paralysis if left untreated. If detected early, Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics." Consult your health care provider as soon as you experience any of these symptoms. And visit the health unit website (www.hkpr.on.ca) for more information.

It's a raspberry for Liberals from voters Ruling party brought about its own demise with errors that cost billions, writes Campbell The people have spoken, and it was a roar: Anger drove them to administer a thrashing. They wanted the ruling Liberals gone in the worst way and short of denying them any seats in the legislative assembly altogether, which would have been the absolute worst embarrassment for Kathleen Wynne's troops, the people got their wish. The party that has held power for 15 years was

JOHN CAMPBELL Column kicked to the curb in Thursday's election. The Liberals have no one to blame but themselves. For all the good they accomplished - a point some people will vigorously dispute they made way too many errors costing billions that couldn't be overlooked. Voters had had enough. Sadly for the Liberals, they might even be held to blame for what's to follow. Their credibility had

sunk so low that the prospect of a minority government being voted in faded with their demise, and with it any hope of the Progressive Conservatives being held in check. The Conservatives' command of Queen's Park is now unassailable. How they intend to govern the province is not an unreasonable concern, given that new premier Doug Ford comes across as a Donald Trump-lite figure in many respects. Both are populists who rely on slogans at the expense of details to advance their agendas. Ford has promised to make life easier for the little guy. And, "When I make a promise - I keep it," he says. In that case, expect a 75

per cent reduction in childcare costs for lower-income families, a 10-cent a litre reduction in gasoline taxes, a 12 per cent cut in hydro bills (above the 25 per cent the Liberals had promised), more money for hospitals, nurses and mental health systems, a program to cover 80 per cent of the cost for specific drugs and dental work, an end to the Green Energy Act, and the cancellation of projects not yet begun construction. If Ford can do all that and more without being divisive, autocratic, thinskinned and is, at the same time, open to ideas from outside his core base of supporters, he will do well as the leader of all Ontarians. – John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

being laid. Walas noted Brighton has been under a provincial officer's order to correct its ammonia problem since September 2015. It led to an EA being undertaken. He said three ministry officials have stated separately they "did not support the municipality moving toward a mechanical plant." "The MOE (Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change) is reluctant to tell you what to do, to make a decision for you, but they like to voice their opinion, to steer you in a certain direction," Saxton said. He said the price tag for a plant could range between $20 million and $25 million, and have an annual operating cost of $1 million. Martinello, McMurray and Ostrander all questioned the projected population numbers the consultants had employed in concluding its preferred solution would serve Brighton for 20 years. Vink said she wanted to see the ammonia problem solved now. "We don't currently have a capacity problem. I don't want to spend more money trying to solve a problem we don't have," she said. Martinello said fixing the ammonia problem alone without considering the municipality's long-term needs is "shortsighted."

Brighton cadet corps again selected best for its size

A story in last week's Independent on the upcoming Brighton Dragon Boat Festival gave the wrong date for the event. The festival takes place on Saturday, June 23. Races will start at 8 a.m. near the Municipal Marina in Gosport. The Independent apologizes for the error.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps held its eighth annual ceremonial review last Saturday at East Northumberland Secondary School. And for the second year in a row, the cadets gathered after having been chosen the top small corps in the province. "This is a testament to the hard work and spirit that our corps has with regards to being active and engaged in cadet activities and the community," said Capt. Elizabeth Mills, who served as MC. The parachute battalion the corps is affiliated with was the first Canadian airborne unit to fight in the Second World War and it developed an outstanding reputation for never failing "to complete a mission or give up an objective once taken," Mills said. "These skills and more are what the cadet program exemplifies. It is about developing the values and the confidence that will allow youth to prosper and prepare them to become the leaders of tomorrow." Bob Mitchell, a Trenton resident who served with the Royal Canadian Navy during the Second World War and has been an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 58 years, served as the reviewing officer. "It's not often an old veteran gets to do something like this," he said. "Right now I'm on cloud 9." He told the cadets he hoped they had a successful school year. "Education is the key to the good life and advancement," he said. To try to get a good job without an education "would be like trying to push a car up a hill with a rope." Captain Robin Brooks, the corps' new commanding officer, said its focus on expedition has led it to purchase equipment that allow cadets to participate in extra training. "We are very excited to have our own canoes, paddles and now a trailer which enables our cadets to prepare for future

The Brighton corps, founded in September 2010, is one of 285 cadet corps and squadrons in Ontario. It currently has 28 members ranging in age from 12 to 18. They parade twice a week from September to mid-June. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 100 in Brighton is its sponsor. The corps is also supported by Legion Branch 187 in Colborne. Cadets assist the legions with poppy fundraising, Remembrance Day ceremonies "and other community events when needed," Captain Elizabeth Mills said.

Barbecue season in full swing for Brighton Rotarians

May is the start of the barbecue season for all of us and the Rotary Club of Brighton is no different. We had our first barbecue to support Community Care's Hospice Hike on May 6. This was followed at the Spring Valley Public School Spring Fair on May 17 and the Big Give on June 2. The Rotary Club supported the community with the following donations: • $300 to the Brighton Girl Guides; • $1,250 to support eight ENSS students attend the Ontario Education Leadership Centre; • $50 ad to support the summer Concerts in the Park. Brighton Rotarians participated: • Brighton Public School students participated in the InterRotary Spelling Bee. The finals for winning students representing their school is June 9 in Belleville. Good luck to the students from Brighton Public School. • A Junior Achievement program for Grade 7 and 8 students was also facilitated by the Rotary Club at Brighton Public School. This program teaches and encourages young people about financial management and getting a good education. HENRY HAYES MEMORIAL FUND One of the significant Rotary projects in recent years has been the Henry Hayes Memorial Fund in support of the Brighton Community. In 2013, the Rotary Club were given the home of the late Henry Hayes with the purpose to explore the option of determining

if the building could be used as a community facility. After a year, it was determined that the cost to upgrade the building to meet current accessibility and safety standards for a community building were excessive and cost prohibitive. Therefore, the property was sold, and the proceeds have been managed by the Rotary Club of Brighton to the betterment of the community. The proceeds have gone to support, or are being used for: • 103,554.66 net proceeds from the sale of the home; • $30,000 Brighton Public Library; • $5,000 Memorial Park clock; • $25,000 Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society; • $25,000 Friends Of Presqu'ile; • $5,000 SOHO/Brighton Barn; • $13,554.66 balance toward Memorial Park gazebo. UPCOMING BRIGHTON ROTARY EVENTS: • We are gearing up for our annual Rotary Golf Tournament at Barcovan to be held June 18. Come out for fun and fellowship and support Rotary in one of our major fundraisers. • Street Dance featuring Bentwood Rocker - July 28. Plan to join us Saturday evening for music, dancing and socializing. • Exchange students will soon return to their home countries, and Brighton's own ENSS student will return from a year in France and our new outbound student will leave.

Challenging rescue on water for Brighton volunteer auxiliary JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The mayday call came in around 3:30 p.m. on June 3. The Brighton Auxiliary Rescue Unit (BARU) was told to contact the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Trenton. "We were advised there was a sailboat taking on water off High Bluff Island," Paul Gauthier said. Inside 20 minutes six members of the volunteer organization boarded the unit's 30-foot Sea Ray and headed out to help. Mayday "is the most serious type of distress call," Gauthier said. 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron sent a helicopter. Cape Mercy, a search and rescue vessel based in Cobourg, responded as well. The sailboat was found anchored about 100 yards from the

island "in heavy seas," Gauthier said. The two men aboard had set out from CFB Trenton and were on their way home to Toronto. "Whatever was causing the water to come in was worse when it was under power," Gauthier said. "They were keeping up with a bailing bucket." Two of the squadron's search and rescue (SAR) technicians swam out from the island to the boat. "We nosed in with our vessel and threw a tow line to the SAR techs (who) secured the line to the bow of the boat, and then we backed out," Gauthier said. The water was just five feet deep, but "it was quite rough." As soon as they were in deeper water, the BARU crew transferred the two men onto the rescue boat. They also provided the SAR techs with a dewatering pump which they kept running while

the sailboat was being towed to Harbour View Marina. The rescue operation ended around 7 p.m. "It was a fairly challenging rescue, because of the (water's) conditions and the shallow water," Gauthier said. There was fog as well as rain which made for "very poor visibility." The two men "were very pleased to see us," he said. Although the island wasn't far away, "swimming in heavy seas like that is never a good idea. So I don't know if that would have been a good option for them." It was the first call for help BARU had received in 2018. There have been years "where we've been called 16, 17 times in the course of the season," Gauthier said. "Last season was fairly quiet. Boating traffic was down because of the high water levels. We only got four calls last year."

18 OPINION

Brighton's Own: Making a life in her community Sheema Raju connected through business and faith, columnist writes Sheema Raju was born in Kerala, a southern province in India. The family home in which she grew up (a devout Christian) was just across from a convent: "We went to mass there every morning at 6:30. The nuns taught us so much about how to live morally. My journey through life has been calculated ac-

VIC SCHUKOV Column cording to my prayers to God." At age 24, she was introduced to her future husband, Mr. Raju, during a visit encouraged by both of their families. It seems that they had virtually everything in common, from

customs to character, even in terms of profession. She was a graduate of optometry and his family had a successful optical business in India. He was already working in the business in Toronto. The couple soon married and settled there in 2003. In 2005, they moved to Kingston where they worked together for the same optical business. Their daughter was born a year later. Sheema's job involved a lot of driving in servicing local Walmart eye care outlets in Belleville, Trenton, Brockville, and Kingston.

"We decided we need to settle down in one place, so we moved to Belleville and rented a location in Trenton that was owned at the time by Hugh O'Neil (a Liberal member of the legislative assembly of Ontario from 1975 to 1995, who served as a cabinet minister in the government of David Peterson.) He was helpful and supportive and encouraged us to open up our own Optical business in Trenton." So, the Rajus launched Eyes N Optics in 2008 in Trenton. In 2015, they opened a second store in downtown Brighton. "We needed more space for all of our specialty products and moved into the location of the old dollar store when it moved over a few spots. We came

here because Brighton is a growing town. With people here, we have such great connections and have a great customer base." Sheema is equally connected to her faith. She is active in her church where she teaches catechism. "I believe that moral rules and values for children is very important. “At home, I pray a lot. I always say three rosaries before I sleep (Her middle name is Mary). Every morning, I give to God. I believe He is in control of my life." She gives an example of her strong belief in spiritual providence: "When I was a little girl, I had a dream about eyes with irises of different colours. So, I felt that in future I would be an optometrist. There was no

such courses offered at the time in my province where I lived but exactly after I graduated from Grade 12, the university opened an optometry program in my city." Sheema's philosophy is: "Be kind and compassionate to everyone because you don't know how you will be rewarded because God is working through all of us. I give my burdens, the ones too much for one person to carry, to Him, the Almighty power. That's how I live. By God's plan." P.S. Sheema's birthday is June 13. Happy birthday, Sheema! – Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a longtime journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people; victorschukov@gmail.com

YMCA Northumberland chief executive officer Eunice Kirkpatrick says Brighton has benefited greatly from having a local facility that provides programs and services. YMCA has significant impact on the local community." Kirkpatrick, whose update of the organization's operations in Brighton was made in advance of negotiations to renew its lease in November, asked council to consider what the "negative impacts" would be if the community didn't have a YMCA. They would include reduced financial contributions and employment opportunities, and increased travel for local residents, many of them retirees, who would have to go out of town for recreational programs. Kirkpatrick said it would also mean "decreased social and community connections," fewer volunteer opportunities and a decline in philanthropy. Brighton also could no longer market the presence of a YMCA "which is a proven incentive for newcomers to relocate" to an area. Kirkpatrick said the YMCA wants to ensure through the upcoming negotiations that it will continue to provide "a sustainable operational model capable of meeting the growing, changing needs of the Brighton community." It also wants to increase its fundraising initiatives "to ensure no one is ever

"Very few municipalities similar (in) size (to) Brighton can say they have the benefit of a YMCA in their town." - Eunice Kirkpatrick, CEO Brighton YMCA turned away," and to remain a centre for "promoting social engagement and inclusion" in the community. Deputy Mayor Roger McMurray and Coun. John Martinello said residents ask why the Brighton YMCA doesn't have a swimming pool. Kirkpatrick answered that a pool for a community the size of Brighton "wouldn't be sustainable." Should Brighton grow in population to the point where one was warranted, it would be the municipality that builds the facility and the YMCA contracted to operate it, she said. "It would be a joint effort in fundraising," she added. But the cost of construction would be steep, in the range of $20 million to $24 million, she said.

For the topping, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, salt and oatmeal. With the mixer on low speed, add the butter and mix until the dry ingredients are moist and mixture is in crumbles. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit, covering it completely, and bake for 1 hour, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream.

Brighton is fortunate to have a YMCA. Just how fortunate was the subject of a recent presentation to council by the CEO of YMCA Northumberland, Eunice Kirkpatrick. "Very few municipalities similar (in) size (to) Brighton can say they have the benefit of a YMCA in their town," she said, and she thanked the municipality's mayors and councils over the years for having made health and wellness one of the priorities for the community. Having a YMCA in town has benefited Brighton in many ways beyond providing a range of programs and activities that promote fitness and reduce stress. Deducting $600,000 subsidies it has received from the municipality and the Brighton Health Services Centre on Main Street where Brighton YMCA s located, the organization's net payments in rent total $750,000. The satellite facility employs 12 people a year on average and has provided full and part-time employment opportunities to 180 people over the last 15 years at a cost of $2.2 million in wages. It has contributed $3.55 million to the local economy in that time, "and using a multiplier effect we know that an additional third of that money is spent locally, which is another $1 million," Kirkpatrick said. Members of the Brighton community have also received $125,000 in financial assistance, as its "mission as a charity is to ensure everyone has equal opportunity to access YMCA programs and services," she added. "During any given year we serve approximately 900 people through membership ... and an additional 2,000 people through programs, services and day use," she said. "So you can see the Brighton

The Brighton Garden Club held its annual Spring Flower Show on June 2 at the King Edward Community Centre. This show was the largest public spring flower show in the corridor between Trenton and Port Hope. "Our members are inventive and love the friendly competition usually entering several flowers for judging," said Linda Wallis,

flower show conveyor. "This event really showcases our members and allows them to share their love of gardening." With more than 200 entries, three members were awarded with Best in Show Awards. In the Container Grown Plants competition, Pat Fillery won with her Bougainvillea. In the Horticultural Division, Lee Penney won with her Peony Tree blossom and in the Design Division, competi-

tors interpreted the theme of Spring Fling and the winner was Mary Hanlan. "I love flowers and my mom loved them too," said Lee Penney, Best in Show winner. "They are so alive and colourful and I love anything that grows." When asked what she would say to someone who wants to become a gardener, "Don't give up. You will lose some flowers but you will learn from your mistakes and with practice you

will get there and will grow beautiful flowers." The BGC was established in 1925 and always welcomes new members. Membership is $20 per year. Regular meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of every month, 7 p.m., at the King Edward Community Centre.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION

21

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - Appointed by council to be mayor last year, Bob Crate now wants the endorsement of voters to continue in the role. Crate took over as head of council last November after Hector Macmillan, who had been mayor of Trent Hills since 2003, died following a prolonged battle with cancer. "Looking at where we are and what we've started, I want to continue to do those things," he said, in explaining his candidacy. "We're looking at some further growth in subdivisions (and) we're about to embark on the new fire hall," he said. The challenge will be to accommodate "steady growth" while maintaining "the lifestyle we have in Trent Hills," he said. "We're fortunate we have the amenities we do." They include a hospital

that its administration has proposed be replaced with a new one, a project the municipality will be expected to help fund. "When we have people inquire about coming here (to live), it's in the top two, three questions you get - do you have a hospital, what's its current state," Crate said. Another large expenditure looming on the horizon is a $33 million recreation and wellness centre in Campbellford. The proposed facility will include an NHL-size rink, three pools and a multi-purpose room. "We need support from the provincial government and the federal government to do these things," he said. "We have to work with whoever's in power to get the things we need for Trent Hills." The new fire hall will be built in conjunction with Northumberland County and include space for its

Bob Crate wants to be elected as Trent Hills mayor. paramedics, as well as new council chambers. "We've had an excellent council," said Crate, who was first elected in 2010 as the lone representative for the Hastings ward.

"And we have to include our staff in there." He praised their work in the service delivery review that looked at all the departments and identified where changes could be

John Campbell/Metroland

made to improve efficiency and in a manner that was cost-effective. Crate faces competition in his bid to remain as mayor. Susan Fedorka has filed her nomination papers to

run for the top spot on council. She's a regular attendee at council meetings, sitting in the gallery. (Fedorka deferred having an article on her written until after the provincial election.) "It's always nice to see somebody out there," said Crate, who welcomes interest from the public in decisions council makes. People in Trent Hills "are discovering what we're trying to build ... a community that has all the amenities that people want when they move here. "We've got a great lifestyle here," he said. "We have a lot of great things to promote." Crate, who's 70, will have more time to devote to being mayor. He retired on Thursday, May 31, after working 46 years as a wine rep. "The only thing I've done longer in my life is being married to my wife (Judy) for 47," he quipped.
