BRIGHTON TO EXPAND HEALTH SERVICES CENTRE, YMCA CAN KEEP ITS SPACE JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - A solution has been reached that will allow YMCA Northumberland to continue to occupy the same footprint it does now in the Brighton Health Services Centre without having to make room for more doctors to set up practices. The answer, arrived at a special meeting held Thursday night at the King Edward Park Community Centre, is to build a 2,000-square-foot addition (or larger) at an estimated cost of $700,000. Council voted unanimously in favour of the compromise put forward by Mayor Mark Walas, which was a variation of one of the three options presented in a report by director of finance and administrative services, Linda Widdifield. The mayor's proposal was that the municipality continue to provide a $30,000 annual subsidy to the YMCA but have the agency pay more in rent for the 4,811 square feet it uses. He suggested the current
amount, $24,800, be increased by about $6,700. "I see an opportunity to move forward together," he said, expressing equal support for the YMCA and the family health team and its recruitment of physicians. With Brighton's population continuing to rise, "How can it make any sense to reduce service levels when we're growing?" he said. The municipality will repay the money it borrows for the project over 25 years. The impact to the taxpayer will be $16,500 annually. The other two options were to reduce the amount of space occupied by YMCA by 2,000 square feet and use it to make room for additional physicians, or have staff assist the not-for-profit organization find alternative space in Brighton before its fiveyear lease in the building expires the end of October. Council's decision drew loud cheers and applause from the 135 or so people attending the meeting. See YMCA, page 4

FIRST FARM 911 SIGN POSTED IN CRAMAHE; TOWNSHIP WANTS TO SEE MORE PUT UP JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Cramahe Township The municipality has its first Farm 911 sign. It was installed last week at a Combview Farm property on Stoney Lonesome Road. Northumberland County has committed $7,000 to Farm 911 - The Emily Project. It's an initiative that encourages rural property owners to mark the entrance to vacant lands, such as farmers' fields and woodlots, with special signage to ensure emergency responders are easily able to locate where a summons for help originated. The project takes its name after a seven-yearold Hastings County resident, Emily Trudeau, who was killed in a farm acci-
dent in 2014. The first sign installation in Northumberland took place last month at the farm of Allan Carruthers, past president of the Northumberland Federation of Agriculture (NFA), which urged the county to support the program. He said the parents of Emily gave paramedics and firefighters directions to the scene of the accident on their farm "and they drove by." As a first responder in Alnwick-Haldimand, "there are lots of times we are given an approximation of where the location is, and I can't tell how many times there's been instances where there's no 911 signs," Carruthers said. The Farm 911 signs, which are yellow with
black numbering, are entered into the 911 database. They can also be placed at a hunting camp, sugar shack or ATV trail, Carruthers said. "Any project that expedites emergency responder patient contact is a lifesaving tool," Cramahe Fire Chief Brandon Northrup said in a news release. "Project Emily is another example of proactive measures that Cramahe Township are implementing for the safety of those properties not currently protected with the 911 system." Mayor Marc Coombs said in the same release that township council encourages all rural property owners with vacant fields or woodlots to obtain a Farm 911 sign. "Anything we can do
that can get first responders to the scene quicker (and) help save a life is worth promoting," he stated. Dairy farmer Matt McComb said he and his parents, Bob and Marion McComb, plan to install several more signs on their farm properties in Cramahe. "If it can save one life ... it's worth it," he said. A bonus is that the signs also identify fields for service providers, such as farmers who do custom work, he added. NFA president Marty Opstein said he is getting two signs installed on his Brighton farm where there are no 911 signs "all the way down the road because there are no houses." The money the county is contributing to the project will cover the cost of 280 signs on a first come, first served basis. However, each municipality's policy is different and appli-

In back are CAO Craig Brooks and chief building official Gerald Sproule. cants could still pay $25 for a sign depending on where they live. To acquire one at no cost in Cramahe, an application must be made to the
township's compliance coordinator, Holly Grant. She can be reached at 905355-2821 ex. 126, or by email at hgrant@cramahetownship.ca.

A large portion of its business is the sale of embryos. "We're the top country for genetics," he said, because Canada represents "the leading edge." Former provincial agri-
culture minister Jeff Leal told the Russian visitors that Crovalley Holsteins "is a classic example of innovation in the dairy sector in the province of Ontario," adding: "Agriculture and agrifood processing is the largest economic driver in the province," at $37.5 billion. "Canada-Russia have
enjoyed a wonderful relationship in agriculture," he said, beginning with the late Eugene Whelan when he was the federal minister of agriculture and later a senator. "Russia was interested

Hastings - A large contingent of Russian dairy farmers and processors, in Canada to learn what makes this country's dairy industry so successful, spent part of a day at an award-winning farm near Hastings that has invested heavily in robotics. John and Cynthia Crowley and their two sons, Justin and Ryan, along with Justin's fiancé Meghan Taylor, welcomed the group of about 50 foreign visitors to Crovalley Holsteins on July 17. "It's pretty cool," John said, to be included on the five-day, 1,200-kilometre car rally hosted by Leading Livestock Genetics and the City of Kawartha Lakes. This is the seventh year for the annual event staged by the Dairy News, an online publication based in Moscow, but it's the first time the rally has been held outside Russia, said chief editor Vera Mozgovaya. The purpose of the trip was "to understand the Canadian dairy philosophy," including its system of supply management, and to learn how farmers here "face their challenges and (resolve) their problems." "We are really impressed by the farms (and their) effective management," she said. "In Russia there are many megafarms but (their) management's not on the same level" as Canada's much smaller dairy farms.
Mozgovaya really liked what she saw at Crovalley, saying "the family is very friendly" and its members "really love their job." Mark Kolotovkin, a sales manager with a company that produces food additives in Russia, was also impressed by what the rally had shown him. "The Canadian dairy business is excellent," he said. John Devries, a member of the Canadian team that helped organize the rally, which began in Montreal on July 15 and ended in Niagara Falls on July 20, said the Russian visitors were noticing "everybody has a passion for what they're doing" in what is "a family-oriented business" in Canada. Farms in Russia are much bigger, with as many as 2,500 cows, he said, "but we can help in the management tools." By the end of their stay they will "really see the need for a lot of management improvement." John Crowley, who has judged Holsteins at national shows in 16 countries, has never visited Russia but he said its agriculture is "in dire straits. The farmers are very, very poor ... (and) way behind here. "They're here to learn." Crovalley, now a fifth generation farm, used to milk about 120 cows but that number has been reduced to around 85 since the $2.5 million state-ofthe-art barn opened in February 2017.

YMCA WILL REMAIN PUT l Continued from page 1
The vote was proceeded by two hours of comments by members of the public, with all but three of the 23 people who spoke voicing support for the YMCA's presence in the health services centre not being reduced to accommodate more physicians. Their number included Cal MacAusland, the head
of the Save Our YMCA committee, who said more than 1,800 people had signed a petition supporting its position. "The YMCA is very pleased with the outcome of tonight's meeting," said executive director Eunice Kirkpatrick. "We're excited to work with municipal staff moving forward and working out the details of the (new) lease." At Coun. Steven Baker's insistence, a second motion was passed to set up a committee that will look beyond the expan-
sion council had approved as a short-term fix. He recommended the group include representation from the YMCA and family health team as well as council, staff and members of the community. Its responsibility would include devising fundraising initiatives. Coun. Mary Tadman supported Baker's proposal. "When we work together we have so many better ideas about moving forward," she said. "I don't want to do something that
isn't going to, in the end, be a good product ... We need to open that up so that people can help us do the very best build." "There's no doubt that we find ourselves here because of a failure to plan," said Coun. Brian Ostrander who suggested Phase 2 in addressing the need for more space in the long term "be an expanded recreational facility elsewhere in the community ... (with) some form of aquatics." The space that would be vacated by the YMCA could then be used for doc-
tors, he said. Kirkpatrick was pleased with the second motion as well. "It allows us to plan on a short-term basis and long term," she said. "We will certainly collaborate with the municipality so it becomes a bit of a winwin for everybody." "We really appreciate the community support in balancing the health and wellness of the Y along with physician recruitment." "The end result is great," Walas said after the meeting.
There was "a lot of passion in the room ... that really got everybody's attention," with council coming together to vote unanimously for the centre's expansion. "So a job well done by our community," he said. But he also stressed "we're only halfway there" to finding a long-term answer, which the task force will do when it starts "visioning for a 20-year plan" to avoid another "crunch situation" in future. Walas defended continuing to give the YMCA half of the $60,000 it cur-
DEVELOPER COMPLAINS BRIGHTON HAS BEEN 'UNPROFESSIONAL' JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Usually it's citizens coming forward at a meeting or writing letters complaining about work being done by developers, but last week it was a builder who demanded answers from council. Jeff Mycek, president of 8597685 Canada Inc., made his feelings known at the end of Brighton's July 18 planning meeting, asking why reports showing work had been done to complete Phase 1 of his 86unit Applewood Meadows subdivision on Rundle Lane hadn't been included in the agenda. Mayor Mark Walas explained staff wasn't satisfied the company had met its obligation in full. Mycek responded staff hadn't reached out to his engineer for an update on the status of Phase 1 until after the agenda had been put together.
He also contended the resolution council passed at the June 11 meeting was "inaccurate" by not making clear it related to drainage work only. "I have confirmation from our engineer that all drainage work is complete from the developers' standpoint," he said. "We have satisfied that resolution." The municipality's planning consultant, Darryl Tighe, reported he had received an email from the developer's engineer saying "they anticipated all outstanding work in Phase 1 would be completed toward the end of July." Once it's done, "the proper process is that the municipality will send engineering staff out to inspect and they will bring forward a confirming letter." Coun. Steve Baker noted residents had communicated various concerns about the subdivision last
month and said he "would not support anything regarding this development" until those concerns had been addressed. Coun. John Martinello said their concerns had to do with storm water. "This is unprofessional to say the least, that there is a resolution passed and no staff member has done their job to follow up with," Mycek said. Staff and the municipal engineer say the work done thus far is "unsatisfactory or incomplete," Walas reiterated. "It is complete," Mycek insisted, but staff didn't reach out to him until after the agenda had been prepared. He also said the municipality's engineer told him on June 13 he didn't know why council members had "held up Phase 2" two days earlier when the engineer had confirmed the information provided "was satisfactory for our develop-
ment to move forward." Walas said a number of residents spoke up at the June meeting and "council erred on the side of caution." He couldn't explain why staff hadn't provided council in a timely manner the information the developer cited. Mycek noted another builder was moving for-
ward with his housing plans even though not all the required work had been done. "Where is the level playing field here?" he asked. Tighe said he would meet with Mycek and Walas said council would call a special meeting at a later date to address the points he raised.
"It's extremely unprofessional and somebody's got to be held accountable," Mycek said. Baker apologized as a member of council for the treatment Mycek had received, and Walas followed up with an apology as well. Martinello observed different developers are treated differently.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - A local businessperson has offered to install a living wall in the lobby of the municipal building. "Living walls are basically plantscapes," used in industrial settings, nursing homes and condos, Thomas
Conolly told council. "Being new to the community we'd like to make a bit of a statement" with a donation he said is worth about $80,000. The municipal building is currently being renovated to create a larger library. Conolly said a large section of the wall facing the en-
COMPANY FINED $100,000 AS RESULT OF TEEN WORKER BEING KILLED ON JOB Campbellford - Mintech Marketing Inc. has been fined $100,000 in connection with the death of a young worker at its plant last year. In a news release issued July 19, the Ministry of Labour said the fine was set by justice of the peace Jack Le Blanc in Cobourg court a day earlier after the company entered a guilty plea. The court also imposed a 25 per cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime. Bailey McDonald, 18, had worked just three months at the company that collects and resells post-production plastic and other waste prod-
ucts when he lost his life on Jan. 16, 2017. Without identifying him by name, the ministry said in its release that McDonald died after "a transport trailer fell while the worker was using a propane torch to melt and clear frozen ground around the trailer." It said the legs of the landing gear, which supports a transport trailer when it is not attached to a tractor unit, had been stuck in ice. The worker was left alone to complete the task and at some point moved from the driver side to the passenger side leg of the landing gear. "This placed the worker in a relatively narrow area between the trailer being worked on and another full trailer," the ministry said.
trance would be "solid plant life" and its effect would be more than just pleasing to the eye. "The difference in the air quality in the municipal building would be significant," Conolly said, and enzymes in the soil-based wall will "actually knock down bacteria during the cold and flu season." The wall would comprise about 3,500 individual pots, each connected to an irrigation line. The flow of water is controlled by a computer that can be accessed by phone. The wall would be
equipped to notify himself or municipal staff when it is dry. It includes a stainless steel drip tray in case "it leaks a little bit of water," Conolly said. Should that happen an alarm sounds that shuts off the water pipes. "It's pretty much foolproof," he said. "There's no risk associated with it." "Part of the donation is that we will service the wall for 10 years," he said. That would include keeping it trimmed. No pesticides would be used and the natural light
The trailer the worker was working on fell toward him when the legs that had been supported by the ice collapsed after being released from its hold. "The worker was fatally injured as a result of being pinned between the two trailers," the ministry said. "The trailer in question was not placed or stored so that it would not tip, collapse or fall, resulting in the accident," it stated. "This is an offence under section 45(b)(i) of the Industrial Establishments Regulation (Regulation 851) and section 25(1)(c) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act." Two other charges against Mintech - failing to ensure that equipment and materials provided by the employer were in good shape, and failing to "take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of the health and safety of a worker" - were withdrawn by the court, ministry spokesperson Janet Deline said. Also with-
drawn was a charge of failing to "take all reasonable care to ensure that the corporation complied" with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its regulations that had been laid against Mintech directors Dale McLelland and Wendy Coulombe. The ministry stated in its news release that "new and young workers in Ontario are more likely to be injured during the first few months on the job than other workers, and are three times more likely to be injured during their first month on the job than at any other time." Deline provided statistics compiled by the ministry that show that the number of workers killed at industrial work sites has ranged from 22 to 41 over the past decade, averaging 29 deaths per year. Seven industrial workers have been fatally injured the first seven months of this year.

"I believe strongly in this municipality ... that's why I chose to raise my family here," said Conolly, a partner in Cinder Girls Garden Center Sanctuary. The living wall "is my gift to you." Mayor Mark Walas said "it's a very generous donation to the municipality" but said the issue of liability would have to be settled before council could agree to accept it. Conolly explained "the plants can't fall off the wall, they're all anchored." The wall will be foliage
unless there is a special event that calls for the temporary use of flowering plants. "You can customize it to whatever you want," he said. Conolly explained the 10year contract outlines plant and wall replacement, parts and labour, "all the costs associated with the wall," Conolly said. The line for the monthly rate "would be a zero." He added provision could be made for removal of the wall at no charge after 10 years if the municipality didn't want to continue with it. Coun. Brian Ostrander said the library board supports the concept. Council voted to direct staff to bring back a report on the proposal to its meeting in August.

OPINION EDITORIAL
DEADLINE LOOMS FRIDAY TO GET NAME ON ELECTION BALLOT Time is running out for candidates looking to be on the ballot in this fall's municipal and school board elections. In fact, the deadline is this Friday, July 27 at 2 p.m., which has been shortened by 120 days from the previous campaign period. In past elections, candidates had from Jan. 1 to the second Friday in September. This year that's been trimmed considerably with the nomination period having only started May 1 and ending tomorrow. These changes, along with a requirement for each candidate to collect 25 signatures from residents in municipalities with a population of more than 4,000 before filing their papers, were made in 2018 in an effort for the election process to be more transparent. Since the campaign period began earlier this spring, our local municipalities have seen quite a few candidates file their papers to run for their respective councils, including many newcomers. It's always encouraging to see new faces make the decision to sit on council and school boards and affect change at the local level. We need that mix of experience and new faces to infuse fresh ideas and a creative outlook on how to solve problems. Often it can be a thankless job with long hours, low pay and much criticism, but it can also be enriching. Having a say in writing your municipality's history is rewarding and making tough decisions on the future growth and development of an area isn't something to be taken lightly. It isn't always about cutting the ribbon at business openings or presenting awards, but determining whether things such as infrastructure improvements, the revitalization of a downtown core or evenpesticide spraying on roadways are the right fit for a community. It's not an easy task; we know because we see those representatives debating around the table each week while covering council sessions. We witness the spirited, sometimes heated discussions as council members try to come to a consensus on a contentious issue. Some councils tend to work better as a team than others, though ultimately they all work for the betterment of the community in which they live, work and play. We will always need people to step up and take on these roles and applaud all of those who continue to serve their communities, both past and present. Municipal elections have always been an exciting time for our newspapers and we look forward to profiling the candidates in each of our areas to provide readers with some food for thought as they prepare to head to the polls Oct. 22.

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR COUNCIL - YOU READ THAT RIGHT DECISION TO EXPAND CENTRE WELCOME NEWS FOR YMCA, JOHN CAMPBELL WRITES Congratulations, Brighton council, you resolved in record fashion an issue that, had it been allowed to simmer, would have divided the community and caused lasting harm. The answer arrived at — expand the health services centre so the YMCA's space won't have to be reduced to make room for more doctors in the building — was a sound one, which both sides could be happy with. Not that it was ever framed as an issue of us versus them, as supporters of the YMCA made clear in defending its interests at a special meeting. But it was a situation council risked creating if it hadn't acted swiftly to re-
JOHN CAMPBELL Column
solve the problem. Fortunately a deadline loomed — the expiry of a lease agreement with the YMCA at the end of October — that required the matter be dealt with expeditiously. In choosing to go ahead with a fix that addresses the immediate needs of the family health team — and, by extension, the community it serves — council also laid the groundwork for a solution to be found that works best for the YMCA in the long term. Charged with that responsibility is a task force that will be made up of elected officials, municipal staff, representatives from the YMCA and the family health team, and residents. The latter, by their passion, experience and in-
sights as evidenced at the July 19 meeting, have much to offer and they deserve applause as well in helping council make its decision. Many who offered comment spoke fervently of the important role the YMCA plays in their lives. More than a wellness centre for improving the mind, body and spirit of young and old, it's a place where people can gather and talk about themselves and what's happening in the community. As many mentioned, it's also a draw for people considering moving to Brighton and a generator of economic activity. Council's unanimous decision was a refreshing change from the foot-dragging that took place, for a variety of reasons, in resolving the sewage treatment system and railway crossing controversies. John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

FORMER MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE SAYS SUPPLY MANAGEMENT IS FAIR TO CONSUMERS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Hastings - U.S President Donald Trump has targeted Canada's supply management in his bid to rewrite NAFTA but the system is well worth protecting, says Ontario's former minister of agriculture, food and rural affairs, Jeff Leal. In an interview at Crovalley Holsteins, before a group of Russian farmers stopped in for a tour of its operations, Leal said he was "a very strong supporter" of supply management during his fourplus years as minister. He represented the province during three rounds of NAFTA negotiations and defended Canada's unique system, which enables dairy farmers to act collectively in negotiating the price of milk with processors and adjusting production to meet consumer demand. It sets "a very fair price" for milk for consumers, ensures dairy farmers earn a fair return
on their investment, "and at the end of the day it doesn't cost governments any money in terms of support," he said. Paying $4.27 for three bags of milk is "pretty good value," Leal said, contrary to what critics of supply management argue. He said Australia abandoned supply management and its dairy industry is "under great stress right now," which has forced the federal government to step in and prop it up with money. He also noted Wisconsin, "the heart of the American dairy industry, would like to see a supply managed framework" introduced in America "to bring some order to the chaos that they're experiencing down there," which has resulted in massive overproduction. The Dairy Farmers of Canada states on its website that "While farmers around the world face unexpected and inexplicable wild market fluctuations, Canadian farmers sell their milk at constant and stable prices."
"As a result, Canadian dairy farming is one of the few agricultural sectors that are self-sufficient - providing income security for farmers and requiring no government subsidy. This means Canadian farmers can invest in their farms, communities and Canada." John Crowley, of Crovalley Holsteins, said without supply management consumers would pay more for milk because "the processing plants would just put it right to them." Dairy farmers "keep control of that. We make sure they don't over-price the market." "We're cheaper than Coke ... (and) we're half the price of bottled water," Crowley said. "Consumers are not paying too much for milk here compared to the rest of the world and what they pay." He said one of the states in the U.S. is "trying to come up with some kind of system in the next two years to be able to control the supply of milk." But American farms that milk
John Campbell/Metroland Dairy farmer John Crowley says if U.S. President Donald Trump gets his way with NAFTA, "it would cause distress." as many as 25,000 cows "don't want it," he added. "They're factories." Crovalley, a fifth generation family farm that Crowley and his two sons, Justin and Ryan, operate together, milks fewer than 100 cows and produces 1.2 million litres of milk per year. Its quota is 140 kilos. "We can't ship any more than
that ... and we're trying to buy more every month," he said. "We want to get to 180." The Crowley family invested $2.5 million in a new barn equipped with the latest in robotics. If Trump gets his way and does harm to Canada's supply management system, "it would cause distress," Crowley admitted.

HOSPITAL FOUNDATION RECAPS YEAR SYNTHETIC DRUG 'FLAKKA' SUSPECTED AND MOVES FORWARD TO 2019 TO BE IN NORTHUMBERLAND ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com
NORTHUMBERLAND - The OPP are warning the public about a new synthetic street drug called 'flakka' that is suspected to be circulating in Northumberland County. The drug is being sold on the streets as Xanax. It is also known as Mephedrone and having an odour similar to that of cat urine. Flakka is a designer drug that can be snorted, smoked, injected or swallowed, police said, adding that it has been found in both powder and rock forms and can vary in colour. It may also be combined with other, softer drugs
such as marijuana. Symptoms of ingestion of flakka are often delayed, occurring up to 1824 hours after ingestion and include extreme agitation, hallucinations, dystonia (muscles contract uncontrollably), psychosis, hyperactivity, delirium, bizarre behaviour, and extreme strength. The side effects of this drug include but are not limited to acute kidney injury, heart failure and even death. Anyone who encounters a person who appears to be in a state of overdose should exercise extreme caution and immediately call 911.
The board of directors of the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation announced that they met and exceeded their fundraising goal for the fiscal year end of 2018, granting more than $1.8 million to Quinte Health Care for equipment purchases for the hospital in Trenton. Trenton Memorial Hospital provides primary and some secondary care to residents in Quinte West and Brighton. It houses 26 beds and a range of clinical and diagnostic services, including: Cardiology, clinical nutrition (registered dietitians), diabetes education and management, emergency services (24 hours a day, every day), health records, laboratory, medical service, nursing home ready unit, outpatient clinics, pharmacy,
psychiatry/mental health crisis clinic, radiology/diagnostic services, surgical service and symptom management/palliative care. The Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF) grant included $975,000 for a new orthopedic surgical suite and lasers for their ophthalmology department, $296,000 replacing old equipment, $437,000 replacing nonmedical items (for example new beds), $94,000 for a new cart washer, $70,000 for new equipment for the new orthopedic surgeon and $18,000 for continuing education for medical personal and contingency equipment. "We also approached the City of Quinte West to help us fund the cost of hiring a physician recruitment co-ordinator and without hesitation they agreed," said Phil Wild, TMHF chair. "We hired
Paula Mason, a fifth generation Trentonian to lead this program and we are seeing results, we appreciate the support from the City of Quinte West for their dedication and support to the hospital and foundation of all our initiatives." Moving into the new fiscal year, the board is changing its leadership and membership. Phil Wild will become the foundation's past chair and Darrel Smith will become the new chair. Two board members will be leaving the board as they have completed their nine-year terms; John Smylie and Dan Koets. "John and Dan will be greatly missed, in fact we are hoping that they will remain volunteering with us in various other capacities, their dedication and commitment are sure to be missed," said Wendy Warn-
er, executive director of TMHF. Replacing them will be Aleesha Camp and Dr. Ashley Mimuk. Camp, a local lawyer with offices in Quinte West and Brighton, has been involved with TMHF for many years as a volunteer counsel and member if the gala committee. Mimuk joined the Quinte West / Brighton Family Health Team three years ago and carries a family practice and works as hospitalist at TMH in the impatient unit. "We are extremely fortunate that Aleesha and Ashley accepted our offers to join our board of directors. They bring valuable skills to the table that will help our board make the best decisions for our foundation in support of our hospital," Warner added. The new board has begun the campaign to raise $1.3 million this year to pay for and install a new CT scan machine. More than 6,000 scans were done at TMH and the new machine would provide sharper images and will cut down on wait times.

Trent Hills - The municipality is replacing its 11 community entrance signs. The ones that greet visitors now, made of wood and installed in 2001, need to be replaced because of their age and deterioration. They're "sad, tired," community recreation director Peter Burnett told council. "I'll be happy when we get uniform signs that show people that ... we're not sad and tired." The new aluminum signs are more durable and will have "a cohesive design that aligns with" the municipality's logo and brand colours, community development officer Kira Mees said in a report to council. Measuring eight-byfour feet at the entrances to the three urban centres and five-by-three feet in the hamlets, they will require less maintenance by municipal staff and community volunteers. They will also "create a sense of pride and welcoming at the gateway to Trent Hills communities." A local company, BMR Ltd., will manufacture the signs which will be coated to protect against graffiti. Those in Campbellford and Hastings will be changed this year, while the ones in the hamlets will be switched over the beginning next spring. The Warkworth Business Association recently updated the village's signs so they will be replaced at a later date. Staff had recommended an upset limit of $20,775 on the cost of the project, but council requested more information about the landscaping that is to be done before settling on a figure.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - Susan Fedorka is so smitten with Trent Hills that she wants to be its mayor. "I believe I can lead the community" and "make a positive change," she said. "What people are talking to me about, what I'm hearing, is they want a fresh set of eyes, they want a fresh voice." Fedorka certainly offers that. She and her husband Joe moved to Trent Hills less than three years ago from Uxbridge. "This is where we were
meant to be," she said. They've lived in different places, different provinces "but this a good landing spot for us. We're very happy here." What drew them to Trent Hills was "the view, the land ... It's stunning." The countryside is "breathtaking and it's peaceful, and it's the right place to be at this time in our lives," she said. "It's just perfect." She faces a tough challenge in her bid to unseat Mayor Bob Crate. The longtime member of council was appointed its head last fall following the
death of his predecessor, Hector Macmillan. Crate is also the president of the Royal Canadian Legion branch in Hastings. "This isn't a fly-by-night decision," Fedorka said of her decision to run. It was made after having immersed herself in the community. She's chair of the Campbellford/Seymour revitalization committee and a member of the hospital auxiliary. She has also been involved in the Trent-Severn Waterway Trail program and was a volunteer at Art in the Park in Warkworth. And she has been sitting
RECYCLING, GREEN BIN PROGRAMS START 2019 NORTHUMBERLAND - The county is gearing up to rollout its dual-stream recycling and green bin programs for September 2019. In a release dated July 10 Northumberland County stated that to achieve its long-term goal of 75 per
cent waste diversion from the local landfill, county council has approved updates to residential waste collection services. "The contents of the average household garbage bag are 60 per cent organic waste," said Mo Pannu, county director of trans-
portation and waste. These approved updates include the introduction of the weekly green bin organics collection program and the transition to the dualstream recycling program, which will replace the current one-stream program. "With the introduction
in on council meetings for more than a year. Fedorka worked as a paralegal for more than 15 years in Montreal. She also taught business and customer service at Centennial College in Toronto. "I'm very good at bringing people together, that's what everyone says to me," she said. "I listen extremely well." Fedorka has tapped into what the community is thinking. "When you're from away, people tell you things," she said. "I'm very much on top of what's happening." What she's learned is
that there are those whose "voices aren't being heard." Council will "really have to look" at what it's spending money on over the next four years, she said. "Trent Hills is basically a retirement community with pockets of young families," and the common refrain she hears from residents is that taxes are "too high," especially for seniors who are living on fixed incomes. Fedorka said Trent Hills must strike a balance between revitalizing its communities and setting taxes. "I want to build on what has been given us," she said.
"I'm not interested in tearing down old buildings. I want to keep what we have. "This is an amazing community. We have so much to be grateful for." Fedorka, who just turned 63, said she's "energized by the positive people" she's met and their "positive stories ... This is a good place to be and I want people to feel that." She ran for office once before, in 2010 while living in Uxbridge. "I would like people to give me a chance," she said. "Hear what I have to say. Ask me questions. I will be honest and open and transparent with everything I have to say ... I have nothing to hide."
of this green bin program and a corresponding change in the weekly garbage collection limit to two bags per household, we anticipate diverting a minimum of 3,000 tonnes of waste annually from our landfill, ultimately expanding its lifespan," said Pannu. The transition to the dual-stream recycling pro-
gram will allow for the separation of paper materials from household containers, the county reports. Such changes will mean residents will need to sort their recyclables, placing household containers, including plastic bottles, cans and cartons in a blue bin and then paper materials in a grey bin. The county says the sep-
aration of products at the collection stage minimizes contamination, allowing for more efficient sorting and the production of higher quality recyclable materials for resale. Once implemented in September 2019, these programs will continue with the regular garbage and recycling collection schedule.

BRIGHTON'S OWN: PERSONIFICATION OF LOVE SANDRA BROWN HAS MUCH LOVE TO GIVE, COLUMNIST VIC SCHUKOV WRITES VIC SCHUKOV Column
Sandra McPhee Brown was born in the small mining town of Garson, near Sudbury. Being the eldest girl of ten children automatically made her the second mother in the house: "There was almost 13 years between me and the youngest. The kids could not say 'Sandra.' They called me 'Nana.'" Brown met her husband Wayne through a blind date (reluctantly): "Wayne was taking geology in college in Sault Ste. Marie. Coming to visit his aunt in nearby Capreol, he didn't know he had a date. He rolled in by bus, and I was in my friend's car (trying to get away). We went out for three years while he worked in Gowganda some 200 miles away. For a year-and-a-half, he hitchhiked to Garson every weekend. Sometimes, he only got as far as 50 miles out and my brother would go pick him up because we felt so bad. Then Wayne would hitchhike back. After we got mar-
ried, we lived for a year in the bush in Gowganda with wooden sidewalks." Pregnant with their first child, Brown returned to her parents while Wayne worked in northern Quebec. "He soon decided to get work closer when he came home one day and swears that the baby called him by a different name. He said, 'The baby thinks I'm his uncle (Laughing)." Wayne started work as a technician at Cambrian College in Sudbury while Sandra resumed her role as both a new mother and still Nana to her younger siblings, and pregnant again! The Browns then lived in Elliot Lake for ten years and Sandra attended courses in early childhood education at Sault College campus. In 1994, they bought a home in New Sudbury where Brown opened a daycare: "I had so much love to impart to these beautiful, innocent children. In daycare, you are always in the moment with children. My way of teaching was called incidental learning. For outings around the neighbourhood,
Vic Schukov/Metroland Sandra Brown shown here at home. I had a rope with knots and the neighbours would call me Mother Duck with her ducklings. I incorporated the whole neighbourhood into my daycare. The biggest thing people miss since I left was hearing me scream, "Red light!" And I adopted a senior couple across the street. She became Grandma Mary to the kids and brought over homemade soup. The parents decorated chairs and tables and we celebrated birthdays and had parades. We were a big family called Auntie Sandra's Special Treasures." After her parents died, Brown put the house up for sale to move to Brighton where her youngest daughter and grandchildren now resided. "The neighbours threatened to stand in front of the realtor's sign so nobody could buy my house. One

evening, my best friend invited me out for supper and, while returning home onto my street, I saw ten houses on either side full of balloons. I started to cry. A crowd blocked my driveway. Everyone on the street was invited next door where they had gifts and a cake. The greatest gift was a framed picture of the street sign with everyone's signatures." Four years ago, Wayne and Sandra moved to Brighton. "We love Brighton. I have reinvented myself, never been happier in my life. I am able to give and do and be."

OPP MEDIA RELATIONS OFFICER RETIRES JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Northumberland County - There's been a passing of the baton at Northumberland OPP - and with it the keyboard and list of media contacts. Const. Steve Bates' last day on the job was June 29 the same number of years he served as a police officer, the last three-and-ahalf as the person responsible for handling media relations in the area for the OPP. "I loved it, absolutely loved it," he said of his most recent role, which included being part of the community mobilization unit. "Dealing with the media and the community members has been a highlight of my career." Bates started out in 1989 with Durham regional police, joined Quinte West's police when the municipality was created in 1998, and ended up with the OPP when Quinte West gave it the contract for policing in 2004. He became a member of Northumberland OPP in 2009. The community mobilization unit was formed little more than three years ago so that the police and different agencies could work together to help people in crisis. "I found that the most rewarding part of my career," he said. Before the unit's existence, people in crisis would call 911 "but we're not the answer in a lot of these cases, whether it's a mental health issue or a parenting issue," Bates said. "There are services in the community that we connect them with to help them with their crisis and get them on their way (to the) right door." Bates said "it really has been working well" and making a "huge difference" in people's lives. "People we leave after solving a situation temporarily now have somewhere to turn to afterwards rather than be left to

Agencies follow up with them and get them into programs that can help them, including counselling for issues such as addiction. "We find that we don't get those calls anymore to the police," Bates said, which frees up officers to respond to "more police-related calls." Const. Kimberly Johnston said it was the community mobilization unit's work that led her to apply for the job to replace Steve Bates. "What they do is so inspiring," she said. Johnston, 47, has been with the OPP for eight years, working out of the detachment's Brighton office.
She expects to encounter a few "curves in the road" moving into a new position. "Steve has set the bar pretty high and I am going to do my very best to reach that bar," Johnston said. Having him around to help her make the transition during his last few weeks on the job was "crucial," she said. "His tutorial is priceless ... His knowledge and experience - anyone can benefit from that." "He's absolutely an amazing person. He's going to be missed very much so." His duties included writing daily and weekly news releases as well as those that dealt with urgent situations, such as collisions on roads or scams making the rounds. "It's important that we as police keep our communities well-informed of what we're doing, even if it's just a minor call, so that they understand the variety of calls that we go to," Bates said. It also "makes people more aware of what's going on in their community, (which) makes it a safer community," Bates added. "Knowledge is power they say." He "thoroughly enjoyed" the half-hour show he did once a week on CKOL, the community radio station based in Campbellford. "It was fun to do (and) informative for people ... It's all about preventing victims out there." Bates has "lots of plans" for his retirement and expects to keep busy. "I'll be doing a lot of travelling (as) I have for the past two years," he said.

ENBRIDGE DONATIONS HELP FIRE DEPARTMENTS TRAIN VOLUNTEERS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - Fire departments in Trent Hills and Brighton are among 20 in the province receiving a $5,000 grant from Enbridge Gas Distribution to help with their firefighter training. The donation is in support of Project Assist, "an educational initiative that helps fire departments in the communities we serve, to purchase educational materials that will enhance life-saving firefighting techniques," Don Armitage said on behalf of Enbridge in announcing the grant at council's July 3 meeting. "As part of our efforts to promote natural gas safety, we are also committed to supporting the people that keep our communities safe," he said. "We provide first responders, including firefighters, with funding
for everything from equipment to training." "This gives the men and women who protect us the support they need to ensure that the community is safe, now and into the future." Enbridge has contributed $700,000 to Project Assist since its launch in 2012. Joe Casey, a program specialist with the Office of the Fire Marshal, said "regular training is an important part of being prepared for any hazardous situation, and Project Assist contributes to overall firefighter health and safety by improving access to training materials." The role of the fire mar-

shal's public fire safety council "is to develop partnerships between members of the fire safety community and the general public," he said. "Project Assist is a strong example of these partnerships at work." Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake welcomed the donation, noting volunteer fire departments across Ontario "were thrown a real curve ball" by the provincial government, which proposed new regulations for the mandatory certification and training of firefighters. The money will help with in-house training, Blake said.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Campbellford - The fourth annual Incredible Doctors' Cook-Off "was a tremendous success," says John Russell, executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation. The event, held last Friday night, was sold out with 160 guests in attendance. The funds raised will go toward the foundation's Bedside Care Campaign. A final tally had not been made yet when contacted on Monday "but it's
safe to say it's likely over $20,000," Russell said in an email. Support for the live and silent auctions, raffle and sponsorship "were all up this year," he stated. "We can't thank the community enough for its support of this great event and the hospital." Russell gave special thanks to Pete and Donna Archer of Maizeing Acres for their continued signature sponsorship and the Incredible Edibles committee for their partnership and support. Each of the eight teams of physicians and their cu-
linary partners received an award: Fan Favourite - Dr. Jeffy Parsons-Sheldrake and Ben Lehman; Last Meal Prior to Surgery - Dr. Neil Pritchard and Adam Low; Most Innovative - Dr. Daniel Sheps and Ron Csenar; Best International Flair - Dr. Andrea Bull and Shanna Layton; Judges Choice - Dr. Gerald Dykstra and Justine Viske; Best Presentation - Dr. Jamie Read and Tina Moorey; Sponsors Choice - med student Liam Portt and Ian Thompson, and; Best Use of Local Produce - Dr. Michael Norman and Simone Portelli.

goal of $150,000," D'OnofrioJones said. The money will be used to purchase furnishings and equipment, such as shelving and seating, for the expanded library space. Although a fundraising committee wasn't formed until January, it all started with a donation of $30,000 from the Rotary Club of Brighton a few years ago when the library began making plans for its expansion. The library has also received $50,000 from the John M. and Bernice Parrott Foundation Inc. in Belleville. "That was really a fantastic boost," D'OnofrioJones said. "Between those two it was a good start." The library got another boost last week when it was presented with a cheque for $500 from the CommunityYork Road branch of the Women's Institute. "We've had great support from the community," D'Onofrio-Jones said. "We're thankful for that."

Brighton - As work continues on renovating and expanding Brighton Public Library (BPL), a date for its reopening has yet to be set but it will happen sometime this summer, says chief executive officer Mellissa D'Onofrio-Jones. "We can see lots of progress," she said. "The windows at the front look fantastic and will bring a lot of light into, hopefully, the upper level municipal offices as well as into the library." After the project is completed, "it's going to look so fresh and new and clean" it will be the first thing people notice when they enter the library, D'OnofrioJones said. "We're getting 6,800 square feet in the expanded space and we had just over 3,000 in the old library." BPL will take over the entire main floor of the municipal building but it will share a lobby in the middle with the municipality. Each will have a service
desk on opposite sides, "so that will be a bit different," D'Onofrio-Jones said. Library users will also discover "a little bit more breathing room for the collection, shelves (won't be) so crowded." "The new space offers exactly what the community asked us (during) the consultation process," D'Onofrio-Jones said. "They asked for more seating space, more space to work on their own devices, laptops or tablets, etc. So they will definitely ... see an improvement in both shared work space and individual work spaces." D'Onofrio-Jones said she and her staff "are really looking forward to getting out" of their temporary location across the street, "although it's serving the public well." A painting fundraiser was held recently at the King Edward Park Community Centre that drew 11 participants and raised $220. "We are at almost $95,000 in funds raised toward the

CAMPBELLFORD TEEN CHOSEN FOR RUGBY BRIGHTON RETIREE HOPEFUL VERSATILE ONTARIO JUNIOR GIRL'S RUGBY TEAM COOKER WILL END UP IN MARKETPLACE JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
northumberlandnews.com
Campbellford - Madelaine "Maddy" Moodie has been named to Rugby Ontario's U18 Blues team, which will take part in an intraprovincial competition at the University of Guelph later this month and go on a tour of Ireland in August. "At first I was kind of surprised," she said, but five minutes later she had "a big celebration moment ... Whoa, I actually made it." Moodie, who will begin Grade 12 in the fall, started playing rugby her first year at Campbellford District High School (CDHS). "All my friends played it," she said, and the fact that it's a contact sport made her think it was "something I would like a lot." It turned out she was really good at it, being chosen the team's MVP her first two seasons while helping the Flames win the AA/A gold medal in Grade 9. Moodie, 17, is in her third year as a member of the Peterborough Pagans U17 team, where she plays fullback and wing, the same as she does at CDHS. Last season the school wasn't able to field a full team so it played sevens and went undefeated in tournament play. "Maddy has been an out-

"She has worked tirelessly to improve her skills and fitness level. We're happy and excited that she's being recognized by the Ontario Rugby select team." To gain a spot on the Blues roster, the Campbellford teenager attended four tryouts in May and June. She was encouraged to try out by her coaches and her parents, John Moodie and Julie McCleery. "I'm very glad I did,"
Moodie said. "The first practice was passing, the second was kicking and tackling, and the third was a mix of both, and then scrimmages." Moodie said she's "really excited" she will playing games in Ireland during the team's 10-day tour. "The cost is pricey for anybody who's doing this level of rugby" - about $3,500, she said. "We just raise as much as we can to cover the cost." To learn more about the junior Blues budget and fundraising opportunities, visit www.rugbyontario.com/jr-blues-u18-women/#tab-id-1.
Brighton - With an American patent now in hand, Robert Thorndyke is confident he'll be able to strike a deal with a brand name barbecue maker to mass produce his portable combination cooking-grilling-cooling-warming-storage unit. Or as he calls it, the Thorndyke Cartaway Cooker. "I'm sure ... in the next few months, I'll have somebody on board," he said. Under the licensing agreement Thorndyke hopes to secure, a manufacturer will turn his prototype into a product ready for the marketplace and pay him a percentage of the price charged for each unit sold. He estimated its retail price could be in the $375$400 range, but with the number of functions it has to offer, "it might be more than that," he acknowledged. The cooker's many features include a rotisserie, multiple grilling trays and windbreaks, as well as a cart to haul the unit which weighs close to 40 pounds. "I can put three Cornish hens on each spit," and with two spits, that's six he

Thorndyke said the oven can also be converted into an ice box by removing the burners and placing ice cubes on a pan inside. Thorndyke thought he'd have a licensing agreement in place by now, but getting his cooker patented in the United States proved a lot more difficult than obtaining a Canadian patent. "It took them a year and a half," he said, even though he was told when he applied that because of his age - he's 90 - he'd get "speedy service." The Canadian patent took just three months. The cooker he's invented is so versatile it has "no
competitors in both Canada and the United States," Thorndyke said. "That's a pretty good feeling." He's excited by the possibility his cooker will finally make it to market, after having spent $40,000 to reach this stage, "but there's a lot of work" still to be done to make it happen. "But I'm willing to do that," he said. Thorndyke said he has nine patents; they include lifting devices he developed for use in the family trucking business he founded. "I let my brain work all the time and don't worry about other things around me," he said. "All my ideas come to me 3:30, 4 o'clock in the morning."

FORMER COUNCILLOR LOOKS TO RETURN TO BRIGHTON COUNCIL - AS DEPUTY MAYOR JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
John Campbell/Metroland Tom Rittwage says being away from municipal politics taught him "many lessons" that will make him a better member of council. who historically chairs the budget process and represents the municipality in the mayor's absence. Previously the deputy mayor was appointed from
within the ranks of council. Rittwage, who served as deputy mayor for one of the four years he was on council, said he has "a bet-
ter temperament" for the role now. He also has the "organizational skills and the understanding of how to chair a meeting and be fair
to members of the public and members of council, and would like to bring that leadership set of skills ... to the table." Rittwage is a correctional manager at Warkworth Institution, where he began work in 2004. He also served as former MP Rick Norlock's executive assistant for four years. Rittwage said people might note that, in the four years he's been out of municipal politics, "things haven't changed, there's still the arguing and the bickering ... It hasn't stopped since I left." "That's not the way I want to operate. People can learn from their errors," he said. "I think I have." "Nobody has a monopoly on how much they love our community ... I want it to continue to be a great place to live, and I want to work with people who want the same thing."

Brighton -- Tom Rittwage wants a "second opportunity" to represent the residents of Brighton on council. He did for one term and was denied a second when he was defeated at the polls in 2014. Since then he has reflected on his time as councillor and the "many lessons" he has learned will make him a better member of council, he said Monday in a news release announcing his bid to become deputy mayor. "Municipal politics is or should be non-partisan," with elected officials working together "to help build a better community with and for its citizens." Rittwage said in an interview he doesn't like the memories he has of his one term on council. "I want to try to undo
some of those perceptions ... in how we as a council operated," he said. "There was a lot of division," with too many "competing interests." Even though "we got a lot of stuff done," discord on council is never good because, in a small municipality, "it's really about seven people connecting in doing the job for the community." Rittwage, who's 47, said he's a wiser candidate now. "Nobody likes to lose, nobody wants to lose, but sometimes losing is the best thing that can happen to you," he said. Rittwage said he would be "more respectful" to his colleagues on council and "do more to engage people" in the community by going out and talking to them. This is the first time residents will be able to vote for deputy mayor,
