JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Old Wooler Road is taking a beating and the safety of pedestrians is being put at risk by heavy trucks using the road. Robert Sirluck raised the issue at council Sept. 4, claiming truck traffic on Old Wooler has increased by about 400 per cent the last five years. He said it was his understanding that County Road 41, the next road south, "was built as a truck route but (it) seems to get very little use" for that purpose. Sirluck, who lives on Old Wooler, said the road "is getting beaten up very badly" by the trucks, which are also "very noisy" as they rumble past his home. "Sometimes we're getting 100 trips a day back and forth from trucks, and it becomes quite a disturbing sign when you see
people out walking ... diving into the ditches to get away from the trucks," he said. "A lot of trucks don't obey the (60 km/h) speed limit going through." Sirluck said he's not alone in how he feels, "a lot of other residents of Old Wooler Road are quite upset by it," and he noted several of them were in the gallery to show their support. "We'd like to ask for a nothrough truck zone between County Road 30 and Grosjean Road," he said. There's been a large influx of young families with children taking up residence on Old Wooler, "and it's getting dangerous." Council needs to take action "before something happens." Mayor Mark Walas said he and council were not aware of the situation but he had caught a glimpse of what it's like earlier in the day while helping his grandchildren onto the school bus on Old Wooler. He said staff would look into the matter and talk to CBM See TRUCK, page 2

TRUCK TRAFFIC ADDS TO ROAD'S DETERIORATION, RESIDENT SAYS Continued from page 1
which has a pit near Codrington that generates a lot of truck traffic. Sirluck said the company "has been pretty cooperative, they do their best to try to keep the truck traffic off Old Wooler Road but there's only so much they can do." "It's not really their situation to have to police the road," he said. "I don't blame them." Walas replied staff will consider what measures they can bring before council "to keep the trucks off Old Wooler
Road and move them down to 41." Sirluck said in an interview that truck traffic on Old Wooler began to increase long before the pit opened. The tar-and-chip road "doesn't stand up very well" to the heavy usage, which he estimated could amount to roughly 350,000 truck trips in 2018. The trucks include independent haulers transporting aggregate, semitrailers, and a 48-foot milk truck twice a day even though there's no operating dairy farm on the road.
THE ISSUE: DETERIORATING CONDITIONS ON OLD WOOLER ROAD LOCAL IMPACT: OVERUSE BY TRUCKS PUTTING PEDESTRIANS AT RISK
"It's a short cut," Sirluck said, and "the worst part of the road happens to be in front of my house." It's torn up and "washboardy because it's been patched so many times." Sirluck said the residents "had a deal with CBM that they would refrain from using this road and to CBM's credit they have." He wants a ban on any trucks three tonnes and over. Combined with the weight of the loads they're
carrying, "it's too much." The problem is aggravated by truckers speeding. "They're just hell-bent to get that next load," he said.
STORY BEHIND THE STORY:
After listening to a presentation at council by Robert Sirluck, reporter John Campbell went out to speak with the resident and view the conditions of the road for himself.
BRIGHTON POLICE SERVICES BOARD CHAIR RESIGNS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Derek Jeffreys has resigned from the Brighton Police Services Board. Jeffreys, the board's chair, submitted his resignation to Mayor Mark Walas in a letter dated Sept. 1. His resignation takes effect today, Sept. 10. No explanation was provided for the resignation. Jeffreys was appointed, by council, to the board as a community member in December 2014. "During my term, I have found the work both challenging and rewarding and have valued greatly the input and support of my colleagues on our board as well as that of other individuals on the various groups
and committees that represent the police service community in Northumberland County," he wrote. Jeffreys said he was grateful for having been given the opportunity to serve the people of Brighton on the board for nearly four years and he offered its members his "very best for their continued success" as they proceed with key initiatives. These include the implementation of an updated Police Services Act and the amalgamation of police service boards across the Northumberland OPP detachment area. He also thanked council and staff members for their support and the confidence they have expressed in the board's work over the years, it was "much appreciated."

complaints. A form has been developed for the lodging of complaints. It includes an acknowledgement by the complainant that he or she could be required to testify in court. Only bylaw infractions that directly affect the complainant will be investigated. Coun. Steve Baker asked about enforcement of bylaws after hours. Magee responded he has "modified" his shift to work at night if he has received several complaints about an issue, such as illegal parking or excessive noise. Manager of capital infrastructure Lucas Kelly said residents can call the public works department's emergency number after office hours (613-967-8707) to report a bylaw issue and the message will be passed on to Magee.
BRIGHTON ADOPTS POLICY FOR HANDLING ARMED MEN ROB BRIGHTON PHARMACY, OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT BYLAW INFRACTIONS FLEE WITH DRUGS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Ontario Provincial Police continue their search for two suspects involved in a daytime robbery of a downtown pharmacy Monday afternoon, Sept. 10. Officers from Northumberland detachment responded to a report of a robbery in progress at the Rexall PharmaPlus located at 1 Main St. in Brighton. Investigators determined two armed male suspects entered the rear of the store shortly after 2 p.m. Sept. 10 and approached the pharmacy counter demanding drugs. The suspects then exited through the same rear door with the stolen drugs. The two male suspects were described as Caucasian, with one being be-
tween 50 and 55 years old, approximately 5 foot 8 inches tall, wearing black cargo pants, black shirt and brown work shoes. The second male was described as being in his early thirties; more than six feet tall, with a thin build. Both suspects were wearing handkerchiefs over their lower face and reportedly carrying black handguns. Northumberland OPP is asking that anyone with information regarding this crime to call the Brighton OPP detachment at 613-4751313 or toll free 1-888-3101122. To remain anonymous, you may call the Peterborough/Northumberland Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS) where you could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 and not have to appear in court.
Brighton - The municipality now has a policy that sets guidelines for enforcing bylaws in a "fair and consistent" manner. The policy, adopted by council at its Sept. 4 meeting, "will help evaluate the effectiveness of a response to a particular complaint," bylaw enforcement officer Allen Magee explained in a staff report. It provides "transparency, consistency, evidencebased decision-making and a commitment to fairness," he stated. The need for such a policy was identified last October in a delegation to the municipality's bylaw review advisory committee.
Brighton - An inmate at Warkworth Institution has died "of apparent natural causes," Correctional Service Canada has reported. At the time of his death, Sept. 4, John Manuel Santos, 61, had been serving an indeterminate sentence for robbery, sexual assault and ut-
tering a threat to cause death/ harm since Sept. 2, 1994. The inmate's next of kin have been notified of his death. "As in all cases involving the death of an inmate, Correctional Service Canada will review the circumstances and contact the police and the coroner if required," the federal agency said in a new release.
is also intended to maintain community standards, and manage "behavioural and nuisance issues to promote a harmonious living environment." All complaints must be responded to within two business days and complainants can request updates on their status. It will be left to senior staff to decide whether it is in Brighton's "best interest to pursue the matter" when the municipality "receives frivolous, repeat or multiple complaints." In such circumstances the chief administrative officer can decide to restrict a person from making further

It sets "written standards and expectations of conduct" for the bylaw enforcement officer in dealing with the public, and it informs residents how to submit a complaint and what follows afterwards. "This policy creates a process for receiving, assessing and responding to complaints in a timely manner that is consistently applied," Magee wrote. The process includes conducting a "welldocumented" investigation that provides "a clear factual basis for enforcement." The bylaw's mandate is to achieve compliance with bylaws through "education, mediation, and, as necessary, enforcement and prosecution." Its goals are to ensure public safety, public health and the prevention of fires. It

VETERAN REPORTERS PUTTING NAMES ON BALLOT A GROWING TREND IN AREA POLITICS, JOHN CAMPBELL WRITES JOHN CAMPBELL Column
northumberlandnews.com
#IBREAKTHESILENCE
I'm no Sherlock Holmes but the evidence is pretty strong: If you've been in the news business a while, there's a good chance you'll want to be a politician some day. As proof I submit the following: Chris Malette, the veteran reporter and former managing editor of this paper (and others in the area that ceased to exist last November) is running for council in Belleville. Mandy Martin, another former managing editor with a lengthy resume in journalism, is hoping to become the next mayor of Cramahe Township. CJBQ reporter Tim Durkin will be the Bay of Quinte Conservative candidate in next year's federal election. CJBQ - the same place where sports broadcaster Jack Miller and news director Todd Smith made their names before entering politics. Miller, who has served three terms on Belleville council while continuing to work at the radio station, announced in July he would not be running again. Smith, elected MPP in 2011, is now Ontario's Minister of Government and Consumer Services as well as Government House Leader. Elsewhere, Paul Rellinger, a longtime editor who retired from Peterborough This Week in 2016, is vying
for a seat on Peterborough council. As far as we know, his son, Paul Rellinger Junior, who once worked as a reporter at the Independent, is not running for office. This year. Ernst Kuglin, also an alumnus of this paper before moving to the Trentonian, is a Ward 2 candidate in Quinte West. And not forgotten is Joyce Cassin, a veteran print and radio reporter, who ran for Brighton council in the last election. No doubt there are countless other examples to be found across the country. Far from being vilified as enemies of the people, as a serial liar south of the border is wont to do, members of the fourth estate are seen as allies by their fellow Canadians in pursuit of a better life. Perhaps it's the wealth of knowledge and depth of experience that journalists accumulate from having observed so much and written about that compels them to seek new challenges that make use of their expertise. No longer content to be chroniclers and commentators they yearn to be doers, people who set the agenda rather than report on its contents. It gets one to thinking: I do have four years to draft a campaign slogan. Hmm ... now that's a deadline I can work with. John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

LETTERS & COMMENTARY HARD TO KNOW WHAT TO BOYCOTT SOMETIMES Dear Editor: Boycott? Well, they, (never could figure out who "they" are) ask us to refrain from purchasing items from the States while the big egos get their act together. Buy Canadian is a super idea until one tries to comply. We had gone up to the big city (Trenton) for a visit. While there, we decided that maybe we would take in the sights and do a little shopping. While browsing through a food store, we noticed a large sign proclaiming that there was fresh Canadian chicken available at an unbelievable price. The word "sale" was enough; adding "Canadian" made it irresistible. Faster than a gull at a lakeshore picnic, we were at the meat counter. The product was well presented, and I thought we would be eating high tonight. All thought of food was abandoned when I heard the best half of our marriage asking for the meat manager. The tone of her
rcoyne@metroland.com BrightonIndependent @north_news
WHO WE ARE voice led me to believe I should head to the hills. She asked the meat manager where the meat came from. He said that it came in bulk from down around Toronto, and he claimed that they package it right there in the store. She asked him to read the small print on the corner of the package. It read, "Product of the U.S.A." At least he admitted that he had not seen the label. I sure miss the time when convenience food meant the chicken was near the house.
R.G. CARR BRIGHTON
TEAMWORK NEEDED ON BRIGHTON COUNCIL Dear Editor: The Independent's coverage of the recent all-candidates meeting and candidate profiles published over the past several weeks provided essential, unbiased information to electors, which is much appreciated by this voter, and I'm sure by many others. In reviewing those articles I was heartened to note
that virtually all of the 15 candidates for the seven council positions (mayor, deputy mayor and five councillors) recognize that there is a problem of divisiveness with the present council and that there is a need for our new council to work as a cohesive team. In this context, it was disappointing to note that two of the candidates seeking reelection did not see this as an issue. It was also disappointing to read open criticism of Brighton's current mayor by two of the candidates. In my view, personal remarks have no place in mature political debate and can only lead to polarization and the type of dysfunctional governance that Brighton taxpayers have endured over the past four years.

NEWS
VETERAN COUNCIL MEMBER SAYS ELECTED OFFICIALS MUST BE GUIDED BY FACTS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com TRENT HILLS - There are initiatives underway that Rosemary KelleherMacLennan wants to see to their conclusion by remaining on council. One is a new hospital, which the municipality has been called upon to support with funding. She has suggested Trent Hills be a partner in the project by combining the health and wellness centre the municipality has proposed - a facility that includes an NHL-size rink and three pools - with what the hospital is planning to build. First elected to council in 2003, Kelleher-MacLennan said another reason
she is running again in Ward 1 (Campbellford-Seymour) is to offer a steady hand in how the municipality is run. "You really got to care about your community and the people," she said, as well as know what the facts are and "what people can and cannot do" as a council member. Kelleher-MacLennan fears the work of politicians is being undermined by social media where "a lot of mistruths" circulate, facts get twisted and words are taken out of context. It's for that reason she isn't on Facebook. So it's important that whoever gets elected respects the truth and is guided by facts, she said. Otherwise, the munici-
pality gets sued and "we end up spending all the taxpayers' money on lawsuits ... It takes away from all the constructive things that we can be doing in our municipality." Despite the pitfalls she worries about, KelleherMacLennan said Trent Hills "is doing very well" because it's been led by council members who "genuinely have the concerns of the municipality at heart." "They're willing to stand up for their wards, but they're also willing to agree to disagree, and they're willing to negotiate (which is) so, so important," she said. "We all state our case, and sometimes fairly strongly, but in the end, we

all walk away knowing that we've got to do the best thing for the municipality," she continued. "We're not going to win every battle." It's a way of doing business she hopes will continue with the next council. Kelleher-MacLennan said she would love to see a "transportation pathway" in the municipality take shape when roads are built or reconstructed that is "more user-friendly" to those who like to cycle or walk. The 63-year-old real estate broker and current president of the Ontario Municipal Water Association said she has always been the type of person who wants to help people and be there for them "whatever it is." The municipality is "lucky" to have rural areas and urban centres that "do great things together" and make Trent Hills so attractive to visitors, she said. "The quality of life is something I want to be able to help maintain here and make sure that we're moving forward," KelleherMacLennan said.
John Campbell/Metroland Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan wants to remain on council to help maintain the municipality's quality of life.
HILTON RESIDENT STRONGLY OPPOSES BYLAW ALLOWING ATVS ON BRIGHTON ROADS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - A Hilton resident is firmly against opening up municipal roads to all-terrain vehicles. In a detailed presentation to council Sept. 4, John Harwood said he's not alone in his view, saying he had canvassed his neighbours and determined a majority of them are "adamantly opposed" to a bylaw being passed that allows ATVs on Brighton's roads. Harwood said he and his wife moved to Hilton 35 years ago "to enjoy the peace and quiet of country living, not to be annoyed by the noise of loud engines." They accept the noise of farm machinery as their use predated the construction of homes in the area "and the farmers are extremely considerate with their activities," he said. But they "don't want to be subjected to the much louder noise of ATVs passing by just a few feet from (their) windows." Harwood told council he and his neighbours "had a big problem" years ago with ATVs and other off-road vehicles being driven "all around the
neighbourhood" and they were "constantly calling the police." "Our quality of life was not good until these people finally grew up and moved away, and we were able to relax and resume enjoying life again," he said. Northumberland District ATV Riders supports the proposed bylaw, saying its 300 members drive responsibly but Harwood said the group "has neither the ability nor power to police"its members and the bylaw would open up the roads "to everyone, not only responsible members of the association."
He expressed surprise that council would "entertain the idea of allowing these dangerous machines on our highways" and said some of his neighbours are concerned about the safety of the many young children who live in the area. ATVs also "pollute the environment (and) destroy the natural habitat by uprooting the forest and scaring away wildlife," he added. Should council allow this "public nuisance" on municipal roads, it would hurt Brighton's reputation "as a desirable place for retirement ... discourage tourism ... (and) drive down property values," Harwood argued. "It would be difficult to sell a house if it is on a known ATV route," he insisted. "ATVs are recreational off-road vehicles. They should be used in recreational areas, not on our public roads against the advice of stakeholders and common sense." Bylaw enforcement officer Allen Magee told council he would have a draft bylaw he is working on ready for its Sept. 17 meeting.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - October is Child Abuse Prevention Month and area councils are once again being asked to show their support for the annual Purple Ribbon Campaign that takes place across the province. The campaign, organized by children's aid societies, raises awareness about the important role communities can play in preventing child abuse and neglect. That task is taken on locally by Highland Shores Children's Aid, which covers the counties of Northumberland, Prince Edward and Hastings. Volunteer co-ordinator Melanie Morris told council at its Sept. 4 meeting
that 89 per cent of children who receive services from children's aid societies "do so because their families are unable to meet their physical and emotional needs." "This means that the majority of families working with children's aid societies are not related to the extreme abuse that most people associate with child welfare," she said. Last year Highland Shores assessed 1,358 families for concerns about their children and subsequently provided 637 of them with ongoing services and support. "The children and youth that we help live in families that are struggling with issues that can make parenting even more challenging
assistance should alert Highland Shores (the number is 905-372-1821 for residents in Northumberland). "Your call to children's aid could be the most important call in a child's life," Morris said. Purple is the signature colour of Child Abuse Prevention Month and people can show their support by wearing a purple ribbon or purchasing a purple item from the agency's charitable arm, the Children's Foundation (T-shirts can be purchased by calling the foundation at 613-962-9292, or visiting thechildrensfoundation.ca). "We would ask that you help spread the word that keeping kids safe is everyone's responsibility," Kim Lauder, the foundation's program co-ordinator for Northumberland, told council, which passed the requisite proclamation for the month. "You can make a difference." There are "Go Purple" hockey games scheduled throughout October in all three counties, while Dress Purple Day will take place Oct. 24.

than it already is," Morris continued. "Some of these difficulties include mental health, addictions, social isolation, trauma and extreme financial stress." She said "research shows that the impact of not meeting a child's physical, emotional and social needs on an ongoing basis can be devastating and can lead to serious problems later in life." Unemployment, lack of housing and food insecurity are key factors in causing family crises which lead to children's aid societies getting involved, Morris said. "In 53 per cent of CAS investigations in Ontario, families were experiencing some of these hardships," she said. There are 38,000 children 15 years of age and under in the areas serviced by Highland Shores and 5.7 per cent of them come to the agency's attention (of which less than one per cent are placed in out-ofhome care). Anyone who has concerns that a child or youth might need protection or

BRIGHTON'S OWN: A HEARTWARMING TALE OF PERSEVERANCE GOOD FRIENDS GAVE FAMILY MAN NEW LIFE AFTER NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT, VIC SCHUKOV WRITES VIC SCHUKOV Column
Oshawa-born Joe Klawitter lived in Sunderland and Port Perry until age 10, then Oshawa again, then Brighton: "I first came in 1996. My parents bought a farm and I stayed there while taking computers at Loyalist College, before working in Peterborough where I met my wife Susan." Klawitter returned to Brighton in 2000 married with two kids and one on the way, to work for a company that changed boilers in schools. "Four months into the job, my accident happened. We moved a threeton boiler out of Spring Valley Public School. I came back from lunch, after it was taken apart. A 1,500-pound piece, six feet by five feet solid steel, stood vertically, held up by a four-inch block of wood. "I was vacuuming with my back turned when someone screamed my name. I turned and it was already coming at me. I got hit in the chest and leg. What saved my life was
the wood giving me four inches of separation from the ground. I would have been crushed." Klawitter broke two bones in his lower back and crushed his right leg from the bottom up to the knee. He went straight from the ambulance into surgery. "I got 62 centimetres in stitches and uncountable fractures. They said I would never walk on two feet again. Three years in rehabilitation, I never stopped moving. I didn't want to be the one who wasn't going to work." Now, the heartwarming part: "I met Steve and Heather Voskamp months after my accident. I was in a wheelchair on the front porch and Steve came along to pick up his son after school. Steve looked at the wheelchair and said 'You want to talk about it?' I said 'Sure. I got nobody else to talk to.' We talked for hours. He was an elder at Christian Reformed Church. A few days later, he came back. We talked some more. This went on for months. He never preached to me but quoted passages to do with not giving up." Two years out of rehab, Klawitter was walking with canes. "Steve said 'There's only one way for you to really get going. Go to a job site, see it, smell it and do it.' I told him I couldn't get a job working. He said 'Come to one of my house building sites. We'll find

you something to do.' "I showed up, and Steve had a big smile on his face happy to see me, and said 'There's the broom and that's a sheet of paper. You write down your hours. I don't care if you're here for 10 minutes or 10 hours. Let's try and get you going.'" First day, Joe lasted a half-hour. Then three hours a day for the next six months, then off to the next site. Fifteen years later, Klawitter owns a business painting parking lot lines and sealing driveways. "Steve saved my life in a way that brings tears to my eyes. To this day, he is still my best friend. He and Heather have always been there for my family. Susan was dealing with my pain, two boys and a newborn. Steve and Heather saw our stress. They would take our kids to play for the day so Susan could rest." Steve became Joe's inspiration: "Steve gives; that's what he is. From him, I learned to help people. I am the luckiest man in the world. I should have died. I am thankful I came to Brighton. People accepted me. I have never been without some work. They know I work hard and I don't ask for much. "The Churchills and Peter Quick gave me a chance. Jim and Christine Waterhouse gave me work when I started my business. Mayor Walas has given me work. I also thank

the Chapman and Tedder families. Everyone gave me a chance to prove myself. They never looked down on me, never said I couldn't do it. They accepted me, helped my family, and we have put our kids through two beautiful schools." His advice to anyone in crisis? "Find a friend. Learn to open the door for yourself. Steve made me open my own door every time I went to work." Joe saves his highest praise for Susan: "She is my rock, my soul. I couldn't do it without her. She took care of three kids and me the biggest one, and had to teach all four to walk. I was the stubborn one, the rest picked it up no problem. (Laughing.)"

MURRAY MCCULLOUGH TAKES AIM AT TRUSTEE POSITION WITH PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com Murray McCullough wants to be the next Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board trustee, representing Brighton, Cramahe Township and Murray Ward in the City of Quinte West. He was raised on a farm nearby and left for York University in 1970 where he received his honours BA in history and geography. He continued his education and received a bachelor of education, has a masters in humanities and a PhD in correctional education. He has a diverse background in teaching in Ontario and overseas, instructing students in Botswana and teaching Korean teachers to teach English while in Korea. He retired after completing 12 years of teaching at the Warkworth Institution. "I have a world view of education," said McCullough. "I can bring new ideas to the school board table. It is the job of the trustee to advise the director of education on issues while they manage the day-to-day operations of the school board. I am interested in learning about the administrative side of education and my experience as a teacher gives me valuable insight." "There is a wide socioeconomic spectrum in this area. Some of our schools have fewer resources for programs because funding is frozen," said McCullough. "We are not growing in population in this area for people with school-age children and therefore our municipal and provincial funding has remained the same. Our schools are being asked to do more with no funding increases. "The rural areas' students face long bus rides

When is the right time to leave ‘home’?
Few people like to admit their age is affecting them. However, as we age, certain abilities become compromised, and it may no longer be practical for aging men and women to remain in their homes, or at least live there alone. Comfortable living alone may be a signal to an older adult that he or she still has independence. Taking away a license or suggesting a move may cause feelings of animosity. But at some point in time, friends or family members of an aging man or woman might need to broach the topic of moving to an assisted living facility. Such a discussion can be difficult, but having some evidence that a change is necessary may make the news easier to process. Sometimes the older adult may have already made the decision that a move is necessary, which will make the process even easier. Moving should never be a knee-jerk reaction unless there is a sudden medical emergency that necessitates fast action. Under normal circumstance, moving
should be a gradual process that begins even before a parent, grandparent or other relative really needs to change residences. Here are some steps to keep in mind. • Make sure to develop a strong relationship with your loved one. This relation ship should be consistent and keep you in frequent contact so you can best assess his or her living situation. • Talk things over with other siblings or relatives to see if others feel the same way you do Perhaps they have a different point of view. • If there are problems at home, make your case by pointing them out. Show the elder adult how day-to-day life has grown more difficult and how certain burdens may be lifted by changing living situations. • Indicate that access to health care and a safe environment are some of the key benefits of moving to a senior community. Point out other benefits;
such as companionship with similarly aged people, activities, transportation, and the presence of a maintenance staff to ensure nothing falls into disrepair. • Do your research and have the names and amenities of different residences available to discuss. Request brochures from senior communities and offer to make trips to view the homes together with your senior relative. • If the idea of a “home” is not what your loved one has in mind, discuss the options of moving in with a relative and if this would be a more comfortable situation. • You may need a mediator or help with finding the right fit for a loved one. Consider hiring a geriatric care manager to help you organize your thoughts and priorities regarding a senior living transition. These individuals provide services that include helping families locate appropriate housing and care service for their loved ones.

• Prescriptions • Eye Wear • Magazines • Reading Material Alicia Vandine/Metroland Murray McCullough and this restricts them from after-school activities because of their need to travel by bus," said McCullough. "I believe that after-school programs encourage learning and I would also like to encourage more people to volunteer to help in these programs and in the school system. "I think the school board will face important issues during this term, the cancellation of the current sexual education curriculum is a regressive move, it doesn't take into account that this generation is the most connected in history and it is important to get messages in a structured environment so that we can give them good information rather than from sources on the web," said McCullough. "Science, technology, engineering and math have been male-dominated professions and I think encouraging young women in these subjects is an im-
portant issue too. "As I am retired, I have the time and also bring my knowledge from the teaching side to this position," he said when asked why he was running for this position. "I was the first in my family to go beyond a high school and I believe that continuing education is important in today's world. We need to ensure that our students are ready for the workforce of the future because education is not a right like in some countries but I believe it should be a priority." When asked why voters should elect him, "I think of the quote from Nelson Mandela - 'Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.' I am enjoying my retirement but I still feel the need to get involved and am still very interested in our education system and that's why I am running for this school board trustee position."

BRIGHTON PADDLERS RETURN HOME LOADED DOWN WITH MEDALS
northumberlandnews.com
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Hard work paid off for three members of the Brighton Dragon Boat Club this summer. Phil Spencer, Tricia Boehme and Barb Michno earned several gold medals at the Club Crew World Championships held in Szeged, Hungary in July, competing as members of the Pickering Dragon Boat Club. The International Dragon Boat Federation event was the largest ever held, with 6,300 paddlers taking part, representing 140 clubs in 30 countries. Pickering won more medals than any other club in the competition. Competing in his first championships, Spencer, 67, won nine medals - five gold, three silver and one bronze. He paddled with three teams, in two age groups, 50-plus and 60-plus. "It was very intense, very exciting - a culmination of a lot of work and a lot of preparation," said Spencer, who's president of the Brighton Dragon Boat Club. In the six weeks before
competition, "we were having five very hard onwater practices a week, and when we weren't doing that, we were in the gym." Boehme, 55, won gold at the championships for the first time after three previous trips to the international event that's held every other year in a different country. It was "pretty thrilling," Boehme said. "I didn't go with high expectations ... I thought it would be nice to come home with one medal." Instead she returned home with seven - four of them gold, two silver and one bronze. Michno, 67, collected three gold at her fifth world championship. She has "medalled at every world" but three of them stand out as "emotional medals" - earning her first gold in 2006 in Toronto, steering her boat to a bronze medal in a 200metre race in Italy, and winning gold this year as a member of a men's team. The races ranged from 200 metres to two kilometres. The competition is so tight it's not unusual for races to end with photo

Boehme coaches Brighton's dragon boat racing team, the Heat Strokes, "and her competitive instruction dovetailed perfectly with the Pickering program," Spencer said. Her tutelage has been "a major factor in preparing local paddlers to compete internationally." Boehme's superb coaching has "helped both Phil and myself become better paddlers" with the Pickering club, Michno said. Boehme estimates she
spends 10 hours a week preparing for a world championship in the weeks leading up to the competition. That includes travelling to Pickering four times a week. Training is more than paddling. It's working out in a gym regularly, as well as going to a camp at Myrtle Beach in South Carolina in April "to work on the technical side of your stroke." The camp is run by the coach of the Pickering club. In the winter club members paddle in a pool in Scarborough. Taking up dragon boat-
ing 11 years ago has provided "terrific focus" in Boehme's life.
"It was very intense, very exciting - a culmination of a lot of work and a lot of preparation."

"I just love the rush of the whole thing," she said,
and "the friendships are fantastic." It's also "a great way to see places." Michno said the sport has helped her become fit and stay healthy. "That's number 1, the physical fitness," she said. Competing and winning medals are "a huge bonus," she added. "From a rec paddler to a world champion is like wow!" "We are all very proud of our accomplishments with the Pickering Dragon Boat Club," Boehme said, "and we are extremely proud of our roots in the Brighton Dragon Boat Club."

Municipality of Brighton Brighton Wastewater Treatment System Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment The Municipality of Brighton (the Municipality) initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) of their wastewater treatment system in August 2016 to evaluate the most suitable process for wastewater treatment over the next 20 years. The project is intended to address various problems experienced with treatment (most notably the elevated ammonia concentrations in the treated effluent) and also to ensure that increased influent flows from future growth can be effectively accommodated. Recommended Alternative Following a Public Information Centre (held on Monday, May 29, 2017), further consultation with interested agencies, the project team and Municipal Council, and a review of comments received from the public, the preferred alternative selected is to install a specialized treatment system to complement the existing lagoon system. In addition to the specialized treatment system, a number of lifecycle upgrades were also recommended. These life-cycle upgrades include: a very thorough de-sludging program, upgrading baffles in the stabilization pond, optimizing alum dosage, refurbishing the constructed wetland, and diverting high waste streams. A Schedule ‘B’ Report has been completed containing details of the proposed upgrades.

I want to continue to work with the OPSBA to help review curriculum with the ministry and build more connections with local colleges and employers to ensure that our district is meeting needs. "I would also like to work with the director to continue to improve our transition programs from Grade 8 into high school and high school to postsecondary education," said Dickson. "Special education is also important to me and making sure that we connect students and their families to other resources in our communities earlier will make the difference to ensure their success too. "Mental health issues are an area of concern that the school board has taken on and there is still lots to
be done in this area," said Dickson. "I am definitely a hands-on trustee, I love to volunteer at school functions like barbecues and fun fairs because I get to talk directly with parents, students and teachers and learn about what is important to them," she said. "I have good working relationships with all the schools and their principals and am available to them when they need my assistance or a volunteer." When asked why voters should elect her, "I strongly admire the dedication of our teachers. In fact, there is so much dedication from volunteers and all the members of the staff who work within our schools from school secretaries to custodians to vice-principals and principals. They all contribute to the betterment of our kids and I want to continue working with them to do just that."

The Sept. 16 concert, presented by the Warkworth Community Service and Campbellford Rotary clubs, will be preceded by a barbecue at 12 noon with the show to follow at 2 p.m. Westben said in a news release the Sultans of String "thrill their audiences with their global sonic tapestry of Spanish flamenco, Arabic folk, Cuban rhythms and Gypsy jazz, celebrating musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity. Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenco guitar, while bass and percussion lay down unstoppable grooves." "Throughout, acoustic strings meet electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound." The Sultans of String have received eight Canadian Folk Music Award nominations, winning in the instrumental and world categories, and last year they made it onto Billboard's World Music charts and the New York Times Christmas Hits list. The band has also been recorded live on BBC Television, NPR and Sirius XM.
