ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com Codrington Community Centre was filled with residents anxious to speak with candidates about the issues of interest to them and the future of the Municipality of Brighton on Sept. 11. Each candidate, including the two candidates for the English

Public School Board Trustee, had a designated area to display their literature and answer questions and speak directly with the event's attendees. Common questions from attendees included internet service, road maintenance, economic development, the conduct of council and of course the equal representation of both rural and urban resi-

dents. Councillor candidates shared some of their views of these issues when asked what they thought were of most importance to the rural residents of the municipality. "Council has been reactive rather than proactive," said Ron Anderson. "It puts a lot of pressure on (municipal) staff and

makes it difficult for them to do their jobs. This needs to change for Brighton." "Rural roads and rural roads renewal is something I hear from many residents," said Steven Baker. "Our staff uses the Roads Leads Study to prioritize which roads need to be repaired, notSee MANY, page 4

withstanding emergency repairs, based on these recommendations and on budget constraints we have used the tar and chip method on many rural roads. Residents, of course, would prefer fully paved roads and I think that we need to think about what is a good in-between method so that we can meet residents' needs and our budget." "I have lived in a rural part of the municipality and I understand how important access to highspeed internet service is to residents," said Mark Bateman. "Our students and home businesses have a disadvantage when they can't get access to a reliable service. We are also eliminating potential work-at-home jobs for this same reason. This limits our economy because when people can make money here, they spend their money locally too." "Rural internet access and roads are two of the issues I have heard from many people tonight," said Natasha Huizinga. "First, I would question why the empty industrial properties have access to fiberoptics and we don't have these amenities for our rural residents. Second, I would like more emphasis on road maintenance, including clearing brush from culverts that many residents have said to me is a safety issue that the municipality is not addressing." "It is important to diversify the tax base," said Doug LeBlanc. "We need to encourage more industrial investment in Brighton and also encourage housing and farming businesses. I can speak with people about expanding business in this area and would want to help farmers by getting legislation eased on restrictions they face

that don't make sense for them. It is also important to me to stop the dysfunction of the past council, work together as a team and adopt a code of conduct so that we can attract good staff resources back to the municipality where needed." "The acrimony on council needs to stop," said John Martinello. "Also the need for less expensive and reliable access to the internet is essential, it is an integral part of modern infrastructure and council should focus on this, providing equal access to this basic service." "General maintenance of roads, ditches and brush is a big job for our small municipal staff, I think we can improve our maintenance schedule to better serve residents," said Emily Rowley. "The turnover of staff is also a concern and I want to address this too."

"For the urban area, the sustainability of our downtown and for the rural area, access to the internet is a key issue," said Vic Schukow. "Access to the internet is affecting businesses and our residents' ability to do business. I will get to a solution on access to high-speed internet, whether that is working with the MP directly or gathering signatures on a petition. I would encourage voters to look at candidates and who has the ability to get things done." "I hear many comments about the functioning of the council," said Mary Tadman. "I am proud of the work that has been done on the waste water plant. We have worked with expert consultants and taken direction from the Ministry and increased the capacity for 20 years and we are working to resolve the last problem, ammonia levels to fall within Ministry guidelines." "The rural internet comes up a lot. It is definitely the gateway of our economy," said Jeff Wheeldon.

NEWS

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton — For a marriage to be successful, it is a matter of give-and-take. Just ask Darcy Hammerton. He’s taking a risk by giving his wife Mary the best gift of all, the gift of life, by donating 70 per cent of his liver to replace hers. The transplant was scheduled to take place Sept. 17 at Toronto General Hospital. Mary, who’s 45, was diagnosed with primary biliary cirrhosis 12 years ago. It’s a rare disease in which the liver’s bile ducts that carry the fluid to the small intestine are progressively destroyed if left untreated. Bile helps the body break down fat and absorb vitamins, such as A and D. Mary said she was prescribed medication and told “most people lead normal lives” with PBC and “never really have any problems with it.” She wasn’t so fortunate. “In the last two years it’s started to get tougher,” as her condition worsened, Mary said. She began showing signs of jaundice and got so tired that she could no longer work as a registered practical nurse. Last December Mary was put on the waiting list

for an organ transplant. Some people tested to be a live liver donor but that “didn’t work out,” Darcy said. “For one reason or another the hospital wouldn’t accept them,” Mary said. After she was told in May “she needs a liver now,” Darcy decided to find out if he could be a donor. The Whites Road couple hadn’t considered him a candidate until then. “We thought because I had high blood pressure that they wouldn’t even look at me,” said the 44year-old carpenter. More than a dozen tests, including MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, X-rays and liver biopsy, were done in Toronto to confirm he was a suitable match. Darcy said “there’s a ton of risks” with donating most of his liver, including infection and cardiac arrest, which could result in his needing a liver transplant himself. But he doesn’t care, not when it means saving his “high school sweetheart,” the girl he fell in love with when they attended Quinte Secondary School in Belleville. It’s been “a fairy tale” romance, Darcy said. They’ve been married 24 years and have two daughters. “I’ve always thought of

him as my Superman but now he’s my real hero,” Mary said with a smile. “I’m not the hero, she is,” Darcy said. “She’s the one ... (who) never gave up, never was ever down about it. She’s always happy and (thinking) whatever happens happens.” “They have a pretty good success rate in Toronto,” Mary said. Her husband will have “a normal size liver again within six to eight weeks (of the surgery). It grows back.” The recovery time for both is three months. Mary is looking forward to resuming a normal life. “I’ve been tied down for a long time,” she said. “We want to do some travelling.” Darcy said he was getting “really drained and frustrated” waiting on word whether or not the transplant would ever take place. Getting the go-ahead was “fantastic news.” The couple set up a GoFundMe page — www.gofundme.com/please-support-marys-journey — last February to receive donations to help pay for the cost of medications that Mary will require for the rest of her life, between $2,000 and $5,000 a month. Partial funding is available through the province’s Trillium Drug Program.

1,500-PLUS PEOPLE NEED AN ORGAN

John Campbell/Metroland Darcy Hammerton was overjoyed to learn he was a match and could donate most of his liver to save his wife Mary who has primary biliary cirrhosis and was in urgent need of a transplant. But there’s also the cost of home care and travelling to Toronto once a week for checkups. “(A)ny support would be greatly appreciated” Darcy writes. “(A)nyone who

knows us know we never ask for help but I guess it’s time,” because watching his wife “fade each day” as a result of her suffering “has been a hard one to swallow.”

Darcy and Mary Hammerton encourage people to register as an organ donor at www.beadonor.ca. It takes only two minutes. “There are a lot of people waiting for organs,” Mary said. The Trillium Gift of Life Network says on its website there are more than 1,500 people in Ontario currently waiting for a transplant. “This is their only treatment option, and every 3 days someone will die because they did not get their transplant in time.” One donor can save up to eight lives through organ donation and enhance the lives of up to 75 more through the gift of tissue. “Age alone does not disqualify someone from becoming a donor. The oldest organ donor was over 90 and the oldest tissue donor was over 100.” The network says a person’s current or past medical history is no barrier to registering to be a donor. “Individuals with serious illnesses can, sometimes, be organ and/or tissue donors. Each potential donor is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.”

BRIGHTON LIONS CONTRIBUTION

COMMUNITY NEWS IN THE DIGITAL AGE What is the role of a community newspaper in 2018? This is a question we take seriously here at Metroland, where we pride ourselves in our dedication to bringing the communities in which we live and work news that is important to them. We're finding that certain kinds of stories that were relevant 20 or even 10 years ago are no longer so due to technological advances like smartphones and social media platforms. For example, our papers have in the past covered high school graduations and opening days of school. But lately we've been asking ourselves if this sort of coverage is really the best way to serve our communities? Anyone with a Facebook account knows to expect their feed flooded with all their friends' kids' adorable back-to-school photos every year on the first day of school. Everyone who knows and cares about each of these kids will see and appreciate these photos. Would a reporter's time not be better served digging deeper into issues that impact the community as a whole? Analytics also tell us that people care about local business stories, but not necessarily the kind that have traditionally been covered by community papers. Readers want to know about good local places to eat and if a new kind of store is coming to town; they care less about ribbon cuttings and cheque presentations. Perhaps once again, technology is a factor. Most businesses have their own Facebook pages these days, and if the owner wants to hand a huge cheque to a local charity, they can tell the world about it themselves via social media. The same can be said of sports coverage. What purpose does it serve for your local paper to recap games and list scores when most leagues and teams have their own websites and social media pages that do the exact same thing? We're confident that if a local team or athlete has a good story to tell, this is indeed best handled by one of our trained journalists. But in terms of the day-to-day reports, does it really serve anyone for us to be "competing" with, say, a local junior hockey team's Facebook page? Times change, and like every other industry, we must change with them. One thing remains the same, however, and that is our dedication to factual, relevant reporting. Our role as a trusted news source is not something we take lightly, and our goal will always be to bring our readers stories and information that are important to them.

We're finding that certain kinds of stories that were relevant 20 or even 10 years ago are no longer so due to technological advances like smartphones and social media platforms.

WHY NOT EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE?

WHO WE ARE

LOW TURNOUT AT POLLS CONTINUES TO CONFOUND, ALICIA VANDINE WRITES ALICIA VANDINE Column

Do you know that according to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the average voter turnout in the 2014 Municipal election was 43.12 per cent? It makes me wonder why less than half of eligible citizens exercised their right in the last election. A municipal government is responsible for important local services such as water supply, garbage disposal, roads, sidewalks, economic development, building codes and parks. So why are people so apathetic? Now maybe these issues are a little mundane and unexciting but they do impact us all each day. Of course, if you don't vote,

should you complain about how things are being run? I would encourage you to attend the all-candidate meet-and-greet events, go to the debates. When candidates put their flyers in your mailboxes, read them. If they knock on your door, ask them questions about the issues you care about and find out where they stand on them. Make informed decisions for yourself and of course, vote. We honour those who came before us who worked hard to get us a representative democracy. We honour the service of our past and present military members who have sacrificed to ensure that we can hold free elections and cast a vote. Ladies, remember the Suffragettes and the Famous Five? There was a time when women were

not only unable to vote but also couldn't own property or hold public office because they were not deemed 'persons' under the law. It was through this movement and these five women who paved the way and gave us the ability to seek office and vote today, honour their legacy. We have been given a really great gift that many people in the world do not have. We have been given the opportunity to speak up for what we want, keep what we like or change what we don't. Every vote makes our democracy stronger. You can't have a successfully run democratic system without the support of voters. Voting gives us the ability to express our opinions, choose our leaders and allows us to hold them to account. Alicia Vandine is a freelance reporter with the Brighton Independent.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

John Campbell/Metroland Madi MacDonald gave a heartrending account of the loss her family suffered when cancer claimed the life of her father.

Brighton - A student who lost her father to cancer delivered an emotionally charged remembrance of her "hero" to help launch East Northumberland Secondary School's annual fundraising campaign for the Terry Fox Foundation. Madi MacDonald said her father, Ian, was such a huge supporter of cancer research that he donated more than $1,800 at the school's Terry Fox golf tournament last year. "Little did we know that six months later ... his donation would go toward trying to find his cure," she said, speaking at the Sept. 14 school assembly. On March 2 this year,

he was initially diagnosed with atypical pneumonia but subsequent tests revealed he had stage four non-smoker's lung cancer that had already spread to his brain. More tests followed, showing the cancer had entered his bones. His doctors told him "to go and enjoy life" while he could, MacDonald said. "We never expected that seven days later ... he would be gone." Despite the pain her father endured his final days, "he still kept up his jokes and laughter." MacDonald visited him in the hospital on Easter Sunday. It was to be "the last time I heard my dad say 'I love you' but I didn't know that," she said, her voice breaking. She never had the op-

portunity to tell her dad how much he meant to her and how much she loved him. He died the next day, just 45 years of age. "How are you ever prepared for something like that?" MacDonald asked. "My dad was now not going to be there to see me turn 16," she said, or her brother Nathan graduate from Grade 8. MacDonald sat at his bedside for hours "pleading to him to fight through this. It was the hardest thing to see your hero lying in bed with no longer a chance to fight, losing to such an awful disease." Although sedated "he could still hear us (and know) he was surrounded by loved ones." Her father took his final breath at 2:42 a.m. on

April 3. "A big piece of my heart was left in that hospital room," said the Grade 11 student. "It's not fair." She will never see her dad walking through the back door again asking how her day was. "He's now not here to help me with school, he's not here to teach me new things. I lost my best dancing partner. I lost my best friend. "And when my day comes I don't have my best friend walking down the aisle because of cancer." MacDonald urged the thousand staff, students and visitors gathered in the gym to do everything they can to raise money for cancer research. "This is our fight to beat cancer."

BRIGHTON'S OWN: AN ADAPTABLE AND ECLECTIC COUPLE PAUL AND LAURIE CHATTEN REINVENT THEMSELVES ON THE FARM, VIC SCHUKOV WRITES VIC SCHUKOV Column

northumberlandnews.com

Paul Chatten is of the 11th generation born and raised in Brighton. In a rare period away, he spent two years at University of Guelph, earning an associate diploma in agriculture. From 1974 to 1979, he worked in the agrichemical industry in Toronto. While sharing an apartment there, he met and married his roommate's' sister, Laurie Wagner of Kitchener. Laurie was an operating room nurse in Calgary and Halifax for four years, followed by three years in the military. "We came back here," said Chatten, "and farmed with my parents for years, eventually taking over 100 acres, regularly selling over a million pounds of apples to 28 greengrocers in Toronto. " In 1992, we were rightsized by a huge recession, a polite way to say we lost the farm. Laurie retrained as an esthetician and I ended up teaching a course in Loyalist College called Computerization of Agriculture. "At that time, there was a lot of IT network training at Novel, so I became certified. I ended up commuting to a training job in Toronto, as close to a religious experience as I have ever come to called Alternative Computer Training (for the physically disabled on welfare.) I got these people into full-time IT jobs. I was humbled by

Vic Schukov/Metroland Paul and Laurie Chatten shown here at the farm. that experience." He retired from IT four years ago. Two years later, he started to grow shiitake mushrooms: "The seed was planted in Microbiology 101 in Guelph. We had an exceptional prof who presented a lecture on mushrooms. The idea lay in there for years. From the farm, we had tight relationships with restaurants. A new chef approached us and wanted mushrooms. Who knew anything? From that old lecture, I was intrigued by the component of growing them on logs of oak or maple or ironwood, drilling holes and inoculating them with spores, a year later finding a beautiful crop of three-inch mushrooms. I come from a long line of wood hewers. Shiitake is Korean for oak mushroom." Chatten's skill set is a cross between science and art: "You seal each hole

with a Styrofoam chip, and keep the logs wet. A year later in May, with the right humidity and temperature, they pop mushrooms. You control the production by "shocking" the logs; take a big tub filled with ice cold water and drop each log in for 24 hours, then wack them with an axe on the ends a few times, called "thump-

ing." Then I stand them up, and within eight hours you see the little nodules. Once inoculated, a log will continue to grow mushrooms through the sap of the wood. In subsequent years, the mushrooms pop all over the log in weak spots in the bark. "My background in agricultural production and IT allows us to maintain consistency of supply year round. The beauty of harvesting Shiitake is that you can dehydrate them after a time and stock them forever, so I have no loss in production." Chatten has 100 logs, and 100 new ones set for next year: "I anticipate maxing out at 300 logs, each 4 feet long. I told the chap I buy them from, 'you got another two more years before you got to start with three foot logs because at 70, I am not going to be lugging anymore four-foot logs out of the tank with ten extra pounds of water the next morning. (Laughing.)'" The Chattens are an eclectic couple who have reinvented themselves while applying the knowledge they acquired over the years. According to Chatten, "Marketing in the old days was newspaper and radio. Today, it is social networking. I combine that with

farming and hewing. I love making sawdust. Long ago, we took a picture framing course because photography is something we do together. I make the frames, Laurie does the special matting. We sell our pictures as (yet another) Mom and Pop business." Laurie: "I spend a lot of time with clients. I love them. They are my friend base. I have liked pleasing people ever since my days

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The stormwater master plan being worked on will support ongoing development, manage health and safety issues, and protect downstream natural resources, such as the Presqu'ile Bay marsh and cold water streams. Manager of capital infrastructure Lucas Kelly said it should address concerns residents and councillors have about how stormwater issues are being handled now. It will also identify which areas within town limits require attention and the priority that is to be given to each, he said. Olivia Sparrow, the engineer whose firm, Emmons & Olivier Resources, Inc., was hired to draft the management plan as part of an environmental assessment, said the quality of water entering the creek and bay will be looked at, to make sure "current best practices" are being met. Options such as rain gardens

John Campbell/Metroland Consultant Olivia Sparrow says a stormwater master plan will help both the municipality and developers in planning for the future. and rain barrels will be included in the plan as well as how the recommendations could be funded. Sparrow, who began work on the plan in April, hopes to have a

draft for the public to review by the end of the year. A final version based on public comment will then be presented to council for approval early next spring.

"treating the raindrop as close as you can where it hits the grounds," Sparrow said. "That's the most cost-effective approach for managing stormwater and treating it, to make sure it's clean." Sparrow said 30 Canadian municipalities and close to 1,700 in the United States currently charge stormwater user fees. "It's gaining in popularity," she said. The fees range from a flat rate based on the area of a property to one that takes into account a property's "imperviousness," which adds to run-off. It's transparent unlike a tax levy and "motivates individual property owners to install stormwater facilities that benefit their neighbours and the whole community," Sparrow said. "Without a stormwater master plan we don't know exactly where the needs are for the municipality to move forward through a budget process," Kelly said. The municipality relies instead on staff inspections and citizen comments to determine where there are drainage issues, he said. The budget for the year-long project to prepare a master plan is roughly $207,000.

MASTER PLAN WILL GIVE BRIGHTON OPTIONS FOR MANAGING STORMWATER IN FUTURE

High water levels in Lake Ontario, which resulted in shoreline properties being flooded last year, and ongoing development are putting "pressure on the system" that's been built over the years, Sparrow said in an interview during a public information centre that was held at the King Edward Park Arena Sept. 13. With just 17 per cent of the run-off from the built portion of Brighton's urban area being treated by stormwater management facilities, there is a clear need to increase capacity to ensure stormwater is "cleaner and controlled" before it reaches the lake, she said. Sparrow said mapping out "where there are constraints in the system (that set) limitations" on new development will be of special interest to builders. "That will help reduce the surprises down the line ... as they start designing their stormwater management plans," she said. Climate change is a factor, especially as it relates to water levels rising in Lake Ontario, Sparrow said. All recommended improvements will be "geared toward building resiliency in the system" to accommodate the change in climate, she said. The "first priority" will be

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com CAMPBELLFORD - The wait is over; the votes have been counted: Dooher's Bakery is the "Sweetest Bakery in Canada." It received the most votes, online and by mail, to win the contest sponsored by Dawn Food Products, Inc., based in Michigan. Winning the competition was "incredible ... such a wild feeling," owner Cory Dooher said. She found out the bakery had won in a phone-call from her brother Carl last Friday morning. He had been monitoring Dawn Food's website for a tally of the final results. A company representative phoned later, confirming the good news. Voting began in April with a deadline of July 31

for votes sent online. Mailed votes were accepted until Sept. 14. The grand prize is worth $10,000 and includes a plaque, advertising and public relations support, and a celebration party for staff and customers. Dooher said her "very surreal" victory made her think back to when her grandfather Harry Dooher started the bakery in 1949. "I wish he was here with me because I know he would be so proud," she said. "I couldn't have done it on my own. I have an amazing staff that worked their butts off." Dooher also expressed gratitude for the support she received "from everybody who took the time to vote" and the people who are her customers. The business wouldn't be successful without

them, she said. "Thank you to everyone. It's pretty touching." Dooher went out for dinner Friday night with her parents, Peter and Christine Dooher, and her three children, Jeremy Dooher, Hannah Finch and Spencer Finch, to celebrate the win. Joining them was Alannah Haig, who handles marketing and advertising. She played "a huge part" in securing the title of Canada's sweetest bakery by urging people to vote, Dooher said. The publicity is certain to draw even more customers to what is already a very busy Bridge Street East business. "We're ready to take it on, absolutely," Dooher said. "We've got a big name behind us now. If it means having to hire more staff, then that's the step I'm going to have to take."

IMPORTANT MUNICIPAL ELECTION INFORMATION John Campbell/Metroland Eric Lawlor, chair of the Quinte Agricultural Wall of Fame at Farmtown Park in Stirling.

INDUCTEES ADDED TO AGRICULTURE WALL OF FAME

northumberlandnews.com

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Stirling - A pair of "tireless advocates for agriculture and their community" were added to the Quinte Agricultural Wall of Fame on Sunday but only one, Pat Johnston, was able to attend the 13th annual ceremony held at Farmtown Park. She and Carl Wilce "were partners not only in life but in their volunteer activities," serving on numerous organizations together, Eric Lawlor, chair of the Wall of Fame committee, said. Wilce died of colon cancer in 2016 at the age of 89. He had farmed all his life. The former Cramahe Township councillor served more than 35 years as a director of the Northumberland Cattlemen's Association, as well as its chair for a time. He also was a member of the Northumberland Soil and Crop Improvement Association for 35 years, and a founding member of the Quinte Stocker Sales committee. Johnston served as secretary-treasurer of the cattlemen's association for 10 years and has been a member of the Shiloh Ladies Group for 44 years, supporting charities and local pro-

jects. Wilce and Johnston were trustees of Shiloh United Memorial and Eden United Churches, as well as directors with the Dundonald Community Group. They were also founding members of the Northumberland Agricultural Awareness Committee in 1993, helping to organize a student agricultural education fair known as Field to Food, which is held every other year at the Roseneath fairgrounds. "Together they advocated for the agricultural industry at numerous trade shows and exhibits," Lawlor said. Wilce was a founding member of the ColborneCramahe Apple Blossom Tyme Festival and organized its vintage tractor, gas engine and farm machinery show for 27 years. Johnston served terms as secretary-treasurer and chair with the committee. Both were longtime directors with the Northumberland Federation of Agriculture, the group that nominated them for induction, with Wilce having served as president and Johnston vice-president. Wilce was the recipient of a Province of Ontario Volunteer Award and Johnston was chosen Citizen of the

Year by the Rotary Club of Colborne. This year she received an Order of Cramahe Award. In addition to being "an integral part of the farm operation," Johnston enjoyed a professional career as a veterinary technician and research assistant, Lawlor said. She also taught animal nursing at St. Lawrence College. She concluded her offfarm career as CEO of the Colborne Public Library, a position she held for 10 years before retiring in 1998. In an interview before the induction ceremony, Johnston said it's "really special" when one's peers nominate you for such an honour. She plans to remain active in her volunteer work. "It keeps me busy," she said. Johnston, who continues to live on the farm in "the suburbs of Shiloh," recently turned 69. "I didn't think I was going to make it," she said, citing various health issues she has had to deal with over the years, including pancreatic cancer two years ago. A third of her pancreas was removed, as was her spleen, and since then she's been cancer-free - "no chemotherapy, no radiation," she said. One other person was inducted Sept. 16, Lynn Ward, a resident of Prince Edward County, bringing the total number of inductees to around 70.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Terry Fox's dream of finding a cure for cancer is being kept alive by schools such as East Northumberland Secondary School that raise money for research. "You should be proud, ENSS, of your hard work," Karin Mackenzie-Russell, the school's new principal, told students at the school's annual Terry Fox assembly held Sept. 14. "Reaching the milliondollar mark (three years ago) and being one of the top schools in the country to make a difference is amazing." Mackenzie-Russell challenged the thousand people in the gym to make this year's Terry Fox Run "the best one yet." Teacher Julie Lange and her son and daughter described how cancer has touched their family. Lange's husband, Matthew, is fighting a rare form of cancer that caused a tumour to form on his appendix seven years ago. It ruptured, tearing his appendix off his colon,

leaving "a golf-sized hole," she said. Lange's son Anders said cancer of the appendix is so rare it's often referred to as one-in-a-million, with only 40 new cases being diagnosed in Canada each year. Her daughter Emily said her father "underwent the mother of all surgeries" to save his life in December 2015. It lasted 19and-a-half hours and was comparable to having "10 abdominal surgeries all at once." A year later he had to have the same surgery done again after a tumour was found growing near his bladder. Anders said his family's cancer journey continues today as his father must have CT scans done every six months. "We continue to hope and pray that there will be no more surgeries," he said. "As difficult and traumatic as my husband's surgeries have been ... they are probably not over (because) appendix cancer is not curable," Julie said. She encouraged her listeners to knock on doors,

email relatives and join the ENSS family in its fight against cancer by raising money for research. "The next life we help save could very well be someone sitting in this gymnasium," she said. Jordan Kuipers, an ENSS graduate who's an oncology nurse at Kingston General Hospital, said more than 200,000 new cases of cancer were diagnosed last year in Canada. The disease also claimed the lives of approximately 80,000 people. She spoke of the many advancements that have taken place in the treatment of cancer that are "pretty remarkable" and "constantly evolving." Kuipers said "it is truly incredible that funding for research has led to the development of stem cell transplants over the years" to treat leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. She noted some anticancer treatments are used to help people with other diseases. When she was 13, she received chemotherapy for a lifethreatening auto-immune disorder that resulted in

ENSS STUDENTS CHALLENGED TO MAKE THIS YEAR'S TERRY FOX RUN BEST EVER

John Campbell/Metroland Teacher Julie Lange and her children, Anders and Emily, described how cancer has affected their family in a big way. Lange's husband Matthew has a rare form of disease that attacks the appendix. severe nerve damage and weight loss, and rendered her unable to walk for more than eight months. "I cannot commend ENSS enough on the way

the students and staff here have always shown such determination and pride in helping others," Kuipers said. "I am certain that Terry would be extremely

proud to see the work that is being done here to support cancer research and the differences each and everyone of you is making in this world."

TRENT HILLS CANDIDATES IDENTIFY TOP PRIORITY AS WARD 1 COUNCILLORS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - The four people seeking election in Ward 1 were asked at last week's candidates meeting what their priority would be if they were chosen for one of the three spots on council. Rosemary KelleherMacLennan said it would be to make CampbellfordSeymour a "centre of excellence" by supporting Campbellford Memorial Hospital in its efforts to build a new hospital, and looking for "new opportunities to expand health and wellness services, related businesses and technology." The hospital is "a root that so much can grow from," she said. Growing the rural and urban sectors will create good jobs, attract new residents and businesses, keep taxes stable and increase the number of cus-

tomers for water and sewer services to help with the cost of their delivery. Gene Brahaney said his priority is to make "a concerted effort" to attract industry to Campbellford's business park and to ensure muchneeded housing units proposed in approved subdivision get built. He also wants the restoration of older homes to continue. Bob Fudge said it's important to understand how the municipality's "financial system" operates and the debt that's being carried so council members know what projects are affordable. He also wants something done for seniors who are financially strapped and need support. "Perhaps after paying taxes for 40 or 50 years ... they shouldn't have to pay for services," Fudge said.

Cathy Redden said her top priority would be to implement recommendations of the service delivery review not yet put into effect. Her "first task" would be the adoption of a community engagement and communications strategy to address the "disconnect" between residents and local government. "Some people feel a lack of confidence, others don't trust the process, and elected officials wonder why no one is getting involved," she said. "In many cases, it's not apathy, it's that they just don't know how to engage." The answer is "to ensure the lines of consultation are open between the policy-makers and the people they represent." With a plan in place, "we could build trust, understanding and even greater participation," Redden said.

MAN CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

northumberlandnews.com

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - A Clarington man has been charged with possession of child pornography as a result of a police investigation of an unrelated offence that occurred in Trent Hills in 2017. In the course of that investigation, members of the OPP executed numerous search warrants resulting in the seizure of computer equipment belonging to the accused. The computers were found to contain images "that met the definition of

child pornography" under the Criminal Code of Canada, Northumberland OPP media relations officer Const. Kimberly Johnston said in a news release. Following a lengthy investigation that began in June 2017, members of the OPP's Child Sexual Exploitation Unit and North-

umberland OPP's Community Street Crime Unit, under the direction of Det.-Insp. Matt Watson, arrested a 40 year-old male on Aug. 28, 2018. Daniel Joseph Castellano was held for a bail hearing and then released. He is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on Sept. 19.

Notice of Completion 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. By this Notice, the Schedule ‘B’ Report is being placed on public record for a thirty (30) day review period in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process. Interested persons may review this document and provide comments to the Municipality. Subject to comments received as a result of this Notice, funding opportunities, and the receipt of necessary approvals, the Municipality may then proceed with the works. The Schedule ‘B’ Report is available for review beginning on September 4, 2018. A copy of the complete Report available at the Brighton Municipal Offices, 35 Alice Street, Brighton, ON, K0K 1H0 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm).

Brighton - Two men have been charged with armed robbery in connection with the theft of drugs from Rexall PharmaPlus on Sept. 10. The pair, both from Quinte West, were taken into custody Sept. 12 as a result of an ongoing investigation by members of Northumberland OPP's Crime Unit, assisted by the East Community Street Crime Unit. Members of the OPP's Tactical Response Unit, Emergency Response Team and the Central Community Street Crime Unit assisted in making the arrest. Hubert Pollard, 39, and Dale Woodall, 55, were also charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, possession of a weapon, and use of an imitation firearm. Pollard was also charged with four counts of failing to comply and Woodall two counts for the same offence. Two men entered the Main Street pharmacy through the rear entrance shortly after 2 p.m. They exited the same way after demanding and receiving drugs at the counter where prescriptions are handled. The two suspects wore handkerchiefs over their lower face and reportedly carried handguns.

"VALUE IS THE INFORMATION WE ARE OFFICIALS APPROVE SAVING THROUGH DOCUMENTATION" LARGE PAY INCREASE FOR BRIGHTON'S NEXT COUNCIL MARLENE SMITH

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Members of the next council will be given large increases in remuneration, thanks to those currently holding office. Council voted this week in favour of the pay raises on the recommendation of chief administrative officer Gary King who prepared a report showing the salaries of Brighton's elected officials "lag behind the averages" paid their peers in municipalities of comparable size or similar nature (socio-economic conditions and rural-urban mix). The pay raises also compensate for the federal government's elimination of the tax-free exemption for one-third of the remuneration that council members receive which is to take effect Jan. 1, 2019. Under Brighton's current pay structure, the mayor is paid $28,753, the deputy mayor $17,512 and councillors $14,670, which is "less than you should be," King said. The average salary paid mayors and councillors in Eastern Ontario, according to a survey carried out by the Association of Municipal Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario, is $30,129 and $16,090 respec-

tively. King used information collected in an Association of Municipalities of Ontario survey and recent reports from other municipalities to determine the average salary for the position of deputy mayor is $22,283. He recommended increasing the mayor's salary by $2,682 to $31,436 in 2019 (a nine per cent increase), the deputy mayor's salary by $7,159 to $24,671 (40 per cent), and councillors' salaries by $1,809 to $16,479 (12 per cent). King pointed out there are municipalities with "significantly smaller populations" that are paying its elected officials more than Brighton does with 11,844 people. Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Township, for example, with 4,530 residents, pays its mayor $27,878, deputy mayor $20,878 and councillors $19,878. Councillors Laura Vink, Brian Ostrander and John Martinello all admitted to feeling "uncomfortable" being asked to approve pay raises but Vink and Ostrander said they were in favour of the recommended increases as it will be the next council that benefits. Martinello said the new

council should be to one to decide. "It would be even more unfair to leave this to the next council," Ostrander countered. "None of us know if we're going to be around this table come Dec. 1 and I think it would be wise to do the best we can to set those people up for success." King also recommended a small adjustment be made in the per diem rate paid council members for attending meetings. It would remain at $60 but go up from $100 to $120 for meetings that go beyond three hours (Cobourg pays $200 and Trent Hills $150 for longer meetings). The CAO estimated the increases overall will add approximately $22,250 to next year's budget. King, whose report noted the salaries had not been reviewed in any comprehensive way since 2009, said they should have been looked at "with more regularity." Council agreed to his recommendation that a comprehensive review be done in the next term (20192022), preferably during council's third year in office. Members' salaries are to be adjusted annually based on increases in the Consumer Price Index.

That is a quote from Dan Buchanan, (the History Man) given to us at our Community York Road Women's Institute meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 5. The members of York Road W.I. had discussed digital archiving about two years ago. Then a year ago Dan was contacted by Margaret Whittaker and their collaboration began. Margaret Whittaker represented York Road's Tweedsmuir History and W.I. District Tweedsmuir for four years. Marg has released 12 scrapbooks to Dan and still has 20+ books and 17 'Minute' books dating from the 1930s to date. Marg has documented events involving York Road W.I., with programmes, conventions, births, deaths and weddings pertaining to members and their families.

Dan said the books were clean and organized in binders, scrap and plastic folders. Dan noted that documents that have 'hand written' notations that are valuable. Dan picks up 6 to 7 books at a time. Dan is very passionate history writer and we felt his enthusiasm with his presentation. Dan showed us the steps he is taking to digitize our books and putting them on a 'storage device'. Dan is still processing York Road's books because it is a tedious job, but one that he says he is enjoying. It takes time because he finds the information that has been saved is educational, fascinating and ex-

INSPIRATIONAL WRITER AND SPEAKER HAS GONE FROM 'VICTIM TO VICTOR' JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - Growing up poor in northern Ontario, the youngest of seven children in a dysfunctional family troubled by alcoholism, Grace Gayle suffered abuse of all kinds. At age six she was the victim of a violent assault that left her severely traumatized. The isolation she experienced at the hospital only made the situation worse. "I stopped feeling, I buried the pain," she wrote in her book, From Victim to Victor, A Personal Healing Journey, published in 2012. "However the wound was still there; it just showed itself in different ways. Terror and fear plagued me but I masked my emotions." She became "the type of needy, affection-starved child who is often easy prey for paedophiles. Such incidences robbed me of my self-worth. The longlasting effects of such experiences crippled me in many of my adult relationships." Gayle, who's now 64, later married and when she and her husband, Paul McMullen, 69, teetered on bankruptcy, they were forced to move into a gov-

ernment housing complex in Toronto. She turned "a bad experience into a fruitful one" by starting a local Good News Club with Child Evangelism Fellowship. By the end of the first year there were 80 children enrolled in two clubs. McMullen attended Bible College and became a chaplain. After drug dealers in the community, opposed to the couple's ministry, made threats on their lives, Gayle's health began to fail. She showed signs of being "burnt-out, carrying all this baggage," from her past and what was then happening, she said in an interview. In 1990 she "plummeted into depression" after her brother died, and she and could no longer continue with the daycare she had been running in her home. She also had to give up the ministry. A short stay in the psychiatric ward, along with extensive counselling, reaffirmed her faith in God. Her healing journey lasted five years. Gayle subsequently wrote From Victim to Victor and founded Healing Our Brokenness Ministries, the umbrella for her writing and speaking,

John Campbell/Metroland Married 41 years, Grace Gayle and Paul McMullen devote their lives these days to helping others overcome emotional wounds. through which she helps individuals deal with depression, oppression, low self-esteem, codependency and other issues. She's also written a series of books, Healing Emotional Wounds, pub-

lished in 2017 and available for purchase on Amazon. Last year, Gayle led two multi-week sessions on overcoming emotional wounds, at Evangel Pentecostal Church.

More are scheduled, starting Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. They're 90-minute "hope seminars" that will cover depression, brokenness and grief, over a four-week period, she said. There is no charge to at-

tend. The seminars have a Christian theme, but there's "a whole lot more on the emotional aspect," Gayle said. "It's not Biblethumping ... (although) I might throw in a verse or two per week. It's basically helping (attendees) understand where they're coming from and how they can get out of there." "We're not there to proselytize, by any means," McMullen said. "It's instruction." To learn more, visit www.healingemotionalwounds.org or www.healingourbrokenness.com. You can also email gracegayle@cogeco.ca. Gayle said "a lot of people want you to fix them ... who don't want to go through the pain." But "you have to be willing to do the work," to move beyond what is "a temporary situation," she said. The past "doesn't have to define your future," Gayle said. "You don't have to be stuck in the mud. You can dig yourself out of the hole and move forward." The couple have also produced several pamphlets on healing brokenness and emotional wounds. People have found them "very, very helpful," McMullen said.

LIONS CLUB DONATION PUSHES SKATE PARK FUNDRAISER CLOSER TO GOAL northumberlandnews.com

ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com A Brighton Lions Club donation is helping raise the temperature on the fundraising thermometer next to the Skate Park. The $805 contribution was turned over to Tania Light of the Brighton Skate Park Committee at the club's Sept. 10 meeting. "Our fundraising goal

for this project is $250,000. We are currently at $61,000 and this donation will add to that total," said Light. "The Brighton Lions Club has committed their time and assistance to help move this project forward. They worked with us during the Canada Day 50/50 draw and regularly give us space to display our information to the public. They have been a great partner,

giving of their time and talents." The Brighton Lions Club raised these dollars by selling French fries during the Concerts in the Park season over this summer. "I want to say thank you to George and Kathy McCormack with their Harry's Hots hotdog cart, they also attended events and donated proceeds to this

project too," said Keith Smith, Lions member. "We also accepted a $200 donation from an anonymous donor who wanted to contribute." "The skate pad is still viable, the idea is to revamp the skateboard obstacles and expand it to accommodate different sports like BMX bikes and scooters. We have enough money to proceed with a design RFP

(request for proposal), this will take place in the spring," added Light. "We will be involving the public in this design process, working with the schools and young people in the community to get their input."

ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com Municipal voters in Ward 2 (Percy) of Trent Hills had the chance to learn more about their three councillor candidates; Rick English, Ken Tully and Sandra Walls at a meeting hosted by the Trent Hills Chamber of Commerce at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 380 in Warkworth last week. "We are hosting a meeting in each ward to hear from the candidates running for ward councillorseats, followed by a meeting at a later date with the mayoral candidates," said Lori Schuett, chamber chair. "This format change will increase the interaction between the public and the candidates that will be elected to represent each ward." "As a Trent Hills organization we recognize the need to preserve and value the individual identity of each ward while thriving within the greater community of Trent Hills," added

Alicia Vandine/Metroland Trent Hills' Ward 2 candidates (left to right) Sandra Walls, Rick English and Ken Tully enjoy a lighthearted moment prior to their debate. Schuett. Each candidate outlined their priorities, here are some highlights: "Strong communications that build trust and respect are essential," said Sandra Walls. "We must also remember that we can't have champagne tastes on

a beer budget. We must put our needs first and our wants second." "We need to increase dialogue with the provincial and federal governments," said Rick English. "I am concerned about sustainable funding. We have received some grants but it is

rare to get full funding. I want to invite and promote meeting with representatives from these upper government levels so that our voice is heard." "We have been working

on a municipal service delivery review that examined, water and wastewater systems, administration, corporate services, road maintenance, parks and recreation, planning,

community development and fire protection. As a result of this review, we made some immediate efficiency improvements in some of these areas and other improvements that were identified will be phased in over the next few years," said Ken Tully. "Let me finish the work that we have already started." Municipal election voting period is Monday, Oct. 15 to Monday, Oct. 22, 2018. For more voting information go to www.trenthills.ca/en/elections/ elections-2018.aspx or contact the Municipal Elections Helpline at 705-6531900, ext. 300.

NORCUTT, David Hubert Graham August 3, 1940 - September 6, 2018 Graham passed quietly at Northumberland Hills Hospital on September 6, 2018, in his 79th year. He was predeceased by his parents, David Norcutt and Catherine Norcutt (nee Palmer), and his beloved wife, Carol (nee Black). Graham leaves one son, William Edward Norcutt, and a wide circle of friends, to mourn his passing. Graham had a rich life and lived it ever as a gentleman. He was born in the Philippines, where his father was an RAF pilot during WWII. He and his mother fled the Japanese to Australia, where they ended up on an isolated sheep station. As a boy he took his schooling over the radio and began a life long love affair with books. He won a scholarship to Oxford, England. He began his career with IBM, and then worked in the computer industry for many years. Graham opened the first retail computer store in Cobourg, years ahead of his time. Although he dated the daughter of an Earl, he met and married the love of his life in Canada. Graham’s final decades were spent in the “Old Oriental Hotel” in Castleton, which was converted from a bank into the family home. Graham was passionate about community and heritage. He served as the Executive Director of the Cobourg Chamber of Commerce, and spent many years as a Rotarian and with Probus, as well as helping form the first Board of The Mill at Piper Creek Arts and Heritage Centre in Castleton. A generous man throughout his life, Graham has divided his entire estate amongst a number of charities, most of them local. In lieu of flowers, gifts in his name may be made to the Castleton Sports Club or Northumberland Hills Hospital. A Celebration of Graham’s Life will be held at Castleton United Church, 1815 Percy Street, Castleton at 2:30 pm on Friday, September 28, 2018. Following the service, Graham’s ashes will be laid to rest beside Carol in Castleton Cemetery, with a reception to follow at the Church. Condolences received at www.MacCoubrey.com

HUMAN TRAFFICKING FOCUS OF MEETING ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com Unlike trafficking in drugs or weapons, human trafficking is a criminal activity that can be committed again and again with the same person, perpetuating the issue and having astronomical negative impacts on the victim and society as a whole. The Brighton Lions Club will host Const. Danielle McKeen, who will give a presentation on this subject and how it is occurring along the Hwy. 401 corridor, during the club's upcoming meeting on Monday, Sept. 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the King Edward Park Arena Community Centre. Const. McKeen has just recently accepted the position of co-chair of the Human Trafficking Response Committee. This committee's goal is to decrease the number of victims of human trafficking through collaborative education, awareness and prevention initiatives within Northumberland County. "Victims of human trafficking often do not come forward on their own for various reasons including fear for their lives or the lives of their loved ones, an ideology of distrust of others and not understanding that they are victims," said Jane Lang, Manager of Community Services at the Cornerstone Family Violence Prevention Centre. "This is why it is so important that all members of the community who may come into contact with potential victims are educated and aware of what human trafficking looks like, the signs of a person who is being trafficked and the risk factors associated with this." For more information, contact Art Heeney, president of the Brighton Lions, at (613) 475-9366.
