TRIBUNAL DECISION SUPPORTS CONDO DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL RULING RECEIVES MIXED REVIEWS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) has ruled in favour of the numbered company owned by Mayor Mark Walas
and approved amendments to the Official Plan and zoning bylaw that will allow his proposed development off Young Street to proceed. 952849 Ontario Limited had requested the amendments in order to build a three-storey 14-unit apartment building and a fourunit townhouse but council turned down the applications in November 2017. This despite a recommen-
dation by the municipality's manager of planning, building and community development at the time, Stephen Ashton, that they be approved subject to certain conditions. Council's refusal led to a hearing being held at Codrington last May. In a 43-page decision delivered this month, tribunal member Thomas Hodgins said the "persua-
sive evidence" provided by Ashton, Steve Harvey, a municipal and transportation engineer and Shawn Legere, a land use planning and urban design expert, "was more complete and convincing" than the evidence given by Bob Clark, the consultant the municipality had hired to defend council's

decision, and the six residents who spoke against the proposal. Hodgins said the tribunal "is not convinced that there are technical concerns" with vehicular traffic, servicing, grading and appropriate stormwater control on the site. However the tribunal agreed with concerns raised about the lack of municipal sidewalks to serve the site, which the applicant had not adequately addressed. It ordered "a safe, workable plan" be put in place to address the deficiency as a condition of the change in zoning. The tribunal's ruling didn't sit well with Mary and Owen Gibb, whose property on North Street will be adjacent to the apartment building and two semi-detached buildings (the site plan was revised after a public meeting). Mary Gibb said it appeared the consultant hired by the municipality to argue
its case "was insufficiently prepared and insufficiently qualified." If "we had known how unprepared (and) unqualified (he) was, we could have hired an engineer ourselves, and even had our own studies done," she said. "It probably would have cost less than the amount of money we will now lose in the value of our home," which the couple has owned for 55 years. The Gibbs questioned housing units being built on land that has water problems in the spring and whenever there are heavy rains. Walas, who has recused himself whenever matters concerning his developments come before council, declined to comment and referred questions to the lawyer who represented him at the tribunal hearing, Patrick Harrington. "We are obviously very pleased with the L Pat's decision," Harrington said in an email sent Monday. The tribunal concluded the development represents "an ap-
propriate increase in density that has been designed with careful consideration to its potential impacts to the surrounding community." Harrington said "evidence of a demonstrable need in the municipality for the type of accessible, affordable apartment housing being proposed" was provided at the hearing. One of the key issues revolved around pedestrian traffic. The Gibbs and others pointed out that residents of the new housing units will have to cross Young Street to get to the sidewalk that leads into the downtown. The "alignment of the road in this area can make it difficult for drivers to see or
His client will have a study done to determine if the existing sidewalks "will adequately service the development," and if they don't, "what improvements may be necessary." "As for who pays the cost of the improvements, that will likely depend on what percentage of the need for
improvements is attributable to the Proctor Park development versus what improvements are needed to serve the existing public and/or future growth," Harrington said. "Usually this gets reviewed and determined as part of a Development Charge Background Study."

anticipate pedestrians crossing at the existing crosswalk," Harrington acknowledged. "Part of the proposal includes providing a sidewalk along the frontage of the development site." Mary Gibb said "the developer might get away with only paying for a sidewalk" in front of one housing unit. "This does not seem right," she said. The tribunal suggested the developer "contribute to the cost but didn't say how much." Extending the sidewalk on the west side of the road is at "the discretion of council and likely depends on how much room there is in the municipal right-of-way," Harrington responded.

OPINION EDITORIAL
MENTAL ILLNESS AWARENESS WEEK AIMS TO END THE STIGMA Mental Illness Awareness Week in Canada is marked from Sept. 30 to Oct. 6 and is about raising awareness and ending the stigma surrounding mental illness. With one in five Canadians experiencing a mental health illness or challenge every year, taking care of and being mindful of mental health are musts. In Northumberland, there's a free upcoming event this month entitled 'Taking Charge of Your Mental Health' featuring wellness expert Nova Browning Rutherford. At Cobourg Collegiate Institute on Saturday, Sept. 29, the event is co-hosted by the Kawartha Pine Ridge Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO), the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) District 14. Browning Rutherford, a life coach and wellness expert, will lead an afternoon talk focusing on mental health, self-care and empowerment that is open to all community members, parents and educators. "From anxiety and stress, to difficult emotions and a world that never seems to stop moving, taking care of your mental health has never been more important," the teachers' federation said. And in the midst of Mental Illness Awareness Week, a Northumberland community organization dedicated to helping those with mental illness is reaching out to the community to purchase chrysanthemums during a fundraiser this month. The Northumberland Community Counselling Centre has been flying the flag for those with mental illness in our communities. But currently the centre is seeking a financial boost in order to keep up with the increasing demand for its services. In fact, the need for the mental health support that the non-profit organization provides has tripled in the last three years, jumping from about 20 referrals per month to averaging about 60 referrals per month. Moreover, the wait list at the centre is the highest it has ever been. The centre's focus is helping people struggling with mild to moderate mental health issues. Services range from help with depression and anxiety, to help with behavioural issues and anger management. For those with more than moderate needs, the centre works with 30-plus agencies to get those residents the help they need. The centre's staff also attempt to help people in the early stages of mental illness, so escalation is less likely and fewer people find themselves in crisis. Whether it's attending a seminar or purchasing a chrysanthemum plant for an organization providing mental health services, we can all bring something to bear on creating a community where mental illness is not stigmatized and providing timely services is a priority.

FORD GOVERNMENT ACTED QUICKLY TO RIGHT A LONG-STANDING WRONG MOVE TO TRIM TORONTO COUNCIL'S RANKS COULD HAVE CONSEQUENCES ACROSS PROVINCE Kudos to Premier Doug Ford and his team of MPPs for acting so swiftly when confronted with evidence of a monstrous inequity. Within weeks of taking office they learned to their dismay there are 2.9 million people living in Toronto and 47 members on council! You can imagine the shock when the new government did the math - division is its strong suit - and determined each elected official in Canada's largest city represents, on average, 61,700 citizens. How this unsettling fact came to light only recently and not during the election campaign when it surely would have become the No. 1 issue is a matter of conjecture but Ontarians should

be grateful to the person who belatedly brought it to the attention of the premier soon after his taking office. (One envisions that bolt out of the blue arriving by way of a brown manila envelope being slipped under the door of the premier. Or perhaps it was a Post-it note reminding the former Toronto councillor just how many superfluous colleagues he once 'worked' with, which probably caused him to smack his forehead for being so forgetful. ) To his credit Ford moved quickly to alter Toronto's electoral map. His answer was to trim the number of wards to 25. 'Shear' gall, critics cried. But the premier would not to be denied. He was even prepared to invoke the
nuclear option of the notwithstanding clause in Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, if necessary, to get his way, so urgent was the situation with a municipal election just weeks away. Fortunately for the government, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in its favour. The next four years will be instructive. If the province's capital functions much better with fewer hands on deck, Ford will feel compelled to look at all municipalities to determine if they also wouldn't be better served with smaller councils. Many, such as Brighton and Trent Hills, have seven members. Couldn't three work just as well, as a tribunal? We'll leave it to those who gather over morning coffees to commence the debate. Keep it civil, folks. John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - "No neighbourhood is safe from development especially if we have a developer on council," says Mary Gibb, who suggests it could be "much of the reason for dissent on council." Gibb was one of six people who spoke at a Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (formerly known as the Ontario Municipal Board or OMB) against a housing development proposed by a numbered company that Mayor Mark Walas owns. The tribunal upheld its appeals of council's decision not to allow the project to go forward. Patrick Harrington, the lawyer who represents Walas, said it's "not unusual to have sitting members of municipal councils throughout Ontario become personally involved in land development," and Walas has recused himself every time
his Proctor Park condo project is discussed at council. The problem that led to a hearing being held was that the balance of council members chose "not follow the professional advice of either the applicant's consultants or the municipality's own staff," he said in an email. Any time a council does that, it's "appropriate to ask why." Harrington also found it "interesting" that the interim control bylaw adopted by council was seen by the tribunal as "an attempt to inappropriately complicate matters" and set "another hurdle (to) frustrate" its decision-making authority. The tribunal exempted the site from the interim control bylaw. Harrington said "the project wasn't the real problem - it was the proponent behind the project. And that's a shame because ultimately it is
the taxpayer that foots the bill for that type of opposition." Coun. Brian Ostrander, who's bidding to oust Walas as mayor in next month's municipal election, was disappointed by the LPAT ruling. "We'll have to live with that decision," he said. Saying he was "always concerned with putting a condominium development in people's backyards," Ostrander said his preference was that the mayor purchase three additional properties along Young Street and have the development front right on the street rather than be tucked in behind them. "I understand that there's a cost to that but in my opinion there's appropriate development and what we're getting," he said. Ostrander reiterated his belief that having a
mayor who is a developer is "problematic for council as we endeavour to make good decisions on behalf of the community." When the head of the municipality isn't available to take part in decisions because of a conflict of interest and those instances add up, council members "wonder if we're doing the right thing for the municipality, or are we doing it because so-and-so is the head of council. I just find it concerning and problematic." Harrington expressed
THE QUESTION: DOES THE FACT THE MAYOR IS ALSO A DEVELOPER PRESENT PROBLEMS IN BRIGHTON? THE CONCLUSION: RESIDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THEIR SAY IN NEXT MONTH'S ELECTION hope that with the tribunal ruling and "the municipal election cycle coming to an end ... the Proctor Park project will

COMMUNITY
BRIGHTON'S OWN: BUSY MIDWIFE AND ALPACA RANCHER SARAH MURTHA HAS 'BOUNDLESS LOVE OF CARETAKING', COLUMNIST VIC SCHUKOV WRITES
northumberlandnews.com
VIC SCHUKOV Column
If you think it takes a very special person to be a midwife, you would have your proof after a chat with Sarah Murtha. Born and raised in Brighton, Murtha garners a sparkling personality, a natural affinity for joyful laughter and a boundless love of caretaking in the deepest sense. Not surprisingly, she has raised three children from a relatively young age. In 2001, her sister had a baby through midwifery. "I thought this is really amazing. It was the first time I had heard of someone using a midwife. I was in the hospital at the time she gave birth, so I kind of got to know what the care is all about. The government of Ontario officially registered the skilled profession starting in 1994. "I looked at the program back when it was still fairly new for midwives in Ontario to be registered. In 2007, I decided to give it a go and see if I could get into Ryerson (one of only three Ontario universities that offer the health science degree). I got in the first time out. They select only 30 a year through a big interview process. "By the time I graduated, I had caught (yes, you read that right: it's the term they use) over 140 babies. The experience you get when you are in the hospital catching eight babies a night is cool. After my first delivery, I was in awe, amazed
I was doing this. Someone was letting me catch their baby." "The continuity between mother and midwife is what I love. These women and families we meet at 10 weeks, we see through the whole pregnancy and with them when they have the baby and take care of them for six weeks in postpartum. We start home visits the first week after birth. We weigh their baby and make sure he/she is gaining, making sure the mum is well, and seeing if there are any postpartum depression issues to deal with." Murtha and her husband have a country home with a sheepdog, a Great Dane, two goats and six constantly smiling alpacas.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Castleton - Yarns at the Mill exceeded organizers' expectations for an inaugural event and that's no yarn but an absolute fact. "I'm feeling euphoric," said Candace Cox, cofounder of The Mill at Piper Creek, the federally incorporated not-for-profit that hosted the Sept. 22 event. "We couldn't have asked for anything better." She estimated the festival, which featured fibre art workshops and demonstrations, live music, an art exhibition and tours of the former mill that Cox and her husband Mitch are restoring, was attended by at
least 500 people, including vendors and volunteers. Organizers were a bit worried about what sort of response the festival would receive from local residents but she was pleased to learn that "everyone was just thrilled that the village came to life." The event was made possible with a seed grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Despite the festival's good showing in its debut "we won't have made money on this," Cox said. But that wasn't the point anyway, it was "to find ways to engage the rest of the community," she said. Cox, The Mill's artistic director, said she and the board's members, whose
ranks include artists, "ran it like a theatre production. We just applied what we knew how to do. We had a lot of fun." "Already we have ideas about how we can expand for next year," she said. The art exhibition at Castleton Town Hall included a display of quilts, the largest one being a Curve Lake First Nations Truth and Reconciliation Quilt created by survivors of Canada's notorious residential schools. Each of the 24 panels tells a story by those with first-hand knowledge of what took place in the schools decades ago. Cox and her husband plan to turn the 19th century Purdy Mill into a performing and visual arts centre as well as a place where local heritage is preserved and accessible to the public.

CODRINGTON FARMERS' MARKET ADDS ARTISAN MARKETPLACE ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com If you have travelled north on Highway 30 on a Sunday, chances are you saw the Codrington Farmers' Market at the Codrington Civic Centre. This is a great time of year for farmers' markets like this. The seasons overlap and you can still get many of the summer offerings like corn, tomatoes and peppers, but you can also find the autumn harvest items like apples, late potatoes, carrots, garlic, beets, cabbage and cauliflower. The Codrington Farmers' Market will also include in the mix an
artisan marketplace on the last Sunday of September, October and November. Just like the food vendors, local artisans from a 40-kilometre radius will be on-site around the market and inside the Codrington Community Centre from 10 a.m. 2 p.m. These vendors will be showcasing their homemade crafts and artwork. "It will be a great place to find some unique Christmas gifts," said Margaret Appleby, president of the Codrington Farmers' Market. "These artists, along with our seasonal vendors, will be showcasing
all the wonderful products available in our local area. "There is no charge to go into the centre, it's absolutely free to attend the artisan market," she added. The Codrington Farmers' Market runs outside the Codrington Community Centre every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. until the end of October and then some of the vendors will move inside the centre for the month of November. For more information about the Codrington Farmers' Market, please visit www.warkworth.ca/codringtonfarmers-market/.

TRENT HILLS CANDIDATE BOB FUDGE SAYS NEW BRIDGE IN CAMPBELLFORD NOT 'A DEAD ISSUE' JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com The following is part of an ongoing series of candidate profiles for the upcoming municipal election. Trent Hills - Bob Fudge is looking to get "a little closer to the action" by winning a seat on council as a Ward 1 (Campbellford-Seymour) representative. He's lowered his sights since 2010 when he tried unsuccessfully to unseat Hector Macmillan as mayor. Fudge knows "the ins and outs" of how municipalities operate, having worked as an employee and served as an elected official. He worked 35 years for the Region of Durham, ris-
ing to the level of project manager and chief surveyor. He also served on councils in Hope Township and Port Hope, as well as Northumberland County when he was the deputy reeve of the township. Fudge says he "would like to see more detailed accounting" if elected. "I'm not saying there's anything wrong, I'm just saying that it would be nice if there was a little more detail put into simplistic terms for the general public," he said. He wonders how much money is being spent on interest fees for borrowing that could be better spent on other budget items. He would have "a good look at it and ... see if they
can cut back a little bit," Fudge said. "I have a lot of sympathy and empathy for the people on fixed incomes." Fudge, who's currently employed as a senior construction administrator by a civil engineering firm, still takes issue with Northumberland County's decision to build a bridge in Campbellford some day from Grand Road to Second Street. "I know people in the community think that's a dead issue and it's gone away," he said. But as far as he's concerned it's been "put on the back burner for a while," and can be brought up for debate again. His preference is a recommendation by the Mc-
Cormick Rankin Corporation that a third lane be added to the existing bridge to allow for lefthand turns at each end. "Council would be wise to take the dust off the jacket (of the report) and have a look," Fudge said, even though the bridge is under county jurisdiction. "I don't think (the file) would be hard to open at all," in order for another review to be done. "It was a superior design (that) was beneficial to the town (and) county," he said. "All it takes is (for) the politicians of the day to say we're going to have a look at this."
John Campbell/Metroland Bob Fudge says a new bridge in Campbellford isn't "a dead issue," even though Northumberland County has chosen a design and site. Fudge said "there's change in the air ... Maybe it's time we had some fresh thinking (on council)." When it comes to being involved in the community, "I can't think of a time I

TIME OF TRANSITION FOR BRIGHTON ROTARY EXCHANGE STUDENTS STEVE BLAKEY August was a month of transition for Rotary Exchange students. One returns home to Brighton, another leaves for Taiwan, and another arrives to live in our community for a year. On Aug. 17, we welcomed our newest inbound exchange student to Brighton. Eloisa del Costa is from Brazil and is attending East Northumberland Secondary School this year. Eloisa is from a small town of about 40,000 called Presidente Venceslau, in the state of São Paulo. She is here to learn and to serve our community while sharing her own culture with us.
At the same time, we welcomed back Abby McDougal, who returned this summer from a year in northern France. She shared with us some highlights of her "incredible year." She told us there were challenges at times but she overcame those, and created great friendships and saw a lot of Europe. We also said goodbye to
our outbound student, Rochelle, who left Brighton to live in Taiwan for a year. We wish Rochelle success as she transitions to a very new culture, family, schooling and way of life. Exchange students unlock their true potential to: • Develop lifelong leadership skills • Learn a new language and culture • Build lasting friendships with young people from around the world • Become a global citizen Exchanges for students 15 to 19 years old are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries. We will soon be recruiting a future exchange student at East Northumberland Secondary School; watch for the announcements at school. If you are interested in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, either as a student, or as a host family, contact a Rotarian. Brighton Rotarians participated in: • Food drive at No Frills, Aug. 10, to support the local food ban.

LEGION SELLING CANDLES FOR OVERNIGHT VIGIL JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Legion Branch 100 launched its sale of candles for the Nov. 10 vigil at the Cenotaph by once again inviting Mayor Mark Walas to purchase the first one during Legion Week. Walas paid tribute to the contributions made to the Brighton community by legion members through their volunteer work. "Anyone who buys a candle can either carry the candle up themselves from the back door of the legion up to the Cenotaph," or have an army cadet or legion member carry it if they are incapacitated, Terry Arnott said. The candles are laid around the monument and watched overnight by local army cadets. The candles are $5 each and sold at various locations around town and legion members will be selling them at this weekend's Applefest. This is the 10th year for their sale, which averages about 500 annually. "It's very important, all proceeds go to the veterans," said Stew Sharp, president of the legion branch. "It's a fantastic ceremony," that gets underway at 7 p.m., he said. northumberlandnews.com

Rules & Tips Tie your brush into bundles no longer than 3 ft., and with no material larger than 2'' diameter. There is no limit to the number of paper leaf & yard waste bags or bundles of brush for collection.
Leaves that are not in paper yard waste bags will not be picked up.
Roll tops of the bag shut. Rolling the top sheds the rain and snow and prevents leaves from falling or blowing out Only use paper yard waste bags. Paper yard waste bags are available at most local hardware stores and building centres. Please do not include: garbage, litter, animal feces, or soil.
