MAYOR HOPES TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK BY MONTH'S END Continued from page 1
the downtown (August 2019), • policies that require developers to build affordable housing units (March 2020), • efforts to facilitate redevelopment of the former gas station at the corner of Prince Edward and Elizabeth streets (May 2022), • construction of an emergency services station for firefighters and paramedics (September 2021), • advocacy for rail service/ stop (June 2025), • a study of a ward system for the 2022 municipal election (December 2021), • space for a new senior dropin centre, • an outdoor skating rink (December 2025). The most immediate goal is to decide if Brighton wants a cannabis retail store locally. "My hope is that we'll have comments back to us before the end of January so we can (schedule) another strategic planning session based on those comments, and have something finalized before the end of February, to give staff and council something to budget for," Mayor Brian Ostrander said. The last strategic plan was done in 2011. The municipality is experiencing "pressures" related to asset and finance management "that we know we need to be on top of," to satisfy newer provincial legislation, and to demonstrate "general accountability," he said. Council held a special meeting in mid-December to go over the strategic plan. The eight-page document identifies the municipality's strengths: good policies and plans, well-maintained capital assets, experienced, hard-working staff, and "a dedicated base of retirees" ready to utilize their ex-
pertise "in a volunteer capacity." It also lists Brighton's weaknesses: needed upgrades to infrastructure, critical positions in management that remain unfilled, lack of community engagement, loss of partnerships with local businesses and regional organizations, and "a concern with emergency response time in the south part of Brighton," when trains are passing through town. "There's momentum to create some sort of grade separation/ overpass across the railroad tracks in a location that makes a little more sense than downtown Brighton," Ostrander said. "We know that's a long long-term project but if that is something the community would like us to move forward with, we know we need to do the studies and begin the process now so we can have a plan in place." The last time grade separation was discussed in Brighton, it was for the railway crossing at Prince Edward Street but it would have cost many millions of dollars and created a major disruption, he said. "It makes some sense to push that potential bridge to another part of the community that doesn't have all that mega-infrastructure under the ground," Ostrander said. The plan identifies several opportunities. One involves establishing partnerships locally and regionally to make better use of resources, boost tourism and bolster economic development. The threats include tax revenues that draw heavily on residential properties, neighbouring communities that "are well positioned to attract staff, businesses and aging residents," and "populism on the rise and a local demographic with high expectations of service." Any comments about the plan are to be returned to the clerk's office at cdoiron@brighton.ca.
PROPOSED TRENT HILLS BUDGET FORECASTS MODEST TAX INCREASE JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - Municipal staff have put together a draft budget that estimates spending for local purposes will go up by 10 per cent to around $21 million in 2019. However, the amount of taxes Trent Hills will require to help pay for those expenditures will need to increase by just 5.5 per cent to roughly $13 million, because nontax revenue (fees, charges, reserves and grants) is expected to rise by 18.6 per cent to around $8 million. The bottom line for residential property owners is an increase of $3.93 for every $100,000 a property is worth, or .5 per cent, director of finance and treasurer Valerie Nesbitt stated in a report to council at its Dec. 18 meeting. For a residential property taxed at $225,000 in 2018 and again in 2019, the increase adds up to an additional $8.83, or 1.1 per cent, and raises the bill for municipal expenditures alone to $1,772.45 (it does not include taxes collected for boards of education and Northumberland County). If the same residential property were reassessed at $230,000 for taxation in 2019, the result would be an increase of $48.21, or two per cent. Nesbitt pointed out various areas where the municipality will be incurring higher costs. They include making changes in wages

and salaries based on recommendations contained in a confidential final report of a compensation review conducted by Gallagher McDowall Associates. Council, after discussing the report behind closed doors at its Nov. 20 meeting, adopted the revised five-step salary grid for non-union positions and the adjusted job rates for union positions that the report had recommended. Nesbitt noted in her budget document that compensation levels had not been reviewed since 2008 nor pay equity since 2004. Comment from council and the public will be received until Jan. 4, after which the budget will be presented for approval at the Jan. 15 meeting. The budget can be viewed on the municipal website at www.trenthills.ca. Staff have proposed spending $4.2 million on capital projects and they're counting on almost $961,000 in grants to cover what reserve funds and taxes won't. Big ticket items include $1.2 mil-

OPINION EDITORIAL
TOP FUNDRAISERS HONOURED
IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR A FLU SHOT It's not too late to get the flu shot. Seasonal flu viruses can be detected year-round; however, seasonal flu activity often begins as early as October and November and can continue to occur as late as May. It peaks between December and February. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies that protect against flu to develop in the body. The Centre for Disease Control recommends that people get a flu vaccine by the end of October, but getting vaccinated later, can still be beneficial - even into January or later. The timing of flu is unpredictable and can vary in different parts of the country and from season to season. Flu vaccines provide adults and children with active immunity against the influenza virus. There is a new flu vaccine produced each year to protect against the strains of influenza most likely to circulate during the flu season according the World Health Organization, notes the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. Colds tend to produce runny nose, congestion, and sore throat. Influenza is more pronounced in that it infects the lungs, the joints and causes pneumonia, respiratory failure and even death. The health unit calls the flu a serious viral illness, which also results in fever, cough, headache, muscle soreness, sore throat and stuffy nose. The flu may also cause other illnesses to become worse, in particular those which involve the heart or lungs. All that hacking and sneezing helps the virus spread its tentacles easily. The health unit advises those who aren't sick to avoid contact with those who are and to wash their hands frequently. To those who are sick, the suggestion is to stay at home - avoid workplaces and crowded locations, cover your face when coughing and sneezing and wash hands often. To the workaholics, perhaps putting your feet up and resting under some blankets will not only benefit you, but also the co-workers. Another way the virus is dispersed from one person to another is via direct contact with, according to the health unit, surfaces or objects such as clothing, toys, eating utensils, all of which can carry germs. Cleaning areas of the home that may be touched often will limit any transfer of germs - areas such as doorknobs and counters. And of course, for those who have not received their flu vaccine for this year, there is still time. Those wishing to get their shot have the option of calling their doctor or attending certain pharmacies. For those wishing specifics or further information on either influenza or its vaccine, please visit www.hkpr.on.ca/, or call 1-866-888-HKPR (4577).

LETTERS & COMMENTARY HEARTFELT THANKS FROM ANGEL TREE COMMITTEE DEAR EDITOR:
More than a quarter of a century ago the Adopt-AnAngel program began! Founded by Marsha Lloyd and sponsored by the Legion of Brighton, the program continues to grow in success. The need has changed very little over the years; this year we supplied 105 of Brighton's children and teens with toys and gifts. The Adopt-An-Angel program owes a great deal of thanks to so many local agencies and the list is long. Donations and gifts were received from the Brighton Kinsmen Club, Codrington Women's lnstitute, The Bargain Shop, Meals on Wheels, the Blue House and Willow Boutique, just to name a few. Unfortunately, not enough space is allowed in this letter to thank you all but you know who you are and you are thanked, from the bottom of our hearts. Not to be outdone by the local agencies in town, are you, the general public. lt is
rcoyne@metroland.com BrightonIndependent @north_news
WHO WE ARE because of you, most of you coming into the Legion, picking an Angel off the Angel Tree and returning with toys, money and so many wonderful gifts. We thank you so very much. Many of you will remember seeing our smiling faces, standing around the Legion's Angel Tree, on the front page of the Brighton lndependent on Nov. 29,2018. That is us, the committee, helping to raise awareness to a cause close to our hearts, and obviously yours also. Look for us again, in 2019, because the need is there and so will we be.
ROSE MASSEY, ADOPT-AN-ANGEL PROGRAM CO-ORDINATOR
NOT SO FRIENDLY ADVICE, READER SUGGESTS DEAR EDITOR:
The Dec. 20 front page article: "Former deputy mayor offers council friendly advice" highlighted what I saw as an attempt to impede the new council's commendable objective of establishing a procedural bylaw that returns order to
the municipal governance process. Many citizens, including myself, were appalled with the way that the business of the previous council was often hindered by misuse of loopholes in the bylaw to add agenda items that were not appropriately documented. Not only did these actions delay important business and result in excessively long meetings, but were disrespectful of those members of council, staff and citizens who took the time and trouble to prepare their case in advance and follow established procedures. The measured response to the proponent by Mayor Ostrander and chief administrative officer King was right on the money.

BRIGHTON'S OWN: LIVING LARGE WITH A CAN-DO ATTITUDE JEFF GRUEN HAS JUST ABOUT DONE IT ALL IN TV AND FILM, VIC SCHUKOV WRITES "I became a series director on a reality show called Maxed Out on W (Women's Network). I left after two months to start developing pilots. In 2008, I was an editor for Style by Jury and Totally Tracked Down, a show about tracking down B list actors. We interviewed big names like Lou Ferrigno and Stan Lee. Then came Brides of Beverly Hills. In 2013, my wife and I produced a show called Offbeat Roads: The Danakil Diaries for Travel and Escape Network, our first foray into producing our own shows as creators." Meanwhile, in 2014, he acted in a Bud Light Super Bowl commercial! He edited Holmes and Holmes, then Sarah off the Grid and other shows running up into 2017. "Then I got worn out. I had to get away. I wanted to live where there is more air, so we started looking for more open space. My sister and Mum were already in Brighton, so we knew the area and moved to Smithfield in 2017." Last year, he did some notable acting in Toronto-shot shows: Two episodes on Suits, as the FBI agent who arrested the popular character Michael Ross: "People say, That was you? I hate you! (laughing.) I spent an entire day with Meghan Markle. She is the sweetest, most wonderful woman." He also starred in an episode of Mayday, a popular show that chronicles plane crashes and why they happen; also in Stephen King's

Another case of the acorn not falling far from the oak tree(s), his father was an actor and an accomplished professional musician; his mom was an award-winning stage actress. Within a year of graduating in 1980, Gruen was hired as a field cameraman in Edmonton. In 1988, he filmed the Olympic Winter Games in Calgary: "I realized having all these people getting together from all over the world, there had to be more to life so I quit and moved to Toronto. In between, I was always acting in Edmonton theatre, doing four musicals as lead from 1984 to 1988, and doing a lot of commercials. "I ended up in AllianceAtlantis in 1997, a movie company that owned specialty channels like Showcase, History, Discovery Life Network and Food Network. In 2000, I became creative director for Life Network (now Slice), HGTV, Food Network and Discovery Health, directing all of the promotions that needed to be done (again winning many international awards.)" In 2005, he quit at the top of his game to go into programming.

Peacefully at home surrounded by the laughter and love of family and friends. April was known by many in the community through her involvement with the local hockey circles (“Holy Moly, What a Goalie”) as well as her years of coaching soccer both adults and children. Her infectious laugh brought a smile to the faces of anyone who was within earshot. Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing April, would also be familiar with her various collections, her love of Christmas (and snowmen) and her passion for Halloween. She always looked forward to seeing the children dressed up in their costumes. April will be missed by the numerous families that she cared for during her years as a home child care provider. Her kind smile, caring heart and heartfelt hugs were shared with many children and families that had the benefit of being in her circle. Lovingly remembered by her husband Glen, son James, mother Carol, father Herman (predeceased) mother in law Louise, father in law Joe, Gail, Ross (predeceased) Keith, Michelle, Lisa, Brian, Phil, Jeff, Tricia, her many nieces and nephews and of course her extended families. A special thank you to Dr Iris Noland, Dr Arlene MacIntyre, Nurse Julie Tremaine and all the support staff that provided care over the past few months. A celebration of life to be held at a later date.

NEW IMPAIRED DRIVING LAWS IN EFFECT POLICE NO LONGER NEED 'REASONABLE SUSPICION' BEFORE DEMANDING BREATH SAMPLE NORTHUMBERLAND With new legislation now in effect, police say they're starting to exercise their new authority for investigating impaired drivers. In a statement issued Dec. 17, the OPP says it's committed to making roads safer through the new impaired driving laws, following part two of Bill C-46 coming into effect as of Dec. 18. "Police officers will now be able to demand a roadside breath sample from any lawfully stopped driver to determine whether a person has alcohol in their
body, without first having to suspect the motorist has been drinking," said police in the Dec. 17 statement. Prior to the new legislation, officers had to have a "reasonable suspicion" that a driver had been consuming alcohol before demanding a breath sample. "Drivers need to be aware that is mandatory for them to comply with this demand and that those who do not, can be charged with failing or refusing to provide a breath sample," police are warning drivers. Under the new legislation, drivers impaired by alcohol will also face "higher mandatory minimum fines and some higher maximum penalties." The OPP reports laying more than 7,300 impaired driving charges across the province between Jan. 1 and
"The new mandatory alcohol screening serves as an important deterrent to drivers who are impaired by alcohol,."
- Gary Couture, OPP interim commissioner
mid-November this year. "The new mandatory alcohol screening serves as an important deterrent to drivers who are impaired by alcohol, including those who believe they can avoid detection by police," said Gary Couture, the interim commissioner for the OPP. "So far this year, alcohol and/or drugs have been a factor in the deaths of 41 people on OPP-patrolled roads. Every person who uses our roads has the right to be safe. The OPP fully sup-
Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates
ports this and any other legislation that enhances our ability to reduce the number of preventable deaths attributed to this deadly driving behaviour." Here's what you need to know about penalties for alcohol impaired driving as of Dec. 18. For alcohol-impaired driving that doesn't cause bodily harm or death, the mandatory minimum penalties are: - First offence, plus blood alcohol content (BAC) of 80 to 119 milligrams (mg), man-
datory minimum $1,000 fine. - First offence, plus BAC of 120 to 159 mg, mandatory minimum $1,500 fine. - First offence, plus BAC of 160 mg or more, mandatory minimum $2,000 fine. - First offence of refusal to be tested, mandatory
minimum $2,000 fine. - Second offence, mandatory minimum 30 days imprisonment. - Third and subsequent offences, mandatory minimum 120 days imprisonment. Police are continuing to ask residents who suspect a person is driving or about to drive impaired by alcohol or by drugs, to call 911 and report them to the police. To read up on the legislative background and reforms to the Transportation Provisions of the Criminal Code (Bill C-46), visit www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cjjp/sidl-rlcfa/c46/p3.html.

YEAR IN REVIEW: A LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE TOP STORIES It's hard to believe another year has flown by. Here's a look back at some of the top stories that hit the Brighton Independent's front page through the first half of 2018. See next week's edition for July through December. January 18 Police say the fatal house fire in which an older couple died last week "was the result of a homicide." But, "there is no public safety concern at this time," Northumberland OPP Const. Steve Bates added in a news release issued Monday afternoon. January 25 The Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society (PPLPS) has lost thousands of dollars. Last Friday afternoon, Dave Sharp, chair of the society, quite visibly upset, appeared in a video posted on the society's Facebook page. " ... Sadly, on Thursday, Jan. 18 we were notified that our charitable organization has been defrauded of about $60 to $70,000 ..." February 22 By agreeing to the sale of land, a majority of council has endorsed a company's proposal to establish a local-based cannabis operation. After lengthy discussion and a motion against the sale of land failed, in a 4-3 recorded vote, council received the report regarding the Brighton East Industrial Park offer for Lot 10 and agreed the required bylaws be prepared to authorize the deal. Initially, the Gnome Works Greenhouses Inc. land offer was to be discussed by council behind closed doors. March 1 Council will seek legal advice on the expense of taking a numbered company owned by Mayor Mark Walas to court to recover
Above: The five candidates for the riding (Jana Papuckoski, David Piccini, Lou Rinaldi, Derek Sharp and Jeff Wheeldon) went head to head for the last time at a meeting held May 31 at Brighton's Fellowship Christian Reformed Church. Right: Holly Tetzlaff, whose Red Fish Route and Peace Crane projects have touched thousands of people, received her Ontario Junior Citizen award from Lt.-Gov. Elizabeth Dowdeswell at a special ceremony in Toronto on March 6. costs the municipality incurred on its behalf at an Ontario Municipal Board hearing held almost two years ago. Deputy Mayor Roger McMurray emphasized in making the motion at council's Feb. 20 meeting that "it isn't personal, it's business. Walas was not present for the motion, having recused himself while the matter was being discussed. March 29 The average residential tax increase in Brighton is estimated at about 2.63 per cent and the municipal levy is sitting at a 4.61 per cent increase, though the municipality is still waiting on confirmation for the county and education rates. These figures are expected to be officially firmed up soon. Should all the numbers align, if a property was assessed at $250,000 in 2017, then it climbed by the average assessment increase, the 2018 tax assessment, with a tax increase of 2.63 per cent, would mean an additional $80.52 for the year. April 5 The group dedicated to
restoring the Presqu'ile lighthouse is trudging forward with fundraising efforts and continues to call on the public for support. "We need people to renew memberships or to donate and to show their support at our fundraisers," said Dave Sharp, chair for the Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society board of directors. April 19 Canadians from coast to coast donned sports jerseys last Thursday to show their support for the families who lost loved ones in the fatal crash involving the Humboldt Broncos. Among those taking part were hundreds of elementary and secondary students in Brighton who wore jerseys to school as a tribute to the 16 people who lost their lives as a result of a collision six days earlier between the team bus and a tractor-trailer in Saskatchewan. May 3 Brighton's Citizen of the Year has a knack for raising money, and he's been doing it for years, for many worthwhile causes. Keith Smith was recognized for his efforts at the 2018 Civic
Awards Gala, held April 28 at the King Edward Park Community Centre. Dennis Fletcher, the evening's MC, told the 100 people in attendance that Smith has been a member of the Brighton Lions Club for 45 years and in that time has operated fundraising barbecues at Applefest car shows, dragon-boat races, tournaments and the Codrington Farmers' Market. May 10 Brighton is home once again for the Sparks family. Chris and Christine and six of their children had been living in a rented place in Napanee that was large enough to accommodate them. But Habitat for Humanity Northumberland made it possible for them to return to Brighton with the help of a local couple, Bob and Susan Macklin, who donated their sixbedroom home. June 14 The residents of Northumberland-Peterborough South have voted and Progressive Conservative candidate David Piccini is the riding's new MPP. The final results from Elections Ontario had Progressive Conservative David Piccini at
John Campbell/Metroland photos 27,368 votes; NDP candidate Jana Papuckoski with 14,794 votes; Liberal Lou Rinaldi placed a close third with 14,593 votes. After taking an early lead, the PC candidate's numbers remained strong until his arrival at Dalewood Golf Club shortly after 10 p.m. June 28 Council has finally decided on a supplementary treatment system to reduce the amount of ammonia in Brighton's effluent, a long-
standing issue that has caused the province to lay charges. It voted Monday night to go with a proprietary treatment technology known as MBBR that uses specially designed media in an aerated reactor, or tank, as well as a filter. The specialized treatment system, which will complement the existing lagoon system, will guarantee provincial standards for ammonia content in effluent are met.

northumberlandnews.com
ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com The Rotary Club of Campbellford hosted its annual Christmas party at the Rotary Hall and officially completed its 90th anniversary by making several donations to local charitable groups and inducting a new member. Since 1928 the Rotary Club of Campbellford has helped individuals and community groups, locally and internationally. The club made donations to several organizations and these include $5,000 to the Flourish Campaign, completing the club's multi-year pledge of $25,000; $3,000 to Campbellford Memorial Hospital; $2,500 to Westben; $1,000 to the Bridge Hospice; and $1,200 to Shelter Box Canada. "We are also proud of some local projects we have spearheaded," said John Russell, President of Rotary Club of Campbellford. "These include the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge Project, the Rotary Trail and the Rotary hall that provides free space to the EarlyON Children's Program." Catherine Holt will join these efforts and was officially welcomed as a new member of the club by Rotarian Tom Holmes and Rotarian Kimberly Hulsman, who will soon be the new Assistant District Governor. "Cheers to the club on the close of our 90th anniversary," said Russell. "Thank you to club members and thanks to the community for your support allowing us to help out so many groups for so many years."
