BRIGHTON BUSINESS OWNER NOMINATED FOR GLOBAL AWARD

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Jay McArthur had slid to rock bottom when he was rescued by a prince. Prince's Trust Canada, to be precise, a registered charity that says it was established by Charles, Prince of Wales, "to unlock potential in three key areas: Providing entrepreneurship training for veterans and transitioning Canadian Armed Forces members, helping young people build confidence through employability programs, and supporting Indigenous communities as they revitalize and protect their languages." McArthur had served 14 years in the Canadian Armed Forces before his release in 2015 for medical reasons. He started a business out of his home, Rest Easy Home In-

spections, near the Brighton Speedway, "and was struggling," he said. "I didn't really understand anything about business." It also didn't help that he was still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which he had developed as a result of his experiences in Afghanistan. "For over seven years I kept it quiet, trying to deal with it myself (by doing) a lot of drinking." It cost McArthur his marriage, which made him realize he had a problem. He was "at the lowest point (in his life) and couldn't see the daylight, couldn't see the end of the tunnel," he said. "The hardest part was the shame." He underwent counselling but it was a 10-day program arranged through the Veterans Transition Network that "really helped me a lot," he said. Then he learned about the Prince's Operation Entrepreneur (POE) program, a national program that gives transitioning military personnel and veterans See BRIGHTON, page 3

BRIGHTON MAYOR DELIVERS POSITIVE MESSAGE FOR YEAR AHEAD JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Mayor Brian Ostrander sees 2019 as being a "planning year" for Brighton as well as "a year of compromise and consensus building" on behalf of its residents. Speaking at the levee held Jan. 1 at the King Edward Park Community Centre, Ostrander said council will spend the first half "dealing with things such as strategic planning, budgeting, and hiring directors, managers and administrators to fill key roles that have been too long vacant." He noted one of those vacancies had been filled with the hiring of Preston

Parkinson as Brighton's new director of public works. He said council will be interviewing candidates for chief administrative officer in mid-January, adding there had been almost 50 applicants for the position currently held on an interim basis by Gary King. Council's first goal will be to adopt a strategic plan that will serve as a "road map" for members and staff, Ostrander said. Its short-term goals include developing necessary fiscal management policies such as asset management and development charges, "broadening the recreation infrastructure by creating more trails and

helping make our skateboard park rejuvenation a reality." Other goals involve creating "a more robust community economic framework" that includes business and regional partners, and working to bring tourists to Brighton and back again. Ostrander said the draft plan's longer term concepts include advocating for rail service, creating a plan for future recreation services (including newer ice and aquatics potentially), and developing a road network to meet tomorrow's needs. "But these are all conceptual at the moment and I hope that you will take the time to view the draft plan

at the municipal website, Brighton.ca, and offer comments so that we may ensure that whatever council decides has the community's best interest at heart and that your ideas are encapsulated in that plan." Ostrander said 2018's many accomplishments included construction of a new stage in Memorial Park to replace "the wellused and well-loved gazebo," and "million dollar" renovations at the municipal building that opened up more space for the library as well as made it more accessible by placing it all on one level. The mayor included a personal note in his address, saying "the holidays,

a time that is supposed to be of great happiness and joyousness, are not always easy for some people, whether they might be dealing with job loss or the loss of a loved one or personal struggles. "This hit home for us this year when on the Thursday before Christmas I received a phone call to let us know that my father, Gil Ostrander, had passed away," he said. "So I was grateful for some quiet downtime over the holidays to be able to reflect on what was next for us ... And we will be holding a service for dad's friends sometime in February." Ostrander said he is "proud to be the mayor of a

"the education, tools and resources they need to build confidence, develop networks and run their own successful businesses." The two programs together enabled him to turn his life around and "refocus," said McArthur, who's now 35. Two years after graduating from POE's sevenday boot camp at the University of Regina, McArthur said his business is thriving and he's able to give back to the community by volunteering his time speaking at events, sharing his story about his struggles with mental health issues and how much of a positive impact the program had on his business and life. So much so that he's been nominated for the

first ever Global Award to be given outside the United Kingdom since The Prince's Trust Group began handing out awards in 2004. The award, to be presented in March, will recognize someone who has significantly benefited from a Prince's Trust program "and whose success is an inspiration to others." McArthur said he "really wasn't expecting" to be nominated by Prince's Trust Canada and he considers it an honour. Looking ahead he's "excited" by the prospect of helping more veterans get the help they need and moving "in the right direction." McArthur also works with Wounded Warriors Canada, raising money for

2017 during his Royal Tour of Canada. He was one of five veterans who made a presentation to the prince thanking him for the POE program. "I speak from the heart (about) what the charity has done for me," McArthur said. "It's unreal how much of a different person I am because of what they've given me." "There was a time six years ago I'd be standing at the door shaking, almost throwing up, because I couldn't leave my house." The confidence, courage and skill set the charity provided him "has helped me want to better myself ... and keep moving forward," he said. "I honestly couldn't picture where I would be without it." "I believe in it.”

CANNABIS PRODUCTION FACILITY IN LAKEPORT UNDER SCRUTINY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Cramahe Township - Questions are being raised about a cannabis production facility being built in Lakeport. Two residents who live there have written letters complaining that the community wasn't consulted when Sharpshooter Industries Inc. began making plans to grow marijuana and manufacture oils in the hamlet. Cramahe Community Association co-founder Gritt Koehl has become involved, asking council at its last meeting why the municipality gave a letter of support to the company for its proposed venture a year ago after receiving information from Sharpshooter that was "really poorly prepared and presented." Council subsequently approved an interim control bylaw that put on hold for one year any proposal to establish a marijuana production facility in the township because it wanted to review "its whole approach to cannabis and production facili-

ties," she said. "There's a lot of people that are unhappy in this township and in other townships because of grow-ops Mandy Martin that are going on that are causing problems." Koehl asked why council hadn't told Sharpshooter to suspend its plans. Mayor Mandy Martin, the lone member of council who wasn't in office when the decisions referred to by Koehl were made, said that "there was nothing illegal about the proposal at all, and we all knew that cannabis production was going to become legal." The facility at Lakeport "is quite different from ... the growops you see scattered throughout our countryside which are being operated for people" who

are licensed to grow their own medical marijuana, Martin said. Sharpshooter will be producing "for a completely different market," she said. "They're not growing it on behalf of individuals, it's going to enter the industrial marketplace." Koehl said planners throughout Northumberland County discussed the issue of cannabis production facilities and reached the consensus that they "would be best suited to industrial parks or very remote rural areas," not a place like Lakeport where there are residences. But Martin pointed out that the property Sharpshooter acquired is zoned industrial. Chief administrative officer Craig Brooks said staff had met with Sharpshooter representatives "to establish what would be required for the site." "We have received some public concern about what was happening," he said. "Since that meeting took place, we have had staff on site as well to reiterate what is required and how they were failing to meet those re-

quirements at that time." Brooks explained THE ISSUE: THE ESTABLISHMENT that the company OF A CANNABIS PRODUCTION hadn't obtained permits before working FACILITY IN LAKEPORT on the building it acLOCAL IMPACT: AREA RESIDENTS quired, as well as the property's fencing CONCERNED ABOUT A LACK OF and landscaping.

BRIGHTON STRATEGIC PLAN SETS PATH FOR A BETTER COMMUNITY AMBITIOUS GOALS LAID OUT IN DRAFT DOCUMENT, PUBLIC INPUT WELCOMED JOHN CAMPBELL Column

Planning is good. It makes navigating the future that much easier, knowing where you want to go and how to get there. None of this flying-bythe-seat-of-your-pants stuff careening from emergency to crisis, reacting to situations as they come along.

northumberlandnews.com

"Residents can help shape the municipality's future by commenting on the draft strategic plan before Jan. 25." Even with a wellthought-out plan, unexpected turns of events will arise that prove challenging, for no municipality possesses a crystal ball that's unerring in its predictions. Still, they will cause less turmoil and stress if the right framework is in place to respond to such matters. Having a strategic plan that undergirds council's decision-making is a standard, prudent measure and the one currently before Brighton council in draft form is certainly ambitious in scope. Its goals are many more than 50 - and include such things as plans for an overpass/underpass at John Street and a dedicated recreation/fitness facil-

ity that offers "opportunities for aquatics." It also proposes undertaking a ward system study, creating a new senior drop-in centre, building an outdoor skating rink, planning for new ice surfaces at the arena and curling rink, creating staff positions "to aid with strategic and legislative pressures," advocating for rail service/stop, building an emergency services base (for firefighters and paramedics) and establishing a council page program. The strategic plan, which can be viewed online at www.brighton.ca, further calls for implementing the recommendations of master plans for recreation trails, fire and storm water, creating an economic development committee and enhancing public transportation. There are deadlines attached to each of the goals, most of which fall within this council's term. The previous council also had a strategic plan to work with, prepared in 2011. Perhaps it would be wise to revisit that document and produce a report that identifies which targets were met and explains why others were not. It would assist current elected officials in understanding the limits of what can be accomplished and how to go about achieving a higher rate of success. With four new members on council, there will be a different dynamic in play that could prove advantageous to getting work done which the previous council found difficult to do at times, even with a strategic plan to guide it. Residents can help shape the municipality's future by commenting on the draft strategic plan before Jan. 25. They'd be wise not to pass up the opportunity.

LETTERS & COMMENTARY GOOD FRIENDS TAKE TIME TO LISTEN DEAR EDITOR:

I guess all of us at times have been swollen with self-importance. However, it can be a hard lesson to find out that your vanity has cost you more than you are willing to bear. As the years go by I find that I am not immune to the natural pains of aging. I have joined the club of people that play the game of "my ailment is worse than yours." The older I get, the more embellished my health complaints are. I have become self-absorbed in my dedication to making anyone aware that only a martyr could bear my aches and pains.

I was self-satisfied in the fact that everyone that I encountered had a full understanding of my ability to cope with intolerable pain. Little did I realize that I would regret the one-sided conversations. A friend of mine, who was a little older than me, would listen to my complaints with utmost sympathy. His genuine concern was a balm to my inflated ego. He was a bachelor that lived a solitaire life that seemed to suit him. I assumed that he enjoyed our one-sided conversations. I fervently pray that I was at least partially right. My friend collapsed and died on a sidewalk one day. To me, it was a sudden death. He was a friend. Un-

fortunately, I found out that I was not as good a friend as he was. If I had just spent a little time to pay attention, I would not carry this guilt. Maybe I was not listening, something a lot of us should do more of, but I do not remember my friend ever mentioning an ailment. Very few knew that he was on borrowed time with a critical heart condition. He suffered alone, never complaining, taking things as they came. I never took the time to listen to my friend. That is what he was, a friend to me. I only wish that I could say that I was a friend to him. But, I did not earn that right.

LACK OF CONSULTATION A MAJOR GROWING BRIGHTON ROTARY CLUB CONCERN FOR LAKEPORT RESIDENTS EMBARKS ON BUSY YEAR Dear Editor: Thank you for your coverage of the Sharpshooter development in Lakeport. Without your articles the residents of Lakeport would still be in the dark. Sharpshooter has talked about sharing info but has not made any effort to include the residents most affected. Zak Dingsdale mentions his fondness for Colborne but no one has mentioned Lakeport, where the plant is located. My family home in Lakeport dates back to 1860 so I too, like Dingsdale, "want the best for this community (Lakeport)." There are approximately 70 homes in the

hamlet of Lakeport that have not been included in any information sharing. Had I known about the Queen's Hotel meeting I can assure you a number of the residents most affected would have attended. We were not aware nor invited by Sharpshooter. The residents of Lakeport support the businesses of Colborne and should be included in the survey regarding the retail store scenario. I quote your article of Dec. 20, 2018 where Adam Dasovich says they "will 'probably' apply to set up a recreational cannabis retail outlet onsite." For a small community like Lakeport, this is a serious issue. My issue is with the

lack of inclusion of the residents of Lakeport in the survey online. There has been no contact whatsoever. Many of the residents do not get the paper on Thursday so are not aware and deserve to have their opinion count. In the spirit of good neighbourly relations, I suggest that Lakeport residents be included in the Cramahe survey and the Sharpshooter owners recognize the need to first and foremost hold a second town hall meeting specifically for Lakeport residents as we are most directly affected. Again, thank you for your coverage.

DEVELOPMENT HAS TRENT HILLS MAYOR "EXCITED" ABOUT YEAR AHEAD JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - Mayor Bob Crate says he's "excited about 2019" and one of the reasons he's enthusiastic is new housing projects. The municipality already has several subdivisions on the books for Hastings and Campbellford, and more are being planned. Most will be developed in phases over the next decade. If three people on average were to reside in each of the units planned for all the known housing projects, "you're looking at a population growth of probably 3,000 to 4,000 people," Crate said. "That's significant and I think we would be pretty happy with that sort of scenario," he said. "We have capacity in our water and sewers to do this." "We need the housing (to keep schools from closing)," he added. "I was concerned a couple of years ago that we were going to lose our school in Hastings, (because its) numbers were falling. Now it's full." Crate said the municipality is making an effort to attract young families by investing in facilities such as the Hastings Field House and, eventually, a $33 million recreation and wellness centre in Campbellford that contains a rink and three pools. "We should have some answers back on that pretty

soon," in the form of a task force report, he said. "We've got to get some money from the province and the feds to do something like that," Crate said. Should the funds become available "we'll be ready for it ... We're probably 75 per cent of the way to being shovel ready." The mayor said he wants the growth to occur in a "measured" way so "we don't get carried away." The provincial government's elimination of rent control is "seen as bad" in terms of its impact on affordable housing but "if we can spur people to build

(units) for rental it will open up" the market, Crate said. "Right now there isn't a lot of choice, that's the problem." Director of planning Jim Peters said the growth plan prepared by the province for Northumberland County set population targets for each of the municipalities. "The growth hasn't been taking place as fast (as was projected for Trent Hills)," he said. The plan "does limit us but we're still doing OK. If we have 50 to 70 homes built (a year) we'll be fine going forward."

OPINION

BRIGHTON'S OWN: A CHAMPION OF WOMEN'S SPIRIT LIESJE WAGNER FINDS HAPPINESS THROUGH LIFE'S CHALLENGES, VIC SCHUKOV WRITES VIC SCHUKOV Column

Liesje Wagner was born in The Hague, Netherlands, and came to Toronto when she was six years old. Having performed in high school plays, she attended York University in fine arts and history. She couldn't afford to finish after second year, so she went to work with Ontario Hydro, who promised to put her in the commercial art department. She continued her studies at night through associations like Theatre Ontario: "One day, I stepped into an elevator and the CEO was there. He said I would never be put in the art department. Because I was a girl and would just get married and have babies. I quit two weeks later." Back in Toronto, she started professional acting and modelling. She was in a movie in the very first Toronto Film Festival, and did commercials, print

Vic Schukov photo Liesje Wagner shown here at home. ads, fashion shows and theatre. "CBC made me take English lessons because I had a thick Dutch accent. I was in many of their TV series. I was even Miss Shweppes for the corporation (laughing). I was doing a fashion show and Miss Edith Head approached me and said, 'You, my dear, are going to be my Marilyn Monroe.' In her Toronto fashion shows, I wore the gown Marilyn wore when she sang at JFK's birthday.

"But I was still struggling with wanting to be a nun. In my first interview, the Father knew me quite well and said, 'We admire the fact you feel so devoted to God, but I am sorry to say, we find the confines of the church does not suit your personality (sounds like something out of the Sound of Music, I said, and she laughed). I cried all the way home." Continuing to act, she became a board member of Toronto Women in Film

and TV (1988 to 1994) and editor for their quarterly magazine, and helped lobby Canadian Radio-television and Communications (CRTC) to eliminate use of women's bodies in advertising. She produced and directed a documentary called Breaking the Cycle of Violence (against women). In 1995, she moved to Nova Scotia, as marketing manager for a computer animation studio - pixelMotion Images.

Then, an injury from a car accident she had at 16, came back at her. "My spine deteriorated over time. I spent three years in bed and then four years in a wheelchair. I had my faith even more so, and decided I wasn't going to remain in a chair. I started doing things to make me think beyond, like painting my kitchen cupboards from a wheelchair. It forced me to push and lean and stretch. I eventually went to a cane."

In 2016, she published her first book - Italian Bones of Contentions, a comedy. "I started several sequels, then God stepped in. I was visiting Israel, standing at the Great Wall and I felt an overpowering hum. I realized I had to talk about the one thing I didn't want to talk about: My life as a woman and the objectification of women. I wrote a non-fiction book called The Kingdom of God and Playboys. "I want to step it up, to help women with their pain and understand what causes it so they can put it in perspective and heal and forgive, my project for the next 20 years." In 2018, Wagner moved to Brighton to be closer to her parents and help them live to a hundred in the comfort of their own home. "Life is a gift, but that's not all there is. The wiser you want to be, the more upsets happen in your life. That's not the end of the world. You can't become completely aware unless you go through the fire a number of times. I love people, love life, and can't contain my happiness." Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a longtime journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people; victorschukov@gmail.com.

BRIGHTON CLOTHING DEPOT TO REOPEN WITH DOUBLE SPACE

northumberlandnews.com

ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com The new year brings changes to the operation of the Brighton Clothing Depot. Under new leadership and with increased demand for products, the board of directors has decided to expand their space to meet the community's needs in 2019. "We have doubled our space," said Karen Weese, president of the depot. "We will be able to better display the donated items that we have received and we have set up a dedicated

space for children's toys and games, near the racks of children's clothing." The Brighton Clothing Depot (BCD) was established in 1965. The facility moved to its present location at 5 Craig St. in Brighton's industrial park area in 2014. The BCD is a reseller of donations, which includes toys, books, dishes, small appliances, housewares and of course clothing. With their sales, they are able to support more than 37 charities in Brighton with annual donations. Charities include local churches, bursaries to East

"With more floor space we have been able to make our aisles wider and improve accessibility for our volunteers and customers."

- Karen Weese

Northumberland Secondary School, the Brighton Food Bank, Brighton Minor Hockey, Brighton Legion, Beacon Youth Centre, Supper's Ready and K-9 Cruisers, just to name a few.

Recently they donated $2,000 worth of vouchers to the families, who received Christmas hampers to help with their ongoing clothing and household needs. "We have received so much positive support

from the community," said Weese. "Our walls were bulging from all the generously donated items so we knew it was time to improve our space. With more floor space we have been able to make our aisles wider and improve accessibility for our volunteers and customers." "Our plan is to also revise our hours and add Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.," said Weese. "We received a lot of customer feedback asking us to add this day and stay until 6 p.m. and we have volunteers who are willing to

help us staff this time so we are going to try it." "On behalf of the executive, I would like to thank all the many volunteers who have been working tirelessly over the holidays to finish the new space for us, installing flooring, painting and moving display units into place," added Weese. The BCD's grand reopening is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 23, 2019 at 10 a.m. Stop by the depot and check out their new space, pick up some great deals and support charities in Brighton too.
