JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The public works department was kept busy for two days late last week dealing with "widespread damage" on roads caused by a change in the weather. Rain and "an extreme thaw" combined to shrink the snow pack "pretty quickly" and with "frost still in the ground it all became surface water, nothing could infiltrate," director of public works and infrastructure Preston Parkinson said Monday. The result was that the municipality "lost a number of gravel roads, especially on the hill sections" north of Hwy. 401, he said. Smithfield was also hit hard, he added. Staff spent Friday and Saturday responding to what was happening. About a dozen roads were affected which staff graded as best they could under the circumstances "because there's still a
Visit NorthumberlandNews.com lot of moisture in the roads, you can't really pack them just yet," Parkinson said in an interview following council's meeting Monday night. "So everything's passable, everything's safe. Any hazards we couldn't address (were) marked and we'll have to do some repaving and some more surface treating." Cameron Road was restricted to local traffic only, and emergency responders were notified of its status in case they were called to that area. Parkinson said he hoped to have it open again on Tuesday. The municipality monitors See STAFF, page 2

The impact "highlighted a lot of areas that we need to ditch, which is going to be quite extensive." "We should be able to accommodate (the cost of repairs) in this year's budget," Parkinson continued. His department "will try to minimize" it ever happening again by having "better" ditches "to get the water away so it doesn't affect traffic and residents." Culverts at some entrances will have to be upsized and the municipality will "need to work with residents" as well "because some of the situations (were)

The Onions family met with Five Counties' staff at Brighton Public School as they made sure Molly had everything she needed to succeed at school, including a special chair so she could sit with her classmates. Shortly afterwards, they met with workers at Five Counties' office in Cobourg to see what additional services
they could use for Molly, who is also non-verbal. "We did a block of physiotherapy last year," Wendy says. "Molly was just starting to walk at that time and they helped her to build on those skills." While Molly is getting the services she needs, dozens of Northumberland County children remain on Five Counties' wait list, including more than 80 of them for speech therapy, more than 50 for occupational therapy and

If you want seven-yearold Molly Onions to walk, you need to show her Elmo or a sparkly pinwheel. However, just over a year ago, she had yet to take her first step. Her family credits much of their support on this journey to staff at Five Counties Children's Centre. "Molly does things at her own pace," her mother Wendy says with a laugh. "She has shown us that she will be a walker ... Now sometimes we have to tell her to slow down." The Onions family moved to Brighton in the summer of 2017, when Molly's father Jeff was stationed at CFB Trenton. They chose the community based on how well they felt their daughters Terra and Molly would fit in at Brighton Public School. Molly has Down syndrome and autism. The petite girl started using a wheelchair at age three, then stood on her own for the first time when she was five. She now takes
16 for physiotherapy. "Anything we've needed, they have pointed us in the right direction," Wendy says. "It would have been so much harder to do the transition if I couldn't just pick up the phone and call (occupational therapist) Nicole (Vreeswyk). For our family, Five Counties mostly helps me. Nicole is the first person I turn to." The family also worked with physiotherapist Kyrie Hicks and rehabilitation assistant Jessica York during her time with Five Counties. In March, Wendy and Nicole met to decide which special stroller Molly will use for longer trips or when she is riding

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com The lower portion of Trenear Road has washed out, with several cracks and craterlike holes that have forced its closure by Cramahe Township to all vehicle traffic. Trenear Road is approximately five kilometres west of Brighton and is normally accessible from County Road 2. Due to rain and melting snow, the portion of this road from County Road 2 north to Trent Valley Road is closed. A notice on the municipal township website notes: "The route was shut down between Trent Valley Road and County Road 2, east of Colborne, due to the deteriorating conditions caused by this week's precipitation, which washed out
gravel roads. The road is marked and barricaded, and the closure doesn't affect any homes. It will be off limits until a comprehensive road assessment can be done. "Other roads that are affected are Burbridge, Jakobi, Ventress at Little Lake, CN Cross Road at Blyth Park Road, Chapman, Cochrane, Dingman, Gillespie and Wilce roads.

Brighton - Council supports dedicating the children's library in memory of Bill Pettingill, who was mayor for many years and a lifelong educator who served on the Brighton Public Library board. The dedication is to take place at the opening ceremonies of the newly renovated library and municipal building where it is located. The library board is planning to hold the event in May, said Coun. Mary Tadman, who put forward the motion to have council show its support for the dedication. Pettingill died in 2006 at the age of 69. Council also granted Pettingill's wife, Joan, permission to donate a bench to be placed under the new canopy at the municipal building.

EVEN ITS INVENTOR SAYS WORLD WIDE WEB IS DYSFUNCTIONAL, COLUMNIST WRITES JOHN CAMPBELL Column
northumberlandnews.com
CANDLES FOR PEACE
It was 30 years ago this month that legendary composer Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web so people could enjoy videos of artists performing, animals being cute, dolts behaving idiotically, and adults enjoying other adults enthusiastically and unashamedly. It also made possible the spreading of misinformation at a speed never before possible, to millions of gullible people around the planet. Outrageous stuff, like saying the moon landing was faked, Elvis is alive, broccoli's good for you, and Berners-Lee wrote Broadway musicals. He didn't (but I'll Google that just to be sure). Berners-Lee is a computer scientist whose invention, a way to communicate globally across networked computers, has proved to be a mixed blessing - or a curse with benefits. Those who don't surrender to its lure wage a losing battle striving to break free of its hold, so entwined has it become in our lives. Privacy has again become a thing of the past, back to when information of a personal nature was also disclosed unwillingly online, that being the party line which allowed subscribers on the same telephone circuit to listen in on each other's calls. In those days it was called eavesdropping, today it's called hacking, but it's a far bigger threat to society now than when the neighbours found out the widow Jones had run off with the farmhand. In just three decades na-
tions have made themselves vulnerable to all kinds of harm - economically, militarily, socially and politically - by becoming utterly dependent on a system so badly flawed that security holes will forever remain a grave threat, and those who would speak evil or spout nonsense are given a platform that spans continents. It features the best that people can do as well as the worst, on a scale that's unprecedented.
Those who don't surrender to its lure wage a losing battle striving to break free of its hold, so entwined has it become in our lives.
- John Campbell
Even Berners-Lee now says the web is no longer a force for good and has become dysfunctional, where tech giants exploit users' personal data for corporate gain, and hate speech and bullying thrive. So any celebration of the web's anniversary must be a muted one. Which is a shame. It should be an occasion for great joy. Which is still possible if you go searching for clips of babies and puppies playing together. They're always good for a chuckle and can brighten one's day. Thank you, Tim.

Dear Mystery Dutchman, It is with great admiration and respect that I respond to your article in the Independent, dated March 14, 2019. The Second World War was a very horrific time for everyone involved and for you in the Netherlands. Every year, there is the Nijmegen Walk - which has been called the "Walk of the World" - organized by Nijmegen, Netherlands. It originated with the Dutch military efforts to increase the long-distance marching and weight-carrying ability of infantry soldiers. It continues to be a fourday walk for the military and civilians alike, with walks of 30, 40 and 50 kilometres per day. Many Canadians and Dutch take part to remember the heroic events of the

Thank you so much for continuing to recognize the sacrifice that our Canadian soldiers made for the Dutch liberation. Thank you so much for letting us know what the legion means to you, to our Second World War veterans and to the families of the lost and living soldiers. Thank you.

WARKWORTH'S RESIDENTIAL HOSPICE 'CAN ALWAYS USE MORE HELP' JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Warkworth - The mission of The Bridge Hospice is to offer a home away from home to individuals nearing the end of life and provide them and their families "exceptional care, guidance and support from professional care providers and compassionate volunteers." Remarkably, even though it's been open since June 2013 and has accepted more than 180 men and
women into its care, there are people in the community unaware of its existence or what its purpose is. "The general knowledge in the population of hospice is not very good," board chair Dave Burnham said, which he finds surprising, given the media attention it has received over the years and the ongoing efforts of The Bridge's outreach team to publicize its work. Dr. Michael Kaufmann, on the other hand, was quite familiar with the organization's accomplish-
ments. He admired his wife Judy for having been quite active in its development. He joined the board and is now its vice-chair. Judy completes her three-year term this June, when the hospice will need to fill her position and those of three others on the board that will become vacant then as well. New volunteers will need to be found to serve on the board, but also to help in other areas, whether it's providing comfort to residents, maintaining the facility or supporting fundraising initiatives, which is crucial because the hospice offers its services for free, and it's responsible for covering 40 per cent of the operating costs. Burnham said the families of most residents who stay at The Bridge do make a donation. He praised the nursing staff and personal support workers for the excellence of their work and the cul-
ture that director of clinical services and operations Kerri-Anne Wilson and communications and events co-ordinator Alison Lane have developed that's "very supportive" of residents, their families and volunteers. If you don't want to be part of resident care, there
are lots of other things that can be done at The Bridge, Burnham said. "We can always use more help." Volunteer numbers fluctuate between 50 and 60, and the time they spend at hospice can be as little as two hours a week, or a three-hour shift once a month.
Wilson said The Bridge is receiving more applications from youth 13 to 18 years of age. To learn more about the hospice, visit thebridgehospice.com. For information about becoming a volunteer, call 705-924-9222 or email info@thebridgehospice.com.

MARCH 14-20
Focus On Farming Three facts you need to know about Everyone Welcome to Canada’s food industry No matter what food trend you’re following --- whether that’s organic, vegan, gluten-free, or something else --- you’re eating Canadian-made food. So you can learn a little bit more about what you’re feeding yourself and your family with these top three facts about the Canadian food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods industries.
Auction Every Tuesday at 11:00 A.M.
1. We’re world leaders in food safety. Our reputation is top notch, as Canada’s food safety has been ranked as number one in the world by the Conference Board of Canada in 2014, tying with Ireland.That’s why it makes sense that there’s trust and a growing global demand for food and our high quality made-in-Canada goods. 2.Your food is mostly made on Canadian turf. Despite our cold winters, over 70 per cent of the food Canadians buy is produced domestically.This includes 86 per cent of meat and dairy products and 76 per cent of breads and cereals.The rest of our food comes from imports, which account for 40 percent of all fish and fruit and vegetables.There’s also lots of room for growth, as the world’s population is estimated to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, requiring a 70 per cent increase in global food production.

VIGIL HELD TO HONOUR VICTIMS OF MASSACRE IN NEW ZEALAND JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Warkworth - A vigil was held Sunday night for the victims of the massacre that took place in New Zealand two days earlier. Close to 30 people attended the community service at St. Paul's United Church, which Rev. Meggin King had organized in response to the killing of 49 people at two mosques in Christchurch March 15. Dozens of people were also wounded in the attack by a lone gunman who has been described as an extremist right-wing terrorist. The suspect being held in custody is a 28-year-old Australian who livestreamed the assault and published a racist manifesto online before launching his rampage. King welcomed those who attended the service to share their "common humanity at a time of trouble and grief." "Whether your place of reflection and renewal" is a beautiful spot outdoors or
John Campbell/Metroland Bryce Allen and Stephen Rapos join others in accepting Rev. Meggin King's invitation to light candles arranged in the symbol of peace to show ‘love is a force to be reckoned with.’ in a building where likeminded people share the same views about what is sacred, it's "a refuge ... where we connect with the divine, whatever we consider the divine to be," King said. "And when violence strikes a place of ref-
uge, a place of sanctuary, a place of deep meaning, it doesn't only affect the people who are there, it affects all of us." She quoted an Australian news commentator who said what happened was "part of a continuum
of violence and hatred" in the world created by a "political atmosphere" that employs fear-mongering and incites people to vio-

lence to "divide and conquer." King said "greed and power" is behind it. Those who hold power have found out that if you "can turn the general populace into an us versus them situation ... you've got it made and you'll stay in power, you'll keep your money." "We are here tonight as a show of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters," to say that while "hate divides, love ... pulls us together (and) makes us strong." King read out the names of the 49 victims to honour and remember them, and she invited attendees to light candles that had been arranged in the symbol of peace to show the world "we're not going to let hate divide us, that we are strong ... that love is a force to be reckoned with." She also invited them to sign letters of solidarity and condolence she had

written to the imams of the two mosques. Local musician Steve Rapos performed John Lennon's Imagine at the end of the service, which was live-streamed on the church's website, stpaulswarkworth.ca, where it can still be viewed. "We will not be divided by hate, life's too short," King said. In an interview before the service King said churches and organizations across the country had held vigils over the weekend, and she thought something should be done locally to express the community's grief and outrage over the massacre. King said people of different faiths need to talk and "get to know each other," and a good way is to share meals. Once people learn more about each other, "you can't demonize someone that you shared a plate of bread with," she said.

OPINION
BRIGHTON'S OWN: HAVING FUN IN JAIL JOE LEDUC FINDS JOY IN HIS PHOTOGRAPHY, VIC SCHUKOV WRITES VIC SCHUKOV Column
His business card says Joseph Leduc, Fun Free Style Photography, but that is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Joe was born in Toronto. His father was in the military, stationed at Camp Borden, so Joe grew up in nearby Angus. He attended Georgian College, studying media and communications arts. Then it was off to Toronto to work in what would eventually become Quebecor Studio, the biggest commercial photography studio in Canada.
"I also like to manipulate the image in Photoshop, that's where the fun freestyle comes in."
– Joe Leduc
"We did the Sears catalogue. With 400,000 square feet of studio, it was a one-stop shop. Truckloads of merchandise came in, and catalogues went
out. We could print three times higher than the CN Tower every day. I ran the processing and art department, and shot special projects, going mobile to photograph people." For 34 years, Joe concurrently was in the reserves out of Barrie, rising to captain before retiring in 2008. In that same period, he did wedding photography: "I did hundreds of weddings some expensive affairs and some just a pig in the back in a farmer's field and everybody in blue jeans. Those are the best." He met wife Deborah ("I am not De-bra. I wear de bra, but I am Debor-ah!") at a New Year's Eve party in 1972. She recalls: "I was in the auxiliary police, as well as a full-time clerk in the Toronto police accident bureau, and had worked an evening shift. Eighteen days after I let him kiss me for the first time, we were engaged." They got married in June 1974. Deborah joined the reserves infantry to be with Joe. "My father was a Toronto police patrol sergeant, so I love uniforms," she said with a laugh. The couple moved here less than two years ago, from Newmarket. Deborah had seen an advertisement for this house in Brighton that had a jail cell. The house was an old OPP station from the 1950s to 2005, and the single cell is still there with the original bed. The fun couple has even made T-shirts. A lifetime member of the Richmond Hill Camera Club, Joe is also in the Brighton Photo group (volunteering on the exec-

utive) and Belleville and Wellington camera clubs, always running workshops. "I go out by myself and shoot everything from a bug and up. Everything that moves is fair game, but my favourite is portraiture." The master pic-taker is an accredited judge at the Greater Toronto Council of Camera Clubs. His unconventional style won him awards for the funniest photo and Photographer of the Year at the Wellington club. "When I started, you hid behind a black sheet with two sheets of film. Now I use the computer. I use a lot of props and special effects." Joe's love of life shows in his work: "Some people say they're dead at 50 but don't bury 'em till they're 90. I haven't found any miserable people here yet. I say, 'Have fun; every day, do something you enjoy.' I try and create a picture every day."

AUCTION SALE
ROBERTS, Geraldine Audrey April 13, 1927 - March 7, 2019 Peacefully at the Perley Rideau Veterans Health Centre in Ottawa on March 7, 2019 in her 92nd year. Cherished wife of Arnold “Robbie.” Loving mother to Dave (Patricia Dionne). Survived by her sister Joe Ann Thorpe (Bill) and predeceased by her sister Shirley Campbell (Jack). She had been stricken with dementia sometime ago and had battled this heinous disease for many years. She was fortunate to have had the care of the wonderful staff there plus her awesome husband of 69 years Arnold or as he is known: “Robbie”. We all had worked very hard to assist and care for Audrey in these final years, especially Robbie. We all did our best to make her life the very best it could be. Special Thanks to my Dad for all your kindness, compassion and care you have tirelessly provided for Mom. You are the most noble man I have ever met! Rest in Peace Audrey. You were loved by many!
