Council approves sale of land for cannabis production SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

novatively growing things and not just cannabis.

I liked that they started in another industry, growing herbs for their catering business and they were trying to do so in a sustainable way.”

Stephen Ashton, manager of planning, building and community development, provided a brief recap of

the development and addressed outstanding questions of council’s prior to discussion at the recent planning meeting.

Staff has no issues with the proposed water consumption or waste, he said.

Ashton also reiterated the plans for odour controls and for lighting.

(Lighting will be addressed again during the site plan process, as may other esthetics.)

A lighting specialist will have to do the work to ensure neighbouring properties will not be affected, said Ashton. Odour controls will be part of the licensing process, he said.

Brighton — 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 a lengthy discussion and a motion against the sale of land failed, See SALE page 2 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.

Coun. John Martinello managed to persuade the majority to discuss the proposal openly. He was also one-ofthree who voiced concerns with the project and voted against the sale of land.

“I have a lot of doubts about this industry,” he said. “I (have) got to believe it’s better to wait for something that will provide maybe higher-paying jobs and more skilled jobs than a greenhouse.”

Martinello also expressed worries that odours might deter others from purchasing land in the industrial park.

When two of the proponents of the project recently visited with council, they did elaborate on their plans to address odour concerns. They also said part-time workers would be paid $20-$25 per hour.

Other councillors, like Brian Ostrander, thought the proponents’ made a solid pitch.

Sarah Hyatt/Metroland “I was impressed by these guys,” Brighton Fire Chief Lloyd Hutchinson will retire on Feb. 28. For more on his story and who will be filling his he said. “I liked the way they were in- position, please see page 3.

“That’s a big impact” from one event, and “we have many projects in the works,” Cox said. “We’re being contacted by agents in Canada and abroad.”

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Cramahe Township – Council has recognized the non-profit organization behind the Mill at Piper Creek Arts & Heritage Centre as a heritage group.

Council granted the request after a recent presentation by Candace Cox, co-owner of the mill with her husband Mitchell, and Ingrid Anderson, a member of the centre’s board of directors.

What it means is that the board will enjoy the same right extended to other local recognized organizations, which is a reduced rate to rent the Castleton town hall, for $50 rather than $150.

Cox pointed out both the mill house and the mill are included on Heritage Cramahe’s cultural heritage property register, and the mill as well “is the starting point” for a walking tour in Castleton.

“We have been delighted by the keen community interest in saving the mill building itself,” Cox said. The former grist mill, built around 1840, “means so much to the people of Castleton” and is “deeply embedded in the history of the area.”

“We all want to see this mill saved and restored.”

Joseph Keeler, son of mill’s builder, served as MP for Northumberland “in the first government of Canada under John A. Macdonald, so it is historically significant as a building,” she said.

Cox told council the mill sustained “significant damage” in a 1980 flood and nothing was done to repair it until 2011 after she and her husband had

er the story of a community,” Anderson said. There will be hands-on workshops, demonstrations, fibre art displays, story telling, music, and interviews with local residents who have memories of the mill when it was in use.

“We are even planning to resurrect the historic Castleton bed derby,” she added.

Council had no problem granting the request, with Mayor Marc Coombs noting the group is “obviously doing a lot of good” for the township and Castleton.

Lawsuit remains an issue between mill owners, township John Campbell/Metroland

Mill at Piper Creek Arts and Heritage Centre president Candace Cox and secretary Ingrid Anderson persuaded council to recognize their organization as a heritage group. purchased the property.

“It was quite a big job,” she said, and included restoring the foundation.

“The board now has control over the further development of the building.”

“As we move forward we are following established models for arts centres in this area,” such as Fourth Line Theatre in Millbrook and Westben in Campbellford, said Anderson, a Toronto radio personality who serves as secretary for the not-for-profit organization that was incorporated in 2016.

Anderson said the organi-

zation has hosted 11 events in the last 14 months, in Cobourg and Castleton, “providing opportunities for artists and the community while beginning to raise funds” for the creation of an arts and heritage centre.

The events have included a dinner and silent auction, folk concerts with Canadian and international artists, and several popular ceilidhs.

“We even brought a touring opera company in to a large and appreciative crowd, but our greatest success has been ... forging a real connection and real excitement between

the community members of all ages where we live,” she said.

“The positive economic impact of an active arts venue has been widely studied,” Cox said, “As an organization we are really proud of our contribution to our under-served rural population. Tourism is the second biggest economic driver in rural Ontario, following only agriculture.”

She cited an economic impact report prepared by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport based on data the organization provided which determined that “a hundred

Representatives of the Mill at Piper Creek Arts and Heritage Centre had one other request to make of council when they made their presentation Feb. 6: a “reconciliation.”

“We can’t go forward in a united way while an ongoing, multi-year lawsuit hangs over us between the Coxes (Mitchell and Candace, who own the mill) and the township over the sale of the unnamed street behind the mill,” said Ingrid Anderson, a member of the not-for-profit organization’s board of directors.

“As long as that remains unsettled so does our future. It’s a drain on everyone’s resources.”

Anderson asked that council, “in light of recent developments” -- information unearthed in historical documents about where the boundary line actually runs – direct staff and legal team “to work toward an expedient resolution of the lawsuit so we can continue restoration ... and work together as well for the betterment of our community.”

She asked council to give its response at its March 6 meeting.

Mayor Marc Coombs said later in the meeting the dispute concerns the closing of a road allowance by the municipality and its sale to a neighbouring property owner.

The township’s position is that “everything’s been done properly.”

Brighton business owner donates equipment to help fire department SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton – A local business owner representing TriCounty Plastics Ltd. is lending the Brighton District Fire Department a hand with a recent donation.

Doug LeBlanc has donated more than $1,500 worth of equipment and hazardous material spill kits to the department.

As he made the donation, hoping to chip in and help out the department and ultimately residents, LeBlanc said he understands all too well the dangers that can arise if a vehicle or container begins to leak its contents.

Hazardous material spill kits are placed in all of the fire department’s first-run trucks now and ensure the fire department can respond to an incident with a hazardous chemical leak.

Brighton fire chief retiring after nearly three decades of service SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton – After 28-and-a-half-years of service, Lloyd Hutchinson is hanging up his helmet.

Brighton’s long-time fire chief officially retires on Wednesday, Feb. 28.

Hutchinson started out as a volunteer firefighter on July 11, 1989. He’s spent the last eight years at the helm of the Brighton District Fire Department.

“I knew I wanted to do something to work with and help the town and then, the opportunity to join the fire department came up,” said Hutchinson. “I took a lot of courses and worked my way through the ranks and I’ve enjoyed it all the way through.”

And his accomplishments over the years are many, though the chief says he was fortunate to join the department when he did, because he’s had the opportunity to grow with it. “When I joined in '89, the process had just started to replace all the vehicles and we just started doing our own auto-extrication and using the SCBA [self-contained breathing apparatus] equipment, so we could fight fires internally, instead of just outside,” said Hutchinson.

Getting the department its own auto-extrication equipment turned out to be a big undertaking, he noted.

As Hutchinson moved through the ranks, he began to realize the demands for the fire department were growing and growing, and they would likely continue to do so for many years to come.

Because of this and by the time he made chief, he said he knew the addition at Station 2 in Codrington, which included two new bays and a training room, was much needed.

“I’m happy that worked out really well,” he said.

Hutchinson also developed and implemented the Brighton fire master plan, which municipal staff say has been instrumental in modernizing many procedures and policies.

In 2015, he implemented the emergency notification system, which alerts residents of emergency situations or hazards that could affect their health and safety.

Last year, in the wake of record-high water levels and the relentless flooding, Hutchin-

Lloyd Hutchinson will retire on Feb. 28. son and his crew helped multiple waterfront residents to protect their homes and as they battled the weather almost on repeat.

And at least one Harbour Street resident, Grant Harvey Fleming, credited the fire department publicly for essentially saving his kitchen.

Hutchinson also oversaw the updating and standardization of equipment for both fire stations and trained local firefighters to do water and ice rescues.

“We do have a replacement plan in place and have been working to replace our trucks,” said Hutchinson.

During his time at the helm, a rescue truck at Station 2 was replaced and a new water truck and a pumper for Station 1 were secured, in addition to the new rescue truck for Station 1, which was recently finalized but has yet to arrive.

The completion of the fire master plan and securing the water rescue equipment, as well as getting firefighters trained to do those water and ice rescues are two of the bigger initiatives Hutchinson says he is most proud to have been a part of.

“We worked really hard to get the wa-

ter rescue equipment and to get firefighters trained,” he said, adding this was another big undertaking for the department.

Keeping firefighters’ training current and ensuring they remain up-to-date with their skills and are constantly working ahead has been a top priority for the chief as well.

In addition to training local firefighters, Hutchinson has been active in training efforts with fire staff countywide over the years and also served as the community emergency management co-ordinator.

Hutchinson has been involved with several committees for fire safety and countless community activities.

Brighton’s deputy fire chief, Rick Caddick, will be stepping up as chief when Hutchinson retires on Feb. 28.

“The department is running well and I know Rick has some ideas and I know he will keep moving the department forward,” said Hutchinson.

Hutchinson will be enjoying his retirement by spending time with family and at the cottage and on the golf course. He also has plans to travel and tinker around with his old antique tractor.

Deputy fire chief will step in to top post SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton – The community is in good hands with Rick Caddick taking over leadership of the Brighton District Fire Department, says outgoing fire chief Lloyd Hutchinson.

On Tuesday, Feb. 13, the Municipality of Brighton announced Caddick had been hired as the new fire chief and community emergency management co-ordinator.

Caddick is taking over for Hutchinson, as he’s set to retire on Feb. 28.

“I hired him three-and-a-half years ago and he moved here right away, so this should be a seamless transition as he takes over,” said Hutchinson.

Hutchinson is confident that Caddick will do “very well in the role and for the residents of Brighton,” he said.

Before making the move to Brighton to serve as deputy chief, Caddick spent four years as fire chief for the Stirling-Rawdon Fire Department.

He’s looking forward to stepping back into the role he had before, he said.

“Our department is young and we have a great team,” Caddick added. “I see good things happening.”

Following the announcement of Hutchinson’s retirement, CAO Bill Watson reports the municipality embarked on a province-wide process to find a suitable successor and Caddick was ultimately the best fit for the job.

He officially assumes his new duties effective March 1.

“We’ve got started on a lot of positive things and I’m excited to continue on with those,” said Caddick. “We’ve developed a good team…and the growing pains, we’ve sort of already gone through all of that, so at this point we’re going to keep moving forward.”

With Hutchinson retiring and Caddick stepping up, this means the deputy chief position will become vacant.

The process to find a new deputy chief, which will be both an internal and external posting, will begin soon, confirmed Caddick.

COMMENTARY In pride we trust The news that Canada House in the Olympic Village in Pyeongchang, South Korea, is doubling as Pride House for the duration of the 2018 Winter Olympics, is encouraging.

The idea is to give LGBTQ people a safe space to watch the competitions, learn about homophobia in sport and help bridge the gap between mainstream sports and the LGBTQ world.

“Within these walls where those with Olympic hearts come to gather, you are welcomed, accepted and respected,” reads a sign on the wall.

It’s a positive step for an issue that has come a long way but requires further awareness, education and understanding.

This kind of forward thinking made its way to Eastern Ontario recently, John Campbell/Metroland with transgender awareness workshops planned to help educate the public on Rains in December that caused water to pond made it possible for a second rink to be cre- gender diversity through art, history and politics. ated on the upper soccer field.

Hockey Day in Castleton

Trans artists and educators Cara Tierney and Behc Jax-Lynx strive to stimulate conversation on gender diversity in rural communities with performance art and educational workshops, sharing their expansive knowledge in art history, health and wellness, and politics.

The workshops were not intended for transgender people, as they might not learn anything they don’t already know; they are for non-transgender people, or “cisgender” people, to learn more so that they can come to understand and support transgender people in their pursuit to live normal lives, and have the same basic rights as everyone else.

Workshops like these, as well as pride parades, events and initiatives, can go a long way towards furthering the cause, in particular in rural communities where LGBTQ individuals face increased discrimination.

Mother was very fussy about the uses for the tea pot It never left the back of the Findlay Oval. The big white enamel tea pot was always at the ready for anyone who wanted a cup of tea, and it seemed to me, that went on most of the day. Green tea..black was used occasionally, but green tea was what Father preferred.

Mother would bring the water to a boil on the front burner in the tea pot, and never measuring, she would just jab her hand into the tin can that held the tea, and toss it into the pot.

I noticed too, the leaves were different between the green and the black.

Once the green tea had been steeped to Mother or Father’s liking, and poured into a cup, and drank in just a few gulps, the leaves were much larger that those left by black. They seemed to fill the whole bottom of the cup.

But Mother preferred black tea. I heard her tell Uncle Lou when he was visiting that she had never laid eyes on green tea in New York, and that it

took some getting used to out there on the farm in Northcote.

My sister Audrey said Mother couldn’t read the green tea leaves since they sat on the bottom of the cup like wet grass. But when she finished a cup of black tea, she would take a pencil and move the leaves around, and she vowed she could tell what was going to happen down the road just by looking in the bottom of the cup. Audrey said Mother could actually see the future in the black leaves, which scared the living daylights out of me.

in Renfrew, and she was often called a witch, and I lived in dread that someone in Northcote would know Mother could read tea leaves, and call her a witch too. The last one I wanted to know about Mother’s ability was bad Marguirite who would soon tell everyone at the Northcote School. So I kept it pretty quiet about Mother’s fortune telling talents.

The big pot wasn’t just used for just boiling water too. When Mother needed more than she could get out of the big shiny kettle, the white tea pot was filled to the brim and brought to a boil too. This water would be added to the wash tub on Monday mornings, or the big oval tub when we had our Saturday night baths.

never do for anything that would go into our mouths.

It was the big white tea pot that Mother used to water the house plants. She would take water from the pail that sat on a counter near the back door, fill the tea pot, and tend to her geraniums, and if there was a bit of green tea left in the pot, all the better. She said it was good for the plants. She was fussy about what the tea pot was used for too. Once Father took it off the back of the stove and was about to carry it to the barn to stir water into some feed he was mixing.

Mother grabbed the pot from him and said no pot we were drinking from would go anywhere near the barn!

And no matter how often it was washed, the inside eventually took on the colour of the tea. This caused Mother to scour the pot within an inch of its life. She liked a clean white tea pot, inside and out. The pot was always moved to one of the front

burners when a meal was about to be served. Brought to a boil, the handful of green tea tossed in, and in a few minutes, it was ready to serve. The big white pot, it seemed to me had many uses. There wasn’t a kitchen in Northcote that didn’t have one sitting on the back of the cook stove, ready to serve up a cup of tea for any neighbour who happened to drop in at any time of the day. Like a warm hand of friendship, the big white enamel tea pot was always ready.

Council’s passing of interim control bylaw appealed to OMB SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — It’s looking like 2018 will be busy with multiple Ontario Municipal Board hearings.

At the February planning meeting, council learned another of its decisions has been appealed.

While the concrete details were scarce, this latest notice once again came from Aird & Berlis, acting on behalf of a numbered company of which Mayor Mark Walas has long identified as a principal and shareholder.

“All the confirmation just came in today,” said chief administrative officer Bill Watson at the meeting. “We just wanted to inform you that it’s happening.”

Due to the timing of the notice, no formal report was shared with council or the public.

Without the information in front of him at the meeting, Stephen Ashton, manager of planning, building and community development, tried his best to elaborate on the appeal.

This appeal is regarding the passing of Brighton’s recent interim control bylaw, he said.

The bylaw has been passed, but the study to accompany and support it has not been completed.

The avenues by which the study will be funded have only recently been discussed during budget deliberations and a final decision has not been made.

And while the specifics of the appeal have not yet been made public, Ashton said it’s likely somewhat of a general appeal, but obviously related to the condominium development pro-

Volunteer of the Year sees Presqu’ile Park as treasure to be cherished SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — A volunteer’s longtime devotion to Presqu’ile Provincial Park has earned her the John Cole Award.

Each year, the Friends of Presqu’ile Park honour a ‘Volunteer of the Year’ with the award.

And for the year 2017, the Friends’ have chosen to celebrate and honour Janine McClintock.

“Janine is an amazing volunteer and certainly deserved the award,” said Beverlie Cook, chair for the Friends of Presqu’ile Park.

McClintock began her journey when she accepted a summer contract for the role of a park naturalist. From that point on, she was devoted to the park.

Following her summer contract, McClintock became involved with the natural heritage education department and committed six years, serving as a nature interpreter and supervisor.

One goal of nature interpretation is to teach people to care about nature, so that one day, they might care for nature, said McClintock.

Another goal is to help park visitors to feel a “sense of place,” meaning a strong identity, which emerges from experience with and knowledge of the flora, fauna, geology and history, McClintock said.

McClintock later became a science teacher, but her connection with the park could not be severed and she decided to volunteer.

“Being an interpreter allowed me to immerse myself in nature physically and mentally, so it follows that I developed a strong emotional attachment to the park,” said McClintock.

“Hence, I still feel a desire to carry on the work of encouraging people to learn about and hope-

fully, take care of the treasure that we have in Presqu’ile.”

McClintock went on to serve as an adviser for the development of the Kids ‘n Nature school program and summer camp. She took over supervision of the program in its second year.

“From modest beginnings with 40 youngsters attending two camps, to today’s four camps for over 120 children, Janine has devoted countless hours to ensuring the staff are hired and trained, promotion is carried out and the curriculum remains current,” said Cook. “She has also grown the school program to one where demand outstrips available dates.”

When asked to help develop and supervise the new program at the time, for McClintock it was the perfect opportunity to share her experiences from her roles at Presqu’ile and also her knowledge as a science teacher.

Teaching has its benefits, but it didn’t allow McClintock the many opportunities to share her love of nature and Presqu’ile with students, she said.

For the friends, her unwavering commitment over the years has made her the perfect candidate for the John Cole Award.

McClintock is also a valuable member of the communications committee and runs the Sunday school program at her church, noted Cook.

And while a busy supply teacher and mother of three, Cook continued, she is always willing to give back to the park and her community.

In 1988, John Cole became the first chair for the friends. Dr. Cole was a University of Toronto history professor, who retired to Castleton.

It’s said he loved to visit the park to walk the trails and when the park superintendent called

Letter

Good news from Brighton council Dear Editor, Your article in the Feb. 15 Independent, ‘Council will financially support local business awards’ indicates that a plurality of Brighton Council is now willing to invest in, and support, economic development initiatives.

This welcome change has been a long time coming bearing in mind that one of the first actions of the current council (in February 2015) was to cancel economic development programs established by the previous council and progressively step away from partnering with the Cham-

ber of Commerce.

Council support for the Chamber of Commerce awards is a relatively small step forward but hopefully signifies that a majority of council now take a longer term view and appreciate that such initiatives not only create local employment opportunities but over time an expanding business sector will contribute additional taxes and proportionally reduce the tax burden on residents.

for volunteers to form the Friends group, Cole responded.

He donated countless hours to get the group up-and-running and became well known for his humour. He died suddenly while on vacation in England and during his term in office. The friends’ renamed its volunteer award in his honour.

The Friends of Presqu’ile Park is a charitable organization devoted to preserving and protecting the natural heritage of the park. The group works to enhance educational opportunities for park visitors, to provide volunteer assistance for park activities and provides funding for select educational and environmental projects.

“As a volunteer, I get to still be a part of the

education program at Presqu’ile and part of the greater cause of environmental education,” said McClintock.

And even before her recent award, McClintock was rich with rewards from her volunteer work.

Part of her reward is seeing people acquire a love for nature and environmental leadership, who then pass that along to kids and campers, she said. Volunteering is a great opportunity to use one’s gifts to contribute to the community, but also a chance for personal development, she added.

The icing on the cake is McClintock’s met so many talented people who share her love for Presqu’ile, she said.

Ask a Dentist ?

Why are Dentists so important?

Well the obvious fact is that with regular dental check-ups, a Dentist helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy. The Canadian Dental Association recommends a visit to your dentist be every six months. This is to maintain the health of your teeth and gums, and it is essential to follow good daily oral hygiene to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy between visits. A Dentist will carefully examine your overall dental health, as well as your overall physical health. Did you know that Dentists have detected many health issues in their patients that have not otherwise been caught by their physicians? Dentists have saved many lives by identifying diseases such as diabetes, anemia, and even cancer.

So, the next time you’re in to see your dentist, ask questions, be informed, and be aware of what is going on in Your mouth.

Quinte West-Brighton Relay for Life supporters wanted at upcoming events SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — In the weeks and months leading up to the big event, local residents will be asked to show their support for the Quinte West-Brighton Relay for Life.

“There are many great causes out there to try and help support now, and we wish them all luck, but in the end, we still need support from the communities to keep these events going,” said Lauren Dashnay, the chair for the newly amalgamated event.

On Wednesday, Feb. 28, residents are being asked to consider participating in a Paint Night event, which will be hosted by the Back Porch Originals at the Trenton Knights of Columbus Hall.

The event starts at 6:30 p.m. and tickets are $40 per person, with $20 of that $40 going to Relay for Life.

Relay Rallies will be held in Trenton and Brighton. The first will be held at Trenton High School on March 6 from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

The second Relay Rally will be in Brighton at the King Edward Park Community Centre on April 12. This event will also run from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

These events are meant for new and previous participants.

For these rallies, the committee sets

up a mini-like Relay for Life, to give those coming in an idea of what the event is like, said Dashnay.

Individuals and teams can sign up at the rallies and ask questions. Luminaries will also be available to purchase and decorate.

People interested in volunteering for the relay are encouraged to attend and give their names. At the rallies, attendees will also hear about this year’s mission for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Updates will continue to be available via the QW-Brighton Relay for Life Facebook page and on Instagram (@qwbrightonrelay). Residents may also choose to connect with the committee through these platforms.

Fast facts from the Canadian Cancer Society In total, Relay for Life (nationwide) has raised more than $500 million for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Funds are used to support “Canada’s most promising cancer research” and vital support services for people with cancer and their families, the society says.

The following statistics were updated in June 2017 Nearly one-in-two Canadians will likely be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and about one-in-four will die.

An estimated 206,200 Canadians

were expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2017 (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) and about 80,800 would die.

Since the peak in the cancer death rate in Canada in 1988, an estimated 179,000-plus deaths have been avoided as a result of cancer prevention and control efforts.

The five-year cancer survival rate has increased from 25 per cent in the 1940s, to 60 per cent today.

Impact of an aging population The number of cancer cases continues to rise each year, primarily because of the growing and aging Canadian population, reports the Canadian Cancer Society.

The Canadian Cancer Statistics 2015 report showed the average annual number of cancer cases in 2028-32 is projected to be 79 per cent higher than it was in 2003-07.

In 2017, it was estimated that 89 per cent of all cancers would be diagnosed in Canadians ages 50 and over, and 45 per cent would occur in Canadians ages 70 and older.

“With the continued increase in the number of new cancers, the Canadian health-care system faces increasing demand for cancer services, including diagnostics, treatment, palliative care and survivor supports.”

Relay for Life events merge SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — In 2018, the Brighton and Quinte West Relay for Life events will merge into one.

The decision to combine the two events was not made at the local level, but nationally and by the Canadian Cancer Society, says Lauren Dashnay, the chair for the newly amalgamated event.

This will be a first for the community, to not host its own Relay for Life event. In 2017, the Brighton Relay for Life celebrated its 10th anniversary and Quinte West celebrated its fourth.

This summer, a Relay for Life event will be hosted which includes the Brighton community, but it will be shared with and based in Quinte West.

The QW-Brighton Relay for Life is set for Saturday, June 2, at the Trenton High School track. The event will run from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

And Brightonians’ support is still needed in the fight against cancer.

Dashnay and fellow committee members are calling on the communities to come together for the June Relay for Life and for events leading up to the big day. “We all need each other’s help to kick cancer in the butt, pure and simple,” said Dashnay.

The chair is hoping Brighton will bring both some new and longtime supporters to contribute to an amaz-

ing event this year.

This is something new to both communities and committee members are doing all they can to include both Quinte West and Brighton as much as possible and by hosting fundraisers and holding events known as Relay Rallies, said Dashnay.

One community is not more important than the other and where this event is hosted doesn’t make it any less special, she added.

As for whether the Brighton relay will remain merged with Quinte West that call can apparently only be made at the national level.

And it very well could stay merged with Quinte West, said Dashnay.

What isn’t changing is that the dollars raised in this area, stay in this area. So, if teams, participants and sponsors come from Brighton, Quinte West, Belleville, Picton or Bancroft, all of that will support “all our communities, no matter where the dollars were raised.”

Should Brighton remain merged with Quinte West, the Independent did inquire as to whether some consideration would later be given to alternating communities to host the relay event. “I personally don’t see why this cannot be an option,” said Dashnay, noting if the support was there from the Brighton community, this is something that could be looked into.

Rev. Deborah Elliott.

Brighton’s Own: The Reverend who went from one Salem to another VIC SCHUKOV

Deborah Elliott was born in Rhode Island while her Dad was in theology school. Being the child of an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church, she traveled about as much as a military brat: In California at age 5, and in Salem, New Hampshire by age 9.

“Back then,” said Elliott, "the church believed that the minister should not have an attachment to the congregation, so the bishop would move you within five years. Over the years, it became evident that ministry doesn’t begin until you have been there at least five years. The church now understands that long term is a better ministry.”

At 14, she felt a strong calling: “I wanted to be just like Dad. I used to wear his dicky and march around the house preaching to my brothers and sister. (Laughing) But there weren’t any female role models.

Hard to imagine myself in a pulpit, it seemed an impossible goal.”

In Salem, N.H., Elliott completed community college before settling down to raise a family. In her 20s, she embarked on a journey that would be really helpful to her eventual ministry, like being a director for both a detox centre and a shelter for abused women.

“If a Christian woman came

into the shelter, they would say go talk to Deborah, and I would open the Bible. Working in the secular world, I found it increasingly difficult to be a closet Christian. In my 30s, in a defining moment, I answered a newspaper ad for a staff associate in a United church south of Ottawa.”

The position entailed working with youth, maintaining the library and preaching occasionally. “I had been lay preaching for 10 years, and knew I could do all of those things.”

She met the minister, got the job, and loved it. “He advised me to become a minister, but I was reluctant because I thought I wasn’t smart enough or patient enough. He asked me who my role model was and I said him. And he said, “If you think I’m patient, you should talk to my wife’” (Laughing.)

Then he made a phone call: “He told the Chair of the local board I would be preaching in the church of a nearby town, and didn’t tell me. I did a service for 400 parishioners. The next day, I got a call for an interview and they hired me. I was not even ordained. I was 39.”

Within months, the congregation encouraged her to go to theology school. “I had a Bachelor's degree in Public Administration and a Masters in Health Administration. Part of me always thought I would work in

8 Brighton Independent - Thursday, February 22, 2018

a nursing home. I used to jokingly tell my grandparents I was going to open a home and they were going to be my patients.”

Over the next four years, while doing summer internships in Orillia, Chabot Lake and North Bay, she got her degree from Queen's Theological College. Following subsequent ministries in Orillia, Timmins and Sarnia, she went to Nicaragua for four years in the Moravian Church, partners of the United Church. (“The United Church provides what they need. It might be person or a tractor,” she said jokingly.)

A Grafton friend informed her of a Cold Springs church seeking a minister for 10 months. She came and served, then heard about Salem’s Heritage United. She has been here now for 14 months.

“I don’t have a philosophy,” said Reverend Elliott. “I have a theology. I am passionate about justice and the church serving the community. We try and live our lives serving others. Every day as a minister is different and a challenge because people’s lives are complicated, and you get involved. My theology is all about relationships. I value and put a lot into them.”

Local author says her second book offers readers ‘a blueprint to a better life’ SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — A local resident has penned her second book and is hoping it will empower people.

At the end of 2017, Alexandria Barker released her latest book, Wishful Thanking; 7 Simple Steps to Abundance.

“It’s like having a life coach in a book,” said Barker. “It’s meant to provide people with the right tools and ideas, so they can live the best life possible.”

And for people who are ready and who are looking to improve their lives, Barker is suggesting they give the book a shot.

Ultimately, that’s the intent of the book; it’s meant to empower people, said the author.

Several years ago, Barker wrote Relief Beyond Belief, which offered readers the chance to explore the world of natural healing. Following the release of her book, she had a talk show and her own quarterly magazine, both

A former journalist, Barker started her journey as a type of “spiritual trainer” after her father died.

Barker said she got on a plane to go and see her father before he passed,

and when she flew back home, she felt like a different person. That experience awakened “my spirituality,” she said.

Some 20 years later, Barker continues to want to help people through life coaching, through meditation teachings, and through other therapies and work, as well as through her books.

Her latest book has a lot to do with the law of attraction, the balancing of one’s chakras and shares Barker’s life success system, which she’s been refining and building on for many years, she said.

It breaks these big ideas and desires into bite-sized nuggets, so goals are easier and more manageable for people to achieve, said Barker. It’s meant to offer people a blueprint to a better life, she added.

Northumberland County budget gets approval from council DOMINIK WISNIEWSKI dwisniewski@northumberlandnews.com

NORTHUMBERLAND — Following a six-week public and council review period, Northumberland County has approved its 2018 budget.

The $124 million budget achieves a base levy increase below the 2 per cent target set by council, coming in at 1.91 per cent.

It also includes a dedicated infrastructure levy of 0.3 per cent for investments required for the maintenance and rebuild of local critical infrastructure such as roads and bridges.

“The county budget process emphasizes long-term planning in order to meet the needs and expectations of our residents and businesses within a framework of fiscal sustainability,” said Warden Mark Lovshin. “The 2018 budget responds to council’s target levy increase of 2 per cent or less while ensuring that we continue to deliver essential services and fulfil key actions in our Strategic Plan.”

He said there are significant initiatives captured within this budget, as council looks forward to measured progress for the benefit of the community.

The county levy will fund approximately 50 per cent of the 2018 budget, while the remainder will be generated through a combination of grants and subsidies from other levels of govern-

Colborne library CEO anxiously awaits news of Trillium funding JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Colborne – It's a good thing February's short.

Colborne Library chief executive officer Mary Norton won't have to wait as long to find out if the Ontario Trillium Foundation will grant her the $150,000 she has requested.

An answer is expected March 2 and Norton is hoping it's good news because without the grant the library won't be able to expand.

And it really needs more room to keep pace with growing demand for its services.

“The reason for the expansion it's not simply taking out books, we're really becoming a community hub,” she said. “We have lots of programs now.”

“I would like to think a library stands a chance (of being funded) because you're helping such a great cross-section of your community,” spanning all ages, Norton said.

Story time, for example, used to be for three-year-olds but parents are now bringing in children as young as nine months, she said.

At the other end of the spectrum, there are three men in their 90s among the seniors who have received one-onone training in the use of computers and social media.

More than 100 men and women took part in the six one-hour sessions

John Campbell/Metroland

Colborne Public Library CEO Mary Norton is hopeful the library will secure the funding it needs to expand and to renovate to keep pace with the growing demand for its services. before Christmas.

“We're full up again until the end of March,” Norton said.

The $8,000 provincial grant the library obtained for the program also made it possible for the library

to offer traditional rural handicraft workshops on sewing, quilting, knitting and crocheting to more than 110 people.

Norton said enrolment in library programs increased by 38 per cent to

4,318 in 2017.

The library, which currently has about 2,200 members who are “active card holders,” is “so limited in space” that some of its programs are held at the Keeler Centre, but should the

$251,000 project go forward, they will in future take place in a 554-squarefoot addition that's to be built at the rear of the library.

Also planned are extensive renovations that include installing accessibility doors and creating dedicated areas for teens and for reading.

“We have nowhere now where you can just sit and relax as you can in larger libraries,” Norton said.

Cramahe Township has agreed to contribute $101,000 to the cost of the project but its participation is contingent on the library getting foundation funding. “If I don't get Trillium it will all not happen,” Norton said, and “we'll be very sad.”

Providing funding to enable library staff to offer a community “the best resources they can seems like a sensible idea.”

The building is already there “so why not make it the best possible?”

Norton is “so hopeful” of getting the grant that she arranged with the Peterborough Public Library, which has a new $12 million facility, to donate a truckload of furniture it no longer needed.

The tables, chairs, shelving and sofas are in “fabulous condition” and easily worth $15,000, Norton said.

“We're very conscious that we do not have the finances to furnish the new expansion.”

Colborne's Apple Blossom Festival will celebrate 30 years in May JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Colborne – Expect to see a few new things when Apple Blossom Tyme Festival celebrates its 30th anniversary in May. “We have a whole new zoo exhibit coming, (along with) lots of new things that have never been done before,” festival committee chair Jen McGlennon said.

There will be new food trucks coming and plans are being made to have a cafe set up inside the Keeler Centre “so that people can sit down and enjoy some of the entertainment that's on the stage as well,” she said.

Full details on what will take place will be made public in a few weeks when the schedule for the May 25-27 event is updated on the festival's website, www. appleblossomtyme.com.

“March 10 is our goal,” McGlennon said.

What festival-goers won't see this year is a midway.

“The midway for the last several years has been a bit of a nightmare for us,” she said. “We did try going with another company last year and it was better but they have now folded.”

The midway that organizers had used for years previously caused “way too many problems two years ago,” she added.

The midway has become “a thing of the past,” she said. “The companies ... want far too much money to come and set up.”

A host of festival favourites will be returning, however, including plenty of climbing structures, “large inflatables,” a beer garden, a spelling bee, an apple pieeating contest, a Sunday church service, a baby contest and a display by the fire department.

“We are trying to make as much of it as free as possible,” McGlennon said. “There's no entry fee.”

The organizing committee hopes to arrange for Little Obie, a scale model of a CN locomotive that comes with a flat car and caboose, be on hand to offer rides a second year.

It “was a huge hit last year,” she said.

The 2017 festival was “wonderful, we were really, really pleased with attendance,” McGlennon continued. Having the Keeler Centre as the venue “has really made a lot more things possible for us to do.”

The committee had requested $5,000 from Cramahe Township because of the milestone the festival will mark in May but council chose to stick with the $2,000 it usually provides.

“It hurts a little bit,” McGlennon said, but the committee will try to make up the difference through sponsorships.

Brighton Leo Club’s Christmas fundraiser surpasses $3,000 goal SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton – With help from many, local youth have once again managed to exceed expectations.

The Brighton Leo Club has proudly announced it will donate $3,225 to the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides and its adopt-a-puppy program.

“The hard work by the Leos, combined with the tremendous support from our community, our sponsors and the Brighton Lions Club contributed to the success,” said Nancy Bahniuk, one-of-two Leo advisers.

In the weeks leading up to Christmas last year, local youth wrapped hundreds of Christmas presents for cats and dogs, which they later sold to raise funds for the foundation. The young people wrapped some 350 bundles of toys and foods, including about 200 for dogs and 150 for cats.

Sarah Pennington, a Grade 11 East Northumberland Secondary School student and the president of the Leo club, wanted this year’s fundraiser to surpass the $3,000 mark, so the club was doing its part to help more people in need to be paired with a dog guide.

The Leo’s Christmas fundraiser primarily helps with the first-year medical costs for the dog guides. The full costs to train a single dog guide are estimated in the $30-$35,000 range.

The Leos will visit the foundation this File photo spring, to see first-hand the training provid- Sarah Pennington and Noah Leger wrapped dozens of cat and dog presents for the ed to the future dog guides.

Midget Braves ride defence to take lead in series

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

JOHN CAMPBELL

Warkworth – The bantam B Cold Creek Comets are a force to be reckoned with.

The team lost just three times in 22 matches during the regular season and it remains undefeated in the playoffs after six games.

The Comets are playing parallel series in the post-season. One is to determine the champion of the Lower Lakes Female Hockey League, where they finished second in the East Division.

They bested the Peterborough Ice Kats in the first round, winning 2-0 and 1-0, and playing to a 0-0 draw in the other match.

John Campbell/Metroland They won the opener of the second The puck appears to be rolling into the net but a ref said he never saw it cross round 3-0 against the Napanee Crunch. the line. The no-goal proved critical as the game ended in a 1-1 tie.

They play them again Feb. 20 at the Strathcona Paper Centre and Feb. 24 at the King Edward Arena. Game time is 4 p.m.

In the Ontario Women's Hockey Association playdowns, Cold Creek is squaring off against the Ice Kats and the Lindsay Lynx in a round robin of home and away matches to determine who will advance to the provincial tournament in Scarborough.

The Comets defeated the Lynx 3-1 on the road last Saturday and came close to notching a second win a day later in Warkworth when they led 1-0 with 30 seconds left to play only to have the visitors tie the match on a shot that deflected off the leg of a Cold Creek defender.

The team appeared to have taken a 2-0 lead in the second period but the referee whistled the play dead, saying he hadn't seen the puck enter the net.

“I'm not really sure how he missed John Campbell/Metroland it,” coach Rod Torrance said afterward.

The Comets play the Ice Kats at Captain Gillian Forestell, on the right, was understandably excited after scoring her home Feb. 21 and in Peterborough team's only goal, in the second period. Teammate Kaya Brahany thought she had scored later in the frame but the referee ruled no goal.

Brighton – Although their offence has been held to just two goals in two games, the midget Brighton Braves have taken three points out of four in their quarter-final CC playdowns with the Douro Dukes in the Eastern Ontario Minor Hockey League (EOMHL).

The two teams tied 1-1 at the King Edward Arena Feb. 17 and Brighton shut out Douro on its home ice 1-0 the next day.

The peewee Braves are on the ropes in their CC playdowns, having dropped their first two games to the Frontenac Flyers 5-2 and 5-3.

The atom squad rebounded from an 8-3 loss to the Flyers in their series opener by winning 4-1 home at home Feb. 18.

The novice Braves complete their round robin play in the East division of the EOMHL with a 12 p.m. game at home Feb. 25 against the Bancroft Jets. Brighton’s record against the division’s six other teams with two games remaining was two wins, seven losses and one tie.

Stars end season by finishing in seventh place Colborne – The Northumberland Stars closed out the regular season by being knocked out of sixth place in the South Division of the Greater Metro Jr. A Hockey League, after holding onto the spot since October.

A six-game winning streak by the Windsor Aces coupled with the Stars managing just one win in their last 17 games proved Northumberland's undoing.

The Stars finished in seventh with a record of 1521-6, five points behind the Aces.

After defeating Totten-

ham at home Feb. 9, Northumberland played its last four games on the road and lost them all.

Scoring for Northumberland in the three most recent losses were Adrian Frias (12), Robert James (1-4), Malik Henry (2-1), Joshua Hall (2-1), Benjamin Crowchild (2-2) and Tim Lavigne.

Tyler McGregor led the team with 35 goals and 32 assists for 67 points, followed

by Tyler Brackin (27-24) and Evan Wasylyk (24-22).

Three goaltenders – Curtis Campbell, Ilshat Zaripov and Aaron Esposito – garnered five wins apiece.

Change in date for Castleton outdoor hockey tournament works out nicely JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Castleton – There were no scores kept in the dozens of games played outdoors last Saturday at the Castleton Cup Pond Hockey Tournament but organizers could claim a victory over Mother Nature.

Jeff Turney and Stacy King got the better of her by moving the event up two days from Family Day Feb. 19 when they became concerned weather forecasts were predicting rain for the date they had originally scheduled.

“I apologize for this change but right now (it's) salvage something or have nothing for the players,” Turney explained in an email he sent last week to the teams that had entered. “We have been working on two rinks for the last month and a half to prepare for this. (This) has not been an easy event to host.”

The decision to switch dates proved a wise move. The weather turned cold a day before the tournament, providing ideal conditions for outdoor ice at the Castleton Sports Field.

Saturday turned out to be perfect as well – overcast and cold, but not so cold as to make it unbearable.

The ice had started to melt when the weather turned mild but when the freeze returned, it produced bumps that needed attention in the hours leading up to until the first game at 8 a.m., Turney said.

“Didn't get much sleep,” King said.

Twelve teams had to drop out because they had other commitments for Feb. 17, “which is unfortunate,” Turney said.

But the “date change we had to do” because they were calling for tem-

“It's fantastic to see this many people,” Turney said, taking note of the large number of players and spectators at the two rinks; the second one, on the upper field, became possible because of rainfalls in December.

Each game was 25 minutes long and teams played four aside. “Very good turnout ... Everyone's having fun, that's all that matters,” King said.

“The organizers have done a phenomenal job at keeping the rink perfect, especially with all the warm weather. Everyone was nervous,” said

Megan Dekeyser, who was there with her son Mac, 6, and his teammates who play for Colborne's novice team.

But it turned out to be “a great Canadian day” for pond hockey. “The kids are loving it, the adults are loving it,” she said. “It's fantastic ... It's a nice day to be outside.”

The event was a fundraiser for the Castleton Sports Club to cover the cost of lighting the lower rink so it can also be used evenings. “There's been some really nice donations,” Turney said. “It's a pretty good little fundraiser for us and it means a lot.”

The rink “puts Castleton on the map,” said Chance White, 20, who got up at 6 a.m. to drive home to Castleton from Sudbury, where he attends Laurentian University, to play in the tournament. His father Kevin is the president of the sports club. “The ice is always great,” he said. Having an ice resurfacer “makes it that much more authentic.”

Province's first black recreation director got his start in Colborne JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

John Campbell/Metroland

Cole Eddy from Colborne dries out his hockey gloves over the fire pit during the pond hockey tournament in Castleton over the weekend.

Colborne – Ontario's first black recreation director started out in Colborne.

Bob Turner broke the colour barrier when he was hired in 1954 to be the village's first recreation director.

Turner, who had played briefly as a catcher for the Chicago White Sox as well as toured with the Harlem Globetrotters for one season, held the job for four years running a program for 100 boys and girls.

He was written up in a Toronto Daily Star article published in January 1955 that said his approach to preventing juvenile delinquency was to provide recreation for young people between the ages of six and 15.

Get them “interested in a game and (they) won't find time for trouble,” the article quoted Turner.

A Cramahe Township resident who played on Turner's baseball team when he was 13 remembered him as “a southern

gentleman from North Carolina (who) had a great talent for seeing the best in kids.”

Some of the youngsters “needed a guiding hand and he gave it to us,” said Ellis Sheldrick, whose comments from January 2016 can be viewed online in the digital archives that the Colborne Library maintains (www.http:// vitacollections.ca/cramahelibrary/search).

Turner also established a Colborne Recreation Trumpet Band and Baton Corps with the help of his sister Maude and it performed at Toronto Maple Leafs baseball games.

It was also invited to per-

form at the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, California in 1957 but had to decline because not enough of its members could make the trip.

Legacy celebrated Turner's legacy will be celebrated Feb. 26 when several local residents who were “influenced” by him will recall the positive effect he had on their lives at a special event that will take place as part of Black History Month.

The event gets underway at 3:30 p.m.

“He was just a wonderful man who happened to be black, which is what that generation feels about him,” li-

brary CEO Mary Norton said.

After spending four years at Colborne, Turner moved to Cornwall where he became its first recreation director as well.

He died at age 35 in 1962 following a minor operation in which his heart stopped. He was revived but remained in a coma until his death several days later.

A Colborne resident subsequently wrote in a letter to the weekly newspaper that Turner's “life had known no limits and his deeds would be a living memorial to every man, woman and child who had known him.”
