JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Council supports a blended tax rate increase of 3.45 per cent but at this point it's just a recommendation that members endorsed while meeting as committee of the whole April 10. A majority voted then in favour of the hike after director of finance Linda Widdifield showed what the impact will be when all three tax levies - municipal (which is forecast to rise 6.67 per cent), county (1.69 per cent increase) and education (a decrease of 2.82 per cent) - are combined. She calculated the owner of a $300,000 residence in 2018 that's been reassessed at $307,827 in 2019 will pay $3,791 in total, an increase of $126. Left out of the budget was a one per cent tax levy dedicated for infrastructure renewal that Mayor Brian Ostrander had champi-

oned to begin making headway in upgrading the municipality's declining physical assets. "We're up against the clock," Ostrander said. "We know we should be spending another $500,000 on roads annually than we are this year ... 6.25 per cent every single year is what we need." Coun. Emily Rowley supported the one per cent infrastructure levy, noting it would add just $1.50 more a month in taxes on a $300,000 home. "And if we sharpened our penSee MAYOR, page 3

cils we could bring it a lot lower than 3.45 (per cent tax increase) because I'm not satisfied with that either," Coun. Mary Tadman said. "There's a lot of people struggling ... (who are) living on a fixed income." However, when it came time to vote on setting a tax levy of $8.7 million that didn't include money for a special infrastructure reserve, Ostrander, after a long pause, went along with the majority in a recorded vote, with Tadman and Rowley being opposed. Rowley said she wished the tax increase was higher because of the pressing need for infrastructure upgrades. Resident David Green took council to task for making "an incorrect and weak-kneed decision." A tax increase of one per cent for infrastructure re-

Mayor Brian Ostrander newal "was a good start and two per cent wouldn't hurt." "You haven't helped yourselves," or the municipality, by not making "the infrastructure investment that we were all expecting, and that some of you campaigned on," Green said. "Why did you cave?" "I'm happy with what we've done," Coun. Ron Anderson responded. Council members put "an awful lot of thought" into making sure they're "spending the money wisely" and not going "overboard" by moving "too quickly." "The reason I caved and voted in favour of the 3.45 per cent global tax rate is entirely to support council's decision to move forward with the budget," Ostrander explained. He vowed he will "continue to pitch" the one per

cent infrastructure levy for the next three budgets because it's "a progressive and wise thing to do." "Maybe next year I'll advocate for two per cent," Ostrander added. "I do not cave on anything," Coun. Doug LeBlanc told Green. But the budget contains "the largest tax increase" the municipality will have in years, he said. He would like to do more this year, "but we can only afford so much," he said. Ostrander noted chief administrative officer Bob Casselman will prepare a report showing what the infrastructure deficit is. "I suspect that one per cent will look like a drop in the bucket," he said. Council's next budget discussion will take place May 6.

WHAT'S ON

REZONING PAVES WAY FOR MEDICAL INDOOR YARD SALE CLINIC TO SET UP ON MAIN STREET SUPPORTS BRIGHTON JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The centuryold brick dwelling at the corner of Main and Frank streets will be expanded to include a medical clinic that offers physiotherapy, chiropractic and massage therapy services. Council cleared the way for it to be added by rezon-

ing the 935-square metre property at the request of Kyle Meringer, the owner of PhysioHouse, which has clinics in Belleville, Trenton and Colborne. A two-storey addition will be built at the rear of the dwelling to accommodate the proposed new uses. The clinic will operate on the first floor and two residential units will be construct-

ed on the second floor. The zoning change was supported by the municipality's planning consultants but opposed by three residents who attended council's April 5 planning meeting. Will Carmichael submitted a three-page letter setting out why he was against the rezoning, arguing it will result in "serious traffic and parking problems" that will increase the potential for accidents. “ The location "simply will not work for the staff, clientele or neighbours in this area," Carmichael wrote, because parking is already in very short supply and access to Main Street is fraught with risk. Visibility is limited because of parked cars and

vehicles are travelling at a high rate of speed, he said. He reiterated his concerns in a presentation to council and was joined by two other residents who also complained about the parking shortage that currently exists in the area. The proposal calls for 14 parking spaces to be located on-site, which is less than the 17 at minimum required under the bylaw, but given "the availability of public parking proximal to the property, the reduced number of parking spaces is considered appropriate," says Landmark Associates Limited in its report. "I like the services this place has to offer, it will be a value add for our community," Coun. Mark Bateman said.

CURLING CLUB As the adage goes, one person's junk is another person's treasure, and Sandra Dunk has been helping organizations by hosting yard sales and raising funds by selling these treasures for charity. "I have been involved with the curling club for over 40 years," said Dunk. "I do not curl anymore, but that does not mean that I will stop helping them and volunteering in my community." Dunk is again leading the large indoor yard sale at the Brighton & District Curling Club on Saturday, April 27. "I have a good group of volunteers to help and will

have everything organized and priced accordingly," said Dunk. "This is what makes a good yard sale." This year's sale runs from 8 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. At 1:30 to 2 p.m., leftover items go on for half price sale (with some exceptions) and from at 2 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. everything is free with a small donation (with some exceptions). No early birds allowed. Do you have some items you would like to donate to the sale? Call Dunk at 613475-2909. This fundraising yard sale will help fund the refurbishment of the inside of the curling club.

SURE, I RECYCLE BUT IT'S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH A GOOD STEWARD DOES MORE THAN FILL BLUE BOXES AND REMEMBER TO USE CLOTH BAGS, SAYS JOHN CAMPBELL

northumberlandnews.com

JOHN CAMPBELL Column

Confession: I could be doing more to save the planet. Sure, I recycle, keep the homestead igloo-ey in winter and hothouse-y in summer, and turn the lights off when I enter - yes, enter a room that's occupied, confident that my mere presence will brighten the surroundings. Even when it doesn't yes, it happens now and then - a room that empties upon my arrival is no longer in need of illumination now, is it? Me? Oh, I've learned to live in the dark. Married life will do that for you. Not knowing everything that's going on in the family is the surest way for hubbies to maintain a state of wedded bliss. I've also instructed The Help - my wife hates it when I refer to her thusly, but she is rather helpful and deserving of a title - to launder my clothing only after the apparel has been worn several days in a row and the need for a good washing has become evident. Now, before you get all

judgmental, you should know that the policy applies only to shirts, pants and hosiery; undergarments are changed according to prevailing custom. I do use cloth bags when grocery shopping - when I remember to take them along. When I don't, plastic bags unfortunately become a requisite purchase. It happens often enough that I am working on redesigning pants to give them deep pockets that can be pulled inside out and used as grocery bags. Also in development are jerseys with elongated hoodies for carrying food and drink, and a pouch in front to hold plastic bags that are to be used again and again. Despite these heroic efforts to reduce one's footprint, I remain well short of being a good steward of the Earth. Lights do get left on despite one's best intentions, and showers last longer than proper hygiene requires - taking as many as three songs on the radio with commercial breaks to complete. You can understand, then, why I'm looking forward to when the county introduces its green bin program next fall. I'm big on diversion and am easily distracted. But this initiative will receive my full attention. It's bad enough when food goes to waist, but to have food not eaten also go to waste is unforgivable. Turning it into compost is the logical thing to do. John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

LETTERS & COMMENTARY â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;CHATTY ECCENTRICâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; HONOURED BY COLUMNIST'S DESCRIPTION Dear Editor: In your April 4 edition, I learned that as your Vic Schukov was interviewing Alesha Camp, my name came up and they both laughed. Making two people laugh isn't much of an accomplishment, but this old Earth is deficient in mirth, and I'm happy to make even a small contribution. Vic went on to say other kind things and described me as a chatty eccentric. What an honour to be recognized for what you are by such nice people. You may have guessed that I have decided not to sue. There will be more than enough entertainment as the PM sues the Leader of the Opposition. In my case, I fear a judge might decide my reputation was worth about a nickel and only 20 per cent damaged resulting in an award for which Canada no longer has a

unit of currency. No doubt my new honour comes with responsibilities. I trust those who made the appointment will alert me when my services are needed.

JOE BANBURY, THE CHATTY ECCENTRIC

LIGHTHOUSE LOOKS GREAT, READER REPORTS Dear Editor: A few days ago I used my new Presqu'ile Park pass and was pleased to see the fencing and scaffolding has been removed from the lighthouse. It is looking great and will be even better once the lower level renovations are complete. Congratulations to Norman Bastin for starting the renovation process and taking the first steps in forming the Preservation Society. Well done, all the volunteers who have since devoted a lot of time to fundraising (despite the disappointing episode of fund embezzlement), and all the businesses in-

volved with the actual work.

POLICE SEIZE ESTIMATED $135K WORTH OF CANNABIS, WEAPONS ONE BRIGHTON RESIDENT AND ONE QUINTE WEST RESIDENT FACING CHARGES NORTHUMBERLAND - Police have seized weapons and an estimated $135,000 worth of cannabis after a traffic stop. On April 15, the Northumberland OPP released a statement detailing two arrests after a traffic stop on April 11. Just after 1 a.m. on April 11, of-

ficers say they conducted a traffic stop for a Highway Traffic Offence involving a black Chevrolet pickup truck travelling west on Telephone Road in Brighton. "Officers noted that there was a strong odour of cannabis emanating from the vehicle," said police.

Police are now saying more than 13.5 kilograms of cannabis was seized, along with weapons, including a conducted energy weapon, as a result of the traffic stop. The street value of the seized cannabis is being estimated at about $135,000. As a result of the investigation, Maxwell Drake Jenkins, 25, of Brighton, and Breanne Hass, 24, of Quinte West, have both been

arrested and charged with drug and weapon-related offences. Both Drake and Hass are charged with possession of cannabis for the purpose of selling, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a prohibited device or ammunition and possession of a prohibited device or ammunition for dangerous purposes. Hass was further charged with having care or control of vehicle with cannabis readily avail-

able. None of the charges have been proven in court. Both of the accused were released and are scheduled to appear in Cobourg court on May 22.

ENSS STUDENTS EARN BERTH AT NATIONAL SCIENCE FAIR JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Two Grade 10 students at East Northumberland Secondary School, will take their project on bioplastics to the Canadawide Science Fair in Fredericton next month. Hana Haytaoglu and Hannah MacAusland qualified for the national competition by placing first in the intermediate category for computer and engineering sciences at the 50th Peterborough Regional Science Fair held April 10 at Trent University. They also placed second overall, competing against more than 350 students, and won three special awards as well Trent University special medical stream, Noblegen Innovation Award, and the Professional Engineers of Ontario prize for innovation and impact.

It was the second straight year that Haytaoglu and MacAusland had presented a project on bioplastics at the regional fair. While in Grade 9, they came up with a potato starch plastic as an alternative to fossil fuel plastics which are causing massive problems for Earth's ecosystems because they're not biodegradable. They are motivated to find a solution because the environment "is getting ruined, it's a mess," Haytaoglu said. "It's terrible what people don't pay attention to," MacAusland added. Through experimentation the two of them discovered adding sunflower oil to their plastic enhanced the growth of marigold seeds, which suggested it might be useful as a fertilizing mulch. Adding castor oil on the other hand inhibited the growth of both marigold

Being biodegradable, both mulches are environmentally friendly. The material could also be used in fast food wrappers and the lining of paper cups. Queen's University and the University of North Car-

olina have shown interest in their work and have agreed to conduct further tests of the bioplastics the students have created. Tests carried out at Queen's have already proved their bioplastic is degradable. The students also got to visit the lab at the university in February. The students plan to con-

ENSS sent 42 students to the Peterborough Regional Science Fair and the school's seniors contingent – students in grades 11 and 12 – placed first overall in their age group. Many of them placed among the top three in their category: • Intermediate Earth and Environmental Sciences - third, Mia Callahan, Ciarra Lungley, Mackenna McCue (honourable mention, Sarah Shannon) • Senior Health and Life Sciences - second, Abby McLean, Kiera Taylor; third, Will Macaulay, Emma Ellis (honourable mention, Leah Herrington) • Senior Computer and Engineering Sciences - second, Sam Dibbits, Alex Green (tablet), Jared Pennington; third, Aidan Vine (honourable mention, Brendan Pennington) • Hannah Blais, Winter Benn and Misty-Lee Buckley received the Water Environment Association of Ontario Award. tinue working on their project. "Hopefully, by Grade 12, maybe we'll patent it," Haytaoglu said. "It's an idea to think about." Haytaoglu and MacAusland are "exceptional," said their teacher mentor, Anne Falla, who has been shepherding students to the regional fair for more than a decade. "They've put in a lot of hours," staying after

school to work on their project. Four students from ENSS have advanced to the Canada-wide Science Fair over the years. "I'm feeling good but I'm feeling a little bit stressed," Haytaoglu said, a sentiment MacAusland echoed. Haytaoglu wants to be an astronaut while MacAusland plans to be a teacher.

The benefits of working with animal trainers

Pets bring new energy into a home, making them welcome and enjoyable additions to a household. All that energy can be tough to manage, and pet owners, particularly those who have added puppies to their family dynamic, may wonder how they can corral their pets' energy long enough to teach them some rules and instill some healthy habits and behaviors. Animal trainers can be just the thing pet owners need if they’re struggling to get their pets to adapt to their new homes. Some pet owners may be able to go it alone, but there’s no denying the effects skilled animal trainers can have on pets. The following are a handful of ways pet owners and their pets can benefit from working with animal trainers. · Animal trainers can address any type of behavior. According to the Animal Behavior Institute, trainers who work with dogs, cats, parrots, or other companion animals must have a thorough and detailed knowledge of animal behavior. Pet owners who have successfully housebroken puppies in the past may think they can do it again with relative ease, but no two puppies are the same. Techniques that worked with one dog will not necessarily work with another. Trainers recognize this and have an array of techniques within their arsenal, making them capable of addressing and correcting any type of behavior.

northumberlandnews.com

· Trainers can recognize environmental factors affecting pets that owners may not see. Pet owners may think their homes are pet-friendly or conducive to housebreaking pets. But trainers may see things the untrained eye won’t. Anything from the location of a parrot’s cage to the designated litter box area for a cat can affect pets’ behavior, compromising pets owners' efforts to housebreak their animals. Trainers can recognize potential problems that may have relatively simple solutions. · Trainers train owners as well. Trainers won’t just work with pets, but also with pet owners. Obedience trainers will work with pets to teach them how to behave while also teaching owners various ways to positively reinforce the animals. This is a great way for owners to get hands-on experience and learn proper obedience training techniques, which are not always as easy to learn as owners may think. Animal trainers provide an invaluable service, helping pets and their owners learn to coexist peacefully and happily.

WHAT'S ON

BRIGHTON BARN THEATRE'S LATEST WHAT'S GOING PRODUCTION A GHOSTLY TREAT ON HERE? Brighton - If the cast of Brighton Barn Theatre's latest production appear to have a haunted look about them these days, it's because they're staying in character. They've been rehearsing Ghost of a Chance, a comedy they'll perform nearly a dozen times between April 26 and May 11. It's about a character who has passed away and his wife has returned to their cabin to sell it. "Little does she know that his ghost is still there and he doesn't want her to sell it," director Linda Sacchett said. Things become complicated because she's the only one who can see her late husband, "so everybody else ... thinks she's just crazy." "It's shaping up to be a wonderful show." This is the third play Sacchett has directed but she's acted in many more at Brighton Barn Theatre, including Farce of Nature last year. "Directing is easier because you don't have to remember the lines," she

"The older I get the harder it is to memorize the lines." Sacchett said she's excited to be director for the Flip Kobler-Cindy Marcus comedy because the cast includes two new members, Laura Bassett and Richard Robb, who haven't acted before and "they're really turning out to be shining stars. I'm very proud of them. They make my job

The play program for children six years old and younger used to be offered at the YMCA but switched to the park last September and continued through the winter, even when it got cold, said Brittany Booth, a registered early childhood educator. On those days she'd invite children to paint the snow, find coloured ice cubes she had hidden, try out an obstacle course and go on a nature walk. The idea is to get children to socialize, be active and learn through play, Booth said. The program begins at 10 a.m. and ends at noon. There's no cost, and healthy snacks are provided. And when the program isn't taking place every other Saturday in Brighton, it's being held outside Colborne Public

RETRO REWIND WINS BEST NEW BUSINESS IN CRAMAHE TOWNSHIP ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com Entrepreneurs Geoff Davis and Jay Robinson always wanted to be in retail and they both had a clear vision on what they wanted to sell. That was a mixture of cool vintage items, locally crafted merchandise, handcrafted furniture and decor pieces.

The Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce recently rewarded their efforts by presenting their store, Retro Rewind, with the trophy for the Best New Business in Cramahe Township.

CRIME

CAMPBELLFORD THRIFT STORE TARGETED BY THIEVES JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Campbellford - Enough, already. Sandra Walls is feeling frustrated these days and for good reason. She's the manager of the Salvation Army Thrift Store and people are dropping off goods at the back of the building when the place isn't open. That's become a problem in the last three weeks because the donations "are being rummaged through every night and those (responsible) are leaving a

large mess behind, not to mention taking donations which were intended for the benefit of the community," Walls said in an email. "As well, people have been leaving items which we are not able to sell, such as household wet waste and items not in good enough condition for the store." "When these things happen, we have to spend extra monies to have these items transported to the dump on top of our usual monthly dumpster costs." Walls said surveillance

cameras will be installed to act as a deterrent and to record those causing problems so they can be reported to the police. Most people are "very considerate," she said, "but this problem is becoming a daily issue." Walls said in an interview she's "thrilled with the amount of community donations" the store is getting. But when bags are left and there's no one around to accept them, they're being torn open and plundered, and what isn't taken gets tossed about.

The other problem, having to dispose of trash left behind, not only adds to the store's operating costs, it increases the staff's workload, she said. "It's just nasty that they would do that." The ones stealing donations or using the thrift store as a transfer station for waste are taking "food off the table and clothes off people's backs because whatever we make here, we support family services, the food cupboard and all the programs that we run," Walls said. The store operates six days a week but if donors say they haven't the time to drop off stuff when it's open, she would be happy to meet them at the store outside regular hours, if it's "an emergency," Walls said. "We don't want to do

es have to be in good condition so they can be sold quickly, "because we don't have a lot of space," Walls said.

OPINION

BRIGHTON'S OWN: BETTER TO HAVE A HUNDRED FRIENDS FOR VIC GRABKO IT'S NOT THE CARS, IT'S THE PEOPLE, VIC SCHUKOV WRITES VIC SCHUKOV Column

Vic Grabko lives by his mother's philosophy: "Better to have a hundred friends than a hundred dollars." He exceeded that benchmark of friends, for starters, by restoring a 1928 Cadillac. More on that later. Grabko was born in a village in Belarus when it was part of the USSR. After the Second World War, at age six, he came to Canada, settling in Roseneath. "In Grades 1 and 2, I didn't understand English. They used to hand out cod liver oil pills, and I thought it was candy," he says laughing. At 16, living in Oshawa, he started work in GM's Boys Group. After 33 years, he retired as a supervisor: "The job allowed me to make a living and raise a family, and all you needed was a lunch pail and to do your job." Grabko learned a lot about car assembly, of course. "It's like doing the same jigsaw puzzle over and over again. After a while, you know where the pieces go." Grabko loves to tinker with cars. He started at 17 with a used 1955 Chevy: "I tore down the engine. I figured, how hard can it be? If you put it together right, it's the only way it will go. If you have parts left over, something is wrong." At one time or another, he owned and tinkered with a 1957 Chevy, 1959 Chevy, 1950 Pontiac, 1960 Chevy convertible and a 1967 (454) Tornado. In 1984, Grabko and his wife, Elaine, bought a play farm in Pontypool, a village within the city of Kawartha Lakes.

Now, to the 1928 Cadillac: "I bought it from a Ford guy, and this piece of junk took up too much space in his garage. It was just a frame on tires with a motor stuck in it and bushels and boxes of rusted parts. I paid $1,000. I told my wife I bought a 1928 Cadillac and dragged it home on a rope. She said, so where is the Cadillac? I said, this is it." For the next 18 years in restoring the car, Grabko personified the quote "It's the not the destination, It's the journey." "I had enormous help from so many people, I have trouble mentioning them all. I had to find a lot of parts. You didn't know you were missing something until you came to bolting two pieces and found a space there. You can't point to a part we couldn't write a paragraph (about) describing the excursion it took to find it. The car is the least important part of the story. The people I met and the things we did together is worth 10 times more." Grabko did a lot of the painting, woodwork and forming of metal. "Everything is ash wrapped in metal with wood trim inside and out. I had a friend cut the tree down and another cut it into lumber. Without friends, I couldn't afford to do this." In 2004, Grabko and Elaine came to Brighton because they had friends here and found a home with a workshop with three garages in the back. Besides the Cadillac, he has a 1962 Chevy and a 1964 Chevelle El Camino that once belonged to Ronny Hawkins, the bill of sale still in the glove box. "What I like about cars, aside from making them into what they once were, is the people, actually." The 1928 Caddy has toured many auto shows and won the prestigious Oshawa Auto Fest trophy (2005.) You can spot it on local roads occasionally. "It drives like a tractor, only being a few years older than a stage coach (smiling.) Al Capone had one, only heavier with halfinch plate metal and one-inch thick glass."

Vic Schukov photo Vic Grabko shown here beside his work of art. Grabko's "28" is almost 20 feet long, weighs 6,000 pounds on beautiful 20-inch rims with wood spokes. (It has six headlights!) "I was naïve when I bought the car. The guy who owned it knew how much was involved in restoration. The journey was worth it. I would give the car away in a minute but wouldn't part with the memories of the people who helped me." Like his mom always said, "Better to have a hundred friends ..."

The Municipality of Brighton is embarking on a major update to our Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-law and would like the public to contribute to our update process from the initial stages. An Official Plan is a planning policy document that establishes goals, objectives, land use designations and general land use policies in order to manage and direct development and land uses throughout the Municipality. Official Plans outline what is generally permitted within the land use designations and includes associated policies. Plans are generally viewed as “living documents” subject to amendment over time. A Zoning By-law is a legal document that is passed under Section 34 of the Planning Act. A Zoning By-law is one of the principle means to implement the Official Plan while helping to reduce conflict between different land uses. The Zoning By-law allows municipalities to control:  How land or buildings are used;  The type of building that can be constructed;  Where buildings can be located;  How tall a building can be;  How many residential units may be constructed;  How small or large a property may be;  The number of off-street parking, accessible parking and bicycle parking spaces; and  Other features related to the use of land.
