Straight shaft brushcutters are the choice of lawn care professionals and large property owners. They manage heavier brush and thicker weeds better than curved shaft models. Straight shaft brushcutters have more reach and some can interchange cutting attachments like metal blades to offer enhanced versatility. Taller individuals enjoy the extended length of the shaft. For the avid user bike handles are also available.

BENEFITS OF CURVED SHAFTS
GAS TRIMMER
BACKPACK BLOWERS
Curved shaft trimmers can be considered easier to manoeuvre and more comfortable to use by homeowners. These trimmers are lighter and weigh less than a straight shaft trimmer. In addition, many homeowners find the shorter length of a curved shaft trimmer is more convenient and useful for them to operate.

CRIME
POLICE ASK FOR PUBLIC'S HELP TO LOCATE 'THE DECEASED MALE' NORTHUMBERLAND Police say they are still searching for a body after a man was killed earlier this month in the Trent Hills area and are now appealing to the public for help. In an update on May 14, Northumberland OPP identified the victim as Blythe Sexsmith, 61, of Trent Hills. "Police are seeking the public's assistance in locating the deceased male," said police May 14. Sexsmith is being described by police as having a thin build, is about 135 pounds, has light brown hair with a moustache, stands about five-footeight, has blue eyes and wears size nine footwear. On May 7, police issued their first release about their homicide investigation which detailed that a 62-year-old Selwyn Town-
ship man had been charged with first-degree murder despite the fact a body hadn't been found. The day prior, on May 6, at about 7:20 p.m., officers said they responded to an address on Centennial Lane, north of Campbellford in the Municipality of Trent Hills, for a report of an injured man as a result of an alleged assault. "Officers arrived on scene and found evidence of a person who had been seriously injured," said police. Northumberland OPP, with the assistance of the OPP Central Region emergency response team, canine unit, aviation unit, marine unit and the underwater search and recov-
ery unit, "conducted an extensive search of the area for the victim." Police say the investigation is ongoing by members of the Northumberland OPP major crime unit, under the direction of Det.Insp. Brad Robson with the OPP criminal investigation branch. Stephen Murray Kelly, 62 of Selwyn Township, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder last week. Police are asking that anyone with information about this investigation contact the Northumberland OPP at 905-372-5421 or 1-888-310-1122. Police are reminding residents that should they wish to remain anonymous, residents can also contact Peterborough/Northumberland Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

RETIREMENT RESIDENCE WING WILL OPEN IN SUMMER
THE ISSUE: A NEED FOR MORE RETIREMENT LIVING SPACES IN NORTHUMBERLAND LOCAL IMPACT: ISLAND PARK EXPANSION WILL ADD DOZENS MORE SUITES BY MID-JULY
northumberlandnews.com
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Campbellford - Island Park Retirement Residence will be ready to accept tenants in its new wing by mid-July, say company officials. By then it will have completed its massive expansion-renovation project begun in late 2017. Island Park is adding 57 studio, one- and two-bedroom suites that will give it a total of 140 when they open. At the same time it's adding a beauty salon, massage parlour, esthetician room, games room with billiards table, exercise room, and a home theatre with up to 25 theatrestyle seats to the existing space. There will also be more room to hold meetings. The dining room is also being enlarged, to hold 160 people, up from 100. Rooms are still available to rent in the new wing. The suites range from 343 square feet, for a studio apartment, to 877 square feet. It's a mix of 30 studios (one room), six two-bedrooms and 21 one-bedrooms. "We've had residents move from the States because their families are here," retirement counsellor Cindy McMurray said, "but the majority ... are local people," who like living in a small community. "The fact that we're five minutes away from the hospital (and emergency services) is a big drawing card." Island Park's isn't the on-
John Campbell/Torstar Island Park staff members Chad Rowe and Cindy McMurray stand in one of the model units ly major construction project taking place on Trent Drive. The Ranney Falls Generating Station next door is being expanded as well and having the two expansions occurring at the same time side by side has been "extremely challenging," and has caused some delays, Rowe said. "We're about six months
behind schedule," said Chad Rowe, Island Park's senior general manager. "We had hoped we would be open in February." Successions, a construc-
tion company in Toronto, was awarded the contract to handle the first expansion ever undertaken by Island Park's parent company, Sienna Senior Living, which has 36 retirement homes in its portfolio, 27 of them in Ontario. Island Park, which opened in 2005, has had a 99 per cent occupancy rate three years in a row, which is "unheard of in our industry, " Rowe said. "Retirement living is really independent living," people who are able to care for themselves, "although

we do have care services available," McMurray said. Island Park employs roughly 25 people full-time and up to 20 part-time. "When the building is at projected occupancy, (the number will increase to)
between 70 and 80," Rowe said. "Every single department will increase." Having a retirement residence the size of Island Park in Campbellford is "a great asset" because the "senior population in this area is growing every day, and we are providing a place for them to be," McMurray said. "Most apartments in town have large waiting lists," including Campbellford Memorial Multicare Lodge.

It's about trust. Our relationship with our readers is built on transparency, honesty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This column is part of that project. We strive to get it right.

If you see something inaccurate, missing or unclear in an article, please tell us. Whether it's as simple as a misspelled name or as complicated as a perceived imbalance in the coverage of an issue, we want to know about it. Journalistic integrity demands that significant errors of fact, as well as errors of
omission, should be corrected promptly and transparently. Your first action should be to connect with the reporter who wrote the article.

CELIAC ASSOCIATION ASKS CANADIANS TO #GOBEYONDTHEGUT MAJORITY WHO HAVE THE DISEASE ARE UNDIAGNOSED, ALICIA VANDINE WRITES ALICIA VANDINE Column
To me, there is nothing better than a slice of freshly baked bread, whether it's straight out of a hot oven at home or made by a local bakery or artisan bread maker, it's such a treat. I was recently telling a foodie friend of mine about some amazing olive bread that I had recently purchased from Annie Boulanger. She shared with me how her bread days were over, that she had recently been diagnosed by her doctor as having gluten intolerance. She would have to be more conscious about what was in the foods she consumed and to avoid eating gluten-rich foods like bread
and pasta. This got me wondering about how gluten intolerance related to celiac disease. Although these two conditions share similar symptoms, there are distinct differences in the way a person's body reacts to gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the body negatively responds to the consumption of gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Over time, as gluten triggers immune responses, the small intestine's lining becomes damaged and it can inhibit the absorption of important nutrients into the body. Gluten intolerance has similar symptoms to celiac disease, but the body's response to gluten tends to be less severe or short term. For example, when someone with celiac disease ingests gluten, his or her immune system will attack against their own body's tissue. If a person is gluten intolerant, the consumption of gluten can cause short-term bloating
and belly pain, but doesn't usually cause long-term harm to the body. According to the Canadian Celiac Association, "It is estimated that about 80 per cent of Canadians with celiac disease remain undiagnosed and could be suffering from debilitating "mystery" symptoms. Research has shown that while one per cent of the world's population is suffering from celiac disease, the lack of awareness and testing is severely delaying diagnosis." May has been designated as Celiac Awareness Month. The Canadian Celiac Association encourages those who believe they might have a condition related to gluten to not just simply stop eating bread but to make an appointment with their doctor and get tested because it is important to know the exact problem. To learn more about the typical signs of celiac disease, visit the CCA's website at www.celiac.ca and join in their public outreach this month using the hashtag #GoBeyondTheGut.

BRIGHTON STRIKES GOLD AT SPECIAL OLYMPICS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The Blue Dragons struck gold playing hoops at the first-ever Special Olympics Ontario Invitational Youth Games, held May 14-17. The team of East Northumberland Secondary School students -- Leo Paradis, Zach Humphry, Adam Bath, Nick Quick, Kailen Wannamaker and Noah Leger, a last-minute replacement - won all five of its games playing threeon-three basketball in the Unified Sports division (teams were made up of students with an intellec-
tual disability and students who had none). More than 2,100 young people 13 to 21 years of age from around the world gathered in Toronto for the Games, which marked the 50th anniversary of Special Olympics by showcasing the past and celebrating the future. After winning by scores of 32-24, 30-28, 18-12 and 22-12 in the round-robin, the Blue Dragons went on to defeat a team from Sault Ste. Marie 20-10 in the final played May 16. "They're very happy, they had a great time," said their coach, Kim Leger. "These kids have formed a

great bond and they work really well together," despite having little practice time. She and her fellow coach, John Ouellette, were "very proud" of the team's "amazing sportsmanship," which they demonstrated throughout the competition. When playing against teams "who were less capable, the boys literally passed the ball to the other team to help them get a basket," she said. "I didn't even have to ask them to do it, they just did it." School board area superintendent Jack Nigro was there to cheer them on. One of the students got glasses for free after Leger enrolled the team in the Healthy Athletes program for Special Olympics, which included eye exams.

Trent Hills - Lower Trent Conservation held its annual Seymour Family Fishing Day at Seymour Conservation Area on May 11. More than 120 children and adults participated, looking to hook one of the 200 rainbow trout that had been specially stocked in the quarry for the fourhour catch-and-keep event that was free for the youngsters. There is nothing that
puts a smile on a kid's face faster than catching a fish, says Bob Izumi, chair of Fishing Forever, one of the day's sponsors. "That's why I love to create opportunities for children and families to go fishing," Izumi said in a Lower Trent news release.

RESIDENT THWARTS BREAK-IN ATTEMPT Brighton - An alert Lawson Road resident prevented an overnight break-in of his home on Thursday, May 9. At approximately 3:30 a.m. that morning, members from the Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to the residence located just east of the town of Brighton for a reported break and enter.

COMMUNITY CARE TRANSIT PILOT PROJECT GETS ROLLING JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - Community Care Northumberland officially launched its municipal transit pilot project May 15. Where it ends up is now in the hands of the public. How much residents use the service in the coming weeks will determine if it's worth keeping, or an experiment that didn't pan out. The agency is already looking at making a few tweaks, based on the initial response it has received since the project got underway April 29. The bus starts out at the Hastings Civic Centre at 8 a.m. and makes three stops in the village before heading to Warkworth, where it picks up passengers at three locations. Then it's off to Campbellford where
there are six stops, including the hospital. The route takes about 90 minutes to complete and is repeated three more times during the day, with the last round trip coming to an end in Hastings shortly before 6 p.m. Only two people had ridden the van prior to the official launch held at the civic centre. The feedback Community Care has received is that more would use it except the schedule doesn't work for them. "So now we're revising the schedule," CCN regional transportation co-ordinator Anne Newman said. "It could be three times a day with two loops in Campbellford before going back out," she said. More stops will be added, in the town's residential areas. The changes will take place within a week or so.
John Campbell/Torstar Trent Hills council members and Community Care Northumberland staff officially launch a transit pilot project with a ribbon cutting. Newman said the transit system will be assessed the end of June. "It doesn't mean we're

going to stop it. If there's any growth I could see it proceeding." But if by then it's appar-
She said CCN is following in the footsteps of Quinte Access, which "started like this" before building ridership and creating "a real transit system." "I'm ecstatic that this is happening," said Mayor Bob Crate. "It's just what we need ... to be able to move people from one urban centre to another," he said. "So I hope the residents embrace this ... and it's a success." "Our hope is that this will become a regular route around Trent Hills," CCN executive director Trish Baird said. She said the agency will look at making the service available on weekends or later in the day. "Lots of people talk about transportation being one of the big barriers to getting out of their home and getting into services so this will be a great opportunity (to overcome that)." The cost per ride is $5 one way, plus $2 within a community.

Proctor House is a heritage project supported by the Save Our Heritage organization, and their efforts to preserve this property were recognized by the Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce, who awarded them the notfor-profit award at their recent award event. The Proctor House property was originally donated in 1970 to the municipality of Brighton and it was later turned over to the control of The Lower Trent Region Conservation Authority, who initially planned to convert it into office spaces. The Save Our Heritage group was formed and after some negotiation with the conservation authority, they leased the property and took over the restoration of the building, which began in 1972. "The Proctors were Empire Loyalists from Vermont and they were descended from English Puritans," said Anna Rittwage, president of Save Our Heritage. "The property has been fully restored and decorated as it would have appeared during the Victorian era in the proctor's understated elegant style." The continuing maintenance of the property is al-

The proceeds from the Brighton Barn Theatre support the maintenance of the Proctor House Museum. so the responsibility of the Save Our Heritage organization, and they have a unique way of accomplishing this goal each year. "Museums struggle to support themselves. We do tours and of course receive a small municipal grant, but the bulk of our revenue comes from the proceeds of Brighton Barn Theatre," said Rittwage. "The ticket sales from these performances not only help us sustain this building, it also gives our area's local talent a place to perform." The Brighton Barn Theatre was opened in the Proctor-Simpson Barn in 2002, after this historical barn was moved and reas-
sembled onto the property from its original location on Simpson Street. The Save Our Heritage organization has found a unique way to preserve a piece of Brighton history. Their barn's new performance season began with the play, Ghost of a Chance. This will be followed with a play called The Ladies Foursome, starting at the end of September, and the concert Christmas at the Barn, beginning in mid-December.

HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE MEDICAL OVERSIGHT FOR FIREFIGHTERS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Lakeridge Health will provide medical oversight of Brighton Fire Department, so local firefighters can step up the fight against dangerous drugs that are claiming lives in record numbers across Canada. The agreement became necessary with the emergence of fentanyl and carfentanil use in the region. The department, in cooperation with Northumberland County's emergency medical services, provides a basic level of care, including defibrillation, in keeping with St. John Ambulance's advanced level of patient care. That's no longer sufficient, however, in an everchanging society where dangerous drugs such as
fentanyl and carfentanil are being utilized, Fire Chief Rick Caddick said in a report to council. "We have been involved (in) a few medical responses that have involved these substances," he wrote. The medical agreement the municipality signed with Lakeridge will allow firefighters to administer naloxone to people overcome by the drugs and at risk of dying. It will also permit them to administer epinephrine to individuals "experiencing anaphylaxis due to allergic reaction." With the agreement the department will be able to provide a higher level of response in the event of a medical emergency, Caddick said. "This also allows us to administer to our own members should one of them become infected by
these dangerous drugs," he stated. Caddick told council recently that Lakeridge Health will "share" in the liability of firefighters using the two drugs, because they're doing so "under a doctor's orders." The municipality is also covered by insurance "should something go wrong, because once you start administering drugs there's always a potential," he said. The agreement further provides for upgraded training for local firefighters and recruits by Lakeridge Health. Additionally the hospital in Oshawa has a program that ensures the department's defibrillation equipment is working properly. "Overall it's an increased level of service that we will be providing," Caddick said. The cost to Brighton to cover each of the municipality's 37 firefighters to the Emergency First Responder Level is $4,070 a year.

ing.) We have fun because nobody is too serious. Nobody is the "rock star." (At this point, Dave Prasky, the bass player, added, "Except the bass player.") Dan: "That goes without saying." (Take-no-prisoners ribbing is a big part of the fun.) Dave was born in Peterborough, and still works as an ecosystem biologist. He is also a funny guy. "I like playing backgammon in the rain, outside. I came to Brighton 10 minutes ago. I like the band because people are nice and fun. I like rockier stuff, hearts and soul stuff." Dave is the band's project. He loses all sheet music given to him, and I have to keep his songbook and phone number in my equipment bag in case he forgets to show up for a gig (which he has never failed
VIC SCHUKOV Column
The members of Brighton's own rock and roll band Jus' Rockin' have at least three things in common. All have more than 40 years of experience playing professionally, all are from Brighton, and all want to help put a new roof on the town's most important hub of camaraderie and entertainment - the Brighton legion, Branch 100. So the local singers and stringers and drumstick flingers are performing a benefit concert-dance on June 9, from 1 to 4 p.m., at the venerable venue. All proceeds go to the muchneeded replacement of the roof. It's the very least we citizens can do for the deeprooted mainstay. Here's Jus' a bit of background on your fellow townspeople: Cheryl Lafferty - lead and backup vocals - was born in Toronto and came here five years ago from Maynooth. "I love this

A lot of our friends had moved down here from the Algonquin Park region, and we kind of followed behind." For 25 years, Cheryl was a successful decorativeacrylic artist whose hundreds of designs were published in numerous magazines. She also taught art and worked at trade shows. But her overriding passion has always been music. "What I like about the band is that it's a great group of musicians. We all have a hoot together; it's easy because it's so much fun. I like everything about music; I never stop having it in the house or in my car. I grew up in a house full of tunes. My mum and uncle

entertained constantly at our home, and my cousin Gary Binstead was a bigband bass player in important shows in Toronto. He was also a studio musician and a regular of The Tommy Hunter Show's house band. My favourite kind of music is what we play rock and roll oldies, tunes that get everyone up dancing, everybody happy. Music brings friends together, so true." Dan (Maestro) Mahoney - drummer - was born in Toronto and came here in 2000. This show is especially dear to him as he served in the military "for 22 years and a day in the wavy Navy, as Leading Seaman. I like everybody but Victor

THE BIG GIVE IN BRIGHTON SET TO LIVE UP TO ITS NAME JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The Big Give is returning even bigger than before. "We have so much stuff ... the church hallways and the rooms (at Christian Fellowship Reformed Church) are just overflowing," said Brenda VanEgmond, a member of the organizing team. "It looks like we're going to have a lot of items." They'll be made available for people to acquire at no cost when the event, organized by many local churches, takes place June 1. To accommodate the anticipated amount of donated goods, the committee at the start of May set three bins, instead of two, outside the King Edward Park Arena where the event will be held.
John Campbell/Metroland People packed King Edward Park Arena for last year's The Big Give. This year's edition goes Saturday, June 1. "People are constantly bringing things in," VanEgmond said. They'll be sorted and placed on tables the night before the Big Give. "We're doing more tables ... because we just didn't have enough last year," she said. "There was hardly any-

THERE ARE WAYS TO STAY PROTECTED FROM LYME DISEASE JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Venturing into the woods is no longer the simple exercise it once was. The same with walking through long grass. There's a risk with both, and a growing one - ticks infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. "It's scary because it's so tiny," says Gail Ellis, who was bitten two years ago by a tick that was infected, causing her health to decline. She recovered but the experience led her to join the Bay of Quinte and Area Lyme Support Group, and it was as its representative that she asked Brighton council to proclaim May Lyme Disease Awareness Month. Council did to show its support for a campaign intended to educate the public about the "fastest growing vector-born disease in Canada," with the Bay of Quinte region, including Brighton,
being deemed "an endemic area." The campaign also encourages people to take preventive measures to avoid infection. Ellis didn't know she had been bitten by an infected tick until a few months later when she "started to get all these strange symptoms." The first sign was a tingling in her legs, she said in an interview. "My body was fighting an infection for a year-and-ahalf before they figured out what it was," and she received proper treatment for her condition. "If you don't get it early, it's very tough to treat." The Brighton resident said Lyme disease is on the rise because tick numbers are growing, which increases the odds of being bitten. And with winters getting warmer, tick bites are a risk year-round now. Lyme disease cases jumped from 992 across Canada in 2016 to 2,025 the next year.
Torstar file photo The local health unit encourages everyone to do what they can to prevent getting bitten by ticks and know what to do in the event it happens. In Ontario there were 959 probable and confirmed cases of Lyme disease in 2017 - a figure three times higher than the average of 313 for the previous five years. The Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit reported 17 ticks tested positive for Lyme disease in 2017 and warned the number is rising. Ellis said it's estimated 15,000 Canadians actually become infected annually, but far fewer are diagnosed with Lyme disease because its symptoms are often mistaken for other health prob-
lems. Symptoms include fever, headache, tiredness, muscle and joint pains, and skin rashes. The health unit says the bacterial infection can be successfully treated with antibiotics but physicians
need training to become better versed in detecting Lyme disease right away and knowing how to treat it, Ellis said. "The testing is inadequate, the treatment is inadequate and the research dollars ... (are) totally inade-
quate" - $4 million over five years, she lamented. "They need to develop new tests to improve diagnosing people with the bacteria in (their) system." "It doesn't sting and it doesn't itch when you get a bite from a tick," and "the longer it's attached the more bacteria it puts into the system." She encourages pet owners to check their animals for ticks thoroughly after they've been outside. Municipal employees working long grass or wooded areas also need to be educated about the threat that ticks pose, she said. Ellis employs a concentrated version of garlic oil in her garden to keep ticks away. She mixes it with water and uses it as a spray that's safe for the environment and pets. To learn more about the disease and how to prevent being infected, visit the health unit (www.hkpr.on.ca/InfoSet/ Environments/LymeDisease).

PROVINCE AIMS TO ELIMINATE RURAL CELL COVERAGE GAPS DOMINIK WISNIEWSKI dwisniewski@nor thumberlandnews.com An investment of $71 million by the province represents a giant step toward improving mobile broadband and curing cellular dead zones across eastern Ontario. Monte McNaughton, the minister of infrastructure, was in Roseneath on Friday, May 17 to make the announcement. "Our government has committed to help people get the broadband and cellular connections they need," he said. "This means there are homes, businesses and major J. Murray Jones roadways where it is difficult to access the internet from a smartphone. We all know examples where people are put in dangerous positions because of dropped calls or lost connections during emergencies." He said this is a matter of "public safety and economic opportunity," adding that about 10 per cent of rural eastern Ontario has no cell service. The province is committing funds to the Eastern Ontario Regional Network's (EORN) project to virtually eliminate coverage gaps in the region. The public-private initiative requires contributions from the federal government, as well as private sector and municipal partners. With a total value estimated at $213 million, this project is expected to generate up to 3,000 jobs over 10 years and potential revenues of $420 million. "It is critical to have the proper infrastructure in place to support public safety across the province, especially in this region, where cellular coverage is often lacking," said Northumberland-Peterborough South MPP David Piccini. "Our government is taking action to improve connectivity so that people can feel confident and safe, at home and on the road." J. Murray Jones, the chair of EORN, said that "too often, eastern Ontario residents find themselves with no signal or dropped cell services." "EORN is building on the investment we've already made in broadband infrastructure across the region to close the gap in mobile services and improve economic growth, quality of life and public safety." McNaughton said the province is hopeful the federal government will commit to funding its share of the project.

"Last week, the federal Liberals said the people of Ontario's priorities were their priorities," he said. "Well, this is a huge priority in eastern Ontario. It's about public safety, economic growth and development and convenience. We are investing in people and building our province's future." The announcement was made in front of the Robins General Store in Roseneath, which is owned by Bev Robins and his wife, Rosemarie.
