PEANUT ALLERGIES

BRIGHTON - Maryanne Lightfoot is having second thoughts about living the dream of owning a home on Lake Ontario.

Having your property flooded twice in three years will do that, she says.

Lightfoot was at home on Popham Lane on the morning of June 3, when the wind picked up in just 20 minutes and began pushing the water over a natural berm at the end of her property onto her yard.

And it wouldn't stop.

Lightfoot is thankful the water never reached her house, unlike what happened to her neighbour and residents in nearby GreenSee RESIDENT, page 13

SITE FOR RETIREMENT RESIDENCE SWITCHES TO EAST SIDE JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - Oxley Manor, the 124-unit full service retirement residence, will have a new address before it even puts a shovel in the ground.

It's to be located on the east side of town, on Elizabeth Street, near No Frills, not on the west side, as first planned.

Aurele Simourd, the CEO of Sussex Retirement Living, the company behind the project, explained how that came about at a public information session held June 6 at King Edward Park Community Centre.

After having spent a "not insignificant" amount of money and time on engineering and planning to develop Oxley Manor - which it unveiled at a public meeting last July - Sussex learned the owner of the

land on Rundle Lane, a numbered company, "wanted to renegotiate" the agreement they had after "some terms had expired," Simourd said.

"They were within their legal rights to do so ... (but) it's not the way we do business," he said. "So we decided at that point to part company, and we'd go back to the drawing board to see if we can salvage something."

After this happened last fall Sussex revisited the idea of building on Elizabeth Street, where Craft Properties, which owns the land beside No Frills, had made plans for "a Canadian Tire store and some other big box stores" to locate there, Simourd said.

Sussex and Craft reached an agreement whereby Sussex would purchase one-quarter of the 17.1-acre property.

"We had bit of a rough

ride," Simourd said, "but the good news is we ended up exactly with our preferred location."

The new site is larger and what's being proposed now is "far superior" than the initial concept.

(The numbered company, meanwhile, is seeking site plan approval for a proposed 121-unit independent and assisted living retirement residence on Main Street.)

Oxley Manor will be an "aging in place" community, where residents who are completely independent will have access to a greater range of services as they get older, without having to move.

Independent units include prepared meals, laundry and transportation services, cleaning, and various activities.

With assisted living, residents receive additional

supports, such as assistance with dressing, bathing, and taking medications.

Memory care units are for residents who have Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia. Specially trained staff will serve their particular needs.

The three-storey building will contain 74 studio units (345 to 505 square feet) 35 one-bedroom apartments (645 to 780 square feet) and 15 two-bedroom apartments (865 to 970 square feet).

With the larger site, there are also plans for 12 townhouses.

"This residence will generate more in taxes than any proposed commercial use ... probably double," chief financial officer John Cathrae said, and it will create 80 jobs that are equivalent to 56 full-time positions.

Features include a threestorey atrium, an interior courtyard, gardens, and a

24-passenger van to take residents shopping or to Presqu'ile Provincial Park.

Nursing care will be available on site around the clock.

The project, which Cathrae estimated will cost in excess of $30 million, will require a zoning change for it to proceed.

If "things move quickly" and Sussex gets the support of council and the community, construction could begin this year, Simourd said.

It will then take between 16 and 18 months to complete, depending on the weather and how much is added to the design, based on feedback from focus groups, he said.

Their input will also help determine prices for the units.

They're "going to be roughly the same" as charged at similar residences in Belleville and else-

where, Cathrae said, without providing figures.

"We're going to be competitive and maybe have an edge on them."

Simourd said any relief from development fees or taxes the company might receive from the municipality will be used to enhance the services Oxley Manor provides, such as installing a saltwater pool or dedicated community space where people can play cards.

"My advice to council is get 'er done," said Brighton retiree Glenn McCutcheon, who was the first to urge Simourd, a former associate, to build a retirement residence in the municipality.

"It's something that's needed in town," for people who retire and want to sell their home but remain in Brighton, Coun. Doug LeBlanc said afterwards. "We can easily handle two (retirement residences)."

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.

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.

HIGH LAKE LEVELS A GROWING CONCERN Are high water levels on Lake Ontario a one-off situation brought about by an overly wet spring, or is it - as most of us suspect - more evidence that climate change is wreaking havoc on our local environment?

For the second time in three years, high lake levels are causing municipalities and homeowners along the shoreline of Lake Ontario from Toronto east to Brighton a great deal of angst. Water levels are at above-average levels, currently reaching 75.88 metres, which is 82 centimetres above average. The potential for flooding is great, according to the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA), which issued a flood watch on May 3, and upgraded it to a warning on May 13 that was re-issued on May 30.

Whether the Lake Ontario water level recedes or continues to rise is dependent on the weather over the next week or so. In fact, all the Great Lakes are experiencing similar high water levels this spring, according to the GRCA. High water levels along the Lake Ontario shoreline have already impacted a number of municipalities, and residents in these areas are hoping flooding doesn't increase over the next several weeks.

In Brighton, sandbags and pumps are being used to help keep water from encroaching on some streets in the municipality that straddles the Lake Ontario shoreline.

In Port Hope, the marina area is closed and, the docks have been barricaded, and water is getting close to encroaching on the parking lot of the Ruth Clarke Activity Centre for Seniors on Mill Street in the town.

In Newcastle, the Bondhead Parkette and boat launch are closed due to high water levels near the shoreline.

In Pickering, work has already begun to create a new version of the city's popular Beachfront Park, which has been decimated by erosion brought about by high water levels on Lake Ontario. The high water levels warped the boardwalk, swallowed much of the sandy beach and left playground equipment unsafe to use. The city will have to look for an alternative to a boardwalk that's part of the waterfront trail, as the current boardwalk can't be salvaged.

In Ajax this spring, the waterfront trail has been closed to pedestrians due to erosion brought on by high lake levels.

In Toronto, the Toronto Islands are under threat by high water levels, with sandbagging operations to protect properties on the shoreline.

In 2017, the Port Darlington neighbourhood in Clarington experienced significant flooding. The area received flood warnings by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority this spring. A Clarington-wide flood response was added to the municipal emergency plan in December 2017.

Scientists are suggesting these extremes in lake levels are a consequence of a warming planet. In 2013, there was concern regarding low lake levels. Since 2014, the opposite has been true; with lake levels well above normal.

With such wild fluctuations in the water levels over the past several years, municipalities bordering Lake Ontario must be concerned that it is becoming the new normal. If that's indeed the case, we're probably only seeing the beginning of what rapid extremes in lake levels can do in terms of erosion and destruction to properties.

WHO WE ARE

BEER DRINKERS HAVE SUFFERED LONG ENOUGH, SAYS THE GOVERNMENT AND IT'S TAXPAYERS WHO COULD PAY THE PRICE FOR MORE OUTLETS THAT SELL LAGER AND ALE JOHN CAMPBELL Column

Like Premier Doug Ford, I don't drink.

Unlike Ford, I'm not planning to abruptly terminate a long-term contract with the Beer Store for the benefit of people who do drink, and risk incurring massive financial penalties.

Which could happen now that the Conservatives have passed legislation to cut short the Master Framework Agreement the previous Liberal government signed with the private monopoly.

That agreement, signed in 2015, expanded owner-

ship of the Beer Store to include all brewers in Ontario. It also expanded the sale of beer to 450 grocery stores.

The chair of the Beer Store, Charlie Angelakos, says there are more than 1,500 retail locations in Ontario, including convenience stores in some rural areas, that sell beer "at prices that are among the lowest in Canada."

He says legislation passed June 6 to end the agreement before 2026 is an attempt by the provincial government "to circumvent its obligations."

The Beer Store has proposed amendments to the agreement to "avoid a protracted legal battle and the significant damages to which the government would be exposed."

Reports suggest those damages could be in the hundreds of millions.

Finance Minister Vic Fedeli says the previous government made a "sweetheart deal" with the former exclusive owners of Onta-

rio's beer distribution system, "who are more interested in protecting profits than providing convenience or choice for average people."

Breaking a legitimate contract "is a short-sighted approach" that could deter investment in the province, warns the president and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.

One can't help asking: Just how much of an inconvenience has it been for beer lovers that it's necessary to expand the sale of beer to convenience stores?

Should it come to pass the province is penalized for its deal-breaking, whether in court or by settlement, it's consumers who should foot the bill, not taxpayers.

Let them pay a surcharge to cover the cost.

How about a buck a (case of) beer?

CRAMAHE TERMINATES CAO'S CONTRACT JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com CRAMAHE TOWNSHIP - The township has parted ways with chief administrative officer Craig Brooks and appointed treasurer Arryn McNichol as acting CAO for six months.

Council announced Brooks' departure in a terse media release issued May 31.

"We are grateful for the dedicated service and hard work Mr. Brooks has given to the Township," Mayor Mandy Martin stated. "We wish him all the best for his future endeavours."

McNichol's appointment was approved after council met in a closed session at the end of its June 4 meeting.

No reason was given in

the release for Brooks leaving.

Martin says council was "moving in a new direction and exploring new avenues, and our goals weren't meshing."

She said council had "the right to end his employment without cause" before his five-year contract expired, provided he was paid one year's salary.

Brooks, who began working for the municipality in the summer of 2016, "was hired on at $125,000," Martin said.

Council chose to cut short his contract in a special meeting held May 30 and Martin told Brooks of its decision later the same day.

"It's a surprise to anybody when these things happen, but it was amica-

ble," she said.

As for finding a permanent replacement, council is "reviewing all staffing positions and reporting hierarchies, and our responsibilities and our challenges ahead," Martin said, "So we may be doing a realignment.

We want to make sure that everybody fits according to their talents and according to what we have to do."

"When you're running a business you're always looking at ... efficiencies and how do we meet the needs of our ratepayers and our taxpayers," she said.

The previous council did that as well, she added.

There's been a steady turnover of township staff at senior levels in recent years, with some being let go and others leaving to pursue other options.

Martin said there are "always refinements, (and) there are always adjustments to be made. Things don't just always continue in a static position for 30, 40 years. Life is no longer like that."

LIBRARY CELEBRATES EXPANSION JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - It's been a long time coming but it was well worth the wait - the expansion of Brighton Public Library.

The library board celebrated the substantial changes that have taken place with an official opening held June 8.

The need for a bigger library was expressed more than a decade ago, "and there were some people who said you're never going to get it," board chair Bob Burke said.

But there were people who made it happen, including former mayor Mark Walas and his council who, three years ago, "took the giant leap to provide the funds" for renovating the municipal building on Alice Street and turning over the entire ground floor to the library.

"We had to raise $150,000 (for new furniture)," Burke said. The Parrott Foundation in Belleville gave $50,000 to launch the cam-

John Campbell/Torstar Library board chair Bob Burke drew smiles from Mayor Brian Ostrander, MPP David Piccini and library CEO Heather Ratz with his remarks at the newly expanded library's official opening. paign and the Rotary Club of Brighton provided $30,000.

The long list of donors included Friends of the Library.

Burke - who's been on the board 11 years, seven as chair - thanked former library CEOs Maureen Venton and Mellissa D'Onofrio-Jones and their successor Heather Ratz for their years of work.

"What you see in this library today was Mellissa's doing," he said. She "put us on the right path."

D'Onofrio-Jones left in January to become the CEO for Ontario Library Services North based in Sudbury, "Libraries are such an important community resource where we come together (and) our next generation (is) inspired to broaden

(its) horizons," MPP David Piccini said. "It's really great to have such a gem in our community. It's bright, it's modern, it's inclusive."

"Libraries are the repositories of our greatest hopes and aspirations," they "take us to humankind's highest achievements," MP Kim Rudd said in remarks read out by Jamie Simmons in her absence.

"Libraries are often the first time we realize the vastness of our world, its diversity (and) incredible tapestry of life," Simmons said.

It's where imaginations soar and "the stories of our lives unfold ... We can learn from our mistakes and nurture the best of who we are, and who we can be. That's what libraries do best."

Mayor Brian Ostrander said Brighton's library "has always been and will continue to be a centre for community excellence."

Expansion came about as a result of "a collective effort" by councils, staff and community members, Walas said.

"It's been wonderful to see this go from concept through to where we are today."

Ratz spoke about her pride in being the library's CEO, saying "it's a privilege and challenge, to be trusted and tasked with such an important and rewarding role."

The library strives to foster creativity, excitement, learning and empowerment, Ratz said.

Burke said he never goes anywhere in town where someone doesn't praise the library staff for the work they do.

way Circle, whose crawl spaces were flooded, but it made her fearful.

"To see it rolling in at you, that was really scary," she said. "I was very freaked out. I didn't know what to do. I just started to panic."

It happened so suddenly.

"It was a beautiful day. It was sunny, it was gorgeous. But a wind picked up and that's what did it."

She called the Brighton fire department when the water kept coming "closer and closer."

She was told the firefighters would help if the situation worsened.

The fire department was busy helping out at Greenway Circle, pumping water from the front lawns of eight residences back into the lake.

"Some of them had crawl spaces that were flooded," Deputy Fire Chief Jeff Ogden said.

The water was so deep in spots "it was over our hip waders."

Dr. Suresh Appan & Associates

"It's worse than it was in 2017 at that location."

Lightfoot said she loves living on the water.

It's what she's wanted to do her

whole life.

"I put everything into this," she said, working 14 years at two jobs in Toronto in order to make her dream come true.

She bought the Popham Lane property "for a song" in 2002 and added a house later in 2009.

"Every day is a beautiful day on the water," Lightfoot said.

Except when the water gets too high. It had never been a problem

until 2017.

Now she's "definitely scared" what the future holds.

She's seen the beach in front of her place steadily shrink with the rising of the lake's water level in recent years.

"You can't exactly go beachcombing anymore because there's no beach," Lightfoot said.

And her neighbour, Annie Boulanger, whose crawl space was flooded, has lost property through erosion in recent years, and "quite a bit this time."

"This is not normal."

The weather forecast called for 40 to 50 millimetres of rain on Monday, June 10.

"I really hope they're wrong," Ogden said. "That's a lot of rain to be coming down."

BRIGHTON - Police say an OPP officer was assaulted when he responded to a report of an intoxicated man being unco-operative at an address in town.

Officers arrived at the scene around 7:30 p.m. on June 1 and report seeing the man walking across Prince Edward Street.

Northumberland OPP say that the man refused to comply with directions given by the officers and became verbally abusive and aggressive with them when told he was under arrest for being intoxicated in a public place.

In the ensuing confrontation, OPP say one of the officers was assaulted by the man who resisted attempts to arrest him.

The officer did not require medical attention.

Travis Jonathan Little, 28, of Belleville, was charged with assaulting a peace officer, resisting a peace officer, causing a disturbance and being intoxicated in a public place.

He is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on July 24.

TEEN, SENIOR CHARGED WITH STUNT DRIVING BRIGHTON - Northumberland OPP charged two people with stunt driving after they were caught travelling at excessive speeds on Hwy. 401 June 1.

Police measured a westbound Dodge passenger van moving along at 175 km/h just before 7 a.m..

Later the same day, around 3 p.m., an eastbound Cadillac van was measured travelling at 163 km/h.

Both operators, a 17-year-old male from Etobicoke and a 62-year-old man from Perth, had their driver's licences suspended and their vehicles impounded for seven days.

Each will appear in court in Cobourg next month.

COMMUNITY

SUPPORT NEEDED FOR ENSS HOPE PROJECT JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - East Northumberland Secondary School has a design for its Project Hope's garden/walkway but it's in need of sponsors to help cover the cost of construction, and people to buy engraved pavers.

To date just 70 of the 1,660 bricks that will be used in the walkway have been sold.

There are three sizes of commemorative brick on sale: four-by-eight inches for individuals ($40) eight-by-eight inches for families ($60) and 12-inches-by-12 inches for corporations ($200).

Half of the money from the two smaller bricks will go to the Terry Fox Foundation; $140 will go to the foundation for the largest brick.

The idea is that each brick has a story behind it, of someone who fell victim to cancer or survived the disease.

The prices will stay the same until Phase 1 of the project comes to an end when the school sets up a booth at Applefest Sept. 2829; after that construction will take place in late fall, which will drive up the cost of having the bricks engraved on site.

The new prices for Phase 2 "is to be deter-

Sponsors who contribute $500 or more will have their names prominently displayed on the back wall of the walkway and be provided charitable receipts.

The project has three sponsors so far: the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund and ENSS parents council have each donated $1,000, and the student government $500.

The garden/walkway will be officially opened early next May to coincide with the 65th anniversary of ENSS and the 40th anniversary of the school's annual Terry Fox

Run. "We're hoping that throughout the years alumni ... will continue to purchase bricks in memory of someone," said school board student trustee Aidan Hussey.

They will serve as a "long-lasting legacy" for individuals whose lives were cut short or greatly impacted by cancer.

The project will increase awareness as well of the importance of raising funds for cancer research, Hussey said.

"We also want to instill hope in others that cancer be cured through initiatives like this."

ENSS has had a long relationship with the Terry Fox Foundation, having raised more than $ 1 million.

"The walkway will be a real eye-opener for everyone in the community and the school, seeing how many people are affected by cancer," said Max Towers, the minister of finance in the school's student government. "I hope it will make the students want to fundraise more, so they can put an end to such a horrible disease."

The garden will consist of yellow daffodils in the spring and yellow day lilies in the summer along with invincibelle spirit hydrangea.

A dollar from every hydrangea purchased will be donated to breast cancer research by the nursery.

Order forms for the pavers are available at the school's main office and The Shoe Store as well as online, enss.ca.
