Campbellford - Stop, look and listen before crossing the street. It was a lesson drilled into schoolchildren for decades by Elmer the Safety Elephant. But now that they're adults it's being forgotten, apparently, because "nobody does it today," says Trent Hills Deputy Mayor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan. She found that out while serving as a volunteer on a pilot project undertaken by Safe Communities Northumberland's On Road/Off Road Safety Work Group. Organizers say the safe school zone project is the first of its kind in the country. Parachute Canada is providing $4,000 over two years to fund the work. See NEAR-MISS, page 2

NEAR-MISS INCIDENTS HIGHLIGHT NEED FOR CAMPBELLFORD PILOT PROJECT Continued from page 1
The goal is to devise "mitigation measures and other interventions" that can be used to improve safety in school zones throughout Northumberland County, said Denise Marshall, the project's cochair. Campbellford was chosen as the site for the pilot project because of frequent reports of near misses at schools and intersections, said Trent Hills fire Chief Tim Blake, Marshall's cochair on the project. One hundred volunteers - firefighters, high school students, council members, Community Living staff and paramedics - were recruited to document the habits of motorists and pedestrians at five locations, including Hillcrest and St. Mary's elementary schools and Campbellford District High School, over the course of one week. "Every area had at least one near-miss a day, some places more than that," said Blake. The intersection at Bridge Street and Doxsee Avenue was especially problematic, with three to four near-misses a day, he said. Offering the same advice as the deputy mayor, Blake said pedestrians should know to make eye contact with drivers about
THE ISSUE: BAD HABITS BY MOTORISTS AND PEDESTRIANS ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK LOCAL IMPACT: SAFE COMMUNITIES NORTHUMBERLAND HAS LAUNCHED A PILOT PROJECT IN CAMPBELLFORD THAT'S THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN CANADA to turn to ensure they've been seen before stepping out onto the road. Kelleher-MacLennan said there are areas near the high school that need to be made safer for students, such as when they're being dropped off. She saw the high school's parking lot being used as a shortcut which, in one instance, nearly resulted in two pickups colliding. Her few hours as a volunteer were "a big eyeopener." It made her aware of places where "there's a possibility for a catastrophe," Kelleher-MacLennan said.

"We had school buses, too, run red lights." There were numerous rolling stops as well, but some people didn't even bother to stop. What the volunteers saw is that "a lot of common sense is not there," said Blake. The message for everyone guilty of bad driving habits is "it could be your child (who) could be a potential victim," said Kel-
leher-MacLennan. "There's been a lot of great information collected," said Marshall, who was pleased with the response. The data will be analyzed by the project committee to identify "common areas of concerns" as well as trends. The next step in the process will be to devise "mitigation measures and other interventions" that will be implemented, monitored as to their effectiveness, and adjusted "throughout the remainder of the project to improve safety in the school zones." Enforcement will be key, "to make sure that people are actually following what has been put in place," Marshall said. "Ultimately, we hope that we find some measures that are effective and that we can then take and use in other community safety zones and school zones throughout the county."
STORY BEHIND THE STORY
Volunteers were highly visible taking notes on certain streets in Campbellford for one week. The Brighton Independent spoke to the two co-chairs of the pilot project and a member of council to learn why the information was being collected and how it would be used.

BRIGHTON FACES $250K IN FINES FOR POLLUTION OFFENCES JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - Failing to keep ammonia nitrogen levels in check at the town's water pollution control plant has cost the municipality $250,000 in fines. The municipality said in a news release that it pleaded guilty to four counts of exceeding the total ammonia nitrogen allowed in its effluent by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. Brighton acknowledged its "long history of noncompliance" with the limit prescribed by the Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) that governs operation of the water pollution control plant - noting the monthly average concentration of total ammonia nitrogen in effluent from the stabilization pond had been exceeded on 65 occasions since June 2008. However, Brighton plead-
ed guilty to just four counts of going over the limit in 2016-18 after the ministry laid charges under the Ontario Water Resources Act. The municipality was issued a provincial officer's order last October that gave it until the end of March to submit a design report for the installation and operation of a specialized treatment system known as a moving bed biological reactor (MBBR). It was to then to make an application for an ECA within 30 days of a final design report being reported. Those deadlines were extended at the request of the municipality, which has submitted a final design report and now says it will meet the new deadline of July 12 to submit an application for an ECA. Brighton has budgeted $7.1 million for installation of the MBBR system, along with construction of a Harbour Street pumping station
and force main. Chief administrative officer Bob Casselman said in an interview that there have been no exceedances in 2019. In the same interview, Mayor Brian Ostrander said "it's a chemistry problem" at the plant that has caused Brighton so much grief over the years, which the municipality has made numerous attempts to resolve. But it reached the point that the ministry "said enough, we now need a solution," said the mayor. "We also know the plant was never designed to treat ammonia," he added, noting that the lagoon has existed for about 50 years. "It was a new parameter that came into play" in the early 2000s. Following ministry approval of the final design, the municipality will call for tenders this fall, with construction expected to begin in late spring or early summer next year.
The municipality said in the news release that it will be pursuing funding from the federal and provincial governments to help finance the essential infrastructure project. It could be eligible for up to 83 per cent of the project's cost under a new funding program. Once the MBBR system is installed, Ostrander said he will keep his "fingers crossed and hope the chemistry works." But his "confidence level is pretty high" that after 15 years or so of trying to find an answer, "Brighton is going to be able to say that we've got our ammonia issues under control, and we won't be polluting the bay." Casselman said the supplier chosen for the project will be held accountable in ensuring that the equipment will work as promised and deal with the problem. "If it doesn't, there will be some repercussions," he said.

Kelleher-MacLennan. Firefighters "were so busy" the first quarter of 2019 that they received "the same amount as it would be for a full year" with the increases, said Blake. The heightened level of activity "justified" the raise in stipend, especially when firefighters are being asked to work in ad-

COUNCIL INCREASES FIREFIGHTERS' STIPEND JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com TRENT HILLS - Firefighters will be paid more the longer they remain at the scene of a fire or an emergency. They were being paid $20 for responding to a call
without receiving extra compensation for being on duty "for a long period of time," said Trent Hills fire Chief Tim Blake. And there's been "a lot of those" kinds of calls lately, he said. Now, if the firefighters are at a scene for more
than four hours they will be paid $50, "and if they're over eight hours they get $100," said Blake. The increases are retroactive to Jan. 1 of this year. The stipend payment structure was amended recently after council met in closed session to dis-
verse conditions, such as extreme cold or heavy wind, he said. As many as 45 firefighters might be called in for a major fire; "regular calls average about 10," from all three stations, said Blake. The firefighters receive an annual standby stipend of $3,200, in addition to what they are paid for responding to calls.

TRAGIC EVENTS HAPPEN IN A COMMUNITY AND THEY CAN'T BE IGNORED, WRITES EDITOR MIKE JOHNSTON MIKE JOHNSTON Column
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. If it bleeds, it leads. You've probably heard that term in reference to news organizations. While certainly off-colour, it's often true. But why is it that we write "bad news stories" those dealing with death, crime and tragedy? There are a few reasons. As community journalists, we strive to cover our towns and cities fully, reporting the good news and the bad. Our work forms the public record and it's a responsibility we take very seriously. We don't seek out bad news stories - be it a scandal, a car crash or a crime. But we respond, just as we do to the good news stories we also cover. We also know bad news stories are read. One of the things that has benefited journalists as the news business has evolved is our access to data. Through our website, northumberlandnews.com, we're able to track which stories are heavily read and which aren't. And guess what? The bad news stories, the stories about a crash, or a
crime or a murder, bring readers in the thousands to our website and the pages of our newspapers. To just write about all the good news happening in our communities would be a disservice to our readers. We all wish there was no crime or tragedies in our communities but that isn't the case. There are bad people who do bad things. There are also tragic things that happen to very good people. If a community is to grow, develop and evolve it has to know everything that is happening so steps can be taken to prevent a similar occurrence. If we ignore charges of historical sexual assaults against people who were in power, others who were also victims might not come forward. if we don't report on the Wellington Street apartment fire how would residents and neighbours know help is needed for victims of the fire. A newspaper, and its accompanying website, is a historical record of the good and the bad that happens in a community. We can only hope that there is always more good than bad. Mike Johnston is the regional managing editor for Metroland's Durham and Northumberland divisions. We welcome your questions and value your comments. Email our trust committee at trust@metroland.com.

WHO WE ARE
NO MORE U-TURNS, I PROMISE COLUMNIST JOHN CAMPBELL SAYS HIS DAYS OF TAKING U-TURNS ARE OVER JOHN CAMPBELL Column
Confession is good for the soul, they say. Within reason, of course. There are lines, after all, that we dare not cross by unburdening ourselves wholly to ease cumbersome feelings of shame and remorse. Such disclosures are not always received by an audience that's understanding and forgiving. Especially when made at weddings or funerals - even if such occasions are the perfect opportunity for baring one's soul to as many people as possible at one time to achieve the maximum cathartic effect. There's a time and place, I guess. Like now.
But don't expect a brutally frank and exhaustive accounting of my failings; a 390-ish word limit on columns precludes making the effort. (If your curiosity has been piqued, my wife says she'll provide a thorough rendition of my misdemeanours over cups of tea. It could take a week. The missus never misses the opportunity to talk about my missteps.) Enough with the tease, I'll blurt it right out: I have in my life made U-turns. Not habitually. On occasion. When there's no traffic around, pedestrian or otherwise. I like to think that when I execute a manoeuvre frowned upon by the law again, on occasion, when the way is clear, etc. - I am doing my part to help the environment, by shortening my time on the road and thereby causing fewer toxic emissions from my tailpipe to escape into the atmosphere. I suspect there's been no study done to confirm the soundness of my thinking,
in the same way that research has shown how bad idling is for the environment (now that is something I will not do). But the Safe Communities Northumberland pilot project launched recently in Campbellford has led me to do a U-turn on doing Uturns. No more will I be making them - even if the way is clear, it's only once in a while, the game's about to start in 10 minutes, what's the harm? The project, the first of its kind in Canada, has collected data on the habits of motorists and pedestrians for the ultimate purpose of making streets safer to use throughout the county. In the course of monitoring people at the wheel and on foot, several kinds of foolish and risky behaviour were observed, U-turns among them. I could be getting a letter. I assure you it will be the last time I deserve one. John Campbell is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

CAMPBELLFORD CRAWL SET FOR JULY 6 JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com TRENT HILLS - A halfdozen establishments in town are hoping business will slow down to a crawl next month. For one day only, July 6, but if it works out they plan to have it happen again next year. John Graham, owner of Church-Key Pub, came up with the idea for the Campbellford Crawl in discussion with Sandy Macmillan, owner of Sandy's Beach Bar and Patio. "Pub crawls are fun," Graham said, and "we've got more restaurants in Campbellford proper than we have (had) in a lot of years. It's better to work collaboratively, draw from a larger ar-
ea, and make sure everybody has ongoing success." A "rising tide raises all ships," he said. "I think it's wonderful," Macmillan said. "I haven't done a pub crawl in all the businesses I've owned so I find it quite interesting." Four other restaurants agreed to join in - Capers, Sideways, 52 North and Riverview. Capers, ChurchKey Pub and Sideways sit in a row on Bridge Street West, while Riverview, 52 North and Sandy's Beach Bar (in Trent Valley Lanes) are all on Front Street North. "We're reinforcing something that's already happening naturally, (where) people are hopping from one spot to the other," Graham said. "Anything to bring Campbellford closer is a great opportunity for all of us," said Andrew Handley, of Sideways. "If we all take care of each other, then we're all going to succeed." "We're super excited," said Tracey Cousineau, of

The crawl will start at 2 p.m. and end at 6 p.m. "You can start wherever you want," Graham said. "Usually there's no vehicles involved (in a crawl)," Handley said. All the places are close enough to make walking to each one easy enough to do. "You're going to take your time, you're going to chat it up," he said. "It's great for promoting the town."

Tickets are available for $20 at all six locations to receive a drink at each place that's "half portion alcohol," Graham said.

TRENT HILLS - Deciding on where to find a replacement for the fire department's aerial platform truck is no longer up in the air. Council has given fire Chief Tim Blake the goahead to purchase a used one in Texas for US$169,000, subject to an inspection. Manufactured in 2001, it's the cheapest of seven trucks he reviewed, and far less than the $1.2 million it would cost to purchase a new one. A replacement became necessary when an annual safety inspection earlier this year revealed two major cracks in the rear axle
area and it was estimated the cost of repair would exceed $100,000, with no guarantee the fix would be longterm. The 27-year-old truck was purchased in 2009 and has been used in many firefighting operations and rescues since then, Blake said in a report to council. "The aerial platform truck has become an integral part of our response for firefighter safety, firefighting, and resident rescue from multi-level buildings, making it imperative that it be replaced as soon as possible," he wrote. It's particularly useful when dealing with fires at the hospital, multi-care lodge, retirement residence and downtown buildings. "It works very good at chimney fires," added Blake in an interview. The vehicle has also benefited neighbouring municipalities that haven't one but have automatic mutual aid agreements with Trent Hills.

WELLNESS
DEMAND FOR HOSPICE BEDS GROWS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - The bed occupancy rate at The Bridge Hospice in Warkworth continues to rise steadily, with the number of admissions increasing by 22 per cent to 50 residents in a 12-month period ending March 31. Speaking at the hospice's annual general meeting held June 18 at King Edward Park Community Centre, board chair Dave Burnham attributed increasing use of the three-bed residence in part to the organization's outreach efforts to make itself better known. "And, of course, to the exceptional word of mouth recommendations from those touched by our service." Since the hospice opened its doors six years ago, it has provided compassionate end-of-life care to 188 residents and their families. "We've supported people
through their emotional rollercoasters, both laughing and crying together, celebrating special moments and helping to create precious memories for those who will be left behind," said Kerri-Anne Wilson, director of clinical services and operations. Nearly two-thirds of the residents were from Northumberland County, with another 18 per cent from Belleville-Quinte West and 14 per cent from Peterborough County. The average length of stay was 11 days. "The overwhelming response we hear from families is how grateful they are that The Bridge Hospice was there in their time of need," said Burnham. "It is those kinds of comments that make the work here so worthwhile." He said the financial support of donors allows the hospice "to provide the best care possible, in a beautiful home, free of charge to the families."
And the volunteers perform myriad tasks "that are necessary to the smooth operation of the hospice." "Our future looks bright, even as we enter a time of transformation in the province's healthcare infrastructure," Burnham said. Wilson "has taken a very active lead on this initiative from the start, working collaboratively with local and regional care partners to answer the government's call for proposed Ontario health teams." It's a work in progress and Wilson is ensuring that the needs of rural Ontarians, "especially as they pertain to hospice care," are well represented. Treasurer Gerry Hutcheon pointed out the funding support the hospice receives from Saint Elizabeth Community Enterprise comes to an end in 2020. It means "we will need to use our reserves and improve our fundraising base," Hutcheon

Chair Dave Burnham says the future of The Bridge Hospice looks bright. said. Hiring additional staff "to assist us with fundraising will add to our bottom line costs," he said. Hutcheon said afterwards the organization will likely hire someone in September for one year to handle fundraising, rather than leave it to volunteers. "Plus it's been a drain on the existing staff ... to actually try to do all that work as well as look after the hospice," he said.
Past chair Jill Hutcheon was awarded the second annual Ken Partridge Volunteer Award for having helped The Bridge Hospice reach significant milestones. She was one of four retiring board members, the other three being Dr. Kent Tisher, Judy Kaufmann and Dr. Jan Hux. Two new board members were welcomed: Dave MacDougall and Dr. Kelly Parks.

INAUGURAL CONCERT PROVES VALUE OF NEW PARK STAGE
$50K IN GRANTS IN MEMORY OF BRIAN TODD
NEW STAGE IS A WONDERFUL ASSET, WRITES COLUMNIST ALICIA VANDINE
ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com
ALICIA VANDINE Column
The concert atmosphere is one of the top reasons why I love going to concerts. From the moment I arrive at the venue - to waiting in line, taking my seat, during, and even after the concert, there is such a feeling of positive energy. Based on my own experience, I was not surprised to learn that researchers have found that people who are actively engaged with music through dancing and attending events like concerts and musicals reported a higher level of well-being. The overall atmosphere of a concert
leaves no room for any other emotions, other than excitement and happiness. Although technological advancements and streaming services have increased the availability of and accessibility to music, it's simply not the same as being part of a live music experience and listening in the company of others. The inaugural concert at the new performance stage at Brighton's Memorial Park did not disappoint, with happy shiny faces filling the large crowd. Bentwood Rocker, a pop/ rock vocal quintet and local favourite, officially launched the free 2019 Music in the Park concert series. There were toes tapping, fans singing and a few up dancing on a beautiful, sunny Wednesday evening. I also noticed how diverse the audience was, with teens, young families, couples, grandparents and groups of friends all greeting each other.
The new performance stage is such a wonderful asset for the municipality, and a tribute to groups working together to achieve great things for their community. Grants from the province through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, municipal council, the Lions and Rotary clubs, along with the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund all chipped in to make this new stage possible. The old gazebo definitely had character, and some were sad to see it go, but this new multi-purpose stage will serve residents well for many years to come. I am looking forward to attending more Music in the Park concerts this summer, and I am sure that this stage will become an artistic and wellloved community hub in Brighton.

BREWED WITH PASSION IN BRIGHTON, ONT. VIC SCHUKOV Column
Chris Auger-Jalbert and Sarah Pelletier epitomize the term "busy beavers." Sarah is a registered nurse working as a surgical assistant in Belleville Hospital's operating room. Chris is a search and rescue technician with the military in Trenton. In between insane schedules, they own and operate a booming (sparkling) tea microsteepery in Brighton called Number E Tea Company (more on that later). Chris was born in Quebec City; Sarah in Baie-Comeau, Que. They met 17 years ago, while taking a college paramedic course. He was already in the army reserves in Quebec City before moving to Ontario to join the Air Force. A year later, he was posted in Bagotville as an F18 jet fighter technician. In 2008, he trained in search and rescue in Comox, B.C. before posting in Trenton. The couple moved to Brighton in 2010. Sarah trained as a barista before earning certification as a tea sommelier. In September 2015, they started a tea bar at the Wellington Farmers Market. That winter, they headbanged with handcrafted iced tea recipes and arrived at a new concept: Carbonated all-natural tea. "I thought to serve it on tap like beer, as an alternative to alcohol, so the next season we showed up with kegs. It was a hit in Wellington. People consistently asked where they could buy it, so we decided to push the project further and work on putting the sparkling teas in cabs for a wider distribution. While developing more recipes, we found a place to

brew in Brighton," said Auger-Jalbert. So they joined the Faster Forward program in the Northumberland Business Centre (now called the Business and Entrepreneurship Center Northumberland), and received a grant to develop a commercial enterprise. In the process, they developed three different formulae for sparkling teas. In August 2018, the Brighton-based canning operation went full steam. "We travel to India, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, and other places like London where tea is a big influence, inspired by local tea trends, finding super teas we can mix. We also carry a selection of single estates loose leaves teas for tea connoisseurs," said Pelletier. Every year, the couple goes to Asia to create new contacts, and import the leaves. They have two flavours presently on the market: Hanging Belay: Oolong, blueberry and lemon. Arroyo: Hibiscus, cranberry and apple; caffeine-free. A third formula is being launched this month.
Auger-Jalbert's philosophy is succinct: "You have to live in the present as much as possible. The future is a notion, and the past does not exist. This business has opened our horizon to the whole world, motivated us to travel. The business side is new to us. All the networking of new friends is refreshing. We realize there is a way to be your own boss, while helping the economy and hopefully creating new jobs." Number E Tea Company sells to places like Whistling Duck and Lola's; no big grocery stores, as their niche is small spaces like health stores. They currently have over 20 outlets from Belleville and Prince Edward

It is difficult for small businesses to expand as it takes money you don't necessarily have when you start out. We produce an extremely original alternative to alcohol, with mindful drinking in mind; it is a healthy product with premium ingredients. We focus on quality, and promote a healthy lifestyle on our website. We care about the environment," said Auger-Jalbert. Number E sparkling iced teas combine signature blends of pure loose-leaf teas with all-natural ingredients for depth and clean, bright flavour. "It's been a long road, and we're proud to say we do everything ourselves in small batches at our microsteepery in the thin beautiful Brighton, Ont.," said Pelletier. This summer they are serving their sparkling teas on tap at the Codrington Farmers Market on the last Sunday of every month.

WHAT'S ON
SPIRIT FEST SET TO GO JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
COLBORNE - The firstever Spirit Fest takes place this Saturday at Victoria Square and what a debut it promises to be, with live music and great food prepared by accomplished chefs. The musical acts include Kyler Tapscott, the Spirits and Mike Kelly. Exquisite Delectables, Everyday Chef's Best and Spring Loaded Toronto will be among those serving fine food from noon to 3 p.m. The cost is $50 per person and includes the rock 'n' roll show that starts at 4 p.m. and ends at 10 p.m. Tickets for the concert alone are $25 apiece. There will be vendors as well, selling honey, household cleaning prod-
ucts, herbal medicine and more. The June 29 licensed event has been organized by Cramahe Strong, a committee whose objective is to further develop the ecology garden and nature trail at Memorial Park as well as improve the tennis courts, ball hockey pad, basketball court and fastball diamonds. Plans include redeveloping the tennis court's dilapidated clubhouse for use by different groups and adding a shelter area. Cramahe Strong chair Alex Rutherford says the estimated cost of the longterm project is $400,000, which he is confident will get done through fundraising, government grants and the support of volunteers.
Council will not be asked to contribute taxpayer dollars, he vowed. "We have a very low tax base so I can't go ask for a couple hundred thousand and feel good about it," said Rutherford, who's enlisted the support of local businesses. When all the work is done, the township won't be asked to assume responsibility for maintaining the different facilities, it will be volunteers who look after them, he said. Flo's Ecology Garden was named in honour of his mother, Florian, who passed away in 1996. She was an avid sponsor and supporter of local sports in the Colborne area. Cramahe Strong's plans have received enthusiastic support from the community.

"I have never seen this much energy," Rutherford said, since Colborne and Cramahe Township amalgamated in 2001. The committee has already done much to improve the park's facilities in recent years. It repaired the dugout, painted the score booth and bleachers, erected a fence, made a nature trail with wood chips, trimmed trees, cleaned out brush, and removed logs and garbage from a stream. "Each year there's three or four thousand that goes into this," said Rutherford, a semi-retired financial adviser, who's dipped into his own pocket to help pay for many of the improvements. He and the committee also started up a fastball league and organized a

LIBRARY BOARD HONOURS 'THE KING OF PUBLIC SERVICE' JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - A ceremony was held Saturday morning, June 8, dedicating the children's library in honour of Brighton's longest-serving mayor. William Pettingill (19372007) moved to Brighton in 1965 to teach at the public school and was appointed its principal in 1969. He was elected to the village's council in 1972 and voted in as reeve in 1978. Pettingill became Brighton's first mayor in 1980 when the village's status changed to that of a town. He was acclaimed five times as mayor from 1982 to 1994, during which time the municipal building was erected on Alice Street and later expanded to include the public library and health unit.
Pettingill helped negotiate the amalgamation of the Town of Brighton and Brighton Township that created the Municipality of Brighton in 2001. He retired from teaching in 1992 and from public life in 2000. He was "the king of public service" who led the municipality at a time when it was growing and undergoing many changes, local historian Dan Buchanan said in a tribute he prepared which former mayor Mark Walas read out. Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, who got to know Pettingill as a fellow teacher and principal, said in an email read out by Walas that Pettingill had been "a great supporter of children's literature ... encouraging children to become good readers." "Bill was one of the best

Joan Pettingill thanked all the people involved in the June 8 dedication as well those who had worked with her late husband. She singled out Coun. Mary Tadman for special mention "for making all this happen," in suggesting that his memory be honoured
and ensuring that it was. Library board chair Bob Burke said members "readily agreed that it was appropriate that we should have the children's library remembered in Bill's name." "Bill would be very proud," Joan said. She donated a bench that sits outside the library in memory of her husband.
TRENT HILLS - Kawarthas Northumberland is inviting local businesses to get involved in Canada's first ever waterway Trail Town program. The trail is the Trent-Severn Waterway, a national historic site of Canada, and the benefits from taking part in the program "include the opportunity to increase revenue by engaging relatively low-impact trail visitors," Brenda Wood, executive director for Kawarthas Northumberland, said in a news release. Similar programs elsewhere have shown creating trail-friendly towns will entice trail tourists into local business districts and generate millions of dollars in sustainable economic growth for small businesses.

es receive guidance on how to better serve paddlers, boaters, and land-trail users who seek to enjoy areas within two kilometres of the Trent-Severn Waterway," said Wood. "We provide a kit that includes trail information and history, as well as a decal for their window, and an opportunity to participate in related retail promotions and tourism marketing as a trail-friendly business." Campbellford is among a group of communities to express interest in becoming designated as Trent-Severn Trail Towns. It's voluntary and there is no cost for businesses to participate, but the program does require staff to be familiar with the waterway, to provide friendly customer service, to be knowledgeable of other businesses along the waterway, and to maintain trail-friendly information. Businesses interested in joining the program can email partner@rto8.com for an application.

STRAIGHT SHAFT BRUSHCUTTERS MS 170
BENEFITS OF STRAIGHT SHAFTS
GAS CHAIN SAW
19995
$
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.

• Perfect for serious homeowners and landscapers, producing professional results. • Simple starting makes these blowers easy to use. • Fuel-efficient engine and large fuel tank equates to longer runtimes on a single tank.

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.
