JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - The provincial government says municipalities need to manage their energy usage efficiently because greenhouse gas emissions - produced by natural gas and electricity use - fuel climate change.

Under Ontario's Electricity Act municipalities are required to prepare a corporate energy management plan every five years.

The plan Trent Hills adopted in 2014 was replaced earlier this month with one that has objectives the chair of the municipality's energy management committee says are "doable ... if everything works well."

Community recreation officer Peter Burnett said the last plan "was a good news story for sure."

"We actually saw a 14 per cent reduction in electricity use," said Burnett. "It exceeded our target for electricity use overall, around five per cent in total energy."

John Campbell/Torstar Community recreation officer Peter Burnett says the 2014-19 corporate energy management plan was 'a good news story' and he expects more of the same with the new one.

CAMPBELLFORD STREET LIGHT CONVERSION PROJECT PAYS OFF IN SAVINGS Continued from page 1

Presqu'ile Provincial Park photo BRIGHTON - Ontario won't be charging a fee to use its provincial parks this Friday as part of Healthy Parks Healthy People. Presqu'ile Provincial Park will do its part on July 19 by hosting three events: Yoga in the morning followed by a guided bird walk, and Art in the Park in the afternoon.

NO FEE TO USE PARKS BRIGHTON - Ontario won't be charging a fee to use its provincial parks this Friday.

"Healthy Parks Healthy People" is an international movement launched by Victoria Parks in Australia in 2000 to reinforce and encourage connections between a healthy environment and a healthy society.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park will do its part on July 19 by hosting three events: Yoga in the morning followed by a guided bird walk, and Art in the Park in the afternoon.

The yoga class, led by Get Yoga, a company based in Trenton, will begin at 8:30 a.m. To take part, bring a mat or towel and meet on the Campfire Field, by the amphitheatre.

Ontario parks have lots to offer. You can go hiking, forest bathing (finding peace in the presence of trees), cycling, swimming or paddling.

You can also have a picnic or sit in the shade with a cold drink.

To learn more about Healthy Parks Healthy People visit www.ontarioparks.com/hphp.

Much of that could be attributed to the municipality having replaced all its street lights with the LED kind, and doing the same at the Campbellford arena.

"The streetlight conversion was an enormous change," said Burnett. "That really contributed a significant amount to that 14 per cent (reduction in electricity use)."

The change at the rink resulted in 52,000 fewer kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity being used there in 2018, according to IndEco Strategic Consulting Inc., the Toronto firm hired to prepare the corporate energy management plan for 2019-24.

Other measures included lowering the heat in some of the rooms in the wastewater treatment plant in Hastings, using biogas at the Campbellford plant to heat all its buildings, replacing pumps and appliances, and dropping the ceiling in Campbellford's fire hall so less space is heated.

The new plan recommends retrofitting lighting in the municipal office, the Warkworth fire station and the Hastings field house, upgrading ultra-violet filtration at the wastewater treat-

ment plant in Campbellford, and incorporating motion detectors on lighting where appropriate.

It also recommends eliminating the use of fuel oil at two public works depots.

Burnett said greenhouse gas emissions are more "in the forefront" with the new plan than the last one.

The overall aim is to reduce electricity and fossil fuel consumption by two per cent.

"In the long run that saves taxpayers money," he said. "Even though hydro prices might be going up our consumption is less, so you are reducing the impact on the taxpayer."

The plan is "so much more comprehensive" than the previous one that it "has generated a lot of enthusiasm with the energy management team," said Burnett.

The team comprises all department heads and the chief administrative officer.

Mayor Bob Crate said Trent Hills goes "above and beyond" what it is required to do by law in "looking all the time at ways to do things better."

IndEco estimated it would cost $50,000 a year for the next five years to implement the plan.

THE ISSUE: CONCERN OVER CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSED BY GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS CONTINUES TO GROW LOCAL IMPACT: PROVINCIAL LAW REQUIRES MUNICIPALITIES TO PREPARE A CORPORATE ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN EVERY FIVE YEARS "It will become a natural part of our operational state," said Burnett.

It was money well-spent to hire a consultant for about $10,000 "to go really deep into all the data" to come up with a plan.

"I'm very optimistic," he said.

"Of course it will be challenging trying to balance the operational needs with the financial demands."

Crate said the plan, which staff helped shape through their input, has set "reasonable goals."

"We try to be realistic, there's no use setting a goal you can't attain," he said.

Further efficiencies in energy use will be achieved when the new fire hall currently being built in Campbellford is completed, and the proposed recreation and wellness centre eventually is constructed.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

The Independent interviewed the chair of the energy management committee, overseeing the energy management plan to find out what its targets are, how it hopes to meet those targets and staff's hopes for success.

FOOD FESTIVAL DRAWS THOUSANDS TO CAMPBELLFORD JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com CAMPBELLFORD - The Incredible Edibles Festival once again lived up to its promise, to the delight of more than 4,000 people who attended the July 13 event.

Festival chair Amanda Solmes said attendance might even have approached 5,000.

"This is what makes living in rural Ontario amazing,"

– MPP David Piccini

"It's probably our biggest year (of the six festivals) but not by too much," she said.

A record number of vendors took part in the festival, 63 in total, including 13 artisans, a feature that hadn't been part of the event in years past.

"It went over really well," said Solmes.

"I kept hearing again and again that it was the best festival yet. Everyone liked the layout.

There was a little more diversity with the vendors this year.

There was more actual food to

eat ... than we've ever had."

It helped that the number of volunteers on the organizing team had doubled, making it the largest group ever.

"And we also got lots of high school help, which we've never really had in the past," said Solmes.

She told attendees on Saturday that the team had shrunk to the point where "we weren't even sure if we were going to be able to carry on for another year."

"We were all happy. Everyone seemed pretty happy."

Fifty-five people went on the all-day farm tour held July 12, requiring the use of two buses for the first time.

"They all had a fabulous day as well," visiting four farms, she said.

"This is what makes living in rural Ontario amazing," MPP David Piccini told organizers, thanking them for their efforts, a sentiment also expressed by MP Kim Rudd and Mayor Bob Crate.

WHAT A CHECKUP AT 'GUY DENTISTRY' COULD LOOK LIKE COLUMNIST NEIL CRONE SAYS THE IDEA OF GENDER-SPECIFIC DENTISTRY MADE HIM SMILE NEIL CRONE Column

I saw a sign over a local dental office the other day that said Guy Dentistry. It made me laugh. In all likelihood, there is, in fact, an actual Dr. Guy in there, taking care of people's teeth, but it was the idea of gender-specific dentistry that made me smile.

Naturally, I wondered what "guy" dentistry might look like.

For starters, I figured pretty much all of their business would be strictly walk-in. Guys are terrible at booking any kind of health-related appointments until they're actually bleeding from somewhere.

The reception area at Guy Dentistry would likely not have a receptionist, strictly speaking, but a bartender. Joe or Biff or Lou would smile and wave you over to the counter and set you up with a little precheckup bracer while you told him what was bothering you. Guys feel awkward opening up about any pain- or health-related issues to a spouse or co-worker, but they'll tell a bartender anything.

There would, of course, be any number of television screens showing various sporting events and Liam Neeson films. For those seeking a quieter wait, there would be a selection of comfy recliners replete with an array of guy reading material - everything from Field & Stream to back issues of Playboy for the senior clientele.

But the actual time in the chair is what would really make Guy Dentistry unique. The dentists would

all have names like Jack, Stan and Walt. Great big guys with huge smiles and skin like leather. They'd be wearing hunting vests and camo pants, and if they did wear a surgical mask, you can bet it'd have a few flyfishing lures hanging from it. Picture Hemingway, Lee Marvin or Robert Mitchum slapping you on the back and clamping you in a vice-like handshake as you slid into the chair.

"Neil, you ol' son of a gun, how the hell are ya? Open up, pal, and let's have a look at those chompers! Christ on a cracker, you gotta molar back here rotting faster than the Argos' defence!"

And Guy Dentistry would be financially appealing, as well. No expensive freezing, just a shot or two of bourbon and damn the torpedoes! Don't have a dental plan and worried that your kid might need braces?

"Whadya talkin' about?

Braces are for sissies! Get the kid playing hockey. The puck'll look after those wonky teeth." Pure Guy logic.

And finally, once you were done and had gargled with a little single malt, you'd be sent on your way with another hearty slap on the back and a dirty joke.

"So, a rabbi, a priest and a dental hygienist walk into a bar ..."

And you'd get a little bag of stuff to take with you.

Nothing silly like dental floss or a new brush, but stuff a guy could really use.

Like a Swiss Army knife, a suturing kit or a new fan belt.

I dunno. I could be on to something here.

WHO WE ARE

FOUL ODOURS IRK RESIDENTS COLUMNIST JOHN CAMPBELL SAYS RESIDENTS IRATE LIVES ARE BEING RUINED BY PUNGENT ODOURS THAT GROW OPS EMIT JOHN CAMPBELL Column

Outraged and frustrated.

That's how residents who live near grow ops are feeling.

With good reason.

The stench given off by the marijuana plants is overwhelming. The residents' quality of life is being diminished by an odour that can only be described as skunk funky.

It wouldn't be a problem if the grow ops employed proper air filtration systems to prevent the stink from migrating off-site.

It's what Health Canada requires before it will issue a licence.

That the problem persists and seems to be getting worse as these sites proliferate points to two conclusions. Health Canada could do a better job ensuring its standards are being met operationally, and, two, illegal operations are increasing in number that care not the slightest about the impact their way of doing business is having on the community.

Their overriding concern, it appears, is more about cutting costs and padding profits than having regard for people who live in the area.

They are not what you would call good neighbours.

Police have not shown any strong desire to crack down on the illicit operations. It's a new world out there and making the transition to how the new laws are to be upheld is something of a work in progress.

Brighton Coun. Doug LeBlanc explained the police reluctance when coun-

cil changed its comprehensive zoning bylaw to restrict where grow ops could locate.

He was told by police "they couldn't do much ... until there was enough cannabis being grown legally."

Brighton's planning consultant, Darryl Tighe, agreed, saying, "It's essentially a situation driven by the under-supply (of recreational cannabis) in the province," which was "late getting out of the gate," he said.

It's not fair residents are having to suffer while all this gets sorted out.

Cramahe Township Mayor Mandy Martin doesn't plan to wait.

She's fed up with what's going on in the municipality and has announced she's in favour of taking a grow op to court in hopes of getting a decision that will put an end to the tide of grow ops popping up all over the township.

It's a fight, should council back her, that will have the support of many throughout Northumberland.

FEDS COMMIT $71 MILLION TO MOBILE BROADBAND PROJECT JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com CODRINGTON - The federal government will match the $71 billion in funding the province has committed to the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) mobile broadband project.

Northumberland-Peterborough South MP Kim Rudd made the announcement on July 4 on behalf of Minister of Rural Economic Development Bernadette Jordan, saying the first phase of the project the installation of 317 new telecommunications towers and an additional 32 local internet access points "will improve the overall mobile coverage for residents of eastern Ontario."

"The second phase will identify capacity gaps resulting from heavy usertraffic, and upgrade equipment to reduce network overloads, and improve service quality in rural communities," she added.

"Once completed this project will improve mobile coverage for over 1.1 million residents in eastern Ontario."

Rudd said the new network "will allow businesses to grow and reach new markets, with a potential to create more than 3,000 full-time jobs over 10 years."

For residents and families it will mean "better access to applications on a smartphone or tablet, and to high-definition videos."

It will also make it easi-

er for people in remote areas to call for help in emergency situations.

Members of Northumberland County council and representatives from EORN attended the event held at the community centre, in an area where there are cellular dead zones.

Peterborough county warden J. Murray Jones, the chair of EORN, said the network started by the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus (EOWC) "is all about doing the right thing for the right reason."

"People want their mobile devices to work," he said, particularly when they need emergency help on the road.

"We're going to fill the gaps just as soon as we

EOWC chair Andy Letham said the project is "exciting" and "a wonderful cap" to what the caucus has done over the past few years, "working really, really hard to pull this off."

"It's going to make a big

difference in our communities," he said.

The EOWC will contribute $10 million toward the $213 million project. Private partners will fund the rest of the cost not shouldered by the three levels of government.

Port Hope Mayor Bob Sanderson, speaking on behalf of the county, said things get done when there's collaboration.

Improving and expanding mobile broadband coverage "has been priority one" for local councils, "followed closely by housing."

Elected officials in each of the member municipalities hear from their citizens "almost every day" about how much "the deficiency affects their family life, their quality of life generally," as well as their ability to summon emergency assistance and to create a business, he said.

Brighton Coun. Mark Bateman, who organized a public roundtable discussion earlier this year about internet and mobile broadband services in the municipality, said afterwards he was "thrilled" with the funding announcement.

"It's something ... we've all been pushing for," he said. "This is great for the community."

RESERVISTS MARCH THROUGH CAMPBELLFORD JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

The march commemorated the hundreds of miles that soldiers with the regiment covered advancing through Italy during the Second World War. The third reason was the exposure it gave the regiment while "circumnavigating (its) recruitment zone, an area that takes in Belleville, Peterborough and Cobourg," said Stokes.

The intent was to not only increase awareness of the regiment but also interest young civilians in joining up, Stokes said.

Stokes said he wants the 100 Mile Ruck to become a tradition, "to bond our soldiers."

CAMPBELLFORD Members of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment had three good reasons for striding through town on July 9.

"It's a good team-building exercise," said Chief Warrant Officer Dean Stokes when the Canadian Armed Forces reservists stopped briefly at the cenotaph.

Up to 20 members of the regiment, 22 to 50 years of age, took part in the two-day march, which started out a day earlier in Cobourg and ended in Belleville. Each of the reservists walked one or more of the four 20-kilometre legs scheduled for each day.

The 100 Mile Ruck, as it was called, also helped everyone involved "understand the sacrifices that our soldiers, our forefathers, made to give us our peace and liberty today," said Stokes, the regimental ser-

BRIGHTON - Delving into the past is now a whole lot easier at the Brighton Public Library thanks to an $8,000 digital microfilm reader donated by the Colby family - in memory of Margaret Colby, who passed away last year.

Her father, Don Colby, taught geography at East Northumberland Secondary School for 26 years and served on the library board for nine years, six years as its chair.

"The Colby family wanted to do something that many people could benefit from," said library chief executive officer Heather Ratz.

BUSINESS

HAPPY PLACE, HAPPY OWNER JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com BRIGHTON - Keeping customers satisfied is the guiding principle of businesses.

Patrice Burns takes it one step further. She wants her customers to be happy. Really happy.

How? By visiting her Happy Place in the Prince Edward Street plaza.

"They'll find everything" they need for their emotional well-being.

It could be angels, dragons, crystals, garden ornaments, or books "that will lift you up, giving you motivation, positivity, " Burns said.

She also has tarot cards, oracle cards, angel cards - "You name it, it's here."

Burns said she obtained a diploma in spiritual psychotherapy and

certification in life coaching at Transformational Arts College in Toronto where she was born and raised - but she "never did anything with it."

She chose instead to become a real estate agent and worked at that for 29 years before retiring in April.

"I thought it was time that I do what I do, and that is to help people into their own happy place," Burns said.

She plans to hold workshops and meditations to help participants "find different ways of dealing with their stress, other than medicating," she said. "I'd rather teach them to meditate."

"I'm also here for the kids," teenagers in particular, Burns added.

Her goal is to give people "a toolbox" like the one that worked for her

Hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed Sunday and Monday years ago when she was "going through different traumas" in her life.

"I found a whole different place and I'm much happier now," she said.

Since opening her business in late May, "the response has been amazing," Burns said. "I get a lot of people in here where we end up in tears.

Sometimes it's happy tears, sometimes it's pain."

She's there "to help them move through that in a safe way on their own

John Campbell/Torstar Mayor Brian Ostrander cut the ribbon and then the cake at the official opening of Happy Place recently. Owner Patrice Burns says the store has everything for people in search of happiness. ... I'm only here to walk with them."

She's conducting an empathy workshop in July.

"I love people," Burns said.

Sometimes it got in the

way of being a real estate agent. She'd get so caught up in the lives of her clients, where she was "coaching" them more than she was trying to make a deal.

Clients would decide to

CAMPBELLFORD - A local merchant is in line to win a jackpot of more than $10,000 from the provincial lottery.

Catherine Ma purchased a poker Lotto All In ticket on May 7 at RX Drug Mart on Grand Road, next to the convenience store, B & C Variety, that she and her husband own.

It's also an authorized Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) Corporation location, so her claiming a prize falls within OLG's definition of an insider win, said the crown agency in a media release.

It noted Ma neither purchased the ticket at her place of employment or validated it there.

The poker Lotto All In jackpot prize was for $9,859.60 and Ma also won $500 on the instant portion of

not to sell their homes but were grateful for the help she gave them, prompting her broker to ask: "Are you a Realtor or are you a therapist?"

"That's one of the reasons I retired," she said, to go back to her roots, to where her "heart is. And that's to help people to go in a different direction, or grow within themselves, do their own healing."

There's a room in her store where there are angel wings painted on a wall, which people can stand in front of "to heal" and embrace the "energy" of angels.

There's also an angel wishing fountain in her store where donations are accepted, with all money going to different charities.

her scratch ticket, raising her total winnings to $10,359.60.

As of July 11, Ma had completed the first step of a twostep Insider Win process, which included enhanced scrutiny of the prize claim.

To complete the second step of the process, the prize will be held for 30 days, to allow OLG to publicize the win.

If there are no additional claims on the prize Ma will receive her money on Aug. 7.

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.

BRIGHTON'S OWN: A TOWN OVERFLOWING WITH WISDOM COLUMNIST VIC SCHUKOV REFLECTS ON WHAT BRIGHTON HAS TAUGHT HIM VIC SCHUKOV Column

I'm doffing my interviewer's cap to reflect on what I have learned living in this sweet spot called Brighton.

Someone should write a book called The Wisdom of Brighton.

Here is just a sample of the philosophies from people here I have interviewed (omitting quotation marks and names):

Dealing with adversity: Life is a journey. And you try to dance when it rains, and bask in the sun.

If you're not happy, get happy. It's up to you. If you are in a bad situation, get out of it.

When life is tough, be proactive and believe that you are going to be OK. Don't let bad times keep you down. There are little things like noticing a butterfly or a cloud. If something goes wrong, scream and swear but get over it, get it fixed and move on.

Life is good.

Life is a gift. The wiser you want to be, the more upsets happen in your life.

That's not the end of the world. You can't learn unless you go through the fire a number of times.

A winner doesn't quit, and a quitter doesn't win.

Keep smiling no matter how tough it gets. Work hard. Love people. Love family. Keep busy and give all you can.

I believe in and accept life as it is. Do the best you can with what you've got, and be good to people.

Without kindness, joy and forgiveness, you're gonna' walk around unhappy all your life.

Always get up in the morning for tomorrow; that's where a lot of people get mixed up. They try and live yesterday.

Gratitude:

Reinventing yourself: I don't do what I don't love. You can't work all your life and just retire.

You have to start thinking now about what you are going to do.

Adventure is all about getting out the door. Just get out the door.

Take the back roads, not always the same road.

If you believe in something and it comes from the heart, people will rally around you.

Surround yourself in excellence and beautiful things will happen.

Between your head, where the declaration starts, and your feet, which get you going, is your heart.

Giving back: If you give back, you have a better life and feel better about yourself. We should all be about pure joy.

You get whatever you

put in. You can't not do something. You can always help somebody.

I believe you owe it to society to make the best of your resources to build upon the society that made you.

You can't change the world, but you can make changes on a community level.

My gift is to serve those falling through the cracks who need to feel valued. It is a journey, taking my

heart to their heart. I want to be love and share it.

I feel blessed. I am not a spectator. I am a participator. We live our lives serving others.

Happiness: Some people say they're dead at 50 but don't bury 'em till they're 90. I haven't found any miserable people here yet. I say, have fun. Every day, do something you enjoy.

You are part of every-

one else. When you discover this, the joy is unlimited. Let's celebrate that we're here. I love people, love life, and can't contain my happiness.

I can only be happy if I am honest with myself and others.

I live each day to be happy and make other people happy. Like the flowers in my garden, I am happy where I am planted, and I am not done blooming.

QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS FOCUSED ON YOUR HEARING HEALTH

First thing every day, I give thanks; it's less work than anger.

I always see the good in people. Being in Brighton is like having a little piece of Heaven.

For all that has been thanks. For all that will be - yes.

I am happy to have made it to this age. You get a whole new outlook on life. You are grateful, and the big things become very small, and the small things become bigger because you make them bigger in appreciation.

Let's end on some humorous philosophies: Never wear white when you go to the dentist, so you can't see the footprint.

Remember, when life is hard and its rewards are few, the mighty oak was once a nut like you.

I used to have a philosophy but I forgot it.

CRAMAHE TOWNSHIP Farmers who were delayed planting their crops this spring because of the cool, wet weather told Ontario Minister of Agriculture Ernie Hardeman that it's their "number 1 issue."

He learned what they're thinking in a roundtable discussion held July 4 at Norwood that he and local Progressive Conservative MPP David Piccini took part in before making their way to the 25th annual Northumberland Cattlemen's Association's Beef Day, hosted

by Doug Gray and Bonnie Wilson on their Jakobi Road farm north of Castleton.

The spring weather's impact has been "varied" throughout the province, Hardeman said.

"It's not quite as bad in eastern Ontario" as it is in parts of southwestern Ontario, where "there's still not a lot of acres planted."

"If we have the right summer heat and we have a late enough fall," farmers won't require assistance, Hardeman said.

But in counties like Essex and Lambton, "Agricorp will be paying out unseeded benefits because they won't be able to get the crops in some of the acres, and insurance covers that."

Last year it was a late spring as well for planting, but in the end "it was a bumper crop," he said.

The weather had improved so much in recent days that "they say if you put your ear real close to the ground, you could hear the corn growing," Hardeman joked.

Just about every commodity in agriculture was represented at the roundtable - beef, pork and chicken farmers, honey and maple syrup producers, and cash croppers - "and they told us what red tape we could remove to help them," and other things that the government could be doing better.

Hardeman said he would take that information back to his ministry "to see if we can't fix the problem."

He also heard government needs to make sure that "sup-

CRAMAHE TOWNSHIP The bridge on Barnes Road remains a thorn in the side road for Cramahe.

The span over CN tracks was closed seven years ago, after the railway did a structural report.

The cost of replacing the bridge was originally pegged at more than $1 million, and

then under $1 million if reduced to a single lane, but CN never proceeded with the project.

Mayor Mandy Martin said the railway was looking at a prototype that had been proposed in southwestern Ontario that "came in at a much lower cost."

"They were using that as a test case to see what happens," she said.

But it went "completely off

port programs are there when support is needed," such as ensuring there's money available when disaster strikes.

Asked about the trade deal that's been struck between Canada, the United States and Mexico, Hardeman said "we expect much more from our producers" than those in other countries "in terms of regulations and things they must do."

The Ontario government responded by scrapping the carbon pricing program and holding off raising the minimum wage that the Liberals had planned, because both would have made the province's agricultural products more expensive than those of Canada's two trading partners, he said.

For people in horticulture, "it's a big difference in their bottom line" not having to pay the higher minimum wage, making them "more competitive."

"We can't change what others do, but we can make sure that we do what we can to make that a level playing field with others," Hardeman said.

Cutting red tape that's superfluous is important to making that happen.

"Everything we ask of farmers should have a benefit to society for them to fill out the paperwork. If there's no benefit, get rid of it."

"We don't want to do anything to detract from the fact that we have the safest and ... best food in the world," he said.

the rails when the contractor went bust."

"So here we are back at square one, so now we're looking at other options," such as replacing the bridge with one that's single lane.

"They were supposed to get back to us with further options and that has not happened," said Martin.

She met with three CN officials in late May to discuss the bridge, along with other matters.

"They were supposed to get back to me within two weeks," she said, but they haven't.

"I'm exceedingly disappointed that nothing has happened ... (and) that we haven't heard anything more on the Barnes bridge," said Martin.

"We have 23 residents (who) are fundamentally on a deadend street," and have to take a long detour to Hunt Road to move about the township.

"It's a concern," Martin said.

She acknowledged it's "a tough, tough situation" CN finds itself in, because of the steep approach on both sides of the bridge.

"I get it but there has to be a way," she said.

Cramahe Township - Interim fire Chief Tim Burgess is interim no more.

His appointment as fire chief was made official in a news release the municipality sent out on July 9.

Mayor Mandy Martin said the township is pleased to have Burgess lead the volunteer fire department, citing his "calibre and commitment."

"We welcome Tim's leadership on Team Cramahe."

Burgess has more than 30 years of experience responding to emergencies in various capacities and environments, as industrial firefighter, volTim Burgess unteer firefighter with several municipal fire departments, nuclear plant firefighter and forest firefighter with the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Before his recent retirement from Ontario Power Generation, Burgess worked seven years delivering health and safety training to OPG firefighters.

He developed a rescue planning program specifically for industrial workers who fall while working at heights.

Burgess has been an instructor in the fire service and industrial sectors since 2007.

Raised on a farm, he "appreciates the needs of the rural community and the direction of a rural fire department," the municipal release said.

Burgess graduated from the Ontario Fire College with a company officer diploma and training officer certification in Ontario. He has completed numerous professional courses since then.

Cramahe Fire Department's personnel are "exceptional team members" whose duties include responding to fire, medical emergencies and other situations, and staying up-to-date on safety training and awareness, Martin said.

They're "dedicated people (who) go above and beyond in so many ways, volunteering often without any recognition - for the benefit of us all."

Burgess became the interim fire chief after his predecessor, Brandon Northrup, tendered his resignation, effective immediately, on Jan. 4.

He had been with the department for more than 17 years and its chief since 2011.
