Two people who currently hold office have decided not to run again, Deputy Mayor Roger McMurray in Brighton, and veteran councillor Bill Thompson in Trent Hills. The Independent will continue its series of profiles on each of the candidates in the weeks to come.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Coun. Mary Tadman has a simple reason why she's looking to be elected for a third straight term: "I really have a keen interest in the town. I've lived here all my life. I just like to make good things happen." She's hoping the next council will be a much more harmonious group than the current one. "I'm not a confrontational person, you should work as a team," Tadman said. "That hasn't always happened but I certainly (stayed) true to my own values (by voting) the way I personally think is best for all the ratepayers."

Tadman sits on the library board, represents Brighton at Lower Trent Conservation, and is a member of the accessibility committee. The committees "I like better than council," she joked. "It's not that I don't enjoy council (but) I think we can do a much better job with team building. I really have a hard time when staff are attacked. If we can't work together we'll fail as a community." Tadman said the ongoing friction is "one of the main reasons" employees are leaving. "They don't want to put up with (it)." The tense situation "affects everybody," she said. "The controversy all the

"I love Brighton. I won't want that kind of negative talk. "I do get tired of the controversy but I don't let it bother me like it used to," Tadman continued. "Everybody is entitled to their own opinion ... People should be able to accept (that) fact." At the same time, "I don't back down from bullies or people trying to push their own way," she said.

And once council makes a decision she might not agree with, "I don't run around slamming it." With a new council, "I think we can move forward in a positive way," she said. Tadman, who's 72, served on council for three years prior to her most recent return to politics. "I was at that point in life where I thought I could contribute," she said. Helping to establish transit service within Brighton and to Trenton through Quinte Access was good for the community. "It's starting to pick up ridership," she said. "It's a real asset for people who no longer can drive." Tadman said she's given voters "enough reason to trust" her based on what she's done over the past seven-plus years. "I've been encouraged by a lot of people to run again," she said. "Those people feel confident I always look out for the taxpayer."

MARTINELLO WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR TRANSPARENCY AS BRIGHTON COUNCILLOR JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Coun. John Martinello isn't running for mayor but he's definitely running against the one now in office. In explaining his reasons for seeking a third term as councillor, Martinello said "there is clearly something not right happening here when consistently throughout this term of council ... somebody's coming forward complaining about storm water drainage issues, and they're not being resolved." "I understand the need for development fully but ... it should not endanger the value or the safety of existing properties and homes," which many people feel is the case, he said. "There has to be a check on how development is happening," be-

cause of the complaints council receives from residents who claim work being done by builders is adversely affecting their lives. "These are issues that have gone on for a long time," Martinello said. The answer is "better management of development and new leadership of this municipality, that being the mayor (Mark Walas)," Martinello said. Walas, who has said Brighton doesn't need a new mayor but a new council, recuses himself whenever matters come up affecting his numbered company, but Martinello said that isn't enough because "there's an inherent conflict in the fact that he is a developer sitting at the head of this council." It's "a weird situation" when council decisions involving developments put forward by the mayor end

up being challenged in hearings that cost the municipality money, Martinello said. Martinello also criticizes how Walas conducts meetings and accuses him of "withholding information" from council. Martinello, who was in the armed forces for 20 years before retiring as an airfield engineer, wants "a lot more transparency ... I shouldn't have to fight for things to be brought out in the public." "The more we are open with people, the more they will trust us," he said. "I hope people see me ... as a check on power." The 59-year-old Martinello vowed he will continue to do his utmost "to make sure the best interests of all Brighton citizens are served, not a narrow band of citizens" "I have no vested interests here that would drive

BAN ON BURNING LIFTED IN BRIGHTON JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - The municipality has lifted its burn ban. Fire Chief Rick Caddick cited the recent rainfall as reason for lifting

sure campfires remain small. Permits must be obtained and activated before any burning can take place. Burn permits are available at the Brighton Fire Hall, 20 Elizabeth St.

my decisions either way," he said. His views might be seen as "polarizing, but people are confident" that when he takes a position on issues, he will stand his ground and do all he can to get them resolved. Martinello again insisted Brighton needs a new sewage treatment plant, to accommodate future residential and industrial development. A majority of council thought differently, however, when they voted in June to install a supple-

mentary treatment system instead. There also "should be some effort put into figur-

BRIGHTON PROPERTIES DEFACED

WELCOMING REFUGEES IN NORTHUMBERLAND Offering a safe haven to those forceably displaced from their home country is just the right thing to do. In 2015, after the photo of Alan Kurdi, a three-yearold Syrian boy who was found drown on Sept. 2, 2015, was published, Canadians and countries around the world were moved to respond to the refugee crisis. Northumberland residents have joined those across Canada working hard to bring refugees to a safe place. Hundreds of people in Northumberland have volunteered to help refugees settle and find a new life. Cobourg's Better Together Refugee Sponsorship is just one organization, which has helped bring Syrian refugees to Northumberland. Individual churches and organizations have also helped bring families here. And for good reason â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 2015 was record-breaking in terms of forced displacement of individuals, according to Amnesty International. By the end of 2015, 65.3 million individuals were forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of conflict, persecution, generalized violence and human rights violations, Amnesty International says. In 2016 Canada resettled a record number of 46,700 refugees since the 1978 Immigration Act came into effect, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. However Canada ranked 15th in the world for the number of refugees accepted, according to a 2016 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development report. While Canada and Northumberland have helped bring families to safety, there is still much more we could do. Currently poorer countries are helping majority of the world's refugees with 86 percent escaping to developing regions -- in 2015 the least developed countries in the world were hosting 4.2 million refugees, or 26 percent of the global total, according to Amnesty International. Better Together will bring one more family to Cobourg and then focus on supporting the families who have arrived and settled. Perhaps this is the time when another organization could come forward to help. Some people may believe refugees are taxing the Canadian system but this isn't the case. If we consider people such as Syrian refugee Mohammad Wahbi, we can see how quickly new Canadians can become productive members of society. Wahbi obtained employment just a few months after arriving in Cobourg. As a skilled upholster he is gainfully employed and now contributing taxes. Another example is Mario Pareja who came from Colombia and opened the Cobourg Kia dealership creating more jobs in Cobourg. It simply wrong to consider refugees or newcomers as a burden to Canada. The majority are law abiding, contributing members of society. Northumberland residents should be proud of their contribution in helping refugees. Let's not forget how fortunate we are to live in a safe and peaceful place.

NURSES: RPN, RN OR NP NURSES PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, COLUMNIST WRITES ALICIA VANDINE Column

Most of us have received some type of medical care in Ontario and during this care, we have met a nurse, but did you know that there are different types of nurses practicing in Ontario? Registered practical nurses (RPNs) have a twoyear diploma from a recognized Ontario college and they use their skills to care for patients with straightforward health conditions. RPNs commonly work in hospitals and in the community to provide general care and assistance to a wide variety of patients. If your condition was stable, or nonsevere, you've likely received support and care

from an RPN. A registered nurse (RN) has earned a four-year bachelor's degree in nursing from an Ontario university and must have successfully completed a board exam to practice in this province. This gives our RNs more extensive knowledge in their field and allows them to help patients with more complex health issues. RNs provide care in hospitals, emergency rooms, hospices or clinics. Sometimes RNs even specialize in a field like neonatal, gerontology, palliative or acute and emergency care. If you found yourself or a loved one in one of these departments, you most likely met an RN. So what makes a nurse practitioner (NP) different from an RPN or RN? NPs are RNs with a more advanced university education; they have received a master's degree. They are able to diagnose health problems, prescribe medicine and help their patients manage chronic diseases or control pain. They can also perform physical checkups and treat

fractures and dislocations. NPs can practice in homes, hospitals, within health care teams or in communitybased clinics in smaller towns in Ontario. They work in partnership with physicians and other health care professionals such as social workers, midwives or mental health professionals to keep you or your family well. If you have received care in a small town, you most likely met an NP. Whether in our homes, a checkup at a clinic, or at a hospital, each of these nurses brings their unique skills to the front line of our health-care system by providing assistance to Ontarians of all ages, from newborns to geriatric patients. Our health-care system has its challenges, but I think it is important to remember that no matter what type of nurse we meet, they become your advocate. They also provide invaluable emotional support to provide us with comfort and care while we navigate through the health-care system. Alicia Vandine is a reporter with the Brighton Independent.

BUSINESS

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Campbellford - Dooher's Bakery is in the running to be declared the "Sweetest Bakery in Canada." It was leading the pack when owner Cory Dooher arrived for work last Friday morning but the final outcome won't be known until all the votes are tallied in the contest sponsored by Dawn Food Products, Inc., based in Michigan. Voting began in April and ends online Tuesday, July 31, just before midnight. Mail-in ballots, available at bakeries entered in the contest, must be post marked no later than Aug. 1 and received by Aug. 14 to be valid. A national winner will be declared as well as two regional winners, East and West. The grand prize is worth $10,000 and includes a plaque, advertising and public relations support,

and a celebration party for staff and customers. It was "cool" when "a little bakery in Trent Hills" made it into the Top 20 but when it became the frontrunner it was "overwhelming," said Dooher, who admitted the news left her "a little emotional." "The support has been tremendous ... people are obviously voting for us," she said. "Dooher's Bakery wouldn't be Dooher's Bakery without those people, and my staff are wonderful as well." The bakery employs 25 people full- and part-time, with nearly half being students. "On a Saturday right now we're making over 4,000 doughnuts and they're usually gone by noon," she said. "On Saturdays we can't make them fast enough." Cory's grandparents started the bakery. Her father, Peter Dooher, took over when he turned 20 and he and his wife Chris ran the bakery until Cory took the

reins about four years ago. Cory, who turns 42 in another week, started working in the bakery when she was 14. She's happy being the third generation to operate the family business, although she did consider a career in early childhood education at one point. "It was special for me to keep it going, for dad, and grandma and grandpa. I think about them a lot." "It's pretty amazing," Peter said of the support the bakery is receiving in the contest. At age 66, he continues to "work a bit here and there whenever they get short or they get too busy." The shop sells a wider variety of baked goods than when he started out. They never made bagels, for example, and today "they sell like crazy," Cory said. "Everything is (made) from scratch," with doughnuts being the biggest seller, it's "what we're known for." Also hugely popular are

John Campbell/Metroland Cory Dooher followed her father Peter's footsteps in carrying on the family business which is in the running for the title of "sweetest bakery" in Canada. oatmeal cookies filled with jam, and butter tarts, especially this time of year because of the tourists, Cory said. Mornings are the busiest, and on Saturdays, "we're

lined out the doors, all morning usually." The bakery increases its production by "at least double" for the Saturday crowd in summer, Peter said. "It's been a pretty inter-

esting ride for sure, more ups than downs," he said. "There have been bumps along the way but we always managed to ride them out. "We're a long way from perfect but we try hard." The bakery might not make the prettiest doughnut or muffin "but everything we make is homemade and tastes good. That's been our forte. We make it to satisfy us ... We know what tastes good." Regular customers include people from Belleville, Brighton, Trenton and Peterborough. Barb Heydon is a faithful patron because she already knows "it's the best bakery in Canada." Her favourites are the doughnuts and bagels - and "the chocolate cream pie is to die for." "They're number 1 in my book," said Barbara Yatsula, another regular customer with a fondness for doughnuts. They're "the best," she said.

BRIGHTON'S OWN: THE SHY GIRL WHO SOUGHT ADVENTURE IN AFGHANISTAN COLUMNIST VIC SCHUKOV TELLS A LOCAL WOMAN’S INSPIRING STORY VIC SCHUKOV Column

Gina Gillespie was born in Vancouver and raised in a family with two brothers and two sisters. Her father an Air Force sergeant - was transferred to Trenton when she was two years old. After graduating from ENSS, she joined the Canadian Forces and served for 20 years. At 38, she pursued a bachelor of journalism at Carleton University. While earning her degree, she freelanced for major publications. She is quick to credit the military: "The Canadian Forces instilled in me discipline, leadership, teamwork and planning. I was always a shy person, so it made me be part of a larger community," she says. After graduating, she expanded her freelance network from the Ottawa Citizen and the Globe and Mail, to government publications and various trade magazines. In 2002, Gillespie moved back to Brighton to live with her father, by then a widower. She also enrolled in Loyalist College's photojournalism program. "After Loyalist, I wanted to spend three months in every province, to get to know Canada. I started in B.C., where I camped, house-sat and did some wwoofing," she says. When asked if that meant babysitting dogs, she laughed. "Wwoofing stands for 'willing workers on organic farms.' You stay on a farm in exchange for working. I was all on my own. After three months, I got horribly lonely, so I returned to Brighton, achieving one out of 10 provinces," she says, laughing. With a Romanian international student she befriended at Loyalist, she set

off for a month in her friend's native country. "We did a grassroots tour, meeting the people. When I came back, I went on a vision quest in New Mexico. For four days and nights, I was all by myself in the Gila wilderness - fasting and no communication. I came out wanting to work for the empowerment of women," she says. Then came her biggest adventure of all. "A year later, a friend working in Afghanistan for NATO told me they were looking for journalists. I got hired as an international civilian consultant for the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, on a sixmonth contract. I ended up staying for a total of 7½ years, now as a forward media team leader. My unit was sending teams of three journalists comprised of one international - which was me - and two locals, to each province of Afghanistan. "I insisted on hiring two Afghani women. It was huge at the time. We were the only all-female forward media team working for NATO in Afghanistan. ISAF had its own radio, TV and newspaper aimed at Afghani people to let them know the positive things happening in their country. My team produced stories for them from western Afghanistan. "I lived in military camps and was allowed to accompany their convoys. I also had an Afghan driver who took me to see the real Afghanistan, without the intimidating presence of armoured vehicles and soldiers. With my driver, I was able to meet people face to face. I saw both worlds.

Vic Schukov/Metroland Gina Gillespie shown here in Afghanistan. "One of the main things I try and get across is we don't really know those people. We see extremism on news clips, but when you meet them for any period of time you realize the most important thing for them is relationships. When you go to a store, you first sit and have tea with the proprietor and talk. By the time you get to business, you're friends. "For four years, I lived in Farah Province, in an American military camp, then 3½ years in an Italian camp in Herat Province. I was in places under attack, on numerous occasions. In a Kabul hotel, we hid in the basement during a terrorist attack. During an attack on an Italian base, we hid beneath the dining-room tables, thinking at any second a Taliban could burst in and throw a grenade, or hit by a rocket-propelled grenade."

home in September 2013. "I wanted to write about my experiences but didn't know how to start, so I enrolled in a master of fine arts program in creative non-fiction writing, through Dalhousie University and King's College, in Halifax. I got my book started, graduated, and today it is an ongoing project," she says. Gillespie volunteers at the Supper's Ready program, is a member of the Friends of the Library executive committee and takes tai chi classes on Monday nights. Her favourite thing is attending the Codrington Community Centre breakfast Tuesday mornings.

"My whole family is here, two within walking distance. My younger brother lives in Smithfield, and my older brother lives in Trenton. We weren't always together. Now we are." The once-shy girl has a philosophy she repeats to

herself: "For all that has been - thanks. For all that will be - yes. " Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a longtime journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people. victorschukov@gmail.com

VETERAN JOURNALIST ENTERS MAYORAL RACE IN CRAMAHE TOWNSHIP JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Cramahe Township - If Mandy Martin succeeds in thwarting Mayor Marc Coombs' bid for a fourth term, she'll be able to give a good account of how it happened. The veteran journalist started out as a reporter for the Cobourg Daily Star in 1969 covering council at the tender age of 17. By the time she was 21 Martin was the managing editor of Northumberland Publishers in charge of two daily and three weekly newspapers. She was the youngest managing editor in Canada at the time. Martin went on to work at other jobs, including a nineyear stint with Ontario Hydro in various supervisory roles, but she always returned to her first love, journalism, along the way, serving as newspaper editor of Northumberland Publishers from 1997 to 2005 and then as editorial director from 2005 to 2010 (during which time Martin's employer closed the Colborne Chronicle, to her great regret). Martin has also done extensive volunteer work, serving on the boards of several organizations, including the Northumberland Community Futures Development Corporation, Horizons of Friendship, Northumberland United Way, Northumberland Children's Aid Society, and Big Sisters. She was on the executive of the Colborne Legion for five years. So why has she now de-

cided to add municipal politics to her resume by running for mayor? "It's time for a change in Cramahe Township," Martin said, "in terms of how we think ... (and) how we approach things." The choice she offers residents as mayor is "the right to be heard" and to be given "regular reports of what's going on," locally and at the county level, where onethird of their taxes go and are spent as determined by the heads of municipalities sitting as councillors. "That's where many of the projects are decided," Martin said. "We need more direct plug-in at that level ... (with) regular monthly updates of what is happening at county to the municipal council." She said township decisions are being made without discussion. "That isn't debate," said Martin, who wants council

to be "more inclusive of other options, other opinions" while "thinking about all sides of an issue." Council has "settled into this pattern of this is how it works" but the status quo isn't working because "you're not considering the other possibilities." Martin said south-western Ontario is "too expensive for people with families trying to get into the housing market," so they're looking to places like Cramahe Township where "the price is right." The municipality needs to be better prepared for the population growth that's coming, by looking at "the bigger picture," she said. "Sooner or later that sewage plant has to be upgraded ... The more you delay it the costlier it gets and the options shrinks." The township needs to add capacity to its water and sewage systems to accom-

modate residential and industrial growth, Martin said. "Those are mega-buck projects," but the municipality's response has been "reactive or on an as-needed basis," she said. Martin said she offers voters "a broader perspective" as well as "a very passionate local perspective," because of her work as a volunteer during the 20 years she has lived in Cramahe. She would like to see "respect brought back" in how other council members and members of the public are treated. She favours "regular public outreach and consultation." "There are amazing knowledgeable people quietly beavering away," whose expertise would be invaluable. "We have to start tapping our own resources and celebrating them," Martin said.

BEING TRENT HILLS COUNCILLOR IS SO ENJOYABLE THAT TULLY WANTS TO STAY ON THE JOB JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com TRENT HILLS - They say politics can be a nasty business, but Ken Tully says his time on council has been so nice he wants to continue in the role. It's been "a very positive experience" helping people in Ward 2 and different areas with their concerns and getting them results, he said, "so we've enjoyed that part of it." When he first ran for council, four years ago, Tully vowed to be an able steward of taxpayer dollars, and he believes he, along with council, has lived up to that promise. "Everything we have done has been fiscally responsible for the betterment of Trent Hills," he said. He remains committed to staying available to people and listening to what they have to say. "We've always tried to get back to somebody within 24 hours," he said. Tully also takes pride in preparing for council meetings and knowing what the background information is for the issues on the agenda. "It's been important to ... have our homework done before we go to council," he said. "There's no point going to meetings if you don't know the ins and outs. I have to give staff pretty good

John Campbell/Metroland Ken Tully says he enjoys being councillor for Ward 2 because it's been "a very positive experience," and he hopes to continue in the role for another term. compliments because they've been very responsible in the stuff they put forward (that's) well thoughtout." The service delivery review they did for all seven municipal departments was an invaluable exercise, Tully said. The reviews either confirmed current services are being delivered appropriately or recommended changes, such as using new technology, to serve the people of Trent Hills more efficiently as well as make it easier for staff to perform their jobs, he said. It was "a wash" in terms of trimming costs in some areas and spending more in others, he said, but "overall, it leads to the whole municipality running better than it was before."

Upgrading infrastructure that dates back to the 1950s and ensuring assets such as the municipality's fleet are well looked after "to try to avoid any of those peak catastrophes," will continue to be an important part of council business, Tully said. "Staff has done a great job to try to avoid having any surprises." It doesn't always turn out that way, but Trent Hills is in "good shape to handle most things that can come along," he said. The 72-year-old retired executive continues to be active in the community. He's an ambassador to the Trent Valley Shrine Club, a past president of the Rotary Club of Campbellford, and a member of Warkworth Community Service Club.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION

FOE OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN HASTINGS BALL FIELD THROWS HAT IN THE RING JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Trent Hills - Dennis Forbes challenged council's decision last year to rezone the former ball field in Hastings to make way for a housing development. His appeal triggered an Ontario Municipal Board hearing last September but a decision has yet to be rendered. Forbes won't have to wait as long for an outcome with another challenge he's taken on, to get elected councillor for Ward 3 (Hastings). The municipal election takes place in October. He's running because he believes "there's a need for a greater degree of communication, transparency and accountability between decision makers and taxpayers." In emails and an interview, Forbes said he and the group of residents who sought "an equitable solution to the sale and possible development of the ballpark land" were left with myriad questions that went unanswered. He doesn't want to see that happen again with other decisions council will make over the next four years that elicit opposition. Council members need

John Campbell Dennis Forbes challenged council's decision to rezone a ball field. His newest challenge is to join council's ranks. to demonstrate "unwavering clarity, understanding, patience, and a willingness to listen," he stated. "Of even greater importance, there needs to be a willingness to reconsider ... and to change," Forbes added. "My election will signal the beginning of that change." Forbes, 67, worked as a writer/director for large ad agencies in Toronto before moving to Hastings three years ago. His career not only provided him with "the skill set to work in teams comprised of a wide range of disciplines, personalities and ideas, it instilled a passionate belief and understanding in the importance of reinforcing unity

and building identities." "With all that Trent Hills offers, by way of recreation, opportunity, entertainment and lifestyle, as a community preparing for the future such thinking will prove indispensable." Forbes said he decided to run, "after much to-ing and fro-ing," in order to give voters in Hastings a choice, rather than have their current representative, Mike Metcalf, returned to office by acclamation. Before throwing his hat in the ring, Forbes launched a Facebook group, Politic Talk, a few weeks ago to provide a forum where people can voice concerns and have candidates address them, he said. "It's meant as a twoway conversation, all inclusive of Trent Hills, between taxpayers, residents and candidates," he said. It's "an easily accessible platform" for carrying on a dialogue about different issues in the municipality. Forbes said he also hoped it would encourage other people thinking of running to throw their hat in the ring. Its address is // www.facebook.com/ groups/267507517324321/ about.

TRENT HILLS RESIDENT GETS SUMMER INTERNSHIP AT CCN

northumberlandnews.com

Trent Hills resident Katherine Forestell successfully interviewed for the position of Trent Hills summer assistant in the Campbellford program office. Community Care Northumberland (CCN) was awarded a grant from the Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation through its Job Opportunity for Youth grant program to employ a student who is returning to postsecondary studies in the fall. The Campbellford/Seymour Community Foundation makes grants available for projects both large and small to benefit and enhance life for residents in the Campbellford/Seymour community. As a community foundation, CCN supports worthwhile endeavours across a broad spectrum. Our grant programs provide grants in the following fields of interest: arts and culture, community development, education, environment, health, recreation, social services and youth.

"This has been an opportunity for me to grow as a person, has taught me to be more patient and I am certainly more aware of what some individuals have to live with. Every day I get the chance to appreciate Community Care Northumberland in a different way. I am very grateful for the time I have spent here so far and I look forward to the rest of the summer that I have left working here," Forestell said.

In an effort to address the specific need of youth employment, the board of the community foundation developed a Job Opportunity for Youth grant opportunity. To date, the foundation has invested more than $3.7 million in grants to charitable organizations. "There have been more than 54 summer jobs created in our community, resulting in local students developing their talents, skills and knowledge for future employability," said Martha Murphy, executive director of the Campbellford/ Seymour Community Foundation.

SUNNY DAYS HELPS PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Sunny Days and Mother Nature were in sync last Saturday when the group that offers a day program for adults with disabilities held an open house at its new location on Elizabeth Street. Sunny Days moved to the new site July 1 because it has twice as much space as the previous location. The group organizes various activities for the benefit of adults "with all kinds of special needs,"

such as those related to autism and cerebral palsy, said Deanna Opsteen, a director. "We give them a purpose to their day (as well as) friendship, social connections and ... life skills," she said. It gets them "out and about." The program serves about a dozen members, who come on different days. Sunny Days employs one person full time and three part time, and volunteers. It operates five days a week Monday to Friday, 9

a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The money raised through a Brighton Lions barbecue and the silent auction of more than 100 items at the open house will go toward outings and supplies. The program charges a fee for its services and is supported by donations from individuals and local groups. "I like to thank the community for all its generous, generous support," said Joann Dunkley, another volunteer director. "It helps us a lot."

TRENT HILLS TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

John Campbell/Metroland Yvonne Williams' compelling presentation June 19 persuaded council to declare Sept. 9 Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness Day. $2 billion to the province last year without any of it being directed to awareness, prevention or support, even though adverse outcomes "are reduced significantly with earlier diagnosis, appropriate interventions and accommodations, as well as living in stable home environments." Williams said FASD is called a "hidden disability" because 90 per cent of the people with the disorder get labelled with behavioural issues, and few meet the criteria for obtaining developmental services. Her daughter was "lucky" to receive an intellectual disability diagnosis when she was 17, but the wait for adult services is "another crisis situation." Adults with FASD can have successful lives "but there are too many struggling." The costs for society increase as a result, directly in supportive housing, longterm care, education, law enforcement and health care, and, indirectly, due to disability and premature mortality. A CAMH report pegged the total cost in Canada at $1.8 billion in 2013. More important is "the human cost of the lost potential for these individuals," a cost that doesn't include family and caregivers. Williams said she left fulltime employment to look after her daughter because of "school disruptions and escalating behaviour," and the difficulty they had accessing local services and professionals who understood

FASD. She asked council to declare FASDay because she believes grassroots advocacy is important. It helps our case for support at the provincial and federal levels, Williams said. It will also help expectant mothers understand the risk of drinking alcohol and prevent more children being born with FASD. Williams was wearing red shoes, as part of the Red Shoes Rock movement started five years ago by a Canadian with FASD. They're worn up to Sept. 9 to start the conversation about the disorder. Statistics show that without support, 61 per cent of people with FASD have disrupted school experiences, 60 per cent are charged with or convicted of crimes, 55 per cent are confined in prison, treatment or mental health centres, 49 per cent exhibit inappropriate sexual behaviour on a repeated basis, and 35 per cent have drug or alcohol challenges. Suicide rates are also higher among this population. This is the first year that Ontario will declare FASDay in its 20-year history. FASDay was conceived in 1999 by Bonnie Buxton, who asked: "What if, on the ninth minute of the ninth hour, of the ninth day of the ninth month, we ask the world to remember that during the nine months of pregnancy a woman should remain alcohol free." It was observed in five countries the first year. Last year, 63 countries joined the movement.

Trent Hills - The municipality has joined the Province of Ontario in declaring Sept. 9 as International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness Day or FASDay. Council agreed to do so locally at the request of Warkworth resident, Yvonne Williams, whose adopted daughter has FASD. She explained it's "a range of disabilities that can occur in individuals as a result of alcohol exposure before birth. The severity and symptoms vary, based on how much and when alcohol was consumed, and the body's ability of both the mother and the fetus to break down alcohol." Williams said researchers at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) identified 428 distinct disease conditions that co-occur in people with FASD that "affect nearly every part of the body, including the central nervous system (brain), vision, hearing, cardiac, circulation, digestion, and musculoskeletal and respiratory systems." The Canada FASD Research Network estimates four per cent of Canadians, or 1.5 million, have FASD. That translates to 500,000 in Ontario, 3,400 in Northumberland County and 516 in Trent Hills. "And that's likely a conservative figure," Williams added, "because of the stigma, shame and blame (directed) toward birth mothers," which makes it difficult to obtain accurate figures. "The highest risk group is professional women who binge drink," she said. "FASD remains the leading known cause of developmental disabilities, the least recognized, most often misdiagnosed and under diagnosed," she continued. It's "virtually unknown and is grossly underfunded and supported compared to other disabilities." The companies that make the product that cause FASD "remain unaccountable," said Williams, who noted the LCBO transferred more than

Brighton - Having served one year as deputy mayor by way of appointment during her first term on council, Laura Vink now hopes to be elected to the role. "I've learned a lot over the last four years," Vink said, "and I love working with council, working with staff, working with (the) community on committees. I just really enjoy it." She decided to run for deputy mayor based on her experience with the position. "I enjoyed many aspects of it," she said, although being "a reserved person," she's not one for the limelight, so filling in for the mayor when he can't attend an event "can be a stretch." But "it's all part of it," Vink said, and "I felt it was the role for me this time around." She worked as a financial administrator for a charity for 14 years before starting her own bookkeeping business, so she welcomed the opportunity to chair budget meetings while deputy mayor. "It's something I do understand and it is a very integral part of what we do," she said. "Those are big decisions that we're making and I do enjoy being a part of it." Looking at the next term, "definitely we need a strategic plan right out of the gate," she said. "We need to get a handle on what things are most important ... That's what I'd like to see happening first." Modernizing facilities, such as the new stage being built in Memorial Park, is part of an ongoing effort to make sure "people stay in Brighton for shopping and
