Brighton has a new deputy mayor BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — As of Friday, Dec. 1, Roger McMurray will be Brighton’s new deputy mayor. At its latest meeting, council appointed McMurray to the position, but it did take some time for council to come to a unanimous decision. Initially council couldn’t agree on a candidate and took two stabs at the appointment, prior to achieving success with McMurray. First up, Coun. Mary Tadman nominated Laura Vink, who has filled the position for the last year. “She’s done a very good job,” said Tadman, as she put forward Vink’s name and expressed her desire to see Vink stay as the deputy mayor for the remainder of the council term. Mayor Mark Walas supported Tadman’s nomination and also commended Vink for her work as deputy mayor, as well as her willingness to continue on with the role, despite it being, at times, a somewhat challenging period for council. Vink has served in the position since Dec. 1, 2016. Tadman’s motion to appoint Vink for the remainder of the council term was defeated by a majority of council. Both Brian Ostrander and Roger McMurray’s names were subsequently tossed into the ring. Coun. Steven Baker put forward McMurray’s name, saying he’s stepped up in place of the mayor before and represented the community well on a number of occasions. He puts a good face forward both in Brighton and outside the community, said Baker. McMurray initially declined the offer for the role, but thanked Baker for his kind words and the nomination. McMurray said his eyesight was not up to snuff for the job, so he must respectfully decline. Coun. John Martinello nominated Ostrander, who previously served in the role. Martinello’s motion was also defeated. Council’s discussion then took what some might say was an interesting turn, as Martinello was prepared to toss out a motion that there be no deputy mayor for the remainder of the council term. It’s not really a requirement, he said. “I honestly don’t think that generally the deputy mayor adds much value to this operation,” he said. Walas immediately thereafter questioned if Martinello believed this, why he would push to have the position put on the ballot for 2018. Council just recently passed a bylaw for the composi-

McMurray agreed, but said he might need a little help with his eyes and a unanimous council finally approved a candidate. McMurray thanked council for its confidence in him and hopes he can meet the expectations, he said, as the motion for his appointment passed. The long-standing practice of Brighton council has been to appoint a new deputy mayor in November of each year, so councillors rotate the role. It was only earlier this year that a majority of council voted to change this and suggested the position be put on the 2018 ballot. This means rather than six council-

lors, five will be elected, along with the deputy mayor in the coming election. Martinello and McMurray were the initial drivers behind the change and were later backed by a majority who believe the position is important enough that ratepayers should now make the decision. Under the municipality’s bylaw, the deputy mayor acts in place of the mayor when the mayor is absent, refuses to act or the office is vacant. The deputy mayor, in these instances, assumes all the powers and responsibilities of the mayor. Brighton’s deputy mayor also chairs the budget meetings.

Martinello said he didn’t quite understand the mayor’s question and maintains that the value will be added to the position, when the ratepayers elect the deputy mayor. It was right about this time, Baker asked if McMurray would reconsider assuming the role.

Council pushing to re-establish lab services in Brighton BY SARAH HYATT

Brighton — There may be hope for the thousands of Brightonians currently travelling to access labs and blood work services. Accessibility to community labs is a growing issue, says Paul Huras, chief executive officer for the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). Huras recently visited with Brighton council to speak about local access to labs, following a request from Mayor Mark Walas. “We have heard from a number of concerned residents, once the service was discontinued,” said Walas. During the CEO’s visit, residents heard the LHIN really has little to do with or “little responsibility” for community labs. And that’s because, most community labs in the province are currently handled by the private sector. “By our estimates, about 4,000 people today are either travelling to Cobourg or Trenton for services from private labs,” said Huras. Brighton hasn’t had local access to such services since 2015. Accessibility is becoming a growing issue and so, people may see some changes in the near future, said Huras. The CEO reports more and more primary care providers and doctors are continuing to raise access to labs as a key issue that needs to be addressed. Communities like Brighton are also speaking up. In the past, independent health facilities, again, outside the LHIN, have often provided lab services. Such facilities are now slated to become part of the LHIN in the near future, but they won’t provide laboratory services. The government is changing the independent health facilities, so that they won’t be providing lab

services and the labs and genetics branch will take that on, said Huras. That branch will look at certain criteria when considering a community lab and whether a population is underserviced and also at the distance between accessible services, said Huras. The definition of underserviced and how exactly that’s measured could not be clarified during the CEO’s visit. For now, Brighton residents remain having to travel, but recognizing that’s “not ideal,” Huras did leave council with a few options for consideration. The largest obstacle for Brighton appears to be the numbers or at least it has been in the past. There is a certain threshold volume that needs to be met for the community labs and to provide those services, said Huras. Once the lab and genetics branch is up and running, the CEO said Brighton should seek assistance and clarification on how to get community services. In the interim, Huras suggested the town approach a labs service provider, to see whether getting local access is possible, even if it means the provider can only come one day a week. Brighton would have to commit the space, but it doesn’t have to be within an existing medical site, said Huras. This has taken place in many small and rural communities across the province, he said. If the threshold can be met, labs will consider it, he added. While some councillors like John Martinello recalled looking into options like this about two years ago and it not panning out, because the threshold couldn’t be met, Huras has encouraged the town to not give up. Council has taken the information provided by Huras and asked staff to investigate further and bring back a report.

old Niagara News. All of the publications were bought as part of the transaction between Torstar and Postmedia. The closure of the newspapers, which is effective immediately, will affect 46 fulltime and part-time employees. The employees will receive severance packages. The decision by Metroland Media to close the newspapers was made after a careful review of the financial performance and Metroland Media’s future projections for all the publications acquired from Postmedia. Metroland Media concluded the only realistic option was to close the affected papers due to their falling advertising revenues and Metroland’s projections of their future performance. The newspaper industry in Canada is facing challenging times due to declines in recent years in print advertising revenues and the fact that newspapers are now facing increased competition for digital advertising dollars from international giants such as Google and Facebook. Because of that, Metroland Media is seeking synergies and cost reductions where possible. By acquiring publications within or adjacent to Metroland Media’s primary areas and selling publications outside its primary areas the company will be able to place a greater focus on regions where it believes it can be more effective in serving both customers and clients. This will help allow the company to develop more digital content as well as enhance the operations of the four new daily newspapers that it will continue operating after the purchase from Postmedia.

Metroland Media Group Ltd. announced Nov. 27 it will continue publication of four daily newspapers and cease publication of the print and online editions of three other daily newspapers and eight community newspapers purchased from Postmedia Network Inc. The four newspapers formerly owned by Postmedia that will now be published by Metroland Media are the St. Catharines Standard, Niagara Falls Review, Welland Tribune and Peterborough Examiner. A total of approximately 60 employees work at the four newspapers, which will continue to publish on their current daily schedules. Metroland Media Group Ltd., a subsidiary of Torstar Corporation, purchased the publications Nov. 27 from Postmedia Network Inc. as part of a transaction between Torstar and Postmedia that involved a number of community and daily newspapers, mainly in Ontario. Metroland Media will continue to operate the daily newspapers in St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Welland and Peterborough with the aim of improving efficiencies through increased geographic synergies within Metroland Media’s primary areas. The daily publications that will close are the Barrie Examiner, Orillia Packet & Times and Northumberland Today. Each of them has a relatively small circulation base. The eight community newspapers that will close are the Bradford Times, Collingwood Enterprise Bulletin, Fort Erie Times, Innisfil Examiner, Niagara Advance, Pelham News, Inport News (Port Colborne) and the Thor-

Trent Hills, county coordinate response to violent weather event BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – It wasn’t Black Friday but a dark day for the town nonetheless when it was struck by a major wind event on Nov. 24 that damaged buildings, injured people, knocked out power, and toppled trees. Campbellford District High School was quickly turned into an evacuation shelter for more than 100 people who had been forced from their home by the microburst, a violent localized downdraft that touched down around 8:45 a.m. And staff on Campbellford Memorial Hospital were immediately put on Code Orange alert when word was received to expect a steady stream of storm victims to the emergency department. So how well did the authorities – police, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, nurses, municipal staff and numerous agencies – respond to the calamity? “Overall, good,” said Ken Stubbings, Northumberland County’s health and safety/emergency risk manager, who put together the scenario and oversaw the exercise that tested the response plans of all those involved. “We do these things to learn lessons,” he said after the exercise wound up mid-Friday afternoon. “There’s always that learning curve for things we can do better.” “Everybody definitely responded the way they were supposed to ... as usual.” The county and Trent Hills worked with numerous community partners, including the Red Cross, St. John Ambulance, Salvation Army, the school board and OCEAP (Ontario Community Emergency Assistance Program), in conducting the exercise, which involved both mock table top scenarios and live role playing. “The exercise is really important because it will demonstrate to us whether we would be capable of dealing with any disaster that happens in our area,” said Varouj Eskedjian, president/CEO of Campbellford Memorial Hospital. A late morning press conference was even staged with Mayor Bob Crate and Northumberland OPP media relations officer Constable Steve Bates updating newspaper, television and radio reporters on what had taken place. Bates said a man had been pinned by a tree in Ferris Provincial Park and two people who had gone missing were the subject of a search. The detachment office had been among those buildings damaged by the severe wind event. Crate reported residents at Burnbrae Gardens and Island Park Retirement Residence and children at Beehive Day Care Centre had to be evacuated to the high school

because those places had been struck as well. Stubbings said it marked the first time the high school had been used as an evacuation centre. There were no classes as it was a PA day. About 260 people took part in the staged event, including 60 or so volunteers portraying victims. Kristian Peterson was one of 10 Durham College paramedic students who were participants to learn how a mass casualty situation would be handled. In her role as a victim she had been hit by a falling tree branch and had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment of a wound that was realistically made to look as if her intestines were spilling out. John Austin, station chief for the fire hall in Hastings, said Trent Hills has been “getting hit with microbursts quite frequently in the last few years and they can do just as much damage as a full-blown tornado.” “Practice, practice, practice makes it easier (to respond when) the real deal (happens).”

Ultramar expansion will require it be torn down first BY JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com

Cramahe Township — A new gas bar is being built at 301 Big Apple Dr. — but only after the current Ultramar is town down. The owner of the Ultramar plans to tear it down, as well as the convenience store and car wash, to make way for a new gas bar and a new building that will house both a convenience store and a restaurant. Township planning co-ordinator Himanshu Katyal said in a report to council on Nov. 21 that the owner, Bobby Bhopal, first submitted a site plan in 2010 and has since then submitted “a number of revised site plans and other documents.” He said the latest site plan, along with a storm water management report, satisfies all the conditions that the township requires be met, and on his recommendation council authorized the mayor and chief administrative officer to enter into a site plan agreement with the owner. “It's all good news, I think everybody's waiting for that to happen,” Mayor Marc Coombs said. The township hasn't been told what sort of restaurant will be going into the new building. It will occupy 109 square metres (1,174 square feet). Most

of the space will be taken up by the 245-squaremetre convenience store (2,641 square feet). “It's going to be a very attractive station,” Coombs said. Township pays outstanding bill An invoice for $44,740 for work done six years ago has finally been paid by the township. The township had balked at paying the bill because of “deficiencies” that became apparent after a new water main and sidewalks were installed as part of the Big Apple reconstruction project that Cramahe and Northumberland County jointly undertook in 2011. The deficiencies had to do with a pressure reducing valve that had been installed, chief administrative officer Craig Brooks said in a report. That led to “a dispute between the municipality and the contractor that installed the water system,” he told council. “After several meetings and site meetings, work was done on the part of the engineering group to modify the pressure reducing valve so that the water system functioned as it was designed to,” he wrote. However, as it took two years to rectify the problem, the invoice had been left unpaid.

Council rejects second condominium project SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — It looks like condos won’t be coming to Brighton any time soon. A majority of council has decided against the Proctor Park Condominiums application to amend Brighton’s official plan. This is the second time in recent months council has gone against staff recommendations and rejected condo development, siding with residents who’ve expressed concerns with the projects. “I think it makes absolutely no sense if we go forward with this and I won’t be supporting it,” said Coun. John Martinello, prior to the 3-1 vote that ended in favour of not approving the application. After hearing from residents with concerns about the location of the development, Martinello, Coun. Brian Ostrander and Deputy Mayor Laura Vink cast their votes against the application. Mayor Mark Walas, as a principal and shareholder of the numbered company proposing the development, Coun. Steven Baker, due to the proximity of his home and Coun. Roger McMurray, who has a relative in the area of Young Street, each declared a conflict of interest and did not cast a vote. Coun. Mary Tadman stood alone in favour of the application and the project going ahead. “I think there’s a great need for it,” she said. “The developer in question met all of the criteria to get that amended and the planner agreed, so I chose to go forward with it.” With the professionals signing off on the application and after considering about 150 pages worth of documentation, Tadman couldn’t see any reason to argue, as a number of residents’ concerns would’ve been tackled during the site plan agreement or up to the developer to rectify

during that portion of the planning process, she said. Stephen Ashton, Brighton’s manager of planning, building and community development recommended approval to amend the official plan, as well as thereafter, approval of a zoning bylaw amendment, subject to the developer entering into a site plan agreement. He also recommended the developer contribute a cash payment toward sidewalk construction and a detailed water main assessment be completed. Findings of a number of investigations, engineering studies and peer review reports were also attached within the manager’s report. At this stage, it’s about acknowledging whether the proposal is technically feasible, said Ashton. The details are usually further reviewed and nailed down during the site plan process, he said. Concerns raised by residents have surrounded issues like privacy, parking, traffic, pedestrian safety, property values, water and drainage, and even snow removal. For both staff and Tadman, at least some of these concerns would have been ironed out in the site plan process. A review of drainage in the area would have also been completed. Still, several others don’t favour the idea of waking up to a “40-foot-wall” in their backyard. More than a few say they are in favour of condos, but squeezing such a large development into the middle of such a small area and in the middle of mostly single-family homes is “inappropriate” and out of character with the neighbourhood. There are “too many problems that can’t be fixed,” said Mary Gibb, a neighbouring resident in opposition of the project. Martinello said he cast his vote after listening carefully to the concerns of people in the neighbourhood of the proposed development and considering the town’s “many unresolved stormwater

drainage issues.” It came down to location for both Ostrander and Vink. Placing these types of buildings essentially in the backyards of people’s homes, “I just can’t support it,” said Ostrander. Under a different scenario or in a different location, Ostrander said he would’ve likely supported the application going ahead. Vink echoed a similar sentiment, saying condos are not the issue — it’s the placement. Once these buildings are there, these structures will stay for a long, long time, she said. A total of four residents attended the latest planning meeting and voiced opposition to the development. But, it should be noted, this was not the first time residents have voiced concerns

or their opposition to the project and others have attended previous meetings to make those concerns heard. A petition against the development with nearly 30 signatures was included in staff’s latest report. That said, so was a townwide petition, which included more than 100 signatures in support of condominium development near the centre of town. When Tadman made her decision, she said she was trying to look at what’s best for all of Brighton. This condo development would have been fully accessible also and “that’s important to me,” she said. The developer can still make an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board.

When Harry Keating was five years old, his mother used to say, “If a stranger showed up at the door and said there is a boat leaving for China at midnight, be at the dock, Harry would be the first person to board that boat. He has this wander lust about him.” And as mothers usually are, she was spot on: Born in Marmora, Keating left home after finishing high school. He worked in Toronto until age 24, then he bought a motorcycle and decided to see the USA. He made it as far as Nebraska before having am accident. Then he caught a bus to Mexico where he backpacked for a while before returning home long enough to load up a truck and drive to Peru. At 26, he spent three months living on the banks of the Amazon River. He flew home to find a letter from friends inviting him to visit them for a few days on Vancouver Island. After wandering the town of Port Hardy, he found a job as a bookkeeper and stayed for seven years. Then it was back to Marmora, then working for Canadian National Railways in Montreal for five years, and finally Toronto before retiring to Brighton four years ago. Before that, he drove through all of the provinces and 44 states. Through all this time, Keating read a hundred books a year, and wrote columns and book reviews for newspapers in Marmora, Toronto, and even the Brighton Independent (for a year.) “I was very impressed with the library here,” said Keating. “I came here after my wife Kaye passed away. I have a sister in Brighton, and growing up in Marmora I am familiar with the county. Kaye and I came here regularly to visit.” A year before arriving here, he was inspired to start to work on his memoirs. “I went to the funeral of a gentleman who flew Spitfires in World War II. And another man was a survivor of the bridge on the River Kwai. These are people I would have loved to have talked to about their experiences but they are gone. I think people’s eulogies should be published while they are still alive so we can know about them. I decided to write my book so people would know about events in my life.” Three pivotal, almost symmetrical, experiences underscore his autobiography My Life After Near-Death: “In Chicago, I was accosted by two men with switchblades. I gave them my money and then the leader said, ‘Kill him.’ At that point I started fighting and they fled,” said Keating. “In Peru, while having a picture taken of me on the highest mountain peak, I almost fell off. And seven years ago while my wife was consumed by cancer, I fell into a deep depression and

contemplated suicide.” His full life, in between the trifecta of crises, has tempered his philosophy: “You have to live life every day as if it’s your last day on Earth. I also learned that if you love somebody, tell them now because you may not have that chance later on. I let people know how I feel about them. It’s not how

much money you have. It’s how many memories you have.” His book My Life After NearDeath a memoir is available in the Brighton Library,

Incident evacuates grocery store Campbellford – Police, fire and ambulance here responded to a situation earlier this week when a troubled man climbed above a store rooftop and set a fire, forcing the evacuation of the business. Monday evening, Nov. 20, officers from the Northumberland detachment of the OPP were called to Sharpe’s Food Market in Campbellford where a 39 year old local man had “reportedly set fire to personal belongings he had brought with him in a backpack. This caused the business below to be evacuated as a precaution,” said a statement from police. Police, EMS and Trent Hills fire department attended the scene. “The responding officers

joined the man on the roof and began negotiations, eventually leading him to another area of the roof while firefighters extinguished the three foot high fire,” said police. A crisis negotiator from the OPP’s Emergency Response Team was called in “and joined the officers on the roof who were still in conversation with the male. After one and a half hours, the male was successfully removed from the roof top without injuries using a fire truck bucket. He was then transported to a nearby hospital for assessment and treatment.” Police said there was no damage to the store roof, nor was anyone injured in the incident.

Santa comes a-calling and Cramahe Township turns out to greet him BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Colborne – There’s nothing ho-ho-ho-hum about Santa Claus coming to town. That was evident by the joy on children’s faces Saturday night when the jolly gent paid Colborne a visit and stayed around to hand out candy at the gazebo in Victoria Square. “It just amazes me the people who come out,” said parade organizer Tracey Loveless, who was happy that the early morning rain had ended hours earlier and that the night was cool but not cold. She and Nancy Heighton have headed up Santa’s welcoming committee since 2007. Problems can pop up when organizing a parade but it all seems to work out in the end, “because I have very good helpers,” including longtime parade volunteer, Bob Rusk, Loveless said. “I really appreciate everybody’s help and I appreciate the people who put out the effort (to be) in the parade because if we don’t have our participants, we don’t have a parade.” It’s those who enter floats, play in a band or take part in some other way who “make it grand,” Loveless said. She and Heighton largely follow the template set by the Colborne Kinsmen and her mother, Rose Nelson, when they were in charge of the parade. “You tweak it here and there but other than that it’s the same,” Loveless said. The one tweak this year was the Colborne Lions serving hot chocolate in Victoria Square. The bags of candy the children received from Santa were supplied by Voskamp Construction. There were 31 entries in the parade, including four bands. Prizes were awarded for: best entry overall – Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre; entry best depicting the parade’s theme of a Canadian Christmas – Jebco Manufacturing; best indus-

will pass. Watson has suggested there are some other issues “circulating around this” that may also be worth council talking to the solicitor about. Council made its request, while also acknowledging the increasing legal costs associated with the matter. Watson said plainly at the meeting that he’d already stopped adding in staff’s time to the total costs. A visit with the solicitor costs about $1,200 to $1,500, Watson told a concern citizen who spoke after the November meeting and inquired about the costs.

Brighton — It looks like a hearing date has finally been set for the latest appeal related to the Lakeside Landing subdivision. Chief administrative officer Bill Watson has confirmed the municipality will defend council’s decision to require the use of a conventional gravity sewer system for the development, come March 19, 2018. The Environment and Land Tribunals Ontario website also shows the hearing scheduled for that day, with a start time of 10:30 a.m. at the Brighton council chambers. The municipality was notified back in May that a second decision of council’s concerning the subdivision had been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Unlike the previous hearing related to the development, where the developer was not a party to the proceedings, this appeal has been filed by the proponent. The 2016 appeal related to the development was against the municipality and was filed by four individual residents. As stated in previous Brighton Independent articles, the appeal was filed following council’s endorsement of staff’s recommendation to require the use of a conventional gravity sewer system for the development. The developer’s lawyer has stated in correspondence that the municipality refuses to accept the technical explanations for the proposed lowpressure sewer system. Under the OMB E-Calendar, it looks like the hearing will take one day. Also, as of the latest November council meeting, there’s still no word whether Brighton will be able to recoup any costs following the 2016 appeal. Councillors have heard the board has yet to make to a ruling on an apportionment of costs and there’s been no response from the developer, following a request for funds to be reimbursed. A letter was previously sent to the numbered company developing the subdivision, requesting about $51,286 be reimbursed to the municipality. As outlined above, the developer was not a party to the proceedings of the appeal; but, the letter suggests the developer should still pay, because when the municipality defended its zoning bylaw, this was in favour of the development. “Since your development is the main beneficiary of the successful defence against the appeal, the council of the Municipality of Brighton

requests that 952849 Ontario Ltd. reimburse the municipality for these expenses,” the letter reads. For those who may be unaware, Mayor Mark Walas is a principal and shareholder of the numbered company and development. With no response received by the November meeting, council has now directed staff to set up another meeting with the municipal solicitor. While initially council was looking at sending out another letter to the developer, some expressed concern this likely wouldn’t accomplish much, and in the meantime, more time

BIA board no longer dormant, volunteers step up to fill vacant spots BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Campbellford – The board of management for the Business Improvement Area (BIA) is back in business. Council this week appointed six people to the board which had ceased to exist following a mass resignation by members last May. Their leaving was prompted by comments made by the late mayor, Hector Macmillan, which they interpreted as questioning their commitment to revitalization of the downtown. He said it had all been a “misunderstanding.” Council responded to the resignations by declaring the BIA dormant and appointing itself the interim board, giving the downtown business community time to regroup and resume activity at some point. Speaking at council’s Nov. 21 meeting, Deputy Mayor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan said a special meeting of the BIA membership had been held the previous week and a halfdozen people had stepped forward to say they would be willing to serve on a new board. Three of them – Caroline Bingley, Dawn Wannamaker and Margaret Stapley – had been among those who had resigned. The new members are Barbara Dankmeyer, Adrianne Towns and Wayne Matheson. Another meeting will be held Nov. 27 to elect the executive. Bingley, former president of the board, said she and the others decided to return because there were projects they feared would fall to the wayside which they wanted to see through. Downtown revitalization and the new look being given to the vacant lot at the corner of Bridge and Front streets were two she said where the BIA had laid “a good foundation” for their completion. “We’re hoping for a bright new future for our downtown,” Bingley said. “We have lots of enthusiasm and lots of positive people who want to see change and we’re going to try to make that happen.” Council approved the Connecting Downtown Campbellford revitalization final plan that is intended to improve the economic, physical and social well-being of the town’s main business district. A strategic pan was created that set six goals, such as making downtown Campbellford “an investment destination for outside investors and existing businesses,” a four-season “memorable tourism destination with authentic local experiences,” and “a thriving waterfront community with visual appeal and deep civic pride.” The municipality will be applying for Rural Economic Development funding from the province to support the hiring of a coordinator to oversee the next phase of the project. 18 Brighton Independent - Thursday, November 30, 2017

JOHN CAMPBELL

Cramahe Township — A background study presented to council this week proposes a $1,000 increase in development charges for new single family dwellings. The “justified amount” established in 2013, based on a number of factors, was $9,604. A report prepared by Clark Consulting recommends it be raised to $10,565. It also proposes water and sewer charges be increased to $6,316 (currently they are $4,686). Consultants Bob Clark and Hugh Stewart further recommended the township set a development charge of $8,414 on green energy projects, including solar arrays and wind turbines that generate more than 100 kilowatts of electricity, an increase of $1,190. The basic principles of development charges are that “existing residents should not be paying a disproportionate amount for growth-related costs,” and that “growth must pay its fair share,” Clark told council on Nov. 21. “We're looking at a much higher rate of growth” than when the development charges in place now were set in 2013, Stewart said. He told council it has the option “to accept the justified amount or less than that,” which municipalities choose to do “in many cases.” “We've always gone lower than the proposed amount,” Coun. Ed Van Egmond said. “It's very important to remain competitive” with other municipalities in Northumberland County. Cramahe will grow in the next 10 years, but “I worry for that growth ... with the high amount showing here,” Van Egmond said.

“This is a common discussion (among councils),” Clark said. It's their decision to make, but he also pointed out that “if you don't seek out revenues through this process, then the responsibility for that revenue will fall to someone else, usually that's your existing ratepayers,” he said. “It's a balancing act.” Figures included in the $8,500 study show Port Hope's development charges for new houses currently are the highest at $18,938, followed by Cobourg at $17,094. Cramahe would be next, if it went ahead with $10,565. The fees for the other municipalities are: Alnwick-Haldimand Township, $9,015 plus water; Brighton, $8,283 (serviced), $5,442 (unserviced); Hamilton Township, $6,101; and Trent Hills, $5,600. “There was a time we were begging for houses to be built and now the pendulum has swung,” Mayor Marc Coombs said, referring to subdivision proposals submitted to council adding up to several hundred homes. “The landscape has changed and now we're going to have all kinds of homes and commercial and industrial development coming,” he said. “We've got to really make sure we get ahead of the curve on this because there is going to be a lot of infrastructure requirements moving forward.” The public will have an opportunity to comment on the development charges bylaw in January. Although the existing bylaw doesn't expire until December 2018, council will replace it “as soon as possible” to have the new development charges in place, Coombs said, when building permits are sought for all the new housing construction.

Brightonians support needed for Hospice Care Centre SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com

Brighton — Residents here will be needed to help with the Northumberland Hospice Care Centre. “We do hope by the first of April 2019, our doors will be open and we will be accepting people,” said Sherry Gibson, as she visited with Brighton council recently to talk about the Community Care Northumberland (CCN) six-bed hospice project. Gibson is the hospice project lead and the regional volunteer development and special projects co-ordinator for CCN. She and Stewart Richardson, the hospice building committee chair have been touring Northumberland recently, providing “educational” project updates. And this won’t be the last time the community hears from the project lead. Gibson will return to council in coming weeks, with a one-time funding request. Advocates of the Hamilton Township-based hospice will be asking all of Northumberland to help with construction costs, as the project is designed to meet a regional need. Gibson will be calling on local residents for “more volunteer support” later. “This building will allow us an opportunity for a new kind of care for the communities we serve,” said Gibson, as she walked council and residents through CCN’s vision for the hospice. Several hospice supporters were also in the audience for the presentation. “Hospice palliative care is aimed at relieving suffering and improving quality of life for people living with or dying from an advanced illness …” said Gibson. “This hospice care centre

will be another option for people.” Much like others, the Northumberland hospice will be fuelled by an interdisciplinary team, providing 24hour care and at no cost to people and their families. This will be a “full-service facility,” which encompasses care for the whole family, from the time of diagnosis and on, said Gibson. Among some of the key highlights made, was that this centre will merge clinical care and outreach services. In other words, the hospice will be a place where people can turn for support, education and bereavement services. As for the building, CCN will be keeping with the traditional homelike setting, as much as possible. Plans include lots of green-space and gardens, as well as family and caregiver support rooms. A dining lounge area, resident spa room, kids play area and a spiritual room for all the faiths are also part of the design. Gibson envisions the common areas as a place where families can congregate and “just be families,” as they work through the process of letting a loved one go. The building committee formed in April looked at eight Ontario hospices, before deciding on the Ontario Street site in Hamilton Township. Those tours provided insight into some of the best practices and also some ideas as to what not to do, said Richardson. The concept design has since gone very well and a functional model for care plans is now in place, he added. Richardson also confirmed the offer for the 1.5 acres has been accepted, as well as severance and zoning changes approved.

Sports Stars split two games, but hold on sixth place remains firm BY JOHN CAMPBELL

Colborne – That isn’t supposed to happen: lose to a team that’s well below in the standings. But that was the case when the Northumberland Stars travelled to Tottenham last Saturday and lost to the Steam 5-3, despite outshooting the home team 40-30. A hat trick by Viacheslav Chegrintcev, the game’s first star, and a 37-save performance by Sam Procopio moved the Steam to within 10

points of the Stars who hold down sixth spot in the South Division of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League. Down 5-0, Northumberland mounted a furious comeback in the third period. Tyler McGregor put the Stars on the scoreboard with a power play marker at 7:54 and Malik Henry score twice to draw his team within two goals of the Steam with more than three minutes to play. But the Stars couldn’t pull even and saw their record drop to 10-5-4.

Support needed for Hospice Care Centre From page 21

The appeal process has officially passed, which means it’s onto environmental assessments, soil testing and finalizing the project budget. The capital campaign kicked off on Nov. 29. “ … We feel very confident we can raise the money to build this hospice,” said Richardson. The chair reports an assessment completed earlier indicates Northumberland communities will support the project.

The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care will provide some funding. The province has committed $105,000 per bed for operational costs, though this does still leave the hospice short, with costs anticipated around $145-$160,000, said Gibson. CCN is also hoping for provincial assistance with capital funding, at around $200,000 per bed, but there’s been no official announcement yet, said the project lead.

PET OF THE WEEK!

Their 10th win was recorded a day earlier, Nov. 24, at the Keeler Centre when Northumberland dispatched the last-place London Lakers 11-4. Benjamin Crowchild, McGregor, Tyler Brackin and Evan Waslyk each scored twice while Owen Walsh, James Robert, and Marat Kadrmetov added a goal apiece. Robert, McGregor and Marat also collected two assists

Rocia Naturals adds to Brighton’s downtown beauty als were Sherry Hamilton, manager for the Brighton-Cramahe Chamber of Commerce, Sandy Pasko, president for the Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA) and Wayne Jefferson, DBIA treasurer. Mayor Mark Walas also stopped by and offered congratulations on behalf of the town and NorthumberlandQuinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, who couldn’t attend the event. “We’re very pleased to have you up on the Main Street,” Walas told the owners. “Thank you for your continued investment in Brighton.” As for what’s next, owners say patrons can look forward to Christmas baskets and more pro-aging products in the new year. A big focus will continue on meeting the needs of a more mature market, said Maybee. The owners are also looking at hosting some workshops in 2018.

Brighton – Brighton’s downtown is expanding with a unique and awardwinning organic beauty brand. On Saturday, Nov. 25, Rocia Naturals co-founders and owners Sue O’Ray and Jacqui Maybee, alongside many others, celebrated the grand opening of their retail store on Main Street. “There is nothing quite like our store in this area,” said O’Ray. “We only carry our own product-line and because we formulate ourselves, we know exactly what is in every product, why each ingredient is included and how to use them effectively.” Originally founded in 2010, Rocia Naturals is described as a familyowned and operated manufacturer of high-quality organic skincare, bodycare and cosmetic products. The brand is said to have gained national attention after being featured in the Globe and Mail, as a beauty line ‘you should know about’ and also won top honours as the best skincare line in Canada at the 2012 Natural Health Awards. Rocia products are never tested on animals; contain no synthetic ingredients, harsh preservatives, parabens, phthalates or colorants and are vegan-friendly. Products are also found at select boutiques and spas throughout Canada. Rocia Naturals relocated its manufacturing operation and first came to Brighton in 2015. At first, the owners decided to open a small showroom in their industrial park facility. “The amount of traffic we were getting at the showroom, we weren’t expecting that,” said Maybee. As the demand for products increased, it made sense to look at creating a space just for Brightonians and so customers could have better access to products, said Maybee. This is the duo’s first “strictly retail project,” which is 100 per cent geared to customers’ needs. Located at 45

Main St., the new space will better serve customers, as the big focus is to provide a “premium shopping experience.” “Our customers love the added touch of dealing directly with us and not a sales person…” said O’Ray. The space also features a private boutique-type area, where residents can test products. Working with customers on a more intimate level and further improving those close-working relationships with people is one of things owners are looking forward to doing with their new space, said Maybee. “We do listen to our customers,” Maybee added. “That’s why we do things like custom blends and we’re really hands-on with people and I think they appreciate that…it certainly

makes what we do unique.” For their grand-opening event, owners invited the community to celebrate the new space, with a no-tax sale on products and held draws throughout the day, offering free products to shoppers. The duo also unveiled a brand-new look for products last Saturday, which includes bilingual packaging, as online customers continue to grow, too, and so products can now be sold in Quebec. So far, the response to the new store has been “overwhelmingly positive,” both from the community and other downtown businesses, said Maybee. A number of individuals and representatives from various groups stopped by last Saturday to officially welcome Rocia Naturals to the downtown. A few of those individu-
