Toxic substance destroys good bacteria
News - Brighton - Brighton’s wastewater treatment system has some issues, the latest being what environmental services manager Catherine Chisholm calls a “toxic substance.” Several exceedances of e-coli, ammonia and phosphorus over the past few years has Brighton facing charges from the Ministry of the Environment, and has staff working hard to solve the issues. “There have been seasonal exceedances of ammonia levels in wastewater effluent since 2008,” Chisholm said. She told council on December 15 that the biodomes installed seemed to be doing the job until the summer months when all the good bacteria was killed off by an unknown substance, and she asked council to pass a bylaw to enable staff to check sewer pipes at property lines to see if they can find the culprit. Councillor Steve Baker recommended speaking with Ontario Parks as it seemed likely that substance could be coming from Presqu’ile Provincial Park. The park was hooked up to Brighton’s sewage system in 2012, with trailers and RVs regularly dumping waste into the system from the end of May into October. Chisholm told Baker that she does not have confirmation of where the substance is coming from and didn’t want to point fingers at anyone until it can be determined exactly where the substance is coming from. Council approved moving forward with a bylaw to allow property line testing. A report from R.V. Anderson recommended a $2.5-million solution of enhanced aeration and a secondary clarifier. Chisholm said that the system needs to be upgraded and recommended the Anderson proposal because it: considers the impact of the unknown toxic substance, is the lowest cost of several other solutions that have been recommended in the past, has a low operating cost, is expandable, and it marries the existing biological system to a mechanical one without going to the expense of a full mechanical plant. She asked for authorization to allow staff to prepare a request for proposal for engineering services to assist with upgrades and prepare tender documents. Council called a special meeting for Monday, December 22, to deal with wastewater treatment operations.

The latest book which she started writing in September has sold 40 already of the original 150 copies. People can come to her condo at 20 Fourth Avenue to pick it up or call her at 613-3924374. Both books sell for $10 each. The illustrations are done by local artists in a style that children can colour. The first book had illustrations by Tawnya Peterson of Carrying Place and the second by Eric Davidson of Brighton. “They would make super reading for everyone at Christmas and birthdays,” she suggests. “Even the adults like them.” Frances says she has always wanted to put out books. She has been an artist since 1950 and is a member of Arts Quinte West. Her latest endeavour is learning the mandolin. “I need a bit more practice,” she says.

Common Mistakes when Buying and Selling #3 “I was told that by listing my house in the Toronto Real Estate Board, it would have higher exposure.” According to the National Association of RealtorsR (NAR 2012), an estimated 90% of Buyers use the Internet to look for a home. Online marketing is gradually displacing print advertising and with new tools available (customized websites, social media, etc) to attract customers and a more technology-driven population, advertising online is becoming instrumental in real estate marketing. The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is the first online exposure for a listing. When a listing enters the market in a specific city, it is displayed in both the local Board and the national MLS system. A Buyer in Toronto would be able to look up all the listings in the specific area in which he/she is contemplating buying. For the vast majority of homeowners, having a property listed in another real estate Board would not be advantageous. However the pricing and online marketing strategy used to maximize the exposure of a listing are critical considerations for the successful sale of any property.

News - Trent Hills - What is the role of Campbellford’s Business Improvement Area (BIA), and its relationship to council? Elected officials and members of the BIA will have that and other questions answered in the new year when a representative from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will attend an information meeting at the invitation of council. BIA members will be asked to submit questions in advance of the meeting, which will be held in late January or early February. The need for a gathering of this kind became apparent during the recent municipal election campaign when council, staff and candidates fielded and posed questions about the BIA’s role, and the nature of council’s oversight. With the BIA annual meeting scheduled for March, “staff feel it would be beneficial to host an information meeting” for its members, Trent Hills CAO Mike Rutter said in a report. “We feel it is important to have this meeting prior to the AGM where the board of management elections take place and the membership are discussing their future activities and budget,” he wrote. As staff and council work with the BIA to advance its interests and enhance Campbellford’s downtown, “having a good understanding of their role, our responsibilities, and the applicable legislation will ensure we provide effective support to this important organization.” Rutter said having the information come from “an expert source would provide clarity for the membership” as they make plans for the coming year and beyond. “This is something I have been proposing for quite some time, that we bring membership together,” Mayor Hector Macmillan told council last week, and the municipality needs to make sure that it contacts the absentee landlords that own some of these buildings … because we want to get full participation out on this.” BIA president Tom Kerr said he’s “looking forward to the meeting. I think this is a positive step” because it will bring people “of like minds” together “and get us all going in the right direction. This has been long needed.” Kerr said the BIA and council “do not need to be at odds so let’s get going in the same direction.” As for members who have brought something to his attention and said “this is a concern, we’ve acted upon it” as has council when its members were made aware of concerns. “This is just going up one step further to clarify things,” he said. It’s “a necessary step. No matter how much you know there’s always something to learn,” on either side.

Volunteers have fixed it all up for now, but are hoping it doesn’t happen again. “We have them on camera, but we will be adding new cameras,” Whitney said. More police officers and community police will be watching over the display until it shuts down on January 10. “We have security there until 9:30 p.m. but it’s been so mild,” Whitney said. “Whoever they are, they’re coming out later at night. We will have to extend our security to midnight. Hopefully it will get really cold and they won’t be out.” The display attracts hundreds of people throughout the season to enjoy Thomas the Train and beautiful lighting displays donated by the community, including the new nativity. Even the celebration at the start of Hanukkah was delayed because someone had unplugged the wires to light the first candle on the menorah on December 16. “Someone had moved the wires, OVER THE ROSSMORE BAY BRIDGE then rain got onto the plugs,” Whitney 5567 Hwy 62 S 613-966-6656 said. “Ross had to come in and fix it

PET OF THE WEEK! Meet Simon
Here is Simon
Simon is almost all black except for a few white hairs in his chest. He was the smallest in his litter but has caught up with the rest. Simon likes to run and play. He has a very unique way of greeting you, he walks backwards and wags his tail, so very cute to watch. Adopting two kittens will bring you twice the fun and laughter, they will entertain you for a lifetime. They will also keep each other company while you are away. Our adoption fee for kittens is $75.00 and cats $50.00 which includes spay/neuter, first vaccines, deworm and deflea. We have an adoption application and contract. Come in to The Cat’s Cradle at 8 Bridge St. W in Campbellford to meet some of our kittens and browse through our “New to You Boutique” for gifts or something unique for yourself.
Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. -5 p.m.. For more information call 705-947-3002. Our website is www.catcarespayneuter.com
