Brighton — “We are not alone.” This message can be pretty powerful for families struggling with autism, say the co-chairs of Adam’s Hope. And on Sunday, April 8, families were not alone, as dozens of residents rallied and marched in solidarity with people and families affected by what’s said to be one of the fastest-growing developmental disorders. “We need the community’s support,” said Joanne Alexander, one of the co-chairs of Adam’s Hope. “Rallying the community’s support and creating more awareness, that’s the big goal.” Alexander and her co-chair Christina Knight also have sons with autism. Their goal is to not only help people understand what autism is, but how it affects people and their loved ones. On Sunday, April 8, which marked World Autism Day, the duo called on the community to show its support during their second Autism Awareness Walk and daylong fundraiser. “This is about inclusion and acceptance and helping families that are financially struggling,” said Alexander. And this year’s turnout didn’t disappoint, as the number of participants for the event doubled from last year. See WALK page 5

Brighton gets $100,000 grant to replace gazebo with larger stage JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Brighton — The funding is now set for the gazebo in Memorial Park to come down and be replaced by a community stage that's much larger. The last piece of the funding puzzle was put into place with the announcement last week that Brighton will receive a $100,000 grant from the province through the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Council, which has committed $65,000 to the project, had made clear the gazebo would not be replaced without the province lending a hand. Brighton's Lions and Rotary clubs are each contributing $25,000, and the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund is chipping in with $10,000. “This will be a huge addition to the park,” NorthumberlandQuinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi
said in announcing the grant at the park on April 6. “These are the types of things we need to celebrate. It will make Brighton (an) even more attractive place to be.” Mayor Mark Walas expressed appreciation for the “tremendous” investment the government was making in the community. Rinaldi said in a news release the new community stage will give residents “a dynamic new location to host important public events and performances” as well as serve as a “launching pad” for innovative programs that are part of arts and cultural events. Walas pointed out a pair of fully accessible washrooms will be attached on the north side of the structure. He said in an interview visitors to the park in past years had made use of washrooms at
a nearby restaurant, but being a private business, it was “a bit of a problematic issue.” More recently portable toilets have been placed on-site for weekly concerts in the park and special events. The community stage will also face the park in a slightly different angle to give performers “better exposure” to audiences. There will be “much better visibility” as well with a higher roof. Director of parks and recreation Jim Millar said he was “overjoyed and relieved” the municipality got the grant it had requested. “I feel strongly that it's a real positive for the community.” The money will be used to build a stage that's more of a rectangle and “about 75 per cent bigger” than what is there now.

Council members and staff as well as representatives from local service clubs were among those who attended MPP Lou Rinaldi's announcement that Brighton will receive $100,000 to replace the gazebo in Memorial Park. The gazebo, as well as being “tired, doesn't fit the (community's) needs now as the town grows,” Millar said. The new stage will have a large screen so “you will be able to show movies in the park.” It will also have a proper storage room for equipment. Submitted/Jim Millard

In a report to council last fall, Millar said the gazebo, less than 20 years old, is in need of “major repairs to its roof and frame,” noting it “has shifted more than three inches from its moorings.” Fixing and restoring it would cost about the same as to
replace it, chief administrative officer Bill Watson told council at the time. “We're quite excited to get the project underway this year,” Millar said. “We're hoping to have it completed in time for, if not Applefest (in September), then Remembrance Day.”

Final delivery of stormwater master plan now expected in March 2019 SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com
Brighton — The proposed timeline to complete the municipality’s stormwater master plan has been pushed to March 2019. Initially, the deadline to complete the project was December 2018. Last week, the Emmons and Olivier Resources (EOR) team handling the master plan had its project kickoff meeting with municipal staff and the Lower Trent Conservation Authority. Following this meeting, the team also visited with Brighton council and the public to review the schedule for the project. “The original schedule assumed that we
would be starting the project in January of this year,” Olivia Sparrow recently told council. Sparrow is a water resources engineer with EOR and also the assistant project manager for Brighton’s storm water master plan. EOR representatives previously visited with council back in February and at that time said they could still meet the project deadline. But, that was again assuming work started in February and now it’s April, so the team had to push things a bit and be realistic considering how long it takes to collect data to inform a good plan, said Sparrow. In other words, the delay in awarding the contract for the plan has delayed the project sched-
ule. Last week, as Sparrow visited Brighton, she was joined by a contingent of experts and consultants who will be involved with the project and the team made formal introductions, while also laying out the process by which the project will unfold. In addition to Sparrow, Cecilio Olivier, a founding partner with EOR, who will be serving as the project manager for Brighton’s plan, was also in attendance. Other representatives present ranged from a specialist in the environmental assessment process, to a storm water specialist and water resources engineer, whose sole focus will be to identify funding opportunities. (This funding work also means a closer look at storm water user fees and charges and recommendations to accompany those). Over the next few weeks, a “flurry of activity” will be taking place and the team will start collecting data and work to verify storm sewer infrastructure, said Sparrow. In early May, the team will start its storm water management pond inspection and assessment. These two tasks and assessments of the storm sewer infrastructure and storm water management ponds will be a big part of what informs the plan, said Sparrow. These assessments will include looking at the current performance of infrastructure and also look ahead at future development and what improvements may be needed. These two tasks should be completed by July. The next “major component” will be the public information centre meeting, which EOR is proposing should take place in either late August or early September. At this time, all results and information will be made public.
The summer can sometimes be a challenging time to engage the public and then there are also elections and this meeting should be scheduled to “maximize how much input we can get,” said Sparrow. The EA process also takes time to get through. Following the first draft of the plan, it has to be left out for 30 days to gather public comments and then those comments are addressed and another version of the plan is completed and later presented, explained Sparrow. Then, there’s another 30-day waiting period before the final plan can be delivered and this is all to ensure public input can be incorporated into the plan, she said. As a result, and when considering the later start and proposed timeline, EOR reps are now saying a more realistic time frame for the final delivery of the plan is March 2019. It might seem like a long time between the public meeting and the delivery of the report but that’s just how much time it takes to go through the process, said Sparrow. The project will target the urban area as defined in Brighton’s official plan. “This plan has been a long time in the making (and) it’s been a long time coming,” said Coun. Steven Baker. “The awarding of this contract has not been without controversy, we have decided to spend a considerable amount of the taxpayers’ money and I would hope members of the public and members of council as well, would let this process happen and I look forward to this report.” Official notice for the commencement of the EA is expected in coming weeks. This notice will include key information for the public. The project team has also committed to share monthly reports that will show project highlights and progress.
Last Friday’s fatal bus crash in Saskatchewan “touches all of us,” MPP Rinaldi says JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Colborne – At the local library on Monday to announce funding for its expansion, Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi went offscript briefly to talk about last Friday's fatal bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos. His granddaughter, Aly Morris, attends Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia on a hockey scholarship and a good friend of hers on the men's hockey team played for the Broncos two years ago. “She was really upset because
this young man is really distraught,” Rinaldi said. “So it touches all of us.” Fifteen people were killed and 14 injured last Friday when a bus carrying the junior hockey team to a playoff game collided with a tractortrailer. Rinaldi, who once coached at the minor hockey level, recalled when his three sons played hockey when they were young and travelled across Southern Ontario in the playoffs. The deaths in Saskatchewan “really touch home although ... far away,” he said.

WALK
• From front page
When people come together like this, it sends that message that “We are not alone” loud and clear, said Alexander. This is an important part of the pair’s awareness event, the co-chairs say. This message, it’s not only powerful, it can provide comfort to both kids and parents and that was certainly the case for these two moms as they grew to know each other. “Just knowing I’m not alone and someone else is in this struggle, it does help,” said Alexander. The duo has each other to lean on and they want others to have that, the supports they need and also to feel like they have their community’s backing. The awareness event is a chance for people to connect and to learn about services and supports out there, said Knight. In addition to the walk last Sunday, information booths were set up inside the King Edward Park Community Centre, alongside vendors. The vendor show, which ran throughout most of the day, helped raised funds for Adam’s Hope, as did donors and other activities. Local firefighters and Sparky the fire dog also
made an appearance. The nonprofit charity, which started with Adam, a young boy with autism, is dedicated to helping kids and families living with the disorder. Adam’s parents, who created the charity, tried traditional therapies for years but were concerned with their son’s progress, though confident he could do more. They then decided to seek out other therapies and once his program was in place, for many years they chose to help other families affected by autism. In 2016, Alexander and Knight took over the reins of the organization. People are unique, as are kids with autism, said Alexander. If you’ve met one kid with autism — that’s one kid, it doesn’t affect everyone the same, she said. In other words, the therapies needed for kids can range and they aren’t always traditional and help costs money. Having a kid with autism can means costs double, said Alexander. Something like swimming lessons, parents can quickly see those costs rise, she said. It’s not as simple as just dropping a kid off for swimming, maybe a child needs one-on-one supervision the en-
tire time or there are other safety measures that need to be taken, Alexander explained. Adam’s Hope is in place to try and help families pursue therapies and to help with some of those extra costs, say the pair. Safety measures alone can be a big cost for families, whether that means fencing in a yard, locks or alarms, those can be necessities for people living with autism, said Knight. Adam’s Hope also helps with communication devices and technology purchases, as well as respite services and emotional supports. Whether kids with autism are verbal or nonverbal, the apps and devices today can help a lot with that communication and social piece that is often lacking and help improve these skills, said Alexander. Like kids with autism, parents can become isolated, added Knight. Parents don’t always get out in the community as much and “sometimes, we need a break.” The duo wants their recent sponsors and donors to know, a donation can be life changing. Sponsors for this year’s event included Cheer Homes and Milestone Bath Experts. There were also anonymous sponsors.

A little taste of Canada Former East Northumberland Secondary School principal Jeff Kawzenuk and students visiting from Tanzania enjoy some refreshments after being warmly received at the school.

t’s unbelievable. Unfathomable. Horrific. The stories and photos coming out of Saskatchewan following Friday’s deadly crash that claimed 15 lives and injured 14 others from the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team have been nothing short of mind-numbing. The players on this junior hockey team, 17 to 21 years of age, their coaching and support staff, could have been anyone, on any bus, in small-town Canada. As we get to know the people of Humboldt, the pain and suffering of a nation is front and centre. Our junior hockey teams, or minor hockey teams for that matter, it could have been them. It’s not like we haven’t thought about that already, and perhaps that’s why it’s been so easy for Canada to come together as a nation – it’s what we do. We support each other, through tragedies like this. We offer money, food, condolences, floral tributes, our hearts, thoughts, and our prayers. As MPP Lou Rinaldi noted Monday, this unthinkable event strikes at the heart of every community. All of us can relate in
some way - whether player, coach or former coach, parent. Just so much sadness. The #putyoursticksout campaign saw numerous families and agencies pay tribute with hockey sticks placed outside doors. Today, April 12, has been deemed as national ‘Jersey Day’, encouraging Canadians to wear their favorite jersey in a show of support for the vicitims. The Humboldt Broncos GoFundMe page has reached over $6 million and the money keeps coming. To the families of the victims, may you continue to find strength in the rally of the nation. Please keep these guys, and their families in your thoughts and prayers: Glen Doerksen, 59, (bus driver); Darcy Haugan, 42 (coach); Mark Cross, 27, (assistant coach); Tyler Bieber, 29, (play-by-play announcer); Brody Hinz, 18 (radio stats guy); Logan Schatz, 20; Jaxon Joseph, 20; Stephen Wack, 21; Adam Herold, 16; Logan Hunter, 18; Logan Boulet, 21; Evan Thomas, 18, Conner Lukan, 21, Jacob Leicht, 19, and Parker Tobin, 18. And to the man who drove the transport, and survived – we’re thinking of you and your family, too.
Ronny's antics were frowned on at school and on the farm It wasn’t unusual for my Montreal cousins, Ronny and Terry to come to the farm in Renfrew County at any time of the year. Spring came early that year, and with it came Aunt Helen with Ronny and Terry in tow. All she did was drop them off, have one night's sleep, and was back on the train to Montreal the next day. You’d never know Terry was in the house, but Ronny was a different story. All Mother had to do was pack another sandwich in the lunch bag, and off Ronny went to the Northcote School with the rest of us. Well, it didn’t take long for Ronny to be up to his usual tricks at school. He was back to eating chalk, throwing spit balls, and dunking Cora’s long braids into the ink well on his desk where he sat behind her. As usual, Miss Crosby sent a note home

until it was going crazy trying to nip at Ronny’s legs. It took Father to bring the fight to a close by grabbing the bag, and sending Ronny over the fence. Terry would eat anything Mother put before him. Not Ronny. At supper that Saturday, we were having sauerkraut, salt pork and turnips, all of which Ronny hated. Now, how Ronny did it I didn’t know, but his plate was empty before I hardly got started. After our dessert of chocolate cake, Ronny stood up, and you didn’t have to wear glasses to see Ronny’s pockets on his pants, bulging. I knew then where the food on his plate went to. I looked over at Father, who would never tolerate such nonsense from us kids. He rose from the table even before his tea was cooled down in his saucer, and headed for the rocking chair by the

Findlay Oval. By bedtime, Ronny had managed to have a fight with Emerson, who was twice his size, steal Terry’s crayons as we sat around the old pine table, and knock down Earl’s house of cards. But the night was young. Before we climbed the stairs for bed, Ronny managed to upset his chocolate milk all over the table. Mother frantically tried to wipe it up with her apron so that it wouldn’t ruin her diaries she worked on every night. The mess was terrible, and it took both Mother and Audrey to clean it up. Thankfully, before it reached Mother’s precious diaries. He also managed to steal Terry’s cookie when he wasn’t looking. Audrey took charge upstairs, and she wasn’t above giving Ronny a clout on the side of the head if he got out of hand. He must have been
tired out from his day of antics, because even before I went upstairs, there wasn’t a peep coming down the stairwell. Just as I was putting my feet on the stairs to go up to bed, I overheard Father say to Mother. “I’ll bet my last dollar that one day we’ll read about that lad in the Renfrew Mercury. And it won’t be a writing you’d want to cut out and put into the family bible.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

OPP: Train passes over woman lying between tracks intending self-harm JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
The following were among the 204 incidents investigated by the Northumberland OPP detachment from April 3-5. April 5 • Citizens have begun to take advantage of the gun amnesty in effect for the month of April by arranging with police to turn in their unwanted or illegally owned firearms, weapons, accessories or ammunition. Interested gun owners are asked to call the OPP's non-emergency number at 1-888-310-1122 to arrange for officers to attend their residence and safely remove the weapons. They can also use the OPP website button at www.opp.ca/ gunamnesty or the citizen selfreporting tool to notify police, or get in touch with a municipal police force. • A mailbox on Friendly Acres Road in Trent Hills was reported damaged sometime overnight the previous Friday. A baseball bat appears to have been used. April 4 • A Brighton resident reported being flagged down by an apparently stranded motorist on County Rd 30 south of Highway 401. The male indicated that he had run out of
gas and requested the citizen buy his gold jewelry to raise money for fuel. He declined but gave the man $10 for gas. He described the male as six feet tall, well-dressed, with a light brown skin tone. An elderly female was observed in the back seat of the dark-coloured Infinity wearing a black-and-white Middle Eastern headscarf. Similar reports have been received by police in the Napanee area where citizens have discovered the gold jewelry they purchased is fake. • Officers were kept busy with several reports of trees and power lines being down across roads due to high winds that began shortly after 12 noon. Motorists also reported black ice on some roads in the south part of Northumberland County. No serious injuries were reported to police in any of these occurrences. April 3 • A 31-year-old man attended the detachment office in Brighton asking for help, saying he hadn’t eaten in days and was feeling unwell. Staff contacted emergency medical services who transported him to a hospital. • Around 7:30 p.m. police were called by CNR officials
who reported a female had attempted self-harm by lying down between the railroad tracks in the Brighton area. A VIA train had passed over her without injuring the woman. A second train was able to stop and the woman was held until police arrived. The 21-year-old local woman was transported by officers to a hospital for assessment. • Officers responded to four family disputes, two involving a 12-year-old child having a temper tantrum in Hastings and a request to remove an intoxicated 49-year-old relative from a Colborne home. No charges resulted from the calls to police. Northumberland OPP officers investigated seven accidental 911 calls, 12 motor vehicle collisions, and 43 traffic-related complaints during the same period. They also conducted five RIDE programs. Police ask that anyone with information regarding crimes contained in this report to call the nearest OPP detachment. To remain anonymous, call the Peterborough/Northumberland Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS). You may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000 and not have to appear in court.
Spring maintenance underway for Waterway bridges In the coming weeks, Parks Canada will be conducting spring maintenance at some of its swing bridges and sites along the Trent-Severn Waterway, in preparation for the 2018 navigation season. This includes preventive maintenance tasks like washing and greasing swing bridges and conducting visual inspections to ensure their safe operability. Seasonal maintenance on certain bridges that cross the Trent-Severn Waterway will not result in closures, but vehicles may experience short delays of about 10 minutes:
April 9 to mid-May; Brighton Road Swing Bridge; Carrying Place Swing Bridge; Glen Ross Swing Bridge; Ranney Falls Swing Bridge (Campbellford); Hastings Swing Bridge; Bobcaygeon Swing Bridge; Bolsover Swing Bridge; Boundary Road Swing Bridge; Lakeshore Road Swing Bridge; Couchiching Bridge; Hamlet Swing Bridge (on Canning Road near Washago); Port Severn Swing Bridge.

How to predict future body aches and pain now www.newscanada.com
Do you ever look at the bottom of your shoes? Experts say shoe treads can tell a lot about the way you walk and can even help predict the development of pain in your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and possibly your back. “Most people don’t think about their feet and lower limbs until they start to hurt, but shoe wear patterns can indicate possible issues before pain develops,” explains Kevin Fraser, president of the Pedorthic Association of Canada and a Canadian certified pedorthist. “The wear patterns on your shoes illustrate the repetitive motion of your feet and lower limbs, so they show if you have structural concerns that may lead to the development of pain and mobility problems.” Fraser says symmetrical wear on both shoes is normal, particularly along the edge of the heel and the big toe. However, it’s concerning if one shoe is worn more than the other, the heel is worn excessively, or there is a localized area of wear. Excessive wear along
the outer side or inner edges is another warning sign. In addition to examining your tread wear, Fraser recommends placing your shoes on a flat surface. The shoes should lie flat. If they tip inwards or outwards or the sides lean in or out, you should consider booking a consultation with a foot expert as you may have a biomechanical abnormality such as muscle imbalance, a leg length difference, or feet that roll too much inwards or outwards. Healthy feet roll gently from the outside of the heel inwards towards the big toe, so the arch absorbs the impact of each step to cushion the ankles, knees and hips. But if you notice anything concerning when you read your shoes, don’t be alarmed - a Canadian Certified Pedorthist can help manage most foot and lower limb issues with appropriate footwear selection or custom-made foot orthotics.

Brighton Public School students receive an ‘Ed-zoo-cation’
Brighton – A few special guests at Brighton Public School last week made “ed-zoo-cation” fun for kindergarten students. Last Wednesday, Zoo to You brought its onthe-road show to Brighton and offered children a unique hands-on learning experience. Students had the chance to get up close and personal with a number of animals, reptiles, mammals, arachnids and amphibians. The Zoo to You group brings “ed-zoocation” and its interactive educational displays and friends to an array of locations throughout Ontario upon request. Brighton Public School, which won first prize in the Applefest parade last year, used these funds to pay for the educational experience for the students.
Cramahe deputy mayor's bid to re-establish committee voted down JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Cramahe Township — Deputy Mayor Sandra Arthur failed in her bid to re-establish the management operating committee. Tim Gilligan was the lone council member to support her proposal at council's April 3 meeting to have the committee return, to review finance, operations, bylaws, human resources, planning, parks and recreation, as well as any concerns council has. Councillors Ed Van Egmond and Don Clark voted against the idea, and Mayor Marc Coombs broke the tie by siding with them. The committee operated for several months after it was set up in December 2015. Van Egmond said he feared it would have too much influence. “Maybe no decisions are made but a direction is implied, and that bothers me, (that) the rest of council will not be in on when a direction is taken,” he said. Clark said he “thought it was a good idea” at first but ended up agreeing with Van Egmond that it would give two people, the mayor and deputy mayor, the authority to set direction “for all of council” when all are “equal members.” Arthur explained the original committee enabled her and the mayor to stay informed of “some of the things that were going on with the chief administrative officer at the time (as well as) the clerk.” “There was a lot of concerns that were coming forward,” she said. At one point “supposedly too much information (was) being requested from staff at the council meetings,” but having a committee in place “limited some of the things”

that came forward. “It's a good thing,” Arthur insisted, and “very worthwhile.” Gilligan said the committee would make its recommendations based on receiving updates and holding discussions. Council “would still have to vote on everything that goes through,” he said. “We have to have faith in each other.” “It's not that anyone could be doing anything for their own intent or anything (that's) malicious,” Gilligan said. Chief administrative officer Craig Brooks said he didn't think a management operating committee was a bad concept if it were to present motions at open council requesting information from staff. It's “one way that it can work,” he said. But he has been asking staff to prepare more reports for council to be discussed in an open forum “so that transparency is there.” “We need to be more open with the public (about) what's going on,” he said. Coombs said the committee was formed when “we were having a number of issues with staff and council members that led to a couple of grievances.” “We thought at the time by having this it might eliminate some of (those) problems. It didn't so that's why it (was) discontinued. “All members of council are equal and all decisions should be made here at this table,” Coombs said. The only difference between himself and other elected officials is that, under the Municipal Act, the mayor is the chief executive officer of the organization and it's in that role that he works with the CAO and senior staff.

ynthia Stanhope was born in a small town on Lake Erie, south of Hamilton. At 19, she left the nest to pursue a fine arts degree at York University. She majored in theatre performance. “After graduating,” said Stanhope, “I did a lot of dinner theatre for 10 years. Around the age of 34, I fell and hurt myself very badly resulting in a serious whiplash. It was then I was introduced to shiatsu and massage therapy, which cured me. I thought, this is what I should be doing. It set me on a brand new path which maybe I should have been on in the first place. (Nothing is a coincidence in life.)” After her recovery, Stanhope went back to school, first in shiatsu therapy followed by an apprenticeship, then went into massage therapy school for another two years to become registered. She worked in these professions in Toronto, and taught massage therapy until 2002 when she moved to Brighton: “My husband Michael and I used to

Driving back to Toronto on a Sunday afternoon, I had butterflies in my stomach. Why was I upset over going back home to Toronto? I just knew we had to make a change. Toronto was becoming overwhelming. I had grown up in a town smaller than Brighton. So, we started looking for a cottage here. Eventually, we bought one off Lakeshore Road and made it
into our home. I am here and happy.” Stanhope expresses her happiness in a marvellous way: she teaches Zumba dance. “Zumba is my joy. When I came here, my new book club friends introduced me to Mary McEwan, an icon in this town, an incredible woman. She taught Zumba and I took her class and fell in love with the form. Four years later, I asked her if I could get my own license. She told me to go ahead with her blessing. I student-taught with her

and then we made a deal. She teaches at the legion on Monday mornings and I do the Masonic Hall on Monday nights and ENSS on Wednesday nights.” Zumba is a Latin style dance fitness class originally started in Miami. “I have now been teaching it for over four years. It is about having fun. It is joy. All my students say that too. They range from mid- 40 menopausal (laughing) to 70-something. I do my
own choreography. We play all kinds of music, including country and western and rhythm and blues. We have a great time together, and dance and laugh, and work hard. No one is allowed to say they made a mistake. They love the music and move; that’s what is important. I lost 23 pounds over two years while changing nothing else. It’s all about consistency, just doing it.” Clearly, Stanhope’s university performance training has come into play. She illustrates her point about her classes’ collective joy: “People come in and ask, ‘How are you?’ The next thing you know, the music is on and we dance. And when I leave it, I say (to a higher up) thank you, thank you, thank you.” And this in a nutshell is her philosophy of life: “First thing every day, I give thanks. I really believe it’s very important to choose positive, choose openness; it’s less work than anger. I like this way better. (She pauses thoughtfully.) I am a constant work in progress. I am very blessed. When life is tough, choose to be proactive and believe that you are going to be OK.” For more info on Zumba classes please call 613-847-1183.

Cramahe library CEO gets her wish: a $150,000 grant from the Trillium Foundation JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Colborne — Cramahe Township Public Library CEO Mary Norton is a very happy person these days. The Ontario Trillium Foundation came through with the $150,000 she requested to help fund expansion of the Colborne library as well as extensive renovations. “It will be just wonderful (and make) such a difference for our community,” Norton said in an interview after Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi announced the grant at the library on Monday. The extra space is urgently needed. “That's the main reason we're doing this, to give our community space for activities,” she said. “We're bursting at the seams.” The township is contributing $100,000 to the project which will get underway after tenders go out in the next three weeks and a contractor is selected. “It's very exciting,” said Lorelyn Morgan, chair of the library board, who expressed the gratitude of board members, staff and patrons that funding has been given to build an addition John Campbell/Metroland that will open up more space for special activities. “This library ... has a lot going on,” she said. The renovations involve knocking down walls It was a happy bunch of library board members along with Mayor Marc Coombs (third from left) after MPP Lou Rinaldi, centre, beand restructuring the interior area; plans include tween Coombs and library CEO Mary Norton, dropped by Monday to officially announce the library would be getting a $150,000 grant.

The front entrance will be made barrier-free and fully accessible. Mayor Marc Coombs said the township's contribution will be from reserves that were built up with development charges. “We've never used the money for library (purposes) so first time,” he said. Coombs said the hope is for the work to be done before the end of the year. Rinaldi pointed out that in the budget his
Liberal government unveiled recently “there are some things for libraries for the first time in a long, long time.” There were “put in the back seat for a number of years” but the government is committed to increasing libraries' base operational funding by $51 million over three years “to keep them sustainable.” “It might be one less tea party that you have to have to raise funds,” he joked, “so that's going to be a huge boost.”
Benefits to Getting Older Many people are quick to think of growing older in a negative light. Although there certainly are some side effects of aging that one may wish to avoid, people may find that the benefits of growing older outweigh the negatives. Seniors are a rapidly growing segment of the population. Statistics Canada reports that, in July 2015, estimates indicated that there were more persons aged 65 years and older in Canada than children aged 0 to 14 years for the first time in the country's history. Nearly one in six Canadians (16.1%) was at least 65 years old. With so many people living longer, it's time to celebrate the perks of getting older rather than the drawbacks. Here are some great benefits to growing old: · Higher self-esteem: The insecurities of youth give way as one ages, and older people have less negativity and higher selfesteem. A University of Basel study of people ranging in ages from 18 to 89 found that regardless of demographic and social status, the older one gets the higher self-esteem climbs. Qualities like self-control and altruism can contribute to happiness. · Financial perks: Seniors are entitled to discounts on meals, museum entry fees, movies, and other entertainment if they're willing to disclose their ages. Discounts are available through an array of venues if one speaks up. Seniors also can enjoy travel perks, with slashed prices on resorts, plane tickets and more. The U.S. National Park Service offers citizens age 62 and older lifetime passes to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites for just $10 in person ($20 online or via mail). · Reasoning and problem-solving skills: Brain scans reveal that older adults are more likely to use both hemispheres of their brans simultaneously - something called bilateralization. This can sharpen reasoning skills. For example, in a University of Illinois study, older air traffic controllers excelled at their cognitively taxing jobs, despite some losses in short-term memory and visual spatial processing. Older controllers proved to be experts at navigating, juggling multiple aircrafts simultaneously and avoiding collisions. · Less stress: As people grow older, they are able to differentiate their needs from wants and focus on more important goals. This can alleviate worry over things that are beyond one's control. Seniors may realize how little the opinions of others truly mean in the larger picture, thereby feeling less stress about what others think of them. Growing older may involve gray hair or wrinkling skin, but there are many positive things associated with aging.

Keeping Your Brain Young After 50 Physical activity and proper diet and nutrition can help people age 50 and older maintain their physical health. But there are also ways aging men and women can preserve brain health in an effort to prevent or delay the cognitive decline that affects millions of seniors across the globe. It's easy to overlook the importance of keeping the brain healthy. However, a decline in brain function can result in poor concentration, memory loss and a host of other issues. Sometimes, by the time symptoms present themselves, it may be too late to reverse any damage. Research suggests that a combination of nutrition and mental, social and physical activities may have a greater impact with regard to maintaining and improving brain health than any single activity. Harvard Medical School also states that volunteering, caring for others and pursuing hobbies may benefit the brains of older adults. A study published in the Archives of General Psychiatry found participants who reported higher levels of purpose in life exhibited superior cognitive function despite the accumulation of abnormal protein depositions (amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles) in the brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Having a purpose also may help those who do not have Alzheimer's disease. In addition to the suggestions mentioned above, those who want to boost brain health can consider these strategies. · Start exercising the brain early on. A study published in 2012 in the British Medical Journal examined cognitive function in people ages 45 to 70. Researchers found evidence of cognitive decline in the 45-year-old participants as well as the older participants. It's never too early to put a brain health plan into motion. · Read more books. Reading can open individuals up to new vocabulary and scenarios that promote a stronger brain and recall ability. Enrolling in an education course at a local college, community center or online also may be beneficial. · Hit the gym. Several studies suggest an association between physical activity and reduced risk of cognitive decline. This could be because exercise elevates heart rate, which pumps more blood to the brain and body. · Supplement with DHA. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is dominant in the brain. Adhere to a Mediterranean diet, which is generally high in natural sources of omega-3, including fish and mono-unsaturated fats from olives, olive oil, nuts and seeds. Supplements also may help, but individuals should consult with their doctors about which products to take. · Challenge the mind. Men and women can engage in challenging activities that stray from their routines. Puzzles, strategic games, jigsaw puzzles, or difficult hobbies can benefit the brain. · Keep a close-knit group of friends. Regular conversation and social interaction is a key component of any brain health wellness plan. Slowing cognitive decline and promoting greater brain health should be a priority for adults of all ages.

Brighton – Brighton Applefest is getting $14,375 through the province's Celebrate Ontario program to make it “the best ever,” MPP Lou Rinaldi said last week in announcing the grant. The Northumberland-Quinte West MPP said he was “so impressed” by the first Applefest he attended, in 1981, but organizers of the event at the time began to worry about how to “scale it back because it was getting too big and unwieldy.” It was a hurdle they cleared, though, and Applefest became a mainstay on Brighton's calendar of special events. Mayor Mark Walas expressed the municipality's thanks for the funding that will “enhance and
improve the activities” as well as the functionality of Applefest. It's the fourth year Applefest has received money from the province but the $14,375 was more than the usual amount organizers have requested because “we have some things in the works that we'd like to use it for,” Applefest chair Christine Waterhouse said. She declined to give out further information at this point, except to say “it's related to the full weekend and different venues.” The 44th annual Applefest will take place Sept. 27-30. The province is handing out more than $20 million in support of 328 festivals this year, the highest number in the history of Celebrate Ontario.

ENSS welcomes Tanzanian students on visit to Canada JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Brighton — Usually it's students at East Northumberland Secondary School who travel to Tanzania to spend a couple of weeks helping young people there obtain a better education but last week they got to play the role of hosts for a day instead. Thirteen students and three staff advisers from a private girls school in the African country paid a visit on April 5. Helping to make them feel welcome was ENSS student Charlotte Coxhead who was instrumental in organizing the day's activities. “I'm so excited you guys are here,” she told her visitors, telling them the time she spent at their school last year “was an amazing experience” that she “will never forget.” Coxhead was one of seven students from East Northumberland who travelled with 10 other students from Cobourg and Port Hope on a Journey of Hope to the village of Kilema. They spent two-and-a-half weeks there, teaching elementary students. The visitors were treated to a song performed by students involved in the
school's upcoming musical, Aida, after which they visited the manufacturing and cosmetology classes. They also received donations from the school's Leo Club and Brighton Rotary, and a spaghetti lunch was held as a fundraiser for the group, who head home April 16. The students are currently billeted with families in Cobourg while the advisers are staying with former ENSS principal Jeff Kawzenuk, who asked his successor, Charlotte Filip, to host the visitors for a day, which began with a meet-andgreet and included a tour of the school and interactive library learning on computers. “It's wonderful to be able to host them, especially since ENSS has been a very much involved in the Journey of Hope for so many years,” Filip said. Kawzenuk, who's principal of Cobourg Collegiate Institute, was a staunch supporter of the program during his years at ENSS. Over the years the program raised thousands of dollars to fund numerous projects in Kilema, a village located about 4,500 feet up Mount Kilimanjaro. The projects included
In addition to teaching English and math to elementary students, they also painted classrooms, to give them a brighter hue. Their time there “was incredible, definitely life-changing,” said the 17-year-old student. Part of the “culture shock” they experienced was how few teachers there are, which means they are “hopping back and forth” between classrooms teaching lessons.

Also, seeing people there “struggling for water” and other commodities makes you “begin to appreciate” what you are “so used” to having in Canada, Draaistra said. Her trip to Africa — which cost each student $6,000 — “is one of the things that led me to choose the path of (becoming) an international human rights lawyer,” so she can travel around the world to help people who need help, she said.

Fees on the rise in township JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Cramahe Township — Fees are going up and new ones will be introduced as the township plays catch-up with other municipalities and rising costs. A bylaw revising the current schedule of fees as proposed by staff will be brought before council for approval next month. Council got a look at the recommended changes in a staff report it received at its April 3 meeting. Planning co-ordinator Himanshu Katyal supported his recommendation for raising fees by comparing what Cramahe charges to fees charged in Trent Hills, Brighton and the townships of Hamilton and Alnwick-Haldimand. In most cases, theirs were higher. Cramahe currently charges $600 for a consent, $560 for a minor variance, $940 for a site plan agreement, $375 for a site plan amendment and $2,500 (plus costs) for a plan of subdivision. Katyal has asked they be increased to $1,000, $800, $1,500, $940 and $3,500 (plus costs), respectively. He also wants to start charging $500 for removing a hold on a property's zoning, for which there is currently no charge. “The recommendation for proposed fees carefully takes into account the time and money spent (on) labour and material for applications while being sensitive to keeping the costs on par with the municipalities in Northumberland County,” Katyal wrote. The building department is also proposing a raft of increases. Chief building official Gerald Sproule said additional revenues are needed because Cramahe “has experienced greater growth in the past two years,” which has increased the building department's workload. Proposed subdivisions now before staff indicate “more time and attention (will be needed) to serve an increasing constituency.” Sproule also noted that building science continues to evolve, “particularly in the area of resource conservation,” which will require “greater time and diligence” throughout the permit process. He said the deficit between departmental ex-
penditures and revenues generated by building permits is being “borne by all ratepayers,” he said. Sproule proposes raising fees for residential construction as that is “where the greatest amount of staff time is devoted, and hence where the greatest contributor to the deficit lies.” His amended permit fee schedule includes: $1,331 for Group C low residential housing, multiple residential housing unit and residential major alterations and additions less than 1,200 square feet, plus $1.10 per square foot when greater than 1,200 sq. ft. (the current fees are $750, $801 and $560, respectively); $200 for demolition ($105); $2,000 for Group A, B, D, E, F new construction and major additions and alterations up to 2,500 sq. ft. ($906), and 55 cents a sq. ft. for over 2,500 sq. ft (36 cents). A new charge of $1,000 will be instituted for Group A, B, D, E and F minor alterations between 500 and 1,000 sq. ft., and $500 for less than 500 sq. ft. “Based on a 1,500 sq. ft home, an assessment shows that with the proposed change in fees, Cramahe is still proportional when compared with those municipalities and yet continues to be the lowest,” Sproule said. The cost of ice rentals will increase from $95 an hour for prime time to $107.35 for minor hockey (for non-minor hockey, the cost will rise from $116 to $131, and for adults, it will go from $126 to $142). A new fee of $1,200 will be charged for tournaments of 12 hours or less. One area where fees are going down is advertising at the Keeler Centre. Currently set at $300 a year, the fees will be lowered to $100 a year and increased at a rate of $5 annually until 2022. The cost to advertise for three years will drop from $700 to $250 (and also increase in $5 increments annually). Fire Chief Brandon Northrup has asked for two new fees — $350 for a property inspection, and $100 for a report. The revised fees shouldn't require much of an adjustment by users of township services as they are “fairly reasonable,” Mayor Marc Coombs said.
Brighton student places top five in provincewide Speakers Idol contest JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Brighton — “Freedom of speech is not freedom to propagate hatred.” Simon Wiesenthal firmly believed that. The Holocaust survivor who hunted down perpetrators after the war and brought more than 1,000 of them to justice, knew all too well how words of hate can lead to acts of violence. It was prejudice at its most extreme that resulted in the “Final Solution” — the systematic murder of some six million Jews and other peoples thought inferior by the Nazis. Among its many victims were 89 members of his family. Wiesenthal's defence of human rights and fight against bigotry and anti-Semitism continues to this day through the efforts of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, with offices in cities around the world, including Toronto. Each year the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies holds a Speakers Idol competition for high school students across the province; its slogan: “Changing the World, One Speech at a Time”. Isobel Flindall, a 15-year-old student at East Northumberland Secondary School, placed in the top five and spoke at the finals held March 27 at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. “The whole experience was amazing,” said Flindall, who was encouraged by her Grade 10 civics teacher, Deanne Patenall, to enter the 7th annual Speakers Idol, which challenged students to talk about freedom of speech as defined by Wiesenthal. It's a right that's “being misinterpreted,” Flindall said. “People are taking it as you can say whatever you want but (there are) boundaries ... which people seem not to realize.” The competition, which was divided into two categories, grades six to eight and grades nine to twelve, drew roughly 200 entries in total. The first stage was simply to submit a speech. The top 10 entrants in each category advanced to the semifinals where they attended a workshop with award-winning debate team members from Ontario universities, and video recordings were made of the students giving their speeches. The top five in each category were then chosen for the finals where they delivered their speeches in person. Patenall encouraged Flindall to enter Speakers Idol because “she's a very eloquent and confident speaker” who's also “a deep thinker” and a caring and compassionate person. She was “the perfect candidate” and she didn't

(and) did a fantastic job,” she said. “I was just so proud ... This kid's going places.” Patenall said defining limits on people's freedom of speech is “critical” these days at a time when cyberbullying is prevalent and “social media determines the value of a person” in often derogatory terms. “That message needs to change,” she said. In her speech Flindall said the freedom to express oneself “has turned into a shield ... (that people) hide behind” to spew hatred. Canadians like to think their country is inclusive but “there is still a large amount of hatred” we need to recognize “and weed out, not pretend it is not growing here.” Making people aware of “the negative things” that have taken place in Canada is necessary to “ensure they do not happen again,” Flindall said. “Ignoring the horrible things that have been done in the past simply sets us on a path to do them again,” she said. “So talk about injustice, past or present,” and don't let others spread hatred because it's not directed at you. “Speak for those who society has deemed should not have a voice.”

Council commits $10,000 for accessible boardwalk project at Presqu’ile beach SARAH HYATT sarah.hyatt24@gmail.com
Brighton — Council has agreed to chip in funds toward an accessible boardwalk project at Presqu’ile beach. “This has been a slow train coming” and it’s a “good thing for this council to do,” said Coun. John Martinello. Martinello, along with Coun. Mary Tadman, also serve on the accessibility advisory committee and spent time at last week’s council meeting advocating for the project. The total cost to construct the boardwalk is estimated at about $40,000 and a majority of council has agreed to chip in up to $10,000 to help with costs for the materials. This is “purely a contribution” and
the municipality will not be participating in the construction or work for the project, clarified Mayor Mark Walas, while council discussed the donation. In a recorded vote, Steven Baker was the sole councillor against contributing. When it came down to the vote, he said, “I’m concerned about where the money is coming from and not getting a report from staff, so I won’t be supporting this at this time.” Baker did say he supported the project in principle, but felt the request was “sprung” on council that night. And without a staff report or knowing where the funds would come Sarah Hyatt/Metroland from, he did not vote in favour of the Coun. Steven Baker supports the municipality’s contribution to the project in principle but voted not project. Councillors Martinello and Brian to support the contribution.
Ostrander had pushed earlier in the night to have discussion surrounding the contribution to the boardwalk project added to the agenda. Within the accessibility advisory committee minutes that night was also a recommendation to council to support the project with about $10,000. The idea for the boardwalk was previously brought to council’s attention early last year, though it appears the ongoing high water levels and troubles as a result were cause for the project to be delayed. “I agree with Coun. Martinello,” said Tadman, who also insisted the support for the project was much needed. And while council never passed a formal resolution last year during
budget discussions, Tadman said her recollection was that council was in agreement to support the project, as plans came to fruition and council understood residents also supported and wanted this boardwalk. She then praised the Friends of Presqu’ile Park for offering to donate the time and labour to build the boardwalk, which amounts to about $20,000 of the project costs. (The Friends are working with park staff to firm up the details and to put together plans for the project.) The park will cover the other $10,000 for materials. At this point, Walas said it’s likely the municipal portion of the project will come from either reserves or the contingency fund.
Brush up on the facts during Oral Health Month, says health unit Northumberland — The local health unit is asking families to “brush up on the facts” when it comes to oral health. This month, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit is encouraging parents and caregivers to make the link between oral health and their child’s healthy growth and development. “When children have dental pain, it is more than just a cavity,” said Anna Rusak, a health promoter with the health unit. “Cavities can be painful, limiting a child’s ability to chew foods properly and interrupting
them from fully paying attention at school or enjoying activities.” April is Oral Health Month and the health unit is helping to promote the Ontario-wide Brush Up on the Facts: Keep Kids Teeth Healthy campaign. The awareness campaign highlights the importance of good oral health for a child’s self-esteem and overall health and well-being. Health unit staffers are also reminding families, should they need help accessing dental care, families can look into and see if they are eligible for the Healthy Smiles Ontario program.
This program can cover regular checkups, preventive care and treatment for eligible kids and youth, who are 17 years of age and younger. Call the health unit at 1-866-888-4577 ext. 1247 for more information about this program. “Small changes today can help to prevent tooth decay, pain and discomfort, making a big difference for your child’s health tomorrow,” said Rusak. For more Brush Up on the Facts information and resources, visit the Ontario Association of Public Health Dentistry website (www.oaphd.on.ca/index.php/
brush-up-on-the-facts). Throughout the campaign, health unit staffers are reminding parents and caregivers of the importance of getting kids to brush their teeth twice a day, in the morning and night and for kids to spend at least two minutes brushing each time. A pea-sized amount of toothpaste is appropriate. Flossing daily, a health diet, with limited sugary drinks and sticky candy, as well as visiting a dental professional on a regular basis are equally important, says the health unit.

Sports Keystone Orange indoor soccer champs with flawless 18-0 record JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com
Brighton – Brighton Keystone Orange has done it again, winning the Bay of Quinte Men's Indoor Soccer League Division 1 playoff championship – for the eighth time in the nine years the league has been in existence. Equally remarkable is that the team won the regular season championship for the seventh time, winning all 18 games, 12 of them by shutout. “Unbelievable,” said Merv Heffernan, the team's longtime coach/manager. How did the Orange
manage to compile such an impressive record? “I stay away from the games,” he quipped. He attended the first game to hand out the jerseys and the team the Orange faced, which ended finishing last in the league, scored twice in the first five minutes. Heffernan stuck around until half-time before leaving, and Brighton went on to win 6-2. He never returned to watch another game and “for the rest of the season only four more goals were scored against us in the next 17 games.” But the real reason,
Heffernan owned up, is “they're just very, very good players.” The Orange will be hardpressed to duplicate their indoor success in the Bay of Quinte's outdoor league. It won two trophies last year, except the top one, the Division 1 league championship. “We should have a strong club this summer,” Heffernan offered, as most of the players who played indoors will be suiting up for the outdoor squad. “There are quite a few young guys we added ... (who are) away at university” when the indoor games are played, he said. “I'm
sure we're going to have a good season. I'm looking forward to it.” He goes to every outdoor game -- “I never miss them” -- but will once again turn over bench coach duties to Greg Raymond for the second year in a row. There are still openings on the team to be filled before the season begins in mid-May, weather permitting. Practices and workouts at King Edward Park or East Northumberland Secondary School will start on or about May 1. For more information call Heffernan at 613-475-3257.

Brighton — Community Living Campbellford/Brighton is all SET to help young people with disabilities in Northumberland County improve their chances of finding work and keeping jobs. The Summer Employment Transition program (SET), which will provide job readiness training to 93 people over three years, is being funded by a $469,700 Grow grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Participants will be 16 to 29 years of age with a range of disabilities (developmental, physical, learning and mental illness). College and university students will be hired to serve as their job coaches. They will provide on-the-job support to help program participants “overcome barriers to employment and enhance their hire-ability into adulthood,” Community Living said in a news release celebrating the launch of the program at the Brighton Community Resource Centre on April 3. Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi congratulated the agency on its “great initiative,” saying he was “excited that so many exceptional young people will be getting
a host of new job experiences” they wouldn't have had otherwise. In the same release, Community Living executive director Nancy Brown said giving youth with a disability the means “to earn at least minimum wage and to have a 'real job' experience with real expectations cannot be underestimated.” “The long-term benefits of this program will mean decreased reliance on income support/health systems,” she stated. “It is a fact employers who hire people with a disability enjoy an increase in employee retention and reduced hiring and training expenses.” “We all have our different challenges,” Rinaldi told Community Living staff and board members attending the celebration. “The reality is we need to make sure that everybody exercises the capacity they (have) to the best of their ability." Amy Widdows, Community Living's supervisor of support and services, said participants will experience what it is to have a summer job, whether it's four hours a week or 40 hours. Each will have a job coach “100 per cent of time for every single shift.” Some people don't have the ability necessarily to work full-time, Wid-
dows said. But working even just one day a week can make them “feel fulfilled.” “It's matching what makes sense for everybody,” Brown said. Only 18 will be accepted initially into the program, which will run from July 9 to Aug. 24. That number will double next summer. Six coaches and a co-ordinator will be hired full-time for 12 weeks. “We've received a ton of resumes,” Widdows said. Community Living is currently looking for employers in Brighton and area. “Next year we will branch out to Colborne and Campbellford,” Widdows said. She said statistics have shown that people with disabilities who secure a job discover “that's what they want to do forever, so if you're an employer, retention (is) the way to go.” It's also “good for business, the right thing to do, to be an inclusive employer,” Widdows added. “There's a provincial push for that currently.” “This is an amazing opportunity for a lot of people,” Brown said. “I'm asking the community to help make this work.” To learn more, visit www.communitylivingcampbellford.com.
