    Burglaries can be resisted by laminated glass because it is difficult to gain access or remove property, even if a puncture is made in the interlayer. When impacted, laminated glass typically breaks safely and remains an integral part of the opening. The plastic interlayer minimizes splinters and glass fragments, reducing the risk of injury or property damage. This is also particularly important during natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. Please call or visit clerawindows.com for more details.

    By John CampbellNews - Northumberland - Opposition is growing to the idea of Northumber-land Countys seven municipalities be-coming one to form a single-tier govern-ment.

    Both Trent Hills and Brighton coun-cils passed motions last week saying they do not support any discussions re-garding changes to the current munici-pal governance.

    Trent Hills also directed staff in the resolution it unanimously approved to continue pursuing opportunities for shared services and service delivery al-ternatives with neighbouring communi-ties, as part of ongoing cost containment

    By Ray YurkowskiNews - Brighton Hundreds gathered at Memorial Park in Brighton on Mon-day to honour sacri ce and pay tribute to Canadas fallen soldiers.

    The Government of Canada, through Veterans Affairs, declared 2013 as the year of the Korean War veteran to mark the 60 anniversary of the armistice. Royal Canadian Legion District Com-mander Greg Kobold gave the crowd a brief account of Canadas forgotten war.

    During the course of the war, all branches of the Canadian Armed Forces would be involved, with 26,791 Cana-dian personnel serving; 516 of those would pay the supreme sacri ce, he said. More than 26,000 returning veter-ans were not recognized as a veteran of war, which excluded them from bene ts or receiving a medal for their efforts. Please see Brighton remembers on page 5

    By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - The city has been presented with the Diamond Achievement Award for 2013.

    This award recognizes our work partnering with the Diamond on the new Tax Statement that is now available to all clients, said Alison Trumbley, manager of Revenue and Collection. It is for moving our purchasing function from a manual operation to full automation utilizing software. It also recognizes our dedication and commitment to the software by working through post-implementation challenges.

    Taxation staff attended the Diamond conference in late October. This is an annual conference that gives clients an opportunity to attend workshops, ask questions and network with other clients, as well as see enhanced features in upcom-ing upgrades. This year Quinte West was nominated for one of Diamonds three awards.

    Our external auditors, BDO, were on site the week of October 28 doing interim audit work, testing and reviewing manual and system processes, she noted.

    Staff also met with MPAC on October 29 for the monthly meeting addressing any concerns.

    The rst supplementary tax billing was mailed out Sep-tember 20 with due dates of October 29 and November 27. There were 256 bills going out for new homes, renovations, additions and class changes. The total amount of the rst supplementary billing was $380,020. To date, 1,981 dog tags were sold. Over 100 arrears letters were mailed out. About 30 nal notices were mailed with a due date of November 29 to clear off 2011 taxes. There were a total of 55 applications for cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes amounting to $161,496 to be struck off the roll, with $35,722 charged back to the various school boards.

    Ed Woods, manager of Information Technology, reported that the city launched its fth annual PRISM Veri cation process on October 21, contacting over 15,500 numbers to verify that its information was correct for PRISM-911, the citys emergency noti cation system. During last years veri- cation, over 89 per cent of the database was veri ed. The city has used PRISM on 18 occasions since 2008 including emergencies such as ooding, boil water advisories and miss-ing persons.

    Woods also reported that the new centralized Universal Power Supply (UPS) for city hall has been installed, replac-

    Brighton remembers

    It wasnt until 1991 that the Canadian government pre-sented the Korean War veterans with a medal.

    Today we pay tribute to the sacrifice made by generations of military personnel and thank them for our freedom, said Mayor Mark Walas, in his address. Their courage and devo-tion to duty should continue to be an inspiration to all of us.

    At the fourth annual candlelight vigil held the evening before the Remembrance Day ceremony, military Chaplain Tracy Graf paid tribute to our veterans.

    We owe our veterans and their families a debt that can never be repaid for their service and dedication to duty for our sake, she said.

    We give thanks to the brave men and women who have served for Canada, risking life and limb in the cause of free-dom. Though many cannot understand their pain and suffer-ing or comprehend the terrible fear and destruction they en-dured, there is one thing we can do and that is to promise to remember. We owe them a great debt. Everything we possess, we have because of their selfless legacy and remembering is not too much to ask. We, as Canadians, are forever grateful for them.

    Bob Forder, manager of buildings and facilities, reported that the new HVAC unit has been installed in the Trenton Arena Pad 2 expansion and has been inspected and balanced. The Trenton Arena Pad 2 siding project of $30,000 is complete and came in under budget by $11,570.

    Brighton, Trent Hills opposed to single-tier government investigations.

    Brightons resolution, approved 4 - 2 (with Council-lors John Martinello and Mary Tadman being opposed, and Mayor Mark Walas absent), instructed staff to in-clude consideration of shared services with neighbour-ing municipalities, regardless of county boundaries, during the Service Delivery Review that is currently under way in the municipality.

    The two resolutions were in response to one passed at county council last month that asked Northumber-

    lands chief administrative of cers committee to pre-pare a report on ways to provide more cost-effective services across the county that includes amalgamation. That could mean forming one government to serve all of the county, an East and West Northumberland, or clusters of municipalities.

    It disturbed me, Trent Hills Councillor Gene Bra-haney told his colleagues in putting forward the motion they passed November 5.

    Mayor Hector Macmillan, who, as warden of Nor-

    thumberland, was the lone member of county council to vote against the resolution when it came forward October 16, said it was done foolishly because the county and its municipalities are already sharing services in several areas and looking to do more.

    Im sure theres some ulterior motive why [the part about gov-ernance] was in there; it was all very well orchestrated, he said. If two or more municipalities wish to amalgamate, they should have those discussions without wasting the time of the CAOs committee.

    Theres lots of talk about some of them being underfunded the same ones [who] didnt have the guts to put their taxes up at least into the market with all the rest of the municipalities, Macmillan said. They shouldnt be looking at Northumberland County to do it for them.

    At Brighton, Deputy-mayor Craig Kerr said talk of changing the countys governance structure has absolutely nothing to do with potential cost savings, but the real motivation of whats going on here is very unclear.

    The proposal is purely a political one and was introduced at county council in an inappropriate manner, he said, as not all councils, including Brighton, were given a chance to comment before the issue was raised at county.

    The notion of a single-tier government raises very serious questions about the future and the prosperity of the citizens in each of our municipalities, Kerr said as part of the rationale for the motion he sub-mitted which Brighton council approved November 4.

    He also wondered why the rush to have the report completed by next March when its obvious any decision to alter municipal boundaries realistically cannot be acted upon until 2018, and should in-volve professional consultants.

    Moreover, council should reserve the right to extend the discussion about chang-es in governance to include the area east of the municipality because Brighton has far more vested interests in the greater Quinte economic region than [it does] to the urban areas to the west, Kerr said.

    Martinello said the county motion was more about consolidating services to save money for everyone and that amalgamation was bit of a bogeyman that could only take place a long way down the road and involve much more than the CAOs group.

    (The county resolution does require the seven municipalities be consulted before any decision is made.)

    We have an ongoing duty to make sure that we deliver the best possible services to every citizen in the most ef cient means possible, Martinello said. The idea we examine the better distribution of services makes sense to me.

    Kerr said the fact reference to municipal governance was buried in the resolution caused him a great deal of concern, if this is only about service delivery review.

    Councillor Tom Rittwage said he also found talk of single tier government or an East and West Northumberland trou-bling. The deputy-mayors motion will send a clear message [that] amalgamation is off the table, he said.

    LETTER TO THE EDITOR

    Gwynne Dyer

    Dear Editor,It wasnt just coincidence that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau

    suddenly came out recently and blamed Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper for the U.S. refusal to allow the Keystone XL pipeline to be built. According to Trudeau, all Harper had to do to sanction the pipeline was to simply become a far-left liberal ideologue like himself by approving a carbon tax, something even the Americans havent yet done.

    Of course, Trudeau also claimed his main objective is to protect the middle class but he also insists that taxing every-one is the right thing to do.

    It wasnt too surprising to understand where Trudeau is coming from by pushing for still another environmental hit to be imposed on the taxpayers. The carbon tax initiative comes shortly after the Trudeau camps selection of Gerald Butts as one of his key advisors. Butts, known as Butthead by his many critics, was the Principal Secretary to Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty prior to getting a call from the Trudeau people. He also has his fingerprints all over the Green Energy fiasco and other boondoggles by the provincial Liberals.

    So Butts helped to economically destroy one province and now he has his sights on bigger things like the entire coun-trys economy so we all can become a financial basket case just like the Obama administration.

    Butts is the former CEO of the World Wildlife Federation so he obviously has his priorities written in stone when it comes to carbon tax, global warming and all the other lib-left environmental objectives. Advancing the economy or looking out for the middle class taxpayers is the least of the concerns of either Trudeau or Butts. What taxpayers have to remember is that green energy has put hydro costs into orbit in this province and created a huge burden on seniors with fixed incomes.

    The U.S. has its Obamacare scandal to whine about while Ontario residents have energy and gas plant scandals to de-nounce thanks to the so-called friends of the middle class like McGuinty and Gerald Butts. Keep that in mind the next time you go to the ballot box.

    Time for this political advisor to Butt out

    Editorial - What will the Middle East look like after Iran and the great powers that are negotiating over Irans alleged nu-clear weapons ambitions. the five perma-nent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1), sign a deal that ends the confrontation? Its time to ask the ques-tion, because there is going to be a deal.

    It didnt get signed in Geneva last week-end, but it came close. The only foreign minister at the Geneva talks on Friday was Mohammad Javad Zarif of Iran, but progress was so rapid that by Saturday al-

    most all the foreign ministers of the P5+1 American, British, French, German and Russian dropped whatever they were doing and flew in for the grand finale. Only the Chinese foreign minister was absent.

    The grand finale has been postponed. There were just too many details to clear up in a single weekend, and a couple of sticking points that have yet to be resolved. But the date for the next meet-ing has already been set (November 20), and nobody went away angry. We are all on the same wavelength, said Zarif. There is a deal on the table and it can be done, said British Foreign Secre-tary William Hague.

    There are still some gaps between Iran and some of the other countries present, Hague said, but they are narrow gaps. You asked what went wrong. I would say that a great deal went right. Even French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, the one who appar-ently dropped a last-minute spanner in the works, said that, we are not far from a agreement with the Iranians, although we are not there yet.

    Fabiuss demands were that the reactor in Arak, now nearing completion, should never be activated, as it would produce pluto-nium as a byproduct, and that Irans store of uranium enriched to medium level (20 percent pure) should be brought back down to 5 percent to move it farther away from weapons-grade (90 percent). Introduced into the talks at a late stage, his demands brought the proceedings to a temporary halt.

    All the other Western powers closed ranks and insisted that these were joint demands, but they were not part of the original draft agreement. Speculation was rife that France was acting on behalf of its customers (for French weapons) on the Arab side of the Gulf, notably in the United Arab Emirates, who view the deal under discussion with just as much horror as Israel does. But France can only delay things: the deal is going to happen.

    One immediate consequence of the deal will be that Israel has

    to stop threatening to attack Iran. The threat was always 90 percent bluff Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahus own military chiefs would probably refuse to obey him if he ordered such an attack without American support but now it will be simply ridiculous. Which will swing the spotlight back to Israels treatment of the Palestinians.

    Irans economic isolation will also end, although it may take several years to unwind all the economic sanctions. The gradual return of prosperity in Iran will make the current Islamic regime more secure (which may be the main reason that the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, authorised newly elected Presi-dent Hassan Rouhani to negotiate the nuclear deal and end the confrontation.)

    But the big question is whether a nuclear deal with Iran will cool the rapidly intensifying Sunni-Shia conflict that threatens to suck in the whole of the Fertile Crescent and the Arabian Penin-sula. The answer, alas, is probably not.

    The split is as incomprehensible to non-Muslims as the reli-gious wars of Europe four centuries ago were to non-Christians, and mercifully Sunni-Shia hostility has never reached quite that intensity of violence and hatred. But right across the Islamic world it has been getting worse for several decades now, and the eye of the storm is in the Middle East.

    Iran is the sole Shia great power, so it is inevitably the focus of the fears of Sunni Arabs and the hopes of Shia Arabs. Moreover, given Turkeys semi-detached relationship with the region, Iran is in practical terms the greatest power in the entire Middle East.

    For the past decade, Iran has been greatly weakened by the arms and trade embargoes that the West imposed because of the nuclear issue. Once those embargoes are removed Iran will regain much of its former strength. This is already causing great anxiety in the Sunni Arab countries, especially those that face it across the Gulf.

    Even quite experienced people in Washington and other Western capitals dont realise the extent to which the Sunni Arab countries of the Middle East thought that their close ties with the Western great powers gave them a kind of guarantee against Shia power and how betrayed they feel now that they think that guar-antee is being withdrawn.Sunnis outnumber Shias almost ten-to-one in the Islamic world as a whole, but in the smaller world that stretches from Iran and Turkey to Palestine and Yemen, the Middle East, Shias make up more than a third of the population. The war is already hot and quite openly sectarian in Syria and in Iraq. In many other places (Lebanon, Bahrain, Yemen) it is bubbling just underneath the sur-face. It will get worse before it gets better.

    Iran Nuclear Deal: The aftermathBy Terry Bush

    Editorial - Not that anything has changed, but people down Belleville/Trenton/Stirling way used to really bust a gut whenever the conversation rolled around to life north of number 7. And they still do.A lot of Stirling kids, myself included, were a little baffled by all this nonsense. After all, when we lost our high school back in the sixties and were shipped kick-ing and screaming to Centennial, we also found ourselves the butt of jokes by our Belleville contemporaries. The strange part of being the focus of that derision was their choice of names to call us. For some reason, known only to themselves, referring to us as farmers was a real knee-slapper. To many of us, this was pretty much the same as calling Belleville folk, city people; obvious and nothing to get your dander up about.While I must admit some of us from Stirling made jokes about those villages bor-dering, close to or north of seven, we certainly werent malicious. Its not that we selectively showed our disdain for people from Madoc, Marmora, Tweed or Have-lock. We didnt much care for the folks from Brighton, Campbellford or Frankford either. And that was only because we played hockey against them so there was al-ways a bit of carryover from every season especially if one of those towns got the best of us. Unlike our parents, who used to roam around the area going to dances in each of these small towns and had an opportunity to get to know the inhabitants personally, our generation really only interacted on the ice. A different time and an unfortunate loss for us in the greater scheme of things.Joking about the neighbours, however distant, really is a matter of perspective. A young woman from Eldorado once told me Cooper was where all the real hillbil-lies lived. For those who dont know the area, if someone put their mind to it, they could easily travel between the two hamlets on foot and it would be a breeze on a bicycle. Go to Kaladar and theyll tell you the real rednecks and hillbillies live in Barrys Bay, heavy on the Baaa in Barrys. I remember making a comment a couple of years ago after hearing that old joke about what do you call a guy walking along number seven with a sheep under his arm. I said, in all my years of travelling through the north country, I had yet to see a sheep. The response of course was because they all lived in the house with their owners.And now, after years of abuse, the rednecks time has come. Being a redneck is now considered quite chic given the number of shows on American television celebrating the redneck way of life.Duck Dynasty with its ZZ Top lookalikes. Duck Commander. Swamp people. Mountain Men. Are You Faster than a Redneck? My Big Redneck Vacation.Not that I watch any of these shows on a weekly basis but I can relate even though I have to consider myself someone of mixed pedigree with a farmer father and a mother from Toronto. With the recent parade of ATVs and 4x4s passing by the house on the way to or from the hunting camps farther down the road, Im well aware Im not living the complete redneck dream. But I do own an ATV and every spring, my buddies and I take some poor ATV owner from the city to Kaladar and proceed to see how many pond holes we can cross before we get stuck in the middle of one. With Mud Bugs all around and my feet stationed just below the handlebars, I never get stuck, but for some strange reason I find that blub, blub, blub of an exhaust pipe under water quite exhilarating. And to nobodys surprise, most of the city slickers we bring back prefer to ride their quads around the ponds for fear of getting wet, the big babies.While we own a 4x4 truck, it isnt jacked up with huge tires on it, so we arent quite keeping up with current redneck fashion. But in our defense, we do take it off-road when we head into the bush to cut wood and dont mind the sound of pinstripes being painted on the vehicle while brushing against nearby trees. Adds character.Blaze orange and camo. Got it covered. An appreciation for the great outdoors instead of a trip to the mall. You bet. North America versus import? Im proud to say my first car was a 72 Cougar and my truck is a Ford. Couple of GMs along the way for good measure.When I see women or girls wearing pink camo while passing through Marmora or Madoc, I grin. On Saturday, my wife and I both smiled when we passed the Hill-billy Hauler half ton twice on the Spring Brook road both coming and going.I have to say, it almost brings a tear to my eye when I see the local communities along the Highway 7 corridor, coming out of the closet and embracing all things redneck. City folks be damned, its time for some redneck revenge.In fact, its about time someone started to come up with a few south of seven jokes with Belleville as the subject. Im heading to Belleville tomorrow and this farmers son has a few old scores to settle. Got any good jokes.

    My neck aint red but sometimes its close

    Motions rati ed and rejected at Brighton council

    By Ray YurkowskiNews - Brighton - There were winners and los-ers in a urry of motions rati ed, or rejected, at last weeks municipal council meeting.

    Approvals included an amendment to the Council Code of Conduct, suggested by Councillors Tom Rittwage and Emily Rowley to include, No member of council may engage any solicitor on behalf of council without consent of council.

    Councillors John Martinello and Mary Tadman struck out with their request for detailed reports from the sewage treatment plant upgrading and maintenance projects as well as the development of phase one at the industrial park.

    Most of the answers can be found in various reports that have been provided to, reviewed by and approved by council in recent months, said Deputy-mayor Craig Kerr in his address to council. Its not the primary responsibility of members of staff to act as clerical aides to members of council who should maintain

    such records. And, personally, I have had no questions from the public on either of these projects.

    Kerr maintains the information can be found in a combination of original reports, including staff reports, tender documents, contract approvals, budget documents, quarterly nancial reports and monthly accounts.

    The best way to nd out the progress on that project is to go down and have a look, he added. Its absolutely unreasonable to place demands for reports like this on staff when they can be handled by council members themselves.

    But Martinello and Tadman persevered, saying the reports shouldnt be onerous for staff to produce.

    When its out in the public, its there for the people to see, said Tadman. So whats the big deal?

    In a recorded vote, Kerr and Councillors Tom Rittwage, Emily Rowley and Mike Vandertoorn opposed the motion with only Martinello and

    Tadman voicing approval. Mayor Mark Walas was absent for that portion of the meeting.

    A motion from Rittwage and Rowley to remove the council follow-up list from the regular meeting agenda was also turned down. The feeling was the lists could be emailed to members of council and updates could be posted on the municipal web site for public access.

    Why remove something thats working? asked Tadman. Its a good tool, especially for those who dont have computers.

    I believe this tool was put in place for councillors to keep on top of things, said Rittwage.

    Kerr, Martinello, Tadman and Vandertoorn voted to keep the agenda document intact with only Rittwage and Rowley opposed.

    Although, council was unanimous in approving one motion, from Rowley and Rittwage: the municipal New Year Levee will be held on January 1.

    Come celebrate 165 years at Trinity-

    St. Andrews United Church

    Events - Brighton - Trinity-St. An-drews United Church, 56 Prince Ed-ward Street, Brighton, will celebrate its 165th anniversary at the 10:30 a.m. Sun-day service on November 17.

    Heavy rains raise water ows on Trent River downstream of Hastings

    Do you have an opinion youd like to share?

    Write the editor [email protected]

    Northumberland County Lower Trent Con-servation (LTC) Authority reported higher than normal ows on the Trent River downstream from Hastings this week and advised the public to exer-cise extreme caution around all waterways.

    The conservation authority said a signi cant amount of precipitation approximately 50

    millimetres of rain was recorded through the upper reservoir region and the Kawartha Lakes on October 31 and November 1. The resulting strong currents pose a safety hazard to anyone, said a news release issued on November 11. LTC warned, areas around water control structures should be avoided at all times and advised parents and

    caregivers to keep children away from all waterways.

    The agency said critical levels are not anticipated but alerted residents living along the river to expect high water levels for at least the next week as the runoff moves downstream through the lower portion of the Trent River watershed.

    The Trent-Severn Waterway will continue to make operational changes to water control structures to pass the above normal levels/ ows through the system.

    Lower Trent said it will continue to monitor water levels and weather forecasts as part of its ood forecasting and warning program.

  • NO DOUBT CONVERTING MY OIL FURNACE TO GAS PAID OFF WITH $2000 CASH IN MY POCKET BEFORE X-MAS

    And you can too. Let me explain.Heres what happened; upon renewing my Home Insurance recently, I found myself being asked politely if I can change my oil furnace to gas. I know I am not alone. So, doing a little research, I found out that there are many reasons to do so. Let me name a few; 1. Natural gas or propane is reason enough to save on energy, I understand it can be as much as 70%/year as well as provide my family with a very efficient heating and cooling system. 2. Furthermore, the Ont. Power Auth.(opa) allow up to $650 in an incentive program (with eligibility). Then a co-worker told me about Access HVAC in Belleville, ON. They offered him a financing plan under $100/mth with no payments for the first 12 mths (oac). 3. They also provided him with an additional rebate incentive which once combined with the OPA was up to $2000. 4. Ap-parently they converted everything for him the same day. Plus my co-worker had no gas in the area, No Problem, Access HVAC set everything with propane. My wife told me, what are you waiting for, call them now! She said she wants those incentives to help us with X-Mas. They guaranteed us the install before Santa even shows up this year. If I remember correctly, their Guarantee Before Santa Install Program is still available till including December, 2013. My wife found their #, its 613-689-7058. Have a Wonderful Warm Winter as my family will.(OPA: Ontario Power Authority, OAC: On Approved Credit)

    Hospital Foundation raising funds for

    ultrasound machineBy Ray YurkowskiNews - Quinte West - The Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation would like to give emer-gency room personnel a gift this Christmas: a new $60,000 portable ultrasound machine. And the Foundation is hoping you can help.

    In todays world, technology is updating at a rapid pace, says hospital emergency department manager Ruthann Hubbs. Given the machine currently in use at the hospital is almost seven years old, its time for an upgrade. The images from todays ultrasound machines are phenomenal and, more and more, care is being provided at the bedside, so this has become a real important tool in the emergency department.

    Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director Wendy Warner added that

    eight out of ten patients who come in with life-threatening conditions will require the use of an ultrasound so doctors can quickly diagnose and start treatment. And we can do this a lot faster having it accessible right at the bedside.

    Hubbs added, another nice thing about the new version is it has a needle tracking ability. If an injection is required for treatment, the machine can help ensure it gets right to where its needed most.

    Ultrasound is fast becoming a key component in emergency rooms, she added.

    Dont provincial tax dollars fund hospital equipment?

    The government pays for staff and operations, to keep the lights on, but they do not fund capital equipment, explained Warner. All medical equipment is funded by the Foundation and without community support, we dont have it. And that makes it harder for physicians to treat us when we need it.

    The Foundation raises about $1 million every year to make sure the doctors have the equipment they need.

    And this is definitely one of the tools we need here in the emergency department, said Warner.

    She noted, based on Ministry of Health statistics, more than 57 per cent of Brighton residents consider Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) as their primary hospital.

    Given our aging population, when someone is in a crisis this is the first hospital theyre going to come to and this is the first tool the doctors will turn to in figuring out what to do, she said.

    About 35,000 patients come to the TMH emergency department every year, not a lot less than the projected figure at Belleville General Hospital.

    So we need this kind of equipment to keep people moving through, said Warner. The faster we can get a diagnostic, the faster we know what to do. It allows us to reduce those emergency room wait times by having the tools to get people in and out faster.

    Its very valuable to physicians, said Hubbs. There are three ways to donate to the campaign:

    by mail (Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, 242 King Street, Trenton, ON, K8V 5S6), by phone, with credit card information, to 613-392-2540, or online at .

    Organization making headway with plans to preserve lighthouse

    Dave Sharp, marketing director for the Presquile Point Lighthouse Preser-vation Society, on the left, and chair Norm Bastin say the project to restore the 173-year-old tower has been given a boost with the societys new sta-tus as a not-for-profit organization. Photo: John Campbell

    By John CampbellNews - Brighton - Now that the Presquile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society has been incorporated as a not-for-profit organization, its next step will be to secure a memorandum of under-standing with Parks Ontario to repair the damaged tower.

    Thats our number one challenge, Norm Bastin, chair of the society, said. We have to partner up with them or we dont go anywhere.

    Becoming incorporated was like getting a drivers licence, you cant drive

    anywhere without a drivers licence, [so] it was a must, added Dave Sharp, the societys director of marketing.

    The memorandum of understanding will allow us to do the engineering study thats needed to determine what has to be done to fix up the lighthouse.

    The organization currently has $15,000 in its bank account, which might be enough to cover the cost of the engineering study, Sharp said.

    The next phase of fund raising will be for the work itself, which will be significantly more than what has been

    raised to date, but we have no idea what its going to be, Sharp said.

    Rebuilding the landmark is still a ways off.

    In 2015 that lighthouse will be 175 years old, Sharp said. It would be great if we had a work plan in place by then.

    A report done as long ago as 1995 identified the damage being done to the wood-encased limestone structure.

    The number one thing was the moisture problem, Bastin said. Theres not a good flow of air in there.

    The water freezes and displaces the mortar.

    This is the first thing we want to correct, he said.

    Minor repairs have been carried out in recent years, such as filling in cracks to stop the foundation from shifting, Bastin said, and putting some new wood in the window sills.

    Incorporation was one of the steps Parks Ontario and the municipality of Brighton recommended be done when both were approached by the lighthouse preservation society for their backing.

    The provincial agency made a few requests, such as having liability insurance in place, in order for talks to continue, and weve complied with all

    of them, Sharp said. Were planning to have a meeting with them the next three, four weeks.

    Bastin said his organization is prepared to go beyond what the engineering study says has to be done at minimum to preserve it, and it will fund raise for the extra in order to make it above standard.

    That includes replacing the cast iron cupola that was removed years ago because it was so heavy it was interfering with the limestone towers structural support, Bastin said.

    The new cupola will be made with lighter material thats just as strong as steel.

    The project is going to take time, Bastin said, but once its completed, it will be a great thing for Brighton.

    What the lighthouse did for the shipping in the area [was] fantastic, unbelievable, saving thousands of lives of people aboard ships that would have gone down otherwise in bad weather.

    It was very vital, directing vessels into the bay where they could stay over until the storm passed, he said.

    Sharp said probably a very small percentage of the 250,000 people who visit Presquile Provincial Park annually is even aware of

    Corporate Finance changes rules for Home Occupation licences

    By Kate EversonNews - Quinte West - If you own a home business, you need to know what fees are required.

    The Corporate and Financial Services committee approved a staff recommendation to discontinue licensing Home Occupations.

    The purpose of this request is in part due to the Planning and Development Departments comprehensive update to the citys zoning bylaw, and a request

    from the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce to discontinue the licencing fees, notes DonnaLee Craig, manager of Corporate Services.

    In the citys business bylaw, a Home Occupation is defined as any occupation or business conducted for gain or profit as an accessory use within a dwelling house or unit.

    The Chamber of Commerce requested planning staff to contact other municipalities. It was discovered

    that eight of nine municipalities do not license Home O c c u p a t i o n s , but rely on zone regulations.

    Paul Kyte

    asked if home occupations are already incorporated into another bylaw for zoning. He asked if bylaw officers check homes with business signs.

    CAO Charlie Murphy said they do check but the problem is there are different rules in four wards, making it very inconsistent. He said the new comprehensive zoning bylaw out in a couple of months will enforce the bylaw consistently.

    Don Kuntze asked, Why did they start the fee in the first place?

    Charlie Murphy said it started with the former city of Trenton which had licensing in place, while the other previous municipalities had no fee. When they incorporated into Quinte

    the lighthouses existence. But that will change with its restoration and plans that include installing a camera at the top to provide live panoramic shots of the bay and surrounding area online.

    The society has held two major fund raisers to date, a gala in June and a draw during Applefest, that were quite successful.

    In January it will make

    a huge effort to increase its visibility with a membership drive to add to the groups current number of roughly 55 people. The cost is $20 per person, $50 a family.

    The organization could also use a volunteer hand to work on its web site.

    We would have no problem if somebody said they wanted to rebuild the whole thing, Sharp said.

    Corporate Finance changes rules for Home Occupation licencesConintued from page 10

    West they all followed the same bylaw. We didnt know that very few do it this way, he explained. We are recommending it be discontinued.

    Don Kuntze noted that property zoned commercial has a different tax rate than residential and wondered if there would be additional taxes for a home business in a commercial area.

    Murphy said it depends on the size

    Brighton YMCA says thanks

    By Ray YurkowskiNews - Brighton - The Brighton YMCA is inviting everyone to a thank-you celebration this weekend at 170 Main Street.

    From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on November 16, the local Y is showing their appreciation for the support that saved the local tness facility from closing its doors.

    In April, when YMCA Northumberland of cials announced the closing of the local branch, a grassroots campaign gathered petitions and made their case known to municipal politicians. At a public meeting held in May, testimonials from members and endorsements from Family Health Team doctors led to the creation of a working committee. Charged with coming up with a solution, the group included representatives from the municipality, YMCA, Brighton Health Services Centre (BHSC), Family Health Team and YMCA membership. In July, through a unanimous vote, Brighton Council renewed their supportannual funding in the amount of $30,000to the Y for another ve years.

    Were having a little thank-you from the Y because of all the support from the community, said Brighton YMCA membership services co-ordinator Anne Gear. They rallied behind us and we wanted to let them know we are here for ve more years and get them involved.

    With a membership goal of 550 to 600 members for the Brighton location she says interest in the Y has been picking up over the past month.

    A lot more members are coming in

    and signing up, said Gear. Right now the membership roster stands at about 475 and climbing.

    On Saturday, demonstrations of group tness classesStep (11 a.m.), Rip (11:30 a.m.), Cycle Fit (noon) and Zumba (12:30 p.m.)will be on display along with Y Craft and face painting for the kids.

    The of cial thanks, from the Municipality of Brighton, BHSC, local doctors, the Brighton Dragonboat Club and YMCA Northumberland is slated at 1 p.m.

    The Brighton branch is also offering a free two-week trial membership at the appreciation event.

    People can come in, sign up for two weeks, try the Y and see what its all about, said Gear. If they like it, well set them up with a program and get them going.

    As well, the Trim Down with Tom promotion will be launched. Part motivator and part fund raiser, participants can pledge or work out with municipal Councillor Tom Rittwage as he sweats his way to his goal of losing 100 pounds through exercise at the Brighton facility.

    Refreshments will be provided and there are prizes to be won.

    Gear also mentioned a new six-week program, in conjunction with Family Health Team nurses, which will be getting under way in the new year. The nurses will conduct a weekly seminar on various health-related topics, which will be followed up by physical activity program twice a week.

    of the home occupation, which covers a wide range of businesses. He noted that even if you are in a residential area you could be assessed for commercial. It has happened already, he added.

    Kuntze said he personally has a professional home occupation and every two years a property standards of cer shows up.

    Sally Freeman commented, A lot of people are hurt by this, just trying to do a

    small business in their home. Im glad to see the end of the fee.

    Terry Cassidy asked if people still need to ask the city to run a business in their home. Charlie Murphy said there is no licence or certi cate required. Cassidy asked how they would know if they are in compliance with the city. Murphy said they can contact the city. Also if there are any complaints or observations they must be followed up.

    Cassidy said, Let the public know.Murphy said this is just the rst step in

    the process which will include a series of open houses for public meetings over the next couple of month.

    Jim Alyea said many people are left on the honour system and could carry on until there is a complaint. This is a grey area, he added.

    Murphy said everyone is treated the same in the bylaws.

    Brighton Independent - Thursday, November 14, 2013 13

    Events - Local songwriting duo, Andrew Queen and Kar-en Stille, want to share the message that we each have the power to Be the One to help put a stop to bullying.

    During Bullying Awareness Week from November 18 to 22, they will be performing as a duo, The Campfire Crew, at eight different schools in the Kawartha Pine Ridge

    Be the One to stand up to bullyingDistrict School Board. Their inter-active musical concert promotes a positive, inclusive school culture and aims to give kids courage and meaningful language so they can become helpful bystanders. Partic-ipating schools have been provid-ed with a comprehensive resource

    package that includes lesson plans, music, and local author Heather Rankins book, All It Takes is One Friend.

    The couple has just released a music video for their original song, It Just Takes One. The video was a collaborative community project

    as it was crowd-sourced by in-viting the public to send in photos, videos and artwork inspired by the song. Kent Public School teacher Liz Collard spent a week with her Grade 4/5 class designing posters and skits for the project. Collard explains that she felt it was a unique

    and meaningful opportunity for her students. The new video, Be the One to Stand Up to Bullying, can be viewed on their YouTube chan-nel: . For information on their anti-bullying concert, visit their web site at .Joint meeting of advisory

    committees heldBy John CampbellNews - Campbellford - Doctors and nurses together in one room isnt unusual but it was last week when the oc-casion was the first combined meeting of the hospitals nurs-ing and medical advisory committees.

    Chief of staff Dr. Celeste Collins told Campbellford Memorial Hospitals board of directors November 7 she was very pleased with the out-come, although there was nervousness on both sides.

    I really feel very strongly about this, it is really vital for the different disciplines to seek as much common ground as possible because times are un-sure, things are changing, and we cannot function well with-out one another, Collins said.

    Nurses are incredibly valu-able and supportive [and] Ive learned a lot from them over 30 years of medicine, she said. I just feel its time we sat down at least twice a year and discuss

    common issues.Dr. Glenn Gibson said the

    meetings can make things much more efficient in look-ing at problems and coming up with solutions.

    By sitting around a table, the nurses and doctors may be able to get the whole thing done right then and there and save a lot of fussing around, rather than have an exchange of views go back and forth between committees meeting separately, he said.

    Collins said the nervous-ness felt at the first combined meeting will go away the more frequently the committees meet together, and there will be more freedom to speak.

    I love nurses because they have no qualms about saying no, she quipped. Theyre amazing, theyre organized, theyre on timetheyre just fantastic.

    She hopes to have another joint meeting take place in April.

    By Jack EvansEntertainment - Belleville Spending New Years in Vi-enna would be considered a holiday for most people. But for prominent Belleville choir director Rudolf Heijdens, it will be a working holiday.

    Founder and conductor for many years of the Hastings and

    Prince Edward Childrens Cho-rus, Heijdens work has been recognized by prominent Eu-ropean musicians as a result of several trips and performances with his choir in Europe.

    Last summer, during its European concert tour, the Quinte Youth Chorale of the choir (older youth) performed

    Local input for major Viennese concert

    in Salzburg, where they caught the atten-tion of Nicolas Radulescu, a well-known European conductor. As a result, Heijdens has been invited to assist in the annual In-ternational Joint Concert, which involves choirs in both Europe and Japan.

    The concert, Heijdens reports, will fea-ture the famous Beethoven Ninth Sympho-ny, which includes a major choral segment for its nal movement. It is scheduled for December 30 in the Muth Hall in Vienna, opened just last December especially for the world-famous Vienna Boys Choir, at a cost of $21 million (Canadian).

    In keeping with the original score, the concert will be sung in German, but the language of the rehearsal because of the international involvement will be English, Heijdens said.

    My own role will be to prepare the combined groups and the soloists starting December 28, he said. But, he added, he is also looking forward to enjoying the concert, which will be conducted by Rad-ulescu.

    The youth chorus is also preparing for its own concert here in December, and will also be special guests for the Quinte Symphonys annual pre-Christmas con-cert on Saturday, December 14, at 7 p.m. in Quinte Secondary School auditorium.

    That concert will be a tribute to the late Roy Bonisteel, a long-time friend, sup-porter and honorary patron of the sym-phony.

    The concert will also feature an original composition for strings by Belleville area resident Andrew Farmer, who has been a regular viola player in the orchestra since he joined it several
