    INSIDE

    By Ray YurkowskiEvents - Brighton It was a case of too much winter last weekend for organizers of the 20th anniversary and nale of Brighton Winterfest as the region was pounded with driving snow and high winds.

    Early events on Saturday went ahead without a hitch. The Mayors Breakfast at the community centre attracted about 100 hungry diners along with the third annual Rink, Rock and Roll at the curling club and the show went on with a childrens entertainer from Ajax.

    But then, things got much worse as Old Man Winters stormy blast affected the entire region.

    By mid-morning Saturday, Northumberland Ontario Provincial Po-lice (OPP) issued a media release advising snowplows at Hamilton Township and the Municipality of Brighton had been taken off the roads because of severe weather conditions and poor visibility. For safety reasons, police would be responding to priority incidents only

    By John CampbellNews Cramahe Township The municipality will nd out this summer what its policing costs will be for the next ve years but initial indications are that they will drop substantially.

    Thats the current expectation among local of cials, based on infor-mation sessions the OPP held across the province last fall.

    The proposed new billing model for policing, to take effect January 1, 2015, will set a base rate of $260 per household and add to it the cost of calls for service.

    4 Brighton Independent - Thursday, January 30, 2014

    Winter weather puts a damper on

    Winterfestareas. The public was requested to avoid any unnecessary travel until weather and road conditions improved.

    Minutes later, OPP were at the scene of a multi-vehicle collision on the eastbound lanes of Highway 401 near Co-bourg where 30 vehicles, including six tractor trailers, were involved in a series of collisions. Two fire trucks and an am-bulance were also struck, with no injuries reported to emer-gency services staff.

    At the same time, east of Brighton, Quinte West OPP re-ported both east and westbound lanes of Highway 401 were closed from Wallbridge-Loyalist Road to Marysville.

    At 1:30 p.m., Hamilton Township declared a state of emergency due to white-outs, blocked roads and extremely slippery road conditions causing severe safety concerns for workers and residents of the municipality.

    The weather conditions have taxed our municipal roads department resources, read a press release. Additional as-sistance has been called in to support the clearing and clean-ing of roads.

    On Monday, Northumberland OPP reported they respond-ed to 130 collisions throughout the county and municipal roadways from midnight January 24 to 7 a.m. January 27. As well, three police cruisers were damaged as a result of motorists colliding with them while officers were investigat-ing a crash.

    I think we did pretty well to get in what we did, said Winterfest co-organizer Doug Platt who, along with Derek Madder, took the reins from founder Claude Thompson. Platt spent some considerable time on the telephone cancelling later Saturday events and took it all in stride.

    Thats the way Mother Nature is, he said. When asked if this year does indeed mark the final Winter-

    fest in Brighton, Platt cited the lack of volunteers and fund-ing, saying, Its time to do something else but Im sure some of the events will go on.

    But he is determined Winterfest will go out with a bang. The giant bonfire and fireworks have been rescheduled for 6 p.m. on February 1 at King Edward Park.

    LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

    Dear Editor,During the question period

    of the Brighton Council meet-ing on November 18th, 2013, I asked the following ques-tion, In the performance of your duty as a councillor you feel that it is necessary to meet with other councillors outside of regular council meetings? The response from Council-lor Craig Kerr was, I will say that this question is really posed in the same vein as the one, have you stopped beat-ing your wife. If Councillor Kerr did not want to answer the question, he could have respectfully declined to com-ment as that is his prerogative. It is not his prerogative to in-sult citizens with such an of-fensive remark. This insulting comment was completely un-called for and as such I asked for an apology from Council-lor Kerr on December 14th via email. He never responded via email, or by telephone, or at the Brighton Council meeting on December 16th.

    Without a response, I wrote to the Mayor and Councillors and asked for my complaint and apology request to be add-ed to the next council meeting which was on January 20th, as the January 6th meeting had been cancelled. At the start of the January 20th council meet-ing, Councillor Kerr used the Con ict of Interest Act which only applies to pecuniary in-terests to recuse himself from discussing my request. Since my request had nothing to do with money, this was a bla-tantly inappropriate use of the law. Councillor Kerr declared a con ict regarding my request for an apology so that he would not be able to answer questions from other councillors or offer the apology. How can you be a con ict of interest when some-one has asked you for an apol-ogy? Clearly Councillor Kerr stands behind his comment, but why is it so dif cult for a per-son in his position to say I am sorry if my comments offended anyone?

    During the debate, Coun-cillor Vandertoorn supported Councillor Kerr by making the comment that it was too late to ask for an apology, even though this was the rst opportunity since the December 16th meet-ing. Councillor Rittwage did not have an issue with Kerrs comment as he said that it had been in use since the 60s. Coun-cillor Rowley did not make any comments during the discus-sion but voted to support Coun-cillor Kerr along with Council-lors Rittwage and Vandertoorn. It am not sure if it was more shocking that Councillor Kerr scurried away to hide from giv-ing an apology, or that his ac-tions were supported by these three councillors.

    These councillors will not have my vote in the coming election unless they can start showing some respect for the citizens that they supposedly represent!

    Adrian Ellis,Brighton

    Wheres the apology?

    Dear Editor,``I will say that this question is re-

    ally posed in the same vein as the one, have you stopped beating your wife?

    It seems it stems from a movie. I

    Re: Councillor Kerrs refusal to apologize for statement

    didnt know. I am sure many women who have suffered spousal abuse didnt know.

    To take a quote from movies and say it is ok...well con-jure up some in your mind and you will see it is not always ok.

    Stats say 67 per cent of Canadian women have suffered physical abuse at one time in their life. I take offense to Councillor Kerrs analogy and do not understand why it is so hard for him to say, I am sorry I offended you.

    Everyone makes mistakes; all that was asked for was a show of sensitivity.

    I hope the women in Brighton will stand up and ask that Councillor Kerr apologize for his remarks.

    Lynda Chamberlain,Brighton

    In a letter from Paul Whittiker last week, a sentence should have read, Forward to present day where 62 per cent of those employed at OPG make over $100,000 and ten per cent are related to one another or live together, some never bothering with job applications.

    In the paper it said six per cent of those employed at OPG made over $100,000. We regret the error.

    Editorial It has taken a little longer than it did after the 1848 revolutions in Europe, but on the third anniversary of the Egyptian revolution we can definitely say that the Arab

    Spring is finished. The popular, most-ly non-violent revolutions that tried to overthrow the single-party dictator-ships and absolute monarchies of the Arab world had their moments of glory, but the party is over and the bosses are back.

    In many places the Arab revolution-aries had startlingly quick successes at first Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen just like the French, German, and Italian revolu-tionaries did in Europes Springtime of the Peoples. For a time it looked like

    everything would change. Then came the counter-revolutions and it all fell apart, leaving only a few countries permanently changed for the better like Denmark then, or Tunisia in to-days Arab world.

    The disheartening parallels are particularly strong between Egypt, by far the biggest country in the Arab world, and France, which was Europes most important and populous country in 1848. In both cases, the revolutions at first brought free media, civil rights and free elections, but also a great deal of social turmoil and disorientation.

    In both France and Egypt the newly enfranchised masses then elected presidents whose background alarmed much of the population: a nephew of Napoleon in one case, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the other. And here the stories diverge for a time but the ending, alas, does not.

    In France, President Louis Napoleon launched a coup against his own presidency, and re-emerged in 1852 as Em-peror Napoleon III. It had been a turbulent few years, and by then a large majority of the French were willing to vote for him because he represented authority, stability and tradition. They threw away their own democracy.

    In Egypt last year, the army allied itself with former revo-lutionaries to overthrow the elected president, Mohamed

    Morsi and within a few months, after an election which will genuinely represent the wish of most Egyptians to trade their new democracy for authority, stability and tradition, Field Marshal Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will duly assume the presidency. The counter-revolution is as popular in Egypt now as it was in France then.

    And if you fear that this analogy is really relevant, then heres the worst of it. After the defeat of the 1848 revolutions, there were no further democratic revolutions in Europe for twenty years. If that timetable were also to apply to the Arab world, then the next round of democratic revolutions would only be due around 2035. But it probably doesnt apply.

    There is one key difference between the European revolu-tions of 1848 and the Arab revolutions of 2011. The 1848 revolutions were violent explosions of popular anger that suc-ceeded in hours or days, while those of 2010-11 were largely non-violent, more calculated struggles that took much longer to win. Non-violent revolutions give millions of people time to think about why they are taking these risks and what they hope to get out of it.

    They may still lose focus, take wrong turns, even throw all their gains away. Mistakes are human, and so is failure. But once people have participated in a non-violent revolution they are permanently politicised, and in the long run they are quite likely to remember what they came for.

    The most promising candidate to succeed Gene Sharp as the world authority on non-violent revolutions is Erica Cher-noweth, a young American academic who co-wrote the study Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Non-Violent Conflict with diplomat Maria Stephan. A lot of their book is about why non-violent revolution succeeds or fails, but most interesting of all are their statistics about how often it succeeds.

    Their headline statistic is that violent revolutionary strug-gles succeed in overthrowing an oppressive regime only 30 percent of the time, whereas non-violent campaigns succeed almost 60 percent of the time. By that standard, the Arab world is certainly under-performing.

    OPINION Connected to your community

    Gwynne Dyer

    The Arab Spring three years on By Terry BushEditorial - You remember the Newhart show back in the 80s that starred Mary Frann and her sweaters. Im not talking about The Bob Newhart Show which ran in the 70s or the short-lived Bob show which ran in the 90s or the The show that was on in the early 2000s. I made up that last one but theres still time if Bob wants to give sitcoms one more shot.

    The Newhart Im taking about also starred Tom Poston as George Utley, the handyman at Bobs New England inn. I can vaguely remember an episode where the whole town was in an uproar because George was considering cheer-ing for a new baseball team because he was fed up with, and correct me if Im wrong, the Boston Red Sox. While discussing his dilemma with Bob, it was suggested that the Toronto Blue Jays might be worthy of Georges support. George however, didnt think he could cheer for the Blue Jays because, despite the fact that they were pretty birds, they were just too bossy and pushy around the feeder.

    I know how George feels.On any given year, we welcome a wide variety of fine-feathered friends

    to our feeders for a bite to eat. Now with over a foot of snow on the ground, feeding the birds has become a daily ritual. Last year we had all kinds of gold finches, disguised in their somewhat dull winter plumage. We also enjoyed as-sorted sparrows and house finches, a few blue jays, a dozen or so chickadees, some downy and hairy woodpeckers, the occasional grosbeak and even the neighbourhood pileated woodpecker stopped by for a morsel or two. Dropping by on a daily basis were eight red squirrels and a couple of black squirrels. Everyone pretty much got along too. With such diversity, it was almost a joy to wash the pots and pans as most of the activity took place right outside the kitchen window.

    This year we have blue jays ... big fat ones.While I agree with George Utley that they are pretty birds, I could easily live

    without them. At 7 a.m. each morning there are two jays waiting by the feeder. As soon as they see me, they sound the alarm and within seconds, 30 of the darn things arrive to take over the place. Ive tried throwing sunflower seeds off to one side to keep them happy while I put out some finch mix in another location but what do they do? They go and eat all the finch mix and then head over to the sunflower seeds to make sure nobody else gets fed. We throw old kibble out to try to distract them and they gobble it up, eat the finch mix and then eat all the sunflower seeds.

    So, because the feeders are a little boring this year, Ive taken to trying to feed other things. With a winter like this one, everyone could use a little help.

    When my wife Mare had the unfortunate experience of hitting what she thought was a lump of brown snow in the centre of the road, we took that grouse and put it on a trail that a little fox used. Within a couple of days, the grouse was history. When more snow and ice made it even more difficult to forage, I put some kibble in the same location to lend the fox a helping hand. Because it usually dropped by at night, I set up a trail cam to see if we could get some photos. And when I excitedly plugged that card into my computer what did I find ... close to ten blue jays. Even so, I figured it was worth another shot.

    More kibble, more blue jays. When I took the camera down, we were re-warded with a couple of holes that the fox had dug looking for the food it could smell but not see. So I turned my attention to feeding the deer as theyre having a tough go this winter. I set the camera up again in a different location and laid out the deer ration. I was excited when I saw over 200 photos had been taken over two days. That excitement quickly vanished when the computer revealed a dozen blue jays in various stages of flight.

    Trying to solve my ongoing problem, I moved my operation to the middle of a cedar bush figuring there was no way those darn birds would see it; more jays.

    So, thanks to the blue jays, Ive pretty much given up trying to feed any other animals this winter. Im sure at this stage of the game my wife is thinking Im on my way to going a little nuts. Anyone pulling into our driveway would no doubt concur if they caught sight of the crazy person constantly yelling and waving his arms in the kitchen window.

    As the next door neighbour said on Sunday, The blue jays around my place are as big as grouse this year. I said thats because theyre eating me out of house and home.

    Its gotten so bad, Ive almost started to have fantasies about Italians and not the type that look like Sofia Loren. I mean the ones from Toronto we constantly had to chase off our property back in the seventies when they came to shoot anything that moved even blue jays. Im not quite to that point yet but I am so far gone that I laugh when the turkeys show up under the feeders to vacuum everything up. Expensive maybe, but it does my heart good to see something get the best of the blue jays now and then.

    LETTER TO THE EDITOR

    Dear Editor,It has taken the municipalities a very long time to finally

    react to the corruption of the provincial government regard-ing energy costs but it now looks as though the dam has fi-nally burst.

    Both Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Trent Hills councils have come out in protest of the provinces intention of raising hydro costs another 42 per cent over the next five years. This, of course, is just more political strategy in defence of the lib-lefts general mismanagement of the economy and so they can continue to bankroll their now infamous Green Energy Act come hell or high water.

    This Liberal government believes it has the right to use your hard-earned tax dollars to subsidize its plan to build wind turbines and solar panels, which wont even make a small dent in our energy crisis situation for at least another 50 years. However, the Liberals arent really concerned about doubling or tripling hydro costs on seniors or residents on fixed incomes. They seem to be saying let them freeze in their homes during the cold winter months if they are opposed to joining the green generation.

    Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan got the municipal protest campaign going a few weeks ago and now HBM has added its voice to the protest. Macmillan has written to the Ontario Ombudsman to protest the absolutely ridiculous plan

    to skyrocket the hydro rates into the stratosphere. The HBM resolution calls for an independent review of Hydro One and how it operates.

    That review should include the management salary struc-ture and a financial statement showing exactly where all the money goes. Consumers shouldnt just be taken for granted anymore. I want to know, in particular, just how much of our hydro dollars are going to bribe investors into subsidizing wind turbines and solar panel construction.

    Why is it that our representatives provincially and feder-ally are not acting in the best interests of the people who elect them? Hydro One appears to operate basically without scru-tiny or accountability.

    HBM Mayor Ron Gerow summed it up accurately when he noted: We need to take a look at the overall costs of op-erating and providing electricity to the residents of Ontario at affordable rates that are sustainable.

    Its about time to change the old business as usual pat-tern when it comes to an affordable supply of energy in this province. In the meantime, its extremely important for all of the municipalities to keep the pressure on the province to do something useful for the taxpayers rather than acting simply in their own best political interests.

    Rolly Ethier,Campbellford

    Time to revolutionize our hydro system

  • budget reveals the following requests for vehi-cles and equipment; tandem truck ($235,000), sidewalk plow ($140,000), zero turn mower ($10,000), ice resurfacer ($90,000) and cube van ($45,000). By our math that sums up to $520,000 of unsubstantiated vehicle and equip-ment requests. An amount substantially greater than $200,000.

    We stand by our opposition to the expendi-ture of hundreds of thousands of taxpayers dol-lars on unsubstantiated vehicle and equipment requests. We stand by our opposition to hiring additional staff, especially before completion of the municipal services delivery review. Es-pecially when, very recently, Sears announced the layoff of more than 500 staff in Belleville. Especially when many Brighton taxpayers live on fixed incomes.

    If presenting and discussing facts is deceit-

    ful to David, we are very happy that we were able to disappoint him.

    Regarding ambush politics. We believe every member of council has a right and duty to ask questions; especially when those questions involve public safety. We also believe that to describe legitimate questioning as ambush politics is akin to calling legitimate question-ing micromanagement. They are both terms used to impede accountability and transpar-ency.

    The question asked by Councillor Marti-nello involved a Brighton taxpayer who suffers a disability. This Brighton taxpayer had been waiting for a staff reply to legitimate and seri-ous concerns about a public safety issue since October 20, 2013. As it turns out, this Brigh-ton taxpayer received a staff reply to his con-cerns shortly after the January 20, 2014 council

    meeting. That is approximately three months after he first raised his con-cerns.

    We believe it is unacceptable that it takes three months for a Brighton taxpayer to get a response to very se-rious concerns.

    We will continue to work to ensure accountability and transparency in the governance of Brighton. We will do all we can to stop the unnecessary expenditure of Brighton taxpayers money.

    Cramahe could see its police bill greatly reduced in 2015

    The provincial police force estimated the average cost per household under the new system would be $369.

    Thats well below the $504 per household Cramahe currently pays for the $1.2 million its billed annually for policing, based on 2011 census numbers showing 2,378 households in the town-ship.

    At last weeks Cramahe Township

    Police Services Board meeting, Coun-cillor Pat Westrope asked chair Richard Saunders, who attended one of the infor-mation sessions, if the $260 per house-hold figure was firm.

    Saunders said theres a pretty good chance that might change because many municipalities are complaining they will be paying a lot more than they are (now) ... Its not cast in stone.

    Cramahe signed a five-year contract

    with the OPP in 2012 but the munici-pality received notice last month from Minister of Community Safety and Cor-rectional Services Madeleine Meilleur that the agreement will be terminated at the end of this year.

    It will be replaced by a new, simpli-fied billing model based on principles of fairness and transparency that is in-tended to provide cost-recovery in a fair and equitable manner.

    Meilleur said the new billing model was developed by the ministry and the OPP in response to municipal con-cerns expressed across the province.

    The OPP and township officials will discuss policing options for 2015, in-cluding a new contract agreement, be-ginning this summer.

    Westrope said the anticipated reduc-tion in police costs, which consume a quarter of the townships budget, is

    good news. Weve got lots of places that we could put that savings to, theres no doubt about it.

    Saunders agreed its great the costs are going down, because $1.2 million is very high.

    Northumberland OPP Staff Sergeant Phil Pike told the committee January 23 that calls for service are down substan-tially for each of the detachments po-licing contracts across the county.

    LETTER TO THE EDITOR

    Dear Editor,The subject article discussed three issues.

    Our opposition to spending taxpayers money on unsubstantiated vehicle and equipment re-quests, our opposition to hiring additional staff and ambush politics.

    Regarding our opposition to unsubstanti-ated vehicle and equipment requests and hir-ing additional staff. During the citizen com-ment period of the January 20, 2014 council meeting, David Green stated, I had to check Wikipedia to understand the definition of, and I quote, hundreds of thousands of dollars on un-substantiated vehicle and equipment requests.

    Well hundreds of thousands means more than two hundred thousand dollars. I question why these rogue councillors are using Rob Ford math here in Brighton. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Misleading, incorrect, outrageous and certainly deceitful . very disappointing to me.

    We believe the budget is one of the most important issues discussed by council. It tells how taxpayers money will be spent. To a large extent it sets councils agenda. And it is ob-vious that David put some effort into figuring out the meaning of hundreds of thousands. However, a very cursory review of the first draft

    Tooth sensitivity is a very common condition that affects people of all ages. It is estimated that tooth sensitivity, or dentin hypersensitivity, affects approximately 15% of the general population. It is also more commonly seen in individuals aged 20-50 years of age. The causes of dentin hypersensitivity include:

    Excessiveorforceful tooth brushing Gumdisease Aciderosion Dentalbleaching

    In all of the above situations, the dentin of the tooth is exposed either by the receding of gums or loss of tooth structure. Dentinis a part of the tooth that has many small channels that run from the outside of the tooth towards the center where the nerve is contained. If dentin is exposed and these channels or tubules are open, changes in temperature, air pressure or even sugary substances can cause the nerve of the tooth to be stimulated. We experience this as pain. It is usually of short duration and is sharp in nature.

    Treatment for sensitive teeth

    The best treatment for dentin hypersensitivity is preventing the causes of

    sensitivity from occurring inthefirstplace.Preventionincludes:

    Using a soft bristletoothbrush with a non-abrasive toothpaste

    Avoidconsumingvery acidic foods and beverages IfyousufferfromconditionssuchasGERD(acidreflux),seeyourdoctor for treatment Avoidbrushingyourteeth immediately after consuming acidic foods Regularflossingcoupledwith regular visits to your dentist to prevent gum disease

    If you have already encountered dentin hypersensitivity, there are two categories of treatment that can be helpful, hometreatmentandin-officetreatment. Home treatment includes brushing with a desensitizing toothpaste. In-officetreatmentincludes:

    Applicationofadesensitizing agent on sensitive teeth Coveringtheexposeddentinwithafillingmaterial Useofdentallaserstodesensitize the nerve Growinggumtissuewhere it has receded

    If you feel like your teeth are more sensitive to hot or cold foods or to certain types of food, see your dentist about what may be causing this. Your dentist can provide you with different options on how to treat this condition or, at the very least, guide you towards preventing any further damage to your teeth and gums.

    Are your teeth being too

    Sensitive?

    By Ray YurkowskiNews Brighton The bot-

    tom line, after Committee of the Whole second draft

    Next month the Brighton Arts Council gallery, at 28 Main St., is featuring East Northumberland Sec-ondary School student artwork. The special presentation portrays a glimpse of local history with a selection of 20 freehand sketches of downtown architecture. The challenge, says ENSS teacher Ang Young, was these were drawn without rulers or pencils, just black ink directly on paper. While the originals are not for sale, numbered prints will be available to the public for $10 each. The opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on February 6.

    Brighton Arts Council presents

    Brighton council completes budget deliberationsmunicipal budget delibera-tions last week: ratepayers are looking at a 3.23 per cent municipal tax increase. But it gets better.

    The blended increase to a tax bill, when you factor in education and Northumber-land County, is 2.38 per cent, says Chief Administrative Of cer Gayle Frost. At the conclusion of the rst draft budget meeting in December, the committee was looking at 10.12 per cent increase for municipal taxpayers.

    It appears (municipal) staff has been very busy since the last time we met, said meeting chairperson Deputy Mayor Mike Vandertoorn, as he opened the three-and-a-half hour proceedings.

    Since the last time they met, there were two more requests for support from the National Air Force Mu-seum of Canada ($4,000) and the Brighton Curling Club ($2,200).

    Were in a really tough position right now, said Vandertoorn. To be adding new asks right now is dif cult at best. After some discus-sion, both were turned down.

    The committee did reverse their earlier stand on a few local requests and the good

    news is they wont have a direct effect on the tax rate. The Beacon Youth Centre ($2,500); Sunny Days Sum-mer Camp ($2,000); and curl-ing club rocks for the junior program ($500) will all be supported through the Youth Initiative Fund. As well, the Guardians of Presquile Bay ($1,000), denied in the rst round of talks, is back in the budget, albeit for a fraction of their original request. And even then, not all were con-vinced.

    Im curious, said Mayor Mark Walas. The bay is not municipal property and part-nering in something like this, are we going somewhere where we shouldnt be?

    Im concerned a small cheque is going to open a big can of worms, said Council-lor Emily Rowley. I would like to wait, get some results from the initial testing, and then, maybe, reconsider.

    A big part of the challenge in juggling the municipal numbers is external budgets, which are driving the increase on the 2014 tax bill more than $220,000. Along with a $121,000 decrease in the Ontario Municipal Partner-ship Fund and losing $7,200 in payments in lieu of taxes

    for federal and provincial properties, the Ontario Provincial Police contract is up more than $25,000 over last year along with the Chamber of Commerce ($19,185); public library ($18,300); the new ve-year agreement with the YMCA ($11.500); and others such as Lower Trent Conservation Authority, Quinte Access, Pine Ridge Municipal Planning Agency and cemeteries ($11,200). The committee got creative when it came to the Campbellford Hospital request for $15,000. Half will be supported by the taxpayer while the remainder will be taken from a health services reserve fund.

    All of the external agencies that de-pend on us or ask us for money are deal-ing with the same economic pressures were dealing with, said Frost. They come to ask for increases and some are very big.

    But capital spending in Brighton is down, almost $60,000 from the amount in 2013 and that is a concern.

    It really is going in the wrong di-rection, Frost advised the committee. Youre really sacri cing your own infrastructure to help others look after theirs. I understand their needs and their asks, but were dealing with the same economic pressures.

    Were at slightly over one per cent in internal spending, she said, as the meeting wrapped up. The rest are ex-ternal pressures.

    And that didnt sit well with Brighton resident David Green.

    At one per cent in internal depart-mental spending, youre missing the

    boat, he told the committee during question period. You are just prolong-ing the agony and youre delaying the inevitable. We need more evidence of where we are moving forward in in-frastructure. This is a great budget and you can pat yourselves on the back, but somewhere down the line we are going to have to pay the piper. Its not enough.

    Another Brighton resident, Wayne Jefferson, agreed.

    I rmly believe we have to put mon-ey toward infrastructure, he said. As a council, youve got to stand up and youve got to take the heat this year.

    I would have to agree, said Vander-toorn. We are falling behind by an ad-ditional $60,000 on top of what weve already fallen behind in previous years, so its compounding.

    Hopefully, we hear that message loud and clear during the public meeting because there is still time to revise our numbers.

    You get what you pay for, offered Rowley. If you pay nothing, you get nothing.

    The issue is courage, Councillor Thomas Rittwage concluded. Who here has the courage to tell the taxpayer that were not going to hold the line and will actually have to increase it to move forward? A lot of people around this table listen only to the people who say, hold the line.

    Taxpayers still have a chance to have their say; at a public meeting at coun-cil chambers, 35 Alice St., beginning at 6:30 p.m. on February 19.

    (WEATHER PERMITTING)

    Brighton Independent - Thursday, January 30, 2014 11

    By Ray YurkowskiNews Brighton The re department, ve-hicles and infrastructure were the big items on the agenda last week as the Committee of the Whole debated the second draft of the 2014 budget.

    When the topic of the re department came up, Chief Administrative Of cer Gayle Frost pointed to the Fire Master Plan, which suggests that the local focus is more on ght-ing res than protection and prevention. Last month, during the rst round of budget talks, some councillors were opposed to hiring a Deputy Fire Chief to take on that job.

    We, and the Fire Master Plan, strongly recommend this position, advised Frost. Down the road, you will see great savings from this. If you dont have res, you dont send your remen out and volunteers only get paid for the hours they work.

    Councillor Emily Rowley agreed. I think proactive serves us much better

    than reactive, she said.Im not saying no to the (Fire) Chief,

    said Councillor John Martinello. But I have never heard there is an issue with education and re prevention training.

    Mayor Mark Walas wondered if having an approved Fire Master Plan on the books puts the municipality in a position for potential li-ability.

    I think you would be in a much better po-sition if you can demonstrate you have been proactive in getting the study done and are working toward implementation, said Frost. If we dont want to change, thats coun-cils decision, but for Gods sake stop doing studies because they are going to tell you to change.

    And there have been more than a few in

    this term of council, including the Asset Management Plan, the Development Charges Study, the Fire Master Plan, Accessibility Plan, Storm Water Management Master Plan, King Edward Park Master Plan and Commu-nity Development Plan.

    After much debate, the new Deputy Fire Chief position was back in the budget.

    When a recommendation for municipal staff to take on septic system inspections was proposed, Martinello balked, saying, Were constantly told that staff is already overworked and overstressed, to add another function doesnt seem consistent with what I hear.

    Notably, one of the inspectors already on staff is certi ed to do the work and the pro-posal would provide revenue, an estimated $20,000 annually to the bottom line.

    This is a good, solid recommendation and its an insult to staff, countered Frost. I with-draw the recommendation. We should contract it out and pay somebody else to do it.

    Does contracting it out remove liability to the municipality? wondered Walas.

    No, answered Frost. Its the same as plumbing inspections and weve received a legal opinion on that. As a matter of fact, we were sued for an inspection Northumberland County did.

    The committee approved a request from the public works department to replace a 2004 Sterling tandem truck, which was modi ed from coming directly out of municipal taxes to borrowing the money to cover the cost.

    Repair costs are rising, said Public Works Director Andrew Drzewiecki. Over the past four years, almost $38,000 and, through the whole life of the truck, more than $85,000.

    Of note, the Asset Management Plan, re-cently approved by council advises about 58

    per cent of the municipal eet of vehicles has met or exceeded their estimated service life.

    What its saying is almost 60 per cent of your eet should be replaced, Frost told the committee. Next year, its going to be higher and, sooner or later, were going to be in big trouble. We recognize that is just not going to happen this year, so were going to start phasing it in and were working on a long-term nancial plan. Weve got to start somewhere.

    In addition, she said, the plan told you, in order to deal with the infrastructure de cit were leaving to our future ratepayers; you should be increasing taxes annually by 4.25 per cent through the next ten years.

    Some savings ($106,000) came with the deferral of resurfacing projects at Stoney Point and Shoal Point Roads. Drzewiecki also advised the Young/George Street proj-ect cannot be completed in 2014 thanks to an unsuccessful bid for support through the provincial Small, Rural and Northern Mu-nicipal Infrastructure Fund. A letter from the Ministry of Infrastructure advised, with almost 350 expressions of interest received, Brighton did not pass the pre-screen primar-ily because other applicants with highly criti-cal projects had more challenging economic conditions.

    We continuously dont make the cut, said Frost. And the reason is because we have low tax rates and low debt.

    Sooner or later though, we will make the cut because our tax rates and our borrowing are going to have to go up.

    To underscore that point, the second draft 2014 budget, as presented last week, increases long-term borrowing by more than $844,000 and reduces reserves by more than $608,000.
