MONARCH BUTTERFLIES BEGIN JOURNEY TO MEXICO FROM PRESQU’ILE Each fall, Monarch butterflies from Canada begin a 4,000kilometre migration to Mexico. Don Davis and visitors at Presqu’ile Provincial Park tagged and released more than 400 to begin their migration over the Labour Day weekend. Davis, a graduate of East Northumberland Secondary School, is an expert on Monarch butterflies, and a long-standing member of Monarch Watch. He has been tracking the annual monarch butterfly migration for several years. “This is the 33rd year we have been tagging and releasing from Presqu’ile,” said Davis. “All the butterflies were netted in the park or at a nearby farmer’s field. “I usually capture about 100 a day during this time of the year.” Adult monarchs have a wingspan of approximately 9 to 11

centimetres and an average weight of about half a gram, which is about the weight of a paper clip. “We place a tag that has a unique identifying tracking number that lets researchers in Mexico know where the butterflies were released from. “This year I am using the YCE code and I will tag over a 1,000 butterflies,” said Davis. “Last year, we were overall averaging one in every 250 tagged butterflies from Canada being spotted in Mexico and five that were tagged in Presqu’ile were recovered and recorded.” “For many years it was a mystery where the Monarchs went during the winter and the concept of tracking their movements from Canada began with the Urquarts and the University of Toronto. “Together they formed the early Insect Migration Association and their very first meeting See PRESQU’ILE, page 2

was held right here at Presqu’ile to develop this tagging program concept to learn where they went,” added Davis. “Presqu’ile is an outstanding place for projects like this as it is a unique natural environment park.” “Monarchs like milkweeds, wildflowers and clover and flourish where these are plentiful,” said Davis. “Their numbers fluctuate from year to year. Weather or drought can have an impact on their numbers but over the long term, loss of natural habitat is what threatens their numbers the most like it does with birds and

other insects.” When the butterflies arrive in Mexico, they form colonies of about 50 million butterflies per hectare in The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve and remain there for up to five months before starting the spring migration back to the United States and Canada. In 2008, this reserve was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it covers 56,259 hectares. According to the Monarch Butterfly Fund, in the past, Purepecha Indians who live in this region of Mexico considered monarchs the souls of the dead and interrupted their arrival as the an-

nouncement of the visit by the departed, since it coincides with the second day of November, when Mexico celebrates “El Dia de los Muertos” or Day of the Dead. “I am pleased with the interest in helping to release tagged butterflies,” said Davis. “I have met so many people from all over Ontario and Quebec today, from the ages of about 3 to 96 years of age and some families who visit the park every year at this time of year and have returned for this two-day annual event,” he added.

Ask a Dentist ?

Why are Dentists so important?

Well the obvious fact is that with regular dental check-ups, a Dentist helps to keep your teeth and gums healthy. The Canadian Dental Association recommends a visit to your dentist be every six months. This is to maintain the health of your teeth and gums, and it is essential to follow good daily oral hygiene to keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy between visits. A Dentist will carefully examine your overall dental health, as well as your overall physical health. Did you know that Dentists have detected many health issues in their patients that have not otherwise been caught by their physicians? Dentists have saved many lives by identifying diseases such as diabetes, anemia, and even cancer. So, the next time you’re in to see your dentist, ask questions, be informed, and be aware of what is going on in Your mouth.

OPINION EDITORIAL

DON'T LET SEX-ED HIJACK SCHOOL DEBATE School's back, with at least some relief from the uncertainty whirling about the health and physical education curriculum. But by turning back the clock, the new provincial government is in danger of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. In a news release in late August, the government spelled out its plans for a provincewide consultation with parents in advance of implementing a new back-tothe-basics curriculum. There are both positives and negatives in the announcement co-made by Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Lisa Thompson. It's positive the government made its intentions known before the new school year began. And some of the aspects of the curriculum review are well deserving of scrutiny and debate. It's never a bad idea to consult parents (and the rest of the citizenry), but it has to be an inclusive process that guards against being hijacked by a vocal minority. Regarding the list of topics on the government's consult list, there isn't much argument over whether the curriculum should be reviewed to determine if Ontario's schools are doing enough to prepare students with needed job skills. Not every student is suited to go to university. More emphasis and stature should be put on learning skilled trades and new technologies. Most people surely agree that the curriculum could do more to educate students in important life skills such as financial literacy. And the question whether to ban cellphone use in the classroom is certainly worth debating. Discussing how to improve student performance in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics makes sense, especially considering the latest results of the standardized testing released last week. It's also reasonable for the review to include an examination of standardized testing to ensure the results aren't painting a false picture of student performance. In anticipation of changes, the government is making changes to the math curriculum, but the focus on "traditional formulas and memorization techniques" appears vague enough not to complicate things for teachers. Unfortunately that's not the case with the health and physical education curriculum. In a knee-jerk reaction to a few strident sex-ed objectors, teachers are being forced to revert to an out-of-date curriculum from the 1990s. The strides made in including such important topics as mental health, bullying, cyberstalking, sexting and the soon-to-be legalization of pot in the curriculum are being relegated to the back burner because of misguided concerns that discussing gender identity or making babies will scar our children. The school curriculum could do with a review. But people and the government shouldn't allow themselves to be sidetracked into focusing on the sex-ed issue. Despite attracting so much attention, it's only a small part of the equation. Fill in the consultation surveys, attend the town halls and make detailed presentations if so inclined, but don't let apathy give the government an excuse to set a system-wide curriculum only a small group embraces.

LABOUR DAY: IS IT THE NEW - NEW YEAR? UNLIKE JANUARY, ALICIA VANDINE WRITES THIS REALLY FEELS LIKE A FRESH START ALICIA VANDINE Column

September, it's the time to pack up all the white clothing, enjoy the last few days of our warm temperatures and squeeze every second out of the sunshine and short-sleeve weather. It also marks a time of change, we start to see it all around us with the changing of the leaves. It's the time that we put our routines back in place and make new plans. Sure, January 1 may mark the official start of a new year; but for me, it's more about the excitement of New Year's celebrations than an actual new beginning. In fact, there's not a lot of "newness" about Janu-

ary. We are usually exhausted from all the holiday season's activities. It's still winter and doesn't feel that fresh because it's usually cold and often spent dealing with snow and freezing rain. Now Labour Day, that's when I get that new year feeling, like things are actually ready to start. September sees new movies at the box office, new TV show premiĂ¨res; and of course, I always splurge a little on a few new pieces for my wardrobe. Even though I haven't been in school for a long time, for me, September triggers that back-to-school feeling, with a sense of a renewed purpose. I start to look at recipes and walk past the pre-made items at the grocery store. I dig out the crock pot and start making homemade soups and

plan ahead to make healthier meals. I also think of these three words: Pumpkin spice latte. For all the non-coffee drinkers out there, September also means the beginning of all our favourite fall inspired flavours: Cinnamon, apple and pumpkin. The fall is a great time to take advantage of park trails and take in the new fall colours, whether you're walking or biking it's a great way to kick-start new fitness routines. It is a time to naturally begin by setting new goals, starting new projects, trying out new activities or simply getting back on track with health and wellness goals. Is it just me or do you feel inspired to set a New Year's resolution in September too? Alicia Vandine is a freelance reporter with the Brighton Independent.

JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Cramahe Township Clinton Breau wants a seat back on council. He served one term and then lost his bid to be reelected in 2014 so he's hoping it will be a different story this time around. Fuelling his bid to return to council is a desire to help the municipality grow and prosper, he said. Breau doesn't consider himself a "political person" but one who's in touch with what's happening in the municipality at the grassroots level. "I do speak my mind," he continued. "It's really coming from what I see and what I know that our township can be and can do." He's not one for "rubber stamping decisions," Breau said. "I do ask a lot of questions." Breau said Cramahe's tax base "is strained" in terms of high taxes but the burden can be alleviated by making the most of the development land the township has to offer. Breau admitted his electoral defeat took him by surprise. "I was a little overwhelmed by that because I thought I had served the residents of Cramahe well." A key factor was his championing construction of a skate park which opponents argued would be "a fairly costly project that tax-

I wasn't able to get my message across that no ground would be broken until grants and funding" from other sources were put in place. What he learned from the experience is to do a better job of communicating and to make sure "there is no misleading information out there," Breau said. "We don't always have to look at the barriers but the opportunities that we have." Breau has remained active in the community as a

volunteer. He's helped with the Apple Blossom Tyme Festival for 16-some years, and is a past chair of the committee as well as a former secretary and entertainment director. He served on the mayor's task force on economic development which put together a strategic plan that identified the needs of local businesses "and where we might be falling short and where we can capitalize on some of the assets," he said. That led to an advisory committee being formed which he chairs. Breau is also the treasurer for the Colborne-Cramahe-Haldimand Soccer Club and has volunteered with the Castleton Sports Club. Currently the vice-principal at Prince of Wales Public School in Belleville, the 45-year-old Breau will soon begin his 18th year in education. "It's exciting to see the number of candidates running for the various positions," Breau said. There are seven people running for the three councillor spots, including all three incumbents.

COMMUNITY TIES: YARNS FROM THE MILL FESTIVAL SET FOR SEPT. 21-22 Wheels are spinning and plans are being woven together as the date for Castleton's first ever Yarns from the Mill Festival approaches. The festival will be held on Saturday, Sept. 22, in Castleton, with a focus on local heritage, textile arts, storytelling, traditional music and celebration. "Pre-festival" activities on Friday, Sept. 21, will take place at Northumberland Hills Primary School. Every student will engage in a variety of hands-on crafts and exploration, led by professional artists and folklorists. They will also make friendship bracelets, which will give them free admittance to the next day's festival. Saturday's festivities will take place at venues along Percy Street, from the Mill and Mill house grounds, to the town hall, and the United Church. Admission for the day is $5; children six and under are free. The day kicks off with a pancake breakfast from 8 a.m. The festival itself runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a program including goat yoga, horse-drawn buggy rides, workshops, demonstrations, artisan exhibitions, games, a Mill tour, talks and a vendors' market. Live music will be performed on an outdoor stage all day. Demonstrations will comprise a piece of working mill equipment, as well as sheep shearing, carding, natural dyeing, weaving, spinning, felting, quilting and rug hooking. The celebration will incorporate First Nations, settler and immigrant traditions. "As a theme, we want to weave together the stories and skills of our past, centring around Piper Creek and the 180-year-old grist mill, built by the Keeler family," says Candace Cox, festival director. Joseph Keeler brought the first settler families to the Cramahe area in 1805 and his son and grandson were highly influential in the Northumberland and Quinte regions for the next century. "Of course the history of the area goes much further back," Cox adds, "so we are excited to have the award-winning quilts

There will be areas to sit and knit or play checkers along the banks of Piper Creek, while musicians play in the background. "The Mill was once a gathering place," Cox observes. "We hope that visitors to the festival will not just enjoy all we have on offer, but linger and visit with their neighbours while meeting new friends." The Yarns team is looking for volunteers!

ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com Community Care Northumberland is offering a new exercise class in Brighton and Campbellford called Stretch and Strengthen. "This class is designed to help lengthen and strengthen your muscles and increase your range of motion," said Gail Ellis - Community Care Northumberland (CCN) wellness co-ordinator. "This class would benefit anyone new to fitness or looking for some rehabilitation fitness." This class can be done using bands and has the option of adding a chair. Using a chair to stretch provides accessibility for those who need to remain sitting during their program but also provides stability for deeper stretching. "The use of the Thera-Bands adds resistance training, which will also increase metabolic rates during the workout," added Ellis. This class is an opportunity to "get fit" while also enhancing balance and function for daily life. The class is taught by CanFit professional, Anne Newman. In Brighton, the classes will run every Monday from Sept. 17 to Dec. 17, 2018 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the King Edward Community Centre. In Campbellford, the classes will run every Monday from Sept. 10 to Dec. 10, 2018 from 11 a.m. to noon at the Forrest Dennis Seniors Centre located at 55 Grand Rd. The fee is $65. To register for either of these classes call Gail Ellis at Community Care Northumberland, 613475-4190.

HEWTON FAMILY JOINS PACK FOR A PURPOSE TO HELP LESS FORTUNATE ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com

Alicia Vandine/Metroland Bargain hunters flocked to the Bridge Hospice's Giant Yard Sale.

BARGAIN HUNTERS SUPPORT THE BRIDGE HOSPICE ALICIA VANDINE aliciavandine@gmail.com The Giant Yard Sale fundraiser for The Bridge Hospice received overwhelming support from community members, who donated twice the amount of items for this year's event. Organizers had to extend the event an extra day in order to accommodate all the items. "We had so many quality household items, furniture, dishes, tools, sporting goods and collectibles," Ruth Kerr said of the event, held at the Brighton and District Curling Club Aug. 25. "The turnout and support from the community

is outstanding." This is the fourth year for this event and it is organized by Ruth Kerr, with the help of Craig Kerr and many other volunteers. Event attendees were waiting for the doors to open and walked the rows of tables that neatly displayed all the items, picking up bargains in support of the cause. Together they raised just over $4,000 to support the three-bed hospice in Warkworth. "These events are critical to The Bridge Hospice as they help to create community awareness and expand the circle of support that is so important in the

sustainability of the facility," said Craig Kerr, chair of the hospice's fund development committee. A welcome additional feature this year were the lemonade sales by young Lauren Hewton, who raised $64 for The Bridge Hospice and a similar amount for school supplies for children in Costa Rica. For more information about becoming a fundraising volunteer for The Bridge Hospice visit www.thebridgehospice.com or call (705) 924-9222.

Anyone who attended the recent Bridge Hospice Yard Sale saw the lemonade stand organized by Lauren Hewton and her mom, Erin Hewton. Their chalkboard sign explained that they were selling their lemonade to raise dollars to support the Bridge Hospice and also to raise funds for school supplies for students in Costa Rica. "When we travel to Costa Rica, we fill some backpacks with school supplies and pack them in our suitcases to donate them to some local schools for students who need them," said Erin. "We do this through the Pack For A Purpose organization." Pack for a Purpose is a non-profit, based in Raleigh, N.C., that makes it easy for global travelers to donate much-needed supplies to the local communities they plan to visit. Pack for a Purpose lists requested items by country, making it simple for travelers to make a difference on every trip. Since their inception in December 2009, the global travel community has donated more than 86,000 kilo-

grams of supplies to needy schools, clinics and orphanages worldwide. By simply adding a few medical, school, or other requested supplies in their luggage, these travelers have made a big impact. The Hewtons have taken up the challenge to make a difference in Costa Rica. Are you planning a trip? Do you want to make a positive impact on the communities that you travel to and bring meaningful contributions to these destinations?

COMMUNITY

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY CELEBRATES 20 YEARS NORTHUMBERLAND - Habitat for Humanity marks 20 years in the community this month. On June 12, 1998, a group of local volunteers officially founded a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Northumberland County. Many of the original volunteers became the first board of directors for Habitat for Humanity Northumberland and started the organization to help address the need for affordable housing in Northumberland. That same year Habitat for Humanity Northumberland partnered with Cobourg and the Ontario Development Corporation to acquire housing from the former military base along Alexandria Drive to kick off the Beacon Homes project. The project was complete in 2016 when the final two houses, the 36th and 37th houses in the development, were sold to two local families. "The original board members and volunteers that started Habitat for Humanity in Northumberland County brought incredible vision and innovation to the Habitat program from the very beginning," says Robert Gibson, current chair of the board for Habitat Northumberland. "With the first Habitat housing development, they took on 32 lots, most of which already housed existing buildings in need of renovation, which resulted in the first Habitat neighbourhood in Canada. The commitment from the original Habitat leadership to provide affordable home ownership through creative partnerships and housing opportunities established a culture that continues today among the staff, board members and volunteers at Habitat for Humanity Northumberland." Habitat for Humanity Northumberland will mark 20 years in Northumberland County by supporting 10 families either to achieve or maintain affordable home ownership this year. Back in early May, the family of Chris and Christine Sparks was presented with the keys to their newly renovated Habitat home in Brighton. Over the coming year, Habitat Northumberland will also launch a special fundraising campaign for the 20th anniver-

sary and hold several events to celebrate the incredible work being done across Northumberland County. "The Habitat for Humanity program is about the community building a house, a family purchasing that house, and the mortgage payments from the family being invested into the fund to build more affordable homes," says Meaghan Macdonald, executive director. "Over the last 20 years the communities across Northumberland County have demonstrated their commitment to Habitat's belief that everyone deserves a decent place to live. Volunteers, donors, and local businesses have come together time after time to support families on their path to affordable home ownership. We are so excited to be able to celebrate these wonderful achievements this year." Since 1998, Habitat for Humanity Northumberland has helped 54 families achieve affordable home ownership. Habitat Northumberland has partnered with five of the local municipalities, Northumberland County, Alderville First Nation and Ontario to access land and funds to build and renovate houses. Companies, businesses and individuals across Northumberland County have donated funds, materials and labour to support families as they work alongside volunteers to build their dream of affordable home ownership. Donors, volunteers and shoppers at the ReStore have been instrumental in helping the Habitat program. Additional partners including Northumberland United Way and Northumberland County have supported the creation of a home repair program, ReNew It, which has helped 21 families maintain their housing. Visit the website at www.habitatnorthumberland.ca or follow Habitat's Facebook page to learn more about upcoming celebrations and events.

BRIGHTON'S OWN: MASTER CHOCOLATIER MRS. B LORIE BOYCHUK HAS BUILT COMMUNITY'S SWEETEST BUSINESS, VIC SCHUKOV WRITES VIC SCHUKOV Column

northumberlandnews.com

The moment you meet Lorie Boychuk, you are captivated by her pleasant and soft-spoken manner; it's a kind of Doris Day thing. Mrs. B - Brighton's iconic chocolatier - left her hometown of Peterborough at 18. After a few jobs in Toronto, she joined the Air Force as a radar technician. Surprised, I suggested she was a tough little lady, to which she gave me her very natural, sweet smile and replied, "I am a tough little lady. In between radar training, they threw me out into the field to show me how to operate gas grenade launchers and machine guns (laughing). Don't (tell and) scare the kids who come in here." One of the early female radar technicians, she was by then married to a gentleman who was also in the military. After eight years of service, she retired and followed her husband from Winnipeg to Gander, to Alabama, and finally Trenton. "We came to Brighton in 1997 and I started Mrs. B's Country Candy in 1999. I was already selftrained in making candy while

Vic Schukov/Metroland Mrs. B shown here at Mrs. B's. selling Carruthers chocolates here. I was the supplier's best customer so when the owner wanted to sell, he gave me the option to buy his company based in Prince Edward County. I bought it in 2007, and he trained me over several months. When I got comfortable with it, I went to a special school in Montreal for advanced training in chocolate making." There is a huge technical difference between making candies and chocolate: The Belgian chocolate she buys is not what you get in the grocery store. It needs to be

tempered because it won't normally harden upon melting: "You have to take it through specific temperature ranges, like annealing steel. We are very artisan here. I do a lot by hand, no big machines, because I love the feel of hands-on. What's not to love about making chocolates? (laughing). I have over 40 different recipes for just truffles, hundreds of products in all. I actually have a recipe I have been working on for a few years, for a beer truffle, a tough one to figure out. You know that little snap when you sink

your teeth into one of my creations? That's the tempering. And unlike many machine made chocolates, there is no glaze on our chocolates. The shine comes from proper tempering." Mrs. B has a unique philosophy on life: "The way you are as a person is not because of what happened to you but in spite of it. I love my business. It sustained me through the tough times when I lost the two most important men in my life, my father and my husband of 37 years. I love to get up and go to work in the morning, al-

ways creating. Based on flavours, I experiment a lot with the logistics in my head (there's the military person talking). "I have to tell you, I have the best staff of any business in this town. Sandra and Benita really step up for me. And I adore my two students, Abi and Chloe, who help me keep the store open until 8 p.m. every day all summer. I sell to everyone. Sometimes parents bring their kids already dressed in their pyjamas for ice cream and gelato (laughing). Eight weeks in the summer, that's when downtown Brighton makes money. Tourism from the park that has some 200,000 visitors a year." Mrs. B is one smart business woman, a former president of Brighton's Downtown Business Improvement Association. "I wish I could open a Mrs. B's in every place. I am always interested in talking to other business professionals, and many tell me I have a great product, great staff, and great customers. We actually wholesale to other stores. Last Christmas, I delivered our name brand to 11 other stores. We also customize product for wineries like Harwood Estates and Sandbanks, pairing chocolate with wine." Yes, one tough and smart lady. And like her chocolates - sweet. Mrs. B's is located at 7 Prince Edward St. in downtown Brighton.

THINGS TO DO

TRENT HILLS CANDIDATE WOULD OPEN UP NORTHUMBERLAND LINES OF COMMUNICATION WITH RESIDENTS TALENT SHOW GOES JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com TRENT HILLS - Sandra Walls isn't looking to be elected a Ward 2 (Percy) councillor for the sake of change. No, those who vote for her will be doing so for "the sake of progress," who see her as someone who offers a fresh approach and will make a determined effort to find out what their concerns are. Walls, who was born in 1961, already has experience being the people's representative - four years as a councillor in Alnwick-Haldimand Township. "I certainly know what I would be getting into," she said, if she were elected in what will be a second attempt in Trent Hills. Her term on council at Alnwick-Haldimand also made Walls aware of the challenges faced by a municipality that's been formed through amalgamation, as both the township and Trent Hills were. Even though those unions took place more than 15 years ago, Walls said there is still an undercurrent of tension between wards in Trent Hills as to where tax dollars go. "That's how I hear it," she said, which she finds unfortunate.

"You're stronger together than apart, and if we fight among ourselves, we're wasting time and energy when we should be forming a united front. The power is in the people." Another issue for Trent Hills, she said, is ensuring its residents receive all the services that Northumberland County provides. "They certainly are available to Trent Hills, but do people know how to access them? ... Maybe it's better communications (that's needed)." In the same vein, Walls would reach out to residents in various ways to find out what they're thinking. "I know they feel sometimes decisions are being made remotely from them," and they bemoan, "'Did anybody ask us?'" "It's about communication and getting residents engaged," Walls said. She was an employer liaison and employment counsellor at Watton Employment Services until starting her new job this month as administrator of family services and manager of the Salvation Army's thrift store in Campbellford. Her community involvement has included raising money for minor hockey in Warkworth, starting a

Warkworth Block Parent program, volunteering as a host at Aron Theatre, and being a member of Trent Hills Therapy Dogs (she and her greyhound visit residents at Burnbrae Gardens once a week). Walls said she would be a "roll-up-the-sleeves kind of councillor" who throws herself into her work and isn't afraid to speak her mind. She said she's "a team player (who's) an independent thinker." Walls said council "will be a strong voice" for the people in the dialogue that has started about Campbellford's getting a new hospital, and she wants to be part of those discussions, which will include Trent Hills' providing funding for the project.

PARKINSON SUPERWALK RETURNS SUNDAY FUNDRAISER HELPS WITH RESEARCH, ADVOCACY, SERVICES

NORTHUMBERLAND - Parkinson's affects more than 100,000 Canadians, a number expected to increase substantially in coming years, with 25 Canadians diagnosed each day, says Parkinson Canada. And this September, the nonprofit organization is once again asking Northumberland residents to come together in a show of support for those battling the disorder. "Events like the Parkinson SuperWalk enable us to deliver much-needed services within the community and fund research into improved treatments and one day, a cure," said Jon Collins, associate director for events and partnerships with Parkinson Canada. "And this event is very inspiring to those living with Parkinson's and their families when they see their friends and neighbours taking part ..." The SuperWalk returns starting Sept. 8 and will see communities across Canada participating until Sept. 16. Northumberland residents will show their support on Sept. 9 by coming together at the C.R. Gummow Public School in Cobourg. Funds raised help with services, education and advocacy efforts for people affected by Parkinson's and also research. Locally, 71-year-old Heather Sinclair is once again set to participate in the SuperWalk event. This marks her eighth time. Sinclair was diagnosed with Parkinson's nine years ago and says she enjoys seeing people with Parkinson's, their caregivers and friends coming together for the event. Interested participants and supporters for the walk can visit www.ParkinsonSuperWalk.ca, email jon.collins@parkinson.ca or call 1-800-565-3000 ext. 3370. For people newly diagnosed, the walk can help people to start building a supportive network, says Parkinson Canada.
