Savage coyote attacks on pets leave residents in fear By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – In the wake of a recent coyote attack on a family’s pet dog, residents of the Huron Drive neighbourhood say they’re “living in fear.” The Jacob family is heartbroken, having lost “a member of the family.” “Eddie was about 18 pounds, but he was no pushover,” said Jehnna Jacob, who lives with her husband Zack and their two-year-old son, Samuel, at 20 Huron Drive. Eddie was a Jack Russell mixed breed. “He was healthy, strong and I think he thought he was protecting us – he was protecting us,” Jehnna said. The attack occurred on Monday, Aug. 29, around 1 p.m. Jehnna had just arrived home with her son from grocery shopping. Jehnna said Eddie must have known something was wrong, because he snuck under the gate to get into the backyard – that’s when he was “ambushed” and the animal, possibly a coyote or coyotehybrid, killed Eddie. The Jacobs’ neighbour, Sue Pratt, who lives at 22 Huron Drive, saw everything. “I saw him wrestle Eddie to the ground,” said Pratt. “It was horrible, I can’t get the picture out of my mind and it all happened so quickly.” Pratt raced over to her neighbour’s (Left-to-right) Debbie Sparks and Sue Pratt are scared to walk their dogs in the Huron Drive neighbourhood now, after a recent coyote attack re- home. sulted in the death of a family’s pet dog.

Jehnna had already grabbed Samuel and ran after Eddie right away, but by the time they made it from the front of the house, to the back, Eddie was gone, “just like that.” Pratt had to inform Jehnna of what she had seen. “Eddie was 13-years-old and a member of our family – he’s the reason I met my husband,” said Jehnna. “I’m eightand-half-months pregnant and I’ve spent the last three days crying. This could have been Samuel, my two-yearold son who wanted his Tonka truck out of the shed – something has to be done. This is a residential area.” Jehnna’s husband, Zack, who’s a trained hunter, spent two days searching for Eddie, until he found his remains. Pratt has lived on Huron Drive for 28 years and this is the first time she’s been afraid to go in her fenced-in backyard with her dog, she said. Pratt doesn’t venture too far now for walks either, maybe to the corner of the street and back with her dog. “I’m just constantly turning my head when we’re out,” she said. “I’m absolutely terrified he’s going to run up from behind and take my dog right off the leash.” Debbie Sparks, another resident of Huron Drive, is worried “what’s next? Little kids in the neighbourhood park?”

Savage coyote attacks on pets leave residents in fear Coyote smarts – a primer To prevent and manage conflicts with coyotes, wolves or foxes in the community, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry offers some suggestions. If you see a coyote, wolf or fox, people should keep their distance and “the animal will most likely avoid you,â€? the ministry reports. If you encounter an aggressive animal: • Don’t approach or try and touch the wild animal, back away while remaining calm. Don’t turn your back or run from the animal. • Stand tall, wave your hands, and make lots of noise. • Carry a flashlight at night. • If a wild animal poses an “immediate threat or danger to public safety – call 911.â€? • Use whistles and personal alarm devices to frighten an approaching or threatening animal. To make your property unwelcome: • Use flashing lights, motion sensors and noise-makers. • Put up a two-metre high fence that extends at least 20 centimetres underground. • Install a roller system to the top of your fence so animals can’t gain a foothold. • Properly store and maintain garbage and composts, to prevent coyotes from becoming a problem. Placing trash bins inside an enclosed structure discourages also the presence of small rodents, which are important food sources for coyotes. • Coyotes are also attracted to waste products containing meat, milk and eggs. • Clear away bushes and dense weeds, where coyotes may find cover and small animals to feed on. To prevent conflicts with dogs: • Keep dogs inside at night. • Clean up after your dog – coyotes are attracted to dog feces. • Spay and neuter dogs – coyotes are attracted to and can mate with domestic dogs. Furthermore, people should never feed coyotes: • Feeding them makes the animals less fearful of humans and this “habituates themâ€? to food provided by humans. • It’s unusual for coyotes to show no fear of humans – coyotes displaying no fear or exhibiting aggressive behaviours have likely been habituated to people through direct or indirect feeding, such as leaving attractants like pet food outside near homes. • Cases of attacks on dogs are often tied back to feeding, it’s reported. • In these situations, this aggressive behaviour tends to be restricted therefore to a single animal or family group, and not the general population. • Although “unusual,â€? coyotes in urban area may search for food during the day and may prey on small dogs and other pets from yards in residential areas and from green spaces

Mayor’s Lighthouse Bike Ride wheeling ahead for Sept. 24
By Sarah Hyatt
Brighton – Come September, summer may be over but Brightonians can still get active and enjoy the outdoors, says Tom Kirkwood. The organizer of this year’s Mayor’s Lighthouse Bike Ride is encouraging local residents to get active at this year’s Applefest and participate in the ride. He’s inviting Brightonians to join him and Mayor Mark Walas on the scenic 25-kilometre trip through the town. “This really is about raising some awareness surrounding healthy living,” said Walas. “We’re inviting cyclists of any group to come out and I’m personally looking forward to it.” Walas and Kirkwood are both anxious and hopeful this year’s event will reach a new high with more
than 35 riders. The ride begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Municipal town office, at 35 Alice St., on Sept. 24, during Applefest. It’s an early start, but well worth it, says Kirkwood. Riders will join Walas and Kirkwood and make their way through town, down to Presqu’ile and the Lighthouse and loop back into town. On average, the event each year attracts about 20-30 cycling enthusiasts and a few recreational riders, said Kirkwood. This year, however, the organizer is eager to promote more youth and family involvement. The event stands to promote physical fitness and healthy living, but also community inclusion, explained Kirkwood. In other words, Kirkwood is eager to get the message out there – this

Kruger Products expansion brings dozens of new jobs for Quinte West
By Sarah Hyatt
Quinte West – A loan of up to $10 million through Ontario’s Jobs and Prosperity Fund is helping a local manufacturer to create and protect jobs and will support “a multi-million dollar expansion.” MPP for Northumberland-Quinte West, Lou Rinaldi, delivered the news publicly at Kruger Products, on Wednesday, Aug. 31, that the province would partner with the Trenton plant and “away-from-home site.” Several local dignitaries, including Mayor Jim Harrison, Quinte West city councillors, Brighton Mayor Mark Walas, and Chris King, the CEO of the Quinte Economic Development Commission, to name a few, were also in attendance to celebrate the “significant investment” for Quinte West and the region. The loan will help the company to expand its commercial division and to boost its market share in the United States. In other words, Harrison says the Trenton company is looking at essentially “tripling its employees.” Installation of state-of-the-art equipment and the set-up of eight new production lines are key highlights of the project, which Kruger Products is investing more than $50 million in. The partnership will help to create 119 new jobs and to retain 184 positions. The goal is for the expansion to

Pilot transit service has few riders but agency making plans to increase numbers By John Campbell
The cost is $5 each each way and includes one transfer in Trenton. Trips just within Brighton cost $2. Most of the ridership is between Brighton and Trenton but there are some in the Gosport area who travel uptown to go shopping, Ackers said.
Brighton – Although the numbers show the public transit system launched as a sixmonth pilot program in February is “not overly used” by Brighton residents, Quinte Access Transportation isn’t ready to pull the plug on it. With just six to eight people using the service regularly, the agency will be “talking to people to see about increasing the ridership,” administrator Shelly Ackers said. “Do we need to look at any tweaks to the system to make it a little easier to access?” One way it plans to get feedback is to do “some sort of survey ... once the summer heat’s over because that didn’t help a lot with it being so hot,” she said. There are seven stops within Brighton on the bus route. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, passengers in Brighton are picked up in the morning, beginning at 9:15 a.m. and taken to Trenton; the return trip home is 1:45 p.m. On Monday and Friday, the bus runs later, starting at 12:15 p.m., with the trip back to Brighton scheduled for 3:45 p.m. Trenton East Those travelling to Trenton are 29 Bay Street dropped off at Wal-Mart, where they 613-394-2433 can connect to the local transit system.
“The ones who are using it absolutely love it, they’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time,” she said. They “tend to be people who don’t have their own transportation and they’re thoroughly enjoying it, and make good use of it.” Please see “Transit” on page 9

Murder at the Brighton Barn Theatre – along with a few laughs By John Campbell Brighton – Comedy is king at Brighton Barn Theatre but its next production is a thriller that uses laughs to break up the suspense. The Murderer in the Mirror is the third play to be directed by Sharron McCann that was written by Canadian playwright Peter Colley. It’s a tale about twins, one of whom, Michael O’Neill, was sent to a mental institution for a murder he committed at the family cottage in northern Ontario. His brother Sean has decided to sell the property and is there with his new wife when Michael, who fiercely
opposes the sale, escapes from the institution and heads toward the cottage. The question presented members is whether Michael has taken his brother’s place or has Sean become affected by the same madness that afflicted his brother. “For the past couple of years we’ve found that comedy sells, but you get to a stage where if you do nothing but comedy it limits your artistic expression,” said Arthur Middleton, Brighton Barn Theatre’s president and technical director, and the show’s producer. “We decided we would take a break from the straight comedies,” he said,
because McCann, who has directed close to 10 plays at Brighton, including two written by Colley, I’ll Be Back Before Midnight and When the Reaper Calls, liked this one by Colley as well. He’s “one of my favourites,” McCann said, and The Murderer in the Mirror has “a lot of excitement.” The cast features Barn veterans Nikki Parks and Brian McLaughlin as the owners of a marina near the cottage, and Holly Carroll as a psychiatrist. Making their Barn debut are Ryan Ezekiel and Bri-
anna Hertendy, as Sean O’Neill and his wife Dale. McCann said audience members are “are going to be thrilled” by the play which includes “spine-tingling effects” and builds to an unexpected climax. There’s “a lot of tension but there will be some laughter along with it,” she said. Alistair Thomson, assisted by Deb Hizsa, has designed music for the pro-

Middleton said “a lot of work has gone into making” the set “absolutely beautiful ... The audience is going to be impressed by it.” Brighton Barn Theatre has almost completed an upgrade of its sound system with the help of a $5,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Brighton and a grant of close to $1,000 from the Eastern Ontario Drama League. McCann, a Cobourg resident, said she enjoys working at Brighton Barn Theatre. “Every time I go it’s like getting together with a group of friends,” she said. “And I always tell my cast that the main objective is for us to have fun because we’re all getting the same pay.” She also reminds them to thank the people behind the scenes because Brighton has “an outstanding crew.” Ten performances are scheduled. Eight are in the evening, starting at 8 p.m. -- Sept. 23, 24, 29, 30, and Oct. 1, 6, 7, 8 – and two are matinee, beginning at 2 p.m., Sept. 25 and Oct. 2. All tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the box office at Proctor House Museum, which is open from 1 to 4 p.m., or by calling 613-475-2144.

Rep by pop threatens democracy Editorial by Jack Evans Comments by Hastings County Warden Rick Phillips at a recent meeting bear serious consideration by everyone. Phillips was reporting on a provincial conference at which he got the impression from senior Ontario officials that problems rural Ontario have been facing for some years will just simply have to be dealt with at the local level. Phillips concern was, “It seems we now have two Ontarios – rural and urban.” The kinds of problems involved are the sort that might reasonably be expected to draw senior government interest and support. But such is not forthcoming. At a time when much attention I being focused on doing away with the “first past the post” system to enhance democracy, one might also suggest a serious second look at representation based on population. Commonly referred to as “rep by pop,” it has been a cornerstone of democratic systems for many decades. But in today’s society, it means power and government involvement and contributions are focussed increasingly on large urban areas, leaving rural Ontario and also rural Canada to shift for themselves. Meanwhile, rural ridings become fewer and larger, making it increasingly difficult for local representatives to serve their ridings and to keep their fingers on the pulse of remote rural areas. Yet serious challenges face these areas – environmental, habitat for wildlife, properly controlled and monitored development, wetlands protection and enhancement and source water protection, need for economic and population growth to maintain local schools, roads and services of all kinds. It costs as much to build a kilometre of road in Hastings County as it does in the Golden Horseshoe. Spreading that burden, along with policing costs and more, over a sparse population of only a few hundreds in many cases, has become a crushing burden. Meanwhile, as has been noted at county council meetings, some rural business and industrial ventures are looking for improved electrical and natural gas resources

to continue or expand. Again, Ontario officials turn a deaf ear. They completely overlook the facts that their food supply comes from the rural area, so too does a large chunk of the province’s gross domestic product from tourism, mining and forestry. This situation is quickly leading to rural Ontarians becoming ipso facto second class citizens. It is difficult to take seriously any threat to our freedom and rights from the first past the post system. It at least helps maintain accountability. But the concept of rep by pop is now turning against us and poses are far greater and direct problems to many thousands of rural dwellers of all ages. If Canada and Canadians are serious about reviewing our democratic system, we should start with the key problem and find a way of getting a fair share of senior government resources to all parts of the province and country. This, in turn, would lead too healthier, happier people in both city and country. Other unfair situations impacting rural Ontario have been raised in recent months by the regional health unit and by municipal members of county council. Examples include inability to apply for senior government grants for lack of staff to find time to fill in such complex forms, or even to understand them properly. Health unit officials have often complained that the rural areas have a bigger need for public health programs because of lack of education, lower incomes, more substance abuse and more people with health problems. The goal here should be to ensure that all residents of Ontario and Canada, both rural and urban, have access to a fair share of the central revenues of provincial and federal governments. This would be of far more value to more Canadians than a few more members of parliament, from urban or any other kind of areas. The only way to achieve this is to restore some political clout to the rural ridings in numbers. Rep by pop has outlived its usefulness.

Storm, drought double whammy for monarch numbers By John Campbell Brighton – Nature has been rough on the royals this year. The number of monarch butterflies wintering in Mexico “was initially very good,” butterfly tagger Don Davis said -- until more than four hectares of forest covered with the magnificent winged insects were hit by a storm in early March. “That killed a lot of monarchs, so we’re really not sure how the season’s going to go,” he said Sept. 3 while at Presqu’ile Provincial Park for his 31st Monarchs and Migrants Weekend. Add to that conditions in Texas not being ideal for reproduction and the drought that has prevailed through most of the summer, “it’s a bit of wait and see,” Davis said. The citizen scientist had “to do quite a bit of work” in the days leading up to the weekend to find specimens for his annual tagging Six-year-old Mimi Carment, of Ottawa, was delighted to be given a mon- demonstration. arch butterfly to release.

“If you are fortunate enough to find areas that are a little lusher, a little moister then you’ll find some critters but teachers and others are going to do a fair bit of hunting this year to find monarchs and caterpillars for their classrooms.” Davis said Presqu’ile might be seen as “a barometer” for what monarchs are experiencing, “because the dryness is extended throughout Northumberland County and further east.” The need to create and preserve habitat “that Don Davis, aka Mr. Monarch, was back at Presqu’ile Provincial Park for his 31st Monarchs and Migrants benefits not just mon- Weekend, fascinating onlookers with his tagging of the butterflies which he then allowed to be rearchs but all sorts of other leased by youngsters in his audience.

her dining room table and eventually had to have a studio built to keep up with the demand. She was teaching at different shops when a sales rep from a big paint company discovered and hired her for conventions. There, in turn, she was discovered by a national magazine. For the next 20 years, her designs were published (more than 50 times) across North America. One year, she made the front cover five issues in a row. In 2005, she moved to Maynooth, and took up quilting with the Trent Valley Quilters Guild. Ever thinking outside of box, she joined the Bancroft photography club and won first prize in a contest. Three years ago, Lafferty and her husband John moved to Brighton. Lafferty says, “Growing up in Toronto, I spent summers at the family cottage. I was a city girl with country in her from the get-go. Brighton is perfect in location and culture, and where I want to be for the rest of my life.” She sings too: “I grew up in a musical family that sang around the kitchen table. Music makes me happy. Having a down day? Throw on some music.” Her love of bright colours is an extension of her positive nature. She says, “I live for each day, to be happy and make other people happy. My glass is not half-full. It’s overflowing. (She

Like the flowers in my garden, I am happy where I am planted and I am not done blooming.” (Brighton resident Vic Schukov is a long-time journalist and writer of biography books for everyday people.

Province helps ENSS and other schools with upgrades berland-Quinte West, announced Wednesday, Aug. 31, students across Brighton – An increase in repair and the riding will start the school year off renewal funding from the province is with better buildings and learning benefiting some local schools. facilities, as a result of “extensive MPP Lou Rinaldi for Northum- repair and renewal work,” complet-
ed over the summer by local school boards. On Aug. 31, the MPP visited both East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) and Burnham Public School, in Cobourg, to catch up on some of the latest projects. “A lot of the schools are in need of revamping and repairs,” says Rinaldi. “We can’t fix everything all at once, but this is a good start and a good chunk.” In June, the province increased its two-year investment in local repair and renewal funding to $686 million. “So we’ve added an extra $297 million, with the hopes we can help schools keep up with the curve,” said Rinaldi. For ENSS, the increase in funding means revamped, “state-of-the-art” science labs and electrical and mechanical upgrades. Charlotte Filip, the new principal for ENSS, says it’s been an exciting summer and she’s eager to have students in the new labs and have learners engaged. “Science has evolved over the last ENSS staff, officials, and representatives from the KPRDSB, with MPP Lou Rinaldi, celebrate an in- 10 years,” she noted. “These new labs will offer students the handscrease in funding, which has benefited the local high school.

erything – from new floors, paint jobs, desks, to new equipment and technology. Most of the work is already complete. Rinaldi is hopeful students will have “a renewed sense of excitement,” when it comes to fall curriculum now. Rinaldi had four children who attended ENSS and believes the school is one of the most “renowned” in the region. He’s looking forward to seeing more of what students can do, he added. The Ministry of Education is providing the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPRDSB) about $37 million over the course of the next few years. Across the province, Ontario increased investments by $1.1 billion, which means in total; about $2.7 billion will be allocated to help improve school conditions. The additional investment addresses the Auditor General of Ontario’s recommendations in 2015, to increase investment in school renewal to 2.5 per cent of school’s replacement value and to direct two-thirds of infrastructure investment for new construction. More than 2,000 schools will benefit with repair and renewal projects valued at $100,000 or more and others, will receive aid for smaller projects. “We know that an up-to-date and

safe learning environment provides the best chances for success,” says Cathy Abraham, chairwoman for the KPRDSB. For the region, the increase in funding amounts to about $12 million for this year. And while some of the heating, air conditioning and ventilation, electrical and mechanical repairs are a “little less glamorous or exciting,” those repairs and improvements are needed too, to ensure safety, and a clean and up-to-date learning environment, explained Abraham. Elsewhere in the area, Burnham Public School and Percy Centennial School in Warkworth, have upgraded floors, ceilings, millwork and painting. Plainville Public School, in Hamilton Township, has got a new roof. Funding will benefit Port Hope High School with upgrades to mechanical and heating ventilation air control systems and at Frankford Public School, replacement of communication systems. “We can’t compete with the China’s or the India’s labour force dollar,” says Rinaldi. “But we can provide quality education, make sure skills are up-to-date and prepare our kids with today’s technology. We do also have to meet today’s standards in terms of health and safety.”

Power from the people helps musicians perform in concert By John Campbell Brighton – The Bikes, Beard and Bandshells Tour stopped in Brighton Aug. 31, to perform the last show in the Concerts in the Park series for 2016. It differed from the other free concerts held at Memorial Park in one major respect: Audience members were invited onstage to pedal the artists’ music. No, not peddle, as in sell, but pedal, as in riding a bicycle to provide power for the

speakers. “The idea is promote alternative transportation, alternative energy,” said tour director James Davis, founder of the Bicycle Music Festival in Toronto. “The concerts are powered by bikes and we’re carrying everything from town to town on our bikes” -- about 150 pounds of gear apiece. Their 300-kilometre tour started in Gananoque and ended at the Shelter Valley Folk Festival last weekend. The four musicians included Quique Esca-
milla, who won a JUNO World Music Album of the Year Award in 2015 and was named World Solo Artist of the Year at the 2104 Canadian Folk Music Awards. The concerts were designed to get people “excited” about different ways of creating energy, and inspire them “to do things themselves,” Davis said. “We’ve had great crowds” and “there’s been a great response.” “It’s just been a wonderful experience.”

Women with a heart can be a part of a new wave of philanthropy in county “The average person perhaps doesn’t realize, unless you’re involved in these things, [that] so much funding for all these organizations have been chopped by the government ... The money has to come from somewhere if these organizations are going to continue to exist and to help the people in the need.” Langevin said women who attend the Sept. 20 meeting do not have to become members. “We would like them to come to see what it is about ...[and] how it works.” To learn more about 100 Women with Hearth Northumberland visit www.localfoodforlocalgood.ca/become-amember.html.

Brighton -- Calling all women with a heart and money to spend on a worthwhile cause, here’s your chance to put those funds where they can do the most good. 100 Women with Heart Northumberland is looking for members who are committed to making a difference in the county. Formed earlier this year in Cobourg, the organization will hold its third meeting Sept. 20 at the King Edward Community Centre and choose by way of a vote a registered charitable organization that it will support with a donation of $5,000 at minimum. The money is raised by members who commit to donating $50 at each of the four meetings held a year, or $200 in total. They’re given three choices at each meeting, and one of those up for consideration later this month is The Bridge Hospice, supported by Brighton residents Cheryl Langevin and Ruth Kerr, who are both members and would like to see others from the area join the group as well. The Tebworth Brothers, Marshal Interest in 100 Women with Heart Norand Wyatt, perform at the Centhumberland has been quick to build. tennial Park Amphitheatre, on “We have 110 right now,” Langevin said, Sunday, Aug. 28, as part of the but Nicole Beatty, the acting executive diNorampac Summer Concert Serector of Local Food for Local Good who ries.

Each meeting lasts just an hour, starting at 7 p.m., with registration taking place at 6:30 p.m. “You don’t have to attend all the meetings,” Langevin said. “You can vote online, it makes it a lot easier for people.” “The nicest part about this whole thing is, all the money raised stays in Northumberland County.” Langevin said “sometimes $5,000 is just enough to keep [organizations] open, to be able to do whatever it is they’re doing.” Those helped already are a food bank in Cobourg, the Northumberland chapter of Parkinson Canada, and Sounds of the Next Generation (SONG), a socially inclusive choral and orchestral music GoMcCoy.com program for under-served children and 613-969-8884 youth in Northumberland. 81 Millennium PKWY.

Seniors Today When is the right time to leave ‘home’?
Few people like to admit their age is affecting them. However, as we age, certain abilities become compromised, and it may no longer be practical for aging men and women to remain in their homes, or at least live there alone. Comfortable living alone may be a signal to an older adult that he or she still has independence. Taking away a license or suggesting a move may cause feelings of animosity. But at some point in time, friends or family members of an aging man or woman might need to broach the topic of moving to an assisted living facility. Such a discussion can be difficult, but having some evidence that a change is necessary may make the news easier to process. Sometimes the older adult may have already made the decision that a move is necessary, which will make the process even easier. Moving should never be a knee-jerk reaction unless there is a sudden medical emergency that necessitates fast action. Under normal
circumstance, moving should be a gradual process that begins even before a parent, grandparent or other relative really needs to change residences. Here are some steps to keep in mind. • Make sure to develop a strong relationship with your loved one. This relation ship should be consistent and keep you in frequent contact so you can best assess his or her living situation. • Talk things over with other siblings or relatives to see if others feel the same way you do Perhaps they have a different point of view. • If there are problems at home, make your case by pointing them out. Show the elder adult how day-to-day life has grown more difficult and how certain burdens may be lifted by changing living situations. • Indicate that access to health care and a safe environment are some of the key benefits of moving to a senior community. Point out other benefits; such as companionship with similarly aged people, activities,
transportation, and the presence of a maintenance staff to ensure nothing falls into disrepair. • Do your research and have the names and amenities of different residences available to discuss. Request brochures from senior communities and offer to make trips to view the homes together with your senior relative. • If the idea of a “home” is not what your loved one has in mind, discuss the options of moving in with a relative and if this would be a more comfortable situation. • You may need a mediator or help with finding the right fit for a loved one. Consider hiring a geriatric care manager to help you organize your thoughts and priorities regarding a senior living transition. These individuals provide services that include helping families locate appropriate housing and care service for their loved ones.
Not every senior needs to leave home, but the topic should be broached if assistance with day-to-day activities is needed.

Loyalist Lancers sports teams ready to joust in 2016 By Stephen Petrick Belleville – School is back in session and that means several Loyalist College Lancers sports teams are getting ready for their fall semester seasons. The Lancers have seven teams that compete in Ontario Colleges Athletic Association play; of which three have regular seasons that begin in September. The men’s and women’s rugby team begin their regular seasons on Saturday, Sept. 17, when they host the rival St. Lawrence College Vikings. The women’s teams play at 1 p.m. and the men follow at 3 p.m. The games mark the first games of six-game schedules for both teams. Lancers rugby teams also host Fleming on Oct. 6 (women at 6 p.m., men at 8 p.m.) and Alqonquin on Oct. 15 (women at 1 p.m., men at 3 p.m.) The women’s rugby team hopes
to recapture the magic it had last season when, despite going winless in its first four games, the team improved greatly and went all the way to the OCAA bronze-medal game, where the team lost to St. Lawrence College. The men’s rugby team hopes to make the playoff this year, after missing them last season with a 2-4 record. Loyalist also has a women’s soccer team and it’s about to begin a 12game OCAA season, starting with a game at Cambrian College on Sept. 11. The women’s soccer team’s first home game will be Sunday, Sept. 18 versus Centennial at 1 p.m. The team also hosts Fleming (Sept. 21), Algonquin, (Sept. 23) and St. Lawrence Kingston (Sept. 28) later this month, with each game starting at 6 p.m. There’s almost nowhere to go but up for this team. The Lancers
went 1-10-1 last season. Loyalist does not have a men’s soccer team. Loyalist basketball and volleyball teams are also getting ready for their new seasons, but regular-season play starts much later on. The Lancers men’s basketball team begins a 20-game OCAA season on Saturday, Oct. 22 when it hosts Centennial at 3 p.m. The Lancers women’s basketball team will play a 17-game OCAA season, also beginning on Oct. 22, when it hosts Centennial at 1 p.m. The normally strong men’s team will be looking to make the playoffs this year, after a rare playoff miss last season. The team will be guided by former Lancer standout player Patrick Kabeya,
who takes over head coaching duties from Ryan Barbeau. Kabeya is a two-time Loyalist men’s athlete of the year. The women’s basketball team hopes to build momentum from last year, when it went .500 in regularseason play and earned a playoff date with the Fanshawe Falcons, only to lose 67-50. Regular seasons for Lancers men’s and women’s volleyball also begin in late October. Both teams being their seasons with home games versus Centennial on Friday, Oct. 21, with the women starting at 6 p.m. and the men fol-
lowing at 8 p.m. The volleyball men look to improve on a 6-14 season last year, which didn’t qualify them for the playoffs. The volleyball women, however, hope to build on momentum from last year’s success. Led by Lancers women’s athlete of the year, Sara Piana Yafu, the team went 12-8 to earn a post-season appearance. They would go on to lose in the first round to Cambrian College. More details on college sports is available at www.ocaa.com and www.loyalistlancers.com

Dylan Westbrook sweeps Labour Day Classic at Brighton; Belyea, Gregory and Mutton score victories By Clayton Johns
Brighton –The Ultramar Labour Day Classic Weekend presented by Lucas Oil, Rock 107 and Mystical Distributing continued on Sunday night with a full card of racing featuring the Southern Ontario Sprints. A full pit area held 59 cars in four divisions for the night’s action. Dylan Westbrook Completes Weekend Sweep Rookie 360 Sprint Car driver Dylan Westbrook (No.47x Bradshaw Fuels) completed the sweep of the Labour Day Classic Weekend with his sixth Southern Ontario Sprints win of the season. Chris Jones (No.11J Jones Automotive) and Shawn Sliter (No.22 Gilletta Flooring Services) started on the front row for the 25-lap main event. Jones jumped out to the early lead on a very slick racetrack. Sliter held on to second, but was quickly under pressure from the third-starting Westbrook. Westbrook took second from Sliter on lap three and began to chase Jones for the lead. Jones appeared to have the bottom lane figured out while Westbrook pounded the top to find some moisture. He seemed resigned to following Jones for the first half of the race until Jones’ night came to an abrupt end. On lap eight, Jones appeared to catch a tractor tire in turn four and caused him to spin to the infield for the race’s first caution. Jones elected not to take his car to the work area and Westbrook assumed the lead. Westbrook opened up a sizable 1.3-second lead over Sliter at the halfway mark, but it was erased by a caution on lap 14 when Clyde, OH native Mike Burkin (No.48 Visionquest) tipped on his side. Burkin was able to continue as Westbrook dominated the remained 11 laps to secure the victory over Sliter. Kyle Fraser (No.01 Oakridge

Construction) concluded his weekend with a strong third-place run over April Wilson (No.15 FK Rod Ends) and Paul Pekkonen (No.98 All Out Performance). Greg Belyea Returns To Victory Lane For First Time In Two Years Greg Belyea (No.25 Excel Tower Service) made his first stop in victory lane at Brighton Speedway since July 7, 2013 with the Vanderlaan Building Products Pro Late Models. Belyea started third behind polesitter Eli Mayhew (No.01 Paul’s Mechanical) and Adam Nayler (No.42 Nayler Plumbing). Nayler jumped to the early lead with Mayhew and Belyea in tow. Kyle Sopaz (No.12 KD Transmissions) was in the mix as well momentarily taking third from Belyea. On lap five, Belyea took second from Mayhew and set out to track down Nayler. Married to the outside lane, Belyea caught Nayler and the two race doorto-door from lap 14 until the only caution of the race on lap 17 after Mayhew spun in turn one. Following the restart, Belyea continued to challenge Nayler and eventually took the lead on lap 20 on the outside. With five to go, Phil Potts (No.29 Vanderlaan) was third and was tapping Nayler’s back bumper in bid for second. Sopaz took third from Potts with two laps to go while Belyea sailed to victory lane and Nayler settled for second. Belyea becomes the seventh different Pro Late Model winner this season. Gregory Tops Canadian Modifieds For Second Win Shawn Gregory’s (No.1 Partsource Belleville) front row starting position proved to be the difference in the topless feature for the Bainer’s OilGARD Canadian Modifieds. Gregory and second-starting Josh Hennessy (No.88 A&A Haulage) quickly broke

away from the field on the opening couple of laps. The race was slowed for its only caution on lap four after Derrick Greig (No.48 Greig Truck & Trailer) spun on the backstretch after officials ruled Doug O’Blenis (No.32 John’s Car Care) made contact to initiate the spin. On the restart, Gregory was flawless on the bottom. Saturday night winner Curtis King (No.07 Flowmetrix) drove to the outside in the latter half of the race and took third from Kraig Handley (No.91 Tri-Canadian Energy). King challenged both Hennessy and Gregory for positions at the time, but lost the momentum over the final two laps and settled for third. Hennessy challenged Gregory multiple times off turn four, but couldn’t get enough grip to steal the lead. A very smooth Gregory drove to his second win of the season and second in three weeks. Jonah Mutton Wins Pro Stock Thriller The Brighton Automotive Pro Stock race was a thriller with several drivers contending for the win over the course of 20 laps. Carissa Burrows (No.02 Wet Tek) and Art Rodgers (No.38 Wilson Engines) lined up on the front row. Burrows led the opening lap over Rodgers and Samantha Mayhew (No.33 Mayhew Graphics), but 10th-starting Jonah Mutton (No.39 Noco Fuels) was quickly on the move. Mutton took the lead from Burrows on lap five and drove to a convincing half straightaway lead. On lap 10, Doug Anderson (No.72 Hunt’s Landscape Service) and Brandon Murrell (No.19 Hannah Motors) claimed the second and third positions. With five laps to go, point leader Justin Ramsay (No.03 Empey Tire) was up to third behind Mutton and Anderson. Mutton’s lead was erased on lap 16 when Angie Kirby (No.23 Kafka Kort Barristers) spun in turn two. An
initial restart saw Anderson get the better of Mutton, but it was called back with debris sitting on the frontstetch. Mutton got a much better jump the second time. Ramsay took second from Anderson and tapped Mutton’s back bumper repeatedly over the final two laps, but Mutton held on to the handle for his second victory of the season. Ramsay, Anderson, Murrell and Austin Reid (No.85 Excel Tower Service) rounded out the top-five.

Countdown to kindergarten starts with a bus ride By Sue Dickens Campbellford – The big yellow school bus waited outside the Campbellford branch of the Trent Hills Library as pre-schoolers lined up to take their first ride. It was the highlight for the kids at the end of a special program hosted by the library and spearheaded by Children’s Librarian Brianne Parr. “We did this ‘Countdown to Kindergarten’ for the first time last year,” said Parr. About 10 children showed up while this year more than 15 signed up for the hour-long fun learning time. “A lot of the children are from the library’s story hour program and we’ve also got some new kids as well which is nice,” she noted. “We do things like take attendance and then read them kindergarten stories.” As well the children are asked to bring their backpack so they can
learn how to use it. Back-to-school crafts were part of the program too and one of the activities was writing their name on a colourful name tag and then putting stickers on it for a little glitz and glamour. “When we all get on the bus, it’s the kids and their parents too if they want, the get to see what that’s all about and that hopefully will ease any fears that any of the kids might have,” Parr explained. “We had feedback last year from parents who thought it was wonderful and the kids were excited.” Jessica York of Warkworth was there with her Quintin York, age 3 ½, and she said, I think it’s great. Quintin was so excited and couldn’t wait to get here. Terri Ames of Ames Coach Lines Campbellford donated her time and the bus for the event. School started on Tues., Sept. 6 for thousands of students in this area.
(Left) Four-year-old Jack McColl of Campbellford, sporting his backpack, readied himself for his first bus ride with his dad Daryl by his side. It was a chance for pre-schoolers to get used to a school bus as they transition to the next stage in their life.

Ottawa rally planned to boost support for bill to prevent cruelty to animals By John Campbell Brighton – Victory for Animals Society will hold a rally in Ottawa next week in support of a private member’s bill aimed at banning the sale of cat and dog fur in Canada and the importation of fins that have been cut off from live sharks. The bill introduced by Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith (Beaches-East York) last February
also proposes to strengthen and modernize the Criminal Code’s existing animal cruelty offences. VFAS founder Shelley Craig said Bill-246 will make it easier to convict people who neglect animals, toughen sentences for repeat animal offenders, and close loopholes in the law that will make it illegal to profit from animal fighting. It’s important that the importation of fur from dogs and cats be stopped.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY!
“They skin them alive in China and they send their fur into our country,” Craig said. “It’s a brutal act.” China is also behind exporting fins removed from sharks caught in Canadian waters, she said. Over the past four decades many shark species have declined by more than 90 per cent, according to a summary she made of the bill, which also looks to close another loophole that “could allow some cases of bestiality” to not be prosecuted.

of operation on Loyalist Drive. “They love the animals, it’s therapeutic for them,” Craig said. “The kids know it’s wrong” for Canada to allow products into the country that are the result of “barbaric treatment of animals” elsewhere, and the government should, too. “We need as many people there as possible ... to really show we care, [and ensure that ] our voice is heard,” she continued. But if you can’t make it and are in support of the bill, you can go online and download a letter to sign and send to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at www.victoryforanimals.com. If Canadians “knew what was happening [they] would definitely say this is unacceptable,” Craig said. “We’re good people here.” She stressed that the bill will not affect animal agriculture, animal research, or hunting and fishing, as its critics have charged. “We have to get this bill passed, it’s just ridiculous the way animals are treated,” said Doug Crosby, a VFA volunteer will be taking part in the rally. Cutting off fins from sharks and letting them die because they can’t swim is “just terrible,” he said, as is “skinning animals alive for vanity” when there are “lots of artificial fur around that looks as good and works as well. You don’t need to kill animals for that.” “I hope we have a big crowd and I hope it makes a difference,” said Mike Garry, another volunteer.

A Visit to Juneau, Alaska’s Capital City
By John M. Smith Alaska’s capital city is a little out of the ordinary, for it’s relatively small in population (less than 35,000) yet very large in area (larger than the entire state of Delaware or Rhode Island). Also unique is that there’s no road access, even though it’s located on the Alaskan mainland. There’s a road that heads north for about 70 km., but then it just stops because of the extremely rugged terrain. This led my guide to tell me that “road rage” has been replaced up here by “end of road rage”. Therefore, this unique destination is only reached by plane, ferry, or cruise ship, and all goods coming in or out must go by plane or boat. Juneau is located along the coast, nestled at the base of the mountains, in the heart of southeast Alaska, and it’s surrounded by one of the country’s largest wilderness areas. When I visited Juneau, I took a day trip to some of the area’s main attractions, and I’d definitely recommend including a ride up the Mount Roberts Tramway, southeast Alaska’s only aerial tramway. This gave me a spectacular panoramic view of the city from high above it, and I also discovered several well marked hiking trails up here, including a 1 mile loop with interpretive signage and traditional living-tree totem carvings. I also found local artisans at work in Raven Eagle Gifts, and I also learned about native history and heritage by viewing an 18 minute docudrama in the Chilkat Theatre, “Seeing Daylight”. I even found a Raptor Centre, where I could get ‘an up close and personal look’ at a bald eagle that was A view of Juneau’s Mendenhal Glacier. blind and being cared for.

Plays a product of fertile field of talent in region Paylor, who also had a play in last year’s event. Finally, a reflection on the death penalty from Witty and colourful, this one. Paylor’s “The Man in 2B” was about ships that pass Wayne Clark, called “How’s It Feel in There.” A In case audiences think the local playwright talHeather Muir, producer for this year’s third annual in the night, an elderly man who is ignored by his rogue sheriff is all in favour of hanging thieves until ent pool has exhausted itself, Muir noted that nine One-Act Play festival at The Pinnacle Playhouse, youthful neighbours upstairs until he dies.

Directed by Terry plays were actually submitted, with the theatre guild summed it up succinctly before a sold out crowd at by Moira Nikander-Forrester, the play starred Alys- Boyd, the actors were Mike Moon, Jim Love, Ken choosing only five, one of which will go on to the sa Ross, Eric Lucas, Darren Moore and Chris Black. MacPherson, Myra Thomson and Simi Grewal. regional one act play festival. Saturday evening’s closing performance. “This is about culture – Belleville culture,” she said: “Written by local playwrights, performed by local actors with local directors and put together by local production people.” The four-night event started Wednesday, Aug. 31, and ran through Saturday with five shows each night starting at 8 p.m. and done by 10:30. They all drew large audiences, culminating in a sold out crowd Saturday, largely because of word of mouth praise. The praise was well deserved. The audience loved every one of the plays, showing that local playwrights have a lot to offer in terms of talent and entertainment. They covered completely different themes from nostalgia, to fantasy, to black comedy to rip-snorting western complete with a sheriff and six- guns. Some were downright hilarious. Even if the play wore a bit thin at some points, the talents of the actors carried it off, especially Gary McLeod as the dying man in “I Am.” This little gem with only two characters was a real crowd pleaser, written by Maurice Leslie and directed by Darren Cole, with Heidi Montcrieff playing opposite McLeod. “Terry’s TV Repair” by Richard Lummiss, directed by Scott Roodvoets, was a nostalgic look at a dying electronics repair business. One of the characters, Margaret Ruttan, as Marlene, hit the high point, stating that the electronic age means the end of real letters and photos about or from real people. Man about town, Gerry Fraiberg, played an Italian tailor business neighbour to veteran Ken Capstick’s Terry, the repair man, assisted by Jamie Hosking and Aaron Dettlinger. A super-charged cast in garish fantasy costumes kept things going in “This Side Or the Other,” by Eric Lucas, directed by Ian Feltham. The three sisters, Greek goddesses of fate, disagree over their predetermined fate of a four-year-old boy fighting for his life from a deadly cancer. Heather Barker shone as the distraught mother, while Wendy Roy, Jana Busse and Amber Lucas played the bickering sisters. Author Lucas dedicated his play to the late Carl Cashin who was part of his inspiration. You don’t have to be an international star as a playwright to please Belleville audiences. These five local playwrights did the job with fantastic applause in the Belleville Theatre Guild’s annual Intriguing and gripping was the entry from Peter one- act play evenings.

Quinte Botanical Gardens on schedule to open next spring By John Campbell Frankford -- When John Riedl and Deanna Groves launched their landscaping business less than a decade ago, it was to turn their “massive passion for gardening” into a means of helping other people enjoy “their little piece of paradise,” Groves said. Now the husband and wife are creating a paradise that thousands can enjoy in one location, a six-acre parcel north of Frankford. A ground-breaking ceremony was held Aug. 31 to give guests a glimpse of what to expect when Quinte Botanical Gardens officially opens next spring with a spectacular display of 40,000 tulips. It’s something the couple have been planning for
years but actual work on the property didn’t begin until last spring, “after we had all our ducks in a row,” Riedl said. “Garden tourism is huge,” he said of the couple’s venture, which they hope will attract nearly as many visitors annually as the number of tulips they intend to plant. The Gardens’ array of features will make it unique for the region, including a “wheel of colour” 150 feet across that is “the largest in the world,” Riedl said. Its “eight slices” will have different colours, made up mainly of flowers. There are 28 gardens planned, each one with its own theme, including an oriental garden, a White Garden with statuary, a prehistoric garden, and a
section devoted to crops grown in farmers’ fields. Groves said they decided to take on the $320,000 project when they began to notice more and more how important it was for people to go outside and take in the beauty and tranquility of nature -“everything that goes hand in hand [with] being in a garden.” So they decided to create a place where children to seniors could “enjoy themselves for two or three hours.” The experience is meant to be both educational and pleasurable, Groves said. “When people come here they’re going to see something that’s new and exciting.” She and her husband currently employ about nine people but that number could grow to as many as 17 full-time positions by the time Quinte Botanical Gardens opens. “What an overwhelming project you’ve pulled off,” marvelled Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis, who was among the local dignitaries who took part in the ground-breaking ceremony. He was “blown away” by the couple’s plans, noting Belleville’s sister city in Germany, Lahr, holds a chrysanthemum festival every year that draws 50,000 people to the city for a weekend. The economic spin-off that Quinte Botanical Gardens will have in his riding “is going to be just incredible,” he said. “We all knew it was a great idea,” Suzanne Andrews, general manager of Quinte West Chamber
of Commerce, told the gathering. “The more attractions we can have the longer people will stay in our municipalities and that’s good for everybody,” she said afterwards. People “want to get out of the city [and go where] they can relax, where there’s not a lot of traffic, where there’s not a lot of noise,” and they can “enjoy the great outdoors.” Andrews commended the couple for realizing their dream, saying “it took a lot of perseverance to get it off the ground, but they have “done everything right.” They did their research, arranged for more than 40 businesses to be sponsors of the different gardens, and they’re “well-connected with the garden tour industry.” Groves and Riedl received a $25,000 grant from the federal government to build a gazebo that will serve as a resting area as well as a venue for educational talks and seminars of interest to seniors. There will also be raised garden beds to allow older visitors to get “their hands into the soil” without having to get down on their hands and knees, Riedl said. “We’re very, very happy with the way that things are progressing,” he said. “We’re on schedule,” although there have been challenges, including an “extreme” one, the heat, which is “rough on new plants,” Riedl said. Quinte Botanical Gardens will remain open after April “until the snow flies,” Groves said. The cost of admission remains to be set.

Talks on the Rocks: Alvar and grassland stewardship workshop Roblin - The Napanee Limestone Plain is one of North America’s great alvar landscapes; a place where grassland birds thrive. Experience one of the Great Lake’s rarest ecosystems at Talks on the Rocks: the Alvar and Grassland Stewardship Workshop on Tuesday, September 20 in Roblin (north of Napanee). Alvars are naturally open habitats with very thin, or no soil over limestone bedrock. Their unique characteristics set the stage for natural communities that simply cannot exist elsewhere. Globally, alvars are restricted to very few areas, and in North America, 80 percent are located in Ontario. The Alvar and Grassland Stewardship Workshop features speakers in the morning and a field trip in the afternoon. Participants will learn about the importance of the unique habitats, plants and wildlife that live in this area, and the programs that support alvar and grassland conservation. Guests will leave armed
with the tools and resources needed to steward these rare features on their property. Experts from Wildlife Preservation Canada, Canadian Wildlife Service, Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement, and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry will discuss topics including land management for grassland birds (such as the endangered Eastern Loggerhead Shrike) and provincial grassland initiatives. A panel discussion will provide an open Q and A with the morning speakers. In the afternoon, participants will visit alvar and grassland sites in Newburgh and Roblin to see examples of these unique habitats and actual stewardship projects by local landowners. The Alvar and Grassland Stewardship Workshop is on Tuesday, September 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Roblin Wesleyan Church, 3100 County Road 41, in Roblin. Registration cost is $15 per person; lunch and refreshments are provided. Contact Andrea at andrea.klymko@ ontario.ca (613) 531-5703 to register. Also visit http://wildlifepreservation.ca/talks_on_the_rocks/ The workshop is hosted by the Napanee Plain Joint Initiative, including many groups such as Wildlife Preservation Canada, Nature Conservancy of Canada, Bird Studies Canada, Kingston Field Naturalists, and local Stewardship Councils. Financial support is provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Classic examples of alvar, resembling pavement in the wild, and native Forestry - Species at Risk Stewardgrasslands.

Dry stone wall workshop rock solid By Sue Dickens
years and said, “Working with stone is such a rewarding experience . . . a real labour of love for sure. The restoration of these stone walls in Ferris Provincial Park is a true testament to our historic past. The opportunity for our community to be involved in such a project is fantastic.” The workshop was led by renowned certified instructor Sean Donnelly, based in Waterloo, who has taught wallers here for several years. Bill Jeffers, a director with Dry Stone Canada, was in attendance as well.
Campbellford - Five Dry Stone Canada members joined 10 registered participants in the 9th annual dry stone wall workshop hosted in partnership with Friends of Ferris Provincial Park recently. “We emigrated to Canada from the UK and did dry stone walling in Scotland before we came here,” said Amanda Sinclair, whose husband Fraser was participating in the two day workshop. They now live in Cambridge and drove to Campbellford for the event. “One of the things Fraser decided to do to integrate himself into society here was get involved in this,” she commented. For her husband, who is an electronics engineer, it is just a hobby, but they like it enough that this is their fourth year at the workshop. There were participants from nearby Marmora and from as far away as Toledo, Ohio. Carol Robertson of Friends of Ferris Renowned certified instructor with Dry Stone Canada, Sean Donnelly of Waterloo, right, has taught the has organized the dry stone wall technique for several years at a workshop at Ferris Provincial in partnership with Friends event for many of Ferris.

Samba reggae rocks Brighton park By John Campbell Brighton -- TDot Batu, an Afro–Brazilian samba reggae percussion ensemble based in Toronto, brought its highenergy act to Memorial Park Sept. 3 and the enthusiasm of its talented members was infectious. Group founder Pato Irie and half his ensemble were camping at Presqu’ile Provincial Park for the second year in a row. The outings, which cost him $2,000, are his way to “give back to the people” who play with him who “work very hard” rehearsing and performing. Last year Tdot Batu gave an
impromptu performance at Presqu’ile on a Saturday night to the delight of campers, but when members tried again the following day, park officials “shut us down,” Irie said. So he let the Downtown Business Improvement Area association know his band would like to give a show at no cost and the association booked the park for its appearance. It’s the first time Irie’s band had played in a small community. “That’s why we’re excited to bring it out [of Toronto} because I know probably none of you ... have the chance to come see something like this,” he said.

Old tyme choral concert Sept. 18 in Belleville in aid of refugees Belleville - The songs are mostly ones you’ve never heard before, but they remain melodic, funny and memorable the way Command Performance does them. This community choir, based at Picton, has been regally entertaining generous audiences for decades now, drawing singers from across Prince Edward County and the Belleville area. Past successes have been adding a choral track to a showing of the classic silent movie, Nosferatu (Dracular), which proved to be a real crowd pleaser. Some weeks ago, the choral group presented a concert called “Stuff and Nonsense,” focusing on the Victorian and Edwardian eras’ repertoire, also titled: “A choral antiques road show.” That, too, was a huge success. Now, in aid of an additional influx of refugees from Syria, the choir is repeating that show on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 2 p.m, in St. Matthew’s United Church, Belleville, on Holloway Street. The program will include a hilarious cantata based on lyrics by the Victorian humour poet Edward Lear, plus other classic but forgotten songs. Admission, at $20, will help allow established Syrian refugees in the area to bring over some close relatives as well as providing an afternoon of delightful entertainment. Tickets are available at the church or by calling (613) 967-1511, or at the door.
Brighton looking to celebrate past, present, future in 2017 By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – The municipality is asking for the federal government’s help in creating a $20,000 time capsule, as a way to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. Director of parks and recreation, Jim Millar, has got the OK from council to pursue an application for funding through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Intake. Council has also recently approved $4,000 to be placed in the 2017 budget, as the municipality’s 20 per cent contribution to the project. Mayor Mark Walas sees the time capsule initiative as a “unique opportunity” for community members, being it will offer people the chance to sort of leave their mark in local history and to take part in the story of Canada’s evolution. Local residents would have the opportunity to provide information for future Brightonians and offer people of the day a window into the past.
“I think it will be a great community project and whether this is opened in 2050 or in 150 years – well that will be the decision of the folks of the day,” he said. Next year, communities across the nation are set to celebrate Canada’s anniversary of Confederation in an array of ways. The federal government is encouraging festivities and functions which highlight the milestone and Canada’s history, through the way of grants and contributions to projects that will “encourage active participation and bring Canadians together, to mark and celebrate our diversity in inclusive ways and to help shape Canada for the future.” Millar is hopeful the Brighton time capsule project will be a perfect fit for criteria of the funding program. A sub-committee through the municipality’s community events committee will help oversee the project and are spearheading a “viable plan” to bring forward, for the Brighton Canada 150 celebrations. “It’s important to remember, that applicants are encouraged to develop projects that
celebrate who we are as Canadians in 2017 and who we want to be in the future,” said Millar. Millar is hopeful for about $16,000 in funding, to help bring the project to life. About $10,000 is needed, it’s estimated for the granite cairn and bolder, with all the engraving and concrete pads. Another $8,000 would be allocated for all components encompassing the garden display, including brickwork, irrigation, and gardens and landscaping of the area to give it “a fresh new look, encapsulating the significance of this area.” And finally, about $2,000 it’s anticipated would be needed for administrative costs for the actual 150th celebration, time capsule events, advertising, and ribbon cutting ceremony. With the community events committee not holding a civic awards gala next spring, efforts will be largely focused on the 150th celebration and events leading up to the celebration.

DEATH NOTICE
HUNTLEY Nancy Elizabeth March 7, 1941 -August 15, 2016 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of a loving wife, of 58 years to Beattie Huntley, the best mother to Niki (Ross) and Kim (Tom) and most compassionate and caring nana to Sarah (Kyle Dean), Michael and Samantha . She also had great children Tommy, Cody, Dectani (Rosey) and one special little boy she isn’t able to get to know. Nancy leaves behind two brothers Ted Pomery (Kit) and Doug Pomery (Pat) and many nieces and nephews. As for Nancy’s request cremation has taken place. A Celebration of her Life will be held at The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints 79 Bryne Ave., Trenton from 12-4 on Saturday, September 10, 2016. Visitation from 12-1pm, service from 1-2 followed by a BBQ to chat about the good times and memories we all have about such a wonderful fun loving person. BULMAN, Lenore Marie passed peacefully surrounded by her sons and their love at the Belleville General Hospital on Wednesday, August 24, 2016, age 87 years. Lenore Bulman of Brighton, daughter of the late Frank Hendricks and the late Marie (Northcott). Beloved wife of the late Maurice Ivison Bulman.

Sadly missed by her grandchildren, Julie (and her husband Cole), Krista, Michael, and Kaitlin. Also missed by her constant companion at home, her beloved cat, Misty. Mom remained active in the community through her volunteer work in many community organizations and a void will surely exist among her wide circle of friends.
