Brighton plans a party for Canada Day

By Sarah Hyatt

Brighton – Pancakes, snow cones, critters, cake and more will be part of the fun during Canada’s 149th birthday celebrations in Brighton Friday at King Edward Park Arena.

For those who are eager to celebrate their heritage and Canada’s achievements and also engage in a little family fun, there’s something for all ages during this year’s Brighton Canada Day celebrations, says Victoria Parker, a member of the Brighton community events committee.

Brightonians are invited to join in the crosscountry celebrations starting with the traditional community and long-loved pancake breakfast at the arena.

Doors open at 8 a.m. Breakfast runs until 11 a.m.

Afterwards, families and local residents are encouraged to make their way to the petting zoo or dunk tank – it’s a full day for family activities, says Parker.

“Pets are welcome at the park too,” added Parker.

And if you miss breakfast, no need to fret.

Local service clubs will be selling barbecued treats during the day.

Free snow cones, cotton candy and popcorn are also a part of this year’s Canada Day lineup.

Bouncers R Us is making a return this year.

New last year, “they were a big hit, very popular and a big draw for the kids.”

This year’s opening ceremony, also at King Edward Park Arena, begins at 11 a.m., with remarks from Mayor Mark Walas.

During this time, attendees are invited to enjoy a little cake and also, sing along with Katy Fall for the national anthem.

Brighton firefighters will be on hand during the festivities to talk fire safety awareness. Other community groups such as the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society will also have information booths at King Edward.

Finally, there will be tunes from R&R, under the big tent.

Fireworks start at dusk – likely around 9 p.m., said Parker.

The Proctor House Museum will also be giving tours Friday, sharing tales of historic treasures.

Next year, Canada celebrates the big 150th.

Meet Northumberland’s most pixilated folk artist

By Vic Schukov Whimsically eclectic artist Nichola Battilana prefers the “other” side to most everything. Running roughshod over being labeled simply as an artist and designer, she describes herself as “a crafting maniac and a maker of messes and believer in fairies.”

Coincidentally, she was born in Birkenhead, England, on the other side of the place mentioned in the 1960’s hit song Ferry Cross the Mersey. In other words, where the ferry (pronounced fairy) goes. She was four years old when her family moved

to St.Catherines.

She says, “We grew herbs on a postage stamp lot in the city. After hearing the folklore about how fairies live in thyme plants, I developed an interest in the tradition of nature’s spirits.

I believe that they exist, and are a huge part of my creations.” According to Battilana, a pixie is a type of tiny winged fairy that is mischievous, not unlike the artist herself.

In addition to being an up-cycler, painter, mixed media sculpture and assembler, Battilana is an astonishing craftsman of miniaturisation. Her artworks include fully furnished fairy

doll houses and tiny gardens painted onto thimbles. She buys old photos at flea markets and then scans and embellishes them. It is all so mesmerizing that even she has a hard time describing her work. Enigmatically, she does not come off as strange in person. Inspired by living in nature, however, her art is a totally different matter: “I have no idea what I am doing,” she says laughing, “The more I do, the more I realize I have no clue.

It’s what I am. Weird is a good term.

But we are all weird in our own way.”

Yet, when people see her work, they understand and appreciate her artistic

impression. Selling on-line, she has to date shipped over 800 items worldwide.

Six years ago, Battilana settled in her “sanctuary, an 1883 farmhouse surrounded by fields and forests that capture the magic of the land” in a rural nook of Brighton. Here, surrounded by her treasures - toadstools, serenading frogs, fireflies, pumpkins sprouting where none had been planted, finches, guinea pigs, 11 huggable chickens, and a giant Lord-of-theRings-like dog named Padfoot - she opened up Pixie Hill Studio.

She doesn’t like talking on the phone, being superstitious about bad news and also a bit socially awkward: “If I see someone, I can judge their reactions. I don’t give my number out, but people are free to drop by anytime. It is my way of giving back to the community.” She cautions visitors not to depend on their GPS directions or they might get lost – something to do with rascally pixies.

Her fifth annual open house is on July 2, 10 to 4. It has a regular attendance of over a 100 people coming to see fairy houses everywhere, with kids scurrying about the grounds in a scavenger hunt. Pixie Hill Studio is lo-

Brighton Independent - Thursday, June 30, 2016

Art on Main promotes great artists – like Molly Koenig Brighton – While still in high school, Molly Koenig and her artwork are going places.

Literally. Her artwork has landed in the hands of Arlene Dickinson – one of Canada’s most renowned entrepreneurs, who’s taken a liking to Molly’s work.

Dickinson is often best known to Canadians for her role on the big hit CBC series Dragons’ Den. Molly was the youngest artist to participate in the Art on Main event in Brighton last year.

And the watercolour artist’s work was

Elaine Poot (left), president of the Brighton Downtown Business Improvement Association (DBIA) and member of the Art on Main committee, and Sheryl Delorme, chairwoman of the committee and vice-president of DBIA, showcase Molly Koenig’s artwork, which stole the eye of Arlene Dickinson since last year’s Art on Main event.

The pair is gearing up for the third annual Art on Main event, which spans two days this year on July 8 and 9. Photo by Sarah Hyatt.

a hit – so much so, it didn’t take long for local businesses to begin selling Molly’s work.

Then one day, a passerby from Thornbury, Ont., came across the East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) student’s talent, while shopping at Special Effects Decorating.

She also wanted to preview Molly’s work, at her shop in Thornbury. So she did and that’s where Dickinson stumbled upon the ENSS students’ art.

“Arlene liked her work so much, she made a point to talk with Molly, one-onone and gave her some really sound advice concerning her career,” said Sheryl

Delorme.

Delorme is the chairwoman of the Art on Main committee and also, vice-president for the Brighton Downtown Business Improvement Association (DBIA), which serves as the main sponsor of the event.

And to help and promote local artists like Molly, this is exactly what the Art on Main event was created to do, says Delorme.

As an interior decorator, the arts have always been a passion for Delorme.

But she’s also a local business owner (Special Effects Decorating), with a passion for community. So three years ago, she approached the DBIA to help launch the Art on Main event.

The event is now returning for its third consecutive year this July and what’s more, it’s expanded.

This year, the Art on Main event will span over the course of two days, beginning on Friday, July 8, with an opening night “Fine Art Expose” at the Masonic Hall in Brighton.

Mixed media artists, painters, photographers, abstract acrylic work and even woodturning artists’ work will be on display.

During this time, attendees will also have the chance to meet and chat with artists.

Brighton has a rich abundance of talent, says Delorme, as do other surrounding

communities – and this type of fine art and local talent should be promoted and displayed.

Ana Milena Varona, a professional cello player from Columbia, who now resides in Stirling, with her husband, David Baynes on the guitar, will also be performing for the opening night.

On Saturday, in addition to the visual arts, the culinary and performing arts will also be showcased throughout the downtown core and in Memorial Park and Main Street is set to light up with colour and laughter, as several shoppes have collaborated to feature various local artists and the entertainment lineup features dancers, musicians and street performers.

Artists set up in Memorial Park for the day will showcase everything from silk art, to jewelry, antlers-to-art carvings, pottery, folk art and stained glass work, for examples.

“We have a great combination of both returning and new artists,” said Delorme.

While the bulk of participating artists this year are local, coming from the Brighton and Northumberland areas, as well as from the Belleville and Prince Edward County regions, others are travelling from as far as Toronto to feature their work this July, as the event’s popularity and reputation continues to grow.

Increasing tourism within the community was always a part of the plan, said Delorme.

“To see the town bustling…and everyone benefiting, it’s going to make this last year of long, hard work all worth it,” the chairwoman added.

The Art on Main committee is comprised of just four volunteers, including Delorme, Elaine Poot, Sandy Pasko and Connie Howell.

With more than 20 featured artists as part of this year’s lineup, including Molly, a number of the Memorial Park artists will also offer attendees the chance to see in action, their work with live demonstrations.

More information on the Art on Main event is available via social media – search for the group on Facebook or Twitter.

The opening night expose is on July 8, from 6-9 p.m., at the Masonic Hall.

On July 9, creativity will take over the park and Main Street beginning at 10 a.m. The event runs until 5 p.m.

The expose will remain open on Saturday and there will be a complimentary shuttle from noon until 4 p.m. Look for signage at participating stores/venues.

“Tales of Amusement” will run from July 7 to July 23 on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The cost is $40 for dinner and theatre, $25 for theatre only.

Tickets are available at The Big Apple or online at www.processtheatre.com.

The huge tent can accommodate at least 150 people.

With wine, beer and cider available along with a meal from the Smokehouse, “it’s a nice night out for adults,” Smith said.

Process Theatre staged its first production, a revue about Christmas in Northumberland, in a storefront on Colborne’s main street.

“That was really well-received, a lot of people liked it,” but because of building code regulations it “would have been far too expensive to maintain that property,” Smith said.

“The fact that The Big Apple has embraced us and invited us [to perform there] makes us feel great, because they’ve got the facilities that During Apple Blossom Tyme Festival Anne-Marie Krytiuk walked the grounds promoting “Tales of we don’t have nor could we afford Amusement” she and fellow cast members will be performing at The Big Apple during the month of July as part of “A Summer Ballyhoo” presented by Process Theatre.

OPINION

Brexit – and maybe then Frexit, Nexit, Swexit, Plexit..?

“The EU is dying. I hope we’ve knocked the first brick out of the wall,” exulted Nigel Farage, leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party.

He proposed that June 23, when the British narrowly (51.8 perGwynne Dyer voted cent of the votes) to leave the European Union, should be a new national holiday called Independence Day. But author J.K. Rowling, who wanted Scotland to remain in the United Kingdom and the UK to remain in the EU, tweeted sadly: “Scotland will seek independence now. Cameron’s legacy will be breaking up two unions. Neither needed to happen.”

Soon-to-be-former Prime Minister David Cameron’s decision to hold a referendum on Britain’s EU membership has assured the dismantling of the United Kingdom.

58 percent of the English voted “Leave”, while 62 percent of Scots voted “Remain”.

It is “democratically unacceptable” for Scotland to be dragged out of the EU by the English, said First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, and a second independence referendum in Scotland is “highly likely”.

It remains to be seen whether Cameron’s historic blunder will also trigger the disintegration of the EU itself, but there are plenty of right-wing nationalists in other EU countries who hope there will be a domino effect.

Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s Front National, called the UK referendum “a key moment in European history” and said “I hope the French also have a similar exercise.” And “Frexit” is just the start.

Geert Wilders, whose anti-Muslim, antiimmigration Freedom Party is predicted to win 46 of the 150 seats in the Dutch parliament in next year’s election, promised if he were elected, the Netherlands will hold its own “Nexit” referendum. Italy’s anti-immigrant Northern League and the populist 5-Star Movement both called for a referendum on Italian membership of the EU.

Kristian Thulesen Dahls, the leader of the Danish People’s Party, said that Denmark should follow Britain’s lead. Nationalist leaders in Eastern Europe like Poland’s Jarosław Kaczynski and Hungary’s Viktor Orban indulge in harsh anti-EU rhetoric all the time. And so on.

But most of the people who might vote for thes nationalist leaders are not seeking the destruction of the EU, just big changes in the way it works – in particular the reform or abolition of the euro and much stricter controls on immigration. Unlike the “Little Englanders” who voted for Brexit, they see the European Union as an essential bulwark against a return to the old Europe of beggar-my-neighbour trade policies and savage wars.

The EU’s leaders will have to take a very tough line in the negotiations about the European Union’s post-Brexit relations with the rump of the UK. A horrible example will be required to show the nationalists and populists in other members that leaving is hard and painful. And to preserve the EU they will have to abolish or drastically restructure the euro currency (but that had become necessary anyway).

The odds are, however, that the EU will survive. Its biggest problem will not be the loss of Britain, its second-biggest economy, but rather the fact that post-Brexit Germany will dominate the Union even more than it does already.

As for the English, they have made their bed and they will have to lie in it. The pound sterling has already lost much value and will probably lose much more. The last of the three major global ratings agencies, Standard and Poor’s, will downgrade the UK’s AAA credit rating. Foreign investment will dry up, in recognition of the fact that the country will probably lose dutyfree access to the EU’s “single market”.

Further down the road more pain will follow, as jobs disappear abroad, the English economy goes into recession, and the City of London starts to lose its status as a global financial centre rivalled only by New York. That will make domestic politics nasty enough, but the anti-immigrant fervour and outright racism that disfigured the “Leave” campaign are unlikely to dwindle in the ugly aftermath.

Trenton – After 13 years since the last show in Trenton, the 2016 Quinte International Air Show (QIAS) was a big hit and drew in crowds from across the region June 25-26.

And, for some, there is a deep family connection to the aerial spectacle that was held under often sweltering sun on a warm CFB Trenton tarmac.

Kristina Lyon brought her family with three young boys from Kingston to attend the QIAS. She said the CFB Trenton air shows have a special place in her heart because her father would bring her to every one before he passed away.

“The last time I went actually was 13 years ago, the last time Trenton had a big air show and it was two weeks after my dad had passed away,” she said. “It’s been a family tradition that was something he always took me to growing up so it was only fitting that this year, being the 13th anniversary that he’s gone, that I come and bring the boys so they can experience it as well.”

Lyon said her family was having a great time looking at the static aircraft displays and watching the CF-18 demonstration, “there’s something for everybody, who doesn’t love planes?”

The show attracted visitors from farther afield, as well.

“Who doesn’t like to watch people fly? All of these awesome birds just zooming out there, it’s like a dream come true,” said Rohan Karandikar, an aerospace engineer who traveled from Ottawa with his wife to attend the QIAS on Saturday June 25.

Karandikar said he’s an aviation enthusiast and travels to a number of air shows, including the Hamilton air show.

He said he was really impressed with what the QIAS had to offer.

“I love it, they have the historical aircraft, the Lancaster, you even have the WWII Biplanes, you have the CF-18’s, you have the P-3 Orion’s which is actually a favourite of Ethan Smart gives the thumbs up before heading my wife’s, so it’s very cool,” he said. into an aircraft for a tour at the 2016 Quinte In- Karandikar said he didn’t mind driving the three hours ternational Air Show on Saturday July 25.

by Erin Stewart was most looking forward to seeing the F-18 because of its air power.

Lt. Col. Cathy Blue, co-chair of the Quinte International Air Show, said the weekend was absolutely phenomenal for organizers.

“We are just so pleased with how the air show has worked, the level of effort, the level of planning that went into this, we are just overjoyed,” she said.

Artist wants to promote healing through art

By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – To rebuild one’s life from scratch – to lose absolutely every possession, is a terrifying thought.

For Viki Gillis, a local artist, this thought in the last month or so, has entered her mind often in the wake of the devastating wildfires that ravaged thousands of homes in Fort McMurray, Alta.

Gillis, who also works in mental health, has seen first-hand people displaced from their homes due to fire and the damage it can cause.

And with a little community support this week, she’s hopeful Brighton residents can help to make even the slightest difference, as countless families and people continue to struggle to rebuild.

“I think people are more than willing to help,” she said.

This is why, Gillis, whose part of a unique art group is looking to share her talents on Thursday, as part of a fundraiser to aid Fort McMurray fire victims.

Gillis specializes in a specific type of art, with her sisters – they’re known as the Art of Sisterhood.

Together, they’ve travelled from Guelph, to East Northumberland Secondary School and also previously worked with kids through the Brigh-

ton Arts Council.

It was Pamela Vanderburg, an ENSS teacher, who worked with Gillis for a native and social studies class, who suggested the artist pursue the idea of a local fundraiser such as this.

Often, Gillis and her sisters will teach classes in women’s shelters.

In these instances, their work aims to help women who are depressed or who’ve been assaulted, or even kids who’ve been abused to begin healing and essentially rebuilding oneself.

“There’s no need for people to have true artistic abilities in these types of classes,” she explained. “I’ve heard people tell me, ‘I can’t even draw a stick figure,’ and their work turns out beautiful.”

Gillis started her artistic journey about 15 years ago.

She began experimenting with a form known as modern boutique art.

Soon, her sisters were also involved.

It wasn’t until a few years ago, however, the group came across the Colour of Woman School and method, and since, became certified intention creative coaches and teachers.

The Colour of Woman method is meant to serve as a therapeutic and intuitive painting process in which participants access internal imagery and story, bringing form through intentional creativity.

“We actually travelled to California for this training and went through some pretty intense teaching and coaching classes…as well as some intense soul work,” said Gillis.

The Colour of Woman School was established in 1994 by Shiloh Sophia McCloud and has since been developed over the span of two decades, reaching thousands of students worldwide.

“The artwork is really the byproduct,” explained Gillis. “The end product is the healing of oneself…the picking up of pieces that particularly women often let go of throughout their lives to accommodate for children or their husbands.”

Ultimately, through this method of art – people are to be empowered, begin that rebuilding of self-esteem.

It’s kind of like a push in the right direction to start recognizing those qualities that maybe were once lost, Gillis said.

On Thursday, June 30, from 6-9 p.m., for the From the Heart Paint Night, Gillis is asking Brighton residents to take a step outside their

comfort zone and try something new.

While this class will not specifically focus to help people who may be suffering from depression, for example, through the Colour of Woman method, Gillis is looking to take people on a bit of personal journey – one which will help those who’ve had their lives ripped apart by the wildfires in Fort McMurray.

“I’m going to ask people to think about losing everything,” she said.

“All the memories they’ve gathered over the years…the generations of stuff. Then ask them to envision what they want and how they want to start rebuilding and we’ll go from there.”

While admittedly a potentially emotional experience, participants will end up with a very personal piece and experience, says Gillis.

Often these pieces that are created go

on to serve as a reminders or symbols for people, the local artist added.

All art materials will be supplied by Gillis and her sister, Lori Maurer, a former member of the Brighton Arts Council is also lending a hand Thursday.

Gillis is hopeful for about 18 participants in total. There’s still space.

Ideally, reservations are preferable, however, given spaces are available, walk-ins will be welcomed, said Gillis.

Gillis’ class/fundraiser will be hosted at the Brighton Smokehouse Pub and Grill located at 6 Oliphant St. It’s $50 cash to participate and 50 per cent of the proceeds go to help Fort McMurray fire victims. E-mail wanderingruby.creativestudios@gmail. com for a spot or for more information.

Brighton ponders closing top No foul play suspected in part of road where railways woman’s death at CFB Trenton cross to save money

By John Campbell

TICO#50007364

Brighton – The municipality is considering closing Lawson Settlement Road at County Road 2 to avoid having to help pay for future upgrades to the railway crossing.

Brighton had to hand over $92,747 for maintenance work CN Rail did last year, and the railway has made it known the crossing’s current warning system needs to be upgraded in the near future at a cost of about $500,000.

The municipality would be responsible for covering 12.5 per cent of the expense, director of finance and administrative services Linda Widdifield said in a report.

Transport Canada has also “identified safety concerns ... due to insufficient warning light coverage” on County Road 2. CN says it is prepared to install additional sets of lights to improve the visibility of the crossing warning devices on Lawson Settlement Road.

Widdifield said the CN and CP tracks are very close to County Road 2, which “is not ideal and does not meet the crossing regulations and standards for a new crossing. Although there is flexibility and exemptions to existing crossings such as Lawson Settlement Road, the risk is still present.”

Closing the rail crossing would spare the municipality having to pay slightly more than $11,000 in annual flasher gate maintenance fees to CN and CP, and it could apply for $40,000 in grants to purchase barriers to stop traffic from crossing the railway lines once access was closed.

Closure requires giving residents, the fire department, emergency medical services, and other stakeholders the opportunity to ask questions and to make comment but Kirby Hakkesteegt, a poultry farmer on Lawson Settlement Road, didn’t wait for a public meeting to be called to voice his opposition to a closure.

“There’s never been an accident

at that rail crossing in ... 40 years,” he told council.

Shutting off access to County Road 2 would inconvenience more than farmers who use the road, and it would create “more of a traffic hazard” by forcing them to travel farther along County Road 2 with their tractors and equipment.

Since the crossing was repaired in 2015, “there has been a tremendous increase in traffic” along Lawson Settlement, Hakkesteegt added.

He closed on a “lighter note,” saying: “We enjoy hearing the train whistles. Our lives would be turned completely upside down if we didn’t hear them.”

CAO Bill Watson said the two rail lines being so close together “are probably the most dangerous type of road crossings because they tend to strand people.”

Council deferred until its July meeting a motion to schedule a public meeting with CN and CP representatives present.

Mayor Mark Walas complained after the meeting that the railways often give “little notice” of maintenance work, which costs the municipality money it hadn’t budgeted.

“We haven’t been able to obtain a longerterm plan,” Widdifield said. Being saddled with last-minute expenses “outside the budget process ... [is] difficult” and a “hardship for taxpayers.”

His expressed concern that it’s going to cost the municipality “an awful lot of money” to make them “passable but then the question will be for how long?”

Trenton – The Quinte West OPP and military police from Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton are continuing to investigate the death of a woman found dead in her residence at CFB Trenton.

Jasmine Reid, 32 of Trenton, was found dead at her residence where she resided with her common law spouse, a member of 8 Wing.

The post mortem was complete on Wednesday, June 22, at Ottawa Hospital.

According to the OPP news release, foul play is not suspected as a factor in Reid’s

death.

The Quinte West OPP Crime Unit and Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS) continue with the investigation under the direction of OPP Detective Inspector Rob Hagerman and Detective Staff Sergeant Rob Lake of the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB).

Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact the Quinte West OPP Crime Unit at 613-392-3561 or 1-888310-1122.

Brighton to find out what it will cost to land a doctor using professional recruiters appointed, information it can use “as it hits the ground so that it can consider hiring professional physician recruiters or not,� he said.

With the retirement of one doctor and more to follow in the “reasonably foreseeable� future, “there could be up to 5,000 persons in the Brighton area without a family doctor,� the two councillors said in their motion.

Given that the roster of a new doctor starting out after graduation is approximately 800 patients, compared to roughly 1,200 for an experienced MD, Brighton will need to recruit as many as five doctors,

By John Campbell Brighton – Council has directed staff to get in touch with three physician recruiting agencies to find out what it would cost for their services and what are the prospects of attracting doctors to Brighton.

Council approved making inquiries after Coun. John Martinello assured his colleagues that the motion he put forward June 20 with Coun.

they said. “I do truly believe that this is a very urgent issue and that if we are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayers’ money recruiting CAO’s and directors of public works, [then] we should at least be willing to examine looking at hiring professional physician recruiters,� Martinello said.

CAO Bill Watson welcomed Martinello having “cleared the air� over what the intent of the motion was, saying he had spoken with the councillor prior to the meeting “to make sure it’s not in competition� with what the committee will be do-

ing.

Watson said “some very strong candidates� with a medical background or experience in recruiting have applied for the five spots on the committee reserved for members of the community. Two council members will also serve on the committee.

The CAO said he had been making calls as well to local doctors because he would like at least one to be a member, or more but on a rotating basis, “to keep all the medical people engaged.�

FIVE PLAYS FOR $80

MPP prefers selling ‘way of life’ to providing incentives to recruit doctors

By John Campbell Brighton – MPP Lou Rinaldi isn’t a fan of using incentives to attract doctors.

“I detest municipalities who provide incentives to doctors to move to their communities,” he told council June 20, telling members that when he was mayor of Brighton, “we had two doctors coming to Brighton and a neighbouring municipality outbid us. I think that’s despicable, it’s something that should not happen. If you sell what you got as a way of life, that’s the way it should be.”

Recruiting doctors is “not an easy task,” he acknowledged, but there is help available, such as through the Health Force Ontario Marketing and Recruitment Agency.

“The challenge is we have to provide a venue where we [can] attract them to our communities,” he said. It’s “very critical” to have “a structure in place that you can go to graduating classes for doctors, to tell them about what you have.”

When asked by Coun. John Martinello why Brighton’s taxpayers have to foot the bill for the recruitment of doctors and the construction of facilities to assist in that effort, Rinaldi answered “it’s a long-standing way of doing things,” pointing out communities traditionally fund the construction of a hospital.

It’s also no different from trying to attract a new business by putting your “best foot forward,” he added, comparing physicians to contractors who operate their own business.

The responsibility of the province is to “produce doctors” and his government is graduating more new doctors than ever, 700-plus a year, he said.

“Don’t hold your breath if you’re waiting for the government [to provide funding], you need to step up to the plate,” Rinaldi said, “being very blunt,” citing the example set

by Brighton council and the community when together they raised $2 million to build the health services centre.

Rinaldi said he was “so delighted” that council had decided to bring back its physician recruitment committee.

“I can’t stress enough the fact that somebody’s got to tell these doctors that you’re here, that you need a doctor,” he said.

Council has set aside $100,000 for the recruitment of physicians.

Mayor Mark Walas said municipalities have the choice of offering incentives or not, but the “likelihood of being successful in attracting physicians without some sort of incentive package would be relatively slim.”

Councillor Roger McMurray said “municipalities with hospitals have a much easier time recruiting physicians than municipalities without Health care dominated much of the presentation MPP Lou Rinaldi made a hospital” and he asked the Nor- to Brighton council in his annual update on what’s taking place at Queen’s thumberland-Quinte West MPP if Park.

Brighton tumbler places second at national gymnastics championships Brighton – Years of hard work paid off for a 16-year-old East Northumberland Secondary School student who placed second in tumbling at his level at the 2016 Canadian Gymnastics Championships held earlier this month in Edmonton.

It’s the highest finish Murdock Siegner has achieved in three trips to the finals.

“It’s cool to me to be able to tell people that I’m a national athlete” who is “able to do well at a high level of competition,” he said.

To finish second “is pretty rewarding” after spending “so many years preparing” to reach his goal and suf-

fering a lot of bumps and bruises along the way as well as some ankle problems and a concussion.

“It’s a really dangerous sport,” Siegner said. “It feels nice to have it pay off, for everything that has happened, all my hard work.”

He began tumbling at Quinte Bay Gymnastics in Belleville when he was around 10. Then it was for recreation but three years later he decided to try his hand at competitive tumbling.

To reach the top has meant practising three hours a day three times a week year-round, although “it’s less intense during the summer,” Siegner said.

The most difficult part of a tumble pass is at the end, when he does a

“full-in,” which involves two flips, the first with a full twist, followed by a back flip before landing.

He improved so quickly that two years ago he advanced to the national championships for the first time, placing third in Ottawa.

“Murdock is an incredible overall athlete,” whose progression in tumbling has been “rapid,” said his Quinte Bay coach for the past four years, Jennie Reilly.

“Murdock is known in the tumbling community for the height he can generate in end skills and is consistently praised by other coaches and athletes at all of his competitions.”

Siegner has also won Elite Ontario Championships three times in the cat-

egory he competed in and he “always medals at Ontario Cups,” Reilly said.

“He’s not only successful in our gym but in every endeavour he takes on.”

The Grade 11 student also plays badminton and soccer at ENSS and qualified for OFSAA last year in hurdles.

He plans to study medicine at university to become a doctor which means he won’t have time to continue with his tumbling after he graduates from high school, he said.

So next year will be his final opportunity to capture that elusive first at the national level. Siegner sounds confident he will achieve his goal.

His chances, he said, are “looking pretty good.”

new Bernheisel-built Lazer chassis from Pennsylvania. There were growing pains, but Turner appears to have sorted out any issues. So what’s the secret?

“I haven’t had the car on scales all year, which nobody believes. All I did was send the shocks away to be rebuilt, the same as they were last year. We put them back on the car, set the ride height and moved a couple of bars. I didn’t think it would make that much of a difference. It’s just been good,” Turner said with a laugh, adding he hasn’t bolted a single new tire on the car since the calendar flipped to 2016.

Entering the season, Turner hoped to be a top-five car at Brighton come season’s end, a mark he fell just short of one year ago when he finished seventh. So far this year, he’s well on the way to achieving the mark. After seven races, Turner currently sits second,

Brighton – Adam Turner pulled off his second win of the season in spectacular fashion during the most exciting Vanderlaan Building Product Pro Late Model feature of the season last Saturday night at Brighton Speedway.

The accomplishment has landed Turner Campbellford Chrysler Driver of the Week honours.

Turner led the majority of the 30lap race, but saw his lead erased by a lap 26 caution. The restart pitted him against defending champion Charlie Sandercock and the two delivered an impressive show. Both drivers ran side-by-side over the last four laps and exchanged the lead four times with three slide jobs over the final two laps.

Turner emerged the victor, using the high lane to power to victory.

“It was the most fun I’ve had in a

racecar. It felt like a cool video you would watch on the Internet,” Turner said happily. “I thought with a couple of laps to go when I cleared him down the front stretch that I was going to be able to cruise. Then I went in to turn one and two. It got tight and it jumped the cushion a little bit. That’s when Charlie was able to throw the first slide job and take the top.”

The battle made the win that much sweeter, but the best part of the night took place in victory lane when Turner announced to the crowd he and his wife Stephanie are expecting a baby boy this fall.

“It was pretty neat that I got to do it that way,” Turner said of the announcement.

Turner, a native of Picton, Ont., has seen an impressive resurgence as a championship contender in Brighton’s top division.

CAS cruises to fundraising success

By Jack Evans Everyone agreed it was a wonderful day for a cruise on the bay. Especially officials of The Children’s Foundation, who enthused about the financial success of the fundraising project.

Connie Reid, executive director,

said the cruise was arranged partly to focus public attention on the agency’s new Picton office, now a space in the official CAS office. Since amalgamation of the Prince Edward, Northumberland and Hastings agencies a few years ago, the long-standing Hastings Children’s Foundation, which has been serving the Hastings CAS chil-

dren, that agency too has expanded to include all three counties.

In bright sun and gentle, balmy breezes, close to 200 people boarded the Kingston-based Island Queen at the Picton dock for a three-hour cruise down to Prinyers Cove and back. The fee was $50, with a second, evening dinner cruise later at $150

per person.

As passengers young and old, some in wheelchairs, boarded the ship, they were greeted by a nauticallydressed crew, while many others in the dock area were just spectators, waving farewell to friends or family.

Reid also gave an official welcome to the passengers, along with Susan

Rose, cruise committee chair, and Angus Francis, manager of children’s services for Highland Shores Children’s Aid. On top of the cruises themselves, the agency also ran 50-50 draws.

From a first-time project, Reid confirmed that it would become an annual event.

Catholic school board submits balanced budget at $145M The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board approved a balanced operating budget of $145.5 million and a capital budget of $8.6 million for the 201617 school year at the regular board meeting held June 21.

The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board has approximately 11,200 elementary and secondary students, 1,320 fulltime equivalent staff and covers a geographical area of more than 16,000 square kilometres, which in-

cludes Belleville and Quinte West.

The budget reflects the commitment of the Board of Trustees to meet the needs of the students within the confines of the provincial funding model. The budget aligns the Board’s Strategic Plan with the Ministry of Education’s goals which include achieving excellence, ensuring equity, promoting well-being and enhancing public confidence.

Board Chair Greg Speagle acknowledged that the province continues to make a substantive

commitment to funding education despite the financial challenges the province has experienced over the last few years.

“Despite the impact of funding challenges presented by declining enrolment over the years, we are pleased that trustees have once again been able to pass a balanced budget that will provide the opportunity for our students to achieve personal growth and academic success in a faith based community,” he said. The chair added that since

the planning of the 2016-17 budget was to realign resources to provide as much stability and balance to the school system and enhance program support to students while maintaining our focus on student achievement and well-being.

“To achieve this, a review of select programs and services was undertaken this year with the goal of aligning expenditures to funding provided by the province without accessing accumulated surplus to balance the budget.”

Hastings County Plowing Match moves north for 2016

By Diane Sherman Madoc Township – The annual Hastings County Plowing Match will be held at the historic McKinnon farm in Madoc Township, on land once thought too rocky to plow for even family farming. Over the past 166 years, the McKinnons have cleared those obstacles and now, six genera-

tions later, work 980 acres.

The plowing match has a clear 60 acres suitable for their event. Don McKinnon is 91 on June 21, and his son Angus and granddaughter Haley Mason are bringing in the hay this year.

Their ancestors emigrated in 1850 from the Isle of Sky, off the coast of Scotland, to settle 100 acres on

the curve of Queensborough Road, just east of Hazzard’s Corners in the Township of Madoc.

The original section is still in the family and over the years, as others gave up farming or wanted to sell off land, the family farm gradually expanded.

Don had dairy cattle for years until he gave that up due to aging and a

more complicated market. They now raise beef cattle and sheep, grow corn for silage and market their soybeans.

Don and his wife Madeline had three children. Angus chose to farm while Anna and Ardith followed in their mother’s path to become teachers.

Haley, Anna’s daughter, has taken to farm life. She was about to bring the

baler around to pick up the first cut from the field where exhibitors will set up August 24-25 for the match.

The township has assisted in opening up access entrances to two fields off Queensborough Road. The back field is where demonstrations of antique machinery will be, and two fields are dedicated to the plowing match itself.

Don McKinnon, his son Angus, granddaughter Haley and their family will host the 2016 Hastings County Plowing Match at their farm in Madoc Township, August 24-25. Photo by Diane Sherman

CAS holds first aboriginal workshop

By Jack Evans Native communities at Tyendinaga and Aldersville that have been part of the regional Children’s Aid Society for some years, may decide to separate and either form their own societies or join with other establishes native aid societies, the Highland Shores CAS board was told recently.

That information was part of a report of the first aboriginal workshop day held recently, with sessions by CAS staff in both Tyendinaga and Aldersville, said Mark Kartusch, executive director.

He described the sessions as hugely successfully and stressed that any parting of the ways would be amicable with the present CAS which spans Hastings, Prince Edward and Northumberland counties standing by to offer assistance as needed.

Nora Sawyer, chair of the agency’s Aboriginal Advisory Committee, expanded, to describe the day as “Aboriginal 101,” and described it as interesting and exciting. The format of holding sessions in two places on the same day remained challenging though, she said. The Aldersville session was held “outdoors,” because “things are different outside.” She said she is working on an “evaluation” and expressed hope for more such sessions in the future.

Kartusch also reviewed results of a recent initiative by the province for all Children’s Aid Societies to review their levels of service and satisfaction. The local unit came “around the provincial

average overall, but the province’s goal is to meet all standards by 100 per cent,,” he said, indicating programs to improve in each quarter.

In reviewing the draft audit for the past year, one member questioned the society’s use of “interest swop.” It was explained that for large loans, various institutions offer such a program by which one can save several interest points from normal mortgage or lending rates. There is a fixed rate of four per cent, plus a half per cent add-on, which is renegotiated from time to time. The system is widely used by agencies and municipal councils taking on large projects.

Board members and staff also enthused about the recent Awards Night for CAS care children, especially the bursary awards. Kartusch recalled that in 2003 the society had only one child in care attending post secondary education. Now, with the program expanded throughout the three counties, there are 60 to 70 kids enrolled in post secondary, thanks to the foundation. He described the evening, held in Loyalist College as one of “heart.”

The board also reviewed the role of the foundation in sending increased numbers of children to summer camp, including 22 from Prince Edward County alone, also a new first time project – a cruise on the Bay of Quinte on the Kingston-based Island Queen, set for Picton on the next day with more than 120 children expected.

The board will not hold any regular meetings during the summer, but has its annual general meeting set for Thursday, Sept. 8 in Cobourg.

Municipalities will be given the choice of electing candidates by ranked ballots

By John Campbell Trent Hills – The provincial government will be offering municipalities the option of switching from a “first past the post” system for electing council members to using ranked ballots in 2018.

Under the new system, electors vote by ranking candidates for office in order of their preference. Votes

are distributed based on the rankings.

The province is also shortening the period in which a person can register as a candidate. Currently it runs from Jan. 1 to the second Friday in September; in 2018, nominations won’t be accepted until May 1 and the deadline will be the end of July.

Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi spoke about the changes contained in the Municipal Elections

Modernization Act during his annual visits to councils in Brighton, Trent Hills and Cramahe Township last week.

Rinaldi said the government received about 3,600 submissions from stakeholders, with “a lot of them from municipal councils [saying] a year of campaigning was too long.”

Corporate and union donations to candidates to help offset election

costs also are being banned, he said.

The new law, which takes effect in 45 days, sets out a regulatory process for moving to ranked ballots.

Before a municipality can pass a bylaw to make it happen, it must hold an open house to explain how the election is be conducted, including a description of vote counting, and the estimated costs. A public meeting must also be held after the open house takes place.

Rinaldi stressed it’s “strictly at the option of the municipality” whether it sticks with what’s in place now or switches to ranked ballots.

No such system currently exists in Canada, he said, but it is used

Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan said shortening the registration period for candidates “seems a good idea” because the last campaign “was just painful, unnecessary, costly.”

However, he has no interest in introducing ranked ballots in Trent Hills.

With the smaller voter turnouts that “we’re seeing, I don’t see where there would be any advantage to it,” Macmillan said. “It’s always been my firm belief that a race is a race and first past the post wins it...Either you won or you didn’t.”

Deputy Mayor Bob Crate said six to eight weeks to run a campaign is long enough. He also wasn’t in favour of ranked ballots because “people who don’t win [would] somehow have a chance to be a representative.

I don’t agree with it.”

Bring them inside

By Dan Clost I started gardening, seriously, when we moved into our first home. I grew up on a farm and I’m sure there were flowers but I don’t remember; perhaps there were some peonies. I do remember a substantial vegetable garden and all of the crops in our fields.

Our first home was on Victoria Ave. in Trenton and came with a very small backyard; the front porch was 8” off of the sidewalk and there were no sideyards. The house, itself, was spacious and just right for a new family but there was not much in the way of greensward. At the time, I was employed at Morning Star Orchard. The train tracks bisected the tree blocks and there were many old railway ties cluttering the road. Being young, I hauled a number of them up the slope, brought them home and sawed them up in order to create triangular flower beds and a two-tiered back yard. I learned three things from this exercise: the tar or creosote used as a preservative also was an effective herbicide; it was very hard work with a bow saw; and, the embankments were covered with Rhus radicans, aka poison ivy. The beds were filled with annuals, every year. I scoured

all of the nurseries in the area, many of which are no longer in operation, to pick up several cell packs at each.

I was a serious consumer and made it a point to thoroughly check out the market before committing myself.

More than a few decades later I approach annuals in a much less serious manner and tend to pick up a flat of whatever at whatever outlet I happen to be closest to. (I don’t buy petunias.) However, I do like impatiens and continue to plant several flats of them wherever I have an empty shady place. I have never had any issues with diseases.

I spent hours tending to our little plots, nipping off every senescent (dead) leaf from marigolds, balsam impatiens and asters. Today, I seldom deadhead and if I do I use big honking lawn shears. In those early days, I would not allow anyone to make bouquets; the flowers had to remain on the plants else wise they would be less than they should be. I was not at all pleasant when someone snapped off a stem to take home and squirrels quickly learned that I would track them down if they nipped a bud or two in the bud. Over the maturing years, the pendulum oscillated to the other end of the arc and has stayed there. When someone, especially

ments on a a younger person, comments pretty bloom, I’m likely to nip it off em. I know myself and give it to them. duce a new the plant will soon produce flower and it is possiblee that whor, especially ever received the flower, a younger person, will bee inspired to start their own garden. joy walking Today, I thoroughly enjoy into our home and seeingg fresh bouus rooms of quets of blooms in various the home, whether it is a small vase ms or a large with only one or two stems wers, ferns, bouquet including flowers, rsythia, weihardwood stems (e.g. forsythia, gela), and even grasses.

Bench mysteriously re-appears in Campbellford’s community garden

By John Campbell Campbellford – The bench is back.

Missing for more than a week, the bench made from a 300-year-old barn beam was returned to Campbellford Community Edibles Garden sometime overnight June 21-22.

“It was very saddening when it was taken,” committee member Rebekah Leach-King said, but while it was gone she was cheered by the community’s “overwhelming” show of support, with people offering to donate another bench or volunteering to make one.

She doesn’t know why it was removed — “people have errors of judgment” — but the committee is “so thankful it’s back,” she said.

Fellow committee member Joan Sheppard said more than 80 people responded when the group revealed on Facebook the bench had been stolen.

“Everybody was working hard to try to find the bench and bring it back,” she said.

With its return, the committee can again focus its attention on the community garden, which Sheppard said is “alive and well, everything is growing” — including basil, oregano, dill, mint, cilantro, cabbage, green and yellow beans, beets, tomatoes, peppers, onions, swiss chard, kale, and cucumbers. They’re growing in 30 raised beds made of wood frames;

elsewhere, it’s squash in a cultivated area, and peas in a spot where they can climb.

“We will have pick days and/or set up a little stand here one day a week for people to come get what’s ready,” she said, and they’re “certainly welcome to come out and volunteer,” to pick weeds or to water the plants.

“It’s a wonderful thing for the town, it’s really brought everybody together,” said Janice Bell, who painted the sign at no charge using money donated by another garden supporter, Klarissa Kocsis, to purchase the material.

The community garden “is part of a universal movement, this is happening all over the world,” Sheppard said.

“We love what we’re doing, it’s a passion for all of us,” Leach-King said. The “core of volunteers” who help out “are just fantastic, they’re unsung heroes.”

Good news on two fronts: The bench has been returned to Campbellford Community Edibles Garden and there’s a sign now letting passersby know about the garden’s existence. Janice Bell, on the left, made the sign at no cost, with a donation of money for material from Klarissa Kocsis.

Theatre guild to continue search for annex

By Jack Evans Despite a disappointing experience in dealing with Belleville city hall for the hoped-for purchase of the former Irish-Canadian Hall, the Belleville Theatre Guild will continue to seek for a suitable “annex” property for rehearsal, storage, set building and training.

President Moira Forrester summed up the experience in her report to the BTG annual meeting Wednesday eve-

ning.

Except for the property deal, the 2015-16 year was a huge success for the guild, she summed up.

Reviewing the property deal, the guild made an offer when the city offered it for sale, but it was edged out by another offer. Then the city reported that one had fallen through and the guild offer could stand. The board got tentative approval for a mortgage through QuintEssential Credit Union but wanted to know about taxes, hoping to have them waived as a local

charity group. City Hall could not or would not even tell them how much the taxes might be and, as for a rebate, referred them to the Municipal Property Assessment Commission. That report did not arrive in time for the deadline and the city refused any extension so the deal fell through. (The city has now listed the property for sale again.)

Forrester made it clear she thought the city’s treatment of a long-standing community charity was shabby, but suggested the guild might be better off

A visit to the heart of the Yukon gold rush

By John M. Smith Dawson City was the very heart of the Yukon Gold Rush, which began back in 1896 when George Carmack, Dawson Charlie, and Skookum Jim Mason struck it rich on Bonanza Creek (then known as Rabbit Creek), a tributary of the Klondike River. The area was immediately staked and claimed, but word of the discovery of “a ton of gold” that ran in a newspaper article in Seattle the following year triggered off a mass migration of gold-seekers. It was 1898 before the actual influx arrived into the Yukon, and it’s believed that about 100,000 set off on the journey, and about 30,000 actually made it.

The ambitious and money-hungry arrived in Skagway, Alaska, the gateway to the Yukon, and then made the arduous journey toward Dawson City. By the time that these goldseekers arrived, they discovered that there was actually almost no chance of finding gold anymore, for all the best spots had already been claimed.

They now found themselves in a strange, harsh land, with very little hope for immediate wealth or even a regular job. To survive, many of these new residents became entrepreneurs to provide services to the

miners and other townsfolk.

The tiny village of Dawson City, basically just a native summer fish camp and moose hunting area, suddenly had the largest population of any city north of Seattle and west of Winnipeg. What a change!

By 1899, the Gold Rush was basically over, so the thriving “metropolis” of Dawson City was basically a “one year wonder”, and then its population began to plummet once again. You might liken this phenomenon to so many rock bands and singers who come along with a great song and then simply peter out, never to get such a hit again.

Dawson City now has a population of less than 2,000, and the historic town centre is a National Historic Site. You won’t find any cement sidewalks or modern highrises here, for it’s to be preserved as it once was. Therefore, many tourists come here to simply re-live this enthralling piece of history, to walk along the old-time boardwalks and to check out such renowned establishments as the Dawson City Museum (housed in the former Territorial Administrative Building), the Dawson City Fire Fighter Museum ( the Yukon’s oldest fire department), Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall

(with its vaudeville show and highkicking Gold Rush Girls) and the Sourdough Saloon in the Downtown Hotel (where one can join the “Sourtoe Cocktail Club” by consuming a drink with a dehydrated human toe immersed in it). Most visitors also want to go to the very spot where that gold was discovered in 1896 on Bonanza Creek, and this can be reached by taking a stroll along the Discovery Trail to the Discovery Claim site. Just upstream from there is Free Claim #6 (now owned and maintained by the Klondike Visitors Centre), where a visitor can pan for gold in Bonanza Creek – and you get to keep your findings! It’s also possible to visit Dredge #4, on Claim #17, and to get a guided tour of this humungous piece of equipment, the largest wooden hull dredge in the world. Now a National Historic Site, it was used to mine the gold. It could dig up the gold-bearing gravel at a rate of 22 buckets per minute!

Of course, this certainly altered the area’s landscape, leaving large mounds of waste product, tailings, in its aftermath.

As a former English teacher, I just had to visit the homes of writers Robert Service, Jack London, and Pierre Berton while in Daw-

son City. I also enjoyed an excursion on the Klondike Spirit, an old paddlewheeler, where I passed an old paddlewheel graveyard, a native community, and the cave home of Caveman Bill (I’ll be elaborating on this in a future article).

Another summertime “must do” in Dawson City is a trip up to the summit of Midnight Dome for the spectacular view. This knob of metaphoric rock is located just south of the Tintina Trench fault line, and it’s a tradition for locals and visitors alike to come up here on June 21, for it will be light for most of the 24 hour time span of summer solstice. You can take a photo of the valley below at midnight! For the avid golfer, this same date is perfect for the “Midnight Sun Golf Tournament”, when teams of five play in a best ball tournament at midnight.

Other interesting annual events in the summer include the Dawson City Music Fest, the Yukon River Quest (the longest river race), the Yukon Gold Panning Championships, the Top of the World Highland Games, and the Great Klondike Outhouse Race.

While in the vicinity, I’d also recommend taking a trip on the

unpaved Dempster Highway to Tombstone Territorial Park, where you’ll find a vast area of pristine wilderness. You might even choose to sample a cup of Mountain Wild tea in the Tombstone Interpretive Centre.

Yes, there are many things to see and do on a summertime visit to Dawson City, the heart of the Yukon Gold Rush. You’ll also find that there are still gold-seekers in this area, with several small, active, privately owned gold-mining operations.

Support the Troops open stage provides year-round musical venue

By Brett Mann Madoc – Only a handful of people under protective tarps braved blistering heat to appreciate the live music on offer at June’s Support the Troops open stage at the Arts Centre Hastings in Madoc, but the enthusiasm of the musicians was not diminished by the small audience. The monthly event has been going on for about three years, winter and summer says organizer Cliff Andrews.

“It was initially started between myself and the Lions Club,” says Andrews, who is a retired Chief Warrant Officer in the Service Corps of the Canadian Army. “It was just when we finished off with when the buses came through Tweed for Afghanistan.

“Just when that had finished we thought maybe we should do something to continue on with this because the troops did such a great job for us.

And they still do other things.” The open stage occurs on the third Sunday of each month from January to September and attracts a mix of musical styles and experience. “For the winter months of course we’re indoors. For the summer months we try to move outside as much as possible.” Andrews adds that the local cable TV company, Hastings Cable has recorded some of the events and some are available on You Tube.

Last year, in collaboration with the Lions Club, the open stage raised $600 for the Military Family Resource Centre in Trenton, Andrews reports. Musician Christine Ouelette adds her talents to the line up at June’s SupThe music is free but a donation box is port the Troops open stage in Madoc. Photo by Brett Mann always available on-site. Centre Hastings provides the venue and sound system and Andrews says, “We’ll Eastern ontario s premier keep going as long as the musicians art exhibition & sale keep coming out and people want to hear live music.”

Campbellford Cougar ace joins Team Canada Ciders of many kinds growing in popularity Ontario Craft Cider Week was celebrated recently in bars across the province. Among those taking part was Church-Key Pub & Grindhouse in Campbellford, which invited cider makers to give samples of their wares. Accepting owner John Graham’s offer to make their products more widely known were, l-r, Chris McRae (Empire Cider, Codrington), Aaron Crang and Cassie Cobosh (County Cider Company, Waupoos), and Danielle Leavitt (401 Cider, Colborne). Cider sales have taken off the past year, they said, growing in popularity among consumers eager to try out new flavours of the beverage.
