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 Quinte West 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 said 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 be complete by the end of 2019. “We’re going to be adding a lot of new equipment and we’re going to need new people for that equipment,” said CEO for Kruger Products, Mario Gosselin, who noted without the province’s contribution and the collaboration of many, the expansion project wouldn’t be possible. These new jobs will not only be a significant boost to Trenton, says Rinaldi, but also beyond. Brighton Mayor Mark Walas shared a similar opinion Wednesday, adding he foresees the creation of these new jobs as a benefit to the region at large. “This investment, it made a lot of sense – this really is an ideal situation,” said Rinaldi. “They’ve invested more than $50 million – so they’re serious… Kruger’s a well established company… an employer this size – an industry of this magnitude will impact greater Quinte and beyond, frankly. It’s a winwin. The people that work here, they’re going to spend their money locally too.” The Jobs and Prosperity Fund is providing $2.7 billion in the next 10 years to help enhance productivity, bolster innovation and grow Ontario’s exports. Business support is provided from the province, contingent on the company “meeting stringent investment and job targets.” The Ministry of Economic Develop-

ment and Growth reports, projects are closely monitored to protect taxpayers and include multiple claw-back provisions, if targets are not met. While Rinaldi notes there have been some folks who’ve been critical of government assistance in this way, he says it’s “totally vital.” The MPP anticipates working with Kruger Products on future expansion in years to come. “We’re talking about 300 fairly wellpaying jobs here,” Rinaldi noted, which makes the MPP confident the government is on the right track. Gosselin announced Wednesday the company is already considering the potential for attaching a warehouse to the Trenton facility in the future. Kruger Products is considered one of Canada’s largest manufacturers and distributors of tissue products – Cashmere bathroom tissue, SpongeTowels and Scotties facial tissue, etc. The Trenton site, purchased about two years ago and totaling around 200,000 square-feet, is part of the away-fromhome division, which helps supply products to customers in hotels, arenas, restaurants and hospitals. “This is one of the most significant investments I’ve seen in a long time,” said Mayor Harrison, who noted the last similar announcement for the area came from McKesson’s. “Everyone working together has made this

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 demonstration. “The numbers are down,” he said. “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 benefits not just monarchs but all sorts of other species” has “very much so” taken hold among the public, as more people “are setting aside a portion of their property” in aid of wildlife. The Colborne native who now lives in Toronto enjoys coming back year after year to talk about the monarchs. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said, especially as it affords him the opportunity to speak to children who “aren’t getting the natural history education that perhaps we once did. They don’t appreciate that we’re part of nature, too.”

Emotional town hall session hears plight of military veterans By Stephen Petrick Belleville – One by one, they took the microphone and spoke about how Veterans Affairs Canada has let them down. A town hall-style meeting on veterans affairs, hosted by Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis at the Fairfield Inn on Aug. 31, turned into an emotional cry from the heart, as participants spoke about how a lack of support for veterans is stressing out spouses and causing those who’ve defended the country to live with a poor quality of life. A woman who took the podium repeatedly, who only identified herself as Louise, asked Ellis to see a photo of her entire family so he would personally know that children are being impacted by Veterans Affairs’ slow-moving and apparently sloppy bureaucracy. The woman said she’s a caregiver for her husband and their children and too often paper work she files to access benefits and services gets lost. “My husband sacrificed his physical health, his mental health; you cannot lose my mail,” she said, her voice rising in anger, while fighting off tears. Ellis moments later took the photo she had removed from her purse

and gave the woman a hug. She wasn’t the only one who spoke about how Veterans Affairs needs to serve spouses of veterans better, by helping them understand how to access services or benefits they’re entitled to, in some cases, after their spouse’s death. “I found doing the paper work is very confusing,” said a woman whose spouse had recently died. “They use a lot of letters and not spelling out what these letters means ... The money is not coming through as fast as it should be. I don’t know how long it’s going to be for CPP or for old age.” Dozens of other emotional pleas were given at the meeting, which was attended by about 100 people, of which roughly half seemed to be veterans themselves. The group was told the Belleville meeting was the third of four mandated town hall-style meetings being held across the country to gather input on how to improve services for vets. Ellis didn’t speak a lot at the meeting, but took notes, along with the meeting’s other host, Skip Simpson, who works for Ellis’s office. The feedback gathered was intended to go to Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr. There was a lot at stake for Ellis at the meeting, as the rookie Lib-

eral MP was recently appointed to chair a federal standing committee on Veterans Affairs. Prior to the Oct. 2015 election, the Liberals campaigned to add more services and benefits for veterans, given that Veterans Affairs was subjected to heavy criticism when under the Stephen Harper administration, when Veterans Affairs offices were shuttered across the country in an effort to save money. Harper’s former Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino also came under fire during the Conservative era for confrontational meetings with veterans. One speaker at the town hall acknowledged that Ellis and his Liberal colleagues are new in the role. “You came into power saying you’re going to do things for veterans, as long as you do it, you’ll be all right,” the man said. But still other speakers took the microphone with fury in their voices. A question posed to the audience about how the federal governStream ment should “reestablish lifelong pensions as an option for injured veterans,” sparked passion.

Several people suggested that the federal government must put a system in place where more veterans will qualify for a good pension or good benefits, especially if they’ve been injured on the job. “They deserve a pension for life,”

said a man who identified himself as Ron Marsh. “You’ve got to stop this nonsense. If I lost my legs working on a factory I’d have $1,500 a month,” he said, smacking his hands in anger.

Savage coyote attacks on pets leave residents in fear 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 coyote-hybrid, 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 home. Jehnna had already grabbed Sam-

– I mean just about everyone has a pet,” said Sparks. All summer, the pair said there have been posts for missing cats on the neighbourhood mailbox. A newer resident to the neighbourhood, who did not want her name published, is equally “scared.” The woman no longer feels safe to spend time in her backyard with her dog or to garden. She’s got a pot and medal spoon resting by the backdoor just in case. “I just put my dog on her leash, she does her thing and we come back in right away,” she said. Residents say it’s nothing “out of the ordinary” to hear coyotes howling at night in the area. People do spot them over the years – but nothing like this has ever happened before, said Pratt. And this animal has been “hanging around for weeks.” “This thing was huge,” said Pratt, adding the size of the animal was more comparable to a German shepherd. “It didn’t have the long snout or real pointed ears either – it was just so big and its tail, it was massive.” The group is worried the animal that attacked Eddie may be some sort of coyote-dog hybrid with some wolf mixed in. Pratt first saw the animal a few weeks back, during broad daylight. “I was in the garage reading the newspaper,” she said. “Then I saw these legs go by and thought what was that? He was just strutting along without a care in the world.” Later that day, Pratt was peeling potatoes at the kitchen sink and looked out the window – there it was again. “He seems to be getting bolder,” said Pratt, encroaching the residential area more and more. “It’s scary.” What’s most frustrating for the residents they say, there appears to be no one that can help. They say they GoMcCoy.com are tired of hear613-969-8884 81 Millennium PKWY. Unit D, Belleville ON K8N 4Z5 ing nothing can

uel 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 eight-and-half-months pregnant and I’ve spent the last three days crying. This could have been Samuel, my two-year-old 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 fencedin 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?” Sparks has two young grandchildren and a wiener dog. She’s lived on Huron Drive for 24 years. “We do find bunny parts in the park,” she said. She and Pratt have armed themselves with whistles when they go out for artistic director walks. stéphane lemelin “There are a lot of people with dogs in the neighbourhood

be done – firearms in a residential area aren’t permitted within the town and the animal can’t be trapped either. “We’re just suppose to be aware,” said Pratt. CAO for Brighton, Bill Watson, encourages residents to visit the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry website to “read up on ways to discourage coyotes from hanging around.” If a person feels as though they are in immediate danger, he added, they’re encouraged to contact the police.

“The municipality doesn’t have any expertise to deal with wildlife such as this,” he said. The town has no animal control services or other similar services to refer people to and municipal staff certainly can’t be carrying weapons in a residential area, he noted. “This is rare to see, but it does happen a little bit,” he said. “It’s extremely rare for coyotes to go after kids or people at all. Unlike bears, coyotes aren’t identified as nuisances and for the most part they’ve adapted and are well integrated with humans.”

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.

Feds getting tough Wellers Bay National Wildlife Area By Erin Stewart Prince Edward County – Environment Canada cracked down over the summer months on enforcing the laws at Wellers Bay National Wildlife Area (NWA), a long and narrow sand spit prohibited to the public. Located in Prince Edward County, west of Consecon, Wellers Bay (NWA) consists of a long sand spit and three small islands, Bald Island, Fox Island and Baldhead Island. The area is part of the Baldhead Peninsula and is one of the last undeveloped sand spits on Lake Ontario. Federal enforcement agents are promising to continue heavy patrols of the area, issuing fines to violators. “It’s one of the last sand dunes ecosystems on the north shore of Lake Ontario that is remaining, that has not been developed,” said Martin Thabault, operations manager, wildlife enforcement directorate, Environment and Climate Change Canada. Wellers Bay (NWA) is an important stopover and staging habitat for migratory birds and is home to several federally listed species at risk including the Least Bittern, Snapping Turtle, Pugnose Shiner and Monarch. It is also the last known resting location of the endangered Piping Plover on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario. Not only is the Wellers Bay (NWA) protected against human contact to preserve the ecosys-

On Baldhead Island, there are signs to warn the public against bringing boats ashore and trespassing on the National Wildlife Area and signs pertaining to the unexploded ordnances. Submitted photo

tem, the area is also a public safety concern. “It was a military bombing range during the Second World War and for a few years after and it’s never entirely been cleared of unexploded ordnance,” said Thabault. “There is still quite a few pieces of unexploded ordnances that remain in the area, it is dangerous.” Wildlife officers issued 19 tickets with a fine of $100 and 30 warnings for trespassing on Wellers Bay (NWA) over the summer. Thabault said there are signs to warn the public against bringing boats ashore and trespassing on the National Wildlife Area and signs pertaining to the unexploded ordnances. “It’s not uncommon to see people putting their boats ashore next to a sign and even tying their boats to the sign and going to the wildlife area,” he said. The department said officers would be paying close attention to enforcement over the past Labour Day weekend when the island beaches are traditionally popular with boaters.

ily affair. Freshman Bryan Raymond, 18, travelled from his hometown of North Bay with his parents to move into residence and said the process was great with many helping hands from volunteers. “It was quick, it was a lot faster than I thought it was going to go,” he said. “Especially with all of the help, the guys pulled everything in in pretty much one trip, it was great.” Raymond said he wanted to go to Loyalist for the electrical program because he has family in the area and his parents went to Loyalist and met at the college. “My parents both went here, that’s kind of cool, I like Belleville, it’s nice to have a change,“ he said. “I’m looking forward to the residence life, just hanging out with my roommates and making new friends, I’m sure it’ll be fun.” Summer officially came to an end for hundreds of Loyalist College students as the campus bustled with activity while students moved into residence on Labour Day Monday, Sept. 5. Dylan Hayes, 21, is going into his third year at Loyalist College and volunteered to be part of the move in crew at the residences. “I’ve basically been lifting anything that’s heavy, I’ve lifted 82 mini-fridges which is the new record now, previous was 79,” he said. “Basically lifting anything heavy has been my job.” As a third year student, Hayes said he really noticed that first year students moving into resi-

dence seem to bring much more than they are going to need. Sustainable Loyalist volunteers were also on hand and set up a free market with items left behind in residence last year. “A lot of things were left behind, like I mean a lot of things,” said Brett Black, 20, Sustainable Loyalist volunteer and second year student. “We’re giving it away to people who need it or basically if you forgot something at home.” Black said there was a lot of cutlery and small household items, drapes and a lot of older computers being given away from the school. Abi Coville, 18, said she was feeling excited and nervous about moving into residence and away from home in North Augusta for the first time. Heading into Loyalist’s social service worker program, Coville said she chose Loyalist because she has family in town and “it’s only two hours away and I like the school and the program, all of the teachers were really nice,” she said. Coville said the move in process went really well and she’s excited to meet new people. “We just had a bunch of people help us move in so that was nice because everything is really heavy,” she said. “I live in a small town so coming to a little bit of a bigger town, not so big, it’s nice to meet different people.”

New ENSS principal returns to her roots, the home of the Blue Dragons By John Campbell Brighton – East Northumberland Secondary School’s new principal can still recall when she was “a baby Blue Dragon back in the day” and the cheer she used to sing as a Grade 9 student: “E9A, E9A, All you hosers, Take off, eh!” “Yeah, it was the ‘80s – jelly shoes and acid washed jeans,” Charlotte Filip told the school’s newest students during orientation day as she tried to set their minds at ease Sept. 1 days ahead of their beginning secondary school this week. Back then, “it wasn’t a nice transition,” making the jump from Grade 8 to Grade 9, she said, but now it’s a different story, which she and other faculty members spelled out, describing the various resources and supports the teenagers could count on to help them adjust to life in new academic surroundings. Their key message to the 120 Grade 9 students: Get involved. “It’s new, it’s exciting, it’s a little nerve-wracking,” Filip said. “What really made it memorable for me and made me feel connected to ENSS was being part of the sports, the extracurriculars ... getting involved beyond the regular school day,” she said. “I strongly suggest you take that risk.” She also urged parents to also encourage their children “to get involved, it really makes a difference.”

Vice-principal Lisa Hickman told the students there are “lots of caring adults in the building” and she emphasized the importance of their “having a go-to person on staff” they can approach when they need help. Filip, who started her teaching career at Campbellford District High School in 1993, was a vice-principal at ENSS when she was named principal of Bowmanville High School five years ago, so “I certainly have lots of blue and gold in my blood.” She replaces Jeff Kawzenuk who’s now the principal of Cobourg Collegiate. “I’m really excited to be here,” Filip said. “I feel very privileged to be back at such a fabulous school. ENSS has an incredible reputation not only in this community but throughout Kawartha Pine Ridge. The school is getting state-of-the-art science labs that will “not only enhance teaching but really engage our learners and help [with] student success.” She reiterated the importance of new students stepping outside “their comfort zone” to participate in extracurricular programs and to connect with the school and its teachers. “It just makes the four years that much more enjoyable and enriching,” Filip said. ENSS teacher Liz Payette, aka “Mother Dragon,” explained the house program the school introduced last year that divides the The Colborne native resides in Grafton with student population into groups of 150 or so, who compete for points in various ways, such as helping teachers, in order to win her husband Mike, a retired principal, and their the Dragon Cup.

Province helps ENSS and other schools with upgrades By Sarah Hyatt Brighton – An increase in repair and renewal funding from the province is benefiting some local schools. MPP Lou Rinaldi for Northumberland-Quinte West, announced Wednesday, Aug. 31, students across the riding will start the school year off with better buildings and learning facilities, as a result of “extensive repair and renewal work,” completed over the summer by local school boards. On Aug. 31, the MPP visited both

Belleville

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, said 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 10 years,” she noted. “These new labs will offer students the hands-on experience to learn and have fun.” The revamped labs include everything – 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 excite-

ment,” 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.

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.”

Upcoming United Way campaign will be Judi Gilbert’s last By Stephen Petrick If United Way of Quinte supporters want to get Judi Gilbert a parting gift, they can help her achieve one more campaign goal. Gilbert, the respected executive director of the fundraising agency, announced recently she will resign from her position next March. That means the upcoming fall fundraising campaign will be her last. In her five previous campaigns, she helped the United Way reach its goal. This year’s goal will be announced during the Food Trucks United event, at Trenton’s Centennial Park, on Saturday, Sept. 17. That goal is expected to be slightly higher than

last year’s goal of $2.1 million, which was achieved just in the nick of time. Every year the United Way runs a campaign that extends from September to the end of the year and the proceeds are split between dozens of social agencies and non-profits that make a positive difference in the Quinte community. It’s not an easy task, as Gilbert and her staff work hard to create employee donation programs, sponsorship opportunities, individual donor programs and run special fundraising events. But it’s a task that she’s up for again, as she heads into the final year. “I’m very passionate about the work I do, I have an incredible team; that’s always top in mind,” she said. “As I’ve said, this has been a wonderful and incredible journey for me. It’s made me who I am.” Gilbert said she plans on leaving to resurrect her consulting business, which she’s left unactive since joining the United Way. She works as a consultant for both non-profits and private businesses, working on issues such as change management and marketing and communications. Gilbert has told her board of directors she’ll remain on with the United Way until March 1. This ensures the transition process will not disrupt this year’s campaign. It also ensures there’s no rush to hire her replacement and it may even allow an overlap period for her to help her successor. Gilbert said she feels good about her decision, both for her own sake and for the sake of the United Way. She believes an organization can often benefit from a fresh pair of eyes. “It certainly does not hurt an organization,” she said. “I’m ready to move on with my career and I’m ready for a new challenge. But I think it’s good for the organization as well. New leadership brings new ideas – I’m all for that. I’m comfortable knowing that’s the case. “I feel comfortable with where the organization is at this point and what we were able to accomplish.” During Gilbert’s tenure with the

United Way she saw the number of agencies seeking support grow and, as a result, the campaign goal increased slightly each year. The United Way now has three focuses when it raises and distributes funds. They are: All that Kids Can Be, From Poverty to Possibility and Strong Communities. Each agency that’s successful in qualifying has a mandate that can be summarized by one of those three focuses. “The United Way is an organization that is changing,” Gilbert said. “We’re a community impact organization, we look at what are the priorities in the community and what do we need to look at.” Gilbert said she’s grateful for the opportunity to work with the United Way staff and its board of directors. And the board accepted the notice of her intent to leave with a heavy heart. “The Board of Directors accepted Judi’s six-month notice with mixed emotions – sadness at losing such an outstanding leader and delight for Judi as she embarks on the next

phase of her career,” said Brenda Pergantes, chair of the United Way board. “For all of us who have had the pleasure of working with Judi since becoming Executive Director in May, 2011, we are well aware of her passion for our United Way, her dedication to her staff and her entrepreneurial spirit that has led to huge accomplishments for both the organization and the communities it serves. We know that she will lead this year’s campaign with the same professionalism and dedication.” A statement from the board noted that Gilbert’s tenure with the United Way was a successful one. Under her leadership, she and her team not only reached a fundraising milestone of over $2 million in the 2013 campaign but also achieved a 25 per cent growth in the organization’s annual campaigns over a five-year period. As well, Gilbert oversaw the successful implementation of its Community Impact strategy aimed at continuing to bring about measureable and permanent change for people throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties. ``My decision was a difficult one,” Gilbert said. “I feel blessed and proud to have held this position and continue to know how fortunate I am to work with a staff team that is so professional and passionate about the United Way of Quinte. And of course, we cannot meet our goals year over year without the inEst. 1874 credible support and generosity of Loyalist Parkway our donors, community partners and volunteers.”

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.

Loyalist Lancers sports teams ready to joust in 2016 By Stephen Petrick Belleville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugby team begin their regular seasons on Saturday, Sept. 17, when they host the rival St. Lawrence College Vikings. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 bronzemedal game, where the team lost to St. Lawrence College. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugby team hopes to make the playoff this year, after missing them last season with a 2-4 record. Loyalist also has a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to begin a 12-game OCAA season, starting with a game at Cambrian College on Sept. 11. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost nowhere to go but up for this team. The Lancers went 1-10-1 last season. Loyalist does not have a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team.

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 door-to-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 secondstarting 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 TriCanadian 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. April Wilson Wins Simon Petit Memorial Wingless Dash The weekend concluded with the Simon Petit Memorial Wingless Dash for the Southern Ontario Sprints. Drivers had the opportunity to take the wing off their cars following the scheduled points race. Nine drivers took the challenge and polesitter April

Wilson led all 15 laps to secure the victory. She worked the bottom lane without any struggles and held off Ohioan Mike Burkin and Dylan Westbrook.

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.

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.

TRAVEL

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. If you wish, you can even dine at the summit, on an outdoor dining landing, or a guided tour of its ice caves.

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.

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.

AVAILABLE AT OUR OFFICE AT 250 SIDNEY STREET, BELLEVILLE A new tourist attraction for the area, Quinte Botanical Gardens, at 664 Glen Ross Road north of Frankford, will open next spring. A special ceremony was held Aug. 31 to draw attention to the gardens being built. Taking part in the ribbon-cutting and sod-turning were, l-r, general manager of Quinte West Chamber of Commerce Suzanne Andrews, Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis, owner Deanna Groves, Quinte West Mayor Jim Harrison, owner John Riedl, and Deputy Mayor Jim Alyea.

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.

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.

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. Loving mother of Paul and his wife Kathy of Brantford, Roger of Brighton, and Gary and his wife Hilda of Guelph. Predeceased by her daughter Lynn Thrasher and her brother Donald Hendricks.
