HILTON FALLS

Article By Jason Stacey

NEIGHBOURHOODMAGA ZINE .CA

It was a perfect winter day for a hike at Hilton Falls Conservation Area in Campbellville and the 3rd Mississauga Trex Girl Guides travelled down the 401 to explore and experience it’s glory.

.

“We’re always looking for fun new experiences for our group,” explained Valerie, one of the Girl Guide leaders. “We heard about how beautiful Hilton Falls was in the winter and we thought it would be a great experience for the girls.”

Hilton Falls has long been known for it’s beauty in all the seasons and winter is no exception. The rivers, waterfall and the reservoir freeze over and sparkle in the winter sun. A popular spot for anyone with a camera, many come in hopes of catching the play of sunlight on the icicles and snow.

The Girl Guides really enjoyed the hike and were happy to share a few shots with us.

Hope you had fun!

NATURE Article by Jason Stacey

As a child, Anne More was always doodling and drawing. A native of Argentina, Anne came to Canada with a rich and creative background in visual arts, language, literature and music. Creativity is just in her nature.

“I LOVED TO DRAW AND PAINT FROM THE TIME THAT I COULD HOLD A PENCIL OR BRUSH,” REMARKS ANNE. Her artistic talents were recognized at an early age and in secondary school and she was invited to attend classes at the Ontario College of Art and The Art Gallery of Ontario.

Anne chose to further her education at the Toronto Teachers College in 1966 and has continued throughout her life to enrol in university, professional development and art courses and daily life.

Early in her teaching career, Anne took a leave for one year, from the North York Board of Education, to teach in the remote native village of Fort Hope in Northern Ontario. The spiritual beliefs of the indigenous community had a great influence on her approach to learning and painting. It was during this time that she gained an appreciation for the fragile relationship between humans and their environment. The understanding that one takes no more than one needs from the environment resonated with her.

As an educator, Anne understood that individuals learn in many different ways.

She was successful in engaging those children who disliked school by creating a multi-sensory learning environment in which they could thrive. In this rich environment surrounded by visual references as well as hands on activities, students became engaged in learning and took pride in their creativity and accomplishments.

NOW, RETIRED FROM TEACHING, ANNE IS A FULLTIME ARTIST AND LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT.

“THE CREATIVE RUSH WAS AMAZING. I STARTED TO LOOK AT THINGS DIFFERENTLY IN EVERYDAY LIFE AND WOULD ENVISION THE BEST POSSIBLE COMPOSITION OF THE SCENE AND WHAT SETTINGS I WOULD USE, IF I HAD MY CAMERA.”

“MY GOAL AS A PAINTER IS TO SHARE MY INTERPRETATION OF THE BEAUTY OF THE NATURAL SPACES THAT WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE ON OUR DOORSTEP,” SAYS ANNE. “Currently I am working with oils on canvas

to capture the rich hues of nature and the interplay of light and shadow as it dances across the landscape. I hope to engage the viewer not only to share the experience but, in doing so hope to inspire a sense of respect and wonder for the world around us.”

ONE OF ANNE’S FAVOURITE PLACES TO PAINT IS THE BRUCE TRAIL, CANADA’S OLDEST AND LONGEST MARKED FOOTPATH WHICH SPANS FROM NIAGARA TO TOBEMORY AND CONNECTS YOU TO THE WONDERS OF THE NIAGARA ESCARPMENT. “I’M FASCINATED BY UNIQUE ROCK FORMATIONS. THANKFULLY, I DON’T HAVE TO TRAVEL FAR TO FIND THEM.” Often working from black and white images, Anne works in a more of an impressionistic approach.

“As much as I want to represent what I saw, I want to also bring forth the joyous feeling that I felt when I was there,” remarks Anne. “I want to share my experience of the place with the viewer.”

When asked what type of artist she would describe herself as, Anne was clear. “I’m a colourist. Not an impressionist, not a realist. I love playing with colour. A tree I paint looks normal but I use other hues in the value. I use warms and cools. Oranges and purples, to contrast.

Presently, Anne continues to work in her studio and at local workshops teaching and inspiring painters in the community. Her foundations in education have enabled her to provide a comfortable non-judgmental environment where artists can manifest their creative ideas into art.

Painting, teaching and travel have been an integral part of Anne’s life and have all found their voice in her art. Currently, her oil paintings embody her spirituality, respect of nature and understandings of the world. Her paintings shimmer with light and radiate an energy that resonates with all who appreciate her artistic vision.

RÖSTIS

NEIGHBOURHOODMAGA ZINE .CA

Prep Time: 1.5 hours ı Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided • 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut in equal halves

THIS IS A FUN IDEA FOR BRUNCH,

just give yourself enough time for the prep!

Also, get creative with the toppings – let family personalize their own by having a variety of toppings available for assembly (eg. grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, chives for a loaded potato, a fried egg or some smoked salmon, capers, cream cheese, red onion).

• 1 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS STEP 1 / Fill a large saucepan with cold water and place cut potatoes into the pot. Season generously with salt. Bring water to a boil, then reduce to a medium simmer and cook until potatoes are tender but insides still a bit firm, roughly 10-15 mins.

STEP 2 / Drain potatoes well. Cover and chill for a good hour.

STEP 3 / Once chilled, shred potatoes using the largest holes on a cheese grater, and place on paper towels to absorb any excess water, and then toss in salt.

STEP 4 / Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Just before smoking point, add the shredded potatoes to the pan, and spread out the potatoes to about ½” thickness, and ensuring the potatoes have good contact with the pan.

STEP 5 / Use a spatula to check to make sure it doesn’t stick. Cook until there is crisp bottom on the potatoes, roughly 5-7 mins.

STEP 6 / Invert a plate (larger than the pan), over the pan and then carefully turn the pan over so the rösti plops onto the plate. MAKE SURE all the oil has been absorbed before you flip over. Note: this is a quick flip from pan to plate. Put the pan back on the burner, add the remaining 2 Tbsp of oil, and then slide the rösti (the uncooked part should be on the bottom now) back into the pan, and cook until the rösti is crisp.

STEP 7 / Slide the rösti onto a cutting board and cut into quarters to serve, and have toppings ready for family or friends to personalize themselves!

Tobogganing

WONDERLAND

By Jason Stacey ■ Photography by Peeter Poldre

"BE SURE TO STRAP ON A HELMET BEFORE RACING DOWN THOSE HILLS."

If you love tobogganing then this has been a great winter for you.

With record breaking snowfall, the hills have been blanketed with fresh snow and filled with thrill seeking kids and parents enjoying this great Canadian past-time.

Despite the frigid temperatures, the hills in and around Burlington have been busy spots this season. So, if you haven’t gotten out, be sure to grab your sleds (and helmets!) and take advantage of the white stuff before it’s gone.

HAVE FUN! 14

Because the macro lens has a very shallow depth of field, one must be lucky to find a flake that is all in focus.

Scientists believe that every snowflake is unique.
