West Nipissing voters will be able to compare their options for the next federal election, as Nickel Belt federal riding can-didates are set to face off in a debate at the West Nipissing Recreation Complex Sep-tember 22. The debate is organized by the WN Chamber of Commerce and kicks off at 6 pm.

Sylvie Quenneville, project coordinator for the Chamber, says members of the pub-lic will be able to ask questions of the candi-dates, both before and during the evening. Questions can be submitted beforehand by email at info@westnipissingchamber.ca or on the Chamber’s Facebook page. Those present at the debate will be able to hand their written question to a local panel, which will address the candidates directly.

Quenneville says NDP candidate Claude Gravelle and Liberal candidate Marc Serré

have already confirmed their attendance, and they are waiting on confirmation from Stewart McCall of the Green Party. The Con-servatives have yet to name a candidate for Nickel Belt, but the coordinator says they will continue to check with the party and extend the invitation to any future candi-date, should one be named before the de-bate.

She adds that a local personality will be chosen to moderate the evening, though no one has been confirmed yet.

Quenneville hopes many people will show up and ask questions, to be well in-formed before the October 19 federal elec-tion.

“We’re doing this basically to give the community an opportunity to have their concerns heard and addressed,” she con-cludes.

Art group holds first ‘plein air’ sessionby isabel Mosseler

Sometimes a person just has to get outside and paint or draw, in the company of nature and fellow artists. Hélène Chayer, president of the West Nipissing Art Gallery, understands that compulsion to be outside in a natural setting with her creative tools, so she hosted one the art gallery’s ‘en plein air’ (open air) ses-sions last Friday, August 28, at her home on Cache lake in Verner.

“En plein air is a totally different painting experi-ence. … You have to try to capture the moment, but it doesn’t have to look exactly as [it is]. You try to capture the moment, the way the trees grow, the wind blows, the way the water goes… you paint fast, you observe a

lot. It’s a totally different ex-perience than painting from a picture you took some-where because the light changes constantly, so you have to paint as fast as you can in order to capture the moment,” Chayer explains.

The plein air sessions are time-limited, this particular one lasting one hour.

“It’s the challenge of set-ting up. You have to limit the number of paints you bring, have to compose with the elements you’ve got and that in itself is a challenge. I find that if you limit the num-ber of colours you use, it’s a whole different painting,” Chayer says.

For this session, Chayer limited herself to three analogous colors, which are groups of three colors that are next to each other on

the color wheel, usually one being a primary colour. Hé-lène went with two primary colours and one intermedi-ary for her study, on a small canvas. “I’m working with green, yellow and blue and I cheat with a little burnt sienna. I was always told to paint small when you paint en plein air, it limits the space you can use – either it’s a success, or it’s just a study and you bring it back and do something bigger.”

The session was a col-lective learning experience for participants, useful for honing their skills. Artist Simone Desormiers chose to work with soft pastels, and said, “It’s my first time en plein air. I brought a big sheet and should have brought something smaller.
