EMC News - Northumberland Northumberland County was one of only two rural areas in the province to grow in population annually from 1996 to 2012, even though it recorded more deaths than births in each of those years. The reason for the steady increase, according to the Rural Ontario Institute (ROI), based on census data collected by Statistics Canada, is that more people

moved to Northumberland and Muskoka than moved out. And they were likely seniors. The same two non-metro census divisions, Northumberland and Muskoka, saw the number of seniors in their populations grow annually at a rate of increase higher than the average for Ontario, 2.6 per cent, during the 16-year period. In Northumberland it was 2.9 per cent, with Muskoka right

behind at 2.8 per cent, prompting the institute to note in one of its Focus on Rural Ontario fact sheets that the two regions “appear to be attracting retirees,” which “implies an increase in the demand for services for seniors. These services range from specialized medical practitioners and residences for seniors to wheelchair-friendly grocery stores.” Northumberland also led

immigrants because that’s the only way it’s going to grow by 2030, according to another ROI fact sheet. Northumberland, like most counties in the province, will see more Ontarians exiting the labour force in the next ten years than those entering it, “so we need new people to move in, and where are the new people going to come from?” Ragetlie asked.

the province’s 27 non-metro census divisions in having immigrants make up ten per cent of its population (79,640) in 2011, compared to seven per cent on average for the others. “But, generally speaking, rural Ontario as a whole is not attracting a lot of newcomers to Canada,” said Norman Ragetlie, the institute’s director of policy and stakeholder engagement, and the country needs more

Automakers did not “make” complete autos for quite a few years now; they only assembled them. You likely have heard of “just in time delivery”—i.e. parts from outside suppliers. Science and technology have increased to the point where it has become too costly and time consuming to develop every component “in-house.” Powertrains are the largest, most complex, and costly items in any vehicle, not in the least because of ever more restrictive emission regulations. This affects the engines, but indirectly also transmissions. As you may know, an internal combustion engine runs most efficiently in a small area, or band, of RPM. The more speed ratios a transmission has, the closer the engine is able to run within, or close to, that band of “revolutions per minute.” A handful of specialty companies now develop, or at least assist, in readying engines and transmissions for the manufacturers. Most original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, as carmakers are known in the industry, have co-operative agreements with their suppliers and/or competitors for developing new, smaller engines and automatic transmissions with up to ten ratios, at last count. That co-operation is now extending to research and development of electric vehicles (EV) and as an extension of that, fuel cell vehicles (FCV). Both types share many electric and electronic components. The biggest difference is the energy supply for the electric motors: in an EV it comes from the very large storage battery; in an FCV the fuel cell creates electricity “on the go.” When Canadian scientist Geoffrey Ballard stunned the world in 1993 with his fuel cell powered bus, it set the auto industry abuzz with optimism: No more oil shortage, no pollution, but unlimited amounts of hydrogen promised to have millions of FCVs quietly running on our roads by now. So we had hoped. Nobody anticipated the enormous difficulties the change from the age of petroleum to the hydrogen age would present. A few companies experimented, off and on, with fuel cells since the 1960s. When Ballard demonstrated his bus in Vancouver, Daimler-Benz and Ford invested in Ballard Power Systems. Even these multi-national firms underestimated the difficulties of bringing FCVs to market. Both companies, as well as General Motors, have more than 100 FC test vehicles running, but the internal combustion engine still has a lot of unexplored potential. Automakers are “racing to preserve precious petroleum” and preparing “alternative transportation vehicles” for the era of emission-free mobility; you can read more about the automobile’s evolution at <www.autothoritybooks.com>. “The End of Oil” is getting closer with every decade. Automakers are now cooperating, more than ever, on developing fuel cell systems and the infrastructure to refill vehicles’ hydrogen tanks at “gas” stations; cost sharing and timesaving are the incentives. General Motors agreed in late June to work together with Honda; Daimler is constructing a fuel cell plant in Vancouver and is working with Ford and Ballard; similar co-operation exists among BMW, Fiat-Chrysler, Hyundai-Kia, RenaultNissan, Hyundai-Kia, Toyota, VolkswagenAudi and a number of institutions around the world; everyone is getting into FCVs.

Fact sheets being produced Continued from page 1

“If nothing else changes, labour shortages may become a limiting factor on economic success in many non-metro areas,” said Cathy Redden, a Campbellford resident who just completed her second year on ROI”s board of directors Ragetlie said the series of fact sheets being produced by the institute is aimed at “the powers to be [who] need to have a better appreciation and understanding of the trends that are going on in rural Ontario,” which are different from what’s happening generally in the province. “It’s important to understand that diversity, so that policies that are made at Queen’s Park [and other levels of government] … reﬂect the different realities of the province.” Attention should be paid to demographic changes because they will have “all sorts of ripple effects in the community,” Ragetlie said, such as fewer working age people to support seniors, and possibly school closings. Dan Borowec, Northumberland’s director of economic development, said the institute’s fact sheets are “exceptionally useful” in providing solid research that supports anecdotal evidence of what is taking place in the county. They also “give us a clearer direction with council in terms of where we want to go in a strategic fashion or where we

want to invest some of our dollars.” One of its investments has been to create an online immigration portal to attract newcomers to Northumberland The data has always been available through Statistics Canada and other surveys but “it’s usually not packaged in a way you can see speciﬁcally what’s happening in rural areas compared to rural areas,” Ragetlie said. “What we’re trying to do is present the information in a way where people can more readily grasp what the trends are.” “We’re not there to lobby, to push our agenda, we are there as a resource,” Redden said. “The information that we have is dead on, it’s accurate and it’s up to date.” The Focus on Rural Ontario fact sheets can be viewed online at <www. ruralontarioinstitute.ca>.

company to respond to a request for proposals by the county and was awarded the contract to build a food processing depot at a special meeting held July 2. Real Flex is paying $30,000 an acre for the 2.67 acres it is acquiring in the park adjacent to Highway 401. The land needs to be cleared and graded before work can begin on the structure, which will have a sloped roof with 22 solar panels. The developer and county are currently in negotiations on a ﬁve-year lease. The importance of the new facility is “huge” for farmers “because it gives them an opportunity to do second crop processing they may not be doing at all right now,” Coombs said. “For young farmers who don’t have the money to invest in processing-type equipment, it allows them to be able to do that on a very cost-effective basis.” Borowec said the county will now begin marketing the food processing plant to eastern Ontario to line up contracts with clients wanting to rent use of its equipment. “This will be the only one in Ontario,” Coombs said. It’s great for us. Longterm, it’s going to be a game changer,” he said, noting it “will draw a lot of people to the community” and has the potential to stimulate business

the county is “under the gun” to make use of funding it has secured before March, 2014, Mayor Marc Coombs said. About $560,000 has been committed to the project by the county, regional community futures development corporations and the Trillium Foundation. The target is $660,000 to equip the new facility and to support the hiring of an operations manager. The position should be ﬁlled by the beginning of September, director of economic development Dan Borowec told The Independent. Finding the additional monies required is still to be determined but the provincial government recently announced “some new funding … dedicated to food processing,” he said. “We’re anticipating that might be an opportunity for us.” Real Flex had already been in talks with the township to erect a building in the 45-acre industrial park when the county decided last year it would open a food processing plant to serve eastern Ontario. That decision was based on a 16-month Local Food Business Retention and Expansion Survey that had been done involving six counties and the cities of Kawartha Lakes, Quinte West and Belleville.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The challenges are enormous, the rewards amazing fear and bigotry. My grandsons, now age 18 to 23, have witnessed the huge difference their parents have made in the lives of these children and young adults. They now share a deep bond with their adult “sisters” who have achieved successful lives and careers of their own; sisters in everything but blood. The girls all keep in touch, come home for all the special holidays and phone or drop in regularly, often with families of their own. The boys are also aware that not every child can be helped. That heartbreak happens. And this is perhaps, for the extended family, the hardest truth to bear. My grandsons have observed that with love, respect and kindness a lot is achievable. That if you have a strong back and the determination to affect change as their parents do, it is possible to save a child at risk. The challenges

Rick Norlock opposes legalizing marijuana I see some hope that he might actually be softening his stand on the marijuana issue when he says he would be prepared to really seriously consider decriminalization or legalization if presented with studies supporting this. His background in law enforcement should also serve to show that his government’s approach is wrong-headed and there are many in law enforcement now who would agree. While it is valiant to want to create a drug-free society and to do everything possible to help people who abuse drugs (that means alcohol too), and to educate our young people with the truth, burying our heads in the sand and thinking that we can end this problem through prohibition is not really “thinking hard” on the issue.

Dear Editor, Rick Norlock’s response to the Liberal party policy of legalizing marijuana serves to demonstrate the approach to policy the Conservative party takes on many contentious issues. Policy is determined in a top-down manner with any ideas that might be controversial being ignored or censured by the party brass starting with the prime minister. Then they set about attacking the spokesperson behind the opposing idea using emotional terms such as “simplistic” or “naive,” or “lacking in judgment.” Or they will present some inaccurate facts not based on evidence (e.g. Mr. Norlock says that “we have a huge problem with impaired driving” whereas Statistics Canada reports, “The rate of impaired driving causing death dropped 29 per cent in 2011, reaching its lowest point in over 25 years.”) or even suggest that there is no evidence. (What about the LeDaine Commission report?) This approach is highly cynical and frustrating to people who believe government should be listening to new ideas and at least considering them through informed debate at their party conventions and eventually in the House of Commons. The Liberal policy which appears to be wellresearched and well-thought out is an example of how progressive and realistic they are in attempting to deal with the failed “war on drugs” and a continuation of outdated thinking on the part of the Conservative party. This Conservative government gained power by appearing to want to improve democracy, end corruption, be fiscally responsible, and listen to Canadians of all backgrounds. Once in power, they usurped the democracy at all levels and have emerged as the complete antithesis—a party with topdown rule, where members are forced to swallow their pride, toe the line, and spout the rhetoric of the party leader. Continuing this “war on drugs” with the over $1.5 billion spent on law enforcement, court costs, and the penal system “makes no sense” either and is not fiscally responsible. Looking at Mr. Norlock’s comments,

Has the experience of growing up with foster kids affected my three grandsons negatively? Possibly. The life lessons learned from their shared experience has impacted each of them differently. I believe that their daily involvement, interaction, playtime, and helping to care for those babies and kids placed in their home over the years has brought them the wisdom to appreciate how lucky they are, an empathy for those less fortunate and a clear understanding that despite the colour of skin, of creed, or ethnicity, we all have the right to a safe home, free from

both emotionally and physically, they have been made to feel that they are worthless, unwanted, and unloved. Often when placed into care they make life as difﬁcult as they possibly can. The family’s experience has been that most of these kids eventually can become fully functioning members of the family. They have learned to respect my son and daughter-inlaw and they attempt to abide by the house rules! The experience of watching my son and daughter with children in their care is that there are a lot of appointments with various health professionals, there are the obligatory visits with birth parents and grandparents, and the CAS social workers, but always my daughter-in-law made it possible to arrange for the kids to go to camp, to the cottage, to play hockey, to have birthday parties, to come visit their “Nana and Grandpa” for sleepovers.

Dear Editor, I read with interest Sheila Wray Gregoire’s column in the August 1 edition. Anyone considering fostering would surely reject the notion, as did the columnist. It sounded so bleak. I would like to respond from the perspective of a surrogate grannie to the foster children cared for by my son and daughter-in-law over the past 20 years. The children in their care have been many, from all ethnic backgrounds, all needing the security of a place they could call home. They have offered care to short and longer term children, but mostly for weeks, months or years at a time. Babies, toddlers, siblings, early and mid teens, all have found a safe haven. It is hard, demanding, and very often emotionally wrenching work, caring for these damaged youngsters. They have been neglected, they have been abused

Is a pit in Codrington in the public interest?

conceded to the expression of this private interest. What though is the public interest? From Brighton township’s point of view, the pit represents an operation equivalent in size to itself. Each is about $15 million in size. On the face of it an operation of that size will make a significant contribution to the township. But does it? In terms of taxes and direct income to the township, the pit makes a very small contribution. There is a provincial aggregate levy of 11 cents a tonne, some of which is refunded to Brighton. And there are commercial property taxes levied on the operation. Mr. Harford has indicated that “this is a wash,” meaning that the township garners about the same from CBM’s existing pits as it would from a new pit in Codrington. This is not a money-maker for the township. Second, from the perspective of the entire community in Brighton, about $10 million stays in the township by way of wages and services purchased locally.

be denied. There is still value in their pits, and the locations could be used for additional sand and gravel recycling capacity. Fourth, with respect to the wider community in which we live, that of our province, what level of provincial public interest exists in Codrington pit? Each year about 200 million tonnes of aggregate are extracted in Ontario. Codrington at 500,000 tonnes, represents a tiny fraction of this: about ¼ of one per cent. If Codrington did not happen, the province would not notice! Further, the policy of MNR is that more should be done to recycle. If that happens the need for new pits will be reduced. The development of a gravel pit in Codrington, is thus, not in the provincial public interest. Last, what about the public interest of the citizens of Ontario? How should we react to the idea of more extraction? Public interest in its widest sense is probably summed up in the expression, “Peace, Order and Good Government.” We Seating for is limited strive a sustainable and satisfying society.

Liz Downey, PFP, CIM

Notice is hereby given pursuant to Section 34(1) of the Municipal Act S.O., 2001, Chapter 25 that the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Brighton proposes to pass a by-law to stop up, close and convey a portion of the Road Allowance between Lots 35 and 36, Concession “C”, south of Stoney Point Road South, to the west of Folly Lane, in the vicinity of 134 and 138 Folly Lane.

But the environment is not on our side. Global warming, peak oil, peak phosphorus, all threaten our ability to manage a growing economy. We are running out of our available resources. We already consume at a rate equivalent to four earths’ worth of resources. The time, in fact, is now, to plan for a sustainable, and not a growing economy. The extraction of more non-renewable resource is not in this broadest public interest. It is not sustainable, and counter to our long-term aspirations. In summary, the wider public interest is not met by the Codrington Pit. It is clearly not in the interest of the public who live around Ferguson’s hill. It is only in the parochial interests of CBM and the Brighton Council that the pit can be seen as meeting any sense of public interest. But this interest is not in the interests of the public. The public interest is not met with the development of the Codrington pit. Colin Griffiths, Brighton

Bullets versus reason in Toronto shooting

Dear Editor, The following can be thought of as the top ten reasons apt to be given to the Police Investigative Unit (SIU) excusing shooting first and asking questions later: 1) Misunderstood code of “Serve and Protect.” Thought he heard “Swerve and Project.” 2) Knife blade is like kryptonite to Kevlar. 3) Forgot whether he took his performanceenhancing drug that day, so took extra just in case. 4) Has always reacted violently to being called a “Pussy.” 5) The police psychologist in charge of mental illness wasn’t available, as he is presently suspended with pay. 6) Was certain that bullets were less harmful than tasering. 7) Seventeen cops not enough in escalating situation and couldn’t wait for more backup. 8) Thought he saw this kid jump on the hood of a police car at G-20 convention. 9) Trigger jammed in the “ON” position. 10) After three shots downed kid groaned “Pussy” again. (See 4 above) This is serious! If we don’t get control over those who are paid to serve and protect, then a future prime minister may resemble Vladimir Putin. Wyley Canuck, aka Ken Leavens, Stirling

contribution to our local economy is not insignificant. However, this contribution is likely to continue whether Codrington Hill is excavated or not. It cannot be said that the pit is essential to our public interest. Third, what is the impact of Codrington on CBM? At no time, to my knowledge, has CBM presented an economic argument for their operations in Brighton. CBM is a private company and no public figures exist. But, from their web site we discover that they have some 40 cement plants and some 22 pits in the province. If each of these operations produces $5 million a year, then their gross is around $300 million. Revenue from a pit at Codrington at $15 million, would be about five per cent of their annual gross. But none of this would be new income. CBM already has an equivalent operation in the township. While they have said their other pits would be closed, since exhausted or near to be exhausted, when Codrington opens up, I doubt this would happen if Codrington were to

It is clearly not in the interest of those members of the public that live adjacent to the pit. It was overwhelmingly not in the interest of the members of the public who attended three public meetings. It is obviously in the private interest of CBM St Mary’s. Brighton Council has

It was grown in a lab, not cut from a cow, and it tasted—well, not quite good enough to fool the experts, but then they forgot the ketchup, mustard, cheese, onion, bacon, tomato and lettuce. Not to mention the fries. “I miss the fat, there’s a leanness to it,” said food writer Josh Schonwald, “but the general bite feels like a hamburger.” Gwynne Dyer Austrian food critic Hanni Ruetzler agreed: “It’s not that juicy, but the consistency is perfect. This is meat to me. It’s not falling apart; it’s really something to bite on.” Even in a blind tasting, she added, she would say that it was real meat and not a soya copy. Of course she would. It was real meat, grown from a cow’s stem cells just like the flesh of its own body. It tasted lean because the stem cells the experimenters used were only programmed to make muscle tissue, not fat. (They’re working on that.) The real test was whether tens of billions of lab-grown muscle cells could be organised into something with the consistency of proper meat, not mush, and the lab-burger passed that test with flying colours. But why would anybody want to pass that test? What’s wrong with just eating cows—and sheep and pigs and chickens? Far beyond the objections of vegetarians and animal-rights activists, what’s wrong with eating “natural” meat is that there are too many of us, eating too much of it, and we’re running out of land to grow it on. “Right now, we are using 70 per cent of all our agricultural capacity to grow meat through livestock,” Professor Mark Post, the lead researcher, told The Independent at a conference in Vancouver last year. “You are going to need alternatives. If we don’t do anything, meat will become a luxury food and will become very expensive ….” “Livestock also contributes a lot to greenhouse gas emissions, more so than our entire transport system,” explained Post, a medical physiologist at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. “Livestock produces 39 per cent of global methane, 5 per cent of the CO2, and 40 per cent of the nitrous oxide. Eventually, we will have an eco-tax on meat.” On meat raised in the open air, that is. Whereas meat grown in the lab is a potentially inexhaustible resource, and it does far less environmental damage. According to an Oxford University study published in 2011, a tonne of “cultured” beef would require 99 per cent less land and between

82 and 96 per cent less water than its “natural” rival, and would produce between 78 and 95 per cent less greenhouse gas. It would also use 45 per cent less energy. These are seriously impressive numbers. If Post’s process can scale up successfully, then in ten or twenty years we could be producing enough meat for a growing global population even though many people are eating more meat per capita as their incomes rise. Moreover, we would be able to turn most of that 70 per cent of agricultural land back into forest and prairie, or switch it to growing grain for human consumption. “There are basically three things that can happen going forward,” said Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who bankrolled Post’s research. “One is that we can all become vegetarian. I don’t think that’s really likely. The second is we ignore the issues, and that leads to continued environmental harm. The third option is we do something new.” “Some people think this is science fiction. I actually think that’s a good thing. If what you’re doing is not seen by some people as science fiction, it’s probably not transformative enough … We’re trying to create the first cultured beef hamburger. From there I’m optimistic we can really scale [up] by leaps and bounds.” You probably can. Post’s technique involves extracting stem cells from cow muscle tissue and growing them “in vitro” for three weeks, providing nutrients and growth-promoting chemicals. Then the mass of new cells is transferred to smaller dishes where they find themselves between two electrodes—and self-organise into strips of muscle tissue. Then you give the new muscle tissue some exercise (to bulk it up) by applying small shocks that make it contract. And then it’s hamburger meat, ready to be cooked. Growing an actual steak would be more complex, but in theory it could be done by getting the strips of muscle tissue to take shape on a biodegradable lattice that includes artificial blood vessels to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the interior of the steak. So let’s assume you can produce this beef in industrial quantities, complete with fat cells so that it tastes just like the meat that comes from the slaughterhouse. Could you get people to buy it? No problem. Just price it about 20 per cent cheaper than the “real thing.” Those of us who are keeping up with the Joneses will buy the premium product; the rest of us will buy the one that’s just as good but costs less. Oh, and why didn’t they eat the whole hamburger on Monday? Because there was no way that you could share out what was left equally between so many journalists, and they sometimes get quite nasty if they’re thwarted. So Mark Post said he’d take it home to his children.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

No praise for Hydro One from this resident

Dear Editor, I recently read Mr. Ralph Blom’s letter praising Hydro One for its “conscience, dedication and kindness” in their negotiations regarding a new hydro line to Brighton. I can only conclude that Hydro One is better at dealing with new clients and than old ones. Last fall (September 2012) a gentleman from the forestry division of Hydro One came in preparation for clearing of the line on our property. I explained that we had planted the cedar hedge to provide some privacy from the road and discourage intruders on the trails we had cut through the property. He assured me that they were safe and that the most that would be done, if needed, was to trim the tops since they were still several feet from the hydro line. He later marked the trees to be cut with a red H. On the day that Hydro One came to do the work, my brother went done the road and spoke with a supervisor who assured him that his instructions were to leave the cedars. You can imagine my reaction later in the day when I returned home to discover that almost all the cedars had been cut and we no longer had a hedge. Indeed we had lost over 200 trees It has become obvious to me over the months following the

loss of our trees that it is very much a gamble totally dependent on the crew that arrives on the day. Our neighbour has asked Hydro One to remove the very old trees that run along his fields. In the last year at least three of those trees have fallen and taken out the hydro line. As a result we have been without hydro for several days over the last year. The rest of the those trees remain to fall at some time in the future. Once they have cut the trees there is no recourse. Hydro One under pressure to extricate itself from responsibility is now claiming that an unregistered easement from 1986 allows them to clear whatever they wish. It took them three months to find the easement. Why then did Hydro One send a representative to discuss what they would cut if they had no intention of following his recommendations nor feel any responsibility for the damage caused by their crew? Why is one supervisor allowed to ignore written orders and clear cut our trees when others obviously cut more judiciously? Is Hydro not responsible for the damage he caused? Heather Goody, Cold Springs

EMC Editorial - Shades of George Dubya. As most people are aware, on Friday the United States issued a terrorism alert saying once again that they had reason to believe that Al Qaeda was about to pull off another major attack. They didn’t say where the attack would take place. They didn’t say when the attack would take place, only that they had reason to believe it would happen in the next month. So to be on the safe side, the U.S. issued a travel warning to its citizens advising them that maybe boarding an aircraft and landing in a country other than the U.S., might not be in their best interests. They then proceeded to close 21 foreign embassies and consulates just in case. Canada’s Foreign Minister John Baird followed suit closing our embassy in Bangladesh. We are after all, close allies of the U.S. and Israel and are now tarred with the same brush throughout most of the Muslim world. But one has to question the timing of this latest warning. Think back just a few years ago to the era of George W Bush. When his poll numbers plummeted, terrorist threat warnings magically increased. When he ran for re-election, terrorist activity warnings flowed freely from Capital Hill. When he successfully scared his country’s citizens enough to get re-elected, the threat of a terrorist attack and the warnings abruptly stopped. It appears the masterminds at Al Qaeda really loved good old George, so much so that they helped his re-election campaign. Now we have a U.S. government falling in the polls, plagued by revelations of snooping on its own citizens as well as other countries around the world. This isn’t going over well, as one would expect in the land of the free. Most Americans take their Constitution very seriously and consider the intrusive actions of the National Security Agency (NSA) a crime against their freedoms. A majority of Americans also believe Edward Snowden is a whistleblower and not a traitor. At one point in time President Obama thought the country needed more whistle blowers; a quick perusal of his speeches during his election campaign will bear this out. Transparent government he promised, sounding very much like our own prime minister when he was out on the hustings. So why the terrorist alert last week? On the heels of a too-close-for-comfort vote on an amendment to the defence appropriations bill that would have defunded the NSA’s collection of email and phone data, the White House had to do something to divert the public’s attention. Considering more members of his own

party voted for the amendment than against it, Obama had his back up against the wall. A majority of Republicans saved his bacon. And on Sunday, the usual suspects showed up on television to crow that the NSA had once again saved the day. Throw in last week’s news that Russia had granted temporary asylum to leaker Edward Snowden despite the U.S.’s threats and Obama was looking like a major wimp. Evidently Vladimir Putin wasn’t really too concerned with Obama’s threat not to show up at a scheduled meeting later this year. Considering the U.S. government has ignored repeated requests to extradite criminals to Russia, Russia’s response can be explained as tit for tat. But why would Al Qaeda want to kill U.S. citizens at this time? After all, didn’t the U.S. just agree to send weapons to the Syrian rebels who include Al Qaeda and jihadists from around the world. They already were through their proxies in Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia but this time it was all above board. Talk about Al Qaeda looking a gift horse in the mouth. If we’re looking for terrorism suspects, one might think that the citizens of Iraq would be a little more peeved than Al Qaeda at the moment considering the devastation the Yanks and Brits inflicted on their country. Just last month almost 1,000 people were killed in sectarian violence in that failed state though you wouldn’t know that from following North American news. Anew Iranian president was inaugurated on Saturday, more moderate than all the other candidates on the ballot, but before he was even sworn in having won on a platform of engaging the west, the U.S. put new sanctions on the country. That might make somebody a little upset. While the Grand Ayatollah still holds the real power in the country, at least Rouhani has more pull than most Iranians as he is recognized as one of the fathers of the revolution. Engagement might be a thought instead of more crippling sanctions. Another Monday night headline had the U.S. threatening Pakistan with sanctions because that country and Iran have a much-needed pipeline deal to pump natural gas from Iran to Pakistan. At the moment Pakistan is energy starved and its economy is in tatters. When you consider the U.S. has only around a ten per cent approval rating in Pakistan because of its incessant drone strikes, there are probably more candidates out there with an axe to grind than just Al Qaeda. Let’s hope this is just another case of the Oval Office ruling by fear and not a real terrorist threat. U.S. meddling throughout the world certainly isn’t making it any friends.

Open mike nights offering creative outlet it in public before,” he said. “And for the very ﬁrst time ever, she had her recital. “It’s working out very well. We’re really pleased.” The open microphone begins at 7 p.m. on Tuesday nights at The Gates gallery, 240 Presqu’ile Parkway. The concept will extend into Applefest weekend at the end of September with plans to include an open microphone

stage outside the community centre during the BAC artisan village. “Anybody local who wants a chance to perform, here’s your chance,” said Brooks. As well, during Arts Month in October, Blanchet will be leading a one-day music program for seniors as part of a recent federal New Horizons for Seniors grant received by the local arts organiza-

tion in May. “I hope to gear it toward beginners,” he said. “People who, perhaps, never even thought about playing a musical instrument.” Blanchet sees music as a way to enrich seniors’ lives. “Wellness, purpose and community,” is how he describes it. “You’re giving people a reason to get out and socialize.”

And it’s not just for musicians. Storytellers, poets and comedians are welcome to share their talents with the audience. “It’s a wide variety of entertainment from a wide variety of people,” says Blanchet. “Last week, the ages ranged from 13 to 75.”

“It’s a wide variety of entertainment from a wide variety of people.” “It’s a whole range of subjects,” added Brooks. “It’s all inclusive.” And already, after only a few weeks, the open mike crowd has seen some daring debuts. Brooks recalls a recent reading from a woman who, 20 years ago, wrote a poem. “She never had the nerve to perform

EMC Entertainment - Brighton One of the best-kept secrets in town is the open microphone performances being offered on Tuesday evenings at The Gates gallery. But the word is quickly getting out and the audience, as well as the list of performers, is growing every week. The idea is the brainchild of Brighton Arts Council (BAC) members Frank Blanchet and Terry Brooks. “It’s been a real team effort,” said Blanchet, in an interview last week. He and Brooks give a lot of credit for the success of the weekly shows to high school graduates Sarah Kennedy (Quinte Christian) and Michael Osvald (East Northumberland Secondary School), who volunteered to help out. Both students are accomplished singers and musicians in their own right, with a host of performances in high school productions. Osvald recalls how, on the opening night of the new open mike, he “threw together a song, performed it and people liked it.” “I’ve been doing it every Tuesday night since,” he said with a wide grin. “It’s really simple,” explained Blanchet. “If somebody comes to the open mike and they leave feeling a bit bigger than when they came in, we’ve done our job.”

EMC News - Brighton - The recipient of the seventh annual Northumberland Youth Advisory Council Merit Scholarship has helped people with disabilities learn how to sail and travelled to Africa to repair schoolhouses and spread awareness about HIV and AIDS. Laura Watts, who recently graduated from Grade 12 at East Northumberland Secondary School, was awarded the scholarship for “her hard work and commitment to community,” Brittany Pegg, chair of the Northumberland Youth Council Scholarship Committee, announced in a press release. Watts “is an exemplary example” of many young people in Northumberland County who are active volunteers in their communities, “while carrying heavy course loads and often part-time jobs.” The Brighton resident, who will begin a four-year Bachelor of Science and Nursing program next month at Queen’s University in Kingston, started volunteering at Quinte SailAbility four years ago. The sailing school that operates out of the CFB Trenton Yacht Club trains and provides recreational opportunities for people with vari-

ous disabilities, both physical and developmental. “It’s meant everything [to me]” Watts said in an interview. “The bonds we make with everyone who works there, who sails there, who volunteers there—it’s like a family. When I go to university that’s what I’m going to miss the most.” Her duties include going out on the water with the students “to make sure they feel comfortable,” getting the boats ready in the morning, and looking after general dock maintenance. She’s also held two benefit concerts and a car wash. Watts, 17, joined 17 other high school students from Brighton, Cobourg and Port Hope on a Journey of Hope to Tanzania, Africa, in January. The group spent 17 days in and around Kilema repairing and repainting schoolhouses, teaching math, and spreading awareness about HIV and AIDS. They also worked on clean water initiatives. “It was the best experience of my life,” she said. “It was absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to go again. It changed my view of almost everything. It makes you thankful for everything that you have.” While there Watts met five nurses who were working with

the Canada Africa Community Health Alliance (CACHA). It’s a non-government organization that seeks to improve population health and provide HIV care, as well as orphan vocational centres for children affected by the HIV calamity. Watts hopes to join in CACHA’s efforts some day and return to Africa to provide health care services to the victims of HIV/ AIDS and to prevent the disease from spreading further. She said everything she learned on the trip, which included having to overcome a language barrier and many cultural differences, she will be able to use in training to be a nurse, by “making sure people understand you.” Watts is “so thankful” for the $1,000 scholarship, which she plans to use to purchase books and supplies, which “can be very expensive.” She was involved in a number of school clubs while a student at ENSS, including the Environmental Club and the Drill Team, and was a member of the soccer and track-and-field teams. Watts was one of about 15 students across the county who applied for the scholarship administered by the youth advisory council.

stuff.” Bangay recalls being a collector “forever.” “When I was a kid, I brought home a stamp book and it started from there,” he said with a chuckle. But some of his best finds came while working as a plumber for more than three decades. When he came across something of interest, he asked if he could have it. Most homeowners were glad to get rid of the stuff cluttering their basements. Queen Victoria is honoured with two streets in her name: Queen and Victoria. Other royal namesakes, with the streets noted in brackets, include Princess (Alice), Queen (Anne), (Princess) of Wales and Lord (Raglan). It turns out though; Prince Edward Street isn’t as much regal as a route to Prince Edward County and Elizabeth Street is named for the wife of Isaac Chamberlain Proctor, who owned land at the site. Governors-general were popular, with Lord (Dufferin), Lord (Elgin), Lord (Monck) and John George (Lambton), the Earl of Durham, all finding honour in the streets of Brighton. Other notables include Russell Street, dubbed for Lord John Russell, “who introduced in the Imperial Par-

liament, the bill for the union of the two Canadas,” along with lawyer and politician the Honourable Robert (Baldwin) and General Lord (Napier). Park Street honours Parker Ketchum, a one-time reeve who owned land along the street, Price Street for Price Brown, who ran a hay-pressing business along

that stretch of road and Napoleon Street pays homage to the former Emperor of France. Sometimes it was even enough to live there to get your name on the sign. Oliphant Street is named for David; editor of the then-Brighton Flag newspaper. Gross Street is named for

local merchant Samuel, Platt Street for Willet, “an old resident and one of the richest men in the country,” and Greenwood Avenue for farm owner Captain W.T.

Even a farmer’s daughter was memorialized at Georgina Street, alongside a farm owned by her father; John W. Nix. John Street was named for him.

EMC News - Brighton Have you ever wondered who or what the street you live on is actually named for? In 1904, a local newspaper published a list of Brighton street names along with notations to their namesakes. Memory Junction owner and operator Ralph Bangay figures the original document was produced about 15 years previous by Brighton High School student Walter E. Lear and he has the original typewritten document. In 1903, the first reunion of the high school “old boys and girls” was held, 19 years after the building was constructed on Prince Edward Street, and Walter was there. On Good Friday evening (April 10, 1903), the former students met at the town hall to reminisce. The local newspaper published a photo to commemorate the event, saying it “should bring back a lot of memories to older readers.” Bangay figures he has “at least 5,000 pieces directly related to Brighton” housed at the Maplewood Street museum … and much more than that stored in other locations. “A lot of boxes are just handed to me when someone in the family dies,” he said. “People bring me a lot of

Loon rescue has happy ending By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Hastings It’s a story with a happy ending that almost ended in tragedy. A baby loon entangled in fishing line and a bobber spent a frantic day-long life and death struggle in front of a Hastings cottage before unidentified good Samaritans were able to come to the rescue of the young bird as its mother called out in fearful panic. “Listening to the mother calling, it was just frantic, it [just] broke your heart and that’s what we listened to A baby loon, shown with its mother, was rescued by unidentified local cottagers after it got all day, the mother trying to save her baby,” said Wendy entangled with a fishing bobber and line. Photo: Submitted

Asselstine, a riverside resident who first spotted the entangled loon early one morning. It was a baby loon Asselstine and neighbouring cottagers had watched “being parented from the moment it was born” and as she watched it that day she noticed that a bobber was wrapped around its wing. She and a neighbour went out in a boat to see if they could net and catch the bird but “really didn’t have any luck. “Every time we would get close to him the mother loon would call out and it would dive and when the

baby came back up it would have the bobber all entangled with weeds.” They decided the best thing to do was leave it alone because they feared it would continue to dive away and get tangled up and not come back to the surface. At that point, Asselstine began to call “every government wildlife agency [she] could possibly think of” looking for assistance. “I got the runaround most of the morning.” The only organization that “showed concern,” she said, was the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee but because it’s entirely funded through donations it doesn’t have a budget to go out and do rescues but they were willing to take the loon if it could be caught and was in danger of not being able to be released. Other than that it was a “circle of sorry there is nothing we can do,” Asselstine said. “I just kept watching it during the course of the day and for a period of time lost sight of it but I could see the mother loon going up and down the shoreline crying out for its baby.”

Nearby cottagers were aware that something untoward was happening; they were also familiar with the loon family. The water is very shallow near Asselstine’s cottage and only accessible by pontoon boat but the cottagers had a pontoon boat and came to the rescue with Asselstine guiding them between the mother and baby. The men jumped in the water and were able to net the baby and painstakingly disentangled the frightened bird. When it realized it was liberated it joyfully flew away. Asselstine says the loon family has moved to secluded island one and a-half kilometres away. “They don’t like us to be around them and we really tormented them trying to catch the baby,” she said. “We know they’re there because we hear them.” “The point I want to make is that living on the water is not always a pretty sight when you see a baby loon struggling for its life.” To the heroic cottagers she has this to say: “They saved that baby. I wish I had their names but they know who they are.”

EMC News - Belleville - City police are continuing their summer assault on improving road safety in the community, and in the month of August will be focusing on three troublesome intersections in the city in an attempt to curb the number of accidents in those areas as part of the Selective Traffic Enforcement Initiative (STEP) for the month of August. After reviewing accident data from the previous quarter, the BPS has identified the intersections of College Street and North Front Street, Bell Boulevard and Sidney Street, and Victoria Avenue and Pinnacle Street as having the highest rate of accidents of any intersections in the city. As part of the August STEP initiative, officers on patrol and members of the traffic management unit will be focusing on these three intersections, observing both driver and pedestrian actions, including cell phone use, proper observation of red lights, improper pedestrian crossing or improper turns.

Coping with Pet Loss...Grieving the Death

of a Dog or Cat and Moving On Given the intense bond most of us share with our animals, it’s natural to feel devastated by feelings of grief and sadness when a pet dies. While some people may not understand the depth of feeling we have for our pets, you should never feel guilty or ashamed about grieving for an animal friend. Instead, use these healthy ways to cope with the loss, comfort yourself and others, and begin the process of moving on.

bour for a lunch date or join a club. Boost your vitality with excercise. Pets help many older adults stay active and playful, which can boost your immune system and increase your energy. It’s important to keep up your activity levels after the loss of your pet. Check with your doctor before starting an exercise program and then find an activity that you enjoy. Exercising in a group—by playing a sport such as tennis or golf, or taking an exercise or swimming class— can also help you connect with others.

Getting another dog or cat: Moving on after pet loss

There are many wonderful reasons to once again share your life with a companion animal, but the decision of when to do so is a very personal one. It may be tempting to rush out and fill the void left by your pet’s death by immediately getting another pet. In most cases, it’s best to mourn the old pet first, and wait until you’re emotionally ready to open your heart and your home to a new animal. Some retired seniors living alone, however, may find it hardest to adjust to life without a pet. If taking care of an animal provided you with a sense of purpose and self-worth as well as companionship, you may want to consider getting another pet at an earlier stage. Of course, seniors also need to consider their own health and life expectancy when deciding on a new pet. Each animal is different, so trying to exactly duplicate your old pet will likely result only in frustration and disappointment. A new pet should be appreciated fully for its own sake, not as a direct replacement. That may mean choosing another type of pet or a different breed. Whatever you decide, give yourself time to grieve the loss of your old friend and follow your instincts. You will know when it is right to bring a new animal companion into your life. Brian W.

Festive banners help bring community together By Kate Everson

EMC News - Consecon - The banners were flying high in Consecon on August 3 as the village celebrated Consecon Day. “Everyone helped out,” said Janet Battaglio, owner of Janet B Gallery and Studios. “The banners were part of a beautification project, a statement with art.” She said 17 children and six businesses got involved along with the rest of the community. The banners were hand painted and flown over the village for the special day when the whole town set up with yard sales, barbecues and a soapbox derby. The banners will be hung year round and some will be exchanged during holidays and seasonal festivals. Janet has been in Consecon since last fall, taking the winter to establish herself

as a new artist in the village. She previously had a yoga studio and art gallery in the Stockdale Mill from 2006 to 2010, then she travelled for two years through Quebec and northern Ontario. She even visited Miami for a few months, getting involved with helping disabled children make art for their sailing program. “As an artist with a new gallery in the village I was looking for ways to bring art to the community of Consecon,” she said. She got set up with the Consecon Area Ratepayers Association and its beautification project, with help from Sherry Bergman, and they formed a committee with Ena Walton. They sourced the supplies and invited the town to come to paint. The banners took three weeks to produce in her studio, where Sherry also teaches Chi Kung and Janet teaches yoga.

“The painting took place outdoors on the verandah of the studio,” Janet says. “As each banner was completed, it was hung proudly on the wall.” She also photographed each banner so there was a record of it online. A visit to Janet’s studio is a trip in itself. Located in the old seed mill in downtown Consecon, it has a large space for ten artists to display their work. Workshops are held in hand-painted silk batik, a traditional design method using French dye and resist methods. There is a beginners workshop in fine art, and intermediate or advanced classes. “I have been teaching hand painting on silk for over thirty years,” Janet says. “My designs are sold and shown internationally in major galleries and art shows.” For more information contact <janet- Janet Battaglio (l) encourages cyclists from Ameliasburgh JoAnne Waters and Sheila Eagen to add battaglio@gmail.com>. some paint to a community artwork.

Arts Up Front highlights local artists on display EMC News - Trenton - For one day, August 3, the businesses on Front Street showcased several artists from Arts Quinte West. “Arts Up Front is in its third year,” said Anne Pennington, president of Arts Quinte West. The event was organized by artist Suzanne Simard Meloche, who made sure several artists were featured at The Grind, Riverside Music, Jazz Salon, Tomasso’s, and Thai Sushi on Front Street. Anne was at The Grind with her photography displayed in the front window on easels. Beside her was creative artist Chris Cromwell. “We have had tremendous support from the businesses and the city,” Pennington said. She noted that the Arts Quinte West gallery on Dundas Street West is open from Wednesday to Saturday, with a new display every month. “There is always something new and fresh,” she said. Pennington said people are starting to get to know local artists and coming to view the displays. Recently, the back room of the gallery has been rented to Rachel Comeau of Art is for Everyone! who previously had an outlet on Dundas Street East. “It’s a very successful partnership,” Pennington says. “It brings in new people.”

She added that musicians have also found the space welcoming. The arts association welcomes non-traditional media, not just painters. This could be fabric art, quilters, or artists who “up-cycle junk for art.” She said the $30-a-year membership fee is a small investment to keep the culture alive in the community. With her at The Grind was creative artist Chris Cromwell, who had just come from a face-painting gig in Cobourg. He said he has been painting “since I was a kid” and his mother was an artist, then he took it at Trenton High School. He creates art on hats and jewellery. “People really like it,” he says. He has also done painting “on the street” and describes it as an incredible experience. Next to The Grind in the Front Street Market were Rachel Comeau and Naomi Dunleavy making colourful decorative buttons. Rachel said bringing her store “Art for Everyone” into the gallery was a lovely opportunity. She says they offer “A Creative Boost” on the second Friday of each month for people to try new things. On August 9 it will be “Social Media for Artists” from 6:30 to 9 p.m. with Penny Olorenshaw and Eric Davidson of PoloDesign. In September it will be art journalling and in

October masks for Hallowe’en. Cost of the classes is only $4 for AQW members or $5 for non-members at the door. Tucked in Tomasso’s were Christine Pellatti and Eidith Kliesch with their brilliant artwork. Joy Wilton had jewellery in Jazz Hair Salon with Swarovski Crystal and sterling silver. She uses special tools to make the chain maille bracelets of silver. On the back patio was Susan Moshynski enjoying the view of the river. She is hoping people will stop by the Rednersville Road Art Out on Labour Day weekend where she is also displaying her work at home. Inside Riverside Music was Judy Black from Ameliasburgh who had a quiet spot to show her paintings. She has been painting for ten years and shows her work at the AQW gallery. Mary Britt and Suzanne Simard Meloche had their art work in Thai Sushi. Suzanne had her granddaughter Stephanie Meloche helping her out. Mary has been painting since 1970 and is originally from Red Deer, Alberta, but her husband was posted here in Trenton where they have retired. She displays her work “all over town” wherever the AQW has displays including at city hall. She works in many media including sand, pastels, oil, acrylics, watercolours and ink

St. Jerome’s church in Warkworth several steps closer to being accessible you help us,” he added. “Just last week an elderly parishioner stepped into a groundhog hole and broke her ankle in three places— this will be a Godsend for her,” he said. The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) which became law on June 13, 2005, is breaking down the barriers faced by people with disabilities. There is a timeline for public places with the goal to make them accessible by 2025. “Sooner or later every public building will have to have access for the disabled,” said Weilandt. Father Tony Berol who came to the church three years ago, has high praise for the project. “Franz is very much involved with maintaining the church,” he said, pointing out there are many in the congregation who help.

hired to get the stamp of approval for the drawings so a building permit could be obtained. Law dictates that a ramp cannot have an incline of more than one inch per linear foot which resulted in the structure being 60 feet in length. “We tried to make it have a minimum impact on the church itself so we tucked it away alongside the building,” commented Weilandt. The structure is in place, now all that’s left to do is the decking and hand railing. “We probably will sneak by from a cash point of view with a little bit of begging and hoping and praying,” said Weilandt. But covering the balance of the costs is a priority. “We are still appealing for funds not just from parishioners but from friends of St. Jerome as well. We have people who used to live here.

EMC News - Campbellford - For the second year in a row, a concert will be held in town to help orphaned, abandoned and abused children in Africa. “We had such great success we decided to do it again this year,” said Roxanne Flagler, who’s organizing the August 24 concert at Old Mill Park to raise money for Mully Children’s Family. It’s a charitable organization that was founded in 1989 by Charles Mulli, a successful businessman in Kenya who decided to devote his life to getting children off the street and placing them in a home where they receive food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education and skills training that will help make them selfsufficient. More than 5,000 children have been saved through his efforts, and another 2,000-plus are under the care of three homes and three community-based centres supported by the organization. “He does amazing work,” helping children “become really well-rounded people” who “might not have had a chance in life at all,” Flagler said. “I was blown away by the incredible faith this man has. All the children have benefitted because of it.” Thousands of Canadians help Mully Children’s Family by volun-

The church has a long history in the community. “In 2012 we had our 110th anniversary,” said Father Barol. Fund raising continues with a golf tournament and dinner which will take place at Salt Creek Golf Course on Sunday, August 18. “For those who don’t golf they can just come to the dinner,” said Father Barol. The cost is $10. Anyone wanting to donate can contact him at: 613-397-3189, or they can attend any of the two church services which are held 10 a.m. every Thursday and 4 p.m. Saturdays, and make a donation. Father Barol also conducts services at Holy Angel’s Church in Brighton and St. Alphonsus Church, Wooler. A blessing of the ramp ceremony will be held upon completion.

Elaine Gerow, and her husband Doug, of Havelock, are among them. “She’s been my inspiration,” Flagler said. “Elaine’s just an incredible person … she’s helped me out in so many ways.” Flagler has been supporting people and worthy causes through her charity, Second Chance Ministries, since 2000 by staging concerts. “For example, I went down to Trinidad to sing on tour and while I was there I donated a piano.” She said “a lot of the artists here in the area have agreed to come and donate their time and energy.” She will be singing with a number of them, including Barbara Robbins, Diane Stanford, and her partner, Phil Smith. The artists—who include Smith’s two children, Lowell and Makeda, Rob Rapino, Dane Campbell, Jana Reid, Jeffrey Holmes, Les Scott (drummer with Candy Mountain, the band Flagler and Robbins sing background vocals for), James Hallett, Dorothy Ann Robbie, Ginny McIlmoyle, Dave Papple, and Larry Sullivan—will be performing pop, rock, jazz, folk, country and gospel music. The event will start at 1 p.m. and end at 9.

She’s already proved she’s capable of doing just that by winning a gold medal in midget girls discus at the Minor Track Association of Ontario meet held July 20 in Brampton. Her throw of 23.22 metres was shy of the 24.5 metres she’s recorded in the past. Winning the event in a ﬁeld of 16 “felt really good,” she said. Kirsten, 13, also earned a silver medal in shot put, with a toss of 10.63 metres, a personal best. Her brother, Brandon, 11, collected a bronze medal in the atom division, with a throw of 20.16 metres in the discus, a personal best, and just 16 centimetres short of winning a silver. “To medal is quite an accomplishment because you’re competing against kids from all over,” said their father, Dave Bevaart, who coaches them at home and at the Quinte Legion Track and Field Club in Belleville where they’ve been members for four years. They followed in the footsteps of their older sister, Mar-

Kirsten also placed second in the hammer throw at a provincial Legion meet held in Sudbury. She took up the sport just this year, and in the past two weeks has added javelin throwing to her training routine. It’s a little lighter at this time year, with no more meets on the horizon; when preparing for competition, she practises at home almost every day for an hour and twice a week at the Belleville for 90 minutes. The workouts include sets of pushups and sit-ups and some exercises with weights. Training with others deﬁnitely helps, “they push you” to work harder, Kirsten said. Like her sister, she has her heart set on earning a scholarship south of the border after high school.

EMC Events - Campbellford - The 18th annual Campbellford BIA Waterfront Festival enjoyed fine weather for a day of ice cream eating, belly flopping, canoe, tube and cardboard boat racing, games of all kinds, and volleyball playing, topped off by a fireworks at night. “This year was successful because I heard it in the laughter and giggles of the participants,” said BIA member Rose-Marie Kerr, whose husband Tom, president of the BIA, was also chair of the festival committee. “I saw it in the glow and wonder on the faces of the kids and parents throughout the day and I heard it in the ahhs! and wows! as they looked skyward to the dazzle of the fireworks that night.” Ms. Kerr also announced that, owing to popular demand by spectators, merchants and instant cardboard boat participants, pre-made cardboard boat races will return next year, so prospective entrants should use the time “to develop strategy, devise new engineering techniques and gather what decorations you may need.” Here are the winners of the BIA contests held on the Trent River: Belly flop - Amy Spencer (junior), Daniel Easton, aka “Super Chicken” (intermediate) and Dan Rossi (adult) Canoe races - Maddy Begbie and Kristen Doyle (intermediate), Monique Bordage and Teagen Burns (adult) Crazy Canoe races - Ryan and Dan Rossi Tube races - Nicole Slain (junior), Kristen Doyle (intermediate), Brian Stecker (adult) Instant cardboard boat races Tegan Burns (junior), Kristen Doyle and Maddy Begbie (intermediate), Monique Bourdage (adult)

Over 100 bikes invade the Tweedsmuir Tavern

Other winners from the Tweedsmuir Show and Shine were Gilles Proulx from Gatineau who won the longest distance travelled, Nathan Arseneault for best sportster, Ian Taylor best vintage, Sherry Rink for best ladies and George Watson for best paint. Photo: Scott Pettigrew

EMC News - Tweed - There was a lot of rumbling and roaring of motorcycle engines in the village on Sunday, August 4, as the Tweedsmuir Tavern held their annual Show and Shine; over 100 bikes ﬁlled the parking lot. Peter Brown has been organizing the event for over ten years and said he was very pleased with this year’s turnout. There were visitors from as far away as Quebec and a good showing of every category for judges to look at. “It’s great to see so many people coming and supporting this year’s fund raiser which is for minor hockey. We are very pleased to announce that we contributed close to $400 to Tweed Minor Hockey. Bikes have always been a passion of mine and over the years I have enjoyed the oppor-

tunity to help organize and emcee this event; it nice to rub elbows with fellow biker enthusiasts.” Ken McKichan, president of minor hockey in Tweed said these monetary contributions will help keep the seasonal cost of hockey down The categories for judging were best custom, best decker, best paint, best sportster, best vintage, best ladies, longest distance and the people’s choice, which was won by Dave Hill. During the Tweedsmuir Show and Shine, Hal Trites from the Tweed Legion showed up and announced that the Legion will be holding a Poker Run September 15 starting at 10 a.m. This will be followed by a Show and Shine and the Charlie Bird Band will perform at 1:30 that afternoon. This is a charity fund raiser for the Legion.

Tweed Minor Hockey President Ken McKichan and Tweedsmuir owner Lawrence Ramsay are seen here drawing the winning 50/50 ticket number as the winner of the draw netted $125 with the same amount going to minor hockey.

Log cabin homestead holds secrets of its pioneer past

The log cabin in Ameliasburgh Pioneer Village is a keeper of secrets from a long past. Photo: Kate Everson By Kate Everson

EMC News - Ameliasburgh - A tiny log cabin in the Ameliasburgh Historical Museum and Pioneer Village holds secrets from its past. Built in 1860 and moved to the museum in 1969, the stone used in the fireplace was from the original root cellar. The nearby smokehouse was used to cure and preserve meat for storage over the long winter months. Step inside the cabin, but watch your head! These doors were built for smaller people. The hearth fireplace is ready for

cooking a pot of stew in its big black kettle. The wooden table is prepared for baking a pie, getting fresh ingredients from the garden just outside. A spinning wheel in the corner makes clothing for a family. Take the steep stairs (but, again, watch your head!) and go upstairs to the tiny bedroom. The double bed is soft with straw and a homemade quilt. The tiny cot next to it is for the child. A chair with a hole in it is for going to the potty on a cold, winter night! You can almost feel a presence in this cabin, that speaks of its many owners and

The bedroom upstairs in the log cabin is cozy and warm for a long winter’s sleep. Photo: Kate Everson

their own sadness. Mrs. White died of childbirth in this room in 1880. In 1909 the barn was struck by lightning. At least ten owners have claimed the cabin throughout its history, but it wasn’t until 1917 that the George Harris family brought the shouts and laughter of children to the house. The building was donated to the Ameliasburgh museum by its last owner, O’Hara, and it was dismantled, repaired and restored to its original glory. The log cabin is just one building in the Ameliasburgh Museum and Pioneer Village located on County Road 19. It is open

from May through summer every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays through to Pioneer Activity Day on September 1 and open again for the Ameliasburgh Country Fair on September 28 and 29. The museum is home to an operational blacksmith shop, a maple sap shanty, beekeeping buildings, dairy display, carpenter’s shop, Amelia’s tea room (open on special occasions), church building gallery (Wesleyan Methodist Church 1868), pioneer barn, drive shed display, giant turbine, pea viner, tractor barn, corn crib and Goldie Corliss 18-foot flywheel.

Ameliasburgh museum is one of five sites on the Museums of Prince Edward County Memory Trail <www. countymemorytrail.ca> which includes Macaulay Heritage Park in Picton, Mariners Museum in South Bay, Rose House Museum in Waupoos, and the Wellington Heritage Museum. The Ameliasburgh Museum also celebrates Christmas in the Village on December 7 from 1 to 4 p.m. Contact the museum at 613-968-9678 for more information or call the head curator at 613-476-2148 extension 258 during off-season.

the runners have to avoid the Zombies. If the Zombies get your flags you are infected with the Zombie virus and you lose!” What is a Zombie? Connie says she doesn’t actually know. On the day of the race there will be a Zombie make-up tent and Zombie School. “I expect they will look ripped and dirty, having just crawled out of the ground,” she said. “And they will probably have pretty gruesome make-up. The un-dead.” Several Zombie fans have already signed up to be Zombies for the event. They have to be over 18 and follow the Zombie rules. No contact. Just look really, really bad. There is even a King of the Zombie. “Only a few participants survive the race,” Connie said. “Those Zombies are good.” She said the event is really about fun, but some can be quite competitive, especially in the five-kilometre race. The races start at 10 a.m. for the Zombits, 11 a.m. for the Youth and 1 p.m. for adults five-kilometre run. “People can register for next year’s race which will be on August 16, 2014,” Connie says. “Registration opens on August 11, 2013.There is a $10 discount for the survivors.” She adds even the “infected” participants can also get a $5 discount if they register before October 31. Connie notes that Batawa Ski Hill has been really good partnering with them on this project, co-ordinating through Morgan Casement. The Quinte West Youth Centre is very busy this summer, Connie adds, with youth participating in various programs. Some are learning how to cook on a barbecue and others are building a garden shed outside the centre. A new program called Youth Link is starting in September with the emphasis on volunteering.

EMC Lifestyles - Quinte West - Over 100 people have already signed up for the ﬁrst annual Quinte Zombie Zone. “There is quite a Zombie following in this area,” says Connie Nye-Kaley, manager of the Quinte West Youth Centre on Wooler Road. “We hope to grow it next year to at least 200.” She said the event will be held at Batawa Ski Hill on August 10, with entries for miniZombits (up to age nine) sponsored by Tim Hortons, Youth Zombie Zone from nine to 13 for the one-kilometre mud run, and adults for the ﬁve-kilometre trail race through zones of Zombies. “My husband and I participated in a Zombie Zone in Toronto and loved it!” Connie said

with a laugh. “They have them all over the U.S. and Ontario but this is the first one in this area.” She said the one in Toronto is well established with over 1,000 participants in a day. Participants pay a fee to enter with all proceeds going to the Quinte West Youth Centre. Registration has already closed online, but Connie says anyone can sign up on the day of the event if they just want to participate in the five-kilometre run. “If they sign up on that day they won’t win any prizes or get T-shirts,” she adds. “But they can still have fun.” Connie notes that the Zombies don’t actually touch anyone. They just grab their flags. “With the Zombits the children just run to the Zombies who hold things out to them,” she adds. “With the older ones,

Farm Fest will bring together consumers, farmers By John Campbell

EMC News - Port Hope - The Northumberland Federation of Agriculture and the county have joined forces with the Port Hope Agriculture Society to bridge the awareness gap that exists between urban consumers and farmers. The organizations, along with the municipalities of Port Hope and Hamilton Township, and the Northumberland Cattlemen’s Association, will stage a free event for the family, Local Farm Fest, August 22 at the Fall Fair Centre in Port Hope’s Town Park Recreation Centre. “Anyone’s welcome,” said Cam

Davidson, president of the Port Hope fair board. The event is designed “to educate the urban consumer about local agriculture,” he said. “People can learn how their food is produced.” Davidson, a dairy farmer north of Cobourg, said “consumers are interested in food that’s produced locally, but at the same time, “there’s a lot of misconceptions about food” because “a lot of people are two, three generations removed from the farm.” The event will give members of the public the opportunity to

ask questions about how food is produced by speaking directly to a farmer. About 25 to 30 areas of farming will be represented, including beef and dairy farmers, and market vegetable growers. “It’s like a Rural Ramble in one location,” said Davidson, referring the annual event that farmers in the county used to organize, in which people would drive to farms taking part in the tour to learn more about their operations ﬁrst hand. There will be a milking demonstration and a clinic on horse care, Davidson said.

TRAVEL

Barcelona’s panoramic city highlights tour with transfer

The unusual architecture of Barcelona’s Cassa Batillo. By John M. Smith

EMC Lifestyles - I’ve previously written about how my wife and I partook in a Mediterranean cruise that began in Venice, Italy, and ended in Barcelona, Spain. Well, we then had to decide how we were getting from the cruise ship to the airport, for our eventual return to Canada, and we concluded that the best option for us was to simply add the “City Highlights Tour, With Transfer,” to our list of shore excursions. After disembarking, we simply loaded our luggage onto our designated tour bus, and then our luggage was right with us at the end of the city tour: no fuss; no muss. The bus would take us directly to the airport, after a four-hour tour of the city or to one of the cruise line’s designated hotels for those who pre-booked and reserved a room and decided to delay their departure. This land tour would work only for cruise ship guests with an airline departure after 3:30 p.m. on the day of disembarkation.

This section of old Roman wall is located in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter.

We drove through Barcelona’s scenic port area (Spain’s largest) and along its best known boulevard, Passeig de Gracia, and we saw the Olympic rings from the 1992 Olympics and its towering Olympics cauldron which had been lit back then by shooting a ﬁery arrow up into it. We also passed by several sports complexes, a statue of Christopher Columbus, the National Palace of Barcelona now an art museum, and the Arenas de Barcelona a large outdoor arena where I witnessed some bull ﬁghting many years ago—before it was banned in Barcelona. We also passed by several of architect Antoni Gaudi’s most intriguing, fascinating works, including Casa Batillo with its eye-popping broken ceramic tiles and Sagrada Familia a mammoth RC church. This Sagrada Familia, a designated World Heritage Site, was of particular interest to me, for it was begun in 1882 and still isn’t completed! Therefore, several architects have worked on this

project, which has been delayed by such things as wars and its reliance on private donations. When architect Gaudi was alive and working on this church, he would answer questions about the length of time the project was taking by simply stating, “My client is not in a hurry.” Our tour guide suggested that we plan to “return in about 2035” to see the completed work! Since this city was founded by the Romans about 2,000 years ago, one would expect to ﬁnd lots of interesting architecture and historic sites here, particularly in the city’s Gothic Quarter, the oldest section. We actually got off the bus and did a walking tour through this area, and this was deﬁnitely a highlight. I was especially impressed by the Barcelona Cathedral (Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia), constructed from the 13th to the 15th centuries, and built on the very foundation of an even earlier church which, at that time (back in the 4th century), had faced the then exist-

ing Roman Forum of Barcelona. As I checked out this area, I witnessed some visible “reminders” of this earlier era, including a section of Roman wall. It was interesting, indeed, to see this combination of Roman ruins and medieval buildings now existing side by side! We also ascended Barcelona’s Montjuic Hill, where a steep cliff provided us with a great view of the harbor and our docked ship. We also found some nice botanical gardens, fountains, and statues on this precipice, and learned that if we weren’t travelling by bus, we could also reach this panoramic lookout point via a funicular railway and a gondola lift. Instead of going directly to the airport after our city tour, we were among those cruise ship passengers who were taken to a pre-selected hotel; our particular accommodations were at the Hesperia Tower Hotel. This ﬁve-star hotel, near the airport, is a member of Great Hotels of the World Luxury Collection,

<www.ghotw.com/hesperia-tower>, and we spent a night at this location before flying back to Canada the following day. The hotel is away from the city centre, but close to a metro station, so it’s easy to go back and forth, if you wish. We decided to simply stay in that area for the remainder of the day, and we enjoyed our evening meal right there, too. Our room was on the 20th floor of the tower, so we certainly had quite a panoramic view right from our room! I also liked the free Wi-Fi connection and airport shuttle provided by this hotel. Therefore, we were able to take in the tour of the city and relax our “sea legs” for a day before our return home. Then we took the complimentary airport shuttle the next morning, and returned to Toronto, via Air Canada, on an 8.5-hour direct flight. My wife was so relaxed and refreshed from our layover that she spent most of the flight watching movies instead of sleeping. She watched four!

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost EMC Lifestyles - There are two types of geraniums: geraniums and another plant that many people call a geranium. They stem from the same family (Ellynâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pun) and share many similar traits. In fact, it is easier to mention the most obvious difference between the two and that is the shape of the ďŹ&#x201A;ower. Geraniums (also called cranesbills because of the appearance of the seed capsule and

Vancouver Centennial Pelargonium

its stem) have a ďŹ ve-petal ďŹ&#x201A;ower in which all the petals are the same size. Pelargoniums (also called storksbills if they originated in the Mediterranean part of the world and heronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill if they are native to the Americas, in which case they fall into the genus Erodium) have the same number of petals but the upper two are markedly smaller than the bottom three. Are you still with me, Gentle Reader? Really, all I wanted to do was to distinguish between what most of us call a perennial geranium and the pot-ďŹ llers we call annual geraniums. Mind you in the annuals alone, there are about seven or so different groups which include ivy, Royal and Zonal to name three of the more common ones. All of this just to get to the point of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column: the Stellar geranium called Vancouver Centennial. Pelargonium x hortum â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vancouver Centennial,â&#x20AC;? a cultivar in the Stellar series. This is not a dominating plant in

spite of its colourful appearance. The pointedly palmate leaves are mainly brick red or ox-blood red with green edging and creamy white or yellow margins, sort of like pin-striping. The ďŹ&#x201A;owers are bright red, rising above the foliage a few inches. With a mature height and spread of about 12 inches, Vancouver Centennial (VC) needs to be carefully situated in order to achieve its best effects. In our gardens, I planted it in two distinct settings. One is a patio container sharing space with an ivy geranium, Baltic ivy and some red ďŹ&#x201A;owering wax begonias. The planter is nice to look at because the colours blend and because it is a busy offering with much happening in terms of texture, leaf shapes, and the very different forms. One does have to look closely to separate out the individuals and the VC is almost lost. Next time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try â&#x20AC;&#x153;smallerâ&#x20AC;? leafed plants such as Helichrysum petiolare (Licorice Plant) or one that has stronger

I wonder if porn will follow the same trajectory, because it has all the same ingredients. People think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to relax! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harmless. And yet, drip by drip, little by little, researchers are starting to realize how destructive it can actually be, both to relationships and to the person using porn him or herself. Porn rewires the brain so that what becomes arousing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a person; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an image. And pretty soon arousal requires that stimulus. Being with a live human being isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough anymore. In fact, sex and relationship counsellor Ian Kerner reports on a new term for thisâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sexual Attention DeďŹ cit Disorder, or SADD. Consume enough porn, and not only do you ďŹ nd making love with a person boring; often men arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even able to function without the external stimulus.

Pornography actually works in the brain very similarly to the way cocaine doesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;except that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more addictive. Using porn releases the naturally occurring â&#x20AC;&#x153;pleasureâ&#x20AC;? hormones dopamine, norepinephrine, oxytocin and serotonin in high levels. The dopamine spike in the brain from porn lasts even longer than regular sexâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even longer than cocaine. So you go from craving a real relationship to craving porn, at an even greater intensity than drug users crave drugs. And unlike other drugs, which do leave the system, those images are imprinted there. Once you see something, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get it out. Even if you want to just be romantic and concentrate on your spouse, these pictures ďŹ&#x201A;ood back. Those pictures give a dangerous message, too: sex is only about the physical, and never about an emotional

Reality Check: EMC Lifestyles - Plane rides as a young child were always ďŹ lled with trepidation for me. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crashing that I was afraid of. It was being assigned the ďŹ rst row in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;no smokingâ&#x20AC;? sectionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; meaning that the row right in front of you was lighting up. In the 1970s half the population smoked. A few decades earlier King George VI was even told to smoke for his health. It would keep him less stressed, and would help his stuttering problem. Unfortunately, he died in his ďŹ fties of complications from smoking. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too long ago, then, that smoking was considered harmless, and even kings did it. It was cool, it was fun, and it helped you relax! Today if you smoke youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a pariah. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you care about your health? Smoking was once cool and widespread, but now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in disfavour.

contrasts in petal and ďŹ&#x201A;ower colour such as Euphorbia graminea â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diamond Frost.â&#x20AC;? The second location for VC is the southwest corner of our front walkway garden, a prominent viewing spot for all visitors coming onto the estate. In this location there is paving brick to the south, asphalt to the west, and the shade retreats until after 6 p.m. VC is not only thriving but is also remarkably showy. Immediately behind the grouping of three, is a small terra cotta lady beetle peeking into an overturned cast iron urn. Above to the left are the soft azure needles of a globe blue spruce standard, and on the right is the chartreuse green of a Thundercloud Japanese pine. Behind all of that are the aged red bricks of our century-plus home which brings the colour wheel full circle. At our annual barbecue, it was the most commonly noted ďŹ&#x201A;ower by our visitors, many of whom soon lost interest in horticulture as the breeze

wafted smoky fragrances their way. Vancouver Centennial will make a return visit in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gardens. Just to ďŹ ll in the geranium listings GR not yet mentioned, we do have Martha Washingtons sharing space with Key Lime heuchera, and some red ďŹ&#x201A;owering Pintos mingling with gazanias and marigolds. Also, seven or so different cranesbills tucked away in the shrub borders. New to us is the Biokovo cranesbill which is rapidly becoming the go-to geranium for local landscapers. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to close this column with an apology to some of our friends. We recently held our annual barbecue and there was a glitch in the emails that went out. We thought there was an unusual number of non-RSVPs but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise it was a direct result of emails not being received. In church, this past week, conversations showed this to be a fact. So, friends, I apologise. Next year, fer sure, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re invited.

Is porn the new smoking?

connection. I worry that people are losing the ability to make love, and all theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is having sex, with porn videos running through their heads the entire time. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not loving someone; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s using someone. Porn addiction is like any other addiction: eventually your body becomes accustomed to the stimulus, and you need more and more of it to achieve the same high. What started off as just watching women in bikinis can progress to watching violence, rape, and even child porn. Last month Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former deputy education minister, Benjamin Levin, who also worked on Premier Wynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transition team, was arrested on seven charges related to child pornography. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something that affects only People who use porn are more likely the â&#x20AC;&#x153;seedy undersideâ&#x20AC;? of our society; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to be unfaithful in marriage; more likely the well-connected and wealthy, too. to start up an online â&#x20AC;&#x153;cyber affairâ&#x20AC;?; more likely to lose their jobs; more likely to go bankrupt; and more likely to become severely depressed. And so perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that, as Dr. Jill Manning Keeping the emergency kit in Preparedâ&#x20AC;? web site at <www. testiďŹ ed before the U.S. Senate, porn an accessible location, and in a getprepared.gc.ca>. use is now implicated in 56 per cent of handy carry bag, is advisable, Information on what to do divorces. especially if you were ordered during extended power outages Maybe you really think porn isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that to leave your home during an and in ďŹ&#x201A;ooding situations is also bad.

Sheila Wray Gregoire

People should make time to prepare for an emergency emergency, a good place to start is keeping an extra supply of food in your home. Readyto-eat, non-perishable items such as canned ham, tuna and salmon, energy bars, and dried foods are invaluable when electricity is knocked out and it may be impossible to cook or warm up food. During a power outage, keeping the refrigerator door closed to maintain the temperature inside is advisable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the power comes back on, check to see that food in the fridge is still safe to eat,â&#x20AC;? he notes. A clean supply of water is also essential in an emergency. If a power outage occurs, people may want to ďŹ ll as many containers as possible with water to ensure there is a supply on hand. Keeping bottled water at home to use in an emergency is also a good idea, but the water should be rotated and replaced prior to its best-before date. This precaution is very important in the event of a ďŹ&#x201A;ood, when

water from municipal systems or private wells may be contaminated and unsafe to use, he adds. Another way to prepare for the unexpected is creating an emergency kit that contains short-term essentials such as clothing, bathroom supplies, fold-up blankets, ďŹ&#x201A;ashlights and batteries. An upto-date list of medication and emergency contacts should also be kept on hand.

EMC News - Campbellford - Be ready, whatever the weather. That is the advice of the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit, which is encouraging people to be prepared in the event of an emergency. Summer can bring its share of extreme weather, including heavy rain, high wind and severe thunderstorms, and that can create havoc if electricity is knocked out to communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether a blackout or a severe storm, emergencies can occur suddenly and without notice, so that makes it very important to be prepared and expect the unexpected,â&#x20AC;? says Christopher Beveridge, director of environmental health with the HKPR District Health Unit. In the event of an emergency in a community, it may take emergency workers some time to reach people. That is why families and individuals should be prepared to take care of themselves for a minimum of 72 hours. To prepare for an

Reba, Trace and friends will make it quite a party

By Bill Freeman

EMC Entertainment - Havelock You could go out on a limb and say that the Reba McEntire and Trace Adkins party has already started in Havelock. It took three years of trying but patience, good will and the right set of circumstances paid off for the Havelock Country Jamboree which welcomes Reba McEntire to its massive new stage Saturday night. The four-day music party, its 24th, begins August 15 with award-winning Canadian singer and television star Tara Oram taking the stage after an aerial parachute exhibition by the Sky Hawks

and the national anthem by Brandon Scott of the hot Cold Creek Country band. The Thursday night show, with Small Town Pistols (Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson), Kix Brooks, Charlie Daniels and Colt Harley, will set the pace for this year’s Jamboree which is clearly thrilled to host performances by the likes of Reba, Adkins, Wynonna Judd, Travis Tritt, Kathy Mattea, Gord Bamford and dozens more. “Our fans are excited that we’ve gone back to our country roots which our show is built on,” says Jamboree marketing and event director Jennifer

Goheen. “Our mature crowd is loving the lineup and we have some stuff in there for the kids too. It’s well-rounded,” Goheen said. Friday’s lineup includes up-andcoming young Canadian singer Jess Moskaluke, the legendary Good Brothers, JT Hodges, Grammy award winners Wynonna, Travis Tritt and Canadian stars Ambush. On Saturday, Peterborough’s Western Avenue starts things off followed by another bright young performer, Jada Dreyer, Bobby Wills, BR549, Josh Thompson, Trace Adkins, Reba

and highly regarded Canadian singer songwriter Dallas Smith. Trinity opens things up Sunday followed by The Western Swing Authority, Bobby Bare, Grammy winner Kathy Mattea, the Slocan Ramblers and Coup de Ville. “We’ve got some fun performers,” says Goheen. Canadian Dallas Smith is carving out a critically acclaimed new career as a country singer after fronting west coast punk band Default and Goheen says the Jamboree is excited to bring him on stage after Reba’s Saturday gig. Jada Dreyer and Bobby Wills are also

“right on the brink” of stardom. It’s Kathy Mattea’s first appearance in Havelock and the “audience is very receptive to her coming in,” says Goheen. “She’s been on our list for a long time. She wasn’t touring for a while and now she’s got new stuff out and is on the road again.” All in all, the four-day program is nicely balanced, Goheen says. “We’ve got two big classic guys every day and we’re ending with good Canadian acts and some up-and-coming bands. It’s a nice well-rounded show. I think our best lineup yet.”

Chart-topping singer Trace Adkins will rock the Havelock Country Jamboree’s stage August 17.

Reba McEntire makes her first appearance on the Havelock Country Jamboree’s new stage August 17.

Grammy award winning singer Travis Tritt will keep the party going when he hits the Havelock Country Jamboree’s new stage on August 16.

The new permanent stages, built by David Donald Construction of Campbellford and a crew of local labour and suppliers like Havelock Metal, will take a star turn of their own opening up a new world of entertainment possibilities in Havelock. “It has been a quick year for us especially with the stages,” says Jennifer Goheen, Jamboree marketing and event director. “We really had to do the change this year with increasing the size of the stage to get people like Trace and Reba,” Goheen said. The move to modernizing and doubling the

size, while maintaining the unique twin stage concept that’s become a Jamboree signature, has been in the works for a while but 2013 was the right time to initiate the change, she added. Fans and performers will enjoy what they see: each stage is 60 feet wide and 40 feet deep, with a height of 32 feet to the ﬁrst beam; between the stages is a 12 foot wide room for sound crews and storage. The total stage frontage is 132 feet long. “With the size and the new roof structure we’re able to hang more lighting,” says Goheen. The stage height will allow performers to hang some of their own screens. There are changes to sound, lighting and the day video screens as well. “The whole production,” Goheen said. Metal Works, an industry leader in sound and production, will be in charge. “That’s a big switch for us,” Goheen said.

Goheen says the company couldn’t wait to get on site and begin to set things up. Entertainers demand what the Jamboree can now offer with the stage. “Acts want that because they want their shows to be the best of what they have to offer technically so we have to be able to provide the platform for that,” says Goheen. Surprisingly, they didn’t lose much backstage space which is a bonus, she said. “The way it is set up we can unload and shunt a truck off and bring another one in.” It was a “big project” and harsh winter weather meant an extended wait for the ground to thaw before work could begin on site. That put things two-and-a-half-months behind schedule but once crews got to work they were able to make up considerable time and were

wrapping things up two weeks before show-time. “Dave Donald and his crew have been fantastic to get things done,” said Goheen. “We were running three to four weeks behind but they closed that gap quite quickly.” Everything was built on site except the prefabricated structure. “We wanted to keep the same concept and look of the old stages because they were so successful and worked so well with our platform for years. It was really sad to take that down. We all had tears when the bulldozers came in and took the tops off them.” What they’ve got now is exactly what owner Ed Leslie envisaged. “It looks like the ﬁrst drawing [but] to see a picture is one thing; to stand on them you see the vast change in the structure.”

“It’s Always Something”

EMC News - Campbellford The benefits of cannabis as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;legal medicineâ&#x20AC;? will be the focus of a booth at the new Wellness Expo being organized by Jane Fry for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Campbellford fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have met all the criteria for the expo and am just waiting to hear back about my application,â&#x20AC;? said Al Graham, a medical marijuana user who is a spokesperson and founder of People Advocating Cannabis Education (P.A.C.E.), â&#x20AC;&#x153;a local grassroots organization.â&#x20AC;? Suffering from Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, a chronic (lifelong) illness, he uses cannabis for its medicinal benefits, with a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prescription. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taking it for seven years for Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone the whole time completely painkiller free without oxycontins or percocets,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My focus at the fair will be on education of cannabis and its use for medical purposes â&#x20AC;Ś and its use for commercial or industrial purposes. For example, hemp and cannabis can be made into clothing, creams etc.,â&#x20AC;? he said. He will have P.A.C.E. brochures on hand to distribute as well as copies of the magazine Treating Yourself both of which are also available online. The magazine builds awareness, generates interest, educates and provides readers (which include medical marijuana, alternative medicine users, members of the hemp community, their caregivers, professionals in this and related industries) â&#x20AC;&#x153;with conscientious, ethical, and reliable information to assist them with the management of their wide and varied health needs and

provide them with access to safe and reliable products.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have boxes of the magazine to give to people for free,â&#x20AC;? said Graham. As well he will be providing educational information â&#x20AC;&#x153;about the old [government] program and the new program, about living as a medical user, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it like in society now, is its use accepted, are we accepted etc.,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be touching on it all in order to bring cannabis medicine into the mainstream more.â&#x20AC;? He has had a P.A.C.E. booth in Toronto at various venues including the National Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Show and the International Home and Garden Show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be the first time P.A.C.E. has done this in a small town Wellness Expo,â&#x20AC;? said Graham, explaining that the criteria included a $50 fee for the booth, providing a door prize and having $1 million liability insurance, something vendors are asked to provide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cannabis as a medical alternative is something people need to learn about because it is an option that they have.â&#x20AC;? He will also talk about the changes the government is making. The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health, announced new regulations last month that will change the way Canadians access marijuana for medical purposes. According to Health Canada since its introduction in 2001, its Marihuana Medical Access Program (MMAP) has grown exponentially, from under 500 authorized persons to over 30,000 today. Under the new regulations, production will no longer take

place in homes â&#x20AC;&#x153;and municipal zoning laws will need to be respected, which will further enhance public safety.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As of September 30, no patients will be allowed to apply for a licence to grow,â&#x20AC;? said Graham. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As well when this new program kicks in all the patients will have to tear down their gardens and destroy anything theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown, as of March 31, 2014,â&#x20AC;? he added. For more information about P.A.C.E. go to <www.pace-online.ca>. For information about the changes by Al Graham, spokesperson and founder of P.A.C.E., has applied for and expects to be approved for a booth at the Wellness Expo Health Canada go to <www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ at the Campbellford fair taking place this weekend.

Sea-to-Sea bike tour wheeling through Brighton Poverty Facts

By Ray Yurkowski

EMC News - Brighton - More than 200 cyclists are expected in Brighton next week as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sea-to-Seaâ&#x20AC;? bicycle tour, to raise awareness and funding to fight poverty worldwide, rolls through town. Billed as the largest crosscontinental bicycle tour ever, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey began on June 24 with a ceremonial dip of their back tires in the Pacific Ocean at Newport Beach, California, and, on August 24, will end with dipping their front tires in the Atlantic at Staten Island, New York City. The cyclists are travelling 6,178 kilometres through the Unites States and Canada with a goal to raise $3 million in support of alleviating poverty locally, nationally and internationally. This is the second â&#x20AC;&#x153;cycling to end povertyâ&#x20AC;? tour for Brighton cyclist Local cyclists Sara Bakelaar, Pastor Jake Kuipers and Kaitlyn Kuipers pose Kaitlyn Kuipers. for a photo last weekend along the 6,178-kilometre Sea-to-Sea route, in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people thought I was crazy at Grand Rapids, Michigan first,â&#x20AC;? she said, recalling when she told

friends about her plan to do it again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when I explained the cause, they understood.â&#x20AC;? Now a teacher, she sees the effect on children in the classroom every day. Now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a champion for the cause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in the cause,â&#x20AC;? she said, in an interview last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re raising awareness and the money we raise will go somewhere that will make a difference.â&#x20AC;? About 80 bikers are committed to riding the full distance and each raised a minimum of $10,000 in donations. So far, Kaitlyn has brought in more than $11,500. Other local participants are Pastor Jake Kuipers (no relation) of Ebenezer Christian Reformed Church in Trenton and Sara Bakelaar of Carrying Place. Pastor Jake and Saraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Lawrence, rode the previous tour in 2008. Kaitlyn is pedalling an average of 114 kilometres a day, six days a week, on the same bike she used on the last

As you read this, on August 8 and with more than one-quarter of the journey to go, she is already committed to signing up for another tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably have to upgrade my bike by then,â&#x20AC;? she said with a chuckle. Kaitlyn explains how thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sense of community among the cyclists. A support system includes two transport trucks: one full of gear, the other a travelling kitchen, along with a fulltime nurse. Incredibly, Pastor Jake is still on the tour after he was airlifted to a Colorado medical centre to have two stents implanted in his heart. While doctors say he has to slow down the pace, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back and still pedalling.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was able to be discharged within 24 hours of the procedure,â&#x20AC;? he told the Ebenezer congregation in a Facebook post. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful to be rejoined with the Sea-to-Sea group.â&#x20AC;? The cyclists are set to arrive in Brighton at the Fellowship Christian Reformed Church (204 Main Street) on August 13, where, from noon until 4 p.m., theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be treated to refreshments, snacks and a special ice-cream sundae. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be time to meet the cyclists.

Northumberland shows steady growth through influx of retirees EMC News - Northumberland - Northumberland County was one of only two rural areas in the province to grow in population annually from 1996 to 2012, even though it recorded more deaths than births in each of those years. The reason for the steady increase, according to the Rural Ontario Institute (ROI), based on census data collected by Statistics Canada, is that more people moved to Northumberland and Muskoka than moved out. And they were likely seniors. The same two non-metro census divisions, Northumberland and Muskoka, saw the number of seniors in their populations grow annually at a rate of increase higher than the average for Ontario, 2.6 per cent, during the 16-year period. In Northumberland it was 2.9 per cent, with Muskoka right behind at 2.8 per cent, prompting the institute to note in one of its Focus on Rural Ontario fact sheets that the two regions “appear to be attracting retirees,” which “implies an increase in the demand for services for seniors. These services range from specialized medical practitioners and residences for seniors to wheelchairfriendly grocery stores.” Northumberland also led the province’s 27 non-metro census divisions in having immigrants make up ten per cent of its population (79,640) in 2011, compared to seven per cent on average for the others. “But, generally speaking, rural Ontario as a whole is not attracting a lot of newcomers to Canada,” said Norman Ragetlie, the institute’s director of policy and stakeholder engagement, and the country needs more immigrants because that’s the only way it’s going to grow by 2030, according to another ROI fact sheet. Northumberland, like most counties in the province, will see more Ontarians exiting the labour force in the next ten years than those entering it, “so we need new people to move in, and where are the new people going to come from?” Ragetlie asked. “If nothing else changes, labour shortages may become a limiting factor on economic success in many non-metro areas,” said Cathy Redden, a Campbellford resident who just completed her second year on ROI”s board of directors Ragetlie said the series of fact sheets being produced by the institute is aimed at “the powers to be [who] need to have a better appreciation and understanding of the trends that are going on in rural Ontario,” which are different from what’s happening generally in the province. “It’s important to understand that diversity, so that policies that are made at Queen’s Park [and other levels of government] … reflect the different realities of the province.” Attention should be paid to demographic changes because they will have “all sorts of ripple effects in the community,” Ragetlie said, such as fewer working age people to support seniors, and possibly school closings. Dan Borowec, Northumberland’s director of economic development, said the institute’s fact sheets are “exceptionally useful” in providing solid research that supports anecdotal evidence of what is taking place in the county. They also “give us a clearer direction

with council in terms of where we want to go in a strategic fashion or where we want to invest some of our dollars.” One of its investments has been to create an online immigration portal to attract newcomers to Northumberland The data has always been available through Statistics Canada and other surveys but “it’s usually not packaged in a way you can see specifically what’s happening in rural areas compared to rural areas,” Ragetlie said. “What we’re trying to do is present the information in a way where people can more readily grasp what the trends are.” “We’re not there to lobby, to push our agenda, we are there as a resource,” The Focus on Rural Ontario fact Redden said. “The information that we have is dead on, it’s accurate and it’s up sheets can be viewed online at <www. ruralontarioinstitute.ca>. to date.”

Cathy Redden joined the Rural Ontario Institute’s board of directors two years ago because she was “looking for something to do other than housework” and she was drawn to the organization because of the work it does. “It was something I was really interested in,” which is to build “a strong, vibrant rural Ontario,” she said, by giving its leaders and organizations “the tools to become better than what they are.” Photo: John Campbell

Hastings waterfront festival will be “bigger, better” By Bill Freeman

EMC Events - Hastings - With a second evening concert added to the bill and the return of elegantly restored antique boats, the seventh annual Hastings Waterfront Festival will be “bigger and better” than ever with something for every interest, organizers say. “Every year it’s better,” says Trent Hills Deputy-mayor and Hastings Councillor Bob Crate of the festival which runs August 16 to 18. Crate, charmed by Jungle Cat World’s sociable 17-year-old ring-tailed lemur Guido, joined NorthumberlandQuinte West MP Rick Norlock, festival chair Erin Farley and other volunteers during a special kickoff morning at the

Hastings Village Marina that featured the announcement of a $5,400 federal Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage grant. “Because of the money we’ve received over the years it has made a huge difference in the festival,” says Farley. “It’s bigger and better every year and we can promote it so more people know about it.” “We’re very excited about this year’s festival,” said Farley. Key this year is the return of the Trent Severn Antique and Classic Boat Association who missed last year because of a 100th anniversary re-enactment in the Muskokas. Organizers have also added a Saturday

The festival kicks off August 16 with a double header concert with two popular bands, Freddy Vette and the Flames (7 p.m.) and the Black Fly Band (10 p.m.) rocking the waterfront. The weekend-long silent auction, beer tent and barbecue will also get under way Friday night. The grant, Norlock said, is to “help celebrate and stimulate” the three-day festival. “We’re just so thrilled to be here,” he said. The festival is “a great way to build community and attract tourists and expose Hastings [to the rest of the world].” He conceded that $5,400 was “not a lot of money” but is still part of the federal government’s “commitment to the village of Hastings. “There is so much good going on [in Hastings]; it’s alive and vibrant,” Norlock said. “One of the ways in which communities come together is by celebrating events that highlight the uniqueness of our region.” Saturday’s events also include artisans, crafters and vendors, craft and woodworking demonstrations, a heritage Trent Hills Deputy-mayor and Hastings Councillor Bob Crate was charmed by Guido, Jungle Cat World’s sports display by the Hastings Historical 17-year-old ring-tailed lemur, during a kickoff day for the seventh annual Hastings Waterfront FestiSociety, free pony rides and a petting zoo val which runs from August 16 to 18.
