EMC News - Havelock Havelock-Belmont-Methuen has turned the heat up on the provincial government to deliver on its promise of opening up more long-term-care beds and did so in “absolutely crystal clear” fashion during a very public “handing off” of an application for a 128-bed LTC home just south of the village.

“Make no mistake about it, this project is moving forward, we’re serious.

We’re ready now. The need is there,” a passionate Reeve Ron Gerow told a packed Lions Hall last week. Included were Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal, who accepted the application, and Tim Harrold, senior vice president of AON Inc. which says it can have the $13- to $14-million two-storey facility built and open in one year.

The municipality would neither own nor operate the facility.

The 128-bed home would be located on property off Old Norwood Road already zoned for a seniors-related development that would also include a medical centre, assisted living units and geared-to-income seniors apartments. A day-care centre and other “integrated community opportunities” are being considered as part

of the proposal.

The municipality has been pursuing the proposal for several years and has consulted closely with landowners Jim and Lorraine Smith and John and Gail Richards who have “graciously worked with council” to get the nearly 18-acre parcel zoned.

“We cannot assert enough we want to get this thing done,” said Gerow. “We have a need in this community to build a new long-term-care facility.”

“It’s all here in H-B-M,” he said noting the seniors population, estimated at 65 per cent, the labour force, partners, volunteers and the land.

“We’re ready to put the shovel in the ground in early September and begin the process,” Gerow said in an interview. “It will take one year to build and have up and running.

“This has been in the works for a long time. We’ve done our homework. We collated the data and the background to make the application.”

Peterborough County has the oldest population in Ontario and Gerow says there are over 900 seniors waiting for long-term-care beds. On any given day there are 130 Please see “Province” on page 3

Waterfront festival makes a big splash in town

ON THE ROAD

By Sue Dickens

EMC Events - Campbellford - Competitive events in the Trent made a big splash at the 16th annual Campellford Waterfront Festival as spectators filled the bleachers to watch.

“What this does for our community is this is our summer celebration,” said BIA President Tom Kerr, chairman of the waterfront festival committee. “We’ve got this going on and next weekend is the Campbell-

ford Fair. This is our week here in town.”

The day began as people lined up for the Rotary Club’s popular pancake and sausage breakfast. John Gabriel, who took on the duties of president on July 1, said, “The club wants to be part of the community and be part of this event.”

The Rebels Beach Volleyball Tournament saw at least ten teams enjoying the competition with players coming from as far away

as Hamilton and Brampton.

By the end of the day two Campbellford teams battled it out with Curtis Haig’s team beating out Tracey Foster’s players with a final score of 36 - 20.

Kurtis Young of the Rebels executive was there along with about ten other volunteers, Rebels players among them, keeping score.

Some of the Rebels’ players joined the volleyball competition too.

the need is tenfold and this community has never put forward an application before. We are ready and we want to see this thing done in a very professional way that’s why we’ve worked with AON.” Gerow also referred to a 1999 provincial bed call that was “not picked up.” He says their application could be directed toward that as well.

“We’re just asking to pick those beds up to make this work.”

The municipality’s master plan goes beyond the 128bed facility and Gerow feels a new medical centre could easily be step two.

“We need to solve the doctor problem in a permanent way, that’s why we made it a part of the master plan. That may very well be the next link that happens.

“I think it’s crucial. I think it will fall right in very well

Restoration expert examines St. Mary’s church

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - Renowned historic restoration architect Peter Stokes knows the importance of preserving landmarks such as St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church and its steeple.

“I think some of the problems may have been built into the church when constructed over 100 years ago.

Some have developed since,” he told EMC. Stokes toured the church recently with Tom Plue, owner of Skyhigh Restoration, which has been selected through a bidding process to do the restoration work.

“There are signs of failure that may be due to external forces,” he added.

The third oldest parish in the county of Northumberland, Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, dates to 1850. The original church built in 1862-1864 burned to the ground in 1899 and the following year a new church was erected.

The first renovations were done in 1985 followed by a lot of “patchwork” over the past seven years.

“I am always interested in how churches get sited. This one is in a very prominent position on a hill and as a

20th century creation it fascinates me,” said Stokes.

“Churches of that period usually have decorations that are quite profuse. This doesn’t.

I know a church in Quebec of about the same period that has the same feeling of being very open and airy inside. It doesn’t have an overbearing feeling. The columns inside are particularly elegant,” he said, calling the church “pristine.”

The damage Stokes saw has taken place over many years and may have been impacted in the great earthquake that hit Ontario in 1944.

“I noticed whole sections of masonry had been disturbed on the building particularly on the south tower.

The nature of the building, being constructed of limestone means there is a fine texture surface that weathers and glazes over and also fractures,” he explained.

Repointing work in the past with cement may have trapped moisture in the stones and caused it to deteriorate faster than it should, said Stokes.

“You always have to have respect for the original builders and try to understand what they were trying to achieve,” he added.

Stokes is putting together a report “on the condition of the church and how they might proceed,” to be given to the church’s building committee and Father Jean-Pierre Pilon so they can proceed with the restoration.

“It’s going to be a longterm job,” he said.

Plue and Stokes are good friends.

“They now have a consultant who can help them … a friend. He knows the business and is going to look at it constructively,” said Plue who hopes to start the restoration project in October.

“It is challenging because all the work we are going to do is above 60 feet off the ground,” said Plue. He has a team of six to eight people he relies on for projects like this.

“All the work has to be done with old material that matches what they used for the masonry work 100 years ago … a sand lime mortar mix which is softer than stone. The cement mortar mix they used in the past is harder than stone and made it worse,” he added.

The bell in the church is of great concern because it now sits on a wooden floor inside the steeple and as Plue explained, “there is an

extreme amount of rot going on there.”

The one-ton bell at St. Mary’s may be ringing again one day, a sign of the restoration.

For James McKay, chair of the church’s finance committee, the priority is to first stop the rain from leaking into the building.

That is the first phase and is expected to cost $178,000.

The bell tower fund-raising committee, which has 14, is planning a number of events to help pay for the much-needed restoration.

“The first thing we have to do is get a web site up for the church to facilitate fund raising,” he said.

Further work to repair and restore the stained glass windows and more means upwards of $500,000 will have to be raised eventually.

The diocese is $3 million in debt and cannot assist with funds so the committee is thinking of ways to raise the money while at the same time hoping the community and church parishioners will donate. Fundraising ideas include a giant yard sale, re-dedicating the stained glass windows for a donation of $3,000 per

Day parade that featured the colourful doors and façade that was part of the old library on Front Street East. The large pieces of folk craft were the end result of a summer craft club program run by Dorothy Caldwell in the 1980s.

The student handiwork had been stored in former librarian Joanne Carlen’s barn for over 20 years until they were brought out for the Canada Day anniversary float.

Representations of the folk designs are featured on a post card that the Hastings Founders Week has printed.

“We didn’t want to pick a date. We just wanted to celebrate the whole year,” said Coughlan.

The proceeds from one of the three rubber ducky races St. George’s Anglican Church run on August 13 will be donated to the Hastings Library.

On October 14 the Friends of the Library will hold another author’s night.

Coughlan says the library’s 50th birthday is “quite a milestone.”

“When you think of it 50 years is a long time.”

There is still time to enter a bookmark design. Call or visit the Hastings Public Library at the civic centre.

Letters to the editor

Just doing my duty as a consumer

Dear Editor, When George Dubya directly after 9/11 urged all Americans to go out and spend, as a way of hitting back at the terrorists, people proved their patriotism by doing just that.

So when I patriotically bought a pair of rubber boots this spring how sorry I became when the sole of one split side to side, and I found out that the terrorists had in fact won.

During junior’s term in office more jobs were shipped

from the USA to China than the previous century. This meant that in order for unemployed Americans to be patriotic they had to borrow money, which oddly enough filtered down from communist China.

North American money has increasingly been vacating en mass to Ireland (Microsoft) etc, or simply to offshore tax havens to avoid needless taxes. Small buildings in places like the Cayman Islands have several thousand businesses registered in them. A shingle on a door there can save millions in taxes, saved from governments who would otherwise spend the money on healthcare, education and more often now on prisons, bombs, fighters and missiles.

As a consumer, my duty is to buy 1,000 feet of siding when I only need 850 feet or pay extra. My needs have become irrelevant; the needs of the manufacturer, shipper and retail store are paramount. As a customer of Hydro One, I have no choice in being repeatedly zapped by electro magnetic pulses, even though I would rather pay the higher cost for all my electricity to avoid this.

This is apparently government policy according to the spokesman possibly in Mumbai.

In California, many municipalities have made these “Smart Meters” optional, since there is enough evidence to link them along with cell phones, microwave towers, etc., to increases in cancer rates.

When the product reaches its useful life span, (I am old enough to remember a pair of rubber boots being handed down to younger brothers), let’s say a week is premature, they go to the dump. The dump is still being filled with toxic stuff; the little piece of radioactive americium in every smoke detector, the mercury in all those four- and eight-foot fluorescents, every manner of hi-fi gadget, obsolete the day they are made. Oh, I may be able to take some of this to a depot 30 miles away on two or three specified days of the year, but it’s unlikely to coincide with my work or shopping schedule.

Another option is the rental storage now available.

Goldman Sachs CEO collected $12.5 million this year and his lackeys shared $175 million, just two years after they were a primary force in the financial collapse, which

took trillions of dollars from shareholders and pension funds, throwing million of workers on the street in the process. Somehow in this “Alice in Wonderland” world the taxpayers were once again fleeced to keep the system going as if nothing had happened. Soon to be repeated as the largest consumer economy, like an iceberg is set to topple.

Dear Editor, Re: CLWA support for proposed Marmora Pumped Storage Project The Crowe Lake Waterway Association (CLWA) is a membership organization of approximately 200 permanent and seasonal property owners on Crowe Lake, Crowe River and associated waterways. The CLWA has a strong commitment to Crowe Lake and its waterways and to protecting this magnificent natural resource. The CLWA also has a strong commitment to the economic strength of the municipality of Marmora and Lake. The Marmora Pumped Storage Project will benefit the community and the region economically and from what we know of the project, should not be detrimental to the lake and the waterways. Therefore, the Crowe Lake Waterway Association supports the proposed Marmora Pumped Storage Project. The CLWA urges council to continue efforts to gain approval by the Province of Ontario and the Ontario Power Authority. The CLWA also urges the Minister of Energy Brad Duguid and MPP Leona Dombrowsky to support the proposed Marmora Pumped Storage project.

The $660-million construction project, with 400 to 1,000 jobs during the four-year construction and

35 to 45 permanent highpaying jobs, will provide short-term and long-term benefits to the community and the region. Marmora has a proud history and the mine operation was a critical part of the economy in the past. This project will restore many of those benefits to Marmora and Lake and Hastings County. It should also bring new elements into the economic and community life in Marmora and Lake.

The inclusion of ecotourism features in the project plans could be a valuable asset to the community. The project should be a natural tourist attraction. The development of wetlands trails, environmental attractions, and associated facilities could make Marmora an important tourist destination. The benefits to the businesses in the community and the region are obvious. The CLWA mission is built around the waterways and intelligent use of this natural resource.

The positive approach to the environment and ecology contained in the project plan is an important factor in the CLWA endorsement.

The interest shown by local colleges and universities is encouraging. Efforts by these educational institutions to incorporate the facility into their curriculum could expand the uses of the

facility in many ways. Studies of tourism, energy research, ecology, or business and economic development could be developed around the Pumped Storage Project to be part of the education of students from primary school to university level.

Any efforts by these educational institutions in the life of the community will benefit everyone.

There are numerous benefits not mentioned above.

Briefly, the use of the mine as a Pumped Storage Facility removes from any future consideration the much less desirable use of the mine as a waste disposal site. The interest and involvement in the community by Northland Power is a logical consequence of their long-term operation of this facility. Finally, the presence of a major source of power, coupled with the recently discussed high-speed Internet project, would make the entire region an attractive place for many types of businesses.

The Crowe Lake Waterway Association supports the Marmora Pumped Storage Project because it promises many short-term and long-term benefits to the community and the region with no apparent negative consequences to the natural resource that CLWA holds so dear.

Do you have an opinion you’d like to share?

Write the editor tbush@theemc.ca

The U.S. debt deal EMC Editorial Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman nailed it right away: “Basically the Republicans [said] we’ll blow up the world economy unless you give us exactly what want, and the Gwynne Dyer we president said, okay.

That’s what happened.”

The fine print of the last-minute deal between U.S. President Barack Obama and the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Republican majority leader John Boehner, hardly matters. There will be cuts in government spending, or rather in the rate at which government spending was projected to rise, but the big thing is: there will be no tax increase.

That is pretty bizarre in a country with a huge budget deficit and the lowest tax rate in fifty years. The normal response would be to cut spending and raise taxes. Even the Conservative-led coalition government in the United Kingdom, the poster boy for savage budget-cutting, has done that. But not the United States.

True, the deal has averted the imminent prospect of a default on the U.S. government’s debts, which was allegedly going to happen this week unless Congress voted to raise the legal limit on government borrowing (currently $14.3 trillion). On the other hand, the main anticipated penalty for a default, the loss of the U.S. government’s AAA credit rating, may happen anyway, with a consequent rise in the interest rates paid by all Americans.

One could go on like this, discussing how the spending cuts will slow the already faltering U.S. recovery from the recession and keep the unemployment rate very high (over 9 per cent), but that is not really the point. It is that the Republicans have discovered a weapon, never envisaged by the constitution, that enables them to force the executive branch to submit on any issue whatever. Just refuse to raise the debt limit.

The weapon has been lying around since 1940, when the original law requiring Congressional authorisation for any increase in the national debt was passed, but it has never before been used as a weapon. Some clever politicians must have seen its potential in every decade since, but in more responsible times it was seen as illegitimate to employ such a threat to force the executive branch to submit.

Indeed, Congress has voted to raise the

debt limit 106 times since 1940, without ever trying to use it as a lever to bring the presidency to heel on other issues. But it is an immensely powerful weapon, particularly as the user does not even need to control both Houses of Congress. Since both Houses must approve the legislation, only one can block it.

It’s not clear whether the radical Tea Party faction in the Republican Party originally came up with the idea of refusing to raise the debt limit until the White House accepted its terms, but they certainly made the running after the Republican Congressional caucus adopted the strategy.

It was the Tea Party that forced John Boehner to drop the idea of agreeing to some tax increases alongside massive cuts in spending in order to bring the budget deficit under control. He is a fiscal conservative, but a sensible politician who understands that in any negotiation there has to be some give and take. The Tea Partiers just wanted take and not give, and they forced him to shift his position.

Then they got greedier, and several times made Boehner demand even more concessions from the White House, presumably in the hope of making the deal so unpalatable that Obama would reject it and allow the country to default. They were certainly ready to accept a default as the lesser evil, since they believed that the immense economic damage it caused would ultimately be blamed on Obama, and cause him to lose the 2012 election.

It must be acknowledged that Obama played his hand extraordinarily badly in all this. As one blogger put it, “Just let me get into a no-limits poker game with him. I’ll walk away a millionaire.”

It should also be recognised that Boehner was quite happy to let the ideological loonies on the far right of his party serve as an excuse for his obdurate stance in the negotiations with Obama. It worked a treat, and Obama basically gave him what he wanted. Or, to be more precise, everything that the mainstream Republicans wanted, although not everything that the Tea Partiers were demanding.

The implications were quite clear in the House vote on the debt limit deal on Monday; 174 Republicans voted for the deal, while only 66 (almost all from the Tea Party) opposed it. But the Democrats, outraged by how the cuts that Obama has agreed to (with no new taxes on the rich) will hurt poorer Americans, split right down the middle: 95 for the deal, and 95 against it.

It begins to look possible that Obama could lose the 2012 election. He may even face a battle to be re-nominated.

Letters to the editor

Where’s the customer service?

Dear Editor, I am writing this letter on behalf of an 86-year-old neighbour of mine. He recently went to England where he was born and hadn’t visited for 30 years. While he was there, he had numerous photographs taken with his family. These photos were eventually sent to him but he didn’t receive them. Why? Because they were sent back by Campbellford Post Office to England.

Correct postage was on the envelope, correct postal code, correct name, correct street but no box number, hence the return of 3,000 miles to sender.

After having spoken to Norwood PO and Hastings PO, I was told that they would have tried to contact the customer before sending the mail back.

I would like to know why this was not done in Campbellford? What is the problem with these employees? Is this a form of harassment to senior citizens? There is something wrong somewhere.

I also have experienced these problems, one being my car

Get facts straight

Dear Editor, Normally I ignore the type of foaming rants typified by H. Horwath’s Four cents is too much for the royals. However when the author encourages the readership to study British history, he or she would do well to follow the same advice.

There’s more to British history than is going to be unearthed in an Anglophobic Mel Gibson approach to it. The Acadian expulsion took place in the 1750s. The settlement of those loyal Americans displaced by the American Revolution took place almost a generation later. British officials of the 1750s could not possibly have anticipated the Loyalist migration of over two decades later, any more than they expected to lose that war. The Acadian expulsion and the settlement of Loyalists were two separate events. Canada’s success today is the result of many factors, and the Loyalist settlement of the late 18th century is an important one.

Canada is still a constitutional monarchy and we are the better for it.

In America: socialism or free enterprise?

By Rolly Ethier EMC Editorial - Tell me, if anyone can reasonably explain, why voters in the last United States presidential election decided to elect an unproven but dedicated Marxist Socialist and then expect him to solve the country’s debt crisis?

Barack Obama promised a new way to do business in Washington and he certainly has achieved his goal.

Eliminate the free-enterprise system in favour of an administration that believes only in substituting bigger government and spending more taxpayer money while offering less opportunity for small business or business of any kind for that matter. All the while, insisting he has all the answers to fix the fiscal mess because, after all, he’s a Harvard graduate of law.

I’ve been doing an extensive study of U.S.-style politics and it isn’t a pretty sight.

After undertaking research into the shadowy background of President Obama, it was easy to conclude that he is out to bring an exceptional country to its knees and replace it with a country that will be difficult to recognize. So why am I so concerned about what a bunch of progressive eggheads in Washington do to transform the U.S. into such a horrendous welfare state mess?

Whether we like it or not, what happens south of the border has a direct impact on the Canadian economy.

In case you doubt anything we talk about in this commentary, all of the facts presented can easily be authenticated by other media sources.

With the help of his media allies, Obama has done a reasonably good job of hiding his many associations with known communists and Weatherman terrorists like Bill Ayers because socialists don’t like to admit being anti-capitalists. They hide their past because even they realize most of the normal people out there understand that socialism hasn’t worked anywhere it has been tried.

Before you dismiss me as some kind of Glenn Beck clone, consider the following: Obama, who professed to the world that the U.S. will always remain one of Israel’s strongest allies, has time and again stood up for its deadly enemy, Palestine.

I find it difficult to understand how a man residing in the White House would even know someone as antiAmerican and destructive as William Ayers, who along with his wife, Bernadette Dohrn, and their comrades at the Weather Underground are proven cop-killers. And Obama doesn’t just know him personally—he’s a close friend with Ayers.

Obama attended the Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s black-liberation theology church for 15 years and didn’t have a problem with the minister’s rantings, including his hatred for the Jews. Wright subscribes to a theory that the Jews are working on an ethnic bomb that would kill only blacks and Arabs.

Obama’s ties to Palestinian radicalism goes back to his friendship with Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, a strong critic of Israel, a supporter of Palestinian terrorism and a former member of the PLO. Obama once delivered an in-person testimonial at a dinner for Khalidi which was complete with the usual anti-Israel speakers. But this didn’t seem to alarm the man who would become president of the U.S. Doesn’t this kind of background concern the average American who wants to preserve freedom and the freemarket system in their country?

Two of Obama’s closest allies are Andy Stern, head of the Service Employees International Union, second largest labour union in the U.S. and billionaire leftist George Soros, a man who wants to regulate the news media and make it possible for only socialist propaganda.

If Obama is a true American patriot, why does he surround himself with a bunch of Marxists and communists, all personally dedicated to reducing people’s individual rights and freedoms in favour of bigger government and far more regulations. Their goal—a socialist state, more spending and don’t lose any sleep over the deficit that threatens the savings of every hardworking American.

Every extreme Marxist, Communist and socialist (including most of the labour movement) in America endorsed Obama for president even though some of them don’t think the left-leaning Obama is socialist enough to suit them.

America has reached a crossroads. If Obama is rerelected to another four-year term, free enterprise is doomed, the U.S. will become just another socialist state like Greece to pave the way for China to become the world’s number one economic power.

Letters to the editor Thanks for the opportunity to debate Dear Editor, I want to offer my sincere thanks to your paper for publishing the medicinal marijuana grow-ops debate in your editorial pages the past few weeks. It has become exceedingly rare that the media accommodates dialogue and debate on topics beyond a 24-48 hour news cycle. By any standard, that is hardly enough time to elicit a cross section of public opinion on any issue.

With respect to the changes our Health Minister intends to introduce that will amend the regulations to medicinal marijuana grow-ops, you were gracious enough to print my experience and opinion on the matter together with those from a few opposing the government’s proposal.

I only wish the mainstream media could learn from your example. Open, honest and public debate on issues is decidedly something we could use more of in this country.

What we could and should dispense with in the course of any such debate is reducing the argument to something intensely personal. Visceral statements, incorporating wild, unfounded accusations and assumptions adds little to the discourse and would appear to be more a reflection of the character and objectivity of those levelling them, than that of their target.

I would invite any of your readers who may wish more information on the current deficiencies in the medicinal marijuana regulations and/or would like me to elaborate on why I support the government on their new proposal to visit my web site <www.michellesimson.ca> for my contact co-ordinates. I would be happy to respond to any questions/concerns they have on this issue.

Here are my comments as requested Dear Editor: Health Canada has requested comment on proposed changes to Canada’s Marihuana Medical Access Program by July 31, 2011.

To Whom It May Concern in Health Canada: Health Canada employees

appear breathtakingly naïve based on the changes proposed in their Consultation Document titled Proposed Changes to Health Canada’s Marihuana Medical Access Program. First, they should get the racism-inspired slang out of their document and

use the proper nomenclature: Cannabis.

I sent Health Canada’s Consultation Document to a friend and his reply below put it in a very observant and succinct nutshell.

“Sounds like they are taking something simple and

cheap and trying to find a way to let big industry make a lot of money at the expense of people that are sick and probably not well off. I wonder what Harper is getting in return?”

Health Canada can call what it is about to do “improvements” but those who know the truth about the value of this plant for medical patients are not gullible enough to swallow this propaganda. It is obviously directed by the Harper government. Anyone who has taken the time to educate themselves can go to Youtube and quickly determine where Stephen Harper stands on the issue: “Drugs are bad.”

That is Stephen’s mantra. He has said it so many times I am certain he believes it.

The medicinal value of the cannabis plant cannot be contested. Sixteen states in the United States of America have voted to legalize it for medical patients and many

more state governments are in the process of doing so because their federal government is so out of touch with reality. Therefore, Harper cannot make it illegal across the board and fill his new jails with offenders like George Bush did so successfully for eight years. Instead, with the assistance of Health Canada, Harper will make the sick and marginalized pay a lot more for lower-grade cannabis by handing the right to grow to corporations. Cannabis Culture magazine, published in Vancouver, recently reported that a staffer at Health Canada leaked information pointing to Monsanto, a company well known for happily producing Terminator Seeds and Agent Orange, as the seed supplier in this scenario.

Yes, Health Canada proved it was totally incompetent when it came to growing good medical cannabis for patients. Just ask patients who used government-issue, lowpotency, high-heavy-metal, high-e.coli, gamma-irradiated cannabis. Biker gangs are much better growers. But what did Health Canada expect when they contracted a grow-op for millions of

taxpayer dollars to grow in an abandoned mine in Flin Flon, Manitoba, 365 metres underground, far away from the Sun’s natural light where fresh breezes don’t blow?

Consultation Document?

It sounds good but we all know where this is going.

People who are in pain from illness will no longer be given the right to grow their own medicine or designate someone else to do it for them. Big business buddies of Harper will be given the exclusive right to grow and they will charge absurdly high prices for this medicine as all of the big pharmaceutical companies with monopolies always do. It is once again political collusion resulting in what amounts to legalized crime.

Canadians lose again.

The insanity branded “The War on Drugs” by Richard Nixon is fuelled by ignorance, outright lies and propaganda.

Unless someone with intelligence and integrity in Health Canada manages to change the direction of this misguided policy then sick Canadians will once again be victimized

by Harper and his cronies.

Body Condition SCore

8 Northwest EMC - Thursday, August 4, 2011

The first step in determining if your pet is overweight or obese is determining their body condition score (BCS). BCS is more valuable then their actual weight in pounds because of the variation between the different breeds of dogs and cats. BCS is an assessment that is made by eye and by touch. It is determined by the amount of fat that covers the ribs and over the back or spinal vertebrae. Veterinarians will either use a score out of 5 or out of 10. At CVS we use the score out of 5. This is one time in which you do not want a perfect score! Your pet’s ideal BCS is 3 out of 5! Try and determine your pet’s BCS and see how compares with that of a CVS staff member.

Score - Meaning - Description 1. EmaciatEd - Ribs, spinal vertebrae, pelvic bone and all bony prominences are visible. No palpable fat. Obvious absence of muscle mass.

2. thin - Ribs easily palpated and may be visible with no palpable fat.

Tops of spinal vertebrae visible. Pelvic bones less prominent. Obvious waist and abdominal tuck.

3. idEal - Ribs palpable without excess fat covering. Abdomen tucked up when viewed from side.

4. OvErwEight - General fleshy appearance. Ribs palpable with difficulty. Noticeable fat deposits over spinal vertebrae and tail base.

Abdominal tuck may be absent.

5. ObEsE - Large fat deposits over chest, spine and tail base. Waist and abdominal tuck absent. Fat deposits on neck and limbs. Abdomen distended.

A glimpse of history as home gets a facelift

By Sue Dickens

EMC Lifestyles - Warkworth - A home that at one time featured a “boomtown façade” had some of its history unveiled recently surprising the current owners who were having new siding put on during a facelift.

As the old siding was removed at the home of Carol and Ralph Switzer on the north side of Church Street lettering promoting a once thriving business was uncovered.

Part of the words “Tinsmithing and Plumbing” were uncovered and a bit of research by this writer determined it is the home where George Meiklejohn grew up.

“My dad [Clayton] moved to Warkworth after the war in 1919,” he said George is now retired.

He and his wife Doris live in Brighton by the Bay. He talked about his father buying a building and swapping with one owned by Sandy Mowatt.

“They just swapped buildings. There was quite a lot of talk about it at the time.

There was no paperwork,” he told EMC. His father ran a tinsmith shop there for years, moving out in 1947.

“He was a tinsmith and did plumbing, furnace work and eavestroughing and pump work. Those were hand pumps back then. As a tinsmith he made milk cans, milk pails, stove pipes, things like that,” said Meiklejohn.

“I worked for him for 18 years and took the business over in 1963,” he said. He had a home of his own on Main Street from which he operated his business.

“Dad used to use hand machines for tinsmithing.

You could spin them around and make a bottom for a pail.

When I took over a lot of farmers were just beginning to get electricity at their farms and wanted pumps, furnaces and bathrooms which kept the business going,” he added.

The current owners of the house, the Switzers have lived there for the past 48 years.

“We bought the house from Cecil Gummer,” Carol told EMC. “He had fixed up the building as a plumbing shop,” she said.

The “boomtown façade” was identified by Des Conacher who is the Trent Hills representative on the board of the East Northumberland Branch of The Architectural

Conservancy of Ontario (ACO).

A boomtown façade is when the front wall extends higher up than the rest of the building, to make it look larger than it really is.

The connection with George Meiklejohn was made possible thanks to the efforts of Jim Smooker, well known in the community for his knowledge of the town and its history. He and his wife Dorothy have been involved with the Warkworth-Percy Historical Society for years.

The Switzer home was successfully re-sided.

Derby car gets a paint job

EMC Events - Painting a derby car is one of the highlights of the children’s activity centre events at the fair. Once again, derby chair Dustin Ingram will be providing a car to be painted before he drives it in the demolition derby that takes place Sunday evening. Painting the car was a huge hit with the kids, creating a great deal of excitement for the derby. The “Cotton Candy Special” painted last year with a lot of pink, gave everyone something to talk about and look forward to seeing in the derby competition.

Turtles, wetland talk draws a crowd

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Havelock Talk about turtles and wetlands drew a crowd in Cordova Mines and Havelock last week with a visit by the Trent-Severn Waterway Wildlife program.

Heathyr Francis and Laura Coles, species at risk communications technicians, captivated their young audience showing off several models of turtles and snakes found along the 386-kilometre waterway.

Seven of Ontario’s eight turtle species are at risk or endangered of becoming extinct as are 11 of 16 snake species, says Francis, so visits like the ones they made to HBM are valuable teaching opportunities.

Tying together conversations about the species themselves and the wetlands that provide sustenance is extremely important, she adds.

“Most people know a few turtles but don’t know that they are endangered or becoming extinct,” she told the Northwest EMC. “All the species we have depend on wetlands at one point in their lives [but] wetlands are being developed, under-

valued and often destroyed.

We educate visitors on whey they are important and illustrate some of the species that live in wetlands.”

While they visit communities along the waterway, the

program also does outreach in Toronto and also takes its travelling trailer to festivals and other events “where many people are surprised that we have any snakes or turtles.

“We’re very interested in hearing about the turtles people find and their stories,” Francis said.

“We strongly encourage people to participate in these and commit to reporting. Not only is it interesting for you to take note of what’s around you and realize that these same species are repeatedly visiting your area, but it really helps scientists get that information which is sometimes difficult because you can’t be everywhere.

“Having a lot of people on the ground doing that kind of research really helps.”

and community centres to day camps and festivals,” Francis said.

“The kids are often more interested [than adults] and know a lot more than their parents do because they’re exposed to it at school,” she said.

“Talking to kids about this is very important. They’re interacting with these things and they’re interested and if you get them interested at an early age that often carries through later in life.”

Francis and Coles strongly encourage people to report turtle and snake sightings to their Waterway Wildlife program, the Toronto Zoo’s Turtle Tally and Frog Watch programs.

Fire and Rescue sponsor Fair Ambassador hopeful

By Bill Freeman

EMC Lifestyles - Westwood - For Tia Neilson the Norwood Fair is all about atmosphere and sheer enjoyment.

“It has a great atmosphere and it’s not difficult to find anything that you will enjoy.

It’s just fun,” said the 18-yearold Norwood District High School graduate who will represent the Asphodel-Norwood Fire and Rescue Department in the Norwood Fair Ambassador’s competition for the second straight year.

“It’s going to be different so I’ll be a lot less nervous,” Tia says of this year’s event.

Tia will be at Trent University this year where she will study English and Psychology with the long-term goal of going overseas to Kyrgyzstan where she says she would like to teach.

She was very active in life at NDHS participating in things like the historical fashion show, the prom

Like all veteran fairgoers, Tia says the Thanksgiving weekend event gives her a chance to hang out with friends. She wants to try and

spend as much time with them as she can before heading back to university.

Part of the joy of attending the fair is “running into everybody you know in the community.

EMC Lifestyles - Hastings A year in the planning and the second annual Hastings Founder’s Week is ready for launching.

“It’s an amazing amount of effort and community coming together,” says Skye Morrison, a member of the Founder’s Week committee and author of the event’s Hastings Homecoming reenactment which kicks things off Saturday afternoon on the north shore of the Trent River.

“People are really enthusiastic about the added content and also some of the things that were part of last year’s event,” Morrison told the Northwest EMC during a day at the Hastings Village Market where committee members were selling calendars, T-shirts, post cards and tickets to the August 6 “Dance the Night Away” soirée at the Riverside Pavilion.

“On the whole we’ve had a fantastic response and I like the fact that most of the events are free. The greatest part of it is for the community and visitors. It’s an enhancement for the village,” says Morrison a folklorist, author and textile scholar who’s heavily involved in the August 12 fibre festival at the Hastings Civic Centre.

The dance, with tickets at $35 per couple or $20 each, is the only paid event. The Slow Food Northumberland din-

ner, another paid event, has been postponed until later in the year.

“The committee has met faithfully every two weeks and a lot of ideas have come from this,” she said.

Last year’s inaugural event was an unqualified success even though it was put together on a “less than shoestring budget.”

This year, the committee has received a Celebrate Ontario grant which Morrison says has eased some of the difficulties and allowed them to promote the event in a professional way and made it possible to invite noted aboriginal storyteller Aaron Bell to the August 10 children’s day at Trinity United Church.

Another helpful element are the partnerships that have united groups in town. The Hastings Historical Society, the Hastings Public Library, The Royal Canadian Legion and the Hastings Seniors are key partners.

The committee is combining a “Pig Poetry” contest dedicated to the larger-thanlife spirit of Hastings’ poet laureate, “Big Al” Scriver, with the Legion’s annual pork barbeque on August 5.

“The partnerships have worked well,” Morrison says.

“It’s really nice to feel there’s community support for what we’re doing.”

“It’s a lot of good input and discussion,” she says of work-

ing with other groups in the village.

The opening day re-enactment also features a performance by the Bowmanville Pipe Band. The dance later that evening will recall the days when the Riverside Pavilion was a busy dance hall and the social centre of the region.

“We’re really trying to promote the revival of the pavilion,” said Morrison.

This year’s re-enactment will be “much richer” with a much larger cast and chorus, she added.

The August 12 fibre festival will feature a supplier’s marketplace, demonstrations of community textile arts like knitting, rug hooking, embroidery, spinning, weaving and quilting and talks by quilter Alice Williams of Curve Lake; artists Dorothy Caldwell of Hastings and Campbellford’s Maureen Harding of Dreamspin Fibres.

Other events include an open house at the Hastings Historical Society August 8 (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), an antique auction August 9 at the pavilion; August 10, Children’s Day featuring Aaron Bell and a tour of the Redtail Paddle Company from 1 to 3 p.m.; walking tours August 11 and a children’s fishing day August 13.

Everyone had an opportunity to participate

“It’s an event that is kind of just for fun,” said Young.

More action began midmorning on the Trent as young and old signed up for some of the six water events that day.

“We had a total of 52 competitors and six events,” said organizer Carol Robertson who was kept on her toes all day making sure everything ran smoothly.

“I had a lot of help from twelve volunteers,” she told EMC. Each event had several categories include Junior (ages 6-10), Intermediate (ages 11-15); Senior (ages 16-39); and Adult (40 plus).

“We get tremendous help from the few volunteers we have. It’s really hard to get people and it’s so labour intensive … we are always looking for help,” she said.

For Robertson, who has

“We go camping at Ferris Park and the cardboard races looked like a lot of fun,” said John as he helped the girls build their cardboard boat for the races later that day.

Samantha Pyke and her sister, Kayla, and their friend Kasey Hislop all decided to participate in “everything but the cardboard boat races.”

“I’m doing this because I think it’s going to be fun and I’m excited,” said Kayla.

From the bellyflop contest to the tube races, kayak races and more, the events gave anyone wanting to participate the opportunity to compete.

Marina attendants are also topflight ambassadors EMC News - Hastings They help dock 50-foot boats, guide people to walking trails and sing the praises of local shopping.

Courtney Campbell and Kayla Beamish, veteran attendants at the Hastings Village Marina, do that and much more as they welcome guests from across the globe to the 64-slip, fully serviced marina that has transformed the south shore of the Trent River in the village.

“They love Hastings,” Courtney says of boating visitors. “Everything is packed together and they don’t have to go far. You can walk all around. We have surveys they fill out and they just love it here. They love the cleanliness of the showers and washrooms. They also have the beach where they can cool off.”

The lifelong Hastings resident is heading into her final year of animation studies at Loyalist College and she is proud of the village and has watched the waterfront evolve into a magnificent destination that also includes a newly expanded sand beach and gateway to the Trans Canada Trail.

“It is quite different.

It’s gorgeous,” she told the Northwest EMC. “It shows that they want to improve the town; they want to make it better for people and to bring more tourism.”

This is Courtney’s second summer at the marina.

“The first year was quite awesome; I didn’t know much about boats but now I’m an expert,” she says laughing.

“I really want to try boating now.”

The biggest vessel they’ve docked was 60-footer but

Tenth anniversary for Doors Open Peterborough

By Bill Freeman

EMC Lifestyles - Peterborough - Doors Open Peterborough celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and to mark the occasion the organizing committee has unveiled a new logo it says “captures the vibrant spirit of Peterborough.”

The committee is part of the Peterborough Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (PACAC) and is preparing for the September 24 event with much excitement.

The new logo was designed

by Malcolm Goodwin of Goodwin Designs and draws on the “iconic” Market Hall for its inspiration.

The letters “DO” stand for Doors Open but also “urge citizens to be active, to get out and tour participating sites.”

This year’s Doors Open theme is “Peterborough – the Participation City: A History of Sports in Peterborough.”

“It is fitting that our beloved Market Hall should be part of the heritage being celebrated by the Doors Open Peterborough Committee with this new logo,” Peterborough Mayor Daryl Bennett said during the unveiling.

“The citizens of Peterborough have shown tremendous support for the restoration and renewal of Market Hall and this is one more link between our storied past and a bright future.”

“Market Hall is a symbol of Peterborough’s heritage as much as our city is known for its long history of participation in sporting activities,” says the city’s heritage resources co-ordinator Erik Hanson.

More than 200 sports figures have been inducted into the Peterborough and District Sports Hall of Fame and Hanson says Doors Open 2011 will “celebrate this rich history of sports and recreation in Peterborough.”

The Doors Open program across Ontario seeks to “celebrate, educate and inform citizens and visitors of the importance of architectural,

cultural and historical sites,” organizers say.

Guided tours, displays and activities are all part of the experience.

Starting in 2002 with free tours at 20 diverse historic sites, Doors Open Peterborough has become a “mustsee” event each autumn.

Doors Open began in Europe in 1990; Toronto was the first North American city to host the concept in 2000.

Peterborough is considered a founding partner in Doors Open across Ontario, joining in the first year of the province-wide programme and continuing every year since, says Hanson.

Various themes have tied the event together over the years. In 2005, an Anniversary Fair highlighted clubs and organizations celebrating significant milestones during Peterborough’s centennial year. Sometimes, sites were clustered in geographic zones as in 2007 when Trent University buildings along London Street were featured, or in 2009, when sites in East City-Ashburnham were available to the public.

This year, several sports organizations and clubs will be featured including detailed facility tours at both the Memorial Centre and the Trent University Athletic Centre.

Free shuttle buses will loop around the city bringing visitors to site locations.

Guided and self-guided walking tours will take place on both Saturday and Sunday. Details are available on the web site <www.doorsopenpeterborough.ca>.

Locations and organizations taking part are: Peterborough Memorial Centre and vicinity, Sports Hall of Fame, Peterborough Petes and Lakers, figure skating, Kawartha Gymnastics; Quaker Tennis Club; Peterborough Pagans Rugby Club; Canadian Canoe Museum; Trent University Athletic Centre; Disc Golf Association at Riverview Park and Zoo and Peterborough Lawn Bowling Club.

they can accommodate boats of up to 70 feet.

The biggest bit of knowledge they carry with them is never take your boat out on a windy day.

“That’s the big one,” she said.

Docking a 30-foot boat in high wind can be a challenge, she admits.

“Sometimes the wind catches them and pulls them back.”

But most boaters are experienced behind the wheel and difficulties are easily handled between the captain and Courtney Campbell and Kayla Beamish are spending a second summer as attendants at the Hastings Courtney and Kayla.

Cancer survivor hopes to inspire support for Trent Hills Relay for Life EMC News - Campbellford - Cancer survivor El Petherick plans on participating in the Trent Hills Relay for Life again this fall and join others in raising money to battle this number one killer.

His story has a happy ending and he hopes by telling it that he will inspire others to join in the fight against this often deadly disease. In July 2003 he detected what he thought was a tumour and by August had started treatment.

He had been diagnosed with a seminoma type of testicular cancer and learned that the cancer had metastasized in his lungs with several nodules or lesions and was thought to have possibly reached his liver.

“When my doctor said you are going to have a tough go but it is curable … well the word curable had a positive impact right away,” Petherick told EMC. He, like everyone else, was well aware of the angst that the “C” word can create.

“Certainly I am aware that having had cancer, that there is an increased chance of cancer reoccurring sometime in my lifetime and some of the chemo drugs are carcinogenic enough in nature to require regular checkups to ensure cancer hasn’t returned,” he said.

Petherick has learned to live with that knowledge and he does continue to see his doctor. The impact of the cancer on his daily life is something he will never forget.

He remembers the low level of energy he had during treatment and how his tastebuds were adversely affected by the drugs he had to take.

“I would find that a short walk to the road to pick up the paper, or climbing a flight of stairs was tiring.

I needed to sit down for longer periods of time,” he said of the period following his surgery. He tried

Correction The McMillan family of Kingsway Farms (not the Rotary Club of Campbellford) provided the hamburgers, condiments and drinks at no charge as well as a cook to prepare and serve at their first-ever-on-farm cattle auction held recently asking instead for donations to the Olivia McKloskey Fund. Gord and Pauline McMillan approached club treasurer Ron Peters and asked for Rotary’s approval and support in the form of posters and photos. We apologize for the error. “All thanks should be bestowed on the McMillan Family for this very generous gesture,” Peters told EMC.

to keep busy through it all though to “keep my mind off the cancer”.

“This ordeal with cancer has probably brought my family even closer together.

I received tremendous support and encouragement from them … My wife, Joy, was always there and stayed in Toronto with me at the lodge for the weeklong treatments,” said Petherick.

“I had tremendous support from family, relatives, staff, neighbours and friends, which helped immensely,” he said.

“I found a sense of humour can make people more comfortable and at ease and reduce tension in my job and in social situations, so found it helped greatly during this ordeal,” he added.

With the Relay for Life gearing up for its four year of fund raising, the fairgrounds remain the chosen site.

other.

The fair board has always had a team in the

event and this year his wife Joy, daughter Christine and son Danny will be on that team. Cara Owens is the organizer of this year’s team of ten.

In the past, because of his many professional commitments, Petherick has been able to participate only in the Survivor’s Victory Lap. “When I look back at it, the very first one, I remember thinking there’s some young people here and you think wow, I am one of the lucky ones,” he told EMC. Petherick was 53 when diagnosed.

“It’s so very important they get the cure for this dreaded disease. It touches the life of every family one way or another,” he said.

Trent Hills Relay for Life takes place September 9 and Petherick is looking forward to being this year’s master of ceremonies.

“It is a community event. You will see people who you didn’t know have

cancer. When you see the number of survivors it gives you hope,” he said.

For Petherick his ordeal has shown him “that it isn’t worth it to sweat the small stuff.”

He encourages people to gather up a team and take part in the relay or “just come out and show support for people participating”.

The official kickoff took place earlier this year with Co-Chairs Darlene Brown and Dave MacDougall.

The luminaries are a highlight of the relay and are dedicated to remember and honour loved ones or friends who have experienced cancer. The luminaries are lit during a ceremony at dusk.

Registration for the Relay for Life is accepted online at <http://www. cancer.ca/Ontario.aspx?sc_ lang=en> or by phoning the Peterborough office of the Cancer Society at 705742-3823 or 1-800-4630432.

“It’s going to be a tighter show and it’s going to be a really tough competition which makes the label judges very happy,” says Jennifer Goheen of the Havelock Country Jamboree who is a key architect of this year’s show, formerly known as the Ontario Country Music Showdown. It’s being organized by the Jamboree this year with over $40,000 in prizes up for grabs with the proceeds from the show going to Campbellford Memorial Hospital.

With a twist on previous entry rules performers have had to submit original songs and not covers. This year’s panel is a made up of record label, studio representatives and musicians which is something the Showdown committee had been working toward; the Jamboree’s involvement has made that a reality.

Goheen says there will be 15 competitors rather than 21 but is astounded by the quality.

“With the level of prizes and judges the bands are hesitant this year but the level of performers we’re getting is outstanding,” she said. “We’re really getting high-quality, high-end bands but I think

that having the original tunes has shaken some people up.

“The number of responses has been less than expected but the quality has been excellent. I think it’s going to be a really great show.”

The reputation of the Ontario Country Showdown is a remarkable one, says Goheen, whose background is rock music.

“I hadn’t been involved in the talent show. The surprise I had was how well it was known across Ontario. This is its ninth year. People know all about that show all over the place.”

While requiring bands to submit original tunes might have deterred some, the payoff in the end is much bigger,

Goheen says.

“In country once you start to write original tunes you get some type of representation because there is such a strong hunger for country music,” she said.

This also made it tough for Idol organizers “because the minute you’re signed by a lawyer or booking agent they’re not eligible.”

“We’ll have to loosen the rules next year as to what they’re signed to, as long as they’re not label-signed,” Goheen said. “It’s a learning curve. With the 15 bands we have they’re all tough for the judges.

“Where else can you go and play in front of three record labels? That exposure could take you a life-

time to get and that was the goal, to help them get what they needed to help them go.”

First prize is valued at over $20,000 and includes a performance spot at the Havelock Country Jamboree, a three-day studio session with engineering at Iguana Recording, a CD or ten-song mastering with Wreckhouse, a photo shoot with Marko Photo, a full press kit and a web site.

Second prize is valued at over $12,000 with the third-place finishers receiving a package valued at over $7,000.

Judges include Mike Denny, owner-president of MDM Recording Inc., an independent Canadian re-

cord-distribution-management and consulting company; Ton Tarleton, director of label services form EMI Music Canada; Vic Branco, president of Iguana Recording Studios; Nick Meiniema, booking agent with the Agency Group which works with musicians like Jason Blaine, Jason McCoy, Doc Walker, Corb Lund, Michelle Wright and Dean Brody; Christian Tanna, founder of the band I Mother Earth and general manager of The Venue in Peterborough and highly respected local musician Ken Tizzard.

Las Vegas booking agent and musician Darrin Goheen will work with the contestants on stage presence.

Expect plenty of musical surprises at Jamboree “They really have a feel for their audience; they really know what works.”

Gretchen Wilson who electrified the Jamboree with her Saturday night headline gig was once a member of Mustang Sally.

Goheen says Sawyer Brown, on stage Saturday “is going to surprise a lot of people.

“The energy behind their show is fantastic.”

The veteran, best-selling band hasn’t appeared in Canada in recent years so Jamboree fans are in for a treat, Goheen says.

Billy Currington, with six number one hits, a duet with Shania Twain and heavy radio play with 2010 chart-toppers Pretty Good at Drinkin’ Beer and Let Me Down Easy will delight the audience on Friday night.

“Everyone loves him,” says Goheen. “He is going to be a favourite. He has that classic sound and he’s singing songs that can relate to everybody.

He’s really down to earth.”

“It’s such a good lineup.

Such a different lineup,” Goheen said.

Mustang Sally will rock the 22nd Havelock Country Jamboree for the third straight year. The Jamboree favourites will hit the stage on Thursday.

and musicians who don’t always grab the headlines.

Mustang Sally, unknown until they hit the Jamboree stage three years ago, now has a solid and increasingly strong Canadian following.

Last year they performed twice, the late-night Satur-

day slot and the closing show Sunday afternoon.

“Their big Canadian break was here,” says Jennifer Goheen the Jamboree’s public relations and communications quarterback.

Thursday’s kickoff features Shenandoah, Mustang Sally, The Guess Who, Ladies of the Canyon and Hey Romeo.

Along with Reid, Currington and Banks on Friday are Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan, Deric Ruttan, Shooter Jennings and The Good Brothers.

Joining McBride, Hunter, Sawyer Brown and Fathead are Joe Nichols, Chad Brownlee, Melanie Morgan and the Toasted Western Swing Band.

“You can’t help but move when they play,” says Goheen. “You put their CD on and you can’t help but move; your body just reacts.

“I think they’re going to be a surprise, too, for the audience that hasn’t been exposed to them.”

New CAO welcomed by ORCA

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Peterborough - The Otonabee Region Conservation Authority has officially welcomed its new chief administrative officer/ secretary-treasurer.

Allan Seabrooke, a Trent University graduate with 25 years experience in the private sector and with provincial ministries and agencies, joined the conservation authority at the end of July replacing Dick Hunter who retired this past winter.

The conservation authority’s watershed region encompasses 1,951 square kilometres across eight municipalities and three major river basins, Otonabee, Indian and Ouse Rivers.

“I will enjoy working with the staff and the board of Otonabee Conservation to advance conservation in the watershed community,” Seabrooke said.

The hiring was part of the authority’s comprehensive governance and operational review.

“The board’s renewed commitment to provide conservation programs and services based on the principles of transparency, co-operation and accountability with an emphasis on customer service and public engagement will be key to moving forward,” Seabrooke said following his appointment.

The selection committee included ORCA chair Terry Low of Asphodel-Norwood and fellow directors Daryl

Bennett and Jack Doris, representing the City of Peterborough and vice chair Sherry Senis and Andy Mitchell of Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield.

“The engagement of Allan Seabrooke as the CAO of ORCA is a very progressive move, one that will be appreciated further as we continue to move forward with the conservation needs of this region,” said Bennett, the mayor of Peterborough.

“Allan brings with him a broad base of experiences. His educational background and business experience coupled with his local knowledge made him a logical choice,” he added.

The new CAO has an extensive experience in strategic leadership, excellence and innovation in project management and relationship building having worked directly with municipalities, the private sector, provincial ministries and agencies for over 25 years, says ORCA communications manager Kathy Reid.

He has a Master of Science degree in environmental studies from Trent University and an executive management certificate from Queen’s University; he also has an Accredited Municipal Clerk Treasurer (A.M.C.T.) designation from the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario.

Most recently, Seabrooke was the principal of A.K. Seabrooke Management Consulting, specializing in strate-

gic planning and professional development services, and provided executive recruitment in collaboration with Wood Sloan Consulting.

“We are committed to improving the way we deliver conservation programs and the way we demonstrate value and accountability to our municipal partners and the watershed community as a whole,” Low said in reference to the board’s governance and operational review.

“It is clear to the directors that this organization must make fundamental changes in the way we conduct business in order to effectively meet the needs of our clients in the programs and services,” he said.

“The board is determined to improve the level of co-operation between our organization and individual municipalities and to eliminate any duplication between ORCA processes and those included in municipal planning processes.”

To do this, he says ORCA will negotiate a memorandum of understanding with each member municipality.

They plan to have those in place by January 2012.

“The report will provide our new CAO with clear direction, expectations and the flexibility to move the conservation authority forward,” Low said.

“The end result of this process will be to streamline procedures and create a defined road map for all parties

“We have certainly been working toward this for a long time and the township needs it so bad,” she said.

Smith echoed Gerow’s words about the high number of seniors living in HBM, estimated at 65 per cent.

Smith visited the site of the proposed facility to the south of the village off Old Norwood Road shortly after Reeve Ron Gerow made a very public long-termcare bed application to local MPP Jeff Leal.

move for long-term-care.”

In many cases they were cut off from family and friends who couldn’t visit them in faraway places, she added.

“I used to visit a special school teacher and I used to feel bad that her friends couldn’t come to visit. This will be so nice to have this right in our own little town.”

The 128-bed two-storey home would be built by AON Inc. and would be similar to ones they’ve built and operate in Tweed and Millbrook. AON senior vice president Tim Harrold says the $13- to $14-million facility could be built and opened in one year.

It would create 135 fulland part-time jobs and 300,000 labour hours during construction.

“Our preference is to hire locally and work with the community suppliers and partners,” said Harrold.

“As a smaller organization, AON is prepared to move fast and we are prepared to go at any time.”

The facility would have two self-contained residential home areas (RHA) on each floor. The ground floor would contain two RHA’s capable of providing specialized dementia care.

The balance of the home would be regular, longstay beds but could also provide convalescent care for shorter term placements.

“We hope to have a dialogue with the LHIN and Access Centre on any special services we can provide,” said Harrold.”

Flyballers rock the Coliseum in Norwood

By Bill Freeman

EMC Events - Norwood The fastest dogs this side of super hero comic books rocked the Brethen Coliseum in Norwood over the weekend.

The annual Hot Diggity Dogs flyball tourney touched down at the Norwood Fairgrounds with 34 teams from around Ontario and New York State hitting the 51-foot-long rubber track for two days of high-performance fun.

The soaring price of gas cut numbers down this year, organizer Natalie Cornell said.

Last year’s high of 43 teams was a “bit of an anomaly,” Cornell told the Northwest EMC. “Gas prices are up again and that hurt,” she said. Still, having a smaller field made things easy to manage for the Frankford-area club which has hosted a tourney in Norwood for several years.

There were new teams involved, Cornell said, drawn by the event’s reputation and the

fairground site in Norwood.

“They want to see what everyone’s talking about.

They hear so much about Norwood.”

Hot Diggity Dogs has been a regular part of the Norwood Fair with its very popular demonstrations which Cor-

nell says helps recruit recruit new members. This summer the club is doing its first-ever demo at the Peterborough Exhibition.

“They saw us at the Norwood Fair.”

Cornell has been a flyballer for 12 years and finds it every bit as exciting as it was when she saw her first flyball race.

“It’s the teamwork,” she says. “It’s unlike some other dog sports where you work one-on-one with your dog in the activity. This is you, your dog and five other people so it’s a whole team effort and the dog is definitely part of the team.”

Over the weekend she was competing with a new dog and Cornell admitted to some rookie jitters.

“You do feel a bit like a rookie when you bring a new dog in; you don’t know what to expect. You trust your experience to make it an easy learning curve. But you can’t coach yourself, you need coaching.”

“It’s always nice to see other clubs bring new dogs

on. You’re always watching to see who’s got the next superstar.”

The club takes a break in December and January but starts up again in February.

It offers a six-week beginner class in the fall led by experienced handlers.

If they like the sport, Cornell says, it usually takes around three months before the handler and dog are ready for a competition.

“It’s a learning process, they’re part of the club and we bring them on slowly.”

The key is not to get frustrated.

“Don’t give up. Your dog will learn. We take baby steps with the dogs. We don’t want them to do anything they’re not ready to do because that’s frustrating.”

But when it all comes together its sheer joy, she says.

The best of the best can cover the 102 feet (51 feet down, coming to a full stop to grab the ball then racing back) in 3.7 seconds.

“Don’t blink,” Cornell chuckles.

“Blood Signal” campaign comes to town EMC Lifestyles - Norwood The “Blood Signal” campaign came to Norwood last weekend, a clear statement by the Canadian Blood Services that there was a pressing need for more blood.

“We’re running way behind,” clinic supervisor Cheryl Unger told the Northwest EMC. Unger said in the CBS’s central Ontario region they were down 1,500 units. A single unit of blood can save four lives. Holiday summer weekends are particularly important occasions to donate blood, Unger says, noting that many more people are travelling on the roads which means accidents can increase.

It also means that some regular CBS donors are on holiday and not able to visit clinics.

As part of the CBS “Rally Together to Save Lives” campaign the organization designed the “Blood Signal” symbol. The icon was designed to “connect Canadians socially and emotionally to the idea of giving blood.”

The Blood Signal symbol

is used during times of increased need throughout the year and as a “rallying cry for communities to come together” to save lives.

CBS has created a <bloodsignal.ca> “microsite” and Facebook page to illustrate how many lives can be saved if people make blood donations.

As of the writing of this article, 103,965 people had visited the page; if every one of those visitors made a blood donation, 20,793 cancer patients and 12,995 individuals could be saved; they could also save 2,079 car crash victims. It’s estimated that about one in two Canadians can give blood but only one in 60 does.

That needs to change, says Unger and the Norwood Lions and Lioness which have hosted the Norwood Town Hall clinics the past ten years.

“Canada’s blood donors are among the most generous in the world but the challenge is that we continue to rely on too few of them,” says Tony Steed, director of marketing and recruitment for the CBS. The “Rally Together to

Save Lives” campaign is focused on “motivating current and potential blood donors to think and act collectively [and] asks Canadians to rally their community, family and friends to donate blood.”

The CBS wants to increase its active donor base to 500,000 and recruit 100,000 new donors each year across Canada by 2015.

The Norwood clinic is a rallying site, says Lions Club member Earl Oliver. While clinic visits have fluctuated over the years, Oliver says they’ve averaged around 47 units since around 2007.

“For a small community that’s pretty amazing,” Oliver said sending out a “big sincere thanks” to all donors for “taking it seriously and realizing that it’s necessary.

“We have a lot of repeat donors and we’re getting a new one or two each clinic,” Oliver said. “These people realize that to save people’s lives you need to be here.

“These are the people who think about it and do something about it.”

Antique tractors pull hard for child amputees

By Bill Freeman

EMC Events - South Dummer - The roar of rebuilt tractor engines is music to Evan Calder’s ears.

One of the hosts and now veteran competitor of the Andy Calder Antique Tractor Pull at his family’s farm north of Norwood, Evan is also a direct beneficiary of the War Amps CHAMPS program which the tractor pull has supported for the past 11 years. During those 11 years, the tractor pull has raised over $21,000 for the CHAMPS program. Saturday’s gathering drew at least 80 tractors and hundreds of spectators.

“It’s good that you can say you raised that for something,” Evan told the Northwest EMC as he got geared up for another round of good-natured competition

against the “old-timers.”

“It says that everyone can come together for a good cause and make it happen,” he said of the $21,000. His mother Denise agrees.

“It’s amazing,” she said both of the money donated and the fact that the event was celebrating an 11th anniversary and now draws over 80 competitors from around eastern Ontario and Ottawa.

“It’s just really community-orientated. Everyone likes to visit,” Denise said.

“As long as the weather is good everything’s good.”

Just once in the 11 years have they had to reschedule because of rain.

“A lot of people like donating to the War Amps. It’s tremendous but again that’s all community support. It means we live in a great

community.”

The first tractor pull attracted 32 competitors. This year, 32 had arrived by Thursday.

“The crowd says it’s one of the very best shows and that makes us feel good,” Denise says.

“The first year we didn’t realize anything so we didn’t have an admission. This year, I was surprised by the number of phone calls we had ahead of time. We don’t usually get phone calls.

“People are definitely talking about it.”

Evan is definitely one of the “young ’uns” but he doesn’t mind that one bit.

“You’ve got to have a good sense of humour. You can’t be too serious. I beat them so that must mean something,” he says laughing.

20 Northwest EMC - Thursday, August 4, 2011

EMC Events - Campbellford - The Northumberland Holstein Show has been a highlight event of the Campbellford Fair for many years, kicking off the fair weekend on Friday night in the arena.

“We can expect approximately 20 exhibitors from Northumberland County who will exhibit 120 entries before Judge John Buckley from Lindsay,” said El Petherick, past president of the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society and East Central director for Holstein Ontario.

“The show can boast a large number of high quality entries that makes this show one of the best in the

province,” he told EMC. Many entries from the show at Campbellford Fair go on to be successful and very competitive at other

provincial shows.

As well several animals from the Campbellford show, over the past several years, have gone on to exhibit at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.

In fact several animals exhibited at the Northumberland show have been so successful that they have received All Ontario and All Canadian nominations and awards.

Kingsway Holsteins owned by Gord and Pauline McMillan and family of nearby Hastings, has won Premier Breeder and Exhibitor for the past few years.

They can expect strong competition from Claircrest Holsteins, Campbellford; Webb View, Roseneath; Combhaven, Castleton; Trentward, Hastings; Grillsdale, Campbellford; and Almerson Farms, Campbellford, said Petherick.

“The Northumberland County Holstein show attracts many visitors from across the province eager to view the high quality show,” he said.

The show will be held on Friday, August 5, starting at 6 p.m.

Saints end Champs season

By Bill Freeman

EMC Sports - The Norwood Champs Bar and Grill James Gang won’t be going to the Ontario Lacrosse Association Senior B final for a second straight year. The first place James Gang had their OLA season snuffed out by the defensively improved St. Catharines Saints 8 - 5 Saturday night at the Bill Burgoyne Arena.

Last year, Norwood lost by two goals in the fifth and deciding game of the Levack Cup final to threetime OLA champion Owen Sound. They hoped 2011 would end with a berth in the President’s Cup. But the Saints, led by OLA scoring champ Jason Henhawk and former St.

Catharines Athletics junior goaltending sensation Zach Bowen, wrote a different ending for the Champs who will return to Norwood next season for another crack at a title in the extremely competitive Sr. B league.

The win gave St. Catharines a 3 - 1 series triumph and a nice revival for senior lacrosse in Niagara where the MSL Athletics once ruled until moving to Kitchener in 2006.

It was also a nice turnaround for the Saints who forfeited their first four wins of the season because of a paperwork error and barely squeezed into the play-offs.

The team that faced Norwood was not the same team Champs hammered 18

- 8 and 9 - 3 earlier in the season.

St. Catharines’ 10 - 4 game-three win over the James Gang was Norwood’s first loss in two years at the Asphodel-Norwood Centre.

“They’ve got some pro players on that team and their goalie played well,” Champs coach Jim Johnston told the Northwest EMC. The Saints also stepped it up on defence containing the penetrating offence of players like Aaron Grayson, Justin Kulla, Josh Wasson and Matt Evans. That was a look Norwood, nursing some injuries, didn’t see earlier in the season.

“Their defence is stronger,” Johnston said. “They boxed, they kept in tight,

and they didn’t let our guys in to shoot where they are comfortable. It’s hard to beat that.”

Team ball movement and speed were Norwood hallmarks all season but at crucial moments against the Saints there were lapses and a little too much one-onone play.

“You can’t do that. We haven’t done that all year.”

Norwood came out flying scoring twice in the first two minutes with Chad and Matt Evans pulling the trigger. St. Catharines rallied but Mike McNamara gave them a 3 - 2 lead with 1.8 seconds left.

The teams were tied 5 - 5 after the second but an early shorthanded goal by

Norwood Saints player Gavin Barrie tries to slip behind St. Catharines defender Dylan Llord during OLA Sr. B semi-final action. The fifthplace Saints stunned the first-place James Gang with a 3 - 1 series win. Photo: Bill Freeman

Geoff McNulty turned out to be the winner. Henhawk was a force again scoring three times for the Saints.

Norwood pressed hard outshooting the Saints 53 - 38.

“We plan to be in Norwood again next year and hope that both the sponsorship and fan base will increase,” business manager Dave Foster says.

“There was a lot of great lacrosse action this year and we plan to continue and get better in 2012.”

EMC Sports - Norwood Every play for the Dream Catchers is like Joe Carter’s famous World Series winning home run. A group of youngsters with special needs have been making J.J. Stewart Field in Norwood their own personal Rogers Centre every Tuesday evening for the past four summers.

The smiles, high fives and good-natured teasing say it all: challenges will not stand in the way of one of the great Canadian past-times, playing a little tee-ball.

“It’s so much fun to see them tease each other, they’re just regular kids,” Dream Catcher organizer Mireille McArthur said while kids of all ages and their buddies hustled around the bases.

“It’s fun to see them joking around. It’s great to see these friendships too.”

McArthur was inspired by the successful Dream Catchers league in North Dakota and took the plunge four years ago so youngsters like her sports-loving son Chase could enjoy some outdoor summer ball and feel part of a team environment.

On average ten to 12 youngsters and their families along with volunteer “buddies” flock to Norwood each week; McArthur says as many as 15 have shown up depending on the week. There are more volunteers this year which means parents can just sit back and enjoy themselves as spectators.

They travel from as far away as Lakefield, Buckhorn and Curve Lake.

“It’s been nice not having to worry about pulling the parents out unless they want to,” McArthur said.

“They look forward to it every year,” she says, noting that it is important to stick to their Tuesday evening schedule something Norwood Minor Softball has helped them maintain.

“Routine and schedule is so important for these kids.”

Chase loves baseball and for the first time the entire McArthur family took in Blue Jays games making it a Father’s Day event.

“But Dream Catchers is his passion. Every Tuesday

child with special needs you just tend to focus on your own family. So for me it’s been enlightening; it’s been a learning experience and an eye-opener. It’s good for me to see the other families engaged.”

“There are kids out there who would not normally get a chance to play team sports,” says Anita Flynn whose son Mitchell revels in Dream Catchers.

“You can just see the smiles on their faces and you just know they’re having a blast. It’s also a social event for the families of children with special needs.

It’s an amazing experience for these kids.”

“It gets kids out like Cole who can’t play in regular ball games and belong to something,” says Illona Bennett.

“They connect with people and with the buddies which is really nice.”

Ram Rodeo triples attendance at Trudeau Park

By Scott Pettigrew

EMC Lifestyles - Tweed The Ram Rodeo is in only the second year but Casey and Sherry Trudeau, owners of Trudeau Park, both agreed that the Rodeo has at least tripled in attendance.

“Overall it has been a great year. We have had excellent weather and the trailers have been coming in since the beginning of the week,” said Sherry.

Sherry went on to say that the Dean Brody concert of Saturday night was sold out and she said they had well over 2,000 people for that show. When asked what she attributes this year’s success to Sherry said, “We are surrounded by our friends and family who help out and this makes a huge difference and we thank them.”

Sherry added that the rodeo is run by a combination of paid staff and volunteers but that many people come out of the goodness of their hearts to help out.

As was the case last year, the Tweed Hungerford Agricultural Society attended the gate and parked people collecting the fee for the vehicle entry.

“Collecting the parking fee is very appreciated by the Agricultural Society,” said Agricultural Society President Sylvia Dunham.

Casey and Sherry are both very proud of the fact they support local business and again this year the vendors at the rodeo consisted of mainly local merchants.

Asked about making a profit this year, Casey Trudeau said they won’t really know until about one week after the event but they anticipate they will make something this year.

“This year we have added a number of new things like Steve Gordon from Roslin who is offering people a horse-drawn wagon ride, a reptile zoo and we expanded the campground and added

more bleachers. From what I have been told the number of people attending the show on Saturday evening was one of the

top attendances of the rodeo tour so far this year.”

Casey said he estimates the park saw approximately 10,000 people pass

through the gates over the weekend.

“When I came through the gate of Trudeau Park I couldn’t believe how well

organized everything was,” said Tweed Municipal Councillor Don DeGenova who was in attendance for Sunday’s

Earlier in the year Casey asked council to donate money to the kids zone and they refused.

The EMC asked Council-

next year. I understand that this is a private sector event, but so many of us benefit from this event and I will back the rodeo at council.”

Having Reid and McBride headlining Friday and Saturday has created a definite buzz, she says.

“We’re getting a lot of new weekend sales this year.”

And many of those new visitors are from the east coast and eastern United States. Goheen says they have stepped up their marketing into the border states and it’s paying off.

“We really went into New Brunswick, Québec and Maine. That’s been our main focus to spread out that way and it’s done quite well for us.”

She says the Jamboree is pleased with ticket sales noting the “heck of a hit” the economy has taken. Industry wide, the music business has felt the impact.

“You’re always trying to grow [but] the economy took one heck of a hit and the impact on the consumer always comes in three years later.”

But music is always a great de-stresser, Goheen says, and Jamboree fans are in the right place when they travel to Havelock.

The RV-pulling music fan is the key Jamboree market, Goheen says, and they are seeing more “early bird” visitors than ever so they are working with Kawartha Tourism and organizations like OLG Slots to make sure

there’s plenty to do before the music starts.

“That’s really what our show’s built for,” she said.

“That’s who we want to draw which is why we have a more classical, relaxed style country show for them.”

“We’re selling more reserved packages which mean more people are here earlier and that’s been our goal.”

The biggest change to the grounds this year is the building of the new Vendor’s Mini Mall.

“We’ve taken down the vendor’s tent; we’ve cleared out the entire area and built it up. It’s absolutely beautiful,” she says.

On that site there will be a licensed restaurant and “a bunch of new and unique vendors all outdoors and under their own tents.

“We had a hard time getting people to go in the vendor tents. They just didn’t want to go in there.

We made that change based on their request. We pulled

Lorrie Morgan

the tent down, put in lighting and hydro and extended that.”

“The vendors area is going to be the only [different] thing visitors might notice this year.”

An enormous amount of work was done last year and some of that is ongoing, Goheen added.

“I love the excitement around the show. When people start coming in I really get moving,” she said.

“Reading what the Jamboree means to people is what fuels us. We all have that personal attachment.

It’s almost a sense of family.”

Groups like the 1st Havelock Scouts get a big boost from the Jamboree by gathering up recyclables and keeping the grounds clean.

“As much as it benefits us it benefits them too.”

Reality Check: EMC Lifestyles - For those of you who are blessed with a marriage partner, I’m sure that on the day of your wedding you could have completed this sentence: “My wife will …” Want me three times a day? Scrub the toilets? Stay home with the kids? Believe I’m the greatest? Or maybe it’s “My husband will …” always do the dishes. Bring home the bacon. Love my mom.

We all have preconceived notions entering marriage.

It’s as if, during that wedding ceremony, we don’t just slide on wedding rings, but we also put on tinted glasses, coloured by the expectations we place on each other.

When your wife inevitably doesn’t conform to your

The curse of great expectations

expectations, though, you likely don’t chuck your glasses. You’re far more likely to pout, “What is her major malfunction?” You know the way the world should work; she’s obviously wrong by not jumping on the bandwagon.

We tend to compartmentalize each other, expecting that we will stick to already established patterns. We may start out in marriage expecting our spouses to be wonderful; but when they fail, we start to expect the worst. He’s the one who’s lazy and doesn’t know what a mop is for. She’s the one who’s the drill sergeant and doesn’t let anybody have fun at home. He’s a workaholic.

She’s a shopaholic. We can all too easily pigeon-hole our

spouses into categories that we don’t like.

What happens if your spouse wants to fly out of that hole and change? You don’t necessarily notice.

Recently I was talking with a woman whose marriage was falling apart. She rattled off a litany of complaints about her husband’s lack of ability to communicate. But as her story unfolded, I found myself sympathizing with the maligned spouse. To me, it sounded like he was trying to change their communication dynamic by asking clarification questions, like, “So you think I’m being too rigid about our schedule?”

She thought he was just being smart, saying not, “Let me understand what you are

The Good Earth:

Dan Clost EMC Lifestyles - The “scientific name” of the Colorado potato beetle (CFB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata, can be more or less translated as “the ten-striped bug with the really thin leg tips and it is on my potatoes, right now.”

Kids love to spot this wee fella. Those ten black stripes on a fairly large back (ten millimetres long) are unusual and, to young eyes, attractive.

Not as beautiful as a monarch or swallowtail caterpillar, or even a tomato hornworm caterpillar but still they are an exciting find; in the eyes of the person who planted several rows or several acres of potatoes the excitement is not as pleasurable.

We tend to call them potato beetles because that is where we see them, on our potatoes.

These chappies will chow down on just about any plant with the moniker Solanum, be it S. tuberosum, S. lycopersicum or S.melongena, potato, tomato, eggplant respectively.

In the Solanum world we are familiar with a plant called nightshade, aka deadly nightshade, but there are quite a few of these weeds spread out across most of the world. The CPBs are probably from southwestern portions of North America, notably

Cannifton garage

Mexico, where they lived a hard-scrabble life trying to find sufficient food and quite a bit later, Colorado. This bug had a lot of names, but when a botanist saw them in Colorado an erroneous assumption was made.

I know that potatoes are grown in areas amounting to almost eight million square miles in North America and about six million or so in Asia, China and Iran. I know that because the CPB’s found in all those places. Wait a minute, Iran? According to the stats, yes Iran but not Newfoundland. They can migrate up to 85 miles a year.

The CPB is relatively easy to spot in all stages of its life, except in cold weather when it is snoozing happily down in the soil. Eggs are yellow clusters found on the bottom side of Solanum leaves; larval stages, at least what you will see, look like a big reddish orange lady bug, no wings and a row of four black spots along the lower part of each side.

Adults burrow down into the soil when cold weather arrives, emerging in the spring.

They pop out and onto host plants where their days are a happy time of eating and mating. Many a home gar-

cold arrives.

A strong infestation of potato beetles can seriously reduce harvest’s bounty. For those of us with a plant or two in the backyard, this is not a huge issue. Farmers, on the other hand are having a tough time with the critters because they very quickly develop resistance to pesticides.

New pesticides, rotating pesticides, electrical fields to disrupt flight, trenches around the edge of the field lined in black plastic (walkers slide in but can’t get out and they get cooked by the sun) blowtorches (really), vacuums (really, really), sacrifice crops, cover crops, a predator wasp and planting different crops are all strategies in play.

What can we do in our little patches? Well, squishing is effective. When you are squishing, look under the leaves for the yellow egg masses and squish them. When you first see the larva crawling about, insecticidal soaps and even some Bt. strains are effective at this time. The most effective cultural control is to not grow potatoes or eggplants annually and to clean

up weedy hedgerows where nightshade might be growing. Adults will emerge but there will be no food. If they can, they will go away.

If they can’t, they will die.

Next year grow your potatoes, and by the time the later generations find your tubers (well after flowering time) they will be too late to reduce your harvest by any significant amount. Pay close

attention to your tomato plants at this time.

By the way, wintering CPBs burrow down about ten centimetres only; that could explain their scarcity in Newfoundland, aka The Rock.

Sox +2; enjoying the lessened humidity but still too warm to actively explore garbage cans, outdoor composters, etc.

you. When she speaks, listen to her words, and pretend it’s a stranger who was saying it. Would you bristle if a stranger asked, “How was your day?” Of course not! If a stranger started discussing how busy your schedule was, you’d analyze it, not assume you were being led down a guilt trip. If you could talk peacefully about something with a stranger, then why not try to do so with your spouse?

Maybe in your relationships you need a reset button, a way to go back to the beginning without all the petty hurts and counterproductive patterns you’ve developed. Don’t expect her to be hurtful. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Your loved

dener notices these voracious feeders, but since there appear to be so few of them, not much energy is spent in worry. A few of the buggies get squished and a well satisfied gardener makes a successful entry into the plant diary that evening. About a week later (four to ten days depending upon latitude) an “OMG” is sent heavenward in anguished tones. Some of you saltier GRs aim your exclamations a bit lower. It is possible that a single female can leave behind up to 500 eggs: in our area, somewhere between 50 and 200 is a more probable season count. All stages of this critter eat Solanum stuff, mostly your potatoes and—if you did plant tomatoes and eggplants near by—tomatoes and eggplants.

A very interesting fact is that these bugs like to walk to their food, when they’re young. It is usually the second or third generation that takes wing. The last generation, which can be the second or third generation in some colder parts, don’t fly, they hang around home and go to ground (literally) when the

Whatever he tried, though, she interpreted it in a negative light. It was her loss.

Here was a man who was ready to build a new marriage, and she just wouldn’t see it.

Maybe it’s time you chucked your tinted glasses, too. Don’t read between the lines. Don’t try to finish each other’s sentences. Don’t assume that if she goes up to bed early it’s because she’s trying to avoid you; maybe she’s hoping you’ll follow her. Don’t assume that if he’s quiet it means he’s mad at

TRAVEL

Exploring Vancouver’s Stanley Park via two wheels EMC Lifestyles - Cycling is a great way to get around Vancouver, and on my recent visit, I discovered a new bike company, “City Cycling Tours,” that loves to show off this destination in this way.

I toured Vancouver’s Stanley Park with company founder Josh Bloomfield and his business cohort, Dan Hayes. These two young men love to cycle, so this year they decided to open up a cycling tour company right here in their favourite cycling city.

As Josh told me, “riding is the best way to see Vancouver, and we like cycling here so much that we decided to do it for a living!”

These business entrepreneurs now lead groups of visitors on daily explorations of Vancouver, including about a threehour morning tour of Stanley Park ($49) and a more-than-four-hour afternoon ride that includes not only the park but also Granville Island, Gastown, and Chinatown ($75). City Cycling Tours also offers guided family rides, rainforest mountain bike experiences, custom tours, and team building events for corporate groups. Josh told me, “We’ve even made an arrangement with the Fairmont Waterfront <www.fairmont.

com/waterfront>, and we lead some of their guests on fitness rides.” This hotel is promoting a “Get Fit Vancouver-Style with the Fairmont Waterfront,” and it’s offering such fitness opportunities as cycling, seawall running, and rooftop yoga.

My particular tour began right at the entrance to Stanley Park, at “Spokes Bicycle Rentals” <www. s p o k e s b i c y c l e r e n t a l s. com>. City Cycling Tours uses this rental company’s bikes, locks, and helmets on their guided tours, and this is the very place where I met my guides. I discovered it was really busy here, for the company has about 800 bikes for rent, and they’re often all in use during the summer. Many would even be returned and re-rented more than once on the same day. Yes, cycling Stanley Park is very popular—and many visitors to Vancouver would simply rent a bike here and explore the park on their own. The advantage of having a guide is, of course, that one doesn’t have to worry about getting lost—and one learns about the history and highlights of the park while cycling along.

My guides and I had planned to ride the seawall that circumnavigates this beautiful park. However,

it was a cool, wet morning for our ride, so we actually did part of the seawall and then headed into the park’s interior. Riding on dirt trails in the rainforest itself offered some protection from the rain—and it also gave me an opportunity to explore yet another part of this magnificent park.

As we rode, I wanted to find out more about these two young men who had decided to start this new business venture. I learned that Dan Hayes was actually from the Toronto area, and his long-distance cycling trips had taken him to such destinations as the Yukon and Alaska. When he found out where I was from, he told me that he’d been to this area, too, and he had fond memories of “a nice little bike shop in Bloomfield” (Bloomfield Bicycle Company).

Josh Bloomfield, the company founder, found it rather interesting that his last name was the same as the place Dan and I were talking about. He told me that he had worked in such exotic places as Japan, Brazil, and Cambodia, and that one of his favourite cycling expeditions had been a solo ride from Cambodia to Tibet, which “gave me a deep appreciation of the kindness of strangers—as well as western toilets!”

We visited many of the points of interest within Stanley Park, including Siwash Rock, Prospect Point, Lost Lagoon, Beaver Lake, Hallelujah Point, and English Bay. We saw a series of smiling face statues, several monuments, including Lord Stanley, Queen Victoria, Harry Jerome, Pauline Johnson, and Girl in a Wetsuit, the Air India Memorial, the Air Force

Cycling through the rainforest in the park’s interior.

Stanley Park’s famous totem poles.

Garden of Remembrance, Deadman Island, the Coast Salish Gateways, and, of course, the renowned totem poles at Brockton Point. We even visited a heron sanctuary, where I found a plethora of nests, high in the trees, above the park’s tennis courts.

After completing our ride, we dried off and warmed up with some hot chocolate. Later that day, I even returned to this fascinating park on my own— to dine at the Teahouse Restaurant—and to visit the not-to-be-missed Vancouver Aquarium which is Canada’s largest.

By John M. Smith

While in Vancouver, I stayed right in the heart of the downtown core, at the Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, <www.wedgewoodhotel.com>, and I met Philip Meyers for a drink. He’s the hotel’s general manager and an avid cyclist. When he finds the time, Philip enjoys escorting guests on cycling tours of the city. He’s also designed some self-guided hiking and cycling routes, which are available for guests. Furthermore, he heads the Wedgewood Cycling Club and organizes cycling events in support of the BC Cancer Foundation.

Vancouver has drafted a plan to try to become the “Greenest City in the World” by 2020, and the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition (VACC), through advocacy, education and events, is trying to do its part to help make this dream come true. We can do our part, when visiting this beautiful city, by exploring it via two wheels.

As Josh said to me, cycling provides “a big adventure with very little environmental impact.”

Truck Show gears up for day of driver appreciation EMC Lifestyles - Warkworth - Unsung heroes of the highways, professional truck drivers are getting the respect they deserve once again at the 21st anniversary of the Warkworth Truck Show & Shine.

The day-long event is not just about chrome and horsepower it is also about driver appreciation.

To acknowledge the importance of drivers there is a beef barbeque and “It’s free to all drivers and their families,” said co-chair Bill Newman, who took over as an organizer of the show about ten years ago.

Newman, who has been driving for 33 years, works for ASL Distribution Services out of Oakville, one of the major corporate sponsors.

“Even if you don’t have

a truck there just show us you are a driver and you can enjoy the free barbeque,” he told EMC. Local beef and corn will be featured.

There are approximately 20 different classes in the one-day competition which attracts truckers from not only Peterborough, Belleville, Trenton and Bobcaygeon but from as far away as Toronto, Port Perry, Port Hope and Oshawa.

“We’ve kind of changed the format a little bit this year,” said Newman.

Since the truck show is a non-profit event its success depends on sponsors and donations.

As is the case every year if there is any money left over it is donated to other worthwhile causes, but instead of spending money on trophies, “We are going to

be giving cash prizes to the drivers,” he added.

For the second year the show will feature a heavy tow truck class which is sponsored by Steve Stapley and Sons 24 Hour Towing of Campbellford.

“The tow trucks are judged in the same way as big trucks … their lights, chrome, shine, paint, and overall appearance and mechanical side of things,” said Newman.

At last year’s show six tow trucks were entered coming from as far away as Toronto as well as from nearby Lakefield, Port Hope and Cobourg.

“We had a pretty good go last year for our first run in the tow truck class,” said Bryce Stapley. Since the company sponsors the event the Stapleys don’t compete.

Another change this year

Appreciating drivers is what the Warkworth Truck Show and Shine is all about say co-chairs, from left, Chris Wilson and Bill Newman.

to rev up interest among the drivers is a different kind of prize to those who win the special class.

“We call these the best of

and it covers ten different makes of trucks from Kenworths to Peterbilts,” said Newman.

jackets this year so the winners will receive a $60 jacket with the words ‘best of class’ written on it,” he explained.

A panel of six judges, who remain anonymous, is onsite for the show and includes retired truck drivers and retired mechanics.

The truck show has attracted a great deal of interest over the years and built a name for itself as a well run “family” event.

It has attracted the likes of Charlie Tackaberry Junior of Tackaberry & Sons Construction Ltd. of Athens.

“This will be close to five years that he has been coming to our show,” said Newman. “He has top-notch equipment and restored older vehicles and he usually brings four or five to our show.”

Begun as an event to bring more people to the Warkworth Fair, the show began with one or two trucks and has grown steadily over the years as the organizers “mix it up and add new prizes,” each year.

“Interest in last ten years has remained strong,” said Newman.

“Our record is 40 trucks and that is a good number for us for a one-day show,” he added.

Co-Chair Chris Wilson who has been driving for 37 years for Young Transportation out of Mississauga told EMC that “the show is a great way to meet other drivers and for families to get together and have a good time.”

The biggest challenge to having a successful truck show, both co-chairs agree, is the cost.

“That is why our three major sponsors are so important,” said Newman.

The third major sponsor is Newman Oliver McCarten Insurance of Campbellford.

Entry to the show is the gate fee to the Percy Agricultural Society fair (Warkworth Fair) which is held at the fairgrounds September 9, 10 and 11.

Adult tickets are $8 and children Grade 8 and under are free.

The truck show on Sunday is a big part of the fair weekend.
