EMC News - Tweed Near the beginning of every council meeting in Tweed, after the minutes have been adopted by council, there is discussion about the accounts. At some council meetings this is done fairly quickly, but at the meeting of July 26, a number of items came into question. Councillor Don DeGenova asked about a bill from Jewell Engineering for $4,554.14 for something called “Roads-Engineering and Archaeology.” Alan Broek is the roads superintendent for Tweed and could not come up with an explanation as to what kind of archaeology Jewell might be doing. There was speculation that a bridge they have been working on may have historical significance but Broek said they would have to ask for an explanation from Jewell. Councillor Don DeGenova asked for an explanation as to why the municipality was charged $610.56 for removal of cardboard by Dave Moore and Sons Environmental. Councillor DeGenova said he had a hard time believing that the removal of cardboard would not be included in the contract with the company as part of the recycling package. It was explained to DeGenova that this was not part of the contract and DeGenova said he would like to see this change. Deputy-reeve Bryan Treanor wanted to know why the arena cost $486.74 for
the month of May for a Hydro One bill when the arena is not in use. The bill was broken down into something called “ArenaMay Usage” for $345.70 and “Arena Plant-May Usage” for $141.05. CAO Patti Bergeron said she would look into the matter. In other news from the Tweed council meeting Reeve Joanne Albert commented on the George Canyon concert recently held at Trudeau Park. “I went to the concert at Trudeau Park and I am very impressed with how well Casey Trudeau organized the event and I feel he did a great job of making the concert very enjoyable.” In the Roads Superintendent’s report Alan Broek said that during the dry spell the new sod on River Street turned brown but that it is guaranteed and will be replaced if necessary. Deputy-reeve Treanor then spoke up and said he felt that a warning light should be installed at the cross walk on River Street letting people coming over the hill know to slow down especially in light of the fact that residents of Moira Place use the cross walk. Superintendent Broek said he would look into installing a new light. Councillor Justin Bray asked Broek if it would be possible to schedule street cleaning just before the Elvis Festival and it was agreed this would happen.

proximately 1,500 people at this year’s which is the most they have had in the seven years they have put on the jamboree. Howard Bonner has been emceeing the show for the last four years and said, “I have watched this festival
and it has grown tremendously in the four years I have been here and by the look of it, with the amount of units they have, it is approaching the Renfrew Valley Blue Grass Festival in popularity.” When asked where the
profits from the festival go, Flinton Recreation Club President Duane Thibault said, “Most of the profit will go toward paying for the cover on the rink and a lot goes to children’s programs like swimming, baseball and other recreational pro-
grams.” Duane said they still owe another $60,000 on the rink roof. According to Duane last year’s profit was approximately $18,000 and this year they expect to at least reach that if not exceed Please see “Another” on page 3

it, “There are always unforeseen expenses but this has been a good year.” Donna Thibault, Duane’s wife, also plays a key role in organizing the festival and said they have already booked half their bands for next year and they already have a large number of reservations for camping already. Duane added that one of the new things this year they decided to do for a fund raiser is they sold tickets on a four-wheeler and Duane said that by noon on Saturday they had already paid for the bike and were making a profit. The ATV was won by Lorne Killam. Donna added, “We want to thank all the volunteers for all the hard work; it would not be possible without the volunteers. It takes about a week to set up the event which is planned as soon as this one ends. We want to thank the municipality for the use of the ball field for the whole week as well.”

Pumped storage project gets a boost from a local group EMC News - Marmora Since beginning the exercise group known as the Silver Foxes back in 2005, a group of Marmora women have been keeping fit and at the same time, supporting a number of area charities and organizations. Every Monday and Thursday morning, year round, members head to the Community Centre for some low-impact exercise, contributing a toonie each time they attend. Over the years, this has amounted to donations in excess of $6,000 in donations to more than a dozen groups and organizations, including in part the Marmora Medical Centre, Campbellford

EMC News - Madoc Stirling resident Vernon Molloy approached council Wednesday night to ask for support from the municipality in joining other municipalities with a say in the CETA negotiations. CETA is a complex and very large free trade agreement covering all aspects of trade and economic development. It will have significant implications for municipalities and municipal governance. For the first time, provinces are at the table and have signalled in advance their willingness to be bound by the final deal. Several municipalities, school boards and municipal associations have raised concerns about CETA’s procurement chapter. They want to see the municipal sector excluded entirely from the deal. “We need to convince more municipalities and school board to do the same,” stated Molloy. “The resolution will ask for senior Canadian governments to become more forthcoming and transparent regarding the ramifications of this trade agreement on small farmers and other stake holders.” Molloy presented council with a document entitled “Protect our Municipalities” written by a coalition of Northumberland residents op-

posed to Canada-European Union Free Trade Agreement (CETA). An eighth round of CETA talks took place in Brussels this July 11 to 15. It’s been called a “critical” round by Canada’s lead negotiator because finally provincial-territorial offers on procurement, services and investment will be exchanged and bargained away! If CETA is signed it will: • Threaten our democracy by putting corporate rights first • Encourage privatization of Canada’s drinking water and wastewater services • Threaten local job creation and “buy-local” policies • Cause prescription drug costs to skyrocket by at least $2.8 billion per year • Allow big corporations to ignore or challenge environmental regulation “We are asking that you give this your consideration and pass the resolution before you. We feel it is not only right that municipalities have a bigger say in the CETA negotiations. It should be mandatory today when municipal governments are increasingly important to the Canadian economy, the delivery of services, and the quality of life of our communities.” Centre Hastings Council passed the resolution before them with a 4 - 1 vote.

Fraser thanked the Silver Foxes for the donation, stressed the importance to Marmora and Lake represented by the pumped storage project itself, and spoke of the positive aspects of backing made by this and other local groups, “to get this project going.” He mentioned that neighbouring municipalities as well as the County of Hastings, MPP Leona Dombrowsky, and the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, which represents an area of Ontario stretching from Lindsay to the Quebec border, had all indicated their support as well.

Municipal spending and accountability the focus of discussion weeds in Stoco Lake drifting to the opposite shore from Tweed and Reeve Albert said, “When you are out in a boat on Stoco you have to stop a number of times just to clean the weeds out of the motor. This is where they are coming from; boaters who have to untangle them.” Deputy-reeve Treanor said he has had people contact him and ask whether it is the harvester that is causing the weeds to float across the lake
and said he had one Stoco Lake resident contact him who has already removed a half-ton of weeds from the shoreline. Councillors suggested people call the Ministry of Environment for an explanation. Tweed Council will send a letter of support to the Municipality of Marmora and Lake supporting the Marmora Pumped Storage Project.

Here are my comments as requested cal 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
Tobacco control efforts By Gail Paquette
EMC News - Madoc - In Belleville, Quinte West and Prince Edward County have adopted the bylaw of prohibiting smoking with in 25 metres of all playground and playing fields where children and families gather. The Health Unit of Hastings and Prince Edward County asked Centre Hastings at Wednesday night’s council meeting to adopt a similar bylaw. “Overall tobacco free outdoor spaces bylaws demonstrate a community’s commitment to the health and well being of its members,” stated Tobacco Control 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADONEW SUPERCAB 2010 RWD
FORD F-150
Manager Roberto Almeida. The enforcement of this tobacco free outdoor space bylaw will begin as self-enforcing and after a predetermined time will be enforced through letters of non-compliance or fines. Benefits of such a bylaw include preventing youth from starting to use tobacco, protect the enviroment from cigarette butts (a major source of litter) and promotes smokers to quit by removing visual cues. The goal of creating a tobacco free culture relies on the consistent messaging to all community members confirms Almeida.

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.

At the end of the council meeting council was caught off-guard by a question from Penny McGuire of Queensborough who asked council why questions from the public are not included in the minutes of the meetings. The explanation came from CAO Bergeron who said that council is not required to include the questions and it is only the business discussed by council that is required to be included in the minutes. McGuire said that whether it is required or not, she would very much like the public to have a chance to see what is discussed at the end of each meeting.

Editor’s note: Okay folks. It’s time for a break from the Medical Marihuana Access debate. So what else is bugging you?
352378
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 medi-
sion about the disrepair the bleachers at the fair grounds and Reeve Albert expressed concerns about their safety. At the previous council meeting Rene Houle from Actinolite expressed concerns about a neighbour’s septic system leaking and affecting his water. Deputy-reeve Treanor said that the Chief Building Inspector Don Reid has been out to inspect and found nothing wrong. He also said the MOE has been out to the site on a number of occasions and has also found nothing wrong. CAO Patti Bergeron said she said will be researching past documentation to make sure that all permits were in place.

said he got a call from residents of Vanderwater Road saying that they felt they were short-changed when the municipality spread calcium chloride on the road but Broek explained that in fact they went back and put extra on that road because it was at the end of their run and they used up what they had left on the truck.

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 of-
CHURCHES

fice 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

wasteful use of non-renewable resources. As we run out of oil, with foot to the floor, what will our children and grandchildren replace it with? It takes energy to make the next generation to replace our current sources with. Will there be enough left or the time to make the switch, as we head down the freeway with blinders on.

Dear Editor, It is that time of year when we again pay our taxes and if you are anything like myself, you expect your tax dollars to be spent wisely. So you be the judge if indeed this is the case. Our Public Works Superintendent submits mileage claims for travel expenses for the use of his vehicle while performing his official duties in the Municipality of Centre Hastings. The position of PWS is a yearly contract position where his contract states that mileage will be paid at a rate of 52 cents a kilometre while performing his duties in the
municipality. It is also clear that mileage will only be paid for travel with his truck in the municipality. This contract also states that Mr. Taylor will also be paid a flat rate of $330 per month for the vehicle plus the 52 cents per kilometre. The vouchers that were approved in the July council meeting consisted of a three-month period of travel expenses for Mr. Taylor in the amount of $2,672.20 which equates to $890.73 per month (vehicle expense only). If Mr. Taylor is using his vehicle to do municipal business in Belleville or Campbellford, council and the
HERE!
CAO should be cognizant of the fact that his contract relates solely to mileage accumulated within the municipality. Who is checking! It is more than interesting to note that Schedule B sec. 11.2 of the Personnel Policy states: “The public works superintendent shall be provided with a township owned vehicle for the performance of his duties.” If the council wishes to be consistent with its policies, a good place to start would be to read them and then implement them as they are written. Remember, it was the previous council who set up this peculiar arrangement and this council is not obligated to perpetuate the mistakes. The final straw on this issue is that Mr. Taylor is allowed to drive his unmarked truck while performing his duties in the municipality. Residents of the municipality would not know of his presence in their community as he retains the right to travel and work in secrecy. By doing so, every resident is denied the opportunity to engage him in his workplace to discuss township business or important transit issues. So, do you think the municipality is spending your money wisely? Ron Fabian, Madoc 352584

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 we want, and Gwynne Dyer what the 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.
Letter to the editor
My favourite pumped storage tidbit
Dear Editor, During my breaks from today’s wife and mommy household chores and authoring my next and hopefully final episode too long to publish as a letter to the editor, I thought I’d share with my fellow “unsupportive un-citizens” of the village proper in which I live, one of my very favourite tidbits published about the so-called “Marmora” Pumped Storage Project, to date! This tidbit is a Northland Power-approved/published quote by John Brace, President of Northland Power, as was displayed within their June 10, 2011, press release: this downloadable MS Word 97 - 2003 Doc ~32KB on disk, publicly available online (at the moment I started writing this letter) from the Municipality of Marmora and Lake administrations’ official web site online page
Letters policy The EMC welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. All letters must be signed and include the name of the writer’s community. Unsigned letters will not be published. The editor reserves the right to reject letters or
edit for clarity, brevity, good taste and accuracy, and to prevent libel. Please keep letters to 600 words or less.

titled “Marmora Pumped Storage Project”). Note this press release is dated the same day that the local “public info” meeting was held when “the people” of this municipality first benefited from public disclosure of this project proposal, i.e: “the people” had never heard anything about it prior to June 10, 2011. Here’s the press release quote from Mr. Brace: “Northland Power is very excited to have the support of the people of Marmora and Lake for the Marmora Pumped Storage project.” Hmm … they “have” it the same day of the press release and “public info meeting,” eh? Duh. Why this municipality’s council approved this “negative” document’s inclusion on their Supportive Only Allowed webpage and not my commentary is indicative of what’s really up and going down? Insanity is repeating the same thing/mistake over and over and expecting different results/reactions? Smile, fellow un-citizenized Marmorites; their turn on candid camera now.

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.

CLWA supports Marmora Pumped Storage Project
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 Author-
ity. 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 Mar-
mora 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. Fi-
nally, 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 Stor-
age 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. Executive Board CLWA
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. Michelle Simson, Hastings
Get your facts straight 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. P. Johnson, Frankford

Body Condition SCore
8 Northeast 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.
Tasty and healthy summer food demonstration By Scott Pettigrew
Tweed - Summertime cooking has the potential to become unhealthy with the North American tradition of devouring burgers, hot dogs and frozen desserts. In heat waves like the one we’ve been experiencing lately, no one wants to be in the kitchen sweating over a stove or oven, when they can be cooling down in the water or enjoying a breeze in the comfort of a shady tree (or powerful air-conditioner!). This can lead many people to opt for quick convenience foods that are often too high in salt, fat and sugar. Health Promoter Doug Stevenson and Nutritionist Jessica Donaldson showed Tweed residents that there are many ways to make summer cooking healthy, cool, fast and delicious during a free cooking demonstration at the Tweed Valu Mart on Friday, July 22, with food generously donated by the grocery store. The pair served up “BB Burgers” (black bean and beef burgers), pesto pasta, and watermelon salad, emphasizing the importance of a variety of fruits and vegetables and lowsodium, low-fat meals. Eating habits that include these healthy diet principles help keep you well hydrated and cool in the summer, in addition to reducing the risks of cancer, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Food safety was another topic discussed at the cooking demonstration. With summer picnics, camping and all the grilling going on, there can be many cases of food-borne illnesses. “It is important to kill bacteria and prevent contamination of
other foods,” said Jessica. “Washing produce, keeping meats separate, keeping cold foods cold and hot foods hot, and using a food thermometer for cooking, all help to decrease the risk.” Food thermometers are inexpensive to purchase and easy to use, and Gateway staff demonstrated how to use them at the food demo.

planning to be active for less than an hour. Sports drinks are appropriate for adults and children who plan to exercise consistently for one hour or more as these types of beverages replace fluid, sodium, potassium, and calories that are lost through excessive perspiration. Sports drinks also contain simple carbohydrates to provide energy and can cause weight gain if used excessively and without need.” For more information on Gateway Community Health Centre and its programs and services, please call 613-478-1211.

Summer is also a time when folks need to pay close attention to proper hydration to keep healthy. While fluid consumption is critical in the heat, it is also important to take in the right kinds. Jessica continued, “Juice and pop are high in sugar, which slows absorption of fluids into the body. They are also very high in calories and may promote weight gain. If you’re not a fan of drinking plain water all day, mix it up by eating a whole piece of fruit; not only does whole fruit supply nutrients like Vitamin C and fibre that juices tend to lack, but it assists with hydration because the majority of fruit is water. Avoid drinking alcohol, coffee, and tea in excess. These fluids tend to pull water from the body and actually promote dehydration.” Health Promoter Doug Stevenson added, “If you’re exercising, water is all you need if you’re

Annual skate park competition draws a crowd to the park By Gail Paquette
EMC Sports - Madoc Over 70 competitors wowed spectators at the 6th annual skate park competition Saturday. Flips, tailspins and 360s were performed under blue skies with temperatures soaring into the 30s. Skateboarders, in-line skaters and BMX bikers filled the park and organizers Candice Bovard and Shannon Burke were thrilled with the turnout.
Competitors received prizes ranging from onhelmet-cams to skateboards, T-shirts and hats. They came from miles around to compete. Joe Pelow, 21, from Kingston, was excited with his first-place win in the over 17 skateboard competition. Starting years ago on the “street scene” Pelow has travelled and competed in many parks in eastern Ontario. “I’ve been coming here since the first competition, six

Lake clearly benefits from weed harvesting

machine can handle about 3.5 tons of weed at a time. The hydraulics and blades are all from standard agricultural components making maintenance and repair economical. Bio-degradable hydraulic fluid is used (made from vegetable oil) in case of spillage and the crew must adhere
to all ministries rules and specifications. Weed cutting for public areas is carried out under an operating permit and measures are taken for the preservation of fish and lake creatures. Small fish go straight through the conveyor links back into the lake without
harm while larger specimens are carefully taken off the conveyor by net. Turtles and endangered species are recorded. The harvester supports the improvement of the pickerel spawning grounds around Deer Creek, the Narrows and Pitts Creek and therefore supplements the new initiatives to create and recreate additional spawning in Moira Lake by other groups. Weed harvesting is not allowed until after fish spawning on July 1 each year and the machine alternates between Moira and Stoco lakes every two weeks up to September. The final cuts remove dying vegetation which would otherwise create fertilizer for the following year’s weed growth. Private weed harvesting does not come under the MNR permit and is limited to 100 square yards per property, the nominal amount to get boats out into clear water and for recreational swimming. Property owners pay a fee for this work if they want their weeds cut. Since the machine has been operating in 2008, not only has the municipality not had to pay private contractors but the machine has produced a surplus of over $2,700. This year the income has already exceeded $4,000 with orders still being re-
ceived. Weeds are dumped at pre-arranged locations; allowed to dry for about 48 hours then collected by the municipality and taken to the landfill site. There, the weed is available to all taxpayers free of charge. It makes great compost. Lately, there have been discussions about abandoning the weed harvester as it is a “commercial
undertaking.” There has been criticism levied that the municipality should not be involved in what some believe to be a commercial undertaking. Municipalities operate under a duty of care to reduce costs wherever possible including renting out of community buildings and sharing heavy road maintenance equipment

EMC News - Madoc Moira Lake is without doubt an impressive and important natural resource in Centre Hastings. Its accessibility supports a myriad of leisure activity to the local population and its beauty draws those from afar. Tourism is an amenity the lake supports, benefiting the area’s economy. Up to 2007 the municipality employed a private contractor to harvest the weed. In the three years this totalled some $22,588 of taxpayers’ money. The machine could only perform shallow cuts and there was weed spillage . In 2008, the municipality gained a $60,000 grant toward the purchase of a weed harvester. The cost of the machine was $120,000 of which half was paid from the grant; $30,000 came from the municipality and the other $30,000 was raised by the Friends of Stoco Lake. The machine is actually a floating barge operated by a diesel engine powering twin paddle-wheels and can cut down to about six feet. It has an unladen draft of about 12 inches allowing the machine to get close inshore. Weed spillage is minimal as cut weeds travel up a top conveyor and deposits it on a lower one. Both conveyors have solid sides. The

Celebrating Marmora By Judy Backus
EMC Events - Marmora - Celebrate Marmora, an an-
nual festival, took place on July 30 in Memorial Park with the Farmers’ Market in
full swing in the background, and music provided by Cliff Andrews. There were activities and points of interest for all, with an air castle, face painting, a corn husk doll making workshop and games for the children, and for the adults, displays of work by several area artists. One particular point of interest which attracted all ages, was the presence of a representative from the Havelock-based Centre for the Conservation of Specialized Species, the visit having been sponsored by members of the Crowe Lake Waterway Association. One of the centre’s directors, Chris Ketola, brought with him a wealth
of knowledge along with two birds of prey: a six-year-old great horned owl and a lanner falcon. A related pamphlet, available to all, indicated that the centre, established in 1987, has since, “worked with over 40 unique and specialized species and is currently home to over 250 animals.” On a nearby table, there was colourful information relating to the identification of turtles, frogs and snakes of the area which was supplied by the Adoptapond program of the Toronto Zoo. A cooling breeze filtering through the trees along the Crowe River, kept the temperature manageable, but still, it was good to know that there were icy treats nearby.

New Economic Development Officer brings youth and experience
Joey Walsh, the new Economic Development Officer for the Municipality of Tweed, is seen here poring over the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan, a document he considers to very valuable for his new position. Photo: Scott Pettigrew
“I started that business in January and it has done very well. It is unique in that it is not just fixing hockey sticks when they break but is about going out and purchasing sticks all across North America from professional teams. I created an inventory and my dad and my brothers fix the sticks. We are trying to do mass sales to Junior A clubs to help offset the cost of sticks for them.” An average NHL stick costs approximately $300 new. Joey says he found out about the EDO position in Tweed from friends who thought it would be a good fit for him. “Cindy Cassidy is the manager of the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance and is good friends with my aunt who called me out of the blue and told me to apply.” Asked to describe the role of the EDO Joey said, “In larger communities they have big stores coming in and if we don’t have a plan in rural communities, it is tough for us to survive and compete with the Walmarts of the world. Rural communities need a plan and the municipality of Tweed has a fantastic plan with the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan [ICSP]. The plan was put together by the people of the Municipality of Tweed; it is something for the people by the people, in a format that has
been successful. I see my role as setting up a way that the proposed actions within the economic pillar of the ICSP can work.” Joey went on to say that he felt lucky that neighbouring communities have adapted the position of the EDO. “I plan to look at the other
municipalities like Stirling, Marmora and Deseronto to see what they have done and where they have been successful. My first instinct is to go to them and use those resources that area available to me. My next thoughts are to take direction from council and from Andrew Redden [economic development officer for Hastings County]; I feel I need to support him and he will support me. “Tweed has been an active community and is very engaged; the citizens are always doing things for their community and Tweed draws people from all over. There has always been a lot going on but where we need to move forward is to promote Tweed’s strengths through things like social media and signage. A widely used term these days is ‘creative economy’ looking at the strengths and dynamics of the municipality to create an economy that works for that actual area. The idea of a creative economy is not looking at something like Goodyear Tire coming in because they will create jobs; we
need to have creative entrepreneurs come in with their ideas and support them and let them know what works and what does not for our community.” One of the first things Joey has tackled is the Hastings County Plowing Match coming to Tweed; he’s helping organize a tent for the Municipality of Tweed that will see a
number of area organizations represented including things like the Elvis Festival and Arts Council. Joey said he is very interested in hearing people’s ideas and will be getting out in the coming months to meet with as many people as possible.

EMC Lifestyles - Tweed A new Economic Development Officer (EDO) has been hired to replace Sharon Pedersen who left the position a number of months ago. Joey Walsh, 28, brings a youthful approach to the job but also a lot of experience. Joey grew up in Tyendinega Township and went to St. Theresa Secondary School and says he knew a lot of people from Tweed who attended that school. “We also had a cottage at Stoco Lake my grandfather purchased on Mulroney Lane in the early 70’s when it was first developed so I have been coming every summer to the area and know a lot of people here.” After Joey graduated from high school he went to Brock University to take a degree in sport management for four years, he also took a minor in Phys. Ed. and a teachable in economics with a mind to be able to teach at some point. He then went out west to pursue “… the sport management dream.” It was 2006 when he landed a job with Hockey Canada’s B.C. Branch in Victoria and he worked there for four years as the manager of the development programs. “We basically ran amateur programs for minor hockey in B.C.; there were 55,000 players, 5,000 referees, 5,000 coaches and we worked in developing those programs. We ran 25 different programs with the Vancouver Canucks who are partners in B.C. Hockey including skills promotion for their skills competition.” Joey took a leave of absence from B.C. Hockey to work with the Olympic Committee in the ice hockey department for gameday protocol “… and once I completed the Olympics, which was the best time of my life, then I felt it was time to go home.” Along with this experience, Joey also brings an entrepreneurial spirit to the EDO job as he started up his own company upon returning to Ontario called Walshy’s Hockey Stick Repair.

Motorcycle rides raise funds for community organizations By Gail Paquette
EMC Lifestyles - Madoc “I was looking for a way to help our local organizations raise money in a fun non-traditional way,” said April Rodgers, organizer of the Black Orchid Rides. “So I chose motorcycle rides and shows to help my community and bring another breed of tourists
to this beautiful historic town.” With a passion for motorcycles, fund raising and community involvement, Rodgers organized the Motorcycle Ride & Show ’n’ Shine, Saturday at the Village Square. All proceeds including registration, prize draws and raffle tickets went to
Community Care for Central Hastings. The ride began at 11 a.m. and the bikers returned to the Village Square after a leisurely ride through the area. The next planned ride is August 20. It is the second annual ride and show for the Tri-Area Medical Centre. “Activities begin 11
a.m.,” said Rodgers. “The ride will leave at 11:30 a.m. to return for 1 p.m. Motorcycles will be judged at 2:30 and prizes awarded!” Live music, barbeque and games will round out this event; bring the whole family,” said Rodgers. “All funds raised will be donated to our amazing medical centre!”
New entrance for boat launch to begin late summer plans entail: 1. Creating a new boat launch which is better located away from the swimming area, and more user friendly for the avid boater; 2. Constructing a much expanded beach area, allowing sand sports to be played, such as beach volleyball; 3. Significantly renovating the existing washroom facilities, attaching well lit and secure change rooms; 4. Developing a new and safer parking lot, removed from the beach and boat launch area for the safety of children; 5. Establishing a dedicated
conservation area for educational purposes, fitted with a raised boardwalk and biological signage throughout the seven acres; 6. Rendering the entire site wheel chair accessible and more secure with proper lighting; 7. Taking steps to improve fish spawning as a key recreational draw; 8. Ensuring improved cleanliness through engagement of part-time employees to clean the beach, washrooms and change rooms, and other parts of the complex. Discussions to date have
Steinberg Dental Centres
SDC Deseronto’s Sonya, Jan, Nicole and Rebecca
been very productive with a number of key commitments already being made. The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario has agreed to separate this area out from the general Highway 62 project and advance work to close the old beach access road and pay for the construction of a new entrance. The new entrance will do much to improve vehicle safety in creating better sight lines for those entering or exiting from the beach area. This is a key first step which allows the balance of the project to take place in stages, from now to 2014.
Participants in the Black Orchid Motorcycle Ride Suzan Doucet, Wally Sawkins and Rob Gardiner enjoyed the ride and raised funds for Community Care for Central Hastings. Photo: Gail Paquette

EMC News - Madoc - The boat launch committee is moving along nicely with the expansion of the Moira Lake boat launch. The project was started in May, 2010, with a committee created by the Kiwanis Club of Madoc with membership from the club, the Lake Association Executive, Quinte Conservation and local residents. Since that time the committee has expanded to include landscape architect and the local chapter of Ducks Unlimited. The species at risk assessment is complete, the specs from MNR for the Ducks Unlimited initiated boardwalk have been acquired and a tender from Danfords for the building of the new road 100 metres north of the old has been accepted. Even though the shovel was to be put in the ground August 8 to mark the beginning of the project, a setback in the form of a concern was brought to the attention of the MOE and will need to be dealt with before the road construction begins. The committee is going ahead with landscape plans which will then be turned over to Greer Galloway for final stamped drawings. The plans will include new washroom facilities, playground, picnic shelters, an enlarged beach area and new boat launch. The boardwalk initiated and to date funded by Ducks Unlimited will be created over the marsh lands with an observation area, bat boxes and signage. As the construction of this addition can only be done on frozen waters DU is hopeful to begin in February or March of 2012. You may have heard or read recently about this undertaking by the Municipality of Centre Hastings and its partners to make muchneeded improvements to the entire beach and swimming/ boat launch area at Moira Lake. Working closely with the Kiwanis Club of Madoc, Ducks Unlimited, Moira Lake Property Owners Association, Quinte Conservation, the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada, the project is designed to make the site safer and more useable by local families, schools and tourists. Much of the planning work based on public input has been done by volunteers who are committed to modernize the area through funding raised from a number of sources, spread over the fouryear life of the project.

Poker in a watery venue By Judy Backus

annual 50/50 poker run held in support of the Marmora Historical Foundation. The fun began at Booster Park where participants registered

and set out on a trip around the lake picking up a card at each of five stops, including ones on High Shore, the Blairton Lighthouse, Big Island, Tipperary, and the river, the final destination being the Crowe Bar where the hands were turned in. The best of the 124 poker hands, a straight from the five to the nine, belonged to Heather Lemieux of Toronto, who will receive $620. Cathie Jones, the organizer of this popular event since its inception, said at the end of a very warm day, “Mother Nature once again co-operated for the sixteenth annual poker run, and the Marmora Historical Society thanks everyone for taking part. Monies collected today will help us keep our doors open and allow us to continue collecting bits and pieces of Marmora history for future generations to enjoy.”

EMC Lifestyles - Stirling It wasn’t easy, local resident Karen Smith says, but the rewards came before, during and after a 100-kilometre hike she and her teammates completed last weekend near Barrie. Joined by walkers, and fellow members of the Ganaraska Dragon Walkers, Bruce Williamson, Jim Osborne, and Dagmar Ronneberger the team finished the 2011 Oxfam 100-kilometre Trailwalker event in a time of 24 hours, 28 minutes, 25 seconds, placing ninth out of the teams of four who finished the walk together. “There were 94 teams that entered this year,” Smith says, with the walk beginning last Friday morning at Snow Valley Ski Resort. “The weather co-operated for the event with the heat wave of the previous day abating,” she says “and the day was warm but overcast which helped with the
heat.” The walk started west of Barrie and passed through a series of nine checkpoints before finishing in Tudhope Park in Orillia. And there was very little rest for the Ganaraska team along the way. “My team took 20 minutes to one half hour at each checkpoint to refill water, eat and change socks if needed,” Smith says adding sleep was nearly nonexistent for the duration. But she admits it was a great night for walking. “Our team took only one hour off for a sleep at check point six,” she says, and by 2 a.m. they were on their way again. “Thank God for ELoad, an electrolyte, and Advil,” Smith says. “It was one of the hardest challenges I have ever gone through,” she notes, “and very rewarding as our team was able to raise $4,300 for Oxfam and the lifesaving work they are doing around the world right now, espe-
cially in Somalia and Ethiopia.” And, Smith says, thoughts of those less fortunate were travelling along with them. “As we walked with our support crew waiting at each checkpoint, we couldn’t help but think about the people in those countries walking themselves with no food or water just trying to survive,” she says. “Our hope is that our small part will help those in need.” Smith is now awaiting the return of some lost toenails and the healing of a few blisters but is well satisfied by the group’s results. “I am so pleased to have been a part of this fundraising endeavour,” she says, with thanks going “to all those who supported our walk with their generous donations.” Smith says a special thanks is also due her team’s support crew of Pam Callus, Colin Banfield and Jens Ronneberger.
dinner meal was picked up by 6:30 p.m. John Thompson, chairperson for the event reported that “again this year, all tickets were sold out prior to the event with over 640 meals sold.” In response to popular demand, Tweed Kiwanis is now preparing for a pig roast and barbeque to be held at the Kiwanis Pavilion in the park Saturday, September 24. For this event Kiwanis is partner-
ing with the Tweed & Area Arts Council (TAAC) as proceeds will be used to support the work Kiwanis is doing for youth in the greater Tweed area and to help the TAAC to develop youth-related arts programs. For $12 you will be treated to love me tender spit-roasted pork, Nashville baked beans, baked potato, littlest jailhouse rock ’n’ roll with butter, king cole slaw and a soft drink. You and your family can enjoy your meal seated in the pavilion, at the picnic tables in the park or take it home. It’s a perfect event for a fall day, rain or shine. Serving will be from 1 through 4 p.m. “This will be another sellout, good eating; best value,” claims Kiwanis member Don Herbertson. “Tickets are limited and, like the chicken barbeque, they will be sold out before the event. Hopefully people will get their tickets now and avoid the disappointment when they realize tickets are all gone.” Tickets are now available through Kiwanians, TAAC members and various supportive merchants in the community including The Tweed News, Food Company, Bush Furniture, Dellar’s Pharmacy and Tweed Valu Mart. For further ticket information contact Wayne Kay at 613478-3753 or Don Herbertson at 613-478-2747.

Shakespeare attracted a crowd
EMC Entertainment - Marmora - For the sixth consecutive year, the Bard’s Bus Tour pulled into Marmora, and within a short time, Memorial Park was transformed into a theatre in the round in preparation for the July 30 evening presentation of Macbeth. The “pay what you can production,” mounted by the Driftwood Theatre, was again sponsored locally by Friends of the Library, attracting an audience of approximately 170 theatregoers who took advantage of a beautiful mid summer’s eve to arrive toting blankets or lawn chairs, gather on the grassy expanse and, as the advertising said, “enjoy theatre under the stars.” Friends of the Library Chair Pierre Chabot said the following day of the theatre group’s productions. “They are always good, but this year was particularly so, maybe because Macbeth is a favourite.” Dan Gallo, Driftwood’s Front House Manager and Tour Co-ordinator, took time from the pre-show activities to talk about the production which was directed by D. Jeremy Smith who started the theatre in 1995 with eight shows in four venues. This venture has now expanded to
the point that in 2011 there are 32 shows in 26 venues. In answer to a question as to why Macbeth had been chosen as this year’s production, Gallo said that Smith had been looking at the news, and in view of the conflict around the world, “he really wanted to bring light to the idea of how brutal man can be against man and Macbeth certainly shows that. It’s a very brutal play. It’s Shakespeare’s shortest and bloodiest work.” A provided synopsis of the play agreed, stating, “An end world event has left behind a society that is forced to exist in a toxic environment where every person must fight to survive. In this unsettled and warring culture, violence perpetuates violence and the temporary peace that exists is precarious. Here we meet Macbeth, a ruthless and ambitious soldier who seizes power with the help of his scheming wife and a trio of devious outcasts.” With regard to the design statement, Gallo pointed out that the director, “had taken ideas from high fashion to pop culture and movie references such as Mad Max … They were absolutely stunning images and then to

Chris Faires commented that the event was held to honour the people’s poets such as Al Purdy, Milton Acorn, Dorothy Livesay and Ted Plantos. During the time spent at the dam, Jim Larwell launched his CD, Birdman Stoneman, performing an a capella selection of pieces from it, including Moonlight Dancing. Poets took turns reading or reciting their works. One young poetry enthusiast, three-year-old Kai Wakely, treated the appreciative group to a lively recitation, not of his own work, but that of the perennial favourite of kids, Alligator Pie, by Dennis Lee. The following day, the session continued at Zen River Gardens in Malone, a property owned by Faires, where Tai Grove, President of the Canada Cuba Literary Alliance, hosted a reading by members of the CCL

finally see the show come together … and to see the synopsis that he [Smith] has written … it all references this original idea of sort of a world ending event [and] that people have carried on fighting and warring against each other. It really comes to light
on that stage.” The dark play, filled with murder and mayhem was a sharp contrast to the beauty of the park on a perfect midsummer evening, with gulls swirling overhead as the July sun sank behind the treeline.

EMC Lifestyles - Marmora For the past five years, the Civic Holiday Weekend has seen a number of area poets congregate in Marmora for the annual Purdy Country Litfest. This year’s poetry symposium, held at the William Shannon Room on July 30, with presentations by Anna Yin and Terry Barker, focussed on the Life and Work of Seminal Canadian Modernist Poet, Raymond Souster, whose idea it was to form the League of Canadian Poets. Following that, the group headed outdoors, then north to the dam where they assembled in the shade beside the placid waters of the Crowe for a musical interlude presented by Morley Ellis, followed by readings of original works by the gathered poets.

Clow, general manager of Quinte Waste Solutions. The Blue Boxes are available at the West Street recycling centre in Trenton for $6.50 and in other municipalities. “We want to keep the recycling flowing in the plant,” explained Marc Chartrand, site superintendent. “The bags are really slowing down the process.” He said recycling is up across the nine municipalities so that 86 per cent of waste is being kept out of landfills. Quinte West is one of the largest recyclers in the province, accepting 15 kinds of materials. “We opened here in 1990 in a plant that was designed for 8,000 metric tonnes,” Chartrand said. “Now we are accepting 15,000 tonnes a year. It’s quite a job to handle all that in this facility. We have to do whatever we can to streamline the process.” He noted that the operation runs five days a week, and they take only two days a year for holidays, Christmas and New Year’s. He said the trucks run in all kinds of weather and have only been slowed down in bad storms. If they miss a day, they have to make up the time. They have 13 trucks a day running five days a week. “We don’t stop working,” he said. “If we did, we would never catch up.” The plant is a huge operation, with 14 workers sorting through the recyclables, dividing them into various materials. The highest reve-
nue comes from aluminum (e.g. beverage cans) and PET plastic (e.g. water bottles). There is also some material like styrofoam that actually costs them money, but they still want it to be in with recyclables. “We don’t want it in landfill,” Chartrand says. The only kind of bags that are acceptable roadside are small shopping bags with other plastic bags or newspapers in them, or bags of shredded office paper. “Ideally to be able to process a day’s collection of recyclables, we need to be able to sort upwards of five metric tonnes per hour,” Chartrand says. “Because of the number of bags and the manual method of removing those contents from those bags, we are processing between three and 3.5 metric tonnes per hour.” He said with the large clear bags in the process, it slows down that initial part of the sorting to half a tonne an hour. “When it comes in loose, there is a nice flow,” he explains. “But with sorting through bags it slows everything down.” The public is being notified now so they can find alternatives to putting out large bags as soon as possible. The trucks will still pick them up until October 17. It all comes down to dollars and cents. If they can’t sort it at the Trenton plant, they have to pay another material recovery facility to take it. If they were able to process it here they could get money from marketing the material.

The total operating cost to run the various diversion programs is $4.7 million for 2011. About $1.1 million is recovered through grants and Waste Diversion Ontario funding. Another $1.5 million comes from marketing the materials. The remaining cost to run the program is $1.8 million, split among nine municipalities, including Belleville, Quinte West, Stirling-Rawdon, Marmora and Lake, Madoc Township,
Centre Hastings, Tweed, Tyendinaga Township and Prince Edward County. Homeowners are encouraged to put their Blue Boxes out every week, sorted for paper products in one box and containers including plastic and aluminum and glass in the other. “We do not take broken glass or household glass,” Chartrand notes. He adds that any glass should be placed on top for easy sorting.

guarantee”, says Wilson. “I will return free of charge at any point in your dog’s life if problems reoccur, or even if a new one emerges”. So what makes Bark Busters techniques so successful? According to Wilson, “The fact that we do the training in the dog’s home is the key. Dogs are less stressed in their home environment. They are less distracted, and they learn so much quicker. The first three-hour session with the dog and owner typically produces the desired behavioural changes. Not only do the habits of the dog change, but the habits of the owners change as well. By changing the owner’s behaviour toward the dog, the dog’s behaviour changes

too. And since every situation is different, we customize a training plan so you get the results you want quickly and where it matters most. You can’t get these kind of results in an out-of-home setting.” Since starting her business in the spring of 2010, Ashley has trained more than 150
dogs. “Most of my services are provided in the BellevilleKingston area, but I have also trained dogs from as far west as Cobourg, all the way to Cornwall and up to Smiths Falls. And I am pleased to say that the number of call-backs are minimal.” But it was one thing for
Ashley to want to be a Bark Buster franchisee. It was quite another thing for her to be able to come up with the financing necessary to cover initial training and start-up costs. And that’s where Trenval Business Development Corporation came in. “ I knew that Trenval provided loans to start-ups, so I made an appointment to see Trenval’s Loans Officer, Amber Darling. Not only did Amber assist me in preparing the application for a Trenval loan, but she also introduced me to the Canadian Youth Business Foundation, a program that provides loans to young people like me who are interested in entrepreneurship. The loan application process was relatively
easy and Amber helped me every step of the way”, says Wilson. With almost a year and a half under her belt, Ashley Wilson is not looking back. Her revenues are exceeding her initial targets and future business growth looks promising. “I’m so thrilled to be able to own a business in the Quinte area, and not have to consider leaving to find employment. Without the assistance of Trenval, I’m not sure I’d be living in this area today.” Check out Ashley’s profile on www.barkbusters.ca The “Entrepreneurs in Action” series is sponsored by Trenval Business Development Corporation.

Transition to digital TV approaching deadline with little information
EMC News - Regional Many people who watch television have seen the ads on TV that talk about analogue signals being converted into digital coming on September 1 but a lot of people do not really understand what this means or how it may affect them. In a nutshell, if you have had an antenna to get your TV signal you may or may not be able to get certain channels after September 1 without a special digital converter box. Steven May is PHD candidate in communication and culture in a joint program offered by York University and Ryerson and says he has been involved in looking at this issue from the beginning. “In May of last year I had to take a research course and as part of that course I decided to map signals in Lennox and Addington County to see what is available in both analogue and digital and it was at that time I started the blog, <http://dudewhereismytv. wordpress.com>. The blog took off and is still going strong. The goal was to document research for my course but since then it has taken a life of its own and is now an informational source. A year ago there was very little information on the web so I provide information from the perspective of a dude, just the average man or woman who watches television in Canada.” Steven May has kept an ongoing dialogue with the EMC on this subject over the last year and with only one month left before the transition, he contacted the EMC with an update. Steven says he considers himself to be an “over-the-air” advocate, “All I want to insure is that when Canada transitions over to digital we maintain our over-theair television coverage and
that people who are now watching TV this way continue to have television.” Steven went on to say one of his biggest concerns is the lack of information available for people and quoted NDP MP Charlie Angus who said that the whole transition has been a hodgepodge, with some areas going digital and some staying with analogue and some who will have no over-the-air TV. “The CRTC requires broadcasters to go digital in ‘mandatory markets’ which are cities of over 300,000 people which means that all of the major cities in Canada have to go digital.” When asked who presently supplies analogue signals to rural Canada, Steven said it is the individual broadcaster that supplies that signal which includes CBC, CTV, Global and so on and there are no regulations that require any of these broadcasters to supply an analogue signal. “There has never been a requirement to broadcast analogue signal except maybe CBC. The question is how long they will continue the analogue signal. If you take a place like say Pembroke, three things could happen on September 1: there may be no change on the station you watch, another station might go digital and another broadcaster might say they do not want to continue with the analogue signal. My main concern is that there is not enough information out there. I believe that as a group Canadians like to be well prepared; like in winter you have to have your hat, matches, water, space heater but how are we prepared for this change? Is CBC going digital in your area or not? In May broadcasters had to start putting out public service announcements but they are
not detailed enough.” Steven went on to say that he believes one of the broadcasters who has done a good job of communicating the change is TV Ontario (TVO). “While these public service announcements are happening all across the country, it is hard to find out what is happening on your street. TVO says exactly when each area is going digital, for example Cloyne is going digital August 18. It is very helpful as a viewer because then you can have the box you need. I cannot say whether Cloyne will have an analogue signal left with any other broadcaster or not.” Steven said he felt responsibility is shared between the government of Canada and the broadcasters and caught in between is the regulator; the CRTC. “The CRTC should have the power to require broadcasters to provide information to the public because if the CRTC doesn’t enforce this, the broadcasters don’t do a good enough job communicating the changes. The problem is the aforementioned hodgepodge with digital here, analogue there; in the U.S. they went
100 per cent digital and the problem with that in Canada is rural residents may not have any signal. I consider it to be a bit of a moving target. I think everyone [broadcasters] could be a lot more transparent and the CRTC web site, while there is good information, is difficult to navigate. Right now if you want information you have to call individual broadcasters and the person you get on the phone may or may not be able to tell you anything; I have had my best luck talking with engineers and I don’t think this should fall on the viewers.”
Seniors are one of the groups that will be affected by the transition. In Japan they went digital two or three days ago and the government put a call out for volunteers willing to go out and talk to people in rural areas about the change and help them install the new converter boxes. Steven said he would like to see something like that here. “MPs are saying that it has not been an issue but I believe after September 1, when people can no longer access the channels they have been getting, we will hear a lot more
about it. At a grass roots level I would like to see municipal levels of government getting involved and holding information sessions and I would be quite willing to come and help with these sessions. Television is one of those things that ties us together coast-to-coast as Canadians and we should all have access to a signal. I think this will be an election issue very soon.” Contact Steven May at <digitaltv2011@yahoo.ca> and he will be happy to help answer questions or direct people to information sources.

Holstein show attracts high-calibre competitors

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 ex-
hibit 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.
through donations from local individuals and groups and bidders are welcome to take part either individually or collectively. Hearns says families, co-workers or friends can band together to bid on the locally raised animal that will be butchered, packaged and delivered to the highest bidder. Auctions over the past five years have raised approximately $15,000, with sponsorship support, for local students, with bids for the beef falling in the $1,500 to $2,500 range. Grills says, eligible entrants still have time to submit their names. Recipients, drawn from all those deemed eligible, must be in attendance at the opening
ceremonies to receive the bursary. Ticket prices for the opening night concert have also been maintained at $10 in advance and $15 at the gate and, organizers say that strategy has paid off in attendance figures at other activities throughout the weekend. Tickets for the headline show have again been selling well, says local Home Hardware Store co-owner Bob Mullin who provides the only advance ticket outlet prior to the fair. And this week inquiries and sales were being made soon after the store opened following the long weekend. Saturday events range from the day’s horse show to the evening’s democross, a well-attended new event last year that will be returning to the fair for a second time around. “There are kids’ games all day Saturday and Sunday,” says Hearns, “and Sunday night we have the Big Daddy Derby.” Further information about the fair and a full schedule of events is available on the internet at <stirlingfair.com>.
Stirling Fair showing no signs of age By Richard Turtle
EMC News - Stirling Now in its 153rd year, the Stirling Fair is a week away and organizers are gearing up for opening ceremonies at the fairgrounds next Friday evening (August 12). The Stirling Agricultural Society’s annual celebration continues to be a huge draw for area residents,
despite many agricultural fairs across the province experiencing declining attendance, and officials say their formula is a simple one. Society President Paula Grills explains that the Stirling Fair continues to build on past successes by offering a variety of events and activities while keep-
ing admission prices low. And, she says, there will be plenty of opportunities for individual and community involvement throughout the weekend. In keeping with a succession of big name country stars who have graced the Stirling stage at past fairs, Canadian Country Music Association Artist of the
Year for 2010 Gord Bamford will be performing on opening night this year. Bamford’s highly anticipated performance is scheduled after opening ceremonies, which include the Agricultural Society’s steer auction and presentation of this year’s student bursary, open to all students entering agricultural programs in postsecondary school. “That’s a really big thing,” says Society Treasurer Roxanne Hearns of the auction and bursary, noting it is a show of support for a new generation pursuing an agricultural career. The auction, she explains, is made possible

Maguire’s Motocross Racing Series gets support
SPORTS
DIRTcar Sportsman return to the track
By Gail Paquette
EMC Sports - Madoc Maguire Motocross Racing Series is here to stay and that was music to the ears of over 3,000 people who signed a petition supporting their presence at the Madoc fairgrounds “What a difference the silent majority can make when awakened. Locals gathered a petition of over 3,000 names to support MMRS. Businesses and economic development added their support to MMRS’s online petition of hundreds more names. Facts, not innuendo, ruled the day. Thanks Madoc Ag. Society, council, Chamber of Commerce and of course Joanne Lemmon for doing all the necessary legwork. MMRS was approved 100 per cent at a vote,” said John Maguire. “Council was very professional of how they handled things. They listened to everyone and made a decision based on facts. The Harrowsmith antagonists were also there and were once again talking half-truths and not giving the full facts. They got shut down as they should have been … no room in Madoc for one-sided nonsense.”
Brandon Gregory #1 and Promoter Mark Rinaldi #33 thrilled fans in the 12-lap Figure 8 Race at Brighton Speedway.

We will be sure to support the local businesses in this great town!” said Maguire. “It feels great to be welcome and supported.” The schedule for the July 29 - 31 weekend at Madoc included Round 4 of the Provincial Series
and Round 6 of the First Place Trailers & Power Sports Summer Series. There are still many weekends left to check out this fast paced and exciting racing series with the first-ever national event taking place Labour Day weekend.

Brandon Gregory back and forth until he got caught up in the criss-crossed centre of the figure 8. On lap 10 with only two laps to go, Gregory made the pass back into the lead but Rinaldi was there to keep the pressure on. Gregory who is quickly becoming a pro at these novelty races held on for the win. Eighteen DIRTcar Sportsman lined up for the feature after their heats and the top ten qualifiers re-drew position putting #63 Chris Herbison and #81 Bruce Makison on the pole for the 30-lap feature race. Herbison who won last year’s Applefest event at Brighton Speedway jumped out to an early lead and got away from the pack as they battled fiercely behind him. Coming from deep in the field #1 Sammy Reakes of Plairmont, NY, started to mount a challenge from his 14th place starting position. Reakes was able to make his way through the pack with only a little help from cautions as he continued to work the high side. At lap 21 Reakes made it around the #12 car of Brandon Hagan and started to reel in Herbison.

EMC Sports - Brighton The hot temperatures in July have made for successful racing at Brighton Speedway this season. CBM and Campbellford Chrysler shared in presenting the night that included 30 laps of DIRTcar Sportsman racing action as 18 of the best Sportsman drivers from Ontario and New York descended on Brighton Speedway in a rare mid-season visit. Most of the drivers were using this event as a tuneup for the Friday night event of Applefest when more than 30 sportsman drivers are expected for the Smiley’s Independent Grocers DIRTcar Super DIRT Series event. The night also included the much anticipated Figure 8 Race with the 12-lap $500 to win event. The action started with brothers Kevin and Brandon Gregory on the front line and after a quick tutorial from promoter Mark Rinaldi in the well-used #33 the race quickly got under way. There was plenty of action and contact throughout the race including close calls at the X. Coming from the back Rinaldi headed to the front and battled with

Lap 23 saw the caution fly and Reakes lined up outside Herbisone; the two battled side by side for a number of laps when the cars went back to green. Eventually Reakes was able to get a good run coming out of turn four and down the front straight into turn one to make the pass for the lead in front of the large crowd on lap 26. Reakes held on for his first ever win at Brighton Speedway and was followed across the line by Chris Herbison, Mallorytown, Ontario, Shane Pecore, Brandon Haygen, Alex Bay, NY, and Jeff Phillips, Metcalfe, Ontario, to round out the top five. In the Bainer’s Radiators Canadian Modified Division the race was fast and an action packed battle between familiar rivals point leader Dan Ferguson (#11), runner-up Mat Vanderlinden (#9) and Zeke McKeown (#19). Ferguson appeared to have the race wrapped up when on the last lap Kevin Scott (18) spun at the start/finish line creating a one-lap shootout where Vanderlinden made the outside move in turn two for the win followed by Ferguson and McKeown. The Brighton Automotive Pro Stocks saw 18 cars start the feature with #8 Gary Vandertoorn working his way through the field and by lap 12 he had the lead. Brandon Gregory and rival #72 Doug Anderson battled for second for a number of laps with Gregory holding on to take the runner-up position. The fans were treated to 15 laps with 21 of the Bill’s Johns Comp 4 cars. Zac McBride and #17 Jeff Humphry battled back and forth for the lead passing each other three times in the last two laps. While the two of them battled up the back straight on the last lap it opened up the door for third-place car #84, Derrick Greig, that created a threewide photo finish. Humphry beat McBride by a fender and McBride beat Greig by a fender for second and third. The Quinte Towing 6 Cylinder Stingers were back at the track on Saturday night and youngster Jorden Pickell #93 of Trenton took his very first checkered flag. He was followed by #40 Mike Lammle and #17 Jeff Inia for the top three.
SPORTS Solmer Says: Is pigging-out a sport?
EMC Sports - A bizarre eating disorder featuring the all-you-can-eat mentality is quickly gaining momentum among the bored North American population looking for a cheap thrill to fill the stale void in their lives. Just last month in New York State’s famous Coney Island hotdog-eating contest, the crowned champion inhaled a grand total of 62 frankfurters (buns included) in a miniscule ten-minute period of time to claim top honours in the gluttonous category. That’s more prepared pork by-products consumed at one sitting than what is served-up at a Rosie O’Donnell-Kirstie Alley luncheon date! As we quickly approach the autumn season, you can bet your last tummy full of cotton-candy that there will be hundreds of these so-called “Competitive Eating Competitions” popping-up along the fall fair circuit that usually draw a solid constituent of inquisitive onlookers eager to witness the dramatic chow-down challenge. A variety of food menus are made readily available for each different pig-out festival which might include such delicacies as homemade pies, corn on the cob, barbequed chicken wings and my personal favourite, the peanut butter and jam sandwich. It is important to note that there have been a number of fatalities recorded inside the organized grocery-gobbling campaign which is definitely no laughing matter. Yet, as far as this disoriented bystander can detect, the all-too frequent injection of governmental regulations never seems to take precedence in such cases! A few years ago in a western Ontario municipality, one contestant died after a marshmallow became lodged inside their throat thus causing a choking reaction and there have also been a number of too-close-for-comfort situations associated in the pursuit of self-induced heartburn although some have begun to utilize standby paramedics to assure a certain degree of physical protection. It is clearly understood that any other modern-day recreational function that divulges even the slightest hangnail during live confrontations is immediately
ciety there still appears to be no limitation on human beings who walk a fine line between entertainment and downright insanity. Let there be no doubt about it, most of us will admit that stuffing ourselves at the holiday dinner table is something that has taken place on occasion (I prefer the drumstick) but to gorge yourself with an overabundance of edible items within a very small time frame and risk serious internal injuries just to claim a token prize at the end of the day, is completely ludicrous! In my opinion, those persons who do wish to partake in such perilous pandemonium should be referred to as the “weakest-link” in the human food chain!

bombarded with a flurry of flak from the general public who declare the activity as too dangerous, so why are these life-threatening occurrences being carried out without the normal spectator stamp of nonapproval? With a well-documented list of famine-plagued third world countries in existence today, the continued waste of food provisions makes absolutely no sense to most people with an I.Q. higher than a snake’s bellybutton and the fact there are no governing rules to preside over the provoked indigestion makes it an even greater atrocity.

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

you see so many young people here. The way the stadium is set up with the
ring and all the cowboys it is thoroughly enjoyable. The Trudeau family deserves a lot of credit. It is great for our municipality and this is another great signature
event.” Earlier in the year Casey asked council to donate money to the kids zone and they refused. The EMC asked Council-
lor DeGenova about this and he said, “I would like to see council financially support the rodeo. I don’t know what kind of dollars we will have available
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.”

heen. 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

saying,” but instead, “you really believe something that stupid?” For the last few months that man had been attempting to change, to love his wife despite her reaction. 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

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.

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. For the second year in a row the heavy tow truck class sponsored by Steve Stapley and Sons 24 Hour Towing of Campbellford will be held. Continuing from left, Bryce Stapley and Steve Stapley.

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. “We went and bought

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.
