EMC News - Belleville Renewed attendance at the annual ALS is a doubleedged sword. While most charitable causes would be singing praises over a 33 per cent increase in attendance and exceeding the projected goal for an event, Evelyn Wilson, chair of the annual ALS walk, knows that increase is not a reason to smile.
“It’s good in numbers but what it means is someone else has been diagnosed with ALS,” she said. Wilson reported the event drew well over 150 walkers, roughly 50 more than last year, generating over $15,000 for the fight against the disease. “We are super happy with the amount we raised; we were hoping to generate $10,000 so this is certainly a
positive development,” said Wilson. For Lou Scanlon and his family, the annual walk is religiously attended; in fact they were the founders of the annual walk after his brother Leo was afflicted with the disease in 2002. “Leo walked with us for a couple of years,” noted Scanlon. “ALS impacts the entire family; it’s devastating, it’s cruel and it is nasty.

in the case of my brother, he would have preferred to be at home, but it was so devastating on the family he had to be put in the hospice. We were there by his side, but he essentially died alone.” Scanlon said the hope is that the quality of life can be improved for those afflicted with the disease; maybe even fight it to standstill. “I wouldn’t wish ALS on anyone,” he said.

It’s insidious in nature because there is no known cause and no known cure,” he said. Continued support of the fight against ALS is important to ultimately find a cure, because he noted that to watch a love one taken down by the disease is horrifying. “People die from the inside out; their muscles atrophy and literally they eventually suffocate. In our case,

EMC News - Belleville Judging from what was presented at City Council Monday, one might suspect the Belleville area is in need of another hotel or two. One deputation by Brett Davis representing the Canadian National Floorball Federation asked council’s formal support for the city
to be host of the World Championship for that sport for the Under 19 category in 2016. It would be the first time for such an event in North America, he noted, and said some 16 nations would be expected to participate. He demonstrated how the game is played with a large, hollow ball with holes and
light hockey-style sticks. Councillor Jack Miller commented: “Thank-you for bringing this new sport to Belleville and good luck in getting the championship.” Pat Bradey of the Quinte Dragon Boat Training Centre reported on the success their activities have had in Please see “Council” on page 3

Solar projects approved in Trenton but not Frankford By Kate Everson
EMC News - Quinte West Two solar roof projects have been approved by the Planning Advisory Committee in Trenton. One is at 8 Trenton Street, and the other at 106 Dufferin Avenue. The other application at 112 South Trent Street, Frankford was denied. “There would be a negative impact on adjacent residences,” explained Charlie Murphy, director of Planning and Development Services. Murphy added that he did not want the prob-
lems encountered at Pines Stor & Lok on Highway 33 which abuts residential properties in Pine Acres. “This should not be supported, based on that experience,” he said. Murphy said these applications were for the same type of panels as the city has proposed on its properties at city hall and the YMCA. “They are tilted 15 to 30 degrees on the roof top,” he noted. “They will be raised eight to 15 feet off the roof. They are not intrusive.
Pines Stor & Lok panels were 35 feet high.” Bob Wannamaker said the Days Inn on Trent Street has no other residences nearby. Murphy said there are some on East Davis Street but he couldn’t see how the panels would have a negative impact. He has measured the angles. A 35-foot-high roof would have an added eight feet for the panels. Wannamaker commented, “There have been a lot of complaints out there.” Keith Reid said the fire department should have a
say. “If there is a burning building, and they have to chop a hole in the roof, there could be a problem.” Murphy said the firefighters have training on how these panels may affect their services. Jim Alyea commented that they got there too late to change the plans for Pines Stor & Lok. “It’s criminal to see it at Pine Acres,” he said. “It’s unfortunate. At least now we have a say through planning.” The committee’s approval will clear the way for the owners to apply for
Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) program approval from the province’s Ontario Power Association. Council has recently reconfirmed support for solar projects worth $1.2 million at the YMCA and $1.2 million at city hall for the FIT program. Recent changes to the rates will mean a drop in revenue from 71.3 cents to 53.9 cents per kilowatt hour. The projects will be debt financed over 15 years. A project at Batawa Community Centre was not considered profitable.
The projects will bring in about $135,000 a year in revenue. Have you read one of our stories... Agree? Disagree? Something to share?

Achievement Awards judging begins EMC News - Let the judging begin! The fates of this year’s Quinte Business Achievement Award nominees are now in the hands of the judges. Winners will be chosen by a panel of impartial business professionals and leaders who will review the submissions next week. “We had over 80 nominees this year so the judges are in for some tough decisions. There are many deserving organizations, businesses and entrepreneurs in our community,” says Michael McLeod, committee chair. Businesses
were nominated in June by their customers, employees, volunteers and local residents. “Each nominee is deserving,” says Stephanie Wilson, event co-ordinator. “They were nominated because of great business development, community involvement or even from a positive customer experience. This event shows how much our community appreciates the development of Quinte area businesses.” Winners will be announced at the 15th annual Quinte Business Achievement Awards
Gala on Thursday, October 18, at the Highline Hall in Wellington. The event offers an opportunity to network and dine among business professionals from across the Quinte Region. The gala is held during national Small Business Week in Canada. “The event sells out early every year, so with only a few weeks to go, now is the time to get your tickets,” said McLeod. Tickets can be purchased from local Chambers of Commerce or ordered online at <www.qbaa.ca/tickets. php>.
EMC News - Belleville - October is Child Abuse Prevention month and a local hockey team has found a new way to show their support. Last Tuesday evening members of the Belleville Junior Bulls Minor Peewee team taped their hockey sticks with purple hockey tape to generate awareness around the contentious issue. The team is also challenging other teams in the area to tape up their sticks as well for the Purple Stick Initiative. “As a group our objective is to challenge all the teams in Belleville Minor Hockey, Belleville girls hockey and anywhere else to tape their sticks as well to support the initiative,” said Mike Boyd, coach of the Belleville Junior Bulls Minor Peewee Team. Boyd said the kids on the team have embraced the cause. “The kids are at the age
now where it’s good for them to support local causes and get involved in the community, something that really builds character as well,” he said. Ben Orr-McCausland, a goalie for the team, said the tape is a different colour for the sticks, but one he is proud to sport. “The tape makes other kids aware that some children get sometimes hurt by people,” he said. Dylan Patterson, another player on the team, said he immediately embraced the idea when their coach told them about it. “Kids need someone to stick up for them,” noted Patterson. Boyd said he and other parents have had conversations with the team noting that if abuse signs are spotted the kids have been told to inform an adult or another authority figure. The team will sport the purple sticks for the entire month of October.

Council declares Barbershop weekend tourist participants and visitors are expected. Finally, the weekend of October 12 to 14 brings the annual Ontario Fall Convention of the Barbershop Harmony Society. A letter from the local Quinte Regional Chapter, co-host for the event, noted hundreds of barbershoppers from across Ontario and beyond will be coming to the event, and asked that the weekend be proclaimed as Barbershop Harmony Weekend in Belleville. Council was quick to grant the request. An issue expected to be on the agenda from a notice of motion from the previous meeting was a ban on increasing the number of drive-through businesses. A presentation on behalf
of representatives of existing drive-throughs brought the sponsor, Councillor Pat Culhane, to withdraw her notice, but ask for a report from city staff on measures council could consider to control such places without hurting business. Council was also told about some animal problems. Councillor Jodie Jenkins reminded that the city has a bylaw prohibiting cats from running at large and increasing complaints about “missing” cats. Councillor Egerton Boyce countered that the main reason for the missing cats is wild coyotes making inroads into urban areas. “We really have to do something about the increasing coyote population,” he said. No formal action was taken.

their respective organizations more effectively. Cohort 2 with 18 participants began in April of 2012. Last Tuesday 11 individuals graduated from the program that focuses on leadership development. Brenda Snider, executive director of VIQ, said the collaborative initiative was made possible with the funding support of Trenval Business Development Corporation through the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP). She noted that for notprofit agencies, training is the first item to fall along the wayside when funds get tight. “For the not-for-profit sector funds are always tight trying to provide those essential programs to the community,” she said. Strategies for increasing non-profit organizational effectiveness were shared with executives through programs such as Self-Managed Leadership, Human Resources Principles, Maximizing Delegation Skills, Board Excellence and Developing Winning Proposals. Graduates of the program will be well positioned to support skills and business development, as well as the retention and attraction of employees. In Hastings and Prince Edward Counties there are over 900 nonprofit agencies employing approximately 2,500 people. These organizations provide over 1,400 programs to our communities, impacting more than 75,000 people in the Quinte area. “We tend to think of such training as a domain of the private sector only, but skills development of this nature in the not-for-profit sector is just as important, enabling them to better manage and lead their organizations in this constantly changing economic and social envi-

ronment,” said Bruce Davis executive director of Trenval Business Development. Snider underlined the importance of the training. “By building stronger leaders you’re building stronger organizations which are in turn building stronger communities,” said Snider. Representatives of LTKC, VIQ and Trenval Business Development Corporation presented certificates of completion to the graduates during the ceremony on September 18. Snider added on a final note that funding is being sought for Cohort 3 thanks to the feedback from the first two incarnations. “We are hoping to start a Cohort 3; we will be applying for funding for the program … based on the feedback we have gotten from participants this is a program that is needed for
non-profits,” said Snider.

This was made possible through a federal grant amounting to a total of $700. “We were fortunate enough to get funding from Canadian Heritage to fund this event,” she said. Dewar said the day was twofold, with celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee along with highlighting the importance of the library to the public at large. “This is a great chance to showcase the library to perhaps those that have not had a chance to enjoy what this facility has to offer,” she stated.

Quinte Conservation event raises money for accessible trail By Stephen Petrick
EMC News - Belleville Quinte Conservation is well into the journey to build a 1.5-kilometre Bay of Quinte shoreline trail. The authority that oversees local watershed and environmental initiatives held its second Family Fun Day on Saturday, September 22, in an effort to promote its programs and raise money for its trail project.
Quinte Conservation hopes to build a trail on the south side of its main property located on Old Highway 2, just west of WallbridgeLoyalist Road. “We’re hoping to build an accessible trail,” said Quinte Conservation spokesperson Jennifer May-Anderson, explaining that it will be ideal for parents pushing strollers, cyclists or people in wheelchairs. She added the
plan is to have most of the trail paved; the rest would be made from crushed limestone. But such a project isn’t easy to fund. Quinte Conservation is expecting the final price tag to be around $250,000. Saturday’s event was planned to make a small dent in the price. Despite miserably wet weather, dozens of families
attended the event. It included a birds of prey demonstration by Falcon Environmental Services, a reptile show, rainwater demonstrations and bug demonstrations, among other activities. Some brave souls even hiked the trail behind Quinte Conservation’s main building, despite the rain. May-Anderson said that by 1:30 p.m., just 90 minutes into the four-hour event, 87 kids had passed through the door. That was an encouraging sign, considering their admission dollars would go toward the trail project. (Kids were charged $2.50 and adults $5.) “I think this tells us that the community is very sup-
portive of what we’re doing,” May-Anderson said. “And it tells us there’s a need for this type of trail.” The fund raising for the trail started last year, when Quinte Conservation held a wine and cheese event for adults on a Friday night and a family fun day the following Saturday. Between those events, about $6,000 was raised. That was enough for Quinte Conservation to hire an architect to design the trail. May-Anderson said Quinte Conservation was hoping to raise another $3,000 through Saturday’s event. Union Gas and RBC Royal Bank were contributing to the funding as spon-
sors for the event. May-Anderson also said while staff hope to break ground on the project next spring, there’s no definitive timeline for the project. In the meantime, there’s no shortage of other trails people in the Quinte area can experience. Quinte Conservation maintains 20 different trails throughout the Moira, Napanee and Salmon River watersheds, plus Prince Edward County. Those trails total 65 kilometres. They are all open to the public. May-Anderson encourages people to check out those trails. “Our goal is always get people out and close to nature,” she said.

Free mental health assessments loved one. A mental health professional can provide factual information and review screening questions they would typically ask. “Many people are afraid to ask for help. There’s such a significant stigma around mental health that we’re trying to break through,” observed Waplak. “That doesn’t mean the people around them aren’t affected.” The mental health assessment focuses on anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. After a brief introduction, individuals will be led through the screening test. Results will be reviewed by a mental health professional, who can suggest the next steps
as needed. “People won’t leave with a diagnosis, the screening isn’t that comprehensive,” emphasized Waplak. “However, they will know whether it’s worth having a conversation with their doctor. It’s a chance to ask: ‘What do you think of this?’” To book your free and confidential 30-minute assessment for October 3, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., please contact Stevenson, Waplak & Associates at 613-9670545 and ask for Julie or email her at <julie@swaqch.com>. Please note that you are interested in the free assessment in the subject line. Space is limited to 30 placements on a first-come, firstserved basis.

EMC News - September 30 to October 6 is Mental Illness Awareness Week, dedicated to raising the profile of mental health issues that impact many Canadians but most are afraid to discuss. According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada, two out of three people suffer in silence because they’re afraid of judgement and rejection. On Wednesday, October 3, local mental health services provider Stevenson Waplak & Associates, 72 Orchard Drive, Belleville, will offer free mental health assessments with a confidential half hour session at their office. “Anxiety and mood disorders like depression are among the most common mental health issues. They’re also among the most treatable,” said Jeff Waplak, clinical director for Stevenson, Waplak & Associates. “Often, people just want to know whether what they’re feeling is normal.” Surveys have shown that more people turn to the Internet than their doctors when it comes to questions about their health. Not only can it be hard to find the information you’re looking for, it can also be inaccurate. “We will use a standardized screening test that people can print for their own reference and take to their doctor, if they wish,” Waplak explained. “It’s just an opportunity to ask questions of a professional so you can feel more confident about whether or not you have anything to worry about.” Sessions are also available to family and friends who may be concerned about a

Letters to the editor
Dear Editor, Socialist economics and communiststyle central planning didn’t work in the Soviet Union and many other European countries. But the United States ignores history and the odds as they decide giving another four years of Obama incompetence. The coming American election looks like a mirror image of the late 1960s in Canada. That’s when Canadian voters elected a Marxist politician that the useful idiots in the media anointed because he had “charisma” to be PM. Forget his politics Pierre Trudeau idolized Fidel Castro and his Communist regime in Cuba, but don’t worry because our brilliant experts of the day claimed he looked cool and made wonderful sound bites for the broadcast media. After Trudeau disappeared from the scene, Canada was left with a constitution minus property rights, a divided
country, high unemployment, excessive debt and a downgraded financial status. It has taken the last 40 years to reasonably recover from the Trudeaumania madness and even so we have far fewer freedoms today than before the PET era. It may take the Americans just as long to recover from the Obama hangover in his bid to transform that country from a prosperous free-enterprise, capitalist society into another uninspired socialist state. If Americans want to solve their economic dilemma and regain control of their own foreign policy destiny, which happens to be in the interests of Canada, there is only one solution. Get rid of the amateur in charge of the White House. Let’s finally get it right by substituting competence and character over charisma. Rolly Ethier, Campbellford

Dear Editor, Having read your articles in the EMC of September 13, I find it very comforting to know that two residents of Stirling are looking out for me in their vendetta with the Stirling-Rawdon Police Service, in particular Chief Brian Foley. I think Mr. Way and Mr. Stewart should get together and maybe bang their heads together and wake up. Mr. Way, stop whining
about the OCPC decision, drive to Toronto and complain to them, reference the hearing and the outcome. Mr. Stewart, as to your ranting about Lin Clarke’s letter, Lin had it right, “When does the hanging take place?” Both of you take a step back and say, “Do I know what I’m talking about?” I wonder if you both do. Mr. Way and Mr. Stewart, let the Police Service, in par-
ticular the chief, do their job, which is 24/7 not like most people’s hours of work. Am I biased? Sure I am. I was a police officer for 30 years, 15 in Stirling. By the way I had a Grade 12 education when I joined in Tweed in 1974. Is that good enough for the whiners? You don’t speak on my behalf and you never will. You’re a minority and always will be. Tom Andrews, Stirling

I can appreciate that Hugh Campbell thinks his is, “the only commercial beekeeping operation in Northumberland County.” Perhaps, before publishing such a self-aggrandizing statement, EMC could have simply checked the Ontario Beekeepers Association web site, <www.ontariobee.com> and the Canadian Honey Council, <www.honeycouncil.ca/ index.php>, to find many commercial beekeeping op-
erations in Northumberland other than Mr. Campbell’s, and the myriad regulations controlling all of their productions. I shall give you a few local examples: Busy Bee Apiaries in Cobourg (the Carr family have been producing honey for over 50 years!); St Ambrose Honey in Warkworth; Dancing Bee in Canton; and Jones Honey in Castleton. Please don’t short shrift all the many other wonderful honey producers within Northumberland. Under the Bees Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter B.6.6 states. “No Person
shall be a beekeeper in Ontario without a certificate of registration issued by the Provincial Apiarist.” (OMAFRA). The CFIA has stringent regulations governing honey producers and their products. Beware of honey labelled as a blend of Canadian and another source country. It is not a truly Canadian honey. It is far sweeter than you think to live in Northumberland!

Dear Editor, What day and age are we living in with these outdated hunting laws. If I was to drive above the speed limit the police would come down on me like a ton of bricks, but if I want to fire a high powered rifle near someone’s house that’s fine? Using a weapon that can easily kill within a mile and the person possibly intoxicated at the same time! Last year I witnessed a person almost causing a traffic accident just because he saw a “rack.”

Obama and Trudeau birds of a feather
These two StirlingRawdon residents don’t speak for me
And why should I have to wear bright orange to walk down the road or through my own property just in case some low-life is trespassing or trigger happy. Being one of the few civilized people around, I love to see wildlife, but, unfortunately, this beautiful land is becoming a barren waste land. I used to have deer walk through my property, but thanks to rednecks pushing
the boundaries and trespassing there are no longer any deer to see. If these Neanderthals want to kill and eat innocent animals that are lyme disease carriers, then do it away from residential areas. And don’t make me laugh with the deer hit excuse BS; idiot drivers crash every day on their own. F. Bloggs, Tweed
Police report attempted fraud EMC News - Belleville Police received a call from a city resident about a potential fraud. He explained that while on the Internet, his computer displayed a message with a header that claimed to be from the Internet Crimes Division of the Federal Police Department. It went on to say this male was going be charged with numerous offences and could face up to eight years in prison. However, if he paid $100 in advance, there
would be no charges. His computer screen was frozen, and the message went on to say that once the funds were received, they would release the computer. He was able to regain access to his computer by shutting down the Internet, and doing a full system restore from a previous save point. This is another example of a fraud. People are reminded not to send money to any Internet sites until they have had a chance to confirm the legitimacy of the site.

No more coups in Turkey Goodbye, Sam EMC Editorial - In my trade you get used to it after a while, but the first time you wake up to find a military coup has happened overnight where you live is quite alarming. That was in Turkey back in 1971, when the army seized control the country after Gwynne Dyer of months of political turmoil. It was not as bad as the 1960 coup, when the military authorities tried and hanged the prime minister, but it was bad enough. There were two more coups in Turkey: in 1980, when half a million were arrested, tens of thousands were tortured, and fifty were executed, and 1997, a “post-modern” coup in which the army simply ordered the prime minister to resign. But there will be no more coups in Turkey: the army has finally been forced to bow to a democratically elected government. On September 21 a Turkish court sentenced 330 people, almost all military officers, to prison for their involvement in a coup plot in 2003. They included the former heads of the army, navy and air force, who received sentences of 20 years each, and six other generals. Thirty-four other officers were acquitted. Five years ago, nobody in Turkey could have imagined such a thing. The military were above the law, with the sacred mission (at least in their own minds) of defending the secular state from being undermined by people who mixed religion with politics. Making coups against governments that trespassed on that forbidden ground was just part of their job. This was the duty that the 330 officers thought they were performing in 2003, according to the indictments against them. The Justice and Development Party (AKP), a moderate Islamic party espousing conservative social values, had come to power after the 2002 election: the voters had got it wrong again, and their mistake had to be corrected. With public opinion abroad and at home increasingly hostile to military coups, a better pretext was needed than in the old days. So the plot, “Operation Sledgehammer,” involved bomb attacks on two major mosques in Istanbul, a Turkish fighter shot down by the Greeks, and an attack on a military museum by Islamic militants. The real attackers, in every case heavily disguised, would actually be the military themselves. The accused 330 claimed that “Operation Sledgehammer” was all just a scenario for a military exercise, and the documents supporting the accusations (probably leaked by junior officers opposed to a coup) have never been properly attributed. But given the ar-
my’s track record of four coups in fifty years and its deeply rooted hostility to Islamic parties, the charges were entirely plausible, and in the end the court believed them. The army has no choice but to accept the court’s judgement. The AK party has been reelected twice with increasing majorities, the party’s pious leaders have not tried to shove their values down everybody else’s throats, and the economy has flourished. A new constitution, ratified in a referendum in 2010, has finally made elected civilian governments superior to the army. It even removed the legal immunity that those who carried out the bloody 1980 coup wrote into the previous constitution to protect themselves. As a result, the leaders of that coup, retired generals Kenan Evren and Tahsin Sahinkaya, have also been brought to trial. And about time, too. Even now, many secular-minded people in Turkey do not trust the motives of an Islamic party in government. They still think that the army is there to protect them from the dark oppression of the religious fanatics, and that any attempt to curb its power is a conspiracy against the whole principle of the secular, neutral state. But the Turkish secular state has never been neutral. From the time when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and his companions, all military officers, rescued Turkey from the wreckage of the Ottoman Empire after World War I, the state was at war with religion. Ataturk began by abolishing the religious schools, the Sultanate, and the Caliphate (religious authority over all Muslims) that Ottoman sultans had traditionally claimed. He banned forms of headgear, like the fez and the turban, that had religious connotations. He replaced Islamic law with Western legal codes, and declared the equal status of women and men (including votes for women). It was understandable, because Ataturk had always argued that Turkey must Westernise its institutions and write off the non-Turkish parts of the empire if it wanted to survive in a world dominated by industrialised Western empires. But that was 75 years ago. Today’s Turkey is modern, powerful, and prosperous, and there is no external threat. It’s high time for the Turkish army to stop waging a cold war against the part of the population who are still devoutly religious. They are entitled to the full rights of citizenship too, although they are not entitled to force their beliefs and values on everybody else. That was the significance of AK’s victories in the past three elections, and of the trials that have finally brought the army under control. The head of the Turkish armed forces and all three service chiefs resigned in July in protest against the trials of military personnel, but President Abdullah Gul promptly appointed a new head of the armed forces—who tamely accepted the post. It’s over.
Letter to the editor
Thanks to Mayor John Williams
Dear Editor, I am once again writing to you in regard to the pending demolition of our Wooler Hall. This time, however, I am writing to extend a heartfelt “Thanks” to Mayor John Williams and his council. You may recall that back in June I wrote to you regarding council’s decision to replace our town hall with a “memorial park.” I was furious and I believe that came through loud and clear in my correspondence. The pen is, after-all, mightier that the sword. Not long after that letter appeared in your paper I received a call from Mayor Williams wishing to discuss the matter. He recalled my efforts, two years prior, to have playground equipment installed on that site and was very apologetic that the matter had somehow “slipped through the cracks.” Together we brainstormed what could be done to get a better idea of what Wooler’s true demographic is and what best the town hall space could be used for. He agreed to do a mail-out survey in an effort to draw out the necessary information. Within a few weeks I, and a lot of my neighbours, did indeed receive the promised survey, which included a selfaddressed and stamped envelope. It was clear that the may-
or was determined, at that point, to gain Wooler residents’ input. Further, when all surveys had been collected and the statistics analyzed, the results were made transparent to us all, with the help of the Quinte West EMC. For this Mayor Williams, I thank you wholeheartedly. You offered your assistance in a situation that might have gone terribly wrong (had no Wooler resident spoken out) and you followed through on your commitment with action. I have long thought highly of you and the progress you have made, while in office. Whether it be developing Trenton’s downtown, your encouragement of industry to invest in Quinte West or the support you have shown to our military base and troops, it is clear you have growth and prosperity for your constituency on your mind at all times. Mr. Mayor, I not only thank you for the play equipment you have promised us, but also for this opportunity to encourage people to speak out for what matters to them. Action trumps complacency. Effort does pay off and even a determined housewife (I actually prefer “Domestic Goddess”) from Wooler can make a difference. Sincerely yours, Jannine Gray, Wooler
By Terry Bush
EMC Editorial - Many of us were saddened to hear about the passing of Sam Sniderman on Sunday. If you don’t know who Sam was, you’ve obviously never taken a stroll on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto. Sam was and always will be “the” record man. The last remaining store in the Quinte Mall doesn’t quite do the original justice. The name may be the same but the atmosphere certainly isn’t. Sam’s in downtown Toronto was only about the music, a Mecca of sorts for anyone who enjoyed putting a record on a turntable. It was a place where Canadian artists always had a home and a man who cared about them. Their photos adorned the walls, the low budget frames and messages to Sam blending in with the decor or lack thereof. Sam championed their music and did his part to ensure Canadian content was present on Canadian radio stations. Cleanliness was never a top priority at Sam’s. The old place always had dirty, creaky floors, a funny smell at times, graffiti on the walls, more than a few cobwebs and the craziest looking sales people you’d find anywhere. The hairstyles changed with the music, long in the seventies, punked out in the early eighties, poofed out by the end of that decade and then, well I really couldn’t tell you about the nineties because by then, the thrill had gone and progress reared its ugly head with big name chains from the U.S. setting up shop in new and glitzy stores. Music and the Internet joined hands. LPs were out, CDs were in and eventually CDs weren’t in either. I spent almost a decade collecting albums and Sam’s was one of the few places that always had whatever obscure piece of vinyl you hoped to find. If they didn’t have it, they could get it. Their Boxing Day sales were legendary. We’d all get up early and pile into a vehicle, usually mine, and head off to the Big Smoke to stand in line for a half hour or so before sharpening our elbows and making our way through the crowd. It was always wall-to-wall people with barely enough room to turn around. Then with a dozen or so half-price LPs in hand, we’d reunite on the sidewalk to brag about how much money we’d saved. And save we did. I can remember one trip when I bought 17 new records and saved myself at least $50 which was quite a big deal in 1976. Hell, I was making money by spending money I figured considering the average record album cost around $6.50 back then. We’d grab a falafel or two, make the obligatory pilgrimage to a couple of head shops, amazing places when you came from rural Ontario, buy a couple of black lights to shine on our newly purchased psychedelic posters and head home. A smile still crosses my face every time I get a whiff of incense for some reason. With a “see you in a couple of days,” we’d all go our separate ways and hunker down with the headphones emerging only when each album had been played at least three times so we could give a well-researched critique when we got together again. “Well, the only good song on that piece of crap was the song on the radio,” was a common refrain. It never mattered because after sorting through a dozen albums and only finding a couple of duds, we were more than happy to head on back to TO to have another go. And Sam would always be there waiting for us. He looked like an old man to us even back then. But he was almost impossible to stump. Iggy and the Stooges “Raw Power”? Here you go. Todd Rungren’s “A wizard, a true star”? End of the aisle on sale this week. That’s the one album I sold I really wish I still had, it was just so freaky. Well, maybe there were a few more LPs I wish I still owned and in hindsight whittling down a collection of 500 albums down to 340 maybe wasn’t such a good idea. It’s hard to explain a fascination with vinyl but there’s just something about holding that big record sleeve and reading the lyric sheets and in cases like the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour looking at the booklet that comes with the album. No squinting required. I almost feel sorry that today’s generation has missed out on that now that smaller is better whether it be a computer, phone or MP3 player. A jewel case with a couple of photos doesn’t really hold a candle to a double album. And a download from the Internet only gives you a song or an album but none of the fun stuff that goes with it. My age is no doubt showing here. But sometimes even members of the younger generation can appreciate what they’re missing out on. My two nieces from Edmonton came on a visit a decade ago and when I introduced them to my collection, they fell in love. As they pored through my LPs, I found out that my niece Jesse was a collector of Fleetwood Mac vinyl. When I showed her Mac albums before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham came on board, she was enthralled. When I handed her a couple of albums done by Fleetwood Mac alumni, no longer with the band and told her she could keep them, I became her favourite uncle at least for that day. Not to leave niece Erin empty-handed, I taped a bunch of my favourite albums explaining all the while that grunge music wasn’t anything new just part of the cycle. I hooked her on old Black Sabbath from the days when Ozzie was still intelligible. I bonded with my two nieces over those milk crates full of plastic and cardboard and in the back of my mind thanked Sam the Record Man for helping me accumulate all those gems. They’ve moved from place to place and resided in four different locations now but I’ll never throw them out even if I don’t ever listen to many of them again. They’re part of what makes me who I am and Sam the Record Man played his part in my upbringing whether he knows it or not. Thanks, Sam. Belleville EMC - Thursday, September 27, 2012

BGH Oncology unit is a winner
By Jack Evans
EMC News - Belleville Both patients and staff agree the new oncology unit in Belleville General Hospital, which went into service in recent days, is a wonderful improvement over the former area. Simple phrases roll off their tongues like “much bigger, much brighter, much more comfortable.” Most also agree the new space had been desperately needed for some years, with literally hundreds of cancer patients from all over the Quinte Health Care catchment area who often ran into long delays to get or complete their treatments. Cases of sickness, which often accompany such treatments, were embarrassingly public with little privacy. Years in the planning stage, the new area on the main floor, just a few steps away from the main entrance, replaces an overcrowded area on the fourth floor. Before that, the local oncology clinic began in a cramped corner of the emergency ward. In size, compared to the Quinte 4 West space, the new clinic represents 10,000 square feet, compared to 2,000, said Sue Kotel, director, medicine program. Illustrating how busy the department has been and remains, she noted that last year there were 6,500 visits to the BGH oncology unit by some 1,525 patients from as far away as Bancroft. While the local hospital can offer chemotherapy
treatments and some limited surgery, more serious cases and those requiring radiation treatments must still go to Kingston or some other major hospital complex. She also cited the hospital’s better-than-provincialaverage referral time. The Ontario target is two weeks from referral from a family doctor to being seen by a qualified oncology expert. “We’re better than that 80 per cent of the time,” she said. With increased privacy and much more space, “We can handle more difficult cases with more sensitivity, privacy, and with improved support,” she said. But she also admitted that in the first few days, oncology staff found the larger space was tiring on their feet with much greater distances to cover. Patients are particularly pleased, with each of the chemotherapy stations having their own television, specially designed chairs offering both heat and massage, as well as privacy. Off the bright, spacious waiting room with scenic window views, is a nutrition area for snacks and beverages. The special area includes five assessment rooms (up from two) and a dedicated counselling room where a team can educate patients and their families on nutrition, pain management, community support facilities and more. Kotel described the new pharmacy, a key part of any

oncology unit as “state-ofthe-art,” where the ever increasing array of modern chemotherapy formulas can be quickly mixed and administered. Still missing so the clinic can make the maximum use of its facilities for those who need to use it is a second qualified oncologist. The hospital has been looking for one for many months and hopes to get one in place in the near future. So far, Dr. Roger Levesque, who has been a staffer at BGH for some years, is the only oncologist. He is backed up by seven to eight registered nurses of which some are part time. Now that the clinic is up and running, “We’re starting to monitor times of treatments to see if we can tighten up the schedule,”

Auxiliary is major hospital booster By Jack Evans
EMC News - Belleville No matter where you go in Belleville General Hospital, you are more likely to bump into a volunteer from the hospital auxiliary before you see a doctor or a nurse. They are everywhere—answering questions, providing support services, selling snacks and magazines, assisting in counselling and palliative care and helping out in every ward and all floors of the sprawling complex. And to top it off, the fundraising activities of its many dozens of members have been supporting hospital services, programs, and equipment needs since 1938. A case in point was a payment of $75,000 Tri-County Hospital Fund, the final installment of a major commitment to the multi-milliondollar campaign. The past year of service was no different as members held their annual meeting Tuesday in Maranatha Church and reviewed their year’s efforts. Most of the organization’s various fund-raising activities showed an increase over the previous year, swelling the auxiliary’s main account balance to several hundred thousand dollars. While the group helps meet the hospital’s needs, it has some needs of its own. “We need more volunteers,” said President Jane Batey, citing the long-running Hospital Auxiliary Opportunity Shop on the Market Square as one of several activities that can use more help. It was also noted that the shop has a much improved selection of items for sale and should draw more shoppers. Speaker for the meeting
was Brad Harrington, vicepresident and chief financial officer for Quinte Health Care. People who think of hospital equipment needs in terms of millions or at least many thousands of dollars would be surprised to learn that there is a long “wish list” of smaller items needed at all four hospitals in the system, suggested Harrington. He said he noted lack of some much-needed equipment when he first joined QHC staff some months ago, but the board has been so strapped for funds that it has not been able to afford it. He said he has turned the list over to the auxiliary groups to let them pick and choose whatever items they think they can handle. Some are costly wheel chairs at around $1,000 each. But some other items are simply boxes of specialty wipes at a cost of about $2 or less. He also reviewed a “culture of continuing improvement” is developing at QHC, he said, admitting some continuing problems with falls

and wait times, but substantial improvement in recent months. He also heralded the start of an in-hospital “education centre,” which will allow training of staff without having to leave hospital premises.
He cited the $1.7-million project as a key improvement. The auxiliary made sure Harrington’s visit was worthwhile, turning over a cheque for more than $6,000 from proceeds of the provincial hospital lottery.

Habitat for Humanity breaks ground By Kate Everson
EMC News - Trenton The latest build for Habitat for Humanity in Trenton ward held its official groundbreaking ceremony in the rain at Byron and Dixon Drive. “We have a busload of students coming,” said Lisa Gorrell, principal of St. Paul Secondary School. As the students poured out of the bus in the pouring rain, dignitaries took cover under a tiny tent to give their speeches. The recipient family, a mother, Melissa Raynard, and her five children from ages five to 15, stood with a couple of umbrellas, and
later took part in digging into the wet soil. “This is our second Habitat in Trenton,” said Gorrell. She noted the city donated the land and the students and staff have been fund raising for two years. “We have raised $35,000 for the build,” she said. “This doesn’t happen without partners. We have architects, designers, builders donating supplies. The community is very generous.” Jim Kennelly, chair of the Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic School Board, said this is a “shining example” of St. Paul Secondary School’s leadership
position. “We have a long history of community involvement,” he said. Kennelly noted that only three high schools in North America have completed student builds for Habitat and St. Paul’s is the only one that has done two. MPP Rob Milligan acknowledged the hard work and dedication of the students and everyone involved. “As a former teacher, I have a great sense of pride in these students,” he said. “They have done a great job. Great change takes great initiative and involvement.” Mayor John Williams
noted this is something to be proud of, adding that the family has a great neighbour, Albert, who “makes homemade beer.” Melanie Flynn, executive director of Habitat for Humanity in Prince Edward Hastings, said this build is being done the same time as one in Bancroft. She said it is a “labour of love” for those students involved in the project, as they gain skills and learn how to help others. “It is a hand up not a hand out,” she noted, adding that the family will pay off the mortgage and learn how to be home owners. They also contribute “sweat equity” to the build. She said Habitat for Humanity has completed 300,000 homes around the world, one family at a time. Chris Troke, project manager, said the house should be completed by Christmas, with three bedrooms and two and a half baths and an unfinished basement. Local businesses such as Dibbitts excavation, Universal Concrete, Quinte Mobile Concrete, Scotts Haulage, Dennis Martin Design, Trenton Tree Service and more have contributed to the build. A board will be posted at the site with a complete list of donors. Representatives from
Melissa Raynard and her five children participated in the groundbreaking for their new Habitat home in Trenton. Photo: Kate Everson

Ribfest 2012 Madoc By Diane Sherman
EMC News - Madoc - Five competitors in Madoc’s second annual Ribfest held their positions in spite of occasional drizzle and gusts of wind, as did musicians, artists and vendors at Centre Hastings Family park Saturday. The annual event designed to benefit local nonprofit groups and support Arts Centre Hastings, offers entrants a five-way split of profits from the day, giving first place winner the silver Ribbler Cup and $200 cash. Arts Centre Hastings (ACH) competes equally. This year Peter Millican of
Queensborough, who formerly ran his own catering company, volunteered to be lead chef for ACH. It was a winning move. The opinion of four judges gave his team thumbs up. Jim Smith, chair of ACH board said three of the judges were from out of town and one local. “Judges were definitely independent and nonbiased,” he says. “We are very happy we won!” Assisting Millican was his nephew, Riley Millican, and local business owner Darryl Brace, who recently opened The Repair Shop
Foundations Youth Centre provided both refreshments at their booth and music by Leah Lebow and director Colleen MacAlister. Photo: Diane Sherman

on Prince Albert Street in Madoc. Millican said his nephew played an intricate roll in preparation. When prompted for a hint of the winning recipe, Riley recited an undisclosed ratio of tangy herbs and spices in a Jack Daniels solution, preceded by a dashing dry rub (including sumac) applied after a broil of enchanting flavours (cinnamon was one). The Kiwanis Club returned for its second year on the grills with newcomers the Centre Hastings Snowmobile Club, Drum Nation Festival, and Madoc’s Wesleyan-Free Methodist Church. Other non-profit groups played a role in filling out the venue. Heart of Hastings Hospice sold desserts,
Foundations Youth Centre sold cold drinks, and private vendors were invited to set up shop. Derrick Beckford did an excellent job on stage/ sound production for performances by Colleen MacAlister with Leah Lebow, Andy Farrington, the trio of Norm, Heather and Al, and a wrap-up by Tightrope. Drum Nation Festival hosts Deborah and Terry Richardson did a mid-afternoon drumming circle at their site in the Art Centre beside displays of creative work by Brenda Crawford, John McDonnell, Len Holmes, Nicole Flynn, K Cormier, Donald Fraser and comic book creationist Nadia Westerman. Though weather may have lessened attendance,
Peter Millican volunteered to be lead chef for the Arts Centre Hastings team in their second annual Ribfest leading to a win and the Ribbler Cup. Photo: Diane Sherman
community spirit prevailed for the second year of Ribfest. The winner of the raffle for a picnic table and a box of ribs was the holder of ticket number 000166; please call Richard Peck at 613-473-1495. Heart of Hastings Hospice director Doris Bush left her post at their dessert booth to chow down. Photo: Diane Sherman
Cultural Plan duplicates work already being done EMC News - Quinte West A presentation by Greg Baeker of Millier, Dickinson, B1lais to the Economic Development and Revitalization Committee at city hall was received with some controversy. The $9-million four-year program with funding from Hastings County, Belleville and Quinte West stirred up some debate. The “shared vision for action” in festivals, events, arts, museums and galleries and heritage attractions is hoped to draw more tourists to the region by promoting its combined cultural assets. “We need to share our different strengths,” Baeker said. Sally Freeman noted that the Bay of Quinte Tourist Council is already mapping cultural assets of the area. “I am concerned this will sit on the shelf or be a duplicate,” she said. “We all worked very hard to figure it out on
a web site. We don’t want to all do the same thing.” Baeker said he will make sure it is not a duplicate. Freeman added, “We want to work together, not be two separate entities.” The question was asked why Prince Edward County was not included. Linda Lisle, manager of economic development, said this plan includes only the southern part of Hastings County. Baeker added that the county was not one of the contributing partners. “Maybe it should be included,” he admitted. “Obviously, it’s a place people look to for culinary and local food.” Chair Paul Whitley noted that a lot of work has been done mapping 750 cultural assets of the area, with an overlap between tourism and culture. Dave Shoniker asked, “Why can’t we use what Google does already?” Baeker said all three
municipalities have made investments in mapping through the GIS system which is more accurate than Google maps. Mayor John Williams noted that Quinte West already has a tourism committee. “Why not direct this to them?” he asked. “Why create another committee? We have enough stuff going on.” Sally Freeman pointed out that the Bay of Quinte Tourist Council includes Belleville, Quinte West, Hastings County, Prince Edward County and Tyendinaga Township. “We are already working together,” she said. “Staff are included.” Fred Kuypers asked about funding and Baeker said they hope to get some grants and some money from each municipality for staff and projects. Stewart Hood asked if there were success stories in any other cities in Ontario. Baeker said Burlington has a
great festivals strategy. Andrew Kotsovos asked what cultural assets have been identified in Quinte West. Baeker said they tried not to make recommendations about any specific municipality but a regional plan so all could benefit. Leslie Roseblade asked if they had a definition of culture, but Baeker said he prefers to talk about cultural resources. Roseblade asked if hockey could be considered culture, but Baeker said recreation and sports are not included in the plan. The next step would be to create a cultural “round table” to discuss ideas from across the region. Steve Andrews asked what would be achieved a year from now. Baeker said they would have a cultural forum. Linda Lisle added they would have a regional map of cultural assets and use a web site to bring it all together.

Quinte Symphony president named EMC News - Belleville The new Quinte Symphony Board continues to seek a volunteer treasurer following an organizational meeting Thursday to elect officers. Kevin Jackson of Belleville is president, with Jack Evans as vice-president and Debbie Shaw as secretary, both of Belleville. Other board members are Belleville Councillor Jodie Jenkins, Beverley Poste and Michael Dufault, both of Picton and Larry Pohjola, Belleville. Anyone interested in
assisting as treasurer may contact Jackson at 613920-3081 or Jack Evans at 613-967-3970. The new board continues to struggle to launch a new season for the orchestra, commented Jackson, with adequate funding being the main factor. “I am encouraged by the support shown by the Quinte area community so far,” he said, noting that, established in 1960, the symphony is the oldest major cultural organization in the area. “There is a great need
for more volunteers for all functions, including board members,” he added. He also said, “I am deeply grateful to the many board members over the years who have maintained the symphony so far.” While election of a new board following the recent annual meeting of the symphony staved off dissolution, Jackson insists, “The symphony still faces serious challenges, but I am encouraged by the support shown by our Quinte community.” He noted the sympho-
ny is the region’s senior major cultural organiza-
tion, founded in 1960 by the late Stephen Choma
as a community orchestra based at Batawa.

of music.” Though it is the same music store others have grown up to love, Hunt said the business was given a minor facelift during July so Saturday’s celebration allowed them to show off the new look. “We did a lot of renovations throughout July and changed the look of the store a lot and we felt we should reintroduce the store to the public,” commented Hunt. With live jam sessions in the back headed by local musician Tim Campbell, the air was filled with rocking tunes to help commemorate the day as well. Hunt noted another positive change instituted by the pair is the pricing scale which is now on par with major music retail outlets in Toronto. “We have adjusted our pricing so you don’t have to go to Toronto to be in a Toronto type store … we’re here,” stated Hunt.

EMC Business - Belleville - Harmony Music is still resonating beautiful chords within the community. The store purchased this past June by long-time friends Tim Hunt and Ron Leeming celebrated the change in ownership with a grand opening celebration last Saturday afternoon in Belleville. Harmony Music, on Harriet Street in Belleville, has been a mainstay of area musicians for a generation or more, a group with whom Hunt happily identified himself. “Basically I have been shopping here for thirty years,” noted Hunt. He explained that with Leeming the transition was really natural, “We have been friends since we were teenagers and that has always been based on music and creativity so this is a natural step,” he said. “Both of us just got to the point where we wanted to marry our love

classes were in session. Beginning at 4:30 p.m., dozens of students along with parents and families, began gathering on Church Street for the barbeque hosted prior to the open house that began at 6 p.m. and continued until 7 p.m. Kim Sharpe, one of several SEARCH volunteers in charge of feeding the large crowds, says the organization is continuing its fund-raising efforts for playground equipment, which will all be relocated to the new Stirling school, as well as other community projects. And it was a busy night at the barbeque as more than 300 hot dogs and 300 hamburgers were prepared for visitors who arrived at Stirling Primary. Classrooms were open with teachers available to parents as students showed off their latest test, their artwork or their musical skills and visited favourite places like the library, gymnasium or the playground.

EMC News - Stirling Students, parents and teachers flocked to class last Thursday evening as staff and volunteers hosted the year’s introductory Barbeque and Meet the Teacher at Stirling’s three schools. Many parents who arrived at Stirling Senior School, however, were greeted by teacherless classrooms. Hastings Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) officials were made aware of the decision by some teachers to skip the school function but only after the fact, says HPEDSB Communications Officer Kerry Donnell. When asked about the notable absenteeism at Stirling Senior during a scheduled open house at all three schools, Donnell noted, “We heard the same thing,” adding of recent job action “It’s the individual teacher’s decision [to attend and] not school by school.” The decision by some teachers to participate or not participate in after-school activities has arisen as the result of unresolved contract issues.

We are asking for items that relate to Belleville history specifically: these could be postcards, photos or anything that would contribute to our online archive. The physical items will not stay in our collection, but the scanned images will become a part of Belleville’s history, henceforth available for researchers across the world to access through the Internet. This latest resource has been made possible through a grant from the Department of Canadian Heritage that was shared with the Community Archives to purchase scanners and various other resources in order to promote a very important aspect of our mandate as a library: being a centre for information, and making this information accessible to everyone. The Belleville Public Library has always been an important resource for researchers but now, through this digital archive, we are able to offer another level of service.

Award acknowledges a very special player EMC Lifestyles - Campbellford - The softball season has come to an end but for one league it marks the beginning of a new tradition. For the first time ever the Campbellford Ladies Softball League presented a lifetime achievement award to one of its players, acknowledging her dedication to the game.
The presentation was made at the wrap-up banquet and was a surprise to the player which made the presentation that much more exciting for her teammates. The recipient? Doreen Lisle. “For years now we have had a player that has come out and played ball with us and never complained about anything. The special thing
about this person is that this year she thought she would be calling it quits as she is getting older (we are not exactly sure as she will never tell us her exact age but we are sure she’s over 65) and didn’t want to get injured at all and just thought it was maybe time,” said Karen Jeffs, league president. “However, we talked her into coming out and playing for us when we were short

EMC Sports - During the past ten days the annual championships were determined at Quinte Tennis Club’s clay courts at the corner of Dufferin and Queen Streets in Belleville. The initial competition for all events started with evening play scheduled from September 10 to 14 with the finals in all divisions to be played Saturday, September 15. With the heavy rains on September 14 the Mixed Doubles qualifying games were played instead on the Saturday with the finals in all events played on Sunday, September 16. With this change in format some players were scheduled to play in more than one final event; one player earned a berth in three separate events. Evelyn von Michalofski defeated Beth Cortland in Women’s Singles play then was successful in defending her Women’s Doubles championship of last year when she and Elaine Atkison defeated Jackie Fallat and Karen Taylor. Evelyn’s final match of the day was as the defending champion in Mixed Doubles
with her partner Jim Dixon but in this event she and Jim lost to Evelyn’s mother Kea von Michalofski and her partner Grant Giffin. The Men’s Singles winner was Bill Corner who defeated Dan Tie. In Men’s Doubles play Mike D’Ornellas and Bill Corner were successful in winning over Guy Rivard and Jeff Richardson. Consolation prizes went to Bob Fallat and Don Taylor in Men’s Doubles defeating Ted Fielding and Rudi von Michalofski; Cheryl Mumford and Elena Dyachuk in Women’s Doubles succeeding over Jennifer Ross and Mary Carol Black; Beth and Mike Cortland in Mixed Doubles winning their match against Duff and Cathy Folwell; Karen Elrafih in Women’s Singles winning against Cheryl Mumford and James Rampp winning Men’s Singles against Mike D’Ornellas This event was a success thanks to the organizing efforts of the club pro, Mel Madden, the club executive members and all who came out to watch in support of the players.
play and found her home on the ball field. She joined the Prima Ballerina’s team, who were lacking a few players.” The team started to put the missing pieces together and continued to rally throughout the season and ended up winning the “B” Championship at the yearend tournament. For Lisle it was the love of the game that kept her coming back. She describes it as a “night out with other women, more fun than competitive.” Her daughter Michelle Giles plays with the league too. Receiving the award was something Lisle never expected. “It was a surprise. I couldn’t believe it,” she told EMC and recommends anyone interested in a fun
sport to consider joining the league. “It’s good exercise and it’s fun being out with a bunch of the girls,” said Lisle, who continues to keep active with yoga, skating in the wintertime, and going to Curves three times a week. The Campbellford Ladies Softball League is a group of ladies who come out to play baseball weekly. Players must be 16 years of age to play. “We encourage ladies who want a night out with a little bit of exercise to come out and join us,” said Jeffs. Even though our season has just ended, anyone wanting more information about the league can call Jeffs at 705-653-5858. “The ball field just isn’t the same without Doreen (Cap),” said Jeffs.

players and soon she became a permanent player. What makes her even more special is that this year marks the 40th year that she has been playing baseball,” she added. Lisle has been a player with the Campbellford league “from almost the beginning,” and so the decision to create a new award, a very special award, to recognize the length of time she has been involved with the organization, was an easy one. Her story is one they thought others would enjoy hearing about as a way to encourage others to join, no matter what age. “Doreen (nicknamed Cap) had decided that she was going to hang up the glove that had come up with so many lucky catches and the cleats that had quietly helped her steal second and third so many times and call it quits,” explained Jeffs, recounting how it all started. “Still she couldn’t stay away and showed up to watch. In the beginning, it was to be a cheerleader, help scorekeep and she even umpired a few times,” she added. “One week, she was asked if her glove was in the car and sure enough, she had it.

Latch on in support of breastfeeding end participation was very difficult. With Canada being the country with the largest number of participants, organizers decided to move the Challenge forward one week so as to enable greater Canadian participation. Locally the number always hovers around about 34 mothers.
By Michael J Brethour
EMC News - Belleville Babies around the world will be latching on this Friday. The annual Quintessence Challenge will be taking place September 29 which involves mothers breast feeding their children in unison across the world in an effort to raise awareness and improve support for breastfeeding. The event will be held at the Early Years Centre on Macdonald Avenue, with a light brunch as well as information on breast feeding and the organizing group of Live Love Latch. Stacey Lytle, registered midwife with Quinte midwives and a member of Quinte Breastfeeding Advocacy Network, said medical professionals recommend breast milk for the first two years of a baby’s life. “People should remember that when you’re feeding formula to your baby instead of human milk, you cannot always trust that it is safe. Despite regulations and screening, there are recalls on formula sometimes and formula carries its own set of risks when you give it to your baby,” said Lytle. Traditionally, the Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge is held on the first Saturday in October, this year October 6, part of the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. In the past when the Challenge was held on the Thanksgiving Day week-
“It is a family environment, with family activities.” “We’re going to beat that,” claimed Bridget Legere, a work at home mom and volunteer facilitator of Live Love Latch the organizing body behind the local event. Legere said there needs to be more breast feeding women, noting that through both her pregnancies despite Human Rights specifically stating that breast feeding without harassment is every woman’s right the number of women she saw breast feeding was a mere handful. “Because of the breast milk sharing hot topic, breast milk will become something more talked about. Whatever you’re going to say about breast milk I am happy about because so many other women just don’t talk about it,” said Legere. She said often women can

feel embarrassed because of the lack of other women breast feeding and feel like it is not the norm. “That’s why the dropin clinics for our group are ideal; it gets women relaxed with the idea of breast feeding and feeling confident among other mothers who do,” she said. She noted that Friday’s event will allow participants
to get a taste for the group. “It is a family environment, with family activities,” she said. Lytle noted that one thing in particular of note, is that Milk Banks are beginning to remerge in our culture, with one planned to open soon in Toronto.
“They used to be all over, but with the outbreak of the AIDS and HIV scare milk banks were shut down, only recently have they remerged out west and this will be the first of its kind in Ontario,” she said. Legere said that there is a loose network of local
women who have their own breast milk sharing network, a practice she admitted is not for everyone but is becoming more and more acceptable. Those interested in attending the event can show up the day of, prior to 11 a.m.

RURAL REPORT
Danish farmers tour sugar bush on whirlwind tour By Sue Dickens
EMC News - Warkworth Farmers from Denmark following in the footsteps of agricultural journalists who travelled here last year, planted their feet firmly on Canadian soil recently with a stop at Sandy Flat Sugar Bush near Warkworth. “We have four purposes,” said Jørgen Lund Christiansen, leader of the tour. “We are are here to learn about farming in Canada, to learn about Canadian history, Canadian politics and current events and to see and enjoy Canadian nature,” he told EMC. This was his 36th study tour for farmers and managers in the Danish co-operative sector with representatives from farm supply and dairy co-ops and co-op slaughterhouses. “I organize the tours in co-operation with LandbrugsAvisen, the leading Danish ag paper,” he explained. He was kept busy translating for the busload of farmers, retired farmers and their wives, during their trip that lasted 17 days and included travel to Ottawa, then Calgary. “We’re going to see the [Rod] Potter’s Game Park and yesterday we went on a tour of dairy farms in New Hamburg and Waterloo and we had a meeting with a former president of hog producers,” he said. The group returns to Denmark tomorrow. Describing himself as “an educated farmer and

educated journalist,” Christiansen has been writing for 25 years and was the CEO for The Danish National Organization for farm supply co-ops. Since 1999 he has had his own information company JLC Kommunikation ApS and as well has been one of the Danish participants in the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) congresses. Last year more than 250 delegates from 33 different countries came here and he was one of those delegates on a tour that was hosted by the Canadian Farm Writers’ Federation. The Sandy Flat Sugar Bush was one of their stops in 2011 and so Christiansen decided to include it as part of his company’s itinerary. “I used to be a farmer in Denmark but I sold my

farm,” said Christiansen who talked about how he fights for the rights of farmers in a country which is part of the common market in Europe, a country that is world famous for its agriculture and food sector. “It is quite different from Canada,” he commented. After sampling maple cookies made by Alice Potter who has operated the sugar bush with her husband George for the past 35 years, the group toured the evaporator house. “We have a wood-fired evaporator and it is quite efficient,” said George, as he talked about the sugar bush that encompasses about 60 acres of his 172acre farm. “We have 50 kilometres of line through the trees,” he said, explaining that “22 to 25 days is a good sea-
son.” “We didn’t get that last year; the weather turned warm,” he added. The pancake house is open through March and April. “If we have a good year
we should get one litre of finished product for every one of these trees,” he said, some of which are as much as 150 years old. “I think it’s just wonderful for visitors from other countries to visit the Sandy Flat Sugar Bush to learn how we make this wonderful product,” Alice told EMC. “These ribbons you see
here, we have won the world championship four times for our maple syrup. It was judged in Toronto,” she added, pointing to a wall in the pancake house where the red ribbons were on display. “I always say maple syrup makes any dish more delicious,” she concluded with a big smile, the consummate hostess.

Creative Hastings holds networking gathering
By Richard Barkosky
EMC News - Tweed - The Quinn’s of Tweed Fine Art Gallery was the setting for the fall meeting of Creative Hastings, a networking opportunity for Hastings County artists and entrepreneurs. Economic Development Manager Andrew Redden welcomed the local business people who were there to share their learning experiences and find out what resources were available to further and enhance their business. He began by saying that today’s economy is different from the industrialbased economy in the past, and defined the new, creative economy as one where people are paid to think. A growing percentage of businesses in this area would fall into this category, and those personally involved need to grow their business by networking and utilizing the resources available to them. He noted that between the years 2006 and 2010, 260,000 manufacturing jobs were lost, yet 200,000 new jobs were created. He then asked several entrepreneurs to come forward to tell their stories. Maureen Walton related how she came to the Hastings area from Toronto, expecting that she would have to commute to Toronto to continue her business of painting murals. Eight years
on, she is painting locally, in seniors residences, schools and for private individuals. (This reporter’s garage door is a testament to her talents!) Peter Stevenson is a fine furniture manufacturer who located in the area because it is halfway between his primary markets, Ottawa and Toronto. His preparation for this work was an intense two years of training in Tasmania. Each of his creations reflects a very personal involvement with the prospective recipient, his physical characteristics, the expected use of the product, and any other consideration that would make it unique and personalized. The result is a hand-made example of heirloom quality that will last for generations. Douglas Barnes of Ecoedge Designs, solves land development problems by selecting sustainable design systems so that “interconnecting things work together.” His work has taken him as far away as India, where a drainage scheme he put in place changed an arid wasteland into a productive mango farm. Caitlyn Davidson told how her organically grown chickens are free-range birds, and fed only certified organic grain, then sold to an Ottawa restaurant. She is looking to expand her business by starting a flock of heritage breed

chickens. Paul Dederer has converted Quinn’s into a Fine Art gallery which now boasts the works of 45 artisans. Many of the paintings originate from artists in the nearby
area. Being located on a major route between Ottawa and Toronto has helped expand his customer base in these cities. Small business depends on many resources to flourish,
and this support was in evidence in the form of business consultant Birgit Wartenberg, who pointed out her agency could advise concerning government funding, or help someone find a bookkeeper.
A pleasant evening of networking while browsing Quinn’s art gallery was enhanced by the addition of a jazz trio and delicious hors d’oeuvres supplied by Murphy’s bistro.

tions from the morning discussions. The first was that a set amount of dollars be allotted from the capital reserve fund for a structural study of the Belmont dam. Second, that once the structure is reviewed, to act immediately on any necessary work recommended by the findings, and, third, that the LRP’s submission of their concluding report be extended until the first week of November versus the first of October. The three recommendations were motioned and passed. The board agreed to requests from HavelockBelmont-Methuen representatives Ron Gerow and Councillor Larry Ellis that
Belleville EMC - Thursday, September 27, 2012
a press release will be published expediently, with a copy going to the Belmont Lake Cottagers Association. Cottagers believe the dam is releasing water and a cause of extreme low levels in the lake. The dam is scheduled for a structural study as result of an overall evaluation of all dams within the CVCA region. Earlier in the meeting, CVCA General Manager Tim Pidduck reported lake levels remain very low, “… at winter levels …” and there is still a Level Two status in effect for the region, which took effect August 9. He stated, “Despite recent rainfall nothing has changed.” Pidduck referenced en-
vironmental data, “In the southern region we have had 4.5 inches of rain, in the north only 2.5 inches. We need at least 12 inches of rainfall to return water levels to normal.” The Wollaston Dam is on the list of dams needing attention. Pidduck reported acquisition of a fall-arrest system, which is being removed from Mississippi River region, at no cost to the CVCA through the Ministry of Natural Resources. “This is a saving of $10,000 to $15,000 and is adequate for the Wollaston Dam.” Inquiries regarding a washout at the Gut CA near Apsley prompted Pidduck to seek out estimates for fill. He said he received a donation of six tandem loads from Aecon in Mar-
mora, but, that transportation was not included and asked for help from regional municipalities. Barry Rand (North Kawartha) and Brent Goodwin (Wollaston Township) suggested sources in their regions may be available and would be looking into donations/assistance from local sources as they are closer to the area. Chandos Lake is scheduled to be drawn down by two or three inches by the end of September for lake trout spawning. Issues with the dam gate were in discussion as there is no reference point for elevation and sits four inches higher than winter levels at Potash. The situation will be reviewed during the draw down. Funding is an issue for
all 36 conservation authorities in Ontario. MNR funding will send the CVCA transfer payment of $116,741, but, the Water Erosion Control Infrastructure allotment will be reduced by 50 per cent for the next two years. Pidduck said the board is promised to return to regular funding after that. Meanwhile, there is talk of fund raising for conservation authorities. Thanksgiving weekend there is one such event at the McGeachie CA, Steenberg Lake. During a closed session the board appointed current CVCA General Manager Tim Pidduck to the position of Interim Regulations Officer. The next meeting is scheduled for the first day of November.

Canada’s own “grand canyons” and “badlands” are located near Drumheller, Alberta By John M. Smith
EMC Lifestyles - I was driving through Alberta’s “Wheatland Country,” with its rather wide open, rolling and lush farmland, but as I approached Drumheller (northeast of Calgary), the landscape took a very sudden and dramatic change. I descended into the Red Deer River Valley, and here I found myself surrounded by strange, eerie rock formations that included tall, mushroom-shaped pillars of sandstone that jutted high up into the air, and nearby were mammoth, almost “otherworldly” looking canyons with stratified layers of rock and towering, multicoloured canyon walls.

Wilcox signs custom crafted Clarke guitar By Michael J Brethour
EMC Entertainment - Belleville Canadian rock ’n’ roll legend David Wilcox endorsed a guitar created to honour the memory of a late Belleville teen. The custom made guitar was hand crafted by artisan Brian Walsh, who studied under Master Luthier Seppo Valjakka of Frankenstein Guitar Works of Canada. He created the guitar after hearing the tragic tale of Corey Clarke and the family dedicated to preserving his memory. Over the past three years, the annual event held in Corey’s honour has generated more than $51,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation, an organization that granted Corey’s wish for a fishing boat while he was still battling cancer. The guitar was presented to Wilcox at small coffee shop on Danforth in Toronto where Walsh and Belleville Police detective Todd Bennett, explained the story of Corey and how the guitar came to be. “That’s terrible, everyone has been Rock legend David Wilcox is pictured with guitar artisan Brian Walsh after the musician signed the guitar in Toronto last affected by cancer or lost someone it week.

seems. I’m happy to help with such a great cause,” he quietly stated. Walsh invested over 225 hours into the construction of the guitar; Walsh didn’t even start until he hand picked the piece of wood for the body of the guitar. Its value was estimated at $14,000 prior to Wilcox signing it. Corey’s mother Cindy said that when the guitar was shown to her, she became very emotional. “I burst into tears. To think that someone that did not even know Corey was willing to make something so magnificent in his honour was just plain amazing,” she said. The guitar will also be played by the Tragically Hip later this week in Toronto and presented formally in October to the winner. Walsh has built a nine-string Dobro for Colin James and has participated in the construction of tailor-made guitars for both Kim Mitchell and Ian Thomas. The draw for the guitar was held Wednesday, September 26, at Quinte Secondary School.
East Hill’s Porchfest a hit once again By Michael J Brethour
EMC News - Belleville Not even a little rain could dampen the spirits of those attending Porchfest 2012. Though dozens of those that ventured out for the annual grassroots music festival in Belleville’s East Hill sported umbrellas, the rain protection was no longer needed as the sun showed its face. Ken Hudson, co-organizer of the event, was unshaken at the event’s official kickoff at the Glanmore National Historic Site on Bridge Street East, making light of the drizzling rain by saying “It’s just humidity; it doesn’t rain on Porchfest.” But he said there is a reason it is a rain or shine event.
“The beauty of this event is that it uses porches and porches are covered,” stated Hudson. The musical event saw residents touring the streets of the East Hill neighbourhood listening to roughly 30 musical acts at 20 different venues. The day began at noon with performances at Glanmore National Historic Site. In previous years the kickoff to the event was held at the East Hill Park but organizers felt it was under utilized so they opted for a change. “We loved doing it in the park, but after you do something three or four times you learn what works and what doesn’t as you grow,” he said. Hudson noted that by
using Glanmore the “jewel” of East Hill got a reintroduced to the public. “It’s a great site right here in our community so why not use it,” he said. The presence of the festival in the city is the product of co-organizers Lucinda Pritchard and Hudson’s trip to Ithaca, New York, over four years ago. On returning to the east end Belleville neighbourhood they had moved into a short time before, they put together the inaugural Porchfest. “It’s just kind of caught on for good. Thanks to all the people that participated, you are Porchfest,” stated Hudson.

Divided we stand
The Good Earth: EMC Lifestyles - We garden scribes like to pull out the “now is the time” column at certain times of the year. We do this for several reasons. The first is, indeed, it is the right time of the year to perform that particular task. The second is that most of us seem to feel we need to tell you something you may or may not need to know. For example, my thinking here is that Gentle Readers fall into three categories: long-time gardeners (including those who have progressed from gardening to apartment living), new gardeners and folks who read the column because they need to count the number of commas I use. A third is that we are very aware of what
our fellow writers are printing and we need to stay in the van, be avant gardeners if you would permit such an old chestnut of a pun. Another reason is that once one writes about fall prep for lawns, harvesting veggies and fixing up the tools, what’s left is enthusiastic fluff, before the Christmas season arrives. So, today at least, divisions it is. We sometimes to forget to explain that which most obviously needs explaining. In this case, what is “dividing”? Simply put, you cut, pry, or tear asunder, a plant into little pieces. Why would you do such a thing? Some plants, as they mature, will develop bare centre spots, for example, many ornamental grasses. Other
Reality Check:
Sheila Wray Gregoire EMC Lifestyles - Frequent readers of this column will know that I am not a fan of contemporary culture. Every critique I have written to date, though, pales in comparison to this: Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
plants, such as daylilies, will sort of crowd themselves and flower production drops off and you’re left with a big clump of grassy stuff that looks as if the lawnmower should be brought in. Often, the plant has outgrown its allocated area and needs to be shown its proper place again. How do you do it? Carefully. Well, that was the glib answer and while some care needs to be taken, precision is usually not necessary. However, just breaking up a plant into little bits is a good way of creating compost if you go about it in the wrong fashion. Now is the time but is it always this time? No matter what you do in terms of gardening you can be sure there is some sort
of general guideline to follow and dividing perennials is no different. Those that flower in the spring are best divided in the fall and those that either flower or bear fruit in the fall are best divided in the spring. That is so you get the maximum benefit of the visual appeal of the plant, not for any better survivability. If you are looking only at what time is best for the plant, then now is that time. “Now” gives the division lots of time to overcome the shock of being torn asunder; time to develop new roots; and time to establish a food reserve for the coming spring. There are exceptions, always. Gentle Reader, on the web you will find many experts,
and most really are, and you will find many folk who are not experts but are enthusiastic gardeners who want to share with you their knowledge. Follow the advice of the known quantity. I say this because if you read through a lot of the information you will find contradictions. For me, there are two imperatives. The first is to use sharp tools. The second is to know as much as you can about the plant itself. Stay ahead of the curve, don’t wait for a plant to seriously decline before you attempt to rejuvenate it. By the way, you might read about the two-fork method for splitting large clumps of daylilies or grasses. I confess I have difficulty with this method and I’m
Dan Clost not sure if it is a lack of coordination causing the problem. I prefer to use an old pruning saw to get through the mass, with some hand trimming afterwards. Perhaps, the reality is that it is not easy to find both forks at the same time.
A Honey Boo Boo world
proves that we are witnessing The End of the World as We Know It. Perhaps the Mayans were onto something. For those of you not familiar with this monstrosity, Honey Boo Boo Child is the nickname of sixyear-old Alana Thompson, a rather rotund contestant made famous by the show Toddlers and Tiaras. Her favourite slogan is “a dollar makes me holler,” which made me want to gag. Her mother dresses up her overweight offspring in overthe-top outfits, teaches her to talk and act like a tramp, and fosters this freakish persona for all to see. I have not seen the show (we don’t subscribe to cable), but I’ve watched enough YouTube
clips that my brain’s constant refrain is now “make it stop.” The cultural appeal of Honey Boo Boo is similar to that of a train wreck: it’s so awful that you just can’t look away. And this is not, of course, a new phenomenon. In the past we had circuses with bearded ladies or elephant men. Centuries ago families would embark on a nice Sunday outing to watch the latest hanging. We have always enjoyed watching freaks. It makes us feel better about ourselves. And pretty much everyone is better than Miss Alana’s mother, who feeds her child a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew (her “go go juice”) to boost
Cultural Awareness Workshops
Honey Boo Boo’s energy during pageants. Few of us would ever parent that badly. And so the show has wide appeal. In fact, more people watched Here Comes Honey Boo Boo than watched the Republican National Convention in the United States. The people who will be determining the next leader of the free world aren’t bothering to listen to the candidates; they’re watching a family that gives rednecks a bad name. I do not believe everybody should watch all political debates or conventions; that truly is a personal choice. At the same time, though, our world is facing major problems. The Middle East is in an uproar again;
Europe is disintegrating; China is flexing its muscles. Perhaps it is hardly surprising that we should choose instead to watch reality TV shows, where we can immerse ourselves in this alternative reality, and ignore the even scarier one that is encroaching upon us. Nevertheless, this is a huge cultural blunder. Back in Roman days the senators and leaders provided “bread and circuses” to distract the masses. They produced dramatic yet gory extravaganzas so the people would be appeased and would have something to think about and talk about rather than how corrupt and inept the government was. And it worked. The difference today is
that it is not our leaders putting on circuses to distract us. We are doing it to ourselves willingly. After millennia of people fighting for freedom, we are choosing instead to ignore the real issues and gloat about obese redneck freak shows. I know I frequently border on snobbery, and so perhaps I am putting too grim a spin on it. But I can’t help feeling that a free people must deserve to be free. And a free people must be vigilant about staying that way. I don’t think a society immersed in Honey Boo Boo, or the Kardashians, or the latest sex tape qualifies. And so I worry about what cultural phenomenon comes next.

Quinte West Tennis open runs under new flag By Michael J Brethour
EMC Sports - Belleville The former annual Quinte West Open ran under a new name this year. The inaugural Doug Grant tennis open was simply an idea organizer Mike Pope saw as a way to combine two separate events into a condensed version. Doug Grant is a Belleville Sports Hall of Fame inductee for his accomplishments in badminton. “Instead of running two
tournaments I decided to just run one with a portion of the proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society,” explained Pope. This year the tournament saw a 16-man singles draw and an eight-team doubles draw. Pope said the mixed weather forecast for the two-day tournament might have affected the attendance proportionately, noting that next year he expects a larger turnout
perhaps closer to past years which have seen upwards of 46 competitors. Owing to the weather the men’s singles final is Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Loyalist College tennis courts. Results are as follows: In men’s singles Bill Corner defeated Mike Bartsch of London 6 - 2 and 6 - 0; Daren Sharpe of Trenton defeated Steve Thompson from London 6 - 4 and 6 0; men’s doubles final saw
Corner and Sharpe defeat Mike Bartsch from London and Desi Kane from Toron-
to 6 - 0 and 6 - 1; doubles consolation winners were Brian and Ben Fellows;
Belleville, singles consolation winner was Mike Chouinard of Belleville.
EMC Sports - The Williams Hotels Belleville Junior Bulls Minor Bantam AEs defeated the Pickering Panthers in their home opener by a score of 11 - 0. The Bulls dominated the play through all 45 minutes of the opening game which saw goals and assists from almost every member of the team who participated in a very well disciplined game. Tyler Quance got the shutout in his first game of the
regular season. Cameron Bardell scored the opening goal followed with two more during the game for the hat trick. Dawson Closs with two goals and two assists on the night had a four-point game. Jason Berry had a pair of goals and an assist with the balance of markers being scored by Matthew Petto, Nicholas Kyte, Nolan Parliament and Rylan Young. Assists also went to Rylan
Levean (3), Wyatt Brennan (3), Matthew Petto (1), Ben Smith (1), Lucas Gagne (3), Brayden Peters (1), Colum Joyce (2), Rylan Young (1), Nicholas Kyte (2), Ben Stoliker (1) and Nolan Parliament (1). The Minor Bantams play next at home against the Oshawa Junior Generals on Saturday, September 29, at 7:15 p.m. at Wally Dever Pad followed next Sunday on the road against the Whitby Wildcats.
EMC Sports - The Quinte Carpet One Minor Atom Red Devils hosted the Peterborough Petes in backto-back games to open ETA regular season play. In game one, the Petes scored the winning goal with two minutes left to play and then added an empty netter as the Devils dropped a 3 - 1 decision. Nate Burelle, unassisted, scored for the Devils.
Dixon Grimes was solid between the pipes in the loss. In Sunday’s rematch, the Devils once again lost by an identical 3 - 1 score. Gavin Camp scored the lone Devils’ goal with Aden DeryawWalsh and Isaac Macleod drawing assists. Ethan Fraser was strong in the Devils’ loss. McInroy Maines The McInroy Maines Mi-
nor Midgets started the season short-handed. The team travelled to Richmond Hill to face the South Central Coyotes with only eight skaters and one goalie. The boys battled hard in a 3 - 1 loss. Brodie Butt had the lone goal for Quinte with the assist going to Josh Kurish. Cameron Parr faced 35 shots in net.

EMC News - Marmora - A total of 17 stalwart men and women headed out from Memorial Park on Septem-

Junior Bulls come back to tie Ajax EMC Sports - The Williams Hotel Belleville Junior Bulls travelled to Ajax on Friday evening to open their season on the road against a highly ranked rival from last season in an exciting and action-filled game. At the end of the first period the Bulls and Knights saw no scoring as both goaltenders were exceptional. Liam Raycroft for the Bulls stopped several attacks from the Knights only to deny them time and time again. In the second period, the Knights scored three goals in the first 12 minutes of the period, including a penalty
shot, however, the Bulls responded near the end of the period with a goal at the 6:22 mark by Nicholas Kyte from the point on a play made by Ben Smith for the assist. This was followed only one minute and 14 seconds later with a beautifully executed play by Lucas Gagne with assists from Cameron Bardell and Ben Smith for his second assist of the evening. The Bulls weren’t done in the second yet, when Rylan Young scored on a rebound shot from Nicholas Kyte and Cameron Bardell for the helpers. The Knights did respond,
however, with a goal with 43 seconds left in the period giving them a 4 - 3 lead after two complete periods of hockey. Starting into the third period the Knights went on the attack and scored again at 9:55 of the third opening their lead by two, but the Bulls refused to throw in the towel and went to work. Three minutes later Nicholas Kyte made an end-toend run on the Knights and placed a marker in the five hole of the Knights goal tender to bring the team within one of tying the game. With 26 seconds remain-
ing in the game and the Bulls net empty, Dawson Closs made a pass to the point setting up Nicholas Kyte on the point for a shot that found its way to the back of the net to tie the game at five. In comments to the team following the game, Coach John Hoskin and Assistant Coach Tyler Green were impressed on how the Junior Bulls never stopped playing their game and even when down, the Bulls team responded when a lot of teams would have called it in after going down by three. But that’s not this team, let there be no doubt.

Near the end of the period, a pass by Matt Cavanaugh sprung Austin Labelle, who was able to put it past the Coyotes’ netminder and again narrow the lead to one.

SnoFest Event Co-ordinator Vicki Best commented while waiting for the last of the entrants to arrive back at the park, “We hope each year to get steadily more and more participation.

Sheep advocate continues fight after raid By Sue Dickens
Trying to postpone the inevitable, a clearly upset Montana Jones had to turn over the four remaining heritage lambs on her property to the CFIA during a raid last Saturday morning after being served with a warrant. Photo: Ursula Fugger
EMC News - Hastings Faced with foreclosure on her 100-acre farm, Montana Jones seemed dazed by the events of the morning. Last Saturday about 8 a.m. a convoy of vehicles arrived on her property, Wholearth Farmstudio, and police shut off access as officials with the Canada Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), armed with a warrant, proceeded to search for any remaining Shropshire sheep. “They had a use of force authorization,” she said, still trying to comprehend what had happened. Jones’ efforts to save her flock of rare heritage Shropshire sheep has been the centre of controversy and national media attention since the CFIA decided to quarantine her farm after a sheep born in 2006 to an Alberta farm was said to test positive for scrapie three years later. By 10 a.m. local media had arrived but only after four lambs had already been load-
ed onto a truck and removed, taken to Ottawa to be euthanized later that day. “It was all very intimidating,” said Jones as she tried to gather herself to talk about what had just happened. “I still have eight ewes three lambs and two rams that are Shropshire … just not the genotype they want,” she said while gathering her thoughts. “There is a move to wipe out ARQ/ARQ sheep as they have been considered to be a susceptible genotype for possible scrapie,” said Jones in an earlier posting on one of her web sites. Sheep with genotype ARQ/ARQ, (denoting polymorphisms at codons 136, 154, and 171), are susceptible to scrapies, according to the CFIA. “I had 75 in the flock at this time two years ago,” she said looking around her farm with a desolate expression on her face. It was at the time, the largest flock in Canada. There is only a handful of these left. Please see “Fund raiser” on page 3
Medallist Liz Manley to join Hockeyville party By Richard Turtle
EMC News - Stirling The stars are coming out to Hockeyville. While NHL contract negotiations have resulted in the postponement of the planned NHL pre-season game between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Hockeyville celebrations are moving ahead this weekend and,
along with the Stanley Cup parade, there will be plenty of familiar faces joining the fun and hitting the ice at the local rink. Former Trenton resident and Olympic silver medallist Elizabeth Manley will be participating in Hockeyville celebrations, conducting a pair of skating clinics Sunday morning. Manley, who skated to a second-place
finish in the 1988 Winter Olympics, was also a threetime Canadian champion and a top ten finisher five times in the World Championships in the 1980s. “Having Elizabeth Manley come to our little community is such an honour,” says the Stirling Figure Skating Club’s Laurie McMurray. And while participants in the clinics have
already been determined, McMurray says the public is welcome to watch from the stands. As well, photo and autograph sessions will be held during the last 15 minutes of each clinic. The STARskaters clinic will be from 10 to 11 a.m. with the Canskaters taking the ice from 11 a.m. until noon. But Manley isn’t the only
Canadian skating star expected this weekend. Along with hockey’s most famous trophy, the Stanley Cup, visitors to Hockeyville will also have a chance to meet several former NHLers as well as today’s Belleville Bulls. Beginning at 11:30 a.m., the Stanley Cup parade will run west along Front Street from Wells Ford to the arena where activities will contin-
ue until 3 p.m. Sunday night features a celebrity hockey game which will include appearances by Hockey Night in Canada’s Ron MacLean and former NHLers Rob Ray, Jamie Allison, Gary Leeman, Mike Johnson and many more. Tickets for the game have already been issued. Immediately after the parade, several players will be Please see “Hockeyville” on page 3

EMC News - Brighton - A local student has qualified for the grand prize final in a national photo contest. East Northumberland Secondary School student Hannah Rittwage won round two of the Learning Partnership fourth annual Ultimate Dream Job Contest. Voting ended one second before midnight Sunday and when the results were announced at noon Monday, her mom called to let her know. She had to call back to make sure she heard right. “I thought I was going to pass out,” said Hannah. The contest is open to students across Canada starting Grade 9 this fall. Contestants submit a photo representing their dream job, along with a short explanation, and each week the ten best will be displayed online for voting. The top three win prizes and the winner advances to the finalist gallery where the public will elect a winner. Identified on the web site only as “Prosecutor,” Hannah wrote, “It is my dream to be a prosecuting lawyer and I believe that Lady Justice represents the job perfectly. I love the idea of representing justice in our society, making whoever had committed a crime pay for it justifiably.” The inspiration for law and order comes from her dad, Deputy-mayor Tom Rittwage, who works at Warkworth Institution. “I’ve been interested in the law since I was 12,” said

Ways to lower car insurance rates at any age Drivers should look for more savings regardless of driver profile. Auto insurance is a major expense in a household budget. While it’s mandatory to have insurance, overpaying is not necessary. There are simple ways of getting a more affordable auto insurance rate, regardless of age or driving experience. NEW DRIVERS Use of a ‘good student discount’ is one way to save on insurance for a young driver. Many insurance companies offer a discount for students who carry a minimum required grade average. Another way to save is by taking a driver education course from an approved school; to learn the rules of the
road. Be sure to inquire about these options, as they may not always be advertised. DRIVERS OVER 25 There may have been some improvement in yearly premiums for drivers with some driving experience. Don’t forget to also ask about further discounts. These may include: installing a security system, driving an eco-friendly car, or installing safety features such as winter tires. If recently married, combine policies with your spouse and take advantage of bulk discounting by having more than one car insured with the company. EXPERIENCED DRIVERS An experienced driver with a good driving record may be eligible for better insurance rates; the key is to find the insurance company that will offer the lowest rate. Shopping around for car insurance is the easiest way to find a better way. Other ways
to save include changing your deductible – perhaps carrying a higher deductible; or, combining home and auto insurance policies with the same insurance company. DRIVERS OVER 55 YEARS Mature drivers over 55 years old may qualify for some of the best rates available. Some insurance companies across Canada specialize in getting the best rates for mature drivers. There are also retirement benefits to keep in mind: no commute distance may mean a lower rate. Make sure the insurance company changes the commuting status to pleasure use. MORE TIPS Remember to review your policy frequently. Tickets come off your driving record in three years from the date that you are convicted and accidents come off in six years. If a ticket or accident has come off your driving record,
check with your insurance company to make sure you’re not still paying for that ticket or accident. If you drive an older car, you may want to remove the collision coverage if you feel that it’s not worth the extra yearly cost to compensate you for your vehicle value. This will reduce your insurance premium. Many car insurance companies may actually offer a lower rate to drivers who pay their premium in full on renewal than to those who choose to pay in installments. Monthly payments often come with fees that are charged on each installment. Paying the whole thing up front is a quick and simple way to pay less. No matter how old you are, it is always a good idea to shop around for a better rate. Quoting sites like ComparaSave.com help drivers find the lowest insurance rate available within their network of over 30 insurance companies.

Arts Council celebrates October is Arts Month EMC Lifestyles - Brighton - October will be a busy month for the Brighton Arts Council (BAC) as they do their part to celebrate Arts Month in Northumberland County. The arts organization is playing host to no less than 20 workshops and performances throughout the month at their new headquarters, The Gates, on Presqu’ile Parkway as well as a weekend show at East Northumberland Secondary School and the Brighton community centre from October 19 to 21. How does the BAC gauge success after their first summer season at The Gates? More than 700 people signed the guest book from the mid-June opening through the Labour Day weekend and, says BAC president Ron Waddling, “the majority were visitors to the gallery.” “This is a pilot project and things are very much in their early stages,” he said. “We’re gauging it as we go along.” But, he adds with a big grin, there was at least one sale every day the arts and culture centre opened its doors. “October is Arts Month is for all artists, arts groups and our relatives … those who ben-
efit from and support the arts,” says Waddling. “In October, we share experiences and a host of workshops bring members and non-members together to get a good sampling of a wide range of interests in the arts community.” Waddling credits new BAC executive assistant Katie Litt for creating the October program. “This is more than co-ordinating hosts and disciplines,” he said. “It’s a great value and a new opportunity to meet the artists, be entertained and gain a little knowledge in a friendly setting.” Litt, a theatre studies and art history graduate from the University of Guelph, says she’s had experience organizing small events at the Diefenbunker Museum at Carp, Ontario and Barnum House at Grafton but admits the Brighton October is Arts Month agenda is her biggest challenge so far. “It’s been really great,” she said. “All these people are extremely passionate about the arts and extremely passionate about what they do. “And to be able to offer 20 workshops for only five dollars each, it really opens up the arts for everyone. It gives everyone a taste of what Brighton has to offer and there’s
definitely something for everybody.” Workshops include everything from carving Harry Potter wands to painting, dance, drama, history and lots more. One has certainly captured Waddling’s interest. He’s already registered. “The drum circle [on
October 13] is something I personally have never experienced,” he said. “When I heard the host [Frank Blanchet] sing, I signed up. It’s worth five dollars to hear him perform.” Patrons are asked to enroll in advance for the workshops and performances at The Gates. For
more information or to confirm your attendance email <brightonart@xplornet.ca> or call 613210-0851. As a prelude to the October feast of the arts, The Gates is featuring a special five-woman show, Morocco Rouge, this weekend from 1 to 8 p.m. September 29 and 1
to 5 p.m. September 30. On October 1, Margaret Roberts from Blossoms will be holding a workshop on Thanksgiving arrangements from 2-3 p.m. and on Wednesday, October 3, Nichola Battilana will hold a mixed media workshop, Wizards and Witches from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

BMX racers wheel to winning season By Richard Turtle
EMC Sports - Stirling Like a lot of kids their age, brothers Cole and Lance Zufelt spent a large chunk of their summer just racing around on their bikes. Unlike most, it earned them a roomful of hardware and the chance to compete in a pair of national competitions in the U.S. next month. Cole, who turns nine in October and Lance, seven, just finished their second full season of BMX racing and their results were pretty hard to beat. Cole, who took the provincial championship on 20-inch wheels and a second place in 24-inch currently ranks second of more than 300 riders in the province. Lance ranked third of all seven-year-olds and currently stands ninth in the province. Racing BMX in Kingston and Gananoque every week as members of the Napaneebased McQuaig Racing Team, the boys have collected plenty of medals and trophies and also received local support from sponsors including Twisted Mounty. And for parents Tim and
Elise it’s meant plenty of driving. “They started racing at the national level this year and have raced in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, [and] Kingston,” says Tim. “We’ve traveled to Milton, Chatham, Gan, Ottawa, Kingston for Provincials.” And it’s far from over, with a few trips looming on the horizon. “We’re going to New York this weekend, North Carolina at Thanksgiving and Florida at the end of October,” he says. And for Cole and
Lance, it will mean missing a bit of school in order to compete. And they don’t mind that part either. Despite the travel, it can get pretty intense on race day, they say. Now an Olympic sport, Tim explains, BMX racers use customized bikes and compete in groups of about eight at a time racing around a smooth but windy and hilly course measuring several hundred metres. Crashes are not uncommon, Lance admits showing off a friction burn on a sleeve,
but injuries tend to be minor. Riders, the Zufelts say, are almost certain to have bruises and scars on their shoulders and hips. A race consists of a single lap but these riders and their spectator parents agree that minute or so is flat out excitement. The bikes aren’t exactly standard issue. Often purchased in pieces, each component can be slightly altered to suit the individual rider and assembly, modifications and
reassembly can all become part of the routine. And the requirement for helmets and other protective gear goes without saying. When not on their bikes, the brothers enjoy hockey, soccer, snowboarding and cross-country, among others. But their parents are eyeing up their bikes and planning on getting in on the act as well just for the sheer fun of it. “I’m going to start next year,” Elise says. “It’s a
really good family sport.” And Tim, who raced motocross for 14 years before injuries slowed him down, says you won’t find many workouts that match a trip around a BMX track. The boys’ final race of the season, The Disney Cup in Orlando, will also include a family holiday with plenty of time away from the track. “They deserve it,” says Elise. “They had a really good season.”
What did you do this summer? Cole and Lance Zufelt raced around on their BMX bikes and collected a few trophies. But the Stirling duo have a few races left with national competitions in North Carolina and Florida in October. Photo: Richard Turtle

Members of the Royal Canadian Regiment from Niagara donated $500 to the Afghanistan Memorial to Mayor John Williams. Included in the presentation were John Clark, Harry Preenen, Bill Robson, James Kaczmarek and Al McKelvey. Photo: Kate Everson By Kate Everson
EMC News - Trenton Members of the Niagara branch of the Royal Canadian Regiment Association have donated $500 to the Afghanistan Memorial in Bain Park. President Al McKelvey said they discussed making the donation at their recent annual general meeting.
Mayor John Williams accepted the cheque at city hall saying it is important for people to be aware of the significance of the memorial which recognizes our Canadians who died in Afghanistan. “We started working on this campaign for two years,” he said. “I have been to almost all the repats since 2006, and
there were people at the fence lines and on the overpasses.” He said it is important to do something to remember these brave soldiers. There is no government funding for the memorial as the committee wanted it to come from donations across the country. “We wanted it to come
