Moroccan night première raises $2,000
By Sue Dickens
EMC Events - Hastings - The exotic world of Moroccan cuisine tempted the palates of supporters of the Hastings Food Bank at its première fund-raising dinner held last Friday evening. More than 200 people crowded into the Civic Centre where it was standing room only for a while. “It is so heartwarming; we have so many community members who volunteer,” said the Reverend Jamie York, minister of Trinity United Church, Hastings. “You hope in the future you can do away with food banks but it doesn’t look like something that is a possibility and so we continue to rely on the wonderful generous helpful donations of volunteers from our community and surrounding area that support the food bank in many ways,” he added. Volunteers served the menu of Moroccan foods while musical entertainment was provided by the East Wind Band, the Campbell brothers and Ron Barbe on guitar. Creative dance performances by the Firelights Community Bellydance Group added colour and a festive atmosphere to the evening. “We didn’t expect this many people. It’s standing room only, so we’re putting more tables out,” said organizer Elaine Dean, as the guests arrived. She was kept busy flitting about the hall making sure everything was running smoothly. More than a dozen food bank volunteers were on hand to help as well. For Dean this was actually the fourth ethnic dinner she has organized in the community, the others were fund raisers for Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church which provides the building on Victoria that houses the food bank at no cost. “The meal is free but we are asking for free will donations,” said Dean.

Adjudicator says OMB case could could divide community
By Sue Dickens
EMC News - Campbellford - The fate of a 24-unit affordable housing project now rests in the hands of Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) adjudicator Jan Seaborn who has to make a decision after hearing two days of testimony on what some say has become a controversial issue for this town. As far as residents on King and First streets are concerned, the fate of their neighbourhood is at risk. “I don’t like to see cases like this to end up dividing the community,” Seaborn said as the hearing wrapped up last week. “I would also like to say
everyone did their best job,” she added, reserving her judgement on the matter. At issue are two zoning bylaws affecting property for the Valley Green Homes Housing Project operated by Bloor Park Village Inc. “The ten appellants are not objecting to affordable housing. They are concerned about an overwhelming change to the nature of their neighbourhood,” said Alan Appleby, who spoke on their behalf. Appleby is an environmental planning specialist and owner of Trent Valley Consulting. “The issue is not development. In 2009 there were seven single-family home sized lots created on
the west side of King Street where the proposed new development is to occur. None of the residents objected to that change in their neighbourhood because it was in keeping with the long time nature of the street,” he said in his opening remarks. Issues raised ranged from the funding process itself for the project and selection of the developer to the impact on the quality of life of residents in the affected area. Appleby noted, “Our case will be based in the laws and policies that the OMB is empowered to enforce, as well as in natural justice and common sense.” Andrea Connell, speak-
ing for herself and on behalf of the appellants said, “I am not opposed to development or construction in our neighbourhood,” and added, “I have many concerns in regards to the burden this development will impose on the quality of life for the members of our neighbourhood and in fact, on all of the residents of our town.” She cited areas of concerns such as the need for sidewalks for safety, sufficient emergency and maintenance accessibility and reasonable handicapped accessibility. Connell reiterated Appleby’s comments about a list of 25 conditions set out Please see “OMB” on page 5

Première raises $2,000 for Hastings food bank
Continued from page 1
Phyllis Leger of Campbellford was among those at the dinner. “I am here because we know Elaine Dean. She’s been with the food bank forever,” she commented,
as she carried her plate of Moroccan food to a nearby table. Janet and Paul Knight were there with neighbours Dan and Eleanor Kniffen and Marg Seaton.
Eleanor was busy serving the dinner alongside other volunteers. “We’re here to support the food bank,” said Janet quietly as she and her group waited patiently to line up
for the meal. In fact her local craft group donated two frogs they made to the fund-raising effort.
Brenda Kock, the food bank board’s president told EMC the day after the dinner, “It was a very success-
ful event where the community supported us magnificently. We raised over $2,000.”

Ultimate fishing street party in Hastings
By Bill Freeman
EMC News - Hastings Put on your dancing shoes, Hastings! The Hastings Environmental Committee and the Hastings Legion Branch 106 are hosting a street dance and barbeque September 15 to celebrate the village’s big Ultimate Fishing Town Canada victory this year and to officially launch the
committee’s $25,000 project submission campaign. In winning the World Fishing Network’s Ultimate Fishing Town 2012 title Hastings also claimed a $25,000 grand prize and the committee has developed an application program to use that money and wants to hear from aspiring and creative applicants. At the street dance the en-
vironmental committee will have information brochures and project idea submission applications, says chair Sharon Stoner. “Whether you have a $1,000 or a $25,000 community project idea, pick up your submission package before it’s too late,” says Stoner. Project applications will be accepted until November
1, 2012. The street dance is a fitting way for the community to celebrate the UTF victory because it was a thorough community effort that helped Hastings eclipse Port Colborne to claim the grand prize after a fourth-place finish in 2011. “The Ultimate Fishing Contest was a community win and we’d like to cele-
brate as a community,” says Stoner. During the online voting campaign Hastings supporters developed a strong partnership with Olcott Beach, New York, helping the waterfront community in western New York claim the American UFT title. The party at the Hastings Legion on Front Street West begins at 6 p.m. with a
barbeque rib dinner ($15 per plate) cooked by Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan along with delicious baked beans and cole slaw prepared by Banjo’s Grill. Entertainment will include the DJ talents of Jim Mclean followed by live performances from Aiden McGill (8 p.m.) and Old Skewl to close the night.

Development Fund (EODF) permanent. The EODF fund is for new businesses and expansion of existing businesses. “You have to produce a minimum of ten jobs,” the mayor explained. The bill itself has been the subject of a back and forth war of words reported by EMC and other media between the mayor and council and Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Rob Milligan. Trent Hills’ council voted to support a resolution in June circulated by the local Liberal riding association to local municipalities requesting support. MPP Milligan reacted with the statement, “Acting as a shill for one political party is totally at odds with the spirit of co-operation I have adopted in my dealings with all municipal councils.” Mayor Macmillan doesn’t see it that way, noting “There’s been accusations that it was a partisan slush fund where they only funded ridings that had a Liberal government.
The minority Liberal government was able to pass Bill 11 with the help of the NDP. “This Bill will make sure that [sort of thing] can’t happen because it will have local input on projects. There was an NDP amendment. This adds another level of security that will prevent that,” he explained. The bill also creates a similar fund in southwestern Ontario as a permanent government program, for another $20 million. The passing of Bill 11 means the mayor and council can look at the funding in terms of possible uses in Trent Hills. “We have projects in mind but we’ve got to check all the criteria first,” he told EMC. “We’re always looking for funds we can apply to and EODF is one of them,” he explained, noting that some of the projects being looked at include the Hastings field house, transformation of the former post office and municipal office in town into the Campbellford Cultural Continued on page 5
OMB case could could divide community vincial policy statement.” He spoke of council’s efforts to address the concerns of the residents. Peter Gesiarz, a housing consult with Tim Welch Consulting testified that, “the project has the support of local community groups, county council [Northumberland] and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing,” noting, “It is consistent with the planning act and policy statement for affordable housing.” In her summation Rogers told the court, “The evidence demonstrates the need for accessible affordable housing … conforms with the growth plan and county objectives of affordable housing and provincial policies of increased densities.” Rogers added, “There is always concern when there is change. There’s a lot of misunderstanding and confusion by the appellants. I hope this process will clear up some of this.” Recognizing there is a deadline for the project

funding looming, (September 30), the adjudicator said she is aware that “time is of the essence,” and will provide her decision as soon as possible. “Opposition has to do with the density of this project, which will contain as many people as are now living in the whole neighbourhood,” said Appleby in his summation. “It reflects the concerns of residents for the established use and enjoyment of

Centre and an initiative for a recreation and wellness centre. “You’ve probably heard me say it before. There’s no silver bullet for fixing economic development problems … there’s no cookie cutter approach so you need all sorts of tools in your toolbox for dealing with economic problems. This is just one more tool.” The mayor talked about how the EODF fund all started. “I was on the Eastern Ontario Warden’s caucus in
their homes. It mirrors their concerns that their property values will be negatively affected. It voices real concern for increases in taxes and utility rates as a result of the rebuilding of streets, water lines, sewer pipes, storm water conduits, electrical services and other potential costs. They are universally protective of the beautiful environment they live in including the water course and wetland that abuts their neighbourhood.”
2007 … we had some huge challenges that were specific to eastern Ontario so we created the Eastern Ontario Prosperity Plan,” he told EMC. “There was something like 22 recommendations to the province and one of them was to create a $20 million Eastern Ontario Development Fund,” he explained, noting that at that time (former Progressive Conservative leader) John Tory supported the creation of the EODF. “I was one of the 13 war-

Mayor Macmillan also mentioned that one of the next recommendations of the caucus will be that the minimum requirement for ten employees be lowered if there’s still money left on the table.

in the draft plan of subdivision, which they believe have not been met. One of those conditions is the need for a 30-metre setback from a “watercourse” on the property near the development. Appellants stated it is their position that the “swale” is protected under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. That was later disputed by legal counsel for Northumberland County. Appleby noted the setback has been adjusted to 20 metres now, as a result of discussions between the Municipality of Trent Hills and the Lower Trent Conservation Authority (LTCA). Authority Hazard Lands Program Co-ordinator Mike Lovejoy testified he is satisfied with the revised setback. Several of the residents took the stand to voice their concerns including Lawrence Cave who said, “We petitioned our community and every single household is absolutely opposed to this project.” Toward the end of his testimony he made a request to the adjudicator, “asking for consideration to appeal once the final plan has been approved.” “The devil is in the details,” he explained. Legal counsel for the developer, Susan Rogers, was joined by Wayne Fairbrother, counsel for the County of Northumberland. The project is a partnership between the county, the federal and provincial governments and the private sector under the auspices of the Canada Ontario Affordable Housing Program and would be a first for Trent Hills. Jim Peters, director of planning for Trent Hills, testified on behalf of the municipality, noting public meetings have been held and “higher densities are part of the pro-

Letters to the editor
Listen to Mayor Macmillan on this one
Dear Editor, In the beginning as I remember it, we were told that the “source water protection plan” costs would be negligible. Now, as reported in the EMC newspaper Glenda Rodgers is quoted as saying, “There are a lot of uncertainties around the costs.” I tend to believe this state-
ment. We find that Trent Hills has a lot of significant drinking water threats. Apparently we have 1,656 properties “with potentially significant drinking water system threats.” Then to the good part. Among other obvious risks we find that monitoring areas of livestock grazing or pasturing will be
necessary. Then to monitor all this we “will need to hire a Risk Management Official and Risk Management Inspector.” You do the math, but it seems that by now the costs are a little more than negligible. In fact they could be quite big. To fund this a num-
Dear Editor, The first year of reestablishing the Ontario Seniors Games in our district of Hastings, Prince Edward, Quinte West and Lennox and Addington has been a resounding success, according to the provincial executive board members. We started out with five or six people at our meetings in the summer of 2011 and have ended up with 127 paid members who participated in swimming, tennis, lawn bowling, golf, bid euchre, contract bridge, walking, cycling and shuffleboard. Members come from all areas within our District 10 such as Picton, Napanee, Frankford, Trenton, Madoc and Belleville. The Winter Games are our next project and we already have members ready to play men’s hockey and other games. New members have expressed an interest in creating new events such as pickleball and five-pin bowling for next year’s regional games and we are always open to any and all ideas to include in future
games. Membership fees are $10 per year to those over 55 years of age and all events are open from beginners to advanced. There were 1,300 participants from every part of Ontario who participated in the Provincial Summer Games held in Brampton this month and we are proud to say that 31 members from our district qualified to participate with great success. Bev Boyce won gold in ladies overall medley swimming. Barb Palmateer won silver in prediction swimming. Ken Wheeler won silver in golf (Callaway). Beth Cortland and Rona Sonenburg won silver in ladies tennis. James Taylor and Gerald d’Entremont won bronze in contract bridge. Stephanie Beare won bronze in prediction cycling. Karen and Ross Quanz won bronze in shuffleboard. Bill Bell was denied a win in cycling owing to a
technicality. We look forward to new members and more events in 2013 and ask those interested in having fun, keeping the mind and body active to call Peter Whitlock at 613-779-5855, as this will be my last official function as district co-ordinator. Those with computers and access to the Internet can find a wealth of information about us at <www. ontarioseniorsgames.ca>. Thank-you to all volunteers and municipal representatives who made this all possible and especially to our young volunteers, Jordana Laporte from Community Advocacy & Legal Centre and Mark MacDonald from Scotia McLeod Wealth Management, who donated so many hours without being able to participate in any events. It was fun and kept my mind and body active for the past year, which was sorely needed. All the best,
ber of suggestions were made. None directly mentioned meters on private wells. This may be a topic for the future. A couple of suggestions. Perhaps we should
find ways to stop municipalities dumping raw sewage into the waterways. This I am sure could have an impact on drinking water quality. Another suggestion; listen to Mayor Macmillan
when he says, “I am not even convinced that Lower Trent should be the lead on this.” Thank-you Jim Orr, Warkworth
Municipality imposes Ontario Seniors Games a success “immediate” restrictions on water use
John Garrett, “Not the Hockey Player”
No way to treat kittens Dear Editor, I am usually not one to be writing to the paper, but quite recently something occurred on our road that was extremely cruel. We are used to the fact that some people continually dump their garbage along our road, especially at the south end of the 8th Line.
At the gate into our bush property this past year we have had everything from a pile of dead tame rabbits, bags of garbage, brush and leaves, human waste and pineapples. But what my grandsons found was unimaginable; at our bush gate someone abandoned a litter of kittens about one-

EMC News - Havelock Faced with ongoing low water level conditions, township council has passed a bylaw imposing “immediate” restrictions to preserve the water supply within the municipal water system. “We’ve been watching the levels in the wells and they’ve been dropping; it has become fairly significant in the last little while,” Peter Deshane, the township’s manager of infrastructure told councillors Tuesday morning. Deshane said the municipality is “not at the point where we’re running out of water” but needs to maintain levels at a point where they do not get any worse. “I don’t see a lot of rain in the forecast; we are concerned they’ll continue to drop, particularly in [wells] four and one,” Deshane said. They have increased the amount of water from well three to 50 per cent and that has helped, he added. “In order to keep them from going completely dry we feel this is important.” The Crowe Valley Conservation Authority’s water response team announced a low water level two drought condition several weeks ago and the township has had some restrictions in place for the past three months

said. “I don’t want people to think that the village is running out of water. That is not what we’re saying here,” he added. Mayor Gerow said he has been keeping an eye on use of the Highway #7 water tap to “get a feel for what’s happening there. “There’s a lot of people taking a lot of water from over there,” he said, noting some of the users are township residents who need the water because their own private wells are low. “There has been some abuse about the amount of water people have been taking out of the system. I’m sure we’ll hear from some,” he said. “What we’re talking about here is striking a balance.” Small containers for personal drinking use are acceptable, not huge hundred gallon containers, said Councillor Jim Martin. “I don’t know if the answer is to shut it down because there are people who need it,” he said. “We’re all in this together.” “Put your hoses away and help conserve water.” Martin also wants the municipality to lead by example and cut its own basket and flower watering by half.

but the bylaw takes those restrictions further with a complete ban on watering lawns and gardens, washing cars (unless by a licensed car wash) and other “non-mandatory watering.” The exception to the complete ban is hand watering of flower pots and hanging baskets. Residents who flout the bylaw will have a $50 surcharge added to their water bills. The issue of the community water tap on Highway #7 loomed large in the discussion; it’s not addressed through the bylaw but in a motion directing staff to reduce water flow to the tap; use will be restricted to the taking of drinking water only, and only during business hours. An “appropriate” sign will be posted near the tap explaining the low water conditions and restricted use of that water source. Staff will monitor tap use and will have the authority to act further if it’s abused. Mayor Ron Gerow stressed that there is no need for residents to “panic.” “I want to be very clear about what we’re talking about here; there are deteriorating levels in some of our wells and we are asking for restricted use but at no time is there a situation here for people to panic,” Gerow

The underpants option Some countries are never happy
EMC Editorial “A defeatist position [in Afghanistan] is not possible for us. We cannot leave in our underpants … or without any.” That was Mikhail Gorbachev addresssenior Soviet Gwynne Dyer ing officers in 1987, two years before the Soviets pulled out. Two years before NATO pulls out, the same frantic search is under way for something that could be called a victory, or at least “peace with honour.” Meanwhile, NATO soldiers die, together with many more Afghans. The French are smart: all their troops will be gone from Afghanistan by the end of this year. The Canadians were even smarter: almost all their troops left last year. But the rest of the NATO countries dumbly soldier on toward the scheduled departure date of 2014, even though the situation is clearly spinning out of control: one-quarter of the 48 Western troops killed in Afghanistan this August were murdered by Afghan government soldiers. The most striking thing about these so-called “green-on-blue” killings, according to a 2011 Pentagon analysis reported by Bloomberg, is that only 11 per cent of them are the result of infiltration by the Taleban. Most of them are because of grudges or disputes between coalition and Afghan army troops, which suggests that NATO’s current focus on training Afghan forces to “stand up” on their own is just as futile as all its previous strategies. Last year a team of U.S. Army psychologists investigated the nature of these grudges and quarrels, conducting interviews with dozens of American and Afghan focus groups. Their report, “A Crisis of Trust and Cultural Incompatibility”, concluded that the Afghan troops see the American soldiers as “a bunch of violent, reckless, intrusive, arrogant, self-serving, profane infidel bullies hiding behind high technology.” The U.S. troops, in return, generally view their Afghan allies as “a bunch of cowardly, incompetent, obtuse, thieving, complacent, lazy, pot-smoking, treacherous and murderous radicals.” This does not constitute the foundation for a successful collaboration. The view of the Afghan soldiers is more positive, despite all that, than the
civilian population’s attitude toward the foreign forces. A poll conducted in late 2010 by the Afghan Centre for Socio-Economic Research reported that nearly 60 per cent of civilians wanted all the foreign soldiers gone within a year. Forty per cent would still want the foreigners out even if their departure meant that the violence got worse. \Yet less than ten per cent of Afghans, according to the same poll, actually want to see the Taleban back in power. They are not being inconsistent. They just don’t buy the standard Western line that only the foreign occupation has kept the Taleban and their alleged al-Qaeda allies from returning to power. There is some evidence the Taleban themselves don’t really believe that either. They remember that even when a Taleban government ruled in Kabul in 1996-2001, they never succeeded in extending their authority to the northern parts of the country where the non-Pashtun minorities live—and taken together, those minorities account for 60 per cent of the population. He may be wrong about that. His assumption is that after the foreigners leave the Afghan army, which is overwhelmingly recruited from the nonPashtun groups, will break apart into the same Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara militias that thwarted the Taleban’s drive to control all of Afghanistan after the Soviets left. But those ethnic militias no longer exist, and their former commanders have grown fat and corrupt in the service of the foreigners. It might prove impossible to rebuild them fast enough to thwart a post-occupation drive by the Taleban to seize the whole country—although they would probably be unable to hold the non-Pashtun areas in the long run. The Taleban have won their war against the foreign occupiers, but they probably won’t win a decisive victory in the civil war that follows. And the only remaining way that the foreigners could still influence the outcome would be to dump their puppet president, Hamid Karzai, and start rebuilding the ethnic militias now. They won’t do that, so their continued military presence over the next two years is irrelevant to the ultimate outcome. And public opinion in Afghanistan is turning against them so fast that they might still end up leaving without their underpants.
Letter to the editor
The demand for biofuels is one piece of the puzzle
Dear Editor, Regarding the letter sent in by Francis MacDonald criticising Mr. Dyer regarding his comments inferring that “population growth coupled with adverse effects of global climate change is driving up corn and wheat prices, eventually leading to the starvation of the poorest.” Francis took exception to this and stated, “The facts do not bear this out” and claims that the demand for biofuels (ethanol) is responsible for driving grain prices up. I would like to refer to recent comments from the World Bank which state that: “Food costs are at record levels again and that prices are one per cent higher than the previous peak in February 2011. Prices for maize and wheat increased by 25 per cent and soybeans went up by 17 per cent between June and July.” Much of the concern comes from the ongoing drought in the U.S. and parts of Europe. The U.S. is the world’s primary supplier of maize and soybeans and in July nearly three quarters of U.S. maize crop was officially rated very poor to fair. Oxfam is currently stating that it has started to see
“the devastating impact of food price volatility in the developing countries that rely on food imports.” Lester Brown, a long-time advocate of the Earth Policy Institute, commented that while the impact of demand for biofuels has been widely felt on grain stocks in recent years, particularly leading to the economic collapse in 2008, Brown suggested that this demand is already starting to decline. I don’t pretend to know all these facts myself, I simply came across this information while reading the news. While there is still controversy regarding how global warming is affecting the global climate there are numerous sources that state that some of the impacts include more dramatic weather patterns such as storms and droughts. I don’t believe that linking “global climate change” to the droughts in the U.S. and the effects on health and well being of millions is too much of a stretch by Mr. Dyer. I certainly can’t lay the blame entirely on biofuels. Regards, James Erskine, Belleville
By Terry Bush EMC Editorial - Israel is furious with the U.S. again. No surprise there as we’ve been hearing those sentiments expressed on a regular basis with an American election looming just around the corner. Funny the things that get some countries upset. While checking out news from around the world on the weekend, I came across this headline, “Israeli Vice-PM: US ‘Undermining’ push for Iran war.” Now doesn’t this sound a little strange? Most nations on earth do everything they can to avoid war and the ensuing loss of life. The U.S. has been the exception to the rule keeping itself quite busy lately fighting wars in five or six different countries, some well-known like Afghanistan and Iraq, some not. Any word that the Americans are perhaps using their heads instead of their weapons should be music to the ears of many countries including the U.S.’s faithful allies. So why on earth would Israel, a country that receives billions of dollars each year in U.S. tax dollars, along with the world’s most sophisticated weaponry and a get out of jail free card every time the word Israel is uttered at the UN Security Council, be complaining once again about its stalwart benefactor? Well, the Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, doesn’t want to be blamed for Bibi Netanyahu’s stupidity and he said as much last week. He knows an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities would only set Iran’s nuclear program back half a year while igniting a massive regional conflict. He also knows, as does Israel, that Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapons program. So what would be the end result of an Israeli attack on Iran? The U.S. would be forced to clean up the mess inspiring even more anti-American hatred abroad. Iran would drop out of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, kick out the inspectors and do their damnedest to create a nuclear weapon so nobody would ever attack them again. No country wants to be a sitting duck. “I don’t want to be complicit if they [Israel] choose to do it,” Dempsey was quoted as saying by Britain’s Guardian newspaper on Friday. The Israelis were really put off by one word the general used, “complicit.” The connotations of the word lead one to believe that joining an attack on a sovereign nation might somehow be an illegal act, which of course it is. It’s not enough that Israel possesses an arsenal of nuclear weapons and a variety of means to deliver them. It wants the U.S. to do its dirty work or at least back them up. Funny how the mainstream press never comes out and says Israel should be relieved of their weapons of mass destruction. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also come out swinging at the international community for not having threatened Iran more often. Time has run out for diplomacy Bibi proclaims. It’s time to attack. Netanyahu really seems to have a fondness for biting the hands that feed him. We’ve heard over and over again that Israel is planning an attack in the next two months just in time to royally screw up the upcoming November election. Bibi would love to box Obama into a corner and force him to come to Israel’s rescue in an effort to appease Jewish voters (and wealthy contributors) in the U.S. And if Obama didn’t respond, even better. Bibi’s newest best friend, Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney is willing to do pretty much anything Bibi tells him too. Attack Iran, why not? Have the price of oil skyrocket around the world? Sure, as long as Israel retains its nuclear hegemony in the Middle East, it’s a small price for the world to pay. Bankrupt the U.S. with another war? Well, they can always keep the presses running to print off a few more trillion dollars. Bomb Iran and see fanatics set their sights on Europe? Well, what has Europe done for us lately? Benjamin Netanyahu is willing to see hundreds of thousands of innocent people die throughout the Middle East to achieve his goals. Can you imagine how many innocent Iranians would perish from having a nuclear power plant bombed in the area where they reside? Does anyone really know just how far the fallout would drift or where? Now just who is the crazy one here, Netanyahu or Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Ahmadinejad holds no real power in his country; he’s mostly a figurehead despite what the corporate media says. Netanyahu is a different story. Obama has so far managed to keep his distance from Netanyahu’s wild fantasies. After all, there’s an election to win. If Obama is successful in his quest to return to the Oval Office, Netanyahu may have a few more problems on his hands. A president with four years to solidify his legacy might just take the time to deal with the Palestinian problem and earn his Nobel Peace Prize. He might even get around to fulfilling some of the promises he made to the Muslim world when first elected. And he might just work up enough nerve to tell Israel to go take a hike and make peace with its neighbours. The groundwork is already there. Arab nations are more than willing to make peace with Israel if the Palestinians are given a state and Israel pulls back to the 1967 borders. For years, the Arab League has had a document ready and waiting for Israel to sign. But that will never happen because Israel will never relinquish the land it occupies or the water it takes from the Palestinians because right wing members of the current coalition government would never allow it. And so, because he won’t do everything he’s told to do, Barak Obama is vilified as no friend of Israel. One of the few countries left that never questions Israel for what it does right or wrong is Canada. And that could prove to be a real problem down the road. We don’t really need to be on anyone’s top ten list for retribution if Israel attacks Iran. The Americans are starting to realize this. It’s time the Harper government did the same. Another war in the Middle East isn’t good for anyone, Israel included. Northwest EMC - Thursday, September 6, 2012

EMC News - Campbellford - The sunlight gleams off the spire of St. Mary’s Church in the distance, as members and invited guests gather for a picnic alongside the Trent River to celebrate the ongoing fund raising for the steeple and bell tower restoration. “The idea for a picnic came out through discussions by our fund-raising committee,” said Father Jean-Pierre Pilon. “It’s time we have something fun that brings people together. The fund raising R00THE
is a hopeful byproduct but the main purpose today is to get the parish together … and not only the parish but the whole community,” he added. An open invitation to the picnic which was held at Lions Park Beach was made to nearby churches. On this day a group of children gathered with Father Pilon to prepare for their skit which was to be part of the celebration. “This is a feast day, a celebration of the birth of St. John the Baptist, who was later beheaded,” commented
Maureen Dikun, an active member of the church and the fund-raising committee. A cake with the head of St. John the Baptist was under wraps to be unveiled later during the picnic celebration. “This is the most beautiful church and we want it to remain beautiful and be here for the parishioners in town,” she added, while talking about the fund-raising committee’s progress. To date $100,000 has been raised. James McKay, chair of the church’s finance committee,

told EMC earlier this year that the first priority was to stop the rain from leaking into the building. Estimates range upward to as much as $500,000 for the church’s complete restoration which includes repair and restoration of the stained glass windows. Tom Plue, owner of SkyHigh Restoration, was at the picnic and talked about the work he has been hired to do. “So far we have rebuilt louvres for the tower and they are on display in the church,” he told EMC. “They are monstrous measuring ten and a-half feet by six and a-half feet by twelve inches in thickness. It takes four guys to carry them, they are that big.” The louvres, located just below the spire, ventilate the church. “We’ve also done about $25,000 worth of exterior masonry work to the bell tower, to try and slow the water leak,” he added. Water has been leaking into the church for decades. Renowned historic restoration architect Peter Stokes offered his appraisal of the situation touring the church several months ago, with Plue, prior to work beginning on its restoration. “This building is a significant historical landmark in Campbellford and should be looked at as one of the biggest community restoration

A prayer-a-thon held earlier this year was very successful as one of many fundraising events which have been held, and many more are planned. “It is also a way to bring people into the church,” said Maureen Dikun, who raised $800 for that event. It seemed fitting that the power of prayer would be followed by another fundraising event, a picnic, she said with a grin. A second prayer-a-thon will be held September 14 and it takes place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. As well 30 T-shirts were donated by Snapshots of Campbellford and they have been sold to raise money. The T-shirts are still available at the retail outlet or at the church. As well a cookbook organized by Patsy Copperthwaite and the fund-raising committee has been sold. It is made up of recipes from parishioners and is still available. Other fund-raising events have included a Harvest supper, a giant yard sale. More events will be held and announced as they are planned.

projects ever undertaken in Campbellford, and should be given support by the whole community, and not looked at as a ‘Catholic’ landmark,” he told EMC. Located in the third oldest parish in the county of Northumberland, Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, dates to 1850. The original church in Campbellford built in 1862-1864 burned to the ground in 1899 and the following year a new church was erected. The first renovations were done in 1985 followed by a lot of “patchwork” over the past seven years. For Father Pilon the work has special meaning. “A bell tower is a symbol of something that is not experienced by the senses. It is something that calls our attention to something higher up. And even people who don’t go in the church react to it in some manner or another,” he said. “Bells in Catholic churches are meant to call to worship and so they are calling to something that goes on in the church,” he added, noting, “We haven’t rung them for over two years for fear of damaging the structure further.” “The day the renovations are all done they will be ringing all day.” Members of the fundraising committee who are continuing in their efforts
has taken his firearm and hunter safety courses can attest. The show hours are Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Havelock Arena is at 39 George Street East, just north of Highway #7. If you are westbound on Highway #7 through Havelock, exit left onto Mary

Tweed Studio Tour continuing its long run By Richard Turtle
1998, turned into a growing annual event. It all started, she says, when a rural magazine featured a centrefold map marking regional tours, “and there was a big hole in the middle where Tweed was and we decided to fill it.” And the Tweed Studio Tour was born. Ross moved to the area in 1985 working for six years as a professional painter before stepping into semi-retirement in part to promote the work of other artists.
“We’ve never had to advertise since,” she says of the first Studio Tour which has usually featured about two dozen artists’ works in
various media ranging from photography to textiles and paintings to ceramics and glass. The 15th Annual Tweed

EMC News - Stirling Marking its 15th anniversary this year, The Tweed and Area Studio Tour won’t be opening until the end of the month but several pieces from participating artists are currently on display at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library art gallery. “I can’t believe that, you know,” says tour organizer Audrey Ross of the years that have passed since that first artistic experiment in
Audrey Ross, pictured with her painting created during a Pelham art show, is one of 20 artists participating in this year’s Tweed Studio Tour. A selection of work for participating artists is currently on display at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library art gallery. Photo: Richard Turtle
Studio Tour includes the work of 20 artists displayed in 13 venues in the immediate area. Work presented in the library gallery includes pieces from about ten different artists, with brochures available providing a map and details of the September 29 and 30 arts event. Many artists are familiar through numerous summer exhibitions including Art in the Park in Tweed, Ross says, but there will be much more to see when more than a dozen studios open both days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Artists included alongside Ross on the tour this year are painter Heidi MacDonald, weaver Anne Buckley and guest artist and jewellery maker Kathryn MacDonald, potters Pam and Jeph Brown, and guest artists Ann
Fales and Lynda Pauk, Olde World Santa creator Shirley Ivison, “The Carpent-her” Linda Yorke, pastel artist Sue Vander Wey, photographer Emily Vander Wey, fabric artist Marta Mouka, glassmaker Lucie KovarovaWeir, painter Suzanne Cavers and guest artist Sue Eagles, painter Ed Tidman and photographer Pauline Weber and guest artist Jilleen Jones. The Tweed Heritage Centre and Museum will host artists Jack White and Jean Finlayson. The first Studio Tour show featured at the library gallery, says curator Liz Coxwell, was back in 2001 before its third edition.

Wooden wonders featured at The Gates By Ray Yurkowski
�������������������
�������
EMC News - Brighton - A hydro-free lathe and lifelike wooden carvings were featured last week at a special one-day show at Brighton Arts Council headquarters, The Gates. Cars were lined up on both sides of Presqu’ile Parkway as curious passers-by, on their way to and coming from Presqu’ile Provincial Park, stopped to have a look at Murray Lincoln’s springpole lathe. Said to be one of the earliest woodworking machines, the first written record of the spring-pole lathe was in 1390. “But it goes way further back than that,” says Lincoln. He recalls a show at Buckhorn, where he had his primitive lathe set up as a demonstration. “A couple came by and they were snapping a lot of pictures,” he said. “The guy said, ‘You just saved me $40,000.’ They bought a cabin back in
�������������
the bush. She was a potter and he was working with a lathe and that’s how much it would have cost to get hydro installed.” Since posting a video on YouTube, he’s had people worldwide contact him, asking for the plans. “But you just make it what you want,” he said. “There’s no measurements, you just make according to your size.” Is there a renaissance in going back to old-world craftsmanship? “People are finding a new joy in putting themselves into a piece,” said Lincoln. “There’s a joy in picking it up and doing the old craft thing. Each one of the woodcarving guilds in our area has one or two guys in it who have gone back to try it again. They love the hands-on feeling.” Inside, woodcarver Bert Small presented his real versus carved art display. A few hats and a quilt were lined up with their genuine
counterparts, fooling more than one who attended the show. But the pick of the collection was a jacket, freehand carved out of basswood, as a memorial to the one he owned when he piloted gliders. “I’ve had more than 600 flights in gliders and I wanted to preserve the old jacket be-
cause it was falling apart,” he explained. And it was the forerunner of an art form. How does Small feel when people can’t pick out what’s real and what’s carved out of wood? “I like it when that happens,” he said. “It’s sort of a pat on the back.

History comes alive at the dry stone wall workshop
By Sue Dickens
EMC News - Campbellford - Leaving no stone unturned while teaching, John Shaw-Rimmington talks about the Dry Stone Walling Across Canada training course, calling it “Thinking With My Hands.” About a dozen students attended the two-day workshop at Ferris Provincial Park held Labour Day weekend, during which they completed nearly 30 feet of dry stone wall. The workshop is hosted by Friend of Ferris and this was the fourth year for what has become a popular event at the park. “I am a person who builds dry stone walls and thinks a lot about how to get other people discovering what a satisfying occupation it can be,” says Shaw-Rimmington in his blog. He is the founder and president of Dry Stone Walling Across Canada, <www.dswa. ca>, and “an avid supporter of the idea of sharing knowledge
freely and learning from others.” On the first day of the workshop he was busy explaining the process and the tools to be used when resurrecting a stone wall. “The whole thing about a wall is it grabs you because it’s taking thousands of random pieces of material and turning it into one unit, one geometric piece of architecture,” he told his students who were gathered around the wall in the day use area of Ferris Park. One of those students, Loreen James, of Frankford, told EMC, “My landscaper suggested I take this course and thought I would enjoy it because I work with a lot of stone in my gardens.” A fellow student Virginia Campbell from Stirling commented, “I am taking the course because I’d like to do some stonewalling on my own property … I have tons of rock and I love the look of it.”
Neither woman had ever done anything like this before. Carol Robertson of Friends of Ferris was on site as well. She organized the workshop which had attracted people this year from as nearby as Colborne and Picton and from as far away as Brantford and Toronto. “We are featuring this as a demonstration so people can come and see the improvements in the park,” she told EMC. Barb Hogan, president of Friends of Ferris, has been at every workshop. “I find each time it’s emotional because of the history and what it took for the original people to build these walls back then and then to have people to see it come back to life … it’s amazing,” she commented. The park features a network of old stone walls that crisscross the landscape and were built between 1873 and 1892. “These walls with the flat stones are over 100 years old and were built by John Clark, the Scottish caretaker of the Ferris property,” explained Robertson. “These walls were often four feet wide at the base and could have been five feet high. Over the years they have settled, rocks have been removed, and they have deteriorated. That’s why we are working with Shaw-Rim-
Loreen James of Frankford, left, works alongside fellow student and stone wall restoration enthusiast Virginia Campbell, of Stirling, as they use what they have learned at the dry stone walling workshop to help restore a portion of the network of 100-year-old walls in Ferris Park.

mington to restore them and highlight their historic significance and beauty.” For Hogan it’s also about the ancestry and history of the park. “John always talks about the fact that they are living walls and a living part of history. Some of the rocks on the bottom of these walls haven’t been touched for 100 years … and to see these people come back and restore it … you can tell there’s a little bit of the presence of Ferris family and the descendants,” she said.

TRAVEL
Cycling British Columbia’s awesome Myra Canyon By John M. Smith
EMC Lifestyles - One of the most spectacular cycling routes in all of Canada has to be the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, in south-central British Columbia. It’s a former rail line that has been converted into a multi-use recreational path, and it’s an integral part of the Trans Canada Trail. The trail forges through harsh wilderness, rugged mountains, blasted rock, thick forests, near-desert terrain, and immense canyons, so the scenery is magnificent and the cycling incredible. And the best, most popular section of this awesome route is located near Kelowna, for it takes the cyclist through the eye-popping magnificence of Myra Canyon! I rode this section, known as the “Myra Canyon Trestle Tour,” with Joe Kyle, of Monashee Adventure Tours, and this rather short but breathtaking adventure trek took me over 18 spectacular trestles and through two blasted rock tunnels. The round trip is only about 20 kilometres in total—but what a ride! As I crossed the towering trestles, I noticed my hands gripped the handlebars more tightly, for I was suspended precariously above the canyon, and it was rather scary. Joe told me these trestles are a real challenge for visitors
There are 18 spectacular trestles along this route.
who dislike heights, and “some have to walk across, or be carefully led across each trestle.” However, Joe went on to say these trestles are far safer now than they used to be. “Some of the trestles were in rather bad shape, through disrepair and vandalism, so these were truly ‘white-knuckle’

crossings back then, and many of the bridges didn’t even have handrails, so they were rather dangerous, open crossings.” Joe went on to tell me that the province purchased this rail corridor by 1990, and that by 1992, a “Myra Canyon Trestle Restoration Society” was formed. This group of volunteers, led by Director Ken Campbell, vowed to improve the trestles for visitor safety, so boardwalks, to cover open trestle ties and timbers, and guard rails, to prevent going “over the edge,” were added, and these improvements led, of course, to increased use by cyclists and hikers. By January of 2003, this section of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail was designated a National Historic Site. I’d actually hoped to ride this famous section a few years ago but, unfortunately, in August of 2003, a devastating forest fire destroyed much of this canyon area, including 12 of the 18 trestles! It had saddened me at the time, and I’d wondered if I’d missed my opportunity to ever ride here! Through the efforts of dedicated volunteers, generous donations, and the involvement of various levels of government, funds were eventually raised, and the trestles were all miraculously rebuilt (at a cost of several million dollars). It’s
as if these trestles had been reborn, phoenix-like, out of the ashes! The “new” Myra Canyon portion of the trail was officially

at Myra Station, in Kelowna’s Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park (a day-use park), and this avoided a very steep climb by bike from downtown Kelowna. I soon discovered the cycling on this particular trail was actually surprisingly easy, for it was on a relatively flat and hard packed gravel rail-bed, with several benches and explanatory signs and some incredible lookout points. I learned much about the history of the rail line during this cycling excursion. The core portion of the Kettle Valley Railroad had run between Midway (Mile “0” of the trail) and Hope, through the Okanagan Valley, and it was constructed in the early 1900s, after silver had been discovered near Nelson. The rail line was, indeed, a very challenging transportation route to build through the mountainous terrain, but it was begun in 1910, to connect the Kootenays and the BC coast, and engineer Andrew McCullough completed this extraordinary feat by 1915. It soon became known as “McCullough’s Wonder,” for there were so many tunnels and trestles required. It was also evident that Mc-
Joe Kyle cycles across one of the new post-fire trestles.
Cullough himself was very fond of Shakespeare, for he named many of the stations along the Coquihalla section of the route after Shakespearean characters, including Romeo and Juliet, Lear, Portia, and Iago. He also named a particularly challenging series of tunnels, in the Coquihalla Gorge, Cape Cod - September 10-14/12 “Othello Tunnels,” where St. Jacobs - Saturday, September 15/12 a quintet of tunnels, interInternational Plowing Match - Wednesday, September 19/12 twined with several bridges, War Horse - Saturday, September 22/12 were built through the sheer Credit Valley Explorer - Wednesday, September 26/12 Agawa Canyon, Mackinaw & Frankenmuth - Sept 26-Oct 1/12 granite cliffs.

Adjacent to the grandstand, renowned voyageur Bob Abrames, who has travelled many miles along historic fur trade routes in his canoe, set up camp where all could get an understanding of the life of a voyageur. The arena, which provided a respite from the

As well, a number of vendors set up displays offering handcrafted items, baked goods, jewellery, beauty supplies and more.

Cheers for the drivers and oohs over the noisy crashes could be heard above the din of revving engines and metal on metal. Blades of Glory, a company designed to both educate and entertain, attracted a number of people to their first Marmora Fair performance held at noon on Saturday.

As President Kent Knox said midway through the end of summer event, “It’s been great. The attendance was up over last year; the demolition derby was definitely better and there were more vendors.” He mentioned the equestrian events as well as the horse and pony draws which were under way in the background, commenting that there were more horses entered than there had been last year. In a message contained in the fair book, Knox thanked the “dedicated members that volunteer countless hours of their time and effort to make this fair a successful event.” He invited all to “have a great time,” which

Pretty pigeons make perfect pals By Kate Everson
EMC Lifestyles - Bayside - Jeff Waite of Bayside has been the bird man at the Quinte Exhibition for 35 years. He takes care of the cages of chickens, roosters, pigeons and fancy fowl that come to the Ex each year for display. He has about 30 pigeons at his hobby farm and brings his favourites to the show. “This Voorburg Cropper is a champion,” he says holding up the white pigeon that is all puffed up with
pride. His granddaughter Hannah Waite O’Neill likes pigeons too. She has won a few “junior champions” with her pets. “I like the chicks,” she says smiling and snuggling up to a fluffy yellow chick from the incubator. Jeff takes his prize pigeons to shows all over, including Woodstock where pigeon lovers flock to see an array of over 3,000 pigeons. “There are all different
breeds,” he says. “My uncle had them and my dad had them. Some eat them, but I just keep them for show birds.” He feeds them corn pellets and milo and grit to help them lay. The hens lay two eggs which take 14 days to hatch. In two months the
chicks are ready to eat on their own. Before that, the hen feeds them by regurgitating the food. The pigeons breed in the summer, but in the winter they rest in a chicken coop with plastic on it. They get fed buckwheat to keep them warm.

EMC News - Belleville Levi Caya from Peterborough area was one of the exhibitors at the Quinte Exhibition recently, displaying his chain saw carvings on the grass. “I’ve been doing this for ten years,” he said, carving into another large piece of wood on the ground. “My grandfather taught me. He was a wood carver of birds.” He also learned about wood from his high school co-op placement and has always loved the art.
“I have a respect for the tools,” he added. He uses special carving chain saws with dime tips, a die grinder and Dremel tools. His girlfriend Miranda Timble from Havelock area helps out by staining the wood after it is carved. Levi had a large display of his work including native faces and eagles, and wood
spirits carved into trees. “I get ideas from carving magazines,” he said. “I spend a few hour on each piece.” Levi likes to work on site, carving right into a standing tree that has been cut off at the top. “I go all over the place,” he said, “Muskoka to Lindsay.” Local carver Jody Spencer
from Plainfield just started using a chain saw three months ago. He watched Levi work and said he appreciated learning from the best. He won a first place at the exhibition with his carved bear, using woodburning for more detail on the fur. “I use a woodburner to give it that extra look,” he said.

An evening you will not forget!
Gallery hosts tour for the visually impaired EMC News - Brighton At first glance, an event for the visually impaired last week at Brighton Arts Council (BAC) headquarters, The Gates, seems to be an unlikely match. It’s an attempt at making art accessible to everyone says BAC president Ron Waddling. “Very much so,” he said. “The Brighton Arts Council wants to share our talent with the entire community and that includes the visually impaired.” Waddling says he’s seen similar programs in other galleries throughout the world. A program in New York City, “Art Beyond Sight,” invites gallery staff to become trained in helping people who are visually impaired experience art. “These are not unique ideas but, at the same time, to be able to apply them here is important,” said Waddling. The groundbreaking program was a joint venture by the BAC and Community Care. The VIP (visually impaired people) group meets once a month at the Brighton Community Care office. Started as an eight-week program sponsored by the CNIB, the group has been meeting on their own since and, this month, will celebrate their tenth anniversary. “Our thrust is to help people be independent in the community,” said Community Care program co-ordinator Judy Murtha. “As people lose their sight, it’s a problem for them to continue the normal dayto-day things everybody else does such as an art gallery. It’s nice that we have the opportunity to be a part of something like this and have a positive effect.” Visually impaired doesn’t always mean blind says VIP facilitator Liz Riel. There are varying degrees.
“A lot of people think you’re either blind or you can see,” she said, adding there is only one member of the group that is totally blind. “Most of us have age-related macular degeneration [which, according the CNIB, is the leading cause of vision loss in Canada].” In his address to the group, Waddling explained how The Gates is an opportunity “to share different aspects of the arts.” “Brighton has a pedigree in the arts that goes back many, many years,” he told the group, explaining how BAC went from “five innovative thinkers” about seven years ago, to about 200 members today. “We look forward to book and poetry readings, musicians, theatrical rehearsals, and much more at The Gates.” Waddling then gave the VIP participants an in-depth description of various works in the gallery. As well as the art, the group had an opportunity to stroll through the eightacre grounds at the site.

games and will certainly add to the excitement for everyone watching and cheering in Northumberland/Quinte West.” Bouckley, a student at Port Hope High School, will be extremely busy competing in no fewer than seven swimming events including the 200-metre individual medley; 50-metre, 100-metre and 400-metre freestyle as well as the 100-metre backstroke; 100-metre breaststroke and the 100-metre butterfly. He trains with the Whitby Dolphins Club. Pettey now trains and lives in Brampton and is one of Canada’s most distinguished Paralympians. Along with his Sydney silvers in the shot put and discus and Beijing bronze in the shot put Kyle places sixth in the javelin in 2000, fifth in the discus and ninth in the shot in Athens. He was tenth in the discus in Beijing and is hoping to find the touch that led him to glory in Australia. Pettey made history in 2010 when he became the first Canadian Paralympian to win a gold medal at a Commonwealth Games which includes some events for athletes with disabilities. His throw at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi broke his own F34 shot put world record at the time. Kyle trains with the Cruis-

Placentia Bay is celebrating its 350th anniversary this year and the players got to see the French cannons overlooking the town which were used to protect the habitants from the British. Everyone was treated to superb Newfie hospitality, worth a gold medal in itself.

Thick-billed Kingbird a rare find at Presqu’ile Park By Ray Yurkowski
EMC News - Brighton A bird never before seen in these parts was observed last week at Presqu’ile Provincial Park. Defined by most of the bird-watching community as a “mega-rarity,” a Thick-billed Kingbird was spotted by local birder Bill Gilmour on August 28. Gilmour was riding his
bicycle looking for nighthawks when he heard an unusual call. “I didn’t recognize it all,” he said. “It was like a goldfinch on steroids. When I heard it, I knew it was something I didn’t know.” A scan of the nearby trees revealed the rare find. The call went out local enthusiasts followed
by a post on OntBirds, the Ontario Field Ornithologists’ (OFO) email bulletin that notifies birders of interesting bird sightings in the province. Thanks to the electronic age, posts can be updated right away. What makes this variety of bird so unusual at Presqu’ile? The Thick-billed Kingbird is a flycatcher native

to Mexico with a tiny population just barely reaching southern Arizona. According to local naturalist and guide Doug McRae, “there are only a handful of records of strays in California with one north to southern British Columbia in 1974, the only previous Canadian record.” “There are no records east of the Mississippi [River] and there really aren’t any records east of Texas, so it’s just unprecedented,” he said. “The other thing that makes this sighting so unusual is it’s what we call a ‘shortdistance migrant.’ The Arizona birds only go 500 kilometres and most of the population doesn’t migrate, which is what makes it so unusual.”
How did the bird find its way to Presqu’ile? “It’s a complete mystery,” says McRae. “Some people may tell you, but they don’t know. There is no precedent.” Another point that makes the appearance such a mystery is the bird is an adult. Experts, who have seen photos, believe it’s an adult female. “Usually stray birds are young birds,” says McRae. “It’s a real puzzle as to what would make an adult bird fly to the other side of the world.” “This bird is really lost,” added Gilmour with a chuckle. By Thursday (August 30) morning, close to 400 people had seen the bird, including one fervent enthusiast who flew in from
Nova Scotia to witness the historic event. “It’s only the second one I’ve seen,” said Gilmour. “The first was 20 some-odd years ago in Arizona.” The first couple of days, the Thick-billed Kingbird was eating, mostly wasps and hornets, non-stop, reports Gilmour. “It was incredibly efficient,” he said. “It never missed.” “It’s the best bird that’s been in this park for the past 20 years,” said McRae. Of note, OFO will be celebrating their 30th anniversary this year at their annual convention at Presqu’ile, Cobourg and Prince Edward County September 14-16. Turn to page B3 for more photos.

Turtles hatch outside conservation office
EMC News - Marmora For a species designated as “special concern” in Ontario, 26 snapping turtles couldn’t have chosen a safer place to be born: the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority. Recently, while returning from their weekend, staff members discovered the 26 newborn reptiles hatching in the conservation authority’s garden, and helped the struggling species gain a few new additions. “I had never seen baby snapping turtles before” said Caroline Anshan, the newest staff member of the CVCA, “It’s amazing to have nature at your door-
step and to be able to help conserve the species.” The two-inch reptiles soon crawled out of their nest and scattered themselves over the front lawn and driveway looking for water. “It felt like an Easter egg hunt. They blended in with the gravel to the point that you could only spot them when they were moving,” staff member Vicki Woolfrey said. Once staff relocated the turtles to the river’s shoreline, the tiny creatures plunged into the water as if they had done it many times before. It will take 15 to 20 years for these snap-
ping turtles to reach maturity and grow into Canada’s largest freshwater turtle. The snapping turtle is an important part of the ecosystem because it helps keep lakes and rivers clean. Although they are known to eat both plants and other reptiles, 90 per cent of their food comes from dead plant and animal matter. Mature females generally lay their eggs from early to mid summer, after which, it takes approximately 80 days for them to hatch. The Snapping Turtle is designated as a special concern species under Ontario’s Endangered Species Act.

The 22nd annual Trenton Scottish Irish Festival all set to go By Kate Everson
EMC Events - Trenton This weekend, Centennial Park in Trenton will be filled with the sounds of Celtic music! Friday, September 7, gates will open at 6 p.m. for the third annual “Salute to the Troops” Tattoo. Massed Pipe Bands, Brass and Reed, Highland Dancers and some other special performers will take the field at 7:30 p.m. “It will be a spectacular show,” says chair Beth Cleaton. Colonel Sean Friday, Wing Commander of 8 Wing, will take the salute for the Tattoo. Upon the completion of the Tattoo get ready to sing and dance to the music of Poor Angus in the Festival Pavilion. Friday admission is $10 and includes Tattoo and performance by Poor Angus. Saturday, the major part of the Festival gets under way! It will be starting with a Parade of Bands through downtown Trenton at 10 a.m. “The parade will definitely get your blood stirring with the sound of the bands,” Cleaton says with a smile. Opening ceremonies will be at the park beginning at 11 a.m. Massed Bands take the field at 11:30 a.m. and all entertainment gets going on two stages at noon. “What a better way to spend your Saturday!” exclaims Cleaton.
Vendors galore will have everything Celtic to look at or buy, and food vendors will entice your palate. Take a look at the Heritage Centre/ Info Booth! Admission on Saturday is free but parking is $2. More live entertainment will be keeping the Festival Pavilion rocking with McGreevy and Hardman and Claidhmor. Heavy events athletes will take the field for the hammer throw, sheaf toss, the putt for distance and everybody’s favourite, the caber toss! Both female and male athletes are competing in the amateur events. The heavy events will also hold the second annual “Legends” Competition. The top professional heavy events athletes, names like Warren Trask, George Chiappa, Steve Clark, and 14 time World Record Holder Kevin Fast will compete to become the “Best of the Best.” “It will be an exciting time,” Cleaton says. The Trenton Scottish Irish Festival was honoured this year in becoming one of Ontario’s “Top 100” Festivals. “The Committee is very proud of that accomplishment.” says Cleaton. “A festival like this takes a lot of time, energy and funds to run every year.” Donations come in through the local businesses and the private

adds. “Let’s keep our festival growing!” Colleen Vickers, special events co-ordinator with the city of Quinte West, has been helping organize the event.
She notes that the bands include the award winning 8 Wing and 413 Wing Pipes and Drums, Oshawa Legion Pipe Band, Port Hope and District Royal Canadian Le-
gion Br. 30 Pipes and Drums, Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment Pipe band, Army Navy and Air Force Pipes and Drums, and the Rob Roy Pipe Band.

Hockeyville readying for Stanley Cup visit There will be plenty of activities for all ages, says Committee Chair Cindy Brandt of the September 30 celebrations that wrap up at 3 p.m., including a chance to get up close to Canada’s most celebrated trophy. Committee members also noted that village residents should be encouraged to begin decorating their lawns with Stanley Cup-themed displays, where prizes will be offered to some of the favourites. Deadline for displays is September 19. Brandt notes, however, that with the CBC arriving mid-month to do some filming it is hoped many displays will be completed in time for the earliest days of shooting. Prior to parade day, the committee has also planned a Monte Carlo Night at the Lions Hall on September 29 with the hopes of raising as much as $25,000 to go to the growing contributions for local arena renovations. A silent auction table will be set up with celebrity guests, DJ and Hockeyville volunteer dealers. This age of majority event will feature raffle prizes, appetizers and plenty of chances to win. Tickets are available at Rustic Routes in Stirling. Any sponsors or volunteers who participated in any Hockeyville event are also being encouraged to enter the draw for alumni

game tickets on September 30 in Stirling. Ballots will be available at the final day of submissions for the NHL game/practice with winners to be announced after the September 17 draw. The alumni game, says organizer Dave Brandt, will be begin at 7 p.m. and feature a full roster of ex-NHLers with local players Mike Brogee and Curtis Brandt in the nets. Behind the benches will be Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney and former player turned municipal councillor Grant Hagerman. As well, plans are well under way for a
pair of minor hockey clinics on October 1 and 2. Ladies Night tomorrow will feature food, fashion and a hypnotist as well as a DJ, zumba demonstra-
tion and a dance performance by recent Dance with the Stars contenders Darrin Heasman and Connie Reid. But committee members
agree there is still plenty of work to be done, and interested volunteers are being asked to contact Brandi Hodge at <brandilee6@ hotmail.com>.

Satisfaction with Dealership Service Plays an Important Role in Customers’ Vehicle Repurchase Intent in Canada, J.D. Power and Associates Reports Satisfaction with Dealership Service Plays an Important Role in
NAPA AUTOPRO Ranks Highest Customer Satisfaction Customers’ Vehicle Repurchase Intent inin Canada, J.D. Power and Associates Reports among Automotive Service Providers in Canada NAPA AUTOPRO Ranks Highest in Customer Satisfaction among Automotive Service Providers in Canada TORONTO: 15 August 2012 — In an ongoing battle for automotive customer loyalty, automakers may help build customer repurchase intent by offering a highly satisfying service experience, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Canadian Customer Commitment Index StudySM released today. The study measures the service behaviours, satisfaction and loyalty of owners of vehicles that are four to 12 years old. Overall customer satisfaction is determined by examining five key factors of the service experience: service initiation; service advisor; service facility; service quality; and vehicle pick-up. The study examines customer satisfaction with both new-vehicle dealerships and aftermarket facilities. The study finds that 42 per cent of customers who rate their dealer service experience 10 (on a 10-point scale) indicate they “definitely will” purchase the same make the next time they shop for a new vehicle. In contrast, only seven per cent of customers who rate their service experience between one and five say they “definitely will” purchase the same make. “The dealership service staff essentially acts as a second salesperson to the customer after they have purchased the vehicle,” said Ryan Robinson, director of the Canadian automotive practice at J.D. Power and Associates. “The interactions they have with customers after the sale is critical to ensuring that customers not only purchase the same make of vehicle in the future, but also do so at the same dealership. The link between service satisfaction and future vehicle purchase intent is a critical one.” Communicating with Customers The study finds that customers prefer to be communicated with via the same communication channel they use to schedule service appointments, indicating a comfort level with that channel. Among customers who schedule a service appointment via telephone, 54 per cent prefer to be contacted in the future by telephone, compared with email (32 per cent) and traditional mail (10 per cent). Similarly, among customers scheduling service appointments via the Internet, 66 per cent prefer to be contacted by email, compared with phone (22 per cent), traditional mail (3 per cent) or text message (8 per cent). “Knowing how a customer contacts a dealership is just as important as the communication itself,” said Robinson. “The study shows that customers prefer to be contacted in the way that they schedule appointments. The additional effort that service staff put into the method of communication provides an opportunity to set the tone for the upcoming service interaction.” Type of Service Affects Customer Satisfaction While dealership service departments are proficient in more areas than are specialty shops, such as facilities dedicated to oil changes, customer satisfaction with an oil change at a dealer service centre is 28 points lower (823 on a 1,000-point scale) than at a quick lube facility (851). “Specialty shops can focus on a particular service and optimize the processes to make it as painless and quick as possible for customers,” said Robinson. “In contrast, dealerships need to be prepared to handle any type of vehicle repair, making it more difficult to streamline any one service and provide a quick in-and-out appointment for most (Page 1 of 3) customers. However, dealerships should improve satisfaction within the most common activities first and expand to others.” Canadian Customer Commitment Rankings NAPA AUTOPRO ranks highest in satisfying automotive service customers in Canada with an overall index score of 879. Rounding out the five highest-ranked brands are Jiffy Lube (857); Mr. Lube (849); Great Canadian Oil Change (848); and Subaru Dealerships (847). The 2012 Canadian Customer Commitment Index Study is based on responses from more than 18,000 owners in Canada whose vehicles are between four and 12 years old. The study was fielded in January and February 2012 and in June and July 2012. Overall Service Experience Satisfaction Index (Based on a 1,000-point scale)

Reality Check:
Sheila Wray Gregoire By Sheila Wray Gregoire
EMC Lifestyles - When I was young I used a rotary dial phone. I had rabbit ears on my TV and bellbottoms on my jeans. And I went to a neighbourhood school from 9 a.m. until 3:15 p.m. every

day, sharing my teacher with dozens of other kids. Some things have changed, but others have stayed exactly the same. When it comes to school, is this really the best we can do? We are living through an Internet revolution, taking the world by storm—but leaving schools virtually untouched. Yet there are pockets of change. Take the Virtual Learning Centre, administered by the Trillium Lakelands school board for the Ministry of Education. They offer online high school courses for any Ontario students. My two daughters, who we have homeschooled since Grade 1, took several VLC courses. In Grade 9 and 10 science they had two hours of lectures every week, assignments to do on their own, and
online drop-ins with their teacher if they were having trouble. No more sitting through 90 minutes a day of science class when the same material can be learned much more quickly. This year, the Ministry of Education has also launched “Open School,” where students can start a credit at any time and work at their own pace. Work really fast, and you can earn a full credit in just a few weeks. Sure beats a semester of high school English classes listening to your fellow students butcher Shakespeare as they read Romeo and Juliet out loud. Then there’s Athabasca University. Run out of Alberta, it’s an open university admitting anyone who is at least 16, regardless of educational background. My girls

EMC Lifestyles - A few years ago, I came across a very interesting web site put together by geologist Andy Fyon, Andy’s Northern Ontario Wildflowers at <www. ontariowildflower.com>. This fellow puts it all together for us lay folk: environment, weather, geological formations, and history in such a way that you want to actually go and see what he saw. And so we did. I don’t want to encroach into travel writer John Smith’s territory overly much, Gentle
will both start university at 16, complete their first year online, and then transfer to a “regular” university for second year. For students who are bored or bullied in traditional schools, but who are independent learners, this is an awesome escape hatch. But online resources can also benefit traditional schools, if schools are open to using it. After all, school teachers do not have a monopoly on the gift of teaching, and often the best teachers are found outside of the traditional classroom. Take the Khan Academy, an online video sensation launched by a young man who just wanted to help his relatives in India with their math homework. He started recording 15-minute videos of himself explaining a cal-
Reader, but I’m going to take a paragraph or two to touch upon our little expedition to this splendid bit of Ontario. Betty and I recently finished a tour of the southern portion of Manitoulin Island. We motored across the swing bridge at Little Current as our entry point and then left, several days later, on the Big Canoe from South Bay. Manitoulin Island has several world distinctions, it is the largest fresh water island in the world and Lake Manitou, with a surface area of 2,766 square kilometres, is the largest lake on an island in a lake. With these world record sizes, you can see why we could explore one half on our first trip. We’ll be back another time to finish out the tour: the people were wonderful; Red Lodge was wonderful; and the scenery was more than wonderful. Lawrence Welk wouldn’t have said it any better. There were several “must see/do” items for our trip. We wanted to see, again, the spectacular vistas that Highway 11 offers. We wanted to drive past the right hand turn to Nippissing University and continue straight on out of North Bay, something we had never done. We wanted to swing by Sudbury so I could see the Big Nickle. Did you know that Sudbury is the site of arguably the largest mete-
orite, a bolide, to hit our planet? We needed to tour Copper Cliff so Betty could revisit her grandparent’s and mom’s hometown; we actually found the house. We definitely had to drive Wendell Ferguson’s Rocks & Trees highway and, except for a bit of construction confusion at Highway 17 near Lively, we certainly enjoyed seeing lots and lots of rocks. Dan had become a fan of the hawberry island’s famous Manitoulin Island jams and wanted to buy some from the source. We wanted to circumnavigate the island, stopping at all the scenic sites, visit some museums, and maybe do a little shopping. We did it all except the circumnavigate bit. I did say this was a big island. So we took our time, stopping just about everywhere and driving along any road we chanced upon. There is a, sorry to use this word again, spectacular hiking trail called the Cup and Saucer, which takes you way, way up to the tippy top of the northernmost bit of the Niagara Escarpment. We clambered about the Saucer, saving the Cup for another day. The only disappointment, if one could say it, was the brightness of the moon. It was fully lit up, so much so that we could read by it. But that meant that we did not see the wilderness stars in their full glory although the shooting stars tracing across the night sky were more spectacular than any artificial fireworks display. And thanks to Andy, I also wanted to check out the indigenous flora of the island.

Too many people have a vested interest in keeping schools exactly as they are: expensive, inflexible, one-size-fits-all entities. Thus, most of the students benefiting from the technological revolution are those, like my children, who have the luxury of parents who can supervise during the day. What about everyone else? One size does not fit all, and now, with the Internet, it doesn’t have to. It’s time for some radical rethinking about how we do school. Some students will always need the structured, four walls approach. But not everybody does. And surely, with all the technology we have available, we don’t need to be doing school the same way they did when my parents were children. Do we?

culus concept, and the videos went viral. Now he has thousands of videos covering everything from economics to biology. And they’re free. Some enterprising American schools are tapping in to this. Instead of teaching kids at school, and assigning homework to complete at home, they “flip” school, assigning videos to watch at home, and then assignments to complete during class time, so the teacher can help students one-on-one with problems. A child can progress through multiple grade levels in one year using this method, if they’re fast learners. And the pace can be slowed for those who need to solidify the information. Unfortunately, as wonderful as these innovations are, they’re not very widespread.
Over time, and time has been around for a long, long time, the island has been part of the shoreline of a great inland sea, connected to maritime waters, part of the Bruce Peninsula and the site of many alvars. Alvars look like pavement made out of gigantic sheets of limestone. This presented many opportunities for different plants to either find their way to the area or be “stranded” there. Mind you, many plants were familiar: boneset, bluebells, chicory, wild carrot, alsike, bugloss, cinquefoil, black medic and so on. I did notice bluet, Iceland yellow cress, Lyre leaf rock cress, and possibly a Pitcher’s thistle. We did not see purple loosestrife or phragmites, the grass that is filling up the roadside along the 401. I
Dan Clost confess that I did not spend as much time looking for wildflowers as I could have. For the first time in a very, very long time, we had nothing to do and that is what we did. Gardening is alive and well on the island with several nurseries—we toured one—and some active clubs; I’ll chat about that in the next column.
SOS for Symphony EMC Entertainment - Belleville - Hope remains for a continuation of a local symphony. A core of activists is seeking to recruit a new board in the wake of a decision by the present board to resign and dissolve the orchestra. Dorothy Cotton, principal bassoon player with the orchestra, reports that she and several other players are actively working to field a new board and keep the symphony alive at the annual general meeting set for Bridge Street Church, Belleville on Sunday, September 16, at 6 p.m. “We are looking for people of stature in the community, people with legal or accounting backgrounds, people connected to the music community, people committed to community development and mostly people who are willing to make sure this essential arts organization does not cease operations in its 52nd year,” said Cotton. She was appealing on behalf of a group called “SOSQuinte,” (Save our Symphony). Most are current players in the orchestra. “If you are committed
to your community and see Belleville and the Quinte area as a place where quality of life, including a vibrant arts community, is important, then perhaps you’d consider finding out more about serving on a new and reformulated board for this organization,” she added. She notes that in recent years, many arts and musical organizations across Canada and North America have struggled to achieve solid financial resources. The Quinte Symphony, like others, has “fallen on hard times,” she admitted, “but rumours of our demise are, we hope, greatly exaggerated.” Those who are interested or want more information may contact her through email <SOSQuinte@nintu. net>. The September 16 meeting is open to the public to listen to reports, financial statements and comments from the present board, but only “members in good standing” will be allowed to vote. That includes patrons, sponsors, players and season ticket holders from the past season.
EMC News - Belleville For a writer, like Belleville’s Mary Thomas, little things mean a lot. Case in point: a friend mentioned that she heard about a Canadian who fell with Custer and she wanted to go to Montana to visit the grave. “I just tucked that into my file,” said Thomas as she talked about her new book: Canadians With Custer. Some three years ago, she started working on her new book seriously. Her research led not to just one Canadian who died at the Little Bighorn River, but a total of 17 Canadians who joined the United States 7th Cavalry, most of them from Ontario, but also a sprinkling from the East Coast, Quebec and western Canada. Most were with Custer
when he entered the wellplanned trap by the native coalition desperately trying to save their lands from constant white encroachment, but some were with other units in the same expedition that did not go with Custer. The 7th Cavalry was formed after the Civil War with an explicit mission to rid coveted western lands of Indians and this exciting challenge possibly aroused the interest of young Canadians who had served in that war and heard of or even served with Custer, Thomas expostulated. “But who really knows what draws young men to battle?” she reflected. One of those was William Winer Cooke, son of a prominent Ontario family in the Hamilton area. He became Custer’s close friend and even coaxed him
LHIN program assists county homes By Jack Evans
EMC News - Belleville Not only is the number of aged residents in the Quinte area rising, but they seem to be getting feistier—and often in unfortunate ways. Hastings County Council Thursday welcomed a new initiative by the Southeastern Local Health Initiatives Network (LHIN) to create a special team to deal with disturbed elderly patients in county homes in both Hastings and Prince Edward. CAO Jim Pine admitted it is a rising problem, sometimes even at time of admittance. The LHIN has hired and trained a special team, added Claudette Dignard-Remillard, to deal with psychiatric and disturbance issues. The team has already proven its worth in recent incidents, she testified. While funding for such a service has been approved for across Ontario, the local area was one of the first to hire and implement such a team. Dementia is a rapidly rising problem among today’s elderly, a statement from the LHIN explained. The program is called Behavioural Supports Ontario. Its goals are to “ensure that staff in long-term care and hospitals are given the tools they need to care for seniors with complex mental needs.”
While Reeve Carl Tinney commented it does not address the more pressing problem of lack of long-termcare beds, another member suggested it was an improved way of dealing with the situation rather than removing some people from their home communities and committing them to central institutions like Kingston. Council also received a detailed report from the Provincial-Municipal Roads and Bridges Review Steering Committee. CAO Pine suggested lower tier councils should act on funding now available to help prepare infrastructure assessment studies. In the future, such studies may form a requirement for funding to get repair or replacement work done, he predicted. In presenting his report for Hastings-Quinte Emergency Services Branch, Doug Socha, director for Land Ambulance services, pointed to a steadily rising demand on his agency’s services and applauded a recent provincial announcement for additional funding for emergency nurses at local hospitals who can take over ambulance patients and free crews for response to other locations. His report noted that since the agency started in 2002, call volumes have risen by 40 per cent as of the end of 2011.

to Canada for a visit to his home in the few years leading to Little Bighorn, said Thomas. For this book, as for her previous three, Thomas puts the emphasis on research. While it is the most timeconsuming aspect of creating a book, to Thomas, it is often the most rewarding. As a radio news reporter with Quinte Broadcasting for some 30 years, research comes almost naturally. Her years of experience and qualifications as a journalist also opened many doors to treasures of data from U.S. and other sources. Her book also notes a complex rank structure in the U.S. military which ranked Custer as a lieutenant colonel in the regular service but a general in the reserves. Custer chose to use his reserve title even though as commander of the 7th Cavalry, he was officially in the regular forces. “One of the interesting things about Custer,”
she said, “is that everyone knows about him, but everyone is also divided between liking or disliking him.” In fact, he was often a thorn in the side of the U.S. military establishment with his unorthodox, self-centred and sometimes downright disobedient activities which even threatened court martial, she noted. Another member of the expedition had Quinte area connections. Mark Kellogg was born in Brighton, but moved westward with his family and ultimately to the U.S. He became a telegrapher and then a newspaper reporter, and provided detailed reports to eastern U.S. newspapers about the expedition. While the book focuses on the Canadian aspect, Thomas includes a heaping measure of input on behalf of the natives. It was Custer who led a horrifying massacre of an entire Indian village in Oklahoma shortly after the 7th Cavalry was

Woodcarvers see the world through different eyes ings, most recently in 2011 with his merganser hen. The club has about 45 members from around the Quinte area including Stirling and Prince Edward County. They put on a show in April every year, now at the Quinte Sports Centre. Some members also attend other shows such as those in Maryland and Ohio, where Grant has also won best in show awards. “You get to love it,” says Grant with a smile. “You meet so many people at different shows. It’s a social event.” People in the club don’t just do ducks. They carve all kinds of birds and caricatures. Other members teach what they know and share or trade tools. “Some people make the mistake of buying a lot of equipment when they start out,” says Don. “Then they realize they don’t need it.” Grant said it is a retirement hobby for many people. It is good to have protective equipment such as gloves. He says it could take 100 hours to make one piece. They might use tupelow wood from the swamps of Louisiana or basswood which is soft and has a

EMC News - Belleville Woodcarvers Grant Parks from Belleville and Don Hargest from Ameliasburgh are learning to see the world through different eyes. “I never really took notice before,” said Grant. “Now I see the colours, the iridescence when the light shines through.” He is describing carving ducks and enjoying the patterns and details of the bird that makes his hobby delightful. He creates his own patterns from “really good photos” of waterfowl then carves them in wood. “You look through the nostrils of the duck,” explains Don. “From a side view you get the length of the head.” Grant says the Quinte Woodcarvers have a huge library of photographs of ducks and they can blow up the pictures to actual size as a reference. “It’s a lot of fun,” says Don who has been a woodcarver since 2005. “You do the research. I didn’t know there were so many ducks in the water.” Grant has been a woodcarver since 1995 and has gained world championship status with his carv-

Fire destroys half of marsh By Michael J Brethour
EMC News - Prince Edward County - Called the “worst fire to hit Prince Edward County” last week’s marsh fire was a humbling force of nature to behold. Area firefighters spent six hours battling a blaze in the sprawling marsh bordered by Highway 62 and County Road 28 on Thursday. After receiving a 911 call at 7:45 p.m. on Thursday evening, firefighter crews finally had the blaze all but defeated by 12:30 a.m. and entirely contained by 1:30 a.m. and had spent the last hours bat-
tling strong winds as swirling ashes threatened to help the fire jump the causeway at the east end of the marsh risking beleaguered firefighters battling marsh fires from both sides of Highway 62. First responders to the scene were crews from Ameliasburgh, Hallowell and Sophiasburgh though it quickly became evident that more help was needed and neighbouring departments from Belleville, Quinte West and Thurlow joined the fray. In all, 24 pumpers, tankers and other trucks were dispatched to the scene.
A raging inferno was seen through the trees at the fire battled by all area fire departments last Thursday evening. The orange glow in the sky could be seen from the Norris Whitney Bridge between Belleville and Prince Edward County. Photo: Michael J Brethour
The aftermath of the 150acre marsh fire saw roughly
half of the area ravaged. While no cause has been
determined, onlookers and local residents on the scene
speculated that the fire began near the middle of the marsh and spread to the northeast. Just after 9 p.m. winds began to pick up and made matters worse for firefighters, fanning the flames upwards of ten feet in height at times. Prince Edward OPP officers shut down the highway to traffic in order to ensure that fire trucks roaming back and forth on the road with fresh water supplies would not be hindered in their efforts. Belleville deputy fire chief Mark MacDonald, expected crews to be in for a long night as firefighters hunkered down along Highway 62 to prevent the blaze from jumping the road. “I’ve never seen anything like this out here; we’re in for a long night,” he said. Fire investigators hoped to yield some information on how the massive blaze was started. No firefighters were injured though some ambulances were on scene to treat for heat exhaustion. No property was reported being damaged as a result of the blaze.

EMC News - Havelock Police seized $419,000 worth of drugs during a major grow-op bust in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen last week that included the discovery of two underground bunkers that were used in the enterprise. Officers from the OPP’s Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau, Central Region Drug Unit and members of the OPP’s Tactics and Rescue Unit were involved in the search and seizure at a home on the 2nd Line of Belmont August 28. While at the scene officers located two underground bunkers which had been set up to grow marijuana plants; there was also an outdoor marijuana grow operate on the property where police seized 415 large plants. Inside the residence police seized 17 pounds of marijuana shake and digital scales. Charged with production of marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking were John Elliot, 44, of Havelock, Carole Plamondon, 48, of Havelock and Chris St. Peter, 45, of the City of Kawartha Lakes. The trio are scheduled to appear in provincial court in Peterborough October 11.
Girls make rag quilts with help from grandma By Kate Everson
EMC News - Belleville Five-year-old Rachel has just finished her third quilt. “She’s making one right now to take to Cambodia,” said her grandmother Elfrieda Snow who taught her everything she knows about quilting. “She started at two years old,” Elfrieda said smiling. The little girl was demonstrating the art of rag
quilting at the Quinte Exhibition. Right beside her was her friend Ella, seven, from Toronto, visiting her grandmother here. “She sews the rag squares together on the sewing machine,” explained Elfrieda. “People give us fabric.” Rachel made a quilt for her little brother, one for her cousin in Calgary and now one for a little girl in Cambodia.
“We will take the quilt to her,” said Elfrieda. “We met this little girl on one of our trips.” She said it gets cold in Cambodia at night and the quilt is made with brushed cotton so it is “snuggly.” Rachel’s sister Mia, ten, also makes quilts and both have won “Judges Choice” at the exhibition. “It’s fun,” Rachel says with a smile. Ella adds, “It’s not hard once you get used to it.”

Algonquinte Scout honoured for service By Stephen Petrick
EMC Lifestyles - Belleville - If a young male is going to get addicted to something, there’s no better thing to be addicted to than Scouting. That’s the advice of Joel Kennedy, a self-described Scout addict who was awarded the prestigious Medal of the Maple at a special ceremony for Algonquinte area Scouts volunteers at the Sir James Whitney School on Thursday, August 30. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done,” said Kennedy, on his decision to get involved in Boy Scouts as a Beaver 13 years ago. “It saved me from all the other stuff.” Kennedy, 17, just wrapped up his final year as a Venturer, the highest level of Scouting. Venturers often serve as teachers and role models to younger Scouts such as Beavers (for boys ages five to eight), Cubs (eight to 11) and Scouts (11-14). Kennedy earned the Medal of the Maple award for his outstanding contributions to the youth organization over a number of years. Scouts Canada Pub-
lic Relations specialist Nick Fry said the award is given only to Scouts who go way above the call of duty; only four Medals of the Maple have been handed out to Algonquinte area Scouts since 2008. Kennedy explained he does a lot of “behind-thescenes” work to make sure Scouting programs are delivered in the Algonquinte region, an area that spans from Colborne to Napanee and north to Whitney. He administers the web site for the Algonquinte group, plus takes care of the supply of badges for younger groups. (He has a large box of badges at home that must always be full.) But one of his most impressive contributions to Scout programs was co-ordinating a re-enactment event put on by Scout groups to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812. Local Scout groups usually travel to a brigade at Fort George every year, but Algonquinte organizers wanted to hold a special event in Belleville this year, to coincide with bicenten-

nial celebrations going on throughout the region. Kennedy was among the Venturers who built a miniature brigantine to sail in the Bay of Quinte on Saturday, June 9, as part of a reenactment event. Kennedy met with a group of Cubs and had, lit-
erally, 15 minutes to teach them how the event was to proceed and how to perform a march drill. At the ceremony where he was awarded the Medal of the Maple, Boy Scouts Area Commissioner Warren Shaw said he was incredibly impressed by how Kennedy

taught and commanded the Cubs. “He taught young people how to march and how to turn and I thought, ‘My God, he deserves a medal just for that,’” Shaw said, prompting laughter. On a serious note, Shaw said Kennedy is “a gentleman and has been since I’ve known him. He lives up to the uniform he wears.” Kennedy began Grade 12 at Nicholson Catholic College this week. Upon graduating, he hopes to begin pursuing a career as a high school history teacher. He hopes to enroll in a concurrent education program at either Queen’s or Trent University next year. Although he is now too old to be a Scout himself, he will remain with the organization as the Area Youth Commissioner for Algonquinte. He will take over for David Fry in that role. The Area Youth Commissioner is responsible for promoting Scout programs to area
youth. Kennedy said he’s happy to promote the program, explaining that he got hooked as a youngster through the various camping and outdoor activities that Scouts offered. His advice to parents and kids considering scouts is “Do it. It’s the best thing you could ever do with your life.” Several other people received awards at the August 30 ceremony for volunteering. Here is the list of awards: Certificate of Commendation: Terry Honour, Nicky Bell, Quincy Entwistle; Bar to the Medal of Merit: Honour, Paul Deryaw, Jo Anne Wright, Nick Fry; Bar to the Medal of Good Service: Peter Stone, Rob McDonald; Medal of Good Service: David Fry; 10-Year Service Medal Pin: Trevor Higgins; 30-Year Service Pin: Laird Nelson, Beth Cleaton; 45Year Service Pin: David Bentley, Everett Dalmas.

Detailed tender packages will be available online at www.quintewest.ca as of Sept. 6, 2012 (Bids and Tenders under the Business heading).

Trent Valley Lodge holds Back to School Fashion show By Kate Everson
EMC News - Trenton Grandchildren of residents and staff at Trent Valley Lodge were the models for the fifth annual Back to School fashion show on August 30. “They are grandchildren, children and friends,” said Heather Rodrigues, manager of life enrichment at the lodge. “They are modelling two favourite outfits for back to school.” Rodrigues reminded the elderly residents of what it was like going back to school in their day. She started with music from the flapper era of the 1920s when women wore short sleek hairdos and shapeless shifts with low
waistlines. “They smoked with long cigarette holders,” she said with a laugh. “They were reckless rebels.” In the 1930s the dresses were longer and waistlines were back to natural levels. Stockings were made of nylon and silk replacing the wool ones of the 1920s. Women wore fur capes and hats at a rakish angle along with brooches. The 1940s was the wartime era. “Do you remember drawing a line on the back of your leg for the effect of a stocking?” she asked. Stockings were rationed at that time and women had to make do. They wore comfortable suits and pants and went to work in factories
while the men were at war. In 1945 when the war ended women switched back to more feminine dresses, Rita Hayworth style. The 1950s were buttondown sweaters, full-length skirts and dresses with circle skirts, also small collars. They idolized Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Rick Nelson and of course Elvis. Today girls are comfortable wearing jeans, or leggings with shorts. Walking the cat walk today, these models bridge the generation gap for 2012. Boys and girls from local schools in Trenton and Frankford walked quickly between the residents and showed off the latest Back
to School styles. At the end they all got treats and had
refreshments with the seniors.
As one T-shirt read, “The future is in your hands.”
