EMC News - Havelock The public will get a first look at and a chance to comment on two major solar projects proposed in the township during an October 23 “meet and greet” at the Lions Community Hall. SkyPower Global, Canada’s largest owner and developer of solar energy projects, wants to build two ten-megawatt projects, still very much in the conceptual stage, and gave council a glimpse of their proposal Monday night. One site named BrilliantLight is located south of the village off County Road 30 west of Maple Grove Cemetery; the other, AlphaLight, is north of Highway #7 just
east of the 3rd Line of Belmont. The two projects don’t have contracts yet and have been “sitting in the cues” since 2010, Charmaine Thompson, SkyPower’s vice president of project planning and implementation said. The two proposals still have to go through the complete Renewable Energy Act approval process which entails a variety of studies and public consultations before it is awarded a Feed-in Tariff (FIT) contract under the provincial government’s new FIT 2.0 rules. “We’re here to give you an understanding of what the projects are all about,” Thompson said.
So far the company has done nothing except desk top evaluations and site visits and must undertake detailed studies by specialists to determine exactly where they can site solar panels and equipment. Thompson says the AlphaLight property “has a lot of features” like waterways and wetlands that will dictate where the panels and equipment is located. “When I bring a consultant in to evaluate the property what I’m going to be saying is focus on where the panels in this area [can go],” she said. “Our intention when we go to a project site is not to infringe on any heritage feature, not to infringe on habitat or nat-
ural species. “Our first intent is to go where there is open land,” she added. The panels are “very low structures” and will not be noticeable at either site, Thompson added. “Where we’re looking at right now [at AlphaLight] is going to be very set back from the road. There’s going to be enough tree structure in this area so when you’re driving by the road you’re really not going to see anything.” BrilliantLight is “100 per cent” Class 4 land with one waterway through the property which Thompson says they’ll avoid. “We understand this is a main road and everybody is going to go by it but the Please see “Solar” on page 3
EMC News - Hastings Hastings throws one heck of a party, hands down! They sold out of ribs, 250 pounds worth, and sold out of beverages Saturday night during a night of celebration that marked the culmination of an extraordinary summer in Canada’s Ultimate Fishing Town. The party on a portion of Front Street East was hosted by the Hastings Environmental Group (HEG) and the Hastings Legion Branch 106 as a thank-you to the community for helping Hastings beat out 260 other Canadian entries to win the World Fishing Network’s Ultimate Fishing Town title and the $25,000 grand prize. It was also the official launch of the HEG’s request for project ideas and how best to use some of the grand prize winnings. Most of all it was a chance for local residents and friends to let loose a little bit and recall the notable achievements the village attained this summer including successfully persuading the federal government to look at other ways to repair the crucial Lock 18 swing bridge that links Hastings across the Trent River. In on the act was Trent Hills “Chef in Chief” Mayor Hector Macmillan who showed remarkable mastery over the rib-fest barbeque, DJ Jim Maclean, singersongwriter Aiden McGill and the band Old Skewl who brought the night to a rocking close. “It’s a celebration of how a community can come together and make some really terrific things happen,” HEG member Kira Mees told the Northwest EMC. “We had a great summer, you hear businesses talk and they were very busy,” Mees said. “We heard good news that the bridge was not going to close at the end of this summer as we expected [and] that was the community too; they said ‘we want Please see “Hastings” on page 3

Staff find a solution to increased demand on water treatment plant EMC News - Campbellford - Presenting Trent Hills council with a mockup/prototype of a specially designed and fabricated polyethylene collar, Neil Allanson, manager, roads and urban services, demonstrated just how it will help solve a problem that has resulted in increased demand on the wastewater treatment plant. According to a staff report, during times when water levels are high, river water enters the core wall between the Campbellford Bridge and Second Street. Through flow monitoring, (the Inflow and Infiltration Detection Program), and continued investigations aimed at identifying sources of increased demand on the waste water treatment plant, it was determined that a substantial amount of infiltration is occurring when Dam #10 is opened and as a result water levels rise in the storm system which surrounds the sanitary sewer in the core wall. “We are getting some of our peak flows from 3,000 to 4,000 cubic metres per day extra,” Allanson told council. “It depends how hard it rains and how long the dam is open too … the water goes into the treatment plant and as well infiltrates the sanitary sewer,” he explained. “It’s an ongoing thing in the core wall. “When they [Trent Severn Waterway] let the water go at the dam it all starts backing up into our storm system which runs in the core wall all the way up to the bridge,” said Allanson. It was noted that when
the treatment plant was put in the sewer system slowly started to get broken off to the two separate systems. The core wall had a pipe laid at the bottom of it that carries the sanitary sewers and the water around the pipe is the storm water so there’s still two systems now inside the one wall. Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan commented, “This is one of the difficulties that’s going to happen over time, is trying to keep the two systems separate.” The core wall acts as the storm water sewer main in this area with the outlet located at the Trent River south of the dam. Based on staff’s preliminary findings, the Roads and Urban Services Division hired a closed circuit television contractor to conduct an inspection of the sewer main and core wall in this area. “The results of this inspection clearly identified a number of issues,” stated the department’s report put before council. It was noted that given the buoyancy of the sewer main, the introduction of water into the core wall has caused the pipe to flex. This constant flexing has over time resulted in the inspection plates/portholes to become compromised. “It is evident that during periods of high water levels south of Dam 10, a substantial amount of infiltration is occurring through the compromised inspection plates/ portholes,” stated staff in its report. As a result, staff requested a number of sewer maintenance and repair consultants provide suggestions on how

topography of the land is so low and it’s not a very high structure and won’t be visible from the road. “Most of our projects are anywhere between 20 to 100 metres from roads. With this conceptual plan we’re still 45 to 50 metres from the road.” Thompson also said visitors to the cemetery will not be able to see into the property because of natural tree cover. “Even from the cemetery it’s not going to invade in a
visual way.” “The most visible piece is the sign and the information about it,” said Thompson. They’re looking forward to the October 23 meeting, she said. “It is a passive technology [but] what you find in the community is lots of questions.” “Solar energy is an exciting thing,” Councillor Larry Ellis said. “I think our community is environmentally [conscious], especially council. I’m sure you’re going to have lots of questions.”
to repair and redesign the inspection plates/portholes to avoid further issues with flexing and water submersion. One contractor offered a solution. Sewer Technologies Incorporated proposed the installation of the collar. Council approved the estimated expenditure of $40,000 for the repair of six sanitary sewer main inspection plates/portholes. Trent Hills CAO commented, “I really think they did a great job being proactive with this and they came up with a really creative solution. I’d rather people come to me with solutions rather than questions and problems. Great job.”

to be involved in the decision.’” From Dit Clapper Day to the sixth annual Hastings Waterfront Festival, which drew over 5,000 people on one of the busiest weekends of the summer, Hastings had a banner summer, says Mees. “Neat things have brought people from other countries here; we’ve had a lot of visitors.” Through the Ultimate Fishing Town contest Hastings has developed a lasting bond with American champs Olcott Beach which Mayor Macmillan has visited a couple of times. “Hector’s worn a path to Olcott Beach. He’s been amazing,” Mees said. “It’s the most important thing, sharing with the community,” Tonya Smith added. “It took a lot of work but it was work that was so worth it; work that we were really excited about. “This summer was awesome for the whole town. For the restaurant [The Captain’s Table where Smith works] it was the busiest on record. We need to build on that and keep it going. “People are here for the same purpose and same passion for the town. When I hear people say how much they enjoyed visiting Hastings I feel a sense of pride. I just want to hug them.”

Bemersyde IODE honours longtime member By Sue Dickens
EMC Lifestyles - Campbellford - Royal memorabilia graced the tables at the Diamond Jubilee Tea hosted by the Bemersyde Chapter IODE in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The special tea was held last Saturday at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church where it was standing room only as IODE members and guests filled the hall to enjoy the tea, sandwiches and goodies. More than 80 people attended the tea, many coming from as far away as Toronto, Kitchener, Oshawa, Napanee and nearby Norwood. There was IODE memorabilia on display as well. The highlight of the afternoon celebration was a presentation to longtime IODE member Helen Meyers, who at the young age of 97, has provided 71 years of service to this women’s organization. The IODE is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals through education support, community service and citizenship programs. The IODE National First Vice President Anne Mason presented Meyers with a 60-

year membership pin developed to co-ordinate with the jubilee celebrations, noting that she has served much longer. Marie Locke, Bemersyde IODE membership officer presented Meyers with a floral bouquet. “I am very interested in anything to do with the Queen,” Meyers told EMC, adding, “During the late 1930s and early ’40s we did a lot of war work.”
Reminiscing about the early days of the organization here in Campbellford, a town she was born in and has lived in all her life, Meyers said, “When I joined the IODE we had meetings and I had to take a chair … every member had to take a chair for themselves.” She remembers a guest speaker talking to the women while they knitted socks for the troops. “We knitted right through
the meeting and the guest speaker told us he couldn’t concentrate because the steel needles were reflecting the light and flashing,” she added with a big grin. That didn’t stop the women from fulfilling their task. Meyers talked about the importance of the IODE. “We look after people when they are in distress,” she commented. “When there is a fire we give sandwiches to the firemen. We
give books to schools and we support education,” she added. Surrounded by IODE members and family everyone applauded when she received recognition for her efforts. “I think it is just wonderful what the girls put on here today. They’ve been working for a long time on it.” Two other presentations were made at the tea. Gayle Donald was honoured for her 50 years of service with a presentation by Bemersyde IODE’s membership officer. As well Jane Wellard was honoured for ten years of IODE service with a presentation by IODE Ontario Provincial President Karen Barker.
“I would like to thank Marie [Locke] and the Diamond Jubilee Tea committee for collecting all the items for our raffle baskets, the IODE and Jubilee memorabilia,” said Judy Pearce, president of the Bemersyde IODE. “We have been receiving very positive feedback from attendees at our Diamond Jubilee Tea and many comments about how impressed people were with our collection of Royal memorabilia as well, so that’s really nice to hear,” she told EMC. Next year the chapter will be celebrating its 95th anniversary. For more information about the Bemersyde Chapter IODE call Pearce at 705653-5839.

for ten years teaching science and French. When her husband got a job in Markham there was a two-year stint teaching French Immersion with the York Board but the family didn’t like the larger city and decided to move back to Peterborough; it was at this point that Rogers “decided it would be a good time” to transition from teaching to administration. She spent the past two years as vice principal at Adam Scott Intermediate School. “When I got my first vice principalship I missed the kids terribly,” she admits. “I felt it was probably going to take me longer to get into the administrative role [and] I thought there would be another three or four years of teaching as
I gradually prepared for that. “I don’t think I was ready to be done teaching because that’s always been my passion, working with kids. Adam Scott was a very busy, busy school.” Being back in an elementary school is exactly where Rogers wanted to be to start her career as a principal “because I missed the little guys. My real heart is with the JKs to Grade Threes to help them to get started with their academic life.” Rogers says her experience as a high school teacher was a definite benefit. “It broadened my scope of development.

EMC News - Hastings Sarah Rogers knew earlier than most what she wanted to do with her life. The new principal at Hastings Public School was certain at the age of four that teaching is what she wanted to do. “From the time I was four I wanted to teach. I never wavered,” Rogers, who is in her very first principalship, told the Northwest EMC. “Growing up I always worked with kids; I worked in camps, I was a lifeguard, I volunteered at daycares. I was always teaching in one way or another.” She adds her own experiences of school were “always very positive” with plenty of time spent in extracurricular activities, from sports and clubs to drama. Her mother is a nurse and her father was a university professor so Rogers thinks she’s perhaps inherited some the “people skills” those two professions demand; it must run in the family because her brother and sister are also teachers. Rogers, a Windsor native, is excited to be in Hastings. After graduating from Ottawa University she was hired by the preamalgamation separate school board in Peterborough teaching at St. Anne’s for five years. After having her own children Rogers decided she wanted to spend some time teaching older students and worked at Holy Cross Secondary School
More arts planned at Hastings Public EMC Lifestyles - Hastings - Enhancing the arts at Hastings Public School is one of Sarah Rogers’ goals this year. The new principal at the 125-student school has a strong drama background dating back to her high school years in Windsor; she has also acted in and directed plays at the Peterborough Theatre Guild. “I was very active in school and that’s a positive when students leave,” Rogers told the Northwest EMC. “I hope to bring that to Hastings. “I want to increase the arts in school. I would love to do a school-wide play,” she said. Rogers is also a keen athlete and is currently coaching the HPS cross-country team running three times a week with the students. “I enjoy doing those kinds of things; it’s nice being in a school that’s small so you can do those extracurricular things that I couldn’t do at Adam Scott.” For the past two years Rogers was vice principal at Adam Scott Intermediate. “My goal is to be in with the kids and do my paperwork stuff in the evenings
because the key is to be visible in the school and to connect with the kids.” She says she’s halfway to remembering the names of all of the school’s students. Rogers also stresses the invaluable role parental involvement plays in a child’s school success. “I know that from personal experience,” she said. “We really need that communication between home and school in order for those kids to be as successful as they can be.” If you “take away that piece of the puzzle” the student’s school experience is diminished, she says. She wants “better communication on a regular basis” rather than just a note in the backpack that “sometimes gets home.” HPS is trying out an email flyer. Rogers has already met the chair and vice-chair of the School Council. “They’re very keen and very interested in working as a team to do whatever we can to make kids’ lives better.” After starting the year down one teacher, things are back to normal after a new teacher was hired. “At the beginning of the year we had to do a reor-
ganization of the school. Everything’s in place now. We’re like day one again.”

Letters to the editor
Greed is the problem, not Baby Boomers
Dear Editor, As a member of the Baby Boom generation, I would like to address a few misconceptions in Sheila Wray Gregoire’s column of September 13. First of all, Canadians do not have “absolutely free” health care. There is no OHIP fairy. We pay premiums, often through our payroll system if we are working, for our medical services. There is a difference between universal health care and free health care. Canadians in general are willing to pay higher taxes to ensure that our health and welfare services are in place. Ms. Gregoire seems to believe that the Baby Boomers are being handed pensions and services on a silver platter. OAS and CPP are not handouts; they are earned entitlements. The Canada Pension Plan came into effect in 1966. An individual is required to work in Canada for a minimum of ten years in order to collect CPP. Like OHIP, both CPP and Old Age Security premiums are regularly deducted from most people’s pay cheques. A Baby Boomer who started working at age 18 in 1966 and is still currently employed at age 64 would have been contributing to these pension programs for 46 years. The unfortunate thing for many Boomers is that their accrued company pen-
sions have been lost or greatly diminished because of faulty management or bad investments on the part of their employers. This often means they must postpone their retirement and continue to work. This is in stark contrast to European nations like Greece, where hordes of protesters took to the streets when the Greek government announced it was raising the retirement age from 52. Boomers often belong to the “sandwich generation,” responsible for financially supporting both their elderly parents and adult children. They may have been able to buy real estate at low prices, but they purchased it with low salaries.To put things into perspective: someone purchasing a $35,000 home while earning $100 gross per week in the 1970s would be like buying a $350,000 home in today’s market while grossing $1,000 per week. The difference is that today’s interest rates are substantially lower. As for Boomers paying low tuition rates, most students I knew worked their way through college or university, rather than getting a student loan. Ms. Gregoire has previously accused Baby Boomers of “erasing ideas of loyalty, honour, and commitment in favour of self-interest.” I respectfully wonder what led
Thanks to CMH Dear Editor, I recently went to Campbellford Memorial Hospital for tests in the Radiology Department and underwent day surgery. I received excellent care!

her to form this opinion. The Boomers I know worked hard to make the world a better place for future generations, campaigning for causes such as women’s rights, nuclear disarmament, wheelchair access, conservation, improvements in education, and affordable daycare. Many of them still do. Perhaps Ms. Gregoire has heard of the Grannies for Africa. As a mother and grandmother, I know how discouraging it is for young people not to be able to find work in their chosen fields, if they are able to find work at all. I agree it is important for them to get out and vote to try to make a difference in the quality of
their future. The problem is not the Baby Boomers. It is the greed, apathy and excessive spending that pervades everything, from government to business to the general public. People buy cheap

Dear Editor, I am 69 years old and on a small old age pension. What burns me up is that Hydro One is taking advantage of all of us old people. My Hydro bill used to be $330 a month on a budget billing plan. Now since May of this year they jumped it up to $524 a month. That is a $194 increase.
I’m not rich but that is a little too much of an increase and then they tell me that since I’m behind in payment that they will cut off my hydro. My wife and I didn’t mind the $330 but when they added on another $194 that is too much. I wonder how many other people they are screwing over on hydro. Also why should we have
to pay for their retirement debt. The one’s that work for the hydro make enough money to pay for their retirement. The only reason I’m writing this is to warn others that they too might get a bigger bill than they expect. Thanks, Herbert Comer, Madoc
resented at the Bridgenorth meeting, “think they have enough data now and hope to have more at the end of next year to substantiate a move toward the province picking up the costs for some of those clerks because the province is definitely benefitting from that program. “They’re also looking at further recommendations for data entry in other parts of the province,” he said. “I was encouraged by hearing that. I think there are other areas the AMO [Association of Municipalities of Ontario] board will be looking at in terms of how policing is carried out across the province to reduce some
of the costs [or] at least flatline some of those costs if nothing else because when it comes to policing we’re tapped out.” The association has been working on its own as well as with the “Mayor’s Coalition on Affordable, Accountable and Sustainable Policing.” Last year policing in Ontario cost municipal taxpayers $3.8 billion. In most cases, policing accounted for more than 25 per cent of municipal operating budgets. For instance, HBM and neighbouring AsphodelNorwood pay a combined $1.59 million for policing. “It was a good meeting,”
he said. “At the end of the day the will of all the police services boards is to work together to develop strategies moving forward because next year is when municipalities and councils will be negotiating contracts with the OPP.” Gerow said a subcommittee made up of the chairs of all eight PSBs with be furthering discussions on cost issues and drafting some recommendations. The HBM police services board will talk more about the proposed subcommittee, he said. “We’re going to have that discussion. I don’t know where it’s going to go.”
“When it comes to policing we’re tapped out” By Bill Freeman
EMC News - Havelock There were “a lot of good points” discussed at a meeting that brought together representatives from the county’s eight police services boards, says Mayor Ron Gerow who attended the gathering in Bridgenorth. Topping the list, as it always does, is the cost of policing but Mayor Gerow was encouraged to learn that information being gathered by the OPP on the implementation of data entry clerks looks like it supports the argument for taking the plunge, that it saves money. The data entry clerks at the Peterborough County OPP’s detachment take on a lot of the administrative paper work front-line officers have traditionally done; by using data clerks those officers would be freed up to spend more time in communities. The cost of implementing the program is being shared by municipalities across the county. “When we agreed to this program the idea was that we’d see some efficiencies in front line services [with] officers going out into our community being positive in policing,” Gerow said. And with that “over time our calls for service would decrease.” Policing contracts are based largely on calls for service and salaries with a complicated formula determining the final municipal bill. Mayor Gerow said officials from the OPP’s contract office in Orillia, rep-

Hydro One rips off the little guy
HBM hires new public works director By Bill Freeman
EMC News - Havelock Havelock-Belmont-Methuen has hired a familiar face as its new director of public works. The township has hired former Asphodel-Norwood public works manager Brian McMillan to succeed Boyd Hill who announced his retirement in June. McMillan will assume his new position in mid-November to allow for a brief transition of responsibilities prior to Hill’s retirement at the end of November.
Township council began its recruitment process this summer after learning of Hill’s decision to retire after over 27 years with the municipality. “Mr. McMillan has many years of experience as a senior municipal public works manager (and) we are very pleased to have him join our team,” HBM Mayor Ron Gerow said after the hiring decision. “Council was very impressed with his ideas and vision for the public works department,” Gerow said.
McMillan, who oversaw the building of the new public works building in Norwood, major roads and infrastructure program on King Street and the upgrade of Norwood’s wastewater treatment plan, is “excited” to join the HBM staff. “I am excited about the opportunity to work with council and staff,” McMillan said. “I know the public works staff consists of dedicated and very capable individuals. I am looking forward to working with them.”

goods from third world countries, then complain about Canada’s lack of manufacturing jobs. They confuse wants with needs and seek instant gratification. It’s time to move away from the “buy now, pay
bers of the Police Services Board from acting on behalf of the community.” Mayor Rodney Cooney explained that the board operates under both its own and municipal bylaws but agreed to look into Way’s request. During the regular session, council agreed to support and publicize the upcoming Low Cost Vaccination Clinics, agreeing to ensure no animal control officers are present at the clinics. While looking over expenses before moving to pay the month’s vouchers council had few concerns but Deputy-mayor Wilfred Shier was unsure about marketing
expenses incurred through the municipality’s economic development department. “I continue to have … It’s all confusing to me,” Shier said of how marketing expenses, some of which are returned, are laid out before council. “We need to get some kind of handle on how many dollars are going out,” he said. Council agreed that further explanation may be required. A Rodgers Drive resident, scheduled to appear as a delegation to express concerns over the subdivision agreement between the township and Steven Wells and Ryell Homes, failed to attend the meeting.

EMC Editorial - One of the first scenes in the ridiculous but thoroughly nasty film Innocence of Muslims shows angry Muslims running through the streets smashing things and killing people. So what happens when a clip from Gwynne Dyer the film dubbed into Arabic goes up on the Internet? Angry Muslims run through the streets smashing things and killing people. It’s as simple as that: press the right button, and they’ll do what you want. Some Christian extremists set out to provoke Muslim extremists into violence that would discredit Islam in the eyes of the West—and it worked, of course. As the U.S. consulate in Benghazi burned and the American dead were carried out, many people in the West thought to themselves: “The Libyans are biting the hand that freed them.” Wrong conclusion. It wasn’t “the Libyans” who broke into the Benghazi consulate and murdered the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens; it was a heavily armed band of Islamic extremists. “The Libyans” recently voted in their first real election ever, and they elected a secular government. The film just gave the fanatics an opportunity to undermine that choice. Maybe the Christian extremists don’t understand that their film serves the purposes of those who want to overthrow the moderate, democratically elected governments, both Islamic and secular, that have come to power in the “Arab spring.” Or maybe they do realise that, and hope that the violence that they are stirring up will bring Muslim extremists to power in those countries. After all, it’s easier to mobilise Western opinion against outright fanatics. The grown-ups try to keep the situation under control. Grand Mufti Sheik Abdel-Aziz al-Sheik, the highest religious authority in Saudi Arabia, said that Muslims should denounce the film, but without anger: “Muslims should not be dragged by wrath and anger to shift from legitimate to forbidden action, (as) by this they will, unknowingly, fulfill some aims of the film.” Exactly so, but the leaders of the Arab world’s post-revolutionary governments have to walk a fine line, denouncing both the film and the violent protests against it. Moderate Islamic governments like that of Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi have a particularly tricky task, since they are competing with the Muslim extremists who are organising the protests for the support of the same pious and socially conservative bloc of voters.
Letter to the editor
“We Egyptians reject any kind of assault or insult against our prophet,” Morsi said last Thursday, “but at the same time we firmly say that this cannot be taken as a justification to assault consulates or embassies and cannot be taken also as a justification for killing innocent people.” It was not a sufficiently robust condemnation of the violence for U.S. President Barack Obama, who said on the same day: “I don’t think that we would consider [Egypt] an ally, but we don’t consider them an enemy.” Obama has his own right flank to protect, and cannot afford to acknowledge in public that elected Arab leaders are in competition with Islamic fanatics for popular support, and so must choose their words with care. Most American voters are not sophisticated enough to understand the intricacies of Arab politics, or patient enough to care. Similarly, most Arab voters do not want to hear about the American constitution, which guarantees free speech and means that the U.S. government cannot just ban crude attacks on Islam by American citizens. The elected Arab leaders will certainly have had this fact explained to them in private by their political advisers, but in public they must demand that the U.S. government suppress the film and punish its makers. It’s not the United States that has attacked Islam, or even “Hollywood,” just a handful of Americans with a political and religious agenda. It’s not “Egypt” or “Libya” that has attacked American and other Western diplomatic missions in the Arab world, but small groups of Islamic extremists with a political agenda of their own, supported by a larger number of pious dupes. Indeed, the film in question passed without notice when it had its single public screening in the Vine Theatre in Los Angeles in June; only a dozen or so people showed up, probably mostly friends of the producer. It attracted little more attention when a shortened version was posted on YouTube at the beginning of July. It only took off when the religious Egyptian television channel al-Nas broadcast scenes from it on September 8, and then posted a clip online with an Arabic translation. That got hundreds of thousands of views in a matter of days, and the violent protests began almost at once. The Christian fanatics and the Muslim extremists are, in the old Marxist phrase, “objective allies.” This is not a “turning point” in Western relations with the Arab countries or the broader Muslim world (as some excitable commentators have suggested). The whole thing will blow over after a little while, just like the violent protests against Danish newspaper cartoons about Muhammad did six years ago. It is a tempest in a teapot.
Just another deal
Dear Editor, Most normal people would balk at agreeing to a deal without knowing what the contents were. If I agreed to a mortgage without seeing the text, knowing the interest rate, or any possible clauses in the agreement, normal people would shake their heads. After moving in and finding another family living in the basement, and hearing a tractor trailer parking in the driveway at 1 a.m. on a nightly schedule, they might say, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Along comes the Trans Pacific Partnership, TPP for short. The Canadian negotiators had been trying to get in on the deal for two years but not under U.S. terms. Harper apparently sent his Chief of Staff Nigel, to agree to anything the U.S. presented and we are now on a 90-day waiting period for the other partners to give the thumbs up or down. Canada has agreed to accept any text already agreed to by the other nine members. We have also agreed to abide by anything they include during the period from now until we are admitted to the table, all sight unseen The window opened for U.S. corporate representatives to insert outrageous clauses, which may destroy agricultural management programs etc., must seem surreal to their lawyers. The extreme secrecy means U.S. Senator Ron Wyden, who chairs the committee overlooking the TPP, has been denied access to the text of the U.S. proposals, while no fewer than 600 U.S. corporate representatives have full access. Guess then who benefits from this deal? When questioned on this paradox, the answer was after
the release of the “Free Trade Area of the Americas” text, it became impossible to complete the deal. Apparently if the public knows what shenanigans are going on they will rise up and try to stop it. To clarify: most of these countries already have trade agreements with one another; this is all about protecting the corporations. It’s called “investors rights,” or “taxpayers cover your pockets.” It involves the right to free access to markets, the right to sue governments for lost profits, extended terms of drug patent protection and a total ban on local job policies etc. Further, we the paying public are not to know what is in the deal for the next four years following the signing. Should it fall through? We will still not be allowed to see the proposed text for at least four years. Could the four-year term co-inside with the USA and Canadian political term of office? Why do we go through the charade of elections if our elected representatives do not even have the power to see the texts in documents committing Canada to unknown agreements for years to come? There is no length to this agreement, nor term where it would need to be renewed, this is it. “You don’t need to read it, just sign the thing.” For more on this and other farces, go to the CCPA Monitor. In case you missing something else from last week’s news, the USA just voted Mr. Harper as the “Best puppet the U.S. ever had” or was that “Statesman of the year.” Paul Whittaker, Gilmour
No NHL? Fine by me By Terry Bush EMC Editorial - Gary Bettman has been commissioner of the National Hockey League for close to 20 years now and what has he accomplished? His illustrious record so far includes three work stoppages including the only lost season on record in the history of major professional sports and we’re not quite sure how this season is going to end. Three strikes usually means you’re out. The man has managed to water down the league so much that what should be an exciting game on any given night, usually isn’t. But that’s to be expected in a league with enough top-notch talent to outfit maybe 20 teams but not 30. Bettman, the little man with the giant ego, would never consider putting a few teams on the chopping block because that would mean he’s failed in his mission to bring hockey to the United States, a country that would rather watch high school football than the NHL. Better to have teams founder in the U.S. than to move them to Canada. The GTA could easily support another team though the woeful Leafs wouldn’t like it. When you’re the only game in town, it doesn’t matter if you suck, people will still come out. Gary Bettman is the man under whose watch we enjoyed such great rule changes as the “five minutes for high sticking if you draw blood” rule that applied to everyone except Wayne Gretzky. And who can forget the multitude of disallowed goals during the “if any part of an opposing player’s body breaks the imaginary vertical wall outlined by the goal crease when the puck enters the net, the goal doesn’t count season” in which that rule was enforced for the entire year except when Brett Hull scored the Stanley Cup winning goal against the Buffalo Sabres. You know the hockey world truly hates Gary Bettman when someone like Teemu Selanne, one of the classiest and most talented players to ever lace up a pair of skates, said on his blog on Monday, “Bettman is certainly the NHL’s most hated person. He makes $8 million a year. Would Mr. Bettman be willing to give up his salary and give part of it to these poor teams? Hmm … interesting question.” Selanne was referring to the league’s current labour impasse. From the billions in NHL revenue each year, rich teams are required to share revenue with poorer teams. In a nutshell, the owners and their man Gary think the players should be contributing more to the pot. The players think they gave up enough in the last agreement. I won’t be shedding a tear for either side. Canada’s game has been stolen by rich American owners and their point man Gary. Most American fans will easily find something else to watch on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Nothing much will probably happen until maybe the end of November because there’s no way on earth the NHL is going to screw up the very popular Winter Classic game especially when the game pits two original six teams against one another, the Leafs and the Red Wings. There is simply too much television exposure and money to be made on that one. So what can we do as fans? Well, the logical thing to do to get our hockey fix would be to find the next best thing in our area. The Belleville Bulls or the Peterborough Petes will offer exciting hockey without all those very tedious commercial breaks anyone attending a live NHL game is forced to suffer through. Tier II hockey is also a very good bang for the buck. Triple A or Minor Hockey for that matter is also very entertaining. There really is no sense pining for the NHL. They obviously don’t care about their fans as there is no reason this labour dispute couldn’t have been settled before training camps started. It’s all just a question of percentages. Two pens, one piece of paper and a table to slide that piece of paper back and forth on until a final figure is agreed upon. The only real casualty in our area is the cancellation of the Kraft Hockeyville pre-season game that was to be held in Belleville. A big loss for a lot of excited kids especially after all the work that went into Stirling’s Hockeyville bid but other parts of the show will go on. The Stanley Cup will be paraded through the streets of Stirling at long last. It made it into Stirling’s 395 neck of the woods last month when LA’s Brad Richardson had it for a day and took it by boat from his cottage on Oak Lake just south of town to the beach so the kids there could see it. We’ve been teased a couple of other times, first when Stirling’s Rob Ray was playing for the Sabres and when Pittsburgh won a few years back. Now we’ll all enjoy the real thing and a visit from a few NHL alumni to boot. And looking on the bright side, when that NHL preseason game does finally make it to town, we might be fortunate enough to be able to watch a better team than the Columbus Blue Jackets kick the Maple Leafs’ butts. And that will be a bonus. Northwest EMC - Thursday, September 20, 2012

Test results great way to start year: HBPS principal By Bill Freeman
EMC News - Havelock - It couldn’t have been a better way to start the year, says Havelock Belmont Public School principal Glen Payne of the school’s 2011-2012 EQAO test results. “They’re as high as they have ever been in the last five years,” Payne said of the recently released Grade 3 and 6 reading, writing and mathematics scores. “We’ve seen a gradual increase in all of our schools this year and we’re very pleased. This is not a onetime spike,” Payne told the Northwest EMC. The provincial tests show a particularly marked increase in both Grade 3 and 6 reading scores with 65 per
cent and 70 per cent respectively testing above the provincial average. In both cases the results have improved by at least 15 per cent. “A gradual increase is a healthy improvement,” says Payne. “It’s the hard work of all the school staff and all our learning partners.” “Every year we identify areas we want to work on with our students as a whole staff,” he said. These are all factored into the HBPS school improvement plan. “All our meetings are focused on whatever our initiatives are for that year. We continuously reflect on the date. The data drives our planning and initiatives.” Payne says those learn-

ing strategies can be as specific as developing a learning program for an individual student because not all students learn the same way. “We make sure strategies are in place to meet the needs of individual students; sometimes they need to be adjusted,” he said. “The results speak for themselves and it’s a great way to start the year [especially] when you see that continuous growth over time and it’s not a one-off thing.” One of the special schoolwide strategies Payne and his staff will continue this year is the well-received Take 10 Literacy program which brought primary school parents into the school last year to an informal workshop setting with teachers on reading and numeracy strategies. “It was overwhelming, the positive feedback,” Payne says. “We brought parents in to be learning partners.”
So successful was the program that they will expand it into the junior grades this year in the 270-student school. “It’s really encouraging and motivating for myself and the staff to push that forward and embrace and enhance the opportunity to work with parents because they’re such an important part of our learning team.” Payne says full-day kindergarten has also been a success at HBPS noting the academic and social “advancements” he has seen in the school’s youngest students. There has been a smooth transition to Grade 1, he adds. “When kids are exposed to the elements in school on a full-day basis we were very optimistic in seeing positive results and we have. They are ready to go and flourish in that environment.” Any “early worries” parents might have had “quickly vanished once they saw the kids in the program.

and members of the review and selection committee. “It’s a grant that gives money to an idea, or maybe more than one,” says HEG member Kira Mees. The criteria is that the projects have to be related to angling so it is “pretty broad,” Mees says. “We want people to be thoughtful and to think about how you can maybe leverage the dollars for more money further on with partners,” she told the Northwest EMC at Saturday’s kickoff. Mees, who is not on a review-selection committee, says they deliberately designed a simple idea project form. The evaluation criteria will be weighted to determine a final project score. They’ve invited 12 people from the community to be part of the scoring committee representing “a good number of opinions. “It’s a really basic form and really basic scoring criteria,” Mees said. “I’m excited to see what comes in. I’ve been hearing lots of neat things and I’m glad I’m not on the scoring committee.” She said the HEG asked the World Fishing Network for criteria on how they wanted the $25,000 used and all they said was angling. “It’s wide open.

have any limitations other than that,” Mees said. “We’d really like people to do the legwork, to think about what it would cost in terms of budget and how long it would take.” The submission deadline is November 1 with the grant committee reviewing the applications through November and December with a project announcement in early 2013. It’s important to remember that the project idea does not have to encompass the full $25,000. “What might happen is that a few people might come up with the same idea and it might be useful for the environmental group to connect those people together,” Mees said. “We’re trying to get people excited because we have this money,” Tonya Smith added. “If you have an idea you need to fill out an application. Project criteria includes overall benefits to angling in Hastings; innovativeness; potential long-term benefits; the level of planning put into the project and the applicant’s ability to achieve the project’s goals.
here,” she said. “A lot of people I knew when I first started have passed away and it’s really unfair they can’t be here.” She’s been trying to piece together a pictorial history of the club but has had difficulty coming across photographs from the club’s earliest days. “Our club is an important part of the village; people like what we do here and we try to do more.” “For a small area like this I think they have a great organization,” added Glen Coopman, president from 2002-2005. “They can be really proud. It enhances their lives.” “It meant a lot to me because in a small area seniors need a place to go,”
said Coopman, continuing an active life in a Whitby retirement home where he is currently organizing an Alaskan cruise. “I’m really proud of what we all did together.” “I enjoyed it; I hope they enjoyed me,” said Vivian
Parker with a laugh, president from 1993-1995. “I’m quiet and I can’t believe I was president for a couple of years. It was nice to be involved with the seniors and the church.” Now living in the Oshawa area, Parker remains ac-
tive playing cards six times a week and being part of a quilting group. “I think older people should be involved, it keeps their brain young. How could you just sit at home and do nothing?” “To hear about the things
they have in Hastings is fantastic,” added Joyce Mitchell, past president of the United Seniors Club of Ontario (USCO). “These little grassroots clubs are what we need and depend on. “Working together is what it’s all about.”

EMC Lifestyles - Hastings - There was Watergate, Abba, The Godfather and a legendary hockey summit between Canada and the USSR; and then there was the birth of the Hastings Senior Citizens Club which celebrated 40 years of greatness with a party at the Civic Centre Saturday afternoon. The Hastings Seniors continues to thrive into the 21st century wearing its 1972 vintage very well indeed. “It is a joyous group,” says relative newcomer Tony Tuit who’s been a member for about ten years. Tuit, a past president of the Hastings Historical Society, was busily engaged with organizations when he lived in Toronto but admits that when he and his wife moved to Hastings there was a “void” for about three months. “To get started you’ve got to go beyond yourself,” he told the Northwest EMC during Saturday’s festivities. To do that, he started playing cards and bingo at the Civic Centre. He had discovered the Hastings Seniors. “This is a group with a lot of smiling faces [and] a great start to the week.” “It’s given me my life back,” says Alice Hall, the club’s secretary for the past 13 years. “When my husband died I didn’t want to do anything. The seniors really helped me and gave me a chance to something good.” Hall has been a member for 13 years and bingo coordinator for ten of those years. “I have lots of friends

Liverpool’s 50th anniversary celebrations for the Beatles

end event at Liverpool’s Albert Dock. After all, October 5 is the very day this debut single was released back in 1962, and organizers hope fans will gather in Liverpool on that special day and partake in what’s hoped will be a record-setting sing-along of the classic song. There’ll also be a variety of musical performances held and special food and drink offers. As one executive put it, “no self-respecting Beatles fan will want to miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of Beatles history.” I’m dating myself when I

EMC Lifestyles - Back in September of 1962, John, Paul, George, and Ringo recorded Love Me Do, the song that first catapulted “the Fab Four” into fame and fortune, and that makes this September of 2012 half a century since the Beatles really emerged onto the world stage. As a result of this event, their hometown, Liverpool, is celebrating with a number of 50th anniversary specials – including a “Love Me Do Weekend” October 5, 6 and 7. Thousands are expected to attend this special week-

say that I remember the rise of the Beatles very well. I considered them “my group,” and I eagerly followed their first appearances on the long gone Ed Sullivan Show on television. I bought that first big album, Please Please Me, which included their first hit single, Love Me Do. Other albums and purchases were to follow for me, for I became a part of “Beatlemania” and the Beatles went on to become (arguably?) the most popular and influential pop group of all time. When I eventually went to Liverpool, years later, I discovered the Beatles, although long ago disbanded, were still a very major draw for tourists, and this sustained popularity finally led the city to wisely “jump onto this bandwagon” and go with it. Therefore, I found many Beatles-themed tourist attractions in Liverpool, including museums, statues, bars, hotels, restaurants, and tours. I checked out “the Beatles Story,” a fantastic museum chronicling their history, and I visited “the Hard Day’s Night Hotel,” with its Beatles’ memorabilia and its statues of the “Four Lads Who Shook the World” on the roof. I visited the “Rubber Soul Oyster Bar,” the “Cavern Pub,” with its statue of John in front, the “Lucy in the Sky Restaurant,” located on the site of the original “Cavern Club,” where the Beatles began their career, and the Grapes, a pub where the Beatles often had a few pints between sets at the Cavern. I found a “Fab 4” store, a “From Me to You Beatles Superstore,” a “Fab Four Taxi Tour,” and a “Magical Mystery Tour.” I searched for the boyhood homes of both John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and I checked out many of the memorable Liverpool locations that appeared in their lyrics, including “the long and winding road” that led to “Strawberry Field” near where John was raised by his Aunt Mimi, and “Penny Lane” where I found there was still a barbershop, a bank, and “a shelter in the middle of the roundabout”— just as described in the lyrics from so many years ago. I even found a sculpture of pieces of luggage, entitled “Liverpool: A Case History,” located near the boys’ schools (and designed by John King, a Canadian) and a statue of
“Eleanor Rigby,” dedicated to “all the lonely people.” I also learned that Paul supposedly worked on the song Lovely Rita, Meter Maid after receiving a parking ticket! City Councillor Joe Anderson said: “This is a hugely significant year in the history of the Beatles and it’s one Liverpool couldn’t let pass by without a huge celebration … We should never underestimate the power of The Beatles to attract visitors to the city, and this year-long celebration will bring even more fans to Liverpool, which will bring a much-needed boost to our local economy.” Back in July, the annual “Mathew Street Festival” highlighted the Beatles’ 50th anniversary celebrations, as did “Beatles Day” (which was held on July 10 this year). I had the good fortune to be in Liverpool for the very first official “Beatles Day” celebration in 2008. Another of this year’s special events still to come is a one-man play celebrating the life of Brian Epstein, the Beatles’ original manager and mastermind. Epstein The Play will be the first major production in the new Liverpool Epstein Theatre and will run between November 15 and December 1. Yet another scheduled event, on December 7, is the “Bootleg Beatles,” a tribute band that will perform a two-hour show that features Beatles’ songs. On December 8, the annual “John Lennon Peace
A statue of Eleanor Rigby in Liverpool.
Vigil” will take place at Liverpool’s European Peace Monument on the anniversary of John Lennon’s assassination in New York. Also on that same weekend (December 7 to 9), the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall will celebrate Beatles’ music. If you can’t make it to Liverpool, but enjoy the Beatles’ music, then you can always participate in
our very own Empire Theatre’s “Beatles Weekend,” which will begin in Belleville on October 19. And if you do plan to visit Liverpool itself in the near future, be sure to check out its John Lennon Airport, too. Here you’ll find a yellow submarine and a line from Imagine used as the airport’s motto: “Above us only sky.”
This photo of the Beatles arriving in North America is found in Liverpool’s ‘the Beatles Story’ museum.

Centre wants to enhance outreach EMC News - Havelock The Campbellford and District Community Mental Health Centre wants to strengthen outreach opportunities in Havelock-BelmontMethuen. “We want to know where you think our energy would be best served. How do you think it would be best to get out into the community?” program co-ordinator Robin English said during a visit with township council. Havelock-Trent River represents the second highest number of referrals (14 per cent or 58) to the Centre, manager Linda Bradshaw noted. “Outreach is important for us because transportation is a huge issue for clients,” Bradshaw said. “We’re really open to making this more accessible to the people of Havelock.” Bradshaw says the Health Centre wants to “open up a little bit of communication” with the township and demonstrate the “referral patterns” and the fact that residents in HBM and area are already accessing a variety of services offered in Campbellford. “One of the things we are mandated to do is to try to do as much outreach as possible. We help with education and the stigma-reduction associated with mental illness.” During the summer centre staff spent a great deal of time talking about how they could “maximize outreach.” “We want to get feedback from you in terms of where we can do some outreach,” Bradshaw said, “specific venues where we could plug into
to make people aware of our services and to open up lines of communication so that it becomes easier for people here to do some reaching out. “We know there are still little pockets of communities who are not aware that we are there.” “We need to educate people and let them know about mental health, mental illness,” English added. “People who have mental health issues are not people to be afraid of. The more we educate, the more comfortable people get in coming forward; they’re not embarrassed, they’re not frightened. “We just find the more we talk about it the more comfortable people are in talking about it.” English said events like Skate 4 Life in Hastings break down barriers and raise the Centre’s profile. “It was wonderful to see the community come together to support that,” she said of Skate 4 Life which raised funds for the Do It For Daron Foundation in memory of 14-year-old Daron Richardson, the daughter of former NHL star Luke Richardson, who committed suicide. After events like Skate 4 Life and Margaret Trudeau’s talk at Campbellford District High School the number of referrals jump, Bradshaw noted The centre works with adults and youth and is hopeful of increasing connections within the Havelock community. They’ve brought their services to other communities with success. “That’s what we’re trying to do in Havelock,” said Eng-
Council wants to learn EMC News - Havelock The provincial government is currently establishing guidelines municipalities can use regarding the quality of fill being imported to a receiving site and Havelock-BelmontMethuen wants to learn more about how municipalities are approaching the issue. The council request for more information was sparked by a resolution being circulated by the Town of East Gwillimbury that has asked the Ministry of Environment to “establish regulations and a provincially regulated approval process to govern the quality of fill imported to a receiving site other than for the purpose of brownfield redevelopment.” HBM Mayor Ron Gerow noted that one Peterborough County municipality is currently “looking at developing such a bylaw to deal with this sort of thing. “In one municipality, if not more, there has been fill which wasn’t desirable being trucked in,” Mayor Gerow said. “Unless you have some bylaw to regulate that you really have no way of stopping it,” he said. “East Gwillimbury is asking the province to implement some sort of regulation prohibiting contaminated soil being trucked in. “I think supporting this would be appropriate,” CAO Linda Reed said. “It would give us a chance to contact a couple of municipalities in
Ontario that have issues.” Reed noted that some municipalities have had “serious difficulties” with some of the fill being imported into their jurisdictions. “It may be a county issue but I think it’s appropriate to look at what others are doing,” she said. Once staff has gathered the information council can then determine what action they might want to take, Reed added.
EMC News - Fund raising has begun in earnest by the Auxiliary to the Campbellford Memorial
Hospital with their first event, with bottles piled high around them at a bottle drive held last Saturday. “We had a great day at the Beer Store. Our total for the seven hours is $924,” said Betty Leppanen, past president of the Auxiliary, from left, with Auxiliary Co-Chair Pat Bannister and one of the people who donated, Connie Clifford of Campbellford. “I saw the bottle drive article in the paper and I want to support the hospital,” said Clifford. “We have a lot of generous people in Campbellford. I am so delighted it was so successful,” said Leppanen. The money will go toward the purchase of a portable vital signs monitor and upgrade to central monitoring stations. Photo: Sue Dickens

lish. Any “guidance” council and the township can provide in terms of contacts and connections would be appreciated, they said. “Keep us in mind when you move through your different circles,” Bradshaw said. Mayor Ron Gerow remarked on HBM’s large seniors population and wondered about services for the elderly. The centre does provide services for older adults and promotes access to additional specialized services, Bradshaw said. “We have worked hard to develop partnerships to try to become the hub where people can receive mental health services.”

Diamond Jubilee honours for local residents By Bill Freeman
EMC News - Hastings There were expressions of surprise, disbelief but also of a deep sense of honour as seven local residents, including four from Trent Hills, received Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals during a joyful ceremony at the Hastings Civic Centre. The recipients, Hector Macmillan, Tonya Smith, Joy Petherick and Jason Rae of Trent Hills; Rosemarie Robins and Louise Stevenson of Alnwick-Haldimand and Dave Mowat of Alderville First Nation received their medals from Nor-
thumberland-Quinte West MP Rick Norlock as part of a national ceremony to mark the 60th anniversary
Rosemarie Robins
of the Queen’s accession to the throne. They were among the 30 recipients, selected from nearly 100 nominees, to receive medallions in three ceremonies across the riding. “It’s a great honour and a privilege to be able to choose people who you find make a difference in the riding,” Norlock told the Northwest EMC. “I’m amazed at what people do. Every community has some special people in them that are good examples for us to emulate.” Norlock called the recipients “altruistic citizens who

ter the ceremony. The mayor of Trent Hills was honoured for his political work in the municipality and as part of the Eastern Ontario Warden’s Caucus as well as his tireless efforts
to raise funds for cancer research. “I do what I do because it’s my nature, it wasn’t to be rewarded for anything in particular,” Macmillan said. “I like to help my community. I was born and raised here; this is home and it always will be,” he said. “It’s great to be recognized for some of the things that go on in the background that people don’t see. It is terrific to have so many people in our community recognized for doing exactly that.” Macmillan said he was thoroughly impressed listening to the résumés of the recipients. “That’s a brief touch of what people do in the background of our communities. It takes volunteers to make it a wonderful and warm place to live.” “I’m just shocked,” added Smith, involved in a number of volunteer endeavours in Hastings including the Hastings Helpers and the Let Them Be Kids playground. “It’s rewarding without being recognized; that’s why I feel we do stuff in the community,” she said. “You don’t think twice about it; it just comes naturally. It just makes you want to get out there more and do it. “I can’t believe I’m standing up with all these people.
I’m trying to take it all in.” “I’m very touched and honoured to be with all the incredibly communityminded people,” said Joy Petherick, president of the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society. “I’m extremely honoured.” “It was very shocking to get this award,” said Rae, a barrier-breaker for people living with disabilities as the president of the Board of Directors of Community Living Campbellford/Brighton

in 2000. “There’s a whole lot of really good in this world,” he said. “I’m quite surprised that this has all happened,” said Robins, the first woman elected in Alnwick Township. “I had no idea that I’d be honoured in this way. There are a lot of things you can do in your community to help the people who are there.”

Abuzz at Campbell’s Honey House

EMC News - Warkworth There’s something abuzz at Campbell’s Honey House as Hugh Campbell and his son Peter gather bee hives for the second and final extraction of the season. It’s a process that has been going on at the honey house for the past 30 years. “We have 1,200 colonies and each colony has about 100,000 bees,” said Hugh as he keeps an eye on the extraction from the honeycombs. It’s a process that has been going on since the Stone Age. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs tasted by archaeologists has been found to be edible. Not that the honey at Campbell’s Honey House
sticks around that long. Each summer it is shipped out in drums that hold 600 pounds of the sweet nectar. “We ship as much as we can produce. It goes to people that sell to the stores mostly,” said Hugh as he checked the temperature of the honey filling one of their barrels. “Temperature is very important. People who come here to buy our honey want to know, is this honey pasteurized. We tell them no, it’s not,” he commented. “The thermometer there says it’s 98 degrees … We try to keep it under 120 de-
grees.” Pasteurization of honey occurs at a much higher temperature. “All this honey is natural. It is 100 per cent what the bees bring in,” he said, adding, “Once you pasteurize it you take the goodness out of it.” “We think our honey is the best in the world because it’s pure and it’s not blended with anything,” he added. But temperature is not the only thing the Campbells watch closely. They monitor their bees as well. “Last year was a very
their own bees from their existing colonies to replace those killed. “I built this place from scratch,” he said, noting that it was his son and younger brother Stuart, [now deceased], who decided to turn a beekeeping hobby into a business. “We’re the only commercial beekeeping operation in Northumberland County,” he said. “It’s costly but we’re the
only beekeeper for miles around that is inspected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.” This weekend will be the last one the honey house will be open for local business (Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) as the Campbells begin preparations for the end of the season. The honey house is located at 220 Campbell Road, R.R. #5, Warkworth.

poor year because most of our bees died over the winter,” said Peter. “It is a problem all over the world now, keeping them alive,” he added. In fact the deaths of honeybees was so widespread that the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to Ontario’s sent a survey to commercial beekeepers. The winter 2010/2011 level of honey bee colony mortality among Ontario commercial beekeepers was determined to be 43 per cent. For the Campbells it was closer to 50 per cent of their bees, 600 colonies were killed. Everything from varroa mites to pesticides is being blamed and it’s happening worldwide. “Nobody seems to know what’s killing them. The universities are studying it,” said Hugh pragmatically, explaining they had to raise

Arts Quinte West gallery features local artists By Kate Everson

Barber, Luedecke to play Stirling festival
By Richard Turtle
EMC Entertainment Stirling - Some special musical guests are planning on travelling a long way to attend the Hastings County Beer Festival next month. When Curt Dunlop arrived for another visit to Farmtown Park prior to the hosting of the second annual food and drink festival, he brought along a bit of news about some visitors he invited. Entertainers scheduled to appear at the October 13 event include Winnipeg’s Del Barber and Newfoundland banjo player Old Man Luedecke, says the event’s organizer and Bracebrigde-based Griffin Gastropub partner. Of Barber, Dunlop notes, “you get nominated for a Juno [in 2011] and everything changes.” Delighted with the musical participants, he says music was a priority owing to additional government funding received this year. And with the hopes of
drawing at least 1,000 visitors to the two scheduled tastings planned for the Saturday afternoon and evening (noon to 3 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m.) the event will take up a little more space than last year. Dunlop was meeting with museum officials Sandy Donnan and Ron Reid to make some of the arrangements for the expanded festival. Instead of being held solely in Heritage Village, the facility’s reproduced streetscape, the museum will also offer access to four other buildings onsite. And while most of the vendors will be posted in Heritage Village, activities will also be going on elsewhere. Along with some topranked musical entertainment, Dunlop says, the festival will feature locally grown foods as well as beers and wines from craft brewers and wineries nearby and from other parts of Ontario. Last year
there were six breweries onsite with products for sampling with the number at least doubling this year, Dunlop says. There will also be significantly more local food vendors this year offering meat including locally smoked sausage and cured meats, cheese, apples and other produce as well as dishes served by Capers, Burger Revolution and Spring Brook Farms. Further information is available on the Internet at <hastingsbeerfestival. ca> where visitors can also order tickets at a 25 per cent discount ($40 regular price) until Sunday. Ticket price includes festival glass, entertainment, access to several of the museum’s exhibits and food and drink during the session.

Theatre, said the new festival is entitled the Empire Beatles Weekend, a metamorphosis of the Abbey Road On The River Canada held in the Empire Square. “We have had a lot of people that have asked, both from the region and from the United States where we play some of these festivals, whether we were going to do this again,” explained Forgie. The short answer is, “Hell, yes!” Forgie said the festival is indoors this time at the Theatre and will run Friday night and all day Saturday concluding with an after party and jam session to wrap up the festival that night. Belleville’s own All You Need Is Love is hosting the two-day event with alumni from North America’s premier Beatles event, Abbey Road on The River, including The Newbees, The English Channel, Big Black Smoke, The Caverners and The Traveling Beatleburys. Forgie’s AYNIL band will be performing the Love al-
bum, a performance the band has been playing in the states with an ensemble cast in the U.S., for the first time the band will be playing it in Canada. Forgie said the most common version of the album is used in the Cirque Du Soleil, which he said is a true orchestra experience with at times having upwards of 30 people on stage. “We are the only flesh and blood human beings that play that album live; it is an incredible mash up of Beatles songs, very intricate and very complex,” said Forgie. A Saturday “Beatle Brunch” will be held in the Empire Theatre lounges and there will be Beatles collectibles and merchandise on sale all weekend. Forgie said the festival will hopefully remain as an annual treat for the friendly city. The capacity of the theatre is set at 700 people so Forgie advised buying tickets in advance.

explained Tumpane. The Warkworth Community Medical Centre was built in 1973 and currently houses a physician and a family health team, a dentist, and a massage therapist. It handles over 700 visits and 900 telephone calls a month, and so plays a significant role in the delivery of health care services to our community. The Warkworth Community Service Club played a leadership role in its development and currently manages the facility on behalf of the municipality.

“It just shows you how many families relied on the tannery for a living over the years,” he said. “That photo really made this calendar very special.” The calendars have opened up wide avenues of communication between the Historical Society and people living thousands of miles away. “We’re making good contacts from coast-to-coast,” Coveney says. One photo, a picture of an early 1900s Hastings lacrosse team, came from a family in British Columbia; they’ve also had conversations with the Hawaiian branch of the Coughlan family of Hastings. “They were delighted to see that there is a wealth of family history in Hastings.” The calendar “meshes in” with what the society is doing to preserve and celebrate local history, he says. “The next phase of it is how to store it. It will ultimately be stored on a USB flash drive and can be shared everywhere, the fact that it can live on and we can share it on the Internet and it will not get lost in people’s attics

There are 250 in this year’s publication run and Coveney is confident they’ll sell out; last year the society produced just over 200 calendars. “There is still some demand for the older ones and we have a few left from 2012,” Coveney told the Northwest EMC during a conversation at the Hastings Village Market where calendars are for sale.

flood that devastated parts of the City of Peterborough. “This disaster is without a doubt, a defining moment in our city’s history,” says Lynn Peterson, co-chair of the Thunder Bay and Area Disaster Relief Committee. On May 28 more rain fell on Thunder Bay and area over a two-hour period than normally falls on the city the entire month of May causing extensive damage and flooding in the city. Damage to private and public property is estimated at over $100 million. “In the aftermath of this tragedy you could see piles of flood-damaged belongings strewn across front yards,” Peterson said. “Most heartwrenching were the stories of overwhelming loss of property, family pictures and a place to call home.” Long after the event, flood victims are “discovering that the suffering caused by this disaster continues to impact their lives,” she said. “While much of the cleanup has been completed, there are thousands of affected homeowners and businesses faced with the task of repairing the damage and restoring some normalcy,” Peterson said. It’s estimated that between $15 million and $20 million is needed to help people who didn’t have insurance or were under-insured. The provincial government declared the area a disaster area which entitled the municipality to access funds through the Ontario Disaster Relief Assistance Program (ODRAP). The local disaster relief committee is working toward raising funds to support flood victims. “Our ability to help our neighbours overcome this tragedy and create a positive
outcome will also leave a lasting mark,” Peterson added. Township councillors were sympathetic with the city’s plight but were reluctant to commit funding support of any amount. “When we’ve been asked for charitable donations from groups like the United Way or the hospital we’ve always said that it’s not our job to give taxpayers’ money to worthy causes; people can do that on their own,” Councillor Mary Hay said. “Certainly it’s a worth-

while cause and in 2004 we certainly know how much the money that came to Peterborough was appreciated,” Hay said. She suggested council receive the request and to “encourage people to give of their own resources.” “I think if we were in the same position we’d want similar support,” said Councillor Roy Millett. “I think the donations of support should be paid by the province and in that way we’re all paying for it.”
Peterson and the relief committee are appealing to municipalities across Ontario for assistance. “As a community we need to raise $5 million to help those affected by the flood,” she said. Support from outside the Thunder Bay area is “essential to helping us meet this goal,” Peterson says.

Helicopters will soar again at fair

EMC News - Norwood They were the unsurprising hit of the 2011 Norwood Fair and Kouri’s Kopters will make a return appearance at the 144th edition of the Thanksgiving Weekend event. Township council has officially endorsed a request for approval from the Norwood Agricultural Society with just one last-minute letter of opposition from a ratepayer who did not want the email shared beyond council’s perusal. “It was apparent that it was pretty popular last year,” Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley said of the two days of rides that gave fairgoers a bird’s-eye view of the area after the helicopters took off from J.J. Stewart Field. “I don’t see a problem,” Crowley said. “I know they were at the Hastings County Plowing Match and at other venues that were very successful and much appreciated by the public that rode it. “I appreciated the concerns expressed in the letter. If there’s a change of route
that’s fine.” “I recall we had a complaint last year and I talked to the Fair Board and the secretary assured me they will change the route as much as they can,” Councillor Roy Millett said. “He assured me he would do everything they could to change the route.” “The helicopters were a hit last year and we assume they will be again in 2012,” Agricultural Society secretary-

Chief Bryan said. “We are grateful to Enbridge for their generous donations to all three of our departments.” “The safety of the community is a priority we share with local fire departments and we commend their dedication to safety and are proud to offer Project Assist to help enhance their training efforts, Enbridge operations manager Trevor Tuck said. The Fire Marshal’s Public Safety Council was established in 1993. It operates at arm’s length from the government and promotes fire prevention and public education through sponsorships and partnerships with individuals and groups.

EMC News - Norwood Fire departments in Trent Hills, Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee South-Monaghan received a “huge boost” from Enbridge Gas Distribution and the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office Monday that will help enhance fire training education. Each Fire and Rescue Department received a $5,000 donation from Enbridge’s Safe Community Fund which has teamed up with the Fire Marshal’s Public Safety Council; the partnership will see 20 municipal fire departments across the province receive a total of $100,000 to be used to improve access to training materials. “This is a huge improvement for our training operations,” Asphodel-Norwood Fire Chief Chuck Pedersen said. “It’s a significant amount of money compared to our annual [training] budget. The donation represents over 60 per cent of what the 35-member volunteer fire department would spend for training each year, Chief Pedersen noted. “For us it’s a huge boost for our training and resources,” he said. “There’s a lot of things to do with reading smoke that we are lacking [and] some stuff from the 1980s and VHS tapes that

six-a-side football, he said, which is played at schools like St. Mary’s and Bayside. The Junior Flames, with 32 players, are the flipside with a very eager roster. “These guys are very keen and committed,” Saito said. “We have a very athletic team this year. I’m very pleasantly surprised to see what skill level they’re at.” The emergence of the Trent Hills Titans minor football program has helped enormously, he says. “It has helped at the junior level. At the senior level, I’m not sure yet. It does take a while but it definitely has at junior.” There are at least five Titans in their first year with the juniors. “They have that game experience, they have practice experience. They end up taking a lead role and helping the guys who have never played at all in developing skills.” Saito and the coaching staff look to those experienced players for leadership on and off the field and he says it is evident. “They understand the leadership role and what it
takes to be a leader, hopefully they follow that through in the classroom as well [because] it’s all about developing student athletes. “We want them to enjoy it. For me it’s having the kids involved and participating in sport,” he said. “Numberswise this is a great sport where a lot of different body types can play.” And they learn about teamwork, an attribute that carries into the school and beyond, Saito says. “There are so many different things happening on the field at once. You need that real team effort to achieve your goals.” For some students, football is their first experience of team sports and Saito says he has watched students blossom both personally and academically. “They’ve learned all these team-building and leadership skills and it will help them in life.”
Benefits of early evaluation and treatment include: • helping to prevent speech impediments • helping to prevent prematurely lost & misaligned teeth • helping to prevent dental & jaw pain • fewer cavities as food does not get stuck in tight spots For children, orthodontic consultation and treatment should begin at the first sign of problems, or at age 6, when the first adult molars erupt. During a regular checkup, your dentist can advise you whether they believe your child needs orthodontic treatment.

EMC Sports - Campbellford - The Campbellford District High School Junior Flames football team will be the lone squad carrying the ball for the school this year and the squad is anxious to kick their Kawartha League Tier II season off today against the Thomas A. Stewart Griffins. Low turnout ruled out fielding a senior team this season, says CDHS teacher and coach Saijo Saito. From a maximum of 17 players the tryout roster dwindled to 14 and “it was just not safe” to put a team into league play, Saito says. But the coach is happy that the Kawartha District Athletic Association allowed CDHS to offer three senior players to Norwood District High School; two Flames players took up the offer and will play for the Knights. “We’re a little disappointed but at senior sports there’s a

event. Pettey, 28, has an impressive track record when it comes to the shot put having set a world record with his 11.44-metre shot put throw in the paralympics at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, breaking his own previous record of 11.24. Since then others have gone the distance and the bar has been raised with the world record being broken twice so now if he wants to be the best he has to throw better than 11.58. “I am going to have to throw over 11.50 to at least medal,” he told EMC, before leaving for the games, while sitting in the kitchen of his parents’ home; Kathy and David Pettey live on the family farm south of Campbellford. Pettey had best throw of the season at 11.41 metres which placed him sixth out of 16 competitors.

Executives needed By Bill Freeman
EMC Sports - Norwood Norwood District Minor Softball celebrated a successful season for its small group of Storm teams but needs to draw at least four more people to its executive or there may be no softball in Norwood next year. “Participation-wise our league is quite strong,” NDMS president Larry Sullivan said during the association’s annual awards night. “The difficulty is that we ended the season with four executive. Only because most of the heavy lifting was done, were we able to finish the season.” Sullivan is urging parents to support local youth
ball by stepping up to help on the executive and invited those with an interest to attend their October 2 annual general meeting at the Norwood fire hall. “If there are four executive going into the season next year there won’t be a season,” he said quite candidly. “October 2 is an important date; hopefully three or four will step forward and carry this forward because I think it’s a tremendous league.” There were between 60 and 70 youngsters involved in house league ball and a Junior Mite, two Squirt teams and two Peewee Please see “Storm” on page 23

“I love the kids. It’s very satisfying for me to see them come, have fun and play; they really do enjoy it,” she told the Northwest EMC. “I’ll be here as long as they want to play. I’ve watched them from the time they were two feet tall to now [and] they’re taller than I am.” It gives her great pleasure to see Heat veterans like Emily Angermann step up and become soccer volunteers. Emily, a member of the U-18 squad, was the chief organizer of this year’s Timbits development program and its 41 young players. “It was a very successful Timbits year. She set up the program, she got the coaches. She did an awesome job,” said Flagler. “That’s what I like to see,” she said of youth giving back to the program. She hopes the Timbits coaches stick with the club and continue to coach when their young children graduate to the travelling program. Volunteers and a valuable team of partners help make the Heat program work. “There are just so many who help out with soccer. The generosity around town for prizes is overwhelming.” Registration has “pretty much stabilized around the 190-200 mark” for the past four or five years, she says. They are maxed out as far as fields are concerned.

Skies over Stirling abuzz with small planes By Richard Turtle
EMC News - Stirling - The local airport was buzzing with activity this weekend as members of the Oak Hills Flying Club hosted a weekend fly-in. Organizer Jim Halls says weather was ideal for much of the weekend with flights arriving and departing through much of Saturday and Sunday. “I think it’s been pretty good,” says Halls of the first-time event that attracted pilots and an array of aircraft from other parts of the province. As well, local vendors offered lunches, entertainment and 50/50 tickets were available and
flights in an out provided sightseeing tours for several visitors. And while they have held similar fly-ins in the past, he says, last weekend’s event was the first of such duration and scope. While organizers had anticipated more aircraft than the dozen or so that arrived each day, weather played a part with unsettled skies and cooler temperatures arriving late last week. But the weekend skies cleared offering local residents a chance to learn more about the facilities here as well as the services available at the small airport. Christine Kilgore, who along with Halls owns and
Hayden Pfeiffer was among the visitors during this week’s fly-in at Stirling Airport. Here he gets the feel for Jim Davidson’s ultralight, while remaining firmly on the ground. Photo: Richard Turtle

operates Stirling Ultralights, was eager to take to the skies over the weekend in the couple’s Highlander, providing air transport with perfect visibility and a bird’s eye view of the township below. And as the planes came and went, photographers and spectators lined sections of the runway for a close-up look of some of the more in-
teresting aircraft while cars lined the road nearby and visitors walked among the parked planes. The airport show also featured representatives providing information on various clubs and groups affiliated with the airport including instructors, aircraft builders and mechanics and well as the pilots themselves. And the air traffic around
Stirling has increased significantly in the last five years with several new additions to the local facility as well as many new aircraft. It’s currently the 40 and over age group who are showing the most interest, says Kilgore. While younger members are encouraged, she says, flying does pose a few financial obstacles when children and other earthbound dis-
tractions are more pressing priorities. But now a pilot for six years and a member of that 40 and over age group, she admits there is nothing quite like the freedom of flight. And last weekend at the Stirling Airport, regardless of age or experience, there were plenty of opportunities to learn how to get a flying career off the ground.

Mini stick rink the real deal for young people By Bill Freeman
EMC News - Norwood The rink inside the rink is going to be the talk of the local hockey world this season. The Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre unveiled its new mini stick rink last week and it’s already a magnet of activity for youngsters visiting the arena with family and friends or simply dropping by to ply their mini sticks on the 26-foot by 13-foot miniature rink that’s been installed in the standing concourse above the section six seating area. “I’m extremely pleased with it,” community centre manager Greg Hartwick said. “The kids come in here go right up there and play. They’ve never seen anything like this before,” Hartwick told the Northwest EMC. “They make a beeline up there.” Hartwick says that nonhockey playing visitors to the community centre are just as likely to be playing in the mini sticks rink. During a recent tourney kids were “playing constantly in it all day.” “It’s good to have another avenue for the kids.” The idea of building a mini stick rink took form after it was decided that the Euro Hornets team would not be travelling to Europe. The Euro Hornets had raised $9,085 before the plug was pulled on the tour. The majority of the people

involved in the fund raising decided that it would be a worthwhile community project to invest that money in the miniature rink. Since that decision, Hartwick says they have had a steady stream of donations to the project. There was also a con-
tribution from the David Andrews memorial hockey tourney held last spring. Community Centre staff and volunteers helped put the rink together. To highlight the Euro Hornets contribution there is a collection of Euro memorabilia hanging on the wall
behind the mini rink glass. “They’re still “a little short” with fund raising for the $13,565 rink, Hartwick adds. “It’s not a bad size,” he says of the rink. “The netting was a struggle at times but it all turned out okay.” They are still awaiting
three sheets of glass which couldn’t be installed because they were an “inch off” the correct size. Hartwick will post the rules that apply to the mini stick rink which include no slap shots, no pucks and no regular hockey sticks. The community centre is going
to order plastic mini sticks emblazoned with the Hornets logo. “There have been no issues at all; the kids kind of police it themselves. I think most kids are pretty good about sharing.” The rink is monitored by a camera as well centre staff.

A new beginning for local athlete By Ray Yurkowski
EMC News - Trenton - Local strongman Rich Machell is pumped. And for a guy who was willing to give up on the world of competition just a couple of months back, it’s a renaissance. “I was close to giving up on strongman,” he said. “The fact that it is not a drug-tested sport and guys will do anything to win went against what I stand for.” Machell mentions competing at drug-tested powerlifting events where he set four Canadian records and all he wants now is a level playing field, a situation where everyone has the same opportunity. And that can’t happen when you’re competing against performance-enhancing drugs. “Competitors on steroids have a huge advantage,” he said. “Steroids break records - records that someone not on steroids could never hope to beat.” Enter the power of Google. An online search led Machell to the World’s Natural Strongman Federation (WNSF), based in Hungary. Since 2006, the organization has been recognized as the natural strongman sport governing body for steroidfree athletes. Their mission:
to encourage participation at all levels and develop athletes of national and international calibre. Their goal is to introduce strongman events as a demonstration
sport at a future Olympics. Machell contacted WNSF and the reply included an invitation to their international competition at Calgary on September 29, the
first ever in Canada and fifth this year worldwide, following sanctioned events in Australia, Sweden, France and England. “This is a huge step in my strongman competition career and I couldn’t be more proud to represent Canada against drug-free strongman from around the world,” he said. “It’s a long way to go and I really haven’t had a lot of time to train, but I’m not going to miss this opportunity. I couldn’t turn it down.” “I want to be able to tell people you don’t have to cross that line,” he added. “To able to do what I do without performance-enhancing drugs … I want every high school student out there to know that. I want everybody to know there is an alternative. You have choices in life.”
The primary reason why performance-enhancing drugs are outlawed in professional sports is that they give users an unfair advantage over the rest of the field. And with a high-school-age daughter at home he wonders, “how can I take drugs and, at the same time, tell her to stay off drugs?” Why the interest in strongman events, given its list of bizarre events: lifting logs, cars or huge stones, flipping giant tires or pulling vehicles? “A lot of people don’t understand it,” he said. “My wife thinks I’m nuts, but it’s doing something others can’t. “It’s a dream. I can perform in a sport I train for; I eat, sleep and breathe. There’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.” Strongmen have been
a fascination since ancient history. Mythology gave us Hercules along with Atlas, the primordial Titan who supported the heavens, and feats of strength have been around since the first Olympic Games. In the mid-19th century, there was quite a bit of money to be made for professional strongmen, at county fairs and town theatres. Louis Cyr, a Canadian regarded as the father of modern strength events, lifted a horse clear off the ground at his first-ever strongman competition in Boston, at the age of 17. But for the 29-year-old local competitor, a trip to Alberta represents a turning point. “It’s a new beginning,” he said. “I’m in a good place right now and now it’s show time.”

New board means symphony survives billed as “a farewell concert” which would be offered free to the public, after which a general meeting would vote on the dissolution plan. That concert is expected to be removed from the agenda once the new board starts preparing for a new concert season. Still unknown is the situation of long-timed conductor Gordon Craig, who was expected at the meeting but did not show up. In her farewell speech, Lisa Kemp, flutist, praised Craig’s work with the symphony over some 20 years and commented how the orchestra’s sound had improved “tremendously.” She also reviewed her own long association with the orchestra, starting as a youthful student flutist. “I am thrilled to see eight people coming forward for a new board. The community is lucky to have the symphony,” Apart from entertaining many thousands of audience members over the years, the
symphony has served the entire community as a cultural resource for training for amateur and youthful musicians. A number of former players have gone on to successful professional music careers.

EMC News - Belleville A crowded annual general meeting of the Quinte Symphony Corporation Sunday evening saw the 52-year-old organization get a reprieve from a planned dissolution. Eight volunteers stepped forward in Bridge Street Church Sills Auditorium to form a new board after the previous board resigned en masse. Before resigning, the former board had compiled a plan for dissolution which was to have been presented at the meeting if a new board could not be formed. The new board includes Belleville Councillor Jodie Jenkins and Quinte Health Care staff member Kevin Jackson, and is expected to meet within days to elect officers and plan a strategy to get the music performance group up and running again as soon as possible. That will include an intensive fund-raising effort to get the board’s finances on a solid footing. Part of the former board’s exit plan included what was

EMC Business - Quinte West - Trenval has had a very busy and successful 25 years. Past board members and guests gathered at the Ramada on September 13 to celebrate its achievements with a dinner. Director Bruce Davis and Chair Glenn Kozak invited members to give tribute to the success of the business. This included Peter Briscoe, Eben James Jr., Bob LaFrance, Jack Dingle, Chris Herrington, Doug Law, Gerrit DeBruyn, Jack McFadden, Bob Rowbotham, Rosemary Davis, David Valcamp, Tom Shillington, Jacques Pilon, Bob Burkitt, Joe Fernandes, Ray Goulet, Glenn LeClair, David Wilson, Rick Barfitt, Derrick Morgan, Carl Swan, Lionel Bourgeois and Karen Theriault. The members also recognized those deceased. A moment of silence was held for Jack Gibbons. “He had looked forward to being here,” Bruce Davis said. Other deceased board members included Doug Whitley, William McIlveen, Roy Rittwage, Tom Nobles, Brian Todd, John Sager, Alan Lawrence, Frank Hamilton and Ralph Weaver. Mayor John Williams said Trenval has a great legacy and has helped so many entrepreneurs. “It’s a true success story,” he said. “They have helped small businesses and supported thousands of jobs.” Trenval Business Development Corporation started at 5 Stewart Street in Trenton in 1987. Now it has its own office at Loyalist College and has nine partners. A grand opening will be held October 15, the beginning of Small Business Week. Northumberland Quinte West MP Rick Norlock presented a certificate to chair Glenn Kozak for Trenval, saying it had a quarter of a century of positive influence on the area. Prince Edward Hastings MP Daryl Kramp said not many organizations operate as well as Trenval. “It has been a phenomenal success,” he said. Kozak noted that Trenval had given out 650 loans worth $25 million in the past 25 years and had impacted 3,000 jobs. There are currently 350 loans in place and $1.5 million reinvested each year. “Success stories continue to grow,” he said. Eben James Junior said he remembered when they all were sitting around in discussions in 1987 and then celebrating when it became

LIFESTYLES
The Good Earth: EMC Lifestyles - As always, Gentle Reader, gardening should not be a chore. Once you begin thinking along those lines you need to adapt some practices. There is a bit of fall work approaching and it will require some physical effort. Perhaps this is the year you invite family to help you. If you do this, be prepared. Do the thinking before your kin show up so you can accomplish everything that needs doing, so their efforts are focussed on the task on hand and not dashing to the garden centre, and so that the incredible harvest feast you prepared, with the help of other kinfolk, can be truly enjoyed. If you are hiring someone to help, doesn’t matter if it’s the kids next door or
a professional outfit, being prepared is still important. Be clear in what it is you want done and the manner by which you want it done. At appropriate times, remembering that time is money, offer the workers a beverage and maybe even a small snack (homemade cookies are always welcomed). It is surprising how many of my professional colleagues mention this when they come to the wholesale counter. Okay, to business: Task # 1 Relax, your lawn is not in as bad a shape as you think it is. Task #2 Get busy, your lawn needs your help right now. For those of us who did let our lawns go dormant this summer, we were probably
Reality Check:
Sheila Wray Gregoire EMC Lifestyles - The world is filled with so much beauty. Is there anything as adorable as a baby’s chubby wrists? Or as heart stopping as the first kiss with someone you love? Walking out in nature is a feast
of beauty, too: the rainbow after the storm; the bird songs that announce the arrival of spring; the mountains that steal one’s breath away. If one is to believe in God—and I do—then I think these little glimpses of our natural world show us something fundamental about him. God’s actually pretty good. That is not to say that life is always trouble free, but I wonder how many of our hardships are really God’s fault, and how many are simply the stuff of life? A good friend of mine, in his forties, was just diagnosed with cancer. Earlier this month our family marked the sixteenth anniversary of my baby boy’s death.
Early fall tasks
not prepared for the exuberant emergence of crabgrass. We might be intellectually aware that this warm season annual prays to the gardening gods for such a drouthy summer and we know that they have literally millions of seeds laying about on each and every lawn in Canada (except for the one I saw in Glover’s Tickle, Newfoundland, which was a jumble of rocks, all painted green). As daunting as it might appear today, normal lawn care practices will have the balance set aright by next spring. Once the lawn has “greened up,” give it a light raking and hand pull any broadleaf weeds that might have crept into the mix; thistles, henbit, and chicory have had a good summer. So, top dress and over-
seed this fall. My suggestion is that you take a close look at fescue blends, they are not as showy as bluegrasses but they tolerate both heat and drought better, require less water and will grow in poorer soils. As well, they need less nitrogen and phosphorous. Next spring; apply corn gluten as a pre-emergent herbicide to take care of crabby’s progeny. Task#3 Enjoy your vegetable garden’s bounty. If you don’t have one, or need to supplement the quantity, go to your local farmers’ markets and/or search out farm gate opportunities. A “farm gate” operation is where you can go directly to the farm to purchase food from the grower. Folks, this is really important. We need to sup-
port our country neighbours. They need our help, and we need theirs: “Farmers Feed Cities” is a truism, let’s make sure that it is our farmers who are feeding us. A Gentle Reader, Juanita Swayze, will back me up on this. Task#4 Start dividing your perennials and ornamental grasses now. Yes, you can do them later and yes; you can do them next spring but now is the best time. Why not start with day lilies or any perennial that has finished flowering or does not have fall interest? Task #5 Start planting spring bulbs now. In fact if you divide your perennials and plant the bulbs at the same time you might confuse Sammy Squirrel. Task#6
Dan Clost Take notes. For example, I noticed that lavender, Diamond Frost euphorbia and sedum thrived in our garden this summer while many others consigned themselves to the composter. Those plants are on my shopping list. By the way, so are pansies. We have two containers in which they bloomed all year long. Plan your work, spread it out, enjoy what you are doing.
What a beautiful world Life is certainly full of pain. Yet perhaps the reason we recognize the pain and rage at it is primarily because we also know joy, and have come to expect it. If life weren’t usually sweet, would the pain be as great? Even those who don’t believe in God would, I think, look at the evidence and conclude that life is indeed supposed to be lovely. All of these thoughts were going through my head last week on the anniversary of September 11. When stories of heroism and bravery and generosity hit the airwaves again, it brought tears to my eyes. After all, it is often in the midst of ugliness that beauty is most apparent. The people who carried a man in a wheelchair down seventy flights of stairs; the firefighters who fought to free a seriously injured woman, and lost their lives in the process; even the generous Newfoundlanders who found their towns inundated with stranded passengers, and took them into their homes—all of these responses show our essential goodness. North America reacted to horrible acts of violence by displaying, instead, beauty. Then last week, after we
had listened to these stories anew, violence erupted again, as fanatics in the Middle East decided to attack American embassies, killing four in Libya. And once again, they did it in the name of God, under the terrorist flag of Al-Qaeda. The real work of God is in creating, not destroying. It’s in bringing forgiveness and healing, not in killing and maiming. It’s in what our soldiers do protecting the innocent and standing up for freedom, rather than what their soldiers do in targeting the innocent and eliminating freedom.
I’m sure these fanatics think that they are doing the work of God, but I’d ask them to open their eyes and look around at the world. Can a God who made the Grand Canyon, and the coral reef, and a baby’s chuckle be the same God who wants you to kill indiscriminately? Do you really think you’re doing God a favour? Can’t you see that with every act of terror you solidify our determination to never believe what you believe? I understand the urge to justify one’s culture, or to try to preserve what one
has, or to attack others who seem to have more than you. What I don’t understand is thinking that any of that has anything to do with God. And to those who are tempted to dismiss God altogether because people do such awful things in his name: just look at the beauty in the world. That tells us far more about God than anything that involves machine guns or slitting people’s throats. And perhaps if we all opened our eyes more to beauty, there would be far less horror in this world that we share.
Historical Society looking for old railway photos By Bill Freeman
EMC News - Hastings Hastings has a rich lumber and milling history but it was also a busy railway centre yet there are surprisingly few photos that document that part of the village’s history. The Hastings Historical Society is actively looking for old photographs and pictures that provide a glimpse of the railway side of the
area’s history. “It’s still a rarity to see photos of the Hastings railway station,” says Historical Society member Jim Coveney who is an inveterate and determined collector of historical post cards related to the village and area. “I’ve been scanning EBay for ten years and I’ve only ever seen one,” Coveney told the Northwest EMC. “We’re still having difficulty finding railway pictures,” he said. “It was very much at the heart of our thriving municipality. Every Saturday night people would come to Hastings to see who was getting off that train. It was a meeting place.” It is odd that they have
not been able to discover more train-related photos, he admits, given that Hastings was a “well-photographed community. “Hastings was a great target for photographers and post card people.” The HHS does have a large collection of photos which has formed part of their popular calendar series and now a well-received set of post cards that feature old photographs of local landmarks and events. “We’re finding a fairly enthusiastic reception to our own post cards even though this is not an era of postcard sending.” What they would like is to be able to add some railway photos to that collection.

Wooler Hall Green Space to be turned into a park EMC News - Wooler Playground equipment is to be installed at the Wooler Green Space with funds to be allocated in the 2013 capital program. “Council approved the demolition of the Wooler Hall due to increasing costs to maintain, and reduced use of this property,” said Chris Angelo, director Public Works and Environmental Services. “The city has decided to create a green space at this location.” On June 28 about 75 letters were sent to residents in the village of Wooler surrounding the Wooler Hall, requesting their input about whether they would like playground
equipment installed. There were 36 responses notifying the city there were 18 children between the ages of one to 11 and seven over the age of 12, two between 11 and 13 and five over 16 years of age. There were responses from eight grandparents who indicated that children would benefit from the park. Some of the responses requested a basketball court that could be converted to an ice rink in winter, a tennis court, skate park, swings and playground equipment, picnic table, benches, flag pole, picnic shelter, garden with benches and plaque, more trees, garbage container and the white pine tree preserved in the memory of
Brighton Legion says thanks
the Women’s Institute. Angelo noted the cost to include accessible playground equipment is about $60,000 to $80,000. The cost to construct a basketball court is about $40,000 (84
x 50) or $21,000 (42x50). Neither cost includes demolition of the existing hall or asphalt paving of the parking lot or additional facilities or greenery. Chuck Naphan com-
mented at the Public Works committee meeting that the demographics of Wooler have changed over the years. “There are a lot of children now,” he said, “including military families.”
Angelo said the responses indicated that a playground is needed and that the ball diamond is too far to walk. The road and sidewalk improvements make the playground more accessible.

EMC News - Stirling - The Quinte Agricultural Wall of Fame is getting mighty crowded. Organizers of the Farmtown Park-based commemorative exhibit held their sixth annual induction ceremonies last weekend honouring seven area agriculturalists, including a pair of husband and wife partnerships. Wall Committee Chair Jim Dalrymple welcomed a crowd of about 100 visiting inductees, family and friends to the museum’s Heritage Village last Sunday afternoon for the ceremonies which were also attended by area members of parliament Daryl Kramp and Rick Norlock who presented inductees with official con-
gratulations from Queen’s Park and Ottawa. Committee members were also a part of the presentation team. This year’s inductees include Elmer Laver, George Reynolds, Bruce and Edith Murray, Robert and Evelyn Burkitt and John Watson. Laver began farming in Northumberland County in 1947 and, explained presenter Harry Danford, was a pioneer in the use of fertilizer on potatoes, grain and corn. In 1972 he won the high yield corn competition with a yield of 156 bushels per acre. He also served as a municipal official on Percy Township Council. Reynolds, who was presented with his honour by committee member Dennis Dick, began farming with
his father in Prince Edward County and later went on to become one of the co-founders of Reynolds Brothers Inc., specializing in canning crops and cash crops. Reynolds Brothers now has over 5,000 acres of crops in the Quinte area as well as 6,000 acres in western Ontario. The late Bruce and Edith Murray were members of the Ontario and National Ayrshire Associations as well as founding members of the Hastings County Milk Producers, explained presenter Frank Forestell, and as farmers were also committed to the community around them. Bruce graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph and at the height of his career was overseeing the health of 6,000 dairy cows in Rawdon Township. Robert and Evelyn Burkitt were described by presenter Gayle Grills as community leaders whose influence over a course of decades played a major role in the success of several local organizations and events. Actively involved with the Quinte Exhibition and Hastings County Plowing Match, “they have motivated others to work toward common goals for their community.” The final inductee of the day was tobacco farmer John Watson (1910-1977) who was a noteworthy first in

Watson’s lead by growing tobacco but by 1997 there were none left. And while the crop has declined in popularity, she said, “it had been an integral part of the County agricultural scene.” Watson’s son John, along with family members, accepted the award grateful for the recognition of his late father. Dalrymple noted that nominations are now being accepted for next year’s ceremonies with a deadline of May 1 and encouraged submissions from the agricultural community. Noting that

In future, photographs will be displayed with the information previously available alongside the image presented in a nearby book, on audio and on the Internet. In his closing remarks, Barrett also spoke of the importance of recognizing area farmers as well as the importance of the agricultural industry here. And he offered words of congratulations and special thanks to Jim Dalrymple for spearheading the Wall of Fame adding, “there is no better ambassador for agriculture.” The comment drew applause with several members of the audience standing in acknowledgement.
