EMC News - East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) in Brighton held their annual Terry Fox Run last week and while the totals are still being tabulated, last year they
maintained their rank as number two school in Ontario, raising more than $36,000. Since 1982, ENSS has raised more than $800,000 for the cause. Organizers did have a $5,000 head start on this year’s effort though, with a couple of events held before the run. There’s still time to be part of the fund raising, at a tournament at Murray Hills golf course in Wooler on October 13.

The future is east says councillor EMC News - Brighton - It took a few minutes to figure out how to deal with an item of correspondence to municipal council at their regular meeting on Monday night. The confusion: it was from a member of council. “It’s like writing a letter to yourself,” explained municipal CAO Gayle Frost. “When a matter is before council on an agenda, it’s before council for debate. While I understand Councillor [Craig] Kerr is expressing an opinion, there may be other members of council who have other opinions and then it turns into a debate.” “A member of council cannot express an opinion?” wondered Kerr. “This is a matter of some considerable interest to this municipality.” At issue is the plan to change the federal electoral boundaries and Kerr’s con-
tention that Brighton should be looking to the east for its economic future. “It occurred to me, if it’s time to change the political riding boundaries, perhaps
it’s more than time we look at the county boundaries which have been established since we ran around with a horse Please see “Brighton” on page 3

Brighton councillor says look east Continued from page 1
and buggy,” he said. “Maybe it’s time for a political dialogue about realigning county boundaries to make them more accurately reflect where the growth and economic regions are. That would, in fact, lump Brighton in with the Quinte Economic Region, which, I believe, is a logical place for us to be.w “If nothing else, we’ll come to some understanding with the provincial and federal government as to how this part of Ontario really functions. It certainly doesn’t function toward Cobourg and the GTA [Greater Toronto Area]; it functions eastward, into the Eastern Ontario Economic Region.” The idea for aligning Brighton to the east is not a new concept. A presentation made by council at an Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference in 2008 asked the Minister of Municipal Affairs “to recognize our additional important social and economic links to the Quinte region in developing a growth plan for the eastern region.” The report asked for consideration “of the emerging economic engine defined as the Quinte Economic Region. This is an area that encompasses Brighton, Quinte West, Belleville and Prince Edward County … an important ‘developmental node’ within the greater Eastern Ontario region. “While the population centres that lie along the [Highway] 401 corridor west of Brighton look westward for their economic, employment,
cultural and health needs, the Municipality of Brighton, by contrast, also looks eastward to the larger population centres of Quinte West and Belleville for these core developmental elements. “To many residents of Brighton, the regional ‘sense of place’ encompasses the Quinte Economic Region by reasons of heritage, employment, health care, shopping amenities and recreation. “The statistics for Brighton’s workforce clearly underscores the Quinte Economic Region influence. Census Canada statistics show 48.8 per cent of Brighton residents work in municipalities to the east, with 33.5 per cent working in Brighton and 17.7 per cent working in municipalities to the west.” But Northumberland County economic development director Dan Borowec has a different take on the federal plan to split the county in half. “We’ve invested a fair amount of time in branding the word, ‘Northumberland,’” he said at a recent economic development meeting in Brighton. “With the proposed changes and the creation of Kawartha-Port Hope-Cobourg and Prince Edward-Quinte West, the name does not exist and any recognition in the House of Commons or Queen’s Park would be negated.” “Further to that,” he added. “Having two MPs and two MPPs represent the county would certainly make for some challenges in terms of trying to get some continuity in funding support for the area.”
approaches is to feature video of new Canadians who have settled in the area.” Other county highlights included: council recently approving a bid to host the 2014 Ontario Para-Sport Games; meetings scheduled in the coming weeks with Cycling Ontario officials to bring a signature event to Northumberland County by the end of spring 2013; the recent completion of phase one of an industrial lands survey (“it’s very difficult to sell anything in the open marketplace if you don’t know what you have to sell”); and exploring a for-rent commercial capacity agri-food incubator and food processing facility for area fruit producers. “We have a great deal of stuff going on,” said Borowec. “There are some challenges, but the inquiries are coming. Part of everything we’re doing is very much trying to gear up to the idea we are investment ready, there is close proximity to the GTA [Greater Toronto Are] and cultural groups. “Business is out there. It is estimated, at the moment, on U.S. manufacturing balance sheets there are $3 trillion in liquidity. They’re all waiting for the November 6 election to determine where they will go from there. “There is close to half-atrillion [dollars] on Canadian balance sheets at the moment mainly due to changes in corporate tax legislation in the hope companies will reinvest.
A lot of that money is being held in abeyance because there’s a lot of uncertainty in the marketplace.” The final order of business
was disbanding the BEDC to make way for a new board, which will include a broader base of community groups that have economic impact
and, as suggested by consultant Eric McSweeney, a focus on implementing the new Community Development Plan.

A new online immigration portal, scheduled to launch in March 2013, will play an important role in supporting the county efforts in creating economic opportunities by attracting investors as well as developing a sustainable and diverse workforce. The initiative received $115,500 funding from the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration, with the county providing a $15,000 in-kind counterpart contribution. “It would be used to do two things,” said Borowec. “Attract a skilled-labour force to the area and also attract investment in the area.

Quinte Health Care faces looming deficit By Jack Evans
EMC News - Belleville A deficit looms over Quinte Health Care for the current year, board members were told at their September meeting Tuesday. Indications for the first quarter presented at the board are about $350,000 so far. Finance chair John Embregts said he remains hopeful some economies can be found over the rest of the year to reduce that. Chief Financial Officer Brad Harrison added that the corporation is wrestling with a shortfall of $1 million in originally
expected provincial funding after a cutback. To some extent, he admitted, a deficit is “planned,” but it is also “higher than expected.” He also singled out added costs for electricity, blamed on air conditioning use over a long, hot summer, and water use, blamed on continuing construction at the Belleville site. Embregts also reported on continuing construction on Phase 2 of the Belleville hospital which should be completed in “36 months” and is on tar-
get and within budget. The new oncology department is already operational, he reviewed, and
The corporation is wrestling with a shortfall of $1 million. the new emergency department should be ready by next spring. CAO Mary Clare Egberts commented that the new emergency section
will greatly increase the hospital’s ability to deal with more patients sooner. Cutting emergency waiting times has been a key goal for the hospital in recent months as part of a “strategic plan.” Other reports to the board expanded on details about implementation and monitoring of that plan, showing substantial progress in some key areas, but failure to meet targets in a few. One significant area, cited earlier in this story, is balancing the budget. Also failing by more than ten per cent of
planned expectations were CT Scan priority wait times at both Belleville and Trenton hospitals. Rewarding for Egberts and board members was the reduction in patient falls, which are on target. One problem the hospital complex had been wrestling with for some months was supplies of certain drugs caused by a
Battle in the Saddle a success By Michael J Brethour
EMC News - Belleville Last Saturday’s Battle In The Saddle event surpassed expectations. The event used as a promotion for the Pedal For Hope campaign consisted of police, firefighters and CFB Trenton personnel riding stationary bikes at the Quinte Mall’s Kindness Court for eight hours. Sue Rollins, fund-raising co-ordinator for the Brighton and Prince Edward Hastings Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, said funds raised from the Battle in The Saddle and the Pedal For Hope Campaign are marked for pediatric cancer research. Rollins said that for the inaugural event, the partnering organizations of the Belleville police and the CCS had hoped to raise $5,000. Rollins commented she

He also commended the staff for alleviating the problem for patients by careful rationing and substitutions during the shortages.
fully expected to exceed that goal, but later reported triple that amount was raised. “Incredible support with only five teams participating,” wrote Rollins. Rollins noted the sobering facts that locally there are 18 children suffering from various forms of cancer. “It’s for those kids that we are doing what we are doing here today,” she said. She said that on average 1,300 Canadian kids will be diagnosed with cancer each year. “Those are staggering statistics that translate into devastated families,” commented Rollins. She noted the support of Goodlife Fitness supplying the stationary bikes was essential to running the event. A total of $15,000 was raised.

summer was embroidery kits for children to try out. “The kids love it,” she said. “They want to be challenged, not just sit in front of a TV or computer. It promotes dexterity along with confidence.” The schoolhouse is setting up a partnership with the Ameliasburgh museum and re-enactors to hold summer camps at the site next year.
Cole has also helped organize craft shows all summer and music nights in Wellington to raise funds. “The stove needs a pipe,” she said pointing to the old wood stove. “The woodshed needs renovations. The floor is all rotted out. It was from the 1800s.” She is hoping to get two portables for storing the ar-
chives collected from the schoolhouse and eventually get a permanent facility. They have 4,000 artifacts in their collection which need to be on display for the public. Currently, they are stored in a building that is not open most of the time. “We are struggling to keep the archives,” she said. “We need to make it more accessible.” The Victoria Schoolhouse was built in 1904 but the Quinte Educational Museum and Archives has artifacts spanning everything from the 1800s to 1966. Inside the building is everything from lunch pails to chalk boards and the fearsome leather strap. “A lot of older people come in and have strong memories of their school days,” she says with a smile.

Telemetry monitoring units needed for TMH By Kate Everson
EMC News - Trenton - Six critical care telemetry monitors are needed in the emergency department of Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH). “Through telemetry, doctors can pinpoint the moment heart rhythm changes,” says Wendy Warner, executive director of the TMH Foundation. The cost to replace six old units with new technology is $135,000 which the foundation hopes to raise from the October 20 Gala and raffle. “The Gala is sold out,” she says, “but people can still buy raffle tickets.” The raffle tickets are $50 each or three for $125 and can be purchased by calling Wendy at 613-3922540 ext. 5401 or contacting her online at <wwarner@ tmhfoundation.com>. “The current units are 15 years old,” Wendy adds. “We will still keep using them as we replace them. They are desperately needed.” Emergency nurse Lindsay Smylie said her father John used the telemetry monitor
when he had a heart attack six years ago. It was one reason why she decided to go into nursing. “It really made an impression,” she said. Wendy said one in seven people die in Canada of heart disease every year. In TMH alone, 35,000 people use the emergency department each year, 57 per cent coming from Brighton. Over $1 million is needed for the foundation to pur-
chase needed medical equipment, but they have decided to focus on this item for the Gala fund raiser. Last year they raised $236,000 from the Gala and raffle. “We hope to raise more this year,” she said. “We have a very long list.” First prize in the raffle is a trip for two to Sandals resort in St. Lucia for seven days, valued at $8,000, donated by CAA Belleville and Sandals. Second prize is a diamond
pendant worth $5,000, donated by H. D. Rolf the Jeweller. Third prize is a $1,500 barbeque with 54,000 BTU, donated by Dow’s Climate Care.

EMC News - Ameliasburgh - A new fund raiser for the Victoria Schoolhouse in Ameliasburgh will be held November 3 at the Isaiah Tubbs Resort. “Next year it will be in Wellington,” said project manager Gabrielle Cole. “It will be bigger.” Cole works at the schoolhouse which is run by the Quinte Educational Museum and Archives just outside the Ameliasburgh pioneer museum. “This is our last weekend for the season,” she said on September 29 during the Ameliasburgh Fair. “I work here and at the ROM [Royal Ontario Museum] and the AGO [Art Gallery of Ontario], but my home is in Picton.” Cole was just hired this year to be pioneer school mistress at the restored schoolhouse and hopes to organize more events. “I hope to breathe new life into it,” she said. “My goal is to do more projects.” One of the projects this

Serving Children of the World
The Club has recently lost 6 key members and with an additional 2 members on extended leave of absence we are in a critical situation. Some of the departed members played a key role in the Club’s many activities including “Terrific Kids”, the Club’s premier program. Left with only 14 active members to run the Club and our many other service activities it may soon be necessary to curtail our participation in some activities including reducing the number of schools in the Terrific Kids program. That would be unfortunate as both the teachers and parents look forward to the presentations and the overall positive effect on the students’ deportment and conduct. Additionally some of our other very essential community activities, like helping with meals on wheels and blood donor clinics may suffer without an injection of new members. So! If you are retired and looking for a rewarding experience and contributing to the community in various ways please consider joining us at one of our weekly Thursday morning meetings-10 A.M. at QW City Hall.

Letters to the editor
Milligan deserves credit, not criticism Dalton McGuinty, on what the Conservative member rightfully described as “selfserving drivel.” McGuinty’s government initially bribed the teachers’ union when he needed their support. Now that the Liberals are drowning in red ink, McGuinty wants the union money returned to help improve his own image. Milligan has pointed out that the Conservatives supported a bill, including the same two-year wage freeze on teachers during the election last fall. The timing wasn’t right for McGuinty, who preferred making it look like the Liberals had
Charge trespassers and lose the problem
Dear Editor, This letter is in response to F. Bloggs’ letter from the September 27 edition. I think you have mixed up your hunting laws with the property laws. You can pick up an updated copy of the hunting laws at any Service Ontario office or anywhere hunting and fishing licences are sold. On page 24, it clearly states that a hunting licence does not give a hunter the right to enter private property so we Neanderthal, redneck hunters are up-to-date on the huntin’ laws. And how do you know the person who almost caused an accident because of the “rack” wasn’t a nature lover like you profess to be. I am getting really tired of people who don’t hunt complaining about hunters especially when there’s name calling. Hunters are nature lovers just like yourself and enjoy eating what they kill. If you have a problem with this then that’s your problem NOT anyone else’s. You clearly have a problem with trespassers. If you call the police and charge them then the problem will likely go away.

vour of the Bill 115 wage freeze, he was exercising his right to denounce the hypocritical spin engaged in by the McGuinty gang. No, Mr. Rinaldi, our MPP
wasn’t speaking out of both sides of his mouth like most politicians. Rinaldi calls Milligan “two-faced” but if anyone qualifies for that narrative
it’s McGuinty himself. And why should we be listening to anything Rinaldi has to say. Wasn’t he decisively beaten in the last election? Rolly Ethier, Campbellford
One of the safest sports there is
Dear Editor, I read F. Bloggs’ letter and shook my head in disbelief; is he or she for real? Don’t paint all hunters with the same brush, as all drivers don’t speed. My grandfathers, dad, brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends, some of who are policemen, doctors, lawyers, trades people and a lot of just good friends all hunt, and safely I might add. My own dad and mother, both in their 80s, drive
through Algonquin Park every fall looking at the colours, and looking for that rack. I take offence at all of them and I being called Neanderthals and low-lifes. I’m sure if the F. Bloggs family tree has any limbs on it, there would likely be a hunter there. I’m also glad to hear that in Tweed, Bloggs is the only “civilized person.” I bet your neighbours love you. Hunting is a huge heritage outdoor sport, which
brings thousands of dollars to local business and communities. It is one of the safest sports there is. If you have a problem with trespassing, post your property properly and call the police if problems persist. If you have a problem with people looking at wildlife along our roads, don’t follow so close … relax … go around! If you don’t like wearing orange while walking on the road, don’t wear it; mind
you, out on a side road it is easier for drivers to spot. If you have no deer around, well I’m surprised at that; I thought deer liked nuts. As a hunter I have taken both hunter safety and firearms safety courses. I am fully trained not to trespass, not to shoot on or across the road, and not to shoot at or toward people, no matter what colour they’re wearing … even the stupid ones. Regards, Don Nimigon, Marmora
Dear Editor, Re: Breastfeeding What a difference 50 years makes. When my first child was born, it was common practice for babies to be bottle-fed, nurses looked after the 2 a.m. feedings and mothers were kept in hospital for approximately a week to teach them how to bottle feed and change their baby. Unlike most new mothers I chose to breastfeed. I was fortunate that at that time there was a nurse in the maternity wing who wholeheartedly supported breastfeeding. There wasn’t the help for new mothers then that there is now. Family members were not allowed in to watch the birth not even dad. He sat in the waiting room waiting for the news and to learn whether he
had a son or a daughter. Since nursing a baby was not common place, I recall one morning that I awoke for the 6 a.m. feeding and realized my baby had not been brought to me for the 2 a.m. feeding. I was certain something had happened to him during the night. For whatever reason the nurse on duty during the night had fed my baby. There was no such thing as family rooms or public places for mothers to nurse their baby. There has been such a reversal in attitude that now new mothers are expected to nurse their babies. How fortunate for today’s mom that attitudes have changed. For mothers who are able to breastfeed, it’s definitely the way to go. It is cheaper, no
sterilizing required plus it is always there and at the right temperature.

Dear Editor, I have sent an email to our M. P. Rick Norlock asking him to initiate a public inquiry into the actions of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. When this agency can send 20 people to harass Montana Jones and slaughter four healthy innocent lambs in Trent Hills, while at the same time it takes them eight days to respond to a reported outbreak of e-coli in Alberta, then we
can conclude that the entire management group is totally inept and they all should be relieved of their positions and replaced by ethical, competent people. Our Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Gerry Ritz, should do the honorable thing and hand in his resignation. If you agree (or disagree), please express your opinion to your local Member of Parliament.

Small farms attacked Dear Editor, Last week’s photo of a government raid on an innocent Hastings farmer must have stirred even the dimmest viewer. Yes, it’s just another attack on small farms, like the closing of local abattoirs or the Monsanto-izing of our seed crops or the imposing of soon-to-beobsolete solar panels on Agrade farmland. Your photo makes this particular injustice inescapably clear. To see these rare, beautiful and perfectly healthy sheep torn from the arms of a grieving farm woman raises every hackle of anger and contempt I can direct at the Canadian Food Inspec-
tion Agency, the same crowd that wanted to destroy our wood buffalo herd for having brucellosis, an endemic disease that has been with them since the Ice Age. Yes, this is the same agency that can’t even label food properly! Our farm no longer breeds sheep because of the abovementioned “improvements” but we still grow trees … until the inevitable appearance of “inspectors” to tell us to destroy pines and maples unless they are laboratory approved by people who never grew them.

Double tap EMC Editorial - “Double Tap” is what mobsters do when they put somebody down. One bullet in the heart, one in the head. That way they stay down. It’s practically standard operating procedure among hitmen. Then there’s a different, nastier kind of Gwynne Dyer “double tap.” Suppose you live in some hill village in western Pakistan, and one of the families nearby has a boy fighting with the Taliban who has come home for a visit, bringing several friends with him. It’s worrisome, because you are always hearing American drones overhead—and sure enough, one day there is a terrifying explosion and his house is destroyed. What do you do now? There was a whole extended family living in that house: children, old folks, a cousin or two. Some of them are probably still alive under the rubble, perhaps badly injured. Do you rush over and help to dig them out? Better not. The Predator or Reaper drone (lovely names) will wait until all the neighbours have gathered round, and then launch a second Hellfire missile onto the site. Double tap. “These strikes are becoming much more common,” Mirza Shahbad Akbar, a Pakistani lawyer who represents the victims of drone strikes, told “The Independent” newspaper recently. “In the past it used to be a one-off, now and then. Now almost every other attack is a double tap. There is no justification for it.” Stanford University’s International Human Rights and Conflict Resolution Clinic and New York University School of Law’s Global Justice Clinic have just released a report, based on nine months of research and 130 interviews, which concludes that barely two per cent of the victims of U.S. drone strikes were known militants. That’s not to say that everybody else killed or injured was an innocent civilian, but these are definitely not “surgical” strikes. The best estimate of the number of people killed in U.S. drone strikes over the past eight years comes from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism: between 2,532 and 3,251 dead in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Of those, between 475 and 879 deaths were civilian noncombatants who just happened to be nearby when the Hellfire hit—often because they were trying to rescue survivors from an earlier strike. The Stanford/New York University study, entitled “Living Under Drones,” describes the Bureau of Investigative Journalism’s database as “far more reliable than other aggregating sources,” based on a far wider range of sources than other comparable studies. And of course there are no official numbers. The U.S. government doesn’t even try to count the casualties.
Washington doesn’t formally admit the Central Intelligence Agency is running a remote-control assassination program at all, because it is legally a very doubtful area. At the same time, it strives to reassure the American public that there is almost no “collateral damage”: that practically all the victims are “bad guys”—including the 175 children who, according to the Bureau’s numbers, have been killed in the strikes. Let’s be honest here: children always get killed in air strikes. When you explode ten kilograms (20 pounds) of high explosives on a single target (the standard Hellfire load), there can be nothing surgical about it. The really questionable aspects of the CIA’s drone program lie elsewhere. First, is it legal to make air attacks in a country that you are not at war with? Second, can you distinguish sufficiently between “militants” and civilians living in the same area? And, above all, why are you making doubletap attacks? The legal question is particularly problematic in Pakistan, where the government has not authorised the United States to carry out attacks. Islamabad tacitly accepts them, but sometimes public opinion forces it to respond vigorously, as when an American missile killed 24 Pakistani soldiers last year. That blunder also highlights the difficulty of distinguishing between “militants” and civilians through the lens of a remote-controlled camera. It’s the double-tap attacks that are truly shameful. Do the controllers really think that the people rushing to rescue the survivors of a first strike are all “militants” too? Or are they just trying to deter people from helping those who were wounded in the first strike? That is certainly the effect of the policy: villagers now often leave the injured survivors of an attack in agony for hours before going to help them, for fear of becoming victims too. There’s no point in telling the military and their masters that this tactic is counterproductive, generating more new “militants” than it kills. The bureaucratic machine doesn’t respond to such subtle arguments. There’s probably no point in talking about the moral problem of killing innocent people either. But the fact that some fifty countries now have drones should inspire a little reflection about this unwritten change in the rules of engagement. The latest proud possessor of these weapons is Iran, which has just unveiled a new drone with a range of 2,000 kilometres (1,300 miles), capable of flying over most of the Middle East. If it is really copied from the U.S. drone that Iran captured last year, then it has major airto-ground capabilities. So what if it starts using those capabilities over, say, Syria, against the rebels that the Syrian government calls “terrorists”? The U.S. could not really complain (though no doubt it would). What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Letter to the editor
A history on public service employees
Dear Editor, I had intended to write sooner, but like many others I have picked up what acts like a nasty cold. Ms. Barker, in my opinion, wrote an excellent letter (in the September 20 issue), and I hope she does not mind me expanding on her thoughts and information. I would point out that in the early 1960s there were no pensions for most of the public service, thus they were given the right to accumulate sick time, up to six months’ worth and to receive a payout at retirement as a gratuity of kind. At the same period there was a hangover concept left over from the Great Depression that public service jobs had great security so the workers should receive a lower wage than say, the skilled trades. The incoming baby boomers did not accept that heifer dust. However, at the time public service workers did not pay EI because it was naively thought they would never be laid off but no one was counting on “Mad Maniac Mike.” It was also in this era that the CPP was developed with three major flaws, not everyone had to enroll like in the case of EI and the fund did not accumulate. It was thought those working would pay the pensions of those retired but failed to recognize that eventually there would be more retired persons than those still working.
It was sadly underfunded as it continues to be to this day. It was in the late 1960s that the Robarts regime tried to bring in regional government across the province. Luckily it was rejected in this area but part of the deal was that the then Minister of Education, “Wicked Willie” Davis conned us into accepting county-wide school boards by handing out grants to cover the cost of implementation and then when he became premier clawed those grants back so the full cost of education fell on local taxes. It was during this period that the teachers got better organized, as did other public servants, and got increased salaries and benefits. Oh, and RRSPs were pushed mainly for the self-employed such as doctors and lawyers. If you were in a pension plan, you could purchase a limited amount of RRSPs. In closing, I believe we are going to have a major economic problem in about five years time, when a goodly number of ladies, who have only worked part-time without benefits, try to retire and have to depend on only CPP and OAS. They will find it does not come anywhere near meeting the cost of living. John A. D. McLean, Belleville
Poor taste for sure By Terry Bush
EMC Editorial - I’ve talked about Justin Bieber before. We don’t get along because I think he’s always trying to one up me with his new cars and overwhelming success. But I have to give credit where credit is due, the guy obviously has some talent. If you haven’t heard, Bieber was sick on the weekend, during the kickoff event of his new tour in support of his new album called … now come on people, why would anyone think I’d know what a Bieber album was called. I’m a rocker who loves his bluegrass music and his blues, three musical genres as foreign to Justin Bieber as taking a razor to his baby bottom face. Anyway, the tables were turned on young Biebs and while singing he was the one who vomited not once but twice during the performance. For that I just have to give the man/boy some credit. If a guy can cough his cookies not once but twice in the span of half an hour and go on to finish his set, well some of us might even be impressed enough to admit that the Bieber is all right and we might admit out loud that he’s a Canadian. He played through the pain. He barfed, came back and danced up a storm, upchucked again and bounced back to thrill his young teenybopper audience once again. The kid’s got staying power. But that’s not the talent I’m referring to. Supposedly according to the news report I read, Justin Bieber’s special talent is that he can sing and vomit at the same time. I’m thoroughly amazed by this. In fact, I’ve just spent the last half hour trying to replicate this major achievement and I can’t come close. I’ve tried coughing and singing at the same time. No go. I made an attempt to croon and sneeze to no avail. I even contemplated going back into my prepubescent bag of tricks by swallowing a raw egg to see if it still makes me throw up like it used to when the urge for truancy used to overtake me in the hour before I was expected to go to Sunday School. But then I remembered that during my weight lifting period I used to eat raw eggs because that’s what Aaaaanode did before he became an action star, so they probably would have no effect. My only other recourse would have been to put a finger down my throat but a finger would certainly have gotten in the way of hitting the high notes so I reconsidered. Without a re-creation of sorts of Bieber’s defining moments on the weekend stage, I had to resign myself once again that Justin Bieber is a better man than I am. He spewed but didn’t miss a beat. Fact is, nobody even noticed that things other than musical notes were flowing past his lips until he bent over. Still the singing continued for a few seconds after the flow started according to the reports. Too bad Ed is dead, Sullivan that is. Can you just imagine how amazed the audience would have been to witness this unbelievable feat? Señor Wences the ventriloquist would have paled by comparison and he could spin plates, juggle and do voices at the same time as those of you old enough to remember can attest. Justin Bieber is simply, the man. Rock musicians could learn a few things from Mr. Bieber. Can you just imagine the years of great music we would have had if Justin Bieber were alive in the seventies. He could have sat down with Jimi Hendrix, John Bonham and Bon Scott and maybe given them a few pointers on breathing while nauseous. Maybe that’s a bit of a stretch since they all reportedly died by asphyxiation after vomiting while sleeping but still, it does my heart proud to think Justin could have helped, kind soul that he is. So what I’ve learned from the weekend is this. Even if Justin Bieber eventually goes the route of the aforementioned rock and rollers and descends into a world of booze and drugs, he probably has it covered. We can look forward to many years to come of Biebs singing no matter what becomes lodged in his throat or is expelled from it. Maybe he’s even more talented than I think he is. There is the possibility that Justin Bieber can, if his mouth is otherwise occupied, sing through his nose. Now that’s a talent I could truly appreciate. If I could master it I’d be a baritone like Bowser from Sha Na Na given the size of my proboscis. But back to Justin Bieber. The kid is only 18 years old with a long performing career ahead of him but should he ever decide he’s had enough of tween girls, he could be an amazing harmonica player, Mongolian throat singer or didgeridoo player because the truly great players of all these instruments including the human throat, can breathe in and out at the same time. Justin Bieber can do that with his mouth full. You’ve got to leave it to Bieber. Quinte West EMC - Thursday, October 4, 2012

Local Food survey talks to farmers about business EMC News - Quinte West Local farmers have given their input to a survey involving nine communities, 41 weeks and 170 volunteers, resulting in a compilation of 363 completed surveys. “It was a really positive experience,” said Trissia McAllister, Agriculture and Creative Economy Co-ordinator, Northumberland County. “We had one-on-one conversations about the agri-food business.”
McAllister presented the survey results to the Agricultural Advisory Committee at city hall on September 27. She said the 187 questions in the survey took about two hours per interview. “It was really fun,” she said. “It was very grass roots.” The objective was to engage businesses that participate in the local food sector throughout Northumberland County, Quinte West, Belleville, Lennox and Addington, Prince Edward County,

Frontenac County, Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough and Hastings County. The total number of jobs involved in the agri-food business was 1,771 throughout the region. The city of Quinte West had 49 businesses on its list including four retail, two processors, four food and beverage, and 39 producers. The total number of surveys completed was 22. Not all the results were positive. To the question:

food producers for flash freezing or chilling of local fruit or vegetables. “This expands seasonality,”she said. Mayor Williams commented, “We need to make sure everybody knows about these opportunities.” There was a discussion about what was the best circulation newspaper that everyone in Quinte West could benefit from. Jim Alyea said where he lives in Murray ward he gets the EMC and the Brighton Independent but not the Trentonian or Community Press. Gail Grills said she only gets the Intelligencer. One of the recommendations based on the survey was to work with the local Health Unit and develop a Farm Fresh Safety Book. McAllister said, “There has been a bit of hostility between the Health Unit and farm processors. We need to extend an olive branch.” She said if food inspectors come on the property, the processor can say he has followed all the rules in the guide book. “It is one of the

It is really working to facilitate relationships.” Ron Hamilton said he knows a couple of producers who were shut down for a couple of weeks by the Health Unit. “We need to strengthen relationships with the Health Unit,” he said. McAllister said the handbook they are developing is much easier to follow than the 30-page book the OMAFRA (Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food) puts out. Williams commented this survey had a great pile of information. “What is the cost?” he asked. McAllister said the total cost of the project was $90,000, half of it funded by Northumberland County, none by Quinte West. Williams said that is a lot of money and he wanted to see an action plan coming out of it. Linda Lisle said they are working with Northumberland County on a regional strategy.

“What is your general impression of this community as a place to do business?” (in Quinte West), seven rated it excellent, 11 said it was good, seven said fair and three called it poor. “Who said what?” demanded Mayor John Williams. “If we don’t know who said what we can’t change anything.” McAllister said the names were confidential. Linda Lisle, manager of economic development, said they could include further engagement with the businesses. McAllister agreed, “There is an opportunity to follow up with them.” To the question: “Does the business have a succession plan?” eight said yes, but 18 said no. Ron Hamilton commented and said this is very important. “Who carries on?” he asked. Linda Lisle said there are very positive signs with all the businesses indicating no closings or barriers to future successions.

“You can get tickets at the library, Frankford Home Hardware and Riverside Music,” he said. Phone inquiries are directed to 613-392-8548. Keith Reid commented that the Frankford library held a very successful dinner auction in Batawa last weekend with a grand total of $11,000 raised for the library furnishings. Fire chief John Whelan noted that Fire Prevention Week will be held on October 7 to 13 with the theme “Have 2 Ways Out.” There will be free Domino’s pizza with that slogan offered at Station 1 and 7 (Frankford) on October 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. A report from manager of facilities Danny Young got approval from council to put in accessibility funding in the 2013 budget for improvements to city hall, Batawa Community Centre, Duncan MacDonald arena and Dr. McMullen arena up to $48,750. It is hoped the Enabling Accessibility Fund will help with funding for these projects. He noted the city applied last year but did not succeed. The Fund provides grants up to $50,000. Council also endorsed a request from the municipality of Central Huron to transfer responsibility of funding school crossing guards to the Ministry of Education. The city will pay $332,500 to crossing guards for 2013 including salaries and benefits. Council had a moment of silence and offered condolences to the family of former staff member Carolin Beszterczey who died September 24 after working for the planning department for six months. Mayor John Williams also offered condolences to the family of former Belleville Mayor George Zegouras.

How to select the right carpeting for your home Although many people may tout the benefits of hardwood flooring over carpeting, there are plenty of individuals who like to have the soft and luxurious feeling of carpeting underfoot. Selecting the right carpeting for a particular room and purpose can be a bit daunting because of the abundance of available colors and materials. Carpeting can be an added safety measure that makes play areas safer, potentially lessening the severity of an injury in the event of a fall. This is why carpeting is often preferred in children’s rooms and play areas. There are other advantages to carpeting as well. It can help insulate rooms both in the summer and winter. It can be easier on feet than a hard floor, and few materials absorb sound better than carpet. Choosing the right carpeting for a room comes down to identifying the kind of foot traffic you expect in your home and which carpeting options most suit your needs. Here are some tips to get started. • Don’t overlook padding. Padding can make the difference in the way carpeting feels and how long it lasts. The thickest or most expensive padding isn’t necessarily the best or the best-suited for your home. However, it is wise to pick a pad that matches the type of carpeting you’re selecting. You may be able to go with a thinner pad in low-traffic rooms and under dense carpeting like berber. In high-traffic rooms, choose thicker, more durable padding. Padding prevents carpet backing and fibers from coming apart over a duration of time, so if you’re spending a lot on the carpet, it pays to invest in a padding that will last the duration of the carpet as well. • Recognize the type of carpeting that best suits your needs. There are many different types of carpeting, and they won’t all be the perfect match for your home. For example, plush and saxony carpets are better in low-traffic areas. These carpets may show footprints and also vacuum tracks and dirt. Berber, meanwhile, is more flat and dense, making it highly effective at masking stains
and tracks. Textured carpets like frieze are cut from fibers of different heights, so they mask stains and are also softer on the feet than berbers. An entryway or a den may be better off carpeted in a dense carpeting, while a bedroom may be fine and luxurious with plush carpeting. Carpeting may come in stain-resistant varieties or low-maintenance options. These are generally best in homes with pets and children. However, you may be able to save money by opting out of special treatments to resist stains and simply invest in a steam vacuum, instead. • Choose color wisely. Choosing a color comes down to preference and how much the room will be used. Although light, neutral colors are often preferred because they work well in just about any room, lighter colored carpets will show stains much more easily than other carpet colors. Textured, multi-colored carpets are preferable to hide stains and can look just as elegant as solidcolored carpeting. Much in the way paint colors are chosen, carpeting colors come down to personal preference. Drama may be created with bold colors that draw the eye to the carpet. However, for those who want the carpet to fade into the background instead of upstaging decor, neutral colors are better. • Hire a good installer. There are many beautiful carpets available, but unless you choose a reliable installer and store, you may end up paying more or receiving subpar service. Poll friends and family members for recommendations to help you narrow down options. Then be sure to have stores price out materials separate from installation so you can make more accurate comparisons. Also, you don’t necessarily need to use an installer provided by the carpet store. You can shop around to find a separate installer or even do the work yourself. Carpeting can make a fine addition to your home and make it feel more comfortable and inviting. Remember to take your time when selecting carpeting, as your decision will have long-lasting effects.

Oftentimes, buying a home opens up a bottomless pit of opportunities for projects and improvements. While some homeowners engage in different repairs and fixups out of necessity, many others like to freshen-up their
A home office is a necessity for many adults these days. While some people have entire rooms available to house a home office, others have to make do with less space, and that can mean fitting an office into a tight space. The first step in establishing a small home office is figuring out the space you have and any limitations that may accompany it. For example, maybe you have an unused corner in the living room but don’t want to have wires and equipment out in the open. An armoire-type desk that can be closed when not in use is a viable option in such a situation. Perhaps there is an unused closet in a bedroom. A wall-mounted desk surface, such as a piece of custom-cut countertop material, complete with foldaway mouse and keyboard tray can easily turn the space into a compact nook. Maybe there is an entryway with a small table that would be large enough for a laptop. A stool or ottoman that can be tucked under it can serve as a desk chair and extra seating for company.
Professionals who might help you get a mortgage The process of buying a home can be intimidating, especially for those who have never before owned their own homes. Nowadays, more homeowners are choosing to get preapproved for mortgages before they begin searching for a home in an effort to make the home-buying process go more smoothly when they find the home for them. One of the first things buyers must do when seeking preapproval is find the right mortgage lender. There are many different ways to find a mortgage lender who will fund your home loan. Prospective homeowners would be wise to familiarize themselves with mortgage lenders before beginning the preapproval process. • Retail lender: These are lenders who will reach out directly to prospective home buyers. Retail lenders include banks with loan officers in local branches, though many banks are also wholesale lenders. • Wholesale lender: A wholesale lender is one who funds a mortgage acquired through a mortgage broker. A wholesale lender will buy the mortgage from the broker after the broker has found the customer and processed the loan. • Mortgage broker: Mortgage brokers are essentially matchmakers. A mortgage broker will examine a pro-
spaces out of personal preference instead of need. But even the most well-intentioned projects can be waylaid if budgets are tight. What many homeowners may not realize is that there are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not require a major overhaul or a large price tag. The following are seven projects that won’t break the bank. 1. Move around furniture. You may be able to change the look of a room without spending any money. Interior designers know how to arrange furniture for maximum appeal, but the average homeowner can do it, too. Find a focal point in the room and angle the furniture toward it. Don’t make the focal point the television, however. Try changing the placement of chairs and sofas. 2. Add lighting. Lighting at different levels in the room can create a vibrant impact. Many homeowners mistakenly put in a couple of table lamps and think that will be adequate. However, properly illuminating a room means varying the lighting to create different moods at different times. Plus, more light can make a room feel more welcoming. 3. Add new pillows or drapes. Changing a few aspects of a room can give it an entirely new look. If you want to add a splash of color but don’t know what to do, think about incorporating some new throw pillows or change the curtains. An accessory here and there in a bright color also can incorporate a new hue without it being

The broker may charge buyers a fee, but the broker will earn the bulk of his or her money when the buyer is matched with a lender. • Mortgage banker: A mortgage banker will fund the loan initially. But mortgage bankers often sell the loan to secondary lenders. Many men and women might be familiar with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both of which are secondary lenders. A mortgage banker will borrow money from the a bank to fund the initial loan, then repay that bank if and when the loan is sold to a secondary lender. • Loan officer: Loan officers can be very helpful to buyers, helping them through the loan application process and offering advice on finding a mortgage that best meets a customer’s needs. A loan officer may be referred to as a mortgage consultant or a home loan consultant, and many will earn a commission on the loan once it is finalized.

overwhelming. 4. Change knobs or small accents. Give a room a new look by focusing on the small details. Switch out cabinet knobs for something updated and modern. Take inventory of wall outlets and light switches and think about selecting new ones that coordinate with your home decor. 5. Use plants. Empty corners or spots you’re not certain how to fill may benefit from a plant. Plants add instant color and visual appeal to a room. Plus, having live plants can help improve indoor air by filtering out contaminants. A home with plants also feels more cozy. 6. Hang new wall art. It may be time to look at your photos and artwork and make a few adjustments. Finding new prints to hang could instantly change a room’s ambience. And you needn’t spend a lot of money on professional photography, either. Grab your camera and take a few close-up shots of flowers or take in a landscape scenery. Many of today’s home printers can produce professional-quality prints in minutes. 7. Try a new coat of paint. After you’ve exhausted other avenues, choosing a new paint color may be the new look you desire. Painting is one of the least expensive yet most dramatic methods of changing a home’s interior. With dozens of hues to choose from, and new apps that enable you to take snapshots of things in nature or in your life and match them up to a paint color, you will have scores of opportunities to explore fresh new colors for your home.

room will instantly feel more airy. • Minimize wall hangings and keep fixtures smaller. Filling the walls with knickknacks may contribute to clutter and make the space appear closed in. Use decorative items sparingly. • If possible, store towels in a closet outside of the bathroom. This way you won’t have to devote space inside the bathroom to a closet, leaving more room for other things. • While some people like the thought of a separate bath and shower, in smaller bathrooms this may not be possible. Instead, look for a combined shower and bath, or select a walkin shower with a much smaller profile. • Windows are often welcome in bathrooms because of the ventilation they provide, but they could be a hindrance in smaller bathrooms because they take up prime wall space. Cover a window in a shower stall to free up space. Just be sure to install a venting fan to reduce moisture in the bathroom. • Maximize wall space if you need storage. Find cabinets that will fit beneath windows or be able to fit in thin areas between sinks and toilets. Over the toilet is prime area for cabinetry. • Consider a frameless shower. This is a partitioned area of the bathroom that’s typically only cordoned off by a thin wall or piece of glass. Or a shower with no walls at all is the ultimate in space-saving. The entire bathroom floor is decked out in tile, and a portion is sloped toward a shower drain. • Think about installing a skylight if you prefer natural light, but there is no room for a traditional window. Thinking creatively can help turn a cramped bathroom into a space-saving and well-designed room homeowners desire.

FALL FLOORING SALE
Renovating bathrooms is commonly at the top of home improvement to-do lists. Though some rooms around the house may remain timeless, bathrooms, like kitchens, show their age (and era) much more easily, which could be why homeowners are always on the lookout for new ideas. Although many people may dream about creating a spa-type oasis in their homes, not everyone is lucky enough to have a large bathroom, much less a large budget for a full-scale renovation. Small bathrooms are common, particularly in older homes, but they needn’t force homeowners to compromise on style when renovating. Small bathrooms may be a half-bath on a main home level or even a full bath, depending on the home. By thinking creatively, homeowners can maximize their spaces and redo bathrooms in ways that bring out their best assets. • When space is at a premium, it’s best to look for fixtures and items that fit with the scale of the bathroom. Although you may want a large vanity and cabinet in which to hide all of your toiletries, this simply may not be practical. Instead, look for elegant pedestal sinks that have a much smaller profile. They’ll also help you control the clutter in the bathroom because there won’t be anywhere to hide it. • Use optical illusions to make the bathroom appear more roomy. For example, lay tile diagonally to create the impression of space. A large mirror will reflect the room back and make it appear much larger than it really is. • Select lighter hues in paint colors and accessories. Dark paints and fixtures could make the room feel cramped. Dark colors are generally used to make spaces feel more cozy. In a small bathroom, it may make the space feel claustrophobic. Instead, think light and bright and the

Art for Everyone includes a Zombie Contest By Kate Everson
EMC News - Trenton Want to get in on an Artsy Fartsy Zombie Contest just in time for Hallowe’en? A new arts store and gallery at 263 Dundas Street East in Trenton ward is putting on a contest to design a zombie
that will be reproduced on a T-shirt. “The winner will be given a free T-shirt and an assortment of art supplies, worth $75,” says Rachel Comeau, owner of Art for Everyone! The contest deadline is October 31, the night when all

Zombies come out and haunt the streets. Rachel says her goal is to encourage new artists. She is an art teacher with a fine art background and is constantly offering free tutoring to artists who ask for her help. “Art should be accessible to everyone,” she says. The art store has a couple of walls of art displayed by 24 local artists at no cost. If the art sells, she takes her cut of 35 per cent. “We have room to grow,”
she adds, pointing to the extra wall space in the building. The shop also displays fused glass, crystal jewellery, sculpture, candles, soap and gift cards. “We also want to get into the corporate world,” Rachel says. “They could use this space for a creative experience, a party without the alcohol.” Rachel has also had experi-
ence with special needs children who often benefit from the healing aspect of art, and gain self-esteem. Originally from Seaforth, near Halifax, Nova Scotia, Rachel came to Quinte West with her husband who was posted in the military. Her daughter Jade is also involved in art. During Culture Days on September 29, local artists
were invited to demonstrate their art at the store, while visitors were encourage to have fun making book marks or design buttons. The store also has a list of courses and workshops this fall including drawing, painting, photography, gift-making, mixed media, and more. “We want people to get in touch with their creative side,” Rachel said with a smile.

Edge After I finished high school, I worked at a variety of labouring type jobs and then I moved to the area. I didn’t know where to start in my search for a new job. Someone told me that Career Edge was quite helpful, so I decided to find out for myself. I met with Erin, a Career Counsellor who worked with me to discover that my true passion was in the construction field. With her help, I developed my resume and applied for a position at MKR Cabinets in Trenton. I was hired as a full-time Cabinet Maker and have been there for over a year now. I recently applied for the Cabinet Maker Apprentice program, again with the assistance of Career Edge. Thanks to Career Edge, I’m working in a field that I love.

Hockeyville celebrates 2012 title in style By Richard Turtle
Hastings County Queen of the Furrow Brianna Dracup was among the officials on hand for Stirling-Rawdon’s official crowning as Kraft Hockeyville 2012.

eral of those in attendance had been there since early morning. For Manley, who led a pair of figure skating clinics prior to the parade, her arrival at the Stirling arena was a homecoming of sorts. Born in Belleville and raised in Trenton, Manley now lives in the Ottawa area and is well familiar with the Quinte region. “I love coming back,” she says, adding there are plenty of family and skating memories in this part of the province. And Manley was taken by surprise when a face from the past offered a greeting in the arena lobby. Sandy Chadwick was teaching the CanSkate program when she encountered

with numerous groups and individuals benefiting from the Hockeyville campaign. Along with a Kraft donation to the arena for $100,000 and the Stirling-Rawdon Community Cupboard for $10,000, Brandt says there were plenty of other winners along the way. “We collected 25,000 tires and that helped send 80 kids to Disneyland,” she notes. Hewitt says the Hockeyville competition is one way for Kraft to support community projects. “It’s always been a priority [for Kraft] to give back to the community,” he says, “and feeding the families of Hockeyville is important.” Food banks, he adds, are seeing increased numbers and have always been a part of the Hockeyville equation. The $10,000 graciously received by Community Cupboard Chair Heather Bailey, is the largest single donation in the history of the local food bank and, Bailey says, will go a long way toward stocking the shelves. And there were plenty of Kraft products available for sampling throughout the afternoon as well. And sev-

EMC News - Stirling - The morning started with figure skating clinics by Olympic silver medallist Elizabeth Manley and later included a Stanley Cup parade, autograph sessions with former NHLers and a host of free activities and games to mark Stirling-Rawdon’s claim to Kraft Hockeyville 2012. And while the clouds threatened overhead, organizers were thrilled with the weather and the convenient timing as the rains began to fall only after the outdoor party was over. It was shortly before 11:30 a.m. that the Stanley Cup arrived in town and made its trip along the parade route with plenty of accompaniment. Led by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 228 colour guard, the parade kicked off with the highly polished Preston Scout House Alumni Band and featured floats and participants, many dressed in yellow and blue for the celebratory occasion. The Stirling Citizens Band also offered musical support as residents lined Front Street for the parade with more than 1,000 people arriving at the arena parking lot behind the Stanley Cup. A flatbed trailer stage was set up at the rink entrance and the parking lot became a miniature fairgrounds with bouncy castles, a climbing wall and live music provided by the Preston Scout House Alumni Band, Wrought Iron Roots and The Brogees. The Stanley Cup drew hundreds of curious hockey fans as waiting crowds snaked through barriers before getting an opportunity to be photographed with hockey’s most famous trophy. Kraft officials were also on hand throughout the day offering congratulations to its 2012 Hockeyville winners and presenting cheques for a total of $110,000 to the community. Kraft Canada Vice President Jack Hewitt addressed the crowd and introduced the Local Organizing Committee, congratulating them for their monumental efforts and amassing nearly 4,000,000 votes from their supporters. Hewitt also discussed the importance of a community figure like Barry Wilson, who passed away prior to the Hockeyville campaign but remained a primary force behind plans for arena improvements. Committee Chair Cindy Brandt says the whole experience has been a matter of paying it forward,

Ameliasburgh Township Fair a country fair with flair By Kate Everson
EMC News - Ameliasburgh - Roblin Lake Fairgrounds was filled with good old-fashioned country fun on the weekend of September 29 and 30. “We were told to dress like farmers,” said Sherri Bergman in her baggy pants and plaid shirt. The fair started with a bicycle decorating contest at Kente Public School, then participants joined the parade along Main Street to the fairgrounds. There were fancy dressed horses, old tractors, marching bands with the 413 Wing Pipes and Drums and the RCSCC Quinte Sea Cadets, along with the Shriners on their camels, screaming fire trucks, and lots of pretty ladies, laughing children, drooling dogs and friendly farmers on floats piled high with hay and seasonal colours. A slo-pitch softball tournament continued from Friday night slugging it out in the adjacent ball diamond by the lake. The official opening featured Rick Kevan and Jessica Bell singing O Cana-
da. When it was time for lunch, the Masonic Lodge offered a chicken barbeque and there were plenty of concession stands with hamburgers, dogs and fries as well as home baked pies and preserves put on by the Storehouse Food Bank, Albury Women’s Group, Ameliasburgh Firefighters Association and Rednersville Women’s Institute. Crazy Zen Carter did a little Zumba while lawnmower pulls, crafts and arts shows along with OPP car-rolling demonstration kept people entertained. The King and Queen of the ‘50s and ‘60s were crowned on stage and there was a livestock show, a Johnny Cash impersonator and even Elvis showed up. Re-enactors took over the nearby Ameliasburgh Museum and showed what it was like to live in early pioneer times. Breakfast at the
tea room was followed by a horse show on Sunday. A petting zoo by Jenn Ackerman had goats, sheep and big-eyed Jerseys along with perky Silky Bantams. Shae Lynn Bell from Double Knot Polled Herefords fluffed up her big beasts with ease and a blow dryer, just for the show. There was an infant parade, a crafts and flower show, dog and cat show on stage and a silent auction followed by Flashback on stage. After closing ceremonies on Sunday, it was time to close up for another year.

QWFC is owned and operated by Dr. Anthony Gillespie, who was born and raised in Smithfield, Ontario. “I am extremely excited to be back in my home community and open this
practice so I can start using my skills and education to help the community where I grew up,” says Dr. Gillespie. “It is wonderful for me to be able to set up my practice here in the Quinte Region and I am really looking forward to meeting new clients and working with them to find treatments that are going to improve their health.” The new office is offering chiropractic and acupuncture services for the whole family in a comfort-
able, professional environment. “It is a great boost to our community to have young professionals return to Quinte West after they have graduated to open their own businesses and practices here,” says Quinte West Chamber Manager Suzanne Andrews. Dr. Gillespie graduated from ENSS in 2003, and then received his BSc (honours) at Laurentian University in 2007. Dr. Gillespie then attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic
College in Toronto where he received his Doctor of Chiropractic. During this time he also obtained his acupuncture diploma and is fully trained and ready to offer this service to his clients.

Madoc Motocross season wraps up
A whole lot of hockey for the Novice AE Bulls
EMC Sports - The Belleville Hyundai Novice AE Junior Bulls played three games in three days this past weekend. Belleville was host to Stirling Friday night to finish our home and home exhibition games. Although it was a close game, they came away on the wrong end of a 3 - 2 game. Ryley Muir got the first goal during the second period assisted by Carter Seymour. Liam Reid was the goal scorer for the third period with Jacob Gilham and Aaron Brown
backing him up on the assists. Starting the season out right at our first regular season game, the Belleville Hyundai Novice AE Jr. Bulls travelled to Whitby on Saturday and drove home with a 3 - 1 victory. Goals were scored by Jonathon Doyle, Joey Coates and Liam Reid with the assists going to Aaron Brown, Doyle and Coates. Netminder Cassidy Dobson played an excellent first regular season game. Sunday, the Bulls hosted
their first regular season home game, coming away with a 2 - 0 win over Uxbridge. Skilled goaltending from Cassidy Dobson earned her the first shutout of the season. The first goal was made by Jonathon Doyle with Ryley Muir earning the assist while Joey Coates received the unassisted second goal of the game. The team travels to Aurora for the first tournament of the season this coming weekend.
EMC Sports - The International Truckload Services Novice AA Junior Bulls keep on trucking early this season as they racked up another two wins this past weekend taking their winning streak to 11 games. The Bulls manhandled the defending league champs in Whitby Saturday with an 11 - 4 victory and then followed up Sunday with another “W”
over visiting Oshawa 8 1. Brady Spry and Jacoby Martin split both victories in the cage for the Bulls while tallies in the Whitby game went to Trevor Hoskin (3), Corbin Roach (3), Cooper Matthews (2), Nathan Woods (2) and Reed Anderson. Picking up assists were Marcus Asimis (2), Woods, Roach, Hoskin, Anderson, Ethan Geen and Jack Prophet.
In the Oshawa game goals went to Roach (2), Hoskin (2), Carter Lee, Asimis, Anderson and Prophet with assists going to Woods (2), Hoskin (2), Rheydon McCoy, Donovan McCoy, Asimis and Prophet. The Junior Bulls next action is a home contest versus Peterborough next Sunday 12:15 at Quinte Health and Wellness Centre Rink A.

By that time the Whitby Wildcats has secured a 5 - 3 lead over the Bulls which Whitby further secured with another goal late in the third.

A welcome aboard and thanks to our newest sponsors: Scott’s Haulage and Bruinix Jewellers who sponsored us this year for the first time. Our final tournament for the season was in fact the Bruinix Jewellers and was won by a team from Brighton. The skip for that team, Bev Bonter, went on to play as a member of a
district 15 Novice Triples Team. Bev played lead with Joan Brown as second or vice and Donna McLeese as skip. This same team competed in 2011 and came home with bronze medals; this year they earned silver. Congratulations ladies, we are all proud of you. Congratulations are in order too for three of our own players who have been playing together all season and finally won a prize in their last tour-

Alumni game offers memorable moments By Richard Turtle

EMC News - Stirling - With Don Cherry and Ron MacLean featured on the guest list at the local rink, it was a day of epic proportions. Hockeyville volunteers ended their weekend of celebrations as guests of an NHL alumni game Sunday night and there was plenty to cheer about as Team Stirling faced Team Rawdon in a two-period showdown. And under the guidance of the coaching duo of Stirling-Rawdon Councillor Grant Hagerman and Kraft VP Jack Hewitt it was the Rawdon squad that toppled Stirling, coached by Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney and former NHL coach and broadcaster Harry Neale. But it really was all in fun. Opening ceremonies included player introductions, the singing of the national anthem by Emily Workman, and the presentation of a $100,000 cheque from Kraft Canada for the community’s record-setting finish in the annual campaign. A ceremonial puck drop by former Stirling players Jim Wright and Ray Darrah also paid tribute to a pair of the local hockey association’s most
enduring supporters as they dropped the puck between captains Rob Ray and Dino Bianco. Wright is the first of four generations to play Stirling hockey while Darrah continues to make regular trips to the rink as a spectator. Included on the Stirling roster with captain Ray were ex-NHLers Jamie Allison, Laurie Boschman, Danny Gare, Brad May, Andrew Peters and PJ Stock, with Stirling teen Mike Brogee between the pipes. Team Rawdon included former Leafs Dan Daoust, Bill Derlago, Tom Fergus, Mike Johnson, Kevin Maguire, Brad Marsh and Jack Valliquette, with Curtis Brandt in the net. About 600 people crowded the rink for the game where local skaters Rob Ray, Mark Dobson and Steve Bancroft were among the goal scorers and some hand-picked talent got an evening to remember. Cooney and Hagerman admit it was hard not to get excited about the game and the community’s Hockeyville win while goaltenders Brogee and Brandt have a new hockey story to tell.

Continued from page B1
“In the dressing room,” said a wide-eyed Brogee, “I’m sitting beside Ron MacLean.” And for Brandt it was an equally memorable tilt involving more than a few
hard shots and several runins with his uncle Rob, who did manage to get one past the young stopper before the final buzzer sounded. Stirling stick boys includ-
ed Josh Hodge, Brock Badgley and Ethan Thompson, with the Rawdon contingent made up of Connor Hodge, Brayden Badgley and Owen Thompson.

Hop to feature 13 artists and several galleries The creativity is palpable in the paintings, sculpture, folk art, glass, wood, jewellery, textiles and photography, all within a ten-minute hop of each other. At Frantic Farms glass blower Paulus Tjiang has spent more time in the glass studio and less time on construction projects for their building in the village. Practical is “in.” He has developed an exciting new line of stemware, fun, elegant, and functional. Better than any commercially made drinkware
on this planet! Come by and find out why! Tjiang’s glass studio on Old Wooler Road will be open this year and he will be demonstrating his glass blowing technique. He will have a selection of glass work, and education displays, available there as well. Potter Monica Johnston will be showing a new selection of wood-fired pottery. This very traditional and dynamic method of firing pots yields deep earthy colours. She will be demonstrating
on the wheel and visitors are invited to try their hand at making a pot on the wheel, perhaps even win a $100 gift certificate by duplicating a piece thrown on the wheel by the potter herself. The gallery hop’s guest artist this year is sculptor Paul Portelli. He will be showing his Terra Cotta masks, animal sculptures, figurative work and other whimsies including his new all weather outdoor pieces for the garden. Kim McNeil at Eclectic Mix will be featuring work
by over 65 regional artists. She also welcomes back guest jewellery artist Elaine Wigle. Gundi Viviani–Finch’s studio is nestled on a hilltop overlooking the surrounding fields, forest, marsh, and creek providing much of the inspiration for her flowing sculptures, in particular the intense cold, bright light, snow and ice formations of the Canadian winter. Cheeky Bee has been making 100 per cent beeswax candles for ten years. Now with the opening of
their gallery on Main they feature many whimsical crafts and art. During this Hop the featured artist is painter Jilleen Jones whose exotic, handcrafted jewellery is both nature and vintage-inspired. At Pine Grove Studio, Sheree Rasmussen and Clive Russell are only a short Hop south of the village. Rasmussen is a textile artist, and Russell a painter and architect; together they are award-winning landscape designers. As well they are featuring guest artists Lenni Workman from Warkworth and Simon Schneiderman from Grafton. At this year’s Hop the Grannies for Africa will be hosting their sale of preloved vintage and costume jewellery on Saturday, October 13, at the Warkworth Town Hall Centre for the Arts, 40 Main Street, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. They will also feature lunch at their café, a pantry table and a white elephant sale. For more info on their sale call 705-924-9447.

At the farm we learned that the babies were always born during the daytime. We also learned that the Alpacas were sheared once a year and their fleece was sold as raw fleece to spinners or weavers in the local and Ottawa area. The spinners and weavers process the fleece into yarn which they make hats, mitts and socks. A great learning experience was had by all. The Sixth meeting was held at Rebecca Stockdale’s family Holstein dairy farm in Peterborough, where we toured the farm and milked the cows. The most favorite part was the taste testing Kawartha ice
cream. For our Achievement Day the Animal Friends Club was the Hosting Club for the Madoc Fair Petting Zoo where we had, water buffalo, miniature horses, alpacas, a pony, beef calves, chickens, rabbits, sulkies, ferrets, goats, kittens, gold fish races and face painting. The Animal Friends Club had the opportunity to go to the Toronto Zoo where we went back stage to see the Giraffes and the Indian Rhinoceros where we got to see them up close and pat them. Their keepers told us how they gave birth, how and what they ate. After that we got to explore all the amazing animals that are at the Zoo. It was a great day

Academia Nuts laugh-out-loud funny By Ray Yurkowski
EMC Entertainment Brighton - The Barn theatre production of Academia Nuts got off to a rocky start on opening night last weekend. Lots of gaffs and a little light on the laughs. Seemingly though, the four-person cast regrouped during the intermission of the two-act play and came out determined to turn it around. And it worked. There were some good laugh-out-loud moments in the final act. “That’s what they have to do for the whole show and I think, now, they understand this,” said director Kathy Lacasse. “You never know how a cast will react to an audience and performing. “Myself, I’m more nervous for dress rehearsal than opening night and the rest of the performances. But there are nights when one’s timing just seems to go out the window and you can’t get it back. The more you try, the worse it gets.” The second performance, on Saturday night, was more like it she added. “The jitters were gone and the actors were smooth and quick with their lines,” she said. “It was so much better. I’m sure the cast felt better and so did the audience. Whew, what a relief!” Academia Nuts is a small cast, one set and a simple

plot. Through the dialogue, the two women in the cast reveal one—Linda Sacchett as Tammi—is dealing with legal problems and car trouble while the other—Pat Dunn as Judith—is waiting to talk to her idol, Professor Peter Smedforson. Jeff Van de Kleut, a law-
yer in real life, is Professor Smedforson. Envision a young professor who has devoted his life to the study of a single poet and now lives in that poet’s house. The person you conjured is Van de Kleut. Colin Griffiths, as Stewart, comes up with a scheme to find a lost manuscript
and, thanks to the ensuing hunt; they discover the secret of one of America’s great poets. But Sacchett steals the show. A veteran of five Barn productions, she plays her role as a topless entertainer named Tammi to the hilt. Comedy is her favourite and it shows. “Life is too serious,” she says. “You have to laugh.” What attracted her to the production was the character, “very spontaneous, mixing with people who aren’t.” “I have to pretend I fit right in,” she said with a laugh. Although, Sacchett says this may be her last role on the stage, opting for a more comfortable seat in the director’s chair. And she’s already had a taste in another Barn production where she won the coveted “Barney” award for the one-act play. “I’m getting older,” she said. “It’s getting harder to keep the lines up here. It would be easier to see other people stumble on.” Need a good laugh? Performances of Academia Nuts are evenings at 8 p.m. on October 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13 and a matinee at 2 p.m. on October 14 at the Barn Theatre in Brighton. Tickets are $15 and can be reserved by calling 613-4752144.

EMC Entertainment Trenton - The Trent Port Historical Society will present The Dazzlebugs, commemorating Hollywood North (1917-1934), the silent movie industry in Trenton. The fabulous new show will take place on Saturday, November 10, at 8 p.m. in the newly decorated theatre of Trenton Town Hall - 1861, 55 King Street, Trenton. The Dazzlebugs is a collaboration featuring Jeanette Arsenault and Fraser Hardman. Both share a passion for the familiar standards and Tin Pan Alley hits of the early 1900s. Jeanette and Fraser are seasoned entertainers in their own rights, as accomplished vocalists and musicians. They perform primarily as a duo, joined on occasion by various friends and accompanists. Jeannette Arsenault’s roots are Acadian, explaining her great passion for music. She has released six solo albums to date and is currently in the studio working on several recording projects. Her performances have taken her to Salt Lake City, USA, and Athens, Greece, where she sang for the Canadian Olympic athletes. Recently she travelled to Helsinki, Finland, where she sang for an international women’s organization. Her bucket list has always included a desire to

LIFESTYLES
The Good Earth: EMC Lifestyles - Although we know this event is inevitable I can think of only one good immediate outcome. There is a new breed of mosquito out there that can only be termed as “fanatically aggressive.” Wee things that barely flicker across the periphery of vision, they dash straight to the chase and attempt to rip out fair chunks of dermis Clostis. Hopefully, this nip in the air will put an end to these nips to the skin. The first hard frost brings with it the psychological end of summer. Until now we’ve enjoyed what has been aptly termed “last of the summer wine.” Deep memories of winters past forefend that which is to come; they urge us out of our summer lethargies and we find our-

selves rushing rush to and fro our estates trying to put the garden to bed. We can’t help ourselves. Every gardening magazine, newspaper column, radio host and television show covers this topic in depth and almost ad nauseam. We are overwhelmed by this onslaught and we “lemming” ourselves to the garden centres. We stuff carts full of squirrel food (a.k.a. tulip bulbs), rabbit food (a.k.a. season ending sale shrubs), skunk magnets (a.k.a. blood meal - see squirrel food) and bone meal (a.k.a. a handful wouldn’t hurt). Now then, G.R., I know you are not included in that maddening crowd because you have a garden work plan. You made a note of what work needed to be
Reality Check:
Sheila Wray Gregoire EMC Lifestyles - This Thanksgiving, as families crowd around the table fighting for more of Grandma’s turkey and gravy, let’s take some time to remember the things we have to be grateful for. As for me, I’m grateful for this extraordinarily odd life we share. Think about it this way: everyone reading this column is richer than Henry VIII. King of England in the 1500s, he was wealthier than anyone else of his time. But he did not have Advil. Or central heating. Or hot showers, or antibiotics, or even anesthetic. And anesthetic is good. Very, very good. He may have had a myriad of people waiting
on him hand and foot, but he didn’t have many of the things we take for granted. But it’s not just because we live in 2012 that we have these luxuries. It’s also because we live in Canada. After travelling in Africa and even southern Europe, I am very grateful for our wide, clean, paved roads. I love our big supermarkets. I love our freedoms. We have it good. And as the clock is ticking ever more loudly counting down the time I still have with my daughters at home, I’m very grateful for the memories we’ve made. It’s so easy in the busy-ness of life to forget that the wonderful chaos we share now will not always be there. One day the house will be quiet, the fridge will stay full, and the living room will stay much neater. As my daughters grow older, I’m starting to appreciate the chaos all the more. Speaking of family, I’m thankful for second chances. Even when we face disappointments in life, and people betray or abandon us, that pain does not have to taint the rest of our lives. A little love, a little commitment, and a little dose of selflessness can create a rock solid family bond, no matter
done, found a time frame within which to accomplish each task, and you followed through. Your work now is no more strenuous than it was a month ago because you have it under control. (At least it will be next year, right?) So these to-do tasks are only reminders for you. For the rest of the folks who are not Gentle Readers, now’s the time to put the garden to bed! If it’s not too late snip off some cuttings of your annuals; transplant favourite geraniums to be used as mother plants, collect seeds as they ripen, divide and transplant perennials (remember to read the plant’s bio), add triple-mix, compost, manure etc. to the top of the beds.
My pet peeve is folks who collect grass and leaves and toss them out on the curb for pickup. This is valuable carbon essential to the health of your estate’s ecosystem. Start a compost pile. By the way, if you have a compost bin, now’s the time to empty it out. Don’t worry if some bits aren’t quite finished. Spread this bounty over the vegetable patch. Undone large bits can be raked up and returned to the bin. Temperature changes, precipitation, worms and other wee critters will reduce the organic matter to digested humus by spring snow-melt. Now that you have an empty compost bin, fill it up with tomato vines, dahlia stems etc. If you can, make a leaf pile, only leaves.
Preferably this will be in a place that will receive sun and a bit of wind. You might want to lay a sheet of plastic over top of the pile. The plan is to create leaf mould, desiccated or dried bits of leaves that will greatly reduce your reliance on peat moss. Some fruits and vegetables benefit from a frost. Parsnips and turnips are two of the tastier root crops. Hard apples such as Northern Spy, Delicious, and Ida Red etc. wait for this cold to trigger “ripening.” A layer of cells in the stem die preventing movement of nutrients from the apple. Conversion of starch to sugar begins and, in the case of these apples, it may take up to two months. Buy some of these varieties from your local orchard or farmers’ mar-
Dan Clost ket and store them in a cool dry place away from onions and potatoes. In January, retrieve a few and enjoy their sweetness. Compare our homegrown and home stored produce with those starchy cardboard imports. It is time to put the gardens to bed, but relax and take time to enjoy the last of the summer wine.
Why I’m thankful where you came from. I’m grateful that despite the ugliness and violence and depravity we see on the news and on reality shows, the vast majority of people actually tend to do the right thing. Sure Jersey Shore may make it look like the younger generation has lost all moral grounding, and the riots in the Middle East make the future look grim, but on the whole, in small, day-to-day decisions, people tend to choose well. It’s actually quite amazing. I’m grateful to live in a small town, where I can’t go to the grocery store without running into someone I know. Some find that stifling; I find it comforting. After growing up in Toronto and feeling insignificant, I finally have a home. I’m grateful for my left knee. I complain to no end about my right knee, which seems intent on driving me to an early date with a surgeon. But every time my right knee acts up, it reminds me that my left knee is perfectly lovely, thank you very much. So are my hips, and my elbows, and my shoulders. And as I hit my forties and my eyes start to squint whenever a medicine bottle comes near,
I’m grateful that they’re also compensating by helping me see distances better. Aging is not all bad. I’m grateful for hair dye. There is nothing quite as
fun to a woman as changing the colour of her hair to match her mood. Or the seasons. Or just a whim. I’m grateful for friends who keep me grounded, for
a husband who keeps me feeling secure, and for kids who keep me laughing. And I’m grateful for a holiday to remind us of all of these things.

Nine-year-old’s bottle drive honours best friend van filled with empty bottles that had been donated that weekend. “Ehlana’s initial goal was to raise $1,000 for the Foundation,” said her mom. “She’s raised $4,378.86 and there’s still money coming in,” she added. The family will be returning for their final getaway of the summer this Thanksgiving weekend and are hoping the donations will keep coming. Bob and Carole-Ann Hayes, owners of the resort, fully support what young Ehlana is doing noting her decision to raise money on behalf of her friend, “is worthy, and deserving of recognition for a very selfless and compassionate idea.” The Hayes explained that Ehlana asked the people in the resort to donate their empties at the close of the weekends and she walks around the park with her wagon to gather them all. “Virtually all who see her bring out their empties for

Let’s get together and show our support for Ehlana and Samantha and donate your empties today,” states Lanetta on the Facebook group page (bottle drive 2012).

They have encouraged many patrons to add their empties to my daughter’s collection helping her boost her total,” Lanetta told EMC. “We would also like to thank the friends we have made at Fisherman’s Paradise Resort where all participated generously in contributing their empties in support of the two girls. Without their encouragement Ehlana’s drive would not have been such a great success.” Momentum for the fund raiser continues with support from businesses in the Waterloo and Hamilton area with their own bottles drives as employees are encouraged to donate their empties. The response has been overwhelming, especially for young Samantha’s family. Perhaps her mom Lisa said it best: “She [Samantha] is in the fight of her life and has the wonderful and loving support of so many family and friends. The most

EMC News - Campbellford - Ehlana James lives in Kitchener and Samantha Carvalho lives in Hamilton. They are both nine years old and they are best friends. This summer Ehlana decided to do something to honour and support her friend who was diagnosed with a brain tumour just over two years ago and is currently undergoing treatment. She decided to hold a can and bottle drive at the resort where she and her family holiday during the summer months. The bottle drive is to raise money for the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. The empties gathered from campers at Fisherman’s Paradise Resort (Seymour 13th Line East) were brought to The Beer Store in Campbellford and that is where EMC caught up with Ehlana’s parents, Lanetta and Mark James.

And, despite venturing into a new venue at 70 years of age, he has become quite prolific and highly skilled in producing both hockeythemed art and landscapes. “I’m kind of surprised to find myself reaching that level where people might be interested in purchasing,” he said. “I sold a few at a show in Aurora last winter; it was a pleasant experience.” The show will feature about 50 to 60 paintings, Please see “Hockey” on page B9

Local Liberals praise Rae’s efforts EMC News - Belleville - It is time to decriminalize marijuana, Interim Federal Liberal Leader Bob Rae suggested in Belleville’s downtown Capers Thursday evening. His stance was in reply to a question and comment from an audience member who contended “the war on drugs is the elephant in the room.” Rae allowed that there are many considerations, but essentially, addictions are “mental and medical health issues—not political,” and “no society has ever incarcerated itself into safety and security. Booze and cigarettes are the two most dangerous drugs,” he said. In interviews with the news media, Rae agreed he won’t be leader after the party’s leadership convention in April, but he expects to remain as an MP in the party and give whatever assistance he can. And after many years and many roles in both provincial and federal politics, “I still think it is fun,” he said, referring especially to meeting and talking to Canadians from coast to coast. He also refreshed the audience of about 160 that even though the party suffered its worst defeat in the
2011 election “since 1840,” the phones were ringing the next day offering support. “We have added about 25,000 members, there are no outstanding bills and we have money in the bank, but we need a lot more to fight the next election,” he said. Rae said he believes the Liberal party continues to best represent the ordinary Canadian who wants a choice “between two extremes,” suggesting both the Conservatives and the NDP tend to make “simplistic” decisions based on political dogma, rather than genuine understanding of the people’s needs. He drew a burst of applause with his statement that the “the bottom is not dropping out of the economy; it is the middle that is dropping out,” stressing that government must restore the former power and influence of the middle class to achieve prosperity. Rae concluded with cautionary thoughts that Canadians cannot take “sustainability” for granted, nor democracy, nor even the nation, referring to recent moves and proclamations by the new separatist government in Quebec. He said he supported the defeat of a motion about
abortion in the House of Commons earlier in the week and had concerns about the hard core of Conservative MPs who are apparently opposed to women’s choice. He then suggested the same hard core might seek to bring back capital punishment. Another issue raised was the proposed takeover of Canada’s oil sands and energy company, Nexen. Rae made it clear he has no problem doing business with China as long as there are common sense controls and reciprocity. “It’s pointless to worry about a Chinese company taking over two per cent of our oil sands when United States corporations own 70 per cent,” he said. Rae was formally welcomed by Mayor Neil Ellis who quipped: “My job is tough some days, … but I wouldn’t want yours.” Rae was introduced by Peter Tinsley, standard bearer for the riding in the last election, who noted representation from neighbouring ridings at the meeting. He also commented on the possibility of Justin Trudeau running for the leadership. “My main concern is that we have the choice of all the best possible talent there is
… and the fact that Bob Rae will not run is a loss.”
Rae’s visit was part of a series of lectures the local
federal riding association began last fall.

Last weekend, he presented a heritage plaque to Paul Henderson in recognition of scoring the decisive goal that earned Canada a historic victory over Russia in the 1972 Summit Series. “There I am with all the Team Canada members and the Prime Minister,” he said. “I didn’t feel out of place so much, it was all hockey, but I was really honoured that somebody remembered me and asked me to make the presentation.” The next day, McFarlane made another presentation

History can be a gold mine says producer
EMC News - Belleville History sells, affirms Picton film producer Peter Lockyer, who announced his intentions Saturday to turn his History Lives Here short history clips into an expanding business across Ontario. He was introducing his fourth series of two-minute vignettes based on local heritage sites, historical personalities and events, made in conjunction with the Kiwanis Club of Belleville which is now selling the DVDs for a fund raiser following a pre-screening in The Empire Theatre Saturday evening. To illustrate his plan, Lockyer pointed to the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, site of the famous U.S. Civil War battle which cost 50,000 lives and inspired President Abraham Lincoln’s famous “Gettysburg Address,” which, at two minutes in length, is the same as Lockyer’s film vignettes. With a population of little more than 5,000, Gettysburg has parlayed its historic connection into a multi-million historybased industry employing more than 5,000 people, he said. History and heritage could be equally profitable for the Quinte area, he contended, bemoaning the continuing loss of heritage buildings, especially in
Picton and Prince Edward County, which included Sir John A. Macdonald’s original law office, demolished in the 1960s. It’s a good thing the pyramids are in Egypt and not in Prince Edward County, he quipped, otherwise they, too, would probably be destroyed. “If you tear down all the special places in your community, what, then, is special about it?” he asked. Many historic buildings and sites remain at risk, he said, suggesting that if the area wants to capitalize on history as Gettysburg has, efforts must start to preserve it. The 12-topic series screened for the audience is his fourth such series and “We’ll never run out of material,” he said, anticipating more series. He’s also dealing with other communities across Ontario for similar projects. The shorts are being used as add-ons for regular motion picture show-
ings and Cogeco TV programs. His goal, he said, is to “create a new industry from an old asset.” Long-time Kiwanian and past district lieutenant-governor Marj Buck was lead contact for the club in arranging and promoting the History Lives Here deal with Lockyer. “And we’re going to do it again next year,” she announced in the theatre. Club president Ed Hawman commented on the significance of the club’s 90th anniversary this year and the appropriateness of partnering in a historybased project. The current series includes shorts about Susanna Moodie, area lighthouses, the canning industry, Point Anne cement, The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, the Spiritualist movement Fox sisters, the Belleville McFarlands hockey team and Glanmore National Historic Site.

Anthology writers in literary spotlight
EMC Lifestyles - Norwood The recently launched anthology That Not Forgotten will be in the spotlight during another Cat Sass Coffeehouse literary evening October 12 in Norwood. Edited by Kingston poet Bruce Kauffman, the an-

Walk or run to find a cure for diabetes
“It is a collage of voice from writers who either still or at some point shared this place, this soil,” says Kauffman. The call for submissions received “a tremendous generosity of both heart and spirit,” he says. What it has produced is a 300-page anthology featuring 120 authors. “The pulse of Lake Ontario’s north shore is felt on every page,” says Norwood writer Ursula Pflug who helps organize Cat Sass literary nights. “Mimicking the historic and contemporary landscape, the pendulum swings from seasoned bards to freshly scratched voices worthy of an undivided eye,” she says. “When it came to selecting the pieces he went with his poignant poetic instincts
and chose the best,” writer Ashleigh Gehl adds. “I wanted it to be broad,” Kauffman says. “It was nice to get the bigger names in and the fact that they were interested in being a part of the book but it wasn’t geared toward that. It’s just a wonderful collection of poetry with a bit of short prose thrown in that covers any range of emotions. Perspectives of a time the writers had spent in this area.” Local writers like Pflug, Leanne Simpson, Lucy Barnett, Ruth Clarke, Kelly Pflug-Back and Tapanga Koe are included in the book. “Bruce has been wonderful to work with and it’s really turned out to be a beautiful book,” says Pflug. All royalties from postrelease book sales will go to The Al Purdy A-Frame Trust, with the long-term

Planning for a big 25th anniversary plowing match EMC News - Quinte West The 25th anniversary of the Hastings County Plowing Match will be back to its original site in Quinte West. “We will be setting up just south of the fairgrounds in Stirling,” said George
Sandercock at the Agricultural Advisory Committee meeting at city hall recently. “That is the original site.” Sandercock wanted to know if the city would waive any permits for tents. Jim Alyea moved they waive the fee. Sandercock said that will allow them to move forward
and get on with plans “or it will cost too much money.” Director of Planning Charlie Murphy said it costs “$100 a pop” to set up a tent. Ron Hamilton asked if they needed culverts put in.
Thanksgiving weekend is no time to forget water safety
EMC News - Thanksgiving weekend is a perfect time for one last boat or canoe ride before winter sets in, but it’s no time to let your guard down when it comes to water safety. Ontario Power Generation and Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are reminding people to stay clear of all hydroelectric dams and generating stations. “The cooler weather this weekend should be ideal for a canoe or boat ride to see fall colours or go for a hike, but it’s no time to stop thinking about water safety rules,” says Frank Chiarotto, OPG’s Senior Vice President Hydro-Thermal. “Water conditions may ap-
Sandercock said he expects they will be doing a lot of brush cutting and other work to allow for the huge numbers they will be expecting. “It will be a bigger show,
our 25th,” he noted. He added they hope to have it on Thursday, Friday and Saturday instead of starting mid-week which brought a lot of complaints from people who had to
work. However, there were 19,500 who attended the last one. Meetings on the Plowing Match will be held Tuesday nights starting in January at the Tuckers Corners facility. R0011654688/1004

pear safe, but can change frequently, rapidly and without warning.” “Our marine officers continue to promote safe boating, in particular the benefits of wearing your life jacket while on smaller boats which are prone to tipping,” says OPP Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey. “Thirteen people have died in boating-related incidents in 2012, 12 of which involved vessels of less than six metres in length. People falsely assume if life jackets are available in the boat, they have time to put them on when there is trouble. Play it safe when heading out on the water.”

Local author completes trilogy By Sue Dickens
R0011660686
EMC Entertainment Warkworth - More than 100,000 words fill the pages of Destiny, a book written by Jennifer Gibson that closes one chapter in her life’s journey, and opens the doors to another. This is her final book in a series she started writing more than three years ago, which led to the launch of her first book, Sway, followed by the second titled Compass. “Destiny was the most difficult to write not because of the storyline but because it was emotionally exhausting; it was quite a journey for me,” she told EMC. The trilogy is based on events taken from her own life experiences as a hard-of-hearing teenager
who was often bullied. “I felt compelled to write this series. I felt the world needed to know, because there’s very few books about this … socially it’s a very isolating disability,” she commented. Writing has given Gibson the opportunity to put into words just how she felt growing up. “I wanted to give people an idea of what it’s like being a teenager especially one with a disability who is hearing impaired,” she explained. The idea for a trilogy came after fans read her first book and demanded more. “Sway is basically an introduction to Jessie, the main character, she’s me, basically a younger version of myself. The book
Thank You
contains facets of my life as I was growing up … and you’ll see a lot of situations and scenarios that are true events that happened to me that I’ve incorporated into my stories,” she added. In Compass Jessie tries different jobs to see what she’s good at, to see how she can deal with people, outside of school. In Destiny Jessie gets more jobs and learns a lot more about herself, “in terms of how strong she really is, in terms of how much she’s grown. She’s matured considerably by the third book. She has gained more confidence and self-esteem,” explained Gibson, who describes her books as a window to her soul. “I can recall actual situ-

“Don’t give up. Persevere. It takes a lot of courage, but it’s worth it in the end.” publishers it was then I suddenly asked myself what have I done because it is a huge chunk of my life and it’s out there for all the world to see.” But that didn’t stop her from continuing to write. Coincidentally completion of her trilogy coincides with the publication of her first book as a paperback. Sway and Compass were released as e-books through the Canadian company Kobo. “I spent over two years searching for publishers,” said Gibson with excitement. “I was hoping for a Canadian publisher to pick them up so I was searching all across Canada. Every five or six months I sent
out a new query and then one day I saw a site for authors and it was a contest pitch,” she explained. That site brought her writing to the attention of Black Opal Books, a company in the USA, which decided to publish her first book, bringing it to the marketplace as a paperback. The book Sway can now be ordered through Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Barnes and Noble, and “is coming to Chapters in a few weeks.” “All three books are going to be in paperback
eventually,” said Gibson with confidence. Her message to aspiring writers: “Don’t give up. Persevere. It takes a lot of courage, but it’s worth it in the end.” Gibson is donating copies of her book to the local libraries and a book signing is being planned for Cat Sass, in Norwood with signings in the works for Chapters/Indigo outlets in Peterborough and Belleville.

Northern reeves challenge culture study By Jack Evans
EMC News - Belleville When it comes to the new Quinte Cultural Plan, north Hastings reeves think like Annie Oakley in the hit musical: “doin’ what comes natcherly.” “It’s a waste of money,” said Reeve Carl Tinney of Faraday. His thoughts were
echoed by Reeve Dan McCaw of Wollaston. Both contended that most cultural activities, like most of the county’s economy, are based in the south and there is little benefit or impact north of Highway 7. They were commenting after Greg Baeker of the consultant firm presented an
overview of the plan which, he said, should be implemented over ten years. County Planner Brian McComb rose to defend the report, recalling his involvement with a similar study in Prince Edward County five years ago which has led to solid economic growth and benefit to the entire county in
the Loyal Blues Fellowship Inc, your local Blues Society, affiliated with the International Blues Foundation. The Fellowship hosts monthly jams and coffee houses at the Engineers Hall, in Belleville, and produces a “Blues in the
Schools” program in the area’s school boards. To register for the competition, contact Peggy Voigt, President, Loyal Blues Fellowship Inc at <festival@ loyalblue.ca> or call 613-3921025.
Challenge dates announced
EMC Entertainment - The Loyal Blues Fellowship Inc invites tour-ready blues acts to take part in this year’s “Road to Memphis Challenge.” This competition is open to local solo/duos or bands that are ready to compete at an international level, can obtain valid passports, and are members of the Loyal Blues Fellowship Inc. (Membership available). The winners of this local competition will be eligible to compete at the International Blues Challenge on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, from Tuesday, January 29, through Saturday, February 2. Full competition rules and detailed information on this fantastic competition in its 29th year, are available on the Blues Foundations web site, <blues.org>. Locally, the Fellowship will hold a preliminary round on October 21, at Legendz Pub on Highway 62 across the Bay Bridge from Belleville in Rossmore. The top qualifying acts from this preliminary will be invited to compete at the final round, Saturday, November 17, at Stix & Stones, 164 Front Street, in Trenton. ($5 admission) Both rounds of competition are open to the public, and we encourage you to attend for your chance to catch some amazing local talent! This event is organized by
recent years. The key thrust of recommendations was for more collaboration between various cultural organizations and activities, starting with a “round table” of municipal staff and cultural group representatives to work toward implementation. The plan was funded by Hastings County and the cities of Belleville and Quinte West, plus the province and the Eastern Ontario Economic Development Fund. Baeker noted it was an eight-month process involving some 340 people. He argued that while Canada has lost 340,000 manufacturing jobs in the past few years, creative sec-
tor jobs have added about 200,000, and the creative economy is expected to grow by 40 per cent over the next decade. Andrew Redden, county economic development director, in introducing Baeker, reminded that cultural tourism and other economic growth benefits were the main reason the county initiated the study. Council passed the study for adoption and implementation. In other business, Warden Rick Phillips announced a donation of $20,000 from the John and Bernice Parrott Foundation toward the new fitness facility in Hastings Manor.
Council was also referred to a report from the Trent Conservation Coalition for Drinking Water Source Protection for review and comment. Estimated costs for some Hastings County municipalities over five years are extremely high, such as $1.4 million for Stirling-Rawdon and almost $550,000 for Marmora-Lake. Warden Phillips also expressed continuing concern over proposed riding boundary changes and said he and others are working on alternatives with the electoral boundary commission to prevent the County of Hastings from being completely broken up.
EMC News - Brighton Northumberland OPP were dispatched to a Young Street property early last week after thieves entered an unlocked shed at a construction site and removed six 30-inch by 60-inch white sliding windows along with three bundles of insulation. The estimated value of the theft is approximately $2,100. An 18-year-old Cramahe Township male has been charged with mischief and possession of property obtained by crime after a pickup truck and an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) were stolen from a Campbellford business. On September 21, while the owner of the 2000 Nissan Frontier truck was inside inquiring about repairs, the vehicle was stolen along with the business owner’s four-wheel Yahama Blaster. Two days later, the truck was found, spray painted and covered in mud, south of Warkworth. The ATV was also recovered just east of where it was taken. Another 18-year-old male, of no fixed address, was charged with theft of a motor vehicle and possession of property obtained by crime.
