EMC Entertainment - Hastings - After 20 years the good vibrations continue to flow at the Preston Springs Canadian Country Family Jamboree.

The milestone anniversary for the now three-day event, after an initial one-day gathering, drew its best crowd ever to the riverside campground near Hastings helped out by superb weather and a lineup of outstanding talent, most of them local, including dazzling sets by Aiden McGill, Western Avenue, Sweet Grass and a Sunday surprise by fast-rising musician Brandon Scott, aided by his buddies Doug Oliver and B.J. McMillan of hugely popular rockers My Darkest Days.

“It doesn’t seem like twenty years ago [but] I’m glad to see the way it is today,” Al Preston told the Trent Hills Independent.

“I still believe it’s people who make your jamboree, not you,” Preston said.

“It’s been a challenge but also enjoyable.

“The neighbourhood around the area is really supportive, people on the river, they’re all happy with what’s going on and that makes you feel good,” he said.

The jamboree has grown from the oneday show 20 years ago and a sparse number of campers to an event that has a loyal and regular following that includes a large number of families with young children.

“The place is full of kids; you don’t see that in other places,” says Preston.

The Friday afternoon open stage show is famous for drawing some of those youngsters to the microphone.

“We’ve met some good friends through this and many people from twenty years ago still attend,” he said. “It’s nice to see them still active and loyal and helping us Nikki English and Matt Williams of Western Avenue perform during the twentieth annual Preston Springs Canadian Country Family Jamboree near Hastings which drew a large crowd of campers and day visitors over three days. Western Avenue will appear at next month’s Havelock Country Jamboree. Photo: Bill out.”

EMC News - Norwood - A “clear and clean” property standards bylaw will be drafted to replace the township’s current bylaw which is considered “cumbersome” and prone to time-consuming and protracted pursuits of people in violation of municipal regulations.

“We have some issues in the municipality that are eye-catching,” Deputy-mayor

“We want to draft a new bylaw that will allow us to deal with the activities and situations.”

As it stands now Whitmore said the appeal process can take anywhere from six months to two years to address a property standards order and the violations mainly deal with derelict structures through the Building Code.

with something that allows the municipality to respond and resolve issues in a more timely and satisfactory manner.

“Staff recognizes that the current bylaw is pretty cumbersome and that we [need to] draft a new clear and clean bylaw which allows us to quickly respond and allow us to get work done,” van Koeverden said.

It “takes us quite a while to go through the process” utilizing the current bylaw, he

Joe Crowley said during council’s last regular meeting. The deputy-mayor is frustrated at the length of time it takes to pursue a property standards violation.

“We should establish what the criteria are and if it’s unacceptable [to the property owner] we hire someone to do it,” he said.

Both CAO Joe van Koeverden and chief building official Ed Whitmore agree that the current bylaw needs to be replaced

Trent Hills preparing to sue federal government over power rights

EMC News - Trent Hills - The municipality will try to do what David never had to: defeat Goliath twice.

Council has instructed legal counsel to file a statement of claim against the federal government demanding it pay almost $1.55 million plus interest for failing to provide it with free electricity as required under an agreement dating to 1914.

But the municipality might not have to go to court as it did more than 30 years ago when the Federal Court ruled Canada had to supply the town of Campbellford 350 horsepower at no charge forever.

Northumberland-Quinte West MP Rick Norlock released a statement by Parks Canada July 9 saying the federal agency “is in the process of developing a negotiation strategyâ€? that could include a one-time lump sum payment of $9 million to secure a “full and final release ‌ of its current and future obligations to

the municipality.�

Parks Canada promised to report on the progress of its strategy to the municipality’s legal counsel by August 22 and it asked that the municipality consider the update “before entering into any kind of legal procedure.�

The dispute is over a right that was originally granted in 1914 to a woollen mill the town acquired in 1978 when it bought the Campbellford Cloth Company (where Old Mill Park is located).

According to a draft statement of claim prepared by the law firm of Weir and Foulds, and attached to a report prepared for council by CAO Mike Rutter, the federal government refused to supply the power so Campbellford took the matter to Federal Court. In September 1981, Mr. Justice Patrick Mahoney declared the right to free electricity contained in the agreement remained in full force with the change in ownership.

However, when terms of the agreement continued to go unfulfilled, Campbellford commenced another action against Canada in July 1982 for breach of agreement, demanding $100,000 in damages. The action was abandoned when the matter was subsequently settled, and the supply of electric power to Campbellford was restored, according to the draft statement of claim.

However, Canada has not supplied electric power to Trent Hills from 2002 to the present, although Parks Canada did make an “interim payment� of $182,592 in 2006, Rutter noted.

The total value of power not supplied since 2002 has been set at $1,548,910. “They’re now in arrears over a million dollars and we want our money,â€? Mayor Hector Macmillan told reporters July 2. “We have a solid case,â€? he said. “A deal is a deal ‌ We want to settle this once and for all.â€?

Norlock said the proposed resolution “makes a lot of sense.�

The mayor has said since he was first elected “that he would like to see an end to this� and “it appears as though Parks Canada is seriously considering that� with a one-time settlement, he said.

Macmillan said July 5 that Weir and Foulds, the same firm that represented Campbellford in the first court case, had yet to file the statement of claim but was expected to do so shortly. Its allegations will then need to be proved in court.

Rutter in his report to council said

“representatives from Parks Canada have acknowledged their obligations under the agreement but have indicated that they have no funds in their budget to pay.�

Parks Canada said in its statement last week that the negotiation strategy it’s developing includes “the need to validate the $1.55 million estimated in arrears.�

The right to free electricity was given first to the Trent Valley Woollen Manufacturing Co. Ltd. by the federal government after the company claimed the government’s removal of its dam deprived it of a source of water power.

Christina does a lot of the talent scouting and likes the fact that they focus largely on local acts “to showcase their talent before a larger audience.� “It’s not a very big budget so you can’t go too crazy,� she says. “You want to make sure you cover a full cross section [and] try to appeal to every person here in a different way.�

She’s proud of the fact that they do not use a house band. “We’ve held firmly to our structure of full bands.�

Many of those musicians are now close friends,� she added. “You create a family outside of your own family.�

The current bylaw does address things like leaves and grass “but it is just a much longer process,� Whitmore said. “There are 13 steps to go through and there are appeals all the way.�

A new bylaw would be very clear about things like discarded vehicles, leaves and “unkempt properties,� he added.

Councillor Roy Millett asked if the new bylaw could have a “property appearance section and once we issue an order it has to be done in 14 days.�

Whitmore said the new draft bylaw will indeed have a property appearance section.�

Millett liked the idea of a clear, clean and streamlined bylaw and accountability process. “If we hand someone 20 pages that is no good, just hand them a sheet,� he said.

Councillor Rick Kloosterman wondered about people who are parking oversized boats and trailers on lots. “I’ve actually seen people build permanent driveways for them,� Kloosterman said.

The municipality’s zoning bylaw addresses sizes of vehicles that are permitted in a residential zone, said Whitmore.

Township will create economic advisory committee

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Norwood - Building on the success of a recent economic development open house and the township’s newly released draft strategic plan, the township is setting out to form an economic development advisory committee.

The committee of council, with no less than five members, will be composed of one councillor, CAO Joe van Koeverden and local business people.

“I think this will help us move forward on economic development goals,” says CAO van

Koeverden.

The committee will be able to provide “advice and suggestions” on economic development activities and promotions to municipal staff and to himself, van Koeverden said.

The advisory group would also provide “input into the business and services mix desired in the township” as well as the “expertise” to assist van Koeverden in working with industry contacts and interested investors.

The committee would be “outside the parameters of a DBIA [Downtown Business Improvement Association] as it would be open

to all businesses within the municipality,” van Koeverden noted.

All meetings will be open to the general public although only committee members will be able to make decisions on recommendations to council, he added.

Guest speakers will also be invited on an occasional basis to make presentations to the group.

“It’s a good idea,” Councillor Mary Hay said.

“It will allow us to consider potential opportunities,” Hay said.

“Urgent” need to preserve heritage documents, says deputy mayor

“If there was a flood it would ruin all our historical records,” Crowley said.

The township has explored the possibility of assisting the historical society move to space at Norwood District High School but facilities manager Chuck Pedersen told council that the “initial response” is that the school board is asking $10,000 a year to accommodate the organization and its collection of material.

“That’s not really an option,” Pedersen said.

“The Friendship Club is the primary tenant [of the Pine Street Centre] and the historical society stores stuff there,” he said.

Pedersen said they were working on “some other options” regarding the historical society but have no answers as to what the solution will be.

Following a tour of public facilities in the township, Crowley said it was “obvious that we need to have more emphasis on our historical well-being and the history that has been preserved and take care of it. I really feel strongly about that.”

The Pine Street Centre is “really not a good

location” for the society’s heritage collection, Pedersen agreed.

EMC News - Norwood - There is an “urgent” need to make sure heritage documents and artefacts collected by the Asphodel-Norwood Historical Society are protected from loss through flooding and fire, Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley says.

Deputy-mayor Crowley made the comment during a discussion on the relocation of the Asphodel-Norwood Seniors Friendship Club from the Pine Street Centre to the community centre’s Millennium Room. With the move the lone tenant of the Pine Street Centre would be the historical society which stores materials in the building’s lower level.

Crowley cited the unspeakably tragic fire in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, which not only killed scores of people but destroyed the town’s historical records. He could also have cited the devastating Hastings Town Hall fire of 1989 which also destroyed a considerable number of that village’s original documents.

As well, the Peterborough flood of 2004 severely damaged documents at the Trent Valley Archives and many items in the irreplaceable

Township hopes to “maximize” parking in Norwood

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Norwood - The Township of Asphodel-Norwood wants to “maximize” the parking it has available in the village of Norwood, says CAO Joe van Koeverden.

The municipality is pursuing some parking changes to help achieve that objective.

That includes working with Foodland to have the front strip of parking next to Highway #7 designated as municipal parking and encouraging

W&J

car-poolers to use the newly resurfaced Victoria Street parking lot behind the town hall rather than the Foodland parking lot which they have been using.

“We’re going to locate a loading zone in front of Ralph’s Butcher Shop,” said van Koeverden.

“We’re going to dedicate that spot to [a] loading zone and pickup area.”

“We want to maximize the use of parking we have on an everyday basis,” he added.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Wonderful Westben does it again

Dear Editor, My weekly visit to Westben Arts Festival Theatre at Campbellford was amply rewarded last Saturday afternoon, as usual in this 14th season.

The program Burns to Brigadoon not only demonstrated the wide range of entertainment offered at this venue, but evoked many happy memories of my childhood in Scotland.

Brian Finley once again showed his talents and versatility as a pianist, arranger and accompanist, and also did

a wonderful and sometimes humorous job in introducing the Music of Robert Burns and Friends in the first half of the programme. He then outdid himself with his recounting of the story of Brigadoon after the intermission so that the audience could thoroughly enjoy and understand the music.

Local international artiste Donna Bennett showed her versatility and fine soprano voice in the haunting Eriskay Love Lilt and the rousing Charlie is my Darling as well as in many show tunes

from Brigadoon. Her duets with Colin Ainsworth delighted the audience as two wonderful operatic voices united to recapture the highlights of a hit Broadway Musical and also the plaintive Afton Water, the rousing Star of Rabbie Burns (Yes it’s Rabbie) and beautiful and effective first act closing rendition of Will ye no come back again.

Tenor Colin Ainsworth is another wonderful Canadian singer with a lovely voice that blended beautifully with Donna Bennett’s in their duets.

His renditions and soaring high notes of Annie Laurie and My Love is like a red, red Rose brought a lump to the throat of this old Scot.

The Scottish theme of this program was supported by many of the audience, who donned their tartan stoles, ties, skirts and kilts, despite the warmish temperatures. The single malt Scotch whisky tastings were very popular but would be even more so at the November and December programs.

We still have much more to anticipate

in this eclectic season at “The Barn” with instruments ranging from violas to banjos, Flamenco guitar, the human voice and of course a birthday party for Westben’s Steinway piano.

They will pay homage to a wide range of composers, ranging from Benny Goodman to Bach, Brian Finley to Faure and Chabrier to Schumann as well as celebrating the 200th anniversaries of Verdi and Wagner. Oh the joys of summer on the meadow at Westben!

Iain Henderson, Brighton

Dear Editor, About 60 years ago I was 16 and had been practising my hand signals, parallel parking and rules of the road and felt I was ready to get my licence.

I arrived at the examiner’s office which consisted of two chairs and a table in a little cubbyhole at the back

of somebody’s business establishment.

There were no computers or cameras and no posters on the walls to tell you how to drive just the two chairs and a table.

I was greeted by Mr. Smith (the examiner) with, “Ah, you must be Cliff’s boy.” It seems that Mr. Smith and

my father were buddies and members of the local Legion. After discussing the first world war for some time, Mr. Smith asked if I would mind if we returned a few empties to the beer store while we were doing my test so we carried out three 24s and a 12-pack to the car.

When we arrived at the car and we

were ready to go, Mr. Smith observed that I was parked in a no parking zone and that wasn’t a very good start so I thought I had failed the test right there.

We then went straight to the beer store with no hand signals, no parallel parking or any discussion of the rules of the road where Mr. Smith exchanged his

empties for three full 24s and a 12-pack and returned immediately to his office where we parked in the no parking zone and completed the paper work. I was told that I did fine and say hello to your father.

Jack Knowles, Brighton

Getting my driver’s licence in Paris (Ontario)

E-scooter must follow the rules of the road Dear Editor, Recently I sent an article in and stated what should be required to operate an E-scooter. On Friday, July 12, I was crossing the bridge going toward downtown.

I was to the right as I was going straight ahead while the left-turn traffic was properly positioned in their lane.

I looked in my right mirror and could see the scooter passing everyone on the right tight to the sidewalk. It was obvious that this was a

new rider as he bounced off the curb twice, was dragging his feet and braking at the last second.

As we all proceeded, he turned on Front Street no signal given. It is only a matter of time until someone is going to get injured or killed doing careless actions like this. This guy had grey hair so the young careless driver can be ruled out. If you are out in traffic you must ride with it. That is the safest place to be.

Tennis court public meeting to be held in August

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Havelock Local residents can add their thoughts on what to do with the Concession Street tennis court during a public meeting to be held in conjunction with the municipality’s August 12 council meeting.

“I’d like to hear more and to see what people’s feelings are,” Councillor Jim Martin said as council approved a motion to hold the public meeting.

Councillor Martin has

spoken frequently on the need for council to make a decision on whether to rebuild the existing court or to have it removed.

A report prepared for council by arena and parks manager Doug Hart nearly a year ago looked at both those options and indicated that a rebuilding project would cost between $32,000 and $35,000.

A rebuild would include removing the old asphalt and installing a new asphalt

surface, removing the existing fence and installing a new fence on the existing posts and adding a new entry gate; there would also be new tennis line markings and new poles and tennis net.

To remove the tennis court would cost between $8,500 and $10,000 and would entail removing all existing infrastructure and disposing of it and then landscaping the area with grass, trees, park benches and picnic tables.

Martin says he has not heard from members of the public on the tennis court since he last spoke about the issue.

At that meeting Martin said “something has to be done, it’s a liability sitting there. We should do something about it one way or another.

“I keep looking at it every time I drive by trying to decide what is the best way [to deal with it]. As much as I hate to lose something that’s already there,” he added.

The township has applied to federal government’s FedDev Ontario Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) in the hope of securing money for a tennis court project.

Councillor Larry Ellis would like to have an open house and information session in September to discuss recreation issues.

Spies and whistle-blowers

EMC Editorial - Edward Snowden, a former contractor to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, has been trapped in the transit lounge of Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow for the past two weeks, while the United States government strives mightily to get him back in its clutches.

Last week it even arranged for the plane flying Bolivian President Eve Morales home from Moscow to be diverted to Vienna and searched, mistakenly believing Gwynne Dyer that Snowden was aboard.

Former U.S. army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning is already in the U.S. government’s clutches.

Having endured 1,100 days of solitary confinement, he is now on trial for “aiding the enemy” by passing a quarter-million U.S. embassy messages, Afghanistan and Iraq war logs, detainee assessments from Guantanamo and videos of U.S. attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq to the WikiLeaks web site.

These two American whistle-blowers have a lot in common.

They are both young idealists who had access to the inner workings of the U.S. “security community,” and were appalled by what they learned. Their intentions were good, but their fate may be harsh. (Bradley faces life in prison without parole.)

And there is one big difference between them.

Bradley, the more naive of the two, was shocked by facts that more experienced observers take for granted: that governments, including the U.S. government, routinely lie to their citizens, their allies, and the world, and that armies at war, including the U.S. army, sometimes commit terrible crimes.

Edward Snowden, on the other hand, has exposed something that even experienced observers did NOT take for granted: that the U.S. government has created a massive apparatus for discovering everybody else’s secrets. Under the cover of the “war on terror,” it has been secretly trawling the telecommunications networks of the whole world for information not just on terrorism, but on any other subject that affects its interests.

Never mind the hypocrisy of this. (American secrets are sacred, but the United States has the right to know everybody else’s.) It’s the sheer scale and brazen arrogance of the operation that are so stunning. Exhibit A is the PRISM program, whose very existence was a secret until Snowden spilled the beans early last month.

This program, run by the National Security Agency, began in 2007. It collects data from all nine major American Internet giants: Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Google, Skype, Yahoo, etc., and they are not allowed to reveal the fact that they are passing the data to the U.S. government.

In the first instance, it’s mostly traffic analysis: who is talking to whom? But if the traffic pattern sparks the NSA’s interest (or if the U.S. government wants to know the content of the messages for other reasons), then the spies can read the actual messages. And, as you would expect, PRISM didn’t just stay focused on “terrorism” for very long.

The NSA started using its new tools, and some older ones, to spy on foreign governments and companies, including those of America’s allies.

“We hack network backbones—like huge Internet routers, basically—that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers without having to hack every single one,” Snowden told the South China Morning Post in late June.

U.S. citizens resident in the United States are allegedly exempt from having their messages read without a court order (but the court is secret, too). Unless, of course, American citizens communicate with people living outside the U.S., in which case they are fair game.

Americans, on the whole, are remarkably untroubled by the NSA’s actions. Almost a million people work in the U.S. security industry, and most of those jobs would disappear if Americans did not believe that “terrorism” is the greatest threat facing their country. So the industry works very hard to sell them this fiction, and most of them accept it.

Foreigner governments, by contrast, are very angry. The countries targeted by the NSA included not just obvious candidates like China and Russia, but U.S. allies like France, Italy, Greece, Japan and South Korea.

The European Union’s embassy in Washington, its office at the United Nations, and even its headquarters in Brussels have been hacked. Latin American targets include not just Venezuela, but Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Brazil. (It’s those pesky Brazilian terrorists.)

French President Francois Hollande responded to Snowden’s revelations by demanding that the spying “stops at the earliest possible date—that is to say immediately.” Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said that the NSA’s actions, if proven, would represent “violations of sovereignty and human rights.”

But foreign protests will not force a shut-down of the PRISM programme. At most, it will be renamed and re-hidden.

The U.S. government gains major advantages by knowing everybody else’s secrets, and the million people in the “security community” are a huge domestic lobby.

Manning and Snowden have done the world a service by exposing the U.S. government’s illicit actions past and present, but Manning’s future is probably life imprisonment, Snowden’s a life in exile (if he’s lucky). No good deed goes unpunished.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The real cost of nuclear: addendum

Dear Editor, I have to correct the estimated $1.5 billion a year cost of Sellafield cleanup costs in the UK, which according to the National Audit Office has ballooned another 900 million pounds. In 2008 the authority brought in a consortium of companies to hire other experts etc. This is like handing the keys to the liquor store to a bunch of drunks, with instructions to gather their friends to help clean the place out. The authority does plan to clean up the site over the next 108 years! No you can’t make this up. Margaret Hodge, who chairs the Parliament’s public accounts committee said, “My concern is that unless the authority holds Sellafield Limited to a clear and rigorously benchmarked plan, timetables will continue to slip and cost spiral.”

Over to Fukushima where levels of cancer causing caesium 134 and 137 in the ground water had rapidly increased to 90 times and 86 times higher than a week ago. The operator does not know where the leak is coming from. The levels are

now at 160 and 200 times the allowable limit respectively.

Strontium 90 is also at 30 times the permitted rate. Levels in the seawater of tritium near the plant were at a record high of 2.300 becquerels per litre.

Back home to New Brunswick where the single reactor at Point Lepreau is being refurbished. Costs for the Candu 6 overhaul were to have been no more than $1 billion; they are now expected to reach $3.5 billion. Part of the huge costs are due to paying a full staff of highly trained engineers who would normally operate the plant for the three years time overrun.

The fear is that if these people were laid off they might not be available when needed. Power to replace the lost production had to be bought from out of province during this time. Apparently numerous “unexpected” problems were encountered requiring hundreds of specialized experts, which also swelled the bill.

Quebec had the good sense to mothball its sole nuclear plant, rather than play the money pit game.

Hot days are great for griping

By Terry Bush EMC Editorial - No doubt about it, summer is here.

Up until this week, I really didn’t have much to gripe about and that really isn’t all that conducive to doing an editorial. The temperature was nice.

There was plenty of rain for the new lawn and even the area consisting of mostly weeds came through with the help of a little fertilizer and seed.

But this week is different. It’s easy to see why citizens of the Middle East and steamy hot countries in general always seem to be a little irritated. I’m starting to feel that way myself. So, without any particular ranking, here are a few things that been simmering on the back burner but it’s too warm today to actually flesh them out.

While touring to Bancroft on the weekend, we encountered quite a few motorcycle enthusiasts travelling in large groups. While, I’ve never really seen the allure of riding in a group of 10 to 20 people, I can understand why it might be appealing to some especially the cruiser types who don’t vary their speed much and just like to get out and enjoy some scenery. It’s also pretty obvious that a whole new generation of enthusiasts is on the road and many would be considered in the 50+ range. Good for them.

What I don’t understand is the perception by many new and experienced bikers that all the motorcycles in their riding group are somehow attached to each other. They aren’t.

While travelling down the main drag of Bancroft, a biker pulled out of the Tim Hortons right in front of us causing me to hit the brakes. What we couldn’t understand was the rest of the crew thought they could do the same. We hit the brakes again as a couple more followed the first bike out without a care in the world. There was no rope connecting them together.

While all their lights may have been on, we didn’t see a hearse in the drivethrough so we knew it wasn’t a funeral procession. So what gives?

I’ve seen the same thing at four-way stops. Some bikes pull up, the first bike goes through the stop and as you attempt to take your turn, all the other bikes run the stop sign behind the first bike as if they are one unit. Note to bikers from a fellow biker. Jumping the queue could be hazardous to your health. A motorcycle is one vehicle and any way you cut it, even if your group has 18 wheels on the pavement, you’re still not considered a tractor trailer.

A couple of real estate agents have also gotten my goat lately with false advertising. Have you ever been searching for a little piece of vacant land with some water on it and found exactly what you’ve been looking for on the Internet. Twice in the past three months, I’ve found what looked like a sure thing. I contacted the agents, got the directions and in one case asked the agent point blank if the photo she had with the listing was taken on the actual property. My lack of trust was showing but she assured me it was.

On that occasion, I drove 45 minutes ending up close to where the alleged beautiful piece of property was and bushwhacked an hour into it only to find that the photo was taken probably 300 metres up the lake on a different lot. The advertised lot? You couldn’t even see the lake from it, the 50 metres of swamp vegetation was so thick.

In the second case, after driving over half an hour and feeding the deerflies for approximately the same amount of time, the lot that offered swimming, canoeing and fishing turned out to have a trickle of water in front of it as the creek had split in two at the lot north of it where the actual photo had been taken. What’s a guy to do? Well, this guy will never use either of those agents again.

And my last bit of griping has to do with Kijiji etiquette. Is it too much to ask people to actually take down their ads if they’ve sold their item. While looking for a canoe last week because of the upcoming family reunion scheduled later this month at our place, I was amazed at the number of people who think their job is finished when their canoe was sold. I emailed one person a couple of times and mentioned that maybe it might be a good idea to stop wasting people’s time. The ad is still up there.

Another person didn’t bother responding to my inquiry for five days.

Two hours after I’d purchased a canoe, they got back to me. They’d been away. Who posts an ad and then leaves town?

I’m getting a stiff neck from shaking my head so much. Time to hit the air conditioning and mellow out.

“The high rejection rate of the small FIT 2.1 procurement process has created significant concern in the Ontario renewable energy sector pertaining to the overall effectiveness of the procurement methods the OPA deployed,” said Owen.

“The OPA has given their commitment to provide specific details to each applicant regarding why each application was rejected,” he said.

The OPA will also host a series of “webinars to gain industry perspective on how to improve their FIT procurement methods [as it moves forward],” Owen said.

“Peterborough PUI is disappointed with the rejection [but] remains optimistic that upcoming submissions in the fall will result in more favourable outcomes,” he said.

“The OPA has indicated that this upcoming small FIT window will emphasize priority on municipalbased projects with more details to be announced this summer.”

Owen noted that two leading solar organizations continue to lobby the provincial government to implement a “five-day cure period” for recently rejected applications.

“The ministry has given no indication that it will be directing the OPA to implement a cure period.”

If there is a cure period, Owen says PUI will be in touch with both Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Asphodel-Norwood to update documents so it can resubmit the applications.

If that doesn’t happen the PUI will have to follow a number of steps as it prepares for a new application for the fall, 2013 submission “window.”

EMC News - Havelock - The oneroom schoolhouse was one of the defining symbols of rural Ontario for a large part of the 20th century and the story of Grace Morton’s remarkable teaching career charts a journey that’s both inspirational and touching.

She was an “inspirational woman,” says her daughter Millie who has written a biography that illuminates her mother’s rich and varied 101-yearlong life, one that was grounded by her passion for teaching through six decades.

Millie, who grew up on a farm near Stirling and went to elementary school at the one-room school in Wellmans Corners where her mother also taught, was at the Havelock Public Library to talk about the book and her mother who began her teaching career in 1926 at Victoria School in Belmont Township.

Millie will also be part of the firstever County Day at Lang Pioneer Village where she’ll speak on the village common as a guest of the AsphodelNorwood Historical Society. Grace’s second teaching assignment in 1928 was at Donegal in Asphodel, near where she had grown up before her farming family moved to the Colborne area.

“I think it’s interesting to remember that Ontario has changed a whole lot,” the Kingston resident told the Trent Hills Independent. “This book intends to remind you where we’ve come from.”

“It was a labour of love that I very much enjoyed. It’s the story of Grace.”

A sociologist by training, Millie says the writing was like nothing she’d ever done. It had its genesis when she moved to Kingston.

“Most of my adult life I lived away from my family. In the early 2000s to within an hour of mom who was in a retirement home in Belleville. I just asked her one day, ‘I would really like to write the stories you told us growing up because life is so different now.’”

The “initial intention” was to write stories for her family but after her mother’s death in 2008 at the age of 101 she realized how much her mother was loved outside of her own family.

“I had written some of it but felt uncomfortable; I didn’t know what I was going to do with it.”

But with the response following Grace’s death, Millie “realized that [she] really wanted to share.”

Those two Asphodel projects would generate a total 350 kilowatts and produce $21,644 a year for the municipality; over 20 years the township would realize $433,280, $310,860 of that from electricity produced by 1,288 panels on the 29,500-square-foot community centre.

In HBM, 1,036 panels would be installed on the arena rooftop and generate 238 kilowatts of electricity a year producing an average of $11,394 a year or a net pre-tax income of $227,876 over the 20-year contract for the township.

The HBM proposal would cost PUI $833,000; in Norwood the investment would be $1,453,830.

The three projects would generate a pre-tax net, 20-year income of $1,378,000 for Peterborough PUI.

ergy, were rejected,” Peterborough Utilities says.

“Although the OPA’s reasons for rejection have not been clearly specified, it would appear the OPA has leveraged their own interpretation of FIT 2.1 rules to constrain the number of generation contracts awarded in order to meet their own intended procurement target of 200 MW new contracted capacity,” Michael Owen, director of procurement and risk management for PUI, explained in a letter to both municipalities.

Owen says the Ministry of Energy has indicated they will “direct the OPA to procure another 70 MW small FIT (Feed-in Tariff) application window in the fall of 2013.”

Peterborough Utilities will be going after some of that capacity with their rooftop solar applications, he said.

It took five years and included interviews with some of Grace’s students and research “to add the history part.”

It was a life-affirming experience and one she hopes encourages others to sit down with their elders and record their stories.

“I hope it will inspire others to write what they know or have someone else write it down for them. Ask questions.

When you just tell a story you don’t get enough information to really understand everything. I had to ask lots of questions to my mom.”

Grace also taught in

Mount Pleasant and Stirling where she retired in 1972 but was soon supply teaching in places like Marmora and Campbellford. She also tutored.

“She knew this area well and kept in touch with people in Havelock even after moving to Donegal and Wellman’s. I wanted to cover her whole life because after you retire you can have a new life, do new things.”

“It wasn’t all difficult in those days when there were no cell phones or computers.

You had to have conversations with people; you had to get along; people apologized.”

Island Park residents petition government

EMC News - Campbellford - A petition launched by residents of Island Park Retirement Community expressing concern over the move by the provincial government to “expand access to care for seniors,” has resulted in 117 signatures. Jean Taylor, 84, and Bernice Phillips, 92, initiated the petition

which has been sent to the Legislative Assembly offices in Toronto.

“We heard that the physio would be cut down so I went to Jane [Crane, general manager] and I said, ‘Is there anything we as residents could do to try to keep it because it means so much to us,’” Taylor told the Trent Hills Independent.

Jean Taylor, left, and Bernice Phillips, residents of Island Park Retirement Community, initiated a petition which has been signed by residents, family and friends expressing concern that recent changes in physiotherapy funding put forward by the government will result in a reduction in the service.

She and Phillips have been living at Island Park for the past several years and both make use of the physiotherapy sessions offered there.

The petition has been signed by residents of Island Park, family and friends.

The petition states, “I am concerned that recent changes in physiotherapy funding announced by the province will result in a reduction in the service that I am receiving at Island Park in Campbellford. As a resident I have enjoyed having access to a physiotherapist on site.”

The Ministry of Health and LongTerm care stated in a press release last April that beginning August 1 more one-on-one physiotherapy, group exercise classes and falls prevention services will be available in long-termcare homes and in communities across Ontario.

Concern developed that the service now available at retirement homes, long-term-care and nursing homes might not continue and if it did it would be at a reduced number of hours and no longer one-on-one.

“Physiotherapy and the exercise program are vital programs that help keep the person well and in their homes as long as possible,” commented Crane.

Island Park also provides respite care which means access to the physio-

No surprises in taxi survey

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Havelock - There is no “real need” for an accessible “on-demand” taxi van in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, a municipal-wide survey indicates.

The seven-question survey was part of a public consultation that’s required under the provincial government’s 2005 Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and was available at the municipal office, online, at public library branches in the township, the medical centre and in the newspaper.

There was also a public meeting in late spring which included the owner of Deal Taxi, the only taxi service in the township who provided comments on the issue.

Deal Taxi has two min-van taxis in its fleet.

“There is no onus on a municipality to finance any of this; this is just for information,” said planning assistant Andrea Loyst.

“The purpose of the consulta-

NEW SchEDulE bEgiNS mAY 27Th

tion was not to compel the taxi cab company to add any new vehicles to their fleet,” said Loyst.

Instead it was to give the owner an indication of the need, if any, for accessible taxicabs for Havelock-Belmont-Methuen.”

The consultation, she added, was also to “help us in updating our multi-year accessibility plan and policies and dealing with its progress in 2013.”

There wasn’t a lot of feedback with the survey, Loyst admitted, with three completed online and two submitted online.

Loyst noted that during the open house the owners of Deal Taxi told council they had not had any specific requests for an on-demand accessible taxi. The company does provide service for people in wheel chairs who can stand up and get into a seat.

“We’ve had no problem that way,” said Jim Howson Sr. during the earlier public meeting.

“I can’t see putting one of

these cars on the road at this time,” Howson added. He estimated the cost of a fully accessible on-demand taxi at $50,000.

“I imagine that in our multiyear plan we may revisit this down the road; at this point it appears that it is not something that the township is requesting,” said Loyst.

“In the rural sector the demand is completely different from the demand in the city,” Mayor Ron Gerow said at the public meeting in March. “We’re doing our due diligence here.

“I’m not aware of any issue [in HBM] in terms of transport for people with accessibility issues, Community Care is here and family members, quite honestly, take care of those sorts of things, especially in rural areas,” Gerow said.

“It’s great if the demand is there and is a viable part of the business. I don’t think it is here [yet].”

therapy services on site.

“Are we willing to open it to the community? By all means. If we’re running it we want the best model possible.”

Both Taylor and Phillips agree that physiotherapy services play an important role in keeping them well and independent.

“We don’t want the physiotherapy to be cut,” said Phillips.

Community Care Northumberland has been given the task of implementing the programs.

“Are we willing to open it to the community? By all means. If we’re running it we want the best model possible,” noted Crane.

In a recent update since the interview, Crane told the Trent Hills Independent, “We will be getting the physio etc. Only time will tell how good the replacement system is going to be as they don’t have it all worked out.”

East Local Health Integration Network (CE LHIN) regarding providing exercise and falls prevention classes.

The CE LHIN is part of the new funding model.

According to the ministry, “By directly funding vital services such as physiotherapy, and exercise and falls prevention classes, Ontario is able to improve the availability of these services across the province and significantly boost access for seniors and others in need.”

Crane said, “The exercise class they are proposing I felt was unsafe. They are asking for 35 people in a class and a oneperson instructor.”

She added, “The biggest concern is they are splitting the physio one-to-one component with the falls prevention exercise.”

Municipality works on plan EMC News - Norwood - AsphodelNorwood will roll out a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) in 2014 to help downtown property owners maintain and enhance commercial building facades and in turn beautify the village of Norwood’s core.

A “thought-provoking” draft plan has been completed by staff with input from councillors and clerk Becky Bonisteel presented that draft to council last week.

The “idea,” says Bonisteel, is that in 2014 the municipality will have $20,000 dedicated in its budget from which it will provide interest-free loans “capped” at a maximum of $5,000. The loans would be repaid over a five year period; the work must be completed within six months of the property owner receiving the loan.

The CIP’s goals include providing incentives for commercial property owners to enhance their building’s appearance by reconstruction and/or rehabilitation, revitalizing commercial activities, stimulating pride in the downtown area, promoting sustainable development including energy efficiency and improving handicapped accessibility to buildings.

Community Improvement Plans have been used effectively and creatively in other municipalities, Bonisteel noted.

Both the township’s official plan and Peterborough County official plan permit the creation of a designated community improvement area, in this case the Highway #7 and county road downtown corridor in Norwood.

“I like the idea,” said Councillor Mary Hay. It will generate “good opportunities” for property owners, she said.

Hay did add that she’d like to see a little more clarity in defining the goals of the CIP; she felt there was some blurring between the main objective of façade enhancement and rehabilitation

and the goals of energy efficiency and accessibility improvements. “[if] the application only applies to façade improvement why do we have four and five [sustainable development and improved accessibility]?” she asked. “It needs to be clear that four and five are covered.

“It didn’t compute for me [when I read the list],” Hay said.

CAO Joe van Koeverden explained that something like reconstruction of a doorway to make a building more energy efficient dovetails with façade improvement; likewise, making an entrance more accessible could also help improve the façade of a structure.

“It could be part of the façade agreement,” van Koeverden said.

Councillor Roy Millett wondered if the maximum individual loan should be capped at $5,000.

“I don’t think it should be just four, $5,000 loans,” he said. “Maybe it could be two $10,000 loans.”

Millett also thought confining the CIP area to the downtown core was too restrictive but Bonisteel pointed out that the municipality’s official plan governs where a designated CIP area can be.

“The idea of the $5,000 is to spread it around,” van Koeverden explained.

Hay likened the loan to “seed money” which a property owner might be able to leverage into a larger sum through a traditional bank loan. “[It is] incentive money as opposed to the township is going to pay for it, because we’re not going to pay for it,” she said. “We’re just lending and forgoing interest.”

With $20,000 allocated annually in municipal budgets Hay said the CIP fund will be “perpetual.

“It’s thought-provoking,” Deputymayor Joe Crowley said, encouraging staff to bring back more information “as we go along.”

“It’s a budgetary issue for next year.”

Eight-week-old feral kitten rescued EMC News - Campbellford - Volunteer firefighter Jeff Stapley can now add the title of “cat whisperer” to his list of credentials.

The proverbial cat in the tree rescue, but with a twist, became a mission for this trained firefighter who joined the Trent Hills department a little less than a year ago.

The cat that needed rescuing was an eight-week-old feral kitten discovered

by Dave Hutley, who was out walking in his neighbourhood one night last week around 8 p.m.

Hearing plaintiff meows from inside a drain at the corner of First and Elmore streets, he quickly realized there was a kitten in the storm drain below.

Enlisting the help of firefighter Fred Rowe, who also lives nearby, Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake, who also lives nearby, was called to the scene as well as several other would-be rescuers.

Teens walked by wondering what was happening but were asked to “leave the scene” to let the rescuers do what they do best and plan the rescue.

It was decided that someone had to climb into the storm strain and rescue the kitten.

Easier said than done.

This was a feral kitten.

And so a ladder was placed in the storm drain and Hutley offered to climb down and see if he could grab the feline.

This writer, who also lives in the neighbourhood, brought cat food from home to

lure the kitten.

After half an hour on the ladder with a flashlight, the kitten came to eat, but as soon as she saw Huntley reach for her, she fled into the darkness of the underground pipe.

This happened several times and eventually Hutley, who is very tall and was in a very small space, had to extricate himself.

Backup was called in and that’s when firefighter Stapley, donned a wetsuit and took up the challenge.

The decision was made to remove the ladder and leave Stapley standing knee deep in the water at the bottom of the storm drain in the hopes of getting a better vantage point.

Turning off his flashlight he waited … and waited … and waited.

While everyone above ground

held their breath and directed the occasional vehicle away from the open manhole, he coaxed, cajoled and “whispered” to the feral kitten as he tried to gain its trust.

“She didn’t like the light but she liked the food,” said Stapley later.

“It took a while.”

Actually it took more than an hour for him to finally get the kitten close enough so he could grab her.

“She was scared at first … but she got warmed up to me,” he told the Trent Hills Independent.

He considered the rescue to be “all part of my job as a firefighter.”

Perhaps his kinship with the feral kitten comes from having two family cats at home.

“If our cats were stuck down there I would like to think someone

would do the same thing for us.”

To make what has turned out to be a long story, short, this writer, who also has cats of her own, took the kitten to English Line Veterinary Services where they “defleaed,” dewormed and bathed her.

She is now in the care (foster care) of this writer who hopes someone will want to give this rescued kitten, that has used up more than one of its nine lives, a permanent home.

This very scared but very cute feral kitten needs a permanent home. Trent Hills volunteer firefighter Jeff Stapley has earned the nickname “cat whisperer” for his role in rescuing the kitten from inside a storm drain underneath Elmore and First streets. It needs someone special to adopt and socialize her. Photo: Sue

EMC News - Warkworth - For sale: one fire hall, well-used.

Trent Hills no longer needs the one in Warkworth that was built in 1926. Originally located in the downtown, it was moved several years ago to a temporary spot on the north side of the fire station on Old Hastings Road.

It was then moved to the south side and the plan was to situate it close to Mill Creek but Lower Trent Conservation would not give its approval.

In a report to council, Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake said an alternative location on the property “would obstruct parking for those with disabilities” who use the seniors building attached to the station so he presented council with three options: demolish it, relocate permanently off-site, or sell it.

It was initially thought that the old hall be moved to the Percy depot on Norham, at a cost of $6,000, and use it to store old fire equipment.

Although the hall “has some historical significance,” Blake noted, it is not a designated heritage building, and he said the $6,000, as well as “the annual costs possibly incurred” for its maintenance “could be utilized on other more pressing projects.”

Council opted to put the structure up for sale to the highest bidder with the buyer to be responsible for moving it off-site.

Councillor Meirion Jones suggested approaching the Warkworth Community Service Club because they might have an interest in buying “a piece of the history of Warkworth.”

New wellness expo a shot in the arm for Campbellford fair

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - The continued good health of the Campbellford Fair is receiving a shot in the arm with a new addition to the events being planned this year, a wellness expo.

A first for this fair, a first for fair-goers it is also a first for organizer Jane Fry. “The whole idea is to offer the community and those who come to the fair some more information about who is out there, and what services are available whether it be for physiotherapy or energy work, massage therapy, for pets or about finances,” said Fry. The owner of Beauty Watch, she knows what wellness is about.

The modalities at her downtown business include esthetic services, manicures, pedicures, gel nails, waxing, facials, hot stone relaxation massages, reiki, reflexology, laser hair removal and more.

“This is my first time involved with the fair,” she told the Trent Hills Independent.

“The fair board was looking for something new and so when I was approached to organize this, it seemed like

a perfect fit.”

“The goal,” she added, is “to draw in a different crowd … to get a mix of people at the fair.”

As well, “Those who come to the wellness expo may learn more about our agricultural community.”

For Fry it is a win-win for the fair and for the community.

And she is no stranger to the rural way of life.

“I live on a 100-acre farm. My grandfather and father farmed it and my brother farmed it for a few years and now it’s leased to my uncle,” she noted.

“We always had chores to do on the farm and I always helped with haying,” she added with a grin.

On the day of the interview Fry still had openings available for vendors.

“We could use four or five more. We are looking for 20 in total,” she said.

Each vendor pays $50 plus provides a door prize.

Vendors from Trent Hills and the surrounding area are invited to be part of this new three-day event.

The wellness expo is being held on both floors of the Red Barn on the fair-

grounds.

“We will have guest speakers including Jill Detlor who will talk about allergies on Saturday at 1 p.m. She is from Stirling,” said Fry. Detlor is a Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner and a Registered Bio-Energetics Practitioner which is used to help clients recognize stressors such as food and environmental intolerances.

Dr. Joe Barbero who is with the Trent Hills Family Health Team (THFHT) will be a guest speaker on Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

“On Sunday at 1 p.m. we have the Drum Nation from Madoc,” said Fry. “They will hold a drum gathering circle and people are welcome to bring their drums and participate.”

As well on Sunday at 2 p.m. Jaye Yarrin, a nutritionist from Brighton, will be a featured guest speaker.

There will also be an “earthing plot … so people can walk around in their bare feet and it helps to ground you and it also stimulates reflexes on the bottom of the feet.”

Information will be posted next to the

New studio promotes health and wellness, including yoga

By Sue Dickens

EMC Business - Campbellford - A new studio just outside Campbellford has opened its doors to provide a variety of modalities that are intended to bring balance and relaxation to day-to-day living.

Evolution Yoga and Wellness is a facility which promotes health through yoga, meditation, Qigong, relaxation techniques and a variety of therapeutic touch modalities, explains owner

Helene Bucek.

Originally from Toronto, a graduate of Durham College in 1988, she worked at Oshawa General Hospital. Her career as a Registered Nurse has taken her as far away as the Yukon. She settled in Campbellford in 2006 to make Trent Hills her home.

“I started taking yoga at age 19 due to illness and it was the yoga that brought me to a place of health,” she told the Trent Hills Independent.

Campbellford Waterfront Festival

Bucek taught yoga in the 1970s and 1980s before becoming a nurse.

“I even taught yoga in hospital to patients,” she noted.

For her the move to Campbellford brought with it the inspiration to open a studio.

“This house lent itself well to become a yoga studio and centre,” she commented.

She studied under Kahuna Harry Uhane Jim and became a certified lomi lomi (Hawaiian for massage) instructor, just one of the modalities offered at her centre.

“It’s a hands-on energy treatment where you utilize certain breathing techniques. You create space in the body. The idea is you allow people to release trauma being held in their body,” she explained.

Yoga dance, chair yoga, energy treatments, shiatsu, reiki, and bars/access are all part of the regimen she offers.

Two yoga teachers from Campbellford, Kathleen Herrold and Lori McNally, use her studio on Mondays for sessions.

Others who are part of the studio scene include Janice Gannon, longtime practitioner of shiatsu, Sherry Ashcroft who uses Qigong, an ancient Chinese healing practice that integrates physical postures and breathing techniques.

Raven Begin does reiki and lomi lomi and bars/access.

Gwen Phillips does yoga dance and Thai massage.

Vikki Langelier conducts a Zen meditation circle every Wednesday.

And last but not least, her sister Sylvia, does Tarot card readings.

“Evolution Yoga and Wellness is blessed with wonderful local teachers and facilitators offering their knowledge, expertise and generous spirit.

They also bring a sense of joy and fun which needs to be part of our human experience,” states Bucek, who brings 12 years of Yoga teaching experience and 40 years of personal Yoga practice to the studio.

“Some people are so run off their feet with their children so just for the summer they can come to any class they want to from Tuesday to Saturday,” she noted.

For Bucek it is about offering modalities people can choose from to better the health and wellness of their lives.

“I think I put this package together because it is what I actually believe in,” she said.

“All these other modalities, they are a wonderful ways for people to be in touch with themselves and each other and work through issues to truly improve their lives,” she added.

She sees it as an augmentation of traditional western medicine in which, “People can help themselves as well as going to see their doctor.”

And it is affordable, she noted.

For example yoga classes cost $10 to $12 each. The facility is located at 1041 County Road 38, Campbellford.

“Without a pharmacy in walking distance, [it was] an incomplete picture,” he said. “We thought that we could step in and complete this picture [with] a setup to complement a clinic and hospital.”

Choosing Campbellford as the location for their first business was “a bit complicated,” Abouelnile said, and “I can’t deny luck played a big role” in “getting the chance to be here at the right moment.”

Canada offers many opportunities for businesses but “it doesn’t mean it’s easy to find them,” he said. It takes “a lot of thinking and a lot of hard work to spot one and to get it working. It takes time … we’re just hopeful it pays

off. Of course, there is a risk but we’re confident what we’re going to offer people will probably like.”

The partners designed the pharmacy, on the ground floor where Curves used to be, and its services based on research they had done.

They’ve included a private counselling area.

“We heard from some people that it was a concern when they want to discuss something in private with the pharmacist that they do not have such privacy,” Abouelnile said.

There’s also a large screen TV for customers to watch to be entertained or educated about medical matters while waiting for a prescription to be filled.

Trent Hills Pharmacy is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to midafternoon on the weekend.

EMC News - Campbellford - Chad Buchner, acting manager of canal operations for Parks Canada, said the federal agency is “working very closely” with its frontline staff to figure out ways to improve services after being “hit with a pretty big reduction” in its budget.

“The primary concern” among boaters has been the waterway’s hours of operation, he said.

There’s also been “a little bit” of feedback about the use of mobile crews in the southern area, between Campbellford and Trenton, but “it’s not quite as loud” as what it’s been getting farther north.

“There is an impact [but] it hasn’t been as drastic as it has been in the other areas,” he said. “The wait times haven’t been that bad, to be honest.”

Extra resources in the form of student support have been added to facilitate lock operations, so no crew is responsible for more than two locks, and “they find it’s improving services a little bit,” Buchner said.

Northumberland-Quinte West MP Rick Norlock said something had to be done to trim the waterway’s deficit.

“It can’t be business as usual when you’re losing money hand over fist, you have to do something,” he said.

“Nobody has called to say you did good or you did bad,” with the

exception of Quinte West Mayor John Williams who, overall, “was pleased … more positive than negative” with the changes Parks Canada ultimately made in response to comments it received.

After the initial furor over the proposed changes, “it pretty well died down,” he said. “Generally speaking, things are pretty quiet on that front.”

Parks Canada originally proposed raising lockage fees by a significant amount beginning next year but backed down in the face of widespread public backlash, choosing instead to keep them frozen at their 2008 level for another three years.

“We should be paying more,” said Ken Braithwaite, who’s been travelling the waterway for 40 years. “I don’t think we’re paying enough.”

Sherri Rocheleau offered the same view about higher fees.

People would be willing to pay more “to make sure everything was the way it was … [when it ran] nice and smooth,” she said.

Braithwaite also believes every water craft on the Trent-Severn system, from jet ski to fishing boat, should be charged a licensing fee, even if they never have to use a lock, to help sustain the waterway.

Or establish a Parks Canada lottery, he added. “They’ve got them for everything else.”

Beloved local history book reprinted

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Hastings - “This is almost the Bible of Hastings,” Tony Tuit says as leafed through a copy of the freshly reprinted Birth of a Village.

Wilfred Lynch’s iconic 163-page history of Hastings and its earliest days as rough and ready Crook’s Rapids has been lovingly reprinted by the Hastings Historical Society keeping everything exactly as it was in 1986 when the book was originally published.

“It’s as close to the original as possible,” said Tuit, a former HHS president who sold the first copy of the new book Saturday morning at the Hastings Village Market.

“We’re very pleased with how it’s turned out,” he said.

So faithful was the project committee that they did not correct a few of the typographical errors that crept into the original text. The only change was the use of a thicker paper; the cover and binding are exactly as the original.

“It is a beloved book and there are a few spelling mistakes that we didn’t correct,” says Tuit.

Not only is it well-loved, a first edition copy of Birth of a Village is a very rare commodity. The Hastings Library no longer has copies and the Historical Society has lost its copy.

“Everybody has said they’ve lost theirs and now we have these new copies,” Tuit said. “We’re [the HHS] often asked about it.”

Tuit says the reprinting project has been three years in the making and has the blessing of the Lynch family; when Lynch was alive the Society talked to him about the possibility of a new edition.

Tuit believes Lynch would be proud and happy to know his book is now available to a new generation of local history buffs.

“This was a man who was born

here and spent his life here sitting down to write about every piece of local history he knew. It’s almost a biography of Hastings. It has taken 27 years to reprint.”

And with the loss of irreplaceable town records in the town hall fire of 1989, Tuit says the Lynch book remains a valuable resource.

“This book explains a lot. There are excerpts on people who lived here and the way people lived in the past.”

The book ends in 1966 and Tuit would like to see the subsequent 48 years fleshed out.

Asked about other possible projects, Tuit says he’d be keen to see the poems of “Big Al Scriver” republished.

“That’s another history of Hastings in those poems,” he said of the 120 or so poems written by one of the village’s most colourful citizens.

“Al’s poems tell a story. So many people who were around at the time are mentioned.”

Reprints of Birth of a Village are $20 each and are available from the Hastings Historical Society.

Collective Kitchen will return to Civic Centre (Left) The free Collective Kitchen program at the Hastings Civic Centre was an unqualified success this past year and will return in the fall.

serve them immediately or freeze and store them.

The Collective Kitchen experience is also very social, Stuckless adds.

“They enjoy coming for that reason too. They have heard about other things going on in the community and they get invited out to other opportunities as well. It’s comfortable and everyone gets along.”

Participants also learn about food safety, Stuckless added.

Stuckless is looking forward to September and says there is always the possibility of adding a third group.

“Right now we have enough folks but it’s not too many to have the two groups.”

She adds that the Hastings Civic Centre has an “absolutely perfect facility” which is offered at no cost by the Centre’s advisory committee.

“So it’s a perfect opportunity for people in the community to get together.”

The Early Years Centre provides childcare for parents while they take part in the program and Community Care Hastings has allowed the group to use their freezer for storage.

“It’s a good partnership,” Early Years supervisor Angie Nestoruk agreed.

“Everyone has enjoyed themselves and made new friends.

“It’s a Trent Hills success,” Nestoruk said noting that there are now three active Collective Kitchen programs in the municipality.

EMC News - Hastings - The Collective Kitchen program at the Hastings Civic Centre made its mark this year and will return in the fall.

“It’s been beyond our expectations.

It’s been wonderful,” Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit who ran the program, told the Trent Hills Independent as a group wrapped up their session by preparing a special lunch for the Hastings Ontario Early Years Centre.

Stuckless says the free program has gone so well that they had to “breakout” into a second group: one group was made up of parents with kids and the other of adults without children.

“It has gone fantastically,” she said.

“A lot of that is because of the Early Years Centre [upstairs]. They’ve been very instrumental in getting people from the community involved.”

Simple meal planning is central to what Stuckless and cooking participants strive for.

“We try to create meals that are kidfriendly but still healthy and at the same time we try to do a few other things with the adults without kids group,” Stuckless said.

And always the meals are “affordable, accessible and easy to put together.”

Many of the food items come from Food 4 All in Cobourg.

Participants are able to take home their finished recipes where they can

EMC News - Norwood - Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing unlucky about the number 13 for the Asphodel-Norwood Beautification Committee.

The seven-member committee was â&#x20AC;&#x153;totally surprisedâ&#x20AC;? when their name was announced during the presentation of the prestigious Jack and Marguerite Stewart Community Recognition Award.

It was the thirteenth award handed out and the hardworking Beautification Committee joins a distinguished list of winners, individuals as well as groups and organizations, which includes international chart-topping rock, band Three Days Grace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really surprised, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to be recognized,â&#x20AC;? committee member Jennifer Holden told the Trent Hills Independent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We find people are really noticing what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing in town.â&#x20AC;?

The committee was lauded for its â&#x20AC;&#x153;diligentâ&#x20AC;? efforts to raise funds to beautify the township in and around Norwood through its tree-planting program, flower gardens, garbage receptacles and its support of community projects like the Let Them Be Kids playground campaign.

Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy said the committee has encouraged people to plant trees and local businesses to place hanging baskets outside their stores.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slowly but surely the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts are improving the town,â&#x20AC;? Pearcy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council has really got behind us,â&#x20AC;? said Holden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel as though [our efforts] are worthwhile. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still hard work and we need more members to participate. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our biggest challenge right now, getting new people involved.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m totally surprised and very honoured,â&#x20AC;? co-chair Doreen Allen Bell added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the honour is receiving it from Mr. Stewart. You actually receive the award from him which is nice,â&#x20AC;? she said.

She says an award like this will raise the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s profile a little bit more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This way more people know about us and what we do [and] they do see the work.â&#x20AC;?

and then use their own produce. There is the potential to teach people about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;whole cycleâ&#x20AC;?: greenhouse, garden, harvest, preparing, preserving etc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity there in the interest of looking at house the high school could be better utilized,â&#x20AC;? says Asphodel-Norwood CAO Joe van Koeverden who participates in the local Nourish Project meetings.

He says it could be tied into â&#x20AC;&#x153;uniqueâ&#x20AC;? programming that could combine things like combines gardening, nutrition and food preparation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think some people thought it was too big of an idea [but] youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a big problem there [with enrollment] so you need big ideas to get more people into the school.

where we can all come together to gain a strong sense of belonging through growing, cooking, eating and enjoying food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, Nourish seeks to help build a new local food system that is accessible, equitable and sustainable,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nourish cultivates health, food, community and the economy by weaving an innovative and unique web which places access to healthy food at the core of its work. Nourish is firmly rooted in the long tradition of community food initiatives for which our region is well known.â&#x20AC;?

NDHS principal Mary Lou Steinmann is â&#x20AC;&#x153;very supportive of potential use of the school for foodrelated activities,â&#x20AC;? says the Norwood Nourish group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greenhouse could be shared with the community [and] there is lots of land for a community garden.â&#x20AC;?

There is grow light equipment available at the school that could also be utilized for hydroponics.

A â&#x20AC;&#x153;joint-use agreementâ&#x20AC;? would have to be established between the public school board and a local community organization, the group says.

The existing community garden at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church â&#x20AC;&#x153;is ready to moveâ&#x20AC;? to the high school if given the okay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many potential models for a garden,â&#x20AC;? says the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students could do community volunteer houses during the summer.â&#x20AC;?

The garden could supplement the local food bank and Good Food Box users could become growers

EMC News - Norwood - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still very much at the exploratory and discovery stage, but a proposal that could see the Norwood District High School greenhouse and property at the school used for a family friendly community garden is very much alive.

Equally tantalizing, but perhaps much more involved, would be utilizing the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitality program kitchen for after-school community uses.

These are some of the suggestions that have flowed from the Peterborough-wide Nourish Project which has held meetings in Norwood and Havelock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nourish is part of a broad movement which seeks to give food more importance in our lives, our cultures and our overall economy,â&#x20AC;? says JoĂŤle Favreau on the Nourish web site.

Favreau, community development officer with the Peterborough Victoria and Haliburton YWCA, and Leni Rautiainen, also of the YWCA, have been part of the meetings in Norwood and see the potential of a partnership between the high school and the community to develop a food-related initiative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Nourish] seeks to feed our region through a dynamic combination of innovative infrastructure, new connections and strong partnerships,â&#x20AC;? says Favreau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ambitious project will be supporting the establishment of a closely knitted network of places for food throughout Peterborough County

James Gang meet Six Nations after sweep

HOME INSPECTIONS Tradesman ?... It Only Makes Sense.

By Bill Freeman

EMC Sports - Norwood - The Norwood James Gang will face Six Nations in the OLA Senior B semi-finals after sweeping Owen Sound in two straight BROOKFIELD REGISTERED games. Norwood polished off the North Stars 14 - 4 and 11 - 3 piling up ten powwww.tradesmanhi.com er play goals and handling some opening game nastiness with ease.

The River men (11-5-0) earned an opening round bye along with first-place St. Catharines and will be a tough bestof-five game test for Norwood as they try to get back to the Senior B finals for the first time since 2010.

Discount CHECK UP Norwood’s struggling power play (PARTS ONLY) exploded in the opener against Owen Sound with the North Stars obliging time LET PETE TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR VEHICLE NEEDS and again with undisciplined play and a 3 INDUSTRIAL DR., CAMPBELLFORD string of penalties. The James Gang’s (At the south end) power play was on the floor 22 times, cashing in five times in the third period which turned into an undisciplined mess with the visitors paying no attention to the Canadian Lacrosse Association’s no-fighting rule.

Owen Sound racked up 103 penalty minutes with Norwood, showing much more self-control, charged with 83 minutes.

The James Gang scored on their first shot on net with Chad Evans, on his way to a four-goal night, beating Owen Sound goalie Ryan Masters. Norwood built up a 5 - 2 first-period lead, then added three more in the second before bombarding the North Stars 7 - 1 in the third.

It was a complete team win, with 12 players featured in the scoring and goalie Cole Murray rock solid.

Josh Wasson-McQuigge led the team with two goals and four assists while Kyle Clancy added a goal and six helpers; Jason Mainer chipped in with five assists.

Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday by appointment!

Also scoring single goals were Zac McIlmoyle, Joel Wasson-McQuigge, Matt Evans, Mack O’Brien, Mike McNamara, Jeremy Crowder and Gavin Barrie.

Trent Hills Independent. “We’ve struggled with the power play and made some adjustments and it worked, they were hot.”

Norwood matched Owen Sound’s physical game and for the most part refused to be goaded into stupid penalties.

“We got caught up a little bit in their stuff,” Johnston admit-

ted.

“To win you’ve got to override that stuff; some learn some don’t.

We’re here to play and not fight; teams that fight don’t win and our power play made them pay.”

“Five on five there aren’t too many guys who can take shots on us,” he added.

New owner excited about Vipers’ season

EMC Sports - Norwood - Bob McCleery likes the look of the Norwood Viper blue and white and the mark they’ve made on Senior AAA hockey and he’s seen it first-hand as an executive with the Whitby Dunlops while the two teams developed one of the best rivalries in local hockey.

Now the retired businessman, relocated to the Warkworth area, gets to enjoy the rivalry from the Norwood side of the stands as the new owner of the Norwood Vipers, a deal that was finalized around three weeks ago and keeps the major sponsorship backing of J.J. Stewart Motors.

McCleery remembers the great 2005 league championship final between Norwood and Whitby with the Vipers coming out on top

in six games of thrilling hockey; he also remembers the memorable Dunlops loss in 2011 when Norwood scored three goals in 17 seconds during the final minute of their semi-final play-off series.

“I can remember those games,” McCleery told the Trent Hills Independent. “It’s an excellent calibre of hockey.”

“Being out this way, I still wanted to be involved with [senior hockey] and being in the area I thought this was a good mix,” he said.

“It’s good entertainment. I’ve been going to games steady for six years. I know all the different arenas, all the different coaches and players around the league so I’m not coming in blind. I think this is going to be an exciting year and I think it’s something the commu-

nity needs.”

“People I’ve talked to want to see senior hockey back in Norwood,” he said.

McCleery says a lot of the Vipers’ “core players,” including captain Steve Thomas, will be back. A number of Vipers played in Whitby last season with others suiting up for the Orillia Tundra.

“I think we’ve got the core to build around,” McCleery said.

He’s in the process of contacting previous coaches, trainers and other bench staff in the hope that they’ll be interested in returning and he welcomes volunteers who want to help out with the club through the season and on game day.

“I’m not a person to turn anybody down. If you’ve got a good thought I’m going to go with it.”

McCleery says he’s not a “my way or the highway” kind of owner.

“I think a team starts in the dressing room and you’ve got a bunch of guys who get together well in the room and they get together on the ice. That’s my philosophy.”

A three- to four-week tryout camp will start in mid-September with two exhibition games against Whitby planned before ACH league action starts.

With the ACH hosting the Allan Cup this season in Dundas, McCleery expects it to be a tough and competitive year.

“I’m optimistic.”

Potential players, coaches, volunteers interested in more information can call McCleery at 905706-0011.

Cousins Morgan Lyman, five, Grafton, and Alyssa Lyman, six, Belleville, eagerly wait for their first bite fishing along the shoreline of the Trent River.

By John Campbell

EMC News - Trent River In its heyday the Trent River Rod and Gun Club held a regatta every year. Those days are long past but the organization, which currently has about 20 members, is looking to rebuild its ranks.

“We used to be very strong in the community, a pillar in the community, and then over the years membership dwindled and we’re trying to bring it back, and get more enthusiasm,” said Susan Miles, who was elected club president last December.

There was enthusiasm to be found among the youthful entrants who took part in the annual fishing derby the club held July 13 after a one-year absence.

Almost a hundred youngsters and adults took part in the seven-hour event.

“It was a good turnout,” Miles said Monday. “Overall we were happy … It was one of the better years we’ve had in a while.”

Leah Boulerice, Warkworth, won both the coarse fish category for children and the largemouth bass competition for adults. David Sharpe, Havelock, collected the most goby among the youngsters.

Blaine Spagnola, Trent River, took top prize in the walleye class for adults, while Rich Faragher, also from Trent River, won the smallmouth bass category.

There was tackle available in case children arrived without any fishing rods, “to get them out and get them excited about fishing.” Miles said.

“The club is about encouraging our youth to be part of angling, hunting, sportsmanship and conservation.”

Anyone interested in joining the Trent River Rod and Gun Club can call Miles at 705-778-2475. You must be a member of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters to join. The club’s annual fee is $20 for family and $15 for a single membership.

Volunteers make Havelock party happen

By Bill Freeman

EMC Lifestyles - Havelock - Without volunteers Community Care Havelock’s annual summer picnic would not happen. It’s as simple as that.

“They’re huge, they’ve done all the work. Without the volunteers we would not be here,” Community Care co-ordinator Tammy Ross told the Trent Hills Independent as they prepared to welcome 77 diners to their startto-summer picnic social at the community centre which featured barbeque fare and an appearance by the Kitchen Kuties.

“They do all the food and make sure everyone in the village knows about the barbeque, Ross said. “They all run to whatever corner they need to run to grab things. It’s a joint effort of everybody coming together. There’s not any one person who does everything so it is a joint effort.”

The picnic does kick off the summer season, Ross says, but that doesn’t mean Community Care stops providing the vital services in delivers throughout the township.

“It does slow down but we’re still looking after clients,” she said.

Most of all, the picnic is a chance for volunteers and clients to have oneon-one social time. For many, like the reassurance call volunteers, it is an opportunity to meet the client they speak to every day on the telephone.

It is also a day when those clients can put a face to the voice they welcome into their lives on a regular basis.

“It’s nice for everybody to get together,” says Ross.

“I’ve met so many wonderful people volunteering, it’s fabulous,” said Kitty Bast, recently out of the hospital and anxious to get driving again.

“I can’t wait to get back to driving clients,” Bast said as she sold 50-50 tickets.

“I have more friends here than I have met anywhere,” she said. “I love driving for Community Care and all the people I meet, it’s a lot of fun and it’s a very necessary job and I’m just pleased to be able to do it.”

The Reverend David Estabrooks is a member of the Community Care board and says the key to the organization’s success is in following a simple and oldfashioned formula.

“Doing good to others that maybe can’t help themselves, that’s the basic philosophy,” Estabrooks said. “You see the good side of the community in action.”

“To me it’s old-fashioned; you go back to the way it was when neighbours helped neighbours. Community Care is about helping people who can’t help themselves,” he said.

“Basically it’s a good thing to do and the right thing to do and I’m privileged and glad to do it.”

Ross says the Havelock office has added “a lot of new people,” especially drivers, over the past year.

“We’re quite happy with the number of new people we’ve been able to recruit,” she said.

Some of the new office volunteers have come from the Community Care wellness program. They are in need of some more friendly visitors, said Ross.

“We’re fairly steady with adding new clients,” she added.

Family canoeing across Canada pass through area

By John Campbell

EMC Lifestyles - Trent Hills - Geoff and Pamela MacDonald have added to the challenges of raising a young family by spending their summers paddling across Canada.

When they began their journey from Victoria in 2007, the Calgary couple hadn’t any children and they fully expected they’d be able to travel from coast to coast in three years.

It was to be “an adventure, to experience Canada,” Geoff said, but a big flood in British Columbia slowed them down at the outset, and nature has disrupted their plans in various ways since then, “so our schedule became dictated by forces that we had no control over,” Geoff said during an overnight stopover at the Healey Falls flight lock July 11. “And at some point we said we need to start having a family.”

Jude, three-and-a-half, was the first to arrive and Rane was born seven months ago.

“Having a child really changes your outlook and what you’re trying to accomplish,” Geoff said.

The original intent was to go all the way to St. John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador but that changed once they had two young sons, because tides and weather systems “can be very

The MacDonald family—Pam, seven-month-old Rane, three-year-old Jude, and Geoff—plan to reach Quebec City by Labour Day weekend, ending a cross-Canada journey by canoe of nearly 10,000 kilometres over several summers. Photo: John Campbell

dangerous and unpredictable,” Geoff said. “We have to be very cautious with children.”

“It’s doable but it would take a lot more time than we thought we had,” Pam said. “Try to push hard every day everybody’s unhappy,” and should you set a schedule and fall behind, “you might be tempted to make decisions that aren’t safe so we decided Quebec City was manageable.”

They expect to arrive there the Labour Day weekend, after a journey of nearly 10,000 kilometres.

They travel about 25 kilometres a day; Pam helps out with the paddling whenever Rane falls asleep.

“This trip has become our life,” said Geoff, a 38-year-old geologist whose employer lets him take a leave of absence each summer. Pam, 37, is a consulting operations analyst.

Their mode of transportation is a 20foot Esquif Miramichi canoe made in Quebec that’s “extremely stable,” Pam said. A collapsible sail enables them to take advantage of favourable winds.

The couple named their canoe Margo’s Cargo, after one of Stompin’ Tom’s songs. They’re fans of the country music icon who died earlier this year. “What a character,” Pam said.

“He was a good inspiration for us.”

These horseshoe heavers are the best in the nation

By Steve Jessel

EMC Sports - Belleville - It was often a dead silence inside the confines of the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre this past weekend, despite the hundreds of competitors. Every so often, the clang of metal striking metal would interrupt the silence, usually followed by an audible cheer, or gasp of disappointment. The Canadian Horseshoe Championships can be a tense affair.

“I enjoyed myself immensely,” said Gary Batty of the Belleville Horseshoe Club, which organized the event. “I wanted to play in the Canadians, and I did. I wanted to host it, and the club did.

And I wanted to win a game, and I won three, so I’m happy.”

Over 200 participants were in Belleville this past weekend for some of the highest-level horseshoe action in the country, the 2013 Canadian Horseshoe Championships. Taking place at Arena B of the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre from July 10 to 13, the Horseshoe Canada sanctioned event Monique Labrech of Quebec carefully lines up a shot during the 2013 Canadian Horseshoe Champion- drew competitors from every province, many of them pitching for a chance to ships in Belleville this past weekend.

“Everybody shakes your hand,” Batty said of the camaraderie of the competitors. “If you have a problem, •Footings-Walls-Floors they’ll try and solve your problem, •Stone Slinger - Weeping Tile everybody works together; it’s just like big happy family.”

“amazing” complex.

“I think it was excellent; these people did an amazing job,” Leis said. “I think overall the feeling that I got from players and spectators was phenomenal.”

The Belleville organizers had roughly seven months to prepare for the event, after another city unexpectedly withdrew their candidacy late in the championship cycle. Undaunted, the Belleville club powered through to put together an exceptional event by all accounts, culminating in the largest Horseshoe Canada banquet in the history of the organization.

“It was a little difficult, but we did it,” Batty said. “I think Belleville is proud.

Everybody was proud of the facility, what we had done and the way it turned out.”

For those attending the event, it was hard to miss the overall age of participants and spectators, with the vast majority over the age of 40. Horseshoes as a competitive sport is facing lean times in terms of fresh blood, but Batty agreed that events like this can only help

“It definitely helps raise the profile of the sport; I mean there’s people talking about it that [don’t know what the sport is],” Batty said. “If you can get one kid to go and come out with you, and he likes it, and then he tells a friend, I think that’s the only way we’re going to get going.”

Ballet aid is a go

By Jack Evans

EMC News - Belleville - Quinte Ballet School is good to go for its fall registration following a special meeting of Belleville City Council last week.

The brief meeting gave speedy passage to a bylaw to allow council for service as a guarantor for a line of credit for the school, in keeping with a discussion and positive response at council’s previous regular meeting.

The 40-year-old private ballet school had, over the years, earned a reputation as one of Canada’s, if not North America’s premier junior ballet training schools, sending graduates to major schools and companies around the world.

The school’s line of credit was abruptly cut off at a critical time because, while the school owned a modern, valuable building, it did not own the land, which had been contributed by the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Board of Education.

Council also regarded the school as of economic value to the community, attracting many students from a wide area, as far as Japan, and providing payroll to local employees.

Silver medal winner Canada’s oldest competitor

By Sue Dickens

difficult to talk about his success in this sport.

Humble to a fault, he eventually took this writer to an outdoor workshop where several walls are filled with medals.

His most recent, a silver medal he won at the 2013 Pan American Masters Weightlifting Championships in Chicago. He competed in the men’s 80 age group, 77kilogram class.

He and Pedro Serrano from

Puerto Rico, also 82, were the oldest weightlifters participating in the event.

The three-day championships saw 250 competitors vying for a win.

“They were not all competing against me, fortunately for me,” said Buchanan with a grin.

The competition was broken down into age and weight categories, in fiveyear increments, beginning with men’s 35 years of age and ending with men’s 80 years of age.

“I’ve been involved in the sport of weightlifting for many, many years,” said Buchanan.

He started when his brother decided to get a set of weights when he was very young.

“He gave up after a while but I got interested and kept it up,” explained Buchanan.

Moving to Toronto in 1965 he got a job in the weightlifting arena. He was weightlifting as well and soon began competing “at a modest level.”

“It is the most interesting sport for me,” he said.

“It has a lot of science behind it. Kind of like golf which you know people analyze,” he added.

“The execution of the lifts is very scientific and that appealed to me.”

As he talked about the sport his calm demeanor remained unchanged,

but his eyes lit up as he surfed through a number of photos on his computer which had been taken at the competition in Chicago.

“You get a rush when you lift your maximum,” he said.

To stay at the top of his game he trains at Apollo Barbell Club in Belleville.

Buchanan said he has always competed not only against others but also against himself, trying to set the bar higher and higher.

His interest in the sport has taken him around the world. He is a former president of the Canadian Weightlifting Federation.

“I’ve been the Olympics, world championships, World Commonwealth Games as a team manager and president,” he noted.

And to add to his list of accomplishments he has also earned the credentials to become an International Referee #1 in weightlifting.

He was a referee in that capacity and a weightlifter at the 2013 Pan American Masters Weightlifting Championships in Chicago.

“They are always desperate for referees at the International Referee #1 level,” he commented.

Weightlifters came from throughout the U.S., Canada and South America to compete.

Now that he has returned, he is settling into his routine at his rural countryside home where he lives with his wife Glenis.

The medals, he said, are only one part of the reward

from his sport of his choice.

“For the amount of effort I put into weightlifting I’ve got so much more back. I have friends all over the world,” he concluded.

First Nations want “in-kind” support to repair “desecrated” burial site

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Norwood - Township council will wait until an August staff report before acting on a request from a First Nations delegation seeking in-kind assistance to repair and secure a “known

and documented” 500-year-old burial mound at a property on Orchard Road that was disturbed during a private construction project in 2011.

The municipality issued the building permit before an archeological assess-

ment was done on the site and work was halted only after human remains were found, Hiawatha First Nation Chief Glen Cowie told council last week as part of a delegation representing elders, youth and other supporters from Hiawatha, Al-

and archeologists.

“It would have cost the township less to purchase the mound portion of the property and preserve it than to cost it has taken to excavate,” he said.

First Nations chiefs want AsphodelNorwood to “mitigate the current situation.”

“The big thing right now is we’re trying to rectify this situation; our ancestors are there open,” Chief Cowie said.

Winter weather, soil erosion and the need for more volunteers to assist with the work has “caused an undue hardship on the First Nations.”

“We’re looking to get that retaining wall to protect [that site],” he said.

“We’re asking for in-kind services to help with that. It’s not like we’re asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Inkind, it’s minimal.”

First Nations would also like to see Asphodel-Norwood and other municipalities develop archaeological management plans to deal with sacred burial mounds.

“We would be more than willing to work with you on that but it doesn’t answer the question that First Nations are as long for resources, either in-kind, to complete the protection of known sites right now,” says Karry Sandy McKenzie, process and claims co-ordinator with the Williams Treaty First Nation.

“We still have an uncovered burial ground of our ancestors that needs to be protected. We would like some follow-up on what assistance you can provide.”

“What are you going to put in place so this doesn’t happen again?” Chief Cowie asked.

“When archeologists were contacted they noted almost instantly that the [Preston Mounds] site was a known and documented mound site,” Chief Cowie said.

The site was initially registered in the annual archeological report of Ontario in 1897, he added.

“There are a number of different sites and you need to get a plan on how to manage them,” Chief Cowie said noting that it’s not just an Asphodel-Norwood issue but a countywide concern that must be addressed.

The Preston Mounds site has been a “well-recognized and documented site for years, similar to Serpent Mounds,” he said. “There are several around the area [especially along water routes].”

“Over the years all of those sites have been identified.”

“Areas along the waterfront need to be red-flagged for future development.”

Nearly 2,000 fragments of human remains have been collected at the Preston site.

“This indicates about ten to twelve of our ancestors have been disturbed,” Chief Cowie said.

Alderville and Hiawatha First Nations first requested in kind support and equipment from Asphodel-Norwood in 2012 to help build a retaining wall at the site but the request was denied owing to a “lack of financial resources.”

Chief Cowie says that total final cost to when all the cleanup work is done will be $118,450, work done by First Nations

ENTERTAINMENT

Bob reminds people to check out the Trenton Big Band Festival

By Kate Everson

EMC Entertainment - Trenton - It may not be 76 trombones leading the big parade, but the Big Band Festival this weekend will be impressive.

“Come on downtown Saturday, July 20, from 2 to 4 for a free show,” said Councillor Bob Wannamaker at Monday night’s council meeting.

There will be the Toronto All Star Big Band entertaining with some very impressive instruments.

The 17-piece band is joined by the voices of The Serenaders and the TABB Four with hits from the 1930s and 1940s. Recent gigs have included the Beaches International Jazz Festival, Elliott Lake Entertainment Series, New York Riviera

Theatre and the Roselawn Centre Jazz and Blues Series.

At 6 p.m. the Dan Bone Groove Trio performs. The trio has been the go-to jazz group in the Quinte area for nearly 15 years. Dan is a JUNO nominated sax man whose collaboration with keyboardist Duncan Cooper and drummer Steve Conley has set the standard for jazz in restaurants, clubs, weddings and more in central Ontario.

At 9 the Rhythm and Truth Brass Band perform in the Riverfront Square (Back of Front Street). This JUNO award winning Paul Neufeld funky horn band has been tearing up rooms and street fests since 1995. With two CDs to their credit and a long track record as a Canadian festival favourite,

the eight-piece band has its own take on funk, soul and reggae classics.

“Come on down and enjoy yourselves,” Bob says.

On Sunday, July 21, at 1 p.m. the venue changes to the Centennial Park amphitheatre with tickets for $15 in advance at local music stores and city hall or online at <www.trentonbigbandfestival. com> or $20 at the gate.

“Peter Appleyard and the Swing Fever band is one of the greatest bands in Canada,” Bob says.

Appleyard is one of Canada’s internationally renowned jazz legends, having played eight years with Benny Goodman’s sextet in the 1970s. An Officer of the Order of Canada, Appleyard has shared

stages with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Oscar Peterson, Mel Torme and Miles Davis. At 85, he shows little sign of slowing down.

John MacLeod’s Rex Hotel Orchestra is another show-stopper, with a JUNO-award-winning album of best traditional jazz.

Formed ten years ago the 20-piece band’s name is taken from the jazz bar in Toronto where it performs on the last Monday of every month.

“There’s also Swing Dancers,” Bob says. “Come enjoy yourselves!”

There will be an artist village, food and Huff Estates wine available in the park. The event is sponsored by Seasons Dufferin Centre Bob Wannamaker (r) talks about the Trenton Big Band Festival in council with Keith Reid looking on. Photo: Kate Everson and the OLG.

Double Ducky Derby Dash will again be held at the Waterfront Festival the Campbellford/Seymour Fire Department rescue boat, the OPP Marine unit, and “our own safety boat at the ready in the water.”

In keeping with the waterfront theme the Campbellford BIA Waterfront Festival is selling Double Ducky Derby Dash tickets.

At 4 p.m. on the day of the event 300 ducks will be launched from the arch of the Campbell-

ford Bridge and folks can watch as they float downstream on the current, (upstream if the wind is too strong).

“If your duck comes in first, you could win a $100 gift certificate from Sharpe’s Food Market or from Campbellford Canadian Tire,” explained Kerr.

The Double Ducky Derby Dash tickets are available from participating downtown Campbellford merchants at $2 each

and the money collected goes to pay for the cost of the insurance for the event.

“Be part of the action, be part of the crowd for the Campbellford BIA’s 18th annual Waterfront Festival,” she added with enthusiasm, as the volunteers get ready for the big event which takes place on Saturday, August 3.

Family that won $50 million jackpot includes Hastings firefighter Gaylene, and Sion Powell, all of Peterborough, and Michael Powell, Newcastle, had been playing as a group since Lotto Max was launched in 2009.

Lynda Powell, 66, was the one who would buy the tickets and “she would always pitch in extra money anytime that one of the kids forgot—she wanted to make sure we were in this together,” Michael, 41, said in an Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation news release.

Mrs. Powell purchased the winning ticket at Walmart in Peterborough. When she checked the ticket on a self-scanner after going grocery shopping, she was “shocked to see all the zeros!”

Dan Powell declined to be interviewed.

His mother quit her job as a dietary aide at a retirement home, while his brother Michael, a Port Hope police sergeant, told Northumberland News he plans to remain on the force.

“I just got promoted. I love my job here, I love what I am doing,” he said.

“I am going to stay working here. The force and the police services board have treated me very well here.”

He said he would like to buy new workout equipment for a new police station when it’s built.

LIFESTYLES

The Good Earth: EMC Lifestyles - The dog days of summer are soon to arrive; last week was just a taste of things to come. Linked to Sirius, the Dog Star, they refer to the full-on, beat-you-down spells of hot, hazy and miserably humid days of July and August. The next paragraph is lifted directly from Wikipedia: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dog Days were popularly believed to be an evil time â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Sea boiled, the Wine turned sour, Dogs grew mad, and all other creatures became languid; causing to man, among other diseases, burning fevers, hysterics, and phrensies.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; according to Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clavis Calendaria, 1813â&#x20AC;?

Danâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment to this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to add that this is the season when all the bread in the bread box turns mouldy overnight making it tough to have toast and marmalade for breakfast.â&#x20AC;?

Did you know that the Romans (BC) would sacriďŹ ce a brown dog in an attempt to ward off the unpleasant

Reality Check:

Sheila Wray Gregoire EMC Lifestyles - Last week the perfect storm hit Toronto. Unexpected torrential rains poured down at rush hour on a weekday, stranding commuters and imperiling Go Train passengers (some of whom had to deal with snakes on a train). Combine heavy rains with the height of the commute and outdated sewage systems and you have a major

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Let The Dogs Get You weather?

So, what has this to do with gardening, Gentle Reader? There are several horticultural happenings coincidental to doggy days. One is the plethora of garden tours: stop in at just about any garden centre and read the items on their bulletin boards. A garden tour usually supports a good cause and is an excellent way to get new ideas. Please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tempted to break off little cuttings or ďŹ&#x201A;owers; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be astonished at how much damage is caused by visitors.

High humidity creates its own set of watering rules. You can check the archives of this paper and, soon, many garden writers will produce columns on how to balance the need for water and the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to transpire. The two plants that seem to suffer most, in my humble opinion, are impatiens and Japanese maples.

With the heat comes higher soil

temperatures which affect our lawns. We grow â&#x20AC;&#x153;cool seasonâ&#x20AC;? grasses and there is a point when they say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enough already!

Wake me up when September comes.â&#x20AC;?

(Which is a paraphrase from a song by the appropriately titled group Green Day.) There is lots of new work being done to further explain dormancy. Root growth stops at a certain temperatureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; 77° F at four inches below surfaceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but this has little to do with dormancy.

Leaves, stolons, crowns, rhizomes, all the plant bits not a root, are where the water is stored. When that is depleted, dormancy occurs. So, there is a good argument being made to â&#x20AC;&#x153;syringeâ&#x20AC;? lawns in the hot weather. Instead of applying one inch of water once a week, think about trying 1/3â&#x20AC;? of water three times a week. There will be little growth but the grass should stay green. However, as my friend Paul VandenEngel says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want good grass, plant a tree.â&#x20AC;?

The last bit to chat about is succession.

In a few weeks many of our gardens are about to change dramatically with the onset of dog days, usually for the worst.

Make a note of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bareâ&#x20AC;? spots, areas without colour or bloom. As lush and full as the greenery might be, it serves primarily as a backdrop for the up-front colour. Note what is in bloom in other gardens that would enhance your bit of this good earth.

Visit the garden centres and nurseries and check out the eye-candy at the entrances. We put it there for two reasons: 1) full bloom plants are pretty and people buy them; and, 2) our customers will be shown how to get full season colour, succession of bloom, by using those plants. The caveat is to make sure the plants are either perennials or shrubs and trees native/naturalised to your area. I might happily purchase impatiens at $12 a

Dan Clost ďŹ&#x201A;at but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not so keen at buying a plumbago at $29 no matter how blue the ďŹ&#x201A;ower. (Caryopteris or Blue Beard is a good small shrub alternative.)

Something to do on a Saturday: midseason check of lawn mowers, turn the compost piles, replenish mulches, and check for bugsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;good and bad.

Finally, if you do have a brown dog, dye the fur just in case retro-Romans are roaming the neighbourhood.

A perfect storm of social dysfunction mess.

A perfect storm hit a Florida neighbourhood a year and a half ago, too. A Hispanic neighbourhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, spotted a suspicious black teenager, Trayvon Martin, in his community, and the two broke into a tussle, during which Zimmerman shot Martin. In a highproďŹ le trial carried even on Canadian media, the jury last weekend declared Zimmerman not guilty of murder or manslaughter.

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help thinking of all of the ingredients that lined up to form that tragedy, too. Zimmermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbours had been burglarized multiple times, and the police had never materialized in a timely fashion, nor had they ever made any arrests. His conďŹ dence in the police was justiďŹ ably abysmal. Martin, for his part, had grown up feeling like he was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;other,â&#x20AC;? a victim of racism. And yet instead of trying to help him respect

himself and ďŹ t into the culture so he could succeed, the educational system had done a pathetic job. Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend who testiďŹ ed at the trial could barely be understood, her English was so bad.

Because of atrocious communication skills, the poor girl is virtually unemployable. How can an educational system get away with such a dereliction of duty?

Then there are Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, who split up some time ago. His mother admitted she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control her son, so she had sent him to live with his father. Martin grew up mostly without a dad, and kids in those situations, living in marginal communities, often learn to take care of themselves by acting aggressively.

So Martin lived in a culture where your main concern was making sure that others didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disrespect you. He fought frequently, used recreational drugs, and at the time of his death he was suspended

from school.

A police force that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t protect the public; an educational system that entrenches the underclass, rather than giving them a leg up; and a dysfunctional family system that leaves kids to fend for themselves. Put all of these things together on one February night, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difďŹ cult to imagine events turning out much differently. It was the perfect storm.

Canada is usually about ten years behind American social trends, so as I watched this trial, I asked, is this happening here? Is our school system teaching students to communicate effectively, or just passing kids through, grade by grade? Are we encouraging fatherlessness through our welfare system and our no-fault divorce system?

Do we have a culture which, instead of teaching kids to respect themselves and aiming to succeed, is encouraging kids to abandon traditional goals and to reject

the wider society altogether? Owing to both racial prejudice and racial pride, are we teaching kids to think of themselves primarily as part of a particular group, rather than as part of a wider society?

I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing all of those things.

That night in February, Zimmerman looked at an innocent boy and saw a threat. Martin looked at a concerned citizen and saw a threat. They both shared an â&#x20AC;&#x153;us versus themâ&#x20AC;? mentality.

And if we, as a culture, give up on shared values, a shared identity, and a shared sense of community, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be looking at pretty soon, too.

Canadians pride ourselves on â&#x20AC;&#x153;peace, order, and good government,â&#x20AC;? but these things are not automatic. They are the product of citizens feeling as if they have a shared stake in the country. When that falls apart, our peace and order will fall apart, too. Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a lot more perfect storms.

Conservation authorities help ensure Ontario is prepared for a flood crisis

EMC News - Newmarket - While Alberta continues to recover from devastating large scale ďŹ&#x201A;ooding events caused by record setting rainfalls across the province, Ontario can take comfort in knowing it has implemented a system that helps reduce ďŹ&#x201A;ood damages through effective ďŹ&#x201A;ood forecasting, ďŹ&#x201A;ood mitigation works, and managing development in ďŹ&#x201A;ood plains.

The most severe ďŹ&#x201A;ooding on record in Ontario occurred in October 1954 when Hurricane Hazel passed into

southern Ontario, killing 81 people and causing over $180 million in damages.

Following the devastating impact of Hazel, a ďŹ&#x201A;ood plain mapping and ďŹ&#x201A;ood forecasting and warning system was established in the province. Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ&#x201A;ood management system is often regarded as an example of good risk management. Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 36 conservation authorities, local watershed management agencies that deliver services and programs that protect and manage water and other natural resources, work with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources under a provincial emergency management framework to deliver a ďŹ&#x201A;ood management program to help safeguard the homes, belongings, and lives of Ontarians from ďŹ&#x201A;ooding events.

Conservation authorities are responsible for monitoring and predicting ďŹ&#x201A;ood ďŹ&#x201A;ows and water levels within their watersheds, operating ďŹ&#x201A;ood control structures such as dams, and disseminating ďŹ&#x201A;ood messages to local municipalities and agencies. Flood

forecast messages enable conservation authorities and municipalities to prepare for, track, and manage local ďŹ&#x201A;ooding. Advance warning provides these agencies with the opportunity to put emergency plans into operation, evacuate communities if necessary, and secure property in areas that are more likely to ďŹ&#x201A;ood. In parts of the province where conservation authorities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources provides a ďŹ&#x201A;ood management program through their district ofďŹ ces.

In accordance with the Conservation Authorities Act (1946), conservation authorities have the ability to restrict development in ďŹ&#x201A;ood plains. While some may claim conservation authority permitting processes are unnecessarily restrictive, ďŹ&#x201A;ood management programs delivered by the conservation authorities prevent loss of life and an average of well over $100 million per year in reduced ďŹ&#x201A;ood damages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although conservation authorities and our partners have done a good job

at minimizing risk, the reality is that ďŹ&#x201A;ooding remains to be the leading cause of public emergency in Ontario, costing millions of dollars per year in damages,â&#x20AC;? says Kim Gavine, general manager of Conservation Ontario, the organization that represents the conservation authorities. Gavine also outlines that climate change impacts are a signiďŹ cant issue as they create more frequent and more serious ďŹ&#x201A;ood events, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ&#x201A;ooding can no longer be seen as a spring problem,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an issue year round.â&#x20AC;?

Conservation Ontario believes that additional investment is needed.

Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Canyon

By John M. Smith

EMC Lifestyles - About 60 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, I found Ouimet Canyon, which could be considered Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Canyon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about three kilometres long, 152 metres (500 feet) across, and 107 metres (361 feet) deep; this spectacular, steepsided gorge is cut into the rugged volcanic rock thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located along the north shore of Lake Superior.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed glaciers came and went through this area about two million years ago, cracking and gouging the surface, exposing it to the actions of weathering, and eventually carving out this amazing canyon. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a geologic phenomenon that has been formed by the forces of ice, wind, rain, and timeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awesome sight!

There is, of course, a legend about how this canyon was formed, too. According to this â&#x20AC;&#x153;theory,â&#x20AC;? the giant Omett helped Nanabijou make mountains and lakes. One day, while Omett was moving a mountain, part of it fell and killed Naiomi (the girl he secretly lovedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and Nanabijouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter). Omett quickly hid Naiomi out of fear, and Nanabijou began searching for his daughter. When Nanabijou sensed that something was buried beneath his feet, he sent a thunderbolt to open up the ground so that he could take a closer look. He found his dead daughter at the bottom of this freshly created chasm, and he sadly buried her there on the canyon floor. In anger, he turned Omett into stone and put him on the canyon wallâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to watch over Naiomiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grave forever (one of the sculpted rocks located in the canyon is, of course, named the Indian Head).

To get to the park, exit the Trans Canada Highway near Dorion, and drive on a well-marked blacktop road for 11 kilometres to the parking lot; the last part of the drive becomes narrow and winding, and trailers are not allowed,

so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a designated drop-off point. Ouimet Canyon Provincial Park is open from mid-May to mid-October, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a day use only park (no overnight camping): however, this nature reserve provincial park offers the visitor a network of trails and boardwalks and magnificent views of the spectacular gorge.

I walked on the pleasant onekilometre trail that leads from the parking lot to the two viewing platforms that extend right over the edge of the steep canyon wall.

From these spectacular lookouts, I could get a panoramic view of the area, with its huge vertical rock columns (including the Indian Head) and steep canyon walls, and I could also gaze far down below me, straight down, to the chasm floor. I could feel the cool air rising from the depths of the canyon. I was told certain Arctic plants and alpine flowers survive down there in the shade and insulated moss, and ice remains below some of the shaded boulders yearround; access to the canyon floor was prohibited to protect this fragile plant community.

I found informative interpretive panels at both lookouts, and as I gazed to the north, the canyon eventually pinched into the surrounding hills, and to the south, it opened into a broad valley that extended all the way to Lake Superior. As I stood in awe at one of the lookouts, I began talking with a park ranger who was doing some bird watching there. She told me this was a great area for viewing such species as peregrine falcons, great blue herons, ospreys, and eagles.

The canyon itself was named after a former nearby railway station, Ouimet Station (on the CPR line), and the station was named after Joseph Aldric Ouimet, the Canadian Minister of Public Works from 1892 to 1896.

Very near to Ouimet Canyon is the privately owned and operated Eagle Canyon, which features on-

Another nearby provincial park thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely worth a visit is Sleeping Giant Provincial Park on the rugged shoreline of Lake Superior, near Thunder Bay. Ouimet Canyon is a bit

of a secret, for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somewhat out of the way and not crammed with tourists. However, I found it to be a rather unique and memorable destination, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d recommend checking it out on your next visit to this area of northern Ontario.

Young 8 Wing couple wrestling themselves back into shape after life happened

By Ross Lees

EMC Lifestyles - Trenton - Lieutenant Dionysios (Gabe) and Corporal Samantha Gosselin perhaps have marriage counselling down to a fine art. Married with two children, they say they never argueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;once they get off the mats.

Gabe and Samantha are also wrestlers, a sport they were practising when they met and fell in love. A year ago, after their second child and while Samantha was still on maternity leave, they got back into wrestling and worked themselves back into shape, to the point they won bronze medals at a recent Canada Cup Competition at the University of Guelph.

Now that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve proven to themselves theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still got the competitive juices and talent, they want to keep working their way up in the sport.

Having joined the 8 Wing Martial Arts Club, Gabe, Wing Pay Accounts Officer, and Sam, an RMS clerk, started a wrestling club and, as they continue to outfit it with proper mats, etc., they hope to work themselves into shape to wrestle at CISM, an international military sports organization.

For that to happen, though, they may have to practise some wrestling techniques within the hierarchy of the military. The last time a CISM event was held, there were no Canadian military wrestlers involved.

Challenges like that, however, are just wrestling opportunities for this motivated young couple. Gabe wrestles

at the 120-kilogram weight class and Samantha wrestles at the 72-kilogram weight class.

Having started their military careers and then started a family, they were away from wrestling for about six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life happened,â&#x20AC;? noted Gabe, adding they decided to try to get back to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was always something we wanted to keep in our lives,â&#x20AC;? Samantha adds.

For the past nine months, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been wrestling against each other while also coaching each other in a fairly austere wrestling environment.

Where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been practising, they have had to use mats designed for another competitive sport, which they laugh about and say it just helped make them the toughest wrestlers at the recent tournament.

Somewhere along the line, they must have done something, right, however, because they each won bronze medals while competing against some Team Canada wrestlers and athletes from 17 years old and up with the two Gosselins being the elder statesmen.

Not really knowing how their training was coming along until they hit some real competition, they had two goals going into the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get beat in ten seconds and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get hurt,â&#x20AC;? Gabe said.

Those rules became even more important when a rule change came down just two weeks prior to the event and

the rules were still being worked out even as they went on the mats.

Secretly, the Gosselins had another goal: to score a point as quickly as possible. Both did that quickly and Samantha ended up quickly pinning her opponent once she scored that initial point.

Gabe scored his first point against a Team Canada wrestler and that helped

him regain some confidence.

The two athletes admit it has not been easy establishing the club and keeping their training routines, to say nothing of raising a young family. And of course, a husband and wife coaching each other does not always go well, but wrestling has helped get rid of the aggression.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We never fight,â&#x20AC;? Gabe says with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re normally too tired,â&#x20AC;? interjects Samantha, as they smile at each other.

And as if all those challenges arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, they want to wrestle at CISM. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep you posted how that works out.

Squadron planning a 70th anniversary celebration

By Ross Lees

R0012182140

EMC News - Trenton - 424 Squadron wants to bring all present and former squadron members back to Trenton to celebrate the squadron’s 70th anniversary.

The actual 70th anniversary happened on October 15, 2012, but commanding Officer Lieutenant-Colonel Jean Bernier did not want the anniversary to pass without a celebration by all present and former members of the squadron, according to Captain Gillian Parker.

“It’s an occasion to gather our people together so we’re in the process of trying to reach out to our past members,” Parker said The celebration will be held on the weekend of September 27 to 29 at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, beginning with a Friday night meet and greet at 9 Hangar, Captain Gillian Parker displays the newly minted 424 Squadron anniversary coin featuring the aircraft the squadron has flown according to Captain Parker.

“It begins at 4 p.m. and we’ll on one side and their battle honours on the other. To make contact to purchase the coin, E-mail <squadron424@yahoo.ca> or have buses to the hangar line telephone 613-885-4823. Photo Ross Lees side of the base,” she said.

They are also hoping for a Search and Rescue (SAR) demonstration and they anticipate a Lancaster fly-in, for the occasion.

“There will be food and refreshments and LieutenantColonel Bernier is inviting all previous Commanding Officers to return for the event,” Captain Parker noted.

The Saturday morning kicks off with a golf tournament at Roundel Glen Golf Course on a first-come, first-served basis with just 40 slots open. That is followed by a wine tour of three wineries in Prince Edward County ending at Huff Estates for lunch.

Saturday night, a semi-formal gala dinner open to spouses will be held at the National Air Force Museum of Canada (NAFMC), Parker stated.

Sunday morning, the squadron wants to rededicate the memorial at the NAFMC. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. and conclude with lunch at the Officers’ Mess.

“That will be the farewell lunch where everybody can gather for their final gettogether,” Captain Parker noted.

For now, however, squadron personnel are concentrating on trying to get in touch with as many former members as they can, across Canada and the United Kingdom. Anyone interested in attending is directed to the web site at <www.424sqn70th.ca> where they can register, check schedules or garner even more information and details of the event.

B12 EMC Section B - Thursday, July 18, 2013

Another aspect of the celebration is that LieutenantColonel Bernier has commissioned a special coin for the occasion and Captain Parker indicates it is the nicest coin she has ever seen. It can be ordered through the web site and orders are being taken now.

A Search and Rescue/ Transport Squadron, 424 (Tiger) Squadron works out of 9 Hangar at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. To fulfil its roles, 424 Squadron flies the CH-146 Griffon helicopter and the Lockheed CC-130 Hercules.

424 Squadron is responsible for the 10,000,000 square kilometres of the Trenton Search and Rescue Region comprising most of the Province of Quebec,

all of Ontario, the Prairie Provinces and the entire Arctic.

The Squadron crews one aircraft of each type on a 30minute standby response posture during normal working hours and on a two-hour posture at all other times in order to respond to distress cases as tasked by the Rescue Co-ordination Centre.

The Hercules allows the Squadron to fulfill its other primary role of strategic transport anywhere in the world.

To maintain this capability, the Squadron yearly conducts four Long Range Trainers to the Caribbean, South America, Europe and Africa. Airlift for humanitarian and aid agencies are carried on these flights, often bringing aid and supplies to hospitals and orphanages.

As well, 424 Squadron crews participate in all major airlift operations 424 (T&R) Squadron provides an important and diverse capability to 8 Wing which in turn makes for an interesting and satisfying tour of duty for its members.

History On October 15, 1942, 424 Bomber Squadron formed at Topcliffe, England. It flew from England and Tunisia during the war, disbanding on October 15, 1945.

Back in Canada, the squadron reformed at RCAF Station Hamilton on April 15, 1946, as 424 Light Bomber Squadron (Auxiliary).

On September 19, 1952, the title “City of Hamilton” was added to the official squadron designation. The squadron was disbanded on March 31, 1964.

On July 8, 1968, 424 Communications and Rescue Squadron stood up at RCAF Station (CFB) Trenton, where they remain today equipped with the CH-149 Cormorant and CC-130 Hercules.

Still relatively early in the process of organizing the event, Captain Parker indicates their prime concern at this point is getting in touch with all past members of 424 Squadron.

“We’re trying to contact members any way we can and we’ll be making a concerted effort to keep in contact in the future, as well,” she said.

The Squadron can be contacted in a number of ways, including: Telephone: 613-8854823; E-mail <squadron424@ yahoo.ca>; or by regular mail at 424 Search and Rescue/ Transport Squadron, 8 Wing/ CFB Trenton, P.O. Box 1000 Station Forces Astra, Ontario, Canada, K0K 3W0.

the other in the production, will offer a visual spectacle as well. “It has to look just right,” she says.

Tickets have been selling well for the show, says SFT Media Co-ordinator Joanne Hartman, with seats still available throughout the run.

“But when you put on Andrew Lloyd Webber you know it’s going to be popular,” she notes.

Joseph and the Amazing

Technicolor Dreamcoat opens Thursday, August 8, with morning, evening and matinee performances scheduled until closing night, August 24.

Tickets are $23 for adults and $15 for children with a family pack (two adults, two children) available for $60 through the theatre box office or by calling 613-395-2100.

“This will be a good one,” says SFT Managing Director David Vanderlip.

Four-wheel vandals strike soccer field

Police are looking for the vandals who used ATVs to tear up sections of the Havelock soccer field. Photo: Bill Freeman

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Havelock - Just a few days after township council raised concerns about ATV riders making their way into Rotary Park and the adjacent soccer field, four-wheel vandals tore up sections of the playing field.

Sometime between 8:30 p.m. on July 10 and 6:30 p.m. on July 11 motorized vandals drove onto the Industrial Drive field and tore up sections of turf.

Peterborough County OPP say that the culprits made their way onto the field by moving the large stones that act as a barrier between the parking lot

and the soccer pitch.

On July 3, police say witnesses saw youth on ATVs attempting to move the same boulders but they were unsuccessful.

A partial licence plate on one of the ATVs was taken down by a witness; the number was Ontario marker 875.

Police are asking for the public’s help in locating this ATV or any other information regarding the incident.

Health Unit approves new strategic plan

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Peterborough County - The Peterborough County City Board of Health has approved the health unit’s new 2013-2017 strategic plan which will help guide the organization through its work in the county, city of Peterborough and First Nations.

The plan was released by the heath unit in June and focuses on four key directions.

“This new plan is a significant

achievement that will guide the health unit for the next five years in a way that reflects our community and its health needs,” board chair David Watton said.

Watton said the plan is the “culmination of many months of hard work.

“It rests squarely on a foundation of reaching out to and connecting with the many stakeholders who work with us, who use our services, who rely on us each and every day,” he said.

The process to build the plan involved “synchronizing many inputs,” Watton said.

Those “inputs” included “local population data, extensive community consultations, a review of Ontario Public Health Standards and the province’s own strategic plan framework: for the public health sector.

The final plan “defines four key strategic directions: community-centred focus, determinants of health and health equity,

capacity and infrastructure and quality and performance.

“These four directions provide a vision for our organization that is proud, caring, professional, action-oriented, and measureable,” Mr. Watton says.

“Given the complexity and the importance of public health, there are many challenges and opportunities before us; however, we are confident in the abilities of our staff members who work tirelessly to promote health and

prevent illness to deliver on this plan,” he added.

Now that the plan has been completed and approved, health unit staff will take to the road and make presentations to municipal councils throughout the county and to city council in Peterborough. The health unit is also encouraging local residents to download the plan from the health unit’s web site at <www. pcchu.ca>.

Agricultural Wall of Fame founder finally gets his due

By John Campbell

EMC News - Northumberland County - Jim Dalrymple, the man whose idea it was to establish the Quinte Agriculture Wall of Fame eight years ago, will join its ranks of honorees this year.

He and eight others who have made significant contributions to their communities and the agriculture and food industry at the local, regional or national level will have their names added to the wall at Farmtown Park in Stirling September 15.

“I’m quite honoured,” said the Cramahe Township resident, but “I feel guilty going in because I originated this wall.”

Dalrymple was nominated by the Quinte Pork Producers, which had tried a few times before to submit his name “and I kept saying no, because I’m so involved in the whole process, I don’t think it looks right.”

He needn’t worry about appearances.

His record clearly speaks to his worthiness as a Wall of Fame inductee.

A regional swine specialist at the Ministry of Agriculture’s Brighton office for 27 years before retiring in 1998, Dalrymple has garnered numerous awards, from the Canadian Agri-Food Research Council, The Canadian Society of Animal Science, the Ontario Farm Animal Council, Ontario Pork, and the Ontario Institute of Agrologists.

He chaired the Ontario Animal Research and Services Committee, the Canada Committee on Animals, the Animal Code of Practice and Veal Code development committees, and the Quinte West/Northumberland Agricultural Advisory committee.

He also was a director of Ontario

Jim Dalrymple and eight others who have played prominent roles in agriculture and community life in four counties will have their portraits and stories added to the Quinte Agricultural Wall of Fame September 15 at Farmtown Park in Stirling. Dalrymple, a member of Brighton Lions for 20 years and co-chair of the Brighton Applefest Committee for two years, retired as a swine specialist in 1998 and started a consulting service out of his home in Cramahe Township.

Swine Improvement, and a member of the Ontario AgriFood Technologies Development Committee, the Ontario Pork Industry Improvement Task Force, the Canadian Agri-Food Research Council, and the Animal Germplasm

Technical Experts Board.

Dalrymple has also written extensively and was co-author of A Century of Achievement in Animal Agriculture.

A graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College at the University of Guelph with a

Master of Science degree, he worked for Canada Packers before joining the Ministry of Agriculture. After his retirement, he started Livestock Technology Services and worked as a consultant; his clients included the federal government, universities and commodity groups, dealing with everything from climate change to animal welfare.

“My work, it’s been enjoyable,” he said, and the highlight was “working with farmers.”

Dalrymple said agriculture is much different today from when he started out. “There are far fewer farmers now,” he said, noting there were 20,000 hog producers in Ontario in the 1970s and now there are about 1,600.

“I wouldn’t enjoy my role today because it’s more bureaucratic and you don’t get to visit with the farmers,” he said. “I could talk to senior officials but now there’s about six, eight levels of bureaucracy you have to go through to get anywhere.”

John Boughen is the other inductee from Northumberland County. A past president of the Northumberland Federation of Agriculture, which nominated him, he served on the former Hope Township Ratepayers Association, the Port Hope Agricultural Advisory Committee, the East Durham and Port Hope historical societies, and the Port Hope Probus Club.

Boughen, who died recently, also led the charge to send generators to eastern Ontario and Quebec following the ice storm in 1998, and was active in the Hay West campaign in 2002.

The other inductees are: Russell and Mary Sills, and Don Martin, Hastings County; Bill Greer, former warden of Prince Edward County and a member of Wellington council for 30 years, 13

as reeve; Paul Burns, Lennox and Addington County, a former warden who received a lifetime achievement award from the county in 2009, and Bill and Marilyn Brant, Tyendinaga First

Nation.

Vintage Wings aircraft fly around CFB Trenton EMC News - Trenton - Vintage Wings of Canada’s heritage aircraft will be seen flying around CFB Trenton and Mountain View Detachment until July 22 as part of their familiarization program for the Royal Canadian Air Cadets at the Trenton Air Cadet Summer Training Centre (TACSTC).

Residents of Quinte West, Prince Edward County and surrounding communities may see a Harvard, a Tiger Moth, a Fleet Finch, or a Chipmunk flying around the area during this period. There will be increased air traffic during the day; however, it will not pose a disturbance to the community.

The educational outreach program, Yellow Wings, has been developed by Vintage Wings of Canada to address the challenge of turning young people onto science, technology, engineering and math, and motivating them to pursue their dreams through hard work and discipline.

This program will take place over 50 days during the summer at nine cadet training centres across Canada.

As the TACSTC is one of Canada’s largest Air Cadet training centres with approximately 1,600 cadets participating in various summer training courses, it represents an ideal audience for this educational outreach.

Also, Trenton is an especially relevant venue for this training initiative given the historic significance of the base to the Royal Canadian Air Force and the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
