EMC News - Campbellford - Defiant and determined in their fight against this dreaded disease, cancer survivors walked side by side with caregivers, friends, family and supporters at the fifth annual Relay for Life in Trent Hills.

For Kathy Stephenson, this was her first time participating in Relay for Life.

“I am doing this because I am celebrating 11 years cancer free,” she said proudly as she put on one of the yellow T-shirts worn by cancer survivors.

She and her husband, David, just moved to Campbellford from Fort Erie and are the new pastors of the Free Methodist Church.

“I think for ten years I was just waiting … I call it waiting to exhale. I was on tenterhooks because you are never sure with every checkup what will develop.

After ten years I am ready to celebrate and walk with other people doing the same thing.”

EMC News - Warkworth Gate receipts were down but junior level entries were up.

Ticket sales for the car draw were down but entries in the fireman’s challenge were up “We will just have to work harder next year,” said Tracy Russell, a director with the Percy Agricultural Society (PAS).

The heavy rains on Saturday definitely affected the Warkworth Fair but Sunday dawned bright and clear with plenty of sunshine to go around.

“The weather definitely impacted us in a negative way on Saturday but fortunately we ended up on a higher note on Sunday,” said Russell.

Moving some of the

planned outdoor activities inside made a positive difference to what could have been a disastrous weekend.

The Wild Wild West show was one of those events that survived the threat of cancellation thanks to an indoor ring that was set up indoors next to the Red Barn.

This was the first year for the show and it drew a good crowd as young and old enjoyed the Bishop family which provided some good old-fashioned family fun with everything from trick roping, trick riding to Roman riding, whip cracking, sharp shooting to trick horses with cowboys and cowgirls, all of it keeping the audience entertained.

The barbeque on Saturday night saw about 200 people stop by compared to

300 last year.

“The numbers were obviously down because of the weather … but even so, 200 was good,” commented Russell.

The fly ball dogs and horse show and horse pull on Saturday had to be cancelled but the truck and tractor pull and beef show on Sunday gave fairgoers plenty to see.

The Homecraft Division is always a crowd pleaser but this year it was even better.

“Junior entries were up this year. We had to bring in more tables to display all the entries and the payout was more as a result,” commented Russell.

The arena was filled with everything from flowers to home baking while the new Please see “Warkworth” on page 3

Decoration Day an ode to peace and sacrifice

By Bill Freeman

EMC Lifestyles - Norwood - “Peace begins with a smile,” Padre John Webster of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 reminded

spectators at the branch’s annual Decoration Day service at the Norwood Cemetery.

It was, in fact, a reminder Webster himself received in

a fortune cookie and one he felt compelled to share with poppy-wearing guests as they stood under a cloudmixed sky to remember

branch members and others in the community who have died this past year.

It was a chance to reflect on the meaning of peace and sacrifice, two things that comingle in the lives of veterans.

Padre Webster noted that Decoration Day ceremonies at the cemetery are infused with a sense of peacefulness.

“What I am seeing are people at peace in a very peaceful and serene setting who have come here to pay homage to their loved ones and to veterans,” he said.

“My thoughts quickly move to the many veterans who are buried here and to the bright red poppies that adorn their graves and we think of the thousands buried in other places of the world where we cannot go to adorn their graves.

“We think of these men and women who enlisted in the service of their country and fought for that peace,” Webster said. “We must continue to remember the many veterans who still stand among us.”

“When we enter the cemetery grounds we seem to lose sight for a short while of the turmoil and troubles of the outside world and then we hear the sound of the trumpet and the wail of the bagpipes and our minds are jolted back to the reason we are here.”

“Peace is something we take for granted,” Padre Webster said. “We all want to rest, not to have to worry, to feel free to enjoy life. We want to be able to enjoy ourselves and not be burdened down with worries that rob us of our vigour.”

But in pursuing this personal quest for peacefulness, Padre Webster said “we forget the sacrifices made for us by our veterans so that we can enjoy that peace.”

We also forget efforts made by community members to maintain that peace, he added.

Conflicts often begin because we forget the lessons of history, Padre Webster said.

“Since history has been recorded there has been peace, the absence of war, for only 236 years so we still have a lot to learn.”

Smiles change moods, he said.

“And because smiling is contagious we infect those around us. It is almost impossible to have adverse feelings toward someone who is smiling at you.”

Council supports policy request

EMC News - Havelock Township council is calling on senior levels of government to implement a national auto policy and to convene a national jobs summit to “develop an overall jobs strategy for keeping good jobs in Canada.”

Council, at the urging of Councillor Barry Pomeroy, endorsed a Canadian Auto Worker written resolution that had been endorsed by the town of Ingersoll and forwarded to municipalities across the province, the Association of Ontario Municipalities, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and “other relevant bodies.”

The resolution notes that over 40,000 auto industry jobs have been lost since its peak in 2003, an industry that

currently supports 100,000 jobs across Canada.

Canada has lost two more light vehicle assembly plants during the years since the financial crisis hit, the Oshawa General Motors pickup plant in the Ford car assembly plants and will lose another light vehicle plan in 2013 when the GM consolidated plant in Oshawa shuts down.

The 2013 closure comes with the loss of 2,000 more jobs, the resolution states.

“In 1999 Canada’s auto exports exceed(ed) our imports by $15 billion,” it said. “This positive trend has ceased beginning in 2006.

“Last year the automotive trade deficit reached an alltime record of $15.6 billion.”

“The Town of Ingersoll recognizes the importance of the Canadian auto industry

to provincial-territorial and national economies,” the resolution says.

Ingersoll is home to CAMI Automotive which employs over 2,700 in its small SUV plant and also advocates adopting the “Rethinking Canada’s Auto Industry: a Policy to Escape the Race to the Bottom” which includes taking the “The Good Jobs Pledge.”

The resolution also calls on global corporations to “invest more in Canadian operations and good Canadian jobs.”

“There are people in our own community who work [at GM] in Oshawa,” Pomeroy said in supporting the resolution.

There are also people working in businesses in Peterborough that support the auto industry.

Taking their fight against cancer to the Relay for Life held in Campbellford last Friday are: from left, Greg Dabor, Pam Forgrave and Shelley Budd. Their team was called Blooming for a Cure.

Continued from page 1

A total of 148 cancer survivors and 79 caregivers were joined by dozens and dozens of volunteers at the fairgrounds in Campbellford last Friday night in a show of solidarity.

“We raised $115,000 with more money coming in,” said Darlene Brown, co-chair of the local Relay for Life organizing committee.

“There were a lot of young people who came and wanted to help this year, students who came after school … we formed the spirit squad,” she added.

This year there were 29 teams and about 300 participants, down from the 36 teams who participated last year but the enthusiasm and spirit of the event was in no way less palpable.

Top individual fund raiser was Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan ($5,760) and top team fund raiser was his team, the Trent Hills Targets ($9,547). Best decorated camp site was awarded to the Trent River Riverrats led by cancer survivor Frank Williams and his wife Ann of Trent River.

Emotions ran high as the evening began with speeches and warmup exercises led by local physiotherapist Doreen Sharpe.

“Contrary to some of the rumours going around I am truly an example that cancer can be beaten. And I gotta tell ya other than some days when it would be really easy to get tired in the afternoon, I’ve never felt better,” Macmillan told the crowd who

applauded his sentiments.

“I got to see my baby boy get married and enjoy six grandchildren and now there is no end in sight,” he added, joining many other tearyeyed participants.

Participants like Bev Scott who lost her daughter Beth to cancer four years ago. She was with the Campbellford Lioness team.

“I think people like us should feel a responsibility to come to something like this so that it’ll prevent other people from having to go through what we went through,” she told EMC, with an emotional appeal.

Kerry Francis was there for the same reason. “We are here to remember Jessie, my daughter who passed away in January of this year with a brain tumour. She was only 23,” she said, surrounded by her supportive family.

Elvin Petherick, who emceed the evening, explained that this year more than 100 communities across the province, are taking up the fight. “We have more impact against more cancers in more communities than any other cancer charity in Canada.”

He was joined on the stage

by John Hayward, director of Relay for Life, Ontario Division at the Canadian Cancer Society.

“There’s three types of people in this world, those that watch things happen, those that make things happen, and those who say what just happened. And tonight, Trent Hills, you are people that make things happen in this fight against cancer. Give

yourself a hand tonight,” he said.

This year’s Relay for Life had a special element to it, a newly announced partnership with the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Brad Hilker, hospital CEO, was there with his team.

“It’s not easy picking a fight with cancer; sometimes you get knocked out but when you work together we can make a difference,” he said.

The bad weather forecasted that night held off until after the survivors’ victory lap and luminary walk but by 1 a.m. when lightning threatened participants, organizers decided to end the event, for the sake of the safety of everyone involved.

Fighting back in memory of her daughter Jessie, who passed away this past January, are from left, Jessie’s grandmother Diane Francis, her mom Kerry Francis, her cousin ten-year-old Nicole Slain (who raised over $1,500), her great-aunt Mary Griffiths, aunt Cindy Slain and son-in-law Salviano Vaillancourt.

Fortification bylaw targets criminal activity

EMC News - Trent Hills A man’s fortress is his castle … or is his castle his fortress?

That is a question Trent

Hills councillors debated recently before joining a list of municipalities that have approved a fortification bylaw which allows police, emer-

Northumberland OPP Inspector Doug Borton made a presentation to Trent Hills council asking for their approval of a fortification bylaw, the goal of which is to target the criminal element. Council approved the bylaw. Photo: Sue Dickens

gency personnel and building bylaw staff deal with the criminal element and make neighbourhoods safer.

Steel doors, concrete barriers, steel bars over windows, surveillance cameras, observation towers and electrical fencing are just some of the common types of fortification that will be the target of the bylaw.

The decision to pass the bylaw was made at a recent council meeting following a discussion after some questions were put to Inspector Doug Borton, Northumberland OPP. He made the presentation because the Police Services Board had made a request of the building and bylaw department to review and implement a fortification bylaw.

Councillor Meirion Jones voted against the bylaw stating, “I think it would be a very difficult bylaw to enforce.”

“I am also worried that it will be putting our bylaw officers in a dangerous position, potentially putting them in peril,” he added.

In response Inspector Borton explained, “They do building inspections currently and are trained to go in and look at a facility. This is a tool for them and the police.”

He added, “If they see

New Horizons for Seniors funding for Warkworth Legion

EMC News - Warkworth Seniors will soon have new opportunities to volunteer, mentor younger generations and help raise awareness of elder abuse thanks to funding through the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP).

“Our government recognizes the diversity of skills, knowledge and experience that seniors contribute to our society and the economy,” said Rick Norlock, MP for Northumberland-Quinte West.

He made the announcement on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, and the Honourable Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors).

“Through initiatives such as the New Horizons for Seniors Program, we are helping to ensure that seniors

maintain a high quality of life and continue as active, participating members of their communities,” he added.

The Warkworth Legion will receive $19,411 for a much-needed upgrade, renovation and for equipment purchases.

Project Team Leader Joyce Nickerson said, “We’re receiving nothing but positive comments on the new furniture. It’s causing quite a reaction, but you would have had to have seen the old furniture to understand.

“The New Horizons for

Seniors Program is the major contributor to this success story. The funding goes a long way to ensure seniors and the community have a comfortable place to socialize,” she added.

Since its beginning, the New Horizons for Seniors Program has funded more than 10,400 projects in hundreds of communities across Canada.

This year, the federal government will provide more than $35.6 million in funding for almost 2,000 community projects.

something is suspicious, for them it looks like there is criminal activity or definitely fortification, they don’t have to go back … it is a safety factor for them. That’s when they contact the police and we get involved.”

Councillor Kim MacNeill also expressed concerns about the safety of the bylaw officers and after asking some questions later voted to approve it.

As was explained in the report, the fortification bylaw restricts a landowner from installing barriers to prevent access to the property by police, bylaw, building and other emergency service personnel.

The rationale noted that in recent years there has been an increase in organized crime moving into rural communities like Trent Hills as is evident in the number of grow op houses found and other illegal activities.

The grow op houses are used to produce products associated with the illegal drug trade.

The police have reported organized crime has now been established in the City of Peterborough and are concerned that areas like Trent Hills are easy access for the criminal members. ”It is not uncommon for organized crime members

to move into an area and begin fortification of the buildings to prevent access by or injury to authorities in the lawful execution of their duties,” states staff in its report.

The bylaw defines excessive fortification as the construction of devices, barriers, or materials designed to hinder, obstruct or prohibit access to or from land or have the effect of hindering, obstructing or prohibiting access to or from land.

The definition includes the use of concrete, concrete blocks, reinforced steel, bullet proof glass and shutters, armour plating, observation towers, etc.

The definition also includes laser eyes, electronic warning devices, electric fencing, surveillance equipment, land mines or other explosive devices, etc.

Deputy-mayor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan commented on the bylaw, “I look at it as a tool as one of the things we can utilize in the form of a higher level of enforcement and our bylaw officers don’t have to get in-

volved. At that point we can call on the next level of enforcement.”

Borton told EMC, “The fortification bylaw is strictly meant for criminal activity and it is used in that sense.

It is to protect the elements that hinder, to prevent law enforcement officials, emergency services personnel from acting in a lawful capacity and that’s stated right in the bylaw.”

As Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan pointed out in his summation, “It’s okay to try to build a moat around my house as long as I don’t bring a criminal inside my building.”

There are similar fortification bylaws across the province and in several of the municipalities in the area including Cramahe, Hamilton, Alnwick Haldimand, Cobourg and now Trent Hills.

Staff recommended the bylaw be reviewed after a one-year period to see if it is working as intended and to identify corrections and clarifications.

Council agreed.

Time to pass the Skin Cancer Prevention Act

Dear Editor, Cancer is an unrelenting disease, but Canadian Cancer Society volunteers and staff are tireless in leading the fight against cancer. One of the easy ways progress can be made is through public policies that can prevent future cancer cases and help people who are living with the disease.

After the summer break, the provincial legislature resumed sitting at Queen’s Park on August 27. The Canadian Cancer Society is renewing its calls for the government of Ontario to support Bill 74, the Skin Cancer Prevention Act, which aims to restrict youth under 18 year of age from using indoor tanning equipment.

In 2009, the world’s foremost authority in identifying the causes of cancer, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified ultraviolet radiation (UVR) emitting devices, including tanning beds, as a known carcinogen proven to cause cancer. The skin damage caused by UVR is cumulative over a person’s life, meaning the earlier you start tanning, the greater your risk of developing skin cancer later in life. This is why the society is so concerned about the issue of youth using indoor tanning equipment. In July, an expert review of current research published in the British Medical Journal showed that people who first started

using indoor tanning equipment before the age of 35 have an 87 per cent increased risk of melanoma skin cancer.

There is no excuse for the Ontario government not to pass Bill 74. In other parts of Canada, the governments of Quebec, Nova Scotia and British Columbia are all taking proactive steps to address this pressing issue by introducing legislation to restrict youth from indoor tanning salons. In August, the Town of Oakville became the first municipality to enact such legislation in Ontario.

The indoor tanning industry continues to misrepresent its product to the public. No tan is a safe tan.

Melanoma skin cancer is

one of the most common forms of skin cancer in young Ontarians ages 15 to 29, and is one of the most preventable. Indoor tanning equipment can emit ultraviolet radiation at levels that are five times stronger than the mid-day summer sun. A tan from natural or artificial sources provides very limited protection from sunlight or burning—it’s only equivalent to about SPF two or three.

We know voluntary guidelines do not work. The indoor tanning industry has proven incapable of regulating itself. Investigative reports by media and audits conducted by Society and Public Health, show that those in the indoor tan-

ning industry are not consistently following Health Canada’s voluntary safety guidelines. We also know parental consent does not work as many parents are introducing their kids to indoor tanning and paying for their tanning sessions.

Regulating the indoor tanning industry will save lives and help reverse the rising cost of skin cancer on our already exhausted healthcare system. The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer estimates the total economic burden of skin cancer in the country will rise to $922 million annually by 2032. We already have age-specific laws related to smoking, drinking, gambling and bike helmets.

Restricting those under 18 from indoor tanning would be just another law that protects the health of a vulnerable population and raises awareness about the dangers of indoor tanning.

We need to take action now. I encourage local residents to join the fight against skin cancer and send a letter to MPP Todd Smith by visiting <www.takeaction.cancer.ca> or join the conversation on Twitter via #tanbedban.

Yours in cancer prevention, Karen White Unit President Hastings Prince Edward & Brighton Unit Canadian Cancer Society

Dear Editor, To MPP Jeff Leal, Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long-term Care and the Honourable Dalton McGuinty, I would like you to tell me why Havelock can’t have a long-term-care facility? Norwood has two, one for those who need daily care and one for those who are able to enjoy life but

can’t run their own homes; likewise, Campbellford and Marmora have their seniors homes.

Our area covers Havelock, Belmont, Methuen, a large area, plus Cordova’s area too.

My mom and dad spent their lifetime in this area but they had to go to Peterborough to a nursing home;

Dear Editor, Sixty years ago two advertisements appeared in the Norwood Register, forerunner of the present newspaper the EMC. The reeve of Norwood, Rork Ferguson, declared a public holiday on June 4, 1953, marking the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. On coronation day, many turned on their radios at 5 a.m. to catch the service from Westminster Abbey while others went to church. A parade gathered at Ridge Street, led by the Norwood town band, colour parties from the Canadian

Legion and the IODE. The parade made its way to the fairgrounds witnessed by large crowds.

Marching behind the colours came three floats and school children from schools in Dummer and Asphodel. Represented in the parade were the Loyal Orange Lodge, the Home and Schools Association and the Lions Club. Later that day, the Lions and Legion battled it out in a ball game.

There were foot races and free pop and ice cream for all the children. And in the evening the Armoury was full of people who danced to

the music of the Art Jones Orchestra.

Time has a habit of bringing about change, but some things remain constant. In this Diamond Jubilee Year, the Royal Canadian Legion and the IODE will be holding a gala dinner on September 22 commemorating not only the queen’s accession to the throne but also the bi-centennial of the War of 1812.

Tickets can be obtained from the Norwood Legion, 705-639-2374 but must be purchased by September 18.

Rob Gordon, Norwood

they hated every minute in the city and both died unhappy in their last years.

My oldest sister is in the same situation. She wants to live where she knows the area, her bank, her church and her friends. My husband and I are 80 this year; we are lucky to be able to enjoy our Havelock home which we built, but our government has realized we are old and so we had to be tested for driving.

It seems our government realizes the elderly need help but not in the area

where they feel at home.

When it comes time to vote you can be sure the elderly in Havelock-BelmontMethuen will remember; you don’t think we deserve to spend our last years where we feel we belong after a lifetime of paying taxes to Havelock and enjoying the life Havelock offers.

Mayor Ron Gerow has worked hard for long-term care. It’s time Havelock citizens back him and council.

Audrey Wrightman, Concession Street, Havelock

Dear Editor, Have you heard? The bureaucracy wants more MPs! We aren’t being properly represented by the flock of glad-handers we have, and our ever-expanding population would apparently merit another dozen and a half well-wishers.

If we had any idea how much, really how much largesse is required to fund the offices and unbelievable pensions of these folks and their hangers-on, I believe that any sober business analysis of accomplishment v/s reward would have 90 per cent of them unemployed.

Roll back your pensions to be consistent with what is the present reality in the workplace: defined benefit pensions are unaffordable, severely underfunded, and thus one more insult to tomorrow’s taxpayers. (Or let’s, for instance, set the OAS qualifying age back yet another few years so that we MPs can continue

to get ours.) You purport to represent us, but are rapacious scoundrels when setting your own remuneration. Don’t give me Christmas cards and parties. I don’t need your recognition of my ability to stay married or stay alive. Give me some legislation, vote on something meaningful. Support some of those worthwhile private members’ bills. Stop being so partisan and get something done while we all have a pulse!

So if you want more members, (until I figure out how to reduce your budget), take the existing “pot” of funding allocated to MPs and divide it by the NEW forecast number of MPs. Let’s see how badly you wish to enlarge the comfy party if YOU have to subsidize it—instead of ME. Yours truly,

Havelock deserves long-term-care home

The election barely matters Saving time any

EMC Editorial - There was never going to be a big debate on U.S. foreign policy at the Democratic National Convention. It will be whatever Barack Obama says it should be, and besides, the delegates in Charlotte weren’t interested. the econoGwynne Dyer my,It’sstupid, and two months before the election nobody wants to get sidetracked into discussing a peripheral issue like American foreign policy. The only people who really care about that at the moment are foreigners and the U.S. military— and even they are not following the election with bated breath, because few of them believe a change of president could fundamentally change the way the U.S. relates to the rest of the world.

Although the Republicans do their best to paint Obama as a wild-eyed radical who is dismantling America’s defences, he has actually been painfully orthodox in his foreign policy. He loves Israel to bits, he did not shut down the Afghan war (or Guantanamo), he uses drones to kill U.S. enemies (and sometimes, anybody else who is nearby), and he tamely signs off on a $700-billion defence budget.

How can Mitt Romney top that? He could say he loves Israel even more. In fact, he does say that, promising to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. But that is purely gesture politics, since almost no other countries do, and in practice Obama gives Israel almost everything it wants already.

He could pledge to spend even more on “defence” than Obama, but the United States is already pouring 4.7 per cent of its Gross Domestic Product down that rathole.

Obama has planned cuts over the next several years that would bring it down to about four per cent—and Romney has promised not to let it fall below four per cent. Not a huge difference there.

The Republican candidate faces a constraint none of his recent predecessors had: a party that really cares about the deficit. In the past three decades, it has been Republican presidents who ran up the bills—Ronald Reagan never balanced a budget, and the Bush-Cheney team declared that “deficits don’t matter”—while the subsequent Dem-

ocratic administrations tried to curb out-ofcontrol spending.

Romney doesn’t have that option: the Tea Party wing of his party actually means what it says about both taxes and deficits. So what’s left for him? Well, he could promise to kill even more of America’s enemies than Obama, but he can’t get around the fact that it’s Obama who nailed Osama bin Laden, and Obama who is playing fast and loose with international law by using drones to carry out remote-control assassinations of hostile foreigners.

So Romney says very little about foreign policy because there is little he can say. The closest he has come to specific policy changes was an “action plan” he laid out during the Republican primaries last year, to be accomplished within 100 days of taking office.

It was an entirely credible promise, because none of it really involves a policy change at all.

He promised to “re-assure traditional allies that America will fulfill its global commitments.” A couple of phone calls, and that’s done.

He declared he would move more military forces to the Gulf “to send a message to Iran,” but he didn’t threaten to attack Iran, or endorse an Israeli attack on Iran. And he can always move them back again if he gets bored.

He said he would appoint a Middle East czar to oversee U.S. support for the evolving Arab transitions. That’s one more government job, but Romney has even less idea than Obama about where he wants those transitions to end up. Besides, the United States has almost no leverage on this issue.

He will review the Obama administration’s planned withdrawal from Afghanistan. Not necessarily change it; just review it.

He will also review Obama’s global missile defence strategy. He might like to change that—Republicans have loved the concept ever since Ronald Reagan’s “Star Wars” dreams—but he hasn’t got the kind of money he would need for a more ambitious policy.It’s not surprising that the rest of the world doesn’t care much about the U.S. election. Most foreigners, on both the right and the left, are more comfortable with Obama than Romney, but U.S. foreign policy will stay the same whoever wins. They might not like all of it, but they’re used to it.

Letter to the editor

The value of learning in a community

Dear Editor, Response to “One Size does not fit all” I appreciate the idea that in education one size doesn’t fit all.

Many schools across North America are implementing innovation and learning around the individual needs of the student, recognizing that each student learns differently: schools like Bishop Strachan Girls School in Toronto, Kings Christian Collegiate in Oakville and High Tech High in San Diego. Others are embracing technology in ways that provide greater flexibility, creativity and collaboration in the learning process, such as project based learning.

In addition, research tells us that learning and building relationships go hand in hand for effective learning to happen for teens (and probably for the rest of us as well). Individualized learning through correspondence courses and virtual learning can supplement and support a teen’s education, but cannot replace the value of learning in community. From what I have observed, relationships of love and respect amongst students and teachers are essential to a rich and life giving education.

There is still an important place for schools in a community.

The phrase “It takes a village to raise a child” is attributed to an old African proverb. Although its exact origin is unknown, it is a phrase that caught my attention many years ago, and has stayed with me through my years as teacher and principal.

The school where I work is founded on the conviction that God calls home, church and school to be the village where we work together to raise a child.

A school can be a place where teachers walk alongside students, providing wonderful learning and mentoring opportunities. Both of our children (now in their 30s) benefitted greatly from significant role models who loved them and helped them grow in their thinking and wrestling with the hard questions

of life and faith. Chap Clark, professor of youth, family and culture at Fuller Theological seminary, says teens need five significant adults in their lives other than their parents. Institutions such as schools and churches can provide these significant adults in their lives.

Children swim first in the culture of their family, learning its beliefs, biases and judgments, both good and bad. There is no question that the family culture has the most significant role in their early years in establishing that initial foundation.

However, as they grow, community becomes more and more significant. As parents our thinking is limited to one particular way of seeing and interpreting the world. In high school, our children need to test and challenge the thinking of mom and dad, and wrestle with the tough questions of life to take from what they have been taught and make it their own. The school that supports the values of home can be such a place.

I realize that any culture can be toxic, whether school, church or home. Culture is never stagnant, but is always changing.

It needs constant attention. Just as each family has a unique culture, so does a school. Every school needs to work toward providing a healthy and compassionate culture of learning and growing, for both the head and heart.

We are blessed to live in a country where choice in education is still available to parents. Each parent is free to decide whether to home school, to find a private school, or a public school. Although funding continues to be fraught with injustice in this province, I am grateful for the opportunity to provide a variety of ways to educate and raise a child. May we continue to work to protect each other’s convictions about educating our children.

way we can

By Terry Bush

EMC Editorial - Everyone’s in a hurry to get nowhere fast it seems.

It’s only Monday evening and so far this week three different morons in jacked up trucks have passed me with oncoming vehicles plainly in sight forcing cars to scramble to the shoulder to avoid head-on collisions. What on earth could be so important as to endanger the lives of the people in five different vehicles? Coronation Street? Steak on the barbie? The promise of a little nudge, nudge, wink, wink?

Despite the fact that we have all these electronic gadgets to make our lives easier, we seem to have less time than ever. Luckily, our friends in the fast food industry are eager to lend us a hand.

Decades ago, when our family used to make a monthly pilgrimage to Toronto to visit the other side of the family, four young boys knew that if they played their cards right and didn’t bite anyone’s ear off on the way home, there was a very good chance a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken might find its way into the car when we within spitting distance of the homestead. We couldn’t sample the greasy goodness until we were in our assigned places at the dinner table but we probably inhaled at least a couple of ounces of those delectable chicken pieces in the time it took to drive from Cobourg to Stirling.

That couldn’t happen today because they don’t really make Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore. Now we have something called KFC. The Colonel must be rolling in his 11 different herbs and spices. Nice of them to save us the time of having to read three whole words on their sign. Same deal with another staple of the fast food industry, Dairy Queen. That name at least implies that dairy products are involved in some tasty way. I don’t know what DQ means to the average Joe or Josephine but to anyone involved with sports, a DQ isn’t something you want to hear. Maybe our Olympic 100-metre relay team has a few words to say on that subject.

Just imagine what it’s like for new Canadians to try to figure it all out.

It’s Friday night, big date looming for our Latvian friend; the girl of his dreams finally figured out what he’d been asking her since they first met and said yes. He greets her with a kiss on the cheek and whispers his plans for the evening.

“We start with a liddle KFC and den go for some DQ and then after a romantic stroll by the lake we finish up with STD. What you think about dat, baby? Baby? Baby, come back. What did I say? You doan want some terrific dancing? Some BK at midnight den? How bout some MW. Doan you like da Miracle Whip. Canada love dat right?”

We drive the 401 to Trawna and take the DVP downtown. The QEW takes you to St. Kitt’s and then with all the time you have left over from not saying the full names of every highway you’ve just driven, there might even be enough time to drive the rest of the way to NF. Oops, I don’t think anyone has shortened down the name Niagara Falls yet. Well, maybe the Americans have because their falls are pretty tiny compared to ours. Maybe that’s why Yanks are so loud. They have little falls syndrome.

But I digress once again. I’m leaning toward shortening things up myself. If the fast foodies and Ministry of Transportation can do it, why can’t I? From know on, when I answer the phone at the office, I’ll no longer say, “Hello Terry speaking,” which is pretty short and sweet to start with. I think I’ll go with, “Dag, TB,” to pay homage to my Dutch wife. That line works both coming and going.

Then again maybe TB isn’t the best set of initials to use though it’s a little less ominous now than when I was a kid. Tuberculosis was still a bit of a big deal back then and some kids thought calling me TB was some kind of childish insult. I could go the full Monty and include the middle initial as making me TAB for short but then again, using the name of a diet soft drink that nobody drinks anymore isn’t really all that sexy. Tab Hunter kind of spoiled that name anyway. Pull tab might be something I could have a good time with.

Maybe I could just shorten down Mister Terry Bush to three little letters that everyone wants.

I want my, I want my, I want my MTB. Good song, good initials. I think I’ll go with that one. Now what to do with the 15.6 seconds I’ll save by never using my real name again. Maybe drop by A&W. They had it right in the first place.

Directors told there’s no Lone Ranger at the table

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - “The Lone Ranger died in the 19th century … there are no Lone Rangers around this boardroom table,” said Derek Nice, past chair of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) board.

He was talking to the hospital board which had gathered for its first meeting in September after a summer hiatus providing them with an educational session about their roles and responsibilities.

“Here everyone’s got an opinion, everyone brings some insight into an issue and everyone’s entitled to be heard … and in fact has a responsibility to express an opinion,” he said deadpan.

Unspoken but hanging in the air were the words “Hiyo, Silver! Away!” as Nice inspired the board which includes many returning directors who now sit alongside two new members, Valerie Przybilla and Dr. Jim Ashman.

Returning this year and taking over as chair is Jill Stewart.

She is joined by seasoned directors Tim Chennette, (vice chair); Patrick Sheridan, David Carlaw, Alex Davidson, George McCleary, Judith Pearce and Gordon Park.

As the former chair Nice added his own teaching style to the education session which began with an unusual prologue: a shocking list of real issues faced by other hospitals and their boards.

A drunken emergency

room doctor, suspension of a pathologist and review of 6,000 of her cases, two mistaken mastectomies, murder of a nurse by a doctor and a multi-million dollar breachof-contract lawsuit filed by former VP alleging pressure to cover up CEO wrongdoings are all events that have happened at Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital in Windsor.

“Imagine how you would feel right now if you were a board member at that hospital,” said Nice.

“There were some serious quality issues at this hospital combined with some governance issues as well,” he exclaimed.

Two more examples followed as he cited reports of the lack of accountability, no enforcement of Code of Conduct and more at Niagara Health System.

Cambridge Memorial Hospital, he said, is a story of a hospital that ran out of money and while that was going on, the board decided to grant the CEO a 41 per cent salary increase.

“So here’s three examples, very different issues, quality at one hospital, culture at another, and serious financial issues at this last hospital … but they all have something in common,” said Nice, “The lack of board oversight and they had dysfunctional boards.”

“They had something else in common, they were all fired.”

His words were meant to impact the CMH board as it begins another year of governance.

about is just to review the things we know already that we have to be aware of so we don’t end up in those kinds of situations. So we know what those warning signs are and we can react to them,” he said.

He spoke of board relationships and the expectations of the board members.

“The board is entrusted with the direction of the hospital … here in Campbellford are we going to be a senior friendly hospital or are we going to reach for that unexploited niche right here in eastern Ontario, sports medicine,” he asked.

For Nice, the formula for success is simple.

“We make sure we have the right people, we make sure they have the tools and we make sure they have their goals and objectives and we stand out of their way and let them do their job.”

Emphasizing the importance of fiduciary respon-

about issues that have been discussed here. We have to respect confidentiality.”

“I want to give the last word to the lady who was

my mentor when I first joined this board. Norma Thompson said, ‘Good governance is fundamental to the hospital’s health.’”

CMH programs focus on quality care and better access

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - Jan Raine, chief nursing officer with Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) provided the hospital’s board of directors with an update on some new patients programs at its recent September meeting.

These programs include palliative care, restorative care, a new Integrated Chronic Disease Management program offered in partnership with the Trent Hills Family Health Team and a nephrology clinic.

“The palliative care, restorative care, Integrated Chronic Disease Management programs and nephrology clinic are all designed to make sure we are providing the best care possible to our patients, while also making sure they have greater access to a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers,” said Raine.

The new palliative care initiative means all patients who go to CMH will receive optimum palliative treatment based on the best practice guidelines developed by the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario.

A number of health care providers in the hospital have received training

and education on palliative treatment.

Nurses will assess patients upon arrival at the hospital to identify those who are in the last days and hours of life and work with individuals and their families to make informed decisions that are consistent with their beliefs, values and preferences in those final days, helping them make decisions about pain and symptom management and other patient needs.

“By partnering with others like the Trent Hills Family Health team and Community Living we are able to extend our resources beyond the walls of our hospital and bring others in the community into the continuum of care offered by the hospital, giving patients the kind of care they need when they need it most,” explained Raine.

Earlier this year, CMH introduced a new restorative care program to ensure that local seniors, who have been hospitalized for an illness and are getting well, have additional supports to regain their strength and return home quickly and safely.

A total of 22 patients participated in the program

from April 1 to June 30.

Currently there are eight patients.

According to hospital officials the program has helped reduce the number of its Alternative Level of Care (ALC) patients significantly.

The program is made possible through annual funding of $262,700 from the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) This is a transitional program for typically elderly inpatients requiring low intensity therapy to improve their strength, endurance, or functioning so they can return to their home safely following hospital care.

Raine told the board the hospital recently welcomed a new full-time physiotherapist, a recreational therapist and two part-time physiotherapist assistants to support restorative care program patients. This added capacity in expertise means the hospital can provide a broader base of its patients with physiotherapy support.

Rain also talked about the Integrated Chronic Disease Management Program (ICDMP).

This is an initiative being offered in partnership

with the Trent Hills Family Health Team and Community Living to area patients who are managing chronic disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or congestive heart failure.

The program is intended for people who have been assessed and would benefit from attending a sevenweek program to enable them to assist in the management of their disease.

The multidisciplinary care team includes nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists and recreational therapists.

As well, in addition to the hospital’s commitment to empower its patients and provide them with tools to self-manage their chronic illness and prevent further deterioration because of the disease, CMH is introducing a nephrology clinic.

This clinic will provide patients diagnosed with renal disease to benefit from consultation and care provided by a team of nephrologists from Peterborough who will work with patients to stabilize the illness and hopefully delay its progression.

Initially, the nephrologists will see patients at the hospital’s outpatient clinic once per month.

More outlets for electronic speed sign possible along Ottawa Street with the sign facing westbound traffic.

The signs are in the municipality thanks to an initiative spearheaded by the township’s community policing committee. Several municipalities use portable speed signs to remind drivers to slow down.

The signs also gather speed-related data that can be used by the OPP for targeted enforcement campaigns. They do not provide information about the vehicles, just the speeds attained and time

of day.

“These boards do get your attention,” said Councillor Barry Pomeroy. “You see them from some distance and you slow down.”

The topic came up during a discussion on highspeed motoring along the Sixth Line of Belmont.

Martin noted that there

are several locations north of the village that have a troublesome reputation for high speed driving.

Superintendent of works Boyd Hill said it would be “money well spent” to install additional hook-ups in selected locations.

“I don’t mean to say that they weren’t working in town. They’re a great

thing,” said Hill.

“We’re looking for staff direction on further electrical hook-ups,” said Mayor Ron Gerow, but I don’t think there’s anything in the budget this year for that. [We] should think about how we go about this.”

Treasurer Val Nesbitt told council that a council

motion on the books specifically dedicates provincial offences to a fund for repairs and maintenance of the electronic speed signs.

Council has asked economic development officer Brian Grattan to prepare a report on additional speed sign locations and the cost associated with electrical hook-ups.

EMC News - Havelock The township would like to find out how much it would cost to expand the number of electrical hookups so the two electronic speed signs could be used in more hotspots across the municipality.

“When we got them we were looking for a couple of different locations so they could be moved,” said Councillor Jim Martin.

The highly visible speed signs are currently located on Concession Street south as drivers travelling north enter the village and in the east end of Havelock

Santa makes special visit to Havelock

By Bill Freeman

EMC NEWS - Havelock Santa Claus “interrupted” his summer vacation to make a special visit to Havelock Saturday to thank the Trent River Youth Organization (TRYO) for its donation to the Smitty’s Christmas Wish team.

The TRYO donated $1,281 raised during its 50th anniversary celebrations earlier this summer.

It was a fitting cause, TRYO chair Jim Chaplin said, given that the original Smitty, Bob Smith, used to attend the organization’s youth dances in the 1960s. Much later Smith would start what became known as Smitty’s Christmas Wish using his own money to buy toys for local youngsters then delivering them shortly before Christmas dressed as Santa. Since his death in 2002, his passion has been carried on by local volunteers.

Chaplin, who started his disc jockey career spinning tunes for TRYO dances, says the group bandied about some ideas.

“To me it was a no-brainer,” Chaplin, who moved away from Trent River in 1968, told the Northwest EMC. “Because of [Smith] being

part of the group in the sixties there was a direct connection.

People were aware of what Smitty’s Wish was and that probably helped us toward raising the money,” he said.

“It wasn’t that we were running it as a fund raiser, it was a fiftieth anniversary and just an evening to have some fun.”

Most of the money was raised through sponsorships.

“That’s where we got real support from the community.

There was just tremendous support from the community.”

At least 125 people attended the afternoon and evening sessions and dance that followed.

“We weren’t really trying to keep a head count but it was beyond our expectations,” Chaplin said. There were people from as far away as Edmonton and Fort McMurray as well as the United States.

“Some I hadn’t seen for 50 years.”

The TRYO brought local and cottage youth together in a way that created friendships for life, Chaplin says.

“To us as teens it was very important. We used to just hang out around the old

Sedgwick house and got to thinking that we should have teen dances.”

They made arrangements with the Women’s Institute to use their hall and launched the dances.

“It brought a lot of people together.”

“That’s where I started disc jockeying, for these dances.

As they aged some of them started to get married and I started doing weddings. I’ve been disc jockeying ever since.

That’s where it all started.”

“We were pleased with the way it turned out.”

“Smitty was a really good friend. I grew up with him,” TRYO treasurer Dianne Reid of Millbrook added.

“The reunion was such a success; a lot more people came through than we thought,” she said.

“As a teen it meant a lot of great memories. I met a lot of wonderful people and being a cottager I met a lot of people from the village and we all became such great friends.”

It was Santa’s “first pickup for the Smitty’s fund,” Miz Watson said.

“It was a very nice gesture. A lot of them were Trent River and Havelock people so

they thought of us which was wonderful,” she said.

“It’s never too early to start planning. We’ll have a meet-

Sixth Line from Highway Seven there wasn’t a sign from there to County Road 48,” he said.

The first sign on the Sixth Line, one stating a speed limit of 60 Kmh, was north of County Road 48, said Ellis.

Ellis was also interested in having an additional sign installed indicating that the speed limit was radar enforced “to draw your attention to the actual speed limit.

“It might slow some of them down for all of the cost of a sign.”

Installing oversized stop signs is “critical,” says Ellis, “because we’ve had so many accidents at the intersection of 48 and the Sixth Line.”

“That [the oversized stop sign] would have to be a request to the county,” Hill told Ellis. “It would need a motion of [township] council to go the county level for a larger stop sign. We have very few of those stop signs in the township.”

If council wants the additional “radar enforced” sign, Hill suggested the township’s police services board provide direction on

where they should be installed.

Hill said he was not sure they were all that effective.

“I just don’t think people notice them but if that’s council’s pleasure.”

Mayor Ron Gerow said the county would rely on traffic volume studies to determine if a larger stop sign is warranted.

Ellis says the county should already have traffic data on County Road 48 and the Sixth Line intersection because of previous discussions the township has had about safety issues at that hotspot.

Councillor Barry Pomeroy said speed signs need to be backed up by police enforcement.

“Signage is great but people don’t pay attention.

It does need to be enforced,” Pomeroy said.

“If people don’t call police about speeding vehicles it’s never going to get stopped no matter how much signage you have up on the road.”

Council agreed to ask the police services board for direction on the “radar enforced” signs.

EMC News - Havelock Speed limit signage and stepped-up enforcement are needed to slow down traffic along the sixth line of Belmont, says Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Councillor Larry Ellis.

The township has recently installed “60 Kmh begins” and “60 Kmh” signs on the concession line north of Highway #7 and will add signs on the Sixth Line north of County Road 48, says superintendent of works Boyd Hill.

Ellis would also like to see oversized stop signs at the intersection of the Sixth Line and County Road 48 but the township will have to work with Peterborough County to see if that’s possible. Council passed a motion to ask township staff to approach the county about the oversized stop signs.

“The issue is speed, as it always has been on the Sixth Line,” said Ellis, noting that upgrades to the road have made it an even easier road to drive fast on.

“I would like to control the speed through signs.

successfully finding ways to work more effectively, the hospital must now introduce new sources of revenue like paid parking to supplement government and other funding,” said Hilker.

Paid parking will serve as a new source of revenue for the hospital and CMH is one of the last hospitals in Ontario to join the many hospitals who have already taken this necessary step.

The hospital’s board of directors approved the introduction of paid parking in March, 2011.

It is anticipated that the paid parking has the potential to generate significant revenue for the hospital— up to $60,000 annually.

The new parking fees are being introduced as a measure to maintain the same level of quality of care and services now provided at CMH. Financially it will help the hospital remain in a balanced budget position.

Film focuses on diet and disease EMC News - Norwood Given the popularity of a public screening of the documentary film Food Matters, local nutritionist and cookbook author Louise Racine is organizing a second film night this month with a screening of Forks and Knives.

“What has happened to us? Despite the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker than ever by nearly every measure,” says Racine, the owner of the Thirteen Moons Culinary Wellness Retreat.

Forks and Knives examines the “profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled or even reversed by rejecting our present menu of animal-based processed foods.”

The film traces the “personal journeys” of a pair of researchers Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.

The film features health experts examining the question “why we don’t know” and tackles the issue of diet and disease “in a way that will have people talking for years.

Racine is inviting the community to the film screening on September 27 (7 p.m.) at the Millennium Room at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre. The presentation will be following by a discussion and light refreshments.

This is a pay what you can event although pre-registration is required.

A recent investment by a family owned company is making business news in Eastern Ontario. NOCO Canada, a family owned and locally operated company has been serving Canada’s energy needs for decades. The company is leveraging their rich heritage in the business with an expansion of their fuel and lubricant operations into the Trenton and Ottawa areas. As a proud Esso and Mobil branded reseller, NOCO supplies heating oil, gasoline, diesel, and lubricants to serve residential, farm, commercial, and industrial customers.

“With almost eighty years of experience in the energy business, we are honoured to have the opportunity to serve the hard working consumers of this region,” noted Mark Yeatman, General Manager of NOCO Fuels Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of NOCO Canada.

With this expansion, NOCO has established more local offices to efficiently and safely deliver high-quality products at competitive prices. With office locations in Toronto, Trenton, Ottawa and Pembroke, NOCO simplifies access for their customers by allowing them to get all of their products from one place.

One major change customers will see is the elimination of a national call center. By establishing local offices and working with local personnel, NOCO is keeping business local and investing in communities. Other improved operations include online ordering and automatic payments, with online billpay coming soon. NOCO’s customers can expect the prompt, courteous, and dependable service they deserve.

As the second largest Mobil distributor in North America, NOCO’s expansion has created a stronger product mix to more completely serve their customers.

The company provides a full line of Mobil lubricants for automotive, fleet, industrial, metalworking, and specialty needs. NOCO also offers a used oil recycling program in some areas to make sure that businesses never need to worry about the proper collection, transportation, and processing of the waste they generate.

“We believe the addition of the new products and new geography allows NOCO to address unmet consumer needs in the territory. Along with our key product brands, Mobil and Esso, we offer excellent service and local personnel.

Our distribution model is strong and this new venture will provide strong value to the consumers throughout the region,” said James D. Newman, President of NOCO Canada.

Northwest EMC - Thursday, September 13, 2012

EMC News - Campbellford - “It’s that time once again … September and we are beginning our fund raising for the hospital once more,” said Judy McLean, the press and publicity co-ordinator for the Auxiliary to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital.

The first fund raiser is a bottle drive to be held this Saturday, September 15, at the Campbellford Beer Store between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Auxiliary members will be there to collect beer, wine and liquor bottles.

“So if anyone is cleaning out their empties from cottaging on the lake or getting their garage cleaned out for snowmobiles, etc. , they can just drop their bottles off in the lot on the fifteenth and we’ll take it from there,” McLean told EMC. This will be the third year for the fund-raising bottle drive.

“We wear our auxiliary jackets that day so we will be easy to identify,” said McLean.

“People can drop off their bottles or take them into the store and donate to us on their way out,” she added.

The bottle drive is the brainchild of long-time auxiliary member Lynne Meacock.

“She is in her seventies and is very active in all of our events,” commented McLean. “She also runs the bingo for us and is one

of our 1970s club members,” she added.

Not one to sit around Meacock is also involved with a group of women in Cobourg called the ’39ers [because they were all born in 1939] and at one point they held a bottle drive that was very successful.

“She was involved in it and thought it would be a good fund raiser for us,” said McLean.

The money raised will go toward the purchase of a portable vital signs monitor. The auxiliary has launched its campaign with a goal to raise $58,000 for the equipment.

Another upcoming fund-raising event is their annual bazaar which takes place the second Saturday, November 10.

“We are already starting to work on the bazaar plans,” said McLean, who also wants to mention that new members are always welcome.

“Anyone can join us just by coming to a meeting, or they can monitor a meeting as a guest, to see if they would like to become involved. It is a great opportunity for young mothers who are thinking about returning to the work force to ‘network’ with other women with very diverse backgrounds,” she commented.

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Hastings - It was a great back-to-school surprise for students at Hastings Public School.

After at least a decade of a swing-less play yard, the school now boasts a silvery and shiny new, four-seat set that draws youngsters to it like a magnet.

The $7,300 unit was the work of the HPS School Council and a village full of community supporters who helped raise money for the project through raffle draws including one that was put together during the final weeks of June with the bulk of the tickets being sold during Hastings’ famous Canada Day fireworks.

That “last-minute” raffle raised $2,000.

“We got a lot of good help,” School Council member Stacey Archibald told the Northwest EMC. “We really wanted it to be in for September when the kids

came back.”

The council received support with the gravel from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. Archibald also publicly thanked Bob Porter who helped with the excavation.

“We are very proud of the outcome,” she said. “Our community has come to-

gether and we wanted to let them know how much they are appreciated. The kids just love it.

“We’re definitely very proud that we got them in here; we just want to thank the community very much.”

Like schools across the

province, HPS saw its original swing unit removed several years ago because of concerns over safety. Archibald says that people buying tickets were surprised to learn the school didn’t have a swing set.

“Every person who bought a ticket was almost dumbfounded that the school didn’t have swings. A lot of people were amped up for it.”

“We definitely wanted to get them back in here,” she said.

The new unit is located in pretty much the same spot as the old set of swings with nice landscaped gravel.

“We are always grateful and excited when accomplished young physicians choose a rural setting to practise the art and science of medicine. Dr. Witt is an excellent, welcomed and much-needed addition to our team. An anesthetist/ ER physician is just what we need at this time. This brings our number of anesthetists in the community to three and I want to say ‘well-done’ to the Recruitment and Retention Committee,” said Dr. Celeste Collins, Chief of Staff at the hospital.

Dr. Witt is an awardwinning physician having received numerous scholarships and awards for academic excellence and practice including more recently a Family Medicine Clerkship Teaching Award and Family Medicine Award in Clinical Excellence.

She is a former member of the University of Toronto Rural Practice Committee and the Ontario Medical Association.

EMC News - Havelock Public input is crucial in developing a plan for the Concession Street tennis court, says Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe.

A report by arena and parks manager Doug Hart suggests it would cost between $32,000 and $35,000 to rebuild the existing tennis court or between $8,500 to $10,000 to remove the court and landscape the area with grass, trees, park benches and picnic tables.

The tennis court has fallen into disrepair and needs work, says Hart.

Any plan to rehabilitate the court would include removing the existing asphalt and laying down a new asphalt surface, removing the existing fencing and installing new fencing on the current posts; installing new gates, painting new lines on the playing surface and put-

ting in new netting and poles.

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.

The township will chip in $20,000 as its part of the contribution. The CIIF can provide up to 50 per cent matching dollars for eligible projects.

“The information is good to see what the costs are for both options,” Sharpe said during their regular council meeting.

Sharpe, like his council colleagues, wants to wait until the outcome of the CIIF application before making a decision “one way or the other” on the tennis court.

He thinks it’s especially important that the community weighs in on the future of the facility and

has called for a public meeting this fall to collect input.

“The tennis courts were a long-standing issue if they would be used or not,” Sharpe noted.

“I’m not really sure it’s something our community really wants so thinking about that I wonder if it’s time to think about a follow-up public meeting and entertain uses for our public parks and see if there’s input from the community on what they might want to see. They might come up with something totally different for that area that we haven’t thought of.

“We haven’t had any comments from the public

one way or the other,” he said.

“Spending $30,000 on a repair job, maybe that’s not something we should be doing.”

Bringing local institutions like Havelock Belmont Public School and Stepping Stone Daycare into the discussion would also be a good idea, Sharpe added.

Councillor Barry Pomeroy is not sure it’s time to give up on tennis and recalled the days when it was a busy spot.

“It’s like baseball and hockey in this town; it has its high and low points,” he said. “Who knows, maybe there are a lot of people interested in tennis.”

“I’d like to see us leave it in and move forward on some sort of public meeting to get some direction,” said Councillor Jim Martin.

Martin says people have asked him about the court.

“Not to say I was flooded with them but people still have an interest,” he said. “We need to think of our options; now that this is out there maybe people will come forward.”

“I think we need to do our homework before we actually spend our money there,” Councillor Larry Ellis added.

Council asked staff to “draw up a plan” for a public meeting.

Lots of laughs at Ladies Night EMC News - Stirling After an unforgettable Ladies Night, committee members planning upcoming events for Hockeyville are hoping for a similar response.

Committee Chair Cindy Brandt says last weekend’s fund raiser was a huge success, and many attendees concurred following the

evening of entertainment at the Lions Hall last Friday night.

“For those hypnotized,” Brandt says, “they were definitely the life of the party.”

But, she says, the party is far from over. The Stanley Cup will arrive in Stirling regardless of current NHL contract negotiations and

there will be plenty of free food and fun through much of the day.

The parade begins at 11:30 a.m. on September 30 and will bring the Stanley Cup to the arena from its starting point at Wells Ford. Once at the arena, the Cup will be on display with opportunities to be photographed with hockey’s most coveted prize. As well, Brandt says, NHLers will be in town to sign autographs during the day.

Festivities run until 3 p.m.

Committee members are also preparing for the upcoming Casino Night on September 29 with tickets available next week at Rustic Routes.

Balloting for NHL pre-season tickets is now complete, following the final day of sign-ups last weekend, and results will be announced in mid-September.

Weather plays rough at Water Buffalo fest

EMC Events - Stirling It got off to a rocky start, but when the wind and rain let up Saturday at noon the Stirling-Rawdon Water Buffalo Food Festival filled Mill Street with foodies and the smell of gourmet cooking.

Economic Development Officer Elisha Maguire says crowds were in the hundreds and despite a trio of early disasters the annual food festival was again well-received by vendors and visitors alike.

“We’re estimating numbers at between five and six hundred in the afternoon,” says Maguire noting the forecast had a direct impact and attendance was well down from previous years.

“But we’re happy with the way it went considering the weather,” she says.

Winds and rain were responsible for knocking out three vendors from the Italian food festival, including West Wings, Fatty Bo Batty’s and Bio Essential Botanicals, who suffered devastating equipment and structure failures. All three were forced to withdraw despite having an abundance of fresh food and drink for the hundreds of paying visitors.

Organizer Mary Louise Belanger says the early

mishaps were extremely unfortunate, voicing her sympathies for the affected participants, but as the day progressed, she says, the news was nothing but good.

Maguire says the weather played havoc on several weekend functions throughout the county causing some cancella-

tions and much smaller than anticipated crowds.

In the case of the Water Buffalo Food Festival, she says, future events will have a secondary plan to protect vendors in the event of poor weather and reduce the chance of damage, noting several options are currently under consideration.

from the Hastings County Beer Festival were also on hand, promoting some of the craft beers and wines that will be available at the upcoming event beginning October 13 at Farmtown Park.

Visitors were provided with ten taste tickets as well as a ballot to choose a favourite vendor. Results had not been tallied early this week but, Maguire says, will be

By Richard Turtle

EMC News - Stirling Local resident Joseph Way thinks Stirling-Rawdon Police Chief Brian Foley should face criminal prosecution and he is asking the Police Services Board to investigate.

In a delegation before the board this week, Way was critical of the Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) hearing, addressing Foley’s provision of a canister of pepper spray to a private citizen, as well as the outcome. The OCPC directed the local PSB to hand down a three-day suspension following the disciplinary hearing and an admission by the chief to a charge of discreditable conduct. And while that was far short of steps that should have been taken, Way said, he was also curious when and whether the chief’s suspension had been served. Board Member Rodney Cooney, who chaired the meeting, indicated that was a matter for caucus that, in all likelihood would be part of that evening’s session.

But Way says it’s not enough, suggesting a charge of Trafficking in a Prohibited Weapon which carries a minimum sentence of three years in prison.

Way was also critical of OCPC lawyers who, he says, failed to provide any evidence against Foley but instead merely listened to submissions made by friends of the chief. When asked whether or not the board or any of its members had submitted a letter in defence of the police chief, Cooney said the board and secretary had no recollection of one.

During his delegation,

Way says Foley suspension too soft Way also said there was much that did not come out at the disciplinary hearing in Toronto including the identity of Mr. Z and Mrs. K. In naming them, Way suggested there was far more to the incident than OCPC officials were made aware.

In fact, he says, Mr. Z was unaware of any allegations prior to the hearing.

Way then asked the board to investigate the matter further before thanking them for the opportunity to speak.

Board members were in full agreement with a revamping of current communications between the department and board, presenting a package template for consideration.

PSB members were provided

with copies of a regular police report from another department showing breakdowns and numbers that, Cooney says, have relevance here but are not always reported.

In particular, Cooney says, overtime hours, holidays and ongoing and scheduled activities such as school and foot patrols should all be included in regular commu-

nications between the police chief and the board. Foley agreed the information requested could be easily included on a regular basis.

Wilfred Shier was also strongly in favour of more detailed reports to the board, adding it is important for the chief to know what his officers are doing and that they are actually getting out

Cooney insistent on forum for input

By Richard Turtle

EMC News - Stirling - Despite feeling some heat to eliminate it, Stirling-Rawdon Police Services Board (PSB) member Rodney Cooney wants to continue the practice of a question and answer session at the end of public meetings.

“I really believe in question period,” Cooney said to a packed council chamber at Monday’s regular PSB meeting, and despite being “under pressure to get rid of it,” he says, “my decision is it should stay.”

Formal delegations will still require notice, but questions and comments from the public will be encouraged. “Constructive criticism and constructive questions are all good,” Cooney said.

But speakers will be limited, both in time and in the nature of their comments. Personnel issues are off limits, he says, and approximately 15 minutes will be set aside at the end of each public meeting inviting comments from the floor.

Differing opinions, he adds, are always welcome, “but there has to be a question there.” And those

questions will not necessarily be answered at the time but there will be a board response, he says.

“After 21 months on, well, off and on the board,” Cooney says, “I have more questions now than when I started here.”

Monday evening several residents took the opportunity to speak, making comments and asking questions about hiring practices and procedures, police forces’ cross-jurisdictional exchange of information during special investigations and police-media relations.

The board was also asked, and the

question remained unanswered, how many of the ten members of the local police service have postsecondary educations.

Cooney also spoke of his own frustrations with the process and the Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) as well as the exact intention of rules outlined in the Police Services Act. In cases where there is room for interpretation, Cooney says, he has been advised to seek a legal opinion, and for small municipalities that can amount to significant costs “and that comes back to the ratepayers.”

Jack Lake parking issue eased following action

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Havelock Measures taken by the township to address traffic congestion on the Jack Lake road allowance appear to be working and the municipality will take additional steps that should improve the situation even more.

What the municipality hasn’t done is declare the area a no parking zone, a suggestion made by some area residents when the is-

R0011606926

Ow fOr Order nn this year atiO install

sue was first discussed by HBM and North Kawartha councils in 2006 but one a majority of ratepayers oppose.

Opposition by lake residents to a “no parking” initiative was emphasized during presentations by delegations at a May 14 council meeting. That position was backed up by emails to the municipality and councillors.

What the municipality has done is deal with the issue of encroachments which had “constricted” the area available for parking and amplified concerns about safety and access for emergency vehicles.

The challenge, says clerk Glen Girven, was: “If there was not going to be no parking restrictions how can we make it better so we could help keep the road clean and at the same time make parking a little bit better?”

The answer was addressing long-standing encroachment issues by surveying the road allowance to determine the property lines and where it was practical re-

moving the encroachments.

“The encroachments are gone, that has helped significantly,” Girven told council.

The township will now spread gravel to improve the parking area, removing topsoil on the east portion of the road allowance and replacing it with gravel to “provide a more solid base.”

Signage to encourage parallel parking and to urge drivers to watch for pedestrians is also proposed.

“The major concern I heard all along was to make sure there was an avenue left open for emergency vehicles,” said Mayor Ron Gerow.

“That was my main concern, that’s been addressed; the issue with encumbrances on the road allowance, especially down by the water, has been removed,” Gerow said.

“I was up there twice this summer [and] I haven’t heard any issues up there.”

“The improvements on our side will allow a little more depth for cars to move in,” Deputy-mayor Andy

Sharpe added.

“The gravel and cleaning up of the shoulders helps, superintendent of works Boyd Hill said.

“There has to be a couple of signs that say ‘parallel parking only’ on our side.

They’re parking at 90 per cent perpendicular (on the North Kawartha side); if our side starts to do that then we’ve got a problem again.

“Two signs with ‘parallel parking only’ would keep that avenue open for emergency vehicles no matter how many park there,” said Hill.

“It was clear we listened to residents,” Gerow said, noting the opposition to a ‘no parking’ solution.

“We have covered off our duties and obligations and the rest is up to the general public in terms of how they park,” he said. “I think we’ve improved the road allowance on our side greatly and I think we’ve also cleared up some real estate issues that have been a problem for two-and-half to three decades.

And while looking at costs of training, Shier also made a motion to cancel all training outside the area including courses already scheduled and paid for. There was no seconder for the motion.

“I think we’ve solve a lot of problems here and it’s money well spent.”

“I hope the Jack Lake people don’t think this was a make-work project for us,” Councillor Jim Martin said.

“This came to us as a concern and we were dealing with it.”

PSB getting up to speed EMC News - Stirling With the swearing in of provincial appointee Tara Dier this week, the Stirling-Rawdon Police Services Board (PSB) returned to being a fully functioning, though still shorthanded, administrative body.

Mayor Rodney Cooney, recently reinstated following an Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) investigation, took the chair this week but has no intention of retaining that position, he says. With the pending appointment of a second citizen member of the board, Cooney says, a decision will be made regarding the chairperson.

Greg Oliver, still awaiting the outcome of an OCPC investigation, held the position before interim chair Lianne Radocsay was named. Radocsay no longer sits on the board.

But with three permanent members of five in place, the local police services board now constitutes a quorum and, Cooney says, “it’s time to move forward.”

The next PSB meeting, where a second provincial appointee is expected to be named, has been rescheduled because of its falling on a holiday Monday, and will be held Tuesday, October 9, at the EOC Room of the Emergency Services Building at 7 p.m.

lunch.

After our hour-long lunch break, we continued on our way and soon crossed the Cascade Trestle, the highest bridge (137 feet above Cascade Creek) on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. We then encountered Tanglefoot Curve before arriving at Cumbres, the highest point on the route.

As we approached the Cumbres station, I noticed a dog sitting on a four-wheeler by the track with its owner, and the dog was barking and apparently “welcoming” us.

I was told that the dog was named Bandit and that he was the honorary “mayor” of Cumbres! He was there to greet the daily train.

After our brief stop with the mayor in Cumbres, Colorado, we soon reached Windy Point, where the rails are laid out on a rock shelf, carved out of the face of a cliff. We then crossed the border again into New Mexico, for the last time, and here we encountered the second highest bridge on the line, the Lobato Trestle, 100 feet above Wolf Creek.

As we crossed this bridge, the whistle blew, and the steam sprayed out, making for a nice photo op. This was made even better when a rainbow suddenly appeared over the trestle!

As we rode on the twisting, curving rails, I noticed we were being followed by a water tank, for it was a safety measure; it would put out any cinders or sparks from the train. I also noticed that there were two special cars attached to our train: a Parlour Car at the rear for fine dining and more luxurious seating, and an Open Car where riders could enjoy being in the fresh air—and smelling (and perhaps even feeling) the steam and coal.

If requested in advance, special cars with lifts for people with disabilities can also be added.

As the historic train wound its way along the line, I stumbled/wobbled along, somewhat like a drunk, from swaying car to swaying car, to reach that Open Car. This proved to be the very best place from which to take photos, for there were no windows to worry about and there was a clear view of the entire area. I looked for mule deer, antelope, and elk from this viewpoint and

I had a 200-year-old Douglas fir, a bat cave, and ancient pictographs pointed out to me.

When we finally reached our destination of Chama, New Mexico, I took a walking tour of the rail yard, for it’s now a living, working museum that will fascinate history buffs. I checked out some of the historic cars,

equipment, and engines on display. I also discovered this particular train ride I’d just completed had been featured in the opening scenes of a movie, “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”; there’s now an Indiana Jones Home B&B located at the other end of the ride in Antonito, Colorado.

The train had an open car, too.

“The knowledge of the game is going to really improve. We hope to do some more things with those veteran players.”

NDHS had a three-day mini-camp prior to the start of school which attracted a large group of returning players and Grade 9 students “who are really going to

have a lot of success as far as a team and meeting some of our goals.”

The camp focussed on footwork drills and cardio conditioning. Thompson says the pre-season is about getting back into football shape and teaching players proper tackling fundamentals “so they are properly trained and safe on the field, especially the Grade Nine [students] who are just learning the game.”

League football schedules were expected to be put together this week and Thompson says the Knights will host another crowd-pleasing Friday Night Lights game. The big change will be a move to a tiered league that will mean NDHS will not have to face powerhouses like Crestwood who they played last year.

“It will help us being the smallest school in the board for football,” he said. “It’s definitely advantageous to have the tiered system rather than playing the big “AAA” schools.

of experience. They know what’s going on and we don’t have to spend as much time teaching every guy.”

Last year the team was “very young” with a lot of Grade 9 students and a small group of Grade 10 students so Thompson sees the 2012 season as a blast-off from last year’s “learning year.”

EMC Sports - Norwood The emergence of minor football programs in Trent Hills and Peterborough are having a positive impact on the Norwood District High School Junior Knights, says coach Rick Thompson.

“We have guys who have played for the Titans [Trent Hills] and a season of Wolverines football,” Thompson told the Northwest EMC as both Junior and Senior Knights hit the field for preseason workouts.

“Now we have some junior players with three or four years of football experience which we can already see paying off with leadership on the field in practice,” he said.

Thompson says there are at least seven Grade 10 players with four or five years of football experience either with the Peterborough Wolverines or the Trent Hills Titans.

EMC Sports - Norwood If all the players who have committed to playing senior football for the Norwood District High School Senior Knights hit the field coach Jim McMillan feels the team should be strong and very competitive.

“We have the makings of a great team if everyone comes out who’s coming out,” McMillan told the Northwest EMC as he watched his team warm up for a pre-season practice.

With virtually no players lost to graduation he says the squad is in “really good shape” and set to build on last year’s successes in a league that merged “A” and “AAA” schools together and pitted NDHS against Crestwood and Adam Scott, two of the premier high school programs in the province.

“We beat the teams we were supposed to beat and lost to the teams we were in tough against,” he said.

With the Kawartha League heading toward a tiered system that pools together

schools of comparable size the Knights should be in the thick of the play-off hunt.

“For the size of the school I think it makes sense to go to some kind of tiered system but we’re good for whatever they decide,” McMillan said.

“We’d like to have a competitive game every week; so would everybody else.

“We’re small [and] we have competed with the big schools.

The question is can you do it week in and week out?”

Taking the field against teams that have twice the roster size is challenging for a school like NDHS; an injury can have a domino effect.

“We had a really good showing against Crestwood and Scott last year,” he said.

“Playing against those good teams make you a better team but there’s a fine line where you’re playing against these teams week in and week out that have bigger rosters and bigger kids [and] there’s the wear and tear on you by the end of the year.

“You want the best competition each week that’s comparable.”

Vipers still for sale, hopeful for next season

By Bill Freeman

EMC Sports - Norwood Sunday nights won’t be quite the same at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre without the Norwood J.J. Stewart Vipers facing off in OHA Senior A action this season.

The franchise is still for sale and has paid a leave of absence fee to the OHA and owner Dave Stewart is hopeful the team that was one game away from the Alan Cup two years ago will be back on the ice in Norwood next season.

“The team is for sale. I would look at taking on a partner,” Stewart told the Northwest EMC. “I’ve had some talks with some

people that I didn’t carry on because I wasn’t happy with the people.”

“It still is the Norwood Vipers and I’m very much proud of them,” said Stewart, a former team captain and defensive stalwart who admits the “labour of love” has taken a lot of time away from his young family and needs a renewed commitment.

“I haven’t closed the door on it. In December we’ll start looking and see if we can revive the team for next year.”

“We never had a year where we lost any money; money was never the biggest reason for this, either starting it or ending it but it was a lot of time for me

and a lot of time for my wife.”

Volunteers like Cal Clarke poured their heart and soul into the franchise and the time commitment was taxing.

Last year was the Vipers’ weakest, with the exception of some all-star calibre players like Darren Doherty and Chris Johnston, in a league that continues to get stronger.

This season the owner of the Welland Junior B Canadiens will have a Senior A team.

“In this league if your second and third line forwards and fifth and sixth defensemen can’t contribute you’re in a situation where you’re in last

place,” said Stewart.

Two years ago they lost the league final in seven games; last season they missed the play-offs. They were weak in net and didn’t have the depth on defence to help out former Peterborough Stars goalie Zach Fryia. Their offence sputtered.

“It was not the goalie’s fault; it was an indication of the team. It was just a very hard year which didn’t make me decide but certainly had a bearing on it.”

Stewart’s had nothing but co-operation from the township and community centre in making sure the Vipers regular ice slot is kept open for next season.

“It is certainly disappointing. This is the time when we’ve already been skating in Peterborough and seeing new guys.”

When Stewart started the club the Vipers had six former OHL captains on the team. In 2004, as a 32-year-old, he had good feeling for local elite talent. Eight years later he admits he doesn’t have those kinds of contacts.

“I feel that sitting on the couch every Saturday night in Peterborough is an Allan Cup team. They’re there. We need our young guys who played for us

MARMORA SKATING CLUB

to recruit for us,” he said.

“You just need those people with that level of experience.

“The team is for sale. I would look at taking on a partner.”

“I’m hopeful for next

year that we get somebody to come in and give a hand.

Maybe it takes that year to step back to see what we did right or wrong …

There has to be a higher level of commitment from people and maybe that starts at the top with me and someone else.”

Stewart is grateful to faithful fans, sponsors and other supporters.

“Don’t forget about us because we’re going to be talking to you next year about some help.”

This is Greg’s third medal at a Firefit National Championship including; he won a gold in Medicine Hat in 2011 and a gold medal in Niagara Falls in 2006.

The Quinte West Firefit team consisting of Greg King, David McCue and Keith Locklin also competed in two regional events this year including Brampton,

Ontario, August 11 and 12, and Longueuil, Quebec, August 25 and 26.

At Longueuil Greg finished first in the Chief’s/Senior Officer category with a time of 1:42:90.

In Brampton David McCue and Keith Locklin competed in the tandem relay and finished first in the over 50 category (tandem race) with a time of 2:30:64. This was Keith Locklin’s final race with the Quinte West Combat Challenge Team; he’s retiring to spend more time spoiling his grandchildren.

Keith was a strong competitor and will be missed by the team. David McCue is planning on running an individual race in 2013 which

would make him the oldest competitor ever to compete in the event.

The Quinte West Firefit team will be returning in 2013 and is always looking for new Firefighters who want to become “fitter, faster, stronger … Firefit”.

The Scott Firefit Championships is a competition based on firefighting tasks commonly performed in emergency situations. The event is very demanding and pushes competitors to the physical limits. The event includes a six-storey stair climb while carrying 45 pounds of hose, 42-pound hose hoist to the sixth floor, forcible entry simulator using a nine-

pound mallet, 140-foot obstacle course, 75-foot hose advance and finally a 175-pound victim rescue a distance of 100 feet to the finish line. Competitors must wear full personal protective gear and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) while racing. Individual competitors must also breathe from their SCBA. The equipment and gear worn by the competitors must be certified for structural firefighting.

The team would like to thank the City of Quinte West and our private sponsors, Copperfields Fitness and Rehabilitation and PJ’s custom outfitting for their continued support.

Greg King (l) sports his silver medal as he’s congratulated by Dale McRoberts, president of Firefit.

Peter MacKay officially opens cadet hangar dets.

“Mountain View has a long history, used since World War II,” he added.

Construction of RCAF Station Mountain View commenced in 1940 and was opened in 1941 as one of 97 training schools in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. Number 6 Bombing and Gunnery School had 531 personnel. Aircraft based at the station included Fairey Battles, Bolinbrokes, Ansons, Venturas, Hurricanes and Harvards. As many as 64 aircraft were based there at one time.

Since World War II,

Mountain View has been used to store military aircraft surplus including the CF5, Tutor and T-33.

The first Air Cadet gliding school opened at Mountain View in 1967 as part of the Trenton Air Cadet Camp. In 1971 the glider pilot scholarship program began and it was named the Central Region Gliding School in 1980, with operations in Picton as well. Over 320 cadets receive their glider pilot wings each year.

“It’s the best youth development program in our country,” MacKay said. He noted that his wife, who was

with him for the ceremony, had been an air cadet for five years, attaining the rank of Warrant officer First Class.

“She outranks me by a long shot,” he grinned.

When asked about the recent announcement of her pregnancy, he said he hopes their first child will become a cadet.

After the official ribbon cutting, guests were invited to tour the facility and have refreshments.

The $8.5-million hangar has 5,000 square metres of space and can house up to 30 gliders and two planes. It also includes 18 offices for staff and two classrooms.

The landing field is also used by other military manoeuvres. Today the C130

EMC News - Mountain View - Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, cut the ribbon on the new $16-million Central Region Cadet Hangar at Canadian Forces Detachment Mountain View on September 7.

“Mountain View is very important to us,” MacKay told the small group of dignitaries and cadets outside the hangar.

He said the new hangar is a demonstration of the government’s support of youth.

The facility and air field is used for gliding instruction each summer by the air ca-

and C17 practise landing on the gravel runways at Mountain View which is also used by the parachutists as a drop zone.

Chair of the Air Cadet League of Canada Thomas Taborowski said there are five locations for glider training across Canada working in partnership with Department of National Defence.

The League buys the gliders and tow planes and DND provides instructors.

“Ontario has the largest fleet in Canada,” he added.

Fred Hopkinson, chair of the Aviation Committee of the Air Cadet League of Canada, said they have 24 S233 gliders and one S222 (for display) and 11 tow planes.

He said these gliders are not

manufactured anymore but are very rugged for training and ideal for cadets. He noted former astronaut Chris Hadfield trained here as a cadet.

Hopkinson added that the new hangar has heated floors, quite an improvement from the original hangar that had heaters suspended from the ceiling. The glider units are used spring and fall as well as summer training and in winter for maintenance on the gliders.

“It is a permanent full-time facility,” he said.

Air Cadet Jesse Nelson, 13, from Belleville, summed up the experience this way, “I like gliding,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun flying around. It prepares us for being up in the air.”

The official ribbon cutting was held with Peter MacKay at Mountain View. Photo: Kate Everson

EMC News - Stirling - For the first time in its 43-year history, the Oak Hills Flying Club will be holding a three-day fly-in this weekend with dozens of airplanes and campers expected.

Modelled on aviation’s well-known Oshkosh event in Wisconsin that draws huge crowds and upward of 15,000 aircraft, organizers here say they aren’t expecting quite that size of a crowd.

“Our event in Stirling cannot meet the standards of the Oshkosh event because we are a very small airport,” Flying Club Member, ultralight builder and event organizer Jim Halls says. But there are plenty of activities planned between September 14 and 16 offering free entertainment for

Celebrate the local harvest

EMC News - Regional The Harvest Moon, close to the Fall Equinox, is the traditional time to celebrate the harvest and Harvest Hastings officials are urging area residents to visit area farms, farmers’ markets and farm shops on the weekend of September 29.

As well, Harvest Hastings is hosting its Celebrate the Harvest Supper at the Tweed Pavilion on Stoco Lake on September 30.

Port Bistro Pub Chef Matt Riga will be preparing a menu that will include meat, vegetables and fruit from local farms.

This is a family event where children are welcome.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $5 for children six to 12.

Check out <harvesthastings.ca> for details on these and other events.

anyone with an interest in airplanes.

While weather will remain a factor throughout, Halls says, planned events include ongoing activities and shows, military fly-bys, a Search and Rescue demonstration, and plenty of evening entertainment. Many participants are expected to camp over, under aircraft, for the weekend and the Oak Hills Flying Club has also made plans for concession stands as well as the serving of meals by club members.

Live music, a rock climbing wall and magic show are also scheduled during the weekend.

Halls is also encouraging local musicians to provide entertainment, noting while the club can’t offer to pay, there will be ample opportunity for buskers to perform

for the many visitors who are expected to arrive from the surrounding area as well as across Ontario.

“Our event is substantially smaller,” Halls says comparing the Stirling FlyIn to Oshkosh, “but is free so come out to support our event.”

Ultralights as well as general aviation aircraft are expected to arrive in numbers for the first-time event, he says, “that has appeal to almost everyone.”

Donations will be gratefully accepted, Halls adds, noting hopes are high the skies over Stirling will be much busier than usual this weekend.

Legion gets another boost from gun collectors

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Havelock The Royal Canadian Legion in Havelock got another solid boost from gun collectors during a Saturday morning show that filled the Branch

389 hall despite monsoonlike weather outside.

“I’m seeing what I can do to support the Legion,” organizer Don Martin told the Northwest EMC as a steady

stream of visitors browsed around the hall talking to the 30 vendors, some travelling from as far away as Sudbury and Hamilton.

“Every time I see a vet I

want to shake his hand,” says Martin, a gun collector for 52 years, underscoring the reason why he was running a second show at the branch.

“We’ve got all kinds of people here, collectors, buyers, sellers. There’s a lot of military stuff here, antique Winchesters [and] a lot of modern stuff,” he said.

“Everyone is very, very happy and I’ve had all kinds of telephone calls.”

Martin says collectors are pleased to see shows at the Legion and makes sure he distributes pamphlets about the event when he visits gun shows in other communities.

The response has validated his desire to organize the shows, he says.

“We’re in a hunting community here; it’s part of our heritage.”

There are also a lot of target shooters in the area,” Martin added.

“What the public doesn’t realize is that we’re just as entitled to shoot clay birds as people are to hit a golf ball.

We want to educate people; we want people to know this is part of our heritage and we

do this all within the law.

“You get to talk to people and this is where you meet friends at places like this.”

Martin says he’s proud to carry on a family tradition something he inherited from his own father and grandfather and one he enjoys with his sons and grandsons.

He has been a competitive shooter and owns gold, silver and bronze medals for rifle shooting. His great-grandfather received a Queen’s prize

for shooting.

“Anything people want to know there’s enough knowledgeable people here.”

The vendors also included a couple of gunsmiths.

“We’re quite happy with the turnout we’re getting and it’s supporting our community and Legion. We want to help the Legion stay open.”

Martin says he hopes to organize another gun show at the Legion Branch 389 early in 2013.

John Glenn, in the background, stopped to rescue this large snapping turtle whose shell had been grazed slightly by a vehicle as it tried to cross Saskatoon Avenue beside Kennedy Park playground in Campbellford. He soon got some help from Trent Hills Fire Chief Tim Blake, right, and firefighter Kevin Fillier. Snapping turtles stand up and try to bite at the undercarriage of vehicles that try to drive over them, often resulting in fatal injuries.

EMC Lifestyles - Gardening in the near north is a tough go, Gentle Reader.

I’m not referring to thin and shallow soils, hard frosts in June and September, deep snow drifts, and branchcracking cold. Those are minor inconveniences that can be easily managed when measured against the real challenge: the pristine beauty of an untouched country.

Perhaps it’s a matter of scale. When you’re standing on a hillside with a panorama of clear lakes, rugged cap rock and millions of trees in front of you, a six pack of petunias can seem a titch inadequate. Still, there is that within which compels many of us to recreate such a beauteous sight in the more confined spaces of our little estates. I suppose, as long as we measure ourselves to a lesser human standard, we can be satisfied with what we accomplish.

We did notice, especially in Sudbury and Espanola,

that the traditional urban planter was much more exuberant than those in our warmer climes. If you could think of an annual, you would have seen it and, in fact, we also noticed quite a few tropical plants. In one Espanola home garden, Mandevilla vines with their fragrant white tubular flowers were happily twining away with bright red Cardinal morning glories and their delicate foliage.

On the island itself, garden mums were certainly the commercial offering of choice. Almost every store we saw had some available.

We learned that many of them were grown locally and so we had to take a trip to visit the nursery. J D’s Garden Centre on the 10th Side Road, Tehkummah, is a completely equipped operation with growing houses, display beds, hard goods and gifts and a privately owned on-site restaurant We arrived too early for

Manitoulin Island #2

the plants but The Garden Shed Cafe was enjoying a good morning draw. We were joined in our stroll by co-owner Sharon. The struggles were the same as we experience in the Quinte area, rainfall, high humidity, bugs, fuel costs and some downturn owing to the economy.

They had a few pests that aren’t that much of an issue for us more southerly folk: Asian longhorn beetle, other hardwood borers and the spruce budworm. There were several other garden centres on Manitoulin and perhaps we’ll take the opportunity to visit them during our next trip.

Garden clubs are well represented with several societies. Every now and then, GR, we writer types will do an Internet search on ourselves. It is not uncommon to find your work being used on a web site without permission, keeping in mind that our work

is copyrighted. Quite often, I’ll find myself appearing on a not-for-profit web site and that’s okay. (29 different sites to date.) However, when my material shows up on a commercial site without permission, then steps are taken.

I remember clearly doing such a search and came across a newsletter from a club on Manitoulin Island.

The quote that sticks in my mind is, “We’re not exactly sure who Dan Clost is but he seems to know what he is talking about.” One does record such ringing endorsements.

At a tourist information site, we met with a lady from the Assiginack Horticultural Society who was enthused about a “Community Blooms” event they had just completed for their district. Participation was excellent with lots of support from the municipality and local media.

At the hotels and lodges,

Reality Check: And the young get squeezed

Sheila Wray Gregoire EMC Lifestyles - Do you think our children will receive Old Age Security when they retire? I don’t. I doubt CPP will have much left to dole out, either. Do you think our children will enjoy absolutely free health care? I don’t. I’m not even sure I will, and I’ve only got another two and a half decades to retirement. What can’t go on forever won’t.

We are currently living through one of the biggest generational transfers of wealth in history, but it isn’t going from the older to the younger. It’s going from the younger to the older.

Never has a generation so benefited from demographics and economic trends as the Baby Boomers. They

were born into an era of relative peace, achieved by their parents’ generation.

That era brought in a period of economic expansion unseen in modern times.

They bought up real estate at low prices. They attended university when tuition was still negligible. They received the best union jobs in manufacturing and in government. And they’ve been promised, and received, tremendous social programs, funded by taxes that everyone pays—especially those younger than Boomers. But this windfall has not, and likely will not, trickle down to the next generations.

Today’s new graduates, for instance, have $26,000 on average in debt. That means putting off buying a house for five to ten years, which also results in delaying saving for retirement. Then they get a double whammy, because this generation isn’t likely to see very generous government retirement benefits.

But the other generational problem is found in the Want Ads: there aren’t enough of them. As older workers remain at jobs longer, they make it more difficult for young graduates to land jobs. Other retired

people double dip, officially retiring but then returning to substitute teach or take other nursing shifts that may otherwise go to those just starting out.

To be fair, if I had the opportunity to double dip, I likely would do it, too. If I needed to work longer in order to afford all I wanted during my retirement years, I would also do that.

You do what is in your own best interests.

Yet the combined effects of a whole generation doing this—the generation that has most benefited from government programs and economic and real estate trends and unionized jobs—means that life is going to be increasingly harsh for the generations coming after. Instead of expecting your children to surpass you, many in my generation are just hoping and praying that one day our children may have enough money to move out on their own.

Is it the Baby Boomers’ fault? No, not necessarily. They happened to be a demographic bloc with huge voting power. And so that generation has voted what is in their best interests. I understand that. But

hanging baskets were popular as were perennial beds.

At Red Roof Lodge, our stopping point, it was clear that the Proven Winners brand was well known and well used. An interesting convention, one repeated in many different locations, was the lack of formally marked out beds. Wherever there was a deep enough pocket of soil, a garden was planted.

On our way back we stopped in quite a few towns along the way, just to see what they were about. Owen Sound was a jewel, clean, vibrant, and almost all of the folks we talked with were open, happy and wanted to know if we were aware of the events that were happening. (And for those of you who remember the radio morning show with Bob and Dianne, you will be pleased to know that their faces are on the street buses.) A few of the others were definitely tourist

Dan Clost sites and the hustle to get the dollars was evident. A few were almost indistinguishable from any similar size town in our part of Ontario but, I’m pleased to say, there was only one that left us with a bad impression.

For the most part, Ontario is an awesome province filled with magnificent sites and wonderful people. To the folks on Manitoulin Island, thank-you for a terrific experience. We’ll be back

I would hope that more Baby Boomer voices would start speaking up about the sustainability of the social programs we have, and the fact that so many tax dollars are coming from those with relatively little net worth and flowing to those with the highest net worth.

At some point, perhaps people could vote for their children’s well-being, and not just their own?

But then I’d also say something to young people, too. Wake up. Too many of you don’t vote at all, or else you vote in the same people who put us deeper into debt. We can’t keep living like this. We can’t subsidize everyone from birth to death. Europe tried, and it’s crumbling. Our lives will not look like our parents’ and grandparents’ lives did. We will have to take care of ourselves. And it’s time that we accepted that, pulled up the bootstraps, and got serious about it.

The great United Way warehouse sale returns Street East, near Haig Road.

Lyndsey Harker, the resource coordinator with the United Way of Quinte, said the popular sale will return to Belleville on September 15.

She said the doors will officially be opened at 8 a.m. with the sale lasting until 3 p.m., but she cau-

tioned that many show up early.

Many show up hours beforehand lining up waiting for the sale to begin, so it would be wise to be a bit early, she said.

In previous years a variety of companies including Wilson Sports have joined the steadfast Procter & Gamble contributor, but this year

Gallery piano concerts series

be paid in cash: there will be no debit or credit card services.

Last year the event raised $48,000 and Harker said the organization hopes to meet or beat last year’s total.

The United Way’s goal is to raise $1,925,000 by December 31 through the sales and numerous other campaigns. To donate or get involved, call 613962-9531.

Quinte West will have their own sale on October 13.

Federal Jubilee awards given to recipients

By Michael J Brethour

EMC News - Belleville A total of 33 residents from Prince Edward Hastings were honoured with the Queen’s Jubilee medal last Sunday afternoon in Belleville.

MP Daryl Kramp handed out the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals, which totalled a full score more than his provincial counterpart handed out just a couple of weeks previous.

Medals were presented

at a formal ceremony and reception at the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Belleville Sunday afternoon. Each was honoured for longstanding contributions to the community. The local group is among 60,000 citizens across Canada who will receive the Diamond Jubilee Medal.

“So many residents of Prince Edward-Hastings have given so much of themselves to others and to our country. Today I was honoured to present thirty-

three of these wonderful people with a the Queen’s Jubilee medal,” said Kramp.

The Jubilee medal pays special tribute to Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years on the throne and honours her life-long commitment to her responsibilities by recognizing those who have made significant contributions to Ontario and Canada.

“You have been nominated by your peers and your colleagues because of your ideals and devotion to ser-

vice. You are recognized for your individual leadership and make significant contributions to your neighbours, to our community and society at large,” stated Kramp to the gathered recipients.

Over 100 people were packed into the small room at the Fairfield Inn for the special ceremony, which included nominators and family members of the recipients.

The Importance of Being

Earnest by Oscar Wilde will launch our season on October 11. Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, two young upper-class Englishmen, bend the truth about their lives in order to add excitement and avoid responsibility. Enter the domineering Lady Brackness, and two young women both determined to marry a man named “Ernest” and you have Oscar Wilde’s “trivial comedy for serious people.”

Our second show, Sea Marks, by Gardner Mackay, is a love story that predates email, cell phones and dating web sites; it is a story of

Bedtime Stories is an ingenious comedy by a wellloved Canadian playwright, Norm Foster. He intertwines a number of different stories that all feature a bed as their primary focus.

Beginning April 4 is the play Art by Yasmina Reza.

When Marc buys a very expensive painting by a popular modern artist, his best friend, Serge, thinks he’s crazy and the painting is a joke.

As their arguments become more personal, they border on destroying their relationship.

We end the season with a musical favourite The King and I by Rogers and Hammerstein. It is based on Anna and the King by Margaret Landon, with original choreography by Jerome Robbins.

The glorious music and lyrics

by Rogers and Hammerstein include Getting to Know You, Whistle a Happy Tune, and Hello, Young Lovers.

When literacy goes digital in the lives of children

By Susan Ramsay

EMC Lifestyles - What is a parent to do? We have heard the news. Both the Canadian Paedeatric Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics have looked at the research linking television and screen time with healthy child development.

Their recommendations?

Children who are two years old or younger should watch no television or other digital screens. Daily screen time for preschoolers should be no more than one to two hours. <www.caringforkids. cps.ca/handouts/limiting_screen_time_at_home>; Media and Children from American Academy of Pediatrics, <www.aap.org/en-us/

advocacy-and-policy/aaphealth-initiatives/Pages/ Media-and-Children.aspx>.

For many parents and caregivers these statements have been challenging to accept. Especially in this digitally explosive age of tablets, iPods, digital cameras, smart phones, computers, Skype and YouTube, is it possible to shelter our young children from screens? Screens now include more than televisions, videos or DVDs. Recognizing that screen technology is ubiquitous, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the Fred Rogers Centre, after three years of study, published a position paper to guide early learning

and childcare educators’ use of technology in classrooms and programs. Their paper offers insight for parents, grandparents and caregivers too.

Children learn through real-life exploration, creative play, physical activity, conversation and social interaction. “Access to technology tools and interactive media should not exclude, diminish, or interfere with children’s healthy communication, social interactions, play and other developmentally appropriate activities with peers, family member and teachers.” NAEYC and Fred Rogers: Technology and Interactive Media as Tools in Early Childhood Programs

Serving Children from Firth through Age 8, <www.naeyc. org/files/naeyc/PS_technology_WEB.pdf>.

What does this mean? It means that the selection of any developmentally appropriate technology for preschoolers must be paired with a focus on how that technology is used. Parents, for example, can enhance their child’s learning by exploring a bird call web site with their child to help identify the bird they just heard.

Parents might also play with their child using a tablet art program to discover what colour can be made by mixing red and yellow on their screen. This type of screen time can support children’s

thinking, language and fine motor skills, especially when reinforced and compared with mixing colours using play dough, paint or coloured water. Conversely, parents or caregivers who frequently encourage their child to keep busy by sitting quietly in front of the television, or by playing their computer or video games alone, are creating stumbling blocks to their child’s healthy social, emotional, cognitive and physical development.

Though early childhood educators are discouraged from using any technology with infants and toddlers in their programs, the authors of the position paper recognized that there may be a few developmentally appropriate uses of technology for infants and toddlers at home.

Parents and toddlers may use Skype to communicate with family. They may view digital photos and talk about the pictures together, or share ebooks. But even these screen

The theatre in this case happens to be Brighton Barn Theatre, which continues its tenth anniversary season with the comedy Academia Nuts—a fine example of the three Rs: readin’, ’ritin’ and romance.

Director Kathy Lacasse (Over The River And Through The Woods, Luxury Cruise) has assembled a wonderful cast who all have a fine understanding of what makes comedy work. Linda Sacchett, one of the cuckoo Pigeon sisters in last year’s The Odd Couple, plays the comical Tammi, a gal who

has made a lot of poor life choices that have now come back to haunt her. She meets up with Judith (Pat Dunn in her first major role with BBT) in the living room of Professor Peter Smedfordson, a true academic whose main concern until then had been to have another book published. Next into the mix comes Stewart … and then things really get crazy.

Colin Griffiths takes on the role of Stewart, a de-frocked academic and loveable rogue.

Griffiths has graced Brighton’s stage many times, including in this summer’s The Ghosts Are Back. Between the three of them, they manage to turn Peter’s life upside down. Peter is played by Jeffrey Van de Kleut, who although new to BBT, is familiar to audiences in Belleville and Trenton.

The ABCs of comedy are well covered in Academia Nuts says Lacasse: action, brio and crazy characters.

So where do Hoosiers and strip poker fit in? To find out, you’ll have to come and see for yourself. Tickets are available by calling 613-4752144; check the theatre’s web site at <www.brightonbarntheatre.ca>. The production runs three weekends from September 28 to October 14 for ten shows.

experiences, they advise, need to be used judiciously, echoing our physicians’ warnings.

As parents and caregivers we can ask ourselves: • Does the technology and electronic media my child uses build his or her social relationships and nurture conversation?

• Does it require my child to interact and engage rather than become passive or act in repetitive mindless ways?

• Does exposure to technology match my child’s developmental needs?

Parents and educators are encouraged to think not only about if and what technology is shared with children, but also how we offer technology to young children. In the words of the NAECY and Fred Rogers Centre position paper, “Passive use of technology and any type of screen media is an inappropriate replacement for active play, engagement with other children, and interactions with adults.”

Artisans shine despite mixed weather

Frederick Winston sits by one of his painting during the North of Seven Artists’ show that was held in a restored century barn located on the North School Road just north of Havelock.

North of Seven artist Christina Hebor shows off some of her work during their most recent show inside a century barn located on the North School Road a few kilometres north of Havelock.

By Bill Freeman

EMC Lifestyles - Havelock - The North of Seven Artisans held their own against Mother Nature over the weekend shielding from torrential rain in a pictureperfect and watertight century barn with the adjacent fields open for Sunday’s portion of the show.

“I can’t believe that it’s raining like this after two months without any serious rain,” group founder Judy Moretton said with a laugh.

Saturday’s rain cut the number of displays with 16 artists expected for the two days which is another terrific success for the burgeoning group which captivated visitors with their first-ever art in the park show in the heart of Havelock this summer. That show attracted 24 artists and artisans.

“We’re trying to get permission for a two-day show next year,” Moretton told the Northwest EMC. “Everyone said they had more visitors and more sales than anywhere else. There really was a nice steady flow of people.”

“It was really good, people liked it and it was good to be out in the town. A lot of people had never seen us before,” artist Judy MacMillan added.

“There was a couple there from Germany who have cottaged in Havelock for years and they were really glad to see something at the park,” she said.

“A lot of people said they would like to see something going on there every weekend.”

“The art has brought us together,” MacMillan says of the group which represents a range of ages, backgrounds and artistic enthusiasms.

“I love these people. A lot of times with groups there’s competition going on but we don’t have any of that.

Everybody has a positive attitude,” The North of Seven group continues to grow, MacMillan says, and more people seem to be aware of what they are all about.

“People are calling Judy all the time and are interested in what is happening.

More people are aware of the group and what it does.”

“Everything in here is beautiful,” artisan Christina Hebor said.

Hebor is a multi-talented artisan with a strong focus on crochet work although there is also jewellery.

“I love trying new things; I like to challenge myself.

I do painting but I haven’t

done a lot. I try not to rule anything out until I try it once but my first love is crocheting.”

The North of Seven group will hold another show November 3 and 4 at the Old Stone Hall on Highway #7 east of Havelock, and continue to paint together Wednesdays at the Odd Fellows Hall in Havelock.

Park helped hundreds of visitors celebrate Grandparents Day. Guests of all ages were treated to the special demonstrations and displays set up in Heritage Village with the numerous other museum buildings buzzing with activity throughout the day Sunday. Farmtown Park Board President Ron Reid was pleased with the turnout and, addressing a small crowd near the end of the afternoon, thanked the many volunteers and supporters who provided spinning demonstrations, beekeeping displays, a petting zoo and a merry-goround for the youngsters.

Also on hand were special guests the Odessa Mater and Sparky the StirlingRawdon Fire Department mascot. Several members of the department were also set up in front of the museum’s display of antique fire equipment, offering stickers, pens, fire hats and books to visitors as well as a chance to pose for a photo with Sparky.

Event co-ordinator Harry Danford also commended the many participants who added to the celebrations noting, “We’re certainly fortunate to have that sort of support.”

Hundreds of visitors arrived to take advantage of the additional features offered last weekend, including a live musical performance by John Pecek in the courtyard where picnic tables provided some of the preferred seating.

Retired teacher Marilyn Girdwood also got an op-

portunity to return to the classroom as she offered visitors some historical insights into the school days of generations ago.

Girdwood first taught in the Smiths Falls area, including in a one-room schoolhouse there, before retiring in Brighton where she continues to offer her services as a tutor. But the step back in time and her first work experience at the museum, she says, was an extremely enjoyable and reflective afternoon.

Grandparents Day also offered a few surprises with the winning tickets drawn for a toy raffle offering a bicycle, riding tractor and a pair of remote control vehicles.

None of the winners attended, however, so prizes could not be immediately awarded. Tickets were sold throughout the summer and drawn Sunday by Hastings County Queen of the Furrow Brianna Dracup, who welcomed guests and spoke of her pending trip to the International Plowing Match to vie for the provincial title as well as her work as Hastings County Queen.

Raffle winners were Jane Stella, Bill Clark, Cassandra Wright and Jacob Detlor.

Reid says the season, now winding down, has been a busy one at Farmtown Park but events including Agribition, Agricultural Wall of Fame induction ceremonies and the Second Annual Hastings County Beer Festival are all scheduled for the Please see “Farmtown” on page B15

EMC Events - Trenton The horrendous winds and torrents of rain on September 8 destroyed any possibility of the 22nd Scottish-Irish festival going on at Centennial Park to the disappointment of organizers and hundreds

of Celtic music fans.

“We ended up cancelling the whole day on Saturday,” said chair Beth Cleaton. “The park was under water, vendors’ areas were a total mess with water up to the knees. We did have a rain plan, however, when the weather turned to

PSB getting up to speed

EMC News - Stirling With the swearing in of provincial appointee Tara Dier this week, the StirlingRawdon Police Services Board (PSB) returned to being a fully functioning, though still shorthanded, administrative body.

Mayor Rodney Cooney, recently reinstated following an Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) investigation, took the chair this week but has no intention of retaining that position, he says. With the pending appointment of a second citizen member of the board, Cooney says, a decision will be made regarding the chairperson.

Greg Oliver, still awaiting the outcome of an OCPC investigation, held the position before interim chair Lianne Radocsay was named. Radocsay no longer sits on the board.

But with three permanent members of five in place, the local police services board now constitutes a quorum and, Cooney

says, “it’s time to move forward.”

The next PSB meeting, where a second provincial appointee is expected to be named, has been rescheduled because of its falling on a holiday Monday, and will be held Tuesday, October 9, at the EOC Room of the Emergency Services Building at 7 p.m.

monsoon type winds that was another story. The wind was so strong it actually blew over the Castle walls and the lattice walls around the stage.”

Cleaton said it was very heartbreaking to have to make the decision to cancel the event for the first time in 22 years.

“Next year we will be back bigger than ever,” she promised.

Colleen Vickers, special events co-ordinator for the city agreed, “Yes, it was a huge disappointment but we had to cancel due to the heavy rains and winds. The park was flooded. Hopefully next year the weather co-operates.”

Despite downpours of rain on Saturday, the festival had a very successful military tattoo and concert on Friday night.

brought Celtic music to Trenton, not to be defeated by one day of rain.

Other special events in Trenton have been successful over the summer, according to Jacklyn Grimmon, manager of recreation and tourism services.

Barks by the Bay on May 26 was held in Centennial Park for the first time with an attendance of over 3,000 people and several dogs.

“This year’s event saw a successful move from its original location in Hanna Park to across the river to Centennial Park,” Grimmon reported.

“The new venue was essential for accommodating the growing number of vendors and participants to the festival.”

With the increased space more programming was also offered including the popular Dock Dogs Diving Group and the Ultimate

Air Dogs Show.

Parking was also more available. The committee plans to continue having the event in its new location and growing the festival.

Grimmon reported that the Canada Day festivities held in Centennial Park featured a full day of family activities and an attendance of over 8,000. The Trenton Idol Contest, evening fireworks and outdoor family movie were part of the fun. Several new initiatives included a drum circle, worship service and an area to showcase local businesses.

Some funding also went to cover the new Big Band Festival which was held on July 22 and featured the Commodores Orchestra, Swing Shift and the Brian Barlow Band.

“Overall feedback was overwhelmingly positive,”

The Great Waterfront Trail Adventure on July 17 leaving from Centennial Park had 200 participants with cycling covering 720 kilometres of Ontario’s waterfront and 41 communities. Visitors also toured the National Air Force Museum of Canada.

The Trenton Lions Club provided breakfast and the cyclists left with an OPP escort.

The Bay of Quinte Poker Run on July 28 included the Fraser Park Marina in Trenton as one of its destinations. The event was organized by Poker Runs America in partnership with the Bay of Quinte Tourist Council and attracted 40 boats to the two-day event. A catered lunch was provided at the marina with entertainment at the Ted Snider Bandshell.

Fire department gives away boat and motor

EMC News - Marmora Stirling-Rawdon Fire Chief Rick Caddick says giving away a boat couldn’t have gone any better.

Since the spring the Stirling-Rawdon Fire Department has been selling raffle tickets for a boat and motor and other accessories and the lucky winner was announced last weekend at the Marmora Country Jamboree.

“He was right there in the crowd,” Caddick says of winner Daniel Martin of Little Britain.

“He just screamed and then he came running right up to the stage.”

Caddick drew the winning number after firefighters spent three days on site selling thousands of additional tickets. Funds raised will go toward

equipment purchases.

Caddick admits there is always a degree of risk involved when raffling any big ticket item, but from the outset department members were confident the fund raiser would prove successful and support at community events, including the Stirling Fair, ensured strong ticket sales.

The exact amount raised through the raffle was not immediately available. There are still plenty of numbers to add up, he says.

Tickets, Caddick notes, were a hot item at the jamboree, selling well right up until immediately before the draw.

Having the winner available for the presentation, he adds, made it that much sweeter.

At the Marmora Jamboree, Stirling-Rawdon Fire Chief Rick Caddick stands beside a very lucky Daniel Martin who became the owner of a new boat and motor last weekend. The fire department fund-raising raffle proved a big success with thousands of tickets sold onsite in the days leading up to the draw and the winner present for the announcement. Photo: Submitted
