EMC News - Campbellford - “Welcome to a birthday party to a lady that is 100 years old.”

Those words by the Trent Hills Town Crier (Tom Kerr) resonated through the upstairs of the Campbellford/ Seymour Carnegie Public Library which celebrated its 100th anniversary last Saturday.

Surrounded by library supporters, politicians and dignitaries and of course members of the Campbellford Friends of the Library, a special celebration was held, cake was served and special guest, author Dorothy McIntosh, was invited to speak.

She talked about the importance of libraries today.

“We are all here today to celebrate achievement founded in co-operation, cooperation between Mr. An-

drew Carnegie, the people of the Town of Campbellford and the Township of Seymour,” said Rose-Marie Kerr, chair of the Campbellford Friends of the Library and of the Trent Hills Library Board.

The philanthropy of industrialist Andrew Carnegie laid the foundation for what was referred to on the day of the celebration as “the cornerstone of the municipality.”

In 1906 Mr. Carnegie was approached for a grant to erect a new free public library.

“After much letter writing and approvals a grant in the amount of $8,000 (approximately $520,000 in today’s value) was approved by the Carnegie Foundation on the condition that the equivalent of ten per cent of this amount be spent per Please see “Trent” on page 3

EMC News - Norwood It was a night of distinction, smiles and pride for Emily Angermann and the Norwood District High School class of 2012.

The scholar, athlete and nimble handler of crutches courtesy of a broken ankle on the Guelph University rugby pitch, was the winner of four major awards, including the Governor-General’s Bronze Medal of Distinction and Award of Academic Excellence, and two subject awards and shared the limelight with valedictorian Erik Feldcamp and Selby Memorial winner Jordan Burtt.

“I am a Knight for life and I’ll carry that legacy and hopefully I carry the

name well,” Emily, studying Water Resources Engineering, told the Northwest EMC after a larking photo shoot with classmates.

“This graduating class is better than any class I could ever have graduated with; they are all great people and great friends,” she said. “Norwood is a really small school and I’ve had an opportunity to get to know a lot of great teachers and without them I probably wouldn’t have been so successful.

“I like the fact that I went to a small school because it has that homey feeling; there are so many people and memories I’m never going to forget.”

“Definitely Norwood made me more prepared.

It’s been really busy but it’s been a good experience,” Emily said. “A lot of teachers were straight and upfront with me that university is going to come and it’s going to come fast [and] you’ve got to be ready for it.”

Emily was a star rugby player and wrestler at NDHS and made the Guelph Gryphons as a rookie; she lauded Knights coaches Linda Coons and Aaron Stinchcombe.

“They’re amazing coaches. They taught me a lot and I’ll continue to learn at Guelph. We’re [NDHS] small but mighty on the inside.”

That’s exactly what valedictorian Erik Feldcamp said praising the Please see “Remember” on page 10

Kindergarten class enjoys poetry in the park

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Havelock There is poetry springing from trees in Havelock.

The young laureates in Jenny Pink’s Havelock Belmont Kindergarten class have found literary inspiration in the trees that stand tall in the neighbouring community centre park and last week they tied poems to their favourites as part of a cross-curricular exploration of science and language arts.

“They love being outside,” Pink told the Northwest EMC as her 25 students prepared for their Poetry in the Park expedition.

“We usually take walks in the back forest but this year it’s something new that we’re trying to do,” Pink said of the

tree journals students will keep throughout the year.

Each student selected a tree based on its attributes and will fill their journals with personal observations, art work, leaf rubbings and other details that fit in with their outdoor explorations and inclass work.

“They’ve talked about the tree’s special features and why they like their trees and now they’ve written poems to wrap around the trees,” Pink said. “They’ve also commented on seasonal changes they see in the trees.

“We do a lot of predicting and taking observations and bring that into the classroom.

It’s cross-curricular between science, language and math.”

“They have good ideas, it’s just helping them get it out

and onto paper,” Pink said of the tree poetry.

“Tree, tree I like you …” writes Kindergarten poet Jori Ayrhart who joined classmates during the Poetry in the Park expedition at the HBM Community Centre.. Photo: Bill Freeman Right: Julie Kent Watson stands by her tree after tying a poem around its trunk. Photo: Bill Freeman

Trent Hills library celebrates 100 years ern Ontario Library Service commented, “Trent Hills is a library that is an excellent example of a library that takes advantage of the services to better serve the citizens of this community.”

The library borrowed 1,800 titles last year and lent out almost 1,600 titles using the inter-library loan service.

“The staff here, Donna [Wilson, CEO Trent Hills libraries] and her team has worked very hard to provide

new services by taking advantage of the opportunities we try to offer libraries across the province,” she added.

MP Rick Norlock talked about, “the voyages of discovery and epic tales of history,” that happen at a library and its “vital role in the community”.

MPP Rob Milligan spoke of how much his daughters enjoy the library.

“When I see them open their books up and see the

smiles on their faces when they read their tales and stories, it really does make a difference in their lives as it does

to the lives of anyone who reads books,” he said.

Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan brought greetings

and a plaque to commemorate the occasion.

The three libraries are used by about 4,000 members.

year on maintenance,” she said.

In November 1912 the library opened.

It was one of only 125 in Canada that Carnegie supported with construction grants through his Foundation, 115 of which were in Ontario.

Later in 1993 the “Friends” started collecting money for an expansion raising $250,000 in 18 months. It opened in 1995.

Welcoming guests to the celebration, Kerr offered a quote from Carnegie himself: “Only in popular education can man erect the structure of an enduring civilization.”

“The Trent Hills libraries are some of the best used in the system,” she told EMC. During the celebration the Friends’ Vice-Chair Nancy Wright-DeKuyper listing what the volunteer group has done through its fund-raising efforts over the years such as adding furniture, a puppet stage and puppets, play materials in the children’s area and cushions for the reading corner, funding the cost of computers and other audiovisual equipment, supporting children literacy programs and author visits, beautifying the exterior of the library with garden plants and recently restoring the portico on the east side of the Carnegie building.

“Our recent focus on audio books has greatly added to our collection of young adult literature,” said WrightDeKuyper.

“Adult large print books are always in demand and we fund the cost of rotating large print books amongst the branches”.

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Warkworth The traditions of The Blue Banner Group are a testament to the efforts of women like Ona Carlaw, who at the age of 91 is one of two surviving charter members.

Celebrating the group’s 60th anniversary this year she continues to promote this organization of like-minded women who gather on the first Wednesday of every month (except July and August) at 7:30 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

The first St. Andrew’s Church opened in 1865 with a congregation that formerly held worship services in two local schoolhouses near Percy Mills.

Carlaw is one of about 19 active members led by Sharon Abernethy, who is now serving her third term as president.

The other charter member Doris Meiklejohn no longer lives in the area.

The group was organized in November 1952, at a time when the only women’s group at St. Andrew’s was the Women’s Missionary Society (WMS) which held its meetings in the afternoon. (The WMS group disbanded in 1984.)

“We were a new group that started for the younger women, who worked or had families and so our meetings have always been held in the evening,” said Carlaw, while she sifted through a pile of memorabilia on her kitchen table.

She explained that the group was started by Evelyn Ritchie, wife of the minister at the time, the Reverend James Ritchie.

The name Blue Banner was chosen in recognition of its Scottish roots. Ora Campbell was the first president.

From their popular traditional church suppers to their ongoing annual fund raisers such as the strawberry supper, fowl supper, spring rummage sale, silent auction, Toonie Plant Sale and Christmas bake sale and bazaar (the next one is December 1, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) the women are busy throughout the year.

They also cater the Warkworth Diner’s Club (which rotates among local churches) funeral teas and anniversary and family events.

The Blue Banner Group disburses approximately $2,500 each Christmas to the community and selected missions and as well supports a foster child through the Christian Children’s Fund.

During the past three years the plant sale has raised more than $2,600 for the Canadian Food Bank, which is matched by funds through the Canadian International Development Agency.

For Carlaw though her favourite project, one that is near and dear to her heart, is sending children to the Presbyterian church’s summer camp Cairn, the home of Glen Mhor, Dorothy Lake and Presbyterian Music Camp, located at Baysville.

This summer Jenna Rus-

sell and Amy Newman went to the camp, thanks to the Blue Banner Group. The girls talked about their experiences to the women’s group upon their return.

Some of the children who have gone to the camp, such as Ian and Julia Wood, have gone back to train as leaders, which has landed them summer jobs at the camp. This past summer Julia Wood volunteered her time at a special day camp held at the church in Warkworth.

“Summer camp is one of the more worthwhile things we do,” commented Carlaw, who said that every one of her seven children has gone to the camp.

“Ona has said to me the one thing she really wants to come out in this article is how proud she is that the Blue Banner group has been able to send kids to camp every year,” Abernethy told EMC. The group plans on celebrating its 60th anniversary with an outing in November to The Concert Hall at Victoria Hall to see the Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol.

Both Carlaw and Abernethy agree that outings like this typify what The Blue Banner Group is all about, “fellowship and friendship.”

Anyone wanting to inquire about joining the group, whether a member of the church or not, can call 705632-0824.

Smile Cookie campaign tops previous years

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - There were smiles everywhere at Tim Hortons Campbellford last week following another successful Smile Cookie campaign.

A total of $2,121 was raised, the most money yet in the five years the donations have been going to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation.

“This is a huge number for Campbellford; it’s the largest number we’ve had since the initiation of this,” commented Doug Robertson who with his wife Josephine, own the Tim Hortons in Campbellford and five more in Trenton.

“It’s the community, it’s the customers that have done this. These people have supported the Smile Cookie program. The staff they’ve upsold, they’ve done everything to make it a success,” he added.

Robertson was at the Tim Hortons last week, serving customers, along with his son Jimmy who works in the business too.

From behind the counter he said, “I am here one or two days a week. I really enjoy this,” he said with a big smile.

Campbellford’s Tim Hor-

tons is the first store he opened and that was in 1995.

Also on hand for the presentation of the cheque was John Russell, the new executive director of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation.

“This is day nine for me … and it is so nice to be here so early in my tenure and to be accepting funds from this great organization and great community leader,” said Russell.

“The funds that are being donated today will be going toward the purchase of an integrated wall system [which holds nose/ear/throat diagnostic equipment] which is one of the workhorse items for the emergency department in the Campbellford Memorial Hospital,” he explained.

“With the funds received through the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie program and some private foundation funds the hospital has been able to purchase 14 wall systems for the Emergency Department.” said Russell.

“The message to get out here is the importance of raising capital funds for equipment for the hospital because it is not provided by

the provincial government,” said Calvin Newman, chair of the Foundation board.

“It’s left up to the individual hospitals to raise money for all capital equipment and so if we want our local hospital to have the equipment it needs when you go in for

your emergency we need to provide those funds for it,” he added.

“We are really proud of the relationship we have with Tim Hortons and the long commitment they have of donating each year.”

Act of kindness saves Hallowe’en for injured youth Peewee hockey player laid up with a broken leg and not able to make the neighbourhood trick or treating rounds.

Kevin Hoy, a member of the Norwood Peewee Hornets, broke his leg during a game in Bancroft and will be forced to watch his teammates from the stands for the rest of the season. The injury also put an end to this year’s Hallowe’en dreams, or so he thought.

What could have been an unhappy candyless night turned out to be a demonstration of “heartwarming kindness,” his mother Cathy says.

treating and he wouldn’t be able to,” Cathy says.

Kevin wasn’t able to move around at all with crutches.

On Hallowe’en evening Kevin and his family learned a little bit more about that magical thing called team spirit.

“Kevin was most surprised when we had a knock at our door on Hallowe’en night and someone was standing there all dressed up in costume. Kevin had no idea who it was. It turned out to be Tom Maloney (Hornets head coach) coming to surprise Kevin and see how he was doing,” Cathy said.

Not long afterward there was another knock at the door.

“This time it was Dan Leeper [assistant coach] who was wearing Kevin’s Hornets hockey jersey carrying a big bag of candy,” said Cathy.

Dan had enlarged a photo of Kevin lying down with his cast on and attached it to the candy bag which he and some

of Kevin’s teammates had taken out on a round of trick and treating. They collected quite a haul of treats and personally delivered the bag of goodies to the Hoys’ house on Hallowe’en night.

“What a wonderfully kind and thoughtful thing to do for an 11-year-old boy. Lavern and I were touched and Kevin was thrilled.”

A few days later, Cathy says, hockey mom Lynn Wilson paid a visit to the house bringing a basket filled with treats for Kevin which had been put together by his Hornets hockey buddies.

“We were touched and humbled by such an act of kindness [and we] are very lucky to have such kind people in [our] lives and to live in such a giving and caring community as Norwood,” she says expressing the family’s “gratitude and appreciation” to the players and families who are part of the Norwood Peewee A’s.

continue to support through the years,” adding, “It’s our staff and it’s our community, the two of them together is what’s built this, so hats off to them.”

Tim Hortons outlets across Canada participated in the Smile Cookie fund raiser which saw more than $4 million raised for local charities, hospitals and community programs.

“We donate $1 for every Smile Cookie sold and the money stays in the community, in this case going to the hospital Foundation,” said Joe Clarke, manager of Campbellford Tim Hortons.

Approximately $9,400 has been raised for the Foundation through the Smile Cookie program since 2007.

The Smile Cookie campaign has taken a big bite out of the capital equipment needs.

Next on the Foundation’s priority list are scopes for the hundreds of colonoscopies (about 800) and gastroscopies (about 500) done annually in the operating room.

Letter to the editor

Not again Mr. Norlock

Dear Editor, Another letter to our federal MP. Dear Mr. Norlock, After a pleasant threeweek absence I was welcomed home by the usual mountain of circulars and other junk mail. Lo and behold, prominent among the other advertising circulars was your latest enlarged (and probably cost-

lier, despite these times of restraint) paean of praise to the big blue machine.

I suppose the larger version is necessary to republish all of the photoops that we already saw in our local newspapers. One can’t get too much publicity can one, even if one has to produce it oneself?

It was particularly gratifying to see the list of those

faithful recognized by you to receive the Queen’s Jubilee Medal. Congratulations on your own award.

We really don’t appreciate such belated reports of selected items of a positive nature, in other words the “Motherhood and apple pie” issues. So what about addressing items of a more widespread and even controversial nature? I have a few suggestions, though it seems our government doesn’t really want the opinions and feedback from the electorate on such items as omnibus bills that, under the guise of a budget, radically change our environmental and health protection without providing either the information or the time for our other elected representatives to properly and publicly debate such matters.

Letters

Letters to the editor express the views and opinions of the writer and are not necessarily the views of the EMC. The letter titled “Teflon man McGuinty strikes again” by Rolly Ethier in last week’s edition should not have been published as it contained unsubstantiated allegations.

I understand a number of other caucus members, for example, are having serious second thoughts about the Canada China Foreign Investment Treaty, since some of the inequalities of that playing field have become public.

Of course, many MPs dare not challenge their

leader and risk having their own re-election funding and support whittled away. But they should all remember to speak up freely when the long-term interests of Canada are at stake, as they certainly are under your government’s pernicious policies.

Iain Henderson, Brighton PS: Not only is the latest outrage by Corrections Canada indeed “Totally unacceptable” as stated by Mr. Harper, but so is your government’s hypocritical position as the PM, Minister Toews and others seek to distance themselves from this situation after spending so much of our tax monies in legal fees trying to block and hide this tragedy.

It really was a spooktacular time

Slashing the budget of the CBC and stacking it with malleable appointees means you are misusing funding to reduce a national and nation building institution, that in the past has impartially reported the actions of our governments, into what could possibly be just another government mouthpiece, like those in totalitarian states.

How about trying to justify issues like the roadblocks your government puts before the Ombudsman and Budget Officer? The arrogant withholding of funding to stifle programs and organizations that oppose your Conservative agenda is unconscionable. But it would be nice to see you try to justify these positions instead of ignoring these controversial is-

to the arena with wonderful results. Normally held at Memorial Park, the event took on an entirely new aura and a fittingly eerie one at that.

Sharon Wheeler, Hogan Courier, Barb Davies and Typhany Choinard spread the word for Trick or Treaters to come to the Arena instead of Memorial Park, because of the inclement weather.

John Croskery and Michael Brown created a fantastic Haunted House with eerie lighting, hanging objects and laughing ghosts.

Members of the Youth Committee, Sarah Day, Kaitlin Murphy, Nathan Runions and Gor-

don O’Heir were assisted

by Brandon Woods and Mitchell Montgomery to help hand out candy and scare passersby.

A giant spider was suspended from the ceiling of the entranceway, scary music added to the atmosphere, and a sign warned all to enter at their own risk. Caution tape was in evidence, keeping revelers both young and adult on a course that led from one darkened dressing room to the next.

Screams and shrieks, from children and parents alike, could be heard as ghouls jumped out from behind doors or in one room, arose from a coffin, making one wonder what

awaited around the next corner.

There was candy aplenty, with stops located throughout the thoroughly haunted area which for a time was inhabited by crowds of costumed kids out for fun on a rainy Hallowe’en night.

One young reveler said upon exiting the trail, “That was awesome!” A nearby father was heard to say with enthusiasm, “That was fantastic!”

By 7:30 the treats were all gone and everyone had had a Spooktacular Hallowe’en. Thank-you to everyone who helped or donated to make this event fun and enjoyable for the children.

EMC Editorial “Everybody knows how this will end,” wrote Nahum Barnea, one of Israel’s best-known journalists, in the newspaper Yediot Aharonot recently. “There will be a bi-national The “twoGwynne Dyer (state).” state solution” for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is dead; long live the “one-state solution.”

The two-state solution, promised by the Oslo Accords of 1993, was the goal of the “peace process” of the past twenty years. It envisaged the creation of a Palestinian state in the one-fifth of the former colony of Palestine that did not end up under Israeli rule after the war of 1948. That Palestinian mini-state, in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, would live alongside Israel in peace, and the long, bitter struggle over Palestine would end happily.

That Palestinian state is no longer a viable possibility, mainly because there are now half a million Jewish settlers living among the two million Palestinians in the West Bank and former East Jerusalem. “I do not give up on the twostate solution on ideological grounds,” wrote Haaretz columnist Carlo Strenger in September. “I give up on it because it will not happen.”

The greatest triumph of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his predecessor, Ariel Sharon, has been to make the two-state solution impossible. Both men pretended to accept the Oslo Accords in order to ward off foreign pressure on Israel, but both worked hard and successfully to sabotage them by more than tripling the number of Jewish settlers in the West Bank in only 20 years.

Now the job is done, and it is not only Israelis who can read the writing on the wall. Moderate Palestinians, never all that enthralled with the prospect of a tiny “independent” country completely surrounded by the Israeli army, are also giving up on the two-state idea. As Ahmed Qurei, who led the Palestinian delegation that negotiated the Oslo Accords, wrote recently: “We must seriously think about closing the book on the two-state solution.”

In a sense, the single state already exists: Israel has controlled the West Bank militarily since the conquest of 1967, and until recently it occupied the Gaza Strip as well. Almost 40 per cent of Israelis already support a solution that would simply incorporate the West Bank into Israel permanently.

But what would Israel do with those two million extra Palestinians who would then live within the country’s expanded borders? Combine them with

the million and a half Palestinians in Israel, the descendants of those who were not driven out in 1948, and there would be 3.5 million Palestinians in a one-state Israel that included almost all the land west of the Jordan River.

Add the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who will number another 2 million in five years time, and there would be 5.5 million Palestinians in Israel.

That would mean there were almost as many Palestinians in Israel as there are Jews.

That unwelcome prospect is probably why Ariel Sharon unilaterally withdrew all Israeli troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip and sealed the border in 2005: if there were ever a one-state solution, he didn’t want those extra two million Palestinians to be part of it. He did want to keep the West Bank, on the other hand, but even without the Gaza Strip, the one-state solution would produce an Israel whose population was more than one-third Palestinian.

This is precisely why an increasing number of Palestinians favour the onestate solution. They have tried guerilla war to get their lands and their political rights back, to no avail. They have tried terrorism, which didn’t work either. They tried negotiation for 20 years, and that didn’t work. So maybe the best tactic would be to change the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from an international problem to a civil rights problem.

So the Palestinians should just accept the permanent annexation of the West Bank by Israel, argue the one-staters.

Indeed, they should actively seek it.

They are already Israeli subjects, by every objective measure of their condition. If they become Israeli citizens instead, then the question of their status becomes a civil rights issue, to be pursued non-violently—and perhaps with a greater chance of success.

That is the logic of the pro-one-state argument among the Palestinians, and it is flawless if you assume that Palestinians would enjoy full rights of citizenship once the West Bank was legally part of Israel. But that is rather unlikely, as the status of Israel’s existing Palestinian citizens already demonstrates. They are much poorer and less influential politically than their Jewish fellow-citizens.

A new public opinion poll in Israel by the Dialog polling group reveals that almost 70 per cent of Israeli Jews would object to giving West Bank Palestinians the vote even if Israel annexed the territory they live in. The only alternative is an apartheid-style state where only the Jewish residents have rights, but most Israelis seem quite relaxed about that. The Palestinians are probably heading up another blind alley.

But then, all the alleys are blind.

Letter to the editor

It was never his fault

Dear Editor, Democracy died in Ontario October 15, 2012, and then was quickly cremated.

It happened in an unethical, amoral manner by our selfserving Premier, Dalton McGuinty.

Nine years of lies, broken promises and scandals have now been silenced. The story is he didn’t like working with a minority government.

Letters

Letters to the editor express the views and opinions of the writer and are not necessarily the views of the EMC. The letter titled “Teflon man McGuinty strikes again” by Rolly Ethier in last week’s edition should not have been published as it contained unsubstantiated allegations. We apologize to everyone for letting this letter slip through the cracks.

In a recent interview on the CBC Radio’s The House, the reason he gave for proroguing parliament was not because of his numerous scandals, but he was tired of “wasting time” and the “shenanigans” of the opposition members. LOL. Ever notice how negative outcomes are never his fault? Catch that lack of responsibility?

Why should one man be allowed to place our province’s business on hold for the next six plus months to further his own agenda?

Always Liberals first … constituents second.

Perhaps it’s time to have another tractor parade along the 401 and into Queen’s Park.

Eastern Ontarians have shown they have a lot of moxie. Maybe it’s time it was put into action again.

This secrecy is getting ridiculous

By Terry Bush EMC Editorial - Like many people, I find myself becoming a little more conservative in my views as I get older. Wistful thinking about the good old days crops up regularly in conversations with friends and family. We’re all at an age where we tend to sound suspiciously like our parents did when speaking about the younger generation.

“They don’t know what hard work is.”

“Everything has been handed to them so they don’t know the value of money.”

“When I was in school, we actually had to pass our exams to be moved on to the next grade.”

But longing for the way things were decades ago probably really isn’t conservative in the political sense. I’m not a Conservative because to me, there really isn’t a Conservative Party anymore. That particular political persuasion was corrupted years ago by the Reform/ Alliance Party.

But then again, I can’t call myself a Liberal, NDP or Green Party member either. I like bits and pieces of every political party and until the day comes when a national leader embodies everything I admire, I’ll be forced to choose the lesser of three or four evils.

Actually, like a lot of people not chained to the political party of their parents or grandparents, I tend to look at all the candidates in my riding and vote according to my feelings about that candidate and what he or she can bring to the table. I also tend to look at the leader of that political party and vote according to whom I see as the best potential leader of this great country of ours.

What I want in a leader is someone who puts Canada first. The prospective prime minister of my country wouldn’t knuckle under to other countries at our expense. He or she wouldn’t sell off our resources to keep his or her rich friends happy nor would my perfect PM bend over backwards to satisfy giant corporations at the expense of future generations of Canadians. And my fantasy Prime Minister certainly wouldn’t drag religion into the mix under any circumstances.

I’m still waiting for that extraordinary PM to arrive but in the meantime, I’ll have to satisfy myself on a local level and hope my MP is doing the best for his constituents.

In our readership area, Conservatives rule the day with Daryl Kramp, Rick Norlock and Dean Del Mastro representing us on Parliament Hill. All three MPs are regularly found at community events be they ribbon cuttings, grand openings, local fairs or 100th birthday parties. I can’t speak for the rest but in our constituency Daryl Kramp can be found pretty much everywhere and when he’s not around, a member of his family usually is. And while a cynic might say Daryl is out and about because he wants to be re-elected, I’m sure that’s not really true. Daryl and his family honestly do care about their constituents. They’re a likeable down-to-earth family.

But at the same time, I’d really like to know what’s going on in Ottawa and while we continually receive press releases about what Daryl is up to, I must say that I, like many Canadians, don’t really have a clue what the Harper government is doing on our behalf. Considering Stephen Harper promised government transparency on the campaign trail, that certainly hasn’t been the case.

I’ve been reading that Harper is working on a trade deal with Europe that could hurt Canadian farmers but I really don’t know too much about it.

There’s been talk that Harper is working on a deal with China that could result in municipalities being sued if they in any way interfere with a Chinese company’s profits.

I’ve read that Harper wants to run a pipeline through ecologically sensitive areas to Canada’s west coast despite the objections of Canada’s First Nations who would bear the brunt of any ecological disaster.

We’re told that we need more prisons despite the fact that the crime rate is going down. We’ve been omnibus billed to death with little items that can forever change our country hidden away in bigger bills where we’ll never find them.

We don’t seem to believe in climate change and don’t think we should really do anything about it especially if it costs our industries money.

We pull our diplomats out of Iran at the same time the U.S. is opening up negotiations with that country behind the scenes.

And one of the most confusing things to me is, we no longer seem to want to be the go to guys, the honest brokers we used to be especially in the Middle East. We bow down before Israel every chance we get, even as recently as last week when we (meaning John Baird’s office) called for the dismissal of UN special rapporteur Richard Falk because he did his job and dared to say what we already know to be true, Israel’s ongoing settlement of the West Bank is putting an end to the dream of a Palestinian state. More outpost settlements went up last week.

Baird says the report is biased, a common refrain used every time Israel is criticized. The United Nations and international law declare that Israeli settlements in occupied territory are illegal so what gives?

Are fundamentalist end times beliefs at work in our government because I can’t really see any other reason for throwing our impartiality out the window.

Many of us have questions but we sure aren’t getting any answers.

Maybe it’s time for our MPs to make themselves available at a few town hall meetings to answer some questions about what our federal government is up to. You can bet Stephen Harper won’t whisper anything in our ears. This is probably the most secretive government most of us have ever seen and that’s worrisome on so many different levels. Daryl, Dean and Rick, please tell us what’s going on … if you know.

HBM balks at “priority points” solar farm resolution

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Havelock Township council has balked at endorsing a support resolution for two proposed tenmegawatt solar farm projects in the municipality. SkyPower Global asked council to sign the Ontario Power Authority’s “prescribed municipal support resolution” as part of their Feed In Tariff (FIT) 2.0 application; the resolution would grant SkyPower “priority points” in its application bid.

Councillors expressed general support for the solar initiative but were constrained by the “black and white” language used by the province in the OPA’s resolution which asks municipalities to declare they “support without reservation the construction and operation of project on the lands.”

That was something they couldn’t agree to especially given changes under the new FIT 2.0 rules which offers municipalities more input on green energy projects in their jurisdictions.

“Originally municipalities had little input on applications for solar facilities,” planning assistant Andrea Loyst told council.

Now, under FIT 2.0, Loyst says the OPA is “looking for applicants to receive certification from the host municipality that the property meets

the zoning requirements.”

The OPA’s prescribed zoning certificate for solar is “very prescriptive” and must be signed by a municipal employee who is not a registered professional planner; if the zoning requirements are not met the document can’t be signed.

One of those requirements is that a “non-rooftop solar facility is not or does not abut lands that lawfully permit residential uses.”

There are “few properties that would meet the zoning requirements of the OPA,” Loyst said. Most outside the village are zoned rural a designation that allows residential uses.

“The residential use is not ancillary to any of the other uses; it is the main use,” Loyst stressed. “On most vacant properties, residential uses are permitted.”

There is no section on the OPA form for the municipality to make additional comments, so even if the residential property on the site or on a neighbouring property is not affected by the proposal “there is no place to add that,” Loyst said.

“It’s a black or white question.”

Alternatively, the proponents can hire their own professional planner to verify the property meets zoning requirements.

There are no priority points for the zoning certificate just for the support resolution, Charmaine Thompson SkyPower’s vice president of project planning and implementation pointed out.

What SkyPower was looking for, she said, is “support not approval” and the municipality’s continual participation through the process.

She called it a two-step process and what they asked for Monday was the support resolution.

“We are not looking for the zoning certificate or opinion yet,” she said.

“I’m struggling with this,” Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe admitted. “Our council is in general supporting the concept of solar. Where we are really having difficulty here are the new rules. It doesn’t meet the zoning approval of the township. If you can’t meet the zoning I don’t know how you can support something going forward.”

Councillor Jim Martin acknowledged that municipalities asked the province for more authority on green energy projects.

“But they are giving us something that kind of ties our hands because I do support the solar.”

Both Councillors Barry Pomeroy and Larry Ellis had reservations about the BrilliantLight solar location off County Road 30 near Maplegrove Cemetery.

“Personally I don’t want

it there,” said Pomeroy. He called it the “gateway” to Havelock.

Thompson reassured council the BrilliantLight proposal would have no visual impact from the cemetery or road.

“Everyone around this table supports your concept but we don’t support the lo-

local public library. I’d bike over on a Saturday afternoon or a summer day and come home with a carrier full of books.

“Over the years, in many ways, libraries haven’t changed a lot … and that’s a good thing,” she added, talking about the importance of libraries through the ages and today.

“Especially now with the disappearance of local bookstores and the advent of smart phones and personal computers, it’s not surprising people fight so hard to keep their libraries.

“More and more, they’re at the pulse that keeps our communities humming,” she said.

“My debut novel, The Witch of Babylon, features one of the very first libraries—the royal library of Assyrian King Ashurbanipal,” she said describing libraries as places of “accumulated knowledge of cultures, which is also “their great weakness

cation,” said Ellis.

Thompson noted that each site required a separate resolution.

“We didn’t come with an all or nothing attitude. If one was more favourable than the other we would look for support on that one project.”

CAO Linda Reed said that council has indicated its

“general support.

“The difficulty is the wording of the resolution by the province, the only wording the province seems to accept.”

It would have been better if the province had allowed them to “give some support with some qualifiers,” Reed said.

EMC News - Campbellford - An elaborate puzzle that must be solved in order to locate a missing biblical antiquity and a spectacular lost treasure, as well as alchemy, murder, and the Mesopotamian cult of Ishtar make up the text of a new novel by Dorothy McIntosh.

This Toronto-based writer was a special guest at the recent 100th anniversary celebration of the library in Campbellford.

Libraries are “a place where young moms can get much-needed social time and children are introduced to the magic of the storyteller,” she told guests at the celebration.

The burning of thousands of Mayan early folded books in the 1500s “is one of the greatest tragedies to ever affect libraries,” she said.

McIntosh spoke of how the struggle between different belief systems has his-

“hick town advantage” of coming from a small, caring school.

“There is a connection between all of us that a graduating class rarely gets to experience,” he said. “This is the reason why I love you all and why I love this school unconditionally.

“You know, for such a small group of people we are one heck of a force to be reckoned with. We are leaving this place with the

greatest memories we will ever acquire in our entire lives [and] leaving in our wake one of the greatest legacies any graduating class has ever left before.”

He thanked teachers for their “understanding, endless knowledge and advice and their neverending, never-tiring love and compassion for what they do.”

Without that, “we could and would not be sitting here today,” he stressed.

“You have here a support system that will forever be at your disposal … We are off to great things … Just remember who you are and where you came from.”

Trustee Sharon Patter-

“Doing good things for people is a big part of this school and community,” Hicks said.

Academic accolades for junior students

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Norwood Echoing the words of the legendary Jessie Owens, Norwood District High School vice principal Hugh Dobson and staff applauded junior students at the school who received academic accolades last week during the school’s annual academic awards.

“We are not here to celebrate mediocrity,” Dobson said. “We are here to celebrate students who attained a high level of academic standing.

“These students didn’t arrive here on stage by

accident, they arrived here by design.”

In choosing a path that leads to success, Dobson said, they steer close to words the great American Olympian Owens said: “We all have dreams [but] in order to make dreams a reality it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort.”

And in arriving on stage to receive awards, the Grade 9, 10 and 11 students have made a commitment to follow Owens’ prescription, said Dobson.

Receiving awards of academic excellence at the NDHS junior awards celebration were (l-r) Hannah Angermann, Grade 11 university; Jacob Cailes, Grade 10 academic; Jackson Sole, Grade 9 applied; Brittany Freeland, Grade 9 locally developed; Sam Gerow, Grade 11 college; Jennifer Ribble, learning life skills and Emily Buchanan who received the learning life skills award for strength and character. Absent when the photo was taken were Shannon Bellamy, Grade 9 academic; Vicki Spencer, Grade 10 applied; Daniel Bennett, Grade 10 locally developed and Carol MacKenzie, Grade 11 workplace.

EMC News - Norwood Rob Gordon was almost embarrassed after winning the Norwood Legion Branch 300 Legionnaire of the Year award for the second year in a row and he was for a time speechless.

“Why should I receive this? Other people are doing magnificent things here,” Gordon told the Northwest EMC after receiving the award from branch president Jason Calder.

“I am virtually speechless,” the always modest and quiet Gordon said.

Gordon, among other things, was the brainchild behind the spectacular War of 1812-Queen’s Jubilee gala dinner the branch hosted in September and is a driving force behind the creation of a museum upstairs in one of the branch’s disused rooms, a room that was once part of the former school.

Gordon shrugs off the notion that he is deserving of an award that’s voted on by the membership and that it is an

acknowledgement of the significant work he has done and continues to do at Branch 300.

“What’s significant are the people who helped create the museum,” he said. “They turned a virtual dump into a room [that can be utilized for memorabilia and artefacts].”

“Many were involved, even non-members helped,” Gordon said.

As Legionnaire of the Year he considers himself a representative of all those people.

“These are the real heroes and heroines, not me. I’m still astounded.”

Gordon also praised Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Doug Pearcy for his talk at the Honours and Awards dinner; Pearcy showed a slide presentation of his September visit to World War II cemeteries and battle sites in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany and his participation in a memorial ceremony at the Waasmunster Communal Cemetery in East Flanders in Belgium where RCAF Flight Sergeant Gerald Henry Edmondson of Norwood is buried with his three crewmates. The air navigator was the lone Canadian on the 44 RAF “Rhodesian” Squadron Handley Page Hampden that was shot down October

Seventy years later the Belgian-based Wings of Memory organization initiated a formal ceremony to honour the Handley Page Hampden crew with official representation from Canada, Great Britain and Belgium.

Mayor Pearcy was invited to attend last year but couldn’t make that ceremony. This year he and his wife were able to be part of commemorations at the cemetery, where he had the privilege of laying a wreath, and at the crash site where poppies were placed on the ground.

Doug’s presentation,” Gordon said. “He said things that were very meaningful to me; because of the interviews I did with veterans here [for his book Long Ago But Not Forgotten] all these things came to life.”

Gordon, who served in Germany with the Royal Army Medical Corp in the early 1950s, was particularly moved by photos of Arnhem, ground zero for Operation Market Garden.

“The sergeant of my first squadron jumped at the battle with a hundred weight of medical supplies and was held prisoner.”

Literary star preaches self-confidence during visit

By Bill Freeman

EMC Lifestyles - Norwood Confidence, as much as creativity, is an attribute writers need if they want to see their work published, bestselling Canadian young adult author Eric Walters said during a much-anticipated visit to Norwood and Campbellford District High Schools as part of a Seven Authors for Seven Novels visit to the area.

The authors, Walters, Shane Peacock, Ted Staunton, Richard Scrimger, Norah McClintock, John Wilson, and Sigmund Brouwer, wrote seven linked novels based on an idea Walters came up with while writing his novel Between Heaven and Earth which used his own adventure of climbing up Mount Kilimanjaro as the central building block of the story.

Walters created outlines

for his six literary colleagues who then produced an adventure story linked to the original premise of a grandfather reaching out to his grandson through his will following his death.

Each author visited a school in the area to promote the series then came together for a collective gathering at Peterborough Collegiate.

“The kids are so into his books. I have a number who just love his books,” NDHS librarian June Keating told the Northwest EMC. “He writes for his students and that makes it even better,” Keating said. “No wonder the kids are so interested in him because he writes things they’re interested in.”

“I feel like I know him because I’ve read so many of his books,” said graduate Tori Craggs who returned to

the school for Walters’ visit.

“I was in writer’s craft class last year and we all experimented with writing [so] it’s always good to have another perspective.”

For Walters, a dynamic and engaging public speaker with a long career as a social worker and teacher, providing that “perspective” also meant reminding students that Robert Munsch had his work rejected 25 times before it was published and that Stephen King was turned down an astonishing 32 times before his wife secretly took a rejected manuscript and re-submitted it; the manuscript would be cast aside another eight times

before it was accepted.

“Did that mean Stephen King didn’t know how to write? Or Munsch? Or that somebody just didn’t understand what they were doing?”

“Everyone gets rejected,” Walters said.

When that happens they can do two things: cry and say they’re no good or vow to get better.

“You have to have confidence, confidence in your writing but also confidence to accept the criticism to make changes. I don’t like to be corrected but it does make you better.”

Walters’ first book (he’s published 85) Stand Your

Ground is set in the school he was teaching in during the early 1990s.

“I started as a teacher and I was writing for my class.

They could tell tremendous stories but they didn’t actually like writing stories, so I started writing for them.”

“I do a lot of experiential writing, it’s something I love doing.”

Walters’ trek up Kilimanjaro was harrowing; so was a 250-kilometre walk across a Tunisian desert.

“I write about what I like. I follow my passions and write about things that interest me.

As a teacher I did the same thing.”

EMC writer wins media recognition award

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Peterborough - It’s not something I’m accustomed to doing, stepping out from behind the camera lens and having camera lenses trained on me while I received an award recognizing the work I do with the Northwest Edition of EMC Community Newspaper; in this case it was for coverage of Community Care and the extraordinary things it does in our area, particularly Havelock-Belmont-Methuen and Asphodel-Norwood.

But there I was at the organization’s lively and informative Agency Day at Westdale United Church in Peterborough, honoured, humbled and deeply appreciative of an award that lauds “outstanding public service and invaluable community awareness for Community Care.”

Suddenly I felt like all those thousands of people I had photographed in similar circumstances, a little chagrined at wondering what all the fuss was about but pleased to have been able to help out such an extraordinarily worthy organization, one that represents the goodness of volunteering and the very heart blood of grassroots community engagement.

Agency Day is dedicated to the staff, volunteers and board members who make Community Care tick, infusing it with positive and often life-changing energy; it’s part brainstorming session and motivational workshop and it leaves supporters energized and excited.

“It’s just a wonderful opportunity to have volunteers, staff and board members from throughout the city and county get together and network to get to know one another better,” executive director Danielle Belair said in an interview. “It’s an opportunity to discuss how we can improve and do things better and it’s just a very fun-filled day with all sorts of activities.

“And it is a day to recharge,” she added.

“The purpose today is to make it more like one, one Community Care agency instead of eight.”

It’s also a day that reminds people of the enormous contribution the United Way of Peterborough and District makes to its successful operation.

One of the “highlights,” said Belair, are the informational kiosks on display from Community Care’s eight offices; the displays showcased the work the individual offices do but also underscores the fact Community Care functions as a team.

“The purpose today is to make it more like one, one Community Care agency instead of eight,” Belair said.

“To bring the idea that we are all one entity and we all work together for the same purpose and same vi-

sion. The offices are all very individualized and they are community grassroots; they have their own volunteers and their own uniqueness and that’s what I like about these displays because it does show off their uniqueness.”

There is also an emphasis on the spirit of volunteerism at Agency Day. Belair notes that the organization’s nearly 1,000 volunteers deliver the equivalent of 49 full-time jobs.

“We certainly wouldn’t be able to exist without them.

We’re very fortunate to be able to recruit so many new ones as well. We’re really proud of the achievements of our volunteers.”

And so they should be.

New vice principal at CDHS building relationships and bridges

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - “Exclamation, all caps, love it.”

Those are the words of Christine Orton, the new vice principal at Campbellford District High School (CDHS) when asked how she is enjoying her new position. Bringing with her decades of experience she is already settling into her new role.

“My responsibilities are typical of any vice principal that’s in this board [Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board]. My main focus so far has been

work.

It is “about seeing the big picture.”

“For me the building capacity and teaching students how to look at the bigger picture … it’s so easy to say and it’s so hard to do,” she said.

Social media, texting and emailing are impacting everyone and in that context of the discussion she said it’s a matter of slowing down.

“One of the best pieces of advice that anyone ever gave me was to take it slow,” she said.

“I find that my biggest challenge that’s different from twenty years ago is that we have to teach people to go slower … you don’t need the instant gratification, you don’t need the impulsivity.”

For Orton it’s about being proactive, not reactive.

“Just take baby steps and keep moving forward,” she commented.

She sees her role as preparing the students for the future.

“The skills that you learn in a school setting are going to prepare you for life.

So I think we’re a bridge to key productive citizens. And every job is honourable and I just want you to be the best that you can be at what you’re doing,” she said.

Orton made it clear the high school in Campbellford is where she wants to be.

“I am so impressed with how the community, staff and students have welcomed me into this school. The acceptance and the kindness are overwhelming and I am honoured. I am very humbled about the experiences I have had in this area. The people here are amazing.”

building relationships with staff, students and community,” she told EMC during an interview in her office.

For the last two years she worked at the board office as a special education consultant.

Before that she taught at Norwood District High School for 21 years, focusing on special education field toward the end of that period.

An American who grew up in Maryland and taught in Atlanta, Georgia, for five years, she said she has always enjoyed helping people and that’s why she became a teacher.

Does she miss the students and staff at the school in Norwood?

“I built such tight relationships so of course there is that part of missing Norwood but it was the right move for me to go to the board office,” she commented.

But it wasn’t long before she yearned to be back in a school.

“Being at the board office and working with schools last year I realized how much I missed a school environment and so coming back [in this case to Campbellford] I really wanted to be a part of the life of the school and I felt knowing my strengths that this is the right place for me,” she said with conviction.

For Orton it means putting her people skills to

they used eggs and beans which are two less expensive meat substitutes.

“We’re experimenting with things other than traditional meats although we will include some of those things as well.”

Stuckless says there’s also an emphasis on the Canada Health Guide.

“We’re also trying to increase the intake of veg-

etables and we’ve got bags of vegetables [participants] can take home,” she said.

“The idea is that it’s their kitchen; they’re going to decide what to make and they’re going to take ownership of certain responsibilities of running the kitchen.”

Stuckless says people often gravitate to processed meals because they

think they’re faster but she pointed out that last Friday’s session produced the soup, corn meal and quiche in less than two hours with participants making enough to take home for several meals.

“Here they eat healthy, take meals home and have them over a period of time and by doing it here it will increase their confidence at

EMC News - Havelock The historic Stone Hall in Belmont Township plays the role of art gallery to perfection. The venerable building on Highway #7 near the 6th Line of Belmont hosted the North of Seven Artisan’s annual pre-Christmas show and final exhibition until May. “This is a great old building. I love this hall,” North of Seven founder Judy Moretton told the Northwest EMC. “This is a lovely venue and it’s nice for our last show of the year to be warm.”

There were 11 exhibitors featured in the show which was limited in size because of the hall’s space restrictions but Moretton was pleased to showcase some of the group’s regular artisans.

“I kind of feel like we’re getting established and becoming a hub for artists in town,” she says of

home. For the quick $1 meal you probably fill that three times [here].”

Planning meals ahead of time and learning how to incorporate leftovers into other quick and simple recipes are lessons that can be learned very easily and it saves money and time, she says.

The Hastings Civic Centre Advisory Committee provides the kitchen as an in-kind donation and the Ontario Early Years Centre offers free childcare upstairs.

“We want parents with families to participate,” Stuckless says.

Many of the vegetables come from Food For All in Cobourg which also helps “keep the budget to a minimal.”

“It’s not just what they’re teaching each other, they’re teaching me. I learn things at all our collective kitchens.

I think everyone is able to learn something from someone else.”

“It’s a good idea,” says Sara Osuch. “We’re on a bit of a budget and need to stretch the dollar a bit.”

EMC Lifestyles - Hastings There’s nothing tastier on a chilly fall day than freshly cooked minestrone soup and the Collective Kitchens cooking team at the Hastings Civic Centre prepared mighty fine servings during a session last Friday.

The six cooks and instructor Pat Stuckless, a public health food worker with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District Health Unit, topped off their soup-making with delectable helpings of corn meal muffins and crustless bacon and cheese quiche.

“It’s really about people from the community coming together, cooking together and learning from each other,” Stuckless told the Northwest EMC. The cooks all come at the lessons with varying degrees of experience and kitchen confidence, says Stuckless, and they share that knowledge.

“It’s for everybody to learn new tips from each other.”

It’s also about “stretching your food dollar while making meals,” Stuckless added.

New pub offers fresh food for working people

By Sue Dickens

EMC Business - Warkworth - The luck of the Irish could be an ingredient in the pub fare that is now available at The Park Pub & Grill on Old Hastings Road in Warkworth.

Opening earlier this month (where Rubb’s used to be) the pub is operated by Tom Connaughton and his sons Kieran and Richard.

“The idea is to do pub food, fresh food and make it very reasonable for working people,” said Tom Connaughton while taking time for his busy day for a quick interview.

“The recipes are the same as the ones that are hundreds of years old, that we grew up with in Ireland. It’s like this back home and we

are doing the same thing,” he added.

The menu features traditional Irish stew, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips and slow cooked roast beef au Jus to name a few of the mouthwatering selections.

“It’s like pub grub, an Irish style pub/English style pub that provides food that’s made fresh and home cooked,” said Connaughton, who added his favourite is shepherd’s pie.

“We do all bar food, chicken wings, mozzarella sticks, Jalapeno peppers and more,” he explained.

The menu also has sandwiches and wraps, salads and plenty of appetizers.

“What we want to do here in this particular location is tasty food, pub food at prices people can afford,”

said the owner.

He and his wife Barb bought a home in Roseneath about ten years ago and have been coming here on weekends with their sons, with plans to settle here.

“It’s nice and quiet here and we know most of the people around our house now.”

Connaughton worked in demolition in Scarborough and his sons have worked construction and the disposal business.

They have left that life behind and are making the pub their full-time business.

Connaughton said he will be cooking up the pub fare in the kitchen alongside Kieran while Richard will be behind the bar.

“We’ve been in the res-

taurant business too before,” he added.

The pub is accessible and features accessible washrooms.

As well there is an outdoor patio and a function room that will seat 36 guests.

“It can be used for dinner meetings, lunch meetings or Christmas gatherings,” said Connaughton.

Kieran was busy the day of the interview picking up a juke box which they put in the pub to attract the diners.

“I am really looking forward to working with my dad; we’ve worked together before,” said Richard.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

The pub has been open for a few weeks now.

“It’s been great so far.

We’ve had a lot of lunches and a lot of dinners and everybody gave us good comments,” he said.

The business plans to be open Mondays through

Wednesdays and on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Thursdays to Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

“We may change the hours. We’re kind of testing the market right now,” said

“But for sure we’re here for the long run; we’re here to stay,” he concluded.

Young artist reflects on selfless acts

By Richard Turtle

EMC News - Stirling - After a few memorable history lessons, high school student Anthony Curran felt inspired by the acts of the countless thousands of individuals who have defended Canadians for more than a century.

And when the Belleville teenager was given the opportunity to display some new work at the StirlingRawdon Public Library, the November dates, he says, naturally suggested a Remembrance Day theme.

With that idea in mind, Curran sought out images from the past and a history worth celebrating.

The library foyer features a display cabinet of local artworks that are changed monthly and Curran, having also heard about the gallery there, was keen to make use of the space.

“I did these pieces specifically for this,” explains the Grade 11 Bayside student of his presentation that will be featured for the month of November. It seemed a timely theme, he says adding, “I wanted to show what people did for our country.”

The four works, paintings and charcoal drawings,

include a reproduction of a recruiting poster, a portrait of a Canadian pilot, a soldier in uniform and a contrastingly colourful depiction of a poppy.

“In Grade Ten history we learned a lot about that,” Curran says of Canada’s military history, “so it sort of started there.”

After the school year ended, and with the news he would be required to create some new pieces, Curran was left with a summer project and the images left behind from his recent studies. His own reproductions of long ago photographs and post-

ers, Curran says they come from various sources and are both anonymous and highly personal. As well, he says, they are reflective of a time that deserves serious recognition.

“It’s important to honour them and what they did,” he adds, noting age and the passage of time should not diminish the importance of our freedom. “We should all remember.”

Curran’s work is on display throughout the month as communities gather at area cenotaphs to participate in this weekend’s remembrance Day ceremonies.

RURAL REPORT

Lou Rinaldi looks for input for Rural Routes Program Rinaldi said he started the program in June and the ministries are still functioning.

Terry Cassidy said the Community Health Centre needs more funding to get full staff. Rinaldi said they are totally funded by the province, but they have to be realistic since there are financial issues.

However, the province has more doctors now than before.

Ron Hamilton asked about the changes in assessment in agricultural land and the Hydro increases affecting farmers. Rinaldi said if all the assessments go up the same it shouldn’t be an issue.

Jim Harrison commented on the Marmora Mine site

super project.

Don Kuntze asked how the solar projects are doing to help the energy supply in the province. Rinaldi said he would forward that information to staff.

Mayor John Williams asked Rinaldi how people could get in touch with him about their questions. The answer was not audible.

Donato says skate park going downhill volunteer and supporter for many years, is no longer directly affiliated with the park remaining a neighbour and visitor who freely admits it remains a drawing card for himself and family noting, “I can’t keep my grandchildren away from that park.”

But it is time to consider some changes before another season passes, he says, including in the operation of the summer camp, the updating of the web site, and future considerations for the rental shack. Poor financial results in several areas warrant a second look, Donato says.

“It needs volunteers as custodians,” Donato adds of the park itself, noting “the

youth need to play a bigger part in maintaining it.” But that won’t happen until administrative changes have been made, he says, and the overall philosophy returns to its roots. After operating a summer camp for 12 students with six staff this year, he says, it shows how much some things have changed in a few short years.

“When we started summer camp here we gave it away,” he says, “because we were giving it away to families that needed it.”

Donato suggested to council that the park’s operations be given consideration in plenty of time to make appropriate changes before next year.

“I can’t disagree with one thing you said,” noted Deputy-reeve Tom Simpson following Donato’s delegation.

And those concerns, “will be addressed,” he added.

EMC News - Madoc While there remains much to celebrate at the local skate park, local resident and longtime park supporter Carm Donato says it’s already not what it used to be.

The model appears to be broken, he says, and more than just a quick fix is in order.

Donato spoke as a delegation at last week’s regular meeting of Centre Hastings Council, urging officials there to make some changes at the park or risk losing its status as “a model for many other communities.” Telling council he was primarily concerned with non-compliance issues, or the regular breaking of park rules, and where and how money is spent on the park and services provided, he offered several suggestions for consideration.

Citing the lack of an ongoing adult presence and youth’s understandable inability to appropriately supervise themselves, he says a change in direction is required where staffing is concerned. The municipality should first contract out the food services, Donato says, and instead place its focus on the community the park was intended to serve.

“It’s a safe family park,” says Donato, “and there are many positive things.”

Among them, he says, are anecdotal reports of 20,000 visitors this year while “it’s been kept as clean as it’s ever been.” However, he says, design problems in the water areas have resulted in damage that needs to be rectified, along with other issues.

The nearby resident, while a

He is looking for input from rural citizens, stakeholders, municipal councils and private interest groups to provide feedback to the premier’s office with concerns of rural Ontario.

“We want to find out what the government needs to do better,” he explained.

He has already addressed the wardens, agricultural groups, and economic development partners and says the discussions are open to anyone.

“What’s bothering you?” he asked. “We are hoping to get good input.”

Sally Freeman said she is concerned with getting more health care for seniors, particularly since the cutbacks to keeping people in their homes and to nursing homes.

“It’s a big struggle,” she said.

Paul Kyte asked Rinaldi how the government could resolve anything since there is no government right now.

Weekend offered bazaar shopping sprees

By Richard Turtle

EMC News - Stirling For many intent on getting a jump on their Christmas shopping, last weekend was a truly bazaar experience.

Along with local service clubs and churches hosting sales of their own, several participants in the Heart of Hastings Studio Tour saw significant traffic throughout the weekend as well.

The Studio Tour, which features stops from Belleville to Tweed including several in both Marmora and Stirling, continues through next weekend and features a variety of gift ideas at a dozen different locations. For many other organizations, it has presented itself as a Christmas sale opportunity.

Several merchants in downtown Stirling reported larger than normal crowds last weekend while

Three year-old Addison Baxter had her eye on a few treats at the St. Paul’s United Church Women’s Bazaar last weekend. And a stop at the tearoom was a welcome one during a busy morning of shopping.

area shows and sales were also well attended after much of the shopping activity began in a flourish at the annual St. Paul’s United Church Women’s Bazaar. Organizers and volunteers were kept busy in the church basement there as hundreds of people ar-

rived to take advantage of the seasonal shopping opportunity. The doors opened for the single-day Victorian Christmas at 10 a.m. last Friday with only a fraction of the items available by noon. Along with handmade clothing for children, crafts, decorations,

antiques and collectables as well as tables of baked goods and treats, the numerous visitors had much to chose from. Volunteer Edith Ray says about 150 gift baskets had been prepared in the weeks leading up to the sale and as usual were quickly snapped up in the ensuing rush. Several visitors reported travelling more than 100 kilometres to attend while others have made it an annual shopping event close to home.

Members of the Stirling and District Lions Club

also hosted their first arts and crafts sale, opening the doors to the Lions Hall last weekend. Organizers Arlene Pollick and Barb Payne say the response was excellent from both vendors and visitors, with Pollick noting the sale provided a venue for many talented artists and artisans as well as an opportunity to learn about the work that goes into producing one-of-a-kind items. Among the vendors at the Lions sale were jewellery makers and woodworkers as well as painters,

carvers and photographers.

There were plenty of culinary artists on hand as well.

The Studio Tours run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the closing weekend November 9-11 at locations along Highways 37, 62 and 14 including Down Home Country Treasures, Mackenzie Ridge Gift and Basket, The Village Green, Natural Touch, Margaret’s Imports, the UnconVentional moose and The Apple Store as well as many downtown shops.

Terry Martin, of Wildlife Creations and More in Belleville, was one of nearly 20 vendors at the Stirling and District Lions Club sale last weekend. Using only scrap wood, Martin can recreate any photograph into a unique work of art.

County of Peterborough Notice of Public Information Centre By-Law No.: 2011-69 All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) Review Tuesday, November 13th, 2012 6:30pm-8:00pm Asphodel-Norwood Town Hall 2357 County Road 45 The County of Peterborough has initiated a review of By-Law No.: 2011-69, being a By-Law to regulate the Operation of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) on Highways and Roadways within the Jurisdiction of the County of Peterborough. This by-law expires on November 30th, 2012. County Council will be giving consideration for renewal of this by-law.

Heather Cassidy of Tweed was one of many shoppers to brave the crowds at St. Paul’s United Church in Stirling as the annual Victorian Christmas sale saw items disappear in a rush. The bazaar marks the beginning of the annual Heart of Hastings Studio Tour.

The by-law currently allows for the use of ATVs on designated short sections of County Roads within the Township of HavelockBelmont-Methuen.

The purpose of the review is to determine the impact of the ATV By-Law and whether any changes to the by-law, related to County Roads only, are required.

The public meeting is not a review of the policies or by-laws of the individual Townships within the County of Peterborough.

A Public Information Centre (PIC) is being held to provide information and to receive input and comments from interested persons.

Stolen VISA card used at local car dealership EMC News - Campbellford - On Wednesday, October 24, the Northumberland OPP received information of a suspicious order from a male requesting a pallet of 50 car batteries from Scott Drummond Motors in Campbellford.

The suspect provided in-

formation for payment using a VISA credit card.

OPP were contacted by a staff member at Scott Drummond Motors reporting that on October 10 they had received a telephone call from a male requesting the price of one car battery. One battery can be purchased at

$188.

The staff advised that the male caller spoke with a strong accent and believe might have been of Somalian descent.

The caller asked for pricing on 50 batteries and was told they would cost $6,000 plus taxes.

A VISA card number was provided to complete the sale and arrangements were made for pickup. The batteries were delivered to a company in Etobicoke.

A second order of batteries was requested with two pre-approved VISA cards on October 13 by the same

male and arrived at the dealership October 17.

The delivery truck arrived and the driver told the staff at the dealership that the credit cards used in the second transaction were in fact stolen from a company in Scarborough and he would not be accepting the order.

OPP are continuing their investigation, however, police would like to advise businesses to be aware of this fraud and to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or their local police detachment with any information that may assist them in finding those responsible.

Secret shopper visits tourist centre

By Judy Backus

EMC News - Marmora One of the first agenda dealt with by the Economic Development Committee on October 30 was a review of the terms of reference. The committee, comprised of one member of council and up to seven members who represent community groups or the business community, has a mandate to “make recommendations to Council, the CAO and the Economic Development Officer on matters that will foster and enhance business retention and expansion in the community.”

Also in attendance, as a resource person at the monthly meetings, is Typhany Choinard, the Municipality’s Economic Development Officer who reported that the installation of two long-awaited sign posts designed to point to area businesses and other locations is scheduled to take place within days.

While on the topic of signs, group members approved the purchase and installation of a movable outdoor structure which, at a cost of about $80, would be of use when the

Tourist Centre was closed in that it would hold brochures relating to such things as accommodations, food and fuel stations.

Choinard told committee members that funding, amounting to over $6,000 had been approved by Community Futures Development Corporation and would be used to conduct “focus groups/workshops with Marmora and Lake businesses and residents to develop a brand that builds on community input and creates products that will be used for marketing initiatives.” It will also involve development of promotional materials and the creation of open/closed signs for businesses which will promote a new tourism branding. As well, the project will include the development of a new web site “that is consistent with the new branding.”

A press release from the County of Hastings, relating to the recent HOTie Awards (Hastings Opportunities in Tourism) indicated that of the six awards presented on October 19, three went to Marmora participants. SnoFest

was named both Tourism Organization of the Year and Event of the Year, while Janice Chrysler and Marc Forget tied in the individual category, she for involvement with Hastings County Wellness, and he for the development of the Marmora Miner’s Loop.

Choinard mentioned she had been contacted by a pen and ink artist, Belleville based Denis Newman, who had read about the proposed pumped storage tourism plan and has offered to set up a display of his prints relating to mines of Canada from the 1800s to the present. Choinard explained that Newman was not looking for compensation, saying, “He just wants to work with the community that is interested in exploring their mining heritage and building on it.” Committee members agreed the proposal had merit and voted to approve it.

One point of interest at the Tourist Centre is a very large binder containing all the information on mining in eastern Ontario and parts of Quebec. Since mining heritage has been recognized as something to promote locally,

a six-page detailed summary has been created highlighting the information relating to Marmora. As Choinard said, “As part of our work plan, we identified that we really wanted to start building our mining heritage … It shows how much mining there was in the area.”

Last August, the Tourist Centre was visited by a mystery shopper through the Ontario Highlands Tourism

Organization, and the centre received an overall score of 82 per cent which related to such topics as the interior and exterior environment of the building, the service delivery process, regional tourism product/service knowledge, as well as employee attitudes and presentation. Among the recommendations were name tags for staff and the posting of the centre’s hours.

When it came to the topic

of trails, Linda Bracken, who chaired the meeting, mentioned that she, Warden Rick Phillips, and Cindy Cassidy, general manager of Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance, would meet with the deputy minister of tourism at Queen’s Park regarding a hoped-for change in the laws to permit the use of side-by-side and two-up all-terrain vehicles on roadways, something that is currently illegal.

Live bands slated for Stirling theatre hall

EMC Entertainment Stirling - It is a new idea for the Stirling Festival Theatre and organizers of an upcoming musical performance upstairs in the Eugene Burrell Hall are preparing for a slightly different audience.

And hopes are high that a new performance venue has been created to showcase a range of local talents in an intimate and less formal space than the theatre’s main stage. And it might get loud.

The upstairs hall, which includes a bar and plenty of room for different configurations of tables and chairs, seats about 100 people with potential for several types of performances. And on the impetus of one local musician, the wheels started in motion to make a little noise about local talent.

Local rock band New Age Soldier, along with Ottawabased My Favourite Tragedy, will be performing on November 17 after a series of successful shows together that included September’s Centre Hastings Rocks concert at the skatepark. The brainchild of Madoc-based Aaron Beals, the three-band live outdoor event warranted some sort of return engagement, he says, and members of My Favourite Tragedy were happy to oblige. And in November, he says, a smaller space indoors is the only way to go.

“We’ve done a few shows together now,” Beals says of New Age Soldier, which

includes Belleville’s Kris Tischbein and Stirling-area resident Brad Thompson, and My Favourite Tragedy.

And he admits their different styles are also perfectly complementary with each offering a very different but highly energetic show. Beals and New Age Soldier are all electric, offering a range of original material as well as a few covers, while My Favourite Tragedy offers a more acoustic sound with frontman North Easton joined by standup bass player John Demarais and drummer Phil Demarais.

And the space at the Stirling theatre should be a perfect fit.

Beals says the bands will have copies of their CDs available as well as T-shirts and other merchandise and, while the bar will be open, it is an all ages event with music, he says, that should appeal to a broad range of age groups and musical tastes.

“We’re really excited about this,” Beals says of the Stirling show, noting it will come on the heels of a November 10 date in Ottawa where the two bands will again share the bill. “We’d like to see everybody out, teenagers and their parents, everybody,” he says.

Tickets, priced at $15, and complete show information are available at the box office or by contacting Aaron Beals at <aaron.beals@hotmail.com> or by calling the theatre at 613-395-2100.

Canada’s top standup faces Belleville audience

By Ryland Coyne

EMC Entertainment Comedian Steve Patterson will be keeping it real when he performs at The Empire Theatre in Belleville November 10.

“I like to base it [performance] on real things and real facts,” he told the EMC last week.

Family, his Irish upbringing, his marriage, the U.S. election, even the Canadian men’s soccer team’s tough 8 - 1 loss to Honduras in World Cup qualifying: everything will be on the table for this Canadian funny man during his 90-minute one-man show This Is Not Debatable. (His solution, by the way, for the national team’s challenges is to have Canada’s Olympic bronze medal-winning women’s team tackle the male oppo-

sition from now on.)

Patterson has been the host of the CBC’s The Debaters for close to five years, but it’s on stage, live in front of an audience, where he’s most at home. His quick wit and “clean” sense of humour saw him named Canada’s top male standup comedian at last year’s Canadian Comedy Awards.

“It’s nice when your peers think you’re funny too,” he said. “You always want the respect of other people doing what you’re doing. I’m very proud of it.”

The world of standup is what he calls a “notoriously competitive field,” one that requires a constant updating of performances and material. Patterson, like so many of his peers, is most at home on stage and finds no shortage of subjects at which to

lost his job in the late 1990s for making a particular spot on an amusement park “too amusing.”

“I’ve definitely taken the longer road to success with standup for sure, but I like it,” he said.

And Patterson still dabbles in his former career, saying he does “a lot of shows for businesses” including a recent fund raiser alongside comedian Dana Carvey.

His work in comedy has taken him around the world including the United Kingdom, the U.S., Australia as well as the United Arab Emirates.

He took over as “moderator” of The Debaters on CBC from initial full-time host Shaun Majumder back in 2007 and says he loves the chance to work with other comedians across the country for radio and TV. The Debaters attracts a weekly audience of 750,000 on CBC Radio. “It’s been a great gig,” he said.

How Patterson came to this point in his career some might find funny as well.

“It’s been a long, different road for me,” he admitted.

After earning a full scholarship to Osgoode Law School in Toronto, he soon realized a life in the courts was not for him. He shifted focus and school, attending the University of Western Ontario from where he graduated with a degree in Business. It was during these years that he found his comfort zone, giving business presentations as part of program projects. He worked as an advertising copy writer upon graduation and eventually found his true calling in standup comedy when he

Guild play explores World War I trenches

EMC Entertainment - Peterborough - The trenches of World War I before the onslaught of gas attacks is the subject of the Peterborough Theatre’s Guild’s first play of the season.

The Ghosts of Aisne, written by local high school teacher Ross Davies, shadows a small group of Canadian soldiers before that first, horrific gas attack at Ypres in the late April of 1915 when the First Canadian Division heroically held their line in the face of unspeakable terror.

The play, directed by Rob

Steinman, is inspired by World War I poetry and the tragedies of William Shakespeare and examines the themes of courage, friendship, loyalty and duty during a time when the world, particularly Europe, had gone mad.

Davies and Steinman teamed up in 2007 for the Guild’s production of the Murder Ballads. This is the premiere production of The Ghosts of Aisne which runs through Remembrance Week until November 17.

Davies says he hopes the

play will be “seen as a tribute to all those touched by war and particularly to veterans and active military personnel.”

Theatre goers should be reminded that the play includes the use of pyrotechnics that produce flashes of light, simulate smoke and loud simulated explosions.

Tickets are $10 for students, $16 for seniors and $18 for adults. You can order tickets by calling 705-745-4211 or by visiting the box office at 364 Rogers Street during operating hours.

EMC Sports - Norwood An undefeated regular season took the sting out of the Norwood District High School Junior Knights 46 - 28 play-off loss to Tier I powerhouse Adam Scott.

The Knights went 5-0-1 and finished on top of the Kawartha High School Tier II loop which set up an “AA” play-off battle with long-time rivals Adam

Scott which spent the year butting heads with “AAA” teams like Crestwood and Fenelon Falls.

It was a “big step to go play a Tier I school like Adam Scott and having a really long break didn’t help us,” coach Rick Thompson told the Northwest EMC. “We predicted a closer game; I’m not sure exactly how it got away so quickly on us.”

Norwood’s first play on offence was a fumble that Scott ran back for a touchdown. The Lions capitalized on opportunities and field conditions to build up a 28 - 0 first half lead then ran back the second half kickoff for a touchdown.

“We were outsized but they didn’t give up and kept battling all day and that was important,” Thompson said.

“Our offence never quit.”

“There was a lot of Grade Ten leadership, guys with a lot of football experience playing with the Trent Hills Titans and Peterborough Wolverines. You can start to see in a small school like Norwood where that’s paying off.”

The next smallest school at Tier II was still probably double Norwood’s size, Thompson noted.

“To finish 5-0-1 is huge.

“Football at Norwood is more than just on the field for us; it’s definitely a whole community thing for us,” says Thompson. “It gets a lot of guys involved in the school in Grade Nine and Ten. It’s a really positive experience for all of them.”

Kawartha rugby title for undefeated Knights

EMC Sports - Norwood The Norwood District High School Junior Knights are Kawartha rugby champs after a dominating undefeated season. The title put the hard-running side into the Central Ontario (COS-

SA) championship finals November 6 with an opening round set against the defending silver medallists from Trenton High School.

“We’re excited,” Aaron Stinchcombe, assistant to head coach Linda Coons,

told the Northwest EMC as the team drilled in preparation for their game against the provincial powerhouse Tigers.

“We thought it was going to be a strong team but we didn’t think they would

walk through and dominate Kawartha,” Stinchcombe said. “They won games convincingly.”

Stinchcombe says the Cobourg East Comets and the Lakefield Tigers served up good games.

“We had a lot of Grade Nines last year and it paid off this year,” he said. “And this year we had a lot of good athletes come out to play and we put the two together.

Linda got the girls running very hard with the ball and rucking. In junior rugby if you run hard with the ball you’ve got a good chance of success and winning and it all came together.”

Many of the girls played summer rugby and that added to the experience quotient, Stinchcombe added.

“If they come in at Grade Nine with rugby experience it makes a huge difference.”

The team has no illusions

“They’re always one of the strongest in the province,” Stinchcombe said of the Tigers.

Norwood, he added, needs to get “re-focused after a week off.”

The COSSA championship tourney had its date

shifted forward in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

“We’re kind of excited to play them,” Stinchcombe said. “They play a different style of game than we do; they like to kick a lot more [but] if we play our game and run and ruck the way we do we have a good chance.

“We have to hold onto the ball. Possession is going to be huge.”

World skating champ coming this month

By Bill Freeman

EMC Sports - Norwood World figure skating champion, Olympic bronze medallist and Canadian Sports Hall of Fame member Don Jackson will be in Norwood November 30 as part of the sixth annual On the Leading Edge skate clinic for pre-beginner skaters.

Jackson blazed the trail for male skaters in Canada culminating in a world championship performance in 1962 in Prague where he became the first skater to land a Triple Lutz jump.

Now with the Oshawa Figure Skating Club, Jackson set the stage for greatness with second-place finishes at the Canadian Figure Skating championships in 1956 and 1957 then catapulted to first overall in

North America and second in the world in 1959. In 1960 he repeated his world silver performance in Vancouver and earned a bronze medal at the Olympics in Squaw Valley, California.

The following year he repeated as Canadian and North American champion but did not get a chance to compete at the worlds because it was cancelled in the wake of an airline crash near Brussels that killed all 72 people on the 707 including the American figure skating team of 18 skaters and their coaches, trainers and family.

Following his triumphs in 1962 he received the Lou Marsh Award as Canada’s outstanding athlete and was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. In 1997 Continued on page 23

Junior Girls basketball team’s top scorers talk about their season

By Sue Dickens

EMC Sports - Campbellford - On or off the court the Junior Girls basketball team at Campbellford District High School (CDHS) knows what sportsmanship is all about.

The team wrapped up their season last Thursday at Brock High School unfortunately with a loss. The final score was 19 - 35.

The team had placed second in the Kawartha South Division, which allowed them to enter the quarter-finals with only three losses.

The division included teams from Cobourg East, Cobourg West, St. Mary’s in Cobourg and a team from Port Hope.

This is a team made up of mostly Grade 9 girls whose only experience on the court has been at the elementary school level.

Alex Jehle and Chloe Whalen were top scorers.

“Everyone put up quite a fight,” said Carolyn Orr, staff advisor and assistant coach.

EMC Sports - Campbellford - The Campbellford Rebels extended their win streak to five games with a pair of wins over the Napanee Raiders in Empire B Junior C Hockey League action. The Rebels skated past the Raiders 4 - 1 on the road then doubled the score in a 4 - 2 home win before 196 fans at the CampbellfordSeymour Community Centre.

The wins keep the Rebels (8-3-0-1) in a second-place tie with the Amherstview Jets (8-4-0-1) and five points back of league-leading Picton (10-1-0-2). Nipping at their heels are the Port Hope Panthers (7-5-0-1).

Steinmann each scored 2 points. Chloe Whalen netted 4 points, Lauryn Turgeon 2 points, Alex Jehle 7 points including 3 foul shots at 1 point each.

Orr has been providing updated game reports to EMC on a regular basis.

“Even though they lost their quarter-final game, they played an excellent season that we should be proud of,” she told EMC. “Their commitment and hard work has made for a great season,” she added.

“Don [coach Don Kjelmyr] said last week that every girl on the team improved immensely, they were committed to practice and most importantly they had fun. This is what is most important throughout the entire season, that every team member feel valued and get a chance to play a game they love as much as possible,” Orr said.

“The girls have become really close. They’re like a family,” commented Orr. We sat down with two of the top scorers and talked about their season before

their final game.

Chloe Whalen, Grade 9, played basketball at Percy Centennial School in Warkworth and a lot of the girls who played with her tried out for the team at CDHS. “I enjoy basketball because it’s got more action in it than people think. It’s not just dribbling the ball. You have to work on your skills and you have to be good at faking people out. It’s a rough sport it’s not just running,” she said.

Rebecca Redner agreed.

“I enjoy basketball because it’s just a lot of fun. It’s very aggressive and takes a lot of skill.”

When Whalen is not playing basketball (she also likes volleyball and soccer), she “is really into the performing arts.” She was a member of La Jeunesse choir in Cobourg last year and plans on trying out for the Jazz Choir at CDHS when it starts up again.

Both girls both spoke very highly of their coach.

“He’ll say obviously you want to win and have fun but it’s mostly about doing

your best. Especially like our last game we were really close and lost so he said well as long as you had fun and he took us all out to McDonald’s and he paid,” said Redner with a grin.

Orr said she couldn’t have done her job without

Kjelmyr’s expertise.

“He has been working on the plays, specific plays with the girls. He’s been doing great defense with them and he’s a ref so he knows the game inside and out.”

Orr and Kjelmyr would like to thank the team for all

their hard work.

The team included Brianna Parcels, Rebecca Redner, Bailey Watson, Alex Cartwright, Alex Jehle, Megan Steinmann, Lauryn Turgeon, Sarah Mackenzie, Ellie Conte, Hunter Goudreault, Chloe Whalen and Hope Whalen.

Rebels dump Napanee Raiders twice The Rebels travel to Deseronto (1-12-0) November 9 then host the Panthers November 10 before hitting the road again to face Picton November 15.

At the C-S Centre the Raiders jumped out to a 2 - 0 lead on goals by Alex Kwok and Jayden Adams before Campbellford got back into the game on markers from Mitch Burkitt and Josh Adams. Dylan Baxter assisted on the Burkitt goal.

Neither team scored in the second with Ryan Crowley notching the game winner 6:21 into the third with assists going to Grant Fry and captain Seamus McDougall. Newcomer Tim

Pandachuck, a former Belleville Bulls draft pick picked up from Picton in a trade for veteran Levi George, added some insurance with 1:44 to play with an assist to T.J. Paterson.

Cole Mahoney got the win turning aside 28 of 30 shots. Campbellford fired 30 shots at Napanee’s Kyle Wood.

On the road, the Rebels got goals from Crowley, Baxter, Josh Adams and Burkitt with Hunter Fargey, Burkitt, Mitch Gibson, Jon Samis, Baxter and Conor Turland picking up assists.

Mahoney backstopped the Rebels to the win facing 25 shots.

Grizzlies turn game around

EMC Sports - On Friday, November 2, the Peewee AE Grizzlies hosted the Port Hope Phantoms in Marmora.

The Grizzlies started slow, and before the first period was over, they found themselves down by a score of 3 - 0. Centre Hastings turned things around and played hard for the remainder of the game but ended up falling to the Phantoms by a 4 - 1 final.

Saturday, the Peewee AE Grizzlies travelled to Picton to take on the Prince Edward County Kings. Centre Hastings jumped out to a 1 - 0 lead on Brady Auger's goal that was assisted by Jamie Shorts.

The Kings quickly scored to tie the game on a pass that bounced off a Grizzlies’ skate that ended up in the net. That bad bounce didn't seem to faze the Grizzlies, and they continued to carry the play

and lay many hard body checks. Isabella Portt slid the puck by the Kings’ goalie to put Centre Hastings back on top with assists by Lachlan McLean and Aden McColl.

Another goal by Brady Auger with an assist from Reese Preston made the score 3 - 1.

P.E.C. replied near the end of the second period as they capitalized on a Grizzlies’ turnover to make the score 3 - 2 going into the final period. The Grizzlies kept up the hard work, but couldn't seem to find the back of the net despite heavily out-shooting the Kings. With five minutes left to play, the Kings grabbed a loose puck and scored what was the final score of the game making the final a 3 - 3 tie.

"The kids played hard tonight, just a couple of bounces didn't go our way," said Grizzlies’ trainer John Croskery.

Rebels buzz: In trading Levi George to the Pirates, the Rebels move a player who notched 47 goals and 32 assists over 67 regular season games for Campbellford with another 16 goals and 18 assists in 30 play-off games. They acquired Quinte Minor

Midget grad Tim Pandachuck, a twelfth round Belleville Bulls 2011 draft pick.

He had one goal and four assists in ten games for the Pirates. Hunter Fargey (14-10-24), Ryan Crowley (7-16-23) and Seamus McDougall (3-16-19) lead the EBJCHL in scoring; Mc-

Dougall holds down third spot tied with Napanee’s Luke Emmons and Picton’s Mitchell Smith. Goalie Cole Mahoney is second in the league with 2.65 goals against average and .916 save percentage. Picton’s Adam Wood leads with 2.16 and .934 stats.

Wartime letters shared in the hopes of bringing meaning to Remembrance Day

By Sue Dickens

EMC Lifestyles - Campbellford - A collection of wartime letters filled with words of love and devotion sit on the coffee table in the apartment of Georgina Matthews.

“I have 344 letters that he wrote to me,” she told EMC. “I wrote him 409,” she added quietly.

The first letter is dated October 18, 1943.

She shared some of his words: “Hello Honey, it is a real joy to be able to sit down and write you again.

I have been thinking of you constantly and loving you every minute.”

For Matthews, who is now 95, Remembrance Day has a very special meaning.

It’s a time when she remembers the sacrifice of men like her husband who went to war, some of whom never returned.

Her husband, Flight Lieutenant Dryden Joseph Matthews, was one of the lucky ones, he did.

He had signed up March 1942, and after more than a year of training he was shipped overseas to England and joined RAF Squadron 547 stationed in Devon.

“When he enlisted, I supported him fully,” said Matthews, noting the couple had met at Queen’s University in the 1930s.

After graduating, her husband-to-be went to work for his father in Detroit.

“I landed a job as a secretary at the head office of CIL in Montreal,” she said.

“We wrote lots of letters,” she added with a grin, noting that was the only way to communicate long distance in those days.

They were married in 1940.

“Joe had been over to Windsor to enlist but they weren’t taking married men at that point,” she said, reminiscing.

“A lot of friends and all the young men from Queen’s were joining up.”

A year and a half later Matthews was able to enlist.

“While he was doing patrols in the Bay of Biscay, the English Channel, the North Sea and in the North Atlantic … he even did a patrol for ships that were going to Murmansk in Russia … I was at home having his baby,” said Matthews with a smile.

member of Campbellford Branch 103 of the Royal Canadian Legion for 25 years.

The time-honoured tradition performed across Canada by widows and mothers marks their own personal loss.

The Memorial Cross (more often referred to as the Silver Cross) was first instituted by Order-inCouncil 2374, on December 1, 1919. It is awarded to mothers and widows (next of kin) of Canadian soldiers who died on active duty or whose death is attributed to

such duty.

A member of the Legion for 39 years, joining as soon as women were allowed, and a member of the Ladies Auxiliary dating back 63 years, Ingram will be laying the wreath in memory of her late husband Leslie George Henry Wright (“Buddy”) who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Married in 1944, “We had one week together before he was sent overseas,” said Ingram while looking at some photos taken of them together.

Two Silver Cross ladies talk about Remembrance Day

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - A new Silver Cross wreath will be placed at the Cenotaph in Campbellford to mark the somber ceremony being held Sunday, November 11.

“We were 21 strong and now we are two,” said Marg Ingram, 88, who will be laying the wreath this year.

“It’s always been a shared responsibility. She and Frances Bennett are the only two Silver Cross ladies in town,” said Ingram’s daughter Sharon Hay who has been a

cause of mom and my father [George Field] who was also a veteran and a Legion member, has always been in our family like a holy day, it’s incredibly significant,” said Hay. A retired teacher she remembers when her mother would come to the school in Stirling where she taught, “wearing her blues and greys” loaded up with her memorabilia.

“She talked to the children and explained what Remembrance Day was all about,” she added.

Hay has been very busy along with other Legion members helping with the poppy campaign and canvassing for donations with wreaths and crosses in preparation for Sunday’s service.

“People buying poppies help the Legion assist the widows and the veterans,” commented Ingram.

“These Silver Cross ladies are our treasures,” said her daughter who will be among the many Legion members to participate in the service.

Wearing her Silver Cross, Frances Bennett, 87, sat

down with EMC for an interview last week.

“It’s quite an honour to be given the Silver Cross and I treasure it,” she said.

She spoke of her marriage to Robert Blake.

“He went off to fight in the war but never came back,” she said.

“He was committed to the cause. He felt it was his duty,” she added.

“I feel as if I am cherished in a lot of ways that they would remember me and Robert,” she commented.

“It’s a very solemn process and it’s very moving,” said Hay. On Sunday the Remembrance Day service will be held at 11 a.m. at the Cenotaph.

A Remembrance Day dinner will take place that evening at 5 p.m. at the Legion.

Tickets cost $10 and they are available at the Legion.

Everyone is welcome.

Remembrance Day has a special meaning

Glancing at the letters she added, “He couldn’t mention anything about the military operations you know so it was just day-to-day things, what they had for dinner, if there was a movie on.

“All of my friends we were all in the same boat with husbands overseas, expecting babies, pushing baby carriages and we had all gone home to our mom and dad.” Matthews had returned home to stay with her parents in Montreal.

Her husband came home August 9, 1945, and met his daughter Carol Anne for the first time.

They settled in Guelph and raised a family of four.

“He became an FCA, a Fellow of the Chartered Accountant,” she said with pride.

In the summer of 2002, a very hot summer she recalls, the couple decided to read the letters that had been tucked away in a box. The memories came flooding back.

“I decided I’ve got to type the letters before they disintegrate,” she said leafing through the pages to the last one written July 1945: “Darling have you noticed how often our letters cross expressing the same thought or

recalling the same incident in our life together. I have been thrilled lately to find that evidently as I am writing you, you are thinking very much

the same things as I.” She points to one very special letter written March 1945 that has been framed and is hanging on her wall.

“There are so many things I’d like to say. If only I had the ability to express all my sentiments and emotions on paper,” he wrote followed

by some personal thoughts.

“I particularly love this one,” she said.

Her husband passed away January 2007.

“I hope this story gives people a feel of what it was like to live through those times … it’s vital that we remember,” said Matthews.

Bennett said she believes all young people should learn about the significance of Remembrance Day. “Children today should be taught what it’s all about,” she said.

She hopes to be at the service again this year, health permitting.

Swim to Survive at Quinte Sports and Wellness EMC News - As the new school year is under way, the City of Belleville is happy to announce their partnerships with the Hastings and Prince Edward District and Algon-

quin and Lakeshore District School Boards in the Swim to Survive program through a grant from the Lifesaving Society.

This free Swim to Sur-

vive program is geared toward Grade 3 students. The life skill of swimming is easier to learn as a child and if this window of opportunity is not captured early,

it is less likely the skill will be learned as an adult. Last year, 88,000 Ontario Grade 3 students participated in this program. All local elementary schools have been

CVCA board accepts long-range plan

By Judy Backus

EMC News - Marmora After many meetings spanning several months, along with lengthy discussion and deliberation, the Crowe Valley Conservation Authority (CVCA) Long-range Plan was approved unanimously by both the committee, chaired

by Barry Rand of North Kawartha, and the Board on November 2.

The executive summary details the importance of having such a plan in place, in view of future reductions in funding such as that of Provincial Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure (WECI). One point made was that it was “critical to examine every available source of funding for support at the provincial, federal, and local level.”

The summary indicated that support in putting together the plan had come from a number of sources, among them member municipalities and other conservation authorities, adding that

the plan would require strong commitment from (CVCA) board and staff as well as the ten member municipalities.

The plan includes a study of both operating and capital expenditure requirements over the next ten years, a move to address health and safety issues at Wollaston, Marmora and Belmont dams as well as work to determine the cause of low water levels experienced at Belmont Lake this past summer. Under the heading of administration, the plan suggests there be “upgraded training and automated reporting tied to the accounting system,” and that, in order to reduce auditor fees, staff perform the yearend reconciliations.

Office equipment was also targeted, one suggestion being to upgrade the oldest computers and water/flow level monitors, “to a maintainable level.”

Another involved the installation of a network server which would “permit data storage and backup, improved security and access to common data-

bases and printers.”

Wages of CVCA staff had also been surveyed and compared with those of other similar conservation authorities, the findings being that for the most part, they were in line.

In looking ahead at municipal levies, the plan recommended in its list of priorities, that for the years 2013 to 2017 the increase remain at six per cent then move to one per cent above the rate of inflation after that, “to provide for capital spending and adequate reserves.”

Once the long-range plan portion of the meeting had concluded, the regular board meeting followed.

General Manager Tim Pidduck presented an update on the Belmont Dam and the low water situation on Belmont Lake saying a request for quotes had been put out with the response due on November 5. He mentioned three contractors appeared to be interested in the work which would involve the

verse the situation. He also mentioned that the annual winter drawdown had begun.

He went on to explain that the combination of precipitation and the drawdown of

installation of a coffer dam within a bay of the dam, then sealing off the upstream stop logs to isolate the bay and determine if there was leakage at that location. If a leak was not detected at that bay, then, as Pidduck pointed out, “The same process would have to take place at the other bays.” With regard to costs, a sum has been set aside for the work, but should the quote be higher than meets the comfort level of the general manager, a phone poll of board members will be conducted.

CVCA will be looking to fill a position vacant since September, that being a generic regulations officer. A decision was made to proceed with the hiring process and to advertise it as being a temporary full-time position which will be reviewed in six months time.

With regard to water levels throughout the watershed, Pidduck reported they had started to return to normal with the recent rainfall, but that it took some time to re-

the upper lakes had eased the situation on Belmont Lake which is now three inches above summer level. The drawdown on Belmont was begun this week.

Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre promotes swimming will learn how to swim is critically essential. It has been a goal of mine to see all citizens of Belleville learn how to swim and through offering the Swim to Survive program we can help save our children’s lives,” says Mayor Neil Ellis.

The opening of the aquatic facility located at

the newly expanded Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre means residents of the Quinte Region can now benefit by learning the life skill of swimming in three beautiful new pools. Swimming is offered daily and programs include lessons for all ages, water fitness classes, and scheduled open swimming times to prac-

tise your skills and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of water.

“Our team of aquatic staff believes strongly in the benefits of teaching all people water safety and swimming life skills. It is a great pleasure to watch these Grade Three students gaining confidence in the water while learning

from our highly qualified and dedicated staff,” boasts Tanya Grierson, Recreation Program Supervisor with the City of Belleville.

Interested teachers or members of the community are invited to contact the Recreation Office at 613966-4632, TTY 613-7719781 or email <prgeneral@ city.belleville.on.ca>.

Brighton/Quinte West Family Health Team adds services

By Ray Yurkowski

EMC News - Brighton Over the past few weeks, the Brighton/Quinte West Family Health Team has enhanced the level of services available to local residents.

At the Brighton centre, the new doctor in town is Dr. Michelle Cohen. Born and raised in Toronto, she also completed her medical training there. Two years out of residency, Dr. Cohen says the interest in rural medicine started when she enrolled in medical school. And after she had the opportunity for some hands-on work, both as an elective and a requirement to graduate, she was hooked.

“I developed an appreciation for the way rural doctors tend to have very broad practices with a lot of variety and also develop this really great, close relationship with

their patients,” she said. “It’s true primary care, the oldschool definition of the term.

It really appealed to me.”

And how did a lifelong Toronto resident find Brighton?

“We’ve been hanging out

in the area anyway,” explained Dr. Cohen. “My husband and I have done some camping in the area for the last five years or so.”

For now, she’ll be sharing a practice with Dr. Richard Wiginton with an eye to more work in the area hospitals at Trenton and Campbellford.

“This works out really well for both of us,” said Dr. Wiginton. “Less than full time is ideal for her and it’s giving me a chance to not work as much, which is exactly where I want to be.

Our patients are getting the same, if not more, coverage in terms of a doctor being in the office.”

The Brighton Team also added pharmacist Teresa Stanavech who’s been eyeing a position at her hometown centre for awhile.

Originally from Ajax, Sta-

navech has been living in the area for almost nine years, moving to work with Quinte Healthcare. After four and a half years, she was enticed by an offer at Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay.

“I’ve been waiting for this group to get a position as Family Health Team pharmacist,” she said, and when the job became a reality in this summer, it didn’t take long for her to apply.

“I’ve never been so scared I wouldn’t get a job in my life,” says Stanavech of the competition process. “I wanted this so bad.”

Part of her job will be providing a medication resource for physicians and the rest of the team as well as providing links to the hospitals, local retail pharmacists and oneon-one with patients.

“Medications are so complicated for somebody who doesn’t know,” said Stanavech. “It’s teaching them,

helping them and working with their retail pharmacist. I’m just another person in the system to help them along with what they’re doing.

“We’re very happy to have her,” said Health Team executive director Nancy

Archer. “She’ll be working with patients and staff, not to dispense medications, but on patient education, medication reconciliation and to improve quality of care.”

And the good news keeps on coming. In Trenton, Brighton resident, Dr. Erin Gow started work this week.

Physician recruitment is an ongoing concern in Brighton.

And the Brighton Health Services Centre (BHSC) board of directors is looking at remodelling to give the doctors a place to practise.

“Discussions are currently under way with an architect to outline possible plans for renovations to accommodate additional doctors, but these things take time,” said BHSC treasurer Bruce Davis, who will be presenting a report to municipal council on November 19. “We’ve got two on the hook and I hope to talk about both of those at that presentation.”

Belgium’s In Flanders Fields Museum reopens in 2012

By John M. Smith

EMC Lifestyles - A couple of years ago, I wrote a Remembrance Day article about a visit to the In Flanders Fields Museum in Ieper (Ypres), Belgium, but since that time the museum has undergone significant renovations and expansion lasting more than a year, in preparation for the centenary of “The Great War” of 1914-1918. The new museum was reopened to the public on June 11, 2012, and I visited it the very next day near the end of my monthlong European adventure trek.

The museum, <www.inflandersfields.be/en>, is now bigger and better than ever, and its new permanent exhibition clearly depicts the history of “The Great War” (World War I), including the invasion of Belgium, the years of trench warfare, and the long-lasting aftereffects.

It’s permanently housed in the Cloth Hall (called the “Lakenhalle” in Flemish), and it’s named, of course, after John McCrae’s renowned World War I poem.

Canadian soldier and physician John McCrae had been working in the Essex Farm

area, in a dressing station that was nothing more than a primitive dugout in the canal embankment, and here he saw an ever-increasing number of severely wounded, dying, and dead soldiers. This would certainly have been a contributing factor to his writing his famous poem, but it seems that “the final straw” which led to McCrae penning In Flanders Fields was the death on the battlefield, on May 2, 1915, of good friend Alexis Heimer, only 22 years of age. It’s believed the poem was written in this same area the very next day and in a relatively short period of time. It was as if John McCrae suddenly felt the need to “get his feelings down” on paper. The poem was eventually published (anonymously) in Punch, and he was later acknowledged to be its author. In the poem, a common soldier speaks to the reader directly from the battlefield; he acknowledges his and others’ deaths, “We are the Dead,” and he begs not to be forgotten after his death— and for others to “take up our quarrel with the foe.” The poem prominently features “poppies,” which grew wild in the fields and cemeteries of

Flanders (western Belgium), and the poppy has since emerged as our symbol of remembrance.

As I entered the reopened “In Flanders Fields Museum” in June, I was handed a personal poppy bracelet, for an extra 1 EUR, and it could be returned for a refund at the end of the visit. This bracelet contained a microchip which activated the appropriate language for the individual wearer as all the explanations were available in four languages in this museum, and this allowed me to follow four personal stories of individual soldiers, in English, as I walked through the roomy exhibit. I discovered there were several interactive installations and personal anecdotes by “ordinary” people. As I passed the various displays, I heard rather somber music playing in the background and encountered several short films, multimedia presentations, touch screens, photos, diary passages, poetry excerpts, inscriptions, and artefacts. There was even a special section dedicated to the Canadian soldier with a display of their distinctive uniforms.

While exploring this fascinating museum, I learned some of the soldiers (on both sides), thinking the war would end soon, had devised a spontaneous Christmas ceasefire that first year (1914) and buried their dead, sang carols, and even kicked a ball around together!

In addition to the museum’s interesting, expanded displays, it also houses new education space for workshops, a World War I Knowledge Centre, a restaurant, a souvenir shop, and Ieper’s Tourist Office <www.toerisme-ieper.be/en/>. The mu-

seum’s entry fee is 8 EUR for an adult, 1 EUR for a youth, and is free for a child (under 7). It’s also possible to pay an extra 2 EUR, while in this historic building, and ascend the bell tower’s 231 steps for a great view of the city and the nearby battlefields.

I discovered John McCrae is considered to be a kind of “celebrity” in the Ypres/Ieper area, for not only is the museum named after his poem, but there’s also a memorial plaque in French and English in the baptismal chapel of nearby St. George’s Memorial Church, Anglican, which reads: “Dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, author of the poem, ‘In Flanders Fields’, and all ranks of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps who paid the supreme sacrifice in the first and second world wars.”

The Canadian soldier is honoured in the museum.

I also visited the nearby Essex Farm area, where the poem was actually written, and it’s now the location of the “John McCrae Site.” I found a plaque to commemorate this and the words of the poem were inscribed here, in stone. I saw where the walking wounded would have been patched up and sent back to the nearby battlefield, the room for the stretcher cases, and the room for the very seriously wounded who were wait-

ing to be evacuated—or for death.

Frankford Fantasy is ready for the light extravaganza

By Kate Everson

R0011727099

Sandi Schlei does her best to put screws into the wooden steps in front of the church.

EMC News - Frankford It was a very cold, windy day in Frankford Tourist Park on November 3. Volunteers showed up dressed in winter coats and scarves, ready to take on the daunting task of decorating the annual Christmas Fantasy to be turned on November 24 at 5 p.m.

“The lights go on after the Santa Claus parade,” said organizer Lynda Reid.

The display includes a variety of different items built up over the years and

added to each season. There are penguins and igloos, a church with a steeple, moving geese over the cold Trent River, and of course, a candy store. Two new ones have been added on the pavilion: Santa in a helicopter and in an airplane with the banner Ho Ho Ho. There is also a new gingerbread house and Santa on a John Deere tractor.

Volunteers Randy and Cathy Steenburg were

busy stringing lights on the Memory Tree at the park entrance, where a sign will be erected with the names of those family and friends to be remembered this Christmas season.

Arie DeRaaf and Ron Moss got some Christmas trees set up and Matt Couperus was busy with a screw gun at the village mural along with Nick VanGemeren, Rob Graham and Doug Phillips. Sandi Schlei

did her best with a manual screwdriver putting together stairs near the brightly coloured church. Cameron Sager and Garland Conley set stakes in the ground to hold up a Harley Davidson motorcycle in lights near the canteen. Patricia and Vern Davenport set up the tall decorations by the water, while Chris Rose (and friends) helped get the geese moving along the shore.

Many more volunteers helped out, and these are just a few names collected by a cold reporter in a few minutes. Congratulations to all who contributed to a very worthwhile display which will be on every day until the New Year.

The Frankford Santa Claus parade will be held on Saturday, November 24, starting at 2 p.m. immediately followed by Santa at the Legion then the lighting of the park at 5 p.m. with carollers and hot chocolate.

The Trenton Santa Claus parade will be held on Sunday, November 25, followed by their lighting of the Fantasy in Fraser Park, organized by the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and many volunteers.

How many volunteers does it take to wrap up a church? As many as you can get on a cold, windy day!

LIFESTYLES

Reality Check:

Sheila Wray Gregoire EMC Lifestyles - Last week, our first trick-or-treaters were a pair of 13-year-old girls equipped with massive pillow cases but somehow missing costumes. Nevertheless, we handed over the required candy and they moved on.

I noted this on Facebook, and thus launched a long con-

versation about whether or not it’s appropriate for teens to trick or treat. My philosophy was always, “if you’re old enough to have a part-time job, you shouldn’t be hitting up your neighbours for free stuff.” But I certainly give candy to all who ask. I do enjoy talking to the neighbourhood kids, and it’s one of the few times of year when you feel like a real community.

Nevertheless, I’m slightly unsettled by the cheerleading for the “no age limit on trickor-treating” crowd. One commenter said this, “They go to school until they’re eighteen, so they’re children until they’re eighteen. Let them be children!”

And therein lies my problem. It’s not really about

When does childhood end?

Hallowe’en; it’s about how our culture views those teen years. Are teens children until they’re eighteen? Or, to put it another way, at what age do we expect kids to be adults? If we want them to be adults when they’re eighteen or twenty, able to live in an apartment and buy their own food, then they can’t be children until they’re eighteen. They need a transition period. I hear people complain all the time about their twenty-somethings who won’t grow up and won’t get a job and make very poor relationship decisions, but if you don’t give them that transition time when they’re teens, it’s only natural that they would prolong it into their twenties.

Cater to a teen by feeding them, doing their laundry, chauffeuring them, handing over money, and making their lives easy and they’re not magically going to become a responsible adult at nineteen.

Some may, but it’s rare.

Of course we parents love our kids and want to shield them from the difficulties we face. Sometimes, though, we go overboard and forget that we can kill with kindness.

After all, is it kind to teens to prolong childhood and avoid responsibility? Our culture tends to think that being entertained and responsibility free is the pinnacle of human happiness, yet I have felt the most pleasure in my life not in those moments when I have been a responsibility free

bump on a log, but instead when I have accomplished something worthwhile. Having purpose is valuable, in and of itself, and too often we prevent children from having these experiences because we think that they really are children right up until they leave home.

We need to get back to viewing the high school years as a true transition between childhood and adulthood. You are no longer a child, so childish things should be behind you. Do your own laundry.

Learn to cook seven meals so that you can eat something different each night of the week when you’re on your own. Get a part-time job to pay for your own iTunes and electronics and some clothes.

Get your own bank account and start a budget. Pay for your own cell phone, and research which plan is most affordable. Research careers, because you’re going to need to figure things out soon since you aren’t living in my basement forever.

Pointing teenagers to the route to independence, maturity, and purpose isn’t being stingy, even if it may mean that they have to leave some parts of childhood behind. It’s how we grow up. And if they don’t grow up between fourteen and eighteen, then they likely won’t grow up until at least their mid-twenties. Is that really what we want?

The Good Earth: Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial EMC Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, there are no words to express the meaning of this memorial; each of us will have very different and personal thoughts. When the idea was originally expressed, the response was both national and global; and immediate.

The support from local residents and businesses should be taken to show the depth of support, appreciation and meaning we Canadians have for those who represent us in such times and such places.

When you visit the memorial you will see a small garden in the background.

I’d like to tell you a little bit about the plants you will see.

Each plant had to meet specific requirements. There had to be a symbolism that could be associated with each one.

The peculiar interpretation in this column is mine; each visitor will have their own idea.

They had to be tough and hardy to survive both our climate and the rigours of being in a public park. For this reason, even though we may be very confident in the origin

of these plants, research was carried out and each of these plants are listed as growing in Afghanistan, mostly in cultivated gardens. They had to provide year-round interest and they had to look good together. They had to be common enough to be available in a variety of sizes in case a replacement was needed. (As an aside, GR, “common” should not be taken as a negative.

These plants can be seen to represent common folk who did uncommon things.)

At the moment, there is quite a bit of open space between the plantings which will diminish as they grow.

There is a balance between “instant” garden and the ability of the plant to sustain itself in its new lodgings. At maturity, with minimum pruning, this garden will evolve into a full presentation without overcrowding or single plant dominance. Additionally, there are times when the colours present might not be as vivid as folks might wish. For that reason there are two planting strips in the

bed which, from the front perspective, will flank the monuments themselves. This space can be used for wreaths, crosses, swags, plunged plants, etc.

The plant list is: Barberry, Berberis thunbergii “Royal Cloak”; Burning bush, “Euonymus alatus Compacta”; Garden juniper, Juniperus procumbens “Nana”; Orange Flame grass, Miscanthus sinensis Andersson subsp. purpurascens; Red switch grass, Panicum virgatum “Shenandoah”; and, Dwarf Ramapo rhododendron, Rhododendron x Ramapo (H-1).

Fall presentation: from first frost to early winter. In the event of a late or warm fall, the bright red leaves of the burning bush and the rustier red of the rhododendron combined with the orange blades of the flame grass are evocative of many images, blood, flames and better yet, the fierce determination of our compatriots. The barberry too, may have some rusty leaves still attached but the

compelling feature will be the sharp piercing thorns creating as impenetrable a barrier as concertina wire. The tall feathery plumes of the flame grass can be likened to banners or guidons drawing attention to the site; the open airy panicles of the switch grass resonate and dance with the slightest caress of wind.

Winter presentation: the winged or corky bark on the burning bush will catch both hoar frost and snow, creating

starkly distinct architecture, as will the barberry’s thorns.

Both of these shrubs will have small orange berries and they will attract small seed eating birds such as chickadees. The rhododendron may appear barren of life but next year’s buds will be prominently displayed with its promise of early spring flowering. The green of the juniper will always be there, tenacious, ever expanding.

EMC Lifestyles - Belleville - The annual Festival of the Native Arts at Loyalist College is a place of learning and cultural sampling.

Paul Latchford, the coordinator of Aboriginal Services at Loyalist College, said the 17th annual edition of the event featured musical and cultural entertainment from aboriginal individuals and groups from all around the surrounding area.

Latchford noted perhaps a thousand people passed through the doors at the college to participate in the annual event.

More than 25 vendors selling traditional food and native wares, religious icons and handmade artisan works to those selling printed T-shirts and baseball caps and in between were all present.

“It’s a sharing for the college and the Aboriginal Resource Centre and we do not charge the vendors at all so we have lots of people come in based on that it also allows for the free admission,” said Latchford.

Those present got a chance to see performances

by Lynn Brant, the Tyendinaga Singers, Armour Hill big drums, and David Finkle and David Maracle.

Latchford said the importance of the annual event is twofold, supporting the aboriginal communities and the non-native

“Fergusson, a trusted name in home heating for over 25 years”

community as well.

“They get a chance to come in and really share the culture, language, traditions, practices, medicines and ways of knowing of native people,” he said.

Latchford said the most common remark from visitors was the commonalities between natives and nonnatives.

“Whether it is the economy, or life, whether it rains too much or not enough, we all share the same, we all walk the same path so today is a good day to visit and just feel welcome … equal value and respected,” said Latchford.

The Aboriginal Resource Centre at Loyalist College maximizes opportunities for aboriginal students to realize their full academic and personal potential. With several Aboriginal Resource Centre staff members, including a full-time math tutor, academic liaison and outreach officer, the centre

offers students easy access to academic and individual counselling. Together, they reach hundreds of students.

Their services, as well as the friendship provided by the centre, help students to

achieve rewarding jobs by developing the fundamental academic, teamwork and personal management skills necessary to succeed in the changing world of work.

Afghanistan Memorial Continued from page B9

Spring presentation: as the snow melts, the everpresent green juniper will be first to show awakening followed shortly by the opening flowers of the rhodos.

A line from a Gordon Lightfoot song comes to mind, “And the earth shall bring new life to them, but only the grass will grow once more.” Look to the grasses to see the new shoots coming forth.

Summer presentation: Each plant in full vigour, will display their characteristics and qualities in full boldness.

It was important that these “common” plants did not overwhelm or detract from the monument.

Their purpose is to provide a backdrop and perhaps add some direction for reflection.

From the north side, the mature garden will add an attractive backdrop to the park grounds and provide a calming barrier for those visiting the monument.

From the Trews song Highway of Heroes, the closing line, “Who could ask for more?”

From me, “For the uniforms you wear and for what you do, thank-you.”

Arts Quinte West gallery offers first juried show

By Kate Everson

EMC Lifestyles - Trenton Arts Quinte West gallery in downtown Trenton had a reception for its first juried show on November 1.

“Hats off to all who participated in the show,” said juror Pamela Carter. “Many hours were involved.”

She also congratulated the group for opening a gal-

lery.

“It’s lovely to have a gallery on a community street where everyone can sneak in here for a secret pleasure,” she said with a smile.

“It’s a wonderful oasis.”

She congratulated the participants and hoped the ones who were not selected do not get discouraged. She noted her own work has

been turned down many times.

“I have been painting for the past twenty years and am just getting the hang of it,” she said with a laugh.

“Every painting is a lesson for the next one.”

Gallery manager Mandy Bing gave out prizes from local businesses for the winners.

“It’s a delight to have such pieces on the wall,” she said. “We have come so far in a few short months.”

There were 65 entries for the juried show. Two honourable mentions went to Waterstudy, Lake Huron Waves by Lisa Farrell and Revenge, a photograph by Sean Scally, both receiving a gift certificate for 20 per cent off framing at Timberwolf Gallery.

Third place went to Susan Walker for her watercolour of Clematis in Summer, winning a gift certificate for $25 from Tomasso’s restaurant.

Second place was Lisa Farrell for her oil painting of Dancing Hibiscus which won her a $50 certificate from Rosehips Flower Shop in Trenton.

Best in Show went to Dana Mandeville for her unique hanging sculpture called Epiphany made from leather. She took home a $150 gift certificate from Wallack’s Art Supplies in Kingston.

“Epiphany is about a sudden and drastic realization,” Mandeville explained. She said she started with one female figure falling down, which led to another and another figure, representing a painful realization and finally embracing the real, beautiful person.

“It is all sewn leather stuffed with spare fabric from my quilting,” she added.

Mandeville has been in Trenton with her husband and son for six years. She just joined Arts Quinte West and this is her first juried show. Her father and grandfather were Metis and her grandmother Ojibway.

Her husband Paul Hill is a sculptor and offers her on-

going encouragement. Her son, nine, is also learning to be an artist.

She said she entered one other piece to the show but it wasn’t accepted. “It was made with sticks,” she said.

“It was a little weird for Trenton.”

Pork Tenderloin Local angler heads south to compete Fresh 5.45/g LESS THAN 1/2 PRICE in the Lone Star State EMC Sports - Belleville Local angler Ashley Rae will be sporting the Bay of Quinte Region logo as she competes in the second annual Hobie Fishing World Championship in Austin, Texas, starting this weekend.

“Bay of Quinte Region has earned a reputation across North America as one of the best places for fishing in Canada. It’s great to see our talented anglers being recognized and representing the region on the world stage,”

says Ryan Williams, board president of Bay of Quinte Tourist Council.

“The excitement of this adventure is overwhelming,” says Rae. “I will be spending seven days with over 40 kayak anglers from around the world that have a crazy passion for kayak fishing like I do.

It’s a dream trip, and the support from friends, family, anglers worldwide and the Bay of Quinte Region makes me feel that following my dream has been the right thing to do all

along.”

Rae, 27, grew up in the area and learned to fish on the Bay of Quinte. She is one of only two Canadians in the championship.

Rae regularly describes her fishing experiences in her online blog, <www.

SheLovesToFish.com>.

The Hobie Fishing World Championship will be held in Austin, Texas, November 4 until 9, 2012.

The competition sees anglers from across the globe competing in identically rigged kayaks.

Shopping for the holidays comes early with bazaar

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - Everything from boots to baked goods to a new and exciting “unique

boutique” will be featured at the Campbellford hospital auxiliary’s Christmas bazaar taking place this Saturday.

It is being held at St. John’s

United Church, Bridge Street, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“You can do your Christmas shopping early, really,” exclaimed Norah McGow-

Local business wins award

EMC News - The Community Futures Business of the Year for ComfortCountry was presented to The Pellet Power Company in Marmora owned by Maryann Taylor. The company specializes in selling and servicing pellet burning stoves as well as the fuel pellets. A secondary branch of the business is focused on training technicians

to work in the field of heating with wood and other solid fuels. In addition to their pellet stove products, they also carry wood stoves, propane stoves and fireplaces.

Their high level business values are knowledge and customer care. The downturn in the economy forced them to look at their expenses and where their customers were

coming from. They discovered that 90 per cent of their new business was coming from referrals.

“We largely attribute this fact to the emphasis we have placed on having well-trained, knowledgeable service technicians passing along what is necessary to create a well-informed customer base,” says Maryann.

an, convenor of the bazaar this year and first vice president of the non-profit organization.

“The time was right in my life to take this on,” she told EMC, having joined the auxiliary about a year ago.

“I’ve been following the auxiliary for years and I finally took the plunge and joined. I just wanted to get involved and get to know people,” she added.

McGowan and dozens of auxiliary volunteers have been working hard in preparation for the bazaar, one of two big fund raisers for this group.

The other is the Polar Bear Plunge which is held in January.

“We’ve got brand new items at bargain prices,” said McGowan.

There are a couple of new features to this year’s bazaar, the first is the boutique.

“We decided not to do the white elephant table,” she explained.

“The boutique is brand new this year and we’ve got items that are new and nearly new,” she said.

Items have been donated by auxiliary members and their friends.

“I was helping price yesterday and wow, new leather purses for $3 and $5, sweaters, all prices and we have a couple of leather coats, that are just a steal … things are priced to sell,” she said with enthusiasm.

Everything from evening

This weekend the Auxiliary to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital is once again holding its ever popular Christmas bazaar, one of their major fund-raising events and Nora McGowan, who volunteers in the gift shop is convenor this time around. Photo: Sue Dickens

bags to winter boots, hats, coats, jewellery and “plus plus plus.”

Also new this year will be “hot foods to go.”

“We will have hot pots of everything from soups to mac and cheese and we’ll probably get lots of chili and I think there will be cabbage rolls so there will be plenty of different food to choose from,” said McGowan.

As well there will be seating for those wanting to enjoy lunch. For $6 there will be sandwiches with homemade cookies and squares and tea or coffee.

Changing even more

things up even more, the bake sale will be a hot spot this year.

“Our bake sale is always such a success so we are expanding that and have asked our members for more preserves, more jellies, more baked goods,” said McGowan.

There will also be a silent auction of wreaths and centrepieces.

And because the Festival of Trees is not being held this year there will be a raffle for a full-size decorated Christmas tree that has been donated. There will also be for a raffle for a gift basket and floral arrangement, also donated.

“We’re also doing a whole section for knitted goods and quilted goods,” said McGowan.

“All the items are handmade. We have a knitters group and quilters group you know,” she added.

There will be 24 tables in all set up.

With 74 active members and a membership list of 150 men and women the auxiliary is a thriving organization.

Money raised at the bazaar will go toward their current project, a central monitoring station upgrade and mobile unit which will cost $58,650.

The campaign began this past summer and is expected to take about one year.

“We work hard, and we appreciate all the help we get from everyone. This is what makes events like this successful,” said McGowan.
