EMC Events - Campbellford - Flying in from the North Pole with his reindeer jolly Saint Nicholas landed in town the same day as the first few flakes of snow for the festive season.

Sitting atop his sleigh pulled by his eight reindeer with Rudolf in the lead, the portly white-haired mythical figure brought with him good cheer to the crowd that lined the streets to watch the traditional Santa Claus Parade.

Organized by co-chairs Nancy Allanson and Brian Redden the theme this year was “Glitter and Gold.”

From the schoolchildren to marching bands to clubs and organizations decorated floats lined the parade route and were joined by Christmas elves and shiny red fire trucks while candy canes

and Christmas tuques were handed out and food collected for the local food bank.

Santa Claus took time out of his busy day to greet children at Old Mill Park before flying off to his other stops that day.

Jolly old Saint Nicholas will be visiting Warkworth Friday, December 7, for their annual evening parade.

There were about 55 entries in this year’s parade.

The float entry winners are: Business Float: Campbellford Curves - Groovin’ to a Disco Beat; Community Organization (a tie): Aron Theatre Co-operative, and Christian Community Group; Individual: Jayden Corbeil - Santa’s Jealous of My Ride; Youth Organization: Campbellford Brownies; Honourable Mention: CKOL 93.7 Please see “Jolly” on page 3

“A disconnect” with group homes/foster homes EMC News - Campbellford - The Municipality of Trent Hills, through no fault of its own, has no idea how many group homes or foster homes are located within its boundaries.

That fact became intertwined with other issues at a round table meeting held here on Monday with representatives from the Police Services Board (PSB), the Children’s Aid Society, council members, and foster home and group home operators that chose to show up.

Three items were on the agenda: a discussion of the issues of licensing (permits), the number of calls for service to the Northumberland OPP from group homes and foster homes and possible solutions for a better understanding of the procedures of these homes and the way they operate.

As far as permits go, almost none of the operators at the meeting knew there was a permit required annually to operate in Trent Hills.

“All we’re looking for is compliance with all our by-

laws,” said the mayor.

By the time it was all over, everyone agreed, there is a disconnect that needs to be solved in order to move forward.

“I think there needs to be more communication …

I believe there is a disconnect,” said Camille Edwards, a member of the PSB. Hoping to advance the discussions toward a solution Inspector Doug Borton, Northumberland OPP, presented a plan based on the Ontario Mobilization and Engagement Model of Policing. Sanctioned by

the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police it is a model being used successfully by the Ottawa Police Department among others.

“Where we would like to go is to move toward a safer community,” he said.

“We are not a taxi service, we are not involved in the discipline of [group home/ foster home] residents and we’re not a substitute for parenting and that is something that has to be very clear,” he noted.

“Part of the proposal I am looking at is having more of a stronger relationship

Life-saving equipment worth every penny

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Trent Hills Telescopic rams, spreaders, cutters, hydraulic power units: these are the rescue tools that can make the difference between life and death.

And the Municipality of Trent Hills Fire Department just acquired a new set of all of these items to add to their existing equipment.

“The municipality invested $32,000 and the Hastings Fire Association invested about $6,000,” said Fire Chief Tim Blake.

“The association has really stepped up.”

He was joined by Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, Hastings Fire Station Captain Doug Irvine and Deputy Chief John Austin at an unveiling of the new equipment to showcase it at the request of EMC Community Newspaper.

There are already two sets of these rescue tools in Campbellford and one

in Hastings so the new set goes to the Hastings station. The Warkworth station is outfitted with two sets as well although the fire chief did admit they are a different make and when it comes time to upgrade a set of rescue tools will be purchased to match what the rest of the department has on hand.

“We’re trying to get uniform equipment for all the stations,” said Chief Blake.

The department’s first set of extrication equipment was purchased in 1971, then referred to as the “jaws of life.”

It was replaced in 2001 so the life of this type of equipment can be as long as 30 years.

“This is all part of my tenyear fire master plan,” said Chief Blake, noting the fire service now has the capability to extricate from three vehicles at any given time.

“We’ve used our equipment seven times this year alone,” he said, stressing the importance of these tools.

For Mayor Macmillan the purchase is well worth the dollars spent.

“It’s extremely critical to all of our citizens that all the firefighters have the right tools for doing the job and these are things that are used commonly.

“It’s really great that the Hastings [Fire] Association took it upon themselves to fund raise and buy this, as all the halls do, to get together in fund-raising activities to help fill those gaps,” he added.

For Captain Doug Irvine of the Hastings station, a firefighter with decades of experience on the job, the purchase is a must.

“It’s vitally important for us to put new equipment into play and this is top quality second to none. The technology here with the CORE [technology] hoses and the smaller pump [DPU30 Compact Duo Pump] … it’s easier for one man to deploy a lot of the system. You can grab

a hose and the pump and a tool and go,” he said stressing as well the importance of training.

Chief Blake agreed.

“Training is a big thing.

Training is the key to success. You have to do it over and over,” said Blake.

“There is so much for us to remember and do that it has to be second nature,” added Irvine.

“If we only use this once and save a life it’s worth it,” said Deputy Chief Austin.

All agreed with the mayor when he pointed out that it is thanks to the generosity of Reg Brown (owner of Reg Brown Auto Wreckers) that there is an unending supply of vehicles for the firefighters to use during training.

The fire department receives about 800 calls annually, 50 per cent of which are medical.

“Somebody’s life is going to rely on this stuff— starting tomorrow,” said the mayor.

other classes “status quo.”

Once that information is delivered to the municipality “the final values will replace the estimates and the tax rates will be confirmed,” she said. “Assessment data plays a key role in final figure.”

“In previous years it was quite a bit higher but the market is levelling out a little bit so we opted to go a little more conservative,” Nesbitt added.

An illustration of four properties with no assessment increase translated into a tax increase of .78 per cent.

“We all know that’s not the case. In most circum-

stances the assessed value will increase.”

She provided a more elaborate illustration reflecting the impact of a two per cent assessment change and 2.68 per cent tax increase on a range of properties. All of that information will be posted on the township’s web site as part of the draft budget package.

In the water budget, Nesbitt says a loss of ten residential and five commercial users has led to a loss of around $1,000 a month.

“Surprisingly, ten customers dramatically affects how your rates fluctuate.”

The $1 increase offsets that loss.

On the sewer side, Nesbitt said it was “time to hold the line because we know it’s a contentious issue and it’s difficult for folks to see increases year after year.”

They’ll balance the loss with a decrease in expenditures.

“There’s a lot of indicators of efficiencies and gains here,” Councillor Larry Ellis said of the draft budget.

“We’re much closer to where we should be than we were last year at the same time.

Hats off to staff for working to make this happen.”

a difference in the life of a child they need to know the police are there to support them as community members.”

Penny Peters, outside paid resource (OPS) worker with the Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society that services Northumberland, said, “When it comes to AWOL kids there are standards within our agency policy and ministry [Ministry of Community and Social Services] standard guidelines that have to be followed.”

“That’s non-negotiable when we feel the child is at risk, these folks [group home/foster home operators] have to call the police when a child is missing,” she explained.

Greg Farrant, chair of the PSB, told EMC later: “I can only speak to the PSB issues. Everybody is coming at it from different perspectives. Clearly there is a disconnect and we have to try and get rid of that and try to get everybody on the same page … I think this meeting is a good start.”

“hold the line” position on sewer rates.

Nesbitt has had to make some assumptions in her budget estimate on two “key pieces of information”— policing and assessment data—which will be reviewed and calculated into the budget when actual figures are available.

“This is a little bit earlier than we’ve presented the budget in past years so [we’ve had to] make some assumptions,” she said.

Last year, policing represented 17.3 per cent of the municipal tax requirement.

In her draft budget Nesbitt has “incorporated a four per cent increase in gross expenditures based on historical data.”

She has also estimated a portion of the grant funding to assist with policing costs.

“That four per cent was appropriate so that’s what we built in,” she said.

“As these estimates could impact taxation significantly if there are any changes they will be monitored and reported at the December 17 meeting.”

On assessment, Nesbit says she’s applied a two per cent increase to the residential tax class alone and left

between the group homes and the police officers such that the officers are not just there when an incident takes place.

Inspector Borton offered to designate one officer to act as a liaison for the home operators but he also asked that they provide a list of where they are and information about any high-risk individuals.

With policing costs at $3 million annually the cost of calls for service is increasing.

According to Borton only 20 per cent of the service calls are legitimate and 65 per cent are missing persons (kids who have gone AWOL).

“And when I see an address that has 100 calls a year I have a problem with that,” commented Mayor Macmillan.

Paul Robichaud of Robichaud Youth Services (with a group home in Warkworth) voiced his concerns stating, “At the end of the day we’re here to serve the kids and if a foster family chooses to make

Letter to the editor

Wyley plots the NHL and Bettman’s fate

Dear Editor, Watching the Grey Cup on Sunday night, I’m the only one in the room who remembered Joe Krol, a sixfoot 200-pound Polish quarterback from Hamilton who won five Grey Cups with the Argos. Joe, who could pass, kick and run, was considered as possibly the most versatile player in Canadian football history. Together with Royal Copeland, the pair became the formidable “Gold Dust Twins.” Little kids in the 1940s learned how to drop-kick a football through the uprights and most Ontario kids worshipped their heroes like Copeland and King Krol.

Hero worship didn’t stop with the Argos, however.

Glossy autographed 8x10 “action” pictures from Beehive Corn Syrup were eagerly sent for, (accompanied by the required labels), collected, and duly worshiped during the golden years of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

From 1946 to 1951 the Leafs won four Stanley Cups in five years and heroes for little Canadian kids abounded. You listened to the radio then, and thrilled to the fan with the leather-lungs at

Maple Leaf Gardens who reverberated the building periodically with “Come onnn teeder!” when captain Ted Kennedy started a rush.

Ironically there was another pair of Gold Dust Twins of the hockey variety, Jim Thomson and Gus Mortson, who quickly became the pattern for every aspiring young defenceman of the era. Howie Meeker, prior to his “Golly Gee Whiz” announcer days, won the Calder (rookie) Trophy, and was an alert, speedy goal scorer. But when the Leafs wanted clear unadulterated toughness, they turned in those days to Wild Bill Ezinicki. He could swing his hip into an onrushing player so deftly that the unfortunate recipient of this thundering check would cartwheel high into the air and most often immediately repair to the dressing room. Foster Hewitt brought us tales of these huge body-checks so often that the legend stuck with me forever. Ezinicki died October 11, 2012, at 88 years old, and even though we never had TV in those days, I swear I “saw” errant bodies flung high into the rafters by Wild Bill’s fero-

cious checks.

The Commissioner of the NHL at that time was Clarence Campbell, a Rhodes Scholar who served on the legal staff at the Nuremberg War Trials. His justice was swift and unbiased, often disputed, (see Rocket Richard), but always obeyed. The contrast of the NHL from my vivid “little kid memories of heroes,” to the complete abandonment of both “little and big kid fans of today” is astounding. Gary Bettman is in fact now presiding over the “Weasel War Trials”! Instead of offering leadership in restraining misguided and greedy participants on both sides of the table—like Clarence Campbell would have done—he demonstrates his true Weasel character.

We, who were so faithful for so long, don’t care about you NHL tyrants anymore.

You stiffed us, and ignored us, and gouged us, and were unfaithful to us. My final punishment must be meted out to the Chairman of the Weasels—Gary Bettman. I envision a long pass to him in full flight at centre ice. He is met by Wild Bill Ezinicki who delivers the most thunderous body-check of all time. A cart-wheeling Weasel is indeed thrown to the rafters where he is impaled upon a golden hockey stick and left to writhe there for eternity.

And so it was written.

Yours truly, Wyley Canuck, aka Ken Leavens, Stirling

Hostages in their own country Dear Editor, Re Oscar Zimmerman’s facts in his November 16 letter.

Fact 2 quote, “the ones who stayed …” The Palestinians are not free to come and go as stated. The Palestinians are surrounded by Israelis at

checkpoints. The Palestinians are hostages in their own country.

Israel is not a democratic country as Netanyahu suggests. Confiscating Palestinian land for Jewish settlers is not democratic.

EMC Editorial “There is no middle ground, no dialogue before [Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi] rescinds this declaration,” said prodemocracy advocate and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammed ElBaradei. “There is Gwynne Dyer no room for dialogue when a dictator imposes the most oppressive, abhorrent measures and then says “let us split the difference.”

Morsi won last June’s presidential election fair and square, but many Egyptians really are frightened that his decree of November 22 sweeps aside the democratic gains of last year’s revolution. The decree gives him absolute power, although he swears it is only for a limited time.

Morsi was already governing by decree pending a new parliamentary election, since the courts had dissolved the lower house of parliament because the election was flawed.

His latest decree declares that the courts cannot challenge any of his edicts until that new election takes place.

The decree also states that he can take any steps necessary to defeat undefined “threats to the revolution” and nobody can ask the courts to decide whether those steps are legal and justifiable. In theory, at least, Morsi has given himself greater powers than the former dictator, Hosni Mubarak, ever possessed.

This is as puzzling as it is alarming, since nothing in Morsi’s previous history suggests that he wants to be Egypt’s next dictator. He is a prominent member of the Muslim Brotherhood and shares its conservative social and religious values, but that organisation, the mainstay of opposition to Egypt’s military dictators during half a century of tyranny, has moved a long way from its radical and sometimes violent origins.

So was Morsi a wolf in sheep’s clothing, just waiting for the chance to impose Islamic rule on everybody, including liberals, Christians, and secular Egyptians? How else can you explain what he has just done?

The answer matters, because if Egypt, by far the most populous Arab country (90 million people), succumbs to a new tyranny, then the whole “Arab Spring” was just a brief illusion.

Morsi’s actions are wrong, but he is not actually aiming at a dictatorship. He just wants to thwart the Supreme Judicial Council, made up of judges who almost all date from the Mubarak era, which had already dismissed the first body charged with writing a new constitution. There were indications that it might be about to dissolve the second one on the same grounds.

The grounds were legally sound, for the first assembly chosen by parliament included a large number of MPs who belonged

Letter to the editor

to the Islamic parties, although the law said that members of parliament could not themselves sit in the Constituent Assembly.

A second Constituent Assembly, chosen in June, once again included members of parliament in clear defiance of the law, which is why it is facing further court challenges.

In the last month or so, the prospect that this new body will produce a constitution based mainly on Islamic law led most of the secular and Christian elements to withdraw.

That deprived it of a voting quorum, but the remaining members, including many MPs linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, carried on regardless, so there was a growing probability that a new court ruling would dismiss this assembly too.

Morsi moved swiftly, not only giving himself supreme powers beyond the ability of the courts to challenge, but specifically forbidding the Supreme Judicial Council to dismiss the second Constituent Assembly.

He also gave that assembly an extra two months to finish writing the constitution, after which it would have to be approved by referendum.

Only then (perhaps next May) would a new lower house of parliament be elected, and once the constitution is in place and the subsequent election is past, Morsi promised, he will relinquish his extraordinary powers.

But by then Egypt would have an Islamic constitution, and almost certainly a lower house of parliament dominated by the Islamic parties.

What is happening now, therefore, is not the rise of a new dictatorship but rather a ruthless political manoeuvre aimed at creating a democratic but Islamic Egypt. Naturally, it frightens a large proportion of the 49 per cent of Egyptians who voted against Morsi in the presidential election earlier this year, and it absolutely terrifies the country’s 8 million Christians.

Morsi’s edict has been met with impassioned protest in the streets, and the formation of a National Salvation Front aimed at uniting all non-Islamist groups to force Morsi to rescind his edicts. Its leaders include three of the candidates who ran against Morsi in the election earlier this year. But that may not be enough.

The truth is that the elections produced a parliamentary majority and a president who want to impose Islamic law, and that its opponents are using various legal devices in an attempt to stop the process. Moreover, a new constitution imposing Islamic law would almost certainly get a “yes” in a referendum.

But the other truth is that majorities in a democracy should not try to impose their religious and social views on large minorities who do not share them. Morsi is already showing signs of wanting to compromise, but, as ElBaradei pointed out, he cannot take these extreme measures and then offer to “split the difference.” Egypt is in for a rough ride.

A solution to our flawed political system

Dear Editor, I would like to commend Kurt Crist on his recent letter, and his perceptive observations about one of the major flaws in our parliamentary system. I have a similar solution, but I think we have to work through the political parties. I believe he is perfectly correct that Stephen Harper is a virtual dictator, being PM with a majority in parliament, because he commands the votes of all his party members.

The flaw that Kurt mentions is the fact that all MPs must vote the party line, except in those rare occasions of a free vote. In observing our system for 50 plus years, I believe

what happens is that new MPs are indoctrinated by the sitting members that parliament has a whole different culture, and all it’s traditions are sacrosanct, and not to be challenged.

To which I say, Tommyrot!

I believe the solution to the flaw Kurt mentioned, could be reformed, by simple agreement of all the political parties in the house. Instead of considering every vote, like a vote of confidence, they could and should, define the term of a confidence motion, and severely restrict such votes to a limited number. All other votes, would be considered free votes. By gosh, we then might actually have democracy break out.

MPs, instead of acting like trained seals, could actually vote their conscience, or better yet the polled opinion of their constituents.

To me this is just one of several reforms needed in our system because without them, both the federal and provincial government are increasing becoming more irrelevant to many younger people. I fear that one day they will call an election and no one will come out to vote! Could you imagine all the groaning and whining the politicians would make then!

All I want for Christmas is …

By Terry Bush EMC Editorial - We don’t really make Christmas lists around our place anymore. Instead we seem to always decide to give each other some lame, though expensive and much-needed home appliance or vehicle or if we’re lucky and nothing has broken down, a trip we’d already planned to take.

This year, we’ve once again decided to follow the same route forsaking our birthday and Christmas presents in search of knowledge and fun in some far-flung place.

People generally don’t understand why we put ourselves through the jet lag, risk of poisonous snakes and insects, heat, cold, humidity and paucity of English-speaking natives when we could just lie on a beach. When we’ve stood on the side of a road in the blazing midday sun for half a day wondering what became of that bus that was supposed to take us to our next destination five hours away, we usually wonder the same thing.

Fact of the matter is, we’re travellers and only fellow travellers can fully appreciate the allure of the many trials and tribulations that await us. We’ve tried to explain ourselves many times to no avail. People see us come home sick from our adventures and shake their heads.

Some vacation they say. And that’s the thing. It’s not a vacation, it’s a trip.

We’ll take a vacation when we’re older, we say, not really knowing what the word older means anymore.

Older when you’re in your teens means your twenties.

Older in your twenties means your forties. Now that we’re in our fifties and still run into people in their sixties walking through airports carrying backpacks, older means when we’re in our seventies.

Where once we could just grab a backpack and go, we now have to train for a couple of months so we don’t seize up the first day out. Maybe we already are older.

The difference between travelling and taking a vacation down south is simple. The smart people who travel to the Caribbean and spend their time at an all-inclusive resort, come home tanned and well-fed. They often don’t see much of the country and only get to know the locals who wait on them at the resort but that doesn’t really matter. The whole point of going south isn’t to immerse one’s self in local culture, it’s to head out with friends and family and experience a great time away from our frosty winters.

Same with the folks who love to cruise. Fly to where you get on the boat, board, kick back and have a good time. There will be several ports of call along the way where you can get off and shop. Your ship will usually be docked long enough to take a bus tour to see some of the local sights. Get back on and away you go. The buffet table awaits and once again, the pants may be a little snugger on the way home. (The more I write, the more I think everyone else knows more than we do about having a good time. We usually lose ten pounds per trip.)

With us, it’s all about getting away from everything North American and discovering what’s out there. It’s the allure of adventure and unpredictability. It’s about seeing wildlife in its natural habitat and people too. It’s about handing a little ball that cost a quarter in Canada to some barefoot child in tattered clothing and receiving a smile that stretches from ear to ear. It’s about being the last two people to board a beat up minivan bus with a broken frame that already has 25 smiling occupants sitting on top of each other. It’s about a friendly dump truck driver stopping in the middle of nowhere and asking if you’d like a ride to the next village and then having him arrange another ride for you in the back of a half-ton full of fruit.

Wherever we travel, we come home with great memories. Even the bad ones mellow with age and years later, we can even laugh at ourselves and some of the predicaments we’ve gotten ourselves into. The older we get, the more we realize how stupid and trusting we were and how close we could have been to not coming home at all.

When we watch television at home, we smile and look at each other whenever we see a familiar sight and say in unison, “We’ve been there.” There’s nothing quite like being self-satisfied and smug in the privacy of one’s own home.

We’ve made friends along the way and have stayed with some of them in their home countries and they’ve stayed with us. We hope to make many more.

My favourite reason to travel is once again this year I won’t have to travel to the Quinte Mall or any other store to purchase a Christmas gift for my wife because we’re eventually going to get on an airplane. While the rest of you are swearing and cursing at the people who are swearing and cursing at you, I’ll be looking at some Lonely Planet guidebook doing a little research on some foreign locale. Merry Christmas to me.

Chalk artists take it to the street

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Hastings It was arguably one of the biggest canvasses in Northumberland and students at Hastings Public School took full advantage of it. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 basked in an unusual burst of mid-November warmth as they chalked up the Albert Street sidewalk in front of the school and beyond with a creative, colourful and thoughtful melange of designs and messages denouncing bullying.

“It’s still mean if you hide behind the screen.”

“Don’t be a bystander; help the victim not the bully.”

“We wear pink to make bullies think.”

“Who are you to judge

people without knowing them?”

“Stop the hurt.”

“It’s art with a message,” said Grade 8 student Kenzie Peters who worked side-byside with Jordan Huble to create a sidewalk flowering with hearts.

“It was totally improvised.

We had no idea what we were going to do,” she said.

“I liked it because I like art,” Jordan added.

“It is good to get everyone involved and to get the younger ones to think about bullying,” Nancy Ohno, also in Grade 8, said. “It’s a really good activity and we all get to go outside and show off our creativity and people driving by get to see that our school is against bullying.”

Nancy says HPS is a friendly school and takes its anti-bullying stance seriously.

“Everyone is nice to each other,” she said. “Things like this get everyone involved and we all get to see the good sides of everybody; it focuses on the positive.”

She says cyber-bullying is just as bad as face-to-face teasing and taunting.

“Just because you can’t see someone’s face doesn’t mean they can’t feel it,” she said quoting one of the chalk messages: “Don’t be mean behind the screen.”

“It’s fun and gets the message out,” said Grade 8 student Serenity Meadus who chalked the phrase, “Treat people the way you want to

Councillors take waste pledge

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Norwood Asphodel-Norwood councillors have signed the Peterborough County waste pledge. The pledge encourages continued efforts to reduce waste generation and increase diversion and emphasizes education as well as the reduction of “barriers to public participation in waste management initiatives.”

The pledge also asks townships and the county to “set high standards for waste minimization and diversion in municipal buildings, parks and open spaces.”

Residents can sign the pledge while completing the county’s online survey.

The township’s public declaration was made during a discussion with Dave Bucholtz of Cambium Environmental and Laurie Westaway, the county’s manager of environmental services, about the draft waste management master plan that Cambium has prepared.

The survey is designed to “get some direction on how we move forward on some of these things,” Westaway said of the master plan and its key recommendations and framework for hitting 50, 60 and 75 per cent diversion targets over the next 20

years. The goal is to close in on 50 per cent by 2018, 66 per cent by 2023 and 75 per cent by 2033.

The current diversion rate is 39.4 per cent, well below the 50 per cent goal established 16 years ago. It’s also less than the 2010 “rural regional municipal grouping” average of 40.9 per cent.

Even though diversion rates grew by 4.8 per cent between 2008-2010, the county has a “long way to go in order to meet the socially desired and politically guided diversion rate of 60 per cent,” says Bucholtz.

One of the ways of meeting that target is by continuing efforts to align municipal waste bylaws and policies, he said.

At a cost of $1,225 Bucholtz says alignment would increase diversion rates by 1.8 per cent by 2018.

“It’s not very costly.”

Mayor Doug Pearcy asked specifically about bylaw alignment and expressed concerns about lightening them to help reach countywide consensus.

“In order for that to happen it might mean watering down the bar,” Pearcy said.

“It’s something I would have a concern with. I think we’re pretty progressive in

the community on waste. I think you should bring the rest of the county up to our standards.”

Westaway says the bylaw subcommittee shares Pearcy’s concerns and will meet again in the new year.

“It’s certainly not the intention of the county to water down [bylaws],” she stressed. “What we need to do is to figure out language in it so that it supports initiatives that are supportive of that bylaw.”

Pearcy says the user-pay, strict bag limit policy in Asphodel-Norwood is effective.

The purpose of alignment, he said, is to “bring them all up to the same level.”

“We are well on our way to [alignment],” said Westaway noting that two municipalities that had allowed residents to dispose of as much garbage as they wanted have gone to tags and limits.

“There’s already been a high amount of movement on that.”

The county has not updated its waste bylaws since 1996 and Westaway says doing that to make sure “they’re in line with the master plan” is the “first piece of the puzzle.”

be treated.”

It’s “simple and powerful,” she said.

“They’re using art to send a message,” principal Sarah

Letter to the editor

Waging war with love

Dear Editor, Re: Gwynne Dyer November 22- Gaza: Another Pre-Election War? Gwynne Dyer’s editorial brings some insights into political decision making. I tend to agree with Mr. Dyer that Israeli PM Netanyahu had no need politically to start a pre-election war with Hamas.

Hamas’ political motives for starting a war at any time differs from Israel.

Israelis are the first people in history to grant the Palestinians their own viable, geographically coherent, potentially sovereign state. Instead of building the state, Hamas prefers to use the Gaza strip as a lawless platform for Jewkilling. Regardless what happens when the Israelis fight back, these deluded anti-Semites always declare victory.

When Israelis die that is called a “military victory.”

When Palestinian civilians die, that is called a “propaganda victory.” When Hamas fighters die, that is expression of martyrdom, and is called

a “spiritual victory.” Given this mental model, it makes political sense at any time for Hamas to start a war with Israel.

Hamas started this war when on November 10, they attacked an Israeli mobile patrol inside Israeli territory.

This was a conflict of Hamas’ own choosing. The fact that the damage to their civilians was much less than in 2008, reflected Israelis’ decision making, not Hamas’ capabilities. While there are few international rules of war, proportionality of response is not one.

Israel PM Netanyahu scored some international political points by protecting Palestinian civilians and waging war with love, as opposed to Hamas, who wage war with hate.

In a typical war, one often attempts to starve the enemy into defeat, or targets and terrorizes civilians. Some examples include: World War II - Allies attempted to starve Japan before it launched nuclear bombs for a quicker end. The Germans attempt to starve Russians in Stalingrad.

World War II - Allies fire bombed Dresden and killed massive numbers of civilians Syrian civil war - just recently the Syrian government bombed the Aleppo hospital.

In the Gaza war at the same time as rockets are in the air flying to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel does the following: Israel shipped about 100

trucks daily of food and medical supplies to Gaza. The market price of bananas did not increase as there was no shortage.

On a single day during the war Israel evacuated 26 critically ill Gazans for treatment in Israeli medical facilities, a routine occurrence.

Much of Gaza’s purified water is provided by Israel.

Gaza receives more than 100 megawatts of electrical power from Israel, even though the town the source power plant is located in is targeted by Hamas rocket fire.

Israel took over Hamas radio as well as dropped leaflets telling civilians to leave an area containing underground missiles before they were destroyed. They even provided the safest route to take to a safe area.

Any other country in the world would have stopped humanitarian aid until the rockets stopped.

Netanyahu has shown the world how Israelis can WAGE WAR WITH LOVE despite Hamas waging war with HATE. Going forward, Hamas has no strategy except the obliteration of Israel. Israel has no long-term strategy to deal with Hamas’ belligerence.

Egypt is the wild card with the potential to support a period of calm. I note the best thing about banging one’s head against the wall, is how good it feels when you stop. I hope and pray this ceasefire lasts a long time for both sides.

Bullying victim spreads words of hope, wisdom

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Hastings After a youthful life filled with bullying, teasing and taunting, Jennafer Cassidy has emerged as a powerful counterweight and champion of tolerance and respect.

“As long as we’ve touched one student we know we’ve done our job,” Cassidy, a 14year member of the Canadian Half-Pint basketball team told the Northwest EMC. During a visit to Hastings Public School the Sault Ste. Marie native and two of her teammates mixed sports fun with honest talk in their “Bullying’s Not Kool” presentation.

“Personally, from what I went through getting bullied and teased it is an opportunity to talk about my experiences.

The reaction from kids is just wonderful,” she said.

Cassidy and her teammates are dwarves and she readily concedes that growing up in a comparatively small northern town like the Sault was not always easy.

“Overall it could be very close-minded to people who are different,” she said.

“It’s a really good message to get out there, to educate people that there is no difference.”

Now living in Toronto,

Cassidy still enjoys her trip back to her hometown especially when she gets a chance to speak out against bullying.

“I love going back. The opportunity to spread the word where I’m from is very important [and] hopefully to get the kids there to understand the things I went through.”

That, she adds, is “a great thing.”

And basketball also reminds students that you don’t need to be six feet tall to have fun on the court or field or ice.

“Anybody can play sports [and should be allowed too],” she stressed. “It doesn’t mat-

ter what your differences are, you can do anything if you put your mind and heart to it.”

“I’ve been doing this for 14 years and I feel that our message is very strong and powerful [and] you can never hear it enough.”

“It’s a time to reflect on the issues around bullying and how important it is in our school to keep our environment a positive place to be,”

HPS principal Sarah Rogers added.

“The biggest thing here is to keep the children thinking about our building and the broader issues everywhere,” says Rogers.

“It’s part of being a good citizen and that’s the whole point behind it and the way we’ve chosen to do it.”

Hastings Public School joined others across the school board in dedicating the week

to anti-bullying activities, from “peace in our school” to “optimism and hope for the future.” The Bullying is Not Kool presentation was part of the “acceptance and tolerance of differences” day.

“We chose a theme each day to show what anti-bullying is in a broader scope and I think that’s important for kids to see,” said Rogers. “Not only what bullying is but what you can do to show that you’re not bullying.”

“It’s harder for the little guys to understand but they understand what love is and what accepting is.”

Northwest EMC - Thursday, November 29, 2012

EMC Events - Havelock There was plenty of colour and dazzle in Havelock and Cordova during their big Santa Claus Parades but there is an equal amount of creativity on display in local storefronts which were vying for the first-ever holiday decorating prize sponsored by the Township Revitalization Improvement Program (TRIP) committee.

Topping the list with their festive flare was Perfection Plus followed by Cluttered Treasures and Community Care. The winners received $150, $75 and $50 respectively.

“TRIP was very pleased with the response for a first year of competition,” says program co-ordinator and township Economic Development Officer Brian Grattan.

“The judges found it very hard to pick three winners because all the storefronts looked so good,” Grattan said.

The committee hopes to make the competition an annual event.

“We may look at ways to expand it so that residents of the township can participate,” Grattan added.

The evening parade was also a big hit with participants and spectators enjoying a night that offered just a hint of winter.

Taking first prize in the float category was Number 7 Auto followed by the Havelock and District Snowmobile Club entry and Allan Stillwell.

In Cordova, the top three walking entries in their parade were Brandon Hall and Ed Van Allen; the “North and South” of Cordova and Shane Lowe’s Smurfs; in the children’s float category first place went to Nick Haines, second to Candace Vilneff and third to Amy Dafoe; in the adult float category first prize went to Allan Stillwell, second prize to Number 7 Auto and third prize to the Cordova Mines Free Methodist Church.

Angels of Care campaign kicks off with some surprises

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - â&#x20AC;&#x153;They truly work miracles every day of their life,â&#x20AC;? says Bruce Thompson, talking about the staff at Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) at the official kickoff to the sixth annual Angels of Care campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is near and dear to my heart, being a police officer for 30 years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen many miracles in this hospital and they truly are angels here,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Thompson became a member of the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation just a few months ago and has become a passionate supporter actively involved with fund raising.

Attending the kick-off press conference hosted by the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new executive director John Russell, it was announced that Thompson and his wife Elizabeth have donated $5,000 to get things started.

On the job for only a few weeks himself Russell explained that the goal this year is to raise $80,000 which will

be used to invest in four colonscopies and two gastrocopes for the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surgical program More than 700 colonscopies and 300 gastroscopic procedures are performed annually at the hospital.

Letters are being mailed to more than 7,000 foundation supporters and patients explaining why the scopes are vital as the Angels of Care campaign gets under way.

Russell was joined at the press conference by Chief of Staff Dr. Celeste Collins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This campaign has become an annual community tradition and we rely on the community. Dr. Collins has taken on the lead role for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign,â&#x20AC;? said Russell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to know her Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ve learned of her passion for CMH and for quality care close to home.

Her enthusiasm is infectious and she sets a wonderful example for all of us to follow.â&#x20AC;?

For Dr. Collins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the equipment is vital.â&#x20AC;?

Colonoscopies make up a majority of the procedures

performed at the hospital on a daily basis.

She said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes a huge difference â&#x20AC;Ś many of our patients are elderly and cannot travel.â&#x20AC;?

Collins explained that there are close to 50 staff at the Trent Hills medical centre and she anticipates â&#x20AC;&#x153;a significant giftâ&#x20AC;? will be coming to support the campaign from the clinic.

She talked about what it means to the doctors, nurses and staff to be called angels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels really good because the goal is to provide comfort and care to people when they are sick,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially for the nurses â&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really encouraging to be seen that way because they have an incredibly tough job.

I think they do a fantastic job.

And all the physicians,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Russell talked about new activities with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added a couple of twists.â&#x20AC;?

The first is a special Angels of Care ceremony to be held Wednesday, December 12,

Announcing the official kickoff to the 6th annual Angels of Care campaign are: from left, John Russell, new executive director of the CMH Foundation; Chief of Staff Dr. Celeste Collins; Foundation board member Dianne Mechetuk; Foundation member Bruce Thompson (donated $5,000 to get the campaign under way).

at the hospital. Starting at 7 p.m. there will be a number of family focused activities including seasonal musical entertainment and refreshments. The highlight will be lighting of the new Angels of Care tree.

New this year is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holiday Cheer for the Hospitalâ&#x20AC;? program.

The Foundation is encour-

aging people to host an event, in their home, workplace, church group or social club and invite guests to make a donation.

It could be a tea party with treats, social gathering in the evening or a coffee break at work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simply invite a few friends, serve up some treats and encourage guests to support the Foundation. Just let

the Foundation know you are hosting a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Holiday Cheer Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so you can get your registration package and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Get-Startedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goodie basket,â&#x20AC;? said Russell.

Those interested in learning more can call or visit the Foundation office or go to <www.givetocmh.ca/>.

The campaign will continue into January 2013.

Kudos to window display artists

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Norwood Doreen Clarkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s window display artistry has been recognized by the AsphodelNorwood Historical Society.

Clarke, the window magician at Community Care Norwood, was one of the principals responsible for the Remembrance Day disDoreen Clarke (left) and Kelly Small (right) of Community Care Norwood were presented with the Asphodel-Norwood Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remembrance Day window display championship plaque by society president Judy Chaplin last week.

play that received top honours in the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual window competition. Clarke and program support worker Kelly Small were presented with the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plaque last week by historical society president Judy Chaplin.

The display included medals, letters and other artefacts courtesy of Smallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather Andre Cumming and local resident John Bennett.

Community Care volunteer Fern DeBaermaeker was also involved in the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The window lady did a master design,â&#x20AC;? said Small.

It is the first time that Community Care has won top place in a competition that has been running since 1999. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a lovely big window,â&#x20AC;? said Chaplin who thought the arrangement of â&#x20AC;&#x153;authentic pieces and artefactsâ&#x20AC;? was striking.

Seven local businesses participated in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice that local businesses take part. The historical society appreciates it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like some of the projects that the beautification committee is doing.â&#x20AC;?

Northwest EMC - Thursday, November 29, 2012

“When I see a box I see a child standing there” EMC News - Norwood Ilona Bennett has been involved in Operation Christmas Child campaigns for 14 years and she is no less moved today than she was when she first started packing and collecting shoeboxes filled with gifts for some of the neediest children on the planet.

“When I see a box I see a child standing there,” Bennett, who leads efforts locally in Havelock-Norwood and district and is part of the distribution team in Peterborough, told the Northwest EMC while she and Jane Lester made final preparations for delivery from the Norwood Pentecostal Church drop-off to Peterborough and onward to Kitchener.

Bennett has volunteered at the massive warehouse in Kitchener.

“It’s huge; your jaw drops.

It’s really very emotional,” she said. “My hands are the last ones on the box and that’s what hits you hard because you’re sealing it and the next hand that’s getting into it are children’s.

“If someone does one box or 100 boxes I see 100 children; I don’t see the box I see the kids. I see lives touched

and changed at an important time of year.”

“This year seems to be stronger and that’s a positive thing,” Bennett notes. “A lot of organizations, churches, schools are still carrying on with it. They seem to be doing more boxes than last year.”

At Havelock Belmont Public School students in Brenda Leeming’s Grade 8 class led the school-wide drive collecting 35 surpassing last year’s 28; at Norwood District Public School Jeanie Hill’s Grade 2 students helped send off 51 boxes.

In total, they collected over 650 boxes, 200 more than in 2011.

“I’m more involved in it this year than last year because I’m part of the Peterborough distribution,” Bennett said. “And most people understand about the program and that’s the good thing about it.”

“I try to get boxes to the two Foodlands for kids who may still want to do boxes but they’re not available at certain schools.”

Bennett is grateful to Lester for assistance but would like to get more people involved at a committee level so they can reach more potential

participants.

“It’s awesome for kids,” she says of the program.

“They not only learn about giving but about other children and what they have and don’t have and also about the geography of where these kids live. It’s a huge learning opportunity. It’s an educational thing, they learn how to share and give, they learn about money concepts and shopping and things like that.”

“It just makes me more anxious to get more people doing it. It’s just a small team of us. ” “It would be nice to get a really strong team,” Lester added.

“I really want to do something big next year,” says Bennett, referring to 2008 and the partnership with CFB Trenton which sent a SAR Tech rescue helicopter and team to pick up boxes.”

Since 1993, Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse has distributed 94 million shoeboxes worldwide. Last year, Canadians collected 692,274 boxes; this year Canadian shoeboxes will he sent to 13 countries including Haiti, Ivory Coast, Guatemala and Sierra Leone.

Grade 8 students in Brenda Leeming’s class at Havelock Belmont Public School were in the forefront of the Operation Christmas Child shoebox campaign this year going from class to class and collecting 35 boxes filled with gifts for needy girls and boys in at least 13 different countries.

EMC News - Campbellford - The perception that 4-H is only for agriculturerelated activities is changing.

Making yourself into a human pretzel with bends and twists or posing as a mountain or tree are not the traditional activities of a 4-H club … but that’s exactly what the youngsters in the 4-H Yoga Club here are doing.

“The thing about yoga is it is somewhat popular right now and the kids were wondering if we could do a club about it,” commented one of the 4-H leaders, Lori Godden.

Yoga, it seems, is not just about the practice of this ancient art it is also about the clothing that is worn so the movements can be made unencumbered.

The yoga routine is based

on the ritual of exercises done

by Tibetan lamas which helps them to live long healthy lives,” explained Jennifer Jeffs, also a 4-H leader.

“The lululemon clothing has become a fashion trend at Canadian yoga clothing retailers,” said Godden with a grin.

“So the kids are wearing the clothing for all kinds of athletics.”

The 4-H Yoga club that resulted from the interest expressed by Campbellford and area youth within the Northumberland 4-H organization is one of those activities that is dispelling the myth that the clubs are only for farm kids.

Laurie McNally and Kathy Herrold were the yoga instructors brought in for the six weeks the club met.

Brianna Shelley, 13, another 4-H Yoga Club member said, “I really liked the Yoga Club. My favorite poses were the wind, relieving poses and the tree. We had fun.”

For the 15 to 20 youngsters, having the ability to select an activity they enjoy

was important in the success of this 4-H club.

“Two of the youths, Abby Godden and Elaine Jeffs, were very keen on yoga and so we said why not try this,” explained Godden.

A 4-H leader for three years, Godden told EMC that this particular club “rated very high” with the kids.”

“They found it very exciting and in fact it’s one of the greatest clubs we’ve done for a while.”

With 4-H in more than 80 countries throughout the world and a tradition that is soon to be a century old their motto “Learn to do by Doing” has held steadfast through the ages.

For Jeffs, who has been in 4-H for 22 years, the benefits of 4-H are endless.

“Employers - if they see 4-H on a young person’s resume they put them at the top of the list because 4-H is known to build leaders. We learn about parliamentary procedure, time management, public speaking and more,” she said.

“I think 4-H has so much

to offer. It builds the kids’ self-confidence and they make new friends.”

Over the years it’s got away from being just about agriculture and broadened out into almost a club for anything you want from life skills, to photography, woodworking, cooking clubs, and some even have a 4-wheeler club.

For Jeffs 4-H is about “going anywhere your imagination takes you.”

Both leaders Godden and Jeffs are already planning the winter 4-H club.

“It will possibly be about etiquette, everything from how to make a proper introduction to which fork to use when you end up at a dinner party,” said Godden.

“We’re not just teaching these kids, they are learning by doing.”

There is always a need for more leaders and club sponsors.

Trent Hills welcomes new deputy-mayor

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Trent Hills Without a lot of fanfare nominations were called and a vote taken resulting in the role of Trent Hills deputymayor changing hands for

the second half of the municipal term.

“I really enjoyed the last couple of years as deputymayor. It’s time to pass the deputy-mayorship on,” said Rosemary Kelleher-MacLen-

nan at a recent meeting of Trent Hills Council in which Councillor Bob Crate became the new deputy-mayor.

What does a deputy-mayor do in Trent Hills?

“Helps the mayor when he is tied up with other engagements, represents the mayor on different occasions such as anniversaries, birthdays, openings of businesses and so on, and is the alternate for emergency measures … when the mayor is away the deputy-mayor steps in,” explained KelleherMacLennan.

“She told me how much she enjoyed it and felt the position should move around the wards,” said Councillor Bob Crate, who had defeated two other candidates in the last municipal election to take his place on council for the first time. But he didn’t come empty handed.

He brought with him expertise from active community involvement, 40 years with the Hastings Legion, a two-year term as zone commander (he conducted complaint hearings and handled mediation) and he is currently the president of Branch 106.

He was also a member of the Rotary Club of Campbellford for 20 years, played hockey for two decades for the Warkworth Travellers Hockey Team.

“I think as a council we have done well and get along well as we try to problem solve,” he told EMC later.

He brings a wish list to his new position.

“One of my main priorities is to make Trent Hills work … I have connections with all parts of Trent Hills and bring credibility to the table because I have been a

Hastings boy all my life.

“I really think we are on the right path as far as looking at things and rationalizing what Trent Hills needs and I think Hastings has been fairly well served by council.”

For Crate the importance of everyone working together is at the top of his list.

“I wasn’t sure when I got here how everybody would get along and how we could work as a team but I’ve been more than happy with the results,” he said, adding he has a lot of respect for Trent Hills Mayor Hector MacMillan.

Crate believes his strength is, “talking to people to try

to get a bit of wiggle room when negotiating things.”

With council facing issues such as replacement of the Trent River Bridge in Campbellford and plans for a multi-million dollar recreation and wellness centre, he and council have their work cut out for them.

“What people should realize is we have a very competent group that looks after the municipality on a dayto-day basis, and I mean the staff … they know their job and what is necessary. I have these people to rely on.”

Crate takes over the role of deputy-mayor on December 1.

Being good “digital citizens” part of equation EMC News - Havelock In a world made complex by the tangled web of technology, practising good “digital citizenship” is as important as the way we treat each other face-to-face, says Stanley Baker, restorative justice co-ordinator at the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board.

“The police will tell you that 80 to 90 per cent of what they deal with in high school has some sort of technology related to it,” Baker told the Northwest EMC during an interview in Havelock where he participated in bullying prevention assemblies with students and a smaller group session with teachers.

“It’s not just enough to address the harm; you have to work at preventing and promoting positive relationships,” he said.

And in terms of technology, Baker says, that means exploring the “whole area of

digital citizenship.”

“What kind of people do we want to be when we’re out on the Internet? How do we want to interact with each other?”

Understanding the impact language can have, especially when it’s delivered unfiltered and with the quick hit of the send button is a daily challenge for youth and adults, says Baker.

“We’ve got a long way to go because it’s a largely unsupervised type of environment.

Kids can get on there without a lot of adult supervision.”

It’s important to have “these reminders periodically,” Baker said of the school board-wide bullying prevention week.

“A week like this won’t change the world [but] it might change some individual actions at school, in the yard and in the classroom.

Every day needs to be a bullying prevention day.”

What it really does, says Baker is “reinforce that

Dental Veneers – Are they right for you?

Dental veneers are an exciting dental treatment alternative recommended for teeth that are cracked, chipped, worn, or slightly crooked, and can be used to close unsightly gaps.

EMC News - Peterborough County - Children who benefit from school breakfast programs in Norwood and Havelock and others like it around the city and county received a huge veggie boost last week with the first organized delivery of 560 pounds of locally grown carrots to the Food For Kids Peterborough and County program.

Each day, children in 45 schools across the county and city participate in the Food For Kids breakfast program.

School breakfast programs include fruit and

vegetables on the menu every day.

The carrots were grown at Kennedy Farms near Omemee and were paid for with a grant from the Ontario Greenbelt Fund.

Food For Kids Peterborough and County is a regional partner of the Ontario Farm to School Challenge and was eligible for the funding.

“Food For Kids is excited to have locally grown food offered in our Breakfast Programs as part of the Ontario Farm to School Challenge,” said Chris McCarthy, community co-ordinator for the program.

McCarthy says Food For Kids Peterborough and County is one of five regional partners on the “ground floor of the Farm to School Challenge.”

“The Challenge will increase the use of local food in schools and helps schools and school boards develop the skills, knowledge and relationship to continue to increase purchase of local food in the long term,” he says.

Kennedy Farms is a regular contributor to the YWCA of Peterborough, Victoria and Haliburton JustFood program. The JustFood program will de-

Veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain laminates that cover and transform the front portion and most visible area of your tooth. A single veneer or a set of them is custom made to the exact specification of your smile.

Along with holding a perfect size and shape, veneers are also made to exactly match the color of your teeth.

Within the span of a few days, you can have an entirely new smile and an entirely new look, thanks to this simple procedure.

People can choose to react in ways that escalate conflicts or they can “choose to say something that de-escalates the situation,” Baker said.

“The way we talk to students can help them feel that we’re actually listening as opposed to asking them questions that make them feel blamed. The kinds of questions we ask make a huge difference. Ultimately it comes down to the relationship you have with your children. If things get in the way of these relationships we’ve got to fix that.”

in a special way.”

It reminds students that being a good citizen should be a natural part of the way you relate to the world.

Baker’s message to students focuses on “getting away from the blame game and taking responsibility for our words and actions and when things go wrong working at asking good questions [like] what happened, who was affected by this and what do we need to do to make it right?”

These are “key questions we have to ask ourselves and have others ask us when things go wrong,” he said.

“I think it’s a process.

I really think it is a matter of learning these types of skills [and] as adults we have to learn these skills as well. We didn’t get here because kids naturally be-

liver the carrots directly to schools.

Schools will also receive classroom resources to promote local foods and make curriculum connections.

“Partnering with Food For Kids Peterborough and County is positive for students and local agriculture,” Jason and Gary Kennedy of Kennedy Farms said.

“Knowing that we’re supporting healthy eating in Peterborough schools is a great feeling and encourages us to keep farming.”

“Peterborough has a vibrant agriculture community so it only makes sense to work with local farmers to provide the very best of local foods to our children,” added Brenda Dales, chair of Food For Kids Peterborough and County.

Ontariofresh.ca has challenged schools across the province to purchase more Ontario grown and produced foods for use in cafeterias, nutrition programs, culinary arts and hospitality programs, family studies and special events.

The Ontario Farm to School Challenge is supported by the Border Public Investment Fund through the Ontario Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation and coordinated by Sustain Ontario, FoodShare Toronto and five provincial partner organizations including Food For Kids Peterborough and County The program’s “primary goal is to increase student access to and preference for fresh, nutritious and local Ontario food.”

Food For Kids Peterborough and County started in 1992 at two Peterborough schools and has grown ever since.

Last year, the program served over 1.5 million breakfasts and snacks to at least 8,700 kids in 45 breakfast clubs, 33 in elementary schools and 12 in high schools.

Through sponsorships, donations and discounts to the program it costs an average of 25 cents per student breakfast, organizers say.

Take a “Christmas journey” at Sidney Baptist Church

By Terry Bush

EMC Entertainment - Reserve December 8 or 9 on your calendar to experience an evening devoted to the true meaning of Christmas.

Sidney Baptist Church, located between Stirling and Foxboro, will once again host a “Journey to Bethlehem” on their property on Baptist Church Road, 2.5 kilometres north of Highway 14, west of Highway 62.

The spectacle, held every other year, is a re-enactment of the events leading up to the first Christmas. Visitors will be taken on a 30-minute guided tour through the church’s wooded property to visit 20 different stations, each with a story to tell.

Over 100 volunteers are involved in the project, both behind the scenes and in costume taking on the roles of all the well-known characters involved in the first Christmas. This wasn’t something Sidney Baptist could attempt by itself, according to Pastor Scott Chatterson.

“There are 11 churches involved this year to varying degrees. Each church either has taken on a station to man or will assist in other volunteer capacities [like parking, working in the hospitality tent, helping with crowd control in church, etc.]

The churches are located as far away as Havelock,

Campbellford, Belleville, and Stirling. This year we have Campbellford Baptist, Havelock United, Sidney Baptist, Community Pentecostal, Grace Bible Chapel, Stirling Presbyterian, St. James Catholic, Victoria Avenue Baptist, Westminster United, Parkdale Baptist and Alliance Church,” said Pastor Scott.

“The Journey creates amazing opportunities for partnerships with other churches; creating a very blended environment and building a strong community together.

We look forward to partnering with other churches in the future as this ministry grows.”

Along the way, visitors will meet shepherds, lepers, live animals, Roman guards and of course make a stop at the inn where it all began. The journey doesn’t stop at the stable but continues on beyond the cross and the tomb.

In 2010, the congregation greeted approximately 800 visitors and the hope this year is 2,000 people will find their way to Sidney Baptist Church. A first this year will be guided tours led by American Sign Language interpreters as the Journey tries to be even more inclusive.

The Journey to Bethlehem will be open between 5:30 and 9 p.m. on December 8 and 9 with free admission. Offerings will be gladly accepted.

Sabourin comes from a mushing family; his father and his brother were mushers, and this is how he found a passion for the sport. In 1964 he set out on his first dog sled, and for the last 48 years he hasn’t looked back.

Of those 48 years, 35 have been spent with an annual weekend visit along picturesque Highway 7 to Marmora and Lake. This year, Sabourin and numerous other mushers will be arriving in Marmora to celebrate the 35th anniversary of SnoFest weekend. Now he is cap-

A little bit of heaven for train enthusiasts

By Michael J Brethour

EMC Lifestyles - Belleville - Choo! Choo!

That’s the sound train lovers have been keenly straining their ears to hear for majority of the year; this weekend railroad enthusiasts will not have to wait any longer.

The event, which draws young and old like moths to a flame, is held once again at Quinte Secondary School on College Street West in Belleville on December 1 and 2, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

Right on schedule in time for Christmas the 17th annual show will offer wares for the budding model railroader and veteran alike.

Rick Potter, secretary of the Belleville Model Rail-

roading Club and chair of the club show, said this year’s show features at least 29 model train exhibitors, up from last year by about five entries.

He said the slight increase from last year can be attributed to the word of mouth of the Belleville show being worthwhile.

Potter said the timing of the show just before Christmas is no mistake.

“It really is the perfect spot to get the model train enthusiast in your family a thoughtful Christmas gift or to start someone off who has expressed an interest in model trains,” he said. “Everything they need to build a complete model railroad set will be on hand, or even if they just need a specific piece

the show will have it all.”

Those attending the show have their choice of train memorabilia, photos, postcards, pieces of actual trains and of course building materials from the 30 plus vendors that will be on hand.

“Either new or used, from G scale all the way down to Z scale, rolling stock engine, videos knickknacks, Tshirts, everything a model rail enthusiast would want or need. All kinds of starter kits for those interested in feeding possible interests of a loved one for Christmas,” he said.

It depends on the person how much they want to spend on the hobby, but it doesn’t have to be an arm and a leg.

“In some cases its $50 to $100 for low-end kit; on the high end you’re looking for $300 to $400 for an engine, you’ll look at close to $1,000 just to get going on the high end,” he said.

Potter said vendors and layout display operators come from basically all over southern Ontario, mainly because the show is generally recognized as the largest of its kind.

“People will be amazed at the detail of some of the layouts and the work that has gone into it by some of the members, to realistically portray a scene or a real situation, right down to dogs barking, pigeons or icicles hanging from the roof,” said Potter The size of the show re-

mains roughly the same he explained, basically filling the cafeteria, atrium and gymnasium of Quinte Secondary School year after year.

“We still have some room to grow; we’re not pot bound as of yet, but we’re pretty close,” he noted.

Admission to the show is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors/students, $2 for children and a family rate of $10. “It’s good value for the money and the public comes out to visit us, which is really encouraging for the hobby,” he said.

ous day’s shakedown runs were made to acquaint the drivers with the routes to be driven. Tire choices were in all cases a compromise, as no tire could handle both extremes equally.

One unfortunate entrant, the fan-favourite team of Leonid (Crazy Leo) Ulrichich and co-driver Carl Williamson, was unable to make the Saturday morning start. In a note posted on the bulletin board late Friday afternoon, Ulrichich said: “We have one goal in rallying, and that is to go as fast as possible. Therefore, it is with great disappointment I have made the difficult decision to withdraw from the event.” He cited the lack of time available for rebuilding and testing his car after a rollover crash at the previous rally.

For Richard/Ockwell, success did not come easily, as they too encountered a flat tire in the final stage. They chose to drive on, damaging the braking system, which resulted in a brake fire. Vic-

tory was sweet, though, as they had been beset by mechanical problems throughout the season. Meanwhile, the L’Estage/Richard team chose to stop and change their flat tire, which resulted in sufficient loss of time to drop them into second place.

They retained their lead in the overall points standing to win the Canadian Rally Championship, having won four of the six rallies, and finishing second in the other two.

The heavy attrition rate brought the team of Ugo Desgreniers and Erik Kirby into third place for the Open Class cars, with Ryan Huber and John Vanos fourth.

In the production GT class, Alexandre and Nicholas Ouellette finished first, and fifth overall. For the two wheel drive cars, Martin Walter and Ferdinand Trauttsmandorff placed first, and eleventh overall, while Eric Grochowski and Leanne Junnila followed and claimed the national class championship.

Mayor calls ATV meeting “positive”

Re:

EMC Sports - The Rally of the Tall Pines at Bancroft is the last event on the 2012 rally calendar, and was the scene of many surprises this year. Overall Canadian Rally Championship points leaders Antoine L’Estage and co-driver Nathalie Richard were leading the rally going into the final stage until a flat tire delayed their progress. As a result, the team of Patrick Richard and Alan Ockwell capitalized on their competitors’ misfortune and claimed the victory.

Fifty-five entrants started the day, and there were 26 retirements. This list included four who rolled their cars, six listed as “off road,” and the remainder dropped out with various engine, electrical, and mechanical woes. Unforgiving surprises greeted competitors at every turn, as road conditions varied all the way from loose gravel to hard-packed icy sections. Snow had fallen overnight, after the previ-

mine what direction they’ll take with it in 2013. Mayor Gerow spoke at the town hall meeting in Norwood about Havelock-BelmontMethuen’s own ATV bylaw which has been in place for two years.

“It’s been very successful with no incidents where council has had to step in and reintroduce the bylaw or call into question any part of the bylaw,” he said.

One of the reasons things have gone so well, Gerow said, was the “close relationship forged with the local ATV club.”

One thing council was “adamant about,” he said, was once the bylaw was in place the Havelock and District ATV Club would have to “police it, maintain it and look after it.

“They’ve done a good job of that. They’ve been very effective in the way it’s been dealt with.”

The club has “played a role in monitoring use of ATV’s on township roads and county roads the last six months,” Gerow said.

“There have been no incidents in any manner dealing with ATVs.” The county’s ATV bylaw allows short sections of the

gravelled shoulders of designated county roads to be used to connect with local multiuse trails. HavelockBelmont-Methuen is the only municipality in the county that has struck an agreement with the county to allow certain sections to be used.

“To the best of my knowledge it has worked out well,” Gerow said adding that he foresees a need to expand on some of the provisions of the county’s bylaw to allow for more connections to trails, especially in HBM. “There may be a need to revisit this and look at some small additions to help the club be able to further [access] some of the trails,” he said.

“One of the most important factors [is] these pieces of [county roads] are links to other trails that are offroad. The ATV club is working diligently toward developing some of the trails in the area; the majority of the kilometres of those trails are off the road.

“I see these road pieces as links. I think that’s very important.”

“Basically it’s been a good experience for us [but] we’re always open to public comment, ” Gerow added.

The Homeowners: Marlene & Butch Benoit, Mary Louise Belanger and Michael Thompson, Trevor & Shaylin Cooney, Lacy & Tyla Tessier, and Amber & Steven Sine.

The Volunteers: all who willingly give their time and talents continually in support of Farmtown Park. You truly are priceless, and have made Farmtown Park a place the entire region can be proud of.

It has been used as political statement and it has been used as nothing more than an extravagance for the posh drawing room. For the most part, retail purposes ignored, today’s Christmas tree has come to represent family togetherness, and a communal expression of hope and good will. In many Christian homes, the symbolism of the tree itself has little to do with religious expression; you will find nativities and crèches and other representatives of faith situated in places of honour.

Let’s just say, that for whatever the reason a family uses to bring a tree into the

home, today’s tree represents goodness and that is enough.

Folks are already bringing in the green, especially the Christmas tree, into their homes to add festive cheer and decoration. For me, it is a titch early as I grew up with the tradition of the tree coming into the house shortly before Christmas and then exiting on New Year’s Day. Not only that, the tree was usually a white spruce, prickly and stinky. Stinky in the sense of smelling like cat pee and prickly in the sense of the needles always being able to find the most tender part of my face as I rummaged, secretly, through the presents. (The “stinky” bit is not connected with my copyrighted phrase “The air is redolent with the stench of rotting tree carcasses.”

nary life. My girls and their friends are obsessing over their futures: What should I take in school? What business can I start? What do I want to do with the rest of my life? And the message they get, over and over, is aim for success!

What if that’s the wrong message? Too many people are aiming for the virtually impossible. They want to have a high paying job where they love their work but have short hours. They want to be famous. They want things easy.

Life, however, rarely works like that. Most who do eventually earn great success do so only after putting in their time in the trenches.

But let’s not forget that the time in the trenches is not just a means to an end; like Montgomery Gentry sings, it’s something to be proud of, even if you never rise that far above it.

What’s wrong with earning an honest living? What’s wrong with working hard, putting in an effort, and slowly but surely building up a small nest egg? You may not take a cruise every year, or have a collection of shoes, or buy each new iPhone that comes out, but it can still be a very rewarding life. Everything you have you worked for. Maybe, instead of telling kids to aim for a life of massive success and leisure, we should be espousing the vir-

tues of aiming lower.

We talk down honest work too much. We tell girls who want to be nurses’ aides to be doctors instead. We tell boys who just want to work with their hands that they need a university degree. We tell kids that they should aim for a life where they’ll be rich and don’t have to get dirty. No wonder so many people think simple work is beneath them!

You may begin at minimum wage, but work hard and you’ll work your way up. You’ll be able to save for a small house, put food on the table and buy a few luxuries. Aiming lower may not be glamorous, but it’s still something to be proud of.

The Brookings Institute

A green Christmas Stinky actually does mean it doesn’t smell good, at least to me. I would say the most pleasantly fragrant tree is the balsam fir, and it doesn’t matter if it’s from Nova Scotia or Ontario.)

The bottom line of a cut Christmas tree is the bottom or lack thereof. The top of the tree is dead; it just doesn’t know it yet. The length of time for cellular consciousness to kick in, which is displayed by a spectacular needle drop, varies depending upon the type of tree. The tree with the strongest sense of denial is the Fraser Fir and with the recent introduction into our area, is matched by the Nordman Fir. You can bring them inside now and be confident, with proper care, they will retain their supple and moisture filled needles until the middle

of January and even longer.

Balsams can be good for up to three weeks and most spruces have their needles hang in there about two weeks or so.

Proper care includes making a fresh cut before putting the tree into the receptacle; keeping the receptacle filled with water; and, not setting it near fireplaces, woodstoves or heating vents. Some folks still use lighted candles.

These are the people who call away our friends at Station No. 1 from their Christmas activities.

There are several other considerations for selecting a tree. It has to look good which is a subjective matter at best and, as a chap who helps customers with their purchase, I can tell you that a great deal of time and invited comment is employed. It has

to have needles. This seems like a simple statement but there is a lot more to it. For sure, when you look at a tree you will see needles covering the ground just below it.

Don’t look at them; look at the needles still on the tree; those are the ones that are important. All the stems and twigs should have needles.

You might find the occasional denuded branch on an otherwise good looking tree. If so, look along the branch and see if it is broken. That would be a good thing. If not, then walk away from that tree, there are others. The needles on the tree should be flexible and the have the colour that matches.

For example a Colorado blue spruce will have blue needles and that is a good thing. If you see a white pine with blue-grey needles, that is not

TRAVEL

At the Dominion Curling Club championship

By John M. Smith

EMC Lifestyles - Last week, my wife and I decided to drive to Scarborough to take in some of the action at the Dominion Curling Club

they certainly let the rest of the crowd know!

We were, of course, there to watch the Ontario foursome “do their thing,” and on that particular day they

at St. George’s Golf & Country Club. Here they tasted defeat for the first time, but still qualified for the playoffs. In the final, the Quinte Curling Club foursome got

the mantra for Team Ontario had been, all week, “One rock at a time, one end at a time, one game at a time.” She said, “It got us to where we are, so all is good.

We’re excited to be bringing the win back to our club.”

I’ve been a member of the Quinte Curling Club for more than 25 years, and this is the first time that I’ve seen a local team participate at this level. The Dominion Curling Club Championship is a relatively new competition, and it provides grass roots curling teams from across the entire country with an opportunity to compete against other club champions. What makes this year’s event even more remarkable for our local club is that we came within a shot of having both the men’s and ladies’ provincial champions, for Dave Collyer was narrowly defeated in the men’s provincial final.

The Dominion Insurance

defeated both Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan. Right after the victory over Prince Edward Island, I joined the ladies on the ice to get a photo of them to accompany this article. I’d already decided that, win or lose, they deserved some publicity for their awesome achievement, for it’s not an “easy road” to get to this level of competition.

The “road” began at the club level, for the foursome of Caroline Deans, SherriLynn Collyer, Kendra Lafleur, and Lynne Stapley first had to win the club championship last season. Then, after that accomplishment, they were eligible to enter the regional competition of the Dominion Curling Club Championship this year, so off they went to compete in Renfrew back in October.

After placing first at the regionals, they were off to the provincial competition, held

revenge on the team that had defeated them (skipped

by Stacey McCormack), for this time they won, but it was very tension-filled and close: 5 - 4 (won by stealing the last end!). The provincial victory led them to the nationals in Scarborough, and the rest, as they say, is history!

In conversation with the team after that Thursday afternoon game, they told me that the “road” to the nationals was actually much longer than I’ve just described for they had to put in the time of getting to know one another as curlers. Caroline, Sherri-Lynn, Kendra, and Lynne did this by curling together in the club’s Wednesday Night Open League for three years and by competing in a number of bonspiels and competitions. Then they decided, last year, to compete in the Monday Night Ladies Competitive League. Ironically, they won in their first year of participation and then they went on to this year’s amazing achievements.

As I watched them on that Thursday afternoon in Scarborough, I was particularly impressed by their focus. I never saw the team members looking at the crowd, for they simply stayed on task, and obviously represented us very well. Winning was the bonus!

After the final game, Caroline Deans stated that

Company sponsors this annual event, held at curling clubs across Canada, and the company does a great job with it. The aim of this competition is “to support ordinary curlers and the development of curling across Canada” – and it’s “formulated for true club curlers.” A one-hour overview of the event will be seen on

TSN2 on December 2. Next year’s national championship will also take place in Ontario, this time at the Fort William Curling Club in Thunder Bay (November 25 to 30). Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a team from this area back there again?

Championship. After all, one of the Quinte Curling Club’s very own teams was representing Ontario in this national event, so we wanted to cheer them on. As probably everyone knows by now, our local team won the entire event—and won every game in the week-long competition.

We arrived at the Scarboro Golf & Country Club in time for the ladies’ afternoon draw on Thursday, November 22, and we mingled with a very vocal and enthusiastic group of spectators who were taking in the action and cheering for their favourites. On that particular day, I’d have given the award for “most frenzied fans” to two of the out-of-province groups in attendance: Quebec and Manitoba. These spectators seemed to enjoy whooping it up for every important curling shot that was made, and

For the love of a land The Murray Marsh Natural Habitat Area covers approximately 3,630 hectares (9,000 acres) and is classified as a provincially significant wetland.

As one of the largest and most complete tracts of undisturbed marsh and swamp forest remaining in southeastern Ontario, the area is the only major floodwater storage for the Trent River system south of Campbellford and also serves as a giant filtration system for nutrients to improve water quality in the river.

Lower Trent Conservation acquired a number of properties in the Murray Marsh, including the Puddephatt farm, during the late 1980s with financial assistance from the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Ontario Heritage Foundation, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and Wildlife Habitat Canada. Through the combined ownership of property by Lower Trent Conservation and MNR, about 50 per cent of Murray Marsh is protected.

Charlie and he was given a life lease to care for the land until his death in 2010. A memorial stone now rests at the site of his homestead on Goodfellow Road in Brighton.

Charlie moved to the area with his family in 1934 and eventually took over his father’s farm, raising beef cattle and horses until 2005, when he broke his hip at the

He became a keen observer of nature and spent time building bird nesting boxes as well as feeding deer and other animals says long-time friend Steve Flindall.

“Charlie did not have a lot but willingly shared what he had,” said Flindall. “He was a great cook and anyone who visited, and there were a lot of visitors, would be treated to pie, cake, cookies—even a meal—along with coffee.”

“He could cook a full course meal for his many friends, as good as any female,” added niece Gayle Fox, at the ceremony. “He would love me to say that.

He said it many times.”

In the early 1950s, photography became a passion.

Through his association with the Trenton Camera Club, Charlie won many Canadian Photographic Association of Canada awards.

When Fox joined the club in 1978, she saw, first hand, how Charlie “was admired and held in high regard by the rest of the members.”

“I was surprised at times just how important he was to the camera club,” she said.

Woodlot Conference lures wood workers and tree nuts

By Kate Everson

EMC Lifestyles - Quinte West - The recent Trenton Woodlot Conference was a place to learn about everything from wooden bowls to burls.

“I carve bowls from burls,” said Dave Sexsmith from Napanee. “Burls are like a tree with a wart.”

He said he also makes designs from hollow trees. He uses hard maple, butternut, cedar and ash.

“I look for weird things in the wood,” he said. “Some-

times it works out, sometimes it doesn’t.”

Dave has been coming to the Woodlot Conference for six years. He does more than sell his products.

“Each year it’s a reunion,” he said. “We all know each other. There are a lot of good speakers too.”

He says each year people buy his wood bowls and sometimes they even bring him burls. “It’s a nice event,” he said. “We’re all tree people. We all like wood. It’s a friendly crowd.”

Wade Knight, a field advisor with Trees Ontario, offered information about a planting program sponsored by the province. Anyone with at least 2.5 acres of land can sign up to get trees planted on their land. The goal is to plant 50 million trees by 2025. The program started in 2008 and works with local partners, such as Lower Trent Conservation.

“We sell small seedlings, ten to sixteen inches,” he said. “Our partners do a site inspection and make recommendations on what type of tree to plant.”

He says they mostly use conifers including white pine, white spruce, Norway spruce and white cedar.

There is some burr oak and red oak which are native to

the region to add wildlife habitat diversity. The seedlings are purchased with a 70 per cent subsidy.

“Trees help with climate change, create habitat and aid in long-term rural economy,” he said. “They also protect the watershed.”

All the trees are planted in the spring. More information can be found at <www.treesontario.ca> or contact Lower Trent Conservation for details. “We want to get the word out,” Knight said.

Laird “the Stickman” Nelson from Codrington also had a display with walking sticks. He uses poplar with a honeysuckle vine and yellow cedar on top.

“The Old Boy upstairs makes them,” Nelson says.

“I just clean ‘em up.” He says his walking sticks are 100 per cent natural. He finds them in forests and uses any species; maple, birch, willow, ash, oak or pine.

“I look for the ones with vines around them,” he explains. “I find them and cut the vine off, cut the wood

and peel the bark off. Then I let it dry for two years, sanding it four times and polyurethane it three times, sanding between the second and third coats.”

“It takes a fair bit of time,” he acknowledges. “Up to six hours.” Nelson is a retired forester with Domtar, but is also a farmer and has his own woodlot. He shows his walking sticks in some other craft shows but likes to come to the conference.

“Here everybody knows everybody,” he says with a smile.

Another display was by Doug MacKenzie of Bancroft who had canoe paddles, axe handles, rolling pins and bread boards, all handmade from cherry, ash or birdseye wood.

“I make them right from the logs,” he said. “I’ve been doing this for 35 years.”

Environmentally friendly installations for snakes and turtles

By Richard Barkosky

Preparation of the snake hibernaculum starts with careful placement of blocks and slabs below the frost line for winter hibernation. Photo: Richard Barkosky

Stripped of vegetation, the turtle nesting beach features sand and gravel as a suitable material for depositing turtle eggs. Photo: Richard Barkosky

has been creating such sites for 15 years, and played a major, hands-on role in this development.

The hibernaculum site is on a south-facing slope to ensure warmth, and between a pond and a large number of rocks where snakes enjoy sunning themselves.

In an excavation approximately 12 feet square and to a depth of six feet, that is, below the frost line, broken slabs and construction blocks were carefully placed along the bottom and up against the steep sides. This is to allow entrance, while preventing access for predators. On top of this, smaller stones and gravel were placed to seal off and protect the passageways and chambers below. Earth backfill then was piled higher than the surrounding landscape to

divert surface water and snow melt as much as possible.

Corners of the excavation incorporated four-inch plastic corrugated tubing leading directly down to the reptilian condos, the stone and concrete surrounding them allowing alternative entrance choices for the prospective hibernators.

As a final touch, additional posts and rocks partly obscure these entrances to provide shelter and protection from predators. One possible addition would be a data-logger to monitor temperature and humidity.

Wilson and Wilkins would like to thank both Lyman Holmes Excavating for donating the concrete construction rubble, and the Toronto Zoo for their involvement with this project.

EMC Lifestyles - Tweed A turtle nesting beach and a snake hibernaculum have been installed in the Otter Creek area east of Tweed.

Environmentalists John Wilson and Denice Wilkins have shared their property for many years with a variety of local wildlife, including both turtles and snakes. On learning that nearly all of the eight varieties of Ontario turtles are at risk, some severely, Wilkins’ response took the form of, “What can I do?”

Researching the situation led her to an Environment Canada publication written largely by employees of the Toronto Zoo. One of the co-authors is Julia Phillips, Turtle Conservation Specialist and Adopt-a-pond Coordinator at the Toronto Zoo, who came to the site to oversee the construction.

Preparation of the turtle nesting beach began by removing the vegetation from an open rectangular area about 40 by 20 feet not far from a pond. This location was chosen as it is part of a turtle’s natural habitat, and is relatively free from predators. With grass and roots removed, a fibre cloth was put down to minimize plant growth, and the area was then covered with alternating layers of sand and gravel, some of it mixed together, as turtles are known for favouring both materials when laying their eggs. John and Denice will be preparing protective cages for the eggs to discourage the inevitable raccoons.

Construction of the snake hibernaculum was under the direction of Bob Johnson, Curator of Reptiles and Amphibians at the Toronto Zoo for over 30 years. Johnson

All that Grey Cup hype is for real

By Jack Evans

EMC Sports - Over the past few days, it has been simply impossible for Canadians to overlook the news and hype about the 100th Grey Cup Canadian Football League game here.

You can call it a passion for Canada’s unique three-down game of football; you can call it a national party; but it is hard to play down the impact of this special annual event in Canada’s calendar. The fact that it was a 100th anniversary was significant, but it was only an add-on to an established tradition of a Canada-coming-together party.

On the football field, the conflict may be brutally bone-bruising, but for the fans, who are equally passionate about their respective teams, it is a camaraderie with colours and teams as opposite as they can get clinking glasses and sharing memories about the past season and past Grey Cup games. Some vie for how many Grey Cup events they have attended, with one man boasting he had attended almost 60.

Besides the eight teams that now comprise the league, one prominent

group of fans that has been active for several years is called the “Schooners,” still promoting a new team based on the east coast. Confirmation that the former Ottawa Roughriders franchise will be back starting in 2014 also sparked a special party for their fans. They gathered in an out-of-the-way pub Saturday night several dozen strong, wearing their black and red colours and eagerly anticipating their team’s return. Some of their sweaters read: “Undefeated since 1996,” (the last year for the former Rough Riders.) One man, asked if he was ready for 2014, said: “We’re already tailgating. I’ve got my seats.”

To show the lasting affection even some U.S. fans have for the Canadian version of football, one man and his wife stalked the party rooms wearing the colours and carrying the flag of the former Baltimore team that was part of a brief attempt to expand the CFL into the United States a few years ago.

Garish costumes at all events and around the downtown streets of Toronto abounded, including the famous Saskatch-

Horses and Calgary Stampeder fans always go together, as this photo illustrates.

ewan flame man, the Blues Brothers and more. One Argos fan at a street gathering at Dundas Square sported a blue moustache and beard.

That square was one of three major activity areas arranged for the weekend by the City of Toronto. It was a rallying point Sunday for the special Grey Cup parade. Perhaps not your floats and bands parade, it started at Varsity Stadium and picked up thousands of fans over its five-kilometre route to the Rogers Centre for the game. Fans took turns carrying the big cup itself along the route.

Starting a conversation and making new friends was as easy as talking to the nearest costumed fan of any team. Whether their own team was playing or not did not stop hundreds, if not thousands, of fans from all eight teams sharing in the fun.

Let’s not forget it was also the Christmas season.

The beautifully decorated windows in the old Eaton’s store featuring dozens of Victorian era characters and sets, many of them electro-mechanically activated, brought back fond childhood memories of trips there with my parents when I was a child.

The Rogers Centre was sold out, more than 50,000 seats, months in advance because of the special 100th event. Officials said they could have sold it out all over again had seating been available.

Pep cheers, cheerleader routines and just plain entertainment were featured at special party rooms set up by the various teams.

In the Spirit of Edmonton room in the Sheraton, the walls rattled as the 25-strong City of Winnipeg Pipe Band paraded in and put on a show.

Cheer-leading routines at an all-team demonstration Saturday showed the girls have to do a lot more than wiggle their tummies. Many routines require high athletic skills, almost circus-like. A few now include up to several young men to add some muscle to the high-inthe-air tosses and pyramids.

As for the game, the Argonauts broke Toronto’s losing streak when it comes to major sports, crushing the highly favoured Calgary Stampeders by 35 - 22. The Calgary score is actually inflated by a last seconds touchdown the Argonauts essentially gave the Stampeders as their own lead at that point was overpowering.

Next year, it’s Regina, and if you’ve never heard of the Saskatchewan slogan of “sky of blue, sea of green,” you’ll see it there for sure.

If you have a few days free in your calendar late next November, mark it down. Even if you can’t get tickets to the game, this writer can guarantee you will still have a lot of fun.

Empire is a big cheese again at the Royal Winter Fair EMC News - Campbellford - Empire Cheese and Butter Co-op has more than the festive season to celebrate.

This Canadian company that has been in business since 1876 has won first prize at the Royal Winter Fair 2012 for its marble cheddar.

Empire Cheese is no stranger to winning awards at the fair beginning with its grand champion and reserve champion wins back in 2008.

Since then the cheese factory has been to the fair every year and always brought home several awards each time.

In 2009 the company won four awards including first place for their extra mild cheddar.

In 2010 it took second- and third-place wins for their cheddar varieties then last year it was a first again for the marble cheddar (among other third-, fourth- and fifth-place wins). This year the co-op also won third for its extra old white and third for its medium white.

For cheesemaker Mark Erwin the wins are another testament to the quality of the product.

“It’s stiff competition at

the fair because you have your Parmalats and other big plants, many from Quebec and PEI,” he explained.

There were 12 other companies competing against them at the fair.

“The bigger companies have many cheeses in their grading program to choose from. We have a limited amount to choose from,” commented cheesemaker Erwin.

Even with those odds the company made a conscious decision to compete against larger companies.

“The Royal used to have a small plant category but we said no, we’ll compete with the big guys,” said Erwin.

“It’s a benchmark, competing against them. We like to go to the show because it tells you where you are at in the industry,” he added.

Besides it’s fun to meet the other cheesemakers he said, even though he admits they don’t swap secrets about their products.

The success of Empire Cheese, he told EMC, is based on “a good selection of culture and we always use clean fresh milk, local milk.”

It’s all about quality con-

trol and “doing everything at the right time. We stick to the quality and consistency to win.”

From start to finish it takes five hours to make their cheese.

“And don’t forget the natural aging process,” he said.

Naturally aged cheese takes one year to create old cheese.

Erwin is trained in dairy science and took a cheese making course at Kemptville College.

His work as a cheesemaker started out as a summer job and has progressed to a fulltime career.

He enjoys working at Empire Cheese and Butter Co-op with its 135-year tradition.

The equipment is “vintage.”

“It is an artisan way of making cheese,” he said.

“This equipment is the same as it was in the 1950s.

We do it purposely to have a certain type of cheese,” he admits with pride.

“The heritage of the company is retained.“ Originally there were 20 farmers who owned and ran the co-op.

Today there are nine and they are all local farmers.

Members have to be milking farmers.

Their cheese is sold at their outlet south of Campbellford and in local grocery stores.

“We do ship right across Canada with a lot going to

Alberta and B.C., especially at Christmas time,” said Vicki McMillan, sales rep.

She spent four days at the Royal too promoting the company.

“We have gift packages for

the Christmas season,” she said, the ever consummate sales person.

Happy 80th Birthday

April 30th, 1938 – November 24th, 2012 (74) Our beloved Wahnieta: You will be forever missed and forever remembered in the hearts of everyone who knew you. She was quite possibly the sweetest of sweeties. She passed away surrounded by family on Saturday November 24th after a short battle with lung cancer. She was born on April 30th, 1938 in Cordova Mines, Ontario, where she was raised by her Grandma Lizzy and grew up with her little sister Shirley (Pressick). There she met her husband Alan Mack, who she married on December 14th, 1957. Soon after they welcomed their children; Richard Mack (Cindy), Suzzanne Smith (Jerry), Tammie Paxton (Ron), Cindy Mack (Dave), John Mack (Carol), Anthony Mack (predeceased) and Diane Mack (Bruce). It is surely no secret how much they adored and loved their ‘momma’, a.k.a.

‘Weiner’. Her grandchildren Joey, Lisa, Danny, Nicholas, Amber, Krystle, Jimmy, Nathan, Eric, A.J., and Abigail will miss her dearly as she was more than just a grandma, and often a best friend and second mother. Her love will also live on in her four great grandchildren. Wahnieta’s life will be celebrated with a private service at the United Church in her hometown of Cordova Mines with her family and friends on December 22nd. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Ontario Lung Association, www.lung.ca or (416)864-9911.

You may also send your thoughts and prayers to Bowan Funeral Home (519)352-2390.

The sun has lost some of its shine. The stars will twinkle less. The moon has lost some luster. The world is not the same. A piece has been lost. Our Wahnieta as she was on this earth is gone. Heaven CL417101 now is brighter. We will miss her.

Perfect Pie Queen learned it all from mama

By Kate Everson

EMC News - Trenton When Lorraine Telford was a little girl, she watched her mother bake pies. She watched her older sisters bake pies. And when she grew up, she knew exactly what to do.

“I started baking pies just like my mother taught me,” she said from her Farley Crescent home. “And I started winning awards.”

Lorraine won the top award in the Perfect Pie contest at Warkworth this month for her chocolate brownie cream pie in the Seniors Division. She also won top prize in the filled category with her tropical cream pie.

“The chocolate was made with layers of brownies at the bottom, chocolate filling, whipped cream and shaved chocolate on top,” she said. The tropical cream was made with bananas, coconut cream, pineapple and whipped cream with toasted coconut on top.

This may have not been exactly like her mother would have made it, Lorraine admits. She takes old recipes and adds and changes them to suit her taste. She also gets excellent guidance from friends and family who agree to “taste test” all of her recipes.

“It’s all trial and error,” she says. “I bring the neighbours a piece of pie to taste. They don’t seem to

mind.”

Lorraine still uses the same recipe for the crust that her mother used, choosing Tenderflake lard instead of shortening. She notes that in the early days her mother might have used bacon fat.

“They used any kind of fat they had,” she said.

Warkworth has a perfect pie contest every November with over 90 entries in four categories: filled, fruit, savoury and seniors.

Lorraine has won there before and at other events, but this is the first time she entered the seniors division.

“For the seniors it can be any type of pie,” she

explains. “There are three judges who come from all over. They judge it based on presentation, filling and crust. The crust is the most important.”

Lorraine won her first pie contest ten years ago at Brighton Applefest, then she went on to the Warkworth event, now in its 33rd year. She also entered in the two years that Trenton had a pie contest at the old town hall through the Trent Port Historical Society.

Lorraine has created her own cookbook of recipes from her perfect pies. It is now in its second printing at J&B Printing and she sells it out of her home.

“It’s in large print for seniors,” she said. “Most of the people who bake pies these days are seniors.”

The cookbook includes wonderful mouthwatering photographs of her winning pies. She has several best pie recipes including her overall best pie of lemon meringue, a chocolate raspberry cream pie and a maple syrup pie that sold for $350 at auction. Call her to pick up a cookbook at 613-394-4794.

Lorraine Telford has done it again. She took home the ribbon for Best Pie contest in Warkworth this year for her chocolate brownie cream pie. Photo: Kate Everson

Trenton Santa Claus Parade winners EMC News - The Trenton Santa Claus Parade delighted hundreds of spectators with many floats, marching bands and entertainers this past weekend. With the winter chill in the air, everyone was in high spirits and enthusiastic crowds lined the streets from Centennial Park to Queen Street to see what is undoubtedly one of the best parades in the Quinte Region.

“It is amazing to see the effort and creativity from businesses, schools and community groups,” says Suzanne Andrews, chamber manager. Well over 80

floats were decorated for the holidays as they lit up the streets and kicked off the holiday season.

“This parade could not happen without support and generous donations from local businesses, service groups and individuals. They make the Trenton Santa Claus Parade possible,” says Andrews.

We would like to thank Brian Swartman and Brad Graham and all the volunteer firefighters from Station 1 for ensuring the floats were all lined up on time and the parade ran smoothly.

A special thank you to

Wayne Campbell from Montrose Inn, his continued dedication helps to make this parade a success every year.

Wayne volunteers countless hours to prepare for Santa’s arrival to Quinte West.

EMC Section B - Thursday, November 29, 2012

Student beats odds and is recognized for his courage “He was in a wheelchair and now he’s walking, what progress! I am amazed at his recovery,” said his mom.

Read is now studying to complete his Grade 12.

“I think it’s very good, a neat honour,” said Read, speaking to the media after accepting the award.

When asked about his plans for the future he said, “I don’t know yet what I want to do. My ultimate goals: hopefully to finish high school and get on with my life,” he said.

“I’m good with my hands so I’d like to do some kind of woodworking class or shop at the school,” he added.

Read is already a co-op student training at Rona in Campbellford.

“He did some woodworking before but now his hand shakes a lot,” said his mom standing by his side with his stepdad Jim Bryan.

They talked about how Read “was a normal boy before the accident,” doing what all high school students did.

“He liked woodworking and four-wheeling and he did okay in school.”

Meghan MacLeod of MindWorks Peterborough was by his side as well.

“We’re a company that works with people with acquired brain injuries. I am with Kyle four days a week 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. I go with him to lunch and to Rona for his coop placement and more,” she told EMC. When asked about his prognosis his mom said, “The

doctor told us your son is the first person who ever lived with that amount of brain damage.”

Then with emotion, she added, “I just take it day by day.”

EMC Lifestyles - Campbellford - Hugs and tears followed the presentation of the Stewart Davies Memorial Award at the annual Celebration of Excellence ceremony held recently at Campbellford District High School.

“When he got his award I cried,” said Kyle Read’s mom, Elaine.

She watched as her son, who was severely injured in an accident in January 2011, walked to the podium on his own and accepted the prestigious award.

The Stewart Davies Memorial Award recognizes a student who has confronted adversity with courage, perseverance and determination.

It was presented by Francis Davies.

For Kyle Read, 19, it was a very special occasion.

“He almost died,” said his mom after the ceremony.

She explained that her son suffered severe brain swelling and was in a coma for a couple of weeks following the accident, amazing doctors with his tenacity.

“He was a passenger in a truck that went off the road on the Eighth Line just around the corner from the house,” she said.

Her son spent six months in hospital, first at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, known for its trauma and neurosurgery program.

He just completed six months of physiotherapy and is back in school.
