EMC News - Norwood Could the Norwood Fire Station and municipal offices be moved to the new public works building on Highway #7?

Township council received a preliminary facilities review that explored potential options involving the town hall, public works building, municipal office, fire hall and Pine Street Centre “with a small portion related to the community centre.”

Council wants to “investigate a little further” an option that has municipal administration and the complete fire department shifted to the public works building despite the fact there would be a reduction in fire and rescue response times.

It is not an option supported by staff.

EMC Events - Campbellford - Schoolchildren carrying food and toys brought the spirit of giving with them to the kickoff of the annual Christmas Wish Toy and Food Drive.

Another season of looking after others began at the Campbellford Community Resource Centre with this event which took place last week.

“This event is something we look forward to as an organization and we’re so happy to have the resource centre to be part of this,” said Dawn Lee, quality assurance manager, Community Living Campbellford/ Brighton, which hosted the celebration.

This annual event is thanks to the person who started it all, Dave Montgomery, a longtime vol-

unteer with The Salvation Army.

He is supported by Community Living Campbellford/Brighton to lead this initiative.

Families throughout Trent Hills are helped as hundreds of toys are collected to be distributed later in December and if enough toys are donated then some are also given to The Salvation Army.

The toy and food drive has been operating for several years and two years ago Community Living collaborated with the Campbellford Fire Department to bring together all their resources for the drive.

The Trent Hills Fire Department has already set up boxes around town for people to drop off their donations.

Mayor kicks off toy and food drive

“This is a very good cause and we’d like to beat the 500 this year,” said Fire Chief Tim Blake.

Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan was on hand for the kickoff and placed the first toy in a sleigh in the lobby.

“Thanks to all the students who came out here today to help the community,” he told everyone.

Fred Lee, treasurer with the Lions Club of Campbellford, was also at the kickoff with two Lions members, Peter Danielsen and Doug Hagerman. They had bags of new toys the club has purchased with money from fund-raising events throughout the year.

Students from the Youth Advisory Council of Campbellford District High School are also holding their own toy drive and these will be added to those being gathered for distri-

bution.

The number of those in need has been increasing every year.

Co-ordinating with the three local elementary schools Chief Tim Blake develops a recipient list.

On December 10 teachers stop by the fire hall in Campbellford, which becomes “toy central,” to pick up the toys.

Donated food will go to the food bank.

Local landfill sites reaching capacity

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - “I don’t think people are doing enough,” said Marion Avieson, of Campbellford.

She was one of only eight people who showed up for a public information centre (PIC) set up at the arena last Monday from 3 to 7 p.m. by Northumberland County to provide information and invite comments for its Long-Term Waste Management Master Plan.

A resident of Campbellford she spoke with EMC about what she would like to see happen.

A strong advocate for recycling, Avieson said,

“A lot of people aren’t as concerned as I am. I wash and clean everything that goes into recycling. It’s my conscience that gets to me.”

Recycling accounts for approximately 40 per cent of all residential waste which the County diverts from landfill.

With Seymour landfill (5th Line) reaching capacity by April 2013 at which time it will become strictly a Waste Transfer Station and Brighton landfill (where waste from here will have to go) with four years of disposal capacity remaining (an environmental assessment is under way to try to extend

the life of the landfill to 2023) options have to be investigated by the County.

Avieson said she is willing to pay for enhanced services.

“Somebody has to pay for the services. Who else but the taxpayer as long as it’s reasonable and so long as it’s done properly,” she said.

Waste management costs $11 million annually. A revenue of $8 million means that municipalities now pick up the difference with a levy that gets paid for through private property taxes that filter through the municipalities up to the County.

Marion Avieson, of Campbellford, met with Peter McCann, left, chair of the Brighton Landfill Liaison Committee, and Adam McCue, manager of planning and technical support for Northumberland County, at the public information centre in Campbellford to discuss options for the Northumberland County Long-Term Waste Management Plan.

“One of the big drivers behind us developing a long-term plan is to figure out what it is we’re going to do with our garbage … so we’re looking at, in ten years time, do you [the public] want us to expand one of our existing landfills, do you want us to develop a new landfill in the county, do you want us to look at taking it to a private sector landfill somewhere in Ontario or the States, do you want us to look to thermal treat garbage, what do you want us to do?” said McCue. A draft plan for review by the public is expected to be ready next spring/ summer with additional public meetings scheduled.

The PIC in Campbellford was one of three, the others were in Colborne and Port Hope.

There were 16 people at the one in Colborne (for Cramahe Township).

The one in Port Hope happened after press time so no stats were available.

“I had hoped a few more people would attend. I expect that we will have more people out at the Port Hope venue,” said Adam McCue, manager of planning and technical support for Northumberland County. He attended all three.

“We’re here to look at how we can optimize the existing services that we provide such as curbside collection of garbage, processing of recyclables etc.,” he explained while waiting for folks to drop by.

Last year the county managed over 52,100 tonnes of waste, of which 18,700 tonnes were diverted through recycling and composting.

The diversion rate is 40 per cent and the county hopes to increase that to 60 per cent.

Lions make like Santa during visit best.”

The Hastings Lions are always looking for members to help with its endeavours. The club does receive help from volunteers as it runs major fund raisers like the Victoria Day Weekend road toll and lunches at Hoards Station.

They also run bars at weddings and other functions.

The money will be used to help the office with its “general needs,” says McKeown.

“Just to help us to keep doing what we’re doing,” she says.

Community Care in Hastings serves approximately 150 clients “on and off” and could also use more volunteers to help in the office and also with its well-used transportation program.

The Hastings office has eight volunteer drivers, says McKeown.

McKeown says she is “quietly” working on a couple of

new programs for the new year.

“We always hope to develop new things in the future,” she said.

The organization has had tremendous success with a series of activity programs at the Civic Centre including line dancing, yoga and Latin dance. The newest entrée is Thursday morning belly dancing.

McKeown says she had people ask if there was a chance of running a belly dancing class at the centre.

“As luck would have it I contacted a few people and found an instructor.”

She agrees that the activity programs have become very popular and chalks the success up to affordability—the classes are $3 per visit—and the fact that “people like to have things happening in the community in which they live.”

The Hastings Lions Club presented a $500 cheque to Community Care in Hastings last week. On hand to present the money to Sarah McKeown were club president Jim Dowell (left), secretary Doreen Dowell and treasurer Ian Wilkins. Photo: Bill Freeman

Scoping out a second river water main in Hastings

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Hastings Hastings residents got a chance to provide input and learn more about a proposed second river-crossing water main to serve the south side of the village during an open house last week.

The information centre was part of a municipal class environmental assessment to identify and recommend a second water main crossing the Trent River that would provide “redundancy” for the current 30-year-old main which traverses the river suspended to the County Road 45 traffic bridge.

“It’s the only source of water for the south side of the community,” says Scott White, Trent Hills general manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration. “A second water main crossing would give us redundancies so we don’t inconvenience or go without water on the south side.”

White says he can recall at least six occasions in the past 20 years “where that water main has become unavailable for supply due to maintenance items or breaks.”

A second water main run-

ning under the river would provide additional security to the current water main which White says is in “good shape.” “[But] if something should happen, and it can, we have redundancy with the second main. Typically with any municipal infrastructure, particularly water and wastewater, we like to have redundancy and this will give us that.”

The municipality has made no decision on the water main.

“Right at this point there isn’t necessarily a time frame,” says White. “What council’s directive to staff up until this point is getting a preferred location for a second river crossing and get it up to a point where it is construction ready.”

The public meeting is part of the process to “get it to the next stage to move on in terms of design,” White explained.

Engineering consultants AECOM are conducting the environmental assessment.

“This is just a key part of getting it to the next step of getting it ready.”

White says there’s a short list of four possible locations

“and maybe our strong recommendation at this point but basically they’re all still on the table at this point.”

The top-rated location, pegged at $760,000, is an under-river crossing west of the County Road 45 bridge near the water treatment plant.

The other possible underwater locations are: west of the bridge near the intersection of Hope and Front Streets on the north crossing to the Argyle and Water Street intersection on the southside, estimated cost, $680,000; east of the County Road 45 bridge near the Park Street and Water Street intersection which is estimated to cost $580,000; east of the bridge structure nearby the northern limit of the Trent River priced at $470,000.

The municipality will look toward future infrastructure funding to pay for the project,

says White.

“There’s all kinds of infrastructure money being talked about coming down the line.”

Having the project ready to go will enhance its eligibility, White added.

“We’ll have to wait; it certainly won’t be in 2013. We’re still in a freeze with our water and sewer rates at this time.”

Going under the river bed with “directional drilling” is how the water main would be constructed.

“It’s fairly complex because you never know what you’re going to find underground but the method is done routinely all over the world,” says engineer Doug Timms of AECOM A project of this nature would take three to four months to complete, Timms said.

“This project really is to address the vulnerabilities.”

Letters to the editor

Wyley says snuff the teacher’s union

structured, seniority-rules environment, not subject to depressions or severe recessions.

2. Wonderful (civil service) benefits like defined benefit pension plans, accumulated sick leave, (at least until now), and medical, eye-wear, hearing and dental assistance of which the great unwashed can only dream. (Don’t look at their collective bargaining agreement; it will make you crazy).

3. An incestuous administrative hierarchy that themselves benefit from the gains made by their unionized counterparts. Together, these goodies add up to one sweet deal. (If it wasn’t, why are thousands of young accredited teachers waiting in the wings to get in on this “good thing”? And why aren’t the retired teachers forced to actually retire and let the new kids take the available fill-in positions?)

So the bad guys, (assuming

you pay property and income and other taxes), are the union representatives who are forcing the teachers to drink the Kool-Aid of rebellion about their wage levels and the perceived new “takeaways.” Let’s just see how demanding the teachers’ job really is. Start in September, get two weeks off at Christmas, another week in March, all the normal stat. holidays, and finish up in June.

(No allowance being made for additional adjustments like professional development or sick days.) Wyley generously calculates 195 actual working days. Divided into an average gross wage of $75,000, (the grid is $40,000 to $90,000), that works out to an average of $385 per day. One hundred and ninety-five days, by the way, is just over one-half a year of work, 53.4 per cent to be precise. Oh wait!

You say you also get to retire in your mid-fifties with a full indexed pension? That, my son, is “some good” as

them and strike, your NEXT premier will make Mike Harris and/or Dalton McGuinty look like tooth fairies. The union feels threatened, (and rightly so for all the reasons mentioned above), so they are doing what unions do: yell and vigorously rebel.

But the cookie jar is truly empty and the jig is up with parental hostage-taking. You still want to strike? Hosta la vista to $385 per day because that deficit dictates rollbacks no matter what baby! Parents

will “ask for compensation if teachers choose refrigeration.” (There’s a rallying cry for parents and taxpayers!)

You teachers have been, and are presently, getting bad advice from your union. Don’t drink the Kool-Aid but rather agree that you have been doing a good job for which you will continue to be very generously compensated.

MPs should be ashamed

Dear Editor, The worst among us hurt the least among us.

Parliament voted on BillC398 this week. The bill would have saved millions of lives by simplifying the process to send generic drugs to developing nations.

“We are highly disappointed with the result of tonight’s vote. This Bill would have helped get lifesaving medicine to the world’s most vulnerable children without any additional costs to the government or Canadians.

This is a missed opportunity and it is children who will suffer most,” says UNICEF Canada’s President and CEO David Morley.

Currently only 42 per cent of the estimated 1.5 million infants born worldwide to mothers with HIV receive the antiretroviral (ARV) treatments needed to prevent transmission of the disease.

Rick Norlock and Dean Del Mastro voted against the bill.

They should be ashamed of themselves. They represent our voice in Parliament and I

don’t like what I am hearing.

I researched this issue and I cannot find a comment from their caucus with any valid reason why they voted against this bill. When you see these men out and about this holiday season, I encourage you to respectfully ask them why they voted to not save the lives of the world’s neediest children? I certainly would like to know why. For more information on this bill you can contact the Grandmothers Advocacy Network.

Dear Editor, In ancient times, (the 1960s and 1970s), the teachers’ union(s) had the ability to cross-ruff local school boards by playing them off against one another to win huge wage gains for all.

More recently, Bob Rae in the 1980s, and Mike Harris in the 1990s, incurred teachers’ fury and were unable to accomplish any significant concessions on either wages or the teachers’ sweet benefits. Even now, a teacher’s pet, Dalton McGuinty, has discovered that coddling begets continued expectations of more coddling. “The cupboard is bare” is just a nursery rhyme to the teachers’ union.

What to do? What to do?

Wyley thinks the teachers are good at what they do, but their union representatives are not too swift at recognizing a good thing. What is that “good thing”? It is: 1. Much better than average wages in a guaranteed,

EMC Editorial - In other parts of the world, separatist movements are usually violent (e.g.

Kashmir, Sri Lanka, the various Kurdish revolts) and they sometimes succeed (South Sudan, Eritrea, East Timor). Whereas in the democratic Gwynne Dyer prosperous, countries of the West, they are generally peaceful, frivolous, and unsuccessful.

A case in point is the various separatist movements in the European Union. Scotland will be holding a vote on independence from Britain in 2014, and both Catalonia and the Basque country in Spain have just elected nationalist governments that promise to hold referendums on independence. But it will probably never happen.

The Scots, the Catalans and the Basques tend to see themselves as victims, but nobody else does. They are self-governing in most matters except defence and foreign affairs, they have their own budgets, and they maintain separate education systems and cultural institutions.

The Scots get more money back from the central government in London than they pay in taxes, while Catalonia and the Basque country (Euskara, in the Basque language), claim that they contribute more to Madrid than they receive. But the sums are relatively modest, and in any case it is not necessary to break up the country in order to renegotiate fiscal imbalances.

What really drives the separatism is emotion, which is why popular support for it is so soft. Rectifying the historic defeat of (insert name of centuries-old lost battle here) by declaring independence in the here-and-now has great emotional appeal, but most people put their economic interests first. Nationalist leaders therefore always promise that independence will change nothing important on the economic front.

The way they do this in both Scotland and the separatist regions of Spain is by insisting that membership in the European Union would pass automatically to the successor state. The opponents of secession, however, argue that there’s nothing automatic about it.

The arguments are not just directed at the home audience. Last month, when Scotland’s First Minister, Alex Salmond, agreed the terms for the 2014 referendum with the British government, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo promptly declared that an independent Scotland would NOT automatically be an EU member, and that any one of the 27 EU member states (like Spain, for example) could veto it.

“In the hypothetical case of independence,” he said, “Scotland would have to join the queue [for EU membership] and ask to be admitted, needing the unanimous approval

Letter to the editor

of all member states to obtain the status of a candidate country.” The European Commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, also said in September that an independent Scotland would be seen as a new state and would have to apply to join.

This was furiously disputed by Alex Salmond, who knew his chances of winning the 2014 referendum were nil if the Scots believed they were voting to leave the EU. For months he insisted he had sought the opinion of his government’s law officers, who had confirmed that Scotland would inherit EU membership automatically, and would not even have to adopt the euro. Alas, he was lying.

Late last month, it became known that Salmond had not actually asked for the law officers’ opinion at all. Now he has been forced by public opinion to pop the question—and he may not like the answer.

An even bigger defeat for Salmond came in his negotiations with British Prime Minister David Cameron, where he had to agree that the referendum would ask a simple yes-orno question: in or out? This goes against the instincts of all separatist leaders, who prefer a fuzzy, feel-good question that doesn’t mention the frightening word “independence.”

The most famous formulation of this question was in the 1995 Quebec referendum on secession from Canada: “Do you agree that Quebec should become sovereign after having made a formal offer to Canada for a new economic and political partnership within the scope of the bill respecting the future of Quebec and of the agreement signed on June 12, 1995?” Not exactly clear, is it?

That referendum was very close, but in 2000 the Canadian federal government passed a law generally known as the “Clarity Act.” It said negotiations between the federal government and any province on secession should only follow “a clear expression of the will of the population of a province that the province cease to be part of Canada.”

This requirement would not be met, it added, if the referendum question “merely focuses on a mandate to negotiate without soliciting a direct expression of the will of the population of that province on (independence),” or if the question “envisages other possibilities ..., such as economic or political arrangements with Canada, that obscure a direct expression of the will of the population on (secession).”

This law drastically reduces the likelihood that the separatists could win any future referendum in Quebec, and it’s obviously what David Cameron had in mind in his negotiations with Salmond on the Scottish referendum. As for Catalonia and Euskara, the national parliament in Madrid must approve of any referendum on separation, and the current Spanish government has made it abundantly clear that it has no intention of doing that.

So it’s mostly just hot air and hurt feelings, really.

A corruption inquiry is in order

Dear Editor, The Liberals placed a moratorium on offshore/onshore wind farms in February 2011. The reason given according to the press release was “further study was needed re. the impact on health and the environment.”

There is no indication when the studies might be completed.

In April of 2010, Windstream Energy Inc. of Burlington, Ontario, was awarded a Feed-In-Tariff contract by the Ontario Power Authority to build a 100 turbine, 300 megawatt off-shore wind project west of Wolfe Island.

They have recently filed a $475-million lawsuit against the provincial government for damages. Businesses like Windstream invested millions in wind projects. The Windstream president says the company has been backed into a corner and has no option but litigation.

Since the Green Energy Act was brought into being, there has been strong public objections to wind projects in rural areas. McGuinty was aware of this … it’s a general consensus in rural Ontario. The cancellation of the wind farms in 2011 was a vote getter … a costly one.

Then there is the gas plant fiscal disaster. McGuinty felt he needed Oakville’s votes for a coveted majority in 2011 and Oakville didn’t want the gas plant. Ooh la la …

let’s just cancel that. We will move this gas plant 210 kilometres east to the Bath area. No consultation of course.

The public will pay. Latest dollar figures for those few votes are pegged upwards to $1.3 billion and the count is still on.

Fast track to November 21, 2012, and a press release by the now lame duck Minister of Energy Chris Bentley: ”Ontario is aiming to provide electricity consumers with greater access to information about their energy consumption and help save electricity costs.” A plan to help us lowly taxpayers to conserve and save. An oxymoron in Liberal language.

I ask you, what is the incentive for consumers to “conserve and save” when those at the wheel are blowing our billions on highly suspect outcomes or to further the Liberal party?

I really resent the implication that we who pay the bills are so gullible.

We need to follow Quebec’s lead and have an inquiry into corruption in Ontario. The Liberal regime of the past nine years has created many areas to investigate.

Politicians behaving badly

By Terry Bush

EMC Editorial - Poor Justin Trudeau. Make that poor, rich Justin Trudeau.

The guy just can’t seem to catch a break … nor should he.

It’s a good thing he got his mother’s looks because he certainly didn’t inherit his father’s brains or political savvy.

Trudeau once again finds himself scrambling this week to take his foot out of his mouth. This time he’s angered his own party with comments about the gun registry and gun ownership.

While admitting that he supported the registry and voted for it, he considers it a failed public policy and has no intention of bringing it back if elected. This statement angered members of his party who continue to defend the registry and consider it part of the Liberals’ legacy, on par with the Charter of Rights and official bilingualism. Funny, given the Liberals’ showing in the last election that they would consider one of their most divisive policies something they should restore if elected.

But that’s the feeling of Martin Cauchon, a former Liberal justice minister who has gone so far as to say contenders need to show they’re on board with Liberal values and should stand up for the principles that define the party. As you may have guessed, Cauchon is also considering a run at the party’s leadership. If this is how the Liberals plan to renew their party, they might as well bring back Stephane Dion.

Cauchon also took exception to Trudeau’s comments made in Hawksbury last week where he said that gun ownership was “part of the culture of Canada.” Perhaps Cauchon has never spent any time away from the big city because if he took two steps into the country, he’d soon realize that gun ownership isn’t limited to our friends south of the border. One would be hard-pressed to find a farmer who doesn’t own a gun and the farther you travel north, the more firearms you’ll find.

Trudeau did manage to barely get his head above water when he said his comments about the gun registry didn’t apply to Quebec, the only province to use the courts to keep its records from being destroyed by the Harper government. Trudeau didn’t feel it was a divisive issue in that province.

Good thing Trudeau has a few more years to hone his political skills if the mantle of leadership is bestowed upon him by the Liberal Party. He’ll certainly need to improve, given the fact that he only has the life experiences of the wealthy to draw from and hasn’t even held a cabinet post yet aside from the shadow variety. Good hair and a recognizable name do not a Prime Minister make.

Poor Stephen Harper. He really needs to pick his friends more carefully.

Having stuck his (and unfortunately our) neck out at the United Nations last week during the vote to upgrade the UN status of the Palestinians, our PM has some “splainin” to do.

With global powerhouses, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and couple of other U.S. beholding countries in his corner along with the Czech Republic, Israel and the States, Harper bucked world opinion once again and voted against the motion.

Harper feels, despite decades of failure, that the Palestinians and Israel should just sit down at a table and come to an agreement about boundaries for a Palestinian state. Nobody should be allowed to make a unilateral decision says Harper. Given that negotiations haven’t worked in the past and more and more of the West Bank has been swallowed up by Israel and its settlers from around the world, the Palestinians aren’t exactly on even footing when it comes to reaching an agreement. Who usually wins when one party is always dealing from a position of strength with a superpower in its corner?

The day after the vote to upgrade the Palestinians to an observer state, Israel unilaterally declared that it will be building more illegal settlements, this time in an area which will deal a death blow to any two-state agreement. The Palestinians broke off negotiations long ago stating they won’t come to the table until Israel stops building settlements on their territory so a sit down won’t be happening.

And because the Palestinians had the gall to go to the UN to request a vote so the whole world could have a say in the matter, Netanyahu has unilaterally decided the Israelis will once again withhold millions of tax dollars collected on the Palestinians’ behalf making good on the threats of the U.S. and Israel before the vote. Harper is also considering stopping aid to the Palestinians for being so uppity.

While the U.S., Britain and France denounced Netanyahu’s promise of more illegal settlements, Stephen Harper relayed that Netanyahu had called him on the phone to thank him for his vote. No condemnation, no symbolic recall of ambassadors, nothing but a blurb on a web site saying Canada doesn’t believe in unilateral decisions. Talk about being out of step with the rest of the world.

On Monday, the UN general assembly held a vote that basically asked Israel to join most of the nuclear world in signing the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty and opening up its nuclear facilities to inspection. Canada was one of only six countries to vote against the resolution. You can guess the rest.

There is plenty of blame to go around in this mess called the Middle East and pressure should be put on all sides. Apparently, double standards are just fine with the Harper government.

And that’s an embarrassment to all Canadians considering the whole world will suffer if things aren’t soon resolved.

Source water bill could be $160,000

By Bill Freeman

R0011783783

EMC News - Norwood The Township of Asphodel-Norwood could face a source water protection bill of $160,000 over the next five years yet the provincial government remains silent about funding to help municipalities implement the program.

Otonabee Region Conservation Authority CEO Allan Seabrooke provided the $32,000 a year “rough estimate” to council last week based on calculations related to costs municipalities will incur once the province approves the Trent Conservation Coalition source water protection region’s plan in mid-2013.

Seabrooke and ORCA board chair Terry Low reiterated the lack of answers from the ministry of environment on direct funding to municipalities although the ministry has agreed to provide an undisclosed amount to the coalition region through March 2014 for staff working at conservation authorities on source water protection.

“We recognize there are concerns raised by municipalities about funding,” Low said.

The ORCA board and the Coalition continue to lobby the MOE “stressing the importance of providing initial funding to municipalities for the implementation of the plan,” he said.

At a recent Peterborough forum on source water attended by four MOE officials, including the director of the source water protection branch, Low said they “would not confirm funding.”

They did commit temporary funding to make sure there are conservation authority staff with experience on source water protection available to assist municipalities, he added.

ORCA and area municipalities have spent the past year putting together a business case identifying the local costs related to source water protection; that package is in the ministry’s hands “again highlighting the importance of further funding.

“That’s been the key all along. [We’ve spent] the past five years pounding on this,” Low said.

“A lot of letters have been sent, a lot of lobbying has been done at various levels,” Seabrooke agreed.

“The message has been made loud and clear to the ministry.”

They’ve emphasized the financial “stresses placed on smaller townships.”

The ministry is aware of the estimated costs to local municipalities for the work they have to complete, Seabrooke said.

“That money has not been confirmed or discussed at this point, that’s what they’re telling us.”

One significant cost will be the hiring of a risk management officer to help develop risk management plans with landowners affected by identified threats in the source protection policies. In Norwood there are 13 “threats” identified for the drinking water system that have to be managed. In Hastings there are 58.

It’s expected that the cost of the RMO, working out

through water rate increase, property taxes and “reasonable fees” for service.

“There are a number of different ways it can occur,” Seabrooke says.”

A yearly $42.85 charge to Norwood’s 750 water system users, for instance, would recover the $32,000, Seabrooke noted.

“So it’s not an onerous amount on an annual basis.”

Letters to the editor

Seabrooke believes there’s also a good chance the cost estimates are at the high end of the scale and remains confident things will run well.

“The implementation of source water protection and the work put in front of us, I don’t see that as an onerous task. I think it can be done very smoothly. I think it’s pretty doable.”

“It’s a little scary,” Mayor Doug Pearcy said.

Blowing your dollars in the wind

Dear Editor, One of my biggest beefs with the former McGuinty government is its fanatical desire to impose significantly higher energy costs on his fellow Ontario citizens with the Green Energy Act. Many of the people, including a lot of senior citizens on fixed incomes, are being forced to pay those higher rates.

However, the Liberal government couldn’t care less because Premier Dalton McGuinty sees green energy as a twisted way of establishing his legacy.

My problem with wind turbines and solar power was reinforced recently with a very astute editorial writ-

ten by Norman Rogers, a senior policy advisor of the Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based think tank. Rogers writes extensively about global warming and green energy subjects.

What does he think about wind power? He describes the left wing experiment as a total joke. Rogers says government could create more jobs at far less cost by training dogs to walk on treadmills to generate electricity. However, windmills do underline the hypocrisy of the liberal left who never admit being wrong even if an overwhelming majority of the population disagrees with them.

That hypocrisy of envi-

ronmentalists is astonishing.

Previous to wind turbines, the killing of birds, particularly the eagle, was close to a criminal offence as far as ecologists were concerned.

In the post-wind power era all that has changed.

Now the environmentalists are silent as windmills kill thousands of birds all over North American, including the iconic American eagle.

Solar and wind energy, when combined with storage, is eight to ten times more costly to produce than traditional sources of energy such as coal, natural gas and nuclear.

As Rogers points out, wind power gets really expensive when you add elec-

tricity storage. If not for massive government subsidies, nobody would even think of building wind turbines.

It’s amazing that supposedly educated politicians put two and two together on this issue and get three.

Don’t get me wrong. I believe alternative sources of energy are a good thing but only to augment the proven energy sources that would keep costs as low as possible for the consumer.

That way innocent taxpayers wouldn’t be paying for the mistakes of people we elect, supposedly to look after our interests.

Dear Editor, The Nexen sale to China should be an open book to Canadians. Canadians would not appreciate Chinese customs and human rights abuses. In the British colonial era, native Canadians had no rights and were put on reservations with unjust treaties. The Canadian taxpayer is now paying to right this injustice. I wish

the native Canadians every success.

Human rights denial is not new to the Brits. “Britain’s Gulag,” a recent book tells the story of a nondemocratic British Empire.

Canada’s Mackay condones Israel for defending their country but excludes Palestinians for defending their country. The three wise men, Mackay, Baird and

Harper, never travelled outside North America. Presently as politicians, they travel internationally at our expense, assuring us what is best for Canada!

I respect the remembrance of our veterans. There never should have been veterans past and future. The leaders in the world with their peasized brains lack the knowledge to avoid war although

they can and do develop war material to destroy humanity. History glamourizes these leaders. War for corporations is money, for politicians, power and resources and for soldiers, death.

Women have the power to end the carnage … no more children. Leaders would have to rely on robots.

Training and recruitment among final tasks before hospice opens

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Warkworth Within six months the first rural residential hospice in Northumberland County could be operational.

That is the hope of Gwen Cleveland, resident care coordinator for The Bridge Hospice.

She and a crowd of volunteers, donors, visionaries and supporters gathered recently for the official ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the completion of the building.

Aureen Richardson, a longtime resident of Warkworth and the first major donor, was on hand to cut the ribbon.

Now the next stage in the journey to reality has begun … training volunteers, recruiting more and putting policy and procedures in place.

“At the moment we have 100 volunteers. About half have indicated they will do resident care,” she told EMC. With the dates of the next accredited 30-hour volunteer courses being lined up for the new year, Cleveland is actively recruiting.

“Three more courses will be offered,” she explained.

“We still need to make sure that the combination of professional and volunteer care will be available,” said Sarika Diljohn-Maharaj, administrative assistant.

“That is the next step so our focus will be working with local agencies putting together our care model so that we have the professional care … as well as recruiting more volunteers.”

Not yet ready to take in residents the intake process will also be a part of this journey to completion, a journey that has taken several years.

Internet has opened digital world to Historical Society

By Bill Freeman

EMC Lifestyles - Hastings The digital world has opened up new possibilities for the Hastings Historical Society.

“The digital world has just opened up communications,” executive member Jim Coveney told the Northwest EMC during the Hastings indoor Christmas Farmers’ Market hosted by Northumberland Tractor Parts where he was selling much-coveted HHS calendars, post cards and copies of Stewart Richardson’s biography of Hockey Hall of Fame player Dit Clapper.

“We have shipped calendars to Ohio and Hawaii to families who had connections to Hastings one way or the other,” he explained.

One family cottaged in Hastings for 50 years and “scooped everything to do with Hastings.”

“The people from Hawaii now want us to do a digital copy of the Coughlan family history and that’s part of our digital project for the

year,” said Coveney.

The HHS is busy with projects and ideas and Coveney says efforts like the well-received calendar (they’re already working on a 2014 edition) has led to the acquisition of a number of interesting artefacts.

The calendar has raised the organization’s profile and provided an entrée into local collections; it has also eased any concerns people might have about the respect and care personal memorabilia receives from members of the society’s digitization team.

“Now we’re getting people offering us collections of Hastings things that will make photos and other forms of communication [like the calendar]. People are happy to have a place to keep these things. Our goal is to make digital copies of everything that’s of historical interest.”

“We’re looking for more interesting photos for cards and calendars in the future,” he said.

The Dit Clapper project spear-

headed by historical society has produced a number of interesting photo finds including long-soughtafter images of the outdoor arena that Clapper’s father managed.

Coveney continues to look for photo images of the Hastings railway station, once one of the busiest hubs in the village but a site that has proved tricky for photo-tracking sleuths.

“The Internet has opened the world to people who are interested in Hastings,” he says.

He is excited about the society’s acquisition of old eight-millimetre movies from 1950 to 1975 that have been converted to DVD format.

“We’re seeking more to make an interesting record of that time. We want to produce an audio overlay while there are people here to tell the story.”

Coveney says that most Historical Society members don’t have Hastings roots.

“So I realize how important it is

to get this knowledge.”

As an example he notes a recently discovered 1914 Hastings team lacrosse photo; at that time Hastings

was a provincial lacrosse power.

The challenge they face is identifying the players in the photo.

Quality Control Commitment (sign & date)

EMC News - Warkworth “It is regrettable that as Community Nursing Home moves ahead to fulfill this goal, the home in Warkworth may be subject to the fallout of negative media.”

That statement appeared in a letter received at a recent meeting of Trent Hills’ council from Stephen Picott, chief operating officer of Community Lifecare Incorporated.

In a story published last month, EMC wrote about a decision by Community Lifecare Inc., to change where it gets medications/prescriptions for residents of Community Nursing Home in Warkworth which, according to its owner, will result in a substantial loss of business for Remedy’s Rx Warkworth Pharmacy.

Picott further stated: “It is regrettable that as Community Nursing Home moves ahead to fulfill this goal, the home in Warkworth may be subject to the fallout of negative media. Media events in health care affect the residents, their families and the staff and could have a negative impact on admissions.

This in turn has significant consequences for our funding and therefore our staffing.”

For Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan the letter prompted these comments.

“I am really disappointed in this. I’ve never seen a poorer attempt to whitewash in all of my life.”

Picott begins his letter with the statement: “Community Lifecare Inc. is a small family owned business dedicated to the best in quality care to the residents of the nursing home in Warkworth. In fact, it has been a great privilege and joy to provide this service to the community since we first opened in November of 1969.”

Picott also notes that that “in 1994 we invested in redeveloping this property to provide better quality accommodations with modern amenities.”

He also stated: “For this reason, a few years ago we approached our suppliers with our plan to upgrade our pharmacy services—including Warkworth Pharmacy.

Unfortunately, no upgrades have been forthcoming since these discussions.”

According to Alykhan Velji, owner of the Warkworth Pharmacy, the fact that he is no longer going to be supplying the medications/ prescriptions to the residents of the nursing home, means he will be losing 20,000 prescriptions.

“That’s 50 per cent of my business,” he told EMC. Velji explained that when Community Lifecare asked for tenders back in 2008, the company chosen was PulseRX. At that time, said Velji, one of the owners of PulseRX agreed, “with an informal handshake agreement … nothing signed,” that he could supply the medications to the nursing home in Warkworth.

Review options for municipal facilities

EMC News - Norwood - A preliminary review of options for municipal buildings in Asphodel-Norwood was received by council and is expected to generate more talk.

Facilities co-ordinator Chuck Pedersen outlined six options, with pros and cons, that blend services under one roof in varying configurations and suggested that councillors might like to add to the list of possible options. Below is a list of options: (1) If discussions with Pine Street Centre users are agreeable, declare the centre surplus and help the historical society find better storage space for its archives while providing an accessible location (possibly the Mil-

lennium Room) the Seniors Friendship Club with plenty of parking. If the Pine Street site is retained the municipality faces an $80,000 bill to make it accessible. Proceeds from a sale would go toward township facilities.

(2a) Move the municipal office to unused space at the public works building with an elevator at a rough cost of $400,000. There would be a loss of some public works department space such as the training room; the loss of the administrative offices downtown could impact local business. Staff believes there are better options.

(2b) Move the municipal offices to the public works building on one level, with no elevator, at a rough cost

of $600,000. Staff believes there are better options.

(3) Move fire administration, training and support to the public works building taking over underutilized upstairs space. The existing fire station would be replaced with a simple truck bay. The rough cost of this option is $160,000. Response times

would remain “reasonable” because satellite stations would not change.

(4) Move the entire fire department to the public works building at a rough cost of $375,000. There would be efficiencies for shared space but response times would increase and there’d be considerable costs to make the

conversion. Staff does not support this option.

(5) Move both the municipal office and fire department to the public works building at a rough cost of $975,000.

There would be shared space efficiencies but the cost is extreme and staff does not support the option.

(6) Move the municipal

office to the community centre at a rough cost of $600,000. The Millennium Room would be redesigned to accommodate offices and the open space above the centre’s lobby would be converted to a public area for viewing and functions.

Staff supports this plan for long-term planning.

Pharmacy owner wants a written contract Continued from page 14

This month-to-month handshake agreement continued for three years.

Velji told EMC that he did ask to formalize the agreement with a signed contract but that never happened.

Following protocol and working through nursing home administrator Lisa Allanson he said he would upgrade his technology if he was given a signed contract.

Without a contract he didn’t want to implement

what he considers to be a substantial investment.

The cost for him to upgrade, with Community Lifecare’s software, would be anywhere from $50,000 to $60,000, he told EMC. “If it’s a matter of technol-

ogy I am willing to upgrade as long as I know I have a contract,” Velji told EMC. Velji said the future of his pharmacy remains in jeopardy. He hopes to replace the lost business with new customers.

Leahy concert to thrill Norwood

By Bill Freeman

EMC Entertainment - Norwood - Shania Twain loved Leahy so much that she asked the band to open for her on the record setting and musicshifting “Come Over Here” tour and for 175 shows the eight-member Lakefieldbased band thrilled interna-

tional audiences and added to their reputation as one of the finest country-roots-Celtic bands in the world.

Local fans can get a taste of that brilliance May 4 when the band pulls into the AsphodelNorwood Community Centre for a concert that is part of the Norwood IODE’s 100th anni-

versary celebrations.

The concert, with just 1,000 tickets available, is being presented by the Norwood IODE and Norwood Lions Club.

Area music lovers have watched the group grow as performers as part of The Leahy Family which blazed a pioneering trail across the music world before morphing into Leahy in 1997 with the self-titled instrumental album Leahy.

That album, which reached number four on the Billboard world music chart, helped the band claim two Juno awards in 1998, one for best new group and another for best instrumental artist. The following year they won another Juno as best country group or duo and joined Twain for her mammoth tour.

The band is currently working on a fourth album and DVD, a live recording.

Tickets for the Norwood show are $40 for adults and a limited number of youth tickets at $25; there are also $75 VIP packages which include preferred seating and a private “meet and greet” after the show. Cash purchases can be made at Home Hardware stores in Campbellford, Norwood, Hastings, Marmora, Havelock, Madoc, Apsley, Lakefield, Lindsay (Kent Street), Millbrook and Peter-

borough (Simcoe Street and Chemong Road); J.J. Stewart Motors, Norwood; Centennial Pharmacy Norwood (youth tickets only at this location), P.G. Towns Store, Douro; East City Flower Shop, Peterborough and Peterborough Chrysler.

You can buy tickets by credit card at <www.leahymusic.com/>.

The show is at 7 p.m. with the doors opening at 6:15 p.m.

EMC Entertainment - Belleville - Quick! How fast can you say “Peter Potter panto” four times over?

That is the title of this year’s holiday season pantomime by the Quinte area’s resident stage genius, Caroline Smith.

Before you jump to conclusions, it has “nothing to do with Harry Potter” This fun romp involves completely different characters and a plot centred on the ancient Mayan calendar and its “doom’s day.”

Most of the seven on-stage characters are repeats from previous pantos by Smith’s Moonpath Productions, including Belleville-born Graham Parkhurst and Ryan Allen, he of the powerful voice.

Another familiar face with local audiences is Prince Edward County performer Rick Zimmerman.

Eric Craig plays the traditional cross-dresser, Mrs. Potter, and Rachel Fischer adds a touch of evil, playing “Diabolica.” Newcomer Sarah Horsman said she is particularly pleased with her role as “the heroine.”

“We’re all having fun,” said Zimmerman, confirming the usual ad-lib antics and strong audience interaction.

Take the stress out of this holiday season and give the gift of laughter...one size fits all!

Looking back on 35 years of curling history

By Judy Backus

EMC Sports - Marmora The invitation to the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Marmora and Area Curling Club’s incorporation read, “Join us for an evening of walking down memory lane.” Anyone arriving at the club on the evening of

December 1, was able to do just that. Tables were filled with memorabilia including letters, photos, trophies, and newspaper clippings from years gone by, while the walls were lined with hundreds of photos mounted on bristol board, resulting in a peek at Marmora’s curling

days over the past decades.

Club President Wendy McCoy, who organized and prepared the many and tempting edibles, which varied from canapés to sweets and homemade fudge, credited fellow member Joy Reid for helping to organize the artefacts. She mentioned

options but wants more information on the broad range of suggestions rather than asking for more details on just “option five” which suggests moving the complete fire department and municipal office to the public works building on Highway #7, a recommendation staff does not support.

Councillor Rick Kloosterman tabled a motion asking for further investigation of that option.

Hay wants a more “fulsomeness answer” to why staff opposes that option and more clarity regarding the admittedly roughly estimated cost of $975,000.

Facilities co-ordinator Chuck Pedersen says dollar estimates were based solely on county construction costs.

“We used numbers that the county uses for construction purposes,” Pedersen explained.

He said he would not spend money to develop more detailed price quotations without direction and authorization from council.

“I don’t have enough rationale for why staff doesn’t support this to argue against it and I don’t have enough sense of what number six (moving the municipal office to the community centre) might look like in order to turn down the current motion and move to another one,” said Hay.

that invitations had been sent to all signing members of the incorporation, as well as all current members, of which there are 80. As well, an ad appeared in the paper to notify past members and any other interested parties about the gathering.

Prior to the guests’ arrival, McCoy commented

on the many items retrieved from the club’s storage cupboard, saying, “Some of the things we found were just amazing.” In speaking of past members she suggested, “They were such good historians and kept records of all club activities over the years,” adding with regard to the present day, “We need

to be better historians!”

During the evening, Marmora and Lake Councillor Linda Bracken presented McCoy with a certificate to mark the occasion, saying how the curling club functions through the work of volunteers and how good they have been to keep the club operational for the past 35 years.

Christmas window winner

“We used numbers that the county uses for construction purposes.”

One of the arguments against a fire station move to the public works station is an expected increase in emergency response times.

“I really don’t have a good sense of what is an acceptable response time,” Hay said. “I need more framework around this too. I’d like to have more information on more than just [option five].”

Campbellford 4-H members bring home second place

By Sue Dickens

ticipants from any county are permitted to compete at the national level and a herdsman makes nine.

No stranger to competition she won grand champion showman at the Campbellford fair last year but the Royal was a new experience.

“It was a different atmosphere when you got in the ring. I’ve never shown in a ring that big before,” she said.

She also came home with fourth place in the Junior Yearling event with Jeffshaven Goldwyn Bambi.

“I like the Royal because you get to meet lots of people and make connections

R0011644588

EMC News - Trent Hills It’s not always about winning but this year the Northumberland County 4-H farmers did come home with second place in the Premier County competition at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

Sarah Jeffs of Campbellford who was one of the eight 4-H members of the team who went to the fair said this was a great experience.

“This was my first time showing at the Royal although I have gone as a herdsman for the previous two years,” she told EMC. No more than eight par-

in the industry all around the province,” she said.

Jeffs, 19, is in her second year of university and is taking environmental management in agriculture at Ridgetown. She has been in 4-H for about nine years.

Matt Forestell, also of Campbellford, was another member of the Northumberland County 4-H team This was his fifth year at the Royal. Last year I came second as a junior showman,” he said. This year he brought home sixth place in Intermediate Showman - dairy.

“I‘ve been in 4-H for the past five or six years and enjoy working with different people and with the cows,” he told EMC. “At the Royal you get to meet people from all over.

I have friends in Quebec, PEI and Nova Scotia,” he added.

Living on a turkey farm he’s lucky he has friends who have cattle which he can show. In fact he helped Gord McMillan, owner of Kingsway Farms, with his cows at the Royal.

He plans on going to university and get in the business of agriculture.

Bryce Seaborn, 17, another Campbellford 4-H member on the Northumberland team entered the showmanship classes and came home with a 7th Intermediate Showman win with Comestar Alica Goldwyn, a Holstein heifer.

He’s been going to the Royal since 2008 and en-

Others who were on the team included: Mike Barnum who placed sixth, Summer Yearling (Kingsway Fever Cowbell); Derek Lee who placed seventh, Intermediate Calf (Kingsway Goldwyn Dallas); Jess Carr who was tenth Intermediate Showman; and Mike and Kristen Barnum who were tenth, and 11th in showmanship.

Joanna Linton was a chaperone with the group and is a 4-H leader.

She explained that each year nine delegates (herdsman included) are chosen from all the dairy clubs in Northumberland 4-H which takes in the West Northumberland club, Campbellford Senior Calf Club and Campbellford Junior Calf Club.

“They compete at three fairs, Campbellford, Belleville and Roseneath to accumulate points and that’s how they get selected for one of the top eight spots,” she explained.

“Getting second in premier county in the Canadian 4-H Classic is an honour,” she said.

There were 53 counties from all over Canada competing.

“And we were second,” she said with a grin.

Katie Petherick, one of the chaperones to the Royal, has been through the 4-H program and is now a leader with Northumberland 4-H. She does it because, “I guess to give to give back to the 4-H program.

“I think anyone can benefit for taking 4-H programs,” she added.

Young people can join 4-H between the ages of nine and 21 and there are plenty of clubs, not just dairy clubs. It offers everything from sheep clubs to woodworking, to lifeskills.

Hastings Christmas market continues to grow

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Hastings The Hastings Christmas Farmers’ Market continues to grow in popularity, variety and festiveness.

“We want to make it a happening for the village and a get-together and celebration of the season.

That’s the main point of it,” co-organizer Barb Klatt told the Northwest EMC as droves of browsers and shoppers dropped into the Northumberland Tractor Parts shop which had been transformed into a seasonal bazaar-like space.

“It has definitely grown,” Klatt said surveying the 18 vendors. “I find that the calibre of artists has grown too. It’s a showcase of talent and bringing people together.”

The event featured things like Christmas greens and decorations,

jams and preserves, organic vegetables, fruit, breads and tarts, alpaca wool

socks, hats and mittens, maple syrup and honey, watercolours, handcrafted canoe paddles, jewellery and quilted blankets.

“It’s a broad variety and it’s all local,” Klatt added.

“It’s been fun; what else can you call it?” said Lillie Rienstra of Northumberland Tractor Parts who also helps organize the show.

“We’re happy to give people a chance to get out and do some Christmas shopping,” Rienstra said. “I’m always surprised at some of the people who live in this area and their talents.

“It’s nice to be able to give crafters a chance to display what they do; we’ve got people selling stuff here that is valuable.”

Friends of NDHS want “low key” meeting with superintendents EMC News - Norwood The Community Friends of Norwood District High School will arrange a “low key” meeting with two public school board superintendents to share some of their ideas about the high school and learn more about the board’s exploration of options for small rural schools.

The group was responding to a positive letter from

Kawartha Pine Ridge District Public School Board director of education Rusty Hicks, a response to an earlier letter sent to Hicks by the committee asking about the board’s interest in striking a committee to look at programming options for small community schools.

“As you well know, across our system and across most of the province, declining enrollment is a reality, and the

Norwood community is no exception,” Hicks wrote to Friends chair Verna Shackleton.

“We have the mutual goal of providing the best possible program for all of our students and I commend your efforts and that of the committee to looking for ways to do this,” he said. “Although we have not struck a formal committee, we do have a number of trustees and

Warming up the night

school administrators exploring one option for small community schools, and that is the K - 12 model.”

A group of KPR administrators are going to the Bluewater District Board which operate Kindergarten to Grade 12 schools in Bruce and Grey Counties.

Hicks encouraged a meeting with superintendents Greg Ingram and Steve Girardi; Girardi, a former Norwood District Public School teacher, is responsible for providing annual reports to the board on school accommodation issues.

“To me the advantage of keeping it informal is to allow dialogue to go both ways,” Shackleton said.

“We’ve all been talking collectively about the NDHS scenario and if you include the K to 12 then it’s Havelock and Norwood Public,” committee member Andy Sharpe of Havelock said. “We would certainly like to talk to Mr. Ingram and understand a bit more on his views.”

“We really don’t have a direction on where we’re going with this year and I don’t know how we get to that direction,” Sharpe added.

The Community Friends of NDHS was formed in advance of the expected accommodation review of NDHS and Campbellford District

High School and is interested in developing ideas on programming initiatives to help the high school deal with enrollment woes; it’s also keenly interested in promoting the unique things that happen at the school like the NDHS-CDHS shared Grade 12 calculus class which NDHS students take via videoconference.

The group also brainstorms ideas about possible partnership opportunities with outside groups and organizations that would benefit the school.

Sharpe is enthusiastic about the new Kawartha Trades Skills Centre planned for Fleming College.

“That’s huge, how can we

tap into that?” Sharpe wondered.

“This high school is beyond just students, it’s about community, it’s about growth, it’s about the future,” says member Bianca Sclippa-Barrett.

Sclippa-Barrett would like to see youth involved in Friends committee.

“Ultimately the youth of this community will be affected [if something happens to the high school] and should have a buy-in to having a local school.”

The committee would like to hear from youth “to give direction, what [they] want to see in a high school, what makes it important to them.”

Kindergarten classroom changes more than just cosmetic

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - What better way to start another school year than in a classroom the students themselves design and take ownership of with their imaginations and skills.

For the students in the kindergarten room at St. Mary Catholic Elementary School here, the project to change not only the room but the way children learn began last summer.

“Our new kindergarten room really went through a transformation and we had a great deal of help from the community,” commented principal Virginia Marini.

“We were overwhelmed by the support our staff got from the community when making the improvements so we were hoping to acknowledge some of that help,” she explained. An open house was held recently to showcase just what has changed.

Two of the 31 kindergarten students told EMC what they liked about the changes they saw when they started back to school this year.

Both Leah Noble and Shylen Meier, second-year kindergarten pupils said they like the new room because it has plenty of activities for them to do.

Teacher Allison Edwards (Early Childhood Educator

too) described some of the work that was done this past summer.

“We had a bank of cubbies in the middle of the room. The board renovated by moving those over to a wall. We have a new floor and the walls were painted,” she said.

Amy Jo Doherty, ECE (Early Childhood Educator) with the kindergarten class explained, “In the summer we renovated the room cosmetically. The look is all about nature and the approach is called Reggio Emilia.”

For those who have never heard the term Reggio Emilia, it is an approach to teaching that began in Italy but never made its way into the classrooms in Canada for a while.

A celebrated approach to early childhood education Reggio Emilia is slowly making headway in Canadian public schools.

Developed in preschools in its namesake northern Italian town over several decades, the Reggio Emilia approach recognizes children as resourceful and capable and places the community and local culture at the centre of democratic, participatory learning.

“We both just felt that it was a natural way of teaching, a way of bringing nature

in,” said Edwards. The board agreed and brought the curriculum forward two years ago.

The renovations and revitalization of the kindergarten room seemed like the right time to introduce this new method of teaching.

“On the walls there are no teacher materials. Here everything that goes up on the walls is made by the students,” commented Edwards.

Both she and Amy Jo Doherty have been in the teaching field for 19 years and see this “inquiry based” learning a chance for children to create their own reality in a learning environment.

“It’s all about the engagement. The students are completely engaged,” said Edwards, explaining that for 30 minutes the day before they had sat still and listened to a builder make a presentation.

For Edwards and Doherty, their “aha” moment goes back to the first day the kids came into the classroom in September.

“We let them have free choice play and within minutes every single child was busy. Obviously the environment we hoped for had come to fruition,” said Doherty.

“Inquiry based means the students come with an idea or we observe and see what they are interested in and we help facilitate that,” she

added.

“We are a big technological room and there is a smart board that is always on along with two, three or four iPads at any given time so the kids are always using something different.”

The cost for renovating and revitalizing the room was $10,000 the majority of which came from the school

St. Mary’s Catholic School Parent Council contributed $1,000 to do the cosmetic stuff, drapes, paint etc.

Two years ago this curriculum was introduced to the schools by the board and hopes are it will be taken through all the grades even-

tually.

The community members that helped included: PVNC School Board, St. Mary Parent Council, Giant Tiger, Rona, Home Hardware, Canadian Tire, Benjamin Graphics, Number One Sewing, Beamish Carpet, Royal LePage, Village Paint and Paper, Joan Ruf, Barb Begbie and Shelley Meier.

Hastings Scouts ready to launch silent auction

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Hastings The 1st Hastings Scouts are gearing up for another silent auction to help with ongoing fund raising for this summer’s Canadian Scouting Jamboree near Sylvan Lake, Alberta.

It will cost each youth and leader about $1,500 to attend the twelfth annual Jamboree; that includes camp fees, activities, food and transportation.

This is the local Scouts’ second silent auction and the youth group is thrilled to have received the level of support it has in organizing the event which runs from December 7 to December 14 at Johnston’s Pharmacy on Front Street

East then shifting to the “Last Chance Christmas Bazaar” at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 106 on December 15 for a final day.

They are hoping silent auction bidders will drop into the Legion and do a little Christmas shopping while they peruse the bid items.

The Scouts have been doing a variety of fund raisers since May starting off with a yard sale, says leader Mary Jane Stevenson.

They would like to thank the Canada Day Parade Committee for allowing them to sell freezies on July 1 and to Todd’s Valu Mart which gave

Scouts a chance to bag groceries as an additional fund raiser.

The Hastings Waterfront Festival also came through with a generous donation, Stevenson says.

The Hastings Scouting Movement would like to thank some people from its first auction including the Royal Bank for allowing the group to launch the auction there. Others earning their appreciation are Elke’s Massage Therapy, Out of the Woods, Reg Ward Insurance, Banjo’s Restaurant, George Gordon, MJ Stevenson and Sandy McNaughton; in the

Campbellford area, Barbarian, Master Sub, Dooher’s Bakery, Sharpe’s Food Market, Rabethges, World’s Finest Chocolates, Caroline Floral Design and Lu-Anne Cummings and The Beretta Company. Stevenson says the Hastings Scouts will do more fund raising in 2013 starting off with a January 12 bottle; they encourage local residents to keep their empty bottles and make a donation to the Scouts at that time.

She hopes the community continues to support the organization and the young people who get so much out of it.

the authority to let the approval lapse if it is not completed in three years. He said they have made it clear the sewage system is only for 100 homes and they can rescind draft approval.

Jim Harrison said they have approved only 100 lots and if they increase that to 224 lots it would increase the density tremendously.

Gary Dyke suggested this be conditional to draft approval. Murphy said if they don’t approve all 224 lots it will affect the layout of the subdivision.

“It would have to be redesigned,” he said.

Paul Kyte moved for deferral, asking for a detailed report from staff later. Gary Dyke said they can bring it back at the December 17 council meeting.

Students and staff celebrate Spirit Day at CDHS

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - Whether challenging oneself with a Bouncy Castle rock climb and slide or competing against classmates in a board game, “Spirit Day” brought students and teachers together for a fun-filled afternoon at Campbellford District High School.

“There’s a lot of school spirit here. I am really enjoying,” said Carolin Christ, a Campbellford Rotary exchange student from Germany. She was enjoying making a S’more at a bonfire, one of the outdoor venues for the afternoon.

Earlier students had lined up for the “awesome” chili being served by staff.

“Spirit day means getting together as a school and just having a good time,” said Skylar Normington, a Grade 11 student who is a student activity rep with the school’s student council.

Rachel Doyle, also in Grade 11 agreed. “Spirit Day means showing support for each other and CDHS pride, showing our pride and spirit.”

Business teacher Sarah Murray, who was serving up some chili said, “It’s just a great day for everybody to get out and it’s a sense of community within the school. It’s great for the students to see all the staff involved … so hopefully it’s a fun day and everybody gets a chance to get out and mingle.”

This was the second Spirit Day at the school.

I sat down in the library and played a board game with a student. It was a lot of fun,” said Davis. Photo: Sue Dickens

“We’re beyond ecstatic”

The Donegal Fiddlers Orchestra had plenty of festive fun during their Christmas dance at the Norwood Town Hall which featured a surprise appearance by Juno award winning musician Ashley MacIsaac.

By Bill Freeman

EMC Entertainment Norwood - “We’re beyond ecstatic,” Alilee Thompson said Saturday night when it finally sank in that brilliant Canadian fiddler Ashley MacIsaac was going to sit in the with the Donegal Fiddlers Orchestra.

Thompson, one of the founders of the ten-yearold ensemble, was at the Norwood Town Hall to greet MacIsaac who had

caught their September concert in Hastings and chatted with band members afterward. Their invitation to come and join them was taken up.

“Ron [upright bass player Ron Scott] brought him back and said: ‘This guy wants to join our orchestra, his name is Ashley MacIsaac.’”

“He said he’d like to come to one of our dances,” Thompson told the Northwest EMC. “It’s a thrill for R0011790198

everybody. This is the top of the icing on the cake.

He’s a Canadian icon for sure. The talent is there.”

Thompson says it is a fitting way to finish off their tenth anniversary season and agreed it was a nice Christmas gift to their loyal fans, some travelling from as far away as Lindsay and Stirling to dance and listen.

“We couldn’t publish anything or we’d be swamped,” she said.

“People love to have the music and that’s what we play for. Ten years ago somebody said, ‘Alilee why don’t you start a group’ and look what we’ve got. Who’d ever have thought?”

World skating champ still has the moves fun. Whether they compete or not they’ll have something they can do for their lifetime and maybe at my old age I can show them you can keep doing it.”

“There are no real secrets in skating,” he says. “You put it out there and you give them the foundation and it’s up to them, their body type,

By Bill Freeman

EMC Lifestyles - Norwood - From snowman on ice to world champion.

That’s the trajectory Don Jackson followed on his way to becoming the trailblazing star of Canadian figure skating; the man who set the stage for the likes of Toller Cranston, Elvis Stojko, Kurt Browning and Brian Orser.

The three-time Canadian champion, Olympic medallist and world titleist was in Norwood last week at the On the Leading Edge development clinic attracting a record 64 skaters from 15 clubs with youngsters soaking up Jackson’s tips as well as some off-ice theatre and dance training.

Jackson’s snowman turn on ice was at his school’s outdoor carnival where the eight-yearold borrowed a pair of skates and won a prize.

“I didn’t have to do much, I just watched,” the personable 70-year-old told the Northwest EMC with a chuckle.

What Jackson really wanted to do was join the races but first he had to learn how to skate convincing his mother to register him with the Oshawa Skating Club where he appeared as the “lost child” in his first carnival.

“That gave me the inspiration to go on. I enjoyed it and had some great coaches. From there I never looked back,” he said.

“I guess I had a little bit of natural ability because I didn’t have any problem jumping. I just had a problem landing but I didn’t mind being on

and their reflexes their actions.”

Skaters today, he adds, are lucky because they watch the best in the world on television.

“In my day the only way you could see the best was by competing.”

Jackson also says skaters benefit hugely from off-ice

training; his generation spent countless hours perfecting the 68 combinations of figures that counted for 60 per cent of marks.

“Nowadays there’s so much you can learn off ice.

Skating has improved a great deal. They can stretch more which is a very important part of skating which I didn’t do.”

Hockey’s Novice LL’s put on show Former figure skating world champion and Olympic medallist Don Jackson spent a day with young skaters at the On the Leading Edge development clinic hosted by the Norwood and District Skating Club. Photo: Bill Freeman

the seat of my pants half the time.”

Jackson sorted that out winning the national junior title at 14; by 1956 he was second at the Canadian men’s championship taking his first gold three years later as well as silver at the world championships. Jackson won one more silver before taking gold in Prague in 1962 becoming the first skater to complete a triple lutz. He won Olympic bronze in 1960.

“I just hope than in my over 50 years I’ve got some information that can be said in a different way,” Jackson

said. “A good foundation is very important [and] I do a lot of little exercises that will help them in ways they may not even realize.

“I’m glad the coaches are here too so I can explain some of the things I’m doing and answer questions,” he added.

His key message is: “Always have fun skating.

“I enjoy [instructing beginners] because they try and they’re happy. It has to be

EMC Sports - It was non-stop, up and down action for the Havelock and Norwood novice Local League squads as they faced each other last week. Fans certainly got their money and hot chocolate’s worth of hockey in a tight game that the Hornets wrested away from the hometown Hawks 4 - 1.

Scoring twice for Norwood was Andrew Beriault with singles to Colby Hanbridge and Nathan Honey.

Adding an assist was Nathan Honey. Firing in the lone goal for the Hawks was Mackenzie Petherick.

riod, Campbellford struck first in the second with a goal by Alex Leclerc with assists to Ryan Crowley and Josh Adams. Former Rebels player Levi George evened the score 4:41 minutes later with an unassisted marker.

Connor Turland was the hero on the night notching the game winner on a powerplay four minutes into the third frame. Jon Samis earned an assist.

With the Rebels’ dramatic 2 - 1 win over league-leading Picton at the Campbellford-Seymour Community Centre the Empire B Junior C Hockey League standings remain as close as ever with five points separating the top four teams and Campbellford sitting in third place two points behind the Port Hope Panthers (15-7-0-1) and three behind the Pirates (15-4-0-2).

The Jets’ (13-8-0-1) win over Campbellford pulled them to within two points of the Rebels.

Campbellford showed top form in knocking off Picton in front of 208 home fans.

Without the services of captain Seamus McDougall the team dug a little deeper and got the kind of performance coach Bart Crashley had to be pleased with.

Ashley MacIsaac surprises, dazzles town hall crowd

By Bill Freeman

EMC Entertainment - Norwood - It was a Christmas treat the Donegal Fiddlers and their fans will never forget. Â Brilliantly original and massively talented fiddler Ashley MacIsaac decided to drop into the orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s December dance at the Norwood Town Hall sitting in with the 22-member group and unleashing some of the most electrifying sounds the venerable hall has ever heard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a gorgeous place; it looks like one of the nicest halls youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see in Cape Breton,â&#x20AC;? MacIsaac told the Northwest EMC before his surprise set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a couple of halls like this where you walk in and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sound and you say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is a nice atmosphere.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The unannounced visit had its origins back in September when he took in the orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert at Trinity United Church in Hastings. MacIsaac had just moved to Rice Lake and was asked if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to go to the show.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoyed it immensely. It was a very community vibe of fiddling,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Juno award winner doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do many shows and never jams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never do this sort of thing. It was only because they were friendly and everybody I spoke to after the show was so nice.â&#x20AC;?

MacIsaacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin Natalie McMaster and her husband Donell Leahy live nearby but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;have an idea that there was a fiddling community [out here]. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to learn more about it just by associating with some of the folks here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much music was up here.â&#x20AC;?

MacIsaacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest album, Crossover, has been well-received; he just wrapped up a rare tour with a couple more shows to end the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a lot of regular tours. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for ten to 15 years done more than ten shows a year, ten to 20 at most. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go out on the road a lot. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to tour

Canadian Pacific Holiday Train brings food for hungry communities

By Kate Everson and Ray Yurkowski

EMC News - Quinte West/ Brighton - The big CP Holiday Train brought more than entertainment and Santa Claus to local communities last week. Stopping in Belleville first, then Quinte West and Brighton, the train headed west on its way to raise funds for food for needy families this Christmas. It collected $3,000 for the Gleaners Food Bank in Belleville, then $3,000 for the Trenton Care and Share Food Bank and $650 in Brighton along with tons of food donations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Care and Share Food Bank has been a recipient of the CP Holiday Train food bank donations for several years,â&#x20AC;? said

Christopher Daniel, Public Affairs Officer for 8 Wing Trenton.

Drivers were invited to park at the air force museum, arena or car park along RCAF Road as the train stopped near the north entrance to the base. Colonel Sean Friday was on the train, along with Mayor John Williams and MPP Rob Milligan. A big $3,000 cheque was handed over to Care and Share Food Bank manager Al Teal, noting that this follows another $3,000 donation and food raised at the base by the ATESS squadron through toll booths. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always appreciate the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support,â&#x20AC;?

Teal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The need for food bank donations is up 23 per

1

cent.â&#x20AC;?

It was a cold and frosty Friday but children were bundled up to see Santa handing out candy, and adults enjoyed the entertainment by the Brothers DubĂŠ and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Emilyâ&#x20AC;? from Milford in Prince Edward County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to be so close to home,â&#x20AC;? Emily Fennell shouted happily to the crowd, parading around in her red pants and furry boots.

Then the train moved on to Brighton to be greeted by more fans. At the Brighton stop, more than 1,500 pounds of food and $650 in cash donations were collected along with a $1,000 gift from CP Rail.

“It’s going to be a very patriotically Canadian country record,” he said.

“I’m sort of in the creative stage right at the

moment. I’m writing a bit of a fictional story just to keep me busy while I’m out in the woods. So far it’s been nothing but nice people.

“It’s kind of feeling like home.”

MacIsaac has met and performed with a who’s who of talent and has an abiding admiration for the work of Phillip Glass.

Being around people like Glass, he says, helps you come to terms with the fact that you’re a professional musician.

The iconoclastic musician has used his rock ’n’ grunge sensibility to expand the sound of the traditional fiddle so it’s perhaps not surprising to learn that he’d love to play with AC/DC. “They’re the only band that I really, really wanted to meet but haven’t. I’d be thunderstruck.”

“Brighton is very supportive of the food bank,” she added. “They’re very, very generous.”

And despite the frigid weather, people showed up for the cause. Enough to surpass the attendance at the Trenton stop, earlier in the day.

“At first, when I got there, I thought nobody was going to show up,” said Cheer.

“But, all of a sudden, they were there. It all happened all at once.”

“People enjoyed it. There were smiles on their faces and they were swaying to the music.”

The Holiday Train was

the third local food drive in recent weeks, following efforts by the Brighton Legion and Brighton Rotary Club.

Before the recent activity, Cheer admits to being “a little worried” because, at the time, the food bank had

a lot of empty shelves.

“There is such a need out there,” she said. “Everybody thinks about it at Christmastime but, come January and February, nobody eats.”

EMC News - Madoc - It was nearly 200 years ago, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a party this weekend.

At long ago Canadian Christmas gatherings, it was the guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; presence, not their presents, that was at the core of community celebrations, and to get a sense of what Christmas used to mean, volunteers and event organizers at the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Homestead have been preparing for an upcoming seasonal celebration that might well have happened 180 years ago.

Dave Little, who is among several organizers of the event, says the Christmas season was quite different for early Canadians, like those who settled around the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill in the early decades of the 1800s. So there may be a few surprises at what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to have a Christmas Tree because trees werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in style

until the 1850s,â&#x20AC;? he says.

And there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be piles of wrapped toys or evidence of many other materialistic seasonal traditions that came many years or decades later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to reflect on what Christmas was like before then.â&#x20AC;?

So that means nothing commercial, he says, and nothing manufactured.

Gifts and decorations were handmade or found in the nearby woods, but the celebration was in the gathering and time spent together. Without television or radio, the entertainment was primarily verbal, Little explains, whether story telling or singing, and the activities were often quietly social. There will be plenty of opportunity for group carol singing as well, he says.

Little also promises hot chocolate, hot cider and Christmas cookies as well as chestnuts roasted on an open fire. And with plans

for a bonfire as well, the roasting can be done inside or out.

Located just north of the village, The Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara Mill Homestead is a recreated community featuring several buildings including farmhouse, log buildings, visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; centre and the refurbished and operable sawmill.

The covered bridge over the sawmill dam will be lit for the three-day event, which begins tomorrow.

The free event runs from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday and until 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday with entertainment beginning at about 2 p.m. And it all starts tomorrow, a long time ago.

Crowds of about 1,000 attended last year and organizers are expecting much the same this year with live entertainment provided all weekend featuring several area musicians and activities for all ages. The event is free, but donations are welcomed.

Candler said.

She said the snowmaking system is state-of-the-art, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best in Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

The ski hill will have snowmaking working before Christmas as long as the temperatures are at -3C or below. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to start making snow next week,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Last season, there were 34,000 skier visits, including 1,200 annual pass holders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to be sustainable,â&#x20AC;? Candler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need 42,000 skier visits to support the hill. Spread the word.â&#x20AC;?

One of the new programs at the hill is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;discovery programâ&#x20AC;? which includes one hour of a beginner group lesson, four hours of lift ticket and rentals with a free hot chocolate. Candler said she hopes to be the first one on skis on December 22. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick off winter together,â&#x20AC;? she said with a smile.

CDHS grad brings movie crew to town

By Sue Dickens

EMC Entertainment Campbellford - Is Campbellford the new Hollywood north?

Not quite, but it was the location of a movie shoot by a group of third-year students from Humber College who are working on their thesis.

For local residents it was an opportunity to become a star and have 15 minutes of fame, if not more.

For Tyler Schrieder, di-

ent to the production.

“Clint must travel back to his youth in order to tangle with tricky Ed and hold Rhonda’s heart forever,” said Schrieder as he got ready to call out “action!”

Intent on the production, which is for their thesis, the crew was busy getting ready for the next scene, a dream sequence and dance scene at the Legion.

Earlier they had set up at Burnbrae for a bingo scene and karaoke.

der, was a visit to the set by his “kid sister Samantha,” a student at Kent Street Public School.

“This was my sister’s first time on a film set. She got to skip school to come!

It’s important to me that she begins to learn about the business at a young age, since she has always been interested in film, just like me,” Schrieder said.

“We couldn’t have done any of this without the help of local folks such as April Faux, [Burnbrae administrator] and Karen Lloyd who also works there. It was a pleasure to meet all of the residents and they were all beyond helpful. Barb [Burlie, branch president] over at the Legion was a massive help to us as well,” he commented.

“The biggest help of all was my mom, Kim Davenport [Campbellford resident]. As usual, she went above and beyond to ensure we could make this happen. We couldn’t have done it without her. And a big thank you to all of Campbellford!”

Next April the 15-min-

ute film put together with a budget of about $9,000 (money invested by the students themselves) will be screened along with 11 others for students, families and friends of Humber College.

Schrieder plans to submit it, “to any film festival that will take it.”

rector of a romantic comedy called I Love Rhonda, it was an opportunity to come home.

A graduate of Campbellford District High School, he talked with EMC about those days when he attended drama class and performed in a couple of the school’s musicals with the guidance of Dave Noble and Michelle Noble, who continue to teach there.

He had always wanted to be an actor but, “after high school ended I realized how tough the life of an actor is,” he said so when he learned about the Film and Television Production Program at Humber he applied and was one of 100 students accepted out of the 2,000 who apply each year.

Filming in town the sets include Legion Branch 103 and Burnbrae Gardens.

With the help of local residents as “movie extras” the plot unfolds.

“It’s a story of a senior who was dumped outside his new home called the Lazy Creek Rest Home” Schrieder explained.

A cast of quirky characters awaits, “a beautiful woman named Rhonda,” and “a creepy resident named Ed” who lurks around every corner.

EMC Lifestyles - Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard of â&#x20AC;&#x153;helicopter parentsâ&#x20AC;?: the parents who hover over their children, protecting them from any possible harm or hurt feelings, well into their university days. Then there are the â&#x20AC;&#x153;snowplow parents,â&#x20AC;? the ones who run ahead of their kids and plow away any

possible obstacles, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mean teachers or a hockey coach who wants to bench them or a neighbourhood child who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play with them. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the â&#x20AC;&#x153;tiger mom,â&#x20AC;? the superdisciplined, mean parent who pushes their child to succeed at everything. An A isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good enough; you need an A plus.

Magazine reporters love analyzing all these different parenting styles. What can be overlooked, though, is that one family can have both a tiger parent and a snowplow parent. In fact, often the snowplow parent creates the tiger parent, and vice versa. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re compensating for something.

When two people have children, it is very unlikely that both individuals share

the same parenting philosophy. After all, they grew up in different families with different styles. They have their own personalities and experiences. And so they value different things.

In general, then, one parent will tend to value discipline, structure and responsibility, while the other parent will tend to value creativity, spontaneity, and affection. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put this more permissive parent on one spectrum, and the more authoritarian parent on the other.

Do this thought experiment with me: what would happen if both parents started out as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;10â&#x20AC;? on opposite scales of 1-100? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 10 on authoritarian style parenting, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 10 on permissive parenting. Both

are quite close to the centre; neither is extreme at all.

But she sees him enforcing boundaries and setting rules and being â&#x20AC;&#x153;harsh,â&#x20AC;? and she thinks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, my goodness, my poor babies will be scarred for life!â&#x20AC;?, and she becomes even more permissive. And he sees her letting the kids get away with things, as long as everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having fun, and he thinks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, my goodness, my children are going to be drug dealers,â&#x20AC;? and he becomes even harsher.

Ten years later, instead of being 10s on their respective scales theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now 50s.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve compensated so much that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become far harsher or far more permissive than they ever wanted to be. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a vicious cycle.

Dan Clost Myth (5) This is the fun one. Sap is mostly water but it also has a lot of sugar, dissolved minerals and other stuff (which I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend to know anything about except that it is terribly important) which combine to make a substance very similar to anti-freeze. The sap doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t freeze at the same temperature of water and, in fact, it takes sustained periods of deep cold before actual freezing occurs.

I can say that winter damage because of cold posed a serious safety issue to those of us who harvested apples in the old standard sized trees. The winter of 1984 brought with it a prolonged cold snap of almost a week of temperatures below -23Ë&#x161;C. The heartwood of a large limb can be seriously damaged but the only outward appearance might be a slight swelling of the limb.

During harvest, the pressure of the climber and the apples were too much of a challenge for the weakened limb and all would come a-tumblinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; down.

Mr. Alyea of Morning Star Orchards took me through the tree blocks in the early spring of 1985 to point out the â&#x20AC;&#x153;blownâ&#x20AC;? limbs. We made a lot of firewood that year.

and love. Love without discipline will wreck a kid, but so will discipline without love. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had times in our marriage where I was sure that Keith was wrecking our oldest daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-esteem, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had times when Keith thought I was letting our youngest get away with murder. We both had a point.

But kids are amazingly resilient; I have made so many mistakes in parenting, but overall they know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re loved, and they know they have security.

They have both love and structure. Perhaps if we gave our spouse (or even our ex-spouse) more grace with parenting, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d both end up closer to the middle.

And that middle is usually better for everyone.

whatever that temperature may be.

Myth (3) Well, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be a bit surprised at this. Winter air is usually drier than the other three seasons, right? According to the meteorological data from CFB Trenton weather station collected over the last 30 years, the months with the highest relative humidity are January and December, flanked by February and November.

Myth (4) Not all ground freezes equally. In our area (just a few miles north of the north shore of Lake Ontario) we can expect somewhere between 500 and 1,000 on the Freezing Index Degree Days chart which normally results in frost penetration of about 0,76 m or 29 in. Factors such as depth of soil, moisture content of soil and snow pack will alter those readings. In the past few years, anecdotal observations by my friends in the landscape construction business have shown frost to be minimal. No frost means no frozen water. As long as soil temperatures are hanging in there around 12Ë&#x161;C, the roots will be active in that zone.

can cause desiccation (drying out) of plant parts. Damage begins when moisture exiting is greater than moisture coming in. During the winter, transpiration is reduced dramatically but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop. Our job is threefold: select the right plant for the right place, give it lots of water prior to ground freeze-up (and there is still time to do this) and lessen the effects of the wind with mechanical barriers. The latter includes burlap and WiltPruf.

Myth (1) Sorry, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already here. However, you might be interested to know that the three windiest months, January, February and March, have average readings of only a few kilometres per hour (kph) above the rest of the year.

However, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt that a 20-kph zephyr in the dog days of August is much more welcome than a 20 kphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er heralding a December norâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;easter.

Myth (2) We all know that wind chill refers to how quickly our bodies lose heat even though we talk about how cold it feels. Plants donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience wind chill, they are at ambient temperature

In so doing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve pushed their spouse further away, likely to the point they each think the otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy (and they may have a point). They did all of this unwittingly, but with very good intentions. They wanted to be good parents.

Unfortunately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all too easy to assume the worst in our spouse or partner because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all too easy to assume the best in ourselves. We tend to think that our way of looking at the world is the only right one. We understand what these kids need; when others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get with the program, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re obviously off their rocker.

Compromise, though, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t such a bad thing, because letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it: kids really do need both structure

towering structures, including the tall hotel in which I stayed. I was on the 32nd floor of the Marriott Hotel, and that wasn’t even the top floor. There’s also The Eschenheim Tower, the best relic of the old town walls; the Messeturm, Trade Fair Tower; the Europe Tower, a telecommunications tower; the Henniger Tower, a grain silo built by Henniger Brewery; and the Goethe Tower built entirely of wood. Other fascinating city landmarks include the restored Goethe House (he was born here in 1749), St. Catherine’s Church (where Goethe attended services), St. Leonard Church (its construction began in the 13th century), Old Opera House (originally built in 1880), the Romerberg (an irregularly shaped square containing the Justice Fountain and the Old Town Hall), and the Archaeological Gardens (ancient Roman ruins located in Old Town). There’s also a “museum row,” where you’ll find such important establishments as Frankfurt’s Museum of Modern Art, Schirn Kunstalle (art), Stadel Museum (art), Liebighaus (sculpture collec-

tion), Senckenberg Natural History Museum, and the German Film Museum.

While strolling through the city with my Englishspeaking guide, we arrived at the old Jewish ghetto area, and we stopped at a cemetery.

It was closed in 1828, but the names of the Frankfurt Jews who died in concentration camps are mounted on small blocks along the old cemetery wall, in alphabetical order, and all are accompanied by the names of the concentration camps where they died. There are more than 12,000 names on this site, including that of Anne Frank, for she was born in Frankfurt. Some of these mounted blocks have had a pebble or small stone placed by a family member, as a way of honouring them.

On a more pleasant note, our walk also took us to the “Kleinmarkthalle,” a popular indoor vegetable, fruit and meat market. Here we saw a long lineup at a particular sausage shop, and the guide said that “this happens every day, for it’s the most popular sausage shop of them all.” We also strolled to a nearby iron pedestrian bridge, where we

Hydro One worker reflective after Hurricane Sandy

By Richard Turtle

EMC News - Stirling Mark Collins knows what it means to be powerless.

And a recent two-week stay in New York immediately after a natural disaster, he says, “puts everything into perspective.”

Collins, a Stirling resident and Hydro One worker, was one of ten area hydro employees who provided support there after a state of emergency was declared in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and one of 250 dispatched from across the province. Along with eight line workers from Belleville, he says, an additional pair of foresters from Bancroft were also part of the entourage.

Working in groups of ten, he says, crews were restringing lines to reconnect hydro customers, and clearing trees and debris left behind by the storm. The devastation, he adds, was widespread.

“It was a lot different than I expected,” he says, noting homes further inland sustained little damage while

others closer to the shoreline were ravaged by floodwaters, wind and waves. Upon arrival, power outages along the east coast were extensive, leaving millions in the dark.

The army, he notes, had a significant presence as well, being among the personnel called in to help during the emergency.

“There was six feet of water in some of the towns before the ocean receded,” Collins says. “I talked to one woman there … whose house was gone. She said, ‘My house is in the middle of the Atlantic.’”

And when the water receded, he says, it swept away property and possessions and left behind a swath of destruc-

ber 14 it was time to return to Canada.

“But after two weeks some were still out,” he says, and many more weeks of cleanup work remain. Happy to be back home, Collins reflects on a “very different experience.

“They treated us great.

They loved having the Canadians down there,” he says, but admits the sense of community among the residents seemed different south of the border.

Having been part of a similar response following the 1998 ice storm that paralyzed much of Quebec and eastern Ontario, he notes, “we know our neighbours up here. It makes a difference.”

In the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library, Mark Collins flips through a book about the ice storm in 1998 where he was among those dispatched to restore power. Collins recently returned from New York where 250 Hydro One workers spent weeks restringing lines in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

tion and plenty of sand.

Collins and several others arrived on Long Island, NY, on November 1, to be sent to the town of Melville on a wooded ridge that runs along the centre of the island.

“It’s like the Oak Hills,” Collins says of the area’s geography, but the conditions in Melville made for significantly longer and busier workdays than those at home.

“All we really did was work and sleep and eat,” he says.

Following two weeks of 16-hour shifts, he says, crews throughout the area were able to restore service to the vast majority of customers left without power since the end of October so on Novem-

“We had 200 entries,” said Donna McCormick who helped present the winners with framed prints of their photographs along with the certificates.

The winning photographs will be on display in the lobby at city hall, then later upstairs to decorate the walls along with those from previous years.

First place went to Amber Pearson for “A Beautiful Fall” photograph of a farm scene in autumn, tak-

en along Hamilton Road.

Second place went to Wendy Neumann for boats in the Fraser Park marina entitled “Out of the Fog.”

Third place was “Fall Flowers” by Allison Shaer, taken with her father somewhere in Belleville.

Honourable mentions

went to Wendy Piques for “Stockdale Mill,” Brad Phillips for “God’s Art” and Andrew Bowler for “The Munitions Factory Ruins.”

Morris â&#x20AC;&#x153;paints with liquid glassâ&#x20AC;?

By Richard Turtle

Using thin glass rods and handwrapped pure silver trees, Rebekah Morris can create a miniature scene with the help of a torch and a kiln. The process, however, can prove explosive.

EMC News - Stirling - As intricately as building a ship in a bottle, Rebekah Morris can grow a silver tree in a large glass bead. Or grow a flower in the centre of a marble.

The lampworks glass artisan, who has been turning coloured glass rods into oneof-a-kind works of art in her home studio in Corbyville, claims to have discovered her passion, in part through the help of marblemaker John Kobeuki, and has several examples on display at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like three-D painting with liquid glass,â&#x20AC;? she says of the beads, marbles and functional art pieces created using a torch and kiln.

But it can be a painstaking process where a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in-

attention can spell disaster.

Lampworking, she explains, is the melting of the rods using a flame, traditionally from an oil lamp hot enough to melt glass, to make multicoloured beads in vari-

ous sizes and shapes infused with different colours and shapes. The finished beads are typically about the size of a robinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s egg but can be significantly larger or smaller, perfectly round or gently

flattened, for decorative use, or in jewellery. Colour, shape and finish vary depending on the process and the intricacy of the design is limited only by the skills and imagination Please see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paintingâ&#x20AC;? on page B11

Model train show continues to be a hit

By Michael J Brethour

EMC News - Belleville For hundreds the annual Model Train show hosted by the Belleville and Brighton clubs is the highlight of the year.

Indeed the milling crowds totalled over 1,500 people over the course of the twoday event this past weekend that marked the 17th annual edition of the show held at Quinte Secondary School in Belleville.

The popular show is a joint venture between the two clubs, but ask any of the members why it is rated as the top show between Ottawa and Toronto and the answer will be the same: a gentle shrug of the shoulders.

Rick Potter, secretary of the Belleville Model Railroading Club and chair of the show, said this year’s event featured 29 model train exhibitors, up from last year by about five entries.

“The show is popular; we draw from a wide area and it is continuously successful, something that always makes us scratch our heads because we have no idea why. If we knew what made us so successful we would try to capital-

ize on it but we just keep most things the same,” he noted.

The show is the ideal place to seek creative ideas for building your own home model train set, picking up the pieces to begin or add to an existing module or to simply “talk shop” with others who share the same passion.

Potter noted a new addition at this year’s show was the modular display partnership between the Brighton Club and the Soper Valley Club.

“They each have a modular block that they link together to form one massive train display. Each member can put as much or little time in it to make it; whether it is simple or intricate is up to the individual model railroader,” he said.

For some like Paul Collins, who drove all the way from Newmarket to attend the show, it’s about looking for new ideas and suggestions on how to solve a construction issue.

“My son and I are building a set in our basement, so we’re here getting good ideas. Right now we are trying to build a helix, to

Painting with glass kiln takes the glass to temperatures approaching its melting point to control annealing until the internal stresses subside and the finished piece is eventually removed from the kiln.

Some of her pieces are for sale online at her Torched!

Facebook page as well as at Fusion in Belleville, The Glass Shoppe in Ottawa and Torch & Marver Glass Art Shoppe and Flameworking Studio in Port Hope. Her work is on display in the library foyer display case until the end of the year.

Rob Smith and his son Kingsley, two, watch as a model train chugs along the track in a display that was a modular partnership between the Brighton Club and the Newcastle club during last weekend’s show at Quinte Secondary School in Belleville.

Modern torches burn hotter and more efficiently, running on a mixture of propane and oxygen and also offer different flame settings. Morris has included one, appearing much like a metallic glue gun, in the display. Following the torching and creating of the bead or marble, the item is placed in a kiln to prevent thermal shock. Allowed to cool too quickly, the unique creations can suddenly crack and even shatter. Following the lampwork session, the

Collins explained that the idea was beyond his expertise so he came to the show seeking advice on how to build it. “I just started talking to people but I’m confident someone here will know how to build one,” he said.

Lang-Hastings Trail will get finishing touches

By Bill Freeman

EMC News - Hastings The 33-kilometre Hastings to Peterborough section of the Trans Canada Trail will be completed and ready for its official launch in the spring of 2013. The provincial government officially announced construction on the newly named LangHastings Trail last week.

The multiuse “greenway” recreational trail winds its way along the old CN right-of-way crossing Pe-

terborough County through Asphodel-Norwood and Otonabee South-Monaghan Townships linking the City of Peterborough with Hastings.

Greenway trails prohibit the operation of motorized vehicles other than snowmobiles with Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OSFC) permits during the winter. Along with snowmobiling, designated uses include cycling, walking, hiking, horseback rid-

ing, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

The railway was built in 1923 and is reborn in the 21st century for a new generation of users.

“It’s been a year of hard but rewarding work,” says Dr. Barry Diceman, president of the PeterboroughHastings Trans Canada Trail Association, the volunteer organization responsible for future management of the trial.

“The Lang-Hastings Trail belongs to the public and we are calling on organizations to adopt sections of the trail to help keep it in tip top shape,” Diceman said. “We encourage people who use the trail to be our eyes and ears and report problems that may arise.”

Diceman says organizations that adopt sections of the trail will be recognized with special signage.

With the completion of the Lang-Hastings Trail there will now be a 120-kilometre stretch across the region from Campbellford to Lindsay that will include kilometre markings and “way-finding” informational signage.

The project was spearheaded by Regional Tourism Organization 8 (RTO8) which invited members of the public to join a steering committee. The 12-member committee met monthly as it worked toward the No-

EMC News - Quinte West - There will be no slot parlours in this city.

“Quinte West is not included in the Zone,” Mayor John Williams told council Monday night.

He just got a letter from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission advising the city it is not in the running for a slot parlour or casino. The city had thrown its hat

“People will have to do their gambling in other municipalities,” Williams said. “It’s disappointing.”

The city would have collected revenue from some of the proceeds of gambling. There had been objections from several groups about the moral danger of more gambling in Quinte West.

Peterborough businessmen Haig Kelly and Barron Cowan were early supporters with a generous donation. The Rice Lake Snowdrifters Club also contributed toward construction costs while the national Trans Canada Trail matched those donations.

The project received early support from Peterborough businessmen Kelly and Cowan. Kelly, Cowan and the Rice Lake Snowdrifters Club contributed toward the trail construction costs and national Trans Canada Trail matched those donations.

The Snowdrifters Club has also offered support in terms of time and materials to complete the trail this year.

More than 30,000 tonnes of aggregate material has been used on the rail bed to complete the trail.

Peterborough County will pave the road shoulders on the Heritage Line from the trail to Lang Pioneer Village as an added safety feature.

The Trans Canada Trail’s “Connection 2017” goal is to connect the 23,000-kilometre trail from coast-tocoast to mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation.

The Lang-Hastings Trail will be officially opened during a special ceremony this spring.
