By Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - Barring a veto from the Hastings Prince Edward District School Board, the new elementary school now under construction in the village will be known as Stirling Public School, with much of the common area named The Carl Pit-man Centre.

The committee-ap-proved decision, which followed months of pub-lic consultation and input from students, staff and residents, came at their recent public meeting and will be formally recom-mended for board approval at the upcoming meeting on January 28.

Stirling Junior and Pri-mary School principal Ni-cola Wand explains that a steering committee re-

sponsible for the school naming was set up last fall and included teaching and non-teaching school staff members, students, administrators, board staff and community members. Following the collection of a pair of different feedback forms, a list of four names was put forward for fi nal consideration. Those in-cluded Creekside Elemen-tary, Stirling Elementary, Stirling-Rawdon Elemen-tary and Stirling Public.

The Carl Pitman Centre will encompass common areas of the school includ-ing the adjoining library, stage and gymnasium.

The offi cial naming will take effect upon board ap-proval.

Pitman’s widow Barb says the family is thrilled

By Diane Sherman EMC News - Madoc Township - Council here could not be convinced to grant the Madoc Agricul-tural Society (MAS) seven more days for motorized sport at the fairgrounds.

Council decided to allow only two more days per calendar year for the fair board to host motorized events.

In a carefully prepared presentation, MAS past president Dave Chappell ap-pealed to council to amend a bylaw which limits the board to ten days of motor-ized events.

“Last year council sug-gested to us, if all went well with motorsport 2012, con-sideration would be given to additional time in 2013.” Chappell reminded council, “We feel that last year went

well with no specifi c com-plaints or diffi culties.”

He noted, revenue of the past three years since Maguires Motocross Rac-ing created a state-of-the-art track at the fairground, MAS has gained “on aver-age … $3,000” per event, used “… solely to upgrade the fairgrounds and build-ings, and to donate to local charities”.

Council decreased the number of days for motor sports to ten days, in the 2012 season, which Chap-pell says caused a revenue drop of $5,500. “It has been diffi cult for us to continue our physical improvements to the grounds and build-ings.”

He said that owing to time constraints imposed by council, Maguires Motor-sports has eliminated ATV

competitions, reducing in-come by $3,600 for the Na-tional competition in Sep-tember, and the internation-al competition was cancelled because of these constraints.

Since the ATV division was discontinued, an ATV club asked for two weekends using the Maguire track. Chappell asked for four more days to accommodate these events. He also asked for one more day to add to the current ten used by Maguire’s dirt bike competi-tions and two days to host a winter sport (snowmobiles) on the motor track.

Chappell argued that these events are in keep-ing with recommendations of the Ontario government to encourage tourism and boost the local economy.

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling Officials from the local branch of the Royal Ca-nadian Legion visited a pair of Stirling schools this week to announce the finalists in the annual Remembrance Day poster, poetry and essay contest.

Legion Branch 228 Pres-ident George Jones was

joined by fellow Legion member and war veteran Ted Morin, who was also among the judges again for this year’s competi-tion. Local students were presented with first-, sec-ond- and third-place cer-

tificates for their achieve-ment at the branch level, with those taking the top spot moving on to zone competition. Schools in-cluded in the branch com-petition are in both Fox-boro and Stirling which

generated entries in the junior and intermediate divisions, with the Fox-boro presentations still to be made, Jones says.

In addressing students gathered in the Stirling Senior School gymna-sium, Jones called the annual contests, “one of my favourite programs at the Legion,” noting it of-fers members who sit as judges an insight into the perspective held by the youth of the day.

The competition, under the Legion’s Youth Edu-cation Program, came as a result of the national organization’s desire to become more involved in the community, helping to further promote educa-tion and awareness. And Jones admits the post-ers, poems and essays al-ways offer much food for thought.

This year’s winners, announced at the Stirling Senior School, included Hunter Matthysse (3rd, Int. b/w poster), Bronwen Park (1st Int. b/w poster), Emma Henderson (3rd Int. poem), Liam Madden (2nd Int. poem), Grace Stenvers (1st Int. poem), Rylan Miller (3rd Int. es-say) and Julia Card (1st Int. essay).

At the Stirling Junior School, officials later presented a certificate to Melody Bowry for her third-place finish in the junior colour poster cat-egory.

Stirling Public School tops committee list

his name was considered, noting with his longstand-ing commitment to educa-tion, Carl “would have be have been extremely hum-bled by that.”

Members of the Stirling and District Lions Club were pleased with the recom-mendation as well, and had earlier passed a motion that was agreed on unanimously by the club before lobbying for the school to be named after the longtime educator and community supporter.

Members of the Stirling and District Lions Club were pleased with the rec-ommendation and had earli-er passed a motion that was agreed on unanimously by the club before lobbying for the school to be named after the longtime educator and community supporter.

In the original motion, the Lions agreed “that we sub-mit Carl Pitman’s name to be considered when naming the new school in Stirling.”

Lion Dave Potts says the news will be well received by his fellow club members and pays tribute to a truly com-munity-minded individual. Pitman was a teacher, coach, mentor, Scout leader, school board trustee and held the position of chair from De-cember 2006 until his pass-ing in 2011.

“That’s really good news,” says Potts. And other Lions agree wholeheartedly.

“Nobody deserves it more,” says Lion Arlene Pollick, adding that through his work and community involvement he left a last-ing impression on many generations.

In a November letter to committee members, the Lions Club put forth Pit-man’s name noting, “it is important to remember that Carl was a lifelong resident of Stirling and dedicated his life to education, as well as countless hours of volunteer work.”

hours.He added constraints on

how his competitors set up on the fairgrounds imposed difficulties for emergency vehicles and access for par-ticipants.

“We really need to spread out as we did when we first started,” he told council, stating they had reverted to that layout for the last event.

Council discussed the matter at the end of their general meeting January 9, agreeing seven more days was excessive.

Deputy-reeve Mike Sniderhan and Councillor Loyde Blackburn agreed not all residents appreciated the noise generated by motor events

Blackburn noted he would like to see events where local residents get involved.

In conclusion council made a guarded decision to give the fair board only two more days in 2013 for mo-tor events and set hours for the events from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

EMC News - Stirling - Lo-cal police say it was a rela-tively quiet Christmas sea-son in the municipality with several routine calls, traffic enforcement and a reported break and enter.

Police logged a total of 107 calls for service between December 17, 2012, and January 7, 2013, Stirling-Rawdon Police Chief Brian Foley says, including the post-Christmas break-in at a Hoover Road residence on December 28. Constable Darcy Masterson is con-tinuing the investigation where one or more individ-uals broke in a rear door of the home, making off with a lap top, video camera and al-cohol. Anyone with further information is asked to call Constable Masterson.

Police also responded to four reported domestic dis-putes, with no charges laid.

There were six RIDE teams set up over the Christ-mas season, Foley says, stop-ping a total of 516 vehicles and issuing five provincial offences notices. There were no impaired driving charges in the Township of Stirling-Rawdon during that time. Officers did, however, attend to 11 motor vehicle colli-sions, four of which were personal injury incidents with no serious injuries. Most of the accidents were caused by slippery road con-ditions, Foley says, adding, “please slow down and drive carefully.”

Police also responded to seven unfounded 911 calls and the same number of alarms. A total of 34 traffic complaints and provincial offences tickets were re-ported, including a charge of passing a school bus with the signals flashing.

EMC Entertainment - Tweed - The Tweed Tribute to Elvis Festival (TTEF) com-mittee began meeting right after the last festival was over and have now settled on this year’s theme which will be to celebrate Elvis’ Vegas years.

First Vice Chairperson Jim Keniston has been involved in the festival from the be-

EMC Entertainment - The very popular Marmora Crowe Valley Lions Club jam sessions, which take place on the second Sunday of the month from October through to May, continue to attract both performers and an appreciative audience, which on January 13 numbered 150. Proceeds from this and other Lions activities resulted

Elvis Tribute Festival to be named “Viva Tweed”ginning and had this to say about the new theme.

“We believe Viva Tweed has the character people will recognize and under-stand. The executive wants the main street merchants to know how much we have appreciated the support over the fi rst two years and our guests have really appreci-ated their efforts. For those eager to avenge losses or re-peat as winners, we will once again be having the store front decorating contest. With the Viva Tweed theme we recognize it may be a lit-tle more challenging but that will bring out the best in each merchant’s imagination.”

The TTEF committee has a number of new members

in Corey Keniston as so-cial media manager, Sylvain Bertrand and Beth Power as Elvis Tribute Artist man-ager along with Director of the Tweed Music Festivals (TMF) incorporated Liz Van Dijk.

Jim said that 2013 ticket prices will increase this year by $5.

“The advance ticket price will be $50 for a weekend pass until July 1 when the price will go to $55. In addi-tion, unlike last year, we will be selling day passes in ad-vance. We have not come up with a plan on how we will track these tickets but that should be organized in the coming weeks; those tickets will stay at $25 per day for

camping will be available but spaces are limited. The price for camping will also jump from $30 to $40 to help off-set the cost of added portable toilets for the camping area. Camp sites did sell out last year well in advance and can be booked through the web site below.

TTEF founder Kathy Scott has stepped down as festival chair and TMF president for family reasons, leaving two vacancies that will have to be fi lled. The position of chair will be changed to Festival Executive Manager and will be fi lled internally with one of the managers on the board. The position of president will be fi lled with a present director.

Asked about the belt-tightening the festival may have to do Jim said, “The TTEF did not realize the same revenues as the fi rst year; our guests told us it was sim-ply too hot. Our daily num-bers were not what we hoped even though our weekend pass sales tripled what they

were the previous year. We don’t have the money we had so we are trimming in specifi c areas. Having said that, we purchased a lot of the infrastructure material last year and will not have to purchase that this year, sav-ing us money.”

Bonnie Jussila, TTEF fund-ing manager, said there is an application in to Celebrate Ontario for $20,000 and they are awaiting a response. She also said they will be looking to the OLG for a grant.

CJBQ’s Freddy Vette has been confi rmed as the emcee for the fi nal day on Sunday. Tickets are now available at Bush Furniture in Tweed and this year’s festival will be August 23, 24 and 25.

The web site at <www.tweedelvisfestival.ca> will be updated in the coming weeks and will have tickets avail-able at that time.

TTEF volunteers are still needed and those interest-ed may contact Carolynne Campbell at 613-478-6178.

in question weren’t over for very long. Last Friday France sent a squadron of fi ghter-bombers to the West African country to stop the Islamist fi ghters from taking the capital.

“We are making air raids the whole time,” said French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian. “They are going on now. They will go on tonight. They will go on tomorrow.” Some 550 French combat troops are on the ground already, with up to 2,500 more to follow. Con-tingents of soldiers from the neighbouring countries of Nigeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ni-ger and Togo are scheduled to arrive as early as next week. It has turned into a real war.

It has also turned into a Western-run war in a Muslim country, despite the discourag-ing precedents of Afghanistan and Iraq. The government of Mali has asked for French help, and on Monday the United Nations Security Council unanimously supported France’s military intervention. The army of Mali, such as it is, will theoretically be in charge of the war—but everybody knows that the Malian army is useless.

In fact, the presence of Mali’s army at the front is usually counter-productive, as it is brutal, militarily incompetent, and prone to panic fl ight. The other African armies are of variable quality, but it is obviously French troops, and especially French air power, that will decide the outcome of the war. So has France bitten off more than it can chew? Is this going to end up like Afghanistan and Iraq?

The supporters of the war prefer to com-pare it with last year’s Western military in-tervention in Libya, another French initiative that was decided over one weekend. They like that analogy better because the Libyan inter-vention ended tolerably well, with the over-throw of the dictator, a democratically elected government, and no Western casualties. But the differences between Libya and Mali are greater than the similarities.

In Libya the rebels were trying to rid the country of Muammar Gaddafi , a loony, friendless dictator, and create a democratic future. The decision to intervene was made in Paris in only two hectic days, when it ap-peared that Gaddafi ’s mercenary troops were about to overrun Benghazi and massacre the

rebels. NATO served as the rebel air force, but no Western troops fought on the ground. And it worked.

With Mali, once again it was decided in a couple of days, and once again France has taken the lead. Once again Britain is send-ing some help as well (transport aircraft, but no troops or combat aircraft), and the United States is providing discreet logistical support. (U.S. Air Force tankers refuelled the French fi ghters on their way to Mali.) But that’s where the similarities end.

The West is supporting the government, not the rebels, in Mali. That government, be-hind a fl imsy civilian facade, is controlled by the same thugs in uniform whose military coup last March, just one month before the scheduled democratic election, created the chaos that let the Islamist rebels conquer the northern half of the country. The young of-fi cers who now run the country are ignorant and violent, and having them on your side is not an asset.

The Islamist rebels are fanatical, intoler-ant, and violent, but they are well armed (a lot of advanced infantry weapons came on the market when Gaddafi ’s regime collapsed) and they appear to be well trained. They have almost no popular support in 90-per cent-Muslim Mali, whose version of Islam is much more moderate, but they have terrifi ed the population of the north into submission or fl ight.

The insurgents are not short of money, either, as they receive secret subsidies from several Arab monarchies in the Gulf that have persuaded themselves, strangely, that subsidising radical Islamist movements in the far-fl ung fringes of the Muslim world is a good way to avoid being overthrown by radi-cal Islamists at home. They are formidable opponents, and the war to free northern Mali may be long and hard.

Until recently the rebels seemed to be con-fi ned to Mali’s desert north, but last week they began to advance into southern Mali, where nine-tenths of the country’s 14 million people live. The Malian army collapsed, and West-ern intelligence sources estimated that the Islamists would capture the capital, Bamako, within two days. That would effectively give them control of the entire country.

Mali has long, unguarded borders with seven other African countries, and it is only 3,000 kilometres (2,000 miles) from France. So President Hollande ordered immediate military intervention to stop the Islamist advance, and we’ll all worry about the long-term consequences later. The next Western war against Islamist extremists has already started, and the question is whether it will end up like Afghanistan.

Nobody would like to know the answer to that more than the French. Except, of course, the Malians.

By Lewis ZandbergenEMC Editorial - It’s unbelievable! I can fi nally see the top of my desk again!

Of course, that clean vista, fi rst spotted about three decades ago, may not last very long. You see most of the stuff that usu-ally clutters the top of my desk is packed away to be moved. Yup, we’re moving. After spending more than two-thirds of my life in a place my heart will really never leave, Denise and I are reluctantly pulling up stakes.

There comes a time in your life when you do what you want to do rather than doing what you have to do. That time has come for us. We wanted to trade the hustle and bustle (Yeah, we have hustle and bustle in Stirling; we don’t roll up the sidewalks at dusk anymore.) of town life for a home away from it all. Away from the constant stream of traffi c on our street (especially those annoying semi trucks and double tractor trailers fi lled with logs) and just the general all-round noise. It won’t come as earth-shattering news to neighbours who could probably tell from the hundreds of boxes we’ve been hauling in from the various LCBO outlets around us that something involving the use of cardboard boxes was on hand. On several occasions in Tweed and Madoc we’ve been jokingly asked as we loaded boxes: “Can we come to your party?”

No, we haven’t lost our minds, nor are we becoming card-board hoarders; we’re becoming country mice. “At your time of life?” you may ask. Yeah, at our stage in life; what of it.

After looking for a big old brick house in Stirling and Raw-don Township for the last three or four years, we’ve fi nally purchased a two-storey brick Victorian on a quiet country road (it isn’t even paved!) in the serene almost Canadian Shield countryside north of Madoc; birds chirping, squirrels scratchily scampering up trees and the occasional lowing of cattle will be the only “noises” we’ll hear; ah, the peacefulness of country life. And nope, no more “North of Seven” jokes for me.

But moving is always a hassle; we have probably packed well over 350 boxes already and we’re still not quite fi nished; I think the grand total will likely exceed 500. The majority of those are small ones, of course, fi lled with my books; pack-ing up a library is hard work. Sure we could have gone with larger boxes and only packed half as many, but we like the guys who are moving us and don’t want them all to suffer hernias and aching backs. And there’s no way I’m hauling all the stuff we’ve accumulated in our 1,200-square-foot abode on my little trailer and lining the pockets of PetroCan share-holders to get us moved. Anyway, we’ll still have a few trips to make with items we want to ensure are safe, things we’d just rather move ourselves.

Adjusting to country life will be interesting. We’ve already been warned about a few things like the absolute quiet, the work involved stoking a wood-burning furnace, the wildlife, the winter storms; some folks say we won’t fi nd it easy to live “out in the boonies.” We’ll be trading our very reliable Stirling water supply for a well, the ploughed road for a road that might be way down on the list to be cleared of snow in January (although I have spotted a couple of school buses near us, so maybe it won’t be that bad) and the convenience of a two-minute jaunt to a local Mac’s if we run out of bread or milk. We’ll defi nitely have to check with home if we’re com-ing in from the “big city” for the day.

There’s that and then there’s the huge headache of switch-ing our phones and the Internet and making sure we have power in the “new” house. “Ma” and the “One” are defi -nitely lacking in the “service” aspect of their corporations; it’s no wonder people are switching to cell phones and installing solar power.

Now, we’re very clean and neat people; but we don’t obsess over a few things being out of place, nor do we spend hours every week washing out cupboards; laundry gets done after 7 p.m. and on weekends according to the dictates of the “One.” But I’m amazed at the warrens of dust bunnies we’ve found hiding in usually unreachable places. Then there are all those bits and pieces you’d fi led away some years ago which mi-raculously have survived, only to be boxed; who knows when we’ll see those again.

I’ve spent almost 23 years in this house; it’s been the scene of lots of hard work, plenty of happiness and even sorrow. And the house has grown through the years. When we purchased it back in 1990 it was basically a 1960s bungalow. We’ve added 400 square feet; built a small barn and installed a fenced-in pool and carport. I will miss that pool; there’s no better way to cool off on those days when the temperatures soar to the mid-thirties.

After spending four decades in Stirling, leaving will be hard to do. There’s a defi nite tug on our heart strings—especially mine. I know the town. As a kid I delivered newspapers up and down most of its streets, had my fi rst “job” in Johnson’s Bak-ery, ran my homemade go-cart down Stapley’s hill, tobog-ganed down Shea’s hill, caught mudcats in the creek. I came back from time to time when we lived in Belleville and then moved back when I became the House Husband. There’s no better place to raise kids. But as I said, it’s time to do what we want to do, not have to do; and you never know—we may be back some day.

Will we miss Stirling? Damn straight.

Dear Editor,Re: letter from Mr. Pea-

cock.Nowhere in my letter do

I express the idea that Chi-nese workers are sub-stan-dard, nor have I ever, to my knowledge, ever demeaned the abilities of working men and women from any other country. My concern is with them being under-paid. Simply using import-ed temporary foreign work-ers at a half to a third the going rate for this danger-ous work is symptomatic of the views of our present government to maximize offshore companies’ profi ts at the expense of Canadian workers and the environ-ment. It also greatly deval-ues our non-renewable re-sources, reduces income tax paid, which otherwise help support our healthcare, ed-

ucation, roads etc.Mr. Peacock knows full

well how the Chinese work-ers building the railroad were treated, if one fell car-rying nitro, chuck the body off to the side and go get another. Only because of labour organizing to gain some semblance of safety regulations, along with the hard-fought healthcare system we currently value, do we have what we do. I should also mention the battles fought by some pro-vincial governments, Sas-katchewan’s Tommy Doug-las’ taking the lead.

It is inconceivable to me that if we did not yet have a national healthcare pro-gram, it could ever happen under this government. Protect what you have lest it soon be gone.

In an offi cial report of

the U.S. National Research Council, Americans are sicker and die younger than people in other wealthy na-tions; highest infant mor-tality, second highest death rate from heart disease, highest rate of obesity and type II diabetes and so on.

Another note on resource extraction shows that for every one resource job gained since 2007 another 15 jobs in manufacturing have been lost, 45 per cent of those in Ontario. Actual numbers are 11,700 gained and 182,900 lost.

The pure undiluted pop-pycock from Joe Oliver that Canada’s expected $650 bil-lion in investment in the resource sector during the next decade, will trans-late into waves of jobs and an increase in income for workers, is laughable.

One last topic, in Decem-ber 2011, the energy sec-tor sent a letter to Joe Oli-ver and Peter Kent. They asked for alterations to six laws which were imped-ing “their ability to work”: National Energy Board Act; Canadian Environmental Assessment Act; Fisheries Act; Species at Risk Act; Migratory Birds Conven-tion Act.

Proving without any shadow of doubt who runs this country, the Harper re-gime gutted three of these in its fi rst Omnibus Bud-get bill on April 26, 2012, and the other three in its second Omnibus Budget Bill in October 2012. Look up “Energy industry letter suggested environmental law changes” CBC January 9.

Gord Stickwood has organized a new jam session in Tweed at the Hungerford Hall and is seen here tuning up and getting ready for musicians to show up and play.

New jam session at the Hungerford HallEMC Entertainment - Tweed - Tweed now has a new jam session that started Thursday, January 10, and will continue ev-ery other Thursday at the Hungerford Hall located across the street from the

Tweed Valu Mart. If the first turnout is any indica-tion of how the jam will grow, then country music lovers are in for a treat as at least 12 players showed up when the jam started and more were coming

through the doors with guitar cases in hand. They had fiddles, banjos, dobros and lots of guitars as well as piano and vocals.

Gord Stickwood is a well known singer and guitarist in the Tweed area and said

they started the jam ses-sions every other Wednes-day in a friend’s kitchen on Harmony Road but the number of players has grown to the point where they needed a larger alter-native place to play.

“What we want to do is have a drop-in for coffee and songs. At present there is no charge to come and listen and if we get enough people coming, we may ask people to make a donation toward the upkeep of the hall. We are open to any-one who wants to come and play at any level and any age.”

Gord said he has an ulte-rior motive.

“With the Lions run-ning the Music in the Park all summer and the music at the White Building one Friday each month, we are always looking for talented people to fill those ven-ues.”

Gord has been looking after the hall for over ten

years as a member of the Lions Club of Tweed who lease the hall from the mu-nicipality.

“The Hungerford Hall has to support itself; no money comes out of the Lions Club to support the hall so we pay for the hall through the rentals. So far we have managed to pay the bills and hope to be able to continue. Major repairs like the roof that was redone two years ago as well as making the building wheel chair accessible are looked after by the municipality who own the building.

Gord said the jam ses-sions will go until the spring and anyone wanting more information can call him at 613-478-5867.

EMC Lifestyles - The first local Diners’ Club of the year, hosted by Community Care for Central Hastings, attracted 60 seniors to the community centre on January 9. A midday hot hamburger meal, complete with fried onions and mashed potatoes, topped off with banana/sour cream cake and ice cream was enjoyed by all. Music was an integral part of the fun, with the Country Travellers providing a range of tunes both before and after the meal, including such well known oldies as Five Foot Two and Under Your Spell Again. Lyle and Marie Bright, along with the cook, Liane Holmes, put their energy into mashing 30 pounds of potatoes for the occasion. Photo: Judy Backus

YOUR GUIDE TO

For decades the month of June held fi rm as the most popular month for weddings. But statistics now indicate that there may be shifting

preferences in the time of the year for marriages. July and August are now the most popular months for tying the knot in the United States.

September and October have also gained momentum as premier months. Explanations for this shift vary, but it may

have something to do with changing weather patterns and warmer weather now arriving

later in the season than in the past. Also, getting married later in the year may make

it easier for couples to secure their fi rst

choice of wedding venues.

EMC News - Tweed - At the Tweed Historical Soci-ety annual general meet-ing, Heritage Centre cura-tor Evan Morton said in his report that for the fi rst time in 15 years donations to the Heritage Centre fell below $10,000.

“I have looked at a num-ber of studies,” said Evan, “And they indicate that we are not alone; donations are down for local charitable organizations. People are saying, what is my money going to do and if they can’t see a direct result they are not donating. This year we had over $10,000 through memoriams given by three past volunteers and al-though it is a great loss to us to have these people pass, the money left to the Heritage Centre is greatly appreciated. Organizations like the Canadian Can-cer Society and Heart and Stroke Foundation, while they are very valuable, have teams of paid em-ployees who raise millions of dollars. Our hope is that when people reach the end of their lives they would consider making a donation to a local organization.”

In the rest of his report Evan went on to thank the many volunteers for their hard work in 2012, no-tably Dutch Vermeer for his hard work on the new military display, Sylvia and Gerry Heaysman for their

After reports were given by outgoing president Ellen Williams and the treasurer, an attempt was made to in-stall new directors and a new president. The meeting had to be adjourned as a result of confusion around the corpo-rate bylaws and whether a vote needed to be held for new directors among paid members or whether direc-tors could be appointed by

the executive. It was decided that a meeting of the ex-ecutive be held the follow-ing day and an emergency meeting of the Historical Society members be held January 15 at which time a new board would be formed and a new president elected by the new directors.

The board of the Histori-cal Society must have eight directors and one president. At present there are just enough members stepping up to fi ll these director po-sitions.

photos, Liz Vandijk and the volunteer artists from Moira Place for two large paintings, Maril Swan for the Elvis exhibition, Sha-ron Rashotte and Patricia Whalen for the schools children’s exhibit and Su-zanne Cavers for the Tweed and Area Art Tour to name a few.

This year Evan said that approximately 5,600 people toured through the Heri-tage Centre and he said a large number of people researching genealogy use the centre.

“We get a lot of inquiries from people using comput-ers who don’t understand why we have to charge money for people who want to do research; they seem to think that we are government funded but we are not.”

It should be noted that plans to fi x the Heritage Centre roof, paint, as well as celebrate the 25th an-niversary of the Historical society among other things will cost approximately $21,000 which will all have to be raised through lot-teries, memberships, and fund raisers. An application is in to the Parrott Foun-dation for $12,500 but as Evan said, “You can apply for grants, it does not mean you will get them. We were turned down by the Tril-lium Foundation earlier in the year and if the Par-rott Foundation grant does not come through we will have to raise that money as well.”

On that note Tweed Eco-nomic Development Offi cer Joey Walsh, who was pres-ent at the AGM, said he was there to inform the Histori-cal Society that he would

Hogfest on the wayBy Richard TurtleEMC events - Stirling - With a January thaw in the past, Hogfest organizers are hoping for a slightly chillier reception so area hockey teams can take to

the ice on the Stirling Mill Pond.

Stirling and District Lions Club fund-raising chair Ruth Potts says fi-nal plans are under way with the first weekend in February shaping up to be a busy one. And the pre-spring celebration is very much about community, she says.

“What’s really nice about it is all the different groups who get involved,” she says of the growing list of Hogfest activities.

And while the toi-let bowl races have been shelved this year, there will be plenty of other en-tertainment and activities beginning Friday, Febru-ary 1, with chicken dinner at the Legion. Also includ-ed on the schedule are the St. Paul’s AOTS Breakfast, Storytime at the library, Chili Fest at the Commu-nity Pentecostal Church, a Saturday afternoon Meat Roll at the Legion and Sat-urday night concert and dance at the Lions Hall featuring Kenny Kovach and Heartland Country.

And there is still room for more, Potts says, en-couraging more communi-ty groups to get involved. “We have two new groups starting this year,” she

EMC News - Marmora - Last Wednesday Kathleen Merriman went down to take some pictures on the

Crowe River behind her house. She spotted some-thing in the water.

“At first I thought it was an otter on the ice but went closer to get a shot and saw it was a dog. I called Pete, a fireman in town, and asked if there was an animal rescue and he asked why. I told him about the dog through the ice.”

Firefighters arrived a little later. The home own-ers were cautioned not to enter the water to try and save the animal.

“So we waited for them and they pulled the dog out.”

Peter Hamilton and Jeff Bonter, with Mike Levi as backup, suited up and worked their way over to the dog. They pulled her out and wrapped her in a blanket so she wouldn’t get hypothermia.

Fire chief Tony Brown-son said the dog, named Lexi, was an eight-month-old female. The rescue crew warmed the dog up and took her to a Belleville animal hospital in the back of the emergency van.

One of the vets at the hospital recognized the dog’s name and contacted the owners who drove to Belleville and picked her up.

RURAL REPORT

Lions Club looking forward to Hogfest

EMC Events - Marmora and Lake - With the 35th edition of Marmora SnoFest only a short time away, the entire region is starting to buzz about Canada’s longest running sled dog race series. Banners are up all over town thanks to the municipality’s crew, and buttons are avail-able at various Marmora and Lake businesses for $4.

The early bird draw was made January 7 for $150, and the winning button, #83, was sold at Bailey’s Cafe in downtown Marmora. If you missed your chance don’t worry, there is another draw coming up after SnoFest for $100.

This year’s edition of Marmora’s Got Talent will be taking place Friday, Feb-ruary 1, at 7 p.m. above the

arena. As always, everyone is asked to come out and cheer on our local talent. Top prize for this year is $150 in the adult category, and anyone wishing to pre-register should contact Lu-cas Wales at 613-391-4108. Those wishing to register on February 1 must do so at the arena between 5:15 and 6:30 p.m.

If you’re looking to get your hands on some great local products you need not look far, as SnoFest has you covered. Just log onto <http://bit.ly/UDV8f6> on-line and make a bid on their silent auction. Products are being updated all the time so keep checking back fre-quently for new additions. While you’re online you may also want to check out

their web site <www.marm-orasnofest.ca> and look for them on Facebook for day-by-day updates on what is happening at SnoFest.

Of course, no event would be able to maintain its high level of excellence without some tremendous support from the business community. As of today, over 25 businesses and or-ganizations have sponsored SnoFest. Gold level sponsors include the Crowe Valley Lions Club and Northland Power. The Lions Club is sponsoring the 40-mile race Saturday, February 2, and Northland Power the 25-mile race on Sunday, Febru-ary 3.

With the new title of Hastings County “Event of the Year” spread across the

2013 program guide (avail-able in local businesses now) SnoFest is ready to move from community event, to a winter tourism driver for the Marmora and Lake com-munity.

“We’ve built some strong working partnerships this year with Best Western in Belleville and Ontario High-lands to move into the tour-ism market,” says event co-ordinator Lucas Wales. “The entire team behind SnoFest deserves a lot of praise for turning this weekend into Hastings County Event of the Year. I’m looking for-ward to seeing everyone out next month!”

SnoFest is February 1, 2 and 3 in Marmora and Lake.

Talent show, silent auction, and big time entertainment at SnoFest

Continued from page 14says of planned activities dur-ing the weekend, “and they each operate their own fund

raisers.” It’s a win-win situa-tion, she says.

Included this year for the second time is the Stirling

Millpond Hockey Tourna-ment, scheduled throughout the day on February 2. Tour-nament co-ordinator Dave

Brandt says response has already been excellent, with 12 teams now registered, and organizers are simply waiting for some colder weather.

“From the long-range forecast it looks pretty good,” says Brandt of the outdoor ice that will have to reach required thickness before the tournament gets the go-ahead. “We’ve still got three weeks,” he said during the re-cent thaw that turned much of the mill pond ice back to water.

For further details about the tournament, or to register a team, contact Dave Brandt at 613-395-1482.

Across the road from the mill pond tournament, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church will be hosting its an-nual Fish Fry, with seatings at 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30 p.m.

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Madoc - Council stopped short of appointing an integrity com-missioner, but have instead opted to take a “first step” in improving operational pro-cedures followed by council.

After hearing a delegation by resident Bob Hadley, who strongly suggested the ap-pointment of a watchdog to ensure proper procedures are always followed, a motion by Shelby Kramp-Neuman to appoint an integrity com-missioner was deferred in favour of a motion by Tom Simpson to hold an informa-tion session, outlining the roles and responsibilities of council and staff, before con-sidering an appointment.

Of the current situation, Kramp-Neuman noted, “mismanagement is happen-ing every day … we’re two

years in and this needs to be addressed.”

Councilor Larry Mitz concurred with Simpson, noting, “… most of us know the difference between right and wrong … I don’t think we need an integrity com-missioner at this time.”

The public information session will be held at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, January 23, in council chambers.

Councillor Larry Mitz is still trying to sort out the re-cycling.

At the most recent meet-ing of council, Mitz ad-dressed the gallery in a plea for help, citing a recent issue of the EMC “where I was not misquoted and my com-ments were not taken out of context.”

But Mitz hoped to clarify the matter of exactly what recyclables are winding up in

landfill sites, with the hopes of finding a workable solu-tion. “We have two different systems here,” he says, not-ing the household program works extremely well. “But we also have a public system … with large receptacles,” where garbage and recycla-bles inevitably get mixed to-gether. “Who’s going to sort that out?”

“It’s been a problem to 20 years,” he says, “and we haven’t solved it yet.” But there must be an answer somewhere, he says.

“Singly we do a good job … but I’m appealing to the public [to find a solution].” At the moment, unlike blue boxes set curbside by busi-nesses and residents, most of what is collected in public recycling receptacles in the township, is destined for landfill.

Council considers its own integrity

What follows is one story - in a series of stories- that celebrates entrepreneurial success – success made possible not only by the hard work of the business owner, but also by the availability of financing made possible by the Canadian Youth Business Foundation, a program administered locally by Trenval Business Development Corporation.

The striking designs, the attention to detail and the finishing touches captured on a fashion runway thread their way through every facet of Runway Bridal in Belleville. And that concern to deliver a full bodied customer experience is the only way Brooke Miller, owner of Runway Bridal, would have it.

Brooke purchased the business a year ago and loves being self-employed. “It’s been a very positive experience, being young and having this responsibility - I find it very

rewarding.” Runway Bridal, located at

397 Front Street in Belleville, is a one-stop shop for brides and grooms. Not only does Brooke stock the current trends, her variety pleases every taste, every budget and even every style of wedding from beachside to traditional. She keeps a fantastic line of high quality tuxedos and mens wear, plus bridesmaids’ gowns available in an array of colours, fabrics, lengths and styles. Brooke has assembled a full collection of bridal accessories including veils, headpieces, jewelry, shoes, jackets, belts and broaches. From head to toe, for the entire wedding party, Runway Bridal ensures that every detail of the special day is perfect.

There is even an in-house florist that creates the most striking bouquets, corsages and

centerpieces. Hair, invitations, wedding services can all be accessed through Runway Bridal’s selected team of experienced professionals.

Brooke is a Loyalist College (Business Administration) and St. Lawrence College

(Marketing) grad, but she had no prior experience in the bridal industry or in running her own business. So she looked to local resources for guidance and was directed to Trenval Business Development Corporation.

“Amber Darling, Trenval’s Loans Officer, read my original business plan thoroughly, made suggestions and took a real interest in my business.” Amber worked with Brooke in several ways to ensure she would have the funding necessary to purchase the business. One of those funding sources was the Canadian Youth Business Foundation. As the CYBF’s Community Partner, Trenval was able to process Brooke’s application for a CYBF loan – a loan that offers extremely attractive terms and conditions to young entrepreneurs like her. In addition to the financing support, the CYBF Program also includes mentorship, a valuable resource for any business start-up. “Sue Chartrand is my mentor, and I have definitely benefitted from her supportive guidance”, says

Brooke.Brooke Miller has created a

boutique shopping experience in an elegant atmosphere. Her desire to ‘wow’ her clients is evident. “My greatest moments are when a bride emails me a thank you note saying that she truly had a great time at Runway Bridal.”

If you have a business idea and need financial support, CYBF and Trenval may be able to help. Contact Amber Darling at 613- 961-7999 or email [email protected]

The Canadian Youth Business Foundation is a national organization dedicated to growing Canada’s economy one young entrepreneur at a time. The CYBF program helps youth aged 18 – 39 with pre-launch coaching, business resources, start-up financing and on-going mentoring.

By Richard TurtleEMC Sports - Stirling - At 12 years old, Emily Paris is the youngest member of the Stirling Curling Club’s ladies’ league and a rookie on the Parker team.

The weekly evenings of competition pit her against

adults, many of whom are decades older and far more experienced on the pebbled ice, but she barely bristles at the thought. It could be an intimidating experience for many, but Emily has a little extra family support when she steps on the ice. So she

Parker rink features three generations

The Stirling Curling Club’s Parker rink includes (from left) Emily Paris, her grandmother Gail Parker, aunt Lyndsay Kerik and mom Jodie Paris. The ladies’ rink added a third generation to its ranks this season.

Gail Parker (foreground) watches as teammates (from left) Emily Paris, Jodie Paris and Lyndsay Kerik approach with their rock. The Parker rink in the Stirling Curling Club’s ladies’ league is made up of three generations of curlers.

has no reservations about taking her place in the hack either, and admits she comes by the sport honestly.

The Parker rink is very much a family affair, cap-tained by grandmother Gail Parker and also including her daughters Lyndsay Kerik and Jodie Paris. And Gail freely admits to being the fam-ily trendsetter. A longtime curler, the Belleville resident and retiree has been team-ing up with her daughters for the past fi ve years, trav-elling north to Stirling for their weekly competitions. And this year they added to their ranks with a third gen-eration when Emily picked up her broom and swept her way into the lineup. New to

the sport, the Holy Rosary student fi t in immediately and has every intention of returning next season. Her teammates concur.

And while they hail from Belleville and Prince Edward County, they all say the drive to the Stirling Curling Club is well worth it.

“We love Stirling,” says Gail, noting the women all began their curling with the club here. And, she adds, it combines an evening of ex-ercise with a little friendly competition and social inter-action. And on Thursdays it puts Emily on the ice along-side her mother, her grand-mother and her aunt.

For Gail, it’s one of three weekly trips to the curling

rink, but she admits there is something very special about this year’s lineup on the Thurs-day night Parker team.

ENTERTAINMENT

EMC News - Tweed - “Milling about in Tweed” is the name of the newest exhibit at the Tweed Heri-tage Centre staged by cura-tor Evan Morton. There is a large assortment of paint-ings, photos and other ar-tefacts of the old feed/grist mill that burned down in 2002 marking 2012 as the tenth anniversary of the fire.

“We are trying to incor-porate in the gallery local events and how people have reacted to them through their paintings and photos,” said Evan, who proceeded to talk about where the 14 paintings he has on display come from. Of the paintings

hung in the gallery, eight have been donated to the Heritage Centre.

“Each painting has a story like the pen and ink drawings of Dale Ilko, who came to the door one day last summer with an excel-lent drawing that he did in 1977 when he was 17.”

Evan talked about the colourful history of the mill which was built in 1835 by Alan Munroe. The original mill was a one-storey wood-frame building which had a saw mill on the north side.

“That was very typical of rural communities to have the saw mill and grist mill.”

The mill was then pur-chased by Fisher and Hunt-

EMC News - Stirling - Canadian children’s author and illustrator Peggy Col-lins is coming to town with a few new stories and some very early sketches.

Stirling-Rawdon Public Library Children’s Librar-ian Jaye Bannon recently announced the library will be hosting its seventh an-nual Family Literacy Day celebration with a visit from the popular writer to the Eugene Burrell Hall above the Stirling theatre. The library will be wel-coming Collins on Satur-day January 26, at 10:30 a.m. to share her love of writing and drawing with children and young fami-lies, Bannon says.

Collins, who lives in the Napanee area, is a gradu-ate of the Sheridan College Interpretive Illustration program and is the author of In the Garden and In the Snow, both listed in the top books for children by the Canadian Children’s Book Centre in 2010. She has also illustrated over 20 picture books and has done illustration work for magazines such as Moth-ering, Ladybug, Babybug and New Moon.

“It should be really neat,” says Bannon, as the author has agreed to bring along some pictures she drew as a youngster. Along with some storytelling and some instruction in illus-tration, Bannon says, Col-lins is expected to offer a glimpse at one artist’s de-velopment.

“Milling About in Tweed” is the name of a new Tweed Heritage Centre exhibit of the old grist mill and curator Evan Morton is seen with a painting by Olga Szaranski and a display of photos of the fire that burned the mill down in 2002.

Milling about in Tweeder who Evan said held a lot of properties in Lower and Upper Canada. They had the mill from 1839 to 1850 and when they had financial problems, the mill was sold to the Wallbridges, a promi-nent Belleville family. The Wallbridge family flipped the property to James Jamei-son.

It was Jameison who then had the plans for the town of Tweed laid out and named the town after the Scottish river Tweed near where he was born. Evan said that what is now the House of Boutiques in Tweed was the original mill house.

Evan went on to say that the mill in Tweed burned down three times, the first being January 1892. Back then the mill property was selling for $12,000. “When the mill was rebuilt they added a big grain elevator and rebuilt the grist mill as well as the saw mill. There was also a cheese factory near the mill site.”

The next fire took place in 1931 and Evan said that fire burned for several days. The mill was rebuilt the next year and that building was the one that burned for the final time in 2002. In all the mill had eight mill opera-tors/owners over the years.

The mill produced hydro-electricity but Evan added

that up the river from the mill, Tweed had a hydro electric plant that fed Tweed enough power for the town.

“We need to get back to generating more power with water instead of fossil fuels. The vision for the future is based on lessons learned from the past. We devel-oped Tweed hydroelectric at the turn of the century but unlike today, lights were not on all night and people knew how to conserve and use only what they needed; they didn’t have the same expectations. When people got hot, they sat on the front porch in the shade, they did not have air conditioners. “

Evan reminisced about the mill and said before it burned he had hopes that the empty building might be turned into a gift shop museum.

“I was hoping that they might keep the stone wall that was left after the fire as a reminder of bygone days, it had some interesting pos-sibilities.”

Evan added his hope is that the school teachers in Tweed will contact him, make a les-son plan about the mill, and bring the school children to the Heritage Centre to learn about how flour was made and how the mill operated.

The display will be on un-til the end of February.

Author/illustrator booked for Literacy Day

Regular library patron Isobel Budding is hoping to meet author and illustrator Peggy Collins at the upcoming Literacy Day event hosted by the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library. The Napanee-area author will be at the Eugene Burrell Hall on Saturday, January 26. Photo: Richard Turtle

“Peggy will be sharing her vibrant and engaging picture books and leading the kids in crafts and step by step illustration instruc-tions. Refreshments will be served and resources for parents will be available,” Bannon says. “As always, wonderful door prizes will be drawn at the conclusion of the morning as well.”

The special event was made possible through the generous support of West Wings Cafe, Stirling Foodland, Balu’s Guardian Pharmacy, Belleville Chap-ters and Campbellford Tim Hortons, as well as the writer, she adds.

Family Literacy Day is a national awareness initia-tive created by ABC Life Literacy Canada in 1999 and held annually in Janu-ary to raise awareness of the importance of reading and engaging in other lit-eracy-related activities as a

family. This is a free event, however, registration is preferred for planning pur-

poses. For more informa-tion please call Jaye at the library at 613-395-2837.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Trent Hills Renewing their wedding vows at the annual Polar Bear Plunge in Campbell-ford is in no way an attempt to freeze out other plung-ers.

In fact, according to Ken and Ginette Dehne, it’s quite the opposite.

“We are doing this as a way to drum up attention and help the hospital out,” said husband Ken, who al-ready has his black tuxedo ready for the occasion.

The happy couple started making plans for the cer-emony immediately after plunging into the cold wa-ters of the Trent River for the fi rst time at last year’s fund raiser.

But why do the plunge at all?

“It was on my bucket list. I always wanted to try,” said Ginette.

“I hate the cold but I thought I can lick this and so I didn’t feel the cold at all. The excitement of the crowd had the adrenaline going so I just got going with the fl ow,” she added.

For her husband it was a

different story.“He was more nervous

than I was when we did it last year. He actually was colder than I was even though he says he likes the cold,” she added with a big grin.

She plans on wearing her wedding dress as she plung-es into the frigid water.

“It’s called wreck the dress,” she said laughing again.

Last year the couple wore grass skirts, perhaps in an effort to heat things up.

This couple remains very upbeat and positive about the experience and by do-ing the interview hope to inspire others to join them “and take the plunge.”

Two years ago the plunge was threatened with becom-ing a non-event but at the last minute two dozen brave souls signed up.

Bannister thinks it might have been because of the minus-25 degree weather.

This year’s temperatures are still up for grabs but so far the weather has been warmer than normal.

Ken and Ginette Dehne will also mark the ceremony by giving away about 50

Smooth sailing may not be possible anymore

Couple to renew their vows at Polar Bear Plungesmall polar bears to children who attend.

“We will have our wed-ding album there and a guest book for people to sign,” she said.

Their maid of honour will be Kimberly Gray and the best man will be Earl McLean, who has participat-ed in the polar bear plunge for at least 15 years.

“Earl is the one who brought us together,” she commented.

The couple was married 20 years ago on June 26, 1993.

The fact that the polar bear plunge will take place January 26, at Lions Beach Park also played a part in the couple’s decision to renew their vows this year.

“The plunge is scheduled for 12 noon but the Trent Hills Fire Department will be doing a fi ve-minute wa-ter ice rescue demonstration fi rst,” said Bannister.

The department always has its volunteer fi refi ghters in the water and close by to assist with the plunge and a school bus is on site where the plungers can get warm.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Trent Hills The waters of the Trent Severn just got rougher for boaters.

Not only are travellers on the 386-kilometre water-way facing lockage schedule changes for the 2013 season owing to staffi ng cutbacks and reduced hours of opera-tion by Parks Canada, boat-ers will have to pay more to travel it now.

“We just learned there are some proposed user fees increases which may impact boaters,” said Nancy Allan-son, executive director for the Trent Hills and District Chamber of Commerce.

Her comments come on the heels of the cham-ber’s efforts to lessen the impact of the changes in the lockage schedule.

“Since the announcement regarding the 2013 Trent-Severn Waterway Season hours, the chamber has been working to mitigate the im-

pact to the local economy,” she said.

Chamber President Schelle Holmes said, “The

Trent-Severn Waterway is an important source of

tourism dollars for the Trent Hills area.”

The chamber did survey the members this past year seeking alternative revenue ideas for the waterway. They have also been involved in meetings with stakehold-ers and other Chambers of Commerce along the water-way, seeking a solution to the challenge of funding the waterway operations.

“We have been very ac-tive over the past several months monitoring the sit-uation and looking for op-portunities to share input. When we learned about the new hours, we were espe-cially concerned about the scheduled lockages and how it would affect overnight boating visitors to both Campbellford and Hast-ings,” said Holmes.

Staffi ng with Parks Can-ada in this area was reduced by 11 people.

As a result of overall staff reductions some parts of the

waterway will see lockmas-ters open one lock and travel up the system opening oth-ers as the boats make their way along the Trent.

Scheduled lockages are between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., with travel between specifi c locks.

The chamber expressed concern that changes to scheduled lockages in one of the sections, Lock 7 through 13, would make it very in-convenient to stay overnight in Campbellford.

“We are pleased to an-nounce that the Trent-Severn Waterway has heard our concerns and have been advised that the last lockage will be changed from Lock 13 to Lock 11/12 [near the suspension bridge],” said Holmes.

“We appreciate the input from the local lockmasters for expressing their con-cerns regarding this par-ticular challenge. We respect

TRENVAL PARTNERS WITH SMALL BUSINESS CENTRE TO EXPAND SERVICE

Trenval Business Development Corporation is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the City of Belleville and the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation (MEDI) to deliver small business counselling and information services to businesses operating in Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County and Hastings County. The integration of federally-funded Trenval with the provincially/municipally-funded Small Business Centre will broaden the geographic reach and increase accessibility to the thousands of small businesses currently operating in this catchment area. “We are excited with this new delivery model, one of the first in the Province”, said Bruce Davis, Trenval’s Executive Director. “Combining the skill sets of both organizations can only result in a higher level of service for our small business clients”. Karen Poste, Belleville’s Economic Development Manager, adds, “This integration is just what small businesses in our region needs. Bringing these two well-known organizations together is a great fit for existing small businesses, as well as for aspiring entrepreneurs who are seeking support to get their business ideas to market.”

In addition to its counselling and information services, a stand-alone Small Business Centre has always done a tremendous job in delivering workshops and seminars to small business. However, this integrative model will add a new dimension to the service offerings – financing. Trenval has been lending money to small businesses since 1987, and it is expected that this part of Trenval’s service will increase as a direct result of this broadened exposure to the small business sector. “We have assisted close to 700 small businesses with their financing needs – 48 in the past year alone”, says Davis. “We are able to help a small business in getting launched or to expand when conventional financing options are not possible. I know that there are other small businesses out there that we can help in a similar way. Tapping into the Small Business Centre’s network virtually guarantees it.”

Recently the Trenval/Small Business Centre team held a focus group session attended by managers of many regional agencies that “touch” small business. Using their input, an operational plan is now being prepared that will encompass the identified needs of the small business community. It is fully expected that this plan will include a higher frequency of topical workshops and outreach activities, and a heightened profile within the local communities for the services that both Trenval and the Small Business Centre can provide.

Trenval (613-961-7999) and the Small Business Centre (613-961-0590) are co-located at the Quinte Business Development Centre in the Pioneer Building of Loyalist College, 284B Wallbridge-Loyalist Road.

Vette offers support to music program

Musician Freddy Vette presents Stirling Senior School music teacher Melody Mercer with a cheque for $1,000 for the school’s music program. A former student, Vette says the donation is to acknowledge the importance of school arts courses.

Freddy Vette jams with music teacher Melody Mercer at Stirling Senior School after making a donation to the school’s music program. During his visit with Grade 6 students, Vette also offered an impromptu performance on the piano and recorder.

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - When Freddy Vette first discovered the world of mu-sic, he was an elementary school student named Scott Haggerty.

Today, under his stage name, Vette is a well-known local radio personality and a popular performer and front man of Freddy Vette and the Flames. And last week he, along with vocalist Joanne Hartman, arrived at Stirling Senior School to offer some young music students there a little encouragement.

“I loved it so much,” Vette says of his early days in the music room, reflecting on memories that included former teachers Betty Wat-son and Barb Vardy and several of the same instru-ments used today. And last week it was payback time. After some words of sup-port from the professional musician, as well as some impromptu demonstrations

on the piano, recorder and drums, Vette presented mu-

sic teacher Melody Mercer with a cheque for $1,000

to help with some of the school’s costs.

“This is huge,” says Mer-cer of both the donation and having Vette as a classroom guest. The instrumental music department has also been supported by commu-nity groups in the past, she says, but remains among the more expensive pro-grams to offer, taking into consideration the price of instruments, maintenance and repairs along with sheet music and other costs. So re-placements are rare.

“Some of these instru-ments are older than I am,” she says. But she and Vette

agree such programs are critical.

“It’s not just me,” Vette says of his deep appreciation for music. Growing up in a musical family, he says, of-fered him some insight into life as an entertainer and provided opportunities to perform with others. And music class, band and choir were the same.

“The enthusiasm the kids show is really nice to see,” he says. “This is their out-let.”

Music, he explains, teach-es cooperation and the im-portance of each individual part in a collective process, likening it to a team sport where everybody wins.

And with his own career on a winning course, his lat-est CD Freddy Vette & The Flames LIVE TONIGHT, Volume 1 & 2 topping the December charts at Sam’s at the Quinte Mall, Vette says it was time to acknowledge some of his supporters.

“It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time,” he says of the recent donation, noting a musical career doesn’t start over-night. And it involves a lot of support from a lot of dif-ferent people.

But he hopes others will take his lead and show their support for arts education. Vette is encouraging other professional artists to re-flect on the programs that got them started, in order to help foster new talent.

that our federal government must make efforts to be fis-cally responsible,” said Hol-mes.

“Our role is to look for ways that we can help to lessen the impact to local businesses.”

Last season there were 475 overnight boaters who docked at Campbellford, one less than the previous year.

Their stay generates about $19,000 in revenue which is used to provide the service and operate the docking facility.

If boaters decide the changes to scheduled lock-ages and proposed user fee increases are not affordable the numbers could sink busi-nesses along the waterway.

Part of the proposal in-cludes the introduction of a

new fee structure for canals.The proposal to increase

user fees in 2014 could have a ripple effect when com-bined with the changes to scheduled lockages impact-ing boaters even more.

The consultations will run from January 11 until February 18.

“The Chamber will be sharing this information with stakeholders to encour-age their participation in the process,” said Holmes.

Parks Canada froze user fees in 2008 and the fee freeze ends March 31.

By Bill FreemanEMC Entertainment Norwood - The departure of Adam Gontier from chart-topping Norwood rock band Three Days Grace is a shock to fans and band-mates alike.

The band was told Decem-ber 21 that their lead singer and guitarist had decided to leave the band to deal with a non-life-threatening health issue. The award-winning, million-selling band is pre-paring for a six-week U.S. arena tour with Shinedown and has invited My Darkest Days lead singer Matt Walst to fi ll in on vocals giving him a chance to appear on stage with his brother Brad, 3DG’s bass player.

Their latest album Tran-sit of Venus soared to the top of the charts with their fi rst single release, Chalk Outline, reaching number one.

“We appreciate every-one’s concern about Three Days Grace,” the band said

in a statement posted on their web site.

“In a letter to us Adam indicated that he was re-signing from the band due to a non-life-threatening health issue and wanted the band to continue moving forward without him. We were as shocked as many of

you were to hear the news,” they said.

“Instead of cancelling the tour, we felt an obligation to you, the fans, to forge ahead and put on the best show we can.”

The band has been

“hanging out and rehears-ing” with Matt in prepa-ration for the tour which kicks off February 1 in Mo-line, Illinois.

“[We] look forward to rocking the stage in a few weeks.”

“As of right now, Matt’s role is temporary and as far as the future and beyond this tour we are taking it one day at a time,” the band added.

Gontier wished his band-mates well and said he has been blessed by their friendship and inspiration.

“There have been many defi ning moments in my life. My time as part of Three Days Grace is most defi nitely one of the mirac-ulous ones,” Gontier said in a post on his Facebook site.

“I have had so many tender-hearted people share with me their stories; how I’ve touched, or changed their lives,” he said. “My truth is that all of the love I have received has forever

Gontier departure shocks Three Days Gracechanged my life. Each letter I’ve read, every picture I’ve been sent, all of the voices I’ve heard sing along with me, I will forever remem-ber, and never forget.

“After twenty years of being part of an ever evolv-ing band, I have been in-spired by life to move on and to continue to evolve on my own terms. I could

not be more grateful for all the souls who have travelled along with me. A journey I look back on with integrity and a future I look forward to with such hope.”

Reality Check: EMC Lifestyles - Last Fri-day the elementary school teachers’ union did them-selves no favours. They waited until 4:30 in the morning to call off their one-day strike, leaving con-fused parents scrambling. All over the province kids were waking up and being told, “there’s school after all!” Many were so upset that they weren’t getting the day off that parents kept them home.

In one little friend’s class, eight out of 20 children showed up. And yet the unions knew the facts weeks ago, and could have made that decision far earlier, sav-ing everyone (including the teachers) inconvenience and stress.

The unions may claim they’re fighting for the kids, but the ones in the best position to fight for the children are the parents. A teachers’ union, by its defi-nition, must focus primar-ily on getting the best deal for its members. If they were focused primarily on the kids, they wouldn’t

be cutting extracurricular activities. So let’s not use the “it’s for the children!” line. It’s about teachers, and their work conditions, and that’s perfectly valid to wrangle about. Teaching is a difficult job, and they should be compensated well for it. After all, we do want the best candidates teaching our kids.

I’m not sure government unions, however, are the best ones to do that wrangling. First, unions often work di-rectly against quality teach-ing. Unions make it virtually impossible to give pay based on actual performance, so great teachers are paid the same as lousy teachers, and can be laid off first when budget cuts come.

Second, government unions differ fundamentally from private sector unions. In the private sector, if the union demands too much the company goes under, so there’s a balancing force. Government, on the other hand, can keep borrowing money—to a point. And be-cause government workers

make up such a high per-centage of our population, they’re basically represent-ing themselves twice. The union lobbies for them, and then they vote in politicians who will support them. I’m not sure who represents taxpayers.

Here are some simple facts: the Ontario govern-ment currently has a pro-jected $15-billion deficit. To close it, we must cut costs. To do that, we must address the biggest items in the budget, and education is the second largest expenditure, eating up 20 per cent of our tax dollars.

I know the teachers’ unions believe the current issue is their rights being taken away—specifically their right to collective bar-gaining—but it all comes back to money. Collective bargaining has led to agree-ments that are too expen-sive for the government to maintain. If the government is going to control costs, it must weaken the ability of the union to drive up the deficit.

If the unions want to con-tribute something useful to our provincial conversation, let me offer a suggestion: develop a detailed, alterna-tive budget that reduces and eventually eliminates the deficit. Keep their perks and collective bargaining if they want, but then show us what else they would cut to still meet these fiscal goals. Then we all could debate the two visions. Maybe they’d come up with some better ideas! We could really use some right about now. But until the unions start acknowl-edging that there is no more money, and stop using the kids as pawns, it’s difficult to get behind them.

Government will not be able to keep paying for the same level of services we have indefinitely. Our popu-lation is aging; our debts are coming due; our finances are in ruin. All of us are going to see some major tighten-ing of belts in the not too distant future. The private sector is already seeing it; perhaps it’s time the public sector played its part, too.

around 2,500 separate mem-bers, most of whom repre-sent their own business, try-ing to reach consensus on matters is remarkably easy. This is quite a feat as most of these folk make deci-sions with the input of only one voice, theirs. You would think such strong-minded men and women would be more difficult to manage than a herd of cats.

Member companies do share financial benefits, dis-counts on equipment, fuel, insurance and other bits and pieces need to conduct their business. If this were the

only reason, then LO would be nothing more than a one dimensional buyer’s group.

Training, education and awareness are major com-ponents of LO’s reason for

being. Today’s work en-vironment is constantly changing with exciting new products, new ways of do-ing things and, sometimes new challenges or dangers. LO conducts surveys, which

enjoy very high responses, that keeps them on track in providing what the industry needs to everyone on the leading edge.

Legislation is a bane and a boon. The latter because

it can give everyone a clear understanding of what is re-quired. Such legislation, in my opinion, has one over-riding purpose, to keep all of us safe. Mind you, there is a lot of it. One of my col-leagues has suggested he needs one pickup truck just to carry the permits and paperwork to and from job sites. LO provides legal ad-vice and mediation services, updates and training to give owners the opportunity for compliance. (The time is soon approaching when the phrase “due diligence” will not provide the wiggle room it now does.)

None of the above is the real strength of LO. The members, all volunteers, provide the backbone of this organisation. Through networking among them-selves at chapter meetings and provincial get-togeth-ers, creating amazing com-munity projects (in the Up-per Canada Chapter alone you can see the results at the Picton Cenotaph, the Belleville Police Services

Children Safety Village, Gananoque Theatre, and Trenton’s Community Liv-ing of Quinte West’s new patio, paths and teaching gardens), mentoring and encouraging new members, well, the list goes on.

When the members get together they do so to im-prove both their industry and their communities. When those are being taken care of, their businesses fall in line.

By the way, if you like educational congresses and trade shows, this year’s con-gress rank is #10 and the one that many of you enjoy is the #7 Canada Blooms and Home Show. Not bad for a volunteer organisation.

Gentle Reader, you might ask what this has to do with you. An LO member agrees to a code of ethics when they join. They must be support-ed by other members of the trade. They must continue to conduct their businesses in that manner. When you contact an LO member, you know you are contacting a

knowledgeable responsible company who will treat you fairly. (Yes there are other non-LO companies out there who are outstanding in all aspects of their busi-ness but not so many.)

LO is very much like a family, a bit of an extended one with the occasional squabble, and I am very pleased to be a member. And now, GR, you know a little bit more about us.

With families, there is al-ways good news and not so good.

Good news: Sheridan Nurseries celebrates their 100th birthday and they are truly on top of the world as #1 in Canada and #1 in the world. Go to their web site and learn a bit about this re-markable all-Canadian com-pany.

Now, a sad note: Bobbi Plummer, Garden Designs By The Yard, has passed away far too early. Bobbi’s enormous energy and gen-erosity always brought a smile to our faces when we chatted.


Some think legislation is a bane others think it’s a boon

Campbellford hunter convicted in dog shootingEMC News - Campbell-ford - A Campbellford man has been fined $3,333.58 for careless hunting that resulted in the shooting of a dog. He also paid $1,666.42 in veteri-nary bills before his court ap-pearance.

Robert Goudreault pleaded guilty to the charge of care-

less hunting. In addition to the fine, his hunting licences have been cancelled until he completes an accredited Hunter Safety Course and passes the exam.

The court heard that in March 2012, Goudreault was hunting coyotes from a tree stand in Stirling-

Rawdon Township, north-west of Belleville. He had a high-powered rifle equipped with a scope. Goudreault was watching a coyote decoy from about 125 metres away when he saw a large animal with yellow-white fur charge the decoy. Without taking due care to verify his target,

Goudreault shot the dog be-lieving it to be a white wolf. On further investigation by the conservation officer, it was found to be a white Ak-bash dog belonging to a local resident.

Justice of the Peace Deanne Chapelle heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice,

in Belleville, on December 11, 2012. Hunters must always be sure of their target, and what lies beyond it, before putting their finger on the trigger.

For further information on hunting regulations, please consult the 2012-2013 Hunt-ing Regulations Summary,

available at ServiceOntario/Government Information Centres, from licence issuers and at <ontario.ca/hunting>.

To report a natural resourc-es violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your lo-cal ministry officer during regular business hours.

TRAVEL

by John M. SmithEMC Lifestyles - While my wife and I were vacation-ing on the beautiful Caribbe-an island of St. Maarten, we decided to partake in a day trip that was offered to the nearby island of St. Barts (an abbre-viation of “St. Barthelemy” and commonly known as “St. Barth” in French), where we would tour the island in a convoy of Mini Cooper con-vertibles and check out this so-called “Celebrity Island.” After all, this small, rugged, hilly, reef-encircled, volca-nic island seems to be a very popular spot with the rich and the famous.

The island tour was entic-ing, but I worried about the island-to-island boat ride, for I’m susceptible to seasick-ness, at times. As it turned out, this fear was “on target,” for we faced a headwind on our early morning voyage to St. Barts, and it was a very choppy ride at a fast speed. I did get feeling very “woozy” with the bobbing and weav-ing, and I wasn’t alone. There were three or four throwing up around me, and one lady was not only sick, but was

screaming and crying, too! These ongoing escapades were not very helpful or re-assuring to me, but I some-how was able to keep myself “under control” and arrived on shore “shaken” but not “broken”!

After about an hour’s ride on the high-speed ferry, we arrived at Gustavia, the capi-tal of St. Barts, and I simply disembarked, went through customs with my passport, and found a nearby bench to sit down on for a few min-utes. Once I got my “land legs” back and drank some bottled water, I was soon “good to go.” On with the adventure!

Marion, my wife, had made the crossing without incident, and she arrived on St. Barts in full “shopping mode”! After I revived and joined her, we spent some time simply admiring the as-sortment of gigantic yachts in the harbour and the re-stored facades of the wooden and stone buildings that re-main in Gustavia from the Swedish era. St. Barts is the only Caribbean island that had a Swedish colony for a

Exploring St. Barts via Mini Coopersignificant period of time. We also visited some of the designer boutiques located in this duty-free port with its tax-free shopping, but we certainly didn’t find many “bargains” here!

After strolling through Gustavia, we found our-selves on the aptly named Shell Beach, which is covered in seashells, where our group met for lunch at Restaurant Do Brazil. The meal was in-cluded in the tour, and that was a good thing, for a ham-burger and fries cost about $40 here. (I mentioned “no bargains” to you already.)

After our lunch and an introductory talk about our upcoming driving tour, we were assigned our Mini Coo-per, and the journey around the island really began. Each couple was given a convert-ible, so it was kind of “cool” to see this convoy of con-vertibles making their way along the narrow, twisting roads. I found this excit-ing, for the roads were not only narrow, but very hilly, too with very sharp curves often being the norm. My wife wasn’t as happy with this part of the tour, for she was my passenger and had to worry about my making all those curves and staying on the precipices!

As we toured the island, we passed several stone-fenced farms with tile-roofed houses, and we saw several magnificent beaches, includ-ing St. Jean, Flamands, Co-lombier, Toiny, Gouverneur, and Saline. We also passed by the only airport that serves the island, the Aero-port de St. Jean, and discov-ered that it has a very short landing strip, so it’s only suitable for small planes (up to 20 passengers), and it’s not equipped for night landings.

There were many stops along our route for “photo ops,” and we passed many luxurious homes of the rich and famous. For the sake of their privacy, we weren’t told who lived where, but a few names of resident celebrities were given, and we did see the actual former home of the renowned Russian ballet dancer, Rudolf Nureyev. We also passed by the residence of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who reportedly paid at least $59 million for his 70-acre palatial estate on St. Barts, where he hosts an annual celebrity filled New Year’s Eve party and flies in such entertainers as Prince, the Black Eyed Peas and the Red Hot Chili Peppers to perform.

Many of the elaborate plac-es that we drove by were gat-ed—with large pools—and appeared to be carved right out of the hillside. Since the island is small, only 21 kilo-metres square, there are not a lot of large luxury resort hotels to be found here, but there are certainly luxurious accommodations—especial-ly rental villas—available to those with the money. You’ll also find some expensive fine dining restaurants. The of-ficial language on this island in the French West Indies is, of course, French, but English is very common here, too.

After encircling the island, we returned to Gustavia and parked our vehicles. We then returned to the har-bour and boarded our speedy ferry for the return trip to St. Maarten. Since the wa-ters were now calm, and the wind was at our back, this crossing was much easier (no “woozy” feeling this time), and we soon found ourselves back after our great adven-ture trek to St. Barts.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Warkworth - Comayagua.

It’s not only the name of a city in Honduras it is a book, an e-book and/or print book, fi lled with black and white photographs taken by local photographer Gary Mulca-hey while with a medical brigade in the Comayagua Mountains of Honduras.

Comayagua is located about 100 kilometres (60 miles) away from Tegucigal-pa, the capital of this Central American nation.

Capturing the essence of the people through the lens of his camera, Mulcahey got up close and personal while volunteering for a medical mission where he was given the task of outfi tting Hon-durans with eyeglasses.

“The Lioness Club of Campbellford gave us a hockey bag full of prescrip-tion glasses,” said Mulcahey at his recent one-man show where more than two dozen black and white photos, and one colour image, were put on display in the village for two days.

“Every day I would set up a table and fi t everyone with eyeglasses. It was pretty re-warding. That’s how I got to photograph these por-traits,” he said pointing to the framed faces on the wall

nearby.“Even though their stan-

dard of living is awful, they are very impoverished, they are a beautiful people, mar-velous people, always laugh-ing,” he told EMC.

Mulcahey is an artist who has always made a living with his photography but this trip was a new kind of experience for him.

“It was different for me because I don’t get to do any photo journalism,” he said.

“I’ve always been a studio photographer. It was nice to be out in the fi eld.”

He took more than 1,200 photos while with the medi-cal brigade organized by Friends of Honduran Chil-dren.

This non-profi t grass-roots group, founded in 1979 by Dr. Jim McCal-lum, an oral surgeon in Peterborough, sends three brigades a year, each one consisting of 16-18 medi-cal professionals from Pe-terborough and area.

Mulcahey was in the com-pany of professionals such as Dr. Joe Barbero a new doctor in Trent Hills, and Samantha Dalby, a nurse practitioner. Both work with the Trent Hills Family Health Team.

For Mulcahey this was a journey he will never for-get, a journey during which

he was able to capture the faces of the people affected by that country’s crisis.

“We pay our own way and every nickel we get goes towards the organization,” he commented.

“I think the memories aren’t of the Hondurans so much as how hard the con-tingency [medical profes-sionals] worked. The doc-tors worked hard every day on their own dime. And the poverty … what sticks with me is how impoverished the people are,” he told EMC.

Beverly Roy was among the many people who dropped by to see Mulca-hey’s photo exhibition and sale.

“I am so enthralled with these kids’ eyes. His photo-graphs really take you there. Even from the very young children to the older people the eyes say so much,” she commented while viewing his portraits of the Hondu-ran people.

For those who want to download Mulcahey’s e-book or purchase the print version go to <http://store.blurb.ca/ebooks/326043-comayagua>.

His two-day show was well attended and his photographs are now available in an e-book or full print version. Photo: Sue Dickens
