By Richard TurtleEMC News - Madoc - Despite strong opposition from Councillor Larry Mitz, Centre Hastings Fire Chief Stanley Laton remained steadfast in his resolve to impose a fire ban on outdoor burning until some time in mid-May.

“I want the ban on until the grass greens,” Laton told council at their regu-lar meeting last Wednesday afternoon when questioned about the need for it at this particular time of year, suggesting the ban may remain in place for a month.

“Preventing fires is our goal,” he said

adding any outdoor fire now warrants a response from the fire department.

“There’s a lot of dried vegetation on top,” he noted, adding a day’s sunshine combined with windy conditions could spell disaster.

“I have a problem with a fire ban,” Mitz said, noting this is the time of year farmers are trimming brush and prepar-ing for planting. “The brush is all piled on arable land,” he said. “When are they going to [be allowed to] burn the brush?”

Laton said they would have to wait

until conditions warranted a lifting of the ban.

“It’s easy to support when it’s a safety issue,” said Councillor Shelby Kramp-Neuman.

“I do apologize,” said Laton, “I know it is an inconvenience.”

“It’s more than an inconvenience,” Mitz said before being the lone dissent-ing vote against the chief’s recommen-dation.

Reeve Owen Ketcheson thanked de-partment heads for their efforts in help-ing to get the budget prepared prior to its

passing. Rate changes will vary accord-ing to assessment but in most cases will be minimal.

Deputy-reeve Tom Simpson also re-flected on the budget noting that, “al-though it was a challenge this year, this is one of the better ones.”

On other matters, he was less com-plimentary of the cleanup delay from a winter fire downtown, asking, “How can we help facilitate getting that property cleaned up?” But councillors conceded there was little they could do but hope the wait wouldn’t be much longer.

By Scott PettigrewEMC News - Tweed - The Gateway Community Health Centre (CHC) in Tweed held a press con-ference April 8 where the Minister of Rural Af-fairs Jeff Leal announced funding has been made available for a 10,000-square-foot expansion of Gateway CHC as well as a capital investment for Belleville-Quinte West who have been operating a community health centre out of portables and will now be building a new centre.

“Rural communities have unique health care needs; this is why the programs and services of-fered by Gateway and Belleville Quinte West Community Health Centres are essential and will be further enhanced with the construction of new facilities. This will result in more programs and services available to more clients, strength-ening the rural community it serves,” said Leal. Leal was asked if a dollar value had been put on the project and said the process will involve sending out requests for tenders in the newspa-per and waiting for dollar estimates to come, at which time they will be examined and have to go through an approval process. Once the tenders have been accepted then a date to begin construc-tion could be established.

After Doctor Andy Quinn (primary care physi-cian at Gateway) thanked Minister Leal from all the staff he said, “We need to thank the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for supporting our capital request to renovate our existing structure but also to build a new 10,000-square-foot pri-mary care building. [The existing building will be used mainly for administration and program-ming]. We also want to thank the Southeast LHIN board and staff and our own board of directors along with Lyn Linton and Louise Griff, who worked tirelessly on this initiative since 2009.”

Doctor Quinn said the existing Gateway build-ing was built 20 years ago and of the 10,000 square feet, there is only about 5,200 that is

By Judy BackusEMC News - Marmora - Recent weather might lead one to believe otherwise, but summer will be along in a few short months. With that in mind, members of the Marmora Fire-works Committee are working to raise money toward the purchase of the fireworks which are to be set off from atop the Aecon slag pile on July 1 for the fifth annual Canada Day display organized by the committee.

Committee members stress that no money is received from the Municipality of Marmora and Lake and that the display is made possible through donations from local businesses, or-

EMC News - Trees and branches weren’t the only things to suffer damage during last week’s severe ice storm. The fencing at the Marmora ball diamond took a beating when the ice that had accumulated in the netting caused the entire structure, which stretches the length of the ball diamond, to topple. One nearby resident who witnessed the in-cident said the fence fell like the proverbial deck of cards. Photo: Judy Backus

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - Lo-cal firefighters were kept busy throughout the weekend when an ice storm last Friday snapped tree limbs and downed power lines temporarily closing roads and leaving area residents in the dark.

But while damage was ex-tensive, there were no reports of injuries or significant loss of property as a result says Stirling-Rawdon Fire Chief Rick Cad-dick. With the village without power through much of the daylight hours Friday, Caddick says, emergency operations were

Once again, Canada Day will be a blastganizations and individuals. Already, a list of sponsors has been posted in the window of the Historical Foundation, with those having donated $250, $100, $50 or $25 being credited as platinum, gold, silver or bronze donors respectively.

A new initiative this year is the lottery draw which is set up in the TD Bank with 1,000 chances at $5 each, with the win-ner to receive $1,000 and the rest to go toward the purchase of the fireworks, which last year cost $8,000. As Cathie Jones, one of the committee members, said of the lottery, “We want to top the $8,000 from other years.” Already, many of the spaces on the board have buyers’ names on them, but there is still time to help support the fund and maybe win some cash, since the draw is scheduled for June 21 at the bank. The board will be set up outdoors on the coming Cruise Nights, with the last purchase date being June 20.

Another fund-raising effort to help make Canada Day a blast, is the jelly bean guessing contest, with a very large jar of the sweets circulating from store to store where shoppers can estimate the number of candies it contains for a contribu-tion of $1. The prize for having the closest estimate as to the actual number of candies in the jar, without going over, is the candy itself.

Members of the Marmora Fireworks Committee, Donna Nicolson, Cathie Jones, Cheryle Leonard and Kathi McBride invite all to participate in fund-raising for the purchase of fireworks. Photo: Judy Backus

Canadian Cancer Society Flag Raising

From the left are El Killian, Mary Clemenger, Sheila Golden, Deena Mac-Cauley, Joe MacCauley with his grandson Ben Farrel, Barb McCaw and Linda Bracken. Photo: Submitted

EMC News - Marmora - The April 2 flag raising at the Tourism Centre, held on a chilly and blus-tery morning, marked the kickoff of the door-to-door canvass con-ducted by members of the Marmo-ra Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society throughout the month of April. Daffodil Day was marked on April 5 both at TD Canada Trust and Valu Mart, and coin boxes will be in place throughout the community between April 2 and 30.

Once the campaign has con-cluded, a Volunteer Appreciation Tea, along with awards, will be held May 13 in the William Shan-non Room, beginning at 1 p.m.

President of the Marmora Branch, Barb McCaw, who was present at the flag raising, ex-pressed appreciation for the vol-unteers, stating that, “Together, we do make a difference.”

Ice storm topples ball diamond fence

set up at the emergency services building with crews deployed from there and Spring Brook.

“The power went out at 8 a.m. and that’s about when we got our first call,” he says. “We cleared roads, cut trees, anything we could to keep things moving.” The power was restored in the village around 6 p.m. Caddick notes, but many rural residents went without power through much of the weekend.

Public Works Manager Charles Croll says municipal crews were out on cleanup detail through Saturday, their work completed by day’s end.

Local police also report a rela-tively quiet weekend, though a pair of generators were reported stolen over that time period, says Stirling-Rawdon Police Consta-ble Darrin Heasman.

“And kudos to the fire depart-ment and the public works crews,” he adds, noting the storm brought down some large branches both within the village and along side roads and highways.

“There were a lot of trees down and some roads temporar-ily closed; when you look around there was considerable damage,” he says but police received no re-ports of injuries or major losses.

usable space. “At that time we envisioned never having more than 19 staff and we now have 30. Over the years we had to constantly retool the building resulting in major problems with air flow, ventilation, heating and air condi-tioning so we are very excited about being able to improve our work flow, infectious disease control, new opportuni-ties for learning and we will have a new facility for our OTM conferencing which is very important to rural physi-cians and nurses. It will also allow us to solve many of the problems in the existing building.”

Asked if there would be any interruption in services at Gateway Quinn said everything would continue as nor-mal. Once the new building is finished, people would be treated there and the renovations to the existing building would then be done.

“Today’s announcement for a capital investment to create a permanent site for the Quinte West centre means people living in the area will have improved access to services they need. Their complex health care needs and often limited access to health care will be effectively addressed through

our permanent site. We are very excited to move forward with our plans to achieve ongoing site for service delivery to our clients and the com-munity,” said Michael Piercy, chair of the board of directors for Belleville Quinte West CHC.

The Gateway CHC and Belleville Quinte West CHC are two of 17 sites across Ontario to benefit from community capital improve-ment projects this year. There are 101 CHCs throughout Ontario providing care for more than 300,000 people.

“This will be a tremendous boost for health services in our community,” said Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert. “It is very heartening to acknowl-edge the continued commitment by the province to the rural lifestyle and more specifically our health needs. The Gateway CHC is a vital part of our com-munity … they are a great community partner with the municipality, the Eastern Ontario Trails Alli-ance, the Kiwanis Club, Salvation Army, schools; I don’t think there an organization in Tweed they have not partnered with over the years.”

Surgeons from Peterborough and Belleville can now access the operating room at CMH

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbellford - More surgeries in less time has freed up the operating room at Campbellford Me-morial Hospital (CMH) opening the door to area surgeons.

Dr. Lynn Mikula, general surgeon and division chief at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) is among the surgeons who will be able to access the operation room for her patients.

She attended a meet and greet event at CMH last Friday and spoke with Trent Hills Regional News about the project.

“What we would like to build is a program in which the general sur-gery group, and there are five of us [at PRHC], come here and patients who don’t necessarily have to go down the road can get their consultation here and their operations here when it is appropriate,” she said.

The program targets patients re-

quiring daytime elective surgery.“I’ve seen it in Toronto where I

did my training where hospitals are partnered together in a similar situ-ation where you have a big hospital and then a smaller hospital and you develop a real working relationship between the physicians there to allow the patients to stay within their local community. I’ve seen it work very, very well,” Dr. Mikula commented.

“I do believe there is a need for it. It’s for the patient and we are think-ing if you build it they will come,” she added.

The whole point is to make it so that patients, particularly elderly frail patients without easy access to a car can get safely here … because it should be available.”

Jan Raine, chief nursing officer with CMH talked about the project.

“We are really excited, staff are excited and more importantly it’s the right thing to do for the patients here

in Campbellford,” she said, adding she hopes it will become a permanent program.

To get to this point the hospital worked at improving scheduling practices.

“Earlier this year, we adopted bet-ter scheduling practices to improve patient turnaround time. We also in-troduced best practices related to run-ning a surgical program from other hospitals,” said Brad Hilker, CEO and president.

“As a result, we are completing more surgeries in less time and saving financial resources along the way,” he added.

“Since we have the staffing com-plement to run the operating room for five days a week, CMH staff can now offer their support to the work of ad-ditional surgical teams.”

The process resulted in the oper-ating room becoming available two days each week.

The community’s support in help-ing to raise the more than $124,000 for the purchase of new surgical scopes (colonoscopes and gastroscopes) has also helped, allowing the hospital to treat more patients within a day with the new technology. These improve-ments mean the hospital’s surgeon Dr. Jerry Sue-Chue-Lam is able to support current surgical patient vol-umes within three days each week.

The hospital board has granted privileges to five general surgeons from the PRHC and another five who currently practise out of Quinte Health Care.

“Having access to the hospital’s surgical unit will enable these physi-cians to reduce the wait times their patients experience today for a vari-ety of procedures,” said Hilker.

The hospital’s surgical suite is comprised of the operating theatres, post-anesthetic recovery unit and an eight-bed surgical day care unit.

By Scott PettigrewEMC News - Tweed - Rachelle Hardesty, general manager of the Land O’ Lakes Tourist Association (LOLTA) recently announced that Tweed will play host to two fi shing shows and one hunting show to be fi lmed within the municipality.

“The fi rst show to be fi lmed will be Fish TV and will fo-

By Scott PettigrewEMC Business - Tweed - There are a lot of very happy and relieved shoppers in the Tweed area because a cloth-ing store has fi nally opened called “At the Store.” Here people can fi nally buy the clothing basics like socks and underwear as well as some very fashionable clothes.

The store had their grand opening April 13 and had lots of people browsing through their large inventory. Robert Burton is the new owner. He is originally from Toronto and has chosen a completely new career path for himself as he used to have a truck suspen-sion repair business. He and his wife Gail, who owns the pet store next to the clothing store, moved to Tweed four years ago.

“We decided to open the clothing store because we saw a need. You can’t even buy a T-shirt in the town so we have been asking people what they would like to see in a clothing store and they have told us things like ny-lon stockings and children’s clothing. We have suppliers in Toronto, Montreal and California. We have all siz-es for all people. I believe in excellent customer service. I think we have very com-petitive prices that compare to any of the big stores, people only need to come in the store and see for them-selves.”

Robert also makes wire jewellery and will be teach-ing this craft at the store in the evenings if he can get enough interest.

EMC Lifestyles - Friends of the Tweed Public Library will host an evening with local writer Jim Christy at the library on April 25 at 7 p.m.

Described as a polymath for his wide-ranging interests and the diversity of his books and articles, Christy has travelled widely in the world’s troubled spots from Cambodia to El Salvador and written about his experiences. Among his other titles are biographies (Jack Kerouac), fi ction (mystery nov-els), and poetry. His most recent book, Sweet Assorted: 121 Takes from a Tin Box, is a trip down memory lane based on various items collected throughout his life.

Christy has lived throughout Canada from Toronto to British Columbia and the Arctic. He now makes his home in Stirling.

Municipality to host three outdoor TV showscus on fi shing for Crappie on Sto-co Lake. The focus for Fish TV will be on the whole municipal-ity of Tweed and all of the adven-tures not just the lake. This show should be fi lmed within the next couple of weeks, as soon as the ice is off the lake, and the water reaches 56 degrees; they plan to fi sh in shallow water. These epi-sodes will be aired on the World Fishing network, Global TV, TV Tropolis and Rogers Sportsnet to name just a few of the networks picking up the shows.”

The second show to be fi lmed next fall and will be a muskie show fi lmed by Captured TV which will be aired on the World Fishing Network as well. The focus is on shoulder seasons in Tweed; one unique thing about the municipality of Tweed is the year-round accommodations and those need to be supported.

Rachelle went on to say the pro-ducer of Captured TV who is do-ing all the fi lming, (which will be a behind-the-scenes look at what a fi shing show is) will be fi lming from the air using helicopters by hanging out of the aircraft.

“This the top quality video and photos. It happens that the producer for that show actually caught a 52-inch Muskie on Sto-co Lake using a fl y; it is the larg-est muskie recorded in Canada and was caught just last year.”

Rachelle added that this spring they will be working with An-glers and Hunters TV, part of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, to produce a show about the spring turkey hunt. All three shows will be aired fall, winter and spring of 2013-2014.

“One of things lacking through-out the entire region is a photo and video library and through

Vantage Point Media, we own all the rights to the photos and vid-eos which can be shared with our townships and members which is a huge benefi t. The other thing is that when the shows air for Cap-ture TV, the Land O’ Lakes will have their own commercials aired throughout the broadcast.”

A total of ten shows will be produced within the Land O’ Lakes region by this fall that will be aired and rerunning all winter.

Rachelle said that over the last year the LOLTA has received over $189,000 in funding with $92,000 for festivals and events and $27,000 for the Land O’ Lakes Fishing Tournament.

Asked about the importance of Tweed as a partner with the LOL-TA she said, “In 1943 a group of visionaries came together with members from Tweed to form the LOLTA and since that time

Tweed has always been consid-ered the Gateway to the Land O’ Lakes. The partnership with Tweed has grown stronger over the last couple of years with the help of Tweed’s Economic De-velopment Offi cer, Joey Walsh.”

Rachelle said the focus is on branding “5,000 Lakes, 5,000 Adventures” and had some stag-gering statistics of why fi shing is the one niche market where they could “… really get a bang for the buck.”

The Canadian Sports Fishing Association said anglers spent a total of $8.3 billion annually cre-ating jobs in tourism, transporta-tion, retail goods and boating etc. By comparison liquor store sales had $6.1 billion, Tim Hortons had $5.6 billion and anglers contribu-tion to the economy is three-and-a-half times more than the Winter Olympics of 2010.

Mayor Jo-Anne Albert was at the grand opening and said, “Congratula-tions to Robert on his new clothing store. When I fi rst got in council in 2005

we had a study done and a clothing store was something people wanted in the area so you have defi nitely fi lled a gap. It is going to be greatly appreciated.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

By Terry Bush

EMC Editorial - “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion,” wrote Cyril Northcote Parkinson in 1955, and instantly cre-ated a whole new domain in the study of human affairs. “Parkinson’s Law” was one of the most profound insights of the past century, but he didn’t go far enough. There is a media corollary that doesn’t get nearly enough attention.

It is this: “International confrontations ex-pand to fill the media space available.” There is a lot of media space available nowadays, and a striking shortage of truly terrifying interna-tional threats, so the few modest ones that do exist are magnified to fill the scary news quota.

That’s why you hear so much about the North Korean nuclear threat, the Iranian nuclear threat, and the international terrorist threat. Unless you live in South Korea, or Israel, or lower Manhattan, none of these “threats” will ever disturb the even tenor of your life—and even if you do live in one of those places, it is still very unlikely.

The very unlikely did happen in lower Manhattan once, 12 years ago, but it is very, very unlikely to happen there again. Nevertheless, 9/11 is used to justify an ongoing “war on terror” that has provided long-term employment for several million people and justified well over a trillion dollars in “defence” spending over the past decade.

Which brings us to another law, the Shirky Principle: “Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.” In other words, armed forces, intelligence services and those parts of the foreign policy establishment that have prospered from “fighting ter-ror” will instinctively preserve that threat. They hunt down and kill individual terrorists, of course, but they also keep coming up with new terrorist threats.

Moreover, fighting terrorists does not justify aircraft carriers, ar-moured divisions, and planes like the F-35. Those branches of the armed forces need the threat of wars in which weapons like those might be at least marginally relevant.

Credible threats of high-intensity warfare are scarce these days, so you have to be creative. There is, for example, a remote possibility that

the inexperienced young man who now leads North Korea might be paranoid enough, and the generals who supervise him stupid enough, to attack South Korean forces somewhere. That might lead to a major war in the peninsula.

The probability that this would lead to the use of nuclear weapons in the Korean peninsula is vanishingly small. The likelihood that it could lead to the use of nuclear weapons elsewhere is zero. Yet this confrontation is getting as much coverage in the Western mass media as the Berlin crisis did in 1961—and the Asian media generally follow suit.

The same is true for the alleged Iranian nuclear threat. Iran is prob-ably not planning to build nuclear weapons, and there is no chance that it would launch a nuclear attack on Israel even if it did build a few. Israel has hundreds of the things, and its response would destroy Iran. Yet the Israelis insist that it might happen anyway because Iranians are crazy—and both Western and Arab media swallow this nonsense.

Fifty years ago, during the Berlin crisis, a single misstep could have led to ten thousand nuclear weapons falling on the world’s cities. Bad things can still happen when politicians miscalculate, but the scale of the potential damage is minuscule by comparison. Yet our credulous media give these mini-crises the same coverage that they gave to the apocalyptic crises of the Cold War.

Hence Dyer’s Corollary to Parkinson’s Law: International confron-tations expand to fill the media space available. Little ones will be in-flated to fill the hole left by the disappearance of big ones. The 24-hour news cycle will be fed, and military budgets will stay big. You just have to keep the general public permanently frightened.

That’s easy to do, because people in most countries know very little about the world beyond their immediate neighbours. They’ll believe almost anything the media tell them—and most of the media go along with the official sources because scare stories sell a lot better than headlines about the remarkably peaceful state of the world.

Humbert Wolfe’s judgement almost a century ago still applies ev-erywhere: You cannot hope to bribe or twist (thank God!) the British journalist

But given what the man will do unbribed, there’s no occasion to.

EMC Editorial - Seriously??? Justin Trudeau had barely been crowned Liberal leader when the Tory illuminati found it necessary to unleash at-tack ads, rolling out their first, in what will probably be a two and a half-year series of American-inspired nonsense.

Once again, the Conservative Party has dispelled the myth that Cana-dian politicians are a little bit classier than their American counterparts. Stephen Harper and crew must be really worried about this Justin fel-low to try to sully his image even before he’d taken his seat as Liberal leader. Why else would they even bother with such tripe without an elec-tion anywhere on the horizon. With only 34 seats and third party status, does anyone really think the Trudeau Liberals will sweep the nation next time round? After all, the return to power was a long time coming for the Tories, post Mulroney.

Do we, as Canadians, really need to stoop this low? Is it time for op-position parties to lower themselves and fight fire with fire?

In the Conservatives’ latest offering, Justin Trudeau removes his shirt to the sounds of carnival music as the propaganda rolls. Seriously, does removing one’s shirt to show an undershirt make a politician a target for character assassination? Considering the video was shot at a fund raiser to battle liver cancer, and Trudeau raised $2,000 for the cause, who are the real asses here. The Huffington Post might say the Tories fit the bill considering they used the video without permission.

One would have to wonder if our local Conservative MPs are on board with this negative way of doing business.

I for one, don’t want to be subjected to years of this rubbish every time I turn on the television set. And I don’t care who is behind it, Conser-vatives, Liberals, members of the NDP, it doesn’t matter, playing gutter politics serves no one well.

If the Tories or NDP are worried about Justin Trudeau, then squash him like a bug in the House of Commons. We’ll all see the replay on the news and laugh, same as we would if Stephen Harper or Thomas Mulcair found themselves under the bus. Political junkies don’t want any of that namby-pamby stuff. Politics is a blood sport many of us enjoy. If you act like an idiot, you deserve to be body slammed. But most sports have rules and some of these negative attack ads are definitely out of bounds. What kind of example are they setting for the youth of today who will see them ad nauseam? Are these ads really any different from the cyber-bullying that is front and centre in our society?

Many are just outright lies. Most take quotes out of context and all show the subject in the most unflattering light, the whole point of the exercise. Easy to do if you’re dealing with some of the recent Liberal candidates like Stephane Dion or the wooden Michael Ignatieff, the Grits American candidate for prime minister. But sometimes, negative ads backfire. Think Kim Campbell and the ads making fun of Jean Chretien’s face.

Maybe the Conservatives are worried this Trudeau guy is a different beast altogether. They say he has no experience but then again, neither did Stephen Harper and he’s done all right for himself. Most of the old guard of the Liberal Party is history, either retired at home or retired living the life of Riley as a senator. It’s almost like Trudeau and crew are starting fresh. Maybe that’s what’s got the Conservatives all flustered. Despite being saddled with his father’s last name, Trudeau the Younger certainly isn’t lacking in charisma, something sorely lacking in some of the other party leaders. He won’t win many votes in Alberta. Chances are he won’t do too well in Quebec. But the rest of the country, who knows. Maybe Canadians will think it’s time for a different sort of prime minister when the next election rolls around. Either that or they’ll figure the Liberals have just plain run out of electable candidates and are as committed to recycling names as their provincial counterparts are to renewable energy.

Either Justin Trudeau establishes himself as a serious candidate in the next couple of years or he crashes and burns like the Liberal leaders be-fore him. The Tories better watch it though. If the Canadian public is subjected to years of negativity before they head to the polls, they may just vote for anyone but the Tories.

Please … give us a break

Dear Editor,When you think of the consequences, you have to seriously pon-

der whether the provincial government’s Green Energy Act was really an intended conspiracy that had more to do with the redistribution of wealth than an environmental initiative.

The question surfaces because of the upsurge in the number of mu-nicipalities currently coming out in protest of the attempted installations of wind turbines. A citizens group is currently fighting to prevent a pair of ten-megawatt turbines from being located near Grafton and Cen-treton. Meanwhile, Ontario’s Conservative caucus is trying to get the Ensuring Affordable Energy Act approved because of major concerns being voiced by taxpayers.

Although I doubt the Liberals and NDP will go along with anti-green measures, the energy initiative makes a lot of sense. It would give municipalities the final say on whether wind turbines will be permitted in their specific areas. In addition, turbines would have to be considered affordable, meaning the cost per kilowatt hour must compare with other sources of generation.

The Act also eliminates the costly feed-in tariff (FIT) and munici-palities would have the ability to decide whether or not they want to promote wind energy. The Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine would be protected from turbines and municipalities would regain their planning powers so they can decide on environmental mat-ters instead of the province.

Green energy has been a complete misconception from the outset. You have to wonder whether it was spurred on by government duplic-ity. The Liberals knew they didn’t have the resources to bring it to real-ity so they simply forced the taxpayers to pay double and triple for elec-trical costs to fund what has been an economic catastrophe. Of course,

the greens and environmentalists turn a blind eye to the scam despite the fact that the government was all about grabbing billions to offer the needed green subsidies.

Have our brilliant government officials considered the consequences of these 500-foot turbines all over the countryside. Not really. For in-stance, in Denmark, the foundations of some 1,000 Danish offshore wind turbines are crumbling. Denmark now faces lawsuits over the li-ability and the yet unknown bills for repairs. Like Ontario, the Danes already have the most expensive electricity costs in Europe solely be-cause of the huge number of wind farms that clutter the countryside and the enormous green subsidies they attract. You, as an electrical user, are paying for those subsidies.

If you think that I’m just one little voice crying in the wilderness, consider that the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association (ROMA) and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture have also condemned the installation of turbines. A total of 79 municipalities have called for a moratorium on wind turbines. The Ontario Auditor General has also pointed out that turbines are not replacing coal-fired plants nor cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It means consumers pay twice for wind en-ergy while adding skyrocketing electricity costs that are a major threat to jobs.

We think former Premier Dalton McGuinty and other members of his caucus should be forced to appear before an independent investiga-tive inquiry board to answer why green energy was introduced at a time when taxpayers could least afford it. Seems to me it had more to do with left wing environmental bias than common sense.

EMC News - Stirling - While plans to build a permanent structure at the present location of the Stirling Farmers’ Market have been put on hold, vendors are preparing for the upcoming season and the official market opening scheduled for May 4.

Vendors from the market arrived at this week’s regular meeting of council to ask about the status of what is known as The Gateway Project, which is made up of several phases including the major construction already prepared for on the site of the

former police station. Other parts of the project, in-cluding signage, are going ahead as planned says Councillor Bob Mullin.

One reason for suspending the construction plans, says Mayor Rodney Cooney, is council’s consideration of the future use of the property and buildings on the site. He concedes it may not re-main in municipal hands, in which case the market would have to move.

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Belleville - The hearing into the conduct of Stirling-Rawdon Police Services Board Chair Greg Oliver won’t be over any time soon.

Panel members Noelle Caloren and Roy Con-acher adjourned the hearing at midday Tuesday to reconvene Wednesday for the remainder of the week, to hear testimony from PSB advisors in-cluding Brian Haggith and Paul Thompson, be-fore breaking until June.

Witnesses expected to appear beginning June 17 include Police Chief Brian Foley, former PSB Chair Shawn LaPalm and Belleville police officer Ron Travers.

The decision to adjourn the hearing until June came after OCPC lawyer Brian Whitehead in-tended to introduce witness Travers, but lawyer Patrick Hurley, working on behalf of Oliver, said the witness was unexpected and time was required in order to prepare for a cross-examination.

Whitehead told the panel that Travers will tes-

tify that Oliver had contacted the Belleville offi-cer to ask if the Stirling-Rawdon Police Chief had intervened in a motor vehicle accident investiga-tion under Belleville’s jurisdiction.

The hearing, which has been under way at Bel-leville’s Travelodge Hotel for the past two weeks, has been criticized by attendees for the lack of a sound system, offering only a limited ability to hear the proceedings.

Witnesses including Linda Philp, Cassandra Boniface, Rosanna Clark and Michael Regan have been questioned by Hurley and Whitehead regarding orders of business by previous and ex-isting board members as well as their conduct. Among the issues scrutinized carefully during the proceedings were the circumstances surrounding the alteration and extension of Police Chief Brian Foley’s contract, the release of that document to a member of the public, a speech by PSB mem-ber and Stirling-Rawdon AFP”Â”Äf1 B earing in early June.

EMC News - Stirling - It has been a long, cold, dreary winter. But now, as the grass turns greener and the days grow longer, it’s time to think about spring cleaning.

If you find yourself with a sudden, uncontrollable urge to clean up the garage, the basement, a spare room, or the shed, here’s a timely idea to make the job a whole lot easier.

“We’re offering you a chance to give something back to our community by donating some of your ‘treasures’ to Rotary’s Giant Yard Sale. As you sort through your stuff, we suggest you make three piles; things to keep, things for the dump, and things to be donated to our sale,” explains Stirling Rotarian Bill Stubbs.

The Rotary Club of Stirling is holding its 13th annual Giant Yard Sale, Saturday, May 4, in the parking lot of the Goodkey Service Centre at the corner of West Front Street and Frankford

Spring cleaning made easy …

Rotarian Bill Stubbs is busy collecting items for Stirling Rotary’s 13th annual Giant Yard Sale to be held Saturday, May 4, at the Goodkey Service Centre, West Front Street and Frankford Road in Stirling.

Road.“Kevin was quick to offer the use of his large corner lot for our

first sale 13 years ago,” explained a grateful Stubbs, “and we’ve been there every year since. We certainly appreciate his ongoing support.”

As always, a Rotarian will be pleased to come to your house to pick up any donated articles. Or, if you prefer, arrangements can be made to drop off items the morning of the sale. Simply call the number listed below.

“But remember,” notes Stubbs, “as much as we appreciate your generosity, we have no use for things already earmarked for the dump. So please, no old mattresses, sofas, or upholstered chairs. We’re looking for items you have no further use for but might fetch a buck or two at the sale.”

And since the Giant Rotary Yard Sale will be stocked with merchandise generously donated by members of the community, it seems only right that all proceeds will be used to fund local, Rotary Club projects. This year, Stirling Rotary’s focus is their in-volvement with the construction of a unique outdoor classroom to be built alongside the new Stirling Public School. The roofed structure will be approximately 24 feet by 36 feet with walls on three sides and seating around the edges. Rotarians will also as-sist with landscaping and other finishing touches. Construction is slated to begin this autumn.

Meanwhile, Saturday, May 4, is just two short weeks away and is one of the busiest weekends of the season with the Flea Mar-ket and Car Show at the Stirling Fairgrounds and, of course, the Stirling Rotary Giant Yard Sale. The sale gets under way at about 9 a.m. in the parking lot of the Goodkey Service Centre at West Front Street and Frankford Road in Stirling.

To arrange to have donated items picked up please call 613-395-2344 and a Rotarian will be pleased to drop by to relieve you of your treasures.

Hydrant flushing ensures proper flows for firefighting as well as insures a fresh supply to the residents. During hydrant flushing, sediment in the mains can be stirred up briefly causing dirty water. If this occurs please run your tap until the flow is clear. It is recommended not to do laundry during this period as it may cause stains on clothing.

The Municipality of Marmora & Lake Environmental Services Department Will Be Flushing Hydrants Between the hours of 08:00-15:30 during the next two week’s beginning April 22rd 2013. Your patience during this period is appreciated.

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - Prior to approving the municipal budget, which will mean an average three per cent increase for local ratepayers, Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rod-ney Cooney outlined the highlights during a public meeting immediately before the regular meeting of council earlier this week.

“We looked at every option,” Cooney says of the budgetary process for 2013 and into the future, thanking department heads for their input. Cooney also noted sig-nifi cant capital projects had to be 100 per cent ratepayer funded this year owing to a lack of grant money. Among them is the reconstruction of Church Street which will include sewer, water and sidewalk work as well as resurfacing.

Trillium and CIIF funding in 2013 will result in signifi cant upgrades to Stirling parks as well as in Spring Brook where funds have already been raised by the Coffi n family. Upgrades and the addition of new equipment is expected to be completed in June, says Deputy-mayor Wilf Shier.

Of the total $9.25-million budget, of which $3.2 million is collected through mu-nicipal taxes, Cooney says the municipality will spend $2.7 million on salaries, $3.6 million in operations, $2.7 on capital projects and about $1 million each for county and education levies.

Anchor of Hope centre is celebratedan evening of entertainment, information, and sharing.

The Kiwanis Club in Madoc fi lled with supporters for the dessert benefi t which highlighted events over past years.

Alice Haveman, who directed the Quinte community gospel choir for the event, shared how she and Marie Ros-nuk fi rst decided to approach the Belleville organization to open a centre in Madoc.

Both women worked in community service.“One day at a brown bag lunch we learned our region had

the highest rate of teen pregnancies in Ontario. We thought we should do something about that.”

Haveman said they contacted the Pregnancy and Family Care Centre and began the process to open a local branch around 11 years ago.

The centre was established at a house on Russell Street in Madoc “… rented from [local resident] Ron Moffatt for a greatly reduced cost; he was very generous.”

Kara Valinga took the position of on-site director and re-mained in that position for over nine years. In that time, Valinga said she dealt with individuals of all ages including women her mother’s age and very young teens.

Valinga said it is not always teens in a crisis pregnancy who came through the doors, but parents who needed guid-ance.

Current director Tara Flagler said the centre is about “mentoring.”

Over the years the centre has been there for at least 900 visits and has recorded 142 registered clients.

Recently, Anchor of Hope moved into the former parson-age of the Wesleyan and Free Methodist Church adjacent to the high school on Elgin Street in Madoc, sharing the facil-ity with the local Youth for Christ program.

Flagler said services are expanding to include two new services, a mom’s support group and a new parent pro-gram.

not enough money to go on. She hopes the community will consider the importance of caring and supporting the direc-tor and staff.

Statistics Canada says the structure of families in Canada has changed signifi cantly over the past 50 years. <www12.statscan.gc.ca>

“In 2011, lone-parent families represented 16.3 per cent of all census families. This was almost double the share of 8.4 per cent in 1961 when relatively more childbearing took place within marriage and divorce rates were lower.”

To access services in Madoc, Trenton or Belleville call the main offi ce at 613-969-7866 or access by Internet at <www.bellevillepregnancyandfamilycarecentre.com>.

The agency is able to assist with all aspects of pregnancy and family con-cerns for both fathers and mothers. Their mandate recognizes “… there are circumstances in which a pregnancy is viewed as a problem because of physi-cal, emotional, economic, social or un-timely factors.”

The Christian-based service offers support, education and connection to parents from all walks of life with the focus on non-judgmental mentoring.

Valinga says sometimes the job could be stressful and other times very rewarding and joyful .

“We listen to hurt and pain but must speak the truth and carefully offer solu-tions, but always speak the truth.”

She said over her years at the centre there were times when there was just

Council raises taxes, considers reducing costs

In most cases, explains Treasurer Roxanne Hearns, increas-es in municipal taxes will mirror assessments which saw an average three per cent increase. So for a $200,000 home now valued at $206,000 the increase will amount to about $90 per year, she says.

But there may be future savings to be realized if council can trim the more than $150,000 spent annually “just to keep the doors open” on municipal buildings, Cooney says. While noth-ing has been decided, he says council is currently considering several options including the possibility of deeming buildings as surplus to be sold off and taxed. Several properties are be-ing assessed, he says, suggesting buildings including the mu-nicipal offi ces, the public works buildings across the road and the public works garage on East Front Street be among those considered. He also urged residents to contact councillors to voice their concerns or pose any questions.

But there may be future savings to be realized if council can trim the more

than $150,000 spent annually.

Farmers’ MarketThe news came as a disappointment to Donna Russett and

Jocelyn Reilly, who had arrived at council to hear any news at all of the coming season, but they remain optimistic and plans are in full swing for a memorable opening Saturday, May 4, they say.

Live musical entertainment will be provided by local gui-tarist Travis Whiteman and the Quinte Bay Cloggers are also scheduled to perform. There will be free coffee on offer as well with a chance to enter this year’s fund-raising turkey shoot, which will be offering tickets to the Stirling Festival Theatre as prizes.

The market will be open Saturday mornings through the summer with a season-ending pumpkin carving contest set for the fall.

The market features fresh fruit and vegetables as well as arts and crafts and baked goods.


By Scott PettigrewEMC Sports - Tweed - The Jack Vance Corporate and Community Golf Chal-lenge has a new name and is taking on a renewed vigour for 2013 as organizers want to make this the best year they have had out of the six years the tournament has been played. The tourney is in support of the Tweed and Area Arts Council and is one of the principal fund raisers of the TAAC.

“This is our major fund-raising event of the year,” said Don Herbertson of the TAAC. “It supports the events that we put on as well as maintaining the Marble Arts Centre. We are typically able to earn between $5,400 and 8,000 from the tour-nament depending on the number of golfers and generosity of our sponsors.”

Don said the Marble Arts Centre opens this month with the Student Theatre group instructed by Becky Lockhart and Thomas Perry instructing kids from 8 to 14 years old; their showcase will be on April 27. Don said the Marble Church is taking bookings now for weddings, etc., and those interested in more information can contact Don at 613-478-2747.

Tim Porter has been a mainstay at the theatre and is taking a year off from IANA to regroup the company and Don said the TAAC would be very open to hearing from anyone interested in a production at the Arts Centre to fill the void

Bob Giguere is in his second year as chair of the golf tournament committee and said, “Last year was very successful with 11 teams of four golfers. This year the reason for the name change from the Jack Vance Golf Classic to the Corporate and Community Challenge is because we are trying to encourage businesses to put in teams. Last year we had four major prizes to give away as well as putting contest prizes. This year we will be selling three golf balls for $5 which will be used to hit the targets; you can buy as many sets of three as you want and you get to keep the balls.”

“Jack Vance was the founding member of the arts council along with Roely DeVries. He was a tremendous asset all along as an artist, as a board member and part of the committee that bought the church,” added Don Herbertson.

Jack Vance Corporate and Community Challenge set for June 9

The tournament committee consists of Bonnie Marentette, Bob Giguere, Meriel Child, Don Herbertson, Roely DeVries and Gerry Brinson.

Meriel Child said businesses are invited to make donations for prizes.

“We also want to emphasize the fact that you don’t have to have a team of four to enter but can come on your own and we will create teams when players arrive.”

The committee said they already have commitments for teams from the military, the OPP, Kiwanis, Lions Club, two Tim Hortons, local business, community and other regional groups.

“Once again this year we get to experience the great hospitality of Jack Rita and Ken Gorman, who are the proprietors of the Poplars Golf Club near Tweed,” said Don.

EMC News - Hastings County - Families seeking information about long-term-care home wait lists can now access a monthly report on the South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) public web site to help them make informed decisions. The report

includes the number of individuals on the wait list for each level of accom-modation within a home and the average number of beds that become available in each home.

“Choosing a long-term-care home is a major decision for individuals and their families,” said Jacqueline Redmond, CEO of the South East CCAC. “There is a lot of interest in long-term care and we are pleased to be able to provide this information to the public. It’s important that people have access to good infor-mation to help choose the home that is right for them.”

Over the past 12 months the South East CCAC has helped an average of 135 people access a long-term-care home each month.

There are a number of things that can affect how long an individual will wait for a long-term-care accommodation. For example, preferred accommodation such as a private or semi-private accom-modation will have a shorter wait time, but they cost more. How long you wait also depends on the size of the waiting list in each home and the urgency of your need.

You can choose up to fi ve homes, in order of preference. The more urgent your need, the more choices you will be encouraged to make. If you move to a home that is not your fi rst choice, you may stay on the waiting list for your fi rst choice.

There are 36 long-term-care homes throughout southeastern Ontario. Some homes are privately owned and some are non-profi t homes operated by mu-nicipalities or charitable organizations. All homes are licensed and inspected by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The standards of care are governed by provincial legislation and each home is accountable for the quality of care, programs and services it provides.

Long-term-care home wait lists now online“We are pleased to work with our long-term-care home

partners to make this information readily accessible,” said Redmond. “The report will be updated on the South East CCAC web site on the 15th of each month.”

To view the report, go to <www.se.ccac-ont.ca> and you will see a link on the home page.

For Hastings County the list includes AON Inc. Moira Place, Belmont, Caressant Care, Crown Ridge Place, E. J. McQuigge Lodge, Hastings Centennial Manor (Bancroft), Hastings Manor, Stirling Manor, Trent Valley Lodge and Westgate Lodge.

In Belleville, Hastings Manor has 253 beds on the list for basic accommodation, with 157 on a waiting list for those beds with approximately 610 days average waiting time. There are also 46 beds for semi-private with 374 on

the waiting list and 62 in private with 467 on that waiting list.

There are also homes in other counties in the southeast CCAC area. There is one home in Fron-tenac, four in Grenville, fi ve in Kingston, three in Lanark, three

in Leeds, fi ve in Lennox and Addington, one in Northum-berland (Maplewood) and four in Prince Edward County (H. J. McFarland, Hallowell House, Kentwood Park and West Lake Terrace).

EMC News - Stirling - The latest edition of the “Sunshine List” of public employees earning more than $100,000 per year saw the inclusion of seven mu-nicipal workers in Stirling-Rawdon, all of them police offi cers.

On the list are Police Chief Brian Foley ($152,515.99) Sergeants Colin Cook ($120,609.92) and James Orr ($109,601.71), Offi cers Tom Wilson ($105,257.99), Tom Reid ($101,909.49), Scott Burke ($101,125.87) and Darrin Heasman ($100,101.61). As well, each received taxable ben-efi ts worth about $500.

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - The annual Belleville and District Fish and Game Club HCAC Gun Show attracted more than 300 people this year, including a wide range of hunters, collectors and outdoor enthusiasts to check out a variety of wares on display.

“A lot of people that you didn’t even actually realize hunt come down,” said club president Mary Woodcock.

Taking place on Sunday, April 14, at the club facility in Belleville, roughly 20 vendors displayed rifl es, pistols, shotguns, swords, collectors items, general hunting equipment and more for interest-ed customers. The annual show has been running since 1991, and Woodcock said that part of the goal of the show is to help raise the club’s profi le and membership, and it seems to be working. The club can now boast over 150 members up from 85 last year, and Woodcock said thanks is due partly to the popularity of the show.

“[Vendors] are getting all different people,” Woodcock said. “Vendors like coming down be-cause they get people from [different areas].”

Russ Brownson has been attending the show for the past 15 years as a vendor, and said a major

draw is seeing a slew of familiar faces each year. Originally from Madoc, Brownson came from Pe-terborough for the show, looking to sell or trade parts of the small collection he brought this year.

“I like to see the people, you get to know the people that come here, both the customers and the vendors, and it’s nice to see them,” he said. “We like the atmosphere of shows.”

Brownson said the majority of customers are generally hunters, but there is a good mix of col-lectors as well.

“It’s mostly hunting equipment, but I mean guys that collect come too, because you never know what you’re going to fi nd,” he said.

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - Jim Alyea wants to know if sending buses to Queen’s Park will help their hospital (Trenton Memorial).

“They will be cutting $5 million more in the next fi ve years,” Alyea told coun-cil Monday night. “We have to do some-thing.”

Mayor John Williams said, “I have talked to the CEO and they won’t listen. Picton is sending three buses to Queen’s Park but they don’t want us to come. I don’t know if it will make a differ-ence.”

Williams noted that some small hos-pitals “went a different direction” by splitting from amalgamation. He has asked for the names of these hospitals to start a dialogue.

Alyea added, “I don’t even know who represents us.”

EMC Entertainment - Belleville - Talented singers and musicians from across the Quinte area will be among special guests of the Belleville Cho-ral Society for its spring concert, set for Sunday, April 28, at 3 p.m. in St. Michael’s Church, Bel-leville.

The concert, called “Baroque and Folk,” will feature selections from J.S. Bach’s timeless “Mag-nifi cat” oratorio to contemporary Canadian folk

hit, “Song For the Mira,” and a setting of Oscar Peterson’s soul song, “Hymn to Freedom.” Anoth-er baroque classic on the program is the haunting “Adoramus Te” by Palestrina.

Under the direction of Mirijam Spoelstra, the 40-voice choir literally awed a large audience at its annual Christmas concert in December. Spoelstra is aiming to build on that quality of performance

and repertoire.Guest performers will include Holly Gwynne-

Timothy, soprano, Kim Dafoe, mezzo-soprano, Gordon Gwynne-Timothy, tenor, Joel Bootsma, viola and The County Baroque Ensemble.

The audience will also be introduced to a young new local singing talent in the person of Billy Sue Johnston of Madoc, a Grade 12 student planning on vocal performance post-secondary education at Ottawa this fall. She is this year’s winner of the choral society’s scholarship, valued at $1,000.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for students (6-18) and are now available from members, at the Quinte Arts Council offi ce, St. Michael’s Parish offi ce and at the door.

While the April 28 concert effectively winds up the choir’s performance season, auditions will be held for the choir’s startup next fall on May 17 and 18 in St. Thomas Anglican Church. The choir is also looking for a competent accompanist.

Spoelstra said she is especially looking for so-pranos and tenors. Anyone interested in audition-ing or getting more information should contact her at <[email protected]>.

Council not impressed with hospital status

Williams said the board kicked the mayors off a few years back and there is no control over what is being done. He said they are still working on the lab issue.

“We will keep doing what we can do,” he said.Sally Freeman said that rather than a petition they have

sent 2,100 individual letters from residents.Williams noted, “The ministry is spending $6.5 million for

a new health centre. But that doesn’t make up for QHC. It’s great for downtown, but they don’t have $400,000 for a lab.”

Jim Alyea commented, “It’s a fractured system. That was not a wise decision.”

Freeman said they begged to have the health centre includ-ed with the Family Health Team. “We have doctors, yet they can’t be provided for in our building.”

Paul Kyte asked if the lab is defi nitely going out of TMH. Williams said it is scheduled for October 1.

By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - A contract for $225 million over fi ve years has been awarded to Cascade Aerospace from Abbotsford, B.C., to maintain the Her-cules CC-130H fl eet at 8 Wing Trenton.

A contract for $75.5 million was awarded to Cassidian from Munich, Germany, for new surveillance radar systems at six RCAF air strips including two at 8 Wing Trenton.

“This will ensure viability of the fl eet,” said Chris Alexander, parliamen-tary secretary to the Minister of Nation-al Defence at the ATESS radar facility at the base on Thursday.

He said the country continues to rely on air squadrons as their “eyes in the sky” with aircraft going to some of the most dangerous places in the world.

“This is a big part of Canada’s Eco-nomic Action Plan,” Alexander said.

Colonel Sean Friday said the base is involved in missions around the world, including the far north where the H-model Hercules are working in scientif-ic exploration. The heritage aircraft are involved in Search and Rescue missions day in and day out, as well as being used for jet refuelling. “Our crews are ready to go at any moment,” he said.

The base has 17 of the new Hercules-J models and several of the remaining 32 Hercules-H models in the fl eet. The older ones have been retired but the 1980s and 1990s models are still effec-tive. “We have to maintain the avionics

Contracts worth $300 million awarded to upgrade Hercs and radar

and stay up-to-date,” Friday said.Cascade Aerospace representative

Dwayne Lucas said they are very hon-oured to serve DND.

The radar replacement project will include installation over the next three to four years of seven new surveil-lance radar and secondary systems at 3 Wing Bagotville, Quebec, 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, 5 Wing Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, 8 Wing

Trenton (one system at an operational site and a second system as technical training for the Aerospace and Tele-communications Engineering Support Squadron), 14 Wing Greenwood, Nova Scotia and 19 Wing Comox, British Co-lumbia.

Alexander noted that the radar contract was awarded to a company in Germany which is very specialized. “Not many fi t the bill,” he explained. He said many Ca-nadian companies are con-tracted all around the world in an open economy and a fair procurement process.

Cassidian is the defence and security division of the Euro-pean Aeronautic Defence and Space Company.

MPP Rick Norlock said Canada’s aerospace indus-try is the fi fth largest in the world. “We want to keep it and grow it,” he said.

He noted the new radar system will replace parts that are 30 years old. “Radar is the eyes of the people who fl y,” he said. “We want to make sure it is kept up.”

He added this is part of the continued investment by the Canadian government in the military.

By Steve JesselEMC Events - Belleville - Area police will once again be strapping on their bicycle helmets this year, as the second annual Pedal for Hope Cycling Tour aims to raise funds and awareness for cancer treatment.

“The number of kids that are devel-oping or being diagnosed with cancer is alarming,” said Kim Guthrie, of the OPP Prince Edward. “I think this helps them know they’re not alone, and that people out there care, and we believe they’ll get better.”

Guthrie and 13 other Belleville Po-lice Service and OPP offi cers will be hitting the streets on their bikes begin-ning Monday, April 29, and will visit 26 schools in Madoc, Marmora, Frankford, Trenton, Prince Edward County, Bel-leville and Tyendinaga. All the schools raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society, and upon arriving the Pedal for Hope offi cers accept their donations and give a presentation on raising awareness for cancer.

“Police offi cers across the province are involved in many community events, and Belleville is no different,” Belleville Police Chief Cory McMullan said. “It’s an opportunity for the community to see that police offi cers truly are members of the community and face the same issues all of us face, and are out there to make the community a better place for every-one.”

Guthrie also took part in the inaugu-ral event last year, and said it was truly a special experience.

“The ride was actually life-changing last year; it was incredible,” she said. “The connection, the emotion, the ex-citement we all experienced, and the

Pedalling to make a di� erence

kids experienced, and it really just humanized po-lice offi cers in the kids’ eyes.”

Also joining the ride as a special guest this year is Evelyn Wilson, from Carrying Place. Pedal for Hope has a very special meaning for Wilson, as she lost both her twin brother and her 15-year-old daughter to cancer. While she won’t be biking her-self, Wilson said the campaign means the world to cancer families and their children.

“To have all these sponsors, and especially all these police offi cers give up their time … I know

many of them are giving up vacation time to do this; that’s just a really incredible thing for them to do,” she said.

Offi cers taking part participate on their own time, and the team will pedal for ten days and ap-proximately 400 kilometres this year. The tour is hoping to raise $50,000.

“I’ll never give up hope,” said Guthrie, who also lost a younger brother to a brain tumour many years ago. “There’s got to be a cure out there, and I hope I’ll see it in my lifetime.”

Riders and sponsors gathered at Bayview Auto in Belleville on Tuesday, April 16, to help introduce riders and the specially designed trailer that will be visiting local schools from April 29 to May 10 this year. Photo: Steve Jessel Weddings & Engagements

By Steve JesselEMC Sports - Belleville - The Bel-leville Bulls are off to the OHL Eastern Conference finals after a dominating showing over the outmatched Sudbury Wolves, and will now face the Barrie Colts for the chance to play for the J. Ross Robertson Cup, beginning with game one on Friday, April 19, at the Yardmen Arena in Belleville.

After winning the first three games of their semi-final series by a combined score of 14 - 4, the Bulls brought out the brooms and swept the Sudbury Wolves from the play-offs after a 5 - 0 win on Thursday, April 11. With his second consecutive shutout, Bulls goaltender Malcolm Subban has now not allowed a goal in over 135 minutes of hockey, while Bulls forward Tyler Graovac sits second in play-off scoring with five goals and 12 assists through 10 games.

Graovac was named the OHL’s 2012-2013 recipient of the William Hanley Trophy for the league’s most sportsman-like player of year this past week, after recording only 18 penalty minutes this season. Graovac also sat inside the top 20 in league scoring with 73 points, and

EMC Sports - Madoc - The Madoc and District Skating Club have wrapped up another successful season. The 20-week program on Saturday mornings at the Madoc & Dis-trict Recreation Centre introduces kids as young as three to skating through our Learn to Skate program, and continues to allow children to develop skating skills through the Skate Canada endorsed CanSkate program.

This year saw 11 skaters in the Learn to Skate program progress from being unable to stand on their skates to be-ing able to skate through a circuit around cones and under arches completely on their own! The skaters in our CanSkate program also showed great skill progression over the year as they gained speed and confidence.

At the conclusion of the season, all skaters participated in an end of year showcase, A Day at the Movies. The little ones showed off their ability to skate through the circuits and for the first time in a number of years, our Stage 4 skaters and higher, showed great confidence by completing a solo routine, in addition to their group number. It was a great way to wrap up the season. Thanks to the family members and friends that came out to cheer on the skaters. Thanks also to our wonderful head coach, Sarah Wannamaker and assistant coach Ryan Armstrong. The season would not have been as successful without their support and leadership.

Awards were also handed out at the end of year showcase. Congratulations go to Jayden Forestell for receiving the Can-Skater of the Year award for her hard work and dedication to progressing her skating skills this year. Congratulations also

By Judy BackusEMC Sports - Marmora - Once again, the Mol-son Spring Classic marked the end of the hockey season in Marmora. The annual event, organized for many years by Brian Phillips, attracted a total of 18 teams from both the general area and as far away as Niagara Falls for a weekend on the ice. Each team was guaranteed three, two-period, one-hour games, the divisions being Open, 35 Plus Competitive, 40 Plus Recreational and this year,

a Ladies’ Division, which Phillips indicated he thought would grow in the future. The first game of the tournament took place on April 11 with sub-sequent ones scheduled throughout the weekend, winding up on Sunday afternoon and evening with the semi-finals and finals.

Each year, the tournament results in a donation being made to a local project, such as the Marmora splash pad, which received $1,000 last year. This year’s donation, as yet an unspecified amount, will

Skaters spent “A Day at the Movies”go to Jenna Sawkins and Lauren Harvey for receiving the CanSkate Champion awards. This award is given to skaters who show a positive attitude toward skating and show up every week ready to learn and try their best.

As we look forward to next season, we would like to extend an offer to com-munity organizations and businesses who would like to contribute to provid-ing an opportunity for our local children to stay active, healthy and learn a life-long physical activity skill. A goal of the Madoc and District Skating Club is to keep fees low so that as many local children as possible can participate. In order to do this, we rely on fund raising and sponsorship to help with costs such as ice time, coaching fees and Skate Canada registration. Organizations who would like to help us offset these costs can sponsor a week of ice time for $100. A huge thank-you goes out to Theresa Dostaler, Synergy Research and Evalua-tion Consulting who has started off this campaign with a generous donation of $250. If you are interested in supporting the club, please contact Kathy Morgan, 613-473-2310, or Angela Harvey, 613-473-0256.

Watch for notices about next year’s registration in late August, early Sep-tember. Lessons take place on Satur-day mornings at the Madoc & District Recreation Centre. Learn to Skate (9:30 to 10 a.m.) registration is $150, while CanSkate (10 to 10:50 a.m.) is $180. Payment plans can be arranged. The club also has a few pairs of high quality figure skates that are available to rent for the year for the low cost of $25.

Conference � nals for the Bulls

narrowly edged out OHL Rookie of the Year Connor Mc-David for the award, garnering 43 points during the voting process to McDavid’s 42. Graovac will be presented with the William Hanley Trophy at the 2012-2013 OHL Awards Cer-emony set for Tuesday, June 4, at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

The Bulls will certainly need both Graovac and Subban fi ring on all cylinders when they face their toughest test of these play-offs so far in the Barrie Colts. The two teams met just twice this season with each taking a victory, however, through the fi rst two rounds of the play-offs the Colts have yet to lose a single game. After scoring 22 goals in a four-game sweep of the Kingston Frontenacs in the fi rst round, the Colts also swept the Oshawa Generals in four games in the Eastern Conference semi-fi nals. Barrie is led by Winnipeg Jets 2011 seventh-overall NHL draft pick Mark Scheifele, who record-ed 79 points in just 45 games this season, and has 16 points through the Colts fi rst eight play-off games this year.

The “Ultimate” sportBy Steve JesselEMC Sports - Belleville - Not all sports are played with a puck or a ball, and with the Belleville Ultimate Disc As-sociation (BUDA) now entering its second summer season, the league is looking for some new players to come out and swell their ranks.

“I really like the fi tness aspect and the camaraderie be-tween players,” said league representative Brice McCar-roll. “It’s really one of those sports where it bases itself on sportsmanship and having fun.”

While many know the sport as “Ultimate Frisbee,” the game is more colloquially known as simply “Ultimate,” and revolves around passing a Frisbee between team-mates in order to score points. While the summer league is ages 18 and over, the sport is appropriate for almost all ages and fi tness levels. McCarroll said that the learning curve can take a couple months to learn how to throw the disc properly, but that the rules of the game are simple enough.

“If you can run and catch, you can pretty much play,” McCarroll said with a laugh.

The BUDA summer season gets under way on May

21, and registration is currently ongo-ing through the month of April. After the inaugural season saw roughly 65 people come out and join the league, McCarroll is hoping for more like 80 to 90 players this season, in order to fi ll six teams.

“The fi rst year it was a lot of fun, people loved it, and we did a lot of learning as well because it was our fi rst year,” McCarroll said.

Games take place Tuesday nights at Albert College, and the season runs for 14 weeks. All skill levels are welcome and no previous experience is required.

“We take it easy, we don’t go hard-core,” McCarroll said. “The best way to learn is to come out and play.”

For more information, including how to register and the full rules of the game, visit the BUDA web site at <www.bellevilleultimate.ca>.

Iqaluit provides warm welcomeBy Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - After returning from the Great White North, and the northernmost point he’s ever visited, Zachary Brandt has hung up his skates for another hockey season, but he admits 2012-2013 will be a particularly memorable one.

After eight years wearing the black and white stripes, it marks his first year as an on-ice official at the Junior level and culminated with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Brandt, who lives in Stirling but currently attends Car-leton University, was one of four Ottawa-area referees se-lected by Hockey Canada to officiate a Midget tournament in Iqaluit, Nunavut’s capital located on Baffin Island’s Frobisher Bay, and a community of about 6,000 people.

Last weekend Brandt officiated his last four games of the season in Ottawa. The weekend before, in Iqaluit, there were 23 games of high level minor hockey on the schedule and not a tree in sight.

“We were flying up there and it was just snow and ice. Nothing but snow and ice and rocks,” Brandt says of much of the 2,100-kilometre flight north from Ottawa. And from the time they arrived on the ground, he says, they were treated as special guests to the community.

The population, Brandt says, is about half Inuit and half Caucasian, sharing an extremely remote but modernized community where the aboriginal culture and practices are

“Here, you always get people yelling at the refs.”

both prominent and separate but with plenty of common ground. Featuring a pair of arenas, the community’s core is not unlike that of a comparably sized Canadian town far to the south, he says, despite the distance to any other settlement.

On the outskirts, more snow and ice and rocks and “it’s windy all the time,” says Brandt. But the welcome the visiting officials received from the fans was like nothing he’d expe-rienced in a hockey rink. “They were so respectful of the referees,” he says of both the players and the spectators who attended throughout the weekend. “Here, you always get people yelling at the refs,” he says of contentious calls. “But there it didn’t matter what you called, they were just so grateful to have us there.”

The visiting officials also provided instruction and guidance for resi-dent volunteers who otherwise have little access to clinics or workshops to improve their skills or nationally sanctioned tournaments with highly experienced refs and linesmen to of-fer a few tips. And as the tournament wound down, the final game was ref-ereed by a local Inuit official “and he was pretty excited about that,” Brandt says.

With the hopes of pursuing a career on the ice, Brandt is completing his third year at Carleton with the inten-tion of returning in the fall to complete his commerce degree next spring. But before summer ends, he’ll be back on his skates in preparation for another hockey season as well.

Royal Canadian Legions across the country donate to memorialBy Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - A total of $160,886.46 was pre-sented to Mayor John Williams for the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial Fund from Legion branches across the country.

“We are renewing our pledge to the 158 men and women who died in Afghanistan,” said MC Ena Newman.

Dominion President of the Royal Canadian Legion Gordon Moore presented the cheque at the Legion on April 12. A presenta-tion had been planned at Bain Park but the ice storm was respon-sible for a quick change in plans.

Gordon Moore said the Legion donations were collected from 1,400 Legion branches across the country as an example of their support. “We had a fantastic response,” he said.

Mayor John Williams said the initiative for the memorial was started two and a half years ago because they felt it was important to have a place to honour the fallen at the start of the Highway of Heroes.

The mayor applauded the Legion for what it does every day for the community and the country.

Hugh O’Neil, who came up with the idea for the memorial, said the site is a beautiful place for families to come. “Soon the bay will be clear, the grass will grow and the fl owers sprout,” he said. “It’s a beautiful monument. It lists all the names of our war heroes. It’s the best thing we’ve ever done.”

There was a separate $1,000 presented by Everett Red MacLean from Legion Branch 110 to Gordon Moore for the Dominion Com-mand.

B2 EMC B Section - Thursday, April 18, 2013

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - The marriage of smart board technology and video-conferencing has helped Norwood District High School provide uni-versity level Grade 12 calculus to seven students who otherwise would not have been able to take the course at NDHS because of low numbers.

The twinning of NDHS with a math class at Campbellford District High School was “very successful,” says NDHS principal Mary Lou Steinmann.

“Technology is really helping us to offer courses to our students,” Steinmann said during a visit to council with local school trustee Shirley Patterson and public board superintendent Greg Ingram.

Steinmann talked about some of the school’s specialist programs and “specialized learning op-portunities” at NDHS which, like many in On-tario, particularly those in rural communities, is grappling with enrollment challenges.

“The staffi ng is just not [big] enough to be able to run a course for seven,” she said.

The solution, a smartboard-enabled seminar room at NDHS with video-cam and a classroom at CDHS. “One teacher but two classes.”

Steinmann said Norwood’s students visited CDHS every day for the fi rst two weeks so they could “feel comfortable with the teacher and the students” and so the teacher could get to know them as well.

The smartboard works in real time so anything written on the boards at NDHS and CDHS were immediately visible to students.

“You still have a teacher in front of you,” said Steinmann. “In the future I think it’s possible to do a course solely by videoconferencing.

“[The students] feel such a strong connection with the teacher even through the technology.”

The two schools are already talking about ad-

ditional video courses next year with NDHS run-ning a course for Campbellford students.

“We’re very pleased,” Steinmann said. “Be-cause we’re small we have to be creative.”

NDHS also offers 36 online courses for stu-dents through the KPR and Provincial School Board Consortium, she added. Students can take courses not offered at the school or those that don’t fi t their timetable.

Steinmann says 20 per cent of NDHS students head to university, 60 per cent to college and 20 per cent to the workplace.

She spoke about the school’s four Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs: forestry, hospitality, manufacturing and sports and fi tness.

Eighty-eight students (77 per cent) of NDHS students are enrolled in an SHSM program.

The school also has a partnership with Fleming College that allows them to earn dual credits in either manufacturing or hospitality.

Students travel to Fleming every Monday and “really enjoy going into the college environ-ment.”

For some students, she says, “something that was so foreign to them when they started” is now “doable.”

Co-operative education is another strong focus at NDHS, Steinmann said, thanking the commu-nity for “continuing to support our students [and] giving them a chance to see what the real world is like.

“It often helps them fi nd their niche.”NDHS is celebrated for the “broad variety” of

its extra-curricular activities, non-sporting and sporting; there are 23 clubs and activities, every-thing from the Gay/Straight Alliance and Javafest to the Duke of Edinburgh Challenge and Terry Fox.

“The high school experience is much more than the courses that we take,” said Steinmann.

War diaries will go to War MuseumColonel Sean Friday said he participated in the mission in Afghani-

stan in 2008 and “too many ramp ceremonies” there and here. The base was responsible for helping the families receive their loved ones with a great deal of care. “The whole country is behind the memorial,” he said. “When families come back here to the site I see by the look on their faces a real uplifting.”

Renay Groves presented war diaries to Gordon Moore and Sean Fri-day, saying it is a notebook for soldiers to carry on their missions. Some will end up in the Canadian War Museum. She said two captains from her regiment were killed on the same day. She noted that one person here, Sergeant Greg Huizinga, from Belleville, is a local hero who was in Afghanistan.

Huizinga said he used to ref soccer in Bain Park and is glad the me-morial is somewhere people can see it. “It’s a great spot,” he said.

Moore presented two Diamond Jubilee Medals to Howie Bonter and Gary Newman.

By Steve JesselEMC Entertainment - Belleville - The Big Music Fest will be once again taking the stage at Zwicks Park in Bel-leville this summer, as the festival lineup was announced early last week by organizers. Hedley, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Bleeker Ridge and Canadian music icon and

Big lineup for Big Music Festoriginal Guess Who singer Burton Cummings and his band will all make an appearance at this year’s edition, which takes place on June 22.

“We’re thrilled, we’re ready to go and we’re looking for-ward to it,” said Big Music Fest site manager David Joyce. “It’s a great way to kick off the summer.”

After last year’s Big Music Fest catered to a slightly younger audience, Joyce said he’s confident the acts this year will have a broader appeal. An estimated 10,000 people are expected at the festival this year, but with Zwicks Park ca-pable of holding up to 15,000, Joyce said that number could be even more with fans coming from as far as Montreal, To-ronto and the U.S.

“It fills the hotels, it fills the parks, it fills all the other ven-ues in town,” Joyce said. “It’s a good draw for Belleville, and trust me, it puts us on the map, in terms of music phe-nomenon.”

Ryan Williams, president of the Bay of Quinte Tourist Council estimated that the event injects over a million dollars into the community each year, and said that there are only two or three other events throughout the year that have that sort of impact in terms of tourism.

“It’s becoming more prevalent that we’re getting these great music festivals ... we are becoming known for that,” Williams said. “Anytime we can get this calibre of festival back to Belleville, it says a lot about the community and the Bay of Quinte region.”

Gates for the festival open at noon on June 22, with entertain-ment beginning at roughly 1:30 p.m. The event is fully licensed with a designated drinking area, and a large number of security staff and police on hand. There will also be a number of vendors offering a range of services. The festival runs until roughly mid-night, however, a ticket allows festival goers to come and go as they please. Tickets are now on sale at Best Western Hotel in Belleville, or online at <www.bigmusicfest.com>. General ad-mission is $64.50, and VIP passes are $84.50. Canadian rockers Hedley will be joined at Big Music Fest by Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Bleeker

Ridge and Canadian music icon Burton Cummings and his band. Photo: Submitted

Continued from page B4Finley, which was held recently in Co-bourg and then Norwood, to its finale fund raiser, the lineup for 2013 “pres-ents the full gamut of storytelling right from the spoken word to wordless mu-sic,” said Finley.

“We like to take Westben out into the community to expand our audience reach,” noted Bennett.

In June the Festival “celebrates the community even more,” with its annual Campbellford District High School music night featuring its jazz ensem-bles on June 8.

“Book of Broadway on June 9 will showcase Westben’s youth and teen choruses.

“The new chorus features girls from the youth choir and guys whose voices have changed,” Bennett said.

“It means we can sing in four-part harmony, bass, tenor, alto and soprano. The boys are having a great time,” she added, with excitement. The boys and girls range in age from 14 to 18 years.

The show is a musical storybook, in keeping with the season’s theme, featur-ing favourite Broadway moments from The Jungle Book and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat.

Still promoting its “stories that sing” Westben will be presenting Peter & the Wolf on June 16 narrated by the festi-val’s own Teresa Castonguay.

Well-known and highly respected retired music teacher Nancy Elmhirst will guide the newly formed Westben Wind Ensemble in its public debut, another first for the Festival.

“The big thing about that concert is it’s a show for kids of all ages. We haven’t done this for a few years and it sits well with our theme of stories that sing,” said Bennett, who pointed out that June has always been community month for the Festival.

Something new this season will see Westben hosting a pre-miere event Bennett refers to as its “Rule Britannia Weekend,” which begins with “Irish Pub Night” on July 12 featuring The Dardanelles, followed by “Burns to Brigadoon” on July 13 then “England to a Tea: This Sceptred Isle” on July 14 .

“It’s a themed weekend,” said Bennett.Keeping its sense of community centrestage Westben will

present “Words & Notes” on July 16 featuring two local authors, Judy Fong-Bates and Martha Schabas.

“Explore stories of home and home away from home as Judy and Martha read from their work and Brian performs Preludes from Rachmaninoff and from his own collection of evocative piano solos Preludes to Canada,” she explained.

The theatre’s finale fund raiser is called “Viva Italia.”And the performances at Westben don’t really end there.Christmas at Westben this year is being held November 23,

30 and December 1 and it is called Little Match Girl Messiah.“All in all I think it’s a very uplifting and varied season. Re-

ally exciting,” Bennett concluded.For tickets or more information call the Westben office, 87

Westben’s season to sing stories

By Judy BackusEMC News - Marmora - The second annual Siberian Husky Sled Dog Show-case took place at the fairgrounds in spite of very unsettled weather follow-ing the recent ice storm. On April 13, husky owners from Ontario, Quebec, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, arrived in town with a total of 51 dogs, all eager to participate, work-ing valiantly through rain and generally miserable conditions.

Put on by the Siberian Husky Club of Canada, the day-long event saw the working sled dogs evaluated in a total of seven classes with a panel of three judges looking at body structure, gait, temperament, conditioning and overall impression.

Prizes in each of the categories in-cluded the traditional ribbons along with dog food and sled dog equipment. Laddy, a two-year-old dog from Doug-las, Ontario, was named this year’s Best in Show.

The showcase, which last year was held in Havelock, was organized for the

second time by husky owner Abby Fal-lis of Havelock. She commented at the end of the day, which concluded with a potluck dinner and a chance to warm up at St. Andrew’s United Church, “As this is our second year, we are indeed hop-ing to make this a long standing annual event. It is a very different style of show putting breed function as the main focus. Often we hear of purebred breeds that have gone to such a focus on show ring wins that the breed purpose and health aren’t priorities. Exhibitors today all share a main goal: to ensure the Siberian husky remains a working dog.”

By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - The re-stored Trenton Junction VIA station is another success story. Train enthu-siast Errick Camolese told council Monday night that more passengers are now using the facility.

“This is our eleventh year of service since the restora-tion,” he said. “We had 8,800 passengers use the junction last year, up eleven per cent over the previous year.”

Since the restoration a total of 67,000 passengers have used the station, an average of 160 a week.

“This is a continued success,” he said. “We have To-ronto bound and a round trip to Ottawa. Continued usage would revive more, especially moving from Toronto east to Montreal. There is a real gap in service.”

Mayor John Williams thanked Camolese for his update and continued support of the junction.

Terry Cassidy encouraged staff to get VIA to extend services to an expanded schedule. “We need extra ser-vice,” he said.

Trenton Junction not just another whistle stop

Sled dogs arrive ... but not to race

One of the events held in conjunction with the April 13 Siberian Husky Sled Dog Showcase, was a class for veteran dogs over the age of ten. Shown are the winners, starting with Richard Block of New Hampshire with his dog Newt who placed first; Tammi McNamara and Fargo from Kentbridge in second; followed by Caroline Morin from Quebec, whose dog, Winter Festival, placed third; and Laurel Turansky who travelled from Bracebridge with her dog Keo who was fourth in the division.

Reality Check On Hollywood, love, and marriage

EMC Lifestyles - I love a good chick flick. Sure, I’ll watch Band of Brothers or Die Hard with my husband, but when he cuddles up and sits through Pride and Prejudice, I melt.

Unfortunately finding a decent movie

is often an exercise in futility. Most new releases gross me out. There’s too much horror or blood, and throw in a zombie or two and it’s supposed to be a block-buster.

Nevertheless, dig deep and you’ll find some gems. And increasingly lately I’ve been discovering that gems in the chick flick genre have less to do with falling in love and more to do with keeping a mar-riage strong. Hollywood does marriage better than it does dating.

Take the movie Crazy, Stupid, Love, which I thought I’d detest for the first 45 minutes, because it revolves around a younger, cooler guy (Ryan Gosling) teaching an older, just dumped guy (Steve Carell) how to attract multiple women. It seemed so shallow. But the ending is supremely satisfying (and comes with a twist we never saw com-ing). Both Gosling’s character and Carell’s ex-wife realize that commit-

ment and stability are actually far sexier than living an empty life, a lesson that Carell knew all along.

Or take Hope Springs and Date Night, two movies portraying married couples who have fallen into a rut. The reality of the way the couples relate to each other is just too perfect, and the central mes-sage, that commitment matters, and that having someone to walk through life with matters, is beautiful. In fact, most movies that focus on marriage, from It’s Complicated to Couples Retreat to Shall We Dance say the same thing: those flighty feelings of infatuation eventually fade, and life settles into a routine. Will you then commit and keep working at your marriage, or will you drift and lose one of the greatest potential sources of happiness in your life?

Yet if Hollywood believes the best marriages are those between two people who are committed to work at it, a very

intentional approach, why do they por-tray love as something over which we have no control? A couple is thrown together and they “fall in love.” They complete each other. And these feelings alone should make them want to marry.

Most of my professional life revolves around marriage, as I blog and write books and speak. In the mountains of emails from desperate women I receive every week, one of the most common themes I see is this: My now-husband cheated on me while we were engaged, but we got married anyway. Recently I caught him having an affair. Or: My husband lived with his parents until we moved in together, and now we’re mar-ried. I hold down two jobs, and he bare-ly works part-time. But he refuses to do any housework.

Reading these I find myself so frus-trated, because the warning signs were there. Why would you marry a total

couch potato? Why marry a lying cheat-er? Because you love him, of course! And love will magically transform him. We can’t ignore those feelings, right?

Except that scientists say those feel-ings last, at most, eighteen months. And then you hit that rut and you’re in trouble.

In dating romances, Hollywood gives us this idea that it’s feelings that sustain a marriage, not the character of the two people involved.

Yet if all your friends and family think he’s a lout or are sure she’s flighty, you should likely listen to that, no mat-ter what you’re feeling.

Maybe we need to start applying the same principles to dating as we do to marriage. It’s character that counts, not just feelings. That’s a lesson Jane Aus-ten tried to teach us long ago, and per-haps we could all do with a little more Austen and a little less Zombie.

EMC Lifestyles - My friend, Doug Green, posted a picture on his web site of an ice-encased shrub and he waxed ever so eloquently about the beauty of Mother Nature. My wife posted a pic-ture of our three-stem birch clump also enveloped by ice. It was no longer beau-tiful; it was lying down on the ground. Yesterday I sawed off the ragged stumps. I also took the time to clean up the 40-foot piece of a Siberian elm which had pulled away from its main trunk and landed smack on top of our 30-year-old Bosc pear tree. I sawed up the latter one, too. Doug was right to remark on the beauty of it all but perspective is every-thing, right? There is a line in the Dave Gunning song “We’re All Leaving” that also comments on the “beauty of it all” as a person is pulled under the surface of the ocean by a rip tide.

O&S#2 Alison DaviesI have just finished reading Alison’s

column, “More About Life,” detailing her experiences planting a cedar hedge. I didn’t laugh but I did smile. I don’t think there’s a gardener on the planet who hasn’t done an “oopsy.” The neat thing about plants, including cedars, is that they are very forgiving and will do their utmost to survive our best intentions. When we purchased our current home

over 25 years ago, JoAnne Halloran left us with some wonderful gardens … with one exception. Along the east fence row the bridal veil spirea hedge was infested with a truly ugly weed. If dandelions chowed down on steroids and became uberthugs, they would look the same. I worked at pulling those things out for years with little success. One day, I saw a heritage house with the same problem. A few days later, as I passed the same house, I saw the most marvellous bed of oriental poppies! Oopsy.

O&S#3 Smart plantsLast week, when I wrote about mag-

nolia scale, I mentioned that the buds were about to open. Since I wrote that piece, the temperatures plummeted and the ice storm came and buds have still not opened. Many of our daffodils, tu-lips, hyacinth and spring ephemerals have poked their tips above ground. They did this almost two weeks ago; they haven’t opened up either. A few snow drops and even a couple of crocus have shown a colourful flower but that’s it. You know something, Gentle Reader? Until I see all of those bulbs blooming, I’m not going to even think about winter being gone.

O&S#4 Toucan is returned!A few weeks ago we reported that our

young cat, Toucan, had stepped outside one evening and did not return. We did everything we could to find her, includ-ing disturbing a few neighbours when they saw me prowling their backyards and under their decks. We received several phone calls and each time we checked out the cat, we were disappoint-ed to find a feline with similar character-istics but not “Tewks.”

We were hoping someone had found her wandering and had taken her in. Frankly, we had given up.

We received a phone call from a young lady who believed they had found her. We were dubious because these folks lived on the other side of the river, several miles from us. But … they said they read the vet’s phone number on her tags and, when they called up

Hillcrest Animal Hospital (thanks Hill-crest) they were given our phone num-ber. We checked out the call and, sure enough, it was Tewks. So thanks are extended to the young lady for making the call, thanks to her dad who managed to feed Tewks, and thanks to Providence for getting our cat back to us. Tewks was so relieved to be back she willingly sub-mitted to a tongue-bath from Sox, who was equally happy.

O&S#5 Corn gluten and seedingYou have an opportunity, once the

ground has dried up sufficiently and the soil temperatures are cool, to overseed your lawn. If we don’t experience an ex-ceptionally cool and wet spring, the seed should have ample time to germinate before the warmer season weeds show up. Remember that many of the weeds

O&S#1 Ice storm

you will see now, such as dandelions, are second year offerings and not this year’s new crop. Once you have mowed the new grass once, you can safely ap-ply corn gluten as both a fertilizer and a weed suppressant.

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - Water fluoridation remains a contentious issue in many municipalities in Canada. The great debate continued at council on Monday night with a report brought for-ward by director of Public Works Chris Angelo.

“Is the whole city fluoridated?” asked Councillor Paul Kyte.

Angelo said only Bayside water is fluoridated. Trenton and Frankford and Batawa are not.

“You can smell it in the water,” Kyte said. “I don’t like it.”

Angelo said Bayside water was fluo-ridated after residents in South Sidney voted to have it added to the Bayside water treatment plant in 1995. It was a question on the ballot.

“If council is looking at removing it you would need public input,” Angelo

said.Ron Hamilton said residents wanted

it at the time the plant was built. “It helps children’s teeth,” he said.

Mayor John Williams said it is a democratic process to include what the people want.

Leslie Roseblade added, “There is a lot of proven information that it is a good thing and would benefit all the community.”

Ron Hamilton said they discussed it at the Health Unit. “They would like to see it stay,” he said.

Don Kuntze noted it is municipal water only that is fluoridated and many people are on wells.

Terry Cassidy said the information in this report is positive but there are other sides that are not highlighted. “Others have the opposite point of view,” he said. “We need to revisit all the plants and have a public meeting, a plebiscite on this issue. We need to keep our minds open.”

Paul Kyte noted that cities like Kitchener and Windsor have decided to remove fluoridation because of other negative effects.

Is fluoride in your drinking water healthy?

EMC Entertainment - Belleville - Belleville’s world-famous Quinte Bal-let School will be front and centre in celebrating International Dance Day on Monday, April 29.

The school will hold an open house with free instruction in simple dance routines staring at 6 p.m.

Ballet school instructor Kareem By-field will teach participants the basic moves of a dance that can be done after outside, weather permitting, as a “flash-mob” event.

Ballet school officials said the move-ments for the mass dance will be “fun and easy.”

The school will serve cake and coffee following the dance while Quinte Ballet School Artistic Director Cathy Taylor will read the “official global message,” a Dance Day tradition since 1982 when the day was founded by the International Theatre Institute as a memorial to Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810) recog-nized as the creator of modern ballet.

A key member of the Quinte area’s cultural community, the Quinte Ballet School has been serving students from the area, across Canada and abroad for

Dance day is comingmore than 40 years. The school invites participants of all ages and interests to share their love of dance as part of this special day.

Ukulele master offers music lesson at Madoc schools

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Madoc - Students at two area schools were treated to an impres-sive display of some serious musician-ship last week when James Hill arrived with his humble ukulele.

Hill, a talented professional musician who has crossed the country perform-ing and teaching, has been dubbed the “Wayne Gretzky of the Ukulele” by CBC Radio host Stuart McLean and his presentation for local students was as engaging as a Stanley Cup final.

After visiting Madoc Public School last Wednesday morning, Hill continued on to Madoc Township Public School for a late morning lesson there followed by an early afternoon concert. And, says Madoc Township music teacher Deb Chatreau, students there have been privileged in recent years as his visit marked his return engagement since the school’s instrumental music program was launched. “He visited MTPS three years ago to kick off our ukulele program and we are thrilled to have him back again,” she says. Now with a school collection of about 50 instruments, available to stu-dents on loan, Chatreau says the program is a very popular one and Hill’s perfor-mances have been a definite highlight for both students and teachers. Blue Skies in the Community, she adds, have been ex-tremely supportive of the program, offer-ing funding for the instruments.

In the classroom, the singer/songwrit-er who has released several CDs of his own compositions led students through the basics of the instrument while show-ing off its versatility and his own love of music. Music teachers, along with school board arts co-ordinator Susan Davies, were also on hand, playing along with the rest of the students and equally engrossed in the experience.

In the classroom or not, music can be infectious.

And Hill is quick to admit his affair with the uke began as an eight-year-old in British Columbia with a mandatory music program. In the ensuing years Hill has gone on to become a world-renowned musician but he still reflects on those early days and returns to the

classroom on a regular basis. Though, he admits, the frequency of his school trips are suffering at the expense of oth-er musical commitments.

“I used to do it more,” he says of class visits, “but I’m a lot busier now. I still try to [offer classroom workshops and school concerts] as often as I can.”

Madoc Public School teacher Jen Curtis says the students are easily in-spired by Hill’s talent as they can see just what the ukulele can do. And Hill says while it’s not always simple, it is possible to play anything on the uke, adding he at times joins forces with a cellist to perform.

Following the instructional section of his workshop, Hill was encouraged by the students to play a video game theme from Mario Brothers but he admits ow-ing to his inability to master the game, he only knows the first verse. And that, he says, was no simple tune to learn.

Following the classroom session, Hill performed a concert for the school in-cluding original selections from his re-cordings.

TRAVEL

Holland’s historic windmills are best viewed at Kinderdijk

I take a cruise on the Nehalennia from Rotterdam to Kinderdijk.

By John M. SmithEMC Lifestyles - Kinderdijk is a tiny village just east of the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, at the confl uence of the Lek and Noord rivers, and here I found a group of 19 windmills that were mostly built back in the 16th century. Now a designated World Heritage Site, it’s the country’s largest concentration

of historic windmills, and it’s defi nitely worth a visit.

I was staying at the beautiful Inntel Hotels Rotterdam Centre in one of the largest ports in the world—Rotterdam—often referred to as the “Gateway to Eu-rope.” I took a boat cruise from the near-by quay, below the fl ag-lined promenade (the ticket booth is located just east of

Rotterdam’s landmark Erasmus Bridge), to Kinderdijk. I boarded the Nehalennia in Rotterdam, and I then cruised along this city’s picturesque waterfront, before continuing the excursion to Kinderdijk about an hour’s journey away. I then had just over an hour to explore this Heritage Site on my own before returning to the boat and making the return trip to Rot-terdam; the entire excursion takes about three and a-half hours. The round trip costs 14 EUR for an adult, and reserva-tions are recommended. The boat leaves from Rotterdam at 10:45 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. daily (except Mondays) from April to October.

Once I arrived at Kinderdijk, I walked along a footpath on a dike, between two canals, for an up close and personal look at these old structures; there was also a separate cycling path. I discovered that eight of the windmills (built in 1738) were made of stone/brick, eight (built in 1740) were thatched-roofed wooden structures, two were built of stone a bit later (1760), and one (the oldest of them all) had been restored (the origi-nal having been built here in 1521). The windmills were built to drain the excess water from the Alblasserwaard polders (low-lying marshes enclosed by dikes) and since much of the Netherlands was below sea level, this system of drain-age was incredibly important. By 1869, these windmills received assistance from a steam-driven pumping station, which was replaced by a diesel pump-ing station in 1927. In the 1970s, a new diesel pumping station was built (one of the largest water pumping stations in Europe) and this one is still in opera-tion today. It contains three big “cork-screws,” which pump the water out of the polder and into the river. If needed, the old windmills themselves are still operational, too.

I discovered that each windmill had two doors, and this was so that people could always get out without hitting a blade, for the blades always faced the wind and the direction of the wind could certainly change. The powerful mill

sails were used to transmit the force of the wind on to

large paddle-wheels, which scooped up the water, and I was told that as the sails became worn, they needed repairs. When a hole was found in one of these large sails, it would be patched. Howev-er, when there were a lot of holes found, the sail would ultimately be replaced, and the old sail would then be used in the making of children’s clothes.

The collection of 19 historic wind-mills at Kinderdijk is quite a sight, es-pecially when the wind is gusting and they’re in full spin, with those massive sails coming so close to the ground. Most of these well-preserved mills, nestled along a network of canals, are privately owned and inhabited. However, one is kept open for the tourists; the “Bezoek-molen” (Visitor’s Mill) and here I was able to look inside a fully operational windmill, preserved in its original form, and the miller was even available to an-swer questions. There’s a fee to visit this particular windmill, but it’s included with the cost of the boat cruise.

This particular historic windmill at Kinderdijk is kept open for the tourists to view.

The country’s largest collection of historic windmills is found at Kinderdijk.

There’s a kind of serene beauty found in Kinderdijk among this network of historic windmills and I was pleased that these were not replicas or museum exhibits. Rather, they are the “real” thing—in their original location—and this is the best place in all of the coun-try to see old working windmills and the only place to see such a large concen-tration of them. Therefore, Kinderdijk is a very popular tourist attraction but, unlike so many other destinations, this one is not expensive to visit. In fact, ad-mittance is free—and it can be visited at any time. However, it’s best to come on a summer weekend, when all the mills are working (if suffi cient wind is blow-ing).

The boat cruise to Kinderdijk makes for a very nice half-day tour from Rot-terdam, but it’s also accessible via car, bus, and bicycle. While visiting Kin-derdijk, you can walk the footpath, rent a bicycle, or take a canal cruise. If you’re visiting there in early September, you can even witness the windmills all lit up at night, when the special “Mills in Floodlight” event takes place.

“You Can Rely On Our Service”


EMC News - Northumberland - Canned goods, packaged products and other food items will not be the only things available for people using local food banks this spring.

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit is reaching out to food bank clients in Cobourg, Port Hope, Hastings, Camp-bellford, Warkworth, Bewdley and Brighton, stated a press release.

During “Oral Health Month” in April and over the ensuing weeks, health unit staff will be visiting local food banks to distribute toothbrushes, dental floss and other oral health re-sources. Special efforts will also be made to share information with local families about financial-support pro-grams that can offset the costs of den-tal treatment.

One of these is the Healthy Smiles Ontario program, which can cover the costs of preventive and early dental treatment for children and teens up to age of 17 years.

“Our goal is to talk up the impor-tance of good oral health and provide information about Health Unit pro-grams and services that may be able to benefit local residents,” says Anna Rusak, an oral health promoter with the HKPR District Health Unit.

To date, local food bank opera-

tors have been very supportive of the health unit’s outreach. According to Rusak, making connections with people through area food banks is also beneficial for the Health Unit.

“Frequently, people only call us when there is an emergency,” Rusak notes.

“We’re hoping that through this initiative, we can reach more people before there is a problem by providing them with information about preven-tive dental services and programs.”

In addition to Healthy Smiles On-tario, the health unit also administers two other dental support programs: the Children in Need of Treatment program and the Ontario Works Den-tal Program.

Between the various financial-sup-port programs, hundreds of thousands of dollars are available each year to help local families cover the costs of urgent and preventive dental care.

According to a recent Public Health Ontario report, among Ontarians who did not visit a dentist in the past three years, one in five people cited cost as a barrier.

For more information about oral health and financial-support programs, local residents are encouraged to call the Health Unit toll-free at 1-866-888-4577.

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - Just un-der 100 people gathered outside MP Daryl Kramp’s offices on Tuesday, April 9, to protest the spread and sale of genetically modified (GM) alfalfa in Ontario, and in talking to protes-tors it was clear that those involved were legitimately frightened about the potential repercussions of such an action.

“We’re petrified,” said National Farmers Union local chapter 334 president John Della Bosca. “The inevitable contamination of all the people that grow alfalfa, whether you want to or not, it will happen.”

Organized in part by the National Farmers Union (NFU), the protest joined dozens of others taking place across Canada and Ontario. While GM alfalfa was approved for Canada in 2005, no variety has so far been ap-proved for commercial release, but that could change soon. NFU member John Wilson said there’s a very real possibility that GM alfalfa is approved in Ontario as soon as this spring, which is why they felt a demonstration was their best course of action.

“The problem is that we’re all part of this enormous genetic modification experiment, where nobody knows where it’s going to lead and what’s going to happen,” Wilson said. “What we do know, is that genetically modi-fied alfalfa, because it is a plant that grows just about everywhere, will cross pollinate with other wild alfalfa and eventually it will even get into organic alfalfa crops.”

Aside from health concerns, Wilson said this will have an adverse affect on alfalfa farmers who choose not to use GM alfalfa, as once the new strain cross pollinates with organic crops lo-cal farmers will no longer be able to market themselves as “GMO free.”

“There’s no taking it back … once you have [GM] alfalfa out there it will

spread; it will cross pollinate, and it will change everything as we know it as far as alfalfa goes,” Wilson said. “We wanted to let Mr. Kramp know that not all farmers are for this, and many of us are against it.”

As part of the demonstration, the protest delivered a letter to Kramp’s office detailing their concerns about the spread of GMO’s into Ontario. Della Bosca said the protest wasn’t just about farmers, but also about fu-ture generations of Canadians.

“It’s a serious concern for not nec-essarily me, but my children, grand-children, because there are things that are linked to genetic modification that really get swept under the car-pet,” Della Bosca said. “We want the message to go out to the population

because people don’t necessarily know what GM means. We want people to become more and more aware that our food supply is being tampered with.”

Not everyone at the protest was a member of the NFU. Along with representatives from the slow food move-ment and other local farmers, Nadine Bertelsen from Madoc described herself as an ordinary person, and said that a large part of the protest was simply spreading the awareness of what GMOs are.

“We eat this food, our children eat this food … we don’t know what it’s doing to us; it’s very frightening,” she said. “If we don’t take a stand somewhere it’s just going to happen, and I feel like I want to be part of a solution.”

kindness and compassion shown to us during the past weeks. The visits, phone

By Scott PettigrewEMC Lifestyles - Tweed - Terry Sprague came to Tweed and spoke at St. Andrew’s Church as the first of three guest speakers to a nearly sold-out house. He was invited by the Tweed Historical So-ciety.

Terry has written a column for the Tweed News for the last ten years and has written 48 years for the Picton Gazette. He also now has his own busi-ness called Nature Stuff Tours where he does guid-ed hikes and private tours.

“I started this line of work at Sandbanks Pro-vincial Park where I was a guided hike leader and I fell in love with taking people out and telling things about the park; not only identifying things but explaining how certain flowers fit into the nat-ural scheme of things and why they are there and how things tie in together.”

Terry grew up on a farm on Big Island and still lives there. His first job was at Glenora Fisheries Research facility and after five years he was of-fered a position at Sandbanks as an Interpretive Naturalist after which he went to Quinte Conser-vation where he developed the guided tour pro-gram. When they pulled he continued the program

Terry Sprague attracts a big audience

Terry Sprague visited Tweed and gave a very inspiring talk about the natural beauty of Prince Edward County. Photo: Scott Pettigrew

on his own.The talk he gave in Tweed was a program he put

together at the request of the Prince Edward Stew-ardship Council who happen to have their office located just north of Tweed.

“We felt there was so much natural heritage in Prince Edward County that people were taking for granted we wanted to put together a presentation about the county. We are all somewhat guilty of taking the natural beauty around us for granted; we wanted to point out some of the special things like the sand banks, the natural features and some of the history.”

Terry’s slide show and presentation gave the au-dience a 360-degree view of Prince Edward Coun-ty complete with geological detail of the formation of the land, the type of plant and insect life, how the sand banks were formed and the history of days when the trees were removed and the sand banks shifted and began burying houses and large plots of fertile land. He had stories of the barley days and rum running and at the end he talked about the South Shore and the importance of protecting the bird migration that takes place every year.

After he was finished he had a question period and the subject of wind-generated electricity came up. He expressed real concerns about how this would affect the “… delicate natural biodiversity. The developers seem to think that you can simply take a shovel and move all the wild life but it is not that simple. Migration patterns in birds for ex-ample take hundreds of years to develop and they will fly into those windmills at night which is when they migrate.”

Terry finished his talk with the following, “My message is to cherish these areas that you have in Tweed and protect and enjoy them because once we lose them, they are gone forever. If an opportu-nity comes along to purchase an area or somehow set it aside I say go for it! As our human population explodes it will be harder and harder to set these ar-eas aside for future generations and it is important we preserve these natural gems for the future.”
