By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton Ladies at the Officers Mess had a special Spa Night last week, raising funds for the local food bank.

“Our numbers are in-creasing,” said Care and Share Food Bank manager Al Teal accepting $700 from the ladies club. “We serve 350 to 400 families a month now.”

Teal said seniors are using the service more and more, along with low wage earners and those on social assistance or un-employed.

“The seniors numbers are up nineteen per cent,” he said.

He added that with the lack of volunteers grow-ing produce at the Quinte West Community Gar-dens this year, the food bank will be even harder hit.

“They used to give us a ton of food every sum-mer,” he said. “Now they have no volunteers.”

Kim Holden, president of the Officers Mess La-dies Club, said the group decided to make the Food Bank their charity for the Spa Night this year so it would make an impact in the community.

“We felt we could affect more people this way,” she said. “The food bank is very needy this time of year, especially after Christmas.”

She noted the ladies in the club with their guests enjoyed an evening of spa treatments. Local busi-nesses donated their time to do nails, makeup, and massage therapies, and a group of Tarot Card read-ers provided readings. There was plenty of wine and refreshments.

“It’s good exposure for the businesses,” Holden added.

This year estheticians from Loyalist College did not take part, but there were enough new busi-

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West The Planning Advisory Committee is looking at the status of methadone clinics for consideration.

“We are recommend-ing to proceed with a public consultation process,” said Charlie Murphy, director of Planning and Development Services. He said policies have to be included in the Official Plan to specifically direct where and how meth-adone clinics are located within the city.

“We require a commu-nity consultation process as a proponent of the clinic,” he noted.

A community services and facilities study would outline details about levels of service, health and safety of local residents, parking

and traffic concerns, how many patients are to be served, site building, layout and location.

“Policies include not being permitted adjacent to sensi-tive land uses,” he added.

It is recommended that the city work with the LHIN, Community Health Centre and the Centre of Mental Health and Addic-tion to establish a commu-nity working group.

The city had passed a by-law to prohibit new metha-done clinics on May 16, 2011, pending a study and completion of a final report, for one year. The bylaw has been appealed to the Ontar-io Municipal Board by Dr. Sheena Smith and William Burns and Bernard Fitzger-ald. No hearing date has been scheduled.

“The purpose of this re-port is to update the com-mittee on the status of the work completed to date by staff,” Murphy said.

Staff have been reviewing information on methadone clinics from other munici-palities and assessing the impact a clinic would have on the city.

Staff have also been learning about opiates and methadone maintenance treatment. What was created to treat people with heroin dependence has expanded to treat people with addictions to all opioid drugs includ-ing oxycodone, an addiction which experts say is becom-ing an epidemic across On-tario.

Methadone Maintenance Treatment is referred to as Harm Reduction Treat-

ment, commonly used to treat clients with various drug addictions. Methadone is a synthetic opioid drug that is an effective and legal substitute for treatment of opiate addictions. It was de-veloped in Germany during World War II by scientists to relieve pain. It helps pre-vent the transmission of the HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C viruses by reducing the fre-quency of addicts injecting drugs and sharing needles. It reduces criminal activ-ity and helps reduce deaths caused by overdose.

Experts from the College of Physicians and Surgeons and from the Centre of Mental Health and Addic-tion have indicated the need for methadone maintenance treatment is increasing in communities.

Torch for Life hopes to encourage organ transplantsBy Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West Khaled Khatib stopped at city hall on February 16, greeted by Mayor John Wil-liams, MPP Rob Milligan and his two daughters Linda and Samantha. They all held up the torch together.

“We hope people learn more about organ trans-plants,” said the mayor; he noted that Milligan was working through Queen’s Park to bring out a bill to encourage more donors.

Khaled, who is 21, also stopped in Belleville on his way to Brighton. He is run-ning from Ottawa to Toron-to, a distance of 498 kilome-tres; he began the run Feb-ruary 5 on Parliament Hill and will finish at Queen’s Park February 22. He hopes to help his friend Anthony

get a kidney transplant while encouraging others to help save a life.

Anthony is 28 years old. He was born with a rare disease called Fabry’s. This disease attacks the heart and kidneys.

He currently has an en-larged heart and two com-pletely destroyed kidneys. He wants to help the over 4,000 other Canadians that are waiting and living the way he is. The family has recruited Step By Step, and Khaled Khatib to join forces with Anthony. Together they will try to inspire as many people as possible, first by a short film, followed by an amazing 498-kilometre walk by Khaled. He will car-ry the famous Torch Of Life lit every step of the way, and he will be webcast live on

<www.torchoflife.com>. He wants Anthony to receive his kidney so he could join him when he walks across Canada next year.

Spa Night fun for all

By Ray YurkowskiEMC Events - Brighton - The first-ever Brighton His-tory Open House will be up and running this weekend at the King Edward Park com-munity centre.

The Heritage Advisory Committee event is a cele-bration of Ontario Heritage Week and, says chairperson Dave Cutler, “It’s going to be a really significant event.”

“Working with the com-munity and other groups to build awareness of Brigh-ton’s heritage is a major thrust for us,” he said. “We’re moving toward looking at the whole heri-tage picture, rather than just the buildings.”

Local historian Dan Bu-chanan brought the concept to a HAC meeting last Oc-tober. Once a small com-mittee was formed to decide

how the open house might look, they had about three months to put it together.

“It’s an animal that’s running on its own at this point,” says Buchanan, with a chuckle. “We’re just trying to herd it.”

“Everybody is on board,” he added. “I can’t believe how it’s taken hold in the community.”

There’ll be lots of arte-facts, including two items of local interest from the Proctor House collection: a violin, owned by Brighton doctor William Henry King, who gained notoriety as the last person hanged in Nor-thumberland County for the murder of his wife; and a shovel used to ceremonially begin work on the Murray Canal.

According to an account in the Oswego Palladium,

the turning of sod was celebrated on August 31, 1882, when Brighton Reeve Thomas Webb, “after read-ing an appropriate address, presented Mrs. (Octavia) Keeler, widow of the late MP Joseph Keeler, with a beautiful silver spade suit-ably engraved, with which the lady gracefully turned over the first sod, the bands meanwhile playing the na-tional anthem.” Accounts vary, but upwards of 6,000 people attended the event.

Members of all three Brighton-area Women’s Institutes will be offering a heritage tea throughout the weekend at a nominal cost. The Codrington club will also be bringing along a number of antique items to display—even a watch-man’s rattle—with a quiz to see how many people can

recognize.The Brighton History

Open House runs from 1 until 5 p.m. on February 23 and 24. Admission is free.

Highlights include the official opening, featuring MP Rick Norlock, MPP Rob Milligan and Mayor Mark Walas, at 1:45 p.m., Satur-day, followed by Buchanan weaving some tales around the extensive Latimer pho-tograph collection, taken as customers at a general store at Orland went about their daily business in the 1930s. At 2 p.m. Sunday, there’ll be a presentation from the Presqu’ile Point Light House Preservation Society.

Celebrate Brighton’s history this weekend

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West Canada Post has re-sponded to a request from city hall about changing the city’s mailing address from P.O. Box 490, Tren-ton to Quinte West.

A response was re-ceived by city clerk Don-naLee Craig who in-formed council that Can-ada Post would not accept the change of name, even though Quinte West is the city’s official name and Trenton is now just the name of a ward.

“For the city to use Quinte West unofficially, there is no way to guar-antee that all mail ad-dressed to the city would be received, or received without delay,” she said. “As well, it may have le-gal and liability ramifica-tions with respect to plan-ning bylaw enforcement, contracts and other legal or time-sensitive docu-ments.”

Councillor Paul Kyte had requested informa-tion on the change at the last council meeting.

Sta� take tour of septic tanks as part of fun jobBy Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West While some people are tour-ing sunny islands in the south to escape a cold Ca-nadian winter, Pubic Works staff are touring septic tank sites.

“Three staff members toured the Smiths Sep-tic Tank Service Biosolids storage site in Napanee,” said Matt Tracey, manager of Water and Wastewater Services in a report to the Public Works committee. “They also toured Third High Farms biosolids stor-age facility in Iroquois on January 23.”

The tour was conducted because the city has awarded the biosolids management contract to Smiths Septic Tank Service. Staff have also been taking extra train-ing closer to home over the winter including gas detec-tor training, confi ned space training and problem solv-ing at Loyalist College.

It’s all for a good result. The water and wastewater plants have been passing their inspections, including an unannounced inspection on the drinking water sys-tem in Bayside on January 8.

“They sometimes give us an hour warning or they might just drop in,” Tracey said. “Usually, there is one of these every three years.”

Mayor John Williams said he is pleased with the work that is being done at

the plants and in the de-tailed reports brought to committee. He suggested this information should also be presented in full council so all the people would be made aware of what is being accomplished to keep the city safe. He added that the new employee Amy Nye could make the presentation for Cogeco.

“Amy would look good on TV,” he said with a smile.

Bayside, Frankford and Batawa, and Trenton plants are reported separately with information on turbid-ity, Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and any repairs be-ing done. Bayside had a high concentration of Total Sus-pended Solids in December and a report to the Ministry of Environment was made, with a standard operating procedure for the removal of solids drafted. The mu-nicipal drinking water li-cence for Bayside requires a sample to be collected from the lagoon effl uent and test-ed regularly. The average concentration of TSS over the year shall not exceed 25 milligrams per litre but the reading in December was 62 milligrams per litre.

In Frankford and Batawa plants, Dundee Marine was on site for fi ve days to com-plete necessary repairs and replacements of various iso-lation valves in the clearwells. One clearwell was taken off line by staff and put back in

service. The reservoirs are being painted to be fi nished by the end of February.

In Trenton the vacuum priming compressor failed and will be refurbished as soon as possible, with re-pairs costing $2,000.

In Batawa Waste Water Treatment plant 160 cubic metres of liquid biosolids were removed from the fa-cility during the week of No-vember 13 and hauled to an approved farm site. In Frank-ford Waste Water Treatment plant 967 cubic metres of liq-uid biosolids were removed during the same week. A new Certifi cate of Approval was issued to the system as a result of upgrades to the facility, which includes an in-creased capacity.

On December 21 a partial tertiary bypass took place in Frankford as a result of heavy rains for three hours. On January 15 another by-pass occurred estimated at 1,854 cubic metres for a pe-riod of 44 hours.

In Trenton Waster Wa-ter Treatment plant stress testings have been delayed until spring. The new Wa-ter Street pumping station was tested on December 4 and was fully operational by December 7. There were two abnormal infl uent qual-ity events in November where the primary clarifi er was a rusty red colour but it did not carry through to the secondary clarifi ers and no

report was made to MOE.From October 26 to No-

vember 28, 6,632 cubic me-tres of liquid biosolids were removed and hauled to an approved farm site.

The Bay Street pumping station project is expected to start in late February.

Entec dewatered 3,420 cu-bic metres in January with all dewatered solids going to Third High Farms in Iro-quois for winter storage and will be on certifi ed farms in the spring.

On December 10 a spill at Trenton Waste Water Treat-ment Plant was reported as a result of excessive foam buildup which overfl owed to the grassy areas. The foam was cleaned up by using a vacuum truck.

“Foam continues to be an issue and has been re-moved on an as-need basis,” Tracey said. Samples of the foam were sent to Fort Col-lins, Colorado, for analysis. It was determined that a type of bacteria, Nocardia, is present in the foam which is causing the excessive foam buildup. Operators are tak-ing steps to remove this from the facility.

Chuck Naphan asked about the foam composition. Tracey said it was identifi ed as a common bacteria.

In Trenton there were three bypasses in Janu-ary, one which lasted seven hours on January 2, another 72 hours on January 13 and

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West A request from the Quinte Animal Hospital at its new location on Middle Street in Trenton is hoped to help clients.

“To designate no park-ing on the south side of Middle Street from Divi-

sion Street to Front Street would eliminate concerns expressed by staff of the Quinte Animal Hospital,” said Tim Colasante, man-ager of engineering ser-vices.

Public Works staff have received several com-plaints, saying clients have diffi culties safely enter-ing the parking lot owing to congestion of vehicles parking on both sides of the street.

The Public Works com-mittee also heard a report from Jim Turner, manager of outdoor operations. Turner said Harrington Road has been grubbed, topsoil removed and large boulders moved into side slope areas as part of the straightening of the road.

“We will close Har-rington Road on March 15

for about six weeks,” he said. “We’ll put a post in the paper that the road is closed.”

He said grubbing in North Murray Industrial Park has begun as well, and they have started remov-ing asphalt and concrete.

The Public Works de-partment is replacing a tandem truck at a cost of $227,890 for a 2014 Inter-national 7600, the best of two offers.

Turner also produced a list of roads that have been brushed using the new rubber tired excava-tor, with 22 kilometres of roadway over the past fi ve weeks including Hearns, Keating, Deer Run, Ander-son Island, Rosebush, Fac-tory and Gallivan Roads.

Half load signs were to be installed the week

of February 11 and com-pleted by February 22 on some side roads to keep trucks from further dam-aging them. “We have one posted on Hamilton Road,” he said. “It can’t stand the punishment.”

There has been instal-lation of No Idling signs at Sacred Heart School in Batawa as requested.

Jim Alyea asked if street lights are going to be in-stalled on Hamilton Road at North Murray Street. He said it is bad at RCAF Road and Hamilton Road between 3:30 and 4:30 as the base gets out and traf-fi c gets gridlocked. “It’s deadly there,” he said.

Tim Colasante said they will tie it in with the new construction in that area from the base.

Jim Harrison suggested that would be a good place for another roundabout.

Wayne Scaletta com-mented that catch basins on Sidney, Dundas and Front streets are a ma-jor concern. Jim Harrison agreed, “It damn near up-set my Smart car!”

Colasante said they are resurfacing the street and some of the structures are very old and the frost heaves them. Jim Turner said some are very old con-crete or bricks. He said it is very diffi cult to fi x espe-cially under Dundas which would have to be done at night because of traffi c.

Public Works � xes roads and smoothes out complaints

another lasted fi ve hours on January 31, because of rain events and a break in the backwash pump.

Amy Nye presented the annual Drinking Water Re-ports, noting that residents are no longer required to submit lead testing samples on their pipes. There were three reportable incidents in Frankford regarding lead in water, as well as in the fi ltra-tion units in Batawa and on Weeks and Ramsay Streets in Trenton where mains were replaced and in the northeast industrial park.

It was noted that blue-green algae has become an issue with water coming from the Bay of Quinte when it was highlighted as a concern in 2009, but 2012 was the fi rst year the city did not see an elevated level of the algae in raw water.

The Source Protection Plan has been submitted to the Ministry of Environ-ment for review and may be ready for enforcement in 2013. Two staff members have been certifi ed as Risk Management Offi cials and Inspectors.

Most individuals divide their estate amongst their immediate family, but what people may not consider are the possible tax consequences to this decision.

Ask yourself, if you had a choice to give a portion of your estate to the government in tax or leave a gift to the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, which one would you prefer?

If you want to make this gift a reality - you can do it for FREE in February. The following lawyers will add the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation to your will - for free (additional changes are subject to fees).

Don’t let the tax burden on your estate prevent your children from inheriting all that they should.

Including the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation as your Charity Child will provide for your loved ones, leave a legacy for your community and limit your estates exposure to estate taxes.

the charity child conceptWith a charitable bequest in your Will, the estate will benefit and receive a charitable tax receipt

for the gift. This benefit will help to offset any taxes payable to the government. The children will still receive the portion of the estate generously left for them as well. “Your” children will still receive the portion of the estate generously left for them and they will be able to celebrate

your legacy of having made a difference in the healthcare of your community through your philanthropic dreams.

Another pic on the wallSnow removal debate heats upBy Ray YurkowskiEMC News - Brighton One of the hot topics on the municipal council agenda this week was snow, or more precisely, removing the white stuff from local roads and sidewalks after a wintry blast. The meeting was delayed until press time Tuesday evening thanks to the Fam-ily Day holiday. The storm passed through the area start-ing February 8, dumping more than 30 centimetres of snow in its wake.

“Considering the number of operators and equipment we have, our guys did ex-ceptionally well,” said public works director Andrew Drze-wiecki, who explained the first priority for road crews in a winter storm situation is ensuring the safest driving conditions possible.

Once the roads are clear, the focus shifts to the down-town area. Along with that, in anticipation of a rise in tem-peratures, workers cleared as many catch basins as possible to prevent flooding. As well as dealing with significant accu-mulations, the snow-clearing effort operated within pro-vincial labour guidelines with no employee working more

than 13 hours at a stretch.The Municipality of Brigh-

ton relies on seven snow-plows and operators to clear more than 200 kilometres of road. In public works terms, that translates into more than 400 lane-kilometres, because roads can only be cleared one side at a time. One of the chal-lenges, says one municipal staffer, is dealing with retirees coming from metropolitan areas such as Toronto.

“They love the lower taxes but they also want all the ser-vices they had before coming to Brighton,” was the com-ment and one of the emails received by municipal offi-cials seems to underscore that sentiment.

“A great number of seniors have moved to Brighton and they spend a great deal of money in Brighton, but Brighton does very little for them in return,” wrote one angry taxpayer, who pointed out how they do it North York. “We have complained about the snow removal method many times to dif-ferent mayors and to various municipal departments, but Brighton does nothing.”

Deputy-mayor Craig Kerr promised photographic evi-

dence would be presented at the Tuesday meeting, which document the difference in snow-clearing efforts in the downtown areas of Brighton and Trenton by the afternoon of February 10.

“There were still portions of sidewalk unplowed in downtown Trenton,” he said. “And nobody seemed to be too excited about it because they recognized it was a sig-nificant snow event.”

But there were accolades. A Codrington resident sent an email congratulating the “team for the great job in clearing the roads and side-walks in the downtown area in so short a time. It is greatly appreciated.”

Downtown business owner Elaine Poot added her grati-tude, asking municipal CAO Gayle Frost to “thank the town workers for the clean streets this morning.”

One of the complainants contended the road in front of his house, on White’s Road, was never plowed.

“Now I have to prove that this road was plowed four times in 24 hours,” said Drze-wiecki.

But that task may soon be getting a lot easier. Also on

the Tuesday agenda, council will be asked to give the go-ahead to purchase a global positioning system (GPS) for the municipal vehicle fleet. In his report, Drzewiecki says the latest snow event “illus-trates how implementation of GPS could reduce staff time spent on searching records and handling complaints.”

The new system will be able to provide accurate and detailed work records, includ-ing vehicle locations, speed and activities; even whether the plow was up or down at any given location.

As well, Drzewiecki says he will looking at using brine at some locations in the munici-pality. The rock salt and water mixture is applied to roads in advance of a storm to deter ice and snow from sticking to the road. Brine is cheaper than regular rock salt and leaves behind less salt residue.

Why are we even discussing it?By Ray Yurkowski

Deputy-mayor Craig Kerr questions how the topic of snow removal even found its way onto a municipal council meeting agenda.

“We had some comments from the public about the way the snow event was handled and, interestingly enough, most of it came through only a couple of members of coun-cil,” he said, in an interview last week. “The balance of council didn’t hear of any sig-nificant problems from mem-bers of the public.”

“Email from a very small group of people have been requested to be added to ‘correspondence’ portion of the agenda,” he added, while wondering if there was any conversation with staff “in an attempt to resolve the com-plaints before they put this out in a public forum. The volume and tone of it is de-signed for nothing more than to discredit municipal staff.”

“We need to get people to wake up to the reality of what we’re dealing with in this mu-

nicipality and what it’s going to cost them in the long run,” said Kerr.

The snow removal debate comes as a prelude to another item on the Tuesday agenda, the launch of a service deliv-ery review in Brighton.

“That’s a process that de-termines exactly what level of service we should be pro-viding to residents and it will be a public process,” explained Kerr. “Taxpayers will have the opportunity to express their opinions and provide input on what level of expectation

they have for our services.“The thing people need to

understand is, we can provide any level of service the public wishes but there is a price tag that goes with it.

“The unfortunate part of it is, we’re degenerating into a ‘squeaky wheel gets the grease’ situation where no answer is good enough and the automatic assumption is municipal staff is wrong. There is no way any munici-pality is in a position to staff up to handle these extreme weather events.”

Letters to the editor

Dear Premier Wynne,The need to repair the

damage caused to our be-loved province in the last nine years has led me to of-fer you a piece of advice in one area. More of a cry for mercy, actually.

You know “The Plan.” Our hydro costs are projected to double, on top of the obscene increases we’ve suffered in just the last nine years. The hardship hydro rates have caused, and will cause people on fi xed or low incomes and on businesses is awful.

What kind of government

denies its citizens affordable access to the power they need to do business, turn on the lights and stay warm? By their foolish pursuit of landscape-polluting wind-mill and solar farms, the McGuinty Liberals became a serious threat to the interests of all the citizens of Ontario. They raised government folly to new heights. Their evil Green Energy Act needs to be repealed asap. As you travel the province in your second role, and if you listen, you will hear this.

Not one single windmill or

solar farm would ever have been, or ever will be built and operated without mas-sive government subsidies (that’s our money!) They are simply too expensive to build and run otherwise.

Countries like Germany, Italy, Ireland, Australia, the Netherlands, Norway, Scot-land and others who have had much longer experience with so-called “green” pow-er generation are cancelling subsidies for existing wind and solar power generating facilities and have stopped dead the building of any new

ones. They have had to build new coal and/or gas powered generating stations to com-pensate for the unreliability of their “green” power sys-tems.

Countries like China and India which are energetically trying catch up to western standards of living are build-ing coal fi red plants to power their industrialization. China has been building them at the rate of one a week. The McGuinty Liberals blew ours up or shut them down or moved them away from useful places!

Meanwhile, foreign com-panies poured into Ontario to sell windmill and solar farm components because the McGuinty Liberals ei-ther couldn’t or wouldn’t read about the experiences in other countries and gave and are still giving away billions of our tax dollars to subsi-dize them. They must be laughing all the way to their banks about the suckers in Ontario.

And all this waste has been caused by a gigantic swindle.

The claim that global warming/climate change is

being caused in any measur-able and/or controllable way by human activity is bogus. Pollution is a contemporary problem, air, water and land pollution. But, these prob-lems are local, not global, and they are curable by currently available and affordable tech-nologies. These technologies are truly deserving of public spending.

Please use your mandate for change to do the right thing and end the folly.

Yours truly,Charles W. Conn,

Hastings

What kind of government denies a� ordable access to power?

No reply on debt

Dear Editor,It’s hard to believe that this

earth’s promise of spring, summer, fall and winter can be affected by keeping our parked cars cozy and letting the engine run, cool in sum-mer, warm in winter; it’s our right, right? Just as it’s our right to burn as much gas as

we like for whatever reason; we paid for it, right? Just like Hydro, and we complain that it costs too much.

But have we really paid for it? Or will the true cost be left to our children and our children’s children? Truth is, because of climate change, our earth’s predict-

able patterns of warmth and cold, rain, snow, wind, our ever-returning growing sea-sons, are now experiencing tornados, hurricanes, killing droughts and freak win-ter storms, lowering lakes, growing deserts and rising sea levels; maybe not here, maybe not yet, but clearly

in the USA, and other poor-er and more desperate coun-tries.

We watch the devastation on television. In the U.S. President Obama is remind-ing us that 12 of the last 15 years have been the hottest ever, and he’s now prepared to do something about that.

Here in Ontario, last year’s warm weather in Feb-ruary and March severely affected fruit trees that blos-somed way too early and later froze eliminating 80 per cent of the apple crop. The hot dry summer ru-ined gardens, dried up water tables for folks on wells and affected hay crops. Now hay is scarce and expensive and some folks around here are selling off livestock and eu-thanizing horses. It’s clear that climate change does and will affect the world’s food supply. How do you put a value on the rain? We pay for our gas today, but what cost will we pay to replace our earth’s ever-renewing gifts tomorrow?

We adjust, as humans do. But let’s adjust by taking what responsibility we can for the greenhouse gasses we are emitting today.

Canada has one of the world’s worst records for pollution and energy-effi -

ciency. Where do we start to change that? Let’s sup-port Penny Vance’s recent proposal to bring in an an-ti-idling bylaw to the Mu-nicipality of Tweed. We can reduce emissions that are really unnecessary, and we can become conscious from there about what else we can do to reduce the amount of fossil fuels we burn by whatever means are avail-able. It is do-able; lots of communities everywhere are doing it. The fi rst cam-paigns to get folks to wear seat belts or to stop smoking indoors seemed outrageous to some but have benefi tted everyone. Conservation can become our daily practice. It’s one way to make a state-ment that our environment is essential. And then we can go on from there!

Sincerely, Sue Vander Wey,

Denice Wilkins, John Wilson,Tweed

Challenged by climate change, let’s not idle

Dear Editor,Recently, I inquired

twice of Hydro One as to the status of the debt re-tirement charge.

Hydro One chose not to reply.

I obtained through our MPP some info on the DRC which will continue possibly until 2015-2018! No status report received.

My concern is, will the DRC be similar to Mul-roney’s GST, supposedly temporary.

When we nice Canadi-ans revolt, Harper’s new prisons may be home to politicians with no cred-ibility and CEOs with no business ethics.

H. Howarth,Tweed

Letter to the editor

EMC Editorial You know the story-line by now. There are one mil-lion US-dollar mil-lionaires in China. (“To get rich is glo-rious,” said former leader Deng Xiao-ping.) Seventy per cent of the homes in China are bought for cash. China’s to-tal trade—the sum

of imports and exports—is now bigger than that of the United States. “They’re going to eat our lunch,” whimper the faint-hearted in the West.

It’s not just the Chinese who are coming. The Indians and the Brazilians are coming too, with economic growth rates far higher than in the old industrialised countries, but it doesn’t even stop there. There’s also Mex-ico, Turkey, Indonesia and half a dozen other big countries in what used to be called the Third World that have discovered the se-cret of high-speed growth. The power shift is happening even faster than the pundits predicted.

As recently as 2009, the “Brics” (Brazil, Russia, India and China) accounted for less than one-tenth of total global consumption. The European Union consumed twice as much, and so did the United States. But by 2020, the Brics will be producing and con-suming just as much as either of the older economic zones, and by 2025 considerably more than either of them.

In fact, if you include not just the four Brics but all the other fast-growing econo-mies of the ex-Third World, in just a dozen years’ time they will account for around 40 per cent of world consumption. As a rule, with wealth comes power, so they will in-creasingly be calling the tune that the West must dance to. Or at least that is the Dooms-day scenario that haunts the strategists and economists of the West. It’s nonsense, for at least three reasons.

First of all, a shift in the world’s centre of economic gravity does not necessarily spell doom for those whose relative infl uence has dwindled. The last time the centre shifted, when the United States overtook the na-tions of Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it did not dent Europe’s pros-perity at all.

It’s true that by the latter half of the 20th century there were American troops all over Western Europe, but that would not have happened if Europe had not come close to destroying itself in the two world wars (which can be seen as a European civil war in two parts).

In any case, the U.S. troops have mostly gone home now, and Europeans live at least

as well as Americans.Second, the new centre of gravity this

time, while mostly located in Asia, is not a single country with a coherent foreign poli-cy like the United States. The four Brics will never become a strategic or economic bloc. They are more likely to split into rival blocs, although one hopes not. And the Mexicos and Turkeys and Indonesias of this new world will have their own fi sh to fry.

So it will be a more complicated world with many major players, and the centre of economic gravity will be in Asia, but there’s nothing particularly strange about this. More than half of the human race lives in Asia, so where else should the centre of gravity be? Asia is very far from monolithic, and there is no logical reason to suppose that its economic rise spells economic decline for the West.

Third, descriptions of the future that are simply extrapolations of the present, like the ones at the start of this article, are almost al-ways wrong. If the widely believed forecasts of the 1980s had been right, Japan would now bestride the world like an economic Colossus. The one certain thing about the future is surprises—but some surprises are a little less surprising than others.

Take climate change, for example. The scientifi c evidence strongly suggests that the tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world, home to almost all of the emerging economic powers, will be much harder hit by global warming than the temperate parts of the globe, farther away from the equator, where the older industrialised countries all live.

There is already much anger about this in the new economic powers. Eighty per cent of the greenhouse gases of human origin in the atmosphere were put there by the old-rich countries, who got rich by burning fos-sil fuels for the past two centuries, and yet they get off lightly while the (relatively) in-nocent suffer. But even if the newly rich wanted revenge, they are too disunited, and will be too busy coping with the warming to do much about it.

The centre of gravity of the world econ-omy is undoubtedly leaving the old “Atlan-tic” world of Europe and North America and moving toward Asia, but how far and how fast this process goes remains to be seen. And there is no reason to believe it will leave the countries of the West poor or helpless.

True, economists in the West often ask the question: “what will we sell the emerg-ing countries in the future that they cannot produce for themselves?” In the runaway global warming scenario, the answer would be “food,” but the real answer is sure to be more complex than that. Never mind. They’ll think of something, because they’ll have to.

The Decline of the West? The home of the brave?

Dear Editor,How would you like to be a mayor or a councillor for a

municipality these days? It must be dawning on most tax-payers that their voice and representation is declining to a barely audible squawk. Councils and their electorate are like pigs squealing in an abattoir. It’s not the mayor or reeve or council’s fault; they’ve been stripped of their former function by a bunch of faceless, unelected, uncaring bureaucrats who live “elsewhere” but want to write our rules.

Consider, for example, the plight of the Asphodel-Nor-wood residents fi ghting wind turbine projects. Council, re-sponding to local residents’ concerns, declared a moratorium on local construction of turbines only to fi nd that this right had been lifted from them.

Building permits for such items would not be issued on Toronto Island facing the condos on the shore of Lake On-tario, nor opposite Oakville mansions, nor would they be is-sued in Ottawa on McGuinty Avenue, nor, for that matter, opposite any MPP’s home. Turbine building permits would, however, be managed by the Ministry of the Environment and will only be issued where nobody important lives.

The same thing happened to the writing of the latest mas-ter planning for municipalities. (Selfi sh-alert: the writer is still protesting ANSIs). The Ministry of Natural Resources, now peopled by thousands of millennials who couldn’t plant a tree if their life depended on it, dictated the commandeer-

ing of vast “unpopulated” acreage—to the astonishment of local councils.

The same thing is happening to the usurpation of local po-licing authority by the infamous Wizard of Oz. Who is he? Where is he? Where does he pay his taxes? Does he carry a gun? Was he empowered by a chic new mafi a called the Ministry of Council be Damned?

What about the consultation process concerning the heri-tage waterways of Rideau and Trent? Would it be asking too much to let the adjacent communities determine the fate of irreplaceable assets or should we just “rip up the tracks” like the railroads?

Watch out, however, you mayor and councillors. As Tweed found out recently, if anything goes wrong, water quality for instance, it’s not the “Ministry of All-Knowing” that’s to blame, it’s you baby! Hello, liability insurance?

The point of all this is that we, the humble electorate, have a duty to “take back the right.” That’s not the “right” as in George Bush, but rather the right to have a productive voice in government. The new breed of bureaucrat is dangerous. The huge salaries and benefi ts they have wrested from com-pliant politicians has made them greedy, selfi sh, and lustful for more power. Be vigilant in your selection of councillors and MPPs and MPs. Will they stand up for you? Find out and vote accordingly!

Wyley defends “councillors”

By Terry BushEMC Editorial - How low can they go? Apparently the sky’s the limit when it comes to the U.S. military.

The guardians of all that is corporate, rich and Judeo-Christian have come up with a new medal to honour those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced last week that the Pentagon is creating a medal to be awarded to a service member who, “does contribute to the success of combat operations, particu-larly when they remove the enemy from the fi eld of battle, even if those actions are physically removed from the fi ght.”

In layman’s terms … a drone operator sitting in a building in the Arizona desert, can be rewarded for his or her “extraordinary achievements” killing somebody in Pakistan or Afghanistan while sitting in a big comfy chair out of harm’s way. Why does this not come as any surprise?

More and more, the usual suspects, Britain, the U.S. and France have taken to the air to do their killing. NATO has come a long way from the era when our fathers and grandfathers risked their lives in the trenches.

We go into countries, usually ones that don’t have an air force or any air defence systems and simply bomb the hell out of them. We’ve done it in Iraq, Afghanistan and more recently Libya and Mali. But in the off chance that someone might actually manage to strike an aircraft, we’ve solved that problem by eliminating some of the pilots as well. It won’t be long before everything is done by machines and the only people dying will be those poor folks unfor-tunate enough to live in a non-NATO country.

The new medal, red, white, blue and brass, of course, will be awarded to those pilots or cyber attackers who have achieved great-ness post September 11, 2001.

The new Distinguished Warfare Medal will rank higher than the Bronze Star but not as high as the Silver Star, the third highest combat award given for bravery. It will outrank the Purple Heart given to service members killed or wounded in battle.

This isn’t going over well with rank and fi le members of the military who still risk their lives on a battlefi eld.

“What’s next,” one person asked on a military web site, “a pur-ple heart for an animated wound?” This will do nothing for the morale of troops in the fi eld who don’t have the luxury of sitting in an air-conditioned room, creating warrior viruses on a computer.

One might question whether the “Geek Cross” as it’s being re-ferred to, should even be awarded at all considering the legality of the drone program.

Obama insists it’s all legal much the same as George Dubya in-sisted that torture, make that enhanced interrogation techniques, was legal. Shades of Richard Nixon’s quote during the 1977 David Frost interview, “When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.”

Legal or not, can anything be more cowardly than killing people from thousands of miles away not to mention the fact that positive identifi cation of suspects is iffy at best.

We’ve all heard the stories of people attending weddings, funer-als and meetings of tribal elders being “droned” and then the same groups are “double tapped” when family members or passersby come to the aid of the dying or wounded. These people are always referred to as terrorists by the U.S. military until facts on the ground prove otherwise. Then occasionally an apology is grudg-ingly given.

For a nation that prides itself on its democracy, laws and “inno-cent until proven guilty” court system, how does killing suspected militants and civilians without trial jibe with Ronald Reagan’s, “America is a shining city upon a hill” reference which implies freedom-loving people everywhere look up to the USA as a beacon of hope. Freedom for the victims of drone attacks does not mean being freed of their bodies by explosives.

As Archbishop Desmond Tutu was quoted in the New York Times last week, “Do the United States and its people really want to tell those of us who live in the rest of the world that our lives are not of the same value as yours? That President Obama can sign off on a decision to kill us with less worry about judicial scrutiny than if the target is an American? Would your Supreme Court really want to tell humankind that we, like the slave Dred Scott in the 19th century, are not as human as you are? I cannot believe it.”

Almost 900 people including women, children and foreigners in the North Waziristan area of Pakistan have been killed in drone at-tacks in the past fi ve years. Add in the people killed in Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and almost as many people have been killed by drones in the past few years as died on September 11 in New York City. Every one of them was killed without a trial and most, es-pecially those considered collateral damage, were just going about their daily lives. All this devastation from a Nobel Peace Prize win-ner!

Not surprisingly, in a recent Gallup poll it was discovered that 90 per cent of the population of Pakistan disapprove of the behaviour of the United States. Considering that’s 90 per cent out of a popu-lation of around 177 million, we’re talking about a lot of pissed off people. At last week’s confi rmation hearings for John Brennan, Barak Obama’s choice to head the CIA, Brennan stated that as far as he knew, the drone strikes were welcomed by the population.

Much the same as the U.S. would welcome 350 drone strikes by Pakistan on Washington, DC, I’m sure. Maybe the Pakistan-is should get a medal for telling it like it is, even though nobody seems to be listening.

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor:In years gone by Stu-

art McLean has delivered his inimitable storytelling via the Vinyl Café on the stages of Stirling’s Festival Theatre and the Empire Theatre in Belleville. It is a very entertaining show re-corded live for CBC Radio, giving Canadians across the country a few laughs at the locals’ expense, plus introducing some great Canadian musical talent. But too much of a good thing can become a bad thing. Unfortunately, here in 2013 I often fi nd my-self switching from CBC Radio 2 (103.9 FM) back to CBC Radio One (98.7 FM), or vice versa, at the sound of Stuart’s voice. His weekly show used to be a welcome guest join-ing us for a slow Sunday morning breakfast. Now his unique cadence seems to be there for breakfast, lunch and dinner most days of the week and then yet again if you happen to be driving home in the wee hours. For long-time CBC Radio listeners this is just one more sign of ongoing degrading moves which CBC staff have had to endure. Why?

Well, despite the Harp-er Tories promise during the last election that they would not cut CBC’s bud-

get they broke their prom-ise in last March’s Federal Budget and slashed CBC’s funding by 16 per cent. Once again Harper & Co. simply lied to us to get some votes. With no al-ternative way to deal with this reduced budget 800 of CBC’s dedicated staff were laid off. Of these numbers fully 650 were creative staff who brought us news, intellectual views and Canadian music which we can get nowhere else. CBC’s International news bureaus are being shut down while record-ing studios and transmit-ters are being shuttered across Canada. Many shows have been can-celled including fl agships such as Dispatches with host Rick MacInnes-Rae and Connect with Marc Kelly which kept Canadi-ans informed about world events. When the broad-cast hours needed to be fi lled, repeating programs like Stuart McLean’s was about the only answer program managers had available. None of this is ever talked about in the taxpayer-funded “Action Plan” propaganda Conser-vatives bombard us with on a daily basis.

Harper wants the CBC gone. If he follows his present trajectory he will

one day propose selling CBC to his buddies in the private sector. The sugges-tion of selling ads on CBC Radio is a fi rst step. Com-mercialization will destroy what CBC is supposed to be … a cultural connection for Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Harper has his own ideologically bent Sun Media station up and running under the guidance of his former mouthpiece, Kory Teney-cke. Listening to Ezra Le-vant spew his right wing propaganda from this ultra-conservative “Fox News North” gets tiring in a hurry. Ezra never fails to repeat the lie that CBC is costing taxpayers a pile of money. Millions of our tax dollars can be given to General Motors to create a few jobs bolting cars to-gether because engineers have yet to fi gure out how to robotize some part of the process while creative jobs at CBC are being dec-imated by Harper’s Con-servatives. It can easily be proven our tax dollars priming CBC’s cultural pump spin off new shows and jobs that create much more wealth than we in-vest.

Perhaps arch-Conserva-tive, the late Dalton Camp said it best: “Owning one national communications facility, such as the CBC, which owes nothing to Mitsubishi or General Dy-namics or Krupp, is surely worth keeping. What we know about the CBC, in a world in which econom-ics is power and so much power is out of our hands, is that the CBC would never willfully betray our national interest or sell off our Canadian heritage. And we are its sharehold-ers. When you hear people talk about reducing the role of the CBC, or selling off its assets, look closely at who is talking – it won’t be a voice speaking for the people of Canada, but for shareholders of another kind of corporation.”

If you agree with my analysis, and Dalton Camp’s, please google Friends of Canadian Broadcasting and join to-day. If our collective voice represents enough votes there may still be time to save the CBC. As it stands today, Harper is well on his way to killing it.

Sincerely, Alan Coxwell,

Stirling

CBC delivers the truth. Harper wants it stopped.

By Kate EversonEMC Lifestyles - Trenton Members of the Quinte Branch of the Ontario Ge-nealogical Society learned

all about new ways to access their Family Tree at a meet-ing held at city hall coun-cil chambers on February 16. Rick Roberts, of Global

Genealogy is not just another hard word to spell

Rick and Sandra Roberts from Global Genealogy with local volunteer Robert Dawes. Photo: Kate Everson

Genealogy in Milton, was guest speaker at the month-ly meeting.

“There is an easier way to synchronize your tree in Family Tree Maker with an online Ancestry.com tree,” he explained.

People tracing their fam-ily history can access and update their tree anywhere, share it with friends and collaborate with the largest most active family history community in the world.

“You may connect with others who have insight on your ancestors or even rare photos to share with you,” Roberts said. “You may even fi nd relatives you didn’t know you had.”

A new Mac-only feature allows people to capture photos with the built-in camera and import directly into Family Tree Maker. Us-ing OS-Lion, they can use the new full-screen capabil-ity with one click.

Roberts said people can fi nd out more at his web site <globalgenealogy.com> or contact him through the lo-cal branch.

Roberts said there is a lot of interest in local history here. A well-known book, Historic Hastings by Gerry Boyce, will be reprinted this spring and a new edition is coming out in June which continues the historic time-line from 1967 (where the

EMC Sports - Quinte West - After a highly suc-cessful fi gure skating season, ten-year-old Chloe Choinard is looking ahead to provincial competition in March.

Proud of her recent ac-complishments, Choinard competed at the Eastern On-tario Starskate Invitational Championships (EOSIC) held February 15-17 in Whit-by, Ontario, achieving a per-sonal best score and earning a bronze medal in the Ladies Juvenile Under 11 category.

Choinard landed three double jumps and skated a clean program to earn her third-place fi nish and the ac-complishment will see her travelling to Fort Erie at the end of March to compete at the Provincial level. Com-petition will feature the best amateur skaters from across the province.

“I am so excited to be go-ing to Provincials. I wasn’t really expecting it because it was my fi rst time competing at the Juvenile level,” says Choinard.

From a very young age Choinard demonstrated natural skating ability and coupled that with a passion for the sport, enabling her to surpass her goals this season. During the 2011-2012 skat-ing season she competed at the Pre-Preliminary and Pre-liminary level. In 2012-2013, she moved into the competi-tive ranks and competed at the Pre-Juvenile then Juve-nile level.

Skipping through four levels in two years paid off because in her fi rst Juve-nile event at the EOSIC, she earned the bronze medal, de-

scribed as an outstanding ac-complishment by her coach Lesley McGuire.

“Chloe has a light and ef-fortless feel for the ice. She has the lines of a ballerina and incredible focus. It’s a great combination that should help to take her far in this sport.”

Choinard trains ten hours a week at the Quinte Figure Skating Club with McGuire and has no regrets.

“I spend a lot of time at arenas,” says Choinard, “but I really, really love to skate.

“I am very proud of my-self and all that I have ac-complished this season,” says Choinard.

Choinard headed to provincials

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

From setting, to stage, to performance, everything is perfectly on cue. Andrea McKinley, Registered Massage Therapist, has created a home based spa. The walls are a warm green; calming music fills the air and the products and essential oils that Andrea has researched over many years are on-hand. The massage table is wrapped in fresh white towels and the stone tiled floor completes the invitation to slow

down, unwind and take time – time for YOU. Whether for relaxation, relief from injury or a health issue, you’ll bask in this serene environment. Just fifteen minutes from Belleville and Quinte West, it is a set-up that is hard to duplicate.

Andrea’s background – a B.A., a Masters, and an MBA, coupled with ten years working for the Federal Government – would hardly portend her change of occupation to massage therapy! But she had always had a passion for health, wellness and alternative therapies. So, acting on a suggestion from her massage therapist a few years ago, she went back to school to earn her Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) license through the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. With this recognized

certification, Andrea’s services are covered by most insurance providers. (Currently, Andrea is also working towards her certification in homeopathy. Talk about lifelong learning!)

Her services range from massage to CranioSacral

Therapy, Mud Wraps, Reflexology, Reiki and beyond. She takes time and care to describe the benefits of each therapy and offers information online at www.Andréanmckinley.ca. In person, the same care is taken

to listen intently to each client, to his or her body and then offer information and education.

Andrea planned her business carefully, and part of that planning included a visit to Trenval Business Development Corporation to apply for Canadian Youth Business Foundation financing. “Trenval, and Amber Darling in particular, were great. They had a lot of information and gave me many different options to choose from. Were it not for Trenval, I would likely be working for someone else right now, instead of being my own boss. Trenval and CYBF gave me the opportunity to start my own business, and I will forever be grateful for that”, says Andrea without hesitation.

The CYBF Start-up Program requires that each

young entrepreneur have a mentor throughout the first two years of the business. Anthony Brooks, owner of Alota Tile, works with Andréa regularly. “Anthony has been a great motivator! Such mentoring really is a key to my success,” adds Andrea.

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

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

fine fashion and flowers.“It’s all about leaving the

guilt behind,” said keynote speaker Sheila Wray Gre-goire, “and focus on what’s really important.”

There were plenty of ways to indulge, guilt-free, as the auditorium and foyer were filled with

over 30 eager vendors of-fering brighter smiles, soft fragrances, sweet ideas and epicurean delights.

In the Music Room, Loyalist College had a spa and there were people with Curves, yoga and essences, while the foyer offered re-flexology and steeped tea,

bath salts and some off-the-hook designs.

Mini-manicures, make-up, waxing and scalp mas-sages were all available from local businesses.

Sheila from Rose Hips demonstrated how to ar-range cut flowers. There was fashion talk from

Brandy at Off the Hook. Lunch was delightfully ca-tered by Blue Butterfly.

“It’s all about the fon-due,” said Jenny Albert-son from Velata of Frank-ford, dipping her dessert in melt-in-your-mouth chocolate.

EMC News - Trenton - Craig Kerr, deputy-mayor for the Municipality of Brighton, was acclaimed to a fifth term as chair of the Board of Direc-tors of Lower Trent Conser-vation (LTC) at their annual meeting held recently.

Patricia Westrope, repre-senting the Township of Cra-mahe, was acclaimed to her third term as vice chair.

LTC’s area of jurisdiction covers 2,121 square kilo-metres (819 square miles) stretching from Grafton to Quinte West and from Lake Ontario to Rice Lake. The area includes all or portions of seven municipalities. The municipalities within this region appoint members to the LTC Board of Directors, which oversees the activities of the Conservation Author-ity and sets its budget. The ten-member Board of Direc-

tors includes thefollowing municipal repre-

sentatives for 2013:Township of Alnwick/

Haldimand - Joan Stover; Municipality of Brighton - Craig Kerr, Mary Tadman; Municipality of Centre Hast-ings - Larry Mitz; Township of Cramahe - Patricia We-strope; City of Quinte West - Jim Harrison, Jim Alyea; Township of Stirling-Rawdon - Wilfred Shier; Municipality of Trent Hills - Kim MacNeil, Bill Thompson.

The 2013 budget was ap-proved by the board at the meeting. Approximately 48 per cent of the $2,634,500 budget will be provided by the provincial and federal gov-ernments to co-ordinate pro-grams related to the cleanup of the Bay of Quinte and the protection of sources of water used for municipal drinking

“Indoor tanning causes cancer,” White stated. “Ul-traviolet radiation from in-door tanning equipment is a known human carcinogen.” She said indoor tanning equipment can emit ultravio-let (UVR) radiation at levels five times stronger than the

By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - The city is looking at im-proving vehicle access to Queen Elizabeth School in Trenton, since the board an-nounced its possible expan-sion next year.

“The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board is currently in the process of conducting an accommodation review of certain schools in Quinte West,” reported Brian Jar-dine, manager of planning services.

One of the options un-

Conservation board heads remain the samewater. The seven local

municipalities will pro-vide $753,095 to support the watershed management pro-gram, representing approxi-mately 29 per cent of the funding outlined in the 2013 budget and business plan.

“2013 will be a challenging but exciting year for Lower Trent Conservation,” says LTC CAO Glenda Rodgers. “As a result of our restructur-

ing exercise in 2012, Lower Trent Conservation is taking a fresh approach to how we deliver and market our ser-vices and programs.”

The new program divi-sions include: Watershed Sci-ence and Services; Corporate Services; and Conservation Lands. Through Watershed Science & Services, LTC con-ducts environmental moni-toring, planning, permitting,

flood forecasting, steward-ship, education and outreach activities. The Conservation Lands program involves the management and protection of 1,500 hectares of natural areas on 17 properties.

Corporate Services in-cludes human resources, in-formation, data and financial management activities along with marketing and commu-nications.

The Board of Directors meets the second Thursday of every month. The meet-ings are open to the public. Meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. and are held at the Lower Trent Conservation office just south of Wooler at 714 Murray Street, Quinte West. Meeting agendas are available at <www.ltc.on.ca> in advance of each meeting.

Indoor tanning an issuemidday summer sun.

Information from the Ca-nadian Cancer Society reveals that melanoma skin cancer is one of the most common forms of skin cancer in young Ontarians ages 15 to 29 and is one of the most preventable. Indoor tanning before the age of 35 significantly increases a person’s risk of melanoma.

In July, 2009, the Interna-tional Agency for Research on Cancer reclassified indoor tanning devices into the high-est cancer risk category.

The following provinces have laws banning the use of indoor tanning equipment by youth: British Columbia (October, 2012), Nova Scotia (December 2010), Quebec (June 2012), Newfoundland and Labrador (June 2012) and Prince Edward Island (De-cember 2012).

The following municipali-ties in Ontario have passed indoor tanning bylaws: Oakville, Region of Peel (which includes Brampton,

Caledon and Mississauga) and the city of Belleville.

“Youth are not being pro-tected,” White added. “Indoor tanning beds are not follow-ing Health Canada’s volun-tary guidelines.”

Children under 16 should not use tanning equipment, but many tanning facilities do not ask for the ages of clients. People with sensitive skin should not use the tan-ning units, but many facilities do not advise anyone against tanning.

The Canadian Cancer Society is calling on all municipalities to protect the health of Ontario’s youth and pass an indoor tanning bylaw to prohibit the use of tanning beds to anyone under the age of 18, restrict promotions di-rected toward youth and require comprehensive training for all staff oper-ating tanning equipment. It also asks that the health risks be clearly posted.

Queen Elizabeth School access to be reviewed

der review is the potential redevelopment of the exist-ing Queen Elizabeth Public School with a new facility on the existing site at Sill-ers Avenue north of Dixon Drive.

“The existing site experi-ences difficult access issues,” Jardine noted. He recom-mended an alternative ac-cess to improve traffic and school bus flow, student and pedestrian safety. School board staff have identified a direct access from Dixon Drive as the best option.

LIFESTYLES

By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - Farmers flocked to the Quinte Farm Trade Show at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Trenton on Valentine’s Day for the love of the farm.

“We are here to increase awareness of our programs and services,” said Karen Fis-cher with the Ontario Minis-try of Agriculture and Food. She was with one of several booths at the show with dis-plays of interest to farm-ers. Brittany Barkes from the Trenton/Brighton office shared the space.

Jim Hair of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture said his farm lobby group repre-sents 37,000 members includ-ing Hastings, Prince Edward, Lennox & Addington and Northumberland Counties.

“High grain prices are an issue this year,” he said. “With the drought and hay shortage, hay is expensive for hog and beef farmers. Feed prices are up.”

He added, “Generally, there is a fair amount of pros-perity.”

Tamara Tucker, environ-mental technician working out of the Lower Trent Con-servation office, had a booth for the Bay of Quinte Reme-dial Action Plan (RAP). She said funding is available to enhance property.

“New for 2013, we are cov-ering a larger area,” she said. “A lot of people are interested in these programs. We just started two weeks ago and

there have been a lot of phone calls and emails.”

Landowners are encour-aged to fence cattle out of streams. Bay of Quinte RAP funds up to 50 per cent of the project up to $7,500. Project fees may include alternative watering systems, fencing materials and permits.

Landowners who plant buffer zones between land and watercourses or wet-lands are eligible for up to 100 per cent of the project up to $1,000. Only native plants are funded and a plant list is provided by BQRAP. A buf-

fer zone of five to 30 metres is recommended. Watercourses that drain into the Bay of Quinte are eligible.

Habitat enhancement programs are also funded. Shoreline naturalization is funded up to 50 per cent up to $7,500 to create a more natu-ral shoreline such as remov-ing a retaining wall or other man-made structure.

Wildlife Pond Habitat Cre-ation is funded up to 50 per cent up to $2,500. To qualify for a pond creation project the committee must review the location to determine eli-

gibility.“The Bay of Quinte RAP

is rehabilitating the Bay of Quinte,” Tucker said. “It started in the eighties and has made tons of progress. We are working to de-list it as an area of concern.”

She said fish, nutrients and algae blooms are all indicators of the health of the bay.

“We hope to eventually de-list the bay completely,” she said. “There will still be ongoing monitoring and re-viewing of data.”

Another booth at the farm show gave information on applying through Trees On-tario for getting free trees for

planting on land of at least 2.5 acres. This government pro-gram is designed to plant 50 million trees by 2020 to help fight climate change and re-green the province.

This is Ontario’s pledge to the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign.

The Ministry of Natural Resources has partnered with Trees Ontario to plant trees on rural lands across southern Ontario. Landowners must sign a 15-year agreement to maintain the trees.

The farm show also had speakers including Peter Mo-ran from MPAC on property assessment, Bill Groot-Nib-belink of OMAFRA on dead stock disposal and Dr. Sam Leadley on dairy calf man-agement. There was a hot roast beef dinner with a small chocolate gift for Valentine’s Day.

“Here’s looking at you, kid!”

EMC News - Campbell-ford - Students interested in the air they breathe, the wa-ter they drink and the land they live on will be keen on entering the 2013 Caring for our Watersheds contest.

Geared for Grade 8 to 9 stu-dents, individuals interested in the environment can sub-mit their ideas to the Caring for our Watersheds program for a chance to win $1,000 for themselves and $1,000 for their school. Plus, an ad-ditional $10,000 in funding is also available to help imple-ment the contest ideas.

Agrium Inc. (TSX and NYSE: AGU) and Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) are proud to bring this in-ternational competition to Ontario.

“Over the past several years, students have pro-vided viable answers to the question: What can you do to improve your water-shed?” explains Lindsey Metheral, Agrium Program Advisor. “It is apparent how much future generations care about watersheds, their world and their place in it.”

“The creativity this con-test affords students is ben-efi cial for our environment and the communities we serve,” says Anne Ander-son, LTC Special Projects

Co-ordinator. “Anytime we can engage and involve our younger generation in envi-ronmental conversation ben-efi ts us all. They are actively seeking ways to make our communities sustainable for future generations and we are here to help them.”

The entry deadline for students living in the Low-er Trent watershed region and attending school in the Campbellford - Brigh-ton area is March 25, 2013. The top six fi nalists will be judged by the community and the winners will be an-nounced April 25, 2013.

Several years ago, Lower Trent Conservation was ap-proached by former Camp-bellford resident and Agri-um CEO Mike Wilson to co-ordinate an Ontario ver-sion of the competition. Af-ter launching the program in Campbellford in 2011, Brighton schools were ap-proached to participate in 2012 with the support of an Agrium Advanced Technol-ogies offi ce located in Brigh-ton. Wilson has personally donated the prize money for the competition.

“A potential access from Dixon Drive would run through an approved 29-unit townhouse site,” he said. The property had been granted approval for townhouses in 2009.

Staff met with the developer of the townhouse project on January 29 and the school board and all parties agreed this could be achieved, provided a formal agreement includ-ing costs could be reached. Costs will be negotiated with the school board and 2139911 Ontario Inc.

Future roadway infrastructure within the corridor will be assumed by the city.

The Trenton Accommodation Review Committee is re-viewing the future of Breadner Elementary School on the base and College Street and North Trenton Public Schools. It concluded at its February meeting to close Breadner and College Street schools, expand North Trenton to include up to Grade 6, and build a new school at Queen Elizabeth. The four schools have been facing financial difficulties with low enrollment for several years. Recommendations will go to the board on April 22 at the board office on Ann Street in Belleville, where the public is free to voice opinions.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbell-ford - “It’s all so surreal. It hasn’t really hit me yet and probably won’t until I land in LA,” said Jadine Parr, the Campbellford mother of two who appeared last Sun-day on Dragon’s Den.

Parr was hoping she and her American business part-ner Melanie Miller would make an impression with their product Baby BlowOut Blocker and they did, not for a deal with the Dragons but with someone else.

“We were contacted and hand selected by Jayneoni Moore, Baby Glamour Guru to the celebrities, to attend The Boom Boom Room Pre-Oscar Gifting Suite at the 2013 Academy Awards this coming weekend, Satur-day February 23,” Parr told EMC.

When interviewed earlier this week she was still try-ing to come down to earth after realizing she will be meeting movie stars who will be coming to the Acad-emy Awards ceremony this year.

“The Boom Boom Room is the premier event for top quality infant and toddler brands to come face to face with the A-list moms and dads of Hollywood and the media,” she said.

Parr leaves for Los Ange-les Friday night and will be in The Boom Boom Room

with Miller all day Satur-day.

“We are to receive a list of the celebrity moms and dads who have children un-der the age of five who will come and browse the room,” said Parr with excitement.

At press time she had not yet received the celebrity list.

The entrepreneurs will be in a large banquet hall with others from throughout North America chosen to showcase their baby prod-ucts.

“It’s a gifting suite so we give our product to the ce-lebrities and have our pic-tures taken with them,” ex-plained Parr.

“It’s an opportunity to meet and mingle and show them our product.”

The whirlwind exposure of their product has both entrepreneurs a bit over-whelmed.

“I am trying to keep all of my balls in the air as we are juggling a lot of things,” said Parr.

“It’s all just happening so quickly. I am very fortu-nate to have everything fall-ing into place so well right now,” she added.

Admitting they didn’t get any deals with the Dragons, she was encouraged by them to continue with their plans to get the word out about their product.

Dragon Arlene Dickin-

son told the entrepreneurs during their segment which aired on CBC, “You need to get as many of these out there as quickly as you can. Go to social media sites and bloggers and get the moms to take this on.”

Dragon Kevin O’Leary said, “Getting shelf space in the diaper aisle is impossible. There is not a chance in hell. These diaper guys are pretty smart. I think it’s a war you are going to lose.”

All the Dragons agreed, however, that the women would do well by marketing their product online.

Parr said their product, Baby BlowOut Blocker, has been called a “bril-liant mommy must-have in Pregnancy & Newborn magazine and has been fea-tured on Breakfast Televi-sion.

Parr did say they are “in discussions with Giant Ti-ger.”

For information about the product go to: <www.kalikababy.com/> or email <[email protected]> or phone 705-653-6048.

The 23-year-old virtuoso accordion and guitar player with a refreshingly simple take on life and music who dazzled audiences twice at the Havelock Country Jamboree and won the hearts and top marks of judges at the 2011 Havelock Idol Showdown re-turns to Havelock for a March 2 gig in the upstairs hall at the Royal Canadian Legion that will certainly draw a crowd.

The former Canadian soldier has certainly made

his mark after stunning the Havelock Idol audience in 2011. He released his first full-length album Take it All last August after sessions at Iguana Studio in Toronto which was part of the Have-lock Idol grand prize and he’s expanded his fan base with well-received shows across the country.

The album includes his ovation-stirring rendition of Roy Payne’s I Wouldn’t Take a Million Dollars for a Maple Leaf which lifted listeners out of their seats during his Havelock Idol and Jamboree performances.

“Jamie mesmerized our audience from the time he took the stage till he tipped

Jamie Spurvey will dazzle Havelock againhis hat at the end,” says Jen-nifer Goheen of the Havelock Country Jamboree where he performed in 2011 as part of his Idol prize package and again in 2012 when he gave a full show.

“He’s unique; he goes back to the traditional style and you don’t see that every often. It’s really hard to explain un-til you see him play,” Goheen told the Northwest EMC be-fore last year’s Jamboree.

Spurvey has both a win-ning personality and deft tal-ent for song-writing.

“He’s just who he is. There’s no ‘show’ there,” says Goheen. “He’s true to who he is and he writes to what he’s experienced. That’s what country music is all about.”

“When he starts to sing you just take notice,” she added. “He doesn’t want the flash, he wants to be who he is and I think that’s what makes him stand out.”

The Newfoundland native was born into a military fam-ily and it was while the fam-ily was living in Ontario that the then 12-year-old Spurvey took up the accordion. After graduating from high school in Goose Bay, Newfound-land, he joined the Cana-dian Armed Forces where he served for three years before receiving an honourable dis-charge and set his sights on a musical career.

During his stint in the military he recorded a demo album of original country

EMC Entertainment - The Belleville Public Library is proud once again to be one of three screening loca-tions for Belleville Down-town DocFest’s second In-ternational Documentary Film Festival. DocFest is fast approaching and runs Friday, March 1, to Sunday, March 3. Screenings will be at The Em-pire Theatre, the CORE Cen-tre and on the library’s third floor, in the John M. Parrott Art Gallery. The festival will feature over 45 outstand-ing films celebrating life and human dignity around the world and right here at home, including at least seven local-ly produced documentaries.

The DocFest Opening Gala at The Empire Theatre will be on Friday, March 1, at 7

p.m. and launches with the documentary, Searching for Sugar Man. This acclaimed film about forgotten musi-cian Sixto Rodriguez recently received an Academy Award nomination. The story is of this singer-songwriter from Detroit whose tuneful protest music, unbeknownst to him, found cult status with the anti-apartheid movement in 1970s South Africa. Special guest, Toronto singer-songwriter Ja-son Collett will perform live following the film. Collett is a former member of Juno Award-winning indie rock band Broken Social Scene. He recently released his fifth solo recording, Reckon, which was recorded during the Occupy Wall Street movement. The Globe and Mail referred to

his songs as, “sharply written protest songs, not without sly doses of humour.”

Here’s a sampling of some inspiring films that will ap-pear at the Library: on Friday, March 1, at 2 p.m. Reflections: Art for an Oil-Free Coast (22 minutes), the story of 50 art-ists banded together to protest the Northern Gateway project and the threat they believe it represents to B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest. Followed by, All Me: The Life and Times of Winfred Rembert (78 min-utes), this artist’s autobio-graphical paintings depict the day-to-day existence of Afri-can Americans in the South.

On Saturday, March 2, at 10 a.m., the Library’s DocFest of-ferings will include a free fam-ily screening of Chimpanzee (78 minutes) rated G, the story of a three-year-old chimp sep-arated from his troop and then adopted by a full-grown male. At 4 p.m. there will be two films by local filmmaker Peter Lockyer: Celebrating Hockey History: The Story of the 1959 World Champion Bel-leville McFarlands (28 min-utes), and Making Waves: The Story of Canada’s Miss Su-pertest Team (21 minutes). A Q&A with Peter Lockyer will follow.

Festival Passes and tickets for the Opening Gala are avail-able through The Empire The-atre box office, online at <the-empiretheatre.com> or by phone at 613-969-0099. Tick-ets are also available at a num-ber of outlets in the Quinte area until February 26. Festi-val Passes are $35, unwaged/student - $15 and include the Opening Gala and admission to all films.

SPORTS

By Steve JesselEMC Sports - Belleville The Belleville Bulls over-came a big deficit to claim a 7 - 5 victory over the visiting Sudbury Wolves on Saturday night, recording 27 shots and potting five goals in a wild second period. Captain Bren-dan Gaunce and defenceman Jordan Subban each recorded a hat trick, in a game where starting goaltender Malcolm Subban was pulled midway through the second period after allowing four goals on 16 shots.

“I didn’t think we were playing awful, but the goals we gave up were a little slop-py,” head coach George Bur-nett said. “It was good to see us get on a roll, and skate and work like we did.”

The Bulls, fresh off a slim 1 - 0 road win over the Mis-sissauga Steelheads the night before (February 15), entered the game against the Wolves just a point back of the East-ern Conference-leading Barrie Colts, but it was the Wolves who drew first blood. A weak slapshot from the left faceoff circle managed to sneak its way past M. Subban midway through the period, proving an ominous sign of things to come for one of the OHL’s top goalies.

The Bulls attempted to respond by laying some big hits and generating a few of-fensive opportunities of their own, but again it was the

Wolves who leaped at their next chance when Nathan Pancel was left alone at the side of the Belleville net to pounce on a rebound, giving Sudbury a 2 - 0 lead. Bulls forward Daniil Zharkov had a great chance to get a goal back on a beautiful back-door feed with time winding down in the first, but he put his shot well over the net and the Bulls headed to the dress-ing room down 2 - 0.

“I thought we were a little dopey in the first period; we got caught standing around a little bit,” Burnett said. “They’re hungry. Sudbury has been a very good team since Christmas, or just be-fore it.”

The Bulls amped up their physical presence in the opening minutes of the second period, laying mas-sive bone-shattering hits all across the ice. With the momentum swinging back into their favour, Belleville caught a bit of a break when J. Subban’s shot from the point looked to be tipped on the way to the net, eluding the Sudbury goaltender and giving the Bulls their first goal of the night at 2:43 of the second period.

As the frame went on, the Bulls were absolutely dominating puck posses-sion, recording a ridiculous ten shots in the first five minutes of the period while allowing zero shots from

Pair of big wins for BullsSudbury. That’s when an un-disciplined Bulls penalty al-lowed Sudbury their second powerplay of the game, and with a Mathew Campagna slapshot from the point the Wolves took a 3 - 1 lead. This didn’t seem to dissuade the Bulls all that much as they continued their furious as-sault on the Sudbury net, but they just couldn’t force one home despite dominating in possession and shots on goal. Of course, that’s when the Wolves decided to take their biggest lead of the night, and with a pretty piece of pass-ing took a sizable 4 - 1 lead midway through the second period, forcing Burnett to pull M. Subban in favour of backup Charlie Graham.

“The mood was a little sombre as you would expect it to be, but there’s still lots of hockey to go,” Burnett said of his team after falling behind 4 - 1.

For the Bulls, that’s when the floodgates opened. Less than a minute after Graham entered the game, Gaunce scored his 22nd goal of the season to narrow the lead to 4 - 2, and a few minutes later J. Subban made a great move to get to the front of the net and snap home his second of the game; 26 seconds later, Zharkov got into the act by scoring his 18th goal of the season, and after allowing three goals in less than five minutes Sudbury was forced

to take a timeout. It didn’t make much dif-

ference. Less than a minute after

Zharkov knotted the score at 4 - 4, Bulls forward Jo-seph Cramarossa was hauled down on his way to the net, but Gaunce was there for cleanup duty to give the Bulls their first lead of the game at 5 - 4 heading into the third period. The Bulls outshot the Wolves by an al-most unheard of margin, 27 - 4 in the second period.

It was always going to be tough to follow up a pe-riod like that, but for some Bulls fans the more sedate pace of the third period may have been exactly what they wanted. The Bulls clamped down on defence, allowing only six shots on goal and both J. Subban and Gaunce completed their hat tricks in the third period: Subban on a shot from the point and Gaunce with an empty net goal. Sudbury managed to

make the closing minutes interesting, but could not overcome their second pe-riod breakdown and lost by a final score of 7 - 5.

The Bulls win combined with a win and a loss by the Eastern Conference-leading Barrie Colts, left the Bulls a point back of the Colts for first place in the conference, setting the stage for a first-place showdown on Monday, February 18, at the Yardmen Arena in Belleville. Malcolm Subban made 29 saves, Jo-seph Cramarossa scored on a third-period penalty shot and the Bulls took sole pos-session of first place in the Eastern Conference with a 3 - 0 victory. Both teams went 0 for 5 on the powerplay in a game that was largely de-fined by each team’s defen-sive prowess.

The atmosphere inside the Yardmen Arena was electric to start the game with 3,664 in attendance, and the Bulls responded by controlling the

pace of play early on. Neither team had many opportuni-ties to score, but as the pe-riod drew to a close Belleville found themselves ahead in shots 10 - 7.

The second period was a back-and-forth affair with both teams finding time on the powerplay, but the Bulls were the team to break the deadlock. Tyler Graovac scored his team-leading 31st goal of the year on a rebound just over five minutes into the period, and M. Subban was a rock in goal making 12 saves and with a 1 - 0 lead the Bulls headed into the third period.

The final frame was fairly even, up until Cramarosa was hauled down on a breakaway with about eight minutes left. Choosing the deke over the shot, Cramarossa put the puck to his backhand and slid it just inside the post as the Yardmen Arena went wild. Gaunce put home an empty net goal to seal the win.

Quinte West Hawks still � ying

By Ray YurkowskiEMC Sports - Trenton The Quinte West Hawks were almost perfect last week in OMHA play-off action.

The juvenile squad swept their semi-fi nal series last weekend with a lopsided win over the Napanee Stars.

From the opening face off, the Hawks looked hungry for a win as they dominated the game throughout. It took one minute and ten seconds to score the fi rst goal and, from there, they never looked back. Final score: 10 - 0 Hawks, and an opportunity to defend their Juvenile A championship.

Connor Gunter (two), Kai Sorvari (two), Adam Wall (two), Brock Baragar, Devin McCann, Eric McDonald and Colin Patrick scored the goals with assists from Gunter (three), Matt Parker (three), Josh Leavey, McCann, Zach Makarchuk, Cody Warren and Wall.

But scoring goals was only half the story as Hawks de-fenders played a big role in helping goaltender Mitch Sweet to a shutout victory. Napanee managed fewer than ten shots on net throughout the entire game.

During the game, the Hawks scored in every con-ceivable situation: at regular strength, on the power play and even shorthanded. One shorthanded goal came with two players in the penalty box.

“The special teams are on fi re,” said coach Corey Ignas, after the game. “We’ve paid special attention to that over the past month.”

Matt Miller scored the goals with assists from Hamilton and Miller in the 3 - 2 victory.

According to the coaching staff, game three featured the best performance of the series for the Major Bantam squad, a 9 - 0 victory to sweep the Wildcats and advance to the semi-fi nal round. Hamilton (two), Miller (two), Adam Blakely, Lewis, Tedford, White and Whyte provided the fi repower with help from Robby Ellis (two), Hamilton (two), Blakely, Coens, Josh Hogan, Hum and goaltender Tyler Freeman, who picked up all three wins in net. No-tably, the Hawks defence held the Wildcats to fewer than ten shots on goal throughout the game.

The Bantams will play the winner of the Barrie Colts - NobleKing Knights quarter-fi nal series, with the Colts taking a two-game lead into game three, to be played at press time on Wednesday.

The Novice Hawks capped a sweep of their own as Ken-drick Webster (two), Raiden Andrechuk, Jacob Parsons and Cole Stevenson powered a 5 - 3 victory last week over the Whitby (White) Wild-cats. Webster (three), Ethan Quick (two), Andrechuk and Lex Butler picked up assists while goaltender Cole Kirby registered the win in net. The novice squad now await the results of another quarter-fi -nal series before starting play

in the best-of-fi ve semifi nal round.

It had to happen sooner or later, a play-off loss among the big four Quinte West teams—Novice, Major Ban-tam, Midget and Juvenile—as the Midget crew split the fi rst two games of their quarter-fi -nal series against the Uxbridge Stars on the weekend. Game one, a 2 - 1 overtime loss, was followed by a 5 - 2 home-ice victory. Alex Leclerc (two), Jordan Boutilier, Cole Ham-

ilton, Will Lamoureux and Andy Paul scored the goals with assists from Hamilton (three), Lamoureux (three), Leclerc (two), Mason Conley, Matt Laidley, Paul and Derek Shields. Goaltender Kevin Valdes picked up the win in net. Game three of the best-of-fi ve series will be played tonight (February 21) at Ux-bridge with game four sched-uled at 7 p.m. at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Arena in Trenton.

Now the concern is down-time, as the Hawks await their fi nal opponent of the season and the other semi-fi nal (Erie North Shore Storm against the East Gwillimbury Eagles) hasn’t even begun. According to the OMHA play-off calen-dar the series must be com-plete by March 10 and that could keep the Hawks idle for more than three weeks.

How do you keep a team ready for play-off hockey with a possible long layoff looming?

“You try to pick up as much extra ice as you can,” said Ignas. “Our plan is to hit the YMCA, do some off-ice drills and keep their legs in game shape.”

When asked if the Hawks had a preference on which team they would rather see in the fi nal, the coaches agreed:

East Gwillimbury.“It’s a lot closer,” said Ignas,

with a laugh. “It’s only two hours down the road instead of fi ve.”

The Bantam Hawks re-main perfect throughout the provincial play-offs, as they skated to their third consecu-tive sweep, while outscoring the Whitby (Blue) Wildcats 19 - 3.

In game one, Mason Hum (three), Dawson Whyte (two) Nick Jones and Matt Tedford powered the Hawks to a 7 - 1 victory with assists from Jones (three), Tedford (two), Ethan Coens, Justin Lewis, Connor Taylor, Andrew White and Dawson Whyte.

The Hawks won game two by the smallest margin of victory they have achieved throughout the play-off run. Jaydon Hamilton, Jones and

Horses help people become stronger emotionally

Lisa Young is shown with her horse Casey along Hearns Road in Frankford. Horses can help people suffering from mental or emotional health issues. Photo: Kate Everson

By Kate EversonEMC News - Frankford - A new program is about to start up this spring which will help people with mental or emotional health issues learn how to be stronger. The secret is in the horse.

“Equine Assisted Learn-ing helps clients learn about themselves,” says Lisa Young, who is start-ing the group with support fromTrent Community Cor-rections where she works as executive director.

Lisa has taken several courses and is excited about bringing the program to this area.

“I heard about it two years ago and fell in love with it,” she says from her Hearns Road home. “It is all about interaction with a horse.”

The team includes a mental health specialist, an equine specialist, the client and a horse. The client is introduced to the horse and the learning begins.

“Participants learn about themselves and others by taking part in activities with horses and then processing thoughts, beliefs, behaviours and patterns,” she explains.

Unlike therapeutic rid-ing, the sessions are all done from the ground. There is already a QUINTRA group operating out of Stirling which involves riding for therapy and this is not a du-plicate of that program.

“I have always loved horses,” Lisa adds. “I have to do this.” She bought a horse two years ago and rides her 20-year-old paint quarter-horse, Casey, from a neigh-bour’s farm as often as she can.

“It’s my escape,” she says with a smile.

She has contacted the Rescue Horse program in Ottawa and will have 15-year-old “Mae” as the fi rst horse in this program. She has also found a home for the horse rent-free for

the first year at Linda and John Dempsey’s farm on Frankford Road.

“This is super exciting,” Lisa says.

They are still raising money to help pay for the costs of the program which include the horse’s feed, veterinary bills and bed-ding.

“It costs about $5,000 to sponsor a horse for a year,” she said. She is also hoping to get another horse retired from the RCMP Musical Ride program, which has been offered to her.

“We are looking to the community for support,” Lisa says. “If everyone helped a little, we could do a lot. We need people to help with event planning, marketing, promotions, and anyone with skills we can use.”

A Pennies for Ponies campaign has been taken on by several local busi-nesses to collect change for the program. Donation jars are set up at Inner Peace Spa in Frankford, Steve’s Auto, Patchoulimoon Holistic Health Centre in Trenton, JMT Performance Horses, 426 Squadron at 8 Wing Trenton, Station #7 fire hall in Frankford and Quinte West Youth Centre. En-bridge Pipeline has donated $5,000 and there has already been $750 in donations.

“We have applied to a number of other funding sources and are currently waiting to hear back,” Lisa adds.

More information is

on the web site at <www.freedomreinseal.com> and there is a Facebook link as well.

“Our goal is to have all fencing repairs completed and move the horses onto the farm in April so we can begin programming shortly after,” Lisa says. “However, this means we will need some hay to get us through.”

She says if anyone has a bale of hay to donate that would be greatly appreci-ated. Charitable receipts can be issued, since this is a non-profit program through Trent Community Corrections.

The Equine Assisted Growth and Learning As-sociation (EAGALA) is growing world-wide. Why use horses? As prey ani-mals, horses are acutely aware of their surround-ings and for survival must be able to read signals from their environment. When people interact with them, they become part of that environment, so what the horse notices is not just the behaviour of the person but the underlying emotions and intent.

“Horses are honest, mak-ing them especially power-ful messengers,” Lisa says. “They tune into subtleties

we humans cannot see. Horses mirror human body language. The horse in-stinctively knows you bet-ter than you know yourself. If you change, the horse re-sponds differently.”

She says those who know horses recognize and understand the power of a horse to influence people in incredibly powerful ways.

“Developing a relation-ship with a horse naturally affects you in a positive manner,” she notes.

Lisa says this project is a cutting edge, pioneer ven-ture and the first of its kind in this area to encompass therapeutic and personal growth programs at low cost or no cost for youth (over ten years old) and adults.

There are 420 programs in the United States and 18 in Canada, as well as 109 world-wide. It has helped military and veterans as well as working with the Wounded Warriors pro-gram, corporate team build-ing, cancer survivors, grief and bereavement and there is even a ladies’ night. A Sil-ver Saddle Club for seniors has been set up in some places for seniors from re-tirement homes to interact with farm animals, followed by a cup of tea.

“They love it,” Lisa says. “A lot of seniors grew up on farms. We are hoping to start a group like that here as well.”

For more information contact Lisa at 613-394-3911 or 613-885-9256 or email <[email protected]>.

International Polar Bear Day is coming soon

A local gourmet chef, Tina Moorey, will be doing a live cooking segment on CBC’s show Steven and Chris on February 28. Her specialty gourmet shop in Warkworth, On the Side, opened two years ago. Kincades sweet horseradish jelly from Stirling is one of the products she sells along with imported items from Britain. Photo: Sue Dickens

By Sue DickensEMC Lifestyles - Wark-worth - Accomplished gour-met chef Tina Moorey is no stranger to the world of ce-lebrities but on February 28 she will be one with a guest appearance on CBC’s show Steven and Chris.

It seems customers are eat-ing up her food creations and word of mouth has made her a success. Moorey opened a spe-cialty shop called On the Side at 11 Main Street in Wark-worth two years ago. Five years before she began her customized gourmet catering business.

From her little restaurant in Cobourg she soon learned that gourmet catering was fast becoming a service people wanted. She has catered for Westben and will be cater-ing the upcoming Trent Hills

By John M. SmithEMC Lifestyles - One of my favourite adventure escapades took place just over a year ago, right here in our very own country, when I trav-elled to Churchill, Manitoba, to view the magnifi cent polar bears. Late October and early November are the best times to be there for the polar bear viewing, as they await freeze-up so that they can get out on the ice and hunt for seals.

As a result of that trip, I became a member of “Polar Bears International” <www.polarbearsinternational.org>, an organization dedicated to helping the polar bear by preserving their sea ice home. This conservation group makes a plea: “Reduce your carbon footprint and help wild polar bears!” This can be achieved through the collec-tive impact of our efforts to slow down global warming, and this organization under-takes a number of initiatives and programs to try to do just that, including educational and fi eld programs.

One annual event is “In-ternational Polar Bear Day,” held on February 27; this is

a day we can get involved by participating in the “Ther-mostat Challenge” by simply lowering our thermostats slightly for that day, thus lowering carbon emissions. If we want to make even more of a difference, we can actu-ally positively contribute every day by simply using a programmable thermostat in our home, changing our air fi lters regularly, and by up-grading our insulation. These simple measures, if done by enough of us, would certainly be of benefi t to our environ-ment and they could also help save us some money on our energy bills.

International Polar Bear Day is part of the organiza-tion’s “Save Our Sea Ice” (SOSI) campaign, and its “Project Polar Bear” is a year-ly bi-national contest (Canada and the U.S.A.) that tries to get schools, zoos, museums, aquariums, science centres, etc. to form teams that de-velop community projects that reduce the carbon diox-ide load in the atmosphere. According to Polar Bears In-ternational, in the past four years “the contest participants

Awaiting freeze-up near Churchill, Manitoba.

disappears, polar bears seldom successfully get seals in the open water. Therefore, polar bears’ lives are, traditionally, cycles of feasting and fasting. When the ice is late forming and early thawing (which is the present trend), it cuts down on the feeding season and can ultimately lead to catastrophe for the polar bear population. Times are tough and food sources are greatly diminished when the polar bear is trapped on the land, awaiting freeze-up.

Biologists estimate that there are about 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears left in the world, and over half of them

reside right here in Canada. They’re presently listed as a “Species of Special Concern” in Canada.

When I fl ew up to Churchill, on the southern tip of Hud-son Bay, I was a participant in a “Tundra Buggy Adventure Tour” with “Frontiers North” <www.frontiersnorth.com>, and this proved to be a great way to get “an up close and personal” look at these mag-nifi cent creatures. The large tundra buggy took me right out to where the polar bears were awaiting freeze-up, and the vehicle’s large win-dows could be moved up and down for those special photo ops. There was also an out-side viewing platform, which could be used when the ve-hicle was stopped, and the tundra buggy was equipped with both a washroom (nec-essary since I spent the entire day out on the vehicle) and a propane stove (which provid-ed welcome heat, for it can get very cold out on the tundra).

There was something very special, even euphoric, about that fi rst polar bear sighting in the wild, and that special mo-ment was soon followed by

many subsequent sightings, too. Each bear seemed to have its own personality—and was fascinating—and I never tired of these encounters! I watched large males “sparring” (play fi ghting), and I saw bears burrowing in the kelp and small accumulation of snow to make a bed for a rest break. I also watched bears saunter-ing along the shoreline and on small patches of frozen ice, and I learned that they placed their back paws in the exact spots where their front paws had been. I also learned that these mammoth creatures distribute their weight in such a way that they can walk on ice that’s even too thin for humans! I also had the good fortune to see one curious polar bear approach our tun-dra buggy and check it out by standing on its back legs and stretching up to a height of about ten feet, with its front paws actually on our vehicle!

That day on the tundra was, indeed, special, a bucket list moment, and I hope these magnifi cent creatures contin-ue to gather near Churchill, Manitoba, every autumn for generations to come.

Civic Awards.Moorey now has a staff of

30 “certifi ed and uniformed” staff who provide gourmet catering for large and small venues from Toronto to Trent Hills to Prince Edward Coun-ty.

In fact catering a wedding

for a Warkworth couple is how she met the famous TV celebrity couple Steven Saba-dos and Chris Hyndman.

“Neil Graham and Wayne Sabados asked me to cater their wedding here,” said Moorey. Wayne is Steven’s brother.

“It was the show’s producer

who contacted me and asked me to do a cocktail party on their show,” she said, taking it all in stride.

She is not worried about showcasing her talents on what will be a live segment.

“I’m not nervous because I know what I am doing and I know them [Steven and Chris]. And besides van loads of people I know from this area are going to be there,” she added grinning.

Moorey has been cooking since she was very young.

She was born and raised in England with a Spanish mother and British father who “liked to think outside the box.”

“My father loved to cook,” she said, noting she grew up in the south of England on the beach and so the family ate seafood every day.

“We always had a big kettle going and in that would go seafood, wine and saffron and that was our bouillabaisse,” she said.

That’s when her love of do-ing something different with food began to percolate.

Coming to Canada in the mid 1970s she took a different career path for a while, open-ing a beauty salon with a part-ner who had property in the Warkworth area.

She was a skin and body

therapist and clients included the likes of Betty Oliphant, as-sociate artistic director of The National Ballet of Canada and Sheila Ann Martin, wife of the former Prime Minister Paul Martin.

Leaving the world of gour-met clients she returned to her love of gourmet cooking.

Moorey’s 800-square-foot specialty shop here features condiments and products both local and from Britain. Her partner of 22 years, Sharon Clarke, helps with the busi-

ness. She is in the process of developing a new line of chut-neys and jams with local or-ganic farmers.

As if her days aren’t busy enough she has started teach-ing gourmet cooking at Grey-stone House and Gardens owned by Carol Dove. The Thai and Indian classes sold out.

For now though she is fo-cused on what she will prepare for the two six-minute TV segments.

One of her choices is roasted beetroot hummus. The audi-ence will just have to wait and see what her culinary talents will serve up.

have reduced CO2 by over 200 million pounds. What’s more, their efforts have had a ripple effect, inspiring long-term change in communities through ongoing projects.”

Polar bears simply need the ice to survive, for they use a platform of ice to reach their main food source: ring seals. These seals will use their sharp claws on their forefl ip-pers to make several breath-ing holes, “aglus,” in the fro-zen ice, but when they later surface to breathe, the polar bear will be patiently awaiting their prey! Polar bears will also stalk seals found basking on the ice itself. When the ice

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - Calling the situation “shame-ful” and “unconscionable,” Barb Ashbee warned a packed Norwood Town Hall about the illnesses she and her hus-band experienced when they lived near industrial wind turbines. Admittedly not op-posed to wind turbines when proposals near her Shelburne home were first discussed, Ashbee, now living in Mono, is more than happy to talk to audiences about her and her husband’s personal seven-month-long ordeal living near turbines.

She remains a harsh critic of the provincial government and its reluctance to heed “peer reviewed research from medical professionals being conducted all over the world” and to call a moratorium on developments until proper health studies have been completed and those living near turbines are helped out.

“It is unconscionable that any company or government would continue to recklessly put more families in harm’s way,” Ashbee told an audience increasingly concerned about a proposed three-turbine, 5 MW project west of Hastings in Asphodel-Norwood.

“Do not allow anyone to place your residents in this vulnerable position. Once done, it’s impossible to back up.

“While not every home may be affected, far too many

are,” she saysThe turbines emit a loud

cyclical noise and low fre-quency vibrations and those noises change frequently de-pending on wind speed, wind direction and weather, said Ashbee.

Before the turbines, she says she and her husband were healthy and had no pre-existing medical conditions.

“We were not anti-turbine. We had not heard anything about adverse effects they were having in other areas.”

But in the span of seven months they became so ill they had to leave their home experiencing a range of symp-toms, everything from chest pressure, ringing in the ears, heart palpitations to nausea, dizziness and sleep depriva-tion.

Her husband was even di-agnosed with hyperthyroid-ism, a condition that disap-peared once the family had moved away.

All other symptoms van-ished without need of medi-cation after they relocated.

“We suffered from sleep deprivation due to a combi-nation of loud noise from the turbines outside our house that we could clearly hear inside and a vibration which we could feel and hear in the house. The intensity could vary daily.”

Even pets suffered, she said.

“One horrible weekend when the vibration was very

high my cat was found down-stairs hiding behind some furniture, there was vomit all over the room. As the vibra-tion reduced in intensity her vomiting quit. I know it was the vibration that was causing it because we were sick too.”

The “health events are not a coincidence,” she argues.

“They match the stories heard from other families. The degree may vary and the array of turbines around a house may vary but the symptoms match.”

She resents the notion that people make themselves sick simply by worrying about turbines or because they have an “attitude.”

“When you hear about the

families with children that are sick or have animals af-fected how can you suggest that they feel angry because they didn’t get a turbine on their property or they’re not making any money?”

“There are self-sufficient adults with children who’ve had to move in with other family members; some are renting another place to live, paying second rent and utili-ties while their own home remains empty waiting for help.”

“People affected have been stuck for six years in a cy-clone of no resolution and no responsibility has been taken by any government or agen-cy, she charged.
