By Jack EvansEMC News - Belleville - A caucus ses-sion of Belleville City Council Thursday dealt with two property matters, includ-ing a prospective new industry for the city.

Mayor Neil Ellis announced after that council has accepted an offer by a ma-jor United States-based industrial firm for a parcel of land on Lahr Drive in the Northeast Industrial Park.

The result, he added, could be up to 50 new jobs for the city, but further de-tails remain cloaked in secrecy until the deal is final and the company chooses to go public.

The land involved had originally been slated for a new, long-planned fire hall, leaving council with a challenge to

find an alternative site.Council had already decided in recent

days, acting on the advice of its new act-ing fire chief that a better site for the new building should be found.

It is expected that the sale of the in-dustrial property will more than offset the cost of any purchase of new private lands for the fire hall, still scheduled to be started this year.

Fire and city staff will be looking at properties in the Cannifton Road area, closer to the city centre but still well-placed for protection of industrial prop-erties and the city’s growing Thurlow ward.

All such decisions must still be rati-fied in an open council meeting at some point, the mayor reminded.

By Jack EvansEMC News - Belleville - A special meet-ing of Belleville City Council Thursday to ratify tax rates for the current year brought some last-ditch efforts to cut some previ-ously approved budget items. More impor-tant was an announcement that an error by the Municipal Property Assessment Com-mission was spotted by sharp-eyed city finance employees that resulted in a net increase of $5 million in total assessment which, in turn, spread the tax load over a broader base and resulted in a significant lowering of originally budgeted rates.

For example, urban residential tax rate increases fell from 3.59 per cent to 2.4 per cent.

City Treasurer Brian Cousins explained that while the assessment agency, MPAC,

has the final say on all municipal property values, city staff took the trouble to check their findings property by property, more than 17,000 of them. The result was the value of the city’s massive water plant, placed by MPAC on the wrong property and leading to a $5-million error, later con-firmed by MPAC.

“We deserve a raise,” quipped Cousins for his staff as they awaited the outcome of an unexpected caucus meeting.

The new budget includes $500,000 to launch a city-wide compost collection service for all residential assessment. City officials explained that part of that amount will be offset by lower waste disposal costs. Also, for residents, their saving in bag tags at $2.50 each will almost offset

Flood scamBy Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - The Kin You Dig It Kinsmen Community Park fund-raising campaign appears to have struck a chord with the community, as less than two weeks after the campaign kicked off the overall goal of $75,000 has been reached thanks to a pair of anony-mous donors. “I have money pouring in from people all over the city, so I’m really quite blown away by the level of support that we’ve seen from the community,” said local businessman Eric Lindenberg, who has spear-headed the campaign. Officially kicked off on April 11, the campaign started with an anony-mous $50,000 donation toward the $75,000 goal for new playground

Kinsmen campaign a successEMC News - With the recent floods that have been occurring in central Ontario and the state of emergency declarations in a num-ber of our communities, it has come to the attention of the OPP that there are some individuals who may be attempting to fraudu-lently benefit from this situation.

Given these circumstances, the OPP is strongly urging anyone who may wish to support any fund-raising initiatives that may be under way or planned for the future, to make sure they visit the web sites of those communities that have been directly affected by the flood waters. These web sites will assist with identifying how and where donations can be officially directed so that they make it to their intended destination and not into the wrong hands.

equipment. Now, Lindenberg has received yet another anonymous do-nation, this time for $25,000, meaning the fund-raising campaign has reached its goal well ahead of schedule. “I was expecting there would be a groundswell of support, but not to this extent; this is fantastic,” Lindenberg said. The campaign to purchase new playground equipment comes along-side an approximated $1.1 million City of Belleville plan to repair the Kinsmen Community Park pool. Council has also agreed to match any funds Lindenberg is able to raise. With $75,000 in hand, Lindenberg said the goal is moving upward, and that they would now like to raise $100,000 if possible.

Belleville EMC - Thursday, May 2, 2013 3

Error eases city tax ratesthe projected tax increase of about $138 for a typical home whose average as-sessment increase was 1.7 per cent.

Cousins also explained the urgency of passing the rate bylaws to allow for printing and circulation of tax bills un-der normal deadlines to maintain normal revenue flows.

Councillor Jack Miller made an effort to remove two items from the budget, which would have caused substantial delay. He argued the widening of North Front Street at $175,000 might be pre-mature, also a $500,000 environmental

assessment for 200 acres of new indus-trial-zoned land. In the latter case, he was told the amount was already includ-ed in long-range financing and would not affect this year’s rates.

Councillor Jodie Jenkins sought to remove $1 million from a police station reserve. That motion also failed.

Besides composting and the start of a massive $21-million Build Belleville infrastructure program, the new budget also includes a figure of $147,000 for city support of community agencies and projects.

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - With rapidly spiralling costs, an increase in numbers of animals and a lack of donations, the Quinte Humane Society (QHS) is enter-ing a difficult period and is turning to the community for support.

“We are a huge service to our com-munity, and I believe that most people have a soft spot in their heart for ani-mals,” said Cheryl Lepine, public rela-tions for the QHS. “They didn’t ask to be born and they don’t have a voice, so we have to be the voice for them.”

The QHS receives no government funding, and relies entirely on dona-tions from the community to keep the doors open. With an overhead cost of roughly $500,000 in 2012, donations are key in allowing the QHS to service the over 3,000 animals they take in each year. Lepine said the QHS has had as many as 250 cats and 70 dogs at one time, and as the QHS also services farm animals and wildlife, there’s never a shortage of animals that need care.

Quinte Humane Society needs your help

Cheryl Lepine shows two of the recent additions to the Quinte Humane Society, a six-week-old puppy that needed to have an eye removed and an eight-week-old kitten that needed to have its leg am-putated. Photo: Steve Jessel

ten was found wandering the side of the road with a leg bro-ken in two places; the leg had to be amputated. These surger-ies can easily eclipse $1,000, and of the $500,000 overhead costs Lepine said $300,000 per year is spent on medical care and surgeries for animals.

“These are hugely expensive things for us to handle and we find that the donations have been down,” Lepine said. “We need people to start to help us out because we are a very important part of the community, and without us these little animals would be suffering tremendously.”

The QHS has operated in their current location since the

mid-1970s, and accounts for only five paid staff. Volunteers certainly help, but Lepine said the numbers can vary wildly depending on the time of year. Spring and summer are espe-cially taxing times for the QHS, as breeding season means many animals are just being born. With a recent decrease in donations, this has placed the QHS in a difficult situation.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a dollar, or ten dollars, or 100 dollars; every penny counts,” Lepine said, when asked what message she would like to send the community.

EMC Events - On Saturday, May 11, 2013, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., visit any of the more than 430 M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada to sup-port the 25th Anniversary M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day benefiting the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC).

M&M Meat Shops’ franchisees, staff and thousands of volunteers from coast-to-coast will be manning their grills to meet the 25th Anniversary Charity BBQ Day fund-raising goal of $1.3 million. Supporters will re-ceive a hamburger or hot dog, a drink

and a bag of chips for a minimum do-nation of $3. All proceeds raised will go directly to Crohn’s disease and ul-cerative colitis research.

Canada has among the highest re-ported prevalence of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—two similar yet distinct conditions also known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)—in the world. There are more than 233,000 Canadians suffering from IBD and the incidences have been rising, particularly since 2001, and significantly so in children under the age of ten.

“We don’t stop at just domesticated animals,” Lepine said. “We take in farm animals, wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, chipmunks, everything, and we do our best to make sure we do the best for them.”

Two recent additions to the QHS have especially strained their resources. This past week the shelter received two animals needing immediate veterinary assistance: a six-week-old puppy and an eight-week-old kitten. The puppy was brought in by a family after it was at-tacked by another family dog, and after undergoing surgery lost an eye. The kit-

Rotary Club walk aims to “trump” AIDS

Belleville Rotarians, from the left, past co-ordi-nator of the Trump AIDS Poker Walk Doug Peter-son, this year’s co-chairpersons Mark Bishop and Michael Maloney and past president Sam Brady at this year’s event at the Quinte Sports and Well-ness Centre. Photo: Ray Yurkowski

By Ray YurkowskiEMC News - Belleville - The Bel-leville Rotary Club took another step last weekend in winning the war on a deadly disease with their seventh annual “Trump AIDS Poker Walk.”

The walk kicked off at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre in Bel-leville with more than 100 people taking to the streets to raise funds for the cause. How does it work?

“It’s a way to raise money to fight AIDS,” explained event co-chairper-son Michael Maloney. “A team of four people go for a 5.5-kilometre hike down Bell Boulevard and back. Each member of the team raised $250 and for that, they walk around the route and get to pick up seven cards. When they come back, they make up their best poker hand, submit it, and the top three will win prizes.”

As well, each team member who raised $250 had their name entered into a draw for more prizes, including a three-day trip to Las Vegas.

The born-in-Belleville event start-ed in 2007 and, the following year, spread to Toronto.

“They’re having their walk today

The Quinte Grannies for Africa have reached their goal of walking to Kigali, Rwanda. Photo: Submitted

No rest for Quinte GranniesBy Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - The Quinte Grannies for Africa are striding on, and having reached their goal of walking 11,600 kilometres all the way to Kigali Rwanda, are now extending their figurative journey for another 6,000 kilometres until they reach Cape Town, South Africa.

“We were just delighted,” said Diane Raniowski of the Quinte Grannies.

Since a special kickoff event on January 31, the Quinte Grannies and their friends and families have been walking steps in their own communi-ties to match the steps of African grandmothers in countries stricken by the HIV AIDS pandemic. Their goal was to walk millions of steps to reach the Stephen Lewis Foundation project Village of Hope in Rwanda by June 1, and along the way they

have been collecting donations for the Stephen Lewis Foundation Stride to Turn the Tide initia-tive. Last year the group raised over $8,000, and Raniowski said they have likely eclipsed that total already this year.

“Since the AIDS pandemic grandmothers are now raising their grandchildren because they’ve lost their children,” Raniowski said. “Grandmoth-ers in Africa walk everywhere, and they walk be-cause they have to. Carrying the water, carrying foodstuffs, bringing things home … we walk be-cause we can.”

For the next leg of the trip, the Grannies are trekking to Cape Town, collecting donations along the way. To support the Quinte Grannies, go to <stridetoturnthetide.ca>, and for more informa-tion, email <quintegrannies@hotmail.com>.

as well, and between the two, we’ll raise somewhere in the range of $90,000,” says Maloney.

The money will be spent on a num-ber of causes: some locally, in sup-port of a hospice in Toronto; some on a hospital in Zimbabwe, Africa; and some to help the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

“No community is immune,” touts the Trump AIDS web site. “There are 2.6 million new cases each year and one person dies of AIDS every 18 seconds.”

“Essentially, it’s a way the Rotary Club of Belleville has spearheaded an initiative which has raised more than half-a-million dollars over the past seven years to help fight AIDS,” said Maloney. “It’s a great event, and each year, we try to go to the next level. Ideally, this will become the Terry Fox event for AIDS.”

It’s the 75th year for hospital auxiliary

Belleville General Hospital Auxiliary President Jane Batey, centre, receives a plaque in recognition of the auxiliary’s 75th anniversary year from Hospital Board Chair Brian Smith, left, and CEO Mary Clare Egberts, right. Photo: Jack Evans

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - The City of Belleville has received a Green Municipal Fund Grant to help fund a site assessment and remediation plan for the former Bakelite chemical manufacturing property, a 91-acre site on the Bay of Quinte that has been identified as a priority redevelopment area for the city.

“Council considers the former Bakelite property to be a signature brownfield site given its size and prime waterfront location,” said Mayor Neil Ellis in a release. “The city’s support is already reflected in approvals that have been granted under the fund-ing programs of the city’s Brownfields Community Improvement Plan to help in the site’s redevelop-ment potential. The city is pleased that this GMF

funding will further serve to assist in the environ-mental remediation and future development of this parcel of land.”

Currently, the city of Belleville and 2255718 Ontario, the property owner, are conducting a Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment and pre-paring a remediation plan. The property owner identified a range of contaminants of concern in the updated ESA Phase 1, and the Phase 2 Assess-ment will inventory the types, locations and quan-tities of contaminants in soil, sediment, groundwa-ter and surface water in aid of the development of a remedial action and risk management plan.

“As an advocate for a cleaner environment, I am very pleased to have been able to assist in this project for the betterment of our community,” said

MP Daryl Kramp. “In my collaborations with the City of Belleville and Osprey Shores, I have found the local company to be very professional and an asset to the city and our entire region. This proj-ect will help build a greener future for our citizens.”

The property owner will also devel-op ecology manuals and an interactive web site for public education purposes, where the city will share lessons learned about the newly engineered berm that will encapsulate 39,000 cubic metres of contaminated soil.

Former chemical site to be redeveloped

EMC News - Belleville - Belleville General Hospital Auxiliary kicked off its 75th anniversary year Monday with a ceremony in the hospital’s new Sills Wing lobby.

With dignitaries or their letters in lieu of, presentations, a balloon-festooned balcony with 75 red and white balloons and cake, dozens of members of the 300-plus membership basked in praise and thanks for their extensive service over so many years.

Several speakers agreed the hospital could not have functioned without them, including President and CEO Mary Clare Egberts. To sum up the impact of the auxiliary and its many members over the years would be “impossible,” she said.

“The dedicated volunteers have been and continue to be a vital part of

Quinte Health Care Belleville General Hospital. Without their continued support, running this hospital would sim-ply not be feasible.”

She cited some 36,000 hours of service last year alone, plus over the years, the raising and contributing of many hundreds of thousands of dollars for hospital purposes.

She urged the audience to look past the numbers and “focus on the individual acts of kindness—that is where the heart of the auxiliary can be found. It is the café vol-unteer who takes an extra couple of moments to chat with a distraught visitor whose loved one is in the hospital; it is the coffee bar volunteer who offers visiting clergy a free coffee out of respect for their role providing spiritual care in the hospital; it is the knitter who helps ensure every baby born in Belleville General receives a handmade cap; it is the volunteer who provides companionship for a pa-tient experiencing a long stay; it is the library cart vol-unteer and the oncology volunteer who delivers words of encouragement to cancer patients.”

Citing the auxiliary’s motto of “time well spent,” she and Quinte Health Corporation Board Chair Brian Smith presented an ornate plaque to auxiliary president Jane Batey.

Letters of congratulations and praise were read on be-half of Ontario Lieutenant-Governor David C. Onley, MP Daryl Kramp, MPP Todd Smith, and Mayor Neil Ellis.

President Batey said the ceremony marks a “fun-filled year ahead” including a bridge tournament, a Sing ’n’ Swing fund-raising concert featuring the Commodores Or-chestra and For the Love of a Song ensemble, and a golf tournament.

Another speaker was Drew Brown, executive director of the hospital foundation, who said, “There is no way our hospital could function without an auxiliary.” And while the foundation is now the significant fund raiser for the hospital, “We built on a legacy created by the auxiliary.”

Another speaker was Elayne Meharg of Picton, now president of the Ontario Hospital Auxiliary Association, who reported on similar work being done by individual auxiliary groups across the province. She described the dedicated volunteers associated with all of those groups as “a family of volunteers,” and said she has heard one comment from hospitals across Ontario: “We can’t do it without you.”

President Batey also recognized the many contributions from the auxiliary’s Opportunity Shop which operates a thrift store on the Market Square and will mark its own

65th anniversary in October, and also singled out several long-term service members like Grace Grills, 60 years, Marg Bell and Erma Brown, both 50 years. Those three presided for the ceremonial cake cutting.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor,A letter to the editor last week pro-

moted the Conservative position, push-ing an affordable energy act.

The objective of the act, lost on second reading, was to give more power to municipalities, allowing them to con-trol what energy projects (principally wind turbines) they would allow within their jurisdiction. It also stuck in a pro-vision protecting the Niagara Escarp-ment and the Oak Ridges Moraine from wind turbines.

The bulk of the letter by Rolly Ethier (Trying to fathom green energy initia-tive, April 18, 2013, page 7) concerns wind turbines. The whole issue of the value of turbines is complex, but Ethi-er’s contention that turbines are an “eco-nomic catastrophe” and a government “scam” is hyperbole.

I should mention that I fit Ethier’s description of a person who has what he calls “left wing environmental bias,” which he contrasts with “common sense.”

Turbines are undoubtedly expensive. Perhaps not as expensive as nuclear energy, but expensive.

Some say they also damage the health of nearby residents. A 2010 report by Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, called The Potential Health Im-pact of Wind Turbines, concludes that while people living near turbines may experience dizziness, nausea, and sleep disturbance, “the scientific evidence available to date does not demonstrate a direct causal link between wind turbine noise and adverse health effects.”

Other studies refute this claim. The number of conflicting studies out there makes the issue confusing to say the least. Read material by the proponents of wind power and—hey, presto—no health concerns. Read studies from those that reject wind turbines and you’ll find lots of evidence for serious health con-cerns.

Ethier picks on Denmark and their purportedly “crumbling” offshore wind turbines. He says, “the Danes have the

most expensive electricity costs in Eur-ope.” The offshore wind turbines indeed have foundation problems.

Growing pains of a new industry? Unsolvable problems endemic to off-shore turbines? The answer depends upon what you read and how you im-agine we plan for long-term energy. Read a report by the Washington-based Institute for Energy Research, for ex-ample. It absolutely damns the Danish turbine initiative. The institute promotes non-governmental energy sources con-trolled by market forces. That includes, for example, the Keystone XL pipeline. Canadian oil, as our federal government boasts, is run by private interests, un-like the mixed system in Denmark that returns much of their huge oil profits to the people; the institute likes this ar-rangement.

At the other end of the spectrum, there are credible reports refuting the Danish critics. Taking various conditions into account, [they] say these reports claim Danish energy costs are not the highest

in Europe. A Danish institution, Coher-ent Energy and Environmental System Analysis, published a report claiming the more right-wing studies fail to un-derstand how international energy mar-kets function.

Assessing the damage alternatives like coal-fired or nuclear energy plants impose on the planet is not an easy mat-ter. If we pay more directly for wind power, do we pay more indirectly for the damage created by coal-fired plants? By nuclear plants? I have my suspicions, but I don’t really know—and the experts are having lively ongoing discussions about that too.

The Ontario Federation of Agricul-ture, says Ethier, has “condemned the installation of turbines.” That’s not accu-rate. They are seriously concerned about their effect on rural Ontario, would like to see more municipal control and have some pretty austere requirements if tur-bines are installed – but they don’t con-demn. That’s rhetoric.

Ethier’s letter contains more vit-

riol than considered discussion on the value (economic and environmentally) of turbines. Of course, that’s a predict-able thing for me to say: I’m a biased environmental lefty. And Ethier’s a … well, you can figure out his ideological position.

Bottom line: beware of simplistic letters to the editor, especially those that take an ideological position, then debunk their opponents with question-able stats, generating a bit of unwanted hot air energy in the process. (And yes, dear reader, I’m aware of the possible self-referential aspects of that last state-ment.)

I’m not a Liberal, but last year the Liberals began a process that returns some of the autonomy to municipalities re: wind power projects in their area. A scam? A smokescreen? Too little too late? A government responding to rural concerns?

Depends which flag you fly.Sincerely,

Peter R. Snell, Tweed

Trying to fathom ideological bias

Dear Editor,I’ve been receiving regular nasty grams from the Harper Government attacking

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, which I assume are meant to inflame the Conserva-tive base. However, their approach seems to be scattershot in that it seems to be going to Canadians of every political stripe. I even heard from a Liberal friend living in Paris, France, that he’s been receiving them too. The fact they are using my tax dollars to insult my intelligence is getting really annoying. (But then again spending $55 million in the first quarter of this year advertising a program that ended more than two years ago seems like nothing short of insanity too, but that’s just me.)This government went to great pains to express their ire with Mr. Trudeau for stating that it’s appropriate to find the root cause of terrorist incidents in order to prevent them from happening in the first place. What pray tell is wrong with that and why if you deem it to be such a bad idea, has our government invested $10 million to do just that.

We used to be a country of co-operation and compromise, but under the cur-rent government we are becoming a country of fear mongering and acrimony be-cause of the dissemination of half-truths and outright lies. The Harper government has spent a good part of its mandate pitting Canadian against Canadian, religion against religion, province against province, employed against unemployed, and using our tax dollars to do it. That’s wrong on so many levels it’s breathtaking.

I’m not only angry because they are slandering a man I believe will be a great

leader, but because they are doing it at the expense of entire segments of the Canadian mosaic, be they teachers, Muslims or the current enemy du jour causing many to pay a hefty price for the actions of a few. I want my tax dollars spent on worthwhile projects that bring us together not push us apart.

The Harper government can pass all the laws they want to put an end to bullying, but the best way to prevent it is by

example. The only example the Harper Government has set recently is that of professional bully. It’s time to decide once and for all what kind of country we want to be versus the kind of country we are becoming. Our government has it in their power to change that. I have little hope that they will.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

By Terry Bush

Dear Editor,I am writing with respect to the April 18 announcement by

Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews wherein she unveiled her government’s plans to “invest” $156 million to “improve access” for “more seniors” to receive physiotherapy.

In her remarks and accompanying news release, Matthews leaves out that physiotherapy is to be delisted from OHIP coverage effective August 1, 2013. In fact, according to gov-ernment web sites, Ontario regulation 552 has already been amended—with no public consultation whatsoever.

The minister also left out the part about how under the cur-rent system, seniors in long-term-care homes can receive up to 100 treatments per year, and 150 in exceptional cases. This has been in effect since 2005—the last time the Liberal gov-ernment tried, and failed, to delist physiotherapy. In her more recent announcement, Matthews makes no such service level commitment. Even more disturbing is her promise that there will be “more” physiotherapy available in clinics. By com-mitting $44.5 million to treat 150,000 seniors, the govern-ment has allocated a paltry $300 per person, or 12 treatments at a funded rate of $25 per treatment. Currently, seniors can

receive up to 50, or up to 100 treatments, depending on their condition. To say that more people will get some degree of physiotherapy may technically be true; to suggest that any person will receive more just isn’t true. They will receive less.

Finally, the most glaring omission in the minister’s an-nouncement is any reference whatsoever to how the $156 million stacks up against the current funding levels. The current OHIP providers, the Designated Physiotherapy Clin-ics Association, has been advised that the total expenditure for the fiscal year ended March 2012 was $172 million, and that for the fiscal year ended March 2013, it was some $200 million. Obviously, the minister left these details out of her announcement for political reasons—her $156 million an-nouncement is a de facto cut to existing funding. Despite the clever messaging, the numbers just don’t support the minis-ter’s claims that this is an increase.

Sincerely, Joseph Chacko,

Belleville

Cuts to physiotherapy funding

Chemical fantasies and grim realities

EMC Editorial - My wife is trying her darndest to ruin my reputation. I don’t need any help from her, thank you very much.

Earlier this week, she ventured off to Tweed as she does every week. Monday is her day off so she makes the trip to see her physiotherapist, runs a few errands and gets a few groceries. When I got home from work, she calmly mentioned that people in the village had either looked away as she approached or been overly friendly to her. She thought that was a little bit funny. Mare loves to laugh at her-self. I didn’t share her sense of humour. The reason ... she was sporting a brand new shiner on her right eye.

While Mare might find humour in the predicaments she often gets herself into, the optics are terrible.

Luckily I was away camping last weekend when all this happened and I have witnesses. That both are named Steve should have no bearing on the veracity of my alibi, nor should the fact that by night’s end one felt an uncontrollable urge to constantly waltz back and forth despite the lack of music. The other Steve was much more stationary so at least one of my Steves can back me up, maybe two.

Mare’s story goes something like this. Rolly woke her up at 3:30 a.m. to go outside; she let him out and went back to the bedroom. Our dog Bug likes to sleep on the floor near Mare and she was accounted for so Mare turned off the light and headed for the bed. She then managed to trip over something furry that streaked out in front of her and proceeded to plant her face into the wooden bed frame to break her fall. Me, I would have used my hand for that purpose but hey, I’m not Mare.

This would be a good time to throw in an “I told you so” because Mare has heard me swearing numerous times about Lily, our latest Sheltie, who is under the impression that everyone wants to pet her so spends most of the day under-foot. Mare responds to my profanity by saying, “Oh, but she’s so cute.”

Mare is kind of cute right now too if you have a fondness for black-eyed Su-sans and her story is just a little bit more convincing than say, she walked into a door, but as I said I was away for the weekend so I don’t really know what she was up to.

This isn’t the first time this has happened. The poor girl, though long, lean and fit is a bit of a klutz. Back in her twenties, she had a pretty valid excuse as to why she had trouble seeing what her feet were doing. But she’s 52 years old and ten pounds lighter now and gravity as always, takes its toll.

Usually if Mare is in a different room and you hear her go, “Ouch, ouch, ouch,” no question is required. Chances are you’ll see her painting another black toenail later in the week.

Just before her 40th birthday, Mare was pretty beat up from working some insane hours, 55 one week, 25 the next or something like that. Her back was shot and to add insult to more injury, she slipped on the ice in the parking lot while leaving work and really messed things up. She was in so much pain when she got home that she passed out while sitting, lurched forward and once again used her face to break her fall. She hit the tile floor hard; tooth through the lip, broken front tooth, face swollen so much, she hardly looked like herself. What’s a good husband to do?

Well, this husband had to endure a room full of women shooting daggers out of their eyes when he half-carried his wife into the dentist’s office. As luck would have it, many other professionals shared the same waiting room and the place was packed. Feeling a lot like a pincushion, I decided to wait in the car until I had to pick her up.

As for the physiotherapist Mare’s now seeing, she’s helping her out with a shoulder that doesn’t always work the way it should. That one was work-related as well involving a man, a dog and a leash. She broke her fall with her shoulder that time which is a nice change from her usual face first way of doing things.

Unfortunately she doesn’t have any medical benefits at work but I do for the first time in my working career. As far as I’m concerned, that in itself makes me a great husband despite what people may think when they see Mare limping down the street. She constantly hurts herself; I pay for the benefits that fix her up. It’s a match made in heaven.

EMC Editorial - First of all, dismiss all those news stories saying that the Assad regime has started using chemi-cal weapons against its own citizens, and that this has crossed a “red line” and will trigger foreign military intervention in Syria. It is conceivable, though highly unlikely, that Assad’s troops have used poison gas against the rebels. It is not credible that any foreign leader is going

to order his troops to go into Syria and stop the war.The “evidence” for the Assad regime’s use of sarin (nerve

gas) is flimsy, and it’s easy to see why the opposition fighters might choose to fabricate it. Equally flimsy evidence about alleged “weapons of mass destruction” was used to justify the American invasion of Iraq. Why wouldn’t the Syrian rebels have a go at the same game?

Moreover, there is no plausible reason why the Syrian re-gime would use poison gas. It would confer no lasting military advantage on the government forces, and the political costs of being caught doing it would be significant. But even if the ac-cusations were true, it would make no real difference.

President Bashar al-Assad’s Russian and Chinese sup-porters would be embarrassed, but they would not drop their vetoes at the UN Security Council and authorise foreign mili-tary intervention in Syria. And even if they did authorise it, there would be no volunteers for the job.

No Western government–nor any Arab government, ei-ther–is willing to put soldiers on the ground in Syria. Med-dling in a civil war is rarely a good idea, and the Baathist regime’s army could inflict very serious losses on an invader. Even imposing a no-fly zone would mean Western pilots dead or downed, because Syria’s air defences are modern, compe-tent and extensive.

U.S. President Barack Obama may talk sternly about how the use of poison gas by the Syrian regime would be a “game-changer”–but he doesn’t specify just how the game would change. He also spends much more time talking about how shaky the evidence is, because he has no idea what he would actually do if it were true. The one thing we can be sure of is that he would never send American troops in.

So if there is not going to be any foreign military interven-tion, when is the Syrian civil war going to end? Not any time soon.

From time to time the rebels overrun an air base here or a frontier post there. This is usually reported as proof that they

are making progress, but half the time they lose their con-quests back to the regime some weeks or months later. The front lines have scarcely shifted at all in Aleppo in the past six months, and the regime is even recapturing some of the Damascus suburbs that fell to the rebels last year.

The Syrian army lacks the numbers to hold down large tracts of countryside permanently, but it has never let the reb-els close the main north-south freeway that links Damascus, Homs, Hama and Aleppo. Assad’s divisions even re-opened the highway linking Damascus to Tartus and Latakia on the coast recently, after many months of closure. If they are not actually winning the war on the ground, they are certainly not losing it.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar continue to feed weapons to the rebels, but not in quantities that would give them a chance of winning. This is probably because they have become increas-ingly nervous about the kind of regime that would replace Assad’s dictatorship after a military victory. They wanted to replace Assad’s secular regime with a government controlled by Sunni Muslims, but they do not want to put a fanatical Islamist regime in power.

That, at the moment, is precisely what an insurgent victory would produce, for the jihadi extremists of the al-Nusra bri-gades are by far the most effective fighters on the rebel side. The prospect of a radical Islamist regime has also convinced many moderate Syrians that they must prevent the fall of the Assad regime, even though they loathe it.

A year ago, the battle for Syria seemed to be turning into a straightforward struggle between the Sunni Muslim ma-jority, some 70 per cent of the population, and the various minorities, Shia, Christian, Alawite and Druze, who backed the Assad regime because they feared Sunni domination. It’s probably more like 50-50 now, because many Sunni Muslims are equally repelled by the alternative of a radical Islamist tyranny.

There are no opinion polls to confirm this shift in Sunni opinion, but the evidence is there in the loyalty and the com-bat effectiveness of the Syrian army, most of whose rank-and-file troops are Sunni Muslims. So what should we hope for, in this almost hopeless situation?

The least bad outcome, at this stage, would be a stealthy military take-over of the regime that discreetly removed As-sad and his cronies without abandoning the principles of the secular state, and then isolated the jihadis by reaching a gen-erous peace settlement with the other elements of the rebel forces. How likely is that? Not very, unfortunately.

Hastings County council awash in flood dataowed by a flood of information … perhaps that should be information about the flood situation in the Bancroft area of the county.

Carlow-Mayo Reeve Bonnie Adams told news representatives at the start of the morning meeting that when she left home early in the morning, there were still “20 roads flooded.” But she said her township had so far avoided having to call a state of emergency and was cop-ing as long as the situation didn’t get worse.

For Bancroft, where flooding had been a ma-jor concern for the past several days, Deputy-mayor Wayne Wiggins updated councillors on how officials are “sure the worst is over.”

Tracing flooding in the Bancroft downtown area back to the previous Saturday with schools and many businesses closed and a formal “state of emergency” declared, he said, “Schools and businesses are open today and the emergency shelter is to close this afternoon.”

He said his community wants to thank coun-ty council and its staff for support during the flood and he praised the training and skills of the county’s emergency services personnel who assisted.

Starting with the flood situation Saturday, “an emergency team was called,” he said, “and it met every two hours as a state of emergency was called. We faced many difficult situations and solved them.”

Because of the involvement of several north-ern municipalities and their representatives with flood concerns, a meeting to discuss road infrastructure needs with a consultant’s study originally set to follow Thursday’s session was postponed.

Wrapping up its $12.5-million budget passed at the March session, council quickly passed four bylaws to establish tax rates, to apply cap-ping parameters on the various classes of as-sessment, to confirm tax ratios for residential, commercial, industrial and pipeline assessment categories and to apportion federal gas tax

among the 14 municipalities. County CEO Jim Pine said the gas tax for

this year was what the administration had ex-pected and therefore no surprise, but it is, he said, “generous” and a big help for the county.

Also approved was a bylaw allowing a major

new subdivision in the Marmora community to go ahead. The draft approval for the developer, called Queen’s Plate Development Corpora-tion, means work on the first of three phases for the 222-unit subdivision should start this year, said one councillor.

Belleville EMC - Thursday, May 2, 2013 9

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - For the 14th year, the annual Good Baby Box Food Drive “Feed Our Future” is appealing to members of the community to contribute to a worthwhile cause, and with a signifi cant increase of demand for the Good Baby Box program the Community Development Council of Quinte is aiming high this year with a goal of 4,200 jars of baby food.

“We called it Feed Our Future, because we feel that’s exactly what we’re doing when we’re feeding babies in our commu-nity,” said Ruth Ingersoll, ex-ecutive director of Community Development Council of Quinte. “We’re feeding into our future and making them healthy babies that become healthy children, that become healthy adults, and so our community is essentially going to be healthier.”

From Mother’s Day to Fa-ther’s Day, May 12 to June 16, the food drive is asking for mon-etary donations or jarred baby food to be dropped off at the development council offi ce at 249 William Street, Belleville. The food drive directly benefi ts the development council Good Baby Box program, which pro-vides parents and families with items such as food and diapers at reduced costs. In 2012, the Good Baby Box program dis-tributed 4,013 of these boxes to 726 families in Hastings Coun-ty. Through the fi rst quarter of 2013, the program has already had roughly 425 families register so far, an increase of 33 per cent as compared to 2012, prompting the food drive to set a new goal of 4,200 jars of baby food.

“That would give us a good base for this year, a good start, and hopefully we wouldn’t have

to be going out and buying as many jarred foods,” Ingersoll said.

The program is open to any-one, and Ingersoll said that’s probably a good reason for the growing demand. With many people wishing to stay home to care for their babies for the fi rst year, the program offers a way to help make ends meet while costs of items are constantly spiralling upward.

“Sometimes people think ‘What’s one jar of baby food go-ing to do?’ but you realize that you’re helping a program that’s actually feeding babies and help-ing to make our community bet-ter just one jar at a time,” Inger-soll said. “Those little gestures … you realize how much of a difference they can make in peo-ple’s lives.”

Ingersoll also encourages any-one who is interested in contrib-

By Jack EvansEMC News - Belleville - High on a wall overlooking the Belleville Bulls’ ice surface is a sign proudly proclaim-ing support for the Quinte Children’s Foundation.

The 21-year-old local foundation, associated with the Children’s Aid Society, assists children with extra needs—and that includes getting in-volved with sports.

Connie Reid, executive director of the foundation, said the “Build a Player” program is one of the founda-tion’s busiest, helping young people with equipment or other needs to get involved in or play any kind of sport.

So it was highly suitable that Bren-dan Gaunce, captain of the Belleville Bulls and one of the team’s most pop-ular stars, felt the same way.

Gaunce, a fi rst round draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks, showed up Tuesday with his personal donation of $1,500 toward the Build a Player program.

Gaunce recalled that his siblings helped him out when he was young with equipment when he was grow-ing up in Markham as his family did not have enough money to buy new stuff.

“I actually used my sister’s gear when I fi rst began playing,” he re-called, adding, “I thought this would be a good way to give back to the community that has supported me so well.”

uting to hold food drives of their own in support of the program. Donations can also be picked up if necessary by calling the offi ce at 613-968-2466.

Bulls star aids young wannabees

Reid welcomed the gift and said it would probably be used for special equipment needs, such as helmets.

She added: “Not only is Brendan one of the Ontario Hockey League’s best forwards, he’s a pretty good guy too.”

Belleville EMC - Thursday, May 2, 2013 11

By Steve JesselEMC News – Belleville - Hundreds of job-seekers and dozens of employers congregat-ed at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre on Thursday, April 25, for the sixth year of the Quinte Region Career and Training Fair, a joint event put together by the cities of Belleville and Quinte West and Employ-ment Ontario Service Providers.

“It’s been a really successful day, and overall I think everyone has been very hap-py with the results,” City of Belleville De-velopment Research Assistant Angela Allen said.

“The employers have had very positive comments, there’s been positions hired right on the spot today,” added Linda Lisle, man-ager of Economic Development for Quinte West.

More than 700 job-seekers had a chance to connect with 36 employers at the twice-annual event, which also holds a fair in the fall. Trades, second careers and training op-portunities offered the diverse crowd of po-tential employees a wide range of options, and for the first time a number of career-related workshops were also offered, some-thing that has potential to become a perma-nent fixture at the event.

“We’re assisting employers with their hiring needs, and the other element is that we’re helping our residents that are looking

for jobs,” Lisle said. Belleville company Vantage Foods has

been attending the career fair for the past three years, and HR Manager Rob Yorki said that in the past the fair has provided plenty of activity for the company. He added that they planned on hiring some 15 part-time operators and a number of skilled trade em-ployees, and with over 200 resumes in hand there was certainly no shortage of interest. For Yorki, one of the biggest advantages of attending career fairs is the opportunity to gauge applicants face to face.

“I think the meeting allows you to vali-date whether or not they have those soft skills,” he said. “Engaging them in conver-sation, asking them some questions about their previous experience, whether or not they ask you questions about what the orga-nization does, I think that helps you identify whether or not what they say on the resume is actually factual.”

The job seekers themselves covered all demographics, from recent and upcoming high school and college graduates to those looking for a new or second career. The spring fair tends to draw in more students than the fall fair, but Lisle said the fair isn’t aimed at anyone in particular.

“It provides like a one-stop shop, and it’s a great networking opportunity for the em-ployers as well,” Lisle said.

Belleville hosts � rst-ever Jane’s Walks this weekendEMC Events - Belleville joins hundreds of cities around the world celebrating communi-ties and neighbourhoods with Jane’s Walks this Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5.

Fans of Belleville’s down-town, its farmers’ market, busi-nesses, trails, waterfront and history, invite all to take part in three separate Jane’s Walks. Everyone involved is a volun-teer, the walks are free, infor-mal, and will last about an hour

and a half.After Saturday’s walks end

at noon, walkers can see down-town history and other displays at the Core Centre at the corner of Pinnacle and Patterson, have a coffee, and continue conver-sations about the walks and their city.

The free and fun walks are named for Toronto urban thinker and activist Jane Jacobs whose 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American

Cities, changed the way people look at cities.

With the destruction by fire of the landmark Quinte Hotel this winter and at least two large empty buildings in the core of the city, some think downtown Belleville is at a critical point in its redevelopment.

So the first Jane’s Walk, titled Meet Me at the Four Cor-ners, meets Saturday at 10:30 a.m. outside Century Place. Led by Orland French, past presi-

dent of the Hastings County Historical Society and former Globe and Mail columnist and reporter, the walk will look at downtown Belleville close up.

It will stop at alleyways, de-caying buildings and vibrant ones, look at graffiti, public art, and mixed use and historic buildings, and will end at the farmers’ market.

The second Jane’s Walk is an accessible fitness walk behind buildings on the west side of Front Street. Called Back Side for your Backside, the walk and

workout will be led by three 20-something Bellevillians: fitness expert Ashton Calnan, Hannah Chittenden, geologist, and Sarah Tummon, BDIA ex-ecutive director. Meet them outside Century Place Saturday at 10:30 and then head off to Front Street’s backside along the Moira.

On Sunday, May 5, the third Jane’s Walk, Down by the Bay, will be led by landscape archi-tect Kevin Tribble, a designer of the city’s widely used Bay-shore Trail. Meet at the boat

launch at the end of South George Street at 1 p.m. This walk and Saturday’s Meet Me at the Four Corners Walk will be interpreted by ASL inter-preter Mary Tiessen.

People take Jane’s Walks to explore neighbourhoods and meet their neighbours. Since their 2007 beginnings, Jane’s Walks have been held from Guelph to Guadalajara, and in 2012, in 85 cities and 17 coun-tries around the world; <www.janeswalk.net>. Rain or shine, all three walks will go ahead.

Tweed men � ned for illegal bass � shingEMC News - Two Tweed men have been fi ned a total of $2,000 and had their fi shing licences suspended for one year after illegally catching and keeping four bass during the closed season.

Rodney Scott pleaded guilty and was fined $500 for catching and retaining one bass during the closed sea-son.

Rodney Wood pleaded guilty and was fined a total of $1,500 for catching and retaining three bass during the closed season. Both men’s fish were seized and forfeited to the Crown.

Court heard that on February 9, 2013, Scott and Wood were angling on Haley Lake, north of Erinsville, near the Sheffield Conservation Area. A conservation officer and canine team surprised the pair by arriving in a ministry helicopter. With the assistance of the canine team, four bass were detected that were hidden in the snow.

Justice of the Peace Donna Doelman heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Napanee, on April 17, 2013.

The ministry reminds anglers that seasons, along with catch and possession limits, are in place to ensure the sustainability of fishery resources.

For further information on fishing regulations, please consult the 2013 Recreational Fishing Regulations Sum-

mary, available at ServiceOntario/Government Information Centres, li-cence issuers and at <ontario.ca/fish-ing>.

To report a natural resources vio-lation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during reg-ular business hours.

Officers will be on the water for fishing derbyBy Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - Officers will be on the water this weekend monitoring fishermen for infractions of the law.

“We will be checking for licences and limits,” said Kyle Wood, Conservation Officer for MNR out of Picton.

His 25-foot-long Stanley with twin 150 HP Evinrude motors is up for the job.

Alongside him will be the marine patrol from the OPP of Quinte West and Centre Hastings.

“Impaired boating is what we are looking for,” said Bruce McCullough, media relations with the Quinte West OPP. “It is just as serious in a boat as it is in a car.”

Rob Donohoe, marine officer with the OPP, said they have a 14-foot aluminum boat and Centre

Hastings will bring its 18-foot Harbourcraft for the bay.

“Safety is our first priority,” Donohoe said. “We want to remind everyone to have the proper equip-ment in their boat, including life jackets, naviga-tion lights and their Pleasure Craft Operating Card. And absolutely no alcohol. We want everyone to be safe.”

The OPP has zero tolerance for alcohol. At least 40 per cent of all power-boating fatality victims had a blood alcohol level above the legal driving limit. The penalty for impaired boating is the same as impaired driving or an automobile and will re-sult in a Criminal Code conviction.

The OPP and the Ministry of Natural Resources have always enjoyed a close working relationship. The focus is on safety.

EMC News - Patients moving from hospital to home will re-ceive additional care to ensure a successful recovery through the local Community Care Access Centre’s Rapid Response Nurse Program.

The South East CCAC has hired five nurses to reduce hos-pitalization and avoidable emergency department visits by improving the quality of transition from hospital care to home care for medically vulnerable seniors and children.

Rapid Response Nurses will care for patients with com-plicated health needs in consultation with CCAC care co-ordinators, community nurses and other community health providers by making a home visit within the first 24 hours after the patient is discharged home from the hospital for pa-tients at high risk of readmission.

“Rapid Response Nurses complement the care provided by our care co-ordinators and community nurses,” said Jac-queline Redmond, CEO of the South East CCAC. “Our aim is to help people stay at home safely and independently by

providing access to the clinical care and community supports that patients need. Rapid Response Nurses have an impor-tant role to play in helping us achieve that goal.”

The nurses will assess high-risk pa-tients once they’ve returned home to catch deteriorating symptoms or com-plications and prevent readmission to hospital by connecting a patient with a primary care provider, providing medi-cation review and ensuring patients receive appropriate home supports as quickly as possible to help them stay at home safely.

This program is based on research which shows that making a successful transition from hospital to home is de-pendent on a few critical factors and ear-ly interventions. Rapid Response Nurses will help patients understand their illness and how to take prescribed medications, arrange for follow-up medical appoint-ments or tests and connect with their pri-mary care providers, ensuring everyone has necessary information about each step of the patients’ journey.

“It’s really a visit to stabilize and transition patients at home and link them with primary care. That includes ensur-ing that patients are coping well on their own, understand the hospital discharge plan including medication they should be taking and how and when to take it,” says Redmond. “The goal is to help peo-ple make the transition home safely. It is anticipated that patients will receive the knowledge they need to understand their illness and their part in managing it, as well as the necessary services in place to stay at home safely and independently.”

Funded by the Local Health Integra-tion Network, the South East Commu-nity Care Access Centre helps approxi-mately 12,500 individuals live safely at home and in their communities each day. The CCAC works with service pro-viders as well as clients, their caregiv-ers and families who all have a part in meeting the goal of helping people live safely in their own home for as long as possible.

Belleville EMC - Thursday, May 2, 2013 15

Hospital board passes “risky” budget

By Jack EvansEMC News - Belleville - Director of Finance Brad Harrington called it a budget full of “aggressive assump-tions and risky,” but he also expressed confidence that Quinte Health Care can make it work as the hospital board passed a budget totalling just over $200 million Tuesday, April 23.

Of that, $7.5 million is for capital projects, which includes new high-tech information systems for all four hospi-tals in the Quinte Health Care complex. Another portion is $2.5 million for medical equipment, including replace-ment of some X-ray machines as old as 20 years.

The big challenge was the operating budget of $193 million. Faced with re-duced revenue from the province and steadily rising costs for employees, drugs and other inflationary factors, Harrington, all senior staff members and the board have been fighting to overcome a deficit projected at nearly $10 million over the past few months.

The largest single chunk of the defi-cit, Harrington admitted, was some one-time funding of more than $3 mil-lion from the Ministry of Health the previous year, leaving QHC scrambling to make up for that for 2013-2014.

Board members were enthusiastic with their praise for the final results of the budget.

One board member described it as “a stunning accomplishment,” and asked: “What can we do to help?”

Harrington replied: “Just be prepared for some financially challenging waters ahead. There will be some bad days.”

He particularly referred to the early months of the new budget year when several key measures will not be in place. Some major bed reductions, for instance, will be phased in toward the latter half of the year, leaving some large deficits in early months, but hope-fully resulting in a balance at the end of the year.

Any hope of additional help from the province, apart from those figures included in the new budget, must await the new provincial budget on May 2 and results of that may not be known until into June.

Harrington also described some new revenue-generating ideas, such as ne-gotiations with the federal government on some HST costs and exploring other revenue-generating ideas.

Officials of the Tri-County Foundation which set out seven years ago to raise $10 million for hospital equipment, attended the April Quinte Health Care board meeting Tuesday bringing a cheque for $280,000 as the latest installment toward the goal. Spokesperson Lyle Vanclief noted the total now exceeds $9 million. The donation brought big smiles from hospital officials.

President and CEO Mary Clare Egberts, Board Chair Brian Smith and other board members agreed that the tough budget is the start of a new era in hospital care as mandated by the Ontario Ministry of Health.

Egberts said hospitals can no longer be measured by the number of beds they offer, but by access and quality of care. “Hospitals will become just a piece of the health care sys-tem,” she said.

She also stressed the importance of operating all four hospitals in the QHC community for the best interests of their respective communities and especially the patients.

Her thoughts were confirmed by Chair Smith who invit-ed a motion to “re-affirm” the board’s oft-stated position to maintain all four hospitals.

The motion reads in part: “Our hospitals will each have a 24-hour emergency room and the appropriate number of inpatient beds;

“Our four hospitals will work togeth-er in an integrated manner to improve the delivery and access and care for all of the citizens in our communities;

“QHC will work with our local health care partners to meet the needs of the patients in an integrated manner for services not delivered within the hospital.”

The motion also spells out the role of each facility:

“Belleville General will continue to

be the secondary level hospital for the region, providing the bulk of specialized services;

“Trenton Memorial will continue to develop as a regional centre of ambulatory care with day surgery and a range of other regional outpatient services;

“Prince Edward Memorial will continue to be a rural hos-pital serving the residents of Prince Edward County. QHC will continue to advocate for our model that was developed in partnership with the Prince Edward Family Health Team to create a fully integrated hospital and health care centre in Picton;

“North Hastings will continue to offer primary hospital-based services closer to home.”

The board’s next meeting will be May 28 and will be held in Bancroft.

ENTERTAINMENT

The Barn Theatre entertainsBy Ray YurkowskiEMC Entertainment - Brighton - The Barn Theatre spring production of You’re Only Young Twice tells the tale of elderly widower, Brooksie (Tim Bro-

die), turned rebellious teenager, whose antics are the cause of dismay for his daughter (Trisha Trudeau) and son-in-law (Shawn Dubeau), following the death of his beloved wife Grace (Pat Dunn).

With dialogue along the lines of “do you know what time

he got in last night?” and “‘I will not stand for this behaviour in my house,” it’s a funny look at role reversal as, this time, it’s the parent who refuses to abide by the rules of the house.

Dramatically, some poignant mo-ments come with the introduction of the spirit of Grace, mostly while Brooksie is alone and the rapport between them is moving.

“She just wells me up every time she comes on the stage,” says show direc-tor Sharron McMann, who directs Barn Theatre productions only once every two years.

“Because it’s community theatre, the first goal is to make sure the group has fun. We all come out because we have the same passion and I like to put in a long break in rehearsals so they do come together.

“Second is, we do a show that we’re proud of and third is putting on a pro-duction the audience will enjoy.”

McMann openly admits to living through some opening-night jitters.

“It’s not so much nervous, but more like excited,” she says. “I want every-thing to go really well for the actors. But once opening night has started, it’s really up to them. And it’s not only the actors, there are a hundred things that could wrong backstage.”

“I also love watching the audience react,” she added, and opening night didn’t disappoint. “They’re laughing at the right times.”

The show features newcomer George Lamoureux, who plays Tom, in his first-ever role on stage.

“When I direct a production I have at least one new person,” says McMann. “New people bring a new energy and spark. It also helps bond the rest of the cast because they remember when they started out and they start helping each other.

“Also, I think the audience enjoys seeing new people on stage and it gives me a challenge too. First, the challenge is finding that new person, then, working with them and devel-oping them.”

For a first-time effort, Lamoureux is a stand out. How did it feel on opening night?

“I was excited, I was nervous and I got cold flashes, but once I heard the laughs, I knew we were doing a good job,” he said. “I was so scared the audience wouldn’t laugh, but they did. It was great.”

“I’ll do this again,” he added with a wide grin. “I wish I would have done this 40 years ago. All I can do now is play old guys but I hope there’s more to come.”

The entire cast, including Kathy Lacasse as Rose and Hol-ly Carroll as Julia, contributes to some solid entertainment.

At a pre-show dress rehearsal last week, before backstage volunteers and their families, McMann notes the reaction of one person in the audience.

“If they’re not rolling in the aisles, they’re dead,” she said with a laugh.

Evening performances for You’re Only Young Twice begin at 8 p.m. on May 2, 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 with a matinee at 2 p.m. on May 5. Tickets are $15 each. Call 613-475-2144 to reserve yours.

EMC News - Stirling - Stirling’s Antique Automobile Flea Market will mark its 42nd year this weekend at the fair-grounds thanks to the Stirling Agricultural Society.

When organizers for the Antique Automobile Club of America decided last spring to move the annual show to Lindsay in 2013, the agricultural society decided they had to step in.

After two years in Spring Brook, the annual event was moved to Stirling and Economic Development Committee Chair Jeremy Solmes is one of many intent on maintaining the status quo.

Flea Market returns to fairgrounds“It will be staying in Stirling,” he

says of the show, adding “the [Antique Automobile] Club has moved on but the flea market is staying.”

The event regularly draws about 8,000 car collectors and enthusiasts and with more than 500 spaces allotted for vendors in Stirling, expectations are high for another successful show.

Agricultural Society President Jason Detlor says volunteers have been busy in recent weeks preparing for the week-end adding the event is expected to con-tinue long into the future. Despite some confusion over the show, he says, “it’s still going. And we want to remind ev-eryone that it is still an annual event.

Everything from vintage wares to crafts and of course automotive parts will be up for sale this weekend (May 4 and 5) with the gates opening at 7 a.m. Admission is $5 per person and children under 12 are free.

Overwhelmed by the vendor response for this year, The Stirling Agricultural Society looks forward to bringing this huge event to the community in upcom-ing years and wishes the AACA all the best in their future endeavours.

“It will be staying in Stirling.”

Belleville EMC - Thursday, May 2, 2013 17

By Steve JesselEMC News – Belleville - More than 80,000 residents and businesses in eastern Ontario will benefit from improved access to high-speed Inter-net thanks to the Eastern Ontario Re-gional Network (EORN), which held a special kickoff event as part of the launch of the Quinte Loyalist Zone on Friday, April 26.

“This is a project that literally is going to change the dynamics of our entire region,” MP Daryl Kramp said.

Twenty-six new towers and 36 ex-isting structures are now being used to provide high-speed Internet access to a 7,000-square-kilometre region encompassing all of Prince Edward County, most of the southern half of

Hastings and Lennox and Addington Counties, a westerly portion of Fron-tenac County and a small portion of Northumberland County. The wireless network was built by Xplornet Com-munications, and is part of the larger EORN, a project being spearheaded by the Eastern Ontario Wardens Cau-cus (EOWC). The Quinte Loyalist Zone is the largest local access zone to be built as part of the EORN, cov-ering 14 per cent of the total EORN service. Construction on the zone be-gan in 2011.

“No matter where you live high speed Internet is no longer a luxury; it’s an absolute necessity,” Kramp said.

Funding for the project comes from

a variety of sources. The governments of Canada and Ontario have each pledged up to one-third of the total costs, to a maximum contribution of $55 million each, while the EOWC is contributing $10 million. The remain-ing costs of the project are being cov-ered by private sector contributors.

“Improving broadband access is one of the keys to unlocking the enor-mous economic potential of our re-gion,” said Rick Phillips, chair of the EOWC. “Today’s launch is a signifi-cant stepping stone toward our goal of providing higher speeds and band-width to at least 95 per cent of homes in eastern Ontario.”

As a whole, the EORN covers a region of over 50,000 square kilo-

Connecting the region one tower at a timemetres, servicing better than 1 mil-lion people. This includes a scalable network of 5,500 kilometres of new and existing fibre connected by new generation switches in 160 points of presence across eastern Ontario. For those regions unable to be connected via fibre, an effort is also being made to improve the affordability and quali-ty of satellites made available through Xplornet Communications.

“We are very pleased to have com-

pleted such an important broadband project for the residents and business-es of this region, and to have com-pleted on time, and under budget,” said Sue Good, vice president Dealer Sales Xplornet Communication Inc. “Our mission is to make the transfor-mational power of real, high-speed Internet available to every Canadian regardless of where they live. We are excited to have been part of achieving that goal right here.”

Veteran politician running to get riding back on trackEMC News - Northumberland-Quinte West - Lou Rinaldi, Northumberland-Quinte West’s long-time for-mer MPP, has been acclaimed as the official candidate for the Ontario Liberal Party and will dedicate his candidacy to getting Northumberland-Quinte West back on track.

“For nearly two years our communities have floun-dered as part of a have-not riding, so it’s time to turn the page and get Northumberland-Quinte West back on track,” Rinaldi said. “As your Ontario Liberal candidate I’ll fight for strong investment from the Eastern Ontario Development Fund; a balanced approach to healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social programs; and a fair society that’s fiscally responsible.”

Lou Rinaldi was the Ontario Liberal MPP for Nor-thumberland-Quinte West from 2003-2011. After moving to Canada with his family in 1960, he received an auto-motive technology diploma from George Brown College and started a small business in the automotive field in 1972. He moved to Brighton in 1980 having purchased Brighton Speedway, and later served as a Brighton coun-cillor, reeve, and mayor.

“In my experience, government investment tools like the Eastern Ontario Development Fund are one of the best ways to make our local communities prosper,” Rinaldi said. “They’re why, as your MPP, I was able to open a $30-million community centre in Cobourg, pioneer a family health team in Brighton, build a YMCA and new marina in Quinte West and bring a Community Health Centre to Port Hope to reverse the PC party’s closure of their hospital.”

Rinaldi looks forward to representing Premier Kath-leen Wynne’s commitment to rural Ontario.

“Kathleen Wynne and the Ontario Liberals understand how important it is to find common ground and solve our challenges here in eastern Ontario,” said Rinaldi. “It’s the right vision for Northumberland-Quinte West to get back on track. So it’s time to turn the page, it’s time to have a hard-working, dedicated MPP who knows how government works, and it’s time we returned to attracting the investments that grow our prosperity.”

“In my experience, government investment tools like the Eastern

Ontario Development Fund are one of the best ways to make our local

communities prosper.”

Bulls eliminated in seven games

Tyler Graovac’s third-period breakaway was as close as the Bulls would come to evening the score.

Bulls forward Joseph Cramaros-sa makes his way between two defenders during the second pe-riod of the Bulls 3 - 1 loss to the Barrie Colts.

By Steve JesselEMC Sports – Belleville - The Belleville Bulls season has come to a disappointing end; with a 3 - 1 loss on home ice on Monday, April 29, the Bulls were eliminated in seven games to the now-OHL Eastern Conference champion Barrie Colts.

After digging themselves out of a 3 - 1 series deficit with back-to-back 3 - 1 wins, the series shifted back to Belleville for one final game, and buoyed by a raucous crowd of 3,728 who were practically spilling out of Yardmen Arena, the Bulls got off to a fast start. It took Barrie until 8:23 of the first period to record their first shot on net, while Belleville piled on 12 in that time, none more important than when Alan Quine tipped Jake Wor-rad’s shot from the point past Barrie goaltender Mathias Nieder-berger for his eighth goal of the play-offs, a powerplay marker at 11:48. With the home crowd whipped into a frenzy, momentum was squarely in the Bulls favour, however, as the period drew to a close the Colts began to find the form that won them 44 games in the regular season and propelled them to the number two seed in the conference entering the play-offs. Off a Belleville turnover entering the offensive zone, the Colts were quick to turn the puck back up ice, and with an odd-man rush and some slick passing, Aaron Ekblad netted home the tying goal past Malcolm Subban in net, and the two teams headed into the first intermission all tied up.

While Belleville again opened the sec-ond period with some strong offensive opportunities, Barrie was much quicker to respond than in the first. Some back-and-forth play and some big hits eventually left Barrie on the powerplay, where Tyson Fawcett tipped home a Ryan O’Connor shot to give Barrie their first lead of the game with just over eight minutes remain-ing in the frame. Belleville found them-selves in further penalty trouble as the period drew to a close, and the home fans could be heard getting noticeably restless as Belleville entered the third period trail-ing 2 - 1.

With just 20 minutes separating the Bulls from the end of their season, the pace was fast and furious in the third period. Bulls forward Tyler Graovac had perhaps the best chance on goal in the early going; after a Barrie turnover at the Bulls blueline he was sprung for a breakaway streaking down the ice.

Niederberger was up to the task, how-ever, making one of his 36 saves on the night on Graovac’s backhand, and the Bulls still trailed 2 - 1. The Bulls were getting desperate, throwing big hits and skating hard, but Barrie played stalwart defense, backed by the strong play of Nie-derberger and the Bulls just couldn’t force a goal home.

Then, with time winding down on their season, Barrie put the exclamation point on the game late in the period. O’Connor let another shot rip from the point, and was rewarded with his first goal of the play-offs at perhaps the most crucial time, with only 5:50 left in the game. That was more than enough for Niederberger, who stoned the Bulls’ shooters the rest of the way to earning first star of the game honours in the 3 - 1 Barrie win.

Barrie now advances to the OHL finals to face the London Knights beginning Fri-day, May 3.

Daniil Zharzov looks to have a wide open net to shoot at during the second period of the Bulls 3 - 1 loss to the Barrie Colts, but Zharkov was unable to corral the puck in time.

First place at Tora Judo ChampionshipEMC Sports - Michelle Currie just keeps moving forward in her winning ways. Competing at the annual Tora Judo Championships held in Brampton over the weekend, Michelle defeated all three of her opponents, including two of them before the clock stopped.

Michelle threw her first opponent flat on her back to end the match early, fol-lowed by another short match where she threw and pinned her opponent.

The last match went the full round, and she won with a near perfect score to earn first place in her weight category.

Paul Bunge was in a division of 12 competitors which included two ranks higher. He gained some experience for the day in his two losses. Bunge has been in Judo for not quite a year, yet competes against the top fighters in the province.

Students live the blues

Diana Braithwaite leads students around the THSS gym during her and Chris Whiteley’s performance of Sugar and Gold - The Story of the Underground Railroad. Photo: Scott Pettigrew

By Scott PettigrewEMC News - Tweed - “Hot blues” musicians Chris White-ley and Diana Braithwaite had Tweed Hungerford Senior School students mesmerized as they told the story of the Underground Railroad through song and storytelling. Their show is called Sugar and Gold - The Story of the Under-ground Railroad and even when Diana was talking, Chris was always playing something in the background.

They started at the beginning of the slave trade and de-scribed for students the reasons for countries invading Africa for free labourers to work in mining silver and gold and to work on the sugar cane and cotton plantations.

Through these stories they showed how blues music evolved and the direct relationship between the songs and the history. They explained how the slaves escaped to Canada and how many traditional songs contained codes that would tell conductors (people who assisted the slaves along the many paths and rivers) how many people were coming and when they would arrive. They encouraged students to sing along and had no problem getting participation as songs like Children, Go Where I Send Thee were sung loud and clear by students and teachers.

They spent time explaining that the Underground Rail-road was not a railroad at all but a series of paths used by

the slaves. They also told students there were large bounties of as much as $2,000 placed on the heads for many who escaped, and they were often hunt-ed by bounty hunters who tracked them with dogs.

Chris and Diana have written a num-ber of original songs about the impor-tant historical figures that helped the slaves escape, including Alexander Ross from Belleville. They also told students about southern Ontario being one of the places that many of the freed people settled including Diana’s great, great, great-grandfather who found his free-dom and settled in the Wellington area of Ontario.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to bring this show about the Underground Railroad to schools all across Canada and over seven years, we have reached over 70,000 students. We recently did a show in Virginia and it was interest-ing because that is where Diana’s great, great-grandfather had been; the people there were curious about the Canadian viewpoint.

In developing the Underground show, Diana’s history has played an integral part in preparing the performance. Her mother has worked hard over the years at preserving black history in Canada.”

“The Underground Railroad was set up like a railroad with conductors that helped escapees, safe houses which were called stations, and routes that they would take like tracks. This mu-sic is dear to me and close to my heart because of the family connection. We really want the children to learn about respecting others’ rights and freedoms,”

said Diana. Chris and Diana have been musicians all their lives and

have been doing blues shows all over the world for the last ten years. They have won eight Maple Blues awards and have had a couple of Juno nominations.

Ed Fowler is the director of the Blues in the School (BITS) program and is a member of the Royal Blues Fellowship in Belleville and was present for the performance at THSS. He said the BITS program started in 1978 in Chicago, home of the electric blues, and added, “Bringing blues to the schools is about educating kids in the blues. Music is such an impor-tant part of education because it involves math, social studies, history and science; it encompasses a lot of things and it gets them inspired. To get a chance to interact with professionals such as Diana and Chris is a great opportunity and kids love it!”

Dusting off treasures at Farmtown Park

Doris Wells was one of many volunteers in Stirling readying museum dis-plays for the official opening of Farmtown Park on May 18.

Kathy Reid tends to the bar during last week’s cleanup day at Farmtown Park. Officials at the agricul-tural museum in Stirling are anticipating another busy season.

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - In preparation for its official opening day on May 18, volunteers and staff at Farmtown Park were out in force last Friday with cleaning supplies, dusters, brooms and rakes in hand and up to their usual spring cleaning.

While some dusted exhibits, others cleaned glass, swept floors and revived the many buildings that have been dormant through much of the winter. Outside, volunteers prepared the grounds and added an interlocking brick walkway between some of the newer displays including the children’s centre

and the schoolhouse.Museum board president Ron Reid says the season starts

before opening day with plenty of work to do in the planning and scheduling of numerous special events, both public and private, as well as a sprucing up of the facility’s countless dis-plays. And the annual cleanup, he adds, brings out dozens of supporters who make a valuable contribution to the ongoing success and growth at Farmtown Park.

And the helpers who arrived last Friday made short work of a major task before museum officials greeted their first bus tour of the season on Sunday.

After the official opening, Farmtown Park will be hosting its annual strawberry social, Strawberry Mania!, in June, Fi-bre Fest in July, Grandparents Day in September and several other special events in between.

As well, Reid says, the museum’s Heritage Village has be-come a popular venue in recent years and has been booked for several private functions, including anniversaries and weddings, and popular annual events including the Hastings County Beer Festival.

“We’re looking forward to it,” he says of the coming sea-son, noting attendance figures rose dramatically last year and are expected to continue to rise.

The museum has also committed to conducting a complete inventory of display items, says Museum Manager Margaret Grotek, as well as ensuring proper care and treatment of ac-quisitions that continue to arrive.

Earlier this week, staff and volunteers were offered a les-

son in the handling and storage of an-tiques and heirlooms in an effort to properly preserve the past.

The museum is open throughout the summer with full details available on the Internet at <farmtownpark.ca>.

B4 EMC Section B - Thursday, May 2, 2013

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Trent River - Norwood District High School’s popular after-school equine pro-gram saddled up for the last time this semester with more fun and instruction at Phoenix Stables south of Trent River.

The program is rapidly approaching its tenth an-niversary and continues to provide core instruction to both experienced and beginner riders leaving students with lessons they can apply in the larger

Equine program a con� dence-builder

arena of daily living.“Their confi dence has escalated throughout the

program and they are really fi nding a passion for horses,” instructor Andrea Veldhuyzen told the Trent Hills Regional News as the six riders tacked and groomed their horses before heading into the ring.

Four of the students were complete novices, never having ridden a horse before while two oth-ers, one a diehard barrel racer, had experience in

the ring benefi ting enormously from the lessons provided by Veldhuyzen, the recipient of Equine Canada’s National Coaching Excellence Award.

“It’s always nice to get different stu-dents and different personalities every session,” Veldhuyzen says. “You always see them grow. When they accomplish something with the horse it’s a really good feeling [for me] as well as for them.”

Focussing on “overall confi dence” is as important as skills training in the ring and the grooming and tacking they must do before they ride, she says.

“Believing in themselves, that they can do something like riding and use that in their everyday lives.”

She agrees that the horse arena can be a metaphor for the “larger arena of life.

The students learn “determination and strength” and for many without the NDHS equine program they would never have had an opportunity to ride, Veldhuyzen says.

“I think it’s a good opportunity for people who haven’t ridden yet; it’s a great experience,” Grade 9 student Jer-rica Cunningham said.

Jerrica has been around horses all her life and is using the NDHS program to sharpen her barrel racing skills.

“I’m working on the barrels and hopefully get to the Calgary Stampede,” she says. “I’ve improved my balance.”

“I love this program. I’m passionate about the kids becoming barn rats,” says Lori Inglis, a community volunteer who has been with the program from its earli-est days.

“It allows kids to grow,” Inglis said.

“It provides them with a lot of responsibility, it builds leader-ship, and it builds a sense of ownership around making sure the horse is safe and well-groomed.”

Inglis enjoys watching beginner riders shed their initial nervousness and blossom in the ring as they learn to trust the horse and discover horses are smart animals that return a sense of trust.

“They become comfortable and know the horse is not go-ing to do anything silly,” she says.

“And Dre is just a marvelous coach and makes sure they don’t do anything they don’t want to do. They’ll stretch

themselves.”The high school “has been very good,

especially in helping children benefi t from the program who might not be able to afford [riding lessons].”

The cost is a “more than reasonable” $100 for six weeks with NDHS provid-ing transportation to the stable and fi -nancial aid to students who can’t afford the full fee.

“I think it’s a good opportunity for people

who haven’t ridden yet; it’s a great experience.”

TRAVEL

By John M. SmithEMC Lifestyles - “Death’s Door” is a narrow, dangerous passageway between the waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. This strait, located between the Door Peninsula and Washington Island, has unpredictable winds and tu-multuous currents that can cause havoc and treacherous shoals that extend far out from the shoreline. A French document from 1728 refers to this passage as “Cap a la Mort,” and this French connection is reflected in modern charts that identify it as “Porte des Morts.”

“Death’s Door” was feared by both local natives and early French explorers, and it’s now the watery grave of several shipwrecks. You can learn more about the his-tory of this fascinating area by visiting the Door County Maritime Museum, <http://www.dcmm.org/>, at Sturgeon Bay, for it showcases its maritime roots, and at the Gills Rock Museum, located at the very tip of the Door County peninsula, on the shores of Death’s Door itself. This lat-ter museum even features a shipwreck and scuba diving exhibit and several artefacts brought up from the bottom of Porte des Morts.

On my recent visit to Wisconsin’s Door County, I took the half-hour car ferry excursion from the mainland, at Northport Pier, across Death’s Door, to Washington Island. This island has been dubbed “the Crown Jewel of Door County,” and it’s located just above the “tension line,” the line marking the half way point between the Equator and the North Pole. It’s home to the second oldest Icelandic settlement in the U.S., and it’s definitely worth a visit.

To get to this tourist-friendly destination, I had to pass the uninhabited Plum Island, with its unmanned Plum Is-land Lighthouse, and I learned that there are more than 200 shipwrecks just off its treacherous shoreline, and about 30 of these occurred in a single year—1880.

After arriving on the rather isolated Washington Island (although the ferry runs year-round, aided by an icebreaker during the winter months), I boarded the Cherry Train (ac-tually a tram) for an island tour <www.cherrytraintours.com/>. There are only about 700 residents who live here year round on this 36-square-mile island, and I found two gas stations, one bank, and an old saloon called Nelsen’s Hall. I learned the island had a volunteer fire department, a clinic, two nurse practitioners (the closest hospital is about 80 kilometres away), and two police officers. It also has the smallest K-12 school in the state with fewer than 70 students in the entire system. I also found a grocery store with a sign advertising “FRESH LAWYERS”; this wasn’t referring to new members of the law profession, or even to naughty ones; it was actually in reference to a kind of fish, a freshwater cod found in the Great Lakes, and for sale here.

I passed a few grass-roofed Scandinavian-style homes, and I visited a Scandinavian-style church, “Stavkirke” (“Church of Staves”), which looked somewhat like a Vi-king ship. Built by local craftsmen, it certainly reflects the island’s immigrant influence, and it’s modelled after a church built in Norway in 1150; it’s a very popular spot for island weddings.

I also passed the island airport with its two grass run-ways, the Art & Nature Centre, and the Jackson Harbor Maritime Museum located in two former fishing sheds.

Crossing Wisconsin’s treacherous “Death’s Door”

Pottawatomie Lighthouse, on Rock Island, was built in 1836 and rebuilt in 1858.

Washington Island’s Stavkirke (Church of Staves).

A Scandinavian-style house on Washington Island, home to the second largest Icelandic settlement in the U.S.

This Coffee Pot greeted me as I arrived on Washington Island, Wisconsin.

Furthermore, I visited an ostrich farm, a popular limestone beach named School House Beach, and the Farm Museum depicting life on the island in the 1880s.

As I explored Washington Island via the Cherry Train Tour, my guide/driver repeated a couple of the silliest ques-tions that she had received: “Which beach is closest to the water?” and “Is there water all around this island?”

After completing my tour of Wash-ington Island and a scrumptious picnic lunch from the island’s “Danish Mill,” I boarded another, smaller, passenger-only ferry (no cars or bicycles) for a 15-minute ride to Rock Island. If I thought Washington Island was small, this second island was miniscule in comparison—at less than a thousand acres—and with no permanent resi-dents. The entire island is a state park, and there’s a ranger’s house, but he doesn’t stay there that often. There’s also an intriguing lighthouse to visit called Pottawatomie Lighthouse, Wis-consin’s oldest (dating from 1836 –and rebuilt in 1858), but it means a hike of about two kilometres, one way, to get there; there’s no running water or electricity, but there’s a water pump, an outhouse, and volunteer “Friends of Rock Island State Park” who take turns staying here during the summer and providing tours.

I, of course, did the hike to the light-house while on Rock Island, and I also visited the stone Viking boathouse by the dock built by inventor Chester H. Thordarson. I also discovered that overnight camping and docking are permitted on the island and there’s a sandy beach and several interesting hiking trails.

The last ferry of the day from Rock Island was at 4 p.m., and I boarded it and returned to Washington Island.

I then took a second ferry back to the mainland, once again crossing “Death’s Door” (which gives both Door County and the Door Peninsula its names). The only boats that now use this passageway are pleasure craft and ferries, for a shorter, safer route for freighters between Green Bay and Lake Michigan is available via the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal, which was completed in the late 19th century.

ver birch, the iconic maple and even the stalwart oak. We seldom talk about ash unless we wax nostalgic about baseball bats and Sherwood hockey sticks. So here’s a number to try to comprehend, a forestry source says there are approxi-mately seven billion ash trees in North America and every single one of them is threatened.

Go online and type EAB, Ontario in your browser and check out the govern-ment sites. You can also visit any nurs-ery in the area; they will have pertinent information.

So how come we’re just hearing about it now? For some reason, EAB has not been in any rush to visit our fair part of the province. It has hitchhiked, likely in firewood, from Toronto to Ot-tawa and on into Quebec. I fully expect to see confirmation reports of this pest in Quinte this summer: I believe it is here but not yet officially identified.

How do you know if your tree is in-fested? Unfortunately, many folk have lost their natural sensibilities, e.g. their subconscious connection with this good earth, and don’t really think of their trees as much more than a deco-ration. They will notice EAB when the tree no longer has leaves. GR, monitor your trees with the same zeal you use for dandelion patrol. Ash is a tough tree with few problems so declining health is your first clue. D-shaped wet spots and small holes in the bark is another. Oh yes, woodpecker sightings should increase. If you are concerned but un-sure of your detection abilities, contact an arborist. (Ask how much an inspec-tion costs.)

What can you do? I asked two of our area’s leading arborists from Richardson’s Tree Service and The County Arborist. Both are in agreement that keeping your tree healthy is the first step in surviving an EAB movement through the area. So

The Good Earth:EMC Lifestyles - The emerald ash borer (Agrilus plani-pennis) is a dime-sized bug. It is emerald green in colour. It bores into ash trees and it kills them. It is everywhere. The wonderful English folk tune, The Ash Grove, will no longer be sung around campfires … fueled by dead ash trees, of course.

Guess what Gentle Reader? I heard that exact in-depth analysis on the news the other night, except for the musi-cal reference; I added that myself. Professionals in the green trade have been learning about and studying this wee chap-pie for over ten years now. EAB is a very serious pest that has and will continue to have a tremendous impact upon our forests, landscapes and pocketbook.

Detroit, 2002, was when the EAB was really noticed. By then it had already infested many ash trees in Michigan … millions of them. In 2007, it was discovered in Toronto. Cur-rent estimates say in a few years all of Toronto’s 860,000 ash trees will be history. Folks, we talk about the land of the sil-

The emerald ash borer

By Kate EversonEMC News - Belleville - Quinte Con-servation got a helping hand in planting trees last week. In fact, they got many helping hands.

“We have Scouts from Second Sidney, Belleville, Trenton and Wooler,” said Scout co-ordinator Nick Fry.

Fry said they have had the program for several years where Scouts plant trees.

“They have planted millions across Canada,” he said. “It’s part of our envi-ronmental program.”

He said they work with Quinte Con-servation on those lands so they know the trees will not be harvested. Trees are planted as buffers and as part of refores-tation.

“We are planting 500 trees today,” said Quinte Conservation ecologist Tim Trustham. “We do this every spring.”

The volunteers planted an assortment of white pine, white spruce and poplar on a field off Frankford Road west of Fox-

boro.“This is Quinte Conservation prop-

erty,” Trustham said. “It was a donation 15 years ago.”

He said this planting will work as a wind break and to buffer nutrients from going into the nearby creek.

“We have been working on this prop-erty for the past three or four years,” he added. “It’s open and good soil.”

He said some trees tolerate moisture and others don’t. They have to know where to plant each type of tree.

The previous weekend the Scouts plant-ed trees in Norwood. Nick Fry said there was a wind storm and they camped out.

“They loved it,” he said smiling. “They dress warm and they are prepared.”

practice good nutrition, proper pruning, a nice mulched area under the tree canopy for younger trees, and supplemental wa-tering whenever in doubt. The next step is an injection of a pesticide that will kill the bug. There are several manufactured formulations, e.g. Acecap- acephate, Confidor- imidacloprid, and Tree-azin- azadirachtin the preferred biological, you will know it better as Neem. No doubt, there will be many more being presented to the Pesticide Management Regulation Agency for emergency use registration. It really doesn’t matter the name, GR; what matters is what you want to do to save your tree.

I’ll use a few figures from Mark Cul-len concerning the cost of not spending a grand or so to save your tree. Con-sider a possibility of several thousands of dollars to remove it, another $500 or so to plant a replacement with the atten-dant wait of 30 or 40 years to regain the canopy and all of the increased costs as-sociated with heating and cooling your house now that the protection is gone.

Final comment: Ash trees are of the genus Fraxinus. Mountain ash is not; they are members of the Sorbus genus. EAB does not affect them.

By Bill FreemanHavelock - With tours of the Havelock Country Jamboree grounds, animals, musicians, a chil-dren’s treasure hunt based on the famous Have-lock TD Bank robbery of 1961, Celebrate Have-lock will be bigger, better and more entertaining than ever.

Quickly becoming a signature event to open summertime fun in the area, the sixth an-nual Expo-like trade fair and showcase at the Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Community Cen-tre May 11 promises to deliver everything and more visitors have come to expect when they browse the displays and exhibits of more than 50 vendors.

The prize list had already topped the $5,000 mark three weeks before the event and organiz-ers were expecting several more donations be-fore the gates open.

“There is excitement about the fact that it’s going to be bigger and better,” says committee chair Elmer Buchanan. “We’re spending more money on advertising so we’re expecting a big-ger crowd this year. Our prizes are over $5,000 so that’s a major draw for us.”

Last year, Celebrate Havelock drew over 1,000 people. In 2012 they advertised outside of the immediate postal code for the fi rst time and were rewarded with lots of visitors from the Peterborough area.

“Now that we’re advertising further outside [the immediate area] I’m expecting we’re going to see a number of people from outside the com-munity come and see what Havelock-Belmont-Methuen has to offer,” Buchanan said.

“We expect [attendance] to signifi cantly in-crease with extra advertising.”

“It is a festival of the community,” the retired teacher and former provincial minister of agri-culture and rural affairs said. “We’re promoting Havelock and celebrating what we have here.”

“I’m quite passionate about how we build community and this is [how we do it],” he said.

The event receives major corporate support from sponsors like Unimin, Havelock Tim-Br Mart, Country 105 FM, Trent Hills Regional News, Havelock and District Lions Club, Have-lock Country Jamboree, Sandwood Transport, Havelock Metals, Community Futures, Federal Economic Development Agency, Deal Taxi and Havelock Pharmacy as well as vendors who do-nate gifts.

Top-end prizes include a STIHL chainsaw with brush-cutter and protective gear donated by Unimin, a Country 105 prize package that includes two tickets to the Peterborough Charlie Pride concert, two day passes to the Havelock Jamboree donated by the Jamboree, a barbeque and fi re pit from Havelock Tim-Br Mart, four tickets to the Mosport NASCAR Labour Day

Bigger and better, Celebrate Havelock is a “festival of community”

weekend donated by Sandwood Transport, a Copperhill solar system, four chairs and an out-door fi re pit donated by Brett Funeral Chapel and a spa day at Perfection Plus.

Visitors will each get one of the 750 compli-mentary tote bags.

“If prizes are going to draw you there are

some signifi cant prizes,” committee member Brian Grattan says.

Tim Hortons Havelock has also donated 200 lanyards for vendors, committee members and volunteers.

The vendors’ list is broad and eclectic and

includes businesses, organizations, agencies and emergency services. There will demonstrations by K-9 Komfort Inn, firefighters and local jiu jitsu students; animals from Elmlea Farms, entertain-ment upstairs by the Havelock Jammers, the Nor-wood District High School guitar club and blues musician and multiple Juno nominee Al Lerman; bouncy castles and a gardening workshop.

There will be food available upstairs and downstairs.

“Celebrate Havelock gives opportunities for not-for-profits and businesses to showcase what they do,” says Buchanan

People get to “see what’s in their community. We’re always looking to get people out who have businesses [here] but don’t have exposure on the main street so it’s an attempt to bring together people and expose that business to folks.”

“People also think the prizes are fantastic and are impressed that they are so numerous.”

Celebrate Havelock falls on Mother’s Day weekend and Buchanan says they’ve had some fun incorporating the occasion into the event with women receiving complimentary fudge. There will be draws each hour for bouquets of mixed flowers donated by Blooms and Blos-soms.

“We’re doing more of a theme this year and having flowers and fudge. We’re trying to incor-porate Mother’s Day into the day and do it with a lot of prizes. It’s fun and entertaining too.”

They’re also utilizing the parkland adjacent to the arena more dramatically than they did last year and will also run a bus tours from the com-munity centre to the Jamboree grounds.

Parking will be at the elementary school next door with a shuttle bus there to transport people who don’t want to walk.

Celebrate Havelock will also collect dona-tions for the food bank and give each donor a free raffle draw ticket.
