New hotel planned for Bell Boulevard

By Steve Jessel sjessel@theemc.ca

EMC Business - Belleville Williams Hotels are continuing to put their stamp on the Quinte region, announcing the construction of a brand new hotel on Bell Boulevard in Belleville at a press conference on Monday, February 11. It will be located near the pet hospital.

“This is the start of what we hope is a great development,” Williams Hotels vicepresident Ryan Williams said. “We do see great things with Bell Boulevard; we see great things with the Quinte region.” The new Marriott Towneplace Inn and Suites is

expected to be a four-storey, 100-room property that will employ roughly 30 people, and construction is slated to start in the early spring. Wil-

liams Hotels has been looking at the project for about a year and a half, and said the location on Bell Boulevard was key, with the potential future

expansion of a casino and further commercial development and the proximity to existing amenities and the 401 playing in its favour.

“We really believe in this Bell Boulevard development,” Williams said.

gave an update presentation at the board’s meeting Thursday and hinted that preliminary cost estimates might need some serious paring.

They produced basic sketch proposals for an addition of 12,500 square feet added to the rear of the present one-floor building of 22,700 square feet. Then it was sug-

gested the addition could add a second or even a third floor to increase space for future and perhaps generate space rental revenue.

They also said the addition and complete interior renovation of the existing building would require the entire staff to find temporary premises elsewhere until the work is

done. Those costs must also be worked out.

Councillor Jack Miller, one of Belleville’s representatives, had serious concerns about adding extra floors to speculate on rental revenue unless they could be done “within budget.”

The extra levels inspired

Haiti gets help from local business owners

By Kate Everson

EMC Lifestyles - Quinte West - Teresa and Mike Bell of JB Print are going to Haiti to help at a medical centre for the many people who are still in desperate need.

“I have always wanted to do a mission,” Teresa says.

“It was on my Bucket List.”

The opportunity to go came up with Haiti Arise, a 15-member team that included Mike’s aunt and uncle from Saskatchewan.

They are leaving March 3 and returning March 14.

“I am a little nervous but it’s well organized,” Teresa said. “I trust the group knows what it’s doing. We will be safe.”

She will be helping orga-

nize a clinic that has already been set up. Mike will also be doing building maintenance in local schools, a children’s village (for rescuing slave children) and building homes.

“In eight days we will see 800 patients,” Teresa said.

“There is a lot of foot care.”

Each member is bringing an extra suitcase packed full of items for the clinic.

She has been asked to pack multi-vitamins and Tums (or any brand of antacid) for the patients. Multi-vitamins should be hard, not the gummy kind because they might melt. She has a basket for donations at JB Print.

Tax receipts can be sent if the cheque is made out to

Rock of the Valley Community Church, with Saskatchewan Medical Team noted at the bottom.

“We will each have a small suitcase of personal items,” she says. “I will need a hat and remember to stay hydrated. We also need to be aware of their culture.

Women wear cotton skirts.

In the clinic we will wear scrubs.” She does not expect there will be many Haitians who speak English, but hopes there will be a translator to help communicate with the locals.

For more information go to <www.haitiarise.org/ medical-clinic> or contact <teresa@jbprint.com> or call 613-394-3245.

Collecting for a cause

By Steve Jessel sjessel@theemc.ca

EMC News - Belleville They rattle around in our pockets, get lost in the cracks of our car seats and can be seen at the bottom of wells across the country, but it’s not very often we see all that much use for our pennies. However, for seven-year old Paige Leadbeater, pennies present an opportunity to make a difference in another person’s life.

“There are people out there who don’t have enough water, and they don’t have clean water,” Paige said.

While the Canadian penny may have reached the end of its life cycle this month, there are an estimated 35 billion of them still in circulation. For the next several months Paige is hoping to collect enough of them to provide clean drinking water for four people for life— $100, or 10,000 pennies. She’s not alone either, as youth

across the country are collecting pennies as part of the Free The Children campaign We Create Change.

Paige first heard of the campaign while watching television with her mother Meredith.

“I’m honestly trying to teach them that they can make a difference.”

“I was talking to her about it, about how the people don’t have clean water and I just told her that would be something she could do to make a difference,” Meredith said.

Just like that, the seed was planted, and since mid-January, Paige has been collecting pennies. In all, there are about a billion people worldwide who do not have access to clean drinking water, but for $25,

or 2,500 pennies one person can receive clean drinking water for life. Collecting 10,000 is a tall order for a seven-year-old, but for Meredith it’s exactly the kind of attitude she likes to see from her kids.

“I’m honestly trying to teach them that they can make a difference,” Meredith said.

Roughly a month later it’s hard to tell how much she’s collected from friends, relatives and customers at her mother’s studio, but with a deadline of the end of June she has plenty of time. Her five-year-old brother Cameron is also helping out, but Meredith joked that he doesn’t have quite the social network her daughter might.

“She’s doing really well,” Meredith said.

Dr. Richard Schabas, Medical Officer of Health, to suggest a complete new look at the project since the staff has to be moved anyhow, and use a single three-storey building and tear down the present one, allowing adequate parking areas.

The board and architects will continue to study the project in the weeks ahead with perhaps a further report in March.

Project chair for the board James McBride was not present at Thursday’s meeting.

He had been a key mover in getting the project, which has been years in planning, under way.

In other business, the board was impressed with efforts by its tobacco enforcement program in recent months, with a list of 31 charges and convictions, including workplace violations and illegal sales. Two were for Belleville General Hospital employees smoking in prohibited areas.

The hotel will also offer enhanced gym equipment, a pool, hot tub and grocery service. The hotel will be just the third Marriott Towneplace Inn and Suites in Canada.

“The industry has evolved, and so have the brands,” vice-president Brad Williams explained. “We do believe in this market, because again our guests that stay at [the Comfort Inn Express] and the Fairfield want a product where they can

stay for longer.”

Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis welcomed the news, saying it reflected well on what the city of Belleville has to offer potential businesses.

“Communities and governments have to spend money on their cities to have investments, and when you have cities that are investing in their own infrastructure things like this happen,” Ellis said. “I think that you’ll see over the next three to four years our tax base will be broadened … when you have developments like this, a hotel of this nature probably will be around $200,000 to $300,000 in taxes collected.”

February is the time Canadians celebrate Black History Month. We invite you to discover more about the experiences of black Canadians and the vital role this community has played throughout our shared history. How many “famous” Black Canadians can you name? Did you know the first named black person to set foot on Canadian soil was Mathieu Da Costa, a free man who was hired as a translator for Samuel de Champlain’s 1605 excursion? We are all familiar with the Underground Railroad, but it is easy to forget that slavery also existed in these lands we now call Canada.

On Thursday, February 21, at 6:30 p.m., we invite you to meet Canadian author Horane Smith, whose novels bring to life Black Canadian history. “Marooned in Nova Scotia - A Story of the Jamaican Maroons in Canada” takes us back to Nova Scotia, 1796.

A level playing field for graduates

By Steve Jessel sjessel@theemc.ca

EMC News - Belleville A high school prom or a graduation ceremony can be an incredibly special time for young people. Unfortunately, not every student is financially able to participate in these kinds of events,

which is why the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation (HPELF) second annual Prom Project Campaign is aiming to provide equal opportunity for all students.

“We just want to make sure that it’s a level playing field and that everybody

The goal of the Prom Project is simple; to assist students facing socioeconomic challenges by providing them with formal wear.

nated to the campaign, 900 of which were given away to students in need.

“The response was absolutely overwhelming, both from the community, and then for the need,” deSnoo said.

The campaign has a number of great sponsors, but two deSnoo noted in particular include Bentley and Lafferty’s Men’s Wear Store in Quinte Mall. Bentley will be donating 1,000 purses to the event in a wide range of styles and colours, while Lafferty’s is giving the project 300 ties. Quinte Mall will also have die-cuts of the Prom Project logo available for purchase at the courtesy desk for $2, with funds supporting the purchasing of tickets for the events.

“If you’re coming and looking for formal wear, chances are you’re not able to afford the ticket price, so that allows us then to assist

to make sure they can attend the event,” deSnoo said.

DeSnoo isn’t setting any kind of goal for this year’s campaign, as she says they are thankful for each and every donation that comes in.

“It’s a milestone event; you want to be able to participate and feel good about yourself and celebrate your accomplishments,” deSnoo said.

Donations of gently used formal wear items can be dropped off in Belleville at Parson’s Cleaners, Woodland Cleaners, Northtown Cleaners and the Quinte Mall. In Trenton and Quinte West, items can be dropped off at Trenton Clothing and Repair, Trenton Cleaners and Tucker’s Corner Variety, and in Prince Edward County items can be left at Scott’s General Store in Picton, Pearson’s Foodland in Wellington, and Rossmore Stop.

The campaign runs from January to March, and once all the items have been collected, the designated secondary schools will hold Prom Project events where they invite Grade 8 to Grade 12 students from across the region who are in need of formal wear to come pick out an outfit.

Planning to close the funding gap at QHC our physicians and staff to refine the proposals,” said Dr. Dick Zoutman, Chief of Staff. “While we have heard from many people that would like hospitalbased services to remain as they are today, the entire health care system in Ontario is undergoing a transformational change, more profound than most of us have experienced in our long careers. These changes are necessary to maintain the quality of care we all expect the health care system to deliver over the long term.”

As part of the engagement process, QHC has held meetings starting in November 2012 with its physician groups, staff, union partners, municipal councils, auxiliaries, foundations, community

groups and the QHC Advisory Council. QHC has also received community feedback through phone calls, letters and emails.

“From the community members, we have heard overwhelming pride in their local hospital and concerns about any potential changes,” said Susan Rowe, Director of Communications. “One common misperception is that these proposals will mean more people will need to travel for their health care services. For almost all of the proposed solutions, current health care services will remain in the local communities, but may not be delivered in a hospital setting anymore. This is in line with the Ministry’s Action Plan for Health Care.”

Making a splash

QHC can continue to incorporate suggestions up until February 19 on how the current proposals should be changed, so that updated proposals can go to the February QHC Board Meeting.

Once the Board of Directors has endorsed the proposals, QHC will formally engage its union partners with the proposed plans through the staff planning process.

“From the community members, we have heard overwhelming pride in their local hospital and concerns about any potential changes.”

on April 1, when our further funding reductions come into effect,” said Rowe.

A few of the proposed changes could be implemented fairly quickly after April 1, such as starting to implement standardized care plans. Other proposed changes would have a much longer implementation schedule.

For example, QHC will need to ensure appropriate supports are available from other community care providers before reducing the number of inpatient beds at BGH, PECMH and TMH. QHC announced in fall 2012 that the anticipated financial gap between expected revenues and expenses could be as high as

$10 million for its fiscal year that starts April 1, and could climb by an additional $5 million in future years. This is driven primarily by a change to the hospital funding formula which will lead to substantial decreases in QHC’s funding for the foreseeable future. QHC’s Board expects the hospital to operate within a balanced budget and the Local Health Integration Network is required by law to ensure that all hospitals balance.

Residents can continue to go to the QHC web site at <www.qhc.on.ca> to learn more about the proposed changes and provide comments or questions. Alternatively, call 613-969-7400, ext. 2027.

“We have implemented an in-depth engagement process to gather input and other creative ideas.

Yvonne Weatherell and Christian Jaehn-Kreibaum, Financial Advisors with Raymond James Ltd., hosted this Session on the upcoming changes to probate in Ontario.

Christian, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), with more than 20 years of experience lead the event with an informative presentation on this topic. He offers financial planning and insurance solutions through Raymond James Financial Planning Ltd. Additional speakers were Reader’s Choice and experienced lawyer Richard Wright from Belleville, who presented on the legal issues surrounding these upcoming changes and Ms. Lea Koiv, a Senior Taxation Advisor with Standard Life Assurance Company in Toronto, who addressed taxation and Probate planning issues on the topic.

Let future Executors beware the changes to the Estate

Administration Tax Act bring sweeping new powers to audit and assess Probate applications.

These include powers to reassess up to four years after filing and new Provincial Offence provisions for false or misleading statements in regard to either the Application or the required detailed record keeping by the Executor that “enable the accurate determination of tax payable.”

Christian was very pleased about the number of guests that accepted his invitation.

“We had 51 guests attend the first session at the Ramada Hotel in Trenton in October, and most recently 90 guests attended the session on Nov 27th held at the First Pentecostal Church, Belleville.

The main goal of these sessions is to bring awareness and to provide practical ideas and guidelines on how to prepare your estate more effectively and efficiently.”

The feedback after seminars was so strong that the organizers have scheduled two more sessions. One in February and one in April.

The next Info Session will be on Tuesday, February 19th at 6:30pm at the First Pentecostal Church on Dundas Street West, Belleville (between Stream and the Hastings Manor). The fourth Info Session is planned for Tuesday, April 16th in Trenton.

Yvonne Weatherell and Christian Jaehn-Kreibaum run the office of Raymond James Ltd. in Trenton, serving the greater Quinte area, including Brighton, Trenton and Belleville as well as Stirling and the surrounding areas.

Letters to the editor

May I have permission to rant please

Dear Editor, I sympathize with Terry Bush regarding his Hydro bill. While my bill is not as big as his, it is usually larger than other tenants in the apartment complex where I live who have the same appliances as I do.

I’m sorry to ruin another day for you, Mr. Bush, but I wonder if you realize you

are paying the old GST on that debt reduction charge.

Some years ago I was actually able to speak to a person at Hydro One instead of a machine and asked why I had to pay GST when I hadn’t been supplied with any goods or service in with that debt reduction charge. I was told Hydro One didn’t understand that either so

they were having discussions with the federal government to have the GST removed. As far as I can tell, it is still there. I also asked if my grandchildren would be paying for this debt when they were seniors. I was told the charge was well on its way to being paid. This was long before the HST was brought in and there is no

Water is a regional issue, not global Dear Editor, After reading the article about the Blue Water Project presentation in one of our schools I was appalled that our children are being exposed to such unscientific fear mongering and social engineering.

Kim Mcleod and Robert Palmer (leadership facilitators) presented to our children such mis-information as “Canada is the third largest supplier of fresh water in the world.” Rubbish! Canada has (about) one third of the world’s fresh water and it is against Canadian law to export bulk water.

We supply nobody (except ourselves) any appreciable amount of water.

They further encouraged the kids not to use so much water showering and brushing their teeth or drinking water from plastic bottles.

How is reducing personal hygiene and encouraging dehydration going to help the water supply half way around the world?

The availability of water is a regional issue, not global. Canada has no water shortage (although some areas are dryer than others, as also applies to the whole world), and there is just as much water in the world today as there was yesterday.

We don’t “use it up,” we just move it around a little bit. It is disingenuous and unconscionable to teach that any

conservation efforts here will make a difference to the water supply somewhere in Africa or wherever.

The water cycle is completely ignored, and until that natural process is somehow halted there will be no fresh water shortage in Canada. Global warming (if there is any) will only increase the amount of evaporization and consequent rainfall.

This blatant brainwashing of our youth is unacceptable as is the facilitator’s encouragement of group think and globalism. Defund these charlatans and get them out of our schools.

A BIG THANK YOU to Smitty’s Appliances

“The little business man with the big heart”

sign of the debt being paid. I have heard unsubstantiated rumours that Hydro One is Ontario Hydro reborn and has many of the same incompetents running it and they are busy building a new debt. Why are these people not accountable to the taxpayers?

Unfortunately, today’s world is being run by greedy, incompetent overpaid people. Top bankers are paid obscene amounts of money without producing anything, while the tellers get paid minimum rate or just above it; the public are gouged and the shareholders don’t get the returns on their investment that they deserve. The same is true for oil executives. It’s hard to imagine any company absorbing the huge fine levied after the Gulf oil spill, yet that oil company didn’t ap-

pear to miss a beat. First Nations chiefs live in luxury, getting paid more than the prime minister, while their band members live in squalor. These people are nothing more than mayors of very small communities, so why aren’t they paid the same as mayors? Why are they not accountable? We see sports “stars” being paid mega bucks thanks to the efforts of parasitic agents, while the fan earning a minimum wage gets hit at the gate to the stadium and in the pocket because of the high cost of everyday products that are over priced because of the cost of advertising that creates the revenue that pays these so-called athletes.

Our health system is in disarray thanks to too many administrators and not enough doctors, nurses and technicians. I still can’t

believe Mr. McGuinty’s government couldn’t find enough talented civil servants to administer the Health Ministry from within their ranks, so had to hire more people with all the necessary backup staff. Let’s hope “new broom” Wynne will rectify this particular waste and cancel the LHIN program. We hear over and over again that big salaries are required to attract the right people to do the job.

I haven’t yet seen any evidence that this theory works.

Maybe one day the UN will introduce a world wide law prohibiting the payment of huge salaries to anyone.

Until that day, our leaders can do nothing in the face of special interest groups and professional lobbyists.

Thanks for the chance to vent.

Dear Editor, Phil Etter’s letter really had me confused … and angry. He starts off complimenting Alan Coxwell for his longwinded and meandering letter of the previous week about the current political climate in Canada in which he lays blame on Stephen Harper for everything from causing Native leaders to starve, to selling Canada to the Chinese, to changing our democracy into a fundamentalist theocracy, to having a hand in hastening the “End Days.” Who knew one man could single-handedly

cause such mayhem?

After reading Etter’s letter a second time, it became apparent that his argument wasn’t with Harper so much as it was with the provincial Liberals concerning Bill 115 which forced petulant Ontario teachers to accept the status quo and get back to work.

Etter’s contention, although unclear from his rambling prose, seems to be that implementation of Bill 115 was somehow undemocratic (it was democratically voted on and passed by a majority of MPPs in the

legislature) and that concerned citizens need to rise up and “lobby the powers that be to rescind the bill” (it has already been repealed by the provincial government). Readers need to educate themselves on the “far reaching and frightening ramifications” of Bill 115 he writes.

What really galled me about Etter’s letter, however, was his comparing the Ontario government’s use of Bill 115 on teachers to what happened in Nazi Germany under Hitler. Is he seriously implying that imposing a generous contract on teachers who refused to negotiate with the government will somehow lead to fascism and genocide?

We’ve all heard the slippery slope arguments before (usually from union bosses), but whenever someone plays the Nazi card we know they’ve run out of reasons and have lost the argument.

To quote Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

Murder Mystery in Tunisia EMC Editorial When somebody is murdered and his killer is unknown, the detective’s first step is to ask: who had a motive? In classic murder-mystery novels and films, the usual answer was: almost everyGwynne Dyer body. That’s the only way to keep the plot going for 250 pages/90 minutes.

But in real life, the suspects are generally few, and pretty obvious. So who killed Chokri Belaid?

The Tunisian human rights lawyer and political leader was assassinated outside his home as he left for work on February 6, and the country immediately erupted in violent anti-government demonstrations. His wife Basma said she would file murder charges against the ruling Ennahda Party and its leader, and the mobs in the street chanted the mantra of the Arab revolutions, “the people want the fall of the regime.”

But the regime in question is the democratically elected government of a country that has already had its revolution. Tunisia was the birthplace of the “Arab spring.” It held its first free election in October 2011, to elect an assembly to write the new constitution. The winner, as in a number of other Arab countries, was a moderate Islamic party.

The Ennahda-led transitional government has made some mistakes, as you would expect of inexperienced politicians, but it has shown no desire to subvert democracy. Indeed, the Islamic party formed a coalition with two secular centre-left parties after the election, and in the weeks before Belaid’s murder it was deep in talks to broaden the coalition and bring other secular parties in.

Those other parties have now walked out of the talks, demanding the cancellation of the results of the 2011 election.

That certainly does not serve Ennahda’s interests, and the violent protests in the streets are even more of a problem, since they might trigger a military intervention to “restore order.” (The Tunisian army is strongly pro-secularist.) In terms of motive, Ennahda has none. So who would actually benefit from killing Chokri Belaid?

One suspect is the Salafists, religious extremists who despise the Ennahda Party but absolutely hate militant secularists like Belaid. Many in the secular camp criticise Ennahda’s founder and leader, Rachid Ghannouchi, for failing to “crack down” when Salafist fanatics attack peaceful political gatherings, and he must bear some

blame here. But that’s still a long way from plotting a murder.

Ghannouchi, like the leaders of other moderate Islamic parties across the Arab world, is reluctant to treat the Salafists as enemies (even though they are), because they both compete for the votes of pious Muslims. But he also argues, quite reasonably, that mass arrests and torture of Salafists in the style of the old regime is immoral and counter-productive. Just track down the ones who have committed specific crimes.

Did the Salafists commit this particular crime? Possibly. Killing a militant secularist would be emotionally satisfying to them. But they are not actually the leading suspect in Shokri Belaid’s murder.

The prime suspect is the old ruling elite, people who served the former dictator and have been deprived of power and opportunities for graft since the revolution.

They can only regain their privileges if democracy fails, so violence in the streets, extreme political polarisation, the discrediting of an elected government, and a military take-over are precisely what they need.

The Constitutional Democratic Rally, the party whose members loyally served the dictator and were lavishly rewarded by him, was banned after the revolution, and some of its senior members are in jail or in exile.

But there are still plenty of others around, and it would be astonishing if they were not plotting a comeback. The only viable route to that goal is to stimulate a civil war between the secular democrats and the Islamic democrats.

If this is where the logic takes us, why are some of the secular parties taking to the streets? In some cases, no doubt, grief and rage have led them astray. In other cases, however, there is probably the cynical calculation that this is the most effective way to hurt the Islamic party, even if it had nothing to do with the murder.

Ennahda’s response has been less than coherent. Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali, shocked by the news of the murder, offered to replace the government with a cabinet of technocrats and call early elections, but the party’s founder and leader, Rachid Ghannoushi, said that the government should stay in place and track down the murderers.

Jebali is sticking to his guns, and the outcome is far from clear. The whole thing is a mess, and Tunisians are justifiably concerned that their revolution has lost its way. But there is quite a good chance that they will be able to get the process of building a law-abiding democracy back on track without a major disaster, and it’s certainly far too soon to say that their revolution was a mistake.

Letter to the editor

Frustration levels will continue to be high

Dear Editor, Your recent article described your frustration with the electricity costs in this province, and so we all should be.

Ontario Hydro, in its heyday, was competent in managing large expenditures. For example: the St. Lawrence Seaway project, the 25 to 60 cycle conversion of the whole generating system, and the tunnels underneath the city of Niagara Falls along with a new generating plant were completed with minimal energy rate increases which the public accepted with little criticism.

Along came the nuclear era where there was no history upon which to predict actual costs. As it turned out the costs exceeded the planned estimates. Ontario Hydro was prepared to meet these costs with moderate rate increases as they had successfully done in the past. Unfortunately, the province stepped in and declared that there would be no rate increase, but they did not cancel any further construction.

Obviously, construction continued with the costs accumulating. Eventually, the total costs were so significant that the province decided Ontario Hydro was out of control and the only way to maintain low rates, was to privatize it. This was the first blunder because private companies would take over each of the five divisions of the bro-

ken up Hydro. This meant we consumers were faced with five levels of management instead of just the one. Again, we consumers have no control over the wages and perks available to the new owners.

Ontario Hydro had definite limits on these items.

The next fiasco was to show a special “debt reduction” charge on each energy billing. My recollection was that this would be finalized by 2012. I remember reading, not too long ago, that our premier was quoted as saying that this charge would continue for three more years. Does anyone have a factual accounting of this?

The next disaster is the “green energy” concept. Green energy is fundamentally okay, but the way it is set up is a sure way to self destruct this province.

At the present time, we probably are paying about $.11 per kilowatt hour. Our supply company probably is paying about $.05 per kilowatt hour for the energy it is selling to us for the $.11. Since our government has decreed that the green energy be paid up to $.80 kilowatt hour, how can our supply company exist without increasing rates substantially to compensate?

It doesn’t look like your frustrations will ever be satisfied.

I refuse to be trained

By Terry Bush EMC Editorial - To those of you who might think my wife has something to do with the headline, sorry, not this time round.

With our 27th anniversary coming up, she’s long since given up any hope of ever changing me, training me or rearranging me.

It can’t be done.

Funny because to feel right about myself, I require constant change in my life. I would never consider travelling to the same place twice. I don’t enjoy visiting with certain people because the conversation never varies from year to year. I cringe at the thought of even wearing the same shirt more than one day in a row unless I happen to be marooned on a desert island.

Mare on the other hand hates change. Maybe that’s why she doesn’t even bother anymore as far as I’m concerned. The women who married my brothers have the same defeatist attitude.

Our dog Bug, however, still has a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Bug loves to play fetch. We’ve had her seven years now and from the first time I absent-mindedly tossed a ball behind me that some child had left in my photography studio and found it at my feet two seconds later, she’s been a fetching machine, hence the name Bug. You don’t throw, you get bugged.

That one instance was probably one of the very few times she’s brought a ball all the way back. With Bug, you’re the one doing most of the fetching. And I’m sure this devious little dog is laughing behind my back with her friends because of that.

Anyone who’s had Shelties can attest to the fact that most of them are scary smart. The very first one we had, Fauna, understood a number of different languages; she could read your face in a second to know what you were thinking and somehow knew when it was 1 p.m. every Sunday. When we saw her twirling by the front door, we didn’t have to look at the clock, we knew it was one o’clock and time to go get curd. Somehow she could even adjust her mental clock in the spring and fall to compensate for the time change.

Fauna fetched a ball exactly one time.

I explained to her, as one would to a small child, the basics of fetching. I throw the ball, you bring it back. Simple. So I threw the ball and Fauna brought it back. She then gave me a look that was easily understood. If ever I was stupid enough to throw a ball again with nobody to catch it, that would be my tough luck.

She turned and walked to the house and true to her word, she never fetched again. Fauna was definitely not into make work projects.

Bug is the spitting image of Fauna. When we did the math, from the day Fauna died to the day Bug was born was roughly the gestation period of a dog. Bug seems to have arrived with some of Fauna’s memories intact but with her own little twist.

On any given day, the first time you throw a ball in the yard, Bug will run as fast as she can to the ball, point to it with her nose, look back at you, point to it again and then walk back to you as if to say, “I showed you where you lost your ball, stupid, the rest is up to you.”

As she’s gotten older, she’s become a little more flexible. She’ll run to get the ball, pick it up but only bring it part way back.

She’s worried about my health, I’m sure, and thinks maybe I should get a little more exercise than just working one arm.

Throw the ball again and she’ll do the same thing. Over and over again until you find yourself at the opposite end of the yard. It’s at that point I have to wonder exactly who is in charge.

Toss it again and she’ll bring it right back and drop it about six feet away from your feet. One more time and she’ll come back half way, stop, stretch out on her stomach and basically say the game is over. That is until you start to walk away and then it’s game on. This is when I have to make a stand and refuse to play by her rules. I will not allow myself to be the dog in this relationship.

It’s bad enough that she calls the shots on our walks, constantly circling around pulling at my pant leg to get me to pick up the pace.

In the house, the balls are put away and the plush bones take over. Same deal. Toss one and she’ll bring it back and drop it just out of arm’s length. If you try to get her to bring it closer, she’ll look at the bone and then look at you. This usually continues until you get up out of your chair and pick it up and throw it again.

In the background is the peanut gallery composed mainly of Cassie, our runaway dog, who eggs Bug on by barking out suggestions on how to screw me over. Usually it’s the same manoeuvre as outside, the fake “I’m done playing now, I’m going to lay down and squeak this sucker.” This lasts until I sink back into my comfy chair and place my feet on the ottoman at which point she magically reappears.

Thank goodness we now have Mister to back me up. One poor guy against a house full of females is too much to take at times. Mister lurks around the periphery while all this is going on and then in a flash flies into the heat of battle, steals her bone and takes it into his house where no female dares to tread.

Nothing like having a kindred spirit of the male persuasion around. Mister does things his way and gives me hope that I’ll never be fully trained … no matter how many species of the female persuasion give it their best shot.

Letters to the editor

No easy decisions says QHC CEO

Dear Editor, Over the past month, I have read and heard considerable debate about the proposed solutions to address QHC’s upcoming funding gap. This is excellent. It is only through constructive debate with all of our health care providers, partners and communities that we can ensure we are making the best possible decisions for the future of health care in this region.

There are certainly no easy decisions to make. The reality is that QHC is facing

a $10 million funding gap, driven mostly by a reduction in provincial funding and inflationary pressures.

We have been working with our staff, physicians and other partners to develop a plan for how to tackle this situation.

Health care costs cannot continue to grow at the expense of other vital provincial programs like education, policing and social services, particularly given the provincial deficit situation.

In response, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term

Care developed their Action Plan for Health Care that is transforming the way Ontarians receive health care to create a system that is sustainable in the longterm. Hospital budgets are being reduced, but the government is making investments into other care providers in the community.

We are very supportive of this approach. We want our patients to be able to stay healthy longer and return home faster with the right supports after a hospital stay.

There do seem to be three common misunderstandings about the proposals that I would like to address: 1. All QHC hospitals will continue to have 24-hour, seven-day-a-week emergency rooms. The only types of patients who would be transferred to BGH are ones who are being transferred now because they need surgery or more specialized services.

2. Patients who are receiving inpatient care in TMH now, would continue to receive their care in

Quinte West or in their own homes, with the exception of obstetrical services. We are proposing to reduce the number of beds at PECMH, BGH and TMH by bringing the length of time people are spending in hospital to be in line with other bestperforming hospitals in the province, and by ensuring patients are receiving the care they need in their own homes or through alternative providers in the community.

3. We will be implementing more than $1 million of

savings in the management and administration areas, even though we already have a lean structure compared to other hospitals Throughout this Ontario health care transformation, the QHC Board and Senior Leadership Team remain committed to a strong, viable Trenton Memorial Hospital. Please visit the QHC web site at <www. qhc.on.ca> or call 613-9697400, ext. 2027 if you would like more information.

Keystone pipeline proves President Obama’s true allegiance Dear Editor, If you’re having trouble determining whether President Obama is the first leader of the free world to be identified as a Marxist/ Communist look no further than the Keystone pipeline fiasco. Marxists are anti-American and so is the Obama administration, even if the left goes ballistic when they hear that accusation.

As a radical Liberal, he would far sooner side with the environmentalists than create jobs that are sorely needed in an economically depressed country.

The Keystone would direct 830,000 barrels per day of crude oil pipeline across

the border, linking Alberta’s oil sands and North Dakota’s Bakken shale fields to refineries and ports in Texas.

Supporters of the $5.3-billion project would pour capital into the dismal U.S. economy, provide thousands of jobs and hasten North American energy independence. The only people opposing the benefits of such a major boost to the economy are the socialist left, those opposing big business in the guise of protecting the environment. Yet no one has successfully explained why the transportation of unethical OPEC oil is any safer than our own pipelines.

After all, the green energy

movement must be placated.

The primary objection to the pipeline appears that it will make gas prices cheaper, which would subsequently have a detrimental effect on the development of solar, turbine and other green energy sources. Green energy, by the way, is why costs for energy have doubled or tripled under the Liberal government in Ontario.

Never mind about jobs or energy independence. That would help the common man in the United States and Canada. Obama can’t let that happen as it would prove he’s been conning the public since he took office as any good Marxist would.

He and his fellow leftists believe we must all be protected at all costs from free-

enterprise capitalism.

Please someone, save us from the Soviet-style Marx-

ism Mr. Obama is trying to foist on us.

said Maddocks. “And to bring on a system whereby you’re going to fundamentally examine and prioritize the services you deliver as a service body to the public, really has staff feeling like they’re in the crosshairs.”

But the plan at Rideau Lakes included the proviso: “no one is going to lose their job.”

“That’s not to say they would be continuing to do what they’re doing now,” explained Maddocks.

“They’ll still be employed, but service delivery review allows you to, like a chalkboard, erase what’s on there now and restart it.”

“Confirm your core business,” he advised council. “And separate it from what is not your core business. As things get tighter, it gives you a guideline to assess and evaluate.

“You really have to have a plan. What are your objectives? What are you trying to achieve and what are your outcomes? It’s, fundamentally, a look at spending the money wiser.”

getting any better.

“We cannot continue to operate the way we have in the past, at all levels of government.”

Rideau Lakes, like Brighton, is a popular retirement location and those people expect services while revenues remain stagnant.

Municipalities across Ontario took a hit to their budgets this year thanks to the waning support from other levels of government.

Reductions in the payment in lieu of taxes for federal and provincial properties and the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) found Brighton officials scrambling to find more than $145,000.

“The resources are already limited, and they’re going to get tighter,” Maddocks warned council.

“You have to know what your ratepayers want and what they don’t want. It’s a prioritization of the job at hand.”

The challenge though, is taxpayers are demanding more but there’s a resistance to tax increases.

“I gotta tell ya, it’s a hard job working in the public sector right now,”

EMC News - Brighton Municipal council took a lesson from Rideau Lakes CAO Robert Maddocks last week about the value of service delivery reviews.

The presentation, for council and senior municipal staff, was in response to a request from Deputymayor Craig Kerr last October for more information.

“It’s very clear members of council don’t agree on what a municipal service delivery review is and nobody sitting around this table is in a position to make that decision without getting some preliminary information,” he told council then. “And the best place to get that information and that guidance is from people who have actually gone through this process.”

Enter Maddocks, who explained the process and the benefits.

“Service delivery reviews are the journey from interesting theory to successful implementation,” he said.

“A case for service delivery reviews includes the fiscal future of government at all levels, which I don’t see

Raising awareness for Crohn’s and colitis EMC News - Belleville The Empire Theatre in Belleville will play host to a charity event on March 16, as Brighton artist Sarah Cripps comes to Belleville in support of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CFCC).

“I know that a lot of people in this area suffer from irritable bowel syndrome [IBS], and a lot of people don’t really know what that is, or a lot of people don’t want to talk about it,” said organizer Alexander Pilon, a public relations post-grad program student at Loyalist College.

“So I thought this might be a great opportunity to have a fun night at a concert and get people to start talking about their guts.”

Sarah Cripps is a young and up-and-coming alternative country musician, and as part of her 2013 tour has decided to make a stop in Belleville to support the CFCC. Pilon has known Cripps for many years having gone to school with her brother, but he said he tried to approach her about performing the charity show as a business partner, rather than “taking advantage” of their friendship.

“Right away she was

totally into it,” Pilon said.

“She could see it … as a really great night for her and for everyone there; she was on board really early.”

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are forms of inflammatory bowel disease that affect one in every 150 Canadians, or over 230,000 Canadian adults and children. Pilon suffers from the disease himself, and said the aim of the concert is twofold: to raise money for the CFCC, and to raise awareness of the condition.

“It’s taboo to talk about your bowels, definitely not polite dinner conversation,” Pilon said. “So it’s not easy for a lot of people who are interested in raising awareness and raising funds to get out there, because it needs just regular people to start talking about it.”

Pilon said the CFCC was one of the first places he turned after being diagnosed with Crohn’s, and that the foundation is the only Canadian organization dedicated to raising money for research to find the cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

“There’s a lot of money needed for research, and because there is no cure for IBS it’s crucial to have that capital

“It’s not going to be the typical charity show, people are going to be able to come out and have a really good night, they’re going to be telling everybody what they

did on a Saturday night,” Pilon said. “And at the same time it might generate some conversation about this disease that happens to affect a lot of people in the area.”

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

Some people are intrigued by something from an early age. Maybe it’s a sport, woodworking, writing or art. They will stick with it, passionately teaching themselves, exploring possibilities, pushing the limits and the norms. Lesley Garrett seems to be one of those lucky few that collided with something early on that enthralled her - sewing.

Although her grandmother

and aunt also boast a talent for sewing, Lesley is less interested in patterns and square swatches and is instead fascinated by creating, designing and understanding how certain fabrics and textures can be combined for that unique appearance.

She left the Quinte area to hone her talent in Toronto, working in design houses. She developed an extraordinary skill as a custom drapery sewer – French pleats, goblets, inverted pleats, grommets, Roman blinds – she became a perfectionist.

She evolved into bedding sets, and soon her handiwork was used as cover art for fabric sample books. She applied that talent in the hospitality sector, designing, repairing and fabricating high-end hotel room ensembles.

Lesley Garrett Owner of Red Covers

Returning home, and after first completing entrepreneurial training through the Ontario Self-Employment Benefit Program (provided by Trenval Business Development Corporation), she set out to open her own business – Red

Covers - to do what she had done for others in Toronto.

She contacted Amber Darling, Trenval’s Loans Officer, and with Amber’s help, completed the application process to obtain financing through the Canadian Youth Business

Foundation Program. “Amber was so enthusiastic, says Lesley. “I needed start-up capital and she got the ball rolling fast. Both CYBF and Amber were ready to help.”

And now Lesley and Red Covers is on the move! She is designing new lines from her location in Marmora, including a “Zombie’s” line.

“You have to understand trends and work with them”, says Lesley. She is now shipping Zombie-printed pillows, pillow sets, toilet seat covers and clothing to a long list of international locations. “I’m really popular in Texas, California, and New York”, she laughs. Her more mainstream creations are doing extremely well too!

The CYBF Start-up Program requires that each young entrepreneur have

a mentor. Bill Pharl, an established business owner in Denbigh, stepped up. “We meet once a month to talk about how things are going.

It’s a real key component of the CYBF Program.”

“This business is more than I ever envisioned”, concludes Lesley. “A little bit of support from Trenval and the Canadian Youth Business Foundation is taking me to a level I never dreamed of!”

The Canadian Youth Business Foundation is a national organization dedicated to growing Canada’s economy one young entrepreneur at a time.

The CYBF Program helps youth aged 18 – 39 with pre-launch coaching, business resources, start-up financing and on-going mentoring.

Ridiculous, adorable and pure fun!

EMC Entertainment - Belleville - After six months of preparation and hard work, 35 Albert College senior students presented their rendition of Bob Martin’s Tony and Drama Desk award-winning musical, The Drowsy Chaperone.

A musical about people who love musicals, The Drowsy Chaperone features a die-hard theatre fan who persuades the audience to let him play his favourite record for them, the 1920s fictional musical, The Drowsy Chaperone. As the music begins,

the characters come to life in his apartment exactly as he imagines them to be: ridiculous, adorable, and completely beyond the everyday.

For Emilie Moffat, a Grade 11 student, “This is one of the most exciting shows that I’ve done in the last five years.”

Playing the role of Janet Van de Graff was “pure fun” she says.

According to stage crew member Averial Garner, a Grade 12 student, the play is an opportunity to “witness classmates take on and develop new roles, and to see how

they adapt and express them to the audience.”

This musical comedy, part of the arts program at Albert College, offers students the opportunity to explore a variety of creative endeavours.

According to director Leslie Austin-Profit, “A strong arts program fulfills our mission of inspiring academic excellence, self-confidence and sound moral values in a family environment, as artistic programs have been proven to develop creative thinking, self-confidence, and personal expression.”

Big opportunities at annual career fair EMC News - Belleville The 16th annual Loyalist College Career Fair took place on Thursday, February 7, and in talking to attendees it’s easy to tell why the fair has seen such longevity.

“When I was looking online I couldn’t really find the information, or I wasn’t really motivated when I looked at it,” said Loyalist graduate Jared Leadbeater, who was at the fair looking at further education opportunities.

“But when you’re talking to someone and they’re explaining everything, you can always ask them questions, it’s more of a personal thing.”

The Loyalist Career Fair is well-known for their overall hospitality, and this year the fair attracted a total of 82 organizations, including some 70 employers in a variety of fields. Engineering, police studies, business opportunities and healthcare were just a few of the fields represented, and Loyalist employment and career advisor Lyndsay Kerik said part of their goal each year when organizing the fair is to attract a wide range of employment and educational

opportunities for students.

“We try to have everything, I would say every year, that is our mission as the career centre ... is to have employers that represent every program that we offer here at the college,” she said.

“We have representatives from across the board.”

Amy Bancroft-Taylor, division director for Investors Group was one of those attending businesses, and she said they make a point of attending a number of local career fairs each year. She said they had a good response from the fair this year, and at the end of the day it wasn’t necessarily about making a hire on the spot.

“It’s community awareness, letting people know what the career is about, because a lot of times people really don’t understand,” she said. “So it’s just getting that awareness out there, and that’s the biggest benefit for us.”

On the other hand, there were a number of organizations that were actively recruiting at the fair, with some even conducting interviews that day. Kerik said 70 per cent of the employers this year were actively recruit-

really try to encourage students to get out there and talk to employers; this is their opportunity to ask those questions they might never get an opportunity to ask otherwise,” Kerik said. “For employers obviously the benefit is the face-to-face connection with our grads ... we’ve already had employers say ‘We were only looking for ten, but we’ve had 40 plus resumes.’”

either as a student or an organizer, she said this year was one of the busiest she had seen. For employers, that means an even bigger base of applicants to choose from.

“For students I think the biggest benefit is the networking opportunity. The career fair is a spot where they don’t have to be intimidated; recruiters are here with a smile on their face. The pressure isn’t on like in an interview. We

Loyalist has the only survey engineering program in Ontario. Kerik said that program in particular had drawn employers from as far as Alberta looking for new recruits.

“We’re providing these companies with the people they need; they know that our programs provide the skilled graduates that they’re looking for,” she said.

ing, which she sees as a fantastic opportunity for students.

“Being someone who works in the career field all the time, and knowing what today’s labour market is like, having 70 per cent of the employers actively recruiting is incredible,” she said.

Reality Check:

Dirt for seeds

The Good Earth: EMC Lifestyles - So, you’ve just purchased a packet of heirloom zucchinis and you want to sow them indoors so they’ll be ready for transplanting in spring, which, if the increasingly early trends continue, might be midMarch this year.

The idea of using your own garden soil seems to be fully in step with backto-the earth philosophies (Ellyn’s pun), but it is not always such a good idea. One of the problems is diseases, or their pathogens, that lollygag about in the ground waiting for susceptible organisms, such as tender seedlings. “Damping Off” is the most insidious chappie with at least ten different fungus thingies as its cause. If you are an old hand at seed starting, you will have experienced this condition. It’s sort of like Black Knot on plums and cherries for Prince Edward County folk; it’s only a matter of time.

We can buy a sterilised soil or we can purchase a soil-less medium. Hmm. (Note to new readers: “hmm” means I’ve just realised that I need to digress into background explanations which I tend to do in a glib, some would say unscholarly, manner.

Seasoned GRs often skip the paragraph immediately following the “hmm.”)

soil comes in two forms, the quick and the dead. Dead organic matter is just that, a dead plant, a fallen leaf, a shrivelled up bit of earthworm, the ant you stepped on and doggy doo-doo. The living, or quick portion, is made up of the earthworm that didn’t go swimming in the rain, the ant that was faster than the one on the bottom of your size nines and all the little bugs ready to turn the pooch’s gift into beneficial components. It includes the fungi, viruses and bacteria waiting to attack your tender seedling. (Note to English and/or Latin folk: prescriptive, not descriptive, linguistics is my guideline so don’t go rattling my editor’s cage about pluralisation.)

Here’s an interesting and important fact that might put this all into perspective.

A seed comes with all of the food packed inside to get it started. There is enough to produce stems, leaves and roots. All you have to do is provide the warmth and moisture to get it going. So, the idea of soil as a means to “grow” a plant is not so important. Soil, as a means to support the plant as it starts growing, is necessary. But, with this consideration in mind, you might see how a sterilised soil-less media (often vermiculite, perlite, sand

Media is another technical term (plural) that refers to dirt-like stuff in which we can grow plants. Unless, of course, we’re immersing ourselves into hydroponics and the medium is water which, while it can be dirty, is not dirt. Here’s a good definition, lifted from the government of Georgia’s agricultural web site because of its clarity: “Horticultural growing medium” means any substance or mixture of substances which is promoted as or is intended to function as an artificial soil for the managed growth of horticultural crops.” New GR, that packet of zucchini seeds is intended to become a managed horticultural crop.

Soil is rock plus minerals plus organic matter.

Rock comes in the forms of mountains, boulders, pebbles, and grains of sand.

Minerals come in the forms of … well … I couldn’t find a simple definition except it is a naturally inorganic material with a consistent and repeating internal crystal structure. Quartz and sulphur are minerals. At this stage of the game, we’re not overly concerned about minerals except to say it is not a good idea to grow seeds on a chunk of quartz or in a heap of sulphur. The organic matter in natural

I wonder how often in my personal life I’ve done the same thing? I like to think of myself as in control, and accepting help is admitting weakness. None of us wants to think we are weak. Often we’d rather have the frustration of butting our heads against a wall rather than give in to the fear of being vulnerable.

No wonder so many of us are spending our lives treading water. Maybe debt is piling up and we honestly have no idea how to create a budget. But mature people know how to stick to a budget!

Admitting you have a problem is like saying you’re not mature. So the red ink keeps getting redder.

You can sterilise garden soil but I would ask you to consider the net impact on the environment. The simplest method is to look at the pictures on the bags of dirt at your local garden centre.

Maybe the principal keeps calling reporting more problems with a wayward child, but you don’t want to admit that something’s really wrong because it could reflect badly on choices you’ve made.

And so you lash out at the messenger.

“Oh, come on, Sheila. This is ridiculous. Just swim harder.”

My daughter, who is a lifeguard, found it challenging, though she managed to reach the ladder. But though I got within about twenty feet of it, I couldn’t get any closer.

All I was doing was standing still. So finally I reached out, grabbed that board, and was pulled in.

Looking back I’m not sure why I was so stubborn.

I guess I just didn’t want to accept the fact that I needed help. I considered myself a competent, if not good, swimmer. If I took help, it was as if I would be admitting that I am not as in control as I think I am.

Ag Society planning auto motivated events

By Richard Turtle

EMC News - Stirling Despite some rumours of its demise, the annual automotive flea market will be back at the Stirling Fairgrounds on the first weekend in May. In fact, says Stirling Agricultural Society President Jason Detlor, the Annual Flea Market “will be bigger and better than ever.”

Formerly operated in Stirling as the Antique Automotive Flea Market by the Antique Automobile Club of America, organizers pulled up stakes last year, announcing a move to the Lindsay Fairgrounds. But many of the vendors were opposed to the move and vowed to return to Stirling if the Agricultural Society was to continue to support it, he says. And the Stirling Agricultural Society’s Annual Flea Market was born.

Scheduled for May 4 and 5, Detlor says this

year’s event is expected to be a huge success and organizers have expanded the vendor area where more than 500 sites have already been claimed.

Stirling has seen thousands of visitors arrive for the car parts and automotive memorabilia laid out at the fairgrounds every May, and in growing numbers. And 2013 is expected to be no different, Detlor says. With vendors throughout the fairgrounds and indoors at the recreation centre, organizers are calling it the largest flea market east of Toronto and are planning for two full days of “antique cars, parts and Automobilia.”

Doors open at 9 a.m. and the market closes at 5 p.m. with free parking for visitors. Admission is $5 and children under 12 are admitted free.

But before the automobile collectors and engine enthusiasts gather

in Stirling again, perhaps hoping to find that one elusive part for their latest project while sharing stories of building and rebuilding machines, the Agricultural Society is preparing for another, more destructive, automotive event.

Later this month about 40 cars are expected to collide in several planned heats at the inaugural Snow Derby, leaving plenty of parts behind.

A wintertime first for the society, Detlor says the success of the demolition derbies during past

Stirling Fairs is hoped to translate into a slightly chillier thrill before winter is over.

And there will be hot chili available during the event as well, he says.

Snow, he says, would certainly prove an interesting challenge, “but if we don’t

have snow, we’ll do it anyway.”

The Snow Derby is scheduled for February 23 at 1:30 p.m. at the fairgrounds. Further information and registration details are available by calling Jason Detlor at 613-921-2402.

Legion holds public speaking contest to encourage youth

By Kate Everson

EMC News - Quinte West Students are learning to put their mouth where the money is. Winners of a public speaking contest put on by the Royal Canadian Legion

Branch 110 on March 3 will be going on to compete at higher levels across the province and the top three will take home monetary prizes.

“The Youth Public Speaking Contest is part of the Le-

gion’s Youth and Education program and is meant to give young people an opportunity to speak in public,” says Manny Raspberry, youth education chairman.

This competition is open

Mobile storage business given okay to build

By Kate Everson

EMC Business - Quinte West - A mobile storage business owned by Kelvin Deokie has been given approval to set up on County Road 40 in Murray Ward.

Andrea Furniss, area planner, told the Planning Advisory Committee that the application is to rezone the western portion of the property comprised of 2.7 hectares and 295.3 metres frontage on County Road 40.

“This is a mobile storage business with a maximum 16 shipping containers for mobile storage as well as on-

Harrington Road realignment under way

site storage for a landscaping business,” Furniss said.

The rezoning is from MG (H) - General Industrial (Holding) to MG-6 - General Industrial Special Zone.

Furniss noted that the eastern portion of the property, approximately 3.1 hectares, is not included in the application and will remain MG (H) which will prohibit further development at this time.

John Fegan, agent for the application, advised that this will facilitate the relocation of two existing businesses to a single location.

Jim Harrison commented that the property has been available for a long time and he believes it is a prime location for a business of this

type.

Chair Ron Hamilton asked if the proposal will impact the nearby trailer park. Mayor John Williams asked if this storage was similar to the setup of a business on Trenton-Frankford Road.

Furniss stated that this proposal will have no impact on adjacent properties and advised that the site plan control requirements can provide for buffering and screening of open storage materials.

“The majority of the storage units will be mobile and not permanently located on the site,” she added.

The committee recommended the application be approved.

to students enrolled in all Quinte West schools. The speakers may select their own topics and are divided into four groups: Primary Grades 1 to 3 (speaking time three to five minutes); Junior Grades 4 to 6 (speaking time three to five minutes); Intermediate Grades 7 to 9 (speaking time three to five minutes); and, Senior Grades 10 to 12 (speaking time five to seven minutes).

All of the judges will be bilingual, and English and French speakers will compete within the same contest at all levels. The winner of each division in the Branch competition will then represent the Legion and participate in the next level at Zone and if successful, the District, and hopefully, the provincial competition.

Monetary prizes will be awarded to the first-, secondand third-place winners of each Division at the Branch Competition on March 3.The next level, Zone, will be held here at the Legion on March 24.

“The Royal Canadian Legion supports and sponsors many programs for Canadian Youths and almost every Le-

gion Branch is involved in Youth programs,” Raspberry noted.

These programs include: offering bursaries and scholarships each year; conducting an annual Remembrance Day poster, essay and poetry contest in which 60,000 Canadian students participate each year; supporting the Scouting and Guide movements and

related Youth groups in Canada; sponsors in the National Track and Field Championships for more than 350 athletes ages 12 to 17 years; and, support and sponsor many of the community sports programs that we all know so well. The annual Youth Public Speaking Contest is one of these major initiatives of the Legion.

EMC News - Quinte West The city is on its way to finally straightening out Harrington Road. Negotiations with property owners along a dangerous S-curve have taken several months.

The city has signed an agreement with Wade Donald Phillips and Angela Lorraine Phillips for the purchase of land on Lot 17, Concession 4, Sidney, in order to facilitate the realignment of Harrington Road.

The bylaw entitled the Phillips Land Purchase Agreement designates the purchase of the land for $5,000.

Another bylaw authorized the city to enter into an agreement with Frederick Carl Phillips and Gail Susanne Phillips for the purchase of land on Lot 17, Concession 4, Sidney, in order to facilitate the realignment of Harrington Road.

The land was purchased for $60,000 plus HST. The city also purchased land for $1,500 from Michael Leon Collins at Lot 17, Concession 4, Sidney, in order to facilitate the realignment.

The city also agreed to regrade the side slopes of Collins’ property in order to meet MNR pit requirements, replace page wire fence on both sides of the property that fronts along the realignment and install two entrances on the south side as well as on the north side.

The bylaws took effect on February 4, 2013, after being passed in council. Brush and trees have already been cleared in the area.

TRAVEL

A visit to a five-star resort in Jamaica

A view of the Gran Bahia Principe Jamaica Resort at Runaway Bay.

By John M. Smith

EMC Lifestyles - Some area residents will soon be departing for “Beach Party 13” at the 5-star Gran Bahia Principe Jamaica Resort at Runaway Bay. Therefore, I thought this would be a good time to write about this particular destination, for my wife and I stayed there just after its official opening, and we loved it!

This beautiful all-inclusive resort resembles a Spanish castle, and it’s located along Jamaica’s northern coast. The oceanfront views are awesome, the variety of food is great, and the pletho-

ra of daily activities will give you plenty of options. For example, if you get tired of simply soaking up the sun or lazing under one of the resort’s swaying palm trees or casually walking along the sandy beach, you can participate in water aerobics classes, water basketball and/or water volleyball in one of the resort’s three lake-style pools or you can participate, near the pools, in such activities as horseshoes, table tennis, exercise classes, or reggae dancing. We even discovered that there were scheduled lectures on the

resort, which included information on the history of Jamaica and on the making of local crafts and foods.

There’s also free Wi-Fi in the lobby, a fitness centre, tennis courts, shops, a casino, nightly entertainment, and 24-hour room service.

I remember we heard a lot of Bob Marley music by the pools; I got so “caught up” in this music that I even purchased some Bob Marley sandals in the resort’s shopping village, and I still take these with me when I now go to visit other beach resorts.

We were particularly impressed by how clean the premises were kept, and our junior suite’s fridge was restocked daily and our room was cleaned twice a day.

However, this was just after the resort had opened, before the casino and all the restaurants were even completed, so things may have changed somewhat. I also remember that we were struck by the beauty of the marble staircases we found on this property, but then discovered that they seemed to get rather slippery when wet, so use caution.

Touring the Wassi Factory, where beautiful pottery is created.

A pool at the Gran Bahia Principe Resort.

I also remember we were impressed by the number and variety of the restaurants. The main restaurant, the Orquidea, served an international cuisine at its daily buffets—three meals per day—and it would feature particular themes, so the menu would vary. We were also able to make reservations for three dinners in the resort’s specialty restaurants, and we particularly enjoyed the Mikado, a Japanese restaurant where the food was cooked right in front of us. We were at a table for ten, eight Canadians and two residents of Ireland, and eagerly watched the creation of our wonderful feast, which included sushi, rice, tuna, beef, chicken, and shrimp. Another specialty highlight was a surf and turf meal, with a lobster tail, at the Garden Grill. However, a new seafood restaurant was being built while we were there, so such a meal would probably be served in the newer facility now. I understand that the Burger Principe even serves fast food all night long now, so you won’t go hungry here—even in the middle of the night!

Since you’ll be staying at

Connecting you with care

an all-inclusive, you might even decide to sample some of the local drinks, as we did including Jamaican beer (“Red Stripe”) and rum found in such popular rum concoctions as “hummingbirds” and “dirty bananas.”

I’d also recommend going off of the resort and doing a day or two of touring while you’re there so you can see more of this intriguing island. We, for example, decided to take the “Ocho Rios Highlights Tour,” and this day trip provided shopping opportunities in downtown Ocho Rios itself, with its many specialty stores and craft markets. It also provided us with a tour of the Wassi Art Factory, where local artisans create exquisite pottery, a drive through the lush Fern Valley, where a forest of ferns could be seen clinging to the steep hillsides, a stop at the beautiful Coyaba Botanical Gardens, and a visit to the not-to-bemissed Dunn’s River Falls.

The climbing of Dunn’s River Falls itself should be on your “to do” list while here; it was on mine. Be sure to wear water shoes (which can be purchased there) and form a human chain when ascending the slippery rocks.

On another day, while my wife relaxed at the re-

sort, I went mountain biking in the Blue Mountains with Blue Mountain Bicycle Tours, Inc., and I’d certainly recommend this to any avid cyclists and adventurers.

However, it’s a long drive to get there, so expect a full day’s activity (about 11 hours). The group ascended, in vans, to the summit, and then we descended, by bike, on steep, narrow, treacherous, curving roads with potholes and loose gravel. We passed coffee plantations, lush rainforests, and spectacular waterfalls, eventually arriving at a lovely lagoon with a cascading waterfall, where we could reward ourselves with a refreshing dip or enjoy a cold beer that was on sale there.

Our week in Jamaica was filled with many good memories, but one must also be prepared for some “detours” along the way. For example, we arrived in Jamaica from Toronto at 1:30 a.m., which was not a great time of the day for viewing the Jamaican scenery on the one-hourlong shuttle to the resort. To increase our particular “detour,” it took us about two hours to simply get through customs upon arrival, and our group didn’t actually all get on board our shuttle bus and reach our destination until after 5 a.m.!

Big weekend for Belleville Bulls was able to locate the puck before the Otters goaltender, and he snapped it home into the gaping cage to tie the game.

Graovac wasn’t done there, however, and less than a minute later was back to terrorizing the Otters goalie. After an Erie turnover in the neutral zone, the Bulls found themselves with a threeon-one rush where Graovac took a Gaunce pass and made a gorgeous deke to make his way around the Erie netminder and tuck home his 26th goal of the season.

With a 2 - 1 lead play started to get a bit chippy, punctuated by a brief fight that served as a bit of a precursor for some more of the rough stuff later on.

After the Bulls found themselves on the penalty kill early in the second period, M. Subban began to make his mark on the game after a solid, if unspectacular opening frame.

After shutting down the Erie powerplay, the two teams traded chances and penalties as the period went on, but both goalies were outstanding in the second period. Each made 15 saves, but neither was willing to make the first mistake and the game headed to the third period with the Bulls still hanging on a slim 2 - 1 lead.

The third period began with penalties and ended with more penalties, but thankfully for the fans some hockey was played in between. After the Bulls’ Garrett Hooey and

Otters’ Nick Bentz each drew a game misconduct for fighting, the Bulls poured on the pressure on the offensive side of the puck, but it took them over 14 minutes to finally put the Otters to bed.

Jordan Subban picked up his 10th goal of the year on a nearly point-blank slapshot, and a 3 - 1 lead was more than M. Subban needed in net. Bulls forward Alan Quine tacked on another late powerplay goal for good measure, and the Bulls headed to Ottawa to take on the 67’s with a 4 - 1 victory under their belts.

The game against the 67’s proved to be a much closer affair, although once again it was the Bulls offensive firepower that made all the difference. Graovac scored a goal and an assist in his first game against his old club, Daniil Zharkov scored twice and Quine added three assists as the Bulls claimed a wild 6 - 4 victory. Malcolm Subban made 32 saves and picked up an assist on Graovac’s first-period goal, and the Bulls picked up their 31st win of the season to maintain their division lead over Oshawa.

The Bulls faced the Kingston Frontenacs on Wednesday, February 13.

The score was unavailable by press time. The Bulls travel to Mississauga Friday, February 15, to face the Steelheads before returning home the next night, Saturday, February 16, to host the Sudbury Wolves.

Basketball tourney for Big Brothers/Big Sisters EMC Sports - Loyalist College Post-Graduate Public Relations students are co-ordinating a youth basketball tournament in support of the Big Brothers/ Big Sisters of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties.

The tournament will take place on Saturday, March 9, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the college gymnasium.

sjessel@theemc.ca EMC Sports - Belleville A day after a record-setting snowfall blanketed the region and forced the cancellation of the Belleville Bulls game against the Kingston Frontenacs on Friday, February 8, the Bulls were back on the ice again when they hosted the Erie Otters on Saturday, February 9. Starting goaltender Malcolm Subban made 38 saves while forward Tyler Graovac chipped in with a pair of first-period goals, and the Bulls emerged the 4 - 1 victor from a rough-andtumble game that saw the two teams combine for a total of 20 penalties, including a pair of fights.

The Bulls should have had the fresher legs between the two teams coming off of six days of rest, but unexpectedly it was the Otters who took charge early on.

After outshooting the Bulls in the opening minutes, the Otters pushed it up the ice and Erie forward Hayden Hodgson let a wrist shot go from a sharp angle that beat Subban, giving Erie a 1 - 0 lead. Thankfully for the Bulls, falling behind to the last-place team in the Western Conference seemed to ignite a fire underneath them, and after Erie’s first penalty of the game just 27 seconds later, high-scoring forward Graovac made them pay.

After captain Bulls Brendan Gaunce’s shot rang off the post, Graovac

Can Get The Opportunity of 2013

Contractor Committed To…Helping 89 Homeowners By “Giving Away” $5,484 Furnaces For only $1,879† With purchase of Off-Season Central Air… Dear Neighbour:

offer came about.

should have a right to pay!

This is great news for your wallet if your furnace is over 10 years old.

Because, yes it’s absolutely true… you can actually replace your old (and probably very inefficient) furnace and air conditioner as a package for less than you would have to pay at any other time of the year.

Every year, the big manufacturers of air conditioners and furnaces have to forecast how many to build to meet the demand. Of course, they’re never exactly right. So, they often have additional inventory. And, because of the quantity and time of year, we were able to negotiate directly with the manufacturer for reduced pricing if we purchased by volume. The other condition was that we had to take the matching air conditioner as well. This special negotiating is why it becomes an excellent opportunity for you.

So, if you buy one of these 89 new premier air conditioner packages (but only if one of the four sizes I have will fit your house, of course), I am ”giving” you the matching furnace and all I ask for is the $1,879† in labour and material and overhead it costs for installation.

Please allow me to explain…

Every year, the months of January, February and March can “be tough” on my business. I can end up losing money during these “long tough” months and it can take me the remaining nine months to make up for them. I’m not looking for the same thing to happen this year. That is why…

My Problem Is An Excellent Opportunity For You I employ great people and I want to keep them working during these long winter months. That is why I’ve decided to do something about it.

If I can only minimize any possible losses during January, February and March, I will come out ahead of the other nine months.

Here’s how this (admittedly daring)

They are brand new models and they are NOT the seconds or “blems” or standard “builder” models. They are factory-fresh, premium air conditioners and furnaces and have a full factory warranty.**

Keep Reading To Learn How To Get A Top-of-the-Line Furnace For Much Less

By putting this furnace and air conditioner package together (then negotiating with the manufacturer) and committing to a purchase agreement of 89 systems, I was able to buy both the furnace and the air conditioner for less than anyone

Perfect Fit For Your Home Just call me at 613-392-6852 anytime. I will come out and measure your home (and determine the availability of the proper size).

Don’t forget, I only have 89 matched systems in four sizes. When they are gone, this remarkable offer ends also.

I will show you the real world price on the system that fits your home.

Then, I will show you the substantial savings available now. And it will include all labour and installation materials. Nothing is left out!

What A Really Simple Concept By letting you win big now, I will win at the end of the year.

I’m betting that if I make you an offer that is “irresistible” (at least it should be if your furnace or air conditioner is over 10 years old) I will accomplish two things: 1. I can pay my professional staff to

work instead of not paying them to sit at home.

2. I will cover my rent, utilities, insurance and taxes during these challenging winter months.

If I can accomplish these two objectives, I will minimize my lost business and the rest of the year, I can be a winner.

Absolutely No Obligation

Even after your consultation is over, there is absolutely no obligation to buy. If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of the spectacular savings…that’s okay. I will give you a surprise gift worth $155 because you are kind enough to read this letter and give me a chance to solve my challenge. I want you to think well of 21 Degrees One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning even if you don’t buy.

You Can Buy With NO Cash Consider this…if you decide to make monthly investments instead of paying cash, the entire amount of your payments might even be offset by the savings on your utility bills. It’s like “having your cake and eating it too”.

Why This Offer Can’t Last You must act before March 31st.

Here are two reasons why:

1. I only have four sizes available.

When all of the matched air conditioners and furnaces are installed in a particular size, that’s it.

There are no more at this price.

2. If I have any of the 89 systems left on March 31st (although I doubt I will), this offer still ends.

Here’s why…

The only reason I am making this great offer is because of the “difficult” months. My business always starts to improve in April and because the furnaces cost me less, I can sell them at 2013 prices later in the season and still come out ahead.

Give us a call now at 613-392-6852 and I will set an appointment for your no-obligation survey.

P.S. Six months from now, this will probably be the most appreciated opportunity ever extended to homeowners in your area. Every one of the 89 proud owners will have an advantage over the utility company.

P.P.S. Don’t forget. Once we complete your no obligation appointment, a FREE $155 surprise gift awaits you.

And there is no obligation.

Moira Lake Snowmobile Drags a resounding success

By Terry Bush

EMC Sports - The timing

of last week’s winter storm could have been a little better but members of the Centre Hastings Snowmobile Club aren’t going to complain. Working into the wee hours Friday night clearing snow and getting the drag strip into shape paid off big time for the club with close to 550 spectators arriving to watch the races on Saturday.

And the weather couldn’t have been better.

The crowds were thrilled with non-stop racing action starting at 10 a.m. with a top speed for the day of 117 miles per hour registered on the radar gun. The course was only 660 feet long.

With lots of racers turning out for the event, the organizers were pleased with the turnout though the storm did keep some racers from making the trip. Others didn’t let the blizzard keep them from travelling long distances.

“I know of one group that came from Sudbury and stayed at the Park Place Motel in Tweed,” said club treasurer Steve Thrower.

Four women entered the contest and did well against the men. Three kids signed up in that class, boding well for next year’s bigger and better event.

On the politicians’ side, the title fittingly went to Daryl Kramp, though some might say his knowledge of the lake and its ice might have given him a hometown advantage. The races were held right across from the site of the Two Loons restaurant the Kramps owned.

Hot on Daryl’s trail was MPP Todd Smith followed

by Centre Hastings Deputyreeve Tom Simpson and Andrew Vanecko of the hometown snowmobile club.

An army of volunteers from local service clubs and the snowmobile club shared in the event’s profits which in turn will be going back into the community. Close to $7,600 was raised through the gate and food purchases.

Please see “Snomobile” on page B3

With all that power under the hood, it was hard for some racers to keep the skis anywhere near the ice. Above, a big black “Cat” gets the jump on Charlie Marchant of Norwood.

Canadian Pickers spends the day at the home of Model T enthusiasts

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - Canadian Pick-

ers blew into Campbellford last week in the middle of a snowstorm arriving on the doorstep of Steve and Carol Anne Stapley where they spent the day in this safe haven as part of their crossCanada treasure hunt.

Calgary-based pickers Scott Cozens and Sheldon Smithens are on the road again for a brand new season of Canadian Pickers.

The pickers are searching out new treasure troves in British Columbia, Quebec,

Manitoba, New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, and their native Alberta for their fourth season.

The Stapley home, where Steve Stapley & Sons 24 Hour Towing & Autobody is located, is now one of those stops.

“It was our model Ts that brought them here,” said Carol Anne Stapley.

EMC had rushed to their place of business upon learning of the visit by these two well-known TV celebrities.

“They heard about us, just word-of-mouth,” said

Stapley, humble about the fact that the family is well known internationally with a reputation as collectors and restorers of brass era automobiles.

Online they are described as a family of Ford Blue Bloods. Their three sons, Scott, Bryce and Kelly and their families are all involved with this passion for these automobiles.

“They grew up around all of this,” Stapley told EMC. She and her husband are active in Model T Ford Club International as well as the Ontario Region.

They have set up a new chapter “trying to keep the young people involved.”

The couple, married for 35 years, have always enjoyed their love affair with the Model T. They were married in a Model T, their eldest son came home from hospital in a model T and two of their sons both used Model Ts at their weddings.

Stapley also has an antique shop on the property with everything from bikes to wagons, doll carriages to pedal cars.

“We are open by chance or

by appointment,” she said.

Typically the shop opens in the spring.

But the day Canadian Pickers showed up they were definitely open for business.

Media was not allowed to stay or take photos as the production company was filming. Everything is kept under wraps until the new season launches later this spring.

“We had a good time.

They are great people,” said Stapley. Her husband and their eldest son Scott are to be featured in the show.

A plan to save Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile lighthouse

By Ray Yurkowski

tion Society officers Norm Bastin and Dave Sharp, who outlined a plan to save the aging, historic maritime symbol.

The Society is a non-

profit organization created in 2012 to repair and refurbish the second-oldest lighthouse in the province.

Originally built from limestone in 1840, it was clad in

cedar shingles 54 years later to prevent further decay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you look at the lighthouse, it looks pretty darn nice from a distance,â&#x20AC;? said Sharp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem R0011913502

is, when you get up close, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to fall apart.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the problems we see in the immediate future is the amount of moisture trapped inside,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The priority for this year is to stop the deterioration by the humidity and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably a $10,000 to $15,000 fix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our objectives are fairly straightforward. First, we want to evaluate the condition of the lighthouse and, for that, we have a lot of engineers willing to step forward. Next, we want to begin the steps that are required to stop any deterioration of that building, both from an internal and external point of view. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty aggressive but I think we can do it with a lot of help: by 2015, we want to restore the lighthouse to its former glory.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every city has its icon,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Brighton, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lighthouse and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to preserve, our local heritage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is, what do we want? Do we want something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fully restored back to its original grandeur or do we want a pile of stones and a tripod stuck out at the point? We have a decision to make for our future generations.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To do all that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a lot of funds,â&#x20AC;? Sharp explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing a lot of membership drives over

the next two years, holding raffles and a charity evening event as well as asking for donations. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be looking for both corporate and government financial support.â&#x20AC;?

They asked for municipal support in a number of ways: a link on the municipal web site to the Society web site, a letter of support, a donation and, working in conjunction with the Society, a Lighthouse Heritage Week.

Deputy-mayor Craig Kerr asked if there were any estimates for the cost of the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking at other lighthouses that have had structure work done, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at in the range of $1 million, maybe a million-and-aquarter,â&#x20AC;? said Bastin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be the top figure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an engineer who is coming to look at it at the beginning of April and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give us an idea of what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at for the restructuring of the lighthouse.â&#x20AC;?

Despite being barely mentioned in the 20-year Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile Provincial Park Management Plan, issued in October 2000, Ministry of Natural Resources senior media relations officer Jolanta Kowalski said last November, in reply to questions asked by EMC newspapers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The long-term protection of the lighthouse is Please see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Restorationâ&#x20AC;? on page B3

Over $2,500 was divvied up in prize money among the racers.

The shuttle service provided by Foleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bus Lines also worked well though many folks crammed the parking lots and sides of the highway to be closer to the action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an extremely busy day but well worth the effort,â&#x20AC;? said Steve

Thrower, one of the organizers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I firmly believe the community and surrounding areas had an opportunity to see what this type of event can offer.

The economic impact will be felt in years to come as we move forward after our learning experience this year. Each and every non-profit group involved realizes the benefits this type of event will have for

their organization and the community.â&#x20AC;?

A few changes will be made for next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a bigger event planned for next year,â&#x20AC;? said Thrower. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a focus on fewer classes of snowmobiles as far as ccâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. And hopefully we do not get dumped on with snow at the last minute again,â&#x20AC;? he joked.

NHL type hockey net stolen from community rink EMC News - Castleton Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were informed of a theft of a distinct hockey net from the Community Recreational Park on Cemetery Road in Castleton.

The theft happened sometime on Tuesday, February 5.

A witness observed a dark blue or black small pickup truck drive past his residence at approximately 11 p.m. on Pine Street with what he believed was a hockey net that was from the Community Park.

The witness attended to the park ice rink area and

confirmed the theft and contacted OPP. An investigation was conducted and it was determined that a vehicle had entered the park.

A Riley Manufacturing, 44-inch goal frame with six millimetre netting, red and white in colour hockey net was stolen. This is not something a person would typically go out to purchase for a driveway or backyard.

The invoiced value of the net is $1,050. There were two nets left at the rink.

OPP are continuing to investigate.

The Castleton Sports

Club is a community volunteer organization and raised funds to purchase a pair of regulation sized hockey nets for the community park ice rink from community donations. Anyone with information about this theft or the whereabouts of this item is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or the local Brighton detachment at 1-613-475-1313 .

Should you wish to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), where you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.

important to the Ministry.

Repairs to the lighthouse are evaluated annually and assigned a priority against other capital projects.â&#x20AC;?

But she added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ministry is always open

to exploring partnerships; particularly for a project like this where there are a number of interests. We would encourage any groups that have interest in the care of the Presquâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ile lighthouse to contact the

park superintendent to explore partnership opportunities.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic idea and I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a lot of folks who want to see this happen,â&#x20AC;? said Councillor Tom Rittwage.

have suffered huge population losses in recent years.

In British Columbia, for instance, there are not enough bees when blueberries are in flower to pollinate them.

“It’s really scary, the numbers are decreasing so much.”

“No pollinators, no blueberries,” says Higgs.

In California they have to bring in bees to the almond groves every year.

“They actually use half the honey bees in North America. They ship them to California over the course of six weeks,” she said. “In parts of China they handpollinate because they don’t have enough pollinators.”

Providing the wild bee population with a home is crucial, says Higgs.

“They’re very important to the whole pollination scene. I’m the eternal opti-

erything up.”

There are also installations like Mission Bee Houses.

Critically, the garden has to be pesticide-free.

“There are lots of benign things we can do.”

Some pollinator-friendly plants Higgs suggested include: For Spring, Canadian Columbine, blueberries, crocus, daffodils, day lilies, dandelions, foxglove, “all trees that flower in the spring are a great source for pollinators, sumac, tulips, willow bushes; Midseason, bee balm, black currant, black-eyed susan, butterfly weed, calendula, chives, geraniums, hollyhock, honeysuckle, lavender, lemon balm, milkweed, purple cone flower, carrots, squash, zucchini, cucumber, pumpkin, sunflowers, zinnias, lupin; Late season, aster, Blue Vervain, chicory, dandelions, Golden Rod, Joe Pye Weed, Sweet Autumn Clematis, thistle.

mist so I’m always hopeful that some way we’re going to get a handle on this. Everybody can do their part. If everybody who had property did as much as they could for pollinators that would be a huge help.”

It’s as simple as planting things in your garden that attract pollinators.

“We can offer what they need when they need it: food, water, shelter and protection from poisons.

“Native plants will provide the best food source for native bees,” said Higgs noting that honey bees are not native but bumble bees are.”

There are lots of herbs, flowers, fruits, vegetables that can be grown in our gardens to help bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, says Higgs.

“Crocuses are absolutely the best plant you can grow if you want to attract pollinators,” she said. “They are one of the first flowers of spring. Daffodils are the same; day lilies are an absolutely wonderful source for pollinators.”

Higgs even defended the hated dandelion: “Leave them as a food source for spring.

“How about a deal, first two weeks in the spring and the last two weeks of the season?” she said with a laugh.

EMC News - Hastings Local market gardener Joyce Higgs of Hastings spoke to a group of area residents last week about things they can do to attract important pollinators like bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to their gardens.

The actions of individuals can have a positive impact, she emphasised, while providing a good starter list of things they can grow to provide a healthy haven for pollinators.

It’s important to provide water as well, something as simple as a shallow dish with pebbles that offer a landing place and to “leave a little bit of wilderness” in the garden.

Ninety per cent of bees, for instance, live on the ground.

All they need is a “little tiny corner of your garden.”

“They need some bare earth out of the way [and] they will find it,” she said.

Food for pollinators

EMC News - Hastings - It isn’t all “doom and gloom,” says Hastings market gardener Joyce Higgs of the plight of pollinators that are an essential part of the food chain and the health of our environment.

Still, it is “turning into a huge problem,” says Higgs, especially with bees, and continues to capture headline ink as biologists and naturalists warn about massive population decreases and what that means considering that 75 per cent of the food crop depends on pollinators like bees, monarch butterflies and hummingbirds, but also ants and beetles “which are less fun to look at.”

“It’s really scary, the numbers are decreasing so much,” Higgs told the Northwest EMC before a presentation at the Victoria Street seniors’ apartment complex on how local gardeners can help pollinators.

“A lot of people don’t understand how much we need pollinators,” she says.

“There has been so much habitat degradation or fragmentation they really are at risk, the same with other species.”

“It’s not a doom and gloom situation because there are things we can do as individuals as long as we realize these are pollinators and they need our help; there are things you can do on a personal level as a gardener to help.”

The plight of bees (there are 800 species of native bees) is at the forefront.

They are, Higgs stresses, “the most widespread and important pollinators” but they are under siege and

Local businesswoman to appear on Dragonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Den

17, showcasing a new product on the CBC television show Dragonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Den which airs at 8 p.m.

make an impression with their product Baby BlowOut Blocker.

On Dragonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Den aspiring entrepreneurs pitch to five multi-millionaires with the expertise and the money to turn great ideas into incredible fortunes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have had a lot of emotions about this, excitement, nervousness and anticipation,â&#x20AC;? she told EMC. Parr started distributing Baby BlowOut Blockers through her company Kalika Baby Inc. less than a year ago â&#x20AC;&#x153;after connecting with a fellow mom [Miller] from Utah who had a similar concept to a common problem, untimely up-the-back baby poop explosionsâ&#x20AC;?.

Since teaming up, their product has been featured in a North American magazine, on Breakfast Television, and now on Dragonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Den. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all very exciting for this mom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband, Stephen, is very supportive,â&#x20AC;? she commented.

Parr is no stranger to the world of business.

She owned a cheerleading company, Quinte Bay Cheerleading Jaguars, where she

coached about 50 athletes.

She ended that after four years when she gave birth to her first child.

Her new company Kalika Baby Inc., is named after her two daughters, Kaylee, four and Danika, two.

Miller holds the patent and Parr is the exclusive Canadian distributor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an experienced moth-

er of two girls I know that our product Baby BlowOut Blocker is the only product to relieve parents from the stress and mess of blowout surprises,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Anyone who is a parent will know what that means.

Sales of her product are already going well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know this is not a common place discussion,â&#x20AC;? she

quipped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it is just amazing the response I get from those who purchase the product as well as those who have experience raising children.â&#x20AC;?

Parrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey to Dragonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Den began with an audition last February in Peterborough.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an interesting thing to see â&#x20AC;Ś when you

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a show we watch a fair bit.â&#x20AC;?

Cozens and Smithens will

carried out in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it was a big opportunity,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find out until two weeks ago I made it to the actual show.â&#x20AC;?

The two entrepreneurs have no idea what portion of the taping will make it to air.

And they cannot reveal what happens on the show.

Parr did say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had our pitch well rehearsed and practised ahead of time. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate what the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dragonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are going to say but we walked away pleased with what we got across.â&#x20AC;?

They were centrestage when they faced the Dragons Bruce Croxon, David Chilton, Arlene Dickinson, Kevin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary and Jim Treliving.

Ideally the goal is to get financial backing and expertise from the Dragons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beyond that regardless of the outcome, the exposure, the national platform, is phenomenal,â&#x20AC;? said Parr.

An encore airing of the program will happen on Monday, February 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family day,â&#x20AC;? said Parr with a grin.

you Thanks to many in our community:

Many thanks to the Volunteer Fire Fighters of AsphodelNorwood, Trent Hill’s and Havelock-Belmont-Methuen who answered the call and successfully extinguished a fire at our farm on Jan 31, 2013. Working cooperatively to fight the fire, you all demonstrated a level of professionalism and skill that is second to none. Your efforts to control and contain the fire ensured that we were able to keep the barn in production and the fire did not spread to neighbouring buildings which could have easily been a reality. Your performance on that cold, windy and snowy day was outstanding and for that we are extremely grateful.

We would be remiss if we did not also mention the efforts of all the trade’s people that got the feeders running again, the water, heat, natural gas, and electricity operational again and who quickly constructed a temporary wall so that we could continue to operate from that barn. Remarkably no chickens were lost and this would not have been possible without your efforts.

Our sincere thanks to Walsh Electric, Dan Van Bruinessen Construction, Glass Pac St. Jacob’s and Randy Gillingham Heating.

Also thanks to all of the local businesses, neighbours and family that provided coffee and sandwiches throughout the day for the Firemen and support workers. Special thanks to all those friends and family who have called and visited offering their support, your thoughtfulness is much appreciated.

Appreciation also goes to the HTM Insurance Company and Calvin Newman that responded with professional service that afternoon. Understanding coverage to value certainly is important at a time like this.

A very special thank you to Sam Sampson and Ed Walsh for their very quick first response. Without your immediate action we know the end result would have been much worse. And we can’t say enough to thank you!

The combined efforts of many people during this time of need was extraordinary and we feel very blessed for all that you have done for us.

McInroy, Brooke Marlayne Sept. 5, 1994 - Feb. 14, 2011

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal.

But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache, That lies beneath our smiles.

No one knows how many times, We’ve broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

Remembering you is easy We do it everyday.

But missing you is heartache, That never goes away.

We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, But all we have are memories, And your picture in a frame.

These past two years have went by in a flash, But it still seems like yesterday.

Love and miss you always, Mom, Dad, Brett, Grandma, Grandpa, Misty & Tigger (and all your cows)
