Federal Liberal leadership candidate Justin Trudeau answers a question via iPad during his visit to Loyalist College on Thursday, February 14.

EMC News - Belleville Federal Liberal leadership candidate and perceived front-runner Justin Trudeau visited Loyalist College in Belleville on Thursday, February 14, and brought a message of changing Canadian politics for the better to an audience of Loyalist journalism students and interested members of the public.

“People are responding extremely positively to this campaign, to me, but mostly to the idea that politics can be done differently,” Trudeau said. “The idea that we can actually shape the world with our engagement through politics once again.”

In a roughly 20-minute address, Trudeau eschewed presenting a point-bypoint plan in favour of conveying a very particular message. While he did later answer questions on Quebec, education, poverty and his father, much of his speech focused on the political landscape Canadians face in modern times, and what he and the Liberal party hope to accomplish in terms of re-engaging Canadians in the political process, who he says have grown tired of the politics of division.

EMC News - Belleville Batteries get a lot of use around the household, from remote controls to smoke alarms, but once they’re used up all too often they are not disposed of properly. That’s why Quinte Waste Solutions is running a special one-time-only curbside collection of used or unwanted batteries in Belleville this

March, to gauge if a longterm program could find traction in the area.

“The capture rate for this particular material is very low compared to the actual amount that’s out there,” said operations supervisor for hazardous and electronic waste Tanya Delaney.

Beginning the week of March 4, clear battery-recycling bags with orange

markings will be mailed to roughly 20,000 homes in the Belleville and Thurlow area in preparation of a pilot battery recycling week running from March 18 to March 22, 2013. The week also coincides with daylight savings time, and not by accident— Delaney said that as people are generally asked to change the batteries in their smoke alarms when changing their

1

clocks, this creates a perfect opportunity to tie the two together to create awareness about the program.

“There’s a real need for those to be diverted from landfill, and/or to be brought out of the homes, because a lot of people just keep it in a box, or a drawer, or a bag, and just don’t know what to do with them,” Delaney said.

2

While the pilot program will have a soft goal of collecting 9,000 pounds of batteries for their first try, Delaney said the main purpose of the pilot is to actually collect information on the resources needed, the expense and the overall logistics of such a program.

Torch for Life hopes to encourage organ transplants

By Kate Everson

EMC News - Quinte West Khaled Khatib stopped at city hall on February 16, greeted by Mayor John Williams, MPP Rob Milligan and his two daughters Linda and Samantha. They all held up the torch together.

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

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

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

Anthony is 28 years old.

He was born with a rare disease called Fabry’s. This disease attacks the heart and kidneys.

He currently has an enlarged heart and two completely destroyed kidneys.

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

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

Ready for prinergy

Justin Trudeau seeks new deal for democracy also a strong presence of longtime Liberal supporters, including former MP and agriculture minister Lyle Vanclief and Mayor Neil Ellis.

Trudeau showcased his party’s new style of electing a leader, making a free ballot offer to anyone who wanted to sign up within the next two weeks and authorize them to vote directly for the candidate of their choice.

“This is our example of establishing trust and respect for Canadian voters,” he said.

He described the present government’s policies as “divisive and deceptive.”

Such policies, he admitted, may work for Prime Minister Harper, “but they don’t work for governing a country responsibly.

People are voting against candidates and policies, not for them. We’re better than that.”

He conceded a solid growth in Canada’s economy over the past several

years, but noted that the median family income in the same period has risen by only 13 per cent—falling behind inflation “This present generation now suspects that the next generation will not have the same quality of life.

A prosperous middle class needs to be part of our success.”

He said his message of open and participatory government has drawn “amazing” support across Canada, including rural Alberta.

Asked about Quebec under its new Parti Quebecois leadership, Trudeau affirmed the vital importance of Quebec to the Liberal party and to Canada and noted the present provincial government holds only small minority strength.

“Nobody in Quebec is talking about an independent state,” he proclaimed.

“The issues there are jobs, health care and education.”

Questioned about increasing poverty, Trudeau said he sees a “moral imper-

feel that politics too often is a worthy use of our engagement, our time or our energies,” Trudeau said. “We’re not necessarily looking at politics as an actual vehicle for change.”

“We need to make sure that we are a strong voice that reaches out across this country, to build on the values, hopes and dreams that define us.”

Rather than blaming young people, students and disengaged Canadians, Trudeau said he blamed politicians for fostering cynicism in current Canadian politics, which in turn has driven people away from becoming engaged in the process.

Specifically, he noted dividing the country between east and west, rural and urban or English to French as a strategy he feels is unsustainable for the future.

“Politics of negativity and division work,” Trudeau said.

“They work to get elected, but what they don’t work for is actually governing the country with a sense of responsibility and long-term vision that actually allows us to meet the challenges of the future.”

This served as a launching point for Trudeau to explore what was to be a major theme of his speech, which was the struggles facing the middle class. Trudeau said while the Canadian economy has continuously grown over the past 30 years, medium family income has not kept pace.

“Canadians, for the first time are sensing a break-

down … in the very premise that shaped this country, the idea that you could come here from anywhere in the world, settle anywhere, work hard and succeed,” he said.

He added that creating a thriving, prosperous middle class is the best measure of measuring Canada’s economic success.

“The people who work hardest day in and day out to build this country’s success, need to be able to participate and be part of that success, but now it’s not happening.”

Trudeau also took the opportunity to champion the new format of the Liberal leadership race, where Canadians are able to vote online for the next Liberal leader.

He said it shows the Liberal party’s renewed commitment to representing all Ca-

nadians, rather than picking and choosing which areas of the country to represent.

“We need to make sure that we are a strong voice that reaches out across this country, to build on the values, hopes and dreams that define us,” Trudeau said.

In conclusion, Trudeau made one final appeal to potential voters.

“Canadians know that we have to expect better from our leaders and from our candidates, that we have to expect better from our neighbours and our communities,” he said. “But mostly … Canadians are eager to begin to accept better from ourselves.

That’s how we build a country worthy of our hopes and dreams; that’s how we shape the future that this country needs to create.”

ative that no one lives in a survival mode.” He blamed some despair on lack of a “path to success—a ladder out of poverty,” and said such a path must be found.

“But we must also have a strong enough economy to deal with that.”

He drew strong student support when asked about more federal support for education.

“In the future, 70 per cent of all jobs will require some post-secondary education. We now only have 50 per cent. We must set a target to get at least seven out of ten students into post-secondary and the federal government needs a bigger voice in education, but with respect for provincial rights.”

To continue with Canada’s tradition of universal health care, he summed it up as: “You don’t get poor for getting sick.” He opposes increasing privatization of various aspects of the health care system but agreed on the need for financial reality. “There are many opportunities to develop solutions for improved health care that our present federal government is not looking at.” He also endorsed more prevention measures like exercise and diet, and more resources for home care.

Asked about dire infrastructure needs for urban areas, Trudeau agreed on

the need and said Canada was never designed to be “four-fifths urban.” The government structure must be “tweaked” between municipal, provincial and federal levels to deal with the problems.

He flatly denied any likelihood of a merger between Liberal and New Democrat parties and denied any weakness in his policies as a leadership candidate.

“I’ve put forth as much policy as any other candidate,” he responded.

A poignant reminder of his famous father, longserving Pierre Trudeau came in the form of a framed photograph gift from a 1973 visit to Belleville. Belleville Police Constable Jeff Ling gave him a photo of Pierre Trudeau holding Justin as a young boy under one arm and being unable to respond to a salute from then RCMP Inspector Denis Ling, Jeff’s fa-

ther. Jeff said his father made the salute deliberately as a joke.

The would-be part leader noted he gets many reminders from the public about his father and mother, but this one, especially on Valentine’s Day, brought tears to his eyes.

EMC News - Belleville In a leadership campaign stopover at Loyalist College Thursday morning, Justin Trudeau, considered one of the leading candidates for leadership of the federal Liberal Party, focussed on his dream of a new form of participatory democracy.

At one point, in reply to a question, he hinted at a complete reorganization of government between federal, provincial and municipal levels to form improved co-operation, better resources to deal with major problems and, most important, more meaningful input and participation by all Canadians from coast to coast.

With a youthful student-majority and capacity audience in the student auditorium, his message of cynicism and lack of voter interest in federal politics, the direct result of policies by the present Conservative government, fell on fruitful ears. But there was

Legal advocates support action on affordable housing ernments have to provide housing to everyone.

Instead, the intention of the bill is that the federal government take a leadership role in ensuring adequate housing. The bill, introduced by NDP MP Marie-Claude Morin, calls on them to work with all levels of government, nonprofits, the private sector and key stakeholders. The goal is to adopt a comprehensive strategy to address the causes of homelessness and to ensure that, within a reasonable time, no one will be denied access to adequate housing in Canada.

Drs Sue and John Marinovich and staff have been serving the dental community of Quinte since 1994.

“As Canadians, we have core values,” says McCabe.

“The right to housing for all is central to our dignity, security and equality.

It goes far beyond partisan politics.”

CALC and other advocates of Bill C-400 also believe that ensuring Canadians have affordable and healthy places to live makes sense for the economy. They point to the high cost of having people living on streets or in emergency shelters.

“Reliable estimates say 400,000 Canadians are homeless and another 1.5 million lack access to secure housing,” says McCabe.

“Apart from being morally responsible, developing a national affordable housing strategy and encouraging investment in affordable housing is a smart economic decision. The federal government has estimated that every dollar invested in housing reaps a benefit of $1.40 to the Canadian economy.”

CALC is encouraging people to contact their federal members of parliament to ask them to support Bill C-400.

lot of that back on our residents; we want to find the best way and the most efficient and economical way to do it,” she said.

The 9,000-pound target comes from a similar program in Durham where 66,000 pounds of batteries were collected from approximately 194,000 homes, and bringing that ratio down to the amount of homes targeted in the Belleville area gave a soft target to aim for.

“If we exceed that it’s great, but if we don’t we need to figure out how we can bring that number up and sort of move forward from there,” Delaney said.

Long-term, Quinte Waste Solutions would like to hold the program twice a year if possible, beginning in 2014.

For the pilot program, only single-use alkaline batteries will be accepted, from AAA to nine-volt. Rechargeable batteries may also be accepted in the future should the program go ahead.

For the pilot, Quinte Waste Solutions has partnered with Raw Materials Company, Ontario’s only

second reading. That is scheduled for February 27, 2013.

“The bill was supported at first reading by all opposition parties,” says Dan McCabe, a lawyer with CALC. “But the bill will likely need the support of at least 13 Conservative MPs to move past second reading. We want to encourage our local MPs, Daryl Kramp, Rick Norlock and Scott Reid, to support the bill.”

Those in favour of Bill C-400, say that recognizing housing as a human right does not mean gov-

Where everyone is Welcome

EMC News - Belleville Local legal advocates are looking for support from area politicians on a federal private member’s bill dealing with affordable housing.

If passed, Bill C-400 would require the federal government to develop a national affordable housing strategy in consultation with the provinces and other stakeholders.

The Community Advocacy & Legal Centre, based in Belleville, would like to see the bill supported by local members of parliament when it receives

approved battery processor for single-use alkaline batteries under the Stewardship Ontario program.

Raw Materials Company recycles between 86 per cent and 92 per cent of each battery collected depending on the type, and the recovered materials—like steel, manganese, zinc and potassium—are put back into the marketplace reducing the carbon footprint associated with mining these materials from ore.

“Curbside collection is the most convenient method for residents to recycle their batteries. It maximizes the participation and collection rates and greatly reduces the amount of batteries entering our landfills,” said Cory Graper of Raw Materials Company in a release.

In 2010, Canadian residents discarded 745 million batteries with their household trash. Less than five per cent were properly recycled.

Quinte Waste Solutions is the operating name of the Centre & South Hastings Waste Services Board, and provides curbside recycling, commercial recycling, household hazardous waste collection and waste electronics collection for nine municipal partners, including Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County, Marmora & Lake, Madoc Township, Centre Hastings, Stirling-Rawdon, Tweed and Tyendinaga Township.

In 2012, Quinte Waste Solutions collected 3.7 metric tons of spent alkaline batteries through the Household Hazardous & Electronic Waste program.

A total of 231 entries were received and judged by local members “and I know there are repeat winners,” said Jones, congratulating all participants for their efforts, “but to me, you’re all winners.”

Award recipients included Primary Colour Poster entrants Lily McEwen - 1st, Jessica Striker - 2nd and

Morin, who is among the competition judges, also spoke briefly during the presentations and congratulated students for their efforts

while Principal Steve Toffelmire thanked both visitors and students for their participation and support.

First-place winners at the branch level go on to participate in the Zone competition where the winning submissions from nine different Legions are judged. Wiarda received his first-place finish at the zone level before competing at the District level which, says Jones, “is quite an accomplishment.”

Students from Stirling’s Junior and Primary Schools were recognized in January with similar presentations while ceremonies for students at Stirling Senior are being scheduled, Jones says.

Letters to the editor

What kind of government denies affordable access to power?

Dear Premier Wynne, The need to repair the damage caused to our beloved province in the last nine years has led me to offer you a piece of advice in one area. More of a cry for mercy, actually.

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

What kind of government

denies its citizens affordable access to the power they need to do business, turn on the lights and stay warm?

By their foolish pursuit of landscape-polluting windmill and solar farms, the McGuinty Liberals became a serious threat to the interests of all the citizens of Ontario.

They raised government folly to new heights. Their evil Green Energy Act needs to be repealed asap. As you travel the province in your second role, and if you listen, you will hear this.

Not one single windmill or

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

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

ones. They have had to build new coal and/or gas powered generating stations to compensate for the unreliability of their “green” power systems.

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

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

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

The claim that global warming/climate change is

being caused in any measurable and/or controllable way by human activity is bogus.

Pollution is a contemporary problem, air, water and land pollution. But, these problems are local, not global, and they are curable by currently available and affordable technologies. These technologies are truly deserving of public spending.

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

Yours truly, Charles W. Conn, Hastings

Dear Editor, It’s hard to believe that this earth’s promise of spring, summer, fall and winter can be affected by keeping our parked cars cozy and letting the engine run, cool in summer, warm in winter; it’s our right, right? Just as it’s our right to burn as much gas as

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

But have we really paid for it? Or will the true cost be left to our children and our children’s children?

Truth is, because of climate change, our earth’s predict-

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

in the USA, and other poorer and more desperate countries.

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

Here in Ontario, last year’s warm weather in February and March severely affected fruit trees that blossomed way too early and later froze eliminating 80 per cent of the apple crop.

The hot dry summer ruined gardens, dried up water tables for folks on wells and affected hay crops. Now hay is scarce and expensive and some folks around here are selling off livestock and euthanizing horses. It’s clear that climate change does and will affect the world’s food supply. How do you put a value on the rain? We pay for our gas today, but what cost will we pay to replace our earth’s ever-renewing gifts tomorrow?

We adjust, as humans do.

But let’s adjust by taking what responsibility we can for the greenhouse gasses we are emitting today.

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

ciency. Where do we start to change that? Let’s support Penny Vance’s recent proposal to bring in an anti-idling bylaw to the Municipality of Tweed. We can reduce emissions that are really unnecessary, and we can become conscious from there about what else we can do to reduce the amount of fossil fuels we burn by whatever means are available. It is do-able; lots of communities everywhere are doing it. The first campaigns to get folks to wear seat belts or to stop smoking indoors seemed outrageous to some but have benefitted everyone. Conservation can become our daily practice.

It’s one way to make a statement that our environment is essential. And then we can go on from there!

Dear Editor, Recently, I inquired twice of Hydro One as to the status of the debt retirement charge.

Hydro One chose not to reply.

I obtained through our MPP some info on the DRC which will continue possibly until 2015-2018!

No status report received.

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

When we nice Canadians revolt, Harper’s new prisons may be home to politicians with no credibility and CEOs with no business ethics.

The Decline of the West?

EMC Editorial You know the story-line by now.

There are one million US-dollar millionaires in China. (“To get rich is glorious,” said former leader Deng Xiaoping.) Seventy per cent of the homes in China are bought Gwynne Dyer for cash. China’s total trade—the sum of imports and exports—is now bigger than that of the United States. “They’re going to eat our lunch,” whimper the faint-hearted in the West.

It’s not just the Chinese who are coming.

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

As recently as 2009, the “Brics” (Brazil, Russia, India and China) accounted for less than one-tenth of total global consumption.

The European Union consumed twice as much, and so did the United States. But by 2020, the Brics will be producing and consuming just as much as either of the older economic zones, and by 2025 considerably more than either of them.

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

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

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

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

as well as Americans.

Second, the new centre of gravity this time, while mostly located in Asia, is not a single country with a coherent foreign policy like the United States. The four Brics will never become a strategic or economic bloc.

They are more likely to split into rival blocs, although one hopes not. And the Mexicos and Turkeys and Indonesias of this new world will have their own fish to fry.

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

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

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

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

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

True, economists in the West often ask the question: “what will we sell the emerging countries in the future that they cannot produce for themselves?” In the runaway global warming scenario, the answer would be “food,” but the real answer is sure to be more complex than that. Never mind.

They’ll think of something, because they’ll have to.

Letter to the editor

Wyley defends “councillors”

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

Consider, for example, the plight of the Asphodel-Norwood residents fighting wind turbine projects. Council, responding to local residents’ concerns, declared a moratorium on local construction of turbines only to find that this right had been lifted from them.

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

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

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

The same thing is happening to the usurpation of local policing authority by the infamous Wizard of Oz. Who is he?

Where is he? Where does he pay his taxes? Does he carry a gun? Was he empowered by a chic new mafia called the Ministry of Council be Damned?

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

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

The point of all this is that we, the humble electorate, have a duty to “take back the right.” That’s not the “right” as in George Bush, but rather the right to have a productive voice in government. The new breed of bureaucrat is dangerous.

The huge salaries and benefits they have wrested from compliant politicians has made them greedy, selfish, and lustful for more power. Be vigilant in your selection of councillors and MPPs and MPs. Will they stand up for you? Find out and vote accordingly!

Wyley Canuck, aka Ken Leavens, Stirling

The home of the brave?

By Terry Bush

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

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

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

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

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

We go into countries, usually ones that don’t have an air force or any air defence systems and simply bomb the hell out of them.

We’ve done it in Iraq, Afghanistan and more recently Libya and Mali. But in the off chance that someone might actually manage to strike an aircraft, we’ve solved that problem by eliminating some of the pilots as well. It won’t be long before everything is done by machines and the only people dying will be those poor folks unfortunate enough to live in a non-NATO country.

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

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

This isn’t going over well with rank and file members of the military who still risk their lives on a battlefield.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Much the same as the U.S. would welcome 350 drone strikes

by Pakistan on Washington, DC, I’m sure. Maybe the Pakistanis should get a medal for telling it like it is, even though nobody seems to be listening.

CBC delivers the truth.

Harper wants it stopped.

Do you have a comment about something you have read in our paper? Write the editor. tbush@theemc.ca

A BIG THANK YOU to Smitty’s Appliances

Dear Editor: In years gone by Stuart McLean has delivered his inimitable storytelling via the Vinyl Café on the stages of Stirling’s Festival Theatre and the Empire Theatre in Belleville. It is a very entertaining show recorded live for CBC Radio, giving Canadians across the country a few laughs at the locals’ expense, plus introducing some great Canadian musical talent.

But too much of a good thing can become a bad thing. Unfortunately, here in 2013 I often find myself switching from CBC Radio 2 (103.9 FM) back to CBC Radio One (98.7 FM), or vice versa, at the sound of Stuart’s voice.

His weekly show used to be a welcome guest joining us for a slow Sunday morning breakfast. Now his unique cadence seems to be there for breakfast, lunch and dinner most days of the week and then yet again if you happen to be driving home in the wee hours. For long-time CBC Radio listeners this is just one more sign of ongoing degrading moves which CBC staff have had to endure. Why? Well, despite the Harper Tories promise during the last election that they would not cut CBC’s bud-

get they broke their promise in last March’s Federal Budget and slashed CBC’s funding by 16 per cent.

Once again Harper & Co. simply lied to us to get some votes. With no alternative way to deal with this reduced budget 800 of CBC’s dedicated staff were laid off. Of these numbers fully 650 were creative staff who brought us news, intellectual views and Canadian music which we can get nowhere else. CBC’s International news bureaus are being shut down while recording studios and transmitters are being shuttered across Canada. Many shows have been cancelled including flagships such as Dispatches with host Rick MacInnes-Rae and Connect with Marc Kelly which kept Canadians informed about world events. When the broadcast hours needed to be filled, repeating programs like Stuart McLean’s was about the only answer program managers had available. None of this is ever talked about in the taxpayer-funded “Action Plan” propaganda Conservatives bombard us with on a daily basis.

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

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

Perhaps arch-Conservative, the late Dalton Camp said it best: “Owning one national communications facility, such as the CBC, which owes nothing to Mitsubishi or General Dynamics or Krupp, is surely worth keeping. What we know about the CBC, in a world in which economics is power and so much power is out of our hands, is that the CBC would never willfully betray our national interest or sell off our Canadian heritage.

And we are its shareholders. When you hear people talk about reducing the role of the CBC, or selling off its assets, look closely at who is talking – it won’t be a voice speaking for the people of Canada, but for shareholders of another kind of corporation.”

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

Sincerely, Alan Coxwell, Stirling

Genealogy is not just another hard word to spell

By Kate Everson

EMC Lifestyles - Trenton Members of the Quinte Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society learned

all about new ways to access their Family Tree at a meeting held at city hall council chambers on February 16. Rick Roberts, of Global

Choinard headed to provincials scribed as an outstanding accomplishment by her coach Lesley McGuire.

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

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

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

“I am very proud of myself and all that I have accomplished this season,” says Choinard.

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

Roberts said people can find out more at his web site <globalgenealogy.com> or contact him through the local branch.

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

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

Proud of her recent accomplishments, Choinard competed at the Eastern Ontario Starskate Invitational Championships (EOSIC) held February 15-17 in Whitby, Ontario, achieving a personal best score and earning a bronze medal in the Ladies Juvenile Under 11 category.

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

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

From a very young age Choinard demonstrated natural skating ability and coupled that with a passion for the sport, enabling her to surpass her goals this season.

During the 2011-2012 skating season she competed at the Pre-Preliminary and Preliminary level. In 2012-2013, she moved into the competitive ranks and competed at the Pre-Juvenile then Juvenile level.

Skipping through four levels in two years paid off because in her first Juvenile event at the EOSIC, she earned the bronze medal, de-

Genealogy in Milton, was guest speaker at the monthly meeting.

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

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

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

Lady’s Day lets you leave the guilt behind

fine fashion and flowers.

“It’s all about leaving the guilt behind,” said keynote speaker Sheila Wray Gregoire, “and focus on what’s really important.”

There were plenty of ways to indulge, guiltfree, as the auditorium and foyer were filled with

Christian School on February 16, and guests were treated to Butterfly food,

over 30 eager vendors offering brighter smiles, soft fragrances, sweet ideas and epicurean delights.

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

bath salts and some offthe-hook designs.

Mini-manicures, makeup, waxing and scalp massages were all available from local businesses.

Sheila from Rose Hips demonstrated how to arrange cut flowers. There was fashion talk from

Brandy at Off the Hook.

Lunch was delightfully catered by Blue Butterfly.

“It’s all about the fondue,” said Jenny Albertson from Velata of Frankford, dipping her dessert in melt-in-your-mouth chocolate.

Leave the guilt behind!

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

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

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

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

certification, Andrea’s services are covered by most insurance providers. (Currently, Andrea is also working towards her certification in homeopathy.

Talk about lifelong learning!)

Her services range from massage to CranioSacral

In person, the same care is taken

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

Andrea planned her business carefully, and part of that planning included a visit to Trenval Business Development Corporation to apply for Canadian Youth Business Foundation financing.

“Trenval, and Amber Darling in particular, were great.

They had a lot of information and gave me many different options to choose from. Were it not for Trenval, I would likely be working for someone else right now, instead of being my own boss. Trenval and CYBF gave me the opportunity to start my own business, and I will forever be grateful for that”, says Andrea without hesitation.

Setting a foundation for later development

By Steve Jessel

In an effort to provide children age birth to six

with the best possible head start on life, the Accessing

and Building Connections (ABC) Childhood Screening

R0011928814

EMC News - Belleville

and Information Fair is once again coming to Belleville on Saturday, February 23.

“The goal is to provide an opportunity for families who have children birth to six to access community service professionals who can help them kind of identify if there are any concerns,” said Donna Kaye, early literacy specialist for the Family Space/Ontario Early Years Centre. “To try an early intervention if needed for kids that are at risk of having struggles once they get into school.”

The free childhood and information fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Family Space/Ontario Early Years Centre, 301 MacDonald Avenue in Belleville, and will feature the services of roughly 12 to 14 healthcare professionals in a number of different fields, including speech, hearing, sight and overall development.

“We’re just trying to help people feel comfortable in talking to the professionals, getting some of the basic screenings out of the way so that if they do need referrals for further assessment there’s still time to do that before school gets started in September,” Kaye said.

The fairs are collaborative efforts of communities, with professionals in attendance offering their services inkind. Promotional funding for the events is provided by the Hastings-Prince Edward Children and Youth Servic-

es Network, which is comprised of agencies serving children, youth and families across the two counties.

“We’re really hoping that those people that have been kind of sitting on the fence, not sure if they should have a concern. Maybe somebody has said ‘You should get this looked at, [or] you should get this checked or you should talk to a professional’ we’re really hoping those people will come in,” Kaye said. “A lot of people, they’re not sure what the process is, so they’re not sure who they should talk to, so that’s another thing, is that all of us who attend the fair as community professionals all know how to link up people to other agencies who can support them, so if we can’t provide the service, we know how to make those linkages that are so necessary.”

The fair is open to all children from birth to six, and Kaye said the fair focuses on that age range for a very specific reason.

“The early years really are the foundation for later development. It’s when we’re laying the skills that are going to help children be successful later on,” Kaye said. “We don’t want people to have that ‘wait and see’ attitude anymore, we really are trying to shift the thinking around earlier identification of kids who might be at risk.”

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

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

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

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

Habitat enhancement programs are also funded.

Shoreline naturalization is funded up to 50 per cent up to $7,500 to create a more natural shoreline such as removing a retaining wall or other man-made structure.

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

gibility.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“We are here to increase awareness of our programs and services,” said Karen Fischer with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

She was with one of several booths at the show with displays of interest to farmers. Brittany Barkes from the Trenton/Brighton office shared the space.

Jim Hair of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture said his farm lobby group represents 37,000 members including Hastings, Prince Edward, Lennox & Addington and Northumberland Counties.

“High grain prices are an issue this year,” he said.

“With the drought and hay shortage, hay is expensive for hog and beef farmers. Feed prices are up.”

He added, “Generally, there is a fair amount of prosperity.”

Tamara Tucker, environmental technician working out of the Lower Trent Conservation office, had a booth for the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan (RAP). She said funding is available to enhance property.

“New for 2013, we are covering a larger area,” she said.

“A lot of people are interested in these programs. We just started two weeks ago and

Rewarding students for innovative ideas EMC News - Campbellford - Students interested in the air they breathe, the water they drink and the land they live on will be keen on entering the 2013 Caring for our Watersheds contest.

Geared for Grade 8 to 9 students, individuals interested in the environment can submit their ideas to the Caring for our Watersheds program for a chance to win $1,000 for themselves and $1,000 for their school. Plus, an additional $10,000 in funding is also available to help implement the contest ideas.

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

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

“The creativity this contest affords students is beneficial for our environment and the communities we serve,” says Anne Anderson, LTC Special Projects

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

The entry deadline for students living in the Lower Trent watershed region and attending school in the Campbellford - Brighton area is March 25, 2013.

The top six finalists will be judged by the community and the winners will be announced April 25, 2013.

Several years ago, Lower Trent Conservation was approached by former Campbellford resident and Agrium CEO Mike Wilson to co-ordinate an Ontario version of the competition. After launching the program in Campbellford in 2011, Brighton schools were approached to participate in 2012 with the support of an Agrium Advanced Technologies office located in Brighton. Wilson has personally donated the prize money for the competition.

Close competition for Junior Iron Chefs

By Steve Jessel

EMC News - Belleville The 12th annual Junior Iron Chef Competition has come to a close, and in a neck-and-neck race between the two competing schools St. Peter’s Catholic Secondary School from Peterborough came out ahead of St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School of Belleville to claim first prize.

“I was honoured to be involved in the judging,” said Loyalist grad Chef Levi Richards, a judge at the competition and the Executive Chef at the Loyalist Golf and Country Club.

“The food was fantastic and very well done, especially considering these are

high school students. The plates they produced today were equal to the quality I’ve tasted in high-end restaurants. They really knew their menus and knew and respected their ingredients.

It was a close race, and both teams are winners in my mind.”

The final leg of the competition came in concert with the fifth annual Food and Beverage Show on February 16 at Loyalist College, where the two teams prepared separate three-course meals using a pre-approved list of ingredients, including using pork supplied by Ontario Pork Producers for the entree and a combination of butternut squash, crem-

ini mushrooms, eggplant and leeks for their appetizer. The competition was organized by second-year Loyalist College Culinary Management students, and project manager Geoff Kirkland said the competition provided an invaluable learning resource for participating students.

“When you’re at that age and you’re a high school student, it’s the closest you’ll ever get to the pressure cooker environment of working in a real high-intensity kitchen,” he said. “It really puts that pressure on the kids to step up and perform, it’s a great experience for them and it really builds that base of character that

you can only get from—I hate to say it—from feeling like you’ve been kicked around a little bit, from being under the gun, from being under pressure, from being forced to perform when you have everything on the line.”

Each year, Loyalist College puts out invitations to a number of high schools in the area to compete, however, the recent job action by Ontario secondary school teachers meant a reduced field this year.

Nonetheless, the competition was just as fierce, and for St. Theresa team member Ashley Lumley the experience was overall a positive one.

“It went really good; I thought it was amazing,” she said. “It was stressful, it was nerve wracking, but it was good. We didn’t lose it, we just talked it out.”

Judges made their final decision based on a variety of factors, and not just on the overall taste, texture and presentation of the food. The judges also carefully watched students to make sure they followed proper sanitation procedures and kitchen practices, which Kirkland said falls right into what they’re trying to teach the students.

“They really are judged on how they behave as a cook,” he said. “If they were a culinary student, or a cook

in restaurant they would be expected to behave the same way, so we’re trying to run it as much as any other culinary competition would ask you to behave.”

Alongside the Iron Chef Competition ran the Food and Beverage Show, where local businesses had the opportunity to showcase some of their products. Anita Ramski of Pelee Island Winery was one of those businesses and said supporting the college was just as important as promoting their business.

“I’ve always been a big supporter of the college,” Ramski said. “It’s a great industry, I really want to try and get people into it.”

some concrete suggestions, strategies and answer questions before the full assessment,” Kaye said.

“It really does make people feel like they’re going in the right direction, they’re not just sitting idle but they’re actually being proactive.”

The Belleville fair is the second of six fairs being held in the area. Similar fairs will take place on March 23 in Picton, May 21 in Deseronto, June 6 in Madoc, and in Tyendinaga on October 5, following the first fair held in Quinte West on January 26.

in the area for about the past five years, and Kaye said that they have seen a number of success stories stemming from the free screenings.

In Belleville last year, she estimated about 200 parents and children attended, and although it is marketed as a first-come first-serve basis, they were able to screen all the children who needed it.

“We also know that a lot of agencies have wait lists, so if somebody has already made a referral … coming to the fair will help alleviate some of that anxiety of waiting, because we can give

EMC Entertainment Havelock - Jamie Spurvey is returning to one of his favourite towns in Canada, the place where his climb to fame began.

The 23-year-old virtuoso accordion and guitar player with a refreshingly simple take on life and music who dazzled audiences twice at the Havelock Country Jam-

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

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

“Jamie mesmerized our audience from the time he took the stage till he tipped his hat at the end,” says Jennifer Goheen of the Havelock Country Jamboree where he performed in 2011 as part of his Idol prize package and again in 2012 when he gave a full show.

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

Spurvey has both a winning personality and deft talent for song-writing.

“He’s just who he is.

There’s no ‘show’ there,” says Goheen. “He’s true to who he is and he writes to what he’s experienced.

That’s what country music is all about.”

“When he starts to sing

you just take notice,” she added. “He doesn’t want the

flash, he wants to be who he is and I think that’s what

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

During his stint in the military he recorded a demo album of original country songs. The album struck a chord with listeners which reaffirmed Spurvey’s desire to pursue music as a career.

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

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

The Bulls, fresh off a slim 1 - 0 road win over the Mississauga Steelheads the night before (February 15), entered the game against the Wolves just a point back of the Eastern Conference-leading Barrie Colts, but it was the Wolves who drew first blood.

A weak slapshot from the left faceoff circle managed to sneak its way past M. Subban midway through the period, proving an ominous sign of things to come for one of the OHL’s top goalies.

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

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

“I thought we were a little dopey in the first period; we got caught standing around a little bit,” Burnett said.

“They’re hungry. Sudbury has been a very good team since Christmas, or just before it.”

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

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

Sudbury. That’s when an undisciplined Bulls penalty allowed Sudbury their second powerplay of the game, and with a Mathew Campagna slapshot from the point the Wolves took a 3 - 1 lead. This didn’t seem to dissuade the Bulls all that much as they continued their furious assault on the Sudbury net, but they just couldn’t force one home despite dominating in possession and shots on goal.

Of course, that’s when the Wolves decided to take their biggest lead of the night, and with a pretty piece of passing took a sizable 4 - 1 lead midway through the second period, forcing Burnett to pull M. Subban in favour of backup Charlie Graham.

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

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

to take a timeout.

It didn’t make much difference.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gaunce put home an empty net goal to seal the win.

Horses help people become stronger emotionally nofrills.ca

By Kate Everson

EMC News - Frankford A new program is about to start up this spring which will help people with mental or emotional health issues learn how to be stronger.

The secret is in the horse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Equine Assisted Learning helps clients learn about themselves,â&#x20AC;? says Lisa Young, who is starting the group with support fromTrent Community Corrections where she works as executive director.

Lisa has taken several courses and is excited about bringing the program to this area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard about it two years ago and fell in love with it,â&#x20AC;? she says from her Hearns Road home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is all about interaction with a horse.â&#x20AC;?

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

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Participants learn about themselves and others by taking part in activities with horses and then processing thoughts, beliefs, behaviours and patterns,â&#x20AC;? she explains.

Unlike therapeutic riding, the sessions are all done from the ground. There is already a QUINTRA group operating out of Stirling which involves riding for therapy and this is not a duplicate of that program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always loved horses,â&#x20AC;? Lisa adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to do this.â&#x20AC;? She bought a horse two years ago and rides her 20-year-old paint quarterhorse, Casey, from a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm as often as she can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my escape,â&#x20AC;? she says with a smile.

She has contacted the Rescue Horse program in Ottawa and will have 15-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maeâ&#x20AC;? as the first horse in this program.

She has also found a home for the horse rent-free for Please see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Horsesâ&#x20AC;? on page 2

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

“This is super exciting,” Lisa says.

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

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

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

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

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

More information is

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

“Our goal is to have all fencing repairs completed and move the horses onto the farm in April so we can begin programming shortly after,” Lisa says.

“However, this means we will need some hay to get us through.”

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

“Developing a relationship with a horse naturally affects you in a positive manner.”

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

“Horses are honest, making them especially powerful messengers,” Lisa says.

“They tune into subtleties

we humans cannot see.

Horses mirror human body language. The horse instinctively knows you better than you know yourself.

If you change, the horse responds differently.”

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

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

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

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

“They love it,” Lisa says.

“A lot of seniors grew up on farms. We are hoping to start a group like that here as well.”

TRAVEL

International Polar Bear Day is coming soon

By John M. Smith

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

As a result of that trip, I became a member of “Polar Bears International” <www. polarbearsinternational.org>, an organization dedicated to helping the polar bear by preserving their sea ice home.

This conservation group makes a plea: “Reduce your carbon footprint and help wild polar bears!” This can be achieved through the collective impact of our efforts to slow down global warming, and this organization undertakes a number of initiatives and programs to try to do just that, including educational and field programs.

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

a day we can get involved by participating in the “Thermostat Challenge” by simply lowering our thermostats slightly for that day, thus lowering carbon emissions. If we want to make even more of a difference, we can actually positively contribute every day by simply using a programmable thermostat in our home, changing our air filters regularly, and by upgrading our insulation. These simple measures, if done by enough of us, would certainly be of benefit to our environment and they could also help save us some money on our energy bills.

International Polar Bear Day is part of the organization’s “Save Our Sea Ice” (SOSI) campaign, and its “Project Polar Bear” is a yearly bi-national contest (Canada and the U.S.A.) that tries to get schools, zoos, museums, aquariums, science centres, etc. to form teams that develop community projects that reduce the carbon dioxide load in the atmosphere.

According to Polar Bears International, in the past four years “the contest participants

Awaiting freeze-up near Churchill, Manitoba.

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

Polar bears simply need the ice to survive, for they use a platform of ice to reach their main food source: ring seals.

These seals will use their sharp claws on their foreflippers to make several breathing holes, “aglus,” in the frozen ice, but when they later surface to breathe, the polar bear will be patiently awaiting their prey! Polar bears will also stalk seals found basking on the ice itself. When the ice

disappears, polar bears seldom successfully get seals in the open water. Therefore, polar bears’ lives are, traditionally, cycles of feasting and fasting.

When the ice is late forming and early thawing (which is the present trend), it cuts down on the feeding season and can ultimately lead to catastrophe for the polar bear population. Times are tough and food sources are greatly diminished when the polar bear is trapped on the land, awaiting freeze-up.

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

reside right here in Canada.

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

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

There was something very special, even euphoric, about that first polar bear sighting in the wild, and that special moment was soon followed by

many subsequent sightings, too. Each bear seemed to have its own personality—and was fascinating—and I never tired of these encounters! I watched large males “sparring” (play fighting), and I saw bears burrowing in the kelp and small accumulation of snow to make a bed for a rest break.

I also watched bears sauntering along the shoreline and on small patches of frozen ice, and I learned that they placed their back paws in the exact spots where their front paws had been. I also learned that these mammoth creatures distribute their weight in such a way that they can walk on ice that’s even too thin for humans! I also had the good fortune to see one curious polar bear approach our tundra buggy and check it out by standing on its back legs and stretching up to a height of about ten feet, with its front paws actually on our vehicle!

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

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

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

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

Local gourmet chef to appear on Steven and Chris

A local gourmet chef, Tina Moorey, will be doing a live cooking segment on CBC’s show Steven and Chris on February 28. Her specialty gourmet shop in Warkworth, On the Side, opened two years ago.

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

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

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

Moorey has been cooking since she was very young.

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

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

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

That’s when her love of doing something different with food began to percolate.

Coming to Canada in the mid 1970s she took a different career path for a while, opening a beauty salon with a partner who had property in the Warkworth area.

She was a skin and body

“My father loved to cook.”

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

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

Wind turbines forced couple to move EMC News - Norwood Calling the situation â&#x20AC;&#x153;shamefulâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;unconscionable,â&#x20AC;?

Barb Ashbee warned a packed Norwood Town Hall about the illnesses she and her husband experienced when they lived near industrial wind turbines. Admittedly not opposed to wind turbines when proposals near her Shelburne home were first discussed, Ashbee, now living in Mono, is more than happy to talk to audiences about her and her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal sevenmonth-long ordeal living near turbines.

She remains a harsh critic of the provincial government and its reluctance to heed â&#x20AC;&#x153;peer reviewed research from medical professionals being conducted all over the worldâ&#x20AC;? and to call a moratorium on developments until proper health studies have been completed and those living near turbines are helped out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is unconscionable that any company or government would continue to recklessly put more families in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way,â&#x20AC;? Ashbee told an audience increasingly concerned about a proposed three-turbine, 5 MW project west of Hastings in Asphodel-Norwood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do not allow anyone to place your residents in this vulnerable position. Once done, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to back up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While not every home may be affected, far too many

are,â&#x20AC;? she says The turbines emit a loud cyclical noise and low frequency vibrations and those noises change frequently depending on wind speed, wind direction and weather, said Ashbee.

Before the turbines, she says she and her husband were healthy and had no preexisting medical conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were not anti-turbine.

We had not heard anything about adverse effects they were having in other areas.â&#x20AC;?

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

Her husband was even diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, a condition that disappeared once the family had moved away.

All other symptoms vanished without need of medication after they relocated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We suffered from sleep deprivation due to a combination of loud noise from the turbines outside our house that we could clearly hear inside and a vibration which we could feel and hear in the house. The intensity could vary daily.â&#x20AC;?

Even pets suffered, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One horrible weekend when the vibration was very

high my cat was found downstairs hiding behind some furniture, there was vomit all over the room. As the vibration reduced in intensity her vomiting quit. I know it was the vibration that was causing it because we were sick too.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;health events are not a coincidence,â&#x20AC;? she argues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They match the stories heard from other families.

The degree may vary and the array of turbines around a house may vary but the symptoms match.â&#x20AC;?

She resents the notion that people make themselves sick simply by worrying about turbines or because they have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;attitude.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you hear about the

families with children that are sick or have animals affected how can you suggest that they feel angry because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a turbine on their property or theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not making any money?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are self-sufficient adults with children whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to move in with other family members; some are renting another place to live, paying second rent and utilities while their own home remains empty waiting for help.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;People affected have been stuck for six years in a cyclone of no resolution and no responsibility has been taken by any government or agency, she charged.
