EMC News - Hastings - Cheers and high fives from students of Hastings Public School welcomed the Pedal for Hope team from Peterborough as they brought their fight against cancer to town.

This is the ninth year that officers from the Peterborough-Lake-

field Police Service, the OPP and the RCMP have joined the Canadian Cancer Society to organize Pedal for Hope.

Not only are they raising money to fight this killer disease by supporting pediatric cancer research, the cyclists also brought another message, an important

one, “Pedal for Hope says No to Bullying.”

That was the mantra at all of their presentations at the 48 schools they visited since the campaign began April 19.

“We change our skit every year and are doing a bullying presentation this year which fits the

nature of what is going on across the country right now,” said Staff Sergeant Marc Habgood.

“The skit is going over well with the kids and going over very well with the teachers … who are taking part in that stuff every day at school,” he added.

“We keep saying to kids we’re

not here targeting just kids as bullies because it is a harassment issue right across the country for adults as well … and it is going over well,” he told Trent Hills Regional News.

Homecoming for the Leahy family marks celebration

By Sue Dickens

EMC Entertainment Norwood - Music and tradition were in tune with history and a sense of homecoming as the Leahy clan performed at a celebration to mark the 100th anniversary of the 40th Northumberland Regiment Chapter Norwood IODE. It was a sold-out performance with 1,000 ticket holders arriving for the show, filling the community centre (arena) in Norwood, eager to listen to the sounds of the fifth-generation Lakefield natives whose band goes back two generations.

“This is basically a place where dad started playing music so it is a big thrill to

have the opportunity to be playing here knowing the history behind his musical upbringing and where it started for him,” said Frank Leahy Jr. “Canada is built on small communities like this and this is a strong community and very vibrant,” he added.

“It was a most memorable 100th anniversary celebration,” said Rose Millett, communications officer with the Norwood IODE. Doug Pearcy, mayor of the township of AsphodelNorwood was emcee for the evening. He spoke to the crowd about the IODE and what they have done for the community.

“The concert was abso-

lutely fabulous,” agreed Lisa Cossar, the organization’s president. “Leahy performed a fabulous show and each one said how great it was to perform in Norwood. ‘It is just like coming home,’ they said.”

There were several standing ovations, especially for the children on stage.

“The Leahys like to let their children perform when they can and this being so close to home for most of them, there were lots of kids! They all play and dance, so, so cute, as well as being very talented,” Cossar told Trent Hills Regional News.

Frank Sr. and his wife Julie (the parents who started the

group), also performed, receiving a standing ovation as well.

They talked about Colum Quigley (who played the accordion), someone who Frank Sr. used to jam with when the children were small and they loved coming to Norwood.

Donnell Leahy told most of the stories between songs and

talked about life growing up in a house of 11 children and only two fiddles and one piano. They always had to wait for a turn to practice.

“Leahy performed a fabulous show and each one said how great it was to perform in Norwood.”

“The grandchildren stole the show with step dancing, piano duets [two children each on two keyboards!], fiddle playing, and two on accordions,” said Cossar.

“Even Mom and Dad Leahy performed.”

The three oldest sisters, Denise, Chrissie, and Julie performed two songs and they have not performed together in a long time.

The Leahy family thrilled the audience in the grand finale with 17 performers fiddling.

An encore brought the house down as it celebrated the 100th anniversary of the IODE. “We are especially grateful to the Norwood Lions Club for partnering with us, in particular, John Stewart and Don Snider,” said Millett, thanking all the folks who helped make the show a success from the Leahy family for reAngus, Maria and Donnell Leahy perform on stage at the arena in Norwood, the night of the show, where the Leahy family was ducing their fee, to the businesses that treated to a standing ovation more than once.

Family celebrating 50 years in the grocery business tion equipment, changes in the layout to make shopping easier for customers, and the use of brighter colours.

“Every ten years we do a major facelift,” otherwise you become “dated,” Mr. Sharpe said.

He and his brothers grew up in the business, performing a number of chores, such as folding flyers and bagging oranges, after school. It was the family’s form of “daycare,” he fondly recalled.

A business that started out with just 5,100 square feet of retail space has grown nearly five times in size, to 25,000 square feet. There’s also a 33,000-square-foot warehouse that allows the Sharpes to buy directly from manufacturers in order to remain competitive as an independent grocer.

The food market employs

89 people—or “food experts,” as the family describes them— some of whom have worked there for 30 years. All 13 members of the third generation, the grandchildren, ranging in age from 16 to 31, have been involved in the business one way or another at some point.

“Whatever needs to be done,” said Mr. Sharpe, whose son, Mike, is the store’s marketing manager.

There will be live entertainment, games, draws, anniversary cake and a free dinner at the June 1 celebration, along with a machine that offers prizes of Sharpe’s Bucks for the purchase of groceries.

“We’re going to have a party ... a little excitement,” an enthused Mr. Sharpe said. “Not many businesses make it to 50 years, not many make it to third generation.”

Annual memberships cost $20 for an individual and $40 for a family. Each membership provides a discount of $1 per movie per patron.

Earlier this year, volunteers installed refurbished seats

EMC Entertainment - Campbellford - The Aron Theatre Co-operative will be celebrating its second anniversary with a Community Variety Show on Saturday, May 25, at 8 p.m. and its annual general meeting on Sunday, May 26, at 2 p.m.

“Having just received the Chamber of Commerce Entrepreneurial Spirit Award at the end of April, we are gearing up to celebrate two successful years in business as a community-owned cooperative at the end of May,” said Russ Christianson, president of the co-op board of directors.

The Aron Theatre Co-op made the transition to digital technology last year and continues to build momentum with on-release Hollywood movies, a documentary film series, a return of the world-class musician Yiannis Kapoulas, and the always popular Community Variety Show, organized

by Ken Tizzard.

“We have an incredible talent pool of musicians and artists in our community, and for our May 25 show we are pleased to present over two dozen musical acts and a showcase of fine art,” says Tizzard.

With that kind of local talent, the $9 advance ticket price is a bargain, he says in a press release.

Tickets are on sale at the Aron, Grindhouse Café, Kerr’s Corner Books, the Stinking Rose Pub, Eclectic Mix (Warkworth) and the Bridgewater Café (Hastings).

On Sunday afternoon, the Aron will shift focus from entertainment to business at its third annual general meeting.

“Everyone is welcome to attend our AGM, and if you want to vote, you need to either be a member or buy a membership before the meeting,” says Christianson.

“We’ll have membership tables set up at 1:30 p.m. for people to check in or

Sharpe’s Food Market is celebrating its 50th anniversary and the three brothers who run the family business—Steve, Tom and John Sharpe—will be hosting a party June 1 to celebrate the milestone.

R0012087819

EMC News - CAMPBELLFORD May promises to be a busy month for Sharpe’s Food Market. The family owned business is celebrating 50 years in business with a series of charity barbeques and contests leading up a huge anniversary party at the Front Street grocery June 1, when the parking lot will be turned into a party zone.

“We’re really excited to be celebrating this milestone with our customers,” and want to thank them for the support they’ve shown over the years, said co-owner and general manager Steve Sharpe.

He and his brothers, Tom and John, took over operation of the food market after their father, Bruce, died in 1985. Bruce and Marian Sharpe moved their family from Toronto to build the store where the arena once stood.

The official opening took place May 8, 1963.

Since then the business has undergone several expansions and numerous renovations. The latest phase involved the installation of more energy efficient refrigera-

Students and staff “enjoy” head shaves and pony tail cuts

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - More than halfway into their 1,100-kilometre tour, the Pedal for Hope team wheeled into the gym at Campbellford District High School (CDHS) on the bicycles bringing a challenge to the students to help fight cancer.

One of those students is Blair Bastien. She had her pony tails cut off in support of the fund raiser.

“I think it’s important that the people who have cancer know that we are trying our best to prove to them that we care a lot about them and that we’re donating a part of ourselves to protect them and save their lives,” she told Trent Hills Regional News.

And there were others like her who stepped up to have their pony tails cut or in the case of the guys, their heads shaved.

“A few of my friends are having their heads shaved,” she added pointing to the students seated nearby while members of the cycling team did the deed.

The Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer events such as Pedal for Hope have raised more than $50.4 million for cancer research and support programs.

Staff Sergeant Marc Habgood is one of the cyclists and he introduced the team then talked about the importance of their tour.

The team is stopping at dozens of schools in the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPR) once again playing an important role in raising funds for pediatric cancer research.

As well the team brought an anti-bullying message, sporting T-shirts with the words “Pedal for Hope Say No to Bullying.”

Habgood talked about Vancouver-area teenager, 15-year-old Amanda Todd, who committed suicide after being bullied and Rehtaeh Par-

sons of Halifax, who also killed herself for the same reason.

“No one in this country should be losing kids to bullying,” said Habgood.

“We need to put an end to it … talk to somebody if you are bullied or if you see someone being bullied. Let’s be on that same team together and eliminate bullying.”

The students were shown a video put together by Pedal for Hope team member Detective Constable John Townsend who did one for each of the schools visited.

“Cancer changes everything unless we change cancer … The change depends on you,” were the words of a message at the end of the video.

Townsend has been the co-chair of the Cops For Cancer committee since 2002 and in 2004 created the Pedal For Hope cycling tour.

It was the same group of cyclists as last year with two new riders added: Jason Clarke from the Peterborough OPP and Alex Whitefield from the Kawartha Lakes OPP. Challenging the students at CDHS to beat Newcastle High School where they were headed three days later, he told the students “there are 600 students at that school and they are going to have 94 heads shaved and 17 pony tails cut.”

He spoke about the $1.7 million raised since Pedal for Hope started in 2005 hoping to inspire the high school students.

Students joined staff lining up for the cause including Dean Fetterly, a custodian at CDHS and Principal Jeff Stewart.

There was no tally at press time of the money raised, however, Habgood confirmed there were 23 students who participated in the Pedal for Hope event. To learn more about Pedal for Hope go to: <http://pedalforhope.ca/peterborough/>.

Shaving their heads for the Pedal for Hope fund-raising tour which visited CDHS are: from left, student Peter Wowk; custodian Dean Fetterly; and student Tyler Brough. Shaving was done by Pedal for Hope members, from left, Jazmin Habgood, Constable Keith Calderwood of the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service; and Peterborough Lakefield police Constable Alicia McGriskin.

Campbellford in the final round of voting for the Ultimate Fishing Town

EMC Sports – Campbellford “Imagine having two designated Ultimate Fishing Towns so close together.

We would be the fishing capital of Canada.”

Those words reflect the enthusiasm of Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan who is encouraging everyone and anyone to vote in the World Fishing Network’s (WFN) Ultimate Fishing Contest … again.

This time for Campbellford.

Teaming up with residents of Point Breeze, New York, the communities are voting for each other in an effort to win.

At the latest count, just before press time Monday, Campbellford had 5,574 votes while their nemesis Port Colborne had 13,076.

“We need to get the word out and ask people to vote as often as they can with every email address they have,” said Mayor Macmillan.

This is the final round of the competition and the prize of $25,000 is there for the taking by the winner.

Individuals are eligible to vote four times per 24-hour period, or once every six hours.

Actually looking at the numbers on

Monday Gananoque was at 5,477 votes, putting Campbellford in jeopardy.

Point Breeze, this year’s ally with Campbellford, was up to 6,865 votes at press time Monday while the leader Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, stood at 7,428 votes.

Peterborough as casino host opposed

When Hastings learned it had won the money residents voted on six possible projects vying for some of the $25,000 Ultimate Fishing Town Canada grand prize that’s to be used to promote fishing-related and environmental initiatives.

The Hastings Environmental Group (HEG) organized the event and is overseeing the disbursal of the money.

When the choppy waters calmed down last year Hastings won with 88,984 votes and in first place in the 2012 World Fishing Network’s Ultimate Fishing Town competition. Port Colborne came in second, with 46,646 votes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Quit complaining; count your blessings instead Dear Editor, This letter is in response to letters from Paul MacDonald (April 25, 2013) regarding the extended length of time it took Hydro One to restore power, after an unusually heavy ice storm.

I am sorry for your problems, but instead of complaining about the work of Hydro One you should be thanking them.

New speed limit in Trent Hills Dear Editor, I can’t understand the new 50 kilometres an hour on the side roads in Trent Hills. Is that the paved roads or the gravel roads? The gravel roads in Hastings (or is that Trent Hills?) are the worst kept roads in Trent Hills. Who can drive 80 kilometres anyway with those pot holes that could swallow a small car? If Trent Hills is going to call themselves a town and adhere to “town law” then perhaps one postal code and stop using “Warkworth, Hastings, Campbellford.” This would clear up the confusion on Mapquest and GPS when one is trying to find a road in the “town” of “Trent Hills or is that Hastings, Warkworth or Campbellford?”

It may also help me clear up the confusion of where do I live? I think, Hastings. Or is that Trent Hills? Where do I direct my mail? Hastings or is that Trent Hills with a Hastings postal code? My phone number is listed under Hastings; should that be Trent Hills? Someone better ask Ma Bell; maybe she knows.

Denise Moring, Hastings (I think)

6 Trent Hills Regional News - Thursday, May 9, 2013

These guys went above and beyond what should really be expected, working 16-hour days (the most allowed). I don’t know where you live but I know where I am we had at least a full inch of ice on a flat surface, such as the side of a vehicle with more on the windshield.

With this the hydro wires increased half inch and upward to three inches in diameter. This is a lot of weight.

On County Road 45 at Fenella, (this is a main feeder line to a very large area), the weight of ice broke the wire cables and ten large poles.

These were all snapped in half. All poles and wires had to be replaced.

County Road 45 had to be shut down numer-

ous times with about a seven-mile detour, so work could be done on poles, transformers, guy wires and lines restrung to poles.

The hydro lines on our own road were broken. The wire itself broke as well as the cross arms at the top of the poles. (Not just one but halfway down the road.)

This is just what I saw myself all within about three miles of my home.

You ask did Hydro One not learn anything from the great ice storm of 1998; regardless whether they did or not, it is plain to see that you did not or you would have your own generator and backup plan, and you would have been barely inconvenienced.

My advice to you and anyone else with the same feelings and attitudes as yours. Take the money that you will not have to pay Hydro One for those 83 hours, put some more with it and buy a generator. With your attitude I think you need a fully automatic generator, hooked to your house. Worry no more about not having hydro.

Another suggestion: next time get in a vehicle and go see just how much these workers have ahead of them.

I would like to thank all those workers for the 16-hour days they put in to get us up and running.

Walk for Dog Guides is about giving back

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - The Purina Walk for Dog Guides has a strong ally in Mike Morton and his Special Skills Dog (SSD) Dixie.

Again this year the pair is fund raising for the Let’s Walk for Dog Guides event.

The walk has become something of a tradition here, as the Campbellford Lions Club organizes and hosts the fund-raising walk which is taking place in more than 250 communities across Canada later in May. For Morton and his family, a very close family, it is their way of giving back.

Seriously injured in a car accident in 1999, when he was 18, Morton suffered a brain injury that left him in a coma for six months.

Talking with Trent Hills Regional News, he spoke about what life has been like since then.

“I don’t remember much at all about the accident,” he said, while sitting in his wheelchair in his home with his dog guide Dixie by his side.

“They didn’t know whether he was going to come out of the coma or not,” said his mom Debbie.

“When I woke up the only thing I remember … it was like someone was calling my name … I just knew I couldn’t go yet … I couldn’t leave my mother,” he said.

His mom was by his side through it all and during his recovery which included months of physiotherapy. Determined to make a home for him the family moved to a new house near Hoards Station which his father Reed designed and built.

It is roomy and accessible throughout with special features for Morton.

“I have my own bedroom and bathroom on the main floor,” he said with a grin, giving a tour of his new digs, which has equipment to make his life easier.

“I have a room downstairs, where I have my computer,” he said. An elevator is part of the house design.

“When the accident happened it changed everybody’s life,” said his mom.

Getting Dixie, a dog trained by the Lions Foundation of Canada, has been a change for the better. The cost to train these dogs is close to $25,000. People with disabilities who qualify receive a dog for free.

“She does a lot of stuff for me,” said Morton.

“I say socks and underwear she brings them to me and I give her a treat. I say shut and she goes and shuts the drawer,” he explained. And when they make a trip to a store, he just has to say the word “paw” and she presses the “accessible” door opener button, he said, providing a list of what Dixie can do for him … and it’s a long list.

“Dixie gives him a purpose, a reason to get up in the morning . . . she gives him his independence,” said his mom.

Being his friend and companion is an added bonus.

“It means so much to me to have Dixie,” said Morton, with the dog by his side.

And that is exactly where this four-year-old black Labra-

Mike Morton and his Special Skills Dog Dixie will again participate in the Purina Walk for Dog Guides which takes place in Campbellford Sunday, May 26, at 1 p.m. at Lions Gateway (Grand Road and Trent Drive).

Elaine May chairs the committee that organizes the walk which is a project of the Campbellford Lions Club. Photo: Sue Dickens dor will be at the Purina Walk for Dog Guides.

The pair has raised about $1,000 annually, last year close to $2,000, a number they hope to top.

Morton is on Facebook where friends can learn more and donate.

People without dogs are welcome to help raise funds.

Drones and Guantanamo

EMC Editorial - John Bellinger is the last person in Washington you’d expect to criticise President Barack Obama for making too many drone strikes. It was he who drafted the (rather unconvincing) legal justification for targeted drone killings when he was legal adviser to the Secretary of State in George W. Bush’s second administration, and he still supports them. But he went ahead and criticised Obama anyway.

Gwynne Dyer Speaking at a conference at the Bipartisan Policy Centre in Washington on May 1, Bellinger said: “This government has decided that instead of detaining members of al-Qaeda (at Guantanamo), they are going to kill them.” Leaving aside the question of whether most of the people detained at Guantanamo were ever actually members of al-Qaeda, there is a certain amount of plausibility in this accusation.

President Obama wants to close the U.S. prison camp on the Cuban coast where hundreds of suspected supporters of al-Qaeda have been held without charge, some for almost a decade. There are still 166 prisoners at Guantanamo, and just last week Obama, having been thwarted by Congress in his first-term pledge to close the place, announced his intention to try again with the new Congress.

The U.S. president was quite eloquent about why Guantanamo should be closed. “It is expensive. It is inefficient. It hurts us in terms of our international standing. It lessens cooperation with our allies on counter-terrorism. It is a recruitment tool for extremists. It needs to be closed.”

It also flouts international law, but even foreign-born Muslim socialist presidents of the United States can never concede that the whole enterprise was illegal. The furthest Obama will go is to say that it was counter-productive from the start, but that alone should be a sufficient justification for closing the place.

So why did John Bellinger, of all people, then accuse Obama of using drones too often? The U.S. president certainly does seem to like them: the vast majority of the 370 U.S. drone attacks, killing an estimated 3,500 people, have been carried out on his watch. According to Bellinger, it’s because Obama knows that if he can’t send the evil-doers to Guantanamo, his only alternative is to kill them with drone strikes.

What we actually have here is an unusually subtle Republican argument: if you don’t like the drone strikes (because they kill lots of innocent people), then you should keep Guantanamo open. But subtle is not the same as valid.

There are two unstated assumptions at the heart of this argument. One is that the U.S. could put its drones away and just capture the people it suspects of being al-Qaeda supporters by conventional means and lock them away in Guantanamo. No fuss, no muss, and no innocent “collateral damage.”

That’s ridiculous: the United States is not going to have much luck in tracking down alleged al-Qaeda supporters in the wilds of Yemen or Afghanistan and spiriting them away to Guantanamo. If it doesn’t target them with drones, then most of them will go on living (and so will the innocent people nearby). But you can’t just leave such dangerous people alive, can you?

This brings us to the second unstated assumption: that if all those dangerous people had been allowed to live, then there would have been hundreds of terrorist attacks against the United States. Or at least dozens. Okay then, how about a couple?

Probably not even one. After all, there were no drone strikes for the first three years after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, because the technology was not yet available. Yet even then, when al-Qaeda was still a relatively strong and cohesive organisation, there was not one further terrorist attack on the United States. The link between drone strikes and possible terrorist attacks on the United States is purely rhetorical.

There might have been one or two fewer attacks on American forces in Afghanistan if the drones had not been killing people in the tribal territories of Pakistan, but a simpler remedy than drone strikes would just be to withdraw those forces from Afghanistan as soon as possible. They are not serving any American interest by being there, and they cannot determine who will rule the country after they finally go home.

Indeed, since the Taliban’s guerilla war against the foreign armies in that country only got under way AFTER the drone strikes had begun, and has grown in almost every year since, it’s hard to argue that drones have prevented many attacks even there. The whole “war on terror,” the militarisation of what should have been a counter-terrorist campaign conducted by intelligence services, diplomats, police and courts, was a ghastly blunder from the start.

Never mind. The whole argument is moot. Obama won’t get the Republican majority in the House of Representatives to go along with closing Guantanamo this time either. And he won’t stop the drone strikes because he needs to be seen by the American public to be doing something “positive” as he brings the American troops home from another needless and lost war.

There is not one iota of strategic thinking in any of this. It’s all about American domestic politics, as the response to 9/11 has been from the beginning.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader tried to make a donation Dear Editor, On Saturday, about 3 p.m., I visited your outlet in Belleville Humane Society in order to give a donation and to ask for a donation box for my office.

Your volunteers were extremely rude to me, which I attribute to the fact that I speak with an accent.

The young one was pretending “not to understand” at all, what I am trying to say, and the older one completely ignored my presence. They both discussed just in front of me “What did she say?” and the older one told the young one “She said she wanted a donation box, I think.”

After their discussion, the older one continued to ignore me, and the young one told me to call Monday. I said can I leave at least a few coins, and the young lady told me that I may leave some, yes, as if she is doing me a favour.

Being met with such a chilly welcome, I was feeling very

insulted. I had $50 in my pocket earmarked as a donation, but after being met by uncouth and xenophobic staff I decided to take my donation elsewhere.

I am an avid cat lover, and seeing a poor caged cat breaks my heart. But being met by the staff in a rude and discriminatory fashion took away all my desire to donate and collect donations in my workplace.

I hope other benefactors, especially with perfect, unaccented English, will be met with some courtesy, otherwise, good luck with your recent campaign to raise money.

A copy of the e-mail is going to “Belleville News,” because their big article “Quinte Humane Society needs your help” prompted me to attempt to donate, so the people who do not speak perfect English will be warned: Quinte Humane Society does need help, but not from them.

A sad state of affairs

By Terry Bush EMC Editorial - While reading a report from the MNR last week about two Tweed men who thought it might be fun to do a little bass fishing in the dead of winter, I had to wonder, just how often does this actually happen? At $500 per fish, these two gentlemen won’t be in a hurry to do any more out of season angling, but who’s to say others aren’t doing this very same thing every day of the week. After all, there aren’t that many Conservation Officers (COs) left in the province to keep an eye on things. This pair of law breakers were caught only because a helicopter landed where they were fishing and a canine unit found the fish hidden in the snow.

You know it’s a pretty sorry state of affairs when there are now fewer COs on the job in this province than there were almost 40 years ago in 1975. The fact that only 200 or so officers are responsible for the enforcement of fishing, hunting and trapping regulations in Canada’s second largest province is ridiculous to say the least especially when you consider that most of our province is crown land. With over 250,000 lakes in the province, it doesn’t take much to do the math. Foresters, biologists, field technicians and administrative staff have been cut as well.

At the same time, Ontario’s population has grown by leaps and bounds from a little over eight million people in 1975, to around 13.5 million today.

That’s a lot of increased pressure on the province’s wildlife with an everdiminishing MNR budget available for enforcement.

While many of these recent immigrants to Ontario have settled in urban areas such as Toronto, they do enjoy getting out on the weekends. Much of the world doesn’t offer the same outdoor opportunities as this great land of ours. In fact, hunting for many was a pursuit only the rich were able to partake in. And in many poor countries, people keep every fish they catch just to feed their families. Old habits die hard. If you don’t have the staff to educate people and enforce the rules, how do you stop people from breaking them.

As one recently retired Conservation Officer put it, “When you consider that the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the Environment’s combined cost to taxpayers is less than one per cent of the total provincial budget, it leaves one scratching one’s head why a bit of extra money cannot be found for either agency. What we are not told is that the dollars traditionally provided to natural resources budgets have been shrinking.

“MNR is a field level organization that puts staff on the ground to do their work. That means it needs boats, motors, aircraft and vehicles plus a budget for fuel to get the work done. In an effort to maintain adequate funding support to field staff, MNR has found it necessary to delay the filling of many vacancies or permanently delete positions caused by retirements. In that way, dollars formerly assigned to support those positions can be reallocated to prop up funding shortfalls for staff still trying to get the work done.”

The largest share of tax dollars available in any provincial budget always finds its way to the big three, education, health and security (policing). That’s what the general public wants and any government in power will always try to give the voters what they consider most important. The great outdoors is often taken for granted especially when decisions are made by city dwellers who may or may not even realize that there is life beyond the Big Smoke and the Muskokas.

Some COs feel the writing is already on the wall. Many predict that the Ministry of Natural Resources will cease to become a field organization and more and more of its work will be farmed out to the private sector like forest management companies who oversee operations in crown forests. The worry is always there that this could turn out to be a case of the fox guarding the henhouse.

As more and more species become “at risk” in the province and more and more folks take to the outdoors especially since the advent of the ATV, more dollars should be finding their way into the MNR budget.

If the province in its infinite wisdom can afford to pay people over 80 cents per kilowatt hour to provide solar power to Hydro One who then sells it back to us for a fraction of that price, surely some money can be found to ensure that future generations will have the same opportunities to enjoy our natural resources that we have today.

On another note, hats off to local MP Daryl Kramp who has stated he won’t be sending out the Conservatives’ latest Justin Trudeau attack ads to his constituents because he doesn’t believe in personal attacks. Showing a little class is always welcome, especially in the world of politics.

Market celebrates its farmers, market gardeners and artisans

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Hastings It’s a rite of spring as farmers and market gardeners showcase their goods at the Hastings Village Market on its first day of the season.

From homemade preserves and homebaking, to plants and perennials to woodworking and more, the locally grown and handmade crafts made their way to the tables of the nine or ten vendors set up at the at the “four corners” Post Office parking lot last Saturday.

It was a scene that repeated itself throughout the region as farmers markets opened again for another summer.

Celebrating what many hope will be a healthy harvest, in spite of a late start for many of the products because of cold weather, the vendors were cheerful and welcoming to anyone who dropped by to check out the booths.

It just seems like yesterday that the Hastings Village Market held its final “hurrah” of the year “It’s been a really good summer,” market organizer Theo Van Will told the Northwest EMC on the first day of fall last year, as things were wrapping up.

He sells wood work as well as garden produce.

Hopes are the 2013 season will be even better.

“As far as fresh fruits and vegetables we’ll probably be a couple of weeks off,

but it’s hard to tell with this heat all of a sudden; I think things will catch up very quickly,” said Joyce Higgs, who was ensconced on the lot early last Saturday alongside her fellow vendors. An avid market gardener she spends her summers outside most of the time nurturing her herbs and special heritage seed plants.

“If you’ve eaten all the jams, jellies and pickles you bought last year, I still have a good supply of preserves, including my prize winners from the Warkworth and Norwood Fairs … and my best-selling red pepper jelly made with balsamic and red wine vinegars,” said the consummate market gardener. She also had some pickled beets, rainbow zucchini bread and butter pickles to sell.

“I’m happy to do special orders so if you’d like lowsugar or sugar-free jams, just let me know,” she added, again with that big smile of hers.

Higgins loves her garden produce and it shows.

As the season progresses she and the other vendors will have more and more variety to offer.

“We had some asparagus that wasn’t showing at all and now all of a sudden it’s six inches tall. We might have some fiddleheads in a week or two and then the asparagus will be ready,” said Higgins.

including hollyhocks, wild violets, tri-lobe coneflowers and gloriosa daisies showed up the first week of the market, at her stall.

“Due to the late spring, my heritage tomato plants will be available May 11,” she noted.

“We’ll be able to compare ourselves across the province; we’ve never been able to do that before with our monitoring information,” Carter told Asphodel-Norwood Council.

“We hope it becomes a tool for the conservation authority, municipalities and all of our partners to measure environmental change and help target our programs,” she says. “We want to make sure we’re putting our money in the right places. This will help us do that.

“The more people understand the watershed and the environment the more willing they’ll be to take action. Monitoring helps understand the health of our environment.”

The report card also gives ORCA an opportunity to promote its activities and programs, Carter added.

found at the market from week to week.

Opened in 2000, the market has been going strong ever since.

“In the last few years we’ve had market gardeners join and so whatever is in season you will be able to find whether it’s peas or beans or cucumbers and pumpkin right up until the corn,” said Higgins.

The colourful pamphlet provides basic watershed information and grades in the areas of surface water quality and forest conditions with additional information on wetlands and groundwater.

“Our results are very comparable to other conservation authorities,” says Carter.

The data is broken down into 12 subwatersheds “to make it meaningful,” including those that impact Asphodel-Norwood: the Ouse River, Rice Lake and Trent River and the Indian River. The Ouse River, at 66 per cent coverage, is the largest of the subwatersheds in Asphodel-Norwood.

“We’re doing well, things aren’t terrible, there’s a little bit of homework to do,” Carter admits.

The Ouse River watershed gets a “predominantly” C grade for its forest conditions with Rice Lake and the Indian River graded at “D,” says Carter.

“When you see these Cs and Ds it doesn’t mean your forests are unhealthy,” she stressed.

What it means is that there is more “fragmented forest” and not the “big for-

est blocks that give you that interior forest.”

Environment Canada suggests ten per cent forest interior is needed to support a range of wildlife species.

In the Otonabee Region interior coverage ranges from zero to ten per cent. Fifteen per cent of the Otonabee Region watershed is forested, eight per cent is forest interior and 27 per cent is forested riparian (waterfront) coverage.

“We’re seeing a reduction in the amount of forest coverage [and] that is typical across the province,” Carter said.

As forest riparian coverage grows water quality and habitat improves, she added.

“At fifty per cent you really start to see the improvement. Seventy-five per cent would be fantastic but we’ll work toward fifty per cent as our first goal.”

The “smaller pieces” of forest interior pull the grades down.

Pressure from urbanization, waterfront development and agriculture are factors influencing forest conditions.

Cheering on the message “Stop Bullying” Continued from page 1

of Graham “Cracker” Clarke, who lost his battle to cancer on Friday, January 26, 2007.

He was 12 and went to Westmount Public School in Peterborough.

“The biggest thing about this is we support kids on our ride that are fighting cancer in the communities we go to.

Myself and our Captain, John Townsend, have both done eulogies for these little guys at their funerals,” he added on a sad note.

“We do our bit as Cops for Cancer then do the skit then turn to shaving heads and pony tail cuts,” he said with the grin of a seasoned Pedal for Hope cyclist.

The team had been at three nearby schools the day before including Norwood Public School which raised $11,000, St. Paul’s Elementary School in Norwood which raised about $6,000 and HavelockBelmont Public School which raised a little over $3,000.

The tour comes to an end May 11 following visits to Millbrook and North Cavan.

“It’s pretty extensive stuff and a lot of information,” Mayor Doug Pearcy said.

Improving the grades is “something we’ll have to work together on,” Pearcy said.

“We can use this data to make decisions about projects we can undertake with municipalities,” Carter agreed.

Mothers Day HOURS

8:00-5:00

To Mom, with Love

Whether she’s still hard at work raising children or her kids have grown up and now have children of their own, Mom deserves our best efforts come Mother’s Day. And while traditional gifts like flowers and chocolate might make for thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts, those who want to go the extra mile for Mom this year can consider the following unique gift ideas.

you’re still bound to see an unforgettable show Mom will love.

 Concert tickets: Many adults recall the days of their youth when Mom would relax while listening to some of her favourite music on a lazy summer afternoon. Why not take a stroll down Memory Lane and take Mom to see one of her favourite acts in concert? Even if you have outgrown Mom’s musical tastes, she will still appreciate the chance to spend an evening out on the town with her kids and some good music.

 Parts unknown: Moms who love to travel and experience other cultures would certainly appreciate a trip abroad or a domestic getaway to a region of the country they have yet to explore. Before booking any such trips, speak to your Mom and ask if there’s anywhere in particular she’d like to go. Such trips can be expensive, so adults might want to speak to their siblings and finance such an excursion together.

 Theatre tickets: If Mom is a fan of live theatre then nothing will elicit a bigger smile than tickets to a Broadway show she has had her eyes on. If Broadway is a bit too far for you to travel, do your homework and find a traveling production of a former Broadway show. Such productions often feature many of the same actors who made the play famous on Broadway so

 Spa treatment: If Mom is still as active as ever, then a day of pampering at a nearby spa is sure to please. Many luxury spas offer packages, especially around Mother’s Day, that make a full-on spa treatment a more affordable gift. Men and women can even accompany Mom on her trip and reap the rewards of being such a thoughtful son or daughter.

Farmers’ Market begins another season EMC News - Campbellford - The comments and posts on Facebook say it all.

Campbellford Farmers’ Market’s grand opening celebration last Saturday was a huge success.

A sneak peak at the vendors was available to those who happened to see the market open up the Wednesday before, but May 4 was the official welcome to enthusiasts of fresh grown food and plants and more.

“Thanks to everyone who came out today, vendor and customer alike. Many familiar faces, and a good time had by all,” says the Facebook entry.

To celebrate its grand opening the

Stirling Citizens Band performed under bright sunny skies while market-goers enjoyed the music and milled around looking through the selection of early items on the vendors’ tables.

Samantha Bland was one of those who strolled through the market located on the municipal parking lot at the corner of River and Front streets where it has a permanent home and new signage that was put up a couple of years ago.

Close to ten vendors were there on that day, a number that grows to 15 or 20 at times.

“We just moved here about eight month ago,” she said as she glanced around.

“We enjoy the market because we can walk to it for one thing,” she commented, remarking on the availability of the plants and food and fresh vegetables.

“Farmers’ markets are fabulous especially when they are genuine farmers’ markets … not like some of the ones in the GTA,” she said with a wry grin.

“Even in the grocery stores here a lot of what you get is the farmers’ food which is good,” she added, commenting on how great it is living here with venues such as the Aron Theatre and “a wonderful library.”

Frank Vaughn, president of the Campbellford Farmers’ Market was on site with his own products from Rainbow Terrace Greenhouse and Garden.

“Things will be a little bit late this year. Spring was cold … one of the coldest in the last 200 years and it shows,” he told Trent Hills Regional News.

This is his tenth year at the market.

It’s been reported that Art Gater, who celebrated his 90th

birthday in March, played a key ums added some colour. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to noon role in launching the market in The Campbellford Farmers’ and operates May through the the late 1980s.

Market is open Wednesdays end of October.

It is a market that has something for everyone as farmers sell what they produce, from greens, to green onions, potatoes, kale, and peas, to frozen beef, pork, duck, bison and elk and goat cheese, rhubarb, honey, maple syrup and soaps.

Also there are always plenty of perennials, annuals, vegetable and herb plants and fresh baking including cakes, pies, muffins, cookies and breads.

Helen Evegroen of Evegroen Acres who’s been a vendor for two decades said, “It’s looking like it’s going to be a good season although we’ve had a cold spring. We’ve had a nice lot of rain so that should help. It was so dry last year. If the weather co-operates we should have a good year.”

Rob Milligan pledges to stop the Trades Tax EMC News - MPP Rob Milligan signed a pledge Friday, May 3, to stop the Liberal government’s new tax that will nail tradespeople, employers and consumers across Ontario.

“The Liberal government is planning to force membership fees, or a trades tax, on Ontario tradespeople and employers this year to fund the Ontario College of Trades, the government’s newest bureaucracy,” he said. “The trades tax is expected to cost tradespeople millions of dollars in new fees.”

Milligan visited car dealers in Cobourg and Trenton, stopping in at Spelmer Chrysler Jeep Dodge at 51 TrentonFrankford Road. He signed a pledge to Stop the Trades Tax that was witnessed by owner Jason Spelmer, and addressed the staff about the tax.

“The Trades Tax affects every business,” he said. “It is passed on to consumers and takes dollars out of our pockets.”

He said the tax will also drive work “underground” to escape paying the high prices of sub-contracting out to other trades.

The 2011 Trades Tax is run by a board with no trades people on it, he added.

“These people are not even elected,” he said.

More information on the Trades Tax is at <www.stopthetradestax.ca>.

“It’s just another tax grab by the government,” Milligan said.

Contact Tausha at 416-303-7260 or <tausha.michaud@pc.ola.org> for more details.

Milligan also commented on the recent Liberal budget. He said people are not eager to have another election but it will save money when you consider that the government spends $2 million more than they make in revenue every day. “How can we afford not to have an election?” he asked.

Milligan said he realizes that former MPP Lou Rinaldi is running again in the next election. Milligan beat him last time by 701 votes. He said there are 113,000 eligible voters in Northumber- Helen Evegroen of Evegroen Acres (Evergreen Gardens) sells pansies and land- Quinte West riding but only about geraniums and has some jarred red peppers, apple jelly, chili sauce and pickled beets to start the season off just right.

Tooth Coloured Fillings Make for Beautiful Smiles

Many of us who grew up before the time of fluoridated water have a mouth full of silver fillings.

These fillings known as amalgams, have proven to be extremely durable restorations, but let’s face it, they are not very pleasing to the eye. At the time they were placed, however, they represented the best that dentistry had to offer.

Fortunately, advances in dental materials have made it possible to use tooth coloured filling materials that can be virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth to achieve long lasting and attractive restorations. In our practice, we use tooth coloured materials for the fillings that we place. We even use these materials to replace old amalgam fillings that have started to deteriorate or that simply detract from the appearance of our patient’s smiles.

Feel free to contact our office if you have any concerns about your old silver fillings or would like to learn more.

Call us to schedule your dental appointment

Students return from Journey of Hope changed forever

EMC News - Warkworth - A “Journey of Hope” changed not only the lives of three high school students who travelled to Tanzania but the lives of the children at the schools they visited.

“What sticks out in my mind is how happy the people are with so little and how discontented we are with so much,” said Aaron Robertson, a Grade 12 student at East Northumberland Secondary School (ENSS) in Brighton.

He was joined by two other classmates from ENSS, Nathan Shakura and Genevieve (Genny) Dalby, all of whom live in the Warkworth area.

Together the trio made a presentation to the Warkworth Community Service Club about their journey and what they accomplished. The club had donated $2,000 to the three students for the trip.

“I thought that tonight was a great example of how we use the money that we gather through our fund-raising efforts,” commented David Pollack of WCSC. The destination of the trio was Kilema, Tanzania, where there were several public schools and a vocational school.

There were 18 students from three different high schools, ENSS, Port Hope High School and Cobourg West, accompanied by chaperones, including principals, who made the journey.

Money was raised by the students through a 30-hour fast, a read-a-thon and a spirit day.

“Our main goal was to bring volunteer aid to better the lives of those affected with HIV in the schools in northern Tanzania,” said Shakura.

They took close to 1,500 pounds of supplies, everything from science supplies to school supplies, athletic tools, working tools and even UV water filtration systems.

“We had a microscope, a model skeleton, paper, chalk and little chalkboards, erasers, teaching aids and lots and lots of purple crayons for some reason and soccer balls,” said Robertson, grinning.

There were paint brushes and paint and sewing kits and more.

“We painted the walls of classrooms but it wasn’t easy because they were literally falling apart,” said Dalby..

“Something else we did was repaint the chalk boards with chalkboard paint.

Pieces of the chalkboard were coming off so it was difficult. The teachers will now have a much easier time getting lessons across.”

The Kawartha Pine Ridge (KPR) District School Board had donated laptops.

Dalby said she used her Swahili book when teaching the children, hoping they would understand, as their English was limited.

And the kids loved to play soccer.

“We were getting beat by ten-yearolds and they didn’t even have shoes on.

It didn’t look good,” said Dalby laughing.

“The trip was a great way to see how much help we were able to do, how much help we will do in the future and how much help we need to provide for these kids over there,” said Robertson.

“It’s so minimal the help we do. Minimal for us, maximum for them. It makes so much of a difference,” said Shakura.

Housing and homelessness survey augmenting session

By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Campbellford - An online survey available to residents and service providers alike soliciting responses as part of Northumberland County’s development of its ten-year Housing and Homelessness Plan, continues to offer an opportunity for input.

“We want to get a sense of people’s needs that they or family members have,” said Tim Welch, the consultant hired by the county.

Community sessions have been held as another method of gathering information, one of which was in Campbellford recently.

Faced with a waiting list of people looking for affordable accommodation, the goal of the county is to develop a long-term housing vision which reflects the provincial

Friends of Ferris Spring Nature Walk

objectives, local needs and opportunities and focuses on a broad range of housing solutions.

About 100 people showed up for the five sessions which have taken place in not only Campbellford but in Brighton, Cobourg and Port Hope.

“We had about 12 people at our session in Campbellford,” Welch told Trent Hills Regional News.

One resident, some organizations and a church pastor were part of the group that sat down to talk about the needs of their community as they see them to be.

Earlier this year Welch made presentations to municipal councils informing them of the project.

At the time of this interview about 70 questionnaires had been filled out online.

“Almost all of those are from individuals,” said Welch.

He talked about contributing factors to homelessness such as transportation and access to services and employment, access to affordable housing, food security, mental

health and addictions issues, poverty and coordination of agencies and services.

Campbellford Community Resource Centre Administrator Carolyn Anderson was one of the people who sat around the table in Campbellford.

“What they really need is a lot of people filling out the online survey. People should give their opinion, whether it’s an agency or an independent person,” she said.

“We tried to run a housing board here; it just didn’t work. I would like to look at some other way to look at the issue.”

Sarah McKeown, program assistant with Community Care Northumberland, Trent Hills’ office, was also at the table.

“Many of the concerns that have been raised to me are older adults who own their own homes, who are making ends meet but when it comes to home repairs such as a new roof or new furnace, are having a difficult time paying for those types of repair,” she said.

“So part of this plan is not only not having shelter but it is about having inadequate

housing—the homes they are living in not being properly repaired.”

Pastor David Kurkilahti of Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church had been invited to the community session.

“One of the challenges is there is a stigma associated with subsidized housing and it’s not always fair,” he said, noting he is glad the provincial government is mandating that housing and homelessness plans be put in place.

“One of the other challenges I suppose that can be resolved here is a better partnership and working together within community organizations.”

A second round of community sessions will be held in June and a report is expected

by September.

The province has mandated that a plan be in place by January 1, 2014.

To fill out the online survey which will remain online in May, go to: <www.northumberlandcounty.ca/en/departments_communitysocialservices/css_10year_ housing_homelessness_plan.asp>.

Arts organizations join forces to support creative community EMC News - Trenton - Arts Quinte West is pleased to welcome Art for Everyone! to The Gallery in downtown Trenton. Working together to support the creative community in Quinte West, the two organizations are excited about the opportunity to present a broad program of services for the presentation and promotion of the Arts in the Quinte region.

Active since 2008 and supported by the City of Quinte West, the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and local businesses, Arts Quinte West (AQW) displays the work of its members in various venues through its Showcase program, at its gallery at 84 Dundas Street West in downtown Trenton and at local festivals and events.

Both The Gallery and Art for Everyone!, originally located on Dundas Street East, are about to celebrate their first anniversary and are planning a number of events to mark the occasion. Festivities begin with a kickoff at AQW’s general meeting on Thursday, May 30, featuring music, author readings and collaborative painting. AQW will present their first evening of musical entertainment at The Gallery on Thursday, June 6, with “An Evening with James Lowrie,” an accomplished young classical guitarist from Belleville. AQW is hoping that

placements prepared by Fire Chief Rick Caddick would have to be altered to accommodate the $250,000 purchase. A motion, made in committee by Jeremy Solmes and seconded by Bob Mullin, had allowed for about $50,000 in funding to become the responsibility of the next term of council, but the motion was defeated. Cooney then moved that a new pumper-tanker be purchased for Station 2 in Spring Brook and “that the entire cost of the new truck be paid and totally funded by this term of council.” Seconded by Grant Hagerman, the motion was passed. The truck is expected to be delivered before the end of the year.

Plans to dismantle the Stirling Skate Park have been put on hold while Parks and Recreation Committee members reassess the situation. Committee members had intended to remove the existing equipment owing to a lack of interest, but after an upsurge in activity recently, they have opted to revisit the issue in the fall.

After a request was made for permission to continue with a renovation in a municipal building, council decided to visit the local library to get a firsthand look at the project before moving forward. Councillors were uncertain of the scope of the work being done or exactly how Trillium funding was being spent and, after a brief discussion, agreed to visit the municipally owned building to see for themselves.

Council passed four bylaws to employ the services of several plumbers and tradespeople in preparation for the installation of water meters throughout the village.

EMC News - Trent Hills - A number of incidents relating to the use of hydrogen sulfide have led to a dire warning from the Ontario Provincial Police.

Two OPP members were sent to hospital recently from inhaling the gas fumes while trying to help a victim last week.

Both officers are expected to make a full recovery.

The incident happened in Oxford County, near Woodstock.

“People are using this [poisonous gas] for self harm [suicide],” are the words of Sergeant D. Rektor, of London Regional Headquarters.

He spoke with Trent Hills Regional News about the rise in use of the dangerous gas.

Forever Fashions fundraiser

“It can be made from over the counter chemicals you can buy in any store,” he noted, reluctant to report on the topic as it only “creates more awareness” of its availability.

“Desperate people do desperate things,” said Rektor.

Hydrogen sulfide is a gas that smells like rotten eggs and is not present in vehicles unless introduced there by the victim, state the OPP in their warning.

The danger to responders and the public are that this gas is very similar to cyanide and it is five times more toxic than carbon monoxide, Rektor explained.

In some instances, victims have posted notes on vehicle windows warning rescuers not to enter the vehicle.

If inhaled at low levels it can cause eye irritation, sore throat, cough, nausea, shortness of breath and fluid in the lungs. Moderate exposure can cause fatigue, loss of appetite, vomiting, staggering and headaches.

Concentrated high exposure can cause convulsions, amnesia, respiratory paralysis and death by asphyxiation.

“It takes your breath away and causes havoc with the respiratory system and nervous system,” said Sergeant Rektor.

“The number of incidents have been spreading in the last couple of months,” he added, noting most of the information is available on the Internet.

“You can find anything and everything there,” he said.

Should members of the public come upon someone who appears to be sleeping in a vehicle or another enclosed space and is unresponsive they should call police immediately and use extreme caution in attempting to access the victim, advise the OPP. Prior to opening the vehicle door, look inside for written signs or chemicals being used.

The gas concentration in the vehicle will be extremely high and inhalation of the fumes may be fatal to the responder.

Reports of the use of hydrogen sulfide as a “suicide fad” in Japan made it online several years ago.

Trent Hills Fire Department hosts open house at all three halls

EMC News - Featuring fashions from three fashion-conscious retail outlets models strutted their stuff for what is one of the biggest fund raisers for the Auxiliary to the Campbellford Memorial Hospital. Forever Fashions was held at the Campbellford Legion, Branch 103, to a room filled with supporters who enjoyed a social hour and refreshments raising money for the Auxiliary: from left, models included Roxanne Flagler with a stunning outfit from ZAZU Boutique in Campbellford; Judy Pearce wearing a summery dress from Julia’s of Stirling; and Jan Hlywka wearing sophisticated fashion clothing from Trentmendous of Warkworth. The auxiliary is raising money for a central monitoring station upgrade and portable vital signs monitor. Photo: Sue Dickens

EMC News - An open house information session at the Campbellford/Seymour, Warkworth and Hastings fire halls gave the public the opportunity to drop by and ask questions just like this little guy did.

Eight-year-old Linden Nicholas, centre, dropped by the Hastings fire hall and told firefighter Rick Thain, left, who is from the Warkworth station, that he knew not to open a door if it is hot, and not to block himself in a corner if there is a fire. The event was held to help spread the word and educate landlords and tenants on the importance and requirements of having working smoke alarms. Landen’s dad Ryan is looking at a wireless smoke alarm.

Nayler’s Common: a quiet haven

Rita Cimprich, Marmora and Lake’s deputy-reeve and the chair of the Environmental Advisory Committee, was on hand for the annual tree giveaway held at Memorial Park on May 4. A display relating to Nayler’s Common and the fact that the committee is raising funds for improvements at the site, including a look out, created interest and resulted in many donations being made.

EMC News - Marmora – Nayler’s Common Wetland and Trails, a beautiful municipally owned tract of land located within the village limits, just east of the business section and south of Highway #7, offers visitors an opportunity, as noted in the brochure, “to observe different ecosystems and natural features.”

Among these are streams, a large pond teeming with life, birds, a range of reptiles and amphibians, wild flowers, shrubs and much more.

The property, which was opened to the public in 1994, has a rich history, dating to the 1880s when it was a brickyard supplying materials for many of the local houses and businesses.

The area offers all an opportunity to observe nature and enjoy a quiet (except for the calls of the birds) time out of doors. Visitors are asked to “take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints, enjoy the journey.”

Currently, the Environmental Advisory Committee, a committee of council, is working toward improvements at the site, among them the installation of a waterside viewing platform. They would welcome donations from the public to further these projects.

Heartfelt thanks to sponsors and friends who generously donated to the ‘For Love of the Dance’ event. All proceeds are earmarked for the Belleville Oncology Department, Patient Comfort Care.

We recognize your effort makes this event better and better. ~ For Love of the Dance Committee.

Auto show crowds exceed expectations

EMC News - Stirling - With a commitment to keep the Annual Automotive Flea Market in Stirling, local agricultural society officials were thrilled with the weekend results of their efforts after thousands of visitors arrived to satisfy all their driving desires.

The show and sale of automobiles, parts and related accessories originally started in Spring Brook as a fund raiser for the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) eastern region who then moved to Stirling for the ensuing 40 years. But with organizers announcing this year’s AACA show’s move to Lindsay, the Stirling Agricultural Society vowed to keep the crowds coming to the fairgrounds here.

And with more than 500 vendor spaces rented, well over 100 display vehicles crowding the parking lot in front of the arena and automotive deals both inside and out, about 8,000 visitors passed through the gates during the weekend ensuring there will be a next year for the popular event. Along with cars and parts

dating from the present to the early days of the automobile, there were T-shirts, hats and clothing, models and toys and products and services of all mechanical descriptions. Tarps, seemingly strewn with scrap metal to the uneducated eye, proved a treasure trove for enthusiasts, collectors and restorers many of whom spent hours combing through the hundreds of sites laid out both beside and behind the community centre.

Arena Manager Richard Dean says the annual crowd-pleaser, which was also housed in the adjoining curling club, was another big success for organizers and saw steady traffic all weekend.

But with pending arena improvements slated to begin soon, he says there are some significant changes in store before similar crowds return to the fairgrounds for the 155th Stirling Fair in August. “That’s what we’re doing this summer,” he notes.

But in Stirling during the first weekend in May, it’s still all about cars.

“We’re really happy,” said SAS

President Jason Detlor as the show wound down Sunday afternoon.

Attendance was exceptional, he says, and after its first year running the show the society is confident of its long-term future. “We wanted to keep the dollars local,” Detlor says of the decision to host this year’s show on the same weekend as the Lindsay event. And by all accounts, he says, the show in Stirling was the unquestionable favourite.

Agricultural Society supporters were joined by members of the Hastings County 4-H Club, Stirling and District Lions and Royal Canadian Legion Branch 228 as an army of volunteers descended on the fairgrounds, under clear blue skies and unseasonably warm temperatures, to keep the traffic flowing smoothly and steadily.

Vendors were also pleased with the weekend crowds, the venue and the weather, with many claiming record sales and a picture perfect weekend of mechanical sights and sounds for all ages and interests.

Visitors to the show, including

residents from nearby communities as well as Ottawa and Kingston, expressed their relief the annual event was staying where

it grew up. About 5,000 people arrived through the gates on Saturday, Detlor says, and even at its peak there was ample space

available for all their needs, offering more reason for optimism the show will continue to grow in the years ahead.

Mavii Carlaw and River and Wyatt Watson of Campbellford were among the youngsters enjoying the Annual Automotive Flea Market hosted in Stirling last weekend.

Old Hastings Snowmobile Club has appreciation dinner EMC News - Coe Hill Legion was the location of the Old Hastings Snow Riders annual appreciation dinner on April 27 to honour landowners and club volunteers. The club maintains approximately 400 kilometres of trails which cross over 70 landowners’ properties.

The Golden Jet returns

By Steve Jessel

EMC Sports - Belleville - Sunny skies and warm weather provided the perfect backdrop for the second annual Soccer Skills Development Family Fun Day hosted by the Quinte Old Boys Soccer Club, and special guest Bobby Hull proved a popular attraction for both young and old looking for an autograph from one of the greatest hockey players to ever play the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited, and very happy with the turnout,â&#x20AC;? said Quinte Old Boys president Romano Digenova.

The purpose of the event was to raise funds for two local autism charities and to help raise awareness of the disorder.

The two chosen organizations to benefit from the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceeds were Kerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place and Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hope, and while Digenova said they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set any kind of fund-raising goal, every cent makes a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope this money will benefit and raise hope, and continue research,â&#x20AC;?

Walleye weighs in at a whopping 11.92 pounds

By Kate Everson

EMC Sports - Quinte West - The winner of the top prize in the Trenton Kiwanis Walleye World Fishing Derby was a team effort.

“Everyone co-operated,” said Rob Wengel from Ottawa who won the senior walleye prize of a boat and motor with an 11.92 walleye out of Picton.

“One of us drives the boat, one catches the fish and the other one nets it,” Wengel said. “It was a team effort.”

Wengel will sell the prize worth $16,999 three ways.

“It’s all about having fun,” he added. “We didn’t come to win big.”

His partners Rob Lafferty and Ed Turpin are both from Trenton. Wengel is also from Trenton, in the military, and just got posted to Ottawa last year.

“I’ve been fishing with Rob for years,” said Wengel.

“We won the first prize in 2009 as well.”

Ed Turpin said the secret of catching the big one is to find the fish and stay on it.

They fished all night long off of Picton and caught the winner at 2:40 a.m.

“It takes luck and patience,” Wengel said.

The derby also gave out

prizes for senior pike but the winner Sean Robinson did not show up to claim his boat and motor on Sunday.

His 13.44-pound pike topped the charts.

“I think he’s still out fishing,” said Kevin Weaver, at the tent with chair Remco De Gooyer. “Somebody should tell him he can come in now; he won!”

The junior division was well attended with children picking up their prizes of bicycles and fishing poles.

Braeden Palmer from Kingston got tops for junior pike at 10.05 pounds. Tynika Williams caught the biggest walleye at 8.84 pounds.

The results are all posted on the <www.kiwaniswalleyeworld.com> web site which has been keeping a running tally throughout the derby which started at midnight Friday night through to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

The 33rd annual event is a major fund raiser for the Trenton Kiwanis Club.

They also donated $750 to Quinte Sailability, presented by president Dino Leone to “Fletch” at the closing.

Kevin Weaver noted there were 13 weigh stations around the Bay of Quinte Please see “One” on page B9 Winner of the senior walleye was Rob Wengel with his partners Ed Turpin (with son Ty) and Rob Lafferty from Trenton. Photo: Kate Everson

Flashing for cache

By Ray Yurkowski

EMC News - Brighton - Other than the sounding of an air horn to get under way, Brighton quietly took its place last weekend in a worldwide event.

And it was all over in 15 minutes.

The event: a gathering of geocachers for the 10th annual World Wide Flash Mob at global positioning system (GPS) co-ordinates N044 02.525 W077 44.341 (also known as Memorial Park).

“May the 4th be with you,” was this year’s catch phrase as hundreds of local mobs were organized around the globe for the first Saturday in May. The Brighton event was one of 556 events in 42 countries.

The local scrum, which attracted about 50 enthusiasts, was the brainchild of Joe Towes. Her first venture into the hobby was about three years ago when, after some basic online research, she armed herself with a smartphone and shovel and walked into a graveyard to find her first cache.

“It was a pretty funny picture at the time,” said Towes. “But now I know so much more about it.”

For the uninitiated, geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunt game. Par-

ticipants, equipped with GPS devices, play by locating hidden containers using the co-ordinates listed on a geocaching web site.

“It’s a great way to explore locations, near and far,” touts the official hobby web site. “With a million hidden worldwide, there are geocaches for every type of adventurer to find.

The GPS device will navigate you close to the cache, but once you’re there, you’ll have to discover it on your own. And they can be very cleverly hidden.”

Once found, gamers sign a logbook and the rule of thumb is; if you take something, you are expected to leave an item of equal or greater value for the next treasure hunter to find. The cache is then replaced exactly as found and the experience is logged on the web site.

Anyone can use the co-ordinates.

All you need is a free, basic membership and a GPS device or smartphone.

“We use billion-dollar satellites to find Tupperware in the woods,” said Towes, with a laugh. “It’s a great fami- About 50 geocachers showed up at Memorial Park in Brighton last weekend in support of a local contribution to the 10th annual World Wide Flash Mob. ly activity.

EMC News - Stirling - Organizers of the Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise are encouraging members of the public to attend their upcoming Stars of the Festival concert celebrating some of the top performers from the two-week long competition.

The annual musical festival, which features classes in various disciplines ranging from instrumental to vocal, has long been an avenue for youngsters to share their talents, says Festival President Donna Russett, and was once again well attended.

“The numbers were down a little bit, but not too much below last year, so overall it was very good,” she says, noting several youth choirs were unable to participate this year but are expected to return.

Held at St. Paul’s United Church as well as the Stirling Festival Theatre, this year’s festival ran from April 21 to May 1, and will conclude with the Stars concert next Friday (May 10) beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $3 for adults and 50 cents for children.

“We had some excellent adjudicators again this year,” she says of Jarred Dunn, Lance Ouellette, Natalie Pratt and the Reverend Rodney Smith, adding they provide encouraging and helpful advice to all performers. While many enjoy music as a creative pastime, others have gone on from the festival to pursue musical careers. In recent years the festival has been a member of OFMA, allowing competitors to move on to a higher level of competition. The depth of musical talent here particularly among the youth, Russett says, always proves a pleasant surprise for visiting adjudicators and audience members.

Following the Stars of the Festival concert, which will also include the presentation of several festival awards, organizers are also hosting an upcoming scholarship Please see “Members” on page B3

Surf ’n’ Turf perfect for true fitness test EMC Sports - Anyone wishing to give themselves a true physical challenge will likely want to take part in this year’s Surf and Turf Challenge at CFB Trenton June 7.

Open to everyone, this competition is an eight-leg cross-country fitness challenge involving running, cycling, canoeing and swimming over 60 kilometres of terrain spanning the Quinte West community. Participant involvement includes: Single competitors, or Tinmen; team pairings, or Tinmates or teams consisting of an eight-person race crew.

Organizers this year hope to see the largest turnout in the event’s 26-year history. They are hoping for at least 750 competitors, hundreds of spectators and teams from across Canada.

“We are improving on the event from last year,” noted event spokesperson Captain Pierre-Luc Verreault. “We have changed some of the transition to ensure a better flow and intersection signs will be clearer to avoid any confusion.”

At the same time, organizers have increased the length of the canoe/kayak leg of the competition by one kilometre so that it now goes around the Trent Bridge on Highway 2. They have also enhanced the cross-country run to make it a true five-kilometre competition.

Another goal of this year’s competition Surf ’n’ Turf competitors will compete in running, cycling, canoeing and is to strengthen community ties, according swimming events over 60 kilometres of terrain spanning the Quinte West to Captain Verreault.

“We want to make this a real community gathering event and strengthen our ties with the local businesses and employers,” he told The Contact.

As always, funds raised from this event go to assist the Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) at CFB Trenton.

The Trenton MFRC provides services and resources that support the well-being of military families serving at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. Military families includes all military, regular force or reservist, and

their parents and close relatives.

The race itself is designed to demonstrate the importance of camaraderie, community involvement and friendship while supporting military members and their families. The race has grown each year of its existence. Unique to CFB Trenton, this race will also be open to the general public.

Dogs die in house fire were able to extinguish the blaze in less than two hours. The Squires Road resident, Caddick says, had left to run a quick errand and inadvertently left the burner on. Nobody was home at the time of the fire, Caddick adds, and a pair of dogs were unable to escape.

“It’s accidental for sure,” he says, noting it is also a stark reminder of

the importance of constant fire safety and awareness.

More than 30 Stirling-Rawdon firefighters and a full complement of equipment attacked the evening fire “and they did a bang-up job,” Caddick says, noting it was an older two-storey structure that did sustain significant damage. Crews returned to the stations within two hours.

Help send a girl in Nepal to school

EMC Events - Sometimes, people just don’t know what their purpose is in life. And sometimes they find out. For Laura Levtov of Madoc, a lifelong passion for

teaching children, in her case figure skating, has taken her halfway around the world.

Laura’s son Mark was involved with the World Youth

Summit and ended up in Nepal where he met a local man, Jimmy Lama, whose mission is to educate local children. Though he could have found a high pay-

ing job anywhere in the world, Laura’s son decided Nepal was the place for him.

As most mothers would, if they have the means, Laura visited her son and being the athletic type decided to climb to Mount Everest base camp when given the opportunity. Soon, she was made well aware of the plight of girls in that country.

Children are no different in Nepal than other countries, they all have a thirst for knowledge.

Unfortunately, they aren’t as fortunate as children are in the west especially if they’re female.

If they’re lucky, they can attend school up to Grade 5 in their village. To go on, the children have to move to a bigger village to attend Grades 5 to 10 which is where the school system ends for most students unless they are lucky enough to have a scholar-

ship to attend Grades 11 and 12 paving the way for university.

Not many children have that option in a third world country.

As part of the grand opening of a school, Laura, through her husband, David’s power skating academy in Toronto, sent the money to plant apple trees to supplement the children’s diet of rice and beans.

The next year, three staff members of the academy travelled to the country. One was a high school teacher who helped Jimmy Lama set up a school system. The next plan is to set up a hostel/school which will house, students, classrooms and volunteers.

To achieve that goal, a fund raiser will be held in Madoc on Saturday, May 11, at the Kiwanis Centre on St. Lawrence Street.

This event, catering to women,

will feature yoga and meditation instructors from Toronto (bring your own mat), breakfast and a live video feed from Nepal with Buddhist nun Amara Maharja who is involved with the school program, Jimmy Lama and hopefully a girl saved from being sold last year after her mother agreed to accept a school scholarship for her daughter.

The event is sponsored by Laura’s husband’s power skating academy Freedom on Ice, Nepal and runs from 8 until 11 a.m. The hope is that a minimum donation of $50 per person will go a long way toward sending a girl to school.

It costs only $2,500 per year to send ten girls to school including their room and board and Laura is hopeful she will reach her goal.

Tickets are available by calling Laura Levtov at 613-473-4588.

Baden-Baden is a Spa Town, and much more

days of the week, except at a couple of the 17 designated stations: the whirlpool (34C) and exercise (28C) baths.

The more modern Caracalla Spa, opened in 1985, has therapeutic waters that range from 18C to 38C, massage jets, both indoor and outdoor pools, both hot- and cold-water grottos, a brine inhalation room, a steam bath, a solarium, an aroma sauna, a wellness room, and relaxation loungers.

Since Baden-Baden is well known as a spa town, I expected it to be very pricey, and, indeed, I found some highend shopping on Sophienstrasse, and I discovered that the renowned casino catered to the rich and well groomed, for I even had to wear a tie and jacket just to enter the place. However, I also discovered that Baden-Baden’s spa facilities were very reasonably priced, for a three-hour “Basic Package” at Friedrichsbad was 23 EUR and a two-hour visit to the Caracalla Spa was only 14 EUR, and I was able to get a reasonably priced meal in the Caracalla Spa’s Therman Restaurant. I was also able to find some reasonably priced products, made with BadenBaden thermal water, in its Caracalla Shop, to bring back for my wife.

My visit to the spa was both relaxing and rejuvenating, a definite highlight. However, Baden-Baden certainly has much more to offer, too, including several fascinating museums and delectable restaurants, Lichtenthal Abbey (founded in 1245), Brahms’ House, Iffezeim Racecourse, Merkur Mountain (reached via the Merkur funicular), and the Festspielhaus (Europe’s second largest opera and concert hall). However, my very favourite activity of them all was sim-

ply my walk along BadenBaden’s Lichtentaler Allee, for this is a nature lover’s paradise, an oasis of peace and tranquility and right in town! I found it to be a very relaxing and yet eyepopping experience (with many photo-ops). I wandered through the town’s Cultural Mile, past the Frieder Burda Museum and the Stadtmuseum, and I then found myself surrounded by parkland as I headed east, along what appeared to be a little brook (the Oos River), with its quaint, picturesque, pedestrian bridges. I passed the luxurious Brenner’s Park-Hotel & Spa along the way, and Germany’s oldest tennis club, founded here in 1881, and then I arrived at the Gon-

neranlage, a beautiful rose garden, with magnificent floral displays, manicured lawns, decorative sculptures, and large fountain.

I was enjoying this “stroll through the park” so much that I decided to continue to the east end of Lichtentaler Allee, where I checked out the abbey itself, where both guided tours and guestrooms are available.

I then simply strolled back into the downtown core and returned to my accommodations at the Hotel Merkur.

Baden-Baden, <www. baden-baden.com>, is located near the French border, in the southwestern foothills of Germany’s Black Forest area, and it’s definitely worth a visit.

The five love languages of moms

EMC Lifestyles - This Sunday, moms everywhere will be awakened by little feet carrying trays of soggy cereal and cold toast. It’s Mother’s Day! And that means a $6 card gushing about mom is absolutely mandatory,

The Good Earth: EMC Lifestyles - Something happened over the winter, quietly and without your conscious realisation.

Your garden tools changed. The hedging shears became much heavier than you remembered, the edges on your shovel became so blunt that you have to use it upside down as a seed drill, 40 per cent of the tines on your hard back rake have moved to hillbilly country where there is a high demand for strong teeth, and your pruning shears have lost their spring, including the third set of spares you bought last September. There’s more, much more, Gentle Reader, but too much bad humour will leave you in bad humour and that won’t do. People in good humour are more likely to write a letter to the editor stating that the gardening columnist should be paid a premium.

People in bad humour are more likely to be called “Eeyore.”

By now, the garden sheds have been opened up, all the contents spread out across the yard, insides swept out and

thor of the best selling book The Five Love Languages, each of us has a preferred love language—the love language in which we feel loved.

Some of us certainly love Gifts. We love receiving them because we feel as if the person has thought of us, and sacrificed for us.

Others of us lean more toward the language of Physical Touch. We love holding hands, or cuddling on the couch, or getting fingers through our hair. Some of us prefer Acts of Service, when someone does the dishes so that we can relax.

If hubby put up a set of shelves to display some new family photographs, that would put us over the moon. Still others lean toward Words of Affirmation, where people tell us what they appreciate most about us. Finally, there’s Quality Time. We just plain love spending hours with those we love—going for a

drive, playing a board game, going for a hike and talking. When people set aside time for us, we feel cherished.

And here’s the clincher: because that’s the way we experience love the most, that’s also the way we tend to want to give love. So those who appreciate Words of Affirmation tend to affirm those they love. Those who appreciate Physical Touch tend to touch. But what if a “touchy” person is married to a “service” person? The touchy person could be hugging and touching and caressing galore, but the service person is thinking, “Why doesn’t he ever just put his clothes in the hamper”? Likewise, the touchy person is thinking, “Why doesn’t she ever just hug me when I get in the door?”

Of course, you can like a variety of these languages, but most of us have a dominant one. I’m a “Words of Affirmation” gal, and every year I tell my hus-

The right tools

new storage systems have been created. By the way, isn’t it astonishing where mice nest in the winter, where chipmunks stash peanuts and how hard the contents of opened fertiliser boxes get when, really, it’s just sitting there in a dry place?

This is the best time to assess your tools. For the moment, don’t think about what you have; think about what you will need. Walk the grounds of your estate and note the upcoming tasks. What tools are best suited to accomplish them? Make notes. When you go back to your collection of tools take out the ones on your new list.

What’s left? For example, my list of tasks does not include dethatching my lawn so in my “left” group I have a brand-new, never used, Binford 5000 version of a dethatching rake. It was a great buy at a garden centre “yard sale.” It will be in another yard sale this year. GR, this is the best time to move the surplus tools. The first yard sales will be cluttering up the neigh-

bourhoods this weekend and starryeyed gardeners (the kind who buy dethatching rakes) will be swarming like yellow jackets to soda pop.

The next thing to do is sort those tools you will need and assess their condition.

By the way, check out your condition, too. I know that in my younger days (and I sure don’t like that phrase one teeny little bit) short handled forks and shovels were easy to use. Now, I find that I prefer a longer handle; I can bend my knees and keep my back straight. We all know that is the way it should have always been done but we also know that young people will wait until they are older to learn that lesson.

When you assess your condition, marry the results with the tasks. For example, weeding vegetables with a hoe now presents a physical challenge. Don’t be discouraged and stop growing veggies; consider using straw mulch. Change your gardening para-

digm. Can’t bend down low enough?

Raise the beds. You can do everything except turn the soil at the start of the year? Spend a couple of bucks and hire the neighbour’s kid. Think of them as mobile tools. Make them lemonade and chocolate chip cookies and then tell them how it was when you were a kid.

When you are buying new tools, it is important to make sure they fit your body. A tool that feels awkward in the store will be almost useless to you in the flowerbed and it will soon find its way to your own yard sale. best comprehensive book, by far, is Number one tool is a good pair of the Practical Guide to Gardening in gloves. Number two is something to Canada. It has everything. The next kneel on; I favour kneepads.

We’re all very different. And this Mother’s Day, instead of buying that $6 card and pouring that soggy cereal automatically, maybe it’s time to have a talk whether or not you’re speaking the same love language. Because you don’t want to invest in diamonds if what she really wants is a shelf.

from the great American songbook, to European cabaret, to contemporary, this is sure to be a sold-out performance!

Another not to be missed event is the “Love my Shoes” garden party luncheon on June 2; a taste experience only Tina Morrey of On The Side Catering in Warkworth can masterfully create! Canada’s fashion maven, Jeanne Beker is the honorary chair of this event.

Sonja Bata, founder of the Bata Shoe Museum, will showcase a selection of “celebrity shoes.”

Patrons will be treated to a delicious gourmet luncheon, wine, entertainment and a shoe

fashion show by Town Shoes, all in an exquisite private garden setting. This popular event sells out quickly every year, so reserve your ticket today.

See, hear, taste, touch, but above all, smell the fragrant lilacs along the Millennium Trail.

The Warkworth Lilac Festival promises to be a truly pleasurable experience that will evoke all the senses!

along with that perfect gift (hint: the perfect gift does not go in the bathroom and begin with an “S” and end with a “cale”).

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of gifts, largely because I spend so much of my energy trying to get rid of stuff. I’m a minimalist at heart who has the number for the Salvation Army pickup on speed dial. In fact, gifts are often a negative for me. If I receive a gift, I always feel like I have to give one back. And I am just simply awful at choosing gifts.

But please, don’t assume that just because this lovely columnist eschews diamonds that your wife doesn’t secretly desire some gems. We are all different, and this Mother’s Day, you could earn some major brownie points figuring out exactly what kind of woman your mom, or wife, is.

ENTERTAINMENT

Young Company prepares for Cabaret EMC Entertainment Stirling - The Stirling Festival Theatre’s Young Company says it has the perfect Mother’s Day gift.

The troupe is currently preparing for its upcoming Cabaret, featuring an evening of music and magic on May 11, the day before Mother’s Day, that promises to be another polished performance featuring some serious young talent.

All seats for the musical variety show are $8 and available at the theatre box office.

“When you look at the kids [involved] you just know it’s going to be a good show,” says director Nancy Garrod, who is being assisted by Jen Caddick and Kate Nicholas in overseeing the production and its six-member cast. And, she adds, the level of talent is typical of Young Company productions seen there in recent years.

Noting that it’s not just parents who are impressed by the performances provided by its members, Garrod predicts the one-night Cabaret will prove another hit.

Regular Young Company

EMC News - Brighton - The Friends of Presqu’ile Park are pleased to announce that spring is finally here! With spring comes the return of tens of thousands of smaller birds and shorebirds that migrate through Presqu’ile Provincial Park on their way north. These are some of the most beautiful and sought after birds for birdwatchers and this weekend is packed with

The Young Company will return to take the main stage at the theatre in August for a 15-show run of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Managing Director Dave Vanderlip says the company is on the lookout for enthusiastic performers. Auditions for Joseph will be held in early June with parts available for actors ages 14 to 19, as well as musicians with strong sight-reading skills. Complete information and audition packages are available by calling the theatre at 613-395-2100 or emailing <admin@stirlingKate Nicholas leads the Stirling Festival Theatre’s Young Company Cabaret cast through rehearsals last weekend in preparation for the show this Saturday, (May 11) at 7 p.m. at festivaltheatre.com>. the Eugene Burrell Hall at the Stirling Theatre.

Warblers and Whimbrels Weekend at Presqu’ile

activities designed to introduce visitors to these birds and the fine art of bird watching.

On Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19, we will start out with an ultra early bird walk for the ultra keen at 6:30 a.m. from the Lighthouse Centre.

We will also offer a repeat bird walk starting at 10 a.m. from the Lighthouse Centre.

“Warblers are often called

the ‘jewels of the forest’ for their varied and beautiful colours,” says park naturalist David Bree, “but they can be a challenge to see. Our experts can help you find and identify some of the 20-plus species likely present in the park this weekend. While bird watching is best in the early morning, there is usually some activity all day during migration and we should see birds on our

later walks as well as the early ones.”

There will be a guided walk starting from the Owen Point Trail parking lot at 2 p.m. to seek out shorebirds, the other end of the birding spectrum.

Warblers are often hidden, shorebirds stand in the open.

Warblers are brightly coloured, shorebirds are beautiful but are subtle tones of brown, grey, and

red. Shorebirds too can be a challenge to identify, but having a guide with a spotting scope will help visitors get a good look at these fascinating creatures. These are true long-distance migrants; many are travelling from southern South America to the Canadian Arctic and are only stopping a few days at Presqu’ile to refuel.

The highlight for many will be a bird banding demonstration at the Owen Point Trail parking lot from 8 a.m. until noon courtesy of Elizabeth Kellogg and Roger Frost, licensed bird banders. This will allow visitors an unprecedented chance to see birds up close and learn how and why birds are banded. This activity is weather dependent for the safety of the birds.

Dearest Grama to 19 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren and a great-great-grandson.

Predeceased by Husband Lyman, sons Gary and Wayne and grand-daughter Karen Dean.

Reta passed away peacefully with her family present at the Moira Place in Tweed, where she had resided for the past three and half years.

Reta was active in many organizations including the St. John’s United Church Women’s country unit, The Rebekah Lodge, Tweed Fair Board, Chapmans Women’s Institute and Tweed and District Horticulture Society.

In 1987 Reta became a Master Gardener through University of Guelph at age 68 and enjoyed many years of friendships while sharing her knowledge of flowers with many gardeners.

Many a person can find a little piece of Reta’s garden in their own because of her generosity for putting a shovel in her own flowerbed to give a piece to you. We were bringing her flowers from her home to the nursing home right to the last week.

A Memorial Service was held at McConnell Funeral Home, Tweed on Thursday, April 18, 2013 with Reverend William E. Perry officiating.
