By Diane Sherman EMC News - Madoc - Four years ago Moira Lake residents Tadum Neuman and Brad McNevin decided to run an ice fi shing derby.

The fi rst year they gave cash prizes. The second year they donated their gains to the San Damiano Founda-tion youth centre in Madoc and last year proceeds went to support the Moira Lake boardwalk development.

This year they had 300 participants paying $10 each and “loads of raffl e dona-tions” from 50 different supporters, with donations for the barbeque from the One Stop Butcher Shop and Foodland of Madoc.

After an initial count at the end of the day Saturday, February 16, they wrote out a big cheque for the Heart of Hastings Hospice in the amount of $3,430. In a follow-up interview on Monday, Neuman reported a second count, including last-minute ticket sales and additional funds, brought the total to $3,600.

McNevin told the crowd gathered for the fi nal rally that his daughter Meghan had wanted to do some-thing to help, so she baked

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Madoc - Be-ginning last week, Centre Hastings Council won’t be opening the fl oor to ques-tions at the end of its regular meetings, but has increased the number of possible del-egations from three to four.

Council had invited pub-lic questions in the past but enacted a bylaw last week to end the practice. At a re-cent workshop for municipal councillors and department heads held at the Madoc Arts Centre, presenters Fred Dean and Nigel Bellchamber urged against deviating from an existing agenda by allowing unscheduled public input.

So with a pair of delega-tions and a list of regular business, the session contin-ued according to the existing items remaining.

With provincial energy regulations being imposed on municipalities, Tyler Pe-ters arrived in Madoc last week to remind offi cials of their obligations in the com-ing months.

Peters is president of Ev-ergreen Energy Solutions, an engineering and energy management company based in Bancroft, who ap-peared as a delegation be-fore council last week. Pe-ters explained that there are two stages to the provincial regulations, in place since January 1, 2012, requiring municipalities, hospitals, school boards and others to conduct a review of facili-ties and provide a report on energy demand. By July 1, he says, an assessment of buildings must be conduct-ed and the reports fi led with

the Ministry of Energy. The second component, he adds, involves the creation of a longer-range energy plan, due July 1, 2014, with reas-sessments every fi ve years.

Asked by Clerk Pat Pil-grim how much such an as-sessment would cost, Peters replied that costs are based on a formula which takes into account the number of buildings and square footage, estimating a cost of $7,500 to conduct a review of fi ve to eight buildings. Costs could vary signifi cantly depend-ing on variables such as the distance between buildings.

Reeve Owen Ketcheson noted the review may fall into “tender territory” ac-cording to local municipal regulations.

A second delegation from residents Glenn Franks and

Wendell White encouraged council to do some ditch work along Franks Road, “where there have always been issues of drainage,” White says. Council agreed to request a staff report on conditions there before pro-ceeding further.

Councillor Larry Mitz was pleased to report on a recent recycling survey that put Centre Hastings at the top of the recovery statistics. While tonnage declined slightly over the nine areas last year, he says, volume was up in part ow-ing to “thin-walling” drink-ing containers. In total, 450 tonnes of material did not go to landfi ll as a result of area recycling programs. With a per capita rate of 124 kilograms per year, Centre Hastings edged out Prince

Edward County, Belleville and Quinte West to be num-ber one, Mitz says, but noted all the top recyclers provide weekly curbside pickup as well as encouraging the use of clear plastic bags. “So con-gratulations to the people of Centre Hastings for saving money while saving the en-vironment,” he says.

After considering a name change from the amalgam-ated Centre Hastings, coun-cil opted to forego the debate when it was learned the costs would be too great. Deputy-reeve Tom Simpson had been a proponent of giving residents a say in the matter while others, including Coun-cilor Shelby Kramp-Neu-man, had always opposed the idea. Council learned costs of a name change would prob-ably exceed $60,000.

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Foxboro - Officials from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 228 in Stirling arrived at Foxboro Public School last week to recognize student winners of the essay, poem and poetry competition held annually to mark Re-membrance Day.

Legion Branch Presi-dent George Jones, along with World War II veteran and 55-year Legion mem-ber Ted Morin, presented certificates to 15 students in the Primary, Junior and Intermediate categories, including a first-place fin-ish for Zone winner Alex

Wiarda.Before handing out the

awards at a special school assembly in the gymna-sium, Jones expressed his own enthusiasm for the annual competition say-ing the Youth Education Program started by the Legion in the 1920s is his favourite Legion program, “and Foxboro [Public School] has done really, really well.”

A total of 231 entries were received and judged by local members “and I know there are repeat winners,” said Jones, con-gratulating all participants for their efforts, “but to

Foxboro students honoured by Legionme, you’re all winners.”

Award recipients includ-ed Primary Colour Poster entrants Lily McEwen - 1st, Jessica Striker - 2nd and Abigail Boyd - 3rd, Junior b/w poster entrants Kendra Steele - 1st, Cole Van Schelven - 2nd and Connor May Rose Tracey - 3rd, Junior Colour Post-er entrants Hannah Smith - 1st and Justin Hampel - 2nd, Junior Poem entrants Joshua Mainse - 1st, Anna MacDonald - 2nd and Cole Van Schelven - 3rd, Intermediate b/w poster entrants Alex Wiarda - 1st and Emma Crago - 2nd, Intermediate Colour Poster winners included Amanda Rogers - 1st and Kaylee Johnston.

Morin, who is among the competition judges, also spoke briefly dur-ing the presentations and congratulated students for their efforts while Prin-cipal Steve Toffelmire thanked both visitors and students for their partici-pation and support.

First-place winners at the branch level go on to participate in the Zone competition where the winning submissions from nine different Legions are judged. Wiarda received his first-place finish at the zone level before compet-ing at the District level

which, says Jones, “is quite an accomplishment.”

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

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West Karen White, president, and Karen Neal, advocacy spokesperson for the Hast-ings Prince Edward office of the Canadian Cancer Soci-ety, addressed council about indoor tanning.

“Indoor tanning causes

cancer,” White stated. “Ul-traviolet radiation from indoor tanning equipment is a known human carcino-gen.” She said indoor tan-ning equipment can emit ultraviolet (UVR) radiation at levels five times stronger than the midday summer sun.

Information from the Canadian Cancer Society reveals that melanoma skin cancer is one of the most common forms of skin cancer in young On-tarians ages 15 to 29 and is one of the most prevent-able. Indoor tanning before the age of 35 significantly

increases a person’s risk of melanoma.

In July, 2009, the Interna-tional Agency for Research on Cancer reclassified in-door tanning devices into the highest cancer risk cat-egory.

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

The following municipal-ities in Ontario have passed indoor tanning bylaws: Oakville, Region of Peel (which includes Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga) and the city of Belleville.

“Youth are not being pro-tected,” White added. “In-door tanning beds are not following Health Canada’s voluntary guidelines.”

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

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

Indoor tanning an issue for Canadian Cancer Society

Ice fishing derby benefits Hospicecookies, which sold through-out the day, raising an addi-tional $72.

Debbie Waller, co-ordina-tor of the volunteer program for the hospice, accepted the donation with gratitude. She told the EMC the funds will be put to good use both at the Hospice House and in day-to-day service.

The big catch of the day went to Brian Wiley for a seven-pound, ten-ounce pike, with Brian Coe second (four pounds, ten ounces) and Ron Hyde third (four pounds, two ounces). Lo-gan Prevost took the kid’s class with a three-pounds, 12-ounce pike. Mikayla Wi-ley was second by only an ounce difference and third went to Carter Brown with a pound and a-half pike.

MARMORA LEGION

BINGO EVERY MONDAY NIGHT

at 7:00 p.m.


By Judy BackusEMC News - Marmora - The designated Restorative Practice Room at Marmora Senior School was the loca-tion of a February 13 Parent Engagement Night designed to illustrate how the conflict resolution process works. A group of leadership students presented a skit demonstrat-ing the system in action, with Safe Schools Child and Youth Counsellor Wendy Fouts using a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate the details of the process.

One of the slides point-ed out: “The roots of re-storative practices can be traced back to Aboriginal

Peoples of North America, the Maori of New Zealand, and peoples of Japan and Africa.” The conflict reso-lution approach focuses on “repairing the harm caused by offending behaviours, while holding the offender accountable for his or her actions.” The practice “pro-vides an opportunity for the parties directly affected to identify and address the needs which arise as a re-sult of the offending behav-iour, seek a resolution that allows for reparation in-cluding healing and reinte-gration, and prevent future harm.”

Questions used during

such a session include: “What happened? What were you thinking at the time? What have you thought about since? Who has been affect-ed by what you have done? In what way? What do you think you need to do to make things right?”

One of the goals achieved through the use of Restor-ative Practices for conflict resolution is to “help people understand how the harmful behaviour of individuals and groups impacts those around them.” It works to repair the harm and to create “an envi-ronment of trust and support within the safety of the circle and helping to build future

By Judy BackusEMC Business - Marmora Linda Kemilainen, owner of Rancho Tranquilo, located just south of town on the Stirling Rawdon Road, welcomed a crowd to an afternoon of sampling during a February 16 occasion titled Localicious. The poster advertising the mid-winter event invited all to attend, pointing to an op-portunity to support neigh-bouring farms and producers and as well, have a chance to sample a selection of the “delicious local goodies” they have to offer. Among the treats were homemade or-ganic jams, black bean brown-ies, farm fresh devilled eggs, hemp cookies, flax crackers with organic bean pesto, lo-cally roasted organic coffee, sausages, meat pies, olives, piri piri, and the list goes on. As one young visitor said af-ter sampling one of the many goodies, “Yum!”

No sooner had the doors opened than the shop was filled with visitors eager to sample the treats and admire the selection of local crafts which fill a portion of the shop.

Principal Suzanne Copeland, the school’s Child and Youth Counsellor Lynn Harris, and Superintendent Cathy Portt, gathered in a circle to discuss the process, its many merits and how it might be used in situations outside of school.

On one side of the room was a handsome, colourful and newly acquired circular rug which will no doubt see much use in the future. As Copeland explained, it was chosen to enhance the re-storative practice room and reflects the seven grandfa-ther teachings relating to courage, wisdom, truth, hon-esty, love, respect and humil-ity which tie in nicely to the board’s Growing With Char-acter Attributes.

Rancho Tranquilo was the site of an afternoon filled with tasting locally produced food. Shop owner Linda Kemilainen offered farm fresh devilled eggs to Cathy O’Grady, one of many visitors to stop by for a chance to sample the wide selection available in the attractive store. Photo: Judy Backus

By Carol SnellEMC News - Tweed - Tweed Council held its regu-lar meeting on Tuesday, Feb-ruary 12. Mayor Joanne Al-bert was on vacation. In her place, Deputy-mayor Brian Treanor led councillors Jus-tin Bray, Don DeGenova and Jim Flieler through a discus-sion of the following items.

Name that school: Coun-cillor Jim Flieler reported on the committee charged with the job of naming the new school being built in Tweed. He said the committee would make its selection before the end of the month.

Flieler told council that many suggestions had come from the community, includ-ing names based on people and on geographical features. The committee has 12 mem-bers including people from council, the public school board and the school com-munity.

In total, between 50 and 60 names were considered.

Keep on truckin’: Pub-lic Works Supervisor Allan Broek presented his report to council; he had some good and some bad news.

He reported that on Janu-

ary 28, a municipal truck that had recently been repaired developed more problems. It was leaking transmission fluid. Broek estimated the final repair bill was about $5,000. The truck was back in service on February 1.

Council questioned whether the most recent repair had any connection to an earlier one in which a new motor was installed. Broek said he had posed the same question to the two different repair places that worked on the truck’s most recent problem. He reported that both places said the transmission problem had nothing to do with the new motor.

On the positive side, Broek told council about snow re-moval during the big storm of February 7 and 8. “The guys did an excellent job,” he reported, adding that it was one of the biggest storms he could remember.

Broek also reported that roadside brushing has been completed on Colonization, Meeks, Flatrock and Geen roads. In addition, public works staff have been busy thawing culverts; ice blading;

refilling the Actinolite sand shed and working on the graders when they were not plowing or sanding.

Next steps on the bridge: In her report to council, CAO/Clerk Patti Bergeron reported that an application for repairs to Bogart Bridge could go to the next phase. The bridge is a top prior-ity for council, who will be looking for infrastructure money.

Bergeron said there was no guarantee funds would be granted from the other lev-els of government, but the fact Tweed had the go-ahead to make an application was good news in itself.

Offices are being relocated in Tweed’s municipal build-ing, reported Bergeron. The Economic Development of-fice is going to a vacant office on the main floor. The Fire Chief’s office is moving to the upper floor.

An application will be submitted this month for a grant for a summer stu-dent at the Jailhouse Tour-ist Information Centre. An application for Canada Day funding was submitted in January.

EMC Lifestyles - Valentines were the theme of the class held in the Tweed Library recently. Each class participant received a Municipality of Tweed Library bag which had been painted white on one side. With a black permanent marker, the participants designed a geometric pattern. The design was coloured in with washable markers. The design can be wiped with a damp cloth to remove the first colours and recoloured as long as washable markers are used. The class then decorated the other side of their bag with fabric, felt, foam, sparkly, and glow-in-the-dark hearts, fabric markers, fabric paint, ribbon, and lace. Creativity abounded. The class was funded by the Tweed Public Library’s New Horizons for Seniors grant and was taught by Bonnie Marentette, a retired Social Science teacher. Photo: Submitted

School name to be chosen by month endCold reception at arena:

Deputy-mayor Brian Trean-or had an observation about the Tweed Arena. It wasn’t a cold shoulder, but another part of his anatomy feeling the freeze.

“You have to go outside to warm up,” he said, laugh-ing. The rest of council re-sponded in kind. A person in attendance at the meeting said that “about 70 per cent” of arenas are heated.

Some arenas have heaters into which visitors can insert coins for a blast of heat.

One councillor helpfully suggested Treanor consider a

“heat seat or electric under-wear.”

“Do you rent that, too?” asked someone in reference to the coin-operated heaters.

One councillor said add-ing heating to the arena was “on the list” of things Tweed might consider doing in the future.

Missing link in Tweed: Now is the winter of Coun-cillor Don DeGenova’s dis-content.

“It’s downloading again,” he said in reference to news that the “connecting link” through Tweed will no lon-ger be funded by the prov-

ince.The connecting link is that

part of Highway 37 that runs through the Village of Tweed. It has not received funding for several years although it did in the past. Capital proj-ects, manhole covers and street lights were funded 100 per cent but are not now. The provincial snowplows lift their blades going through that part of Tweed, council heard.

DeGenova suggested Tweed write “letters of dis-content” and keep an ongo-ing inventory of what is be-ing downloaded.

Letters to the editor

Dear Premier Wynne,The need to repair the

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

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

What kind of government denies its citizens affordable access to the power they need to do business, turn on the lights and stay warm? By their foolish pursuit of landscape-polluting wind-mill and solar farms, the McGuinty Liberals became a serious threat to the interests

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

Not one single windmill or solar farm would ever have been, or ever will be built and operated without mas-sive government subsidies (that’s our money!) They are simply too expensive to build and run otherwise.

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

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

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

Meanwhile, foreign com-panies poured into Ontario to sell windmill and solar farm components because the McGuinty Liberals ei-ther couldn’t or wouldn’t read about the experiences in other countries and gave and are still giving away billions

of our tax dollars to subsi-dize them. They must be laughing all the way to their banks about the suckers in Ontario.

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

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

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

Yours truly,Charles W. Conn,

Hastings

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

No reply on debt

Dear Editor,It’s hard to believe that this

earth’s promise of spring, summer, fall and winter can be affected by keeping our parked cars cozy and letting the engine run, cool in sum-mer, warm in winter; it’s our right, right? Just as it’s our right to burn as much gas as we like for whatever reason; we paid for it, right? Just like Hydro, and we complain that it costs too much.

But have we really paid for it? Or will the true cost be left to our children and our children’s children? Truth is, because of climate change, our earth’s predictable pat-terns of warmth and cold, rain, snow, wind, our ever-re-turning growing seasons, are now experiencing tornados, hurricanes, killing droughts

and freak winter storms, low-ering lakes, growing deserts and rising sea levels; maybe not here, maybe not yet, but clearly in the USA, and other poorer and more desperate countries.

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

Here in Ontario, last year’s warm weather in Feb-ruary and March severely affected fruit trees that blos-somed way too early and later froze eliminating 80 per cent of the apple crop. The hot dry summer ru-ined gardens, dried up water tables for folks on wells and affected hay crops. Now hay

is scarce and expensive and some folks around here are selling off livestock and eu-thanizing horses. It’s clear that climate change does and will affect the world’s food supply. How do you put a value on the rain? We pay for our gas today, but what cost will we pay to replace our earth’s ever-renewing gifts tomorrow?

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

Canada has one of the world’s worst records for pollution and energy-effi -ciency. Where do we start to change that? Let’s sup-port Penny Vance’s recent proposal to bring in an an-ti-idling bylaw to the Mu-

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

Sincerely, Sue Vander Wey,

Denice Wilkins, John Wilson,Tweed

Challenged by climate change, let’s not idle

Dear Editor,Recently, I inquired

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

Hydro One chose not to reply.

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

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

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

OPINION

Gwynne Dyer

Letter to the editor

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wyley Canuck, aka Ken Leavens, Stirling

Wyley defends “councillors”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EMC News - Central Hastings Early Education and Childcare took preschool children to the Madoc Post Offi ce on February 13 to make a special delivery. While there, they were given a tour of the Post Offi ce and were able to personally cancel their stamps on the special letters they were mailing out to family. They also experienced what it was like to be a “bag of mail” when they were pushed around on the mail cart. The ladies at the Post Offi ce were wonderful and the children look forward to seeing them again next year. Photo: Submitted

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

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

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

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

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

Her services range from massage to CranioSacral

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

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

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

The CYBF Start-up Program requires that each

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

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

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

The Spring Sale event is return-ing to Tweed on Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and Sunday, April 28, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Tweed Hungerford Com-munity Centre.

There will be over 15,000 square feet of great deals on new merchandise from a variety of local vendors. Admission to the event and door prize draws are free but donations will be accepted for the Salvation Army Food Bank.

“The first two years have gone really well,” says Joe Erwin, Spring Sale organiz-er. “We have had a variety of local stores, home-based businesses and community groups all offering reduced inventory items and spe-cialty goods. People enjoy coming to check it out, take advantage of the sales, they like the community and so-cial aspect of the event, and many have made big item purchases including docks, boats, couches, and more.”

The Municipality of Tweed supports the Spring Sale event. “Our community has a lot of small businesses and talented individuals that create and offer great prod-

Showcasing business in the communityucts,” states Joey Walsh, Economic Development Of-ficer. “However, it can be challenging and expensive to market what you have to of-

fer. We want to help build the Spring Sale event not just for the immediate economic benefits but as a showcase of our business community.”

A wide selection of mer-chandise will be available, including outdoor furniture, home and cottage décor, ca-noes, kayaks, boats, ATVs,

antiques, outdoor apparel, baby clothes, fishing rods and tackle, electronics, jew-ellery, health and beauty products, floral and gifts and

much more. If you own a local business

or organization and want to get involved call Joe Erwin at 613-921-1176.

Music jam benefits military family centre

February 15 began the first of monthly musical jam sessions for 2013, at Arts Centre Hastings in Madoc, a benefit for the Military Family Resource Centre in Trenton. Rallying for a final set are sisters Marjory and Christine Ouellette, Doug Pack on fiddle, with Dave Charron and Cliff Andrews. Ray Armstrong is on harmonica with Kyle Reid on guitar.

traditional country tunes. Up and coming musicians Ray Armstrong and Kyle Reid sat in with harmonica and guitar.

Andrews said he and Deputy-reeve Tom Simpson had been discussing a “sup-port our troops” event for

some time. “Once the Lions Club got

under way,” said Andrews, “it was a perfect opportu-nity to get things started.”

Lions club members Ke-van Doucette and his son, Ken, hosted the canteen providing a dinner menu

for just $4 along with hot and cold drinks. He said as weather improves they will set up the barbeque and take the event outdoors.

Doucette is a retired mili-tary cook, as are both An-drews and Charron.

Designed as a family

event, some forty people of all ages attended Friday eve-ning, many dressed in red for Red Friday support our troops day.

Proceeds from the month-ly gathering go directly to the Military Family Re-source Centre in Trenton.

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville Federal Liberal leadership candidate and perceived front-runner Justin Trudeau visited Loyalist College in Belleville on Thursday, Feb-ruary 14, and brought a mes-sage of changing Canadian politics for the better to an audience of Loyalist journal-ism students and interested members of the public.

“People are responding extremely positively to this

campaign, to me, but mostly to the idea that politics can be done differently,” Trudeau said. “The idea that we can actually shape the world with our engagement through pol-itics once again.”

In a roughly 20-minute ad-dress, Trudeau eschewed pre-senting a point-by-point plan in favour of conveying a very particular message. While he did later answer questions on Quebec, education, poverty and his father, much of his

speech focused on the politi-cal landscape Canadians face in modern times, and what he and the Liberal party hope to accomplish in terms of re-engaging Canadians in the political process, who he says have grown tired of the poli-tics of division.

“We don’t particularly feel that politics too often is a worthy use of our engage-ment, our time or our ener-gies,” Trudeau said. “We’re not necessarily looking at

gaged Canadians, Trudeau said he blamed politicians for fostering cynicism in current Canadian politics, which in turn has driven people away from becoming engaged in the process. Specifi cally, he noted dividing the country between east and west, rural and urban or English to French as a strat-egy he feels is unsustainable for the future.

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

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

“Canadians, for the fi rst time are sensing a breakdown … in the very premise that shaped this country, the idea that you could come here from anywhere in the world, settle anywhere, work hard and succeed,” he said.

He added that creating a thriving, prosperous middle class is the best measure of

measuring Canada’s econom-ic success.

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

Trudeau also took the opportunity to champion the new format of the Lib-eral leadership race, where Canadians are able to vote online for the next Liberal leader. He said it shows the Liberal party’s renewed commitment to represent-ing all Canadians, rather than picking and choosing which areas of the country to represent.

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

In conclusion, Trudeau made one fi nal appeal to po-tential voters.

“Canadians know that we have to expect better from our leaders and from our candi-dates, that we have to expect better from our neighbours and our communities,” he said. “But mostly … Canadians are eager to begin to accept better from ourselves. That’s how we build a country worthy of our hopes and dreams; that’s how we shape the future that this country needs to create.”

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

Trent Conservation (LTC) at their annual meeting held recently.

Patricia Westrope, rep-resenting the Township of Cramahe, was acclaimed to her third term as vice chair.

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

following municipal rep-resentatives for 2013:

Township of Alnwick/Haldimand - Joan Stover; Municipality of Brighton - Craig Kerr, Mary Tadman; Municipality of Centre Hast-ings - Larry Mitz; Township

of Cramahe - Patricia We-strope; City of Quinte West - Jim Harrison, Jim Alyea; Township of Stirling-Raw-don - Wilfred Shier; Munici-pality of Trent Hills - Kim MacNeil, Bill Thompson.

The 2013 budget was ap-proved by the board at the meeting. Approximately 48 per cent of the $2,634,500 budget will be provided by the provincial and federal governments to co-ordi-nate programs related to the cleanup of the Bay of Quinte and the protection of sources of water used for municipal drinking water. The seven local

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

“2013 will be a challeng-ing but exciting year for Lower Trent Conservation,”

says LTC CAO Glenda Rod-gers. “As a result of our re-structuring exercise in 2012, Lower Trent Conservation is taking a fresh approach to how we deliver and market our services and programs.”

The new program divi-sions include: Watershed Science and Services; Cor-porate Services; and Con-servation Lands. Through Watershed Science & Ser-vices, LTC conducts en-vironmental monitoring, planning, permitting, flood forecasting, stewardship, education and outreach ac-tivities. The Conservation Lands program involves the management and protection of 1,500 hectares of natural areas on 17 properties.

Corporate Services in-cludes human resources, information, data and finan-cial management activities along with marketing and communications.

EMC News - Marmora - February 12 marked the an-nual celebration of Sacred Heart School’s French carni-val which is inspired by the yearly festival held in Que-bec City. Patrick Carmichael, the French teacher at the Marmora school, comment-ed at the conclusion of the very successful day, “Events like this are a great opportu-nity to help further the stu-dents’ appreciation of French and francophone culture in

Canada.” A mild, sunny day with

plenty of snow on the ground resulted in a suc-cessful carnival which in-cluded a number of events from a crazy carpet slalom, a tug of war, and a hockey shootout to the very pop-ular snow sculpture and painting contest.

Carmichael went on to say, “We had help from our great staff as well as a num-ber of parent volunteers.”

Weather co-operated for carnival

Conference Explored Opportunities for Economic Prosperity through Tourism at Calabogie Peaks Resort February 13th.

Pembroke, ON. The Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization (OHTO) brought together economic developers, destination marketers, funding partners, and government organizations for a day of collaborative discussion around strengthening the tourism industry in Ontario’s Highlands. The conference included a presentation of the Ontario Tourism Investment Strategy, the OHTO Tourism Development Partnership Program and a workshop delivered by the Tourism Café from Victoria, BC, on how to enhance the visitor experience by focusing on what the traveler wants instead of selling what a destination has to offer.

“It is no secret our rural communities have been struggling to revitalize their economies,” but Nicole Whiting, Manager of OHTO stated “momentum is building around exploring ways to support growth in the tourism and hospitality sector. More and more of our community leaders understand the significant economic impact a visitor has on a community both in terms of their immediate visit, but also in terms of the potential to convert that visitor into a resident or business owner. We were very excited to provide a forum to learn about what we need to do as a destination to become more appealing to the visitor.” Attendees were surprised to learn this may not mean investing more in advertising. Nicole explains, “Competition in the tourism industry is fierce and successful destinations are not necessarily the ones that have the biggest marketing budgets. These destinations understand the importance of creating positive memorable experiences for the consumer and this “experience” is a combination of their stay accommodations, the activities they take part in with operators, right down to the service they receive at a local gas station. If the visitor leaves feeling valued and has experienced something truly unique, not only will they be back, but they will be sharing their stories with their friends and family.”

The conference provided attendees with the information they need to understand how they can work together collaboratively to ensure their communities meet the needs of the visitor. Sources of support available to organizations looking at developing programs around destination development were also shared.

The OHTO is a not-for-profit organization mandated by the Province of Ontario to increase tourism within the counties of Haliburton, Lanark, and Renfrew and portions of Frontenac, Hastings, and Lennox and Addington. The OHTO works in collaboration with eight sub-regional marketing organizations, tourism agencies and authorities including: Algonquin Nation, Bancroft & District Chamber of Commerce, ComfortCountry.ca, Haliburton Highlands, Lanark County Tourism, Land O’ Lakes Tourist Association, Ottawa Valley Tourist Association, and the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association.

By Peter R. SnellEMC Entertainment - Tweed - For educators, music and theatre unlocks creativity, promotes co-op-

eration and teamwork and builds self-esteem.

For the children at St. Carthagh’s Catholic School in Tweed it’s just plain fun.

On Friday, February 13, students from all grades got together to present their production, Come Fly With Me, to a full house. Bright

Come Fly With Me thrills parents teachers and studentscostumes, sophisticated lighting and a disciplined group of student musicians and actors made for an excit-ing afternoon at the school.

The production was co-directed by Marc Todesco, music director of Jija Pro-ductions, and Wendy Proc-tor, artistic director of Quinte Stage Productions. The two have been work-ing with students at St. Carthagh’s over the past two weeks.

Michelle McGrath, prin-cipal of St. Carthagh’s, said she was delighted that the Quinte-area theatre and musical production compa-nies were able to bring their programs to the school. As well as building a creative atmosphere in the school, McGrath said the program fulfi lls the media literacy “strand” that provincial ed-ucation regulations require.

Media Literacy is one of four broad areas students need to understand in their study of language skills. According to the Ontario Curriculum for Grades 1 to 8, such work develops “life-long learning skills that will enable them to better under-stand themselves and oth-ers, unlock their potential as human beings, fi nd fulfi lling careers and become respon-sible world citizens.”

For the students, the ex-perience of acting and play-ing music require work and concentration, but to any observer, they enjoy it hugely.

For such numbers as Cir-cle of Life, teacher Christine MacPherson’s Junior and Senior Kindergarten stu-dents work from the famil-iarity of the fi lm The Lion King. They circle on and off the stage in wild cos-tumes with jungle motifs, clutching soft toy tigers and lions. Multicoloured gobo-style patterns (lights with templates that swirl in dots and shapes) bathe them in a surreal glow as they hold the animals they represent above their heads.

Another number from the musical Cats is done un-der black light, with lots of luminous costumes creating eerie shapes in the dark.

Keeping the rhythm to-gether for these pieces are 29 students—22 boys and seven girls—who handle a variety of rhythm instru-ments from tiny djembes to upturned plastic garbage cans. The latter are Todes-co’s specialty. He developed bucket drumming four years ago through work with a board principal, Rob-ert Murphy.

“Bucket drumming al-lows students to develop more visual, faster learn-ing,” says Todesco.

He watches his students closely making small sug-gestions to his troupe of drummers as they cluster to one side of the stage watch-ing their director for cues.

Todesco feels that teach-ers are an integral part of the program. They stay with

their class as he works with them, picking up skills they can use in the classroom af-ter Todesco has moved on.

Not all pieces are from popular musicals. One, called No Perfect Wings, was cre-ated by Wendy Proctor and involves full costumes. Proc-tor says other pieces, such as Don’t Laugh at Me, are built using improvisation with the students. Proctor has been working in schools in the area for nine years, but has 25 years of school perfor-mance experience in various parts of the province.

To the side of the stage, Cecil Proctor (Wendy’s husband) takes obvious de-light in handling the vari-ous technical issues. Light-ing controls and computer monitors surround him. Cecil Proctor builds all the sets and develops the lights and sounds for productions.

For the educators, the production is a perfect amal-gamation of “the construc-tion of meaning through the combination of several media ‘languages’—imag-es, sounds, graphics, and words,” to quote the pro-vincial curriculum guide.

For the students, it’s an exciting time and a chance to exercise some skills that might not be revealed through more traditional classroom work.

For the parents: well, as the children danced across the stage, there was lots of beaming and cheering. And that’s as it should be.

EMC News - Tweed - The Kiwanis Club of Tweed and Gateway Community Health Centre (GCHC) are pleased to announce their ongoing partnership and support for a youth com-mittee, comprised of high-school-age students from the Municipality of Tweed. This committee will pro-vide a forum for youth to discuss how they can have a role and a voice in the local community. GCHC facilitates the youth com-mittee, while the Kiwanis Club acts as the sponsor and has presented Gateway with $1,000 toward the de-velopment of the initiative this year.

The youth committee will meet monthly to develop projects that will benefi t the community and empower local youth. This youth-

driven initiative provides members with a platform to discuss thoughts, ideas, needs and challenges that are central to the lives of youth in Tweed for the pur-poses of working together toward common goals.

Some of the members of the newly formed youth committee presented to the Tweed Kiwanis on Thursday, December 6. This presenta-tion detailed the results of their fi rst Youth Forum held on Saturday, November 3.

The youth committee is open to all high-school-age students from the Munici-pality of Tweed who would like to participate. Any stu-dents having an interest should contact Doug Ste-venson at Gateway Com-munity Health Centre, at 613-478-1211 or <[email protected]>.

By Bill FreemanEMC Entertainment - Havelock - Jamie Spurvey is returning to one of his fa-vourite towns in Canada, the place where his climb to fame began.

The 23-year-old virtuoso accordion and guitar player with a refreshingly simple take on life and music who dazzled audiences twice at the Havelock Country Jamboree and won the hearts and top marks of judges at the 2011 Havelock Idol Showdown re-

turns to Havelock for a March 2 gig in the upstairs hall at the Royal Canadian Legion that will certainly draw a crowd.

The former Canadian soldier has certainly made his mark after stunning the Havelock Idol audience in 2011.

By Judy BackusEMC Sports - Marmora The well-supported and very popular Curl for Kids, a long-standing tradition held annually for the past 20 years (except for last year when the ice was taken out early) at the Marmora and Area Curling Club, took place on February 16 with great results. Fifty-six curlers age six and up, arrived from points near and far for a day on the ice where they enjoyed two six-end games, a potluck lunch, draws for a number of prizes, a 50/50 draw and a curl to the button compe-tition. In addition to curl-ers from area towns, there was a student visiting from Switzerland and two from Germany.

Organized as in the past by club member Myrtle Barry, the funds raised dur-ing the day are targeted for Camp Oochigeas (or Ooch as it is informally called). The camp, located on Lake Rosseau in the Musko-kas, operates both summer and winter, providing a var-ied outdoor camping expe-rience for children who are dealing with cancer with approximately 800 children attending the camp annu-ally at no cost to their fami-lies. An added benefit of the program is that the campers can receive ongoing chemo-therapy treatment onsite.

At the end of what Barry referred to as a “great day”, a total of $1,820 had been raised for the camp. The winning team was com-prised of Ron Ross, Jean and John Croskery and Sandy Ramier.

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

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

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

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

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

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

After graduating from high school in Goose Bay, Newfound-land, he joined the Cana-dian Armed Forces where he served for three years before receiving an honourable dis-charge and set his sights on a musical career.

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

Pike only derby attracted almost 100 anglersBy Judy BackusEMC Sports - Marmora - Crowe Lake was a destination point for fishermen anxious to wet their lines in the hope of hooking a pike during the February 16 Crowe Lake Wa-terway Association’s annual “Catch ‘em and Keep ‘em” pike only ice fishing derby. Organized by Robert and Norma Taylor, the popular event attracted anglers of all ages from points both near and far. Timed to coincide with the Ontario Family Li-cence Free Fishing Winter Weekend, the day-long com-petition resulted in 68 adults and 30 youths hooking nine

Juvenile Blues fall to EnnismoreEMC Sports - Stirling The most senior of the Stirling and District Minor Hockey Association (SD-MHA) teams weren’t alone when they bowed out of the play-offs last weekend but for some it will be the last season in a Stirling uni-form.

The Juvenile Blues had a second round draw against a tough Ennismore squad and, with a pair of losses last weekend at the hands of a skilled opposition, were knocked out of the play-offs in three straight games.

“I was happy that we had a Juvenile team here this year,” says Blues Head Coach Dave Brandt, “and next year will be even a big-ger challenge as our num-bers decrease in this age group.”

The Blues entered the

pike weighing a total of 26.75 pounds.

Prize for the heaviest fish, at four pounds twelve ounces, went to Alex Christopoulos who won an $80 gift cer-tificate redeemable at Chris’s Live Bait. The longest fish, at 28 inches, was caught by Trevor Lewis who was also presented with a similar cer-tificate.

The Taylors expressed thanks to Chris’s Live Bait, Lucky Strike, Ontario Federa-tion of Anglers and Hunters, and the Ministry of Natu-ral Resources. Thanks also went to Andrew White for supplying the heated trailer which was used for registra-tion and weigh in, as well as fellow CLWA members, and “the anglers from Madoc to

Pickering and many points in between who enjoyed a beau-tiful, cold winter day out on the Crowe!”

Taylor also noted that the pike seemed to be elusive at this derby and invited all to try their luck at the next seventh annual CLWA sum-mer pike only catch ‘em and keep ‘em derby coming up ini July.

weekend down 1 - 0 in a best-of-five series against Ennismore and Brandt ad-mits his players had their work cut out for them in the quarter-finals “against a very talented team.”

Despite a strong showing at home Friday night, the Blues dropped a 3 - 1 deci-sion before their Sunday match-up where the Blues travelled west only to be out-gunned 7 - 1.

EMC Sports - The Danford Construction Novice Griz-zlies took on the Stirling Blues in the second round of the play-offs on Sunday, February 3, in Marmora. The Grizzlies wasted no time in the opening game as they put on an offensive clinic for the hometown crowd that resulted in a 7 - 1 final for the young Grizzlies. Scor-ing were Connor Hunt (4), Kellen Dostaler (2) and Tyler Sawkins. Assists were pro-vided by Heiden Leonard (2), Phoenix Smith (2), Nick Oke, Ben Danford and Dostaler.

On Saturday, February 9, the Grizzlies travelled to Stirling for game two. The Blues changed their game plan for this engagement and they were determined to steal a win from the high-flying Grizzlies. Although shadowed throughout the game, Grizzlies captain Con-nor Hunt found the back of the net twice to give his team a 2 -1 lead going into the third period. The final frame saw rookie defensive sensa-tion Ben Danford create sev-eral key turnovers in the de-fensive zone and then skate the puck deep into the Blues end to fire on the Stirling goaltender. Blues goalie Wil-lem Parliament was solid be-tween the pipes throughout all three periods. Anna Belle Phillips was equal to the task as she made three impor-tant saves late in the game. Phillips’ only blemish was a

shot by Blues sniper Kieran Ellis that found its way to the back of the net after a scramble in front of the goal. With less than a minute left in the third, assistant captain Kellen Dostaler won a battle along the boards and ended any hope Stirling had for a comeback as he buried a shot in the open net.

Game three took place Wednesday, February 13, in Madoc where the Blues dem-onstrated their resilience and determination once again, this time with their backs against the wall. Matt Mus-clow scored early in the game for Stirling and judging by the pace of the first period, the Grizzlies would have their work cut out for them. Down 1 - 0, Kellen Dostaler took a pass from Delaney Stoltz and buried a shot be-hind the Blues netminder. Centre Connor Hunt fol-lowed up with a goal of his own giving the Grizzlies a 2 - 1 lead going into the third.

In the final frame, Dostal-er and Musclow once again exchanged tallies setting up an intense final few minutes. Late in the period, captain Hunt once again stepped up for his team and fired home a shot to give the Grizzlies a 4 - 2 victory and a berth in the next round of the play-offs. Centre Hastings now awaits the winner of the Huntsville/South Muskoka series.

Figure skaters prepare for season’s Fire and Ice

Sarah Allen, Isabella Rosborough, Natasha Moore, Misty Goulet, Anissa Neilsen and Emily Parliament were among the representatives of the Stirling Figure Skating Club in recent competitions. Skaters are now readying for the March 24 Fire and Ice Show.

EMC Sports - Stirling - With the end of the season approaching, members of the Stirling Figure Skating Club (SFSC) have much to celebrate, including the re-turn of national competitor, and recent top ten finisher in the 2013 Canadian Na-tionals, Peter O’Brien.

O’Brien, a long-time member of the Stirling club, is one of the feature per-formers in the Fire and Ice show scheduled for March 24 at the Stirling arena. The skating extravaganza will also include the club’s 137 members ranging in age from three to 18.

In a note to the club O’Brien says, “missing the majority of my competitive season was a definite disap-pointment but I received great support from my ‘skat-ing family’ and friends. This

encouragement really helped motivate me and I ended up having the two best perfor-mances of my career at the 2013 Canadian Tire National Figure Skating Champion-ships in Mississauga.”

Current SFC skaters re-cently participated in the second annual Shooting Star Interclub, held in Frank-ford at the end of January. The competition featured 12 clubs showcasing their skaters’ skills, with points awarded based on placement in the competition.

Helping Stirling to a sev-enth-place finish were Ain-sley Coens, Alexis Stewart, Amber Orr, Anissa Neilsen, Courtney LaPalm, De-siree Dracup, Emily Parlia-ment, Faith Mitchell, Grace Duncan, Hannah Strecker, Isabella Rosborough, Jac-queline Foley, Julia Card,

Julianna Cooney, Kira Det-lor, Leeann Duncan, Mack-enzie Lapierre, Mackenzie Stewart, Madeleine Henry, Madelyn Faye Thompson, Madison Myers, Meaghan Veen, Megan Forestall, Mia Hobson, Misty Goulet, Natasha Moore, Raylind Pierce, Sarah Allen, Shelby Holmes, Sydney Moorman, Taylor Lapierre and Victoria Cooney.

Skaters from Stirling also participated in the Prescott invitational in January with Shelby Holmes, Mackenzie Lapierre, Amber Orr, Taylor Lapierre and Madison My-ers all placing very well in their respective events.

Skaters participating at the EOSIC competition in Whitby included Taylor Lapierre, Madison Myers, Courtney LaPalm and Kira Detlor.

Novice Grizzlies have Stirling feeling bluetheir quarter-final series on Friday, February 15, with a road game against Baltimore. The Grizzlies came out with a 4 - 3 victory, to take an early lead in the series. Game two was held in Marmora on Sunday and the road team once again came out on top, as Baltimore skated away with a close 2 - 1 victory to tie the series at one game apiece.

Game three will be held on Thursday, February 21, in Baltimore with game four taking place in Madoc on Saturday at noon.

The Atom “A” Tim-Br Mart Grizzlies hosted the

Mariposa Lightning in Ma-doc on Saturday, February 16, after dropping a 6 - 4 de-cision in the opening game. The Grizzlies came out and dominated play in the first period and didn’t look back as they tied the series at one with a 3 - 1 victory. Game three in Mariposa on Sunday had much the same feel, as the Grizzlies jumped out to a quick 5 - 0 lead and then cruised to a 5 -2 victory. Game four will be held in Madoc on Saturday, Febru-ary 23, at 2:30 p.m. Game

5 if necessary is in Mariposa on Sunday.

The Ontario Truss and Wall Peewee AE Grizzlies continued their round-robin series on Friday, February 15, against Mariposa with a 5 - 1 win. Up next is a match against Durham in Ma-doc on Friday, February 22, at 7:30 p.m. With two games remaining, both against the Durham Crusaders, the Griz-zlies need one win to move into the semi-final round.

The McConnell Funeral Home Peewee “A” Griz-

zlies hosted the Brock Wild in the opening game of the quarter-final series on Fri-day, February 15, in Madoc. Although the score was tight heading into the third period, the Grizzlies came out with a 4 - 1 win. On Sunday the Grizzlies hit the road to play game two and dominated with a 5 - 0 victory, putting them up two games to zero in the series. Game three is scheduled for Friday, Febru-ary 22, in Marmora at 7 p.m.; if necessary game four will be in Sunderland on Saturday.

Horses help people become stronger emotionally

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“This is super exciting,” Lisa says.

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

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

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

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

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

More information is

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

International Polar Bear Day is coming soon

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Awaiting freeze-up near Churchill, Manitoba.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Civic Awards.Moorey now has a staff of

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

In fact catering a wedding

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

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

“It was the show’s producer

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

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

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

Moorey has been cooking since she was very young.

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

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

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

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

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

She was a skin and body

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

are,” she saysThe turbines emit a loud

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even pets suffered, she said.

“One horrible weekend when the vibration was very

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

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

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

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

“When you hear about the

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

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

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