By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood Protests and direct action could be utilized by people battling the arrival of indus-trial wind turbines to the area.

“Idle No More are not the only people who can get at-tention by blocking a high-way,” Hastings resident and Norwood United Church minister Don McLean said during an anti-wind turbine information meeting at the Norwood Town Hall which drew a large crowd of resi-dents from Asphodel-Nor-wood, Trent Hills and other parts of Northumberland and Peterborough Counties.

Northumberland-Quinte West Conservative MPP Rob Milligan also spoke about the “extremely fl awed” Green Energy Act.

The meeting included distinguished pharmacist and wind turbine health ex-pert Carmen Krogh, City of

Kawartha Lakes Councillor Heather Sauble and Barbara Ashbee-Lormand who has become a champion of people who’ve become ill living near wind turbines. Ashbee and her husband were forced out of their Shelburne-area home after falling ill when wind turbines were built nearby.

Local residents are con-cerned about the proposed 5.4 MW, three turbine Wind Farm Collie Hill project west of Hastings and the prospect of other developments that would fi nd the rolling hills of Northumberland and the proximity of the Trent River and Rice Lake attractive for wind generation.

Each of the Collie Hill tur-bines will be nearly 500 feet tall.

McLean says he’s “offend-ed” by the proposal and what it could mean for the people of Asphodel-Norwood and Hastings.

“With all due respect sit-

ting in the library in West-wood [and poring over Wind Hill Collie Farm documents] is not going to get attention,” McLean said.

“We need to mobilize public opinion. This meeting might not mean anything if you don’t go and talk to your neighbour tomorrow. We need to talk to the people who aren’t here,” he said.

“You have to go at it from every angle you can,” Sauble told the audience. Sauble’s career as a City of Kawartha Lakes (CKL) councillor was launched by her involvement as a “quite enraged” new resi-dent protesting three major wind farm proposals in Man-vers totalling 30 turbines.

The municipality appeared unaware of what was about to happen but public meet-ings produced an effective grassroots protest movement which has become as knowl-edgeable as the developers and utilizes every tool avail-

Dance at Hillcrest highlights antibullying tooBy Sue DickensEMC News - Campbell-ford - On Valentine’s Day at Hillcrest Public School in Campbellford, students learned how to give back and learned about anti-bullying.

A photo booth was set up by students outside the gym-nasium. It was created with the help of the school’s par-ent council. Love, tolerance, loyalty, unique and kindness are just some of the words painted on the display set up in the hallway. Students were invited to have their photo taken in front of the display which featured a pink back-ground. Pink is the colour associated with anti-bullying events. In fact there is a pink day at most schools.

The one at Hillcrest will be held February 27. Students are encouraged to wear pink on that day.

For Grade 8 student Mck-ayla Hart, the day was about getting the message across. She and two fellow class-mates, Brianna Shelley and Abby Godden, created the photo booth.

“The parent council came up with most of the words. We were mixing the paint. It was fun,” said Hart.

“The Valentine’s dance today is going to bring all of this message through,” she added.

All students participated in the event, with the younger students holding their dance in the morning and the older students in the afternoon.

Students were asked to pay a donation of $3 to attend the dance or if they brought a food item for the food bank then they would have to pay only $2.

The money raised is going toward the Grade 8 gradua-tion in the spring.

Last year the government passed the Accepting Schools Act which creates legal obli-gations for school boards and schools to prevent bullying, issue tougher consequences for bullying, and support stu-dents who want to promote understanding and respect for everyone.

It will require boards and schools to: develop a bullying prevention and intervention plan with the school commu-nity and make it available to

Protests possible as anti-wind turbine concerns grow

able to them. The most recent move was a 15 - 2 vote by CKL council to ask the prov-ince to reject the wind turbine proposal outright.

Council also passed its own renewable energy approvals process and started “look-ing at every single project through a planning line.”

“Manvers has taken [it] to heart and really ramped it up,” Sauble said. “It has defi nitely made it easier for me and all of my council to say we have to do something about it.”

Public protest is important but so is raking through regu-lations and details with a fi ne tooth comb, she stressed.

“Delay, delay, delay,” said Sauble.

“Political pressure is very important [but] you have to make a rational argument … We have a huge council and the fact that they’ve been so supportive is a credit to the

2 Northwest EMC - Thursday, February 21, 2013

By Sue DickensEMC News - Trent Hills - Taxes will be going up, how-ever, the proposed budgeted levy for 2013 for Trent Hills will see a slight increase over-all.

The first draft of the 2013 budget was scheduled to be presented by staff to Trent Hills council at the end of the regular meeting held this past Tuesday at the Campbellford Library. This was the first op-portunity for council to re-view the budget numbers.

The proposed levy increase is 3.2 per cent plus an increase for the recreation centre rede-velopment which when com-bined equals a 3.9 per cent increase overall.

This compares to last year’s levy which saw an increase of

2.95 per cent plus the recre-ation centre redevelopment which brought the levy to a 3.77 per cent increase.

The proposed 2013 bud-get of $16,543,660 com-pares to last year’s budget of $16,301.603 and the 2011 budget of $15,654,653.

The assessment growth generated an additional $119,369 and has been fac-tored into the 2013 increases.

This means that for a residential assessment of $100,000 taxes will be $1,422.31, a net increase of $7.50 annually.

This number compares to $1,414.81 in 2012 and $1,454.15 in 2011.

The multi-residential as-sessment on $100,000 will be $2,894.05, an increase of

$27.57.Using the same $100,000

assessment figure commercial taxes will go up to $3,323.86, an increase of $25. Industrial taxes increase by $43.40 over last year and farmland in-creases $1.88 to $355.58.

This budget presentation is for the municipal portion only, however, estimates for the (Northumberland) coun-ty portion and the education portion are included for com-parison purposes. They have not yet been finalized.

Included in the budget presentation was a note that property assessment values in 2013 reflect the full value of the property as it was as-sessed on January 1, 2102.

In 2013 a full reassessment was completed throughout

the province by Municipal Property Assessment Corpo-ration (MPAC) and the new assessment values being used for 2013 calculations are based on a phase-in of 25 per cent of the difference in assessment from 2008 to 2012.

In the 2013 proposed bud-get the library board budget forward to council shows a cost to ratepayers of $455,398. This is a 2.3 per cent increase over 2012.

Last year the library board saw a 6.5 per cent increase in part because its funding for IT support has ended.

The water and sewer bud-gets and rates for the three communities in Trent Hills have already been approved for 2013 allowing the mu-nicipality to achieve a bal-

anced water and sewer rate structure.

For the typical residen-tial customer in Hastings, Campbellford and Wark-worth the water and sewer rates are now the same, $260.03 billed every two months. Some expenses that have had an impact on this year’s operation budget are increased policing costs, wa-ter source protection legisla-tion implementation costs and increased insurance costs. The total increase in the overall levy is $498,382.

The largest items in the 2013 draft budget are $4,887,849 for wages, $2,929,150 for policing and $933,484 for utili-ties and fuel. Municipal taxes are slated to bring in

$10,109,717 this year. There was a short oppor-

tunity for public questions at the end of the meeting.

The draft budget (num-bers only) has been posted on the Trent Hills web site <www.trenthills.ca>.

The public presentation of the final draft will hap-pen March 5 at the Hastings Civic Centre at 6 p.m.

This will include changes made at the first meeting.

Following the March 5 meeting, the final budget with explanations will be posted online.

On March 19 the final budget with the changes approved will be presented to council for final consid-eration and passing of the bylaw.

First draft of the 2013 budget presented

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbell-ford - Reaching a balanced budget for the 2013-2014 fiscal year will be a challenge

for Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH).

Hospital administration is working toward a balanced budget and has identified sav-

Health of the hospital budget under scrutinyings in the range of $360,000 to $492,000 to offset ongoing cost pressures.

“We are planning on put-ting a number of initiatives into play to close this antici-pated gap,” said Brad Hilker, CEO and president.

These measures include the creation of a service agreement with other health care providers, the anticipa-tion of revenue created with the installation of solar panels on the hospital’s roof and the installation of an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) at the hospital.

Some of the issues have included delays in the open-ing of the paid parking lot which is expected to gener-ate $26,000 in annual rev-enue, delays in replacing scopes which meant repair costs amounting to $20,000, a CUPE RPN arbitration award at a cost of $20,000 and more.

To offset the expenses there has been a reduction

in administration, a delay in replacement of staff vacancies reducing the payroll some-what, vendor contract savings as they are renegotiated and plans for a one-time tax re-bate worth $51,000 net.

All of this at a time when, “the demand for hospital ser-vices is increasing every year, while the funds available to support the delivery of these services are not keeping up,” said Hilker. “We need to pro-vide better value, better qual-ity, better access,” he added.

Hilker also noted that, “any increases in funding received by the LHIN (Local Health Integration Network) or the ministry are modest at best and are by no means covering the continued rising cost of inflation.”

One of the areas where there are a lot of unknowns is quality based procedures.

“We’ve worked hard to come up with efficiencies and improvements in our organi-

zation to make those proce-dures less costly. But we don’t know what the funding will be per procedure yet,” said Hilker.

Hospitals currently receive one lump-sum payment called a global budget, which is based on a hospital’s pre-vious budget, instead of on a hospital’s performance.

The new patient-based funding model would fund patients (money would fol-low the patient) instead of the institutions but the details have not yet been finalized.

The hospital has to contin-ue its budget planning process in this climate.

“There is also a risk that long-term disability insur-ance is going to go up con-siderably,” noted Hilker, who also talked about the hospi-tal’s “aging infrastructure.”

He complimented staff and physicians. “They are to be commended for doing all that they can do to provide better

value, access to care and qual-ity care to our patients.”

“We know that the OR [operating room] has been working very diligently to improve the efficiency of the OR by bookings and turn-over of cases. It has been able to move the same number of cases done in the five days to about three days,” he said.

Staff costs make up about three-quarters of the budget.

Responding to the presen-tation, Rosemarie Peikes, co-chair of the hospital’s auxiliary, commented, “One of the chal-lenges is keeping the staff in-volved and motivated so they don’t see this as a negative process that is going to impact them and affect the quality of their life in the hospital be-cause I think that’s a potential when you start looking at cost savings, you can potentially affect morale.”

Hilker said there will be continued efforts to close the financial gap.

EMC News - Campbell-ford - Students interested in the air they breathe, the wa-ter they drink and the land they live on will be keen on entering the 2013 Caring for our Watersheds contest.

Geared for Grade 8 to 9 stu-dents, individuals interested in the environment can sub-mit their ideas to the Caring for our Watersheds program for a chance to win $1,000 for themselves and $1,000 for their school. Plus, an ad-ditional $10,000 in funding is also available to help imple-ment the contest ideas.

Agrium Inc. (TSX and NYSE: AGU) and Lower

Trent Conservation (LTC) are proud to bring this inter-national competition to On-tario.

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

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

cial Projects Co-ordinator. “Anytime we can engage and involve our younger genera-tion in environmental con-versation benefits us all. They are actively seeking ways to make our communities sus-tainable for future genera-tions and we are here to help them.”

The entry deadline for stu-dents living in the Lower Trent watershed region and attend-ing school in the Campbell-ford - Brighton area is March 25, 2013. The top six finalists will be judged by the commu-nity and the winners will be announced April 25, 2013.

Several years ago, Lower

Trent Conservation was ap-proached by former Camp-bellford resident and Agrium CEO Mike Wilson to co-ordi-nate an Ontario version of the competition. After launching the program in Campbellford in 2011, Brighton schools were approached to partici-pate in 2012 with the sup-port of an Agrium Advanced Technologies office located in Brighton. Wilson has person-ally donated the prize money for the competition.

Northwest EMC - Thursday, February 21, 2013 3

EMC News - Trent Hills The Trent Hills and Dis-trict Chamber of Com-merce is still looking for sponsorship for the new Skilled Trades award as one of more than a dozen in this year’s Celebration of Excellence.

Nominations for the an-nual awards are well under way and the deadline is Friday, March 22, at 5 p.m.

A sponsor is also need-ed for the Health, Well-ness and Personal Services award.

The new Skilled Trades award is given to a skilled tradesperson, contractor or company showing excellence in one or more of the follow-ing categories: trade skills development, participation in an apprenticeship pro-gram, quality, craftsmanship, outstanding customer ser-vice, excellence in innovation in product or service, or mar-ket/product development.

The other awards are:

By Sue DickensEMC News - Trent Hills - Zoning amendment ap-plications put forward by the Campbellford Hospital Foundation were approved by Trent Hills council and the fees waived.

Three applications were received and in each case the $900 fee was waived. The $2,700 saved will be put to-ward the purchase of scopes for the hospital. So far $122,000 has been raised.

Last fall the fi fth annual Angels of Care campaign was begun with a goal of raising funds to invest in four colonoscopes and two gastroscopes. The price tag, $200,000.

The three applications from the Foundation dealt with property they own on Booth and Isabella Streets.

In his report to council Jim Peters, director of plan-ning stated the purpose of the proposed zoning bylaw amendment is to allow for a restructuring of the prop-erty currently owned by the Foundation, which houses the Campbellford Health Centre.

As Peters explained, the lands in question are mainly lands attached to 109 Booth Street.

Lands from this property will be added to the park-ing lot used by the health centre. Other lands will be separated from this prop-erty to form a new separate lot. This lot has the potential to be redeveloped as a multi-residential property. The house and remaining lands will form a new separate property to be sold.

Currently all these lands are zoned as Community Facility, because of owner-ship by the Foundation. The zoning process will place each parcel in a zone desig-nation that refl ects its exist-ing use or proposed redevel-opment.

The end result is that the parking lot will remain with the existing health centre and retain the Community Facility zoning.

The existing multi-unit residential dwelling located at 109 Booth Street will be rezoned from Community Facility to Residential 2.

The vacant parcel of land being created at the corner of Booth Street and Isa-bella streets will be rezoned from Community Facility to Residential 3, to allow for a multi-unit residential de-

Water leak causes boil advisory By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - A large water leak at a pri-vate building in Hastings was the cause of a signifi-cant drop in water pres-sure that disrupted the village’s water system and forced public health offi-cials and the municipality to issue a boil water advi-sory for Hastings and the nearby Trentview Estates subdivision in Asphodel-Norwood.

The municipality’s on-call water system opera-tor was notified of a prob-lem around 12:15 a.m. Saturday and immediate-ly went to the Hastings plant to investigate .

When he realized how serious the situation was

phoned his supervisor.Whenever there is a

large pressure drop in a water system the stan-dard protocol is to inform the Ministry of Health.

“The drop in [water] pressure creates a po-tential backflow,” Hast-ings ward Councillor and Deputy-mayor Bob Crate explained.

The Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge Dis-trict Health Unit (HKPR) and provincial Ministry of the Environment Spills Action Centre were noti-fied around 3 a.m., Crate said.

The problem affected all of Hastings and Trent-view Estates and firefight-ers hand delivered notices

to every home.Officials don’t know

how much water was lost but Trent Hills CAO Mike Rutter says that water haulers bringing water from Campbellford to Hastings drew more than 550,000 cubic metres of water.

Staff began looking for the source of the leak at 2:30 a.m. and located it at around 4:50 a.m., Rutter said.

Once the leak was fixed the municipality was able to send out its third press release on the develop-ing situation at 9:03 a.m. which continued to ad-vise people in Hastings and Trentview Estates that water “should not be

used for drinking, making infant formula, cooking, making ice or brushing teeth until boiled at a roil-ing boil for one minute” even though the problem had been “identified, iso-lated and stopped.”

The water was still not safe to use for showering or hand washing, health officials said.

Crate says they were able to get the pressure and flows back to normal once municipal staff got to work on the source of the leak but in order to have the boil order lifted they had to have “posi-tive tests taken 24 hours apart.”

It takes 48 hours to get the results back from the

lab and staff submitted its first samples Saturday, he added.

The municipality con-tinued to follow testing protocols throughout the weekend.

Residents were “very understanding” after learning of the situation and praised municipal staff for the way they handled the emergency, Crate said.

“Thanks to everyone for jumping in to spread the word,” he said, citing by name Loraine Wilson who puts together the online Hello Hastings newsletter for the Hast-ings Revitalization Asso-ciation and “all the Face book folks.”

All advisories were posted on the Trent Hills web site. The HKPR also issued statements.

Rutter was “extremely proud of the response by our fire department, our emergency control group and our counterparts in Asphodel-Norwood.”

It was not necessary for the municipality to call a state of emergency but they still received excellent guidance from Joanne Kropf Hedley of Emergency Measures Ontario.

Council was expected to review the events in Hastings during its regu-lar meeting this week. Municipal staff will also do its own review.

Dental bus wins praise from councillors

The Peterborough County City Health Unit’s mobile dental van continues to reach out to eligible youth and adults across the county. It will be at the Havelock Community Centre February 23 and 28. Photo: Bill Freeman

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - One of the reasons the Pe-terborough County-City Health Unit wanted to launch a mobile dental clin-ic was to “reduce inequali-ties and improve access to oral health care” across the county, says Sarah Tanner, supervisor of the PCCHU’s oral health team.

“Because of the rural nature of the county we felt this would help reduce inequalities. Most of the county area doesn’t have

dental services; there’s very little of it available,” Tanner said during a talk with Asphodel-Norwood councillors.

The bus was launched a year ago with its first stop in Havelock.

The program, along with the health unit’s perma-nent Peterborough clinic, is funded by Healthy Smiles Ontario and provides treat-ment and preventative care to youth 17 and under who are members of a house-hold with an adjusted fam-

ily net income of $20,000 a year or less and don’t have access to any form of dental coverage. Adults receiving social assistance may also be eligible for free dental services at the clinic.

“This is a public health model that allows us to work throughout our com-munity. It allows us to do many things together and reach as many people as possible,” Tanner said.

The PCCHU is one of six in Ontario operating mo-bile clinics. The 39.5-foot-long, $513,000 bus has two functioning treatment rooms and is fully acces-

sible.“Everything you’ll find

in the bus is what you’ll find in your average dental office. It’s very modern,” Tanner said. “Kids really like it there.”

“We wanted an environ-ment that was very accessi-ble,” she added. The health unit also wanted a program that gives people a choice; eligible clients can use the services of a regular dental office if they choose, Tan-ner noted.

The other key is perma-nence, Tanner said.

“We wanted something that’s ongoing.”

In the past year the mo-bile and permanent clin-ics served 978 individuals. The PCCHU’s in-school screening program for Ju-nior and Senior Kinder-garten, Grades 2, 4, 6 and 8 saw 4,250 children. The health unit uses the school screening program to help

promote the mobile van.Nearly 500 children vis-

ited the dental bus.Lack of transportation is

a significant barrier to low income families and the dental bus helps overcome that hurdle, says Tanner.

“We can be there.”Norwood is “a very pop-

ular place,” she added.The health unit has of-

fered a denture pilot since October. Good oral health, says Tanner, can translate into improved self-confi-dence, social and employ-ment success and opportu-nities to “eat foods that are healthier.”

The mobile program was praised by Asphodel-Nor-wood councillors.

“It’s a beautiful facil-ity and our community is set up to accommodate it,” Deputy-mayor Joe Crow-ley said. “I think your growing pains are recog-nized but I would like to

see it offered to more stu-dents and more families,” Crowley said, zeroing in on the $20,000 benchmark which he thought was “a touch too low.”

“I think you’re doing re-ally good work and I hear some really good com-ments.”

Tanner agreed with Crowley on the $20,000 and said the health unit continues to lobby the province.

“We recognize that $20,000 is too low” but there are other programs they can offer, Tanner not-ed.

“We realized that we had a lot to learn along the way. We’re working very hard to reach out.”

No change in ice making timeBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - The ice will continue to be made in September at the Asphodel-Norwood Com-munity Centre.

Township council reaf-firmed its support for the usual September ice mak-ing regime. The need for the early ice time start had been discussed at council’s

January 22 meeting which led to a report by commu-nity centre manager Greg Hartwick providing addi-tional information about ice installation.

The cost of installing ice is $5,244 and Hartwick pointed out that this is a fixed cost and would be the same if the start date was pushed forward into Octo-ber. It takes eight days to prepare ice at the commu-nity centre.

“Delaying the installa-tion of ice would have an impact on many local fami-lies involved in organiza-tions such as minor hockey, adult hockey, [the] skat-ing club and high school,” Hartwick said.

Collectively, those groups would have to find 130 hours of ice in some other community which would entail travel outside of Asphodel-Norwood.

Marmora would be the “most likely destination,” Hartwick said. He said that dropping September ice would lead to the loss of 35 hours from Peter-borough tournaments and the “additional spending dollars from people who travel into our commu-

nity.”“The 49 business adver-

tisers in our community centre would also see one less month that their signs are visible to the public which could affect us with a reduction in advertising dollars,” he added.

“The community centre acquires additional revenue to offset the additional ex-penses to warrant putting the ice surface in during September,” Hartwick said.

September revenues are based on 20 days of use.

In September, 2012, the community centre’s total revenues were $23,460; it generated $17,019 from ice rentals during 20 days of availability.

In October, the cen-tre’s total revenues were $31,246 with a full month of ice rentals accounting for $23,310.

In September, the com-munity centre also earned $88 from skate sharpen-ing and $5,747 from con-cessions and another $603 from its vending machines.

In October, it earned $366 from skate sharpen-ing, $6,675 at the conces-sion booth and $808 from the vending machines.

Meals on Wheels program needs volunteer drivers

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbell-ford - The Meals on Wheels program operated by Com-munity Care Northumber-land (CCN) needs volunteer drivers for Campbellford.

The call went out recently from CCN.

“Seeing the smiles on the faces of our clients is one of the many great returns you will receive as a Meals on Wheels driver,” said Trish Baird, executive director of Community Care Northum-berland.

“This program is growing in Trent Hills. In 2012 there were 4,009 hot and frozen meals delivered.”

For Jack and Carol Barrett, volunteer drivers who live at the ends of Campbellford, the chance to deliver meals is something they look forward

to each month. They have been doing it for the past 10 to 15 years.

“These people need some-one to come and deliver the meals. They also need the company and people coming in and caring about them,” said Jack Barrett.

“All these people have some sort of need. A lot have been abandoned by their families,” he commented.

For the Barretts delivering meals is something they are passionate about.

“My wife goes in and talks to these folks. She’s very people minded,” he added.

“We do it once or twice a month; we did it yesterday. We had 14 people. It was a very busy day,” he said, add-ing, “It’s a rewarding thing to do as far as we’re con-cerned.”

“We’re getting back far more than we’re giving,” said Barrett, hoping to encourage others to become volunteer drivers.

The Barretts have noticed that the people who are re-ceiving the meals are often elderly, folks who can’t get around or walk too well.

“Some are very sick and this is a way of having some-body coming in to check them too,” said Barrett.

“A lot are on their own and they can’t handle mak-ing a meal.”

Natisha Debutte, pro-gram assistant in Trent Hills, agrees.

“Our clients often live alone and do not get out on a regular basis,” she said

“The Meals on Wheels service provides them with a hot, delicious meal deliv-

ered right to their door. The clients of this service ap-preciate both the meal and the visit from our volunteer drivers.”

The time commitment is approximately one hour, starting at 11 a.m. and end-ing around noon.

There is a small financial reimbursement for gas.

Volunteers can choose to volunteer just one day or more during the week, or even just once per month, whatever their time allows.

Community Care Nor-thumberland staff make it work.

For more information about this volunteer op-portunity, please contact the local Community Care Northumberland office in Campbellford at 705-653-1411.

Boosting efforts to recycle construction debris crucialBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock Reducing the amount of construction and demolition debris heading to the county-city landfill could boost the overall diversion rate by 3.7 per cent in the next ten years and Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Deputy-mayor Andy Sharpe says that’s something they can focus on locally.

“We have really seen the county picture as well as the township picture of what are our successes and what could use more time,” Sharpe said commenting on the county’s recently completed 20-year waste management master

plan (WMMP).“One of the things that our

numbers really show is the amount of construction and demolition debris that gets trucked from here to Bensfort Road,” he said. “That’s some-thing that we need to try and investigate and work on and maybe make some improve-ments.”

Currently, construction and demolition debris repre-sents 3.6 per cent (860 tonnes) of the county’s total waste di-version stream; in 2010 the county diverted 39.4 per cent of waste from landfill; the WMMP provides a road map to hitting 47 per cent in the next five years, 66 per cent

within ten years and 75 per cent by 2033. Most construc-tion and demolition debris can be recycled or reused and the WMMP says the county can boost construction and demolition diversion by 1.5 per cent within five years and another 2.2 per cent by 2023 at a small cost of $25,000.

Sharpe wants a staff report on “what would be involved for a bin for construction and demolition debris” at 6th Line transfer station.

“There are townships in the county that are doing this already. Tipping fees offset the cost of the program.”

Public works supervisor Brian McMillan says he’s

bringing a report brought to council outlining exactly what Sharpe has suggested.

“There is money in the budget for a C & D bin at the transfer station,” McMillan said. “There will be a bin in-stalled to recycle that stuff much better.”

The material is “bulky, durable and non-readily de-composable” and “rapidly consumes landfill capacity,” the WMMP says.

The plan calls for more designated construction and demolition collection areas at landfills and transfer stations within the next two to five years for the “proper separa-tion.”

The collection of separated construction and demolition debris can be done by private companies, the plan adds.

“Commercial and demoli-tion debris should be taken to a proper processing facility for eventual reuse, recycling or disposal.”

The plan urges the county to work with companies and individuals to promote con-struction and demolition diversion. Overall, “it is pos-sible to divert 75 per cent of the waste stream,” the master plan states. Attaining a 60 per cent target is “realistic over the next 20 years.”

“The real success of this is that the waste is not go-

ing to Bensfort,” says Sharpe. “There’s a lot of things that we need to reconsider in the future as far as recycling and I pick this one as something we can maybe do in the short term to try and do our part in 2013.”

“I think that there are a lot of things that we need to dis-cuss and this is one item that came forward,” Mayor Ron Gerow added.

“The overall goal is to try to save as much space at Bens-fort as possible. A cubic metre of space is very valuable and getting more valuable with time.”

Bensfort has an estimated 12 to 15 years of capacity left.

Council turns down Pedal For Hope requestBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - Township council has turned down a request for a donation to support this year’s Pedal For Hope campaign.

Constable Jason Clarke of the Peterborough County OPP spoke to co uncil last week about the eight-year history of Pedal For Hope and the $1.6 million it has raised during that time span asking if the township would like to provide a donation that would be used for the purchase of an iPod to be given away in a Norwood school.

Last year’s 1,000 km three-week-long bike tour raised $355,000 while stopping at nearly 50 schools, including those in Norwood, Havelock, Hastings and Campbellford and others in Peterborough,

Northumberland, Haliburton Highlands and the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Constable Clarke, a new rider and new member this year, has been at schools when the PFH team arrives.

“It is very heartwarming to see the kids,” he said, excited about being part of the 2013 tour which kicks off April 19.

“The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness and un-derstanding for local children battling cancer as well as funds in finding a cure and treatments through pediat-ric cancer research,” he ex-plained.

“Even more encouraging than the financial success is the rapport that has been built between the officers and students in the schools,” Constable Clarke said. “The

enthusiasm shown by the kids is nothing short of awe-inspiring.”

The in-school events have raised “very impressive amounts of money,” he said.

“[Students] have learned that they are able to band to-gether and make a significant difference in the lives of oth-ers.”

In many cases, he added, students are supporting peers within their schools who are facing their own battles with cancer.

Constable Clarke said the assemblies, the head-shaving and all the other antics is a show of solidarity by stu-dents with the police truly inspired by what the youth have done.

The iPod would have the donor’s name engraved on it so the local connection can be highlighted, he said.

“This has also created a fantastic opportunity to pro-mote organizations that have provided us with the spon-sorship that keeps our tour

alive.”“Historically we haven’t

supported this,” Mayor Doug Pearcy said. “It just seems to be a door that we shouldn’t open, unfortunately, as much as I would like to support [it].”

“If we have a policy that says no tax dollars for dona-tions is it worthwhile them coming to council?” asked Councillor Roy Millett.

Appearances like Consta-ble Clarke’s are still beneficial from a public relations per-

spective,” CAO Rob Brown-ing said.

“They are coming in the door [and they know] the an-swer is going to be no,” added Councillor Mary Hay.

“People are being asked to give out of their own pock-ets for these things,” Pearcy added.

“It seems that every time you turn around everybody wants a hand out or some-thing. That’s why I support the motion,” Deputy-mayor Crowley said.

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 predict-able patterns of warmth and cold, rain, snow, wind, our ever-returning growing sea-sons, are now experiencing tornados, hurricanes, killing droughts and freak win-ter storms, lowering lakes, growing deserts and rising sea levels; maybe not here, maybe not yet, but clearly in the USA, and other poor-er and more desperate coun-tries.

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

We simply can’t a� ord thisDear Editor,

Apparently, the mu-nicipality has a reserve of $450,000 which is slated for a $27 million facility, (ex-tras included) and will add another $300,000 this year from the tax levy. Well, ex-cuse me council. Are you people just idiots, or incom-petent fools? My property taxes keep going up, and my water and sewer bills are higher than any of my other utilities, and they keep go-ing up. When is this lunacy

going to stop! The seniors and other good people of this “one horse town” are not getting any richer, and cannot continue to sustain the grandiose thoughts of a few select people who want to see this facility built. The fact that they have this much in reserve is ridiculous.

Those funds should mor-ally be used to offset any possible increases towards infrastructure needs: i.e. bet-ter roads in town, sidewalks to be replaced, new bridge

expenses, better traffi c fl ow, etc. Campbellford is already one of the largest welfare towns per capita in Ontario, and the council wants to levy taxes to build a rec cen-tre! The population should have an absolute right to have this item put to a ref-erendum, with it plainly stated that a tax levy will, or will not go toward such a fa-cility. Wake up taxpayer. Is this what you want?

D. J. Davies,Campbellford

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.

H. Howarth,Tweed

It’s time we were listened toDear Editor

On February 13, 2013, I attended the community meeting in Norwood con-cerning the three industrial wind turbines, that will be erected in 2014 on the edge of Hastings in Aspho-del Township called “Collie Hill Wind Farm.” <www.zeroemissionpeople.com/index.php/projects/80-zep-wind-farm-collie-hill>.

The three industrial wind turbines from ground to the tip of the blade will be 492 feet each.

The defi nition of a sky-scraper is 500 feet or 50 sto-ries, so I think it is safe to call them skyscrapers. Pres-ently there is a 100-foot test tower on the site that is visible for miles. Now pic-ture it at 500 feet and there is no denying how massive these structures will be.

The meeting was excel-lent and was well attended but it struck me that more people showed up for a meeting on a three-month bridge closure than this permanent project that will affect us all, if not with health problems, then cer-tainly with reduced prop-erty values and diminished

tourism.Presently there are 57

homes that are classifi ed as “noise receptors,” the wind company’s terminology for houses that are located close to these structures.

Anyone selling in the area will have to disclose this project, the real estate forms actually make you declare this for legal rea-sons.

We heard how local fi re department do not have the equipment to fi ght any fi re on a turbine that is 50 stories high, they can only “clear the area and pull back.”

We heard how banks are starting to refuse mortgag-es to homes and how insur-ance companies have denied insurance to land owners housing these projects.

We also heard that the Ministry of Environment has yet to refuse one ap-plication for an industrial wind turbine project.

If none of this still con-cern you perhaps knowing that hydro will increase a minimum of 40 per cent might.

In my last hydro bill there was an enclosure

stating “Delivery Rates are Increasing” among reasons stated was to “connect re-newable generation proj-ects such as wind and solar” etc.

We heard from MPP Rob Milligan how only three per cent of our hydro is generated by wind, how water has to be diverted over Niagara to accommo-date the wind generated at night when demand for power is low, all at taxpay-ers cost.

We heard how Ontario has one of the highest hydro rates and is driving companies away, yet still we hear about “Green En-ergy.” The only green I see is the money being paid to the landowner who houses the turbines.

Perhaps it is too late for Hastings but I urge you to do your own research, urge the new premier of Ontario to give back the power to lo-cal municipalities to call for a moratorium and return democracy to the Ontario taxpayer. Industrial wind turbines have no place in residential areas.

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.

By Sue DickensEMC News - Camp-bellford - Hospital board members here were given a glimpse into the world of surgical procedures with a presentation demonstrat-ing the use of a new gastro-scope.

Campbellford Memo-rial Hospital (CMH) just received six new scopes to replace those that have aged and are eating up funds with expensive maintenance costs.

The scopes cost about $25,000 each.

Dr. Glenn Gibson, anes-thetist at CMH, was accom-panied by Heather Milne, operating room (OR) unit co-ordinator as they per-formed the gastroscopy on a

medical mannequin.Dr. Jerry Sue-Chue-Lam,

the hospital surgeon was unable to attend.

All of this happened against a backdrop of anoth-er presentation at the same hospital board meeting by Brad Hilker, hospital CEO and president, who talked about the move to become more effi cient in the OR as the hospital works toward a balanced budget for 2013-2014.

This follows on the heels of the provincial govern-ment’s decision to use a dif-ferent funding model, one in which the money fol-lows the patient. This differs from the traditional method of providing a lump sum to hospitals.

In an effort to deal with escalating costs the OR is now doing in three days what it used to do in fi ve, explained Gibson.

“Funding historically for hospitals has just been a ridiculous system. You get the money and that is it for the year,” he said after the meeting.

“So they are fi nally clue-ing into this system and saying when you do these things [procedures] you will get money for it. So the money will now follow the patient.”

The move to do more pro-cedures in less time started last November.

“So we start earlier in the morning and we’re cram-ming more in,” he com-

By Sue DickensEMC News - Campbell-ford - “It’s all so surreal. It hasn’t really hit me yet and probably won’t until I land in LA,” said Jadine Parr, the Campbellford mother of two who ap-peared last Sunday on Dragon’s Den.

Parr was hoping she and her American business part-ner Melanie Miller would make an impression with their product Baby BlowOut Blocker and they did, not for a deal with the Dragons but with someone else.

“We were contacted and hand selected by Jayneoni Moore, Baby Glamour Guru to the celebrities, to attend The Boom Boom Room Pre-Oscar Gifting Suite at the 2013 Academy Awards this coming weekend, Satur-day February 23,” Parr told EMC.

When interviewed earlier this week she was still try-ing to come down to earth after realizing she will be meeting movie stars who will be coming to the Acad-emy Awards ceremony this year.

“The Boom Boom Room is the premier event for top quality infant and toddler brands to come face to face with the A-list moms and dads of Hollywood and the media,” she said.

Parr leaves for Los Ange-les Friday night and will be in The Boom Boom Room with Miller all day Satur-day.

“We are to receive a list of the celebrity moms and dads who have children un-der the age of fi ve who will come and browse the room,” said Parr with excitement.

At press time she had not yet received the celebrity list.

The entrepreneurs will be in a large banquet hall with others from throughout North America chosen to showcase their baby prod-ucts.

“It’s a gifting suite so we

give our product to the ce-lebrities and have our pic-tures taken with them,” ex-plained Parr.

“It’s an opportunity to meet and mingle and show them our product.”

The whirlwind exposure of their product has both entrepreneurs a bit over-whelmed.

“I am trying to keep all of my balls in the air as we are juggling a lot of things,” said Parr.

“It’s all just happening so quickly. I am very fortu-nate to have everything fall-ing into place so well right now,” she added.

Admitting they didn’t get any deals with the Dragons, she was encouraged by them to continue with their plans to get the word out about their product.

Dragon Arlene Dickin-son told the entrepreneurs during their segment which aired on CBC, “You need to get as many of these out there as quickly as you can. Go to social media sites and bloggers and get the moms to take this on.”

Dragon Kevin O’Leary said, “Getting shelf space in the diaper aisle is impossible. There is not a chance in hell. These diaper guys are pretty smart. I think it’s a war you are going to lose.”

All the Dragons agreed, however, that the women would do well by marketing their product online.

Parr said their product, Baby BlowOut Blocker, has been called a “brilliant mommy must-have in Preg-nancy & Newborn maga-zine and has been featured on Breakfast Television.

Parr did say they are “in discussions with Giant Ti-ger.”

For information about the product go to: <www.kalikababy.com/> or email <[email protected]> or phone 705-653-6048.

Parr is also on facebook: <www.facebook.com/Baby-BlowOutBlocker>.

Low wait time for procedures with new scopesmented, noting that quality of the procedure is not suf-fering.

Gibson also noted that, “The saving is mostly be-cause of the nursing staff.” To operate an OR fi ve nurs-es need to be available.

“If you don’t have sur-gery that day those fi ve nurses can go somewhere else in the hospital,” he ex-plained.

“There are nine days in March when the OR is closed,” he noted.

Board member Bruce Thompson refl ected on the changes.

“Our wait time is so much faster whether we have a doctor for three days or fi ve,” he said, re-marking that wait times for scope procedures in Pe-terborough “can be up to two months.”

If the new funding for-mula leads to the hospital’s ability to make money then the suggestion was made to let the public know the wait time for scopes in Camp-bellford is only a matter of days.

“The big question now is how much are they [the government] are going to pay us for doing the scope procedure,” said Gibson.

“It might be a real mon-eymaker for us. But if they’re not going to pay us a good buck for it we could be losing at ton of money,”

he explained.So far the government has

not provided any details on the new funding formula.

Providing some statistics for the board Dr. Gibson pointed out that in the past year Dr. Sue-Chue-Lam has done 930 colonoscopies and

out of that number 550 pol-yps were discovered in the patients and removed.

He has completed 405 gastroscopies, performed 70 hernia operations, 70 gall bladder operations and 50 carpal tunnel surgeries among other procedures.

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.

By Bill FreemanEMC Lifestyles - Nor-wood - Family Day fun filled both halls at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 300 in Norwood.

For the first time ever the Norwood Legion threw open its doors for a Family Day festival that included craft vendors, games for children along with refreshments and lunchtime goodies.

“We wanted to let the community know that the Legion is for kids and fami-lies too,” organizer Robyn Harrison told the Northwest EMC as family groups and other visitors dropped in to enjoy the fun.

“We want to let people know that we’re not just a drinking establishment,” Harrison said. “We want to appeal to people who wouldn’t normally come to the Legion.”

It was also a provincial holiday with not much for young people to do in town, she added, so the Legion thought about filling the gap.

Harrison says she was pleased with the response and noted she had to turn vendors away.

“It was something to try and build on for next year and do something even better next year. The more that get involved the better

Family Day fun at Norwood Legion

it can be.”“It’s great to have more

events like this during the day,” Branch 300 Legion-naire of the Year Rob Gor-don said. “I’m amazed to see all this. It gives a new image to the Legion.”

Harrison says the Legion is also planning to hold an Eas-ter Egg hunt on March 30.

Soup’er Family day in Havelock

By Bill FreemanEMC Lifestyles - Have-lock - From the Flying

Blue Buffalo to The Last Pig Standing, you knew that the fifth annual Fam-

ily Day Soup and Dessert Festival in Havelock was going to be a rather special event.

And it certainly was with the township’s hometown chefs and their restaurant counterparts letting their foodie imaginations run wild and laying down a mighty challenge to guest judges Doug Whyte and Shyla Godin-Swereda from Fleming College’s culinary arts program.

“It’s nice to have the competition but the gen-eral feeling of the whole thing is that it’s fun,” orga-nizer Brooke Wrightly said as she surveyed the im-pressive display of entries which visitors sampled and voted for.

There were 15 home-town soup entries, two from restaurants and an-other ten dessert entries.

There was also free pub-lic skating downstairs cour-tesy of the municipality.

For Wrightly, the event succeeds because the em-phasis is placed squarely on family and fun.

“It gets parents and kids and grandparents all in-volved together,” Wrightly told the Northwest EMC. “People have enjoyed it in the past and we keep getting more entries each year.”

“We do make a little money for the TEACH [Training Education and Careers Havelock] Cen-tre but it’s fun seeing ev-

erybody out together and watching them try differ-ent soups.

“People try things they wouldn’t at home or some-where else.”

That could apply to both the chefs and taste-testers.

The TEACH Centre also offered colouring for chil-dren while promoting a March Break program that will be offered by Myra McGowan and Kayla Ham-ilton.

“It is a good chance for people to see what we do for the kids,” said Wright-ly.

“It has become a little bit of a family tradition,” TEACH Centre execu-tive director Phil Higgins agreed.

“It’s all in fun; it’s just what we do to be part of the community,” he said. “It definitely is a family event, especially for those who bring their kids with skates and finish upstairs.”

When they first tried it five years ago “they didn’t have a clue what the out-come would be.

“We can celebrate that this was a success from within our volunteer board of directors,” he said cred-iting Nancy Derrer with fostering the inaugural event.

Higgins says the event does help raise the profile of the centre.

“This year, with funding cuts, people are starting to come to us more and more and yet there’s less and less for us to support them with so it’s a reminder that we’re here and that we’re here for the community.

“What makes this a community is the fact that we enjoy doing things to-gether,” Higgins added.

The winners were: Hometown Chef, People’s Choice, Kait Higgins, Chicken Cordon Bleu; Judge’s Choice, Lawson Wrightly, Flying Blue Buffalo Restaurant Chef, People’s Choice, Woody Burger, Cheeseburger

Soup; Judge’s Choice, Whitehouse Café, Corn and Chicken Chowder.

ENTERTAINMENT

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

The 23-year-old virtuoso accordion and guitar player with a refreshingly simple take on life and music who dazzled audiences twice at the Havelock Country Jam-boree and won the hearts and top marks of judges at the 2011 Havelock Idol Showdown returns to Have-lock 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. He released his first full-length album Take it All last August after ses-sions at Iguana Studio in Toronto which was part of the Havelock Idol grand

prize and he’s expanded his fan base with well-received shows across the country.

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

“Jamie mesmerized our audience from the time he took the stage till he tipped his hat at the end,” says Jennifer Goheen of the Havelock Country Jambo-ree 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 ev-ery often. It’s really hard to explain until you see him play,” Goheen told the Northwest EMC before last year’s Jamboree.

Spurvey has both a win-

Jamie Spurvey will dazzle Havelock again

ning personality and deft talent for song-writing.

“He’s just who he is.

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

to what he’s experienced. That’s what country music is all about.”

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

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

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

Show time for the age of majority Legion show is 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 each and are available from Brian Grattan at 705-778-3150.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock Laughter can be pretty powerful medicine and or-ganizers of the Raise the Woof Comedy Tour which pulls into Havelock March 7 are mixing comic relief with a cause: support-ing “homeless, unwanted, abandoned and displaced” cats.

The brainchild of ac-claimed comedian James Uloth, Raise the Woof has put its comedy behind a number of animal shelters and rescue groups in the past and its stop in Have-lock will help raise much-needed funds for the local Cat Care Spay/Neuter Ini-tiative (CCSNI)

“Their goal is to create a sustainable revenue annu-al event that can become a steady revenue stream for our benefactors,” says Havelock native and Pe-terborough resident Phil-lip Jolicoeur whose Phil PR company is promoting the Raise the Woof show in Havelock.

Uloth, a standup comic for the past ten years, has raised over $300,000 for various charities. He’s played over 2,000 shows in four countries since 2003 including the Edin-burgh Fringe Festival and the Las Vegas World Se-

ries of Comedy.He brings a “fun-filled

show with strong brand-ing matched with quality performances by all en-tertainers on the lineup,” says Jolicoeur.

CCSNI founder Su-zanne Hart is thrilled that Raise the Woof decided to book a show in Havelock and select their organiza-tion.

“They approached us,” she told the Northwest EMC. “Phil knows this comedy group and he sug-gested they might like to come and help us. We’re very pleased with that.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Camp-bellford - It’s evident there is close interest in Trent Hills and Northum-berland in the march of industrial wind turbine projects across Ontario and particularly in nearby Asphodel-Norwood.

Many of the people who filled the Norwood Town Hall last week for wind turbine information and protest meeting were from Trent Hills, includ-ing Lori Caughey God-den, who wanted the large audience to know that she has arranged to bring the award-winning documen-tary Windfall to the Aron Theatre on March 10 at 1:30 p.m.

Caughey Godden grew up on Amherst Island and has family on the “Gem of Lake Ontario” which is now the centre of a pro-posed 75 MW, 37 indus-trial wind turbine project developed by Windelec-tric Inc.

Caughey Godden and other Amherst Island residents watched help-

lessly as a large swathe of nearby Wolfe Island was transformed into a mas-sive 197.8 MW wind farm with 86 turbines, so her interest is real and per-sonal.

“I know what they have gone through,” she said of Wolfe Island.

Living in Campbell-ford it might seem like Caughey Godden is “far removed” from the devel-opment but her concerns run deep and that’s why she wants people to see Linda Israel’s acclaimed documentary which won the DOC NYC grand prize and was an official selec-tion at the Toronto In-ternational Film Festival. The film tells the story of Meredith, New York, and how a 40 industrial wind turbine project affected the rural community; it has won praise at festivals around the world.

“Windfall is not an ex-posé about wind energy,” Israel says. “It is a story about the experience of a community and how it’s affected.”

By Sue DickensEMC News - Trent Hills World Day of Prayer 2013 is being hosted by the Burn-brae Presbyterian Church.

“I was a stranger and you welcomed me” is the theme of this year’s celebration.

World Day of Prayer (WDP) is described as an ecumenical celebration of informed prayer and prayerful action that brings together women of various races, cultures, and tradi-tions in closer fellowship, understanding and action throughout the year.

Last year it was hosted locally by St. Mary’s Cath-olic Church in Campbell-ford. The service is hosted by different churches each year.

“Representatives from all the churches in the area are invited to participate,” said Joan Ingram, president of the Burnbrae Ladies As-sociation.

She has been an active member of her church for the past two decades.

“I started teaching in Sunday School ten or more years ago when my chil-dren were little,” she com-mented.

For Ingram Burnbrae Presbyterian Church “is a centrepiece for our social events. It is the hub of the Burnbrae area and is the centre of our social and spiritual activities.”

World Day of Prayer means celebrating the op-portunity for women to get together not only here but around the world.

“It gives me hope to see that women are getting a voice in the church, espe-cially in Third World coun-tries where they don’t have a say,” said Ingram.

“We’re spiritually con-nected to these women as women all over the world are connected to pray for

Timely showing of award-winning film at Aron

She and her crew also took their cameras to Tug

Hill, New York, to spend time in the midst of a 200

wind turbine project. The footage is riveting.

“I wanted to show what it was like to live there and never see a view without a turbine,” Israel says of their visit to Tug Hill.

“There are many people living among wind tur-bines all over the world trying to get the word out about their troubles and can’t seem to find an out-let to make people listen,” she says. “I’m more con-cerned about giving voice to them because they are the ones who aren’t being heard.”

The most surprising thing Israel learned mak-ing the film was “what it’s like to stand close to a 400-foot-tall operating wind turbine and look up to see the huge blade come slicing through the air down toward you.

“I’ll never forget the feeling in my chest the first time I stood really close to one”

By bringing the film to Campbellford, Caughey Godden is also helping lo-cal voices be heard.

She has talked to Israel about the documentary.

“Everybody should see this film.”

What is happening in Asphodel-Norwood has significance for Trent Hills council, she adds.

“I’m definitely in the camp that [says] we need to talk to politicians, we need public opinion [and] a province-wide PR cam-paign on this,” Caughey Godden said.

She urges local resi-dents to write letters to new Premier Kathleen Wynne who also doubles as the provincial Minister of Agriculture.

Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal, the Minister of Ru-ral Affairs, should also be contacted.

“I wanted to show what it was like to live there and never see a view without a

turbine.”

Burnbrae Presbyterian Church to host World Day of Prayereach other. I love that be-cause I am part of that,” she added.

The WDP celebration at Burnbrae will feature guest speaker Steve Ross who was raised on a dairy farm in Norwood and left that life to travel with an international development project in Ukraine through the Presbyterian Church in Canada and the Canadian Food Grains Bank.

He has been working in the field of community de-

velopment for more than ten years.

His work took him to Eastern Europe where he spent five years working with non-governmental and church organizations in Hungary, Ukraine and Romania.

Returning to Norwood with a Hungarian wife he returned to employment in agriculture on a large sheep farm near Norwood.

He also works with the New Canadians Centre in

Peterborough.“Because of my per-

sonal experiences, result-ing from the challenges I faced through my migra-tion to Eastern Europe and the sponsorship of my immigrant wife, I am motivated to help oth-ers in their adjustment in making a new home for themselves in Canada,” he told EMC.

He will be talking about his experiences.

The World Day of Prayer

service has been prepared this year by the WDP com-mittee of France.

The committee looks for a Christian response to struggles concerning im-migration and for ways to welcome “the stranger.”

The women who pre-pared this year’s worship service and Bible studies reach to Matthew 25 with a focus on migration.

The program for the ser-vice provides background information on France and

states, “French demograph-ic projections indicate that within one single genera-tion, migration will become the sole growth factor for the French population”.

The WDP celebration takes place at Burnbrae Presbyterian Church at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, March 1.

Sharon Nelson, Joan Bil-len, and Janet Twigg will be providing a special musical number for the service and are also helping Ingram or-ganize this event.

Cat care group champions spay, neuter initiative

Suzanne Hart, the co-founder of the Cat Care Spay/Neuter Initiative, would like to hear from people interested in volunteering with the program or to support it through donations, both financial and material. Photo: Bill Freeman

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Havelock It might appear to be an overwhelmingly challeng-ing task but the recently formed, not-for-profit Cat Care Spay/Neuter Initia-tive (CCSNI) believes it can help communities deal with the overpopulation and plight of feral, aban-doned and free-roaming cats.

The group, headquar-tered in Havelock, trans-fers cats to low cost spay/neuter facilities with the eventual goal of finding foster homes for cats and kittens and safely return-ing feral cats to a healthy outdoor environment.

What the group isn’t is a shelter, says co-founder Suzanne Hart, although some volunteers foster cats and kittens and the group would like to con-nect with people prepared to offer the felines loving “forever” homes.

“It depends on pricing and availability where we go; we do go to differ-ent places,” Hart told the Northwest EMC.

Hart and many of the ten volunteers were with the Northumberland Hu-mane Society’s trap-neu-ter and return program for about three years but when it was suspended they “decided to go out on our own.”

The CCSNI was offi-cially launched in June by Hart and Eileen McIntosh and have “T/N/R’d” over 150 cats from Peterbor-ough, Northumberland and Hastings Counties since then.

“We have done cats from this area for quite a while; even when we were with the Northumberland Humane Society we were transferring cats,” she said.

“We are fairly new; we really just started on our own in June. We really haven’t been out there too much but people around here know about us. We haven’t been out there too much looking for cats because we don’t have the funding. When we do fund raisers and make money that’s when we can help

people.”The plight of abandoned,

free-roaming and feral cats is “overwhelming,” Hart says. “People don’t even realize how many there are out there.”

“It’s so sad that people are so irresponsible and that animals are so dispos-able.”

“I’ve always been in-volved in animal rescue and welfare my whole life,” Hart explained.

She volunteered with the Northumberland Hu-mane Society and they had a feral cat program.

“That was something I was interested in, street cats too, not just feral; free-roaming street cats, the ones people toss out the door.”

The group would like to do much more public education, especially in schools, Hart says.

“But we need volun-teers; to do that that takes time [but] it does start with the kids.”

“So many people bring a little kitten to the cottage for the summer and they

love this kitten but when it comes time to go home in the fall they leave the cat there. It doesn’t teach kids responsibility.”

Right now, the CCSNI has ten volunteers, five or six from HBM, and plans to hold regular meetings at the Havelock Town Hall.

“Once we get more volunteers and more people are aware we’d like to expand and have bigger meetings,” Hart said.

The organization would like to recruit more volun-teers and hear from people interested in providing foster homes for spayed and neutered cats and kit-tens.

“We really aren’t a res-cue,” Hart stressed.

“If we have a foster home and a cat is in dire need we will take them but we aren’t a rescue; we just don’t have the facilities.”

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - Ratepayers will get a chance to offer input on Asphodel-Norwood’s 2013 budget and it’s proposed 2.08 per cent municipal levy in-crease during their March 12 meeting.

During last week’s coun-cil meeting, treasurer Mel-anie Stubbs revealed that revisions to both the capital and operating budgets had reduced the municipal tax levy from 3.64 per cent to 1.08 per cent and that they had discovered a software “calculation error” which freed up an additional $22,159 which she strongly recommended be placed in a reserve; council agreed

and that bumped the levy increase by one per cent.

Council also agreed to use some of the public li-brary board’s 2012 surplus to pay for a $2,450 elevator repair bill.

By using library surplus there would be no impact on the township’s 2013 op-erating budget, Stubbs said.

Utilizing the reserve was the library board’s pre-ferred option, Councillor Mary Hay noted.

“We’re looking at 1.08 per cent. Could we put [that] $20,000 into an op-erating reserve for a rainy day?” asked Mayor Doug Pearcy, anxious to move the budget forward for public comment.

After the January 22 meeting the levy was fur-ther reduced to 2.11 per cent; Stubbs says a $1,500 reduction in utility costs at the community centre and holding council remunera-tion at 2012 levels brought that number down to 1.08 per cent.

“I think the two per cent is entrenched in the minds of a few and I’ll probably get accused of being a spend-thrift but I think our Lions Club and Millpond Com-mittee are not getting a fair review of the presentations they’ve made,” Deputy-mayor Joe Crowley said. “If you’re going to zero in on a two per cent levy in 2013 it probably doesn’t even cover

inflation.”“I think there are a lot

more discussions to be had along budgetary issues and what our priorities are for 2013, 2014 and 2015,”

Crowley said.Pearcy reminded Crow-

ley that the Lions Club, which is spearheading a

splash pad initiative, has not asked the municipality for any money to build the project. The municipality will assume operating costs after it’s completed and turned over to the township but that won’t happen until at least 2014, he added.

Pearcy noted the budget does contain funding lines for both the millpond and beautification committees.

“We can add money to the budget until the cows come home. I’m not sure the public’s going to be very happy. Somewhere along the line we’ve got to zero in and say this is what we are prepared to live with,” he said. “There’s money out there and those groups continue to raise money.

“We need to get a budget passed. If two per cent is where we want to be then I say let’s go for it.”

Stubbs told council that after the 2013 numbers are finalized she’d like to bring back some recommenda-tions on things like the millpond and beautifica-tion.

“We’ve been very good with our dollars in 2012; anywhere where we’ve saved we wanted to bring the recommendations for-ward in 2013. We’re paring down our budget to try to keep it within two per cent which we’ve accomplished and we still have money unspent in 2012 that can be used.”

SPORTS

By Sue DickensEMC Sports - Trent Hills Taking on the role of presi-dent of the Trent Hills Soc-cer Club, Mark Carlen is on the ball when it comes to implementing new initia-tives being touted for the 2013 season by the Ontario Soccer Association (OSA).

“So what we strive to do and what the OSA really wants to see happening at the grassroots level is that kids get fair time to play, make mistakes on the fi eld, that’s the only way you’re going to learn. If you do not allow all those kids that ex-posure they’re not going to develop,” he told EMC.

Carlen admits that in competitive sports, “if you‘re not the best you don’t see as much playing time.”

The OSA wants to change that.

“The OSA wants to de-emphasize win at all costs, play to win, playdowns, championships and keep-ing score. They want kids to play, have fun, enjoy the game and become lifelong players,” said Carlen.

For this new soccer presi-dent, it’s a different story.

He’s played soccer since Grade 7 and now plays with a competitive men’s league, Bay of Quinte out of Bel-leville. His daughter plays house league soccer and his sons are on the travel team.

There are about 300 players in the Trent Hills club which has four teams, Douro, Hastings, Trent Hills

(Campbellford, Warkworth) and Castleton.

There are two divisions in the club, one is the house league and the other is the travel league.

According to the OSA, soccer is currently the most popular organized team sport in Canada with over 865,000 registered players. Ontario comprises almost half of this total. Currently one out of three children in Ontario play organized soc-cer, two out of fi ve players are female and over a mil-lion parents and other fam-ily members play support-ing roles.

Carlen has been coaching for many years.

The club is “part of a loose association of clubs called the Tri County, which when it started included Peterbor-ough, Northumberland and Hastings counties.”

Carlen is on the executive of the Tri-County organiza-tion.

“We have been kicking around the new initiative of the OSA and talking about

how to implement it,” he said.

“In house league we gen-erally don’t keep score and the kids know that.

“Currently travel teams keep score, track standings and determine a winner at the end of the season. We’ll see what happens with OSA as they roll out the program. It’s a real challenge.”

The Trent Hills club is looking for parents to help out. Coaches are needed at all levels and the club needs volunteers for executive positions. Adults who do volunteer will be allowed to enroll a player for free.

“Typically on a house league team they would be out one night a week,” said Carlen.

“On travel teams it would mean one game a week and one practice a week.”

Registration dates for the 2013 season for players have been set. They are: Satur-day, March 2, and Saturday, March 23, from 10 a.m. to noon at Trent Valley Lanes in Campbellford; Thursday, March 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Legion in Warkworth.

The OSA has also rolled out an online test for ref-erees which they must take this year. The Trent Hills club is offering an entry level course for referees, students ages 13 and 14 can take it and if successful are paid for their efforts.

By Bill FreemanEMC Sports - Port Hope The defending champion Campbellford Rebels stum-bled out of the gate in game one of their Empire B Junior C Hockey League semi-final against the Port Hope Pan-thers.

The visiting Rebels, who watched second place and home ice advantage slip away on the last day of the regular season, fell behind 2 - 0 early in the first period on their way to a 4 - 1 loss at the hands of the Panthers in front of 230 fans at the Jack Burger Sports Complex.

Game two was set for Campbellford February 19 with game three in Port Hope February 22 (8 p.m.) and game four back in Campbell-ford February 23 (7:30 p.m.). Game five, if necessary, is Feb-ruary 24 in Port Hope (2:30 p.m.), game six in Campbell-ford February 26 (7:30 p.m.) and game seven in Port Hope March 1 (8 p.m.).

The Panthers (25-14-0-

1) squeezed by the Rebels (24-13-1-2) for second place in the EBJCHL despite each team finishing with 51 points in the standings and splitting their regular season series at 4 - 4 but with Port Hope sew-ing up second on total wins.

The winner of the Rebels-Panthers series will face the winner of the Picton-Am-herstview series. The Picton Pirates coasted to the regular season title romping into the play-offs 21 points ahead of both Campbellford and Port Hope and cresting on a 19-game winning streak.

The Pirates lead their se-ries 1 - 0 after thumping the Jets 6 - 2.

It was an even game but for the score sheet with both teams notching single pow-erplay goals in eight attempts and the Rebels holding a slight 40 - 37 edge in shots but failing to master Port Hope’s back-up goalie Bran-son Schell, an affiliated player out of the Cobourg Cougars minor system, who outdu-

elled Campbellford’s Cole Mahoney.

Port Hope took a 1 - 0 lead at the 6:58 mark of the first on a Dalton Lawrence goal then moved in front 2 - 0 less than two minutes later with Dan Lagrois beating Mahoney.

A goal by Nick Weiss 5:14 into the second period made it 3 - 0. Lagrois’ second of the night on a powerplay at the 4:28 mark of the third period increased the lead to 4 - 0.

A Connor Turland power-play marker at 10:20 of the third broke Schell’s shutout bid. Picking up assists were Josh Adams and Steven Clarke.

The Panthers did a good job of holding the Rebels top gunners Ryan Crowley, Hunter Fargey and Seamus McDougall off the board.

Lagrois and Lawrence were second and third in scoring for the Panthers.

Schell appeared in just four games this year for the Panthers posting 2.32 goals against average.

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

A local gourmet chef, Tina Moorey, will be doing a live cooking segment on CBC’s show Steven and Chris on February 28. Her specialty gourmet shop in Warkworth, On the Side, opened two years ago. Kincades sweet horseradish jelly from Stirling is one of the products she sells along with imported items from Britain. Photo: Sue Dickens

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.
