By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - The der-elict Mighty Dollar store on Dundas Street West in downtown Trenton has the writing on the wall.

“We will help sell it or fill the busi-ness,” said Mayor John Williams at the Economic Development and Revital-ization Committee meeting.

Chair Paul Whitley had informed the committee that despite numer-ous communications sent by city staff regarding fire, health and safety con-cerns, the owner of the property chose to ignore them. It has now become the decision of the court as to whether or not to grant the city possession of the property. Council will decide whether to demolish or repair the building.

Mayor Williams said the preferred option is to fill it with a type of busi-ness needed by the city.

“We got rid of the massage parlours and strip bar,” he said. “We want to en-courage the right kind of business.”

Williams noted that the old city hall

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - The rezon-ing of ten acres of land at Hamilton Road and RCAF Road will allow commercial development.

“It will permit new development by Twin Cities Investments,” said area plan-ner Scott Pordham.

He said the development will start soon and the amendment permits a wide range of possible industrial commercial uses. This includes caterers, restaurants, bake shop, health and fitness centre, business

offices, banks, service shop, convenience store, courier, computer lab or data pro-cessing, research and development or other retail.

The lands are located on the fringe of the North Murray Industrial Park. Located to the west is a new industrial development along with a storm water facility.

A resident along RCAF Road expressed concerns over the high traffic volume in that area. “Will this be a high collision intersection,” he asked. “Will there be a sidewalk? There will be more traffic.”

Pordham said they will look at these details in the next stage of site plan man-agement. He added that buffering from ad-jacent property and traffic studies will be part of the planning.

“Public Works will look at the traffic,” Pordham said. “Lights may be required at that intersection.”

Martin said his driveway is at the cor-ner and he is hoping the intersection will at least include a four-way stop.

Jim Harrison said they are looking at

has been purchased and the first floor is to be open for parking with 36 spots.

He added that the proposed marina is still going ahead. “There are no red flags,” he said. “It will be open next summer. I wish it could be this sum-mer.”

Williams said there are still prob-

lems at the local hospital. He noted Picton sent four buses to Queen’s Park and is asking the Ministry to de-amal-gamate. “People are upset,” he said. “What do we have to do to get out? People are not happy, the docs are not happy. We have a new doc coming in the fall. This is a concern.”

Williams said there is progress in the northeast industrial park with a new building. “There’s a lot of steel going up,” he said. “We’re looking forward to it going up this year.’

EMC Events - Multiple sclerosis is a health issue that has been in the news frequently over the past year owing to media coverage surrounding chronic cerebrospinal venous insuf-ficiency (CCSVI), a theory that sug-gests clogged veins can be a cause of MS. CCSVI has generated extraor-dinary levels of optimism within the MS community and many have mo-bilized around the topic and taken it upon themselves to learn more about MS. It is our hope to harness this mo-mentum and increase awareness about MS as we mark May is MS Awareness Month.

MS is a lifelong chronic illness that can be disabling and devastating to those diagnosed. Although it can oc-cur at any age, MS often hits people in the prime of their lives and is usu-ally diagnosed between the ages 15 and 40, when people are often start-ing a family or building their careers. After being diagnosed, people must learn how to deal with symptoms associated to having MS such as fa-tigue, spasticity and mobility issues. MS is an unpredictable disease that affects between 55,000 and 75,000 Canadians.

The MS Society’s top priority is the people living with MS. We remain strongly committed to providing ser-vices to those impacted by multiple sclerosis such as equipment funding, services funding, support groups, recreational and social programs and education. It is also important to us to ensure continued funding of MS research so we can provide the MS community with the answers they ur-gently seek around MS-related topics, including pediatric MS, therapies for early MS and CCSVI.

We hope you will participate by attending the Belleville Boston Pizza Celebrity Charity Night April 29, purchasing carnations during the MS Carnation Campaign at various banks, beer stores and liquor stores in Hastings County just in time for Mother’s Day, bid on items during The MS Silent Auction at the Quinte Mall, May 9 to 11 or participate or sponsor a walker for the Belleville MS Walk on May 26. We extend our appreciation to those who sup-port people affected by MS through donations to the MS Society. Your contributions fund community pro-grams that support people whose lives have been touched by MS and research that we hope will one day help to end MS.

all possibilities. He recognized that with the new development there will likely be 60 trucks a day going on that road.

“A traffic circle is better than lights,” Harrison commented.

Mayor John Williams said they are putting up lights at North Murray and Hamilton Road this summer.

Harrison noted the extension of wa-ter and sewer to residents is not that far away. Charlie Murphy said they will ask Public Works to look at that option.

Mighty Dollar store tear it down?” he asked. Williams said the city has permission with the deed but the question is to tear it down or fix it up.

“Another option is for somebody else to fix it up,” Williams added. “That might work better. We could spend money to make it safe and they could do the rest.”

Linda Lisle, manager of Economic De-velopment, said a Request for Proposal has been issued for the demolition of the struc-ture.

Lisle added that the Front Street Farmers Market is set to open on May 4. To date, 12 vendors have registered, up by three vendors from last year. A section on the city web site will showcase vendor profiles dur-ing the market season.

The new Riverfront Square signage has been installed along with the kiosk. The grand opening is set for June 14. The city received $75,000 in funding from Trenval for the Front Street and Walkway Redevel-opment Project.

Glenn Kozak suggested they get a “por-tapotty” or they will be swamped this sum-mer.

Paul Whitley said they don’t yet know the extent of the traffic or how many events will be booked. “We are on alert if needed,” he added. “If this thing gets overwhelmingly good, it will be crowded all the time.”

Kozak commented that downtown park-ing is already an issue. Whitley said signage of parking areas would be a good idea.

By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - The proposed photo mosaic mural in downtown Trenton is over halfway to its goal of $22,000.

“We still need lots of pictures,” says Wendy Ouellette.The project has been under way for about six months and

the committee is hoping to have it ready to go this fall. Resi-dents of Quinte West are invited to bring in photographs of their family, past and present, and have them digitized for the mural. The cost of one photo is $10 or three for $25.

“This is a community project involving all of Quinte West, a collaboration of past and present,” Ouellette says.

The mural would appear as a historic scene from a dis-tance, but close up the faces would come into view.

“This is a mural for the people, by the people,” she says. “It is also a fund raiser for the Trent Port Historical Society.”

Scanning stations are available at Ted’s Computer Shop at 50 Quinte Street, the National Air Force Museum of Canada on RCAF Road, and The Computer Specialists at 46 Front Street, Trenton.

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - Pro-ceeds from a ham roll put on jointly by the Trenton Odd Fellows Lodge and Trenton Kinsmen Club will put $619 into the Trenton Care and Share Food Bank.

“We figured they could use the money,” said Aubrey Waycott of the Odd Fellows.

Co-chair Jason Walt from the Odd Fellows Lodge and Bob Mitts from the Trenton Kinsmen Club worked to-gether on the March 23 ham roll. The cheque was presented to Al Teal, food bank manager.

Mitts said the two clubs will part-ner again for a charity ham roll on No-vember 30.

“Thanks to Metro for their sup-port,” he said. “They helped with the lunch and the deal on the hams. We had 50 hams.”

Mitts said there will be another pre-sentation from the Kinsmen Club at the May 7 Bingo upstairs at the arena. The donation will go to the food bank from the March and April bingos.

Aubrey Waycott noted there are five Bingos a week in Trenton from vari-ous charitable organizations. The Odd Fellows have theirs on Friday nights.

“We didn’t want a big Bingo hall in this area,” he added. “These organiza-

tions depend on these Bingos.”He added that each club has to do-

nate 85 per cent of the proceeds to charity. Every Bingo is reported to Virginia LaTour at city hall.

Waycott said the Odd Fellows are very fortunate they still have a building. It was right next door to the Sherwood Forest that burned down in November.

“The firefighters did a phenomenal job,” he said. “They saved our building.”

He said they were also very lucky the wind was blowing the other way.

When the boiler blew in the hotel it took the siding off the building, but there is no structural damage.

“We had water damage from the firefighters,” he added. “We had to close down two Bingos right after and seven or eight rentals. We were back in business in mid-December.”

He said there were no donations for Christmas because of this.

Waycott is also chair of the Quinte West Community Trust Fund and the inter-service club.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We need to keep the “Y” in BrightonDear Editor,

I can’t believe we are losing our “Y”. I think the town council needs to think of the big picture and make sure this does not hap-pen. We want a town that attracts new industries and their workers and we want to make sure every-one no matter what their age, or how much money they have, has a chance to be healthy.

We have programs to keep chil-dren healthy, such as hockey and skating, curling etc. and some of them are supported by the town, but what about the rest of us?

With the “Y” slated to close down, seniors, young people with preschoolers and adults will have very few choices. Many seniors are not able to drive 10 or 20 miles to another town to work out. Some cannot afford the extra cost of the drive. Young people with small children, will find it diffi-cult to find the time or the money (two cars these days is a luxury for many) to travel. It is not good

enough for parents to make sure their children are active. If they see their parents are not active as well, we are teaching them fitness is only for kids. The most vulner-able in our society are the ones that are going to be hit. You can give those in need a subsidy for the “Y” but that does not get them to a facility that is miles away.

I don’t understand why the Health Centre has to charge such a high rent. They seem to have a surplus to give out to groups in town. Wouldn’t it be more rea-sonable to have a rent that makes sense for the size of the facility. The number of members needed to pay the rent being charged now, would cause much overcrowding.

I’m wondering if the town or Health Centre has other plans for the “Y” space. If so, the people of Brighton would like to know. For decisions like this Brightonians would like a say. Open meetings and honesty are needed here. We live in a democracy and there

should be time to discuss big de-cisions such as this, and not just a limited time at a council meeting. It would also still the rumours that are going around. This is a big de-cision for our town. It will affect a great number of people.

A lot of people felt the “Y” was not for them because we didn’t have a pool. They do not realize the huge cost for a town of our size. Other options that would be less expensive and would attract more clients, could be a bus to Trenton for kids to take swimming lessons. This should be available for all kids, not just the ones who can afford it. I know some fami-lies would join the Brighton “Y” if there were swimming lessons available for their children. A bus could be available for seniors as well. Aquafit is an excellent ex-ercise for people of all ages (no pulled muscles here).

The “Y” could attract more peo-ple if it was more widely known that you can access the Trenton or

Cobourg “Y” for free two or three times a week if you belong to the Brighton “Y”.

The town needs to subsidize the “Y” enough to keep it here and/or persuade the Health Centre to charge a reasonable rent. ($82,000 a year plus an annual utility sup-plement of approximately $5K is ridiculous). It is important to keep everyone healthy. We would need fewer health care workers for one thing. I was on the “Y” steering committee to get the “Y” to Brighton and believe me it is a lot easier to get rid of it than it is to get it here. It took several years and a great deal of work by a lot of people. The “Y” has worked hard and taken a financial hit as well, to make this space viable. They also make sure that their instructors are fully qualified and are updated regularly. If the “Y” has to leave they will not come back.

Dear Editor,As Canada decides how

to tackle the national debt, it would be a good time to look at our corporate tax rate. The CCPA Monitor carries an al-ternative budget each year with lots of data to back it up. Here are a few facts from this year’s version.

Canada’s corporate tax rate is almost 1/3 that of the USA, our biggest trading partner. It is four percentage points below the next lowest in the developed world, the Nether-lands. Canada is 11 percent-age points below the nearest G8 country, which is the UK, all of which suggests that cor-porations are taking us to the cleaners.

The most dynamic coun-try in the EU is Germany with double our corporate tax rate. So what are corpo-rations doing with all this stash of money? “Investing” is a much-abused word. Years ago it usually meant helping build a company, which em-ployed people. Now it seems more and more, it means hid-ing it from the taxman. Five of Canada’s top eight destina-tions for direct foreign invest-

ment are tax havens.Next, we have the “mas-

ters of industry.” During the last ten years the richest one per cent have received most of the increase in income, but are paying less than all the other income groups includ-ing the bottom ten per cent. High rollers can use a “stock option deduction” on their compensation, which allows them to pay tax at half the rate of the rest of us. Capital gains deduction also allows the tax rate at a half of normal em-ployment taxes. Even those who voluntarily declare hid-den income, actually save on interest apparently at half the amount due, plus none have been charged according to the Globe and Mail.

At the other end where I sit, we are told to save for our retirement, as pensions may not be there for us, while our jobs are outsourced, either in or outside Canada. The tem-porary foreign worker pro-gram alone has killed 300,000 Canadian jobs and depressed wages.

The main loss of jobs it ap-pears is from offshore compa-nies doing work for Canadian

Just exactly how low is too low?

No fluoride in my water pleaseDear Editor,

I was very happy to learn in last week’s paper that our water in Frankford contains no fluoride.

And I’m hoping Quinte West won’t be so foolish as to consider putting it in our water. That would be a tragic decision as fluoride has many health hazards.

First of all it’s a toxic industri-al waste from the manufacture of fertilizer containing lead, arsenic and aluminum. It’s imported from China and marketed as “fluoride.” Another use for this product is rat poison.

Scientific studies of the ef-fects of fluoride use pharmaceuti-cal grade fluoride but this is not what’s put into drinking water.

The “fluoride” placed in wa-ter systems causes osteoporosis, lowers IQ and impairs the thy-roid gland along with many other harmful effects.

It’s not all that effective in re-ducing tooth decay anyway. Most countries in Europe do not fluori-date their water and their teeth are

companies, which would have been done here only a few years ago. Call service centres can operate from India just as well as Canada. A movement to temporary or part-time designation, when workers are in reality, employed full time, also means more poverty down the road as they become unemployed

or too old to perform their trade.While fast food outlets bring

in offshore workers at minimum wage and no benefits to increase profits, it’s worth looking at the top. The CEO of Mac-jobs makes a base pay of a little under a mil-lion dollars, plus stock options of $660.129, plus option awards? Of

$3.2 million, plus incentive pay of $8.6 million, plus other compensa-tion of $324,816 add in the use of a company plane and retirement plan contributions say $14 million to $15 million.

All of the above should be a concern for our three levels of gov-ernment. Presently no one seems

to be taking any notice, while com-pany profits soar.

Capitalism works to maximize profits, yet if the average Joe can-not pay his bills, how will he buy capitalism’s widgets, hire services or pay taxes etc?

Paul Whittaker,Gilmour

just as good as where it is done. I believe people should be

free to make their own decisions about fluoride. We shouldn’t be forced to take a toxic substance which hasn’t even been proven to help teeth. Someone who drank a large amount of tap water would be getting a serious fluoride

overdose.If you look at your tube of

toothpaste, you’ll see a warn-ing that if more than a pea size amount of toothpaste is swal-lowed, you should contact a Poi-son Control Centre immediately. This proves that there’s a known danger from fluoride.

And finally, our water bills are high enough. I’d hate to have to pay extra for something I don’t want and which is easily avail-able to those who choose to use it.

Judy Denham, Frankford

Coming weekends mean mega yard salesEMC News - Stirling - It’s yard sale time and several local organi-zations are taking advantage of the spring to generate some sales and raise funds for local projects and programs.

The Stirling and District Lions Club has been preparing for its In-door/Outdoor Yard Sale this week-end (April 27) at the arena while the Stirling Rotary Club will be hosting its Annual Giant Yard Sale at Good-key’s on the first weekend in May. The Lions Club Sale, both inside and outside the arena, will feature nearly 20 home-based businesses

and their products in the Lions Hall as well as yard sale items donated for the event and available outside.

Lion Ruth Potts, who holds the position of fund-raising chair, says the club has been busy collecting and organizing for the sale and hopes are high the crowds will be in a buying mood. All funds raised through the sale will go back to community needs, Potts says.

Local Rotarians have been on the move as well, collecting for their own sale on the May 4 weekend, which coincides with the Stirling Agricultural Society’s annual Au-

tomotive Flea Market where hun-dreds of vendors will take over the fairgrounds, turning it into an automobile and memorabilia super-market.

The Stirling Rotary Giant Yard Sale gets under way at about 9 a.m. in the parking lot of the Goodkey Service Centre at West Front Street and Frankford Road in Stirling, says Rotarian Terry Vollum, adding, “to arrange to have donated items picked up please call 613-395-2344 and a Rotarian will be pleased to drop by to relieve you of your trea-sures.”

We’re cold, the cats aren’t

Gwynne Dyer

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

By Terry BushEMC Editorial - We’re a little behind in the firewood department this year, a posi-tion one never wants to be in with blackfly and mosquito season just around the cor-ner. Instead of enjoying themselves abroad during the March cutting season, people smarter than we are were busy in the woods, dropping and limbing trees, blocking them up and splitting them into stove-size pieces which are now all neatly stacked, drying in the sun.

Our wood, while it’s down, has not seen fit to find its way anywhere near the woodpile, which now consists of sundry bits of punky maple and small pieces of elm limb wood. Hardly an inspiring sight considering it’s now too wet to go and retrieve a better quality of combustible.

I put the blame for this predicament squarely on the shoulders of our two cats. Sixteen years ago, Zoe and Hamish arrived at our place for a weekend of bottle-feeding.

They never left. This was fine at our original, very humble abode. Third-hand house, sec-ond-hand furniture, shedding, destruction and allergies be damned, Hamish was entertain-ing and Zoe, well, she’s lucky she arrived at the same time as her brother.

Crinkle a piece of paper and there was Hamish, paws on the back of the nearest chair, waiting for you to throw it across the room so he could bring it back and repeat his per-formance. Crinkle anything and unless Hammy was in the middle of some litter box busi-ness, he’d be by your side in a split second. It was so entertaining that we didn’t even ship Hamish out the time he shredded most of my extremities when I tried to catch him the first time he ever slipped outside. Valuable life lesson learned on this occasion. Never try to grab a freaked out cat, who has just spent a half hour hiding in a lilac bush surrounded by catnip. It won’t end well.

So if I didn’t have a problem spending a week hooked up to a penicillin pump to rid myself of cat scratch fever, why do I have a problem with Hamish now.

Three reasons, new house, new furniture and asthma. Everything’s fine until someone loses his breath.

We tried the cats in the basement but the furnace just blew the dander and fur around. So our only recourse was to move them to the garage for the winter. In the summer, each cat has claimed a porch so they can catch us coming and going and despite their advanced ages, they prefer to sleep outside.

Thinking ahead, we saved the cats’ two favourite antique armchairs when we moved and brought them to the new place. They sit on both sides of the woodstove in the garage, which is a lot cozier than our house in the winter. Problem is, the woodstove requires wood, lots of wood, next year’s wood.

So because loyalty is a quality Mare and I both admire and these cats have been nothing but loyal, we burned almost three cords of wood last winter to heat two cats. Not marginal wood mind you, three cords of perfectly seasoned red oak with a little birch thrown in for quick heat and a bed of coals.

Needless to say, those three cords of wood would have gone a long way towards an easy cutting season for yours truly. Now, because we’re behind the proverbial 8 ball, a long and bug-bitten spring awaits. But at least the cats were warm. The things we do for our pets.

And what would an animal story be without a Mister Rolly update for his many fol-lowers.

On Sunday, we went out for a hike and when we came home there was a brown lump of something sitting on the floor in the kitchen. The teeth marks in it meant a scrunched up face with a “yuck” on the lips wasn’t required. On closer inspection it seems as though Mister’s sweet tooth was acting up. He’d made his way into a cupboard, found a bag of brown sugar, eaten all the soft stuff and ended up with a big hard lump to contend with. When confronted, Rolly, as usual, did the walk of shame to his house.

We then went to my mother’s to help clean up her storm damage and when we returned and opened the door, there was vomit everywhere. Upon closer inspection it was discov-ered that Rolly had made his way into another cupboard and worked away at a bag of rolled oats. If he’d wanted porridge for brunch all he had to do was ask. He again did the walk of shame to his house and was locked in.

Last Friday, I arrived home, went to the computer and noticed my glasses and Mare’s glasses were on the floor. The laptop also had the screen tipped back almost flat. Mister!!!

This time round he’d climbed up on a chair, jumped up on the desk, stood on the key-board and then on the screen to reach a soup bowl I’d left on the ledge of the desk. Problem was he’d pressed a series of keys, resulting in the screen being reversed to a negative. Unable to see anything, I had to call work and Deb graciously Googled the problem and relayed the solution back to me.

I then glanced down to see Rolly standing there wagging his tail. Without saying a word, the tail dropped between his legs and off he went to his kennel. For a second I thought I heard him close the door behind himself. The dog proofing will continue.

EMC Editorial - There are, we are told, only two options. Either we stop burning fossil fuels before our carbon dioxide emissions drive the planet’s average temperature up a full 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F), in which case we will push the world into the biggest-ever recession. Or we con-tinue to burn fossil fuels and push the planet into runaway warming, with

lethal consequences for a large part of the human race.The 2008 bank crash that triggered the recent recession was

caused mainly by reckless investment that created a “bubble” in house prices. When the bubble burst, hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of investments suddenly became worthless. The losses were so great that they nearly brought the whole banking system down.

This time the problem is a “carbon bubble.” The market valuation of the world’s 200 biggest oil, gas and coal compa-nies is about $4 trillion, a figure based on the assumed value of their confirmed reserves that are still in the ground. Or, more precisely, a figure based on the assumption that they will eventually be able to sell all of those reserves to customers who want to burn them.

On the strength of that assumption, the fossil fuel compa-nies have been able to take on $1.5 trillion of debt, and last year alone they spent $647 billion in the search for even more oil, gas and coal reserves. But what if they will never be able to sell all of their reserves? What if the need to avoid runaway warming forces governments to curb the burning of fossil fu-els, so that much of those reserves has to stay underground forever?

This is the focus of a new report titled “Unburnable Carbon 2013.” The report’s authors, the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics and the Carbon Tracker Initiative, have the support of organisations like the HSBC and Citi banks, the Standard and Poor’s rating agency, and the International Energy Agency.

Their conclusion is that if we are to have a 50 per cent

chance of stopping the warming before +2 degrees, then at least two-thirds of the currently listed fossil fuel reserves will have to stay in the ground permanently. If they cannot be burned, then they have no economic value. Therefore, the market valuation of the fossil fuel companies is three times higher than it should be.

The report assumes that rationality will prevail, and that at some point a limit will be imposed on the burning of fos-sil fuels. In this new reality, the debt burden of the fossil fuel companies becomes unsustainable and there is a financial meltdown that dwarfs 2008. Global warming is held to +2 degrees, but at the cost of the Mother of All Recessions.

The other option is that no controls are imposed on burn-ing fossil fuels, and the carbon bubble does not burst until the warming breaks through the two-degree limit and triggers the natural feedbacks that will carry us inexorably up to +6 degrees C. That implies mass death and possibly civilisational collapse by the end of the century, but the fossil fuel reserves will retain their assumed value for the meantime and there will be no financial crash.

It’s a grim choice: either financial meltdown if we act de-cisively to halt climate change, or physical meltdown if we don’t. But there is, unfortunately, a third alternative. In fact, it’s the likeliest outcome by far.

First we go on growing our emissions at the current rate (three per cent per year) for the next couple of decades, and the fossil fuel industry thrives. Then, when it’s already too late and we have crossed the +2 degree limit, the actual warming (which always lags the growth in emissions by a decade or more) frightens us into taking action at last.

So we lurch into a crash program to cut fossil fuel use—and suddenly the market wakes up to the fact that a lot of those reserves will have to stay in the ground forever. If you liked the sub-prime mortgage fiasco in 2008, you’ll positively love this one.

It’s not either Disaster A or Disaster B. It’s first one and then the other, interlocking and mutually reinforcing. And Di-saster B will mean there’s no money left to do anything about Disaster A.

The third option

Four days without power is unacceptableDear Editor,

For the second time this year, electricity service to my home has been interrupted for a prolonged period by an electrical power outage. This latest outage lasted 83 hours (four days). Some are still waiting for power to be restored. While I appreci-ate that the ice storm caused havoc across the province and that thousands lost their power, and also understand that rural areas present some unique challenges when it comes to restoring the grid, I fail to comprehend why it took Hydro One so long to restore power in some areas.

In the five years I have lived in this community there have been frequent power outages and several, most notably in 2011, lasted in excess of three days. Is it any wonder people and busi-nesses are reluctant to locate to rural areas that experience ex-tended power outages every time there’s an extreme weather event? This is completely unacceptable!

This is 2013 in southern Ontario, Canada, one of the devel-oped world’s most prosperous and technologically advanced countries, not some third world banana republic. I don’t live at the end of some isolated dirt road miles from anywhere serviced by an antiquated power line (mine is buried under-ground). I live on a major paved county road in a municipality of 12,500 people, many of whom had their power restored a full two days earlier.

Did Hydro One not learn anything from the great ice storm of 1998? It speaks volumes if Hydro One’s present electricity delivery infrastructure and rural power grid is so fragile that a relatively minor ice storm can cause such widespread damage

that it requires four days or longer to repair it. It also begs the question why my telephone landline, which relies on similar (if not shared) infrastructure, remained intact and operational throughout this entire ordeal. Obviously some investments need to be made by the province to upgrade and modernize the rural power grid.

Imagine if the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars squandered by the Ontario Liberal government in cancellation fees for moving gas-fired generating plants around the province for political gain (fees that you’ll be paying for on your hydro bill by the way) had been used instead to update and maintain the electricity delivery infrastructure in rural areas?

Since the Hydro infrastructure is apparently so unreliable in rural Ontario, imagine if the Ontario Liberal government, which has also wasted millions of taxpayer dollars in subsidies for ill-conceived and uneconomically viable “green” solar and wind power schemes, had instead provided subsidies or tax credits toward the purchase of gasoline powered generators that would actually benefit rural Ontario residents during times of emergency power outages.

Will Hydro One, a monolithic monopoly utility, be provid-ing any sort of compensation for the lack of service delivery, out of pocket expenses, loss of income, severe hardship and inconvenience caused by this electrical outage and subsequent delay in service resumption experienced by its customers?

These are all things to ponder the next time you pay your hydro bill … or visit the ballot box.

Health Services Centre celebrates ten yearsBy Ray YurkowskiEMC News - Brighton - At their an-nual general meeting on Monday night, the Brighton Health Services Centre (BHSC) board of directors celebrated ten years in the community.

In an overview of a decade of history in Brighton, board treasurer Bruce Da-vis presented a collection of 160 slides, culled from local newspaper stories and photographs, to tell the story.

“I hope you’re enjoying the slide show,” he said to the few dozen who at-tended the event. “It’s virtually impos-sible to select a top-ten list from these images, but I’m going to give it a try.”

Number one: the business plan. “If you fail to plan, you plan to

fail,” said Davis. “The founding direc-tors prepared a comprehensive plan back in 2001 to operate a community health care centre by providing medi-cal, health, and support services for the general public.

“To be clear, we don’t ‘operate’ the centre: we are only the landlords. Each tenant is responsible for its own opera-tions. We simply provide a space at be-low market rate to tenants who fit our original mission statement of providing health and wellness services to Brigh-ton’s residents.”

Number two: registered charitable status.

Number three: the purchase of the Creekside Banquet Hall.

Number four: municipal courage.“It was one thing for municipal coun-

cil to extend a loan that was fully se-cured by the building,” said Davis. “But it was something else entirely for them to lend us more than a million dollars.

“We had no money. We certainly had the passion and we had a business plan.”

It wasn’t an easy sell. The board of directors was turned down after an ap-pearance before council in March 2003, but a month later; the loan was approved, with conditions.

Number five: Pareto’s Law – 80 per cent of the effect comes from 20 per cent of the cause.

“Our fund-raising efforts seem to bear this out,” explained Davis. “There are about 2,250 names in the donor book and approximately 450 name plates on the donor wall; that’s 20 per cent on the wall, the other 80 per cent in the book.

“Between 2002 and 2008, we raised $2.36 million from donations. Of that amount, individuals, businesses and or-

Accepting as this year’s recipients of the Brighton Health Services Centre community health grant program are, from the left: Lorne Turner, St. Paul’s Anglican Church ($5,000); Ruth Kerr, Codrington Community Association ($1,000); Emily Rowley, Brigh-ton Fare Share Food Bank ($1,000); Dennis Fletcher, VON ($1,000); Leon Hynes, Brighton Minor Hockey ($500); Mary Wilkes, Community Care ($5,000); and John Molenhuis, Brighton Minor Soccer ($500).

ganizations that are displayed on the wall donated $1.83 million. That’s 77.5 per cent of all donations from 20 per cent of the donors. Pretty darn close to the 80/20 rule. They supported this project, not because they wanted their names on full display, but rather because they believed as we do, that this project was great for the community.”

Number six: we were the first.“On April 15, 2005, the Premier of Ontario and

the Minister of Health announced, in this very room, the creation of 52 Family Health Teams,” said Davis. “Today, there are 200 Family Health Teams in the province.

“The Minister described Brighton as a ‘poster community,’ and clearly stated that much of Brigh-ton’s model had been considered and, in fact, in-corporated in the Family Health Team model that was eventually rolled out across the province.”

Number seven: paid in full.Number eight: self-sustainability.A $1,075,000 loan that was structured to be paid

off in ten years was paid in full in less than five,” said Davis. “No more loan principal payments. No more loan interest payments. And no more fund raising required.”

Number nine: it’s time to give back.“In 2008, with our financial shape improving,

the board of directors decided it was in a position to establish the Community Health Grant Program,” said Davis. “Since 2008, we have supported 19 community organizations with just under $80,000 of direct financial support.”

Number ten: Brian.“Where would we be without [the late] Brian

Todd?” said Davis. “Brian was, and continues to be, the Brighton Health Services Centre.”

“As you can see, this project continues to evolve,” added Davis. “It will, no doubt, have more challenges along the way, but I am confident this board will be able to address them and solve them, because resiliency is a trait we have all come to embrace over the last ten years.”

Anna Poste receives Volunteer Achievement Award

EMC News - Trenton - The Sport Alliance of Ontario, with support from the Ministry of Tour-ism, Culture and Sport, recognized the contribu-tions Anna Poste of Trenton has made as a volun-

teer in the sport of golf.Poste, who recently re-

ceived the Dick Grimm Dis-tinguished Service Award from the Golf Association of Ontario, has contributed to the growth of the game at the local, regional, provincial and national levels.

Dave Mills, Executive Di-rector of the Golf Association, commented, “Anna epitomiz-es what volunteerism is all about. Our association, and Golf Canada, depend heavily on the contributions of vol-unteers to achieve our goals, and Anna has given her time

and expertise for many years, simply because she wants to help grow the association and the game. She has made a difference and we are pleased to see her receive the Syl Apps Award as a representa-

By Ray YurkowskiEMC News - Brighton - After ten years, the YMCA is moving out of town.

In a press release issued last week, re-gional YMCA CAO Kyle Barber and op-erations director Eunice Kirkpatrick wrote, “It is with regret that YMCA Northumber-land’s directors have chosen to not renew the Brighton YMCA’s lease with the Brigh-ton Health Services Centre and will close the Membership Centre in October 2013.

“YMCA Northumberland partnered with the Municipality of Brighton in 2003 to deliver affordable fitness and health pro-grams to the community. Unfortunately, the facility has not gained financial sus-tainability over the ten-year lease period. Through discussions with partners, it has become clear that there is no financial vi-ability in continuing on with the operation and we sincerely regret the impact that this decision will have in limiting health and wellness options within the Brighton com-munity.”

“Over the last ten years the municipality has invested more than $250,000 to ensure sustainability of the local YMCA,” said a

municipal media release. Notably, the municipal contribution

included $60,000 in startup costs and $10,000 for marketing support. This year, YMCA officials proposed a new agree-ment: $200,000 from municipal coffers over five years to assure financial sustain-ability. As part of the new deal, the ‘Y’ would invest half in new, updated equip-ment over the term of the lease. The last capital investment at the Brighton facility occurred in 2009.

“Council felt it could not enter into any further long-term commitments but would continue to work with the YMCA and con-sider support on a year-to-year basis,” said Mayor Mark Walas. “It is regrettable that this financial assistance, along with mem-bership fees, was not enough to make the operation self-sufficient.”

How many members would the local branch need to carry on without municipal subsidies?

“We do average around 460 per annum based on seasonal changes,” said Kirkpat-rick. “Currently we have 500 members on roll in our peak season. We would need to

EMC News - Quinte West - With the recent launch of the new Bay of Quinte regional tourism web site, <http://tour-ism.bayofquinte.ca>, the city’s tourism staff are eager to make sure Quinte West has a major presence and that local busi-nesses reap the benefits.

One of the most prominent features of the new site is the Interactive Map that allows businesses the opportunity to claim their location using Google Places at no cost. Visitors to the site will be able to view the region and its offer-ings, finding specific location informa-tion and web links to accommodations, restaurants, events and attractions. “We are thrilled about the new site and its potential for tourism,” explains Bay of Quinte Tourism Executive Director Anne Munro, “… and we think it’s great that Quinte West is taking such a proac-tive approach to involve its stakehold-ers,” she adds.

Quinte West Tourism Staff will be offering a number of free marketing seminars to help engage businesses and attractions in the process, the first

of which is scheduled for Thursday, May 2, 2013, at Quinte West City Hall. The seminar, “How To Market Your Tourism Business,” will introduce op-erators to the new Interactive Map and walk through the process of obtaining a listing. Two sessions are being of-fered to accommodate people’s sched-ules, an afternoon brown bag lunch session from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. and an evening session from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. People are encouraged to Bring Your Own Device – laptop, tablet etc. or take advantage of the computer lab and staff assistance immediately fol-lowing the session. “It’s a great oppor-tunity for Quinte West tourism opera-tors to market their business by taking advantage of this free innovative, pro-motional tool,” notes Councillor Sally Freeman, chair of the city’s Tourism Services Committee.

Those interested are encouraged to RSVP to Tourism Co-ordinator Jennifer Rushlow at 613-392-2841 Ext.4479 or [email protected]. For more in-formation visit <www.quintewest>.

Quinte West tourism to help put businesses “on the map”

Brighton YMCA will be closing its doorsaverage approximately 700 without any funding support.”

Contributing to membership concerns was the opening of a much larger location in Trenton, which offers more amenities. That, and the proximity of the Cobourg location sealed the Brighton club’s fate. But the news came as a shock to the local membership.

YMCA officials say the Brighton staff will be offered job opportunities at other

centres.“For sure we will be working with the

management teams at both the Cobourg YMCA and the Quinte YMCA with re-gards to employment and volunteer oppor-tunities for our staff and volunteers over the next few months,” said Kirkpatrick.

As well, the Brighton “members are assured seamless transfer to Quinte West YMCA or to the Cobourg YMCA. Provi-sions will also be made to reimburse any

unused portion of membership fees, if re-quested.”

But, for now, it’s business as usual, at least until October.

The decision to vacate the Brighton Health Services Centre won’t affect the bottom line, at least in the short term, says board treasurer Bruce Davis.

“We are disappointed with the YMCA’s decision,” he said. “But we are confident that we will attract a new tenant or tenants.”

Food bank launches Spring Food DriveBy Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - A “Fill the Truck” event on Saturday, May 4, will bring desperately needed supplies to the Care and Share Food Bank of Trenton and Area.

“We have fi ve drop sites,” ex-plained food bank manager Al Teal.

Drop sites include the Food Bank itself at 38 Guelph Street, St. Paul Secondary School park-ing lot, Wesleyan Church on Dix-on Drive, Trenton High School parking lot on King Street and Mystical Distributing (former Crane building) on North Sidney

Street. “All the grocery stores will

also have drop boxes,” Teal add-ed.

What is urgently needed is canned vegetables, soup mixes, pasta, cereal, soup, canned fi sh, juice packs, chewy bars and tea.

“I know the community will support us,” said Sue Nigro, chair of the board. “The food bank is urgently in need of help. Since January our numbers have skyrocketed and donations have plunged. Our shelves are full of empty boxes and relatively little food.”

She said trucks and volunteers

will be posted at the fi ve conve-nient and easily accessible loca-tions from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Also, donations of cheques are gratefully accepted at the food bank Monday, Tuesday, Thurs-day and Friday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. by Al Teal. Cheques can also be mailed to Care and Share Food Bank, 38 Guelph Street, Trenton, Ontario, K8V 4G4. All donations are eligible for tax receipts.

“We serve all of Quinte West,” Teal added.

Their territory runs from Montrose Road west to Smith-fi eld Road and from just south of

Stirling to the Murray Canal.Teal noted they also work with a satellite of the Food Bank

in Frankford, which is a small “Pantry” run by the churches.He said numbers have increased dramatically, rising by 25

per cent in three years.“It’s a sad story,” he said. “The numbers are going up but

the food is not.”He said the food bank normally has a food drive in October

and there was also a collection before Christmas, but this is the fi rst time they have found it necessary to have another food drive in the spring.

“I don’t know why,” he said. “There have been cutbacks in Social Assistance and changes in Employment Insurance. We are also getting a lot of seniors in here now who can’t make ends meet on their pensions. They are not geared to the cost of living index,” he said.

Teal said they may have to cut back on giving out “luxury items” like sugar, tea and coffee in the food boxes.

“We are seeing people we never would have seen a few years ago,” Teal added. “This is the worst I have seen since I’ve been here.”

Food Banks Canada is also promoting “Hunger Awareness Week” from May 6 to 10, noting that over 900,000 Canadi-ans rely on food banks each month.

By Ray YurkowskiEMC Lifestyles - Brighton - Who knew fund raising could be so much fun?

The event: a spring fashion show, held last week-end at Trinity-St. Andrew’s United Church community hall.

What started out as a thank-you from the Time-Out Tea-Time Ladies Fellowship in appreciation for a place to hold their monthly meetings has turned into a real crowd pleaser and an annual event. About 200 people attended this year’s show and, says organizer Jean Finkle, they’re already in the planning stages for number three, in 2014.

This was a fashion show for the rest of us. There were no rail-thin haut monde models here; these were real people showing off styles everyone could envi-sion wearing. The fashions came from Dragonfly and accessories from G. Boyd Boutique, both in Brighton.

“Real women, of all ages,” was how MC Sandy Pasko of Dragonfly described it.

After the event, the Ladies Fellowship presented the Reverend Ken Lewis with a donation of more than $2,800 in support of the community hall build-ing fund.

WEEKLY SPECIAL

EMC Entertainment - Belleville - Big band and dance fans in the Quinte area will have a two-concert chance to sit and listen, tap their toes or even get up and dance when The Com-modores present Big Band Sing ’n’ Swing in Maranatha Church on the weekend of May 10 and 11.

The two-concert weekend is in aid of the Belleville General Hospital Auxiliary and is a repeat of a similar effort which drew huge crowds last year and raised between $5,000 and $6,000.

This year adds a special touch as the hospital auxiliary is celebrating its 75th anniversary.

Commodores leader Andy Sparling said this concert is a salute to famous big band vocal groups like The Mod-ernaires, the Andrews Sisters, Star-busters, the Pied Pipers and others with new arrangements and “a com-pletely new show,” he said.

Guest vocal ensemble for the show will again be the popular local song

Swing the night away to the oldiesteam, For the Love of a Song.

“Concert-goers will have a dance floor to cut loose on,” Sparling promised.

“The two concerts last year was the first time our two groups had come together for a show,” said Sparling. “It worked so well and the audience response was so good, we’re performing together again.”

He added the two will actually be doing three shows together this year: the 7 p.m. Friday, May 10, and 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, May 11, in Maranatha and again on September 22 in the Stirling Festival Theatre as part of

the Trenton Big Band Festival.The audience for the hospital benefit can relive hits of

the past such as Accentuate the Positive, Don’t Fence Me In, Moonlight Serenade and many others.

Tickets are now on sale at the Ma-ranatha Church office and will also be available at the door at concert times at $20 each.

EMC News - Stirling - Kingston author Millie Morton will be appearing at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library on May 2 to talk about a well-re-membered local teacher.

Morton’s mother, Grace, is both the subject and the title of her new book, which examines the life of a woman who “taught children who wrote on slates and children who used computers.”

The discussion and reading from Grace: A

teacher’s life, one-room schools, and a century of change in Ontario will begin at 1 p.m. next Thurs-day in the library’s meeting room and is scheduled to run until 2:30.

Millie Morton is a sociologist who grew up on a farm near Stirling and attended a one-room el-ementary school at Wellman’s. In Grace, she tells of her mother’s early years and remarkable life as a teacher.

Students hit the streets for Earth Day cleanupBy Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - Nearly 100 students from Stirling Senior School descended on the downtown core

Students from Stirling Senior School spent part of their Earth Day morning cleaning up the village as their part in this year’s Trash Bash.

Tuesday morning to do a little spring clean-ing.

The annual Trash Bash, which coincided with Earth Day, saw students, equipped with gloves and garbage bags, arrive at the historic train station and ready for a little dirty work. From there they were divided into groups and sent in different directions on garbage detail. And when the work was completed about an hour later the cleanup crew arrived back at the

station where members of the Stirling Rotary Club hosted a barbeque lunch with food and drink provided through the support of local sponsors.

Rotarian Caragh O’Neill-Lewis organized the annual event again this year and hopes for even bigger things in future.

“It’s really amazing what they can do in an hour,” O’Neill-Lewis says of the dozens of students who took part in what has become a

“It’s really amazing what they can do in an hour.”

spring ritual. But while they made short work of the village’s core, she says, there weren’t enough partici-pants to clean up other areas nearby that are equally in need.

“It would be great if we could do more up toward the arena,” she says, noting a group equal to the size of the Stirling Senior contingent could make a huge difference there as well. “Maybe next year,” she says, of ex-tending the cleanup, hopeful other youth or sports organizations will be

interested in taking part as well.Along with the students, five

teachers and numerous Rotarians were on hand to celebrate Earth Day and show their collective community spirit. Many of the participating stu-dents posed triumphantly in front of numerous garbage bags, with some of the larger items collected from the ditches and gutters including a satel-lite dish, tires and car parts.

“It’s just really good for the com-munity,” says Rotarian Terry Vollum of both the group approach and the end result. And, he adds, the burgers were thoroughly enjoyed as well.

Food for the barbeque, which in-cluded hamburgers, buns and con-diments, was provided by Stirling Foodland. Gloves and bags were supplied by Home Hardware and bottled water was provided by Oak Hills Water.

By Kate EversonEMC Lifestyles - Trenton - The tables were side by side at the Home Show and both sides were promoting the same thing—good gardening.

“We do get along,” said Marlene Phillips of Belleville, a member of the Quinte Tweed Master Gardeners Club.

“Yes we do!” Joan Gray of the Tren-ton Horticultural Society and Garden Club said with a smile.

Together the clubs had a lot to offer those budding green thumbs in the com-munity. Information on plants and gar-dens, flowers and floral designs were all there for the taking.

“We are having our annual plant sale on May 18,” said Kathy Hallick of the Trenton Horticultural Society.

This is a popular event and plant en-thusiasts are encouraged to come early to get the best deals, or any plants at

all. It starts at 8:30 a.m. at 455 Dundas Street West (Chiropractic Centre park-ing lot) and goes until they’re sold out, which happens fairly soon. Proceeds will be used for the club gardens at Vic-toria Park, Centennial Park and Trenton Memorial Hospital. For more informa-tion contact Wendy at 613-394-1694 or email <[email protected]>.

Membership to the club is only $15 a year and meetings are held at 7 p.m. the third Thursday of the month at Grace United Church in Trenton except for July, August and December.

The annual flower show and tea room will be held July 20 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Trenton Lions Club at 77 Camp-bell Street. For more information call Joan at 613-392-2572.

“It’s nice at the Lions Hall,” Joan said

smiling. “They have air conditioning!”

Smaller lot sizes approved for Appledene subdivision

By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - The Plan-ning Advisory Committee has approved higher density, smaller lot sizes in the Appledene subdivision.

“This is interesting,” commented Jim Harrison. “Does our Official Plan allow higher density? What other subdivisions are similar to this?”

Brian Jardine, manager of Planning Services, said the change will not have a large impact on the subdivision. “It is consistent with other subdivisions,” he said. He named Brookshire Meadows as an example.

Jim Harrison noted, “You could get a lawn mower between two houses.”

Mayor John Williams added, “Only if it’s sideways.”

The rezoning amendment applies to property owned by Murray Township Farms on Part Lots 5 and 6 Concession A, former Township of Murray. The property is located west off Appledene Drive and east of 2nd Dug Hill Road. The land has a total area of five hectares (13 acres).

“The effect of the amendment is to enable the next phase of the subdivision by removing the holding symbols on these portions of land,” noted area plan-

ner Andrea Furniss.The higher density zone will allow

for a reduced side yard from five metres to 4.5 metres and to exclusively permit single detached dwellings. The zone permits a reduced lot frontage and front lot line requirement and a reduced side yard, and rear yard. The zone will be limited to 99 homes.

Rodeo comes to the Friendly City

Belleville’s first-ever rodeo held a special kickoff event at Boston Pizza on Tuesday, April 16. Photo: Steve JesselBy Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - The Quinte Exhibition has been entertaining families since 1821, but this year for the first time the exhibition is bring-ing in a fully sanctioned competitive rodeo.

Taking place on June 15 and 16 at the Quinte Ex fairgrounds, the Raw-hide Rodeo offers thousands of dollars in prize money to over 100 competitors from four countries, who also compete for valuable points to increase their spot in the overall rankings. Rawhide Rodeo puts on roughly 100 rodeos per year across North America.

“I want to bring a real rodeo to town. I want to bring a rodeo where people do this for a living,” Cotten said.

Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis was on hand for the announcement, and said it was a great event and praised all the volunteers who are taking part.

“When you have a board that’s will-ing not only to take a risk on a rodeo, but have it partner with other organi-zations to raise funds for our commu-nity, that’s what it’s about.”

Proceeds from the rodeo will ben-efit the agricultural society and Quinte Healthcare to purchase new medical equipment.

“We’re a non-profit organization, so we think it’s important to give back to the community, and especially to Quinte Healthcare so that they can buy equipment,” Cotten said. “It’s some-

thing that everyone benefits from.”Ryan Williams, president of the Bay of Quinte Tour-

ist Council, was equally generous with his praise for the event, and said it has great potential to draw tour-ists to the region.

“We’re really excited about this,” Williams said. “This is an amazing event, not only for the community when we talk about raising funds, it’s great for tourism.”

For more information, visit <www.qer.ca>.

“In the last three years, the Quinte Exhibition has been changing its face a little bit,” said Bel-leville Agricultural Society president Marilynne Cotten. “Rather than just bringing to you your annual fair … we’re starting to bring different

events to Bel-leville, and one of the events that we wanted to bring was a rodeo.”


SPORTS

By Steve JesselEMC Sports – Belleville - The Belleville Bulls face an uphill battle in their Eastern Conference final matchup with the Barrie Colts, and with the team trailing 2-1 in their best-of-seven series the stakes have never been higher.

After the Bulls clinched the series opener with a slim 3 - 2 win in game one on the back of two goals from Austen Brassard, Bel-leville had a chance to take a 2 - 0 lead on home ice on Saturday, April 20, but faltered in a 5 - 0 blowout loss. Despite outshooting the Colts, the Bulls simply couldn’t beat Barrie goaltender Mathias Niederberger, who made 32 saves for his second shutout of the play-offs. The Bulls were missing leading scorer Tyler Graovac with an upper body injury, and it showed. Despite the high shot to-tal, quality scoring opportunities were few and far between for the top-seeded Bulls, and the Colts were dominant on puck possession at various times throughout the game. Meanwhile, on the defensive end, Malcolm Subban allowed five goals on 23 shots, and didn’t return for the third period after being replaced by Charlie Graham. The Bulls just couldn’t stop Winnipeg Jets NHL draft selection Mark Scheifele, who scored the game’s first two goals and assisted on another for three points on the night. Scheifele leads all play-off scorers with seven goals and 15 assists through 11 games.

“With the energy that was in the building tonight, disappoint-ing to go through a night like we did,” Bulls head coach and GM

High stakes in OHL Eastern Conference finals

George Burnett said during a press conference following the game. “They were very opportunistic at the mistakes that we made; they capitalized.”

With the series tied 1 - 1, action shifted to Barrie for game three on Monday night, where the Bulls overcame a two-goal second-period deficit but couldn’t overcome Anthony Camara’s game winning overtime goal with five seconds remaining, and fell by a 5 - 4 score to give Barrie a 2 - 1 series lead. M. Subban made 43 saves in the loss while Graovac returned to record a goal and an assist, but Colts centre Zach Hall led all scorers with three points, including an assist on the game winner to lead Barrie to the win.

The Bulls opened the scoring in the first period when Joseph Cramarossa was left wide open at the side of the net to bury his fifth of the play-offs, but the lead was short-lived. Hall responded just over two minutes later on the powerplay, and before the period was up Barrie struck again. Mitchell Theoret scored his OHL-leading tenth goal with 1:30 left in the first period, and Barrie opened the second period with a 2 - 1 lead over the visiting Bulls. Graovac was there to answer in the second period, taking a pass on the rush to knot the score at 2 - 2, but Barrie was again able to respond, scoring twice more in the period to give them a 4 - 2 lead with 12:36 left in the second period. The Bulls showed some resolve, however, with Garett Hooey and Jake Cardwell scoring 35 seconds apart, and af-ter a scoreless third period the two teams headed to overtime.

Both goalies were under siege in the extra frame, with Bel-leville especially active to record 15 shots, but they just couldn’t squeeze one home. Instead, with time winding down, Hall centred the puck to Camara, who made no mistake to snap home a shot past M. Subban and give Barrie the thrilling 5 - 4 victory. Game four took place on Wednesday night, however the score was not available by press time. The series returns to Belleville for game five on Friday, April 26, starting at 7:05 p.m.

Cavity Free For Life?

Dr. Brian Ho

Dr. Brian Ho is a practicing general dentist in Trenton, Ontario. He can be reached at Trenton Family Dental, 613.394.3883. For further information and discussion, please visit his office at www.trentonfamilydental.com.

In previous issues, the topic of discussion has been tooth decay and its causes. We also described three key components to the process of tooth decay. The first of these keys is cavity-causing bacteria and the second key is sugar. We have learned that if you feed the cavity-causing bacteria with sugar, they will eat the sugar and release lactic acid, which will create holes. These holes are what we call cavities.

Now let’s talk about the third and final key.

Third Key – Plaque

Plaque is the buildup of bacteria mixed with a number of substances that are attached to the tooth surface. Think of the plaque as a housing complex for the cavity-causing bacteria. In order for these cavity-causing bacteria to create holes in our teeth, they must stay close enough to the tooth surface to cause damage. To accomplish this, bacteria work together to form housings that allows them to remain in close proximity to teeth. We call these complexes plaque.

Here is a diagram to summarize the interaction of the three keys of tooth decay.

As you can see, all three keys must be present at the same time in order to get cavities. If you can control any one of these keys, you could be cavity free for life.

Bacteria Control

• Do not share spoons with infants or avoid mouth-to-mouth contact for at least two years after the appearance of their first tooth (This is usually around 6 months old). This will allow other non-cavity causing bacteria to grow first so that there won’t be enough room for the bad bacteria to sneak in.

• Controlling acidity in the mouth by using mouth rinses specially formulated for this purpose. One product that I recommend is called Cari-Free. Ask your dentist or search for it online. These bacteria tend to function poorly under alkaline conditions which can be achieved with mouth rinses like Cari-free.

• Chew gums containing Xylitol. Xylitol is a sugar-like substance that is taken up by cavity-causing bacteria. However, because the bacteria cannot utilize this sugar-like substance, bacterial death is the result.

Sugar Control

• Consume less sugar • Limit the frequency of sugar intake • Use sugar substitutes in your diet, like Splenda, Sugar Twin, Equal, etc.

Plaque Control

• Brush at least two times a day for 2 minutes. • Use an electric toothbrush • Floss daily (Try flossing while watching TV, it’s a great habit to adopt.) • Visit your dentist at least twice a year.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Former teacher re� ects on emotional Boston MarathonBy Bill FreemanEMC News - Salem, Massachusetts “We need to fi nish what we started,” says John Young, a former Norwood District High School math teacher who was nearing the fi nal mile of the Boston Marathon when the serene and joyous day turned horror-fi lled tragedy.

Young, an elite para-athlete now living in Salem, Massachusetts, was the fi rst male dwarf to compete in the world’s most famous marathon. He and his friend Juli Windsor would have made history as the fi rst dwarves to cross the fi nish at Copley Square.

Young, 48, will be back next year for himself and those who were killed and injured and especially for his wife Sue and son, Owen, who were sitting directly across from one of the bomb sites on Boylston Avenue.

Young is an accomplished triathlete but relatively new to long-distance run-ning; he has one marathon and three half-marathons under his belt and is an inspirational fi gure to aspiring ath-letes, little people and able-bodied, as his large and loyal following on Twitter and Facebook attests.

He feels “healthier and more ener-gized” since discovering the world of multi-sports fi ve years ago

“I feel much younger than I did even ten years ago” Young told the Trent Hills Regional News.

The Boston Marathon is every run-ner’s dream. For Young, the contrasting emotions that day were extraordinary: from the ecstasy of riding the bus with 48 other runners to the start line in Hop-kington to the madness hours later and the frantic worries about his family.

“Riding on the bus with other run-ners was an amazing experience. We had a police escort and all the stop-lights were set for us,” he said.

He started at 9 a.m. with other mo-bility-impaired runners.

“That meant for a while we would be in the lead. For at least 90 minutes there weren’t many other runners; it was so exciting having hundreds of fans seem-ingly cheering just for me.

“Once the race was stopped I [was in] in a funk wondering how what seemed like an amazing day in my life could have changed so quickly. But it didn’t take long for all of us who were

Former NDHS math teacher John Young was just about to enter the � nal mile of the Boston Marathon when the bombs went o� . He is the � rst male dwarf to compete in the famous race.

When the � nish line area of the Boston Marathon at Copley Square is re-opened to the general public former NDHS teacher John Young will return to the 26-mile spot where he was stopped and complete his run.

running to say we’ll be back in 2014. We need to fi nish what we started.

“Sue and Owen witnessed the blasts so they’re struggling as well; Owen especially wonders why anyone would want to hurt innocent friends and family watching the marathon. Things are getting better but it will take time.”

The whole thing was “scary,” he says.When he found out what had happened he was “dazed

for a minute.”

He had his cell phone and got a message from Sue saying they were all right.

“She was crying telling me what had happened but that both were okay. I told her to leave the city as quickly as pos-sible and I’d be home as quickly as I could.”

“I walked for a while until a friend contacted me and was able to pick me up and get me out,” he said. “The ‘shelter in place’ situation was scary as well. I’m amazed they found the suspects so quickly; the fact that one is dead and the

Final preparations for annual auto � ea market

Preparing for the Annual Stirling Auto Flea Market on May 4 and 5, Stirling Agricultural Society vol-unteers mark out vendor sites at the fairgrounds. Pictured are (from left) Larry Detlor, Jason Detlor and Jeremy Solmes.

By Richard TurtleEMC Events - Stirling - Volunteers from the Stirling Agricultural Society were busily marking out a grid on the fairgrounds last weekend in preparation for the hundreds of vendors set to arrive at the organization’s Annual Auto Flea Market in May.

But Agricultural Society President Jason Detlor says there remains a lot of confusion around the an-nual show, display and sale of car parts and related memorabilia after a decision was made by organizers last year to move the event to a larger site. That’s when the Stirling Agricultural Society stepped in.

Detlor says news of the move came as a surprise to many, including the SAS, and did not involve any con-sultation with vendors. Many, he adds, were strongly committed to the local venue and the signifi cant and pre-dictable crowds experienced here over the course of 40 years.

“We still have people calling to see if we’re still go-ing,” Detlor says of the market that was fi rst held in Spring Brook 43 years ago, “and we’re defi nitely going. We want people to know this is still an annual event in Stirling.”

With 520 sites booked for the weekend of May 4 and 5, Detlor says crowds are again expected to reach several thousand. Visitors to the show in recent years, he says, have numbered about 8,000. The fairgrounds will be open

other arrested has not closed the book in my view.”

Young really didn’t think about running a marathon until last year. He volunteered at the Boston Marathon in 2010 and watched at mile 26 last year.

“I remember telling the cop work-ing that site I would be there running in 2013.”

Once the finish line area is re-opened

to the public Young plans on “taking a quiet trip” to Boston and finish the race from where he was stopped.

He was given a finisher’s medal but won’t wear it.

“I plan on bringing that medal with me when I race next year. When I cross the line I’ll proudly place the medal around my neck along with my 2014 medal.”

Local man reflects on Boston tragedy

from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. both days and Detlor adds the market will be set up much like those in recent years.

Jeremy Solmes, whose grandfather Roy Solmes was instrumental in launch-ing the first annual car lovers’ events more than 40 years ago, says the found-er would have been pleased to see the opening of this year’s show in Stirling. Roy Solmes passed away in April of last year but, his grandson says, he remained a staunch supporter of the Flea Market until the end. “This was his baby,” Jer-emy says of the annual event, “so that’s why I’m here. And I know he wasn’t in favour of it going to Lindsay.

“That and Hockeyville were the two things he talked about the last time I saw him.”

Following its beginnings in Spring

Brook, the Stirling Auto Flea Market remained a fund raiser for the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) until last year when organizers an-nounced a move to Lindsay for 2013 and future shows. At the time of the announcement, increased parking and a larger show site were cited as reasons for the move.

But the local agricultural society then responded to vendor concerns by pro-viding a venue in Stirling and continu-ing the show here while others agreed to pull up stakes and move to the Lindsay fairgrounds on the same weekend.

Organizers here are confident that, with the support shown by vendors this year, the crowds will return to the Stirling fairgrounds on the first week-end in May.

Annual auto flea market almost ready

By Ray YurkowskiEMC News - Brighton - At approxi-mately 1 p.m. on April 18, a local resident observed a kite surfer, who appeared to be in danger, in the waters of Lake Ontario

and called police.The lone male kite surfer was seen

about one kilometre from shore from a Lakehurst Street address and, although was he not waving in distress, appeared he was

Cowabunga dude! Weren’tcha cold?having difficulty in the choppy water.

Ontario Provincial Police, Brighton Fire Department, Quinte West Fire Department and the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre (JRCC) from Canadian Forces Base Tren-ton were contacted for a rescue effort. But prior to their arrival, a lone male in a wet suit and no life jacket entered the water

with a canoe, ignoring the commands of police and fire officers already at the scene.

The canoeist managed to rescue the surfer and landed on shore near Po-pham Lane, just south of Lakeshore Road. The JRCC helicopter arrived but was not required as both males were al-ready on shore.

The surfer was checked by firefighters but refused medical attention. It was deter-mined he got his feet caught in the lines of the sail and could not remedy the situation.

The surfer, the canoeist—believed to be his son—and other family members at the scene did not co-operate with police, says a press release.

By Sue DickensEMC Lifestyles - Trent Hills - Organizers of a juried photography show are currently seeking entries for the first-ever event that features jurors from the Canadian Branch of the Royal Photographic Society.

“All photos must be submitted by digital file between May 3 and midnight on May 12,” said local photography enthusiast Paul Hazell, one of the jurors for the Warkworth Lilac Festival photography contest.

“In 2012 I was approached by the Royal Photographic Society and asked to become a member of their board of directors, Canadian Chapter,” commented Hazell, who is also president of the River Valley Photographic

Society which meets the third Tuesday of each month at the Hastings Civic Centre.

“The contest is open to everyone. There is an open category and a junior category for kids 16 and under who can enter for free,” said Hazell.

Entries are being sought from photogra-phers of all ages and who can submit up to three photos.

Cash prizes will be awarded for first, sec-ond and third place as well as a People’s Choice Award and youth prize.

“We want current photographs but will ac-cept those taken in the last two years,” com-mented Hazell.

The open category will have an emphasis

EMC News - Tweed - Tweed Music Festivals Inc., pro-ducers of the annual “Tweed Tribute To Elvis Festival,” are very pleased to announce their Celebrate Ontario 2013 application has been successful. The Ontario government, through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, is providing $20,800 in support of the festival this year.

TMF President Jim Keniston commented that “the On-tario government is committed to building a strong econo-my and creating jobs in communities across the province.” The local festival and associated events give Ontario fami-lies and visitors another reason to explore this wonderful region. By helping festivals like ours grow they enhance the visitor experience, and that translates directly into in-creased attendance. The support of the province is further

Juried photography show seeks entries

Festival receives fundingvalidation of the high standards set in the Tweed Tribute To Elvis Festival planning and execution.

The province reports that “Tra-ditionally, festivals and events that received Celebrate Ontario funding greatly exceeded program perfor-mance measures. For example, in 2011 there was an increase of 1.1 mil-lion visitors (an 18 per cent increase in visitor attendance) to these festivals and events, and over $165 million in visitor spending over 2010.”

Keniston went on to recognize and compliment TMF Treasurer Bonnie Jussila’s efforts in preparing the ex-tensive documentation required for application to Celebrate Ontario.

“Without Bonnie’s commitment and enthusiasm we would not be the beneficiary of this fantastic windfall. We will use our Celebrate Ontario funding in advancing and expand-ing our already extensive marketing program, aiming to draw guests from even farther afield than in past years. I know this support will help us take our event to the next level and to make our visitors’ experience even better.”

on lilacs but other subjects will be accepted.

“The festival involves people interacting with each other dur-ing events both in and around the Warkworth area, so feel free to take photos of anything that looks inter-esting to you,” said Hazell.

British-born photographer Jeff Gerald, of Thornhill, is the second juror for the photography show.

Known for his photographic wiz-ardry, Gerald has been recognized by the Royal Photographic Society which awarded him distinction in the categories of wedding portrai-ture and photographic art.

He has done quite a bit of work with TV studios in the UK and has more than 15 years of international experience in the Australia, the UK, Canada and the U.S.

“We are hoping to get some out-standing work from amateurs and hobbyists,” he told Trent Hills Re-gional News.

“The show is not just open to pro-fessionals and semi-professionals, it is open to anyone with an interest in photography,” he explained.

Both he and Hazell are hoping the show will generate interest in the Royal Photographic Society as well.

“Thinking outside the box always leads to interesting photos,” com-mented Hazell, who said he became interested in photography at the age of 14.

“My first camera was an Olym-pus half-frame semi automatic camera, a great little camera that allowed me to take 72 photos from a 36 exposure roll of film,” he said acknowledging that those days are a thing of the past.

Now it’s all digital.Co-founder of the River Valley

Paul Hazell, president of the River Valley Photographic Society which meets in Hastings, and a member of the board of directors of the Royal Photographic Society, Canadian Chapter, is one of two jurors who will be judging entries in the first-ever Warkworth Lilac Festival photography con-test.

Photographic Society in 2009, he has seen it expand “by becoming affiliated with the world’s oldest con-tinuous photographic club, the Royal Photographic Society,” which was formed in 1853.

“We’re so proud to have the Society participating in the show,” said Hazell.

The Society is spreading the world on its web site with news of the contest, <www.rps.org/region/Cana-dian-Chapter>.

TRAVEL

By John M. SmithEMC Lifestyles - I recently had the good fortune to go to Wiscon-sin’s Fox Cities area with a group of travel writers, and while here I watched the creation of my first awesome cheese sculpture. I’ve, of course, seen some pretty impres-sive wood, sand, and ice sculptures in my travels, but I’ve never actu-ally witnessed such a cheese “work of art” before.

Since this event took place in Wisconsin, it indeed seemed to be a most appropriate setting for working with cheese, and re-nowned sculptor Troy Landwehr put on this demonstration for us in Neenah’s Bergstrom Mahler Muse-um. Here I was able to watch him take an ordinary looking 40-pound block of cheddar cheese and create an extraordinary bouquet of tulips in a Fox Cities tourist bag – in less than two hours! It was certainly impressive! He then sprayed the “creation” with a cooking spray, to make it glisten for the “photo ops,” and then gave it to the Fox Cities CVB to put on display and eventu-ally eat!

Troy, who has appeared on the David Letterman Show, and has sculpted blocks of cheese inter-nationally in such destinations as Great Britain and Hong Kong, told me cheese is his favourite medium to work with, for “there’s abso-lutely no waste. All the shavings/scraps can be eaten, too,” and unlike ice sculptures, his creations don’t melt.

I asked him about his biggest accomplishment, and he told me that he once carved a ton of cheese into the signing of the Declaration of Independence. He was inside a cooler to work on this piece, for “it took about a week to complete.” This particular work of art was then displayed in New York’s Times Square for the Fourth of July Celebrations.

In addition to admiring Troy’s work with cheese, I also had to taste some of those delicious cheese scraps and then I explored the museum itself, with its large, spectacular collection of glass paperweights. I even saw a paperweight of Elvis under glass! I also had a hands-on experience when I was able to design my own glass suncatcher which is now proudly dis-played at my home.

The Fox Cities area, which actually consists of 19 communities along the Fox River, is located in east central Wisconsin. The largest of its communities is Appleton, which is the home of the Fox River Mall, the second largest shopping mall in the entire state. Therefore, a lot of avid shoppers are attracted, after all, Fox Cities is known as “Wisconsin’s Shopping Place.” I was particularly impressed by the mall’s large sports store, “Scheels,” for it had a wide variety of sporting goods, including a “try before you buy” archery shooting range!

And speaking of sports, Appleton is home to base-ball’s “Wisconsin Timber Rattlers” (the Milwaukee Brewers class A team), and it’s also where you’ll find “Vince Lombardi’s Steakhouse.” Any older NFL fan will remember the famous former coach of the Green Bay Packers, and this steakhouse features a lot of his memorabilia, including portraits, a replica of Super Bowl I, and a special Super Bowl Room. This restaurant is located in the Radisson Hotel, which is where all visiting NFL teams stay when they’re about to take on the Green Bay Packers. It’s located less than an hour from the stadium, so the Fox Cities area is definitely “Cheesehead Country.” Many avid fans wear their Wisconsin “cheeseheads” to the games, and they may be purchased almost anywhere.

I found some of this headwear for sale at “Simon’s Specialty Cheese,” a famous cheese outlet; a large cheesehead wedge costs $20 here. Of course, I just had to sample some of the store’s fresh cheese curds and chocolate cheese fudge while I was here! I also had a grilled cheese sandwich on “National Grilled

Cheese Day”! The store’s motto reads: “There’s No Cheese Like Wis-consin Cheese … There’s No Wisconsin Cheese Like Simon’s!”

While in the Fox Cities area, I’d also recommend doing some hiking in High Cliff State Park and/or near the 1000 Islands Environmental Centre. (I did both!) I’d also check out the Paper Discovery Centre (after all, it’s the core industry and this area is known as the “Paper Val-ley”), the History Museum at the Castle (located in a former Masonic Lodge, where you’ll find a very informative Houdini Exhibit), and the Fox Cities Performing Arts Centre (where several Broadway shows

have premiered in the state, and where I was able to see a wonderful performance of The Lion King).

I found that there were lots of things to see and do in Wisconsin’s Fox Cities area, and for more informa-tion, simply visit its web site <www.foxcities.org>.

LIFE

EMC Lifestyles - Gentle Reader, this column was written almost ten years ago. I submit it to my editors every now and then and they graciously run it; I hope the day will come when there is no longer a need. Social con-ditions may take time to change: hun-ger is now.

A 2013 addendum: the need is so great that an unprecedented food drive will be taking place on May 4 week-end. Trucks will be at Trenton High School, St. Paul’s High School, The Wesleyan Methodist Church, the park-ing lot at the old Crane plant on Sidney Street and the doors at the Care and Share Food Bank at 38 Guelph Street will be open. Also, there are drop off points at Price Chopper, Smilies Inde-pendent Grocer, Metro and Bayshore Credit Union.

Care and Share’s web site is <www.trentonfoodbank.ca>.

September 21, 2003It’s been a while since we’ve

strolled down the philosophical garden path, Gentle Reader. Today, though, we’ll take the way less trodden. We have a fairly good understanding as to why we, ourselves, garden. As some old chap mentioned a year or two ago, truth, good and beauty seems to sum up the qualities rather well.

A cynic might say that, truth be told, our flower gardens are merely affecta-tions of the well-to-do. If this seems harsh to read, especially in a garden-ing column, consider this: those of us who can spend time gardening have a.) stewardship of our own bit of this good earth; b.) the monetary resources to purchase the plants and tools need-ed; c.) the luxury of the time to do it; and d.) a lifestyle that allows for the time to even contemplate such a ven-ture unencumbered by the daily need to merely provide for our families.

By the standards of our society, we have worked hard to be able to do this and there should be no negative con-notations assumed for doing so.

However, there is a certain fragil-ity about our comfort that needs to be acknowledged.

We know too well that there are folks in our country, in our own com-munities, who do not enjoy such luxury. These people are not indigent bums who leach off of us. The major-ity are hard-working, proud, valuable members of our community who are astonished to find themselves in such need. All it takes is a factory closure or temporary shutdown to jeopardise many a family’s finances.

Visit your local food bank, ask any social service agency about child pov-erty, talk to the Sally Anns about the desperate need some of our neigh-bours have to deal with every day. Ask them specifically about food. There is no excuse that allows people to go hungry in our land of plenty.

There is a way to affect some tan-gible good with our gardens. It is so simple, grow some extra vegetables or fruits for donation. Plant a Row Grow

a Row is a movement that began in the United States and is spreading across North America. Folks are asked to set aside a patch of their own land specifi-cally for other people. The produce is brought to a central collection place such as the food bank or a commu-nity run greenhouse or garden plots. Depending on the nature of the crop and the immediate need, the food is distributed where it can do the most good. In fact, by inquiring before you plant in the spring, you can sow the veggies most needed, even if it is broccoli or cauliflower.

In Canada, the “seed” organisation is the Composting Council of Cana-da. They have all of the promotional material, planning guidelines and an amazing network of connections that you can access. Visit their web site to get started <www.compost.org/gro-warowintro.html>. Anyone can ini-tiate such a program but it takes the community to bring it to fruition.

That is why you are reading about

EMC Lifestyles - A friend of mine, who works as a 911 dispatcher, recent-ly told me about an emergency call she got from a dad who dialed 911 when he discovered that his teenage daugh-ter had posted naked pictures of her-self on Facebook. He was desperate,

Winning the parenting power struggleand to him this was an emergency. My friend, though, wasn’t amused. She wasn’t in the position to do anything about it, because she wasn’t the girl’s parent. He was.

He was in the midst of the battle of all battles: the parenting power struggle. Yet too often, by the time we have teenagers, we feel helpless. But parents, there is no one else. You are in the unique position to influence your teens’ lives, and you need to take it. Does your teen have a cell phone? Does your teen have a computer? In-ternet access? A comfortable room? Dessert? None of those things is a necessity, and likely most of them are paid for by you. Therefore, you have leverage.

Unfortunately, by the time the Par-enting Power Struggle rages in the teen years winning it is much harder. It’s easier to have an effect when children

are younger. Yet too many parents give up in the early years, perhaps without even realizing it. Their kids don’t want to go to bed until midnight, so they stay up late. The kids want to eat junk food, so the parents serve chicken fin-gers. Because of the absence of argu-ments, the parents feel like the children are obeying, after all, they’ve found no need for discipline. But children can’t obey if no rules are laid down. The parents have thrown in the towel.

Yet what happens when we throw in the towel too early? We don’t end the Parenting Power Struggle. We simply delay it. Think of the amount of free-dom you give your kids as the shape of an upside-down pyramid. When kids are little, you don’t give them much leeway. But because of this, they learn to make good decisions, since you’re providing structure, security, and a moral foundation. As they age,

you can give them progressively more freedom, the wide part of the pyramid, because they won’t abuse it.

If, instead, we let our little ones rule, you’ll find your parenting more like a right-side up pyramid: you’ll have to crack down hard in their teen years. Just when you should be loosening the strings to let them out of the nest, you’re tightening them because you’re scared of what they’ll do.

So how do we enforce standards when they’re young? It doesn’t in-volve being mean, and it certainly doesn’t involve yelling. If you yell a lot but your child never actually changes his or her behaviour, then you haven’t done anything except raise the volume of the house and teach your child to tune you out. How much bet-ter to remain calm, express your disap-proval, and then remove a toy, enforce a time out, or take away TV privileges.

Do something with consequences, and kids will learn. Raise the roof, and kids will keep doing whatever they want to, they’ll just do it more sullenly.

This kind of effective, consequence-based discipline is hard, though, be-cause it requires consistency, and some days we just don’t have the energy to deal with a kid who is screaming be-cause they have lost their game boy, or their Lego, or their chance to watch cartoons.

That’s why we need that long-term perspective. Put in that work in the first five years, and you’ll have less of a chance that your daughter will be broadcasting X-rated pictures of herself ten years later. Don’t be afraid to be the boss, whether your child is seven or 17.

Steering kids in the right direction is what a parent is for. And there really is no substitute.

The need persists

this now, GR. It will take a bit of time to set up the committee, do the adver-tising, and educate the community. It may seem intimidating, but you can do it. In fact, how can you not?

Here’s the beauty of it. All of the qualities that impart joy, contentment and relaxation to you through garden-ing will be realised with your par-ticipation in this campaign. You lose nothing and gain everything. Better yet, this will not detract or take away from any other initiatives; it will only augment them.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Hastings - It’s still early in the planning, but fans of re-stored and classic boats will be happy to know that the Trent Severn Antique & Classic Boat Association is coming back to this summer’s seventh annual Hastings Waterfront Festival August 16 to 18.

The 150-member association couldn’t participate last year because it conflicted with the Big Cruise Big Cause hosted by the Toronto chapter of the Antique Classic Boat Society which re-enacted the 100-mile cruise of the Muskoka Steamships run from Gravenhurst to Natural Park on Little Lake Joseph.

But the classic boats, always a pop-ular draw, will return this year to the Hastings Village Marina, says festi-val committee member Roger Warren who provided a brief update during the most recent Hastings Revitalization Association meeting.

The HRA runs the festival’s food tent.

Warren says the committee “has not yet met a lot this year” so there isn’t a great deal to report but confirmed that

the crowd-pleasing festival will expand to include a Saturday night menu of en-tertainment to go along with its opening Friday evening program, a full-day of Saturday displays, children’s activities, food and music and Sunday’s exhibits and classic car show.

“The committee is about to embark on meetings shortly,” he said.

Some of the entertainment has al-ready been arranged and the classic outboard motor club will also return.

“We’ve had dozens and dozens of requests from vendors but no fees have been set yet,” Warren said.

The big change is the addition of Saturday night’s entertainment which includes the beer garden. The Friday night kickoff concert usually draws over 1,000 people to the south shore marina grounds.

Saturday’s daytime program will be similar to last year’s with its family day theme featuring scores of exhib-its, vendors, artists, heritage displays and children’s events. The Hastings Historical Society is putting together a sports-themed exhibition focusing on NHL hockey legend and Hall of Fam-er Dit Clapper, the Canadian cham-

pion Hastings Legionnaires lacrosse team and Hastings place as a softball mecca.

Last year the HHS put on a railway-themed exhibition.

“Last year there were a number of couples and families looking for enter-tainment [on Saturday night],” Banjo’s Restaurant owner Mike Metcalf said.

“I think that’s where the idea sprung from,” Warren said. “People were wondering why it shutdown Saturday at 5 p.m. It was all a matter of volun-teers.

“To run another seven hours re-quires at least 21 volunteers,” he said.

“Volunteers are key,” festival com-mittee member Camille Edwards agreed. “We are talking long, long days. It’s trying to find the volunteers to man all these different hours. It gets very difficult.”

“The HRA’s involvement is really around food,” Warren noted. “But if you’re not into food [and want to help out] the Waterfront Festival has things for you and would love to hear from you.”

Last year’s Waterfront Festival drew over 5,000 people.

By Ray YurkowskiEMC News - Brighton - Another meeting of Presqu’ile Bay stake-holders, tentatively set for April 29, is looking at inviting more interests around the table while local advocacy group Guardians of Presqu’ile Bay opt out.

In an email sent to meeting orga-nizer, municipal Councillor Tom Rit-twage, group leader, aquatic environ-mental scientist Roger Green, says his group is “too busy” and adds the problem with the first meeting was “excessive fragmentation,” given the number of groups on hand. “It sounds like the second meeting will be even more so.”

According to suggestions, St. Marys Cement; the Nature Conser-vancy; Presqu’ile Ratepayers Asso-ciation; local marina owners; com-mercial fishermen; and the owner of Presqu’ile Bay Outfitters, a business at Gosport, should be included in the talks.

“I think our group has progressed well beyond this sort of meeting,” wrote Green. “We are busy co-ordi-nating with Ontario Ministry of Envi-ronment (MOE), who have confirmed that they will be monitoring Presqu’ile Bay three times this summer at 11 sta-

tions as a result of our efforts persuad-ing them over the last year.

“We just want you to bear in mind, as you go into this second meeting, that we are the only group which is concerned with environmental assess-ment, monitoring, and preservation of Presqu’ile Bay as a whole, and which has appropriate expertise. And we are the group that MOE is working with in that regard.”

Because the Guardians are not yet a registered not-for-profit agency, they were turned down in a recent bid to partner with the Lower Trent Con-servation Authority in applying for a grant through the Great Lakes Guard-ian Fund. The money would have been used to help pay for equipment to supplement MOE testing efforts. But, says Green, all is not lost.

“I have just confirmed we can bor-row sampling equipment from Trent University,” he said. “As well, we ex-pect to be applying to Brighton Coun-cil for some funding.”

Green says a meeting will be orga-nized by MOE to provide municipal officials the details of the monitoring program at the bay. Ministry officers from the Peterborough office, Kings-ton regional office and the Great Lakes Unit (Toronto) are expected to attend.

“I have started the ball rolling on organizing a monitoring workshop which will probably be held next fall at Trent University,” Green added. “It will be organized as a case study mod-elled on the design and analysis of the Presqu’ile Bay monitoring study. At-tendees are expected to include MOE staff and Trent University faculty and graduate students.”

By Sue DickensEMC News - Warkworth - Bike inspections and mini tune-ups, safety sessions and les-sons are all part of a bike clinic and barbeque being hosted by The Bridge Hospice (TBH) healing cycle riding team.

Any hospice palliative care organization that wants to raise money through the annual Healing Cycle Ride in Mississauga can enter a team and TBH supporters are gearing up for the big event.

“One hundred per cent of the funds raised by our team will go directly to The Bridge Hospice,” said David Pollack, one of the cy-clists who will be participating in the healing cycle ride which takes place June 23 in Mis-sissauga.

The bike clinic at the Warkworth arena is one way they hope to raise sponsorship for the ride.

A minimum of $500 is needed for each cy-clist to participate in the Healing Cycle Ride.

The $500 and any money raised by TBH team will be given directly back to TBH.

Pollack said he participated in the Healing

Cycling Ride last year with Kelly Isfan, for-mer CEO of the Campbellford hospital.

Together they raised about $1,800 for TBH.“There were about 400 riders of all ages

and all descriptions last year and all have personal experience either with a loved one dying or with palliative care or it’s an impor-tant aspect of their lives,” said Pollack.

“We are hoping to recruit some additional riders for our healing team this year,” he added.

Pollack cycles 200 kilometres each week to stay fit.

The bike clinic gives the team a chance to raise money for the ride. The safety sessions and lessons will be free and will be taught by a Can-Bike instructor.

Bike inspections and mini tune-ups are be-ing offered for a fee of $15 for adult bikes and $10 for children’s bikes.

As well a barbeque will be held so folks can buy a hot dog and a cold drink for $5.

Calvin Newman, an avid cyclist, has joined the TBH Riding Team and said he is looking forward to the event in June.

Bob Rowe, a director for The Bridge Hospice, and co-chair of the Stewardship & Communications Committee oversees the fund-raising events for TBH.

He told Trent Hills Regional News that TBH will be opening its first bed on June 1.

The hospice is debt and mortgage-free and is now focusing on raising funds for its op-erational expenses as there is no government funding for the residential hospice.

Fund-raising events such as the 3rd an-nual Bridge Hospice Walk-a-thon happening on May 4 and the upcoming bike clinic and barbeque on Saturday, May 11, are just some of the ways supporters hope to raise money for ongoing operation of TBH.

The bike clinic takes place, rain for shine, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the barbeque is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“You Can Rely On Our Service”

ENTERTAINMENT

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Trenton - Phil Cook is ready to play.

The 21-year-old music lover usually uses a bulky electric wheelchair and, until recently, was unable to reach his new drum kit. And while he found a perfect replacement in a smaller, more utilitarian model, there was no way to cover the $5,500 expense. That’s when his musical friends from Wrought Iron Roots stepped in.

The band, which includes Trenton musicians Travis and Brandon Wha-ley, Richard Ellis and Bruce Forsythe along with Stirling’s Lynzi Couch, say it’s all about making music accessible. “We just wanted to help,” says Couch.

The band organized a fund-raising jamboree, held in Frankford on April 14, with the hopes of getting Cook clos-er to his goal after his own fund raiser netted less than $100. Included in the concert were Steve and Spike Piticco, Debbie McLean, Julie Simpson, Robin Edgar and Stompin Jon with John and Rita Harpell, who provided music as well as the sound, rounding out the show.

And in the end it was more than the performers could have hoped for and well beyond what Cook could have ex-pected.

“The benefi t was sold out long be-fore the show,” says Couch, and ticket sales went a signifi cant way toward the total before the music even started.

“We raised $2,300,” she says, “and we got hold of Medigas who pitched in the rest of the money to give Phil his

By Bill FreemanEMC Entertainment - Havelock - Living legend Charlie Daniels and his band and Kix Brooks, one half of mega-selling Brooks & Dunn, are on their way to the Havelock Country Jamboree. With only Sunday after-noon’s closing act to be filled, the lineup is now complete for the 24th edition of Cana-da’s largest on-site camping country music jamboree.

The four-day party kicks off August 15 with award-winning Canadian artist Tara Oram opening things up on a Thursday bill that includes Smalltown Pistols, the fa-mously dynamic brother and sister duo of Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson and Brooks, flying solo after a 20-year career with Ron-nie Dunn that sold over 30 million records and won more Country Music Association Awards and Academy of Country Music Awards than any act in history.

The Charlie Daniels Band headlines the Thursday night show launching the Jambo-ree off with a classic southern boogie style that will drive all over the musical land-scape.

A full-fledged member of The Grand Ole Opry and a Grammy winner for his genre-busting The Devil Went Down To Georgia, Daniels has never lost his passion for per-forming and the six-piece band will fire up the Jamboree grounds.

“I used to say, ‘I’m not an outlaw; I’m an outcast,’” Daniels has said.

“When it gets right down to the nitty grit-ty, I’ve just tried to be who I am. I’ve never followed trends or fads. I couldn’t even if I tried. I can’t be them; I can’t be anybody but me.”

EMC Entertainment - Warkworth - St. Paul’s United Church in Warkworth is becoming fa-mous for its successful fund-raising concerts. A joyful sound will be heard at the Vocalese Spring Concert.

The Vocalese group consists of 38 members from Roseneath, Castleton, Grafton, Colborne, Warkworth and Brighton.

It is under the direction of Mitchell Cox, a brilliant young musician who is a graduate of the University of Regina and has studied and taught in England and Japan. As an Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Toronto, he has been an examiner for that institution for the past ten years.

Rather than competing with other choral

groups who are predominately sacred and clas-sical in nature, Vocalese chooses a wider reper-toire that not only includes the sacred and classi-cal, but also renaissance folk, modern jazz, pop and Broadway.

Special guest performers at this spring con-cert will be Stephen Rapos and his daughter Ol-ivia, of Warkworth.

This fund raiser is being hosted by St. Paul’s United Church in Warkworth on Sunday, May 5, at the church, 60 Main Street. Doors open at 2 p.m. The show starts at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Eclectic Mix in Warkworth or by calling Don Young 705-924-3121 or Ruth Widdowson 705-924-3843.

By Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - The 63rd Annual Stirling Festival of Sacred Praise began last weekend at St. Paul’s United Church and con-tinues until the end of the month with adjudi-cated classes in various categories.

And the festival continues to encourage area residents, and particularly young people, to express themselves musically with piano

classes kicking off the event last Sunday af-ternoon.

Held under the auspices of the Council of St. Paul’s United Church and the Stirling Fes-tival Committee, the annual celebration runs from April 21 to May 1 featuring vocal and instrumental classes at the church and the Stirling Festival Theatre.

The festival offers non-compet-itive classes for family musicians and music makers as well as adults performing at all levels.

Adjudicators this year include Jarred Dunn (piano), Lance Ouel-lette (string instruments, bands, brass and woodwinds), Natalie Pratt (vocal) and the Reverend Rodney Smith (scripture). All competitions, except Open Class, are restricted to amateur musicians unless otherwise stated in the rules.

Most classes will be held at the United Church throughout the two-week festival with bands, wood-winds and brass classes scheduled for Friday, April 26 (tomorrow) at the Stirling Festival Theatre.

All vocal classes, including choirs, groups and solos, are set for April 28, 29 and 30 with the festival wrapping up with scripture classes on May 1. The festival will again feature a followup “Stars of the Fes-tival” concert on Friday, May 10, that will highlight some of the top performers and award winners from this year’s competition.

All classes for the 63rd Annual Festival of Sacred Praise, held between April 21 and May 1 are open to the public. Admission to the mid-May Stars of the Festival concert is $3 for adults and 50 cents for children.

Shedding light on child abuse

EMC News - Alnwick-Haldimand - A report of a possible hunting accident where a fi rearm was discharged causing injury to a male in Alnwick-Haldimand Township was received by the Nor-thumberland OPP Saturday, April 20, at approxi-mately 4:21 p.m.

OPP and Northumberland Emergency Medical Services (EMS) attended to a possible hunting ac-cident on Rolph Road when they received infor-mation that the male resident from Thornhill was

injured as a result of an exploding gun barrel. A group of people had attended to the location

for a sanctioned hunting retreat and were conduct-ing bird hunting exercises.

The victim discharged a 1905 LC Smith Carl Grant edition, 12 gauge double barrel shot gun when the barrel exploded for unknown reasons, causing the combustion to break out from the bar-rel into the victim’s hand.

All parties present were trained and certifi ed in

the use of fi rearms and holders of valid hunting licences.

The fi rearm used has been serviced on a regular basis to ensure it is in safe working order.

EMS transported the male victim to a local hospital where he was admitted for non-life-threatening injuries.

No one else was injured as a result of the exploding fi rearm.

Local country musician Darcy Hammerton and � lmmaker Michael Brethour have produced a music video for charity entitled “Don’t Walk Away.” Photo: Submitted

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - A new collaboration be-tween local country artist Darcy Hammerton and fi lm-maker Michael Brethour is hoping to raise awareness of child abuse, and with over 1,500 hits on Youtube the duo is pleased with the reception so far.

“A lot of people ignore the fact that there are abused

children out there. They don’t see it because it’s not brought right out to their attention,” Hammerton said. “To me it’s a very passionate song that will hopefully open those eyes.”

On April 15, Hammerton’s song Don’t Walk Away was released alongside a music video shot and pro-duced by Brethour. The music video was produced on

Brethour said the pair are also hoping to release a single CD in the future, and are looking for sponsors to help get the project off the ground.

“I’m proud to have my name attached to it,” Brethour said, referring to the video. “Sitting back and looking at it I think it’s pretty amazing for a zero dollar budget.”

a zero dollar budget, and Brethour said the hope is to raise awareness for a very real issue across Canada.

“I think what [Hammerton] did with the song … he did a really remarkable job. I was willing to get on board entirely,” Brethour said.

After Hammerton’s song Her Fishing Dream gained some exposure, he was ap-proached by the Carl Perkins Centre for Prevention of Child Abuse to write a song for Child Abuse Prevention Month, which takes place in April in the U.S. A mutual friend then contacted Brethour about help-ing produce a music video, and the col-laboration was born. Roughly two and half weeks of work went into the video, and on April 15 the song was released, highlighted by being played on CJBQ that morning.

“A lot of my passion in my writing comes from past life issues, and things that you were going through,” Hammerton said. “When you actually have to deal with these things in your own life that’s when you can see everything around you more clearly, as opposed to being hidden, the things you don’t normally see every day.”

A portion of the proceeds from the You-tube views will also be donated to charity.
