By Steve JesselEMC Events - Belleville - Area police will once again be strapping on their bicycle helmets this year, as the second annual Pedal for Hope Cycling Tour aims to raise funds and awareness for cancer treat-ment.
“The number of kids that are developing or being diagnosed with cancer is alarming,” said Kim Guth-rie, of the OPP Prince Edward. “I think this helps them know they’re not alone, and that people out there care, and we believe they’ll get better.”
Guthrie and 13 other Belleville Police Service and OPP officers will be hitting the streets on their bikes beginning Monday, April 29, and will visit 26 schools in Madoc, Marmora, Frankford, Trenton, Prince Edward County, Belleville and Tyendinaga.
Pedalling to make a difference

Great startBy Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - The “Kin You Dig It” Kins-men Community Park fund-raising campaign is off to a roaring start thanks to an anonymous $50,000 donation that was presented on Thursday, April 11. The campaign is being spearheaded by local businessman Eric Linden-berg and aims to raise a total of $75,000 in order to pur-chase new playground equipment for the park.
“This area is a very important area for the east end of town,” Lindenberg said. “There’s not a lot of good

All the schools raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society, and upon arriving the Pedal for Hope offi-cers accept their donations and give a presentation on raising awareness for cancer.
“Police officers across the province are involved in many community events, and Belleville is no dif-ferent,” Belleville Police Chief Cory McMullan said. “It’s an opportunity for the community to see that po-lice officers truly are members of the community and face the same issues all of us face, and are out there to make the community a better place for everyone.”
Guthrie also took part in the inaugural event last year, and said it was truly a special experience.
“The ride was actually life-changing last year; it was incredible,” she said. “The connection, the emo-

4 Belleville EMC - Thursday, April 18, 2013
By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - Members of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Founda-tion gathered at Boston Pizza in Bel-leville Monday night, hoping to raise some funds and drum up some support for their upcoming 2013 Telus Walk to Cure Diabetes, taking place this year on Saturday, May 25, at Zwicks Island.
“The goal is certainly a cure for type one diabetes,” said 2013 walk chair Melanie Siegner.
Now entering its sixth year, Bel-
leville participants will join more than 45,000 people across Canada and in several other countries joining together to help raise funds for research to cure, better treat and prevent type 1 diabetes. Overall, the Telus Walk to Cure Diabe-tes aims to raise a total of $8 million from the event, and in Belleville the bar has been set at $40,000 this year. With over 300 participants and about $37,500 raised last year in Belleville, Siegner said she’s hoping to see at least similar numbers this time around.
“We welcome anyone who wants to join our community,” she said.
For Siegner, the walk has a personal connection as well. For the past seven years, Siegner has helped care for her own daughter’s condition; she was di-agnosed with type 1 diabetes at age six. Siegner said seeing so many people come out for the walk each year is truly an uplifting experience.
“It’s great, it’s empowering,” she said. “Some days are pretty frustrating, so it really gives hope that there will be
a cure, that there will be advancement, that treatment can only get better.”
Upwards of 85 children suffer from type 1 diabetes in the Quinte region, and Grade 6 St. Peters Catholic student Victoria Lippitt is one of them. Lippitt is forced to take four or five needles a day to help treat her type 1 diabetes, and said sometimes it can be tough to see her friends leading normal lives.
“It’s hard to count my carbohydrates in my food, and going to parties and see-ing my other friends eating and drinking
pop and stuff,” she said.The walk is far from the only activity
taking place during the event. Clowns, facepainting, bouncy castles and more will also be on hand to ensure every member of the family is entertained throughout the day. The either five- or ten-kilometre route itself takes place alongside the scenic Bay of Quinte.
Registration is now ongoing, and anyone interested in joining the walk and raising pledges is asked to visit the walk web site at <www.jdrf.ca>.

The City of Belleville has also agreed to match the $75,000 fund-raising goal should the campaign be successful, and is also planning on building a splash pad at the park.
“It’s going to be once again a place where children and families of the whole community, not just the east end can come and enjoy,” Lindenberg said. “Even today is freezing, I can see this place full of smiling kids having a great time.”
Anyone interested in contributing to the fund-raising campaign is asked to contact Lindenberg by emailing <[email protected]> or by phoning 613-962-1333.

Also joining the ride as a special guest this year is Evelyn Wilson, from Carrying Place. Pedal for Hope has a very special meaning for Wilson, as she lost both her twin brother and her 15-year-old daughter to cancer.
While she won’t be biking herself, Wilson said the campaign means the world to cancer families and their children.
“To have all these sponsors, and especially
all these police officers give up their time … I know many of them are giving up vacation time to do this; that’s just a really incredible thing for them to do,” she said.
Officers taking part participate on their own time, and the team will pedal for ten days and approximately 400 kilometres this year. The tour is hoping to raise $50,000.

Contracts worth $300 million awarded to upgrade Hercs and radar
By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - A contract for $225 million over fi ve years has been awarded to Cascade Aerospace from Ab-botsford, B.C., to maintain the Hercules CC-130H fl eet at 8 Wing Trenton.
A contract for $75.5 million was awarded to Cassidian from Munich, Germany, for new surveillance radar systems at six RCAF air strips including two at 8 Wing Trenton.
“This will ensure viability of the fl eet,” said Chris Alexan-der, parliamentary secretary to the Minister of National De-fence at the ATESS radar facility at the base on Thursday.
He said the country continues to rely on air squadrons as their “eyes in the sky” with aircraft going to some of the most dangerous places in the world.
“This is a big part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan,” Alexander said.
Colonel Sean Friday said the base is involved in missions around the world, including the far north where the H-model Hercules are working in scientifi c exploration. The heritage aircraft are involved in Search and Rescue missions day in

and day out, as well as being used for jet refuelling. “Our crews are ready to go at any moment,” he said.
The base has 17 of the new Hercu-les-J models and several of the remain-ing 32 Hercules-H models in the fl eet. The older ones have been retired but the 1980s and 1990s models are still effec-tive. “We have to maintain the avionics and stay up-to-date,” Friday said.
Cascade Aerospace representative Dwayne Lucas said they are very hon-oured to serve DND.
The radar replacement project will include installation over the next three to four years of seven new surveillance radar and secondary systems at 3 Wing Bagotville, Quebec, 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, 5 Wing Goose Bay, Newfound-land and Labrador, 8 Wing Trenton (one system at an operational site and a sec-ond system as technical training for the Aerospace and Telecommunications En-gineering Support Squadron), 14 Wing Greenwood, Nova Scotia and 19 Wing Comox, British Columbia.
Alexander noted that the radar con-tract was awarded to a company in Ger-many which is very specialized. “Not many fi t the bill,” he explained. He said many Canadian companies are con-tracted all around the world in an open economy and a fair procurement pro-cess. Cassidian is the defence and secu-rity division of the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company.
MPP Rick Norlock said Canada’s aerospace industry is the fi fth largest in the world. “We want to keep it and grow it,” he said.
He noted the new radar system will

replace parts that are 30 years old. “Radar is the eyes of the people who fl y,” he said. “We want to make sure it is kept up.”
He added this is part of the continued invest-ment by the Canadian government in the military.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
By Terry Bush
EMC Editorial - “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion,” wrote Cyril Northcote Parkinson in 1955, and instantly cre-ated a whole new domain in the study of human affairs. “Parkinson’s Law” was one of the most profound insights of the past century, but he didn’t go far enough. There is a media corollary that doesn’t get nearly enough attention.
It is this: “International confrontations ex-pand to fill the media space available.” There is a lot of media space available nowadays, and a striking shortage of truly terrifying interna-tional threats, so the few modest ones that do exist are magnified to fill the scary news quota.
That’s why you hear so much about the North Korean nuclear threat, the Iranian nuclear threat, and the international terrorist threat. Unless you live in South Korea, or Israel, or lower Manhattan, none of these “threats” will ever disturb the even tenor of your life—and even if you do live in one of those places, it is still very unlikely.
The very unlikely did happen in lower Manhattan once, 12 years ago, but it is very, very unlikely to happen there again. Nevertheless, 9/11 is used to justify an ongoing “war on terror” that has provided long-term employment for several million people and justified well over a trillion dollars in “defence” spending over the past decade.
Which brings us to another law, the Shirky Principle: “Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.” In other words, armed forces, intelligence services and those parts of the foreign policy establishment that have prospered from “fighting ter-ror” will instinctively preserve that threat. They hunt down and kill individual terrorists, of course, but they also keep coming up with new terrorist threats.
Moreover, fighting terrorists does not justify aircraft carriers, ar-moured divisions, and planes like the F-35. Those branches of the armed forces need the threat of wars in which weapons like those might be at least marginally relevant.
Credible threats of high-intensity warfare are scarce these days, so you have to be creative. There is, for example, a remote possibility that
the inexperienced young man who now leads North Korea might be paranoid enough, and the generals who supervise him stupid enough, to attack South Korean forces somewhere. That might lead to a major war in the peninsula.
The probability that this would lead to the use of nuclear weapons in the Korean peninsula is vanishingly small. The likelihood that it could lead to the use of nuclear weapons elsewhere is zero. Yet this confrontation is getting as much coverage in the Western mass media as the Berlin crisis did in 1961—and the Asian media generally follow suit.
The same is true for the alleged Iranian nuclear threat. Iran is prob-ably not planning to build nuclear weapons, and there is no chance that it would launch a nuclear attack on Israel even if it did build a few. Israel has hundreds of the things, and its response would destroy Iran. Yet the Israelis insist that it might happen anyway because Iranians are crazy—and both Western and Arab media swallow this nonsense.
Fifty years ago, during the Berlin crisis, a single misstep could have led to ten thousand nuclear weapons falling on the world’s cities. Bad things can still happen when politicians miscalculate, but the scale of the potential damage is minuscule by comparison. Yet our credulous media give these mini-crises the same coverage that they gave to the apocalyptic crises of the Cold War.
Hence Dyer’s Corollary to Parkinson’s Law: International confron-tations expand to fill the media space available. Little ones will be in-flated to fill the hole left by the disappearance of big ones. The 24-hour news cycle will be fed, and military budgets will stay big. You just have to keep the general public permanently frightened.
That’s easy to do, because people in most countries know very little about the world beyond their immediate neighbours. They’ll believe almost anything the media tell them—and most of the media go along with the official sources because scare stories sell a lot better than headlines about the remarkably peaceful state of the world.
Humbert Wolfe’s judgement almost a century ago still applies ev-erywhere: You cannot hope to bribe or twist (thank God!) the British journalist
But given what the man will do unbribed, there’s no occasion to.
EMC Editorial - Seriously??? Justin Trudeau had barely been crowned Liberal leader when the Tory illuminati found it necessary to unleash at-tack ads, rolling out their first, in what will probably be a two and a half-year series of American-inspired nonsense.
Once again, the Conservative Party has dispelled the myth that Cana-dian politicians are a little bit classier than their American counterparts. Stephen Harper and crew must be really worried about this Justin fel-low to try to sully his image even before he’d taken his seat as Liberal leader. Why else would they even bother with such tripe without an elec-tion anywhere on the horizon. With only 34 seats and third party status, does anyone really think the Trudeau Liberals will sweep the nation next time round? After all, the return to power was a long time coming for the Tories, post Mulroney.
Do we, as Canadians, really need to stoop this low? Is it time for op-position parties to lower themselves and fight fire with fire?
In the Conservatives’ latest offering, Justin Trudeau removes his shirt to the sounds of carnival music as the propaganda rolls. Seriously, does removing one’s shirt to show an undershirt make a politician a target for character assassination? Considering the video was shot at a fund raiser to battle liver cancer, and Trudeau raised $2,000 for the cause, who are the real asses here. The Huffington Post might say the Tories fit the bill considering they used the video without permission.
One would have to wonder if our local Conservative MPs are on board with this negative way of doing business.
I for one, don’t want to be subjected to years of this rubbish every time I turn on the television set. And I don’t care who is behind it, Conser-vatives, Liberals, members of the NDP, it doesn’t matter, playing gutter politics serves no one well.
If the Tories or NDP are worried about Justin Trudeau, then squash him like a bug in the House of Commons. We’ll all see the replay on the news and laugh, same as we would if Stephen Harper or Thomas Mulcair found themselves under the bus. Political junkies don’t want any of that namby-pamby stuff. Politics is a blood sport many of us enjoy. If you act like an idiot, you deserve to be body slammed. But most sports have rules and some of these negative attack ads are definitely out of bounds. What kind of example are they setting for the youth of today who will see them ad nauseam? Are these ads really any different from the cyber-bullying that is front and centre in our society?
Many are just outright lies. Most take quotes out of context and all show the subject in the most unflattering light, the whole point of the exercise. Easy to do if you’re dealing with some of the recent Liberal candidates like Stephane Dion or the wooden Michael Ignatieff, the Grits American candidate for prime minister. But sometimes, negative ads backfire. Think Kim Campbell and the ads making fun of Jean Chretien’s face.
Maybe the Conservatives are worried this Trudeau guy is a different beast altogether. They say he has no experience but then again, neither did Stephen Harper and he’s done all right for himself. Most of the old guard of the Liberal Party is history, either retired at home or retired living the life of Riley as a senator. It’s almost like Trudeau and crew are starting fresh. Maybe that’s what’s got the Conservatives all flustered. Despite being saddled with his father’s last name, Trudeau the Younger certainly isn’t lacking in charisma, something sorely lacking in some of the other party leaders. He won’t win many votes in Alberta. Chances are he won’t do too well in Quebec. But the rest of the country, who knows. Maybe Canadians will think it’s time for a different sort of prime minister when the next election rolls around. Either that or they’ll figure the Liberals have just plain run out of electable candidates and are as committed to recycling names as their provincial counterparts are to renewable energy.
Either Justin Trudeau establishes himself as a serious candidate in the next couple of years or he crashes and burns like the Liberal leaders be-fore him. The Tories better watch it though. If the Canadian public is subjected to years of negativity before they head to the polls, they may just vote for anyone but the Tories.
Please … give us a break
Dear Editor,When you think of the consequences, you have to seriously pon-
der whether the provincial government’s Green Energy Act was really an intended conspiracy that had more to do with the redistribution of wealth than an environmental initiative.
The question surfaces because of the upsurge in the number of mu-nicipalities currently coming out in protest of the attempted installations of wind turbines. A citizens group is currently fighting to prevent a pair of ten-megawatt turbines from being located near Grafton and Cen-treton. Meanwhile, Ontario’s Conservative caucus is trying to get the Ensuring Affordable Energy Act approved because of major concerns being voiced by taxpayers.
Although I doubt the Liberals and NDP will go along with anti-green measures, the energy initiative makes a lot of sense. It would give municipalities the final say on whether wind turbines will be permitted in their specific areas. In addition, turbines would have to be considered affordable, meaning the cost per kilowatt hour must compare with other sources of generation.
The Act also eliminates the costly feed-in tariff (FIT) and munici-palities would have the ability to decide whether or not they want to promote wind energy. The Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine would be protected from turbines and municipalities would regain their planning powers so they can decide on environmental mat-ters instead of the province.
Green energy has been a complete misconception from the outset. You have to wonder whether it was spurred on by government duplic-ity. The Liberals knew they didn’t have the resources to bring it to real-ity so they simply forced the taxpayers to pay double and triple for elec-trical costs to fund what has been an economic catastrophe. Of course,
the greens and environmentalists turn a blind eye to the scam despite the fact that the government was all about grabbing billions to offer the needed green subsidies.
Have our brilliant government officials considered the consequences of these 500-foot turbines all over the countryside. Not really. For in-stance, in Denmark, the foundations of some 1,000 Danish offshore wind turbines are crumbling. Denmark now faces lawsuits over the li-ability and the yet unknown bills for repairs. Like Ontario, the Danes already have the most expensive electricity costs in Europe solely be-cause of the huge number of wind farms that clutter the countryside and the enormous green subsidies they attract. You, as an electrical user, are paying for those subsidies.
If you think that I’m just one little voice crying in the wilderness, consider that the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association (ROMA) and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture have also condemned the installation of turbines. A total of 79 municipalities have called for a moratorium on wind turbines. The Ontario Auditor General has also pointed out that turbines are not replacing coal-fired plants nor cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It means consumers pay twice for wind en-ergy while adding skyrocketing electricity costs that are a major threat to jobs.
We think former Premier Dalton McGuinty and other members of his caucus should be forced to appear before an independent investiga-tive inquiry board to answer why green energy was introduced at a time when taxpayers could least afford it. Seems to me it had more to do with left wing environmental bias than common sense.

By Jack EvansEMC Entertainment - Belleville - The annual show by the Quinte Chap-ter, Barbershop Harmony Society, will feature songs through the years as the chorus celebrates the 75th an-niversary of the international society.
From a meeting of a few men in 1938, the organization, originally founded as the Society for the Pres-ervation and Encouragement of Bar-ber Shop Quartet Singing in America, quickly spread throughout the United States, into Canada and then to Eng-land, continental Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
With its official theme song, “Keep the Whole World Singing,” the soci-ety has been doing just that for 75 years. The four-part harmony move-ment, which features unaccompanied singing (a cappella) has also spread to women’s choruses and quartets.
To assist A Cappella Quinte, the new name for the local barbershop chorus, to celebrate this event on Sat-urday, May 4, musical guests will be Belleville’s famous Commodores Or-chestra, whose own roots span almost the same 75 years as the barbershop society.
Commodores help barbershoppers mark anniversary
EMC News - Schools across the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board participated in a special Pink Shirt Day to rally against bullying, homophobia, racism and all forms of hate, and to promote inclusive schools. Centennial Secondary School (pictured) was just one of many schools wearing the over 3,400 shirts that were sold this year. Photo: Steve Jessel
Pink ... the new hope?
The program will span songs and ballads from the late 1800s, when barbershop quartets first became popular, through to contemporary times with songs like Yesterday, by the Beatles.
The local chapter, started almost 40 years ago under the name, The Trentones, changed its performance name to A Cappella Quinte two years ago. It now embraces close to 40 singers from across the Quinte area from Brighton to Deseronto and Roslin through Prince Edward County. Robert Young has been director for many years.
Within the ranks of the chorus, two quartets are scheduled to make their own contributions
to the show, including the long-established Bel-leville area quartet, In-Four-Mation.
While the barbershop chorus has partnered with many musical groups in the area over the years, this is the first time they have had the dis-tinguished Commodores Orchestra as guests.
In keeping with the chorus’ tradition of shar-ing proceeds from its annual show with a local charity, a portion of the May 4 show will be shared with the local Grannies for Africa group.
Show time is 7:31 p.m. in Belleville’s Ma-ranatha Church auditorium. Tickets, at $20 for adults, $5 for students, are available from members, or at the door.

Iqaluit provides warm welcome for refsBy Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - After return-ing from the Great White North, and the northernmost point he’s ever visited, Zachary Brandt has hung up his skates for another hockey season, but he ad-mits 2012-2013 will be a particularly memorable one.
After eight years wearing the black and white stripes, it marks his first year as an on-ice official at the Junior level and culminated with a once-in-a-life-time opportunity.
Brandt, who lives in Stirling but cur-rently attends Carleton University, was one of four Ottawa-area referees se-lected by Hockey Canada to officiate a Midget tournament in Iqaluit, Nunavut’s capital located on Baffin Island’s Fro-bisher Bay, and a community of about 6,000 people.
Last weekend Brandt officiated his last four games of the season in Ot-tawa. The weekend before, in Iqaluit, there were 23 games of high level minor
hockey on the schedule and not a tree in sight.
“We were flying up there and it was just snow and ice. Nothing but snow and ice and rocks,” Brandt says of much of the 2,100-kilometre flight north from Ottawa. And from the time they arrived on the ground, he says, they were treated as special guests to the community.
The population, Brandt says, is about half Inuit and half Caucasian, sharing an extremely remote but modernized community where the aboriginal cul-ture and practices are both prominent and separate but with plenty of common ground. Featuring a pair of arenas, the community’s core is not unlike that of a comparably sized Canadian town far to the south, he says, despite the distance
to any other settlement.On the outskirts, more snow and ice
and rocks and “it’s windy all the time,” says Brandt. But the welcome the vis-iting officials received from the fans was like nothing he’d experienced in a hockey rink. “They were so respect-ful of the referees,” he says of both the players and the spectators who attended throughout the weekend. “Here, you al-ways get people yelling at the refs,” he
says of contentious calls. “But there it didn’t matter what you called, they were just so grateful to have us there.”
The visiting officials also provided instruction and guidance for resident volunteers who otherwise have little ac-cess to clinics or workshops to improve their skills or nationally sanctioned tour-naments with highly experienced refs and linesmen to offer a few tips. And as the tournament wound down, the final
game was refereed by a local Inuit of-ficial “and he was pretty excited about that,” Brandt says.
With the hopes of pursuing a career on the ice, Brandt is completing his third year at Carleton with the intention of returning in the fall to complete his commerce degree next spring. But be-fore summer ends, he’ll be back on his skates in preparation for another hockey season as well.
“Here, you always get people yelling at the refs.”
EMC Events - The Foxboro Chapel of the Good Shepherd members have another reason to ring the bell in the tower.
It is the opportunity to bring people together through a monthly old-time Gospel Sing.
Every third Saturday of each month Pastor Pat Wood and leaders host a night of music that attracts musical enthusi-asts from afar. Starting at 6:30 p.m. two hours of singing gives a special ring in people’s hearts.
In addition, refreshments and fel-lowship are also integral parts of each event.
Musicians share from their heart through music, the joy they have found.
It can be noted that most participants have graduated from the school of hard knocks but have been strengthened to leave a favourable legacy for the young in the faith.
Joy seekers compare it with a support group where folks can connect and re-late to one another on common ground.
EMC Entertainment - Belleville - Quinte Symphony is calling a spe-cial general meeting for this Sunday, April 14, at 6:30 p.m. in Bridge Street Church Sills Auditorium.
The meeting is expected to be a short one to consider a motion con-cerning audit costs and a brief pre-view for a new 2013-2014 season.
The evening is also the first re-hearsal for the orchestra’s next con-cert set for May 26, so orchestra members, who are automatically members, will already be on hand.
Others who are considered mem-bers under the symphony’s bylaws include donors, subscribers and ad-vertisers.

Belleville EMC - Thursday, April 18, 2013 11
By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - Spring is here, and that means it’s time to roll up the shirt sleeves and do some com-munity spring cleaning with the annual Quinte Trash Bash event taking place Saturday, April 20.
“Our main goal is really to get people out picking up litter in whichever ways they are capable of doing,” said Melani Morrish, Green Program Co-ordinator for the City of Belleville. “We wanted Quinte Trash Bash to become a house-hold name, and that was because we wanted people to start talking about trash.”
Now entering its 12th year, Quinte Trash Bash asks interested members of the communities of Belleville, Quinte West and Tyendinaga to take a little bit of time out of their day on April 20 to help make their community a cleaner place to live. Volunteers are free to spend as much or as little time as they want picking up garbage, and Morrish said part of their goal is to get people to
start thinking about the waste they see in their everyday lives.
“The main key for us is to get people out there, even if they can only pick for fi ve or ten minutes and cram it into their busy day, to get people into the habit of picking up litter as they walk by it,” Morrish said.
Despite some rainy weather last year, more than 600 volunteers came out between the three communities, and together managed to collect more than fi ve large dumpsters worth of roadside garbage. The event has had as many as 1,200 people participate in the past, and Morrish said they’re always aiming for at least 1,000 volunteers.
“When you look at the population between Belleville, Quinte West, and Tyendinaga, 1,000 is not unreasonable at all,” she said.
The event takes place between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., during which time volun-teers are asked to fi rst register before be-ing given a cleanup kit, including gloves and garbage bags. In Quinte West, the
Mother’s Day Bazaar to support Little Angels Fund
EMC Lifestyles - The sun is coming out, the birds are singing and the world is warming up. Spring is here! What a perfect time to join in with the activities that are happening at the library. In the children’s department we have many exciting events in store during the next few weeks.
Our popular Babytime program for little ones ages 0 to 18 months has re-sumed and will run every Tuesday at 10 a.m. until May 28. During each pro-gram we have 30 minutes of rhymes, fi nger play, stories and songs designed to stimulate the littlest visitors to the library and to help develop vocabulary and motor skills.
Weekly Storytime for children ages two to fi ve years is also happening every Wednesday at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. and again on Thursday at 10 a.m. until May 25. We will be reading lots of stories to celebrate the spring season, so come and
enjoy them together with us.We have several special programs for
children ages two and up on Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. We will have an Earth Day celebration on April 20 where we will be reading stories and singing songs about keeping our earth clean and beautiful. We will also be planting our own seeds. On April 27 we have a Therapy Dog coming to visit and you are invited to meet him. We will have a fun story time that is all about dogs on that day too.
For teens we will have a Duct Tape Art event on Saturday, April 20, at 2 p.m. Come out and create your own cool bag using duct tape and candy wrappers! In our Junior Club for ages seven to 12 we have another Duct Tape Art event on Sat-urday, May 11, at 2 p.m. This program will be just in time for Mother’s Day so you can make this craft as a gift for your mom or keep it for yourself. Please call or visit the library to register for these
EMC Events - Belleville - Those looking for a great Mother’s Day gift can come out to the Belleville Lions Club on Sunday, April 28, and support a good cause at the same time.
A Mother’s Day Shopping Bazaar will take place, featuring dozens of home-based businesses selling products especially designed for moms. A silent raffl e will take place with all proceeds supporting the Belleville General Hos-pital Foundation’s Little Angels Fund.
The Little Angels Fund raises money for new equipment for the pediatrics
and maternity department at BGH; a place that has special meaning to any mother who has ever given birth at BGH.
The bazaar runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lions Club at 119 Station Street. All are welcome to attend, espe-cially dads and children who are look-ing for the perfect gift for the special women in their lives.
The vendors will include those from popular cosmetic businesses, such as Arbonne, gourmet food businesses, such as Epicure, and much more.
Spring into programs at the Belleville Public Libraryprograms so that we know how many supplies are needed.
The Silver Birch Forest of Reading Program for children in Grades 3-6 will fi nish on Saturday, April 27. If you have been reading the nominated books, make sure you come in before that date to add your name to our tree and put your ballot in the draw for a chance to win a $10 Chapters gift card. Also, remember that April 22 until 27 is the time to choose the win-ning books. Make sure you vote for your favourite Silver Birch book either online through <www.bellevillelibrary.ca> or in person by paper ballot at the library during that week.
For more information about our upcoming programs vis-it <www.bellevillelibrary.ca> or give us a call at 613-968-6731 #2235.
Help clean your communityregistration and drop off point is the Public Works Yard lo-cated at 30 Pelham Street, and in Tyendinaga the location is 859 Melrose Road, Shannonville. Both Quinte West and Ty-endinaga will hold free barbeques at the registration locations at 11 a.m.
Belleville volunteers can pick up gloves and bags at a number of locations across the city, including Quinte Sec-ondary School, the corner of Bridge and Sidney Street, East Hill Park, or Cascade Park, or can phone Morrish at 613-967-3200 extension 3219 for registration locations, where special trash tags will also be given out. Trash Bash tagged materials will be picked up at curbside for Bel-leville residents, or can be dropped off at one of two drop-off locations.
Volunteers can also collect trash wherever they like, al-though Morrish said they have a few particularly bad spots picked out in case volunteers aren’t sure where to go.
“We have some people who have an area that they’re really passionate about and they want to clean up, and for a lot of people it’s in their own neighbourhood,” Morrish said.
The event is also always looking for more local businesses to take part in the business challenge, and anyone who is in-terested is asked to contact Erica Booth, 613-394-3317 x.402 or by email at <[email protected]>.

12 Belleville EMC - Thursday, April 18, 2013
EMC News - Trenton - After months of fund raising to build a boat house for the newly formed Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club they are ready to move forward with the project. The design of the new boat house was completed by Lassing Dibben Consultant Engineering and the contract for the construction of the building has been awarded to Ducon Contractors; both businesses are located here in Quinte West.
“It is wonderful to work with local businesses,” says Suzanne Andrews, manager at the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce and treasurer for the Rowing Club. “Lassing Dibben has been involved with this project from the very start and has been instrumental in designing a building that will meet the needs of the Rowing Club and be esthetically pleas-ing as it will be located in Kiwanis Park, along the east bank of the Trent River. Ducon Contractors are well known in the Quinte Region for their quality construc-tion and are ready to start the project as soon as the ground is ready.”
The building permit has been issued by the City of Quinte West and work will be starting on April 22.
“The city have been great to work with,” says Jacques Pilon, vice-president of the Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club and responsible for overseeing the construction of the boat house.
“The mayor and city staff have worked with us from the very beginning including the leasing of the land, the de-velopment of the site plan and approval of necessary permits. Their support has really helped to move this project for-ward so we could be ready to go this spring.” The boat house is expected to be completed by June 1, just in time for

The goal is to raise $100,000 to build the boat house and an additional $10,000
will be needed for the purchase and in-stallation of docks.
“We have $90,000 raised so far,” says club president Jeff Lay, “and we have a couple more donations that we are work-ing on and hope to make some funding announcements by the end of April. The support for establishing a rowing and
paddling club in Trenton has been really well received and we are getting very close to reaching our goal but still need a bit more help. ” Donations to the Capi-tal campaign for the Trenton Rowing and Paddling Club can be made through the Quinte West Chamber of Commerce by calling 613-392-7635.

Belleville EMC - Thursday, April 18, 2013 13
EMC Entertainment - Belleville - Tal-ented singers and musicians from across the Quinte area will be among special guests of the Belleville Choral Society for its spring concert, set for Sunday, April 28, at 3 p.m. in St. Michael’s Church, Bel-leville.
The concert, called “Baroque and Folk,” will feature selections from J.S. Bach’s timeless Magnificat oratorio to contemporary Canadian folk hit, Song For the Mira, and a setting of Oscar Peterson’s soul song, Hymn to Freedom. Another ba-roque classic on the program is the haunt-ing Adoramus Te by Palestrina.
Under the direction of Mirijam Spoelstra, the 40-voice choir literally awed a large audience at its annual Christmas concert in December. Spoelstra is aiming to build on that quality of performance and repertoire.
Guest performers will include Holly Gwynne-Timothy, soprano, Kim Dafoe, mezzo-soprano, Gordon Gwynne-Tim-othy, tenor, Joel Bootsma, viola and The County Baroque Ensemble.
The audience will also be introduced to a young new local singing talent in the person of Billy Sue Johnston of Madoc, a Grade 12 student planning on vocal per-formance post-secondary education at Ot-tawa this fall. She is this year’s winner of the choral society’s scholarship, valued at $1,000.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for stu-dents (6-18) and are now available from members, at the Quinte Arts Council office, St. Michael’s Parish office and at the door.
While the April 28 concert effectively winds up the choir’s performance sea-son, auditions will be held for the choir’s startup next fall on May 17 and 18 in St. Thomas Anglican Church.
The choir is also looking for a compe-tent accompanist.
Spoelstra said she is especially looking for sopranos and tenors. Anyone interest-ed in auditioning or getting more informa-tion should contact her at <[email protected]>.

By Ray YurkowskiEMC News - Brighton - The 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps 100 celebrated the National Day of Re-membrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge last week with a parade at the cenotaph in Memorial Park.
It was at Vimy Ridge, on April 9, 1917, that Canadians fought together in a battle for the fi rst time and is considered by many to be a turning point in Canadian history as well as the beginning of the march toward nationhood. In 2003, the fed-eral government declared the day as “Vimy Ridge
Day,” to honour and remember the World War I battle where Canadians suffered approximately 11,000 casualties, nearly 3,600 of them fatal. In Ottawa, the Canadian fl ag on the Peace Tower is lowered at half-mast to commemorate the day.
The occasion also marked donations from two local Royal Canadian Legion branches to the ca-det corps: $3,100 presented by Brighton Legion president Brian MacKenzie and $858 from Col-borne Legion president Patti May. The support comes from the proceeds of the annual Remem-brance Day Poppy Fund.
By Richard TurtleEMC News - Stirling - Prior to approving the mu-nicipal budget, which will mean an average three per cent increase for local ratepayers, Stirling-Rawdon Mayor Rodney Cooney outlined the highlights dur-ing a public meeting immediately before the regular meeting of council earlier this week.
“We looked at every option,” Cooney says of the budgetary process for 2013 and into the future, thanking department heads for their input. Cooney also noted signifi cant capital projects had to be 100 per cent ratepayer funded this year owing to a lack of grant money. Among them is the reconstruction of Church Street which will include sewer, water and sidewalk work as well as resurfacing.
Trillium and CIIF funding in 2013 will result in signifi cant upgrades to Stirling parks as well as in Spring Brook where funds have already been raised by the Coffi n family. Upgrades and the addition of new equipment is expected to be completed in June, says Deputy-mayor Wilf Shier.
Of the total $9.25-million budget, of which $3.2 million is collected through municipal taxes, Cooney
says the municipality will spend $2.7 million on sala-ries, $3.6 million in operations, $2.7 on capital proj-ects and about $1 million each for county and educa-tion levies.
In most cases, explains Treasurer Roxanne Hearns, increases in municipal taxes will mirror assessments which saw an average three per cent increase. So for a $200,000 home now valued at $206,000 the increase will amount to about $90 per year, she says.
But there may be future savings to be realized if council can trim the more than $150,000 spent an-nually “just to keep the doors open” on municipal buildings, Cooney says. While nothing has been decided, he says council is currently considering several options including the possibility of deem-ing buildings as surplus to be sold off and taxed. Several properties are being assessed, he says, sug-gesting buildings including the municipal offi ces, the public works buildings across the road and the public works garage on East Front Street be among those considered. He also urged residents to contact councillors to voice their concerns or pose any ques-tions. Brighton Cadets commemorate

Mixing Blue with Green for Healthy Child Development
Continued on page 17
By Susan Ramsay, Early Literacy Specialist for Hastings-Frontenac-Lennox & AddingtonEMC Lifestyles - Jackson’s mom hands her son an empty, washed yogurt container. “Put this in the blue box.”
Jackson likes to help and, at two-and-a-half, he is already familiar with his family’s practice of recy-cling. To Jackson recycling is fun. He loves watch-ing the big recycling truck stop in front of house, and listening for the sound of clinking jars and tins as the driver swings out of the truck and tips his blue box into the truck.
Though Jackson does not yet know how the environment is shaping his health and future, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Envi-ronment is working to help families and clinicians become more informed about the interplay between environmental and human health. They highlight that “Children have greater risk of harm compared to adults for many reasons that are unique to each developmental stage.” <www.cape.ca/children> These environ-mentally impassioned physicians explain that children are especially susceptible to chemicals and pollutants because chil-dren’s organs and tissues are growing. Their physiological systems, designed to protect them from sickness, are still im-mature, and children’s need to explore their world through their senses increase the likelihood that harmful substances will seep into their bodies through their skin, nose, and mouth.
As parents, caregivers and educators, it’s some-times diffi cult to know how to care for our children through caring for the earth. The solution may, in part, be twofold: continually seeking knowledge about environmentally friendly practices at home, and intentionally nurturing respect and love for the environment within our children.
The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment is only one source of valuable infor-mation about the environment. Information through their web site can be accessed at <www.cape.ca>. The Canadian Child Care Federation also offers quick information on a variety of topics of interest to parents. Their resource Clean Air for Children draws attention to the prevalence of toxins in children’s lives through our use of cleaners, scented candles, air fresheners, and certain art supplies. <www.cccf-fcsge.ca/parents>

“Why you should have Died in 2012!”or: Do you know the changes to probate in Ontario?
Yvonne Weatherell and Christian Jaehn-Kreibaum, CFP, Financial Advisors with Raymond James Ltd., were hosting three Info Sessions on the upcoming changes to probate in Ontario. Christian, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), with more than 20 years of experience lead the event with an informative presentation on this topic.
“The main goal of these sessions is to bring awareness and to provide practical
ideas and guidelines on how to prepare your estate more effectively and efficiently.”
Our guest speaker, Reader’s Choice award winner and experience lawyer, Richard Wright from Belleville presented some of the legal issues surrounding these upcoming changes. Richard explained that Executors should be made aware of the changes to the Estate Administration Tax Act.

Raymond James Ltd.
These changes bring sweeping new powers to the CRA to audit and assess Probate applications and further powers to reassess the final tax return up to four years after filing. New Provincial Offence provisions will be included, for false or misleading statements in regard to the Application. Executors will be required to keep detailed records that “enable the accurate determination of tax payable.”
Christian was very pleased with the number of guests accepting our invitations. “More than 245 guests attended the three Estate Info Sessions held in Trenton and
Belleville between October and February. At the most recent Info Session, this past February, we had 105 guests attend at the First Pentecostal Church in Belleville. Most guests came despite freezing rain and bad driving conditions. This shows us that this topic is very important to people.”
The next Info Session will be on Tuesday, April 30th at 7:00pm at the Trenton Christian School on 340 2nd Dug Hill Road, located south of Walmart in Trenton.
“We have made some improvements to our next session. We have added an additional guest speaker, Mr. Doug Carroll, JD, LLM(Tax), CFP, TEP and Vice President, Tax & Estate Planning with Invesco.”
The following topics will be addressed at the above event:
1. What are the upcoming changes to probate in Ontario?
2. How you can save on taxes on investment income during your lifetime?
3. How you can reduce fees and taxes on your estate?
4. How to prepare the transfer of your estate more efficiently?
5. How to leave a legacy to your favourite Charity and receive the tax benefits today?
Yvonne Weatherell and Christian Jaehn-Kreibaum run the office of Raymond James Ltd. in Trenton, serving the greater Quinte area, including Brighton, Trenton and Belleville as well as Stirling and the surrounding areas.

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - The an-nual Belleville and District Fish and Game Club HCAC Gun Show attracted more than 300 people this year, including a wide range of hunt-ers, collectors and outdoor enthusi-asts to check out a variety of wares on display.
“A lot of people that you didn’t even actually realize hunt come down,” said club president Mary Woodcock.
Taking place on Sunday, April 14, at the club facility in Belleville, roughly 20 vendors displayed rifles, pistols, shotguns, swords, collectors items, general hunting equipment and more for interested customers. The annual show has been running since 1991, and Woodcock said that part of the goal of the show is to help raise the club’s profile and member-ship, and it seems to be working. The club can now boast over 150 members up from 85 last year, and Woodcock said thanks is due partly to the popularity of the show.
“[Vendors] are getting all differ-

ent people,” Woodcock said. “Ven-dors like coming down because they get people from [different areas].”
Russ Brownson has been attend-ing the show for the past 15 years as a vendor, and said a major draw is seeing a slew of familiar faces each year. Originally from Madoc, Brownson came from Peterborough for the show, looking to sell or trade parts of the small collection he brought this year.
“I like to see the people, you get to know the people that come here, both the customers and the vendors, and it’s nice to see them,” he said. “We like the atmosphere of shows.”
Brownson said the majority of customers are generally hunters, but there is a good mix of collectors as well.
“It’s mostly hunting equipment, but I mean guys that collect come too, because you never know what you’re going to find,” he said.

EMC Lifestyles - Hastings/Prince Edward - Spring can uncover some unwanted items in public places including used syringes that always pose a health threat. Used syringes (also called needles) can carry HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses. It is im-portant to recognize discarded needles and to know what to do if you see one. Being jabbed or pricked by one is called a needle-stick injury. If you experience a needle-stick injury you should seek immediate medi-cal attention.
Children may come across a used needle in a park or other public place, says Stephanie McFaul, communicable disease program manager with the Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Health Unit. Teach your children what a syringe looks like and advise them never to touch one and to let an adult
know if they see one.To see a photo of a used needle go to<www.
yourhealthunit.ca> and, from the main menu, choose Communicable Disease Control/Needle Exchange/Found Needles.
Property owners have the legal responsibility for removing used syringes from their property but they can get assistance from the health unit or the police. The health unit can provide a sharps con-tainer, a hard, plastic container designed to safely hold used needles, for those who need one.
Follow these steps carefully if you come across a used needle:
Do not touch the needle.If you do not have a sharps container, call for
help. Call your local police department at their
regular number or call the health unit at 613-966-5500. If it is after-hours, follow the prompts to talk to the after-hours public health inspector.
If you are comfortable handling the situation and you have a sharps container, take it to the needle.
Do not pick up the needle with your hands. Instead use tongs or pliers. Place the needle into the sharps container, sharp end down and away from you. Close the lid. Call the health unit at 613-966-5500 about how to deal with the sharps container. Never put a needle into the garbage or recycling.
If you are stuck by a needle:Allow the wound to bleed freely until you can properly
wash and disinfect the site.Wash thoroughly with soap and warm water.Disinfect the wound (for example, with an alcohol swab).Cover the wound with a bandage.Seek immediate medical attention from an emergency de-
partment. You may need testing and post-exposure medica-tion.

Mixing Blue with GreenIdeas for nurturing respect and love
for the environment within children are also included among the wide range of topics found on the Canadian Child Care Federation web site. “Growing a ‘Green’ Garden” and “Exploring Na-ture with Children” promotes the idea of adults becoming role models to children by adopting a childlike sense of wonder about bugs, rocks, worms, nests, and yes, even dandelions. They emphasize that being a science expert to your child is not nearly as important as affi rming their curiosity about the natural world.
In wonder-fi lled activities we do to-gether, children also learn new vocabu-lary, comprehension and observation skills—skills that are essential to litera-cy learning. When we help children read
seed packages or feeding instructions for birdfeeders, or seek information about nature through magazines, books, or the Internet we support their reading skills too. Jackson’s emerging reading skills are already evident. He recognizes the three-arrowed recycling symbol and understands its meaning.
Jackson’s mom doesn’t really like to pick up worms, and she is not always pleased with the yellow dandelions on her lawn, but she knows these things ex-cite Jackson. She joins Jackson’s sense of wonder about the recycling truck, worms and dandelions. And when Jack-son snuggles in for his bedtime story she reads him “In the Garden” by Peggy Collins. It’s about a little boy just like Jackson who loves the outdoors.

By Scott PettigrewEMC News - Tweed - The Gateway Community Health Cen-tre (CHC) in Tweed held a press conference April 8 where the Minister of Rural Affairs Jeff Leal announced funding has been made available for a 10,000-square-foot expansion of Gateway CHC as well as a capital investment for Belleville-Quinte West who have been operating a community health centre out of por-tables and will now be building a new centre.
“Rural communities have unique health care needs; this is why the programs and services offered by Gateway and Belleville Quinte West Community Health Centres are es-sential and will be further enhanced with the construction of new facilities. This will result in more programs and services available to more clients, strengthening the rural community it serves,” said Leal. Leal was asked if a dollar value had been put on the project and said the process will involve sending out requests for tenders in the newspaper and waiting for dol-lar estimates to come, at which time they will be examined and have to go through an approval process. Once the tenders have been accepted then a date to begin construction could be established.
After Doctor Andy Quinn (primary care physician at Gate-way) thanked Minister Leal from all the staff he said, “We need to thank the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for supporting our capital request to renovate our existing structure but also to build a new 10,000-square-foot primary care building. [The existing building will be used mainly for administration and programming]. We also want to thank the Southeast LHIN board and staff and our own board of direc-tors along with Lyn Linton and Louise Griff, who worked tirelessly on this initiative since 2009.”
Doctor Quinn said the existing Gateway building was built 20 years ago and of the 10,000 square feet, there is only about 5,200 that is usable space. “At that time we envisioned never having more than 19 staff and we now have 30. Over the years we had to constantly retool the building resulting in major problems with air fl ow, ventilation, heating and air con-ditioning so we are very excited about being able to improve our work fl ow, infectious disease control, new opportunities for learning and we will have a new facility for our OTM conferencing which is very important to rural physicians and nurses. It will also allow us to solve many of the problems in the existing building.”
Capital investments announced for CHCsAsked if there would be any interrup-
tion in services at Gateway Quinn said everything would continue as normal. Once the new building is fi nished, peo-ple would be treated there and the reno-vations to the existing building would then be done.
“Today’s announcement for a capital investment to create a permanent site for the Quinte West centre means people living in the area will have improved ac-cess to services they need. Their com-plex health care needs and often limited access to health care will be effectively addressed through our permanent site. We are very excited to move forward with our plans to achieve ongoing site for service delivery to our clients and the community,” said Michael Piercy,
chair of the board of directors for Bel-leville Quinte West CHC.
The Gateway CHC and Belleville Quinte West CHC are two of 17 sites across Ontario to benefi t from commu-nity capital improvement projects this year. There are 101 CHCs throughout Ontario providing care for more than 300,000 people.
“This will be a tremendous boost for health services in our community,” said Tweed Mayor Jo-Anne Albert. “It is very heartening to acknowledge the continued commitment by the province to the rural lifestyle and more specifi cal-ly our health needs. The Gateway CHC is a vital part of our community … they are a great community partner with the municipality, the Eastern Ontario Trails
Alliance, the Kiwanis Club, Salvation Army, schools; I don’t think there an organization in Tweed they have not partnered with over the years.”

SPORTS
By Steve JesselEMC Sports - Belleville - Not all sports are played with a puck or a ball, and with the Belleville Ultimate Disc Association (BUDA) now entering its second summer season, the league is looking for some new players to come out and swell their ranks.
“I really like the fitness aspect and the camaraderie between play-ers,” said league representative Brice McCarroll. “It’s really one of those sports where it bases itself on sportsmanship and having fun.”
While many know the sport as “Ultimate Frisbee,” the game is more colloquially known as simply “Ultimate,” and revolves around passing a Frisbee between team-mates in order to score points. While the summer league is ages 18 and over, the sport is appropriate for al-most all ages and fitness levels. Mc-Carroll said that the learning curve can take a couple months to learn how to throw the disc properly, but that the rules of the game are simple enough.
“If you can run and catch, you can pretty much play,” McCarroll said with a laugh.
The BUDA summer season gets under way on May 21, and registra-tion is currently ongoing through the month of April. After the inau-gural season saw roughly 65 people come out and join the league, Mc-Carroll is hoping for more like 80 to 90 players this season, in order to fill six teams.
“The first year it was a lot of fun, people loved it, and we did a lot of learning as well because it was our first year,” McCarroll said.
Games take place Tuesday nights at Albert College, and the season runs for 14 weeks. All skill levels are welcome and no previous expe-rience is required.
“We take it easy, we don’t go hardcore,” McCarroll said. “The best way to learn is to come out and play.”
For more information, including how to register and the full rules of the game, visit the BUDA web site at <www.bellevilleultimate.ca>.
By Steve JesselEMC Sports - Belleville - The Belleville Bulls are off to the OHL Eastern Conference finals after a dominating showing over the outmatched Sudbury Wolves, and will now face the Barrie Colts for the chance to play for the J. Ross Robert-son Cup, beginning with game one on Friday, April 19, at the Yardmen Arena in Belleville.
After winning the first three games of their semi-final se-ries by a combined score of 14 - 4, the Bulls brought out the brooms and swept the Sudbury Wolves from the play-offs after a 5 - 0 win on Thursday, April 11. With his second con-secutive shutout, Bulls goaltender Malcolm Subban has now not allowed a goal in over 135 minutes of hockey, while Bulls forward Tyler Graovac sits second in play-off scoring with five goals and 12 assists through 10 games.
Graovac was named the OHL’s 2012-2013 recipient of the William Hanley Trophy for the league’s most sportsmanlike player of year this past week, after recording only 18 pen-alty minutes this season. Graovac also sat inside the top 20 in league scoring with 73 points, and narrowly edged out OHL Rookie of the Year Connor McDavid for the award, garnering 43 points during the voting process to McDavid’s 42. Grao-vac will be presented with the William Hanley Trophy at the 2012-2013 OHL Awards Ceremony set for Tuesday, June 4, at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.
The Bulls will certainly need both Graovac and Subban firing on all cylinders when they face their toughest test of these play-offs so far in the Barrie Colts. The two teams met just twice this season with each taking a victory, however, through the first two rounds of the play-offs the Colts have yet to lose a single game. After scoring 22 goals in a four-game sweep of the Kingston Frontenacs in the first round, the Colts also swept the Oshawa Generals in four games in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Barrie is led by Winnipeg Jets 2011 seventh-overall NHL draft pick Mark Scheifele, who record-ed 79 points in just 45 games this season, and has 16 points through the Colts first eight play-off games this year.

At the Ontario Wom-en’s Hockey Associa-tion play-offs in Ottawa, the Comets opened their round-robin pool sched-ule with a 3 - 0 win over the Scarborough Sharks before taking a 2 - 0 loss to the Mount Brydges Cougars.

A cheque for $160,886.46 was presented at the Legion: (l-r) Legion president Red MacLean, Colonel Sean Friday, Gordon Moore, Mayor John Williams and Hugh O’Neil. Photo: Kate Everson
Royal Canadian Legions across the country donate to memorialBy Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - A total of $160,886.46 was pre-sented to Mayor John Williams for the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial Fund from Legion branches across the country.
“We are renewing our pledge to the 158 men and women who died in Afghanistan,” said MC Ena Newman.
Dominion President of the Royal Canadian Legion Gordon Moore presented the cheque at the Legion on April 12. A presenta-tion had been planned at Bain Park but the ice storm was respon-sible for a quick change in plans.
Gordon Moore said the Legion donations were collected from 1,400 Legion branches across the country as an example of their support. “We had a fantastic response,” he said.
Mayor John Williams said the initiative for the memorial was started two and a half years ago because they felt it was important to have a place to honour the fallen at the start of the Highway of Heroes.
The mayor applauded the Legion for what it does every day for the community and the country.
Hugh O’Neil, who came up with the idea for the memorial, said the site is a beautiful place for families to come. “Soon the bay will be clear, the grass will grow and the fl owers sprout,” he said. “It’s a beautiful monument. It lists all the names of our war heroes. It’s the best thing we’ve ever done.”
There was a separate $1,000 presented by Everett Red MacLean from Legion Branch 110 to Gordon Moore for the Dominion Com-mand.

By Bill FreemanEMC News - Norwood - The marriage of smart board technology and video-conferencing has helped Norwood District High School provide uni-versity level Grade 12 calculus to seven students who otherwise would not have been able to take the course at NDHS because of low numbers.
The twinning of NDHS with a math class at Campbellford District High School was “very successful,” says NDHS principal Mary Lou Steinmann.
“Technology is really helping us to offer courses to our students,” Steinmann said during a visit to council with local school trustee Shirley Patterson and public board superintendent Greg Ingram.
Steinmann talked about some of the school’s specialist programs and “specialized learning op-portunities” at NDHS which, like many in On-tario, particularly those in rural communities, is grappling with enrollment challenges.
“The staffi ng is just not [big] enough to be able to run a course for seven,” she said.
The solution, a smartboard-enabled seminar room at NDHS with video-cam and a classroom at CDHS. “One teacher but two classes.”
Steinmann said Norwood’s students visited CDHS every day for the fi rst two weeks so they could “feel comfortable with the teacher and the students” and so the teacher could get to know them as well.
The smartboard works in real time so anything written on the boards at NDHS and CDHS were immediately visible to students.
“You still have a teacher in front of you,” said Steinmann. “In the future I think it’s possible to do a course solely by videoconferencing.
“[The students] feel such a strong connection with the teacher even through the technology.”
The two schools are already talking about ad-
ditional video courses next year with NDHS run-ning a course for Campbellford students.
“We’re very pleased,” Steinmann said. “Be-cause we’re small we have to be creative.”
NDHS also offers 36 online courses for stu-dents through the KPR and Provincial School Board Consortium, she added. Students can take courses not offered at the school or those that don’t fi t their timetable.
Steinmann says 20 per cent of NDHS students head to university, 60 per cent to college and 20 per cent to the workplace.
She spoke about the school’s four Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs: forestry, hospitality, manufacturing and sports and fi tness.
Eighty-eight students (77 per cent) of NDHS students are enrolled in an SHSM program.
The school also has a partnership with Fleming College that allows them to earn dual credits in either manufacturing or hospitality.
Students travel to Fleming every Monday and “really enjoy going into the college environ-ment.”
For some students, she says, “something that was so foreign to them when they started” is now “doable.”
Co-operative education is another strong focus at NDHS, Steinmann said, thanking the commu-nity for “continuing to support our students [and] giving them a chance to see what the real world is like.
“It often helps them fi nd their niche.”NDHS is celebrated for the “broad variety” of
its extra-curricular activities, non-sporting and sporting; there are 23 clubs and activities, every-thing from the Gay/Straight Alliance and Javafest to the Duke of Edinburgh Challenge and Terry Fox.
“The high school experience is much more than the courses that we take,” said Steinmann.

War diaries will go to War MuseumColonel Sean Friday said he participated in the mission in Afghani-
stan in 2008 and “too many ramp ceremonies” there and here. The base was responsible for helping the families receive their loved ones with a great deal of care. “The whole country is behind the memorial,” he said. “When families come back here to the site I see by the look on their faces a real uplifting.”
Renay Groves presented war diaries to Gordon Moore and Sean Fri-day, saying it is a notebook for soldiers to carry on their missions. Some will end up in the Canadian War Museum. She said two captains from her regiment were killed on the same day. She noted that one person here, Sergeant Greg Huizinga, from Belleville, is a local hero who was in Afghanistan.
Huizinga said he used to ref soccer in Bain Park and is glad the me-morial is somewhere people can see it. “It’s a great spot,” he said.
Moore presented two Diamond Jubilee Medals to Howie Bonter and Gary Newman.

By Steve JesselEMC Entertainment - Belleville - The Big Music Fest will be once again taking the stage at Zwicks Park in Bel-leville this summer, as the festival lineup was announced early last week by organizers. Hedley, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Bleeker Ridge and Canadian music icon and
Big lineup for Big Music Festoriginal Guess Who singer Burton Cummings and his band will all make an appearance at this year’s edition, which takes place on June 22.
“We’re thrilled, we’re ready to go and we’re looking for-ward to it,” said Big Music Fest site manager David Joyce. “It’s a great way to kick off the summer.”
After last year’s Big Music Fest catered to a slightly younger audience, Joyce said he’s confident the acts this year will have a broader appeal. An estimated 10,000 people are expected at the festival this year, but with Zwicks Park ca-pable of holding up to 15,000, Joyce said that number could be even more with fans coming from as far as Montreal, To-ronto and the U.S.
“It fills the hotels, it fills the parks, it fills all the other ven-ues in town,” Joyce said. “It’s a good draw for Belleville, and trust me, it puts us on the map, in terms of music phe-nomenon.”
Ryan Williams, president of the Bay of Quinte Tourist Council estimated that the event injects over a million dollars into the community each year, and said that there are only two or three other events throughout the year that have that sort of impact in terms of tourism.
“It’s becoming more prevalent that we’re getting these great music festivals ... we are becoming known for that,” Williams said. “Anytime we can get this calibre of festival back to Belleville, it says a lot about the community and the Bay of Quinte region.”
Gates for the festival open at noon on June 22, with entertain-ment beginning at roughly 1:30 p.m. The event is fully licensed with a designated drinking area, and a large number of security staff and police on hand. There will also be a number of vendors offering a range of services. The festival runs until roughly mid-night, however, a ticket allows festival goers to come and go as they please. Tickets are now on sale at Best Western Hotel in Belleville, or online at <www.bigmusicfest.com>. General ad-mission is $64.50, and VIP passes are $84.50. Canadian rockers Hedley will be joined at Big Music Fest by Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Bleeker
Ridge and Canadian music icon Burton Cummings and his band. Photo: Submitted

Continued from page B4Finley, which was held recently in Co-bourg and then Norwood, to its finale fund raiser, the lineup for 2013 “pres-ents the full gamut of storytelling right from the spoken word to wordless mu-sic,” said Finley.
“We like to take Westben out into the community to expand our audience reach,” noted Bennett.
In June the Festival “celebrates the community even more,” with its annual Campbellford District High School music night featuring its jazz ensem-bles on June 8.
“Book of Broadway on June 9 will showcase Westben’s youth and teen choruses.
“The new chorus features girls from the youth choir and guys whose voices have changed,” Bennett said.
“It means we can sing in four-part harmony, bass, tenor, alto and soprano. The boys are having a great time,” she added, with excitement. The boys and girls range in age from 14 to 18 years.
The show is a musical storybook, in keeping with the season’s theme, featur-ing favourite Broadway moments from The Jungle Book and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat.
Still promoting its “stories that sing” Westben will be presenting Peter & the Wolf on June 16 narrated by the festi-val’s own Teresa Castonguay.
Well-known and highly respected retired music teacher Nancy Elmhirst will guide the newly formed Westben Wind Ensemble in its public debut, another first for the Festival.
“The big thing about that concert is it’s a show for kids of all ages. We haven’t done this for a few years and it sits well with our theme of stories that sing,” said Bennett, who pointed out that June has always been community month for the Festival.
Something new this season will see Westben hosting a pre-miere event Bennett refers to as its “Rule Britannia Weekend,” which begins with “Irish Pub Night” on July 12 featuring The Dardanelles, followed by “Burns to Brigadoon” on July 13 then “England to a Tea: This Sceptred Isle” on July 14 .
“It’s a themed weekend,” said Bennett.Keeping its sense of community centrestage Westben will
present “Words & Notes” on July 16 featuring two local authors, Judy Fong-Bates and Martha Schabas.
“Explore stories of home and home away from home as Judy and Martha read from their work and Brian performs Preludes from Rachmaninoff and from his own collection of evocative piano solos Preludes to Canada,” she explained.
The theatre’s finale fund raiser is called “Viva Italia.”And the performances at Westben don’t really end there.Christmas at Westben this year is being held November 23,
30 and December 1 and it is called Little Match Girl Messiah.“All in all I think it’s a very uplifting and varied season. Re-
ally exciting,” Bennett concluded.For tickets or more information call the Westben office, 87

Westben’s season to sing stories
By Judy BackusEMC News - Marmora - The second annual Siberian Husky Sled Dog Show-case took place at the fairgrounds in spite of very unsettled weather follow-ing the recent ice storm. On April 13, husky owners from Ontario, Quebec, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, arrived in town with a total of 51 dogs, all eager to participate, work-ing valiantly through rain and generally miserable conditions.
Put on by the Siberian Husky Club of Canada, the day-long event saw the working sled dogs evaluated in a total of seven classes with a panel of three judges looking at body structure, gait, temperament, conditioning and overall impression.
Prizes in each of the categories in-cluded the traditional ribbons along with dog food and sled dog equipment. Laddy, a two-year-old dog from Doug-las, Ontario, was named this year’s Best in Show.
The showcase, which last year was held in Havelock, was organized for the
second time by husky owner Abby Fal-lis of Havelock. She commented at the end of the day, which concluded with a potluck dinner and a chance to warm up at St. Andrew’s United Church, “As this is our second year, we are indeed hop-ing to make this a long standing annual event. It is a very different style of show putting breed function as the main focus. Often we hear of purebred breeds that have gone to such a focus on show ring wins that the breed purpose and health aren’t priorities. Exhibitors today all share a main goal: to ensure the Siberian husky remains a working dog.”
By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - The re-stored Trenton Junction VIA station is another success story. Train enthu-siast Errick Camolese told council Monday night that more passengers are now using the facility.
“This is our eleventh year of service since the restora-tion,” he said. “We had 8,800 passengers use the junction last year, up eleven per cent over the previous year.”
Since the restoration a total of 67,000 passengers have used the station, an average of 160 a week.
“This is a continued success,” he said. “We have To-ronto bound and a round trip to Ottawa. Continued usage would revive more, especially moving from Toronto east to Montreal. There is a real gap in service.”
Mayor John Williams thanked Camolese for his update and continued support of the junction.
Terry Cassidy encouraged staff to get VIA to extend services to an expanded schedule. “We need extra ser-vice,” he said.
Trenton Junction not just another whistle stop
Sled dogs arrive ... but not to race
One of the events held in conjunction with the April 13 Siberian Husky Sled Dog Showcase, was a class for veteran dogs over the age of ten. Shown are the winners, starting with Richard Block of New Hampshire with his dog Newt who placed first; Tammi McNamara and Fargo from Kentbridge in second; followed by Caroline Morin from Quebec, whose dog, Winter Festival, placed third; and Laurel Turansky who travelled from Bracebridge with her dog Keo who was fourth in the division.

Reality Check On Hollywood, love, and marriage
EMC Lifestyles - I love a good chick flick. Sure, I’ll watch Band of Brothers or Die Hard with my husband, but when he cuddles up and sits through Pride and Prejudice, I melt.
Unfortunately finding a decent movie
is often an exercise in futility. Most new releases gross me out. There’s too much horror or blood, and throw in a zombie or two and it’s supposed to be a block-buster.
Nevertheless, dig deep and you’ll find some gems. And increasingly lately I’ve been discovering that gems in the chick flick genre have less to do with falling in love and more to do with keeping a mar-riage strong. Hollywood does marriage better than it does dating.
Take the movie Crazy, Stupid, Love, which I thought I’d detest for the first 45 minutes, because it revolves around a younger, cooler guy (Ryan Gosling) teaching an older, just dumped guy (Steve Carell) how to attract multiple women. It seemed so shallow. But the ending is supremely satisfying (and comes with a twist we never saw com-ing). Both Gosling’s character and Carell’s ex-wife realize that commit-
ment and stability are actually far sexier than living an empty life, a lesson that Carell knew all along.
Or take Hope Springs and Date Night, two movies portraying married couples who have fallen into a rut. The reality of the way the couples relate to each other is just too perfect, and the central mes-sage, that commitment matters, and that having someone to walk through life with matters, is beautiful. In fact, most movies that focus on marriage, from It’s Complicated to Couples Retreat to Shall We Dance say the same thing: those flighty feelings of infatuation eventually fade, and life settles into a routine. Will you then commit and keep working at your marriage, or will you drift and lose one of the greatest potential sources of happiness in your life?
Yet if Hollywood believes the best marriages are those between two people who are committed to work at it, a very
intentional approach, why do they por-tray love as something over which we have no control? A couple is thrown together and they “fall in love.” They complete each other. And these feelings alone should make them want to marry.
Most of my professional life revolves around marriage, as I blog and write books and speak. In the mountains of emails from desperate women I receive every week, one of the most common themes I see is this: My now-husband cheated on me while we were engaged, but we got married anyway. Recently I caught him having an affair. Or: My husband lived with his parents until we moved in together, and now we’re mar-ried. I hold down two jobs, and he bare-ly works part-time. But he refuses to do any housework.
Reading these I find myself so frus-trated, because the warning signs were there. Why would you marry a total
couch potato? Why marry a lying cheat-er? Because you love him, of course! And love will magically transform him. We can’t ignore those feelings, right?
Except that scientists say those feel-ings last, at most, eighteen months. And then you hit that rut and you’re in trouble.
In dating romances, Hollywood gives us this idea that it’s feelings that sustain a marriage, not the character of the two people involved.
Yet if all your friends and family think he’s a lout or are sure she’s flighty, you should likely listen to that, no mat-ter what you’re feeling.
Maybe we need to start applying the same principles to dating as we do to marriage. It’s character that counts, not just feelings. That’s a lesson Jane Aus-ten tried to teach us long ago, and per-haps we could all do with a little more Austen and a little less Zombie.
EMC Lifestyles - My friend, Doug Green, posted a picture on his web site of an ice-encased shrub and he waxed ever so eloquently about the beauty of Mother Nature. My wife posted a pic-ture of our three-stem birch clump also enveloped by ice. It was no longer beau-tiful; it was lying down on the ground. Yesterday I sawed off the ragged stumps. I also took the time to clean up the 40-foot piece of a Siberian elm which had pulled away from its main trunk and landed smack on top of our 30-year-old Bosc pear tree. I sawed up the latter one, too. Doug was right to remark on the beauty of it all but perspective is every-thing, right? There is a line in the Dave Gunning song “We’re All Leaving” that also comments on the “beauty of it all” as a person is pulled under the surface of the ocean by a rip tide.
O&S#2 Alison DaviesI have just finished reading Alison’s
column, “More About Life,” detailing her experiences planting a cedar hedge. I didn’t laugh but I did smile. I don’t think there’s a gardener on the planet who hasn’t done an “oopsy.” The neat thing about plants, including cedars, is that they are very forgiving and will do their utmost to survive our best intentions. When we purchased our current home
over 25 years ago, JoAnne Halloran left us with some wonderful gardens … with one exception. Along the east fence row the bridal veil spirea hedge was infested with a truly ugly weed. If dandelions chowed down on steroids and became uberthugs, they would look the same. I worked at pulling those things out for years with little success. One day, I saw a heritage house with the same problem. A few days later, as I passed the same house, I saw the most marvellous bed of oriental poppies! Oopsy.
O&S#3 Smart plantsLast week, when I wrote about mag-
nolia scale, I mentioned that the buds were about to open. Since I wrote that piece, the temperatures plummeted and the ice storm came and buds have still not opened. Many of our daffodils, tu-lips, hyacinth and spring ephemerals have poked their tips above ground. They did this almost two weeks ago; they haven’t opened up either. A few snow drops and even a couple of crocus have shown a colourful flower but that’s it. You know something, Gentle Reader? Until I see all of those bulbs blooming, I’m not going to even think about winter being gone.
O&S#4 Toucan is returned!A few weeks ago we reported that our
young cat, Toucan, had stepped outside one evening and did not return. We did everything we could to find her, includ-ing disturbing a few neighbours when they saw me prowling their backyards and under their decks. We received several phone calls and each time we checked out the cat, we were disappoint-ed to find a feline with similar character-istics but not “Tewks.”
We were hoping someone had found her wandering and had taken her in. Frankly, we had given up.
We received a phone call from a young lady who believed they had found her. We were dubious because these folks lived on the other side of the river, several miles from us. But … they said they read the vet’s phone number on her tags and, when they called up
Hillcrest Animal Hospital (thanks Hill-crest) they were given our phone num-ber. We checked out the call and, sure enough, it was Tewks. So thanks are extended to the young lady for making the call, thanks to her dad who managed to feed Tewks, and thanks to Providence for getting our cat back to us. Tewks was so relieved to be back she willingly sub-mitted to a tongue-bath from Sox, who was equally happy.
O&S#5 Corn gluten and seedingYou have an opportunity, once the
ground has dried up sufficiently and the soil temperatures are cool, to overseed your lawn. If we don’t experience an ex-ceptionally cool and wet spring, the seed should have ample time to germinate before the warmer season weeds show up. Remember that many of the weeds
O&S#1 Ice storm
you will see now, such as dandelions, are second year offerings and not this year’s new crop. Once you have mowed the new grass once, you can safely ap-ply corn gluten as both a fertilizer and a weed suppressant.
By Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West - Water fluoridation remains a contentious issue in many municipalities in Canada. The great debate continued at council on Monday night with a report brought for-ward by director of Public Works Chris Angelo.
“Is the whole city fluoridated?” asked Councillor Paul Kyte.
Angelo said only Bayside water is fluoridated. Trenton and Frankford and Batawa are not.
“You can smell it in the water,” Kyte said. “I don’t like it.”
Angelo said Bayside water was fluo-ridated after residents in South Sidney voted to have it added to the Bayside water treatment plant in 1995. It was a question on the ballot.
“If council is looking at removing it you would need public input,” Angelo
said.Ron Hamilton said residents wanted
it at the time the plant was built. “It helps children’s teeth,” he said.
Mayor John Williams said it is a democratic process to include what the people want.
Leslie Roseblade added, “There is a lot of proven information that it is a good thing and would benefit all the community.”
Ron Hamilton said they discussed it at the Health Unit. “They would like to see it stay,” he said.
Don Kuntze noted it is municipal water only that is fluoridated and many people are on wells.
Terry Cassidy said the information in this report is positive but there are other sides that are not highlighted. “Others have the opposite point of view,” he said. “We need to revisit all the plants and have a public meeting, a plebiscite on this issue. We need to keep our minds open.”
Paul Kyte noted that cities like Kitchener and Windsor have decided to remove fluoridation because of other negative effects.
Is fluoride in your drinking water healthy?

EMC B Section - Thursday, April 18, 2013 B7
EMC Entertainment - Belleville - Belleville’s world-famous Quinte Bal-let School will be front and centre in celebrating International Dance Day on Monday, April 29.
The school will hold an open house with free instruction in simple dance routines staring at 6 p.m.
Ballet school instructor Kareem By-field will teach participants the basic moves of a dance that can be done after outside, weather permitting, as a “flash-mob” event.
Ballet school officials said the move-ments for the mass dance will be “fun and easy.”
The school will serve cake and coffee following the dance while Quinte Ballet School Artistic Director Cathy Taylor will read the “official global message,” a Dance Day tradition since 1982 when the day was founded by the International Theatre Institute as a memorial to Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810) recog-nized as the creator of modern ballet.

Ukulele master offers music lesson at Madoc schools
By Richard TurtleEMC News - Madoc - Students at two area schools were treated to an impres-sive display of some serious musician-ship last week when James Hill arrived with his humble ukulele.
Hill, a talented professional musician who has crossed the country perform-ing and teaching, has been dubbed the “Wayne Gretzky of the Ukulele” by CBC Radio host Stuart McLean and his presentation for local students was as engaging as a Stanley Cup final.
After visiting Madoc Public School last Wednesday morning, Hill continued on to Madoc Township Public School for a late morning lesson there followed by an early afternoon concert. And, says Madoc Township music teacher Deb Chatreau, students there have been privileged in recent years as his visit marked his return engagement since the school’s instrumental music program was launched. “He visited MTPS three years ago to kick off our ukulele program and we are thrilled to have him back again,” she says. Now with a school collection of about 50 instruments, available to stu-dents on loan, Chatreau says the program is a very popular one and Hill’s perfor-mances have been a definite highlight for both students and teachers. Blue Skies in the Community, she adds, have been ex-tremely supportive of the program, offer-ing funding for the instruments.
In the classroom, the singer/songwrit-er who has released several CDs of his own compositions led students through the basics of the instrument while show-ing off its versatility and his own love of music. Music teachers, along with school board arts co-ordinator Susan Davies, were also on hand, playing along with the rest of the students and equally engrossed in the experience.
In the classroom or not, music can be infectious.
And Hill is quick to admit his affair with the uke began as an eight-year-old in British Columbia with a mandatory music program. In the ensuing years Hill has gone on to become a world-renowned musician but he still reflects on those early days and returns to the
classroom on a regular basis. Though, he admits, the frequency of his school trips are suffering at the expense of oth-er musical commitments.
“I used to do it more,” he says of class visits, “but I’m a lot busier now. I still try to [offer classroom workshops and school concerts] as often as I can.”
Madoc Public School teacher Jen Curtis says the students are easily in-spired by Hill’s talent as they can see just what the ukulele can do. And Hill says while it’s not always simple, it is possible to play anything on the uke, adding he at times joins forces with a cellist to perform.
Following the instructional section of his workshop, Hill was encouraged by the students to play a video game theme from Mario Brothers but he admits ow-ing to his inability to master the game, he only knows the first verse. And that, he says, was no simple tune to learn.
Following the classroom session, Hill performed a concert for the school in-cluding original selections from his re-cordings.

TRAVEL
Holland’s historic windmills are best viewed at Kinderdijk
I take a cruise on the Nehalennia from Rotterdam to Kinderdijk.
By John M. SmithEMC Lifestyles - Kinderdijk is a tiny village just east of the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, at the confl uence of the Lek and Noord rivers, and here I found a group of 19 windmills that were mostly built back in the 16th century. Now a designated World Heritage Site, it’s the country’s largest concentration
of historic windmills, and it’s defi nitely worth a visit.
I was staying at the beautiful Inntel Hotels Rotterdam Centre in one of the largest ports in the world—Rotterdam—often referred to as the “Gateway to Eu-rope.” I took a boat cruise from the near-by quay, below the fl ag-lined promenade (the ticket booth is located just east of
Rotterdam’s landmark Erasmus Bridge), to Kinderdijk. I boarded the Nehalennia in Rotterdam, and I then cruised along this city’s picturesque waterfront, before continuing the excursion to Kinderdijk about an hour’s journey away. I then had just over an hour to explore this Heritage Site on my own before returning to the boat and making the return trip to Rot-terdam; the entire excursion takes about three and a-half hours. The round trip costs 14 EUR for an adult, and reserva-tions are recommended. The boat leaves from Rotterdam at 10:45 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. daily (except Mondays) from April to October.
Once I arrived at Kinderdijk, I walked along a footpath on a dike, between two canals, for an up close and personal look at these old structures; there was also a separate cycling path. I discovered that eight of the windmills (built in 1738) were made of stone/brick, eight (built in 1740) were thatched-roofed wooden structures, two were built of stone a bit later (1760), and one (the oldest of them all) had been restored (the origi-nal having been built here in 1521). The windmills were built to drain the excess water from the Alblasserwaard polders (low-lying marshes enclosed by dikes) and since much of the Netherlands was below sea level, this system of drain-age was incredibly important. By 1869, these windmills received assistance from a steam-driven pumping station, which was replaced by a diesel pump-ing station in 1927. In the 1970s, a new diesel pumping station was built (one of the largest water pumping stations in Europe) and this one is still in opera-tion today. It contains three big “cork-screws,” which pump the water out of the polder and into the river. If needed, the old windmills themselves are still operational, too.
I discovered that each windmill had two doors, and this was so that people could always get out without hitting a blade, for the blades always faced the wind and the direction of the wind could certainly change. The powerful mill
sails were used to transmit the force of the wind on to
large paddle-wheels, which scooped up the water, and I was told that as the sails became worn, they needed repairs. When a hole was found in one of these large sails, it would be patched. Howev-er, when there were a lot of holes found, the sail would ultimately be replaced, and the old sail would then be used in the making of children’s clothes.
The collection of 19 historic wind-mills at Kinderdijk is quite a sight, es-pecially when the wind is gusting and they’re in full spin, with those massive sails coming so close to the ground. Most of these well-preserved mills, nestled along a network of canals, are privately owned and inhabited. However, one is kept open for the tourists; the “Bezoek-molen” (Visitor’s Mill) and here I was able to look inside a fully operational windmill, preserved in its original form, and the miller was even available to an-swer questions. There’s a fee to visit this particular windmill, but it’s included with the cost of the boat cruise.
This particular historic windmill at Kinderdijk is kept open for the tourists to view.
The country’s largest collection of historic windmills is found at Kinderdijk.
There’s a kind of serene beauty found in Kinderdijk among this network of historic windmills and I was pleased that these were not replicas or museum exhibits. Rather, they are the “real” thing—in their original location—and this is the best place in all of the coun-try to see old working windmills and the only place to see such a large concen-tration of them. Therefore, Kinderdijk is a very popular tourist attraction but, unlike so many other destinations, this one is not expensive to visit. In fact, ad-mittance is free—and it can be visited at any time. However, it’s best to come on a summer weekend, when all the mills are working (if suffi cient wind is blow-ing).
The boat cruise to Kinderdijk makes for a very nice half-day tour from Rot-terdam, but it’s also accessible via car, bus, and bicycle. While visiting Kin-derdijk, you can walk the footpath, rent a bicycle, or take a canal cruise. If you’re visiting there in early September, you can even witness the windmills all lit up at night, when the special “Mills in Floodlight” event takes place.

“You Can Rely On Our Service”
EMC B Section - Thursday, April 18, 2013 B11
EMC News - Northumberland - Canned goods, packaged products and other food items will not be the only things available for people using local food banks this spring.
The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit is reaching out to food bank clients in Cobourg, Port Hope, Hastings, Camp-bellford, Warkworth, Bewdley and Brighton, stated a press release.
During “Oral Health Month” in April and over the ensuing weeks, health unit staff will be visiting local food banks to distribute toothbrushes, dental floss and other oral health re-sources. Special efforts will also be made to share information with local families about financial-support pro-grams that can offset the costs of den-tal treatment.
One of these is the Healthy Smiles Ontario program, which can cover the costs of preventive and early dental treatment for children and teens up to age of 17 years.
“Our goal is to talk up the impor-tance of good oral health and provide information about Health Unit pro-grams and services that may be able to benefit local residents,” says Anna Rusak, an oral health promoter with the HKPR District Health Unit.
To date, local food bank opera-
tors have been very supportive of the health unit’s outreach. According to Rusak, making connections with people through area food banks is also beneficial for the Health Unit.
“Frequently, people only call us when there is an emergency,” Rusak notes.
“We’re hoping that through this initiative, we can reach more people before there is a problem by providing them with information about preven-tive dental services and programs.”
In addition to Healthy Smiles On-tario, the health unit also administers two other dental support programs: the Children in Need of Treatment program and the Ontario Works Den-tal Program.
Between the various financial-sup-port programs, hundreds of thousands of dollars are available each year to help local families cover the costs of urgent and preventive dental care.
According to a recent Public Health Ontario report, among Ontarians who did not visit a dentist in the past three years, one in five people cited cost as a barrier.
For more information about oral health and financial-support programs, local residents are encouraged to call the Health Unit toll-free at 1-866-888-4577.
By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - Just un-der 100 people gathered outside MP Daryl Kramp’s offices on Tuesday, April 9, to protest the spread and sale of genetically modified (GM) alfalfa in Ontario, and in talking to protes-tors it was clear that those involved were legitimately frightened about the potential repercussions of such an action.
“We’re petrified,” said National Farmers Union local chapter 334 president John Della Bosca. “The inevitable contamination of all the people that grow alfalfa, whether you want to or not, it will happen.”
Organized in part by the National Farmers Union (NFU), the protest joined dozens of others taking place across Canada and Ontario. While GM alfalfa was approved for Canada in 2005, no variety has so far been ap-proved for commercial release, but that could change soon. NFU member John Wilson said there’s a very real possibility that GM alfalfa is approved in Ontario as soon as this spring, which is why they felt a demonstration was their best course of action.
“The problem is that we’re all part of this enormous genetic modification experiment, where nobody knows where it’s going to lead and what’s going to happen,” Wilson said. “What we do know, is that genetically modi-fied alfalfa, because it is a plant that grows just about everywhere, will cross pollinate with other wild alfalfa and eventually it will even get into organic alfalfa crops.”
Aside from health concerns, Wilson said this will have an adverse affect on alfalfa farmers who choose not to use GM alfalfa, as once the new strain cross pollinates with organic crops lo-cal farmers will no longer be able to market themselves as “GMO free.”
“There’s no taking it back … once you have [GM] alfalfa out there it will

spread; it will cross pollinate, and it will change everything as we know it as far as alfalfa goes,” Wilson said. “We wanted to let Mr. Kramp know that not all farmers are for this, and many of us are against it.”
As part of the demonstration, the protest delivered a letter to Kramp’s office detailing their concerns about the spread of GMO’s into Ontario. Della Bosca said the protest wasn’t just about farmers, but also about fu-ture generations of Canadians.
“It’s a serious concern for not nec-essarily me, but my children, grand-children, because there are things that are linked to genetic modification that really get swept under the car-pet,” Della Bosca said. “We want the message to go out to the population
because people don’t necessarily know what GM means. We want people to become more and more aware that our food supply is being tampered with.”
Not everyone at the protest was a member of the NFU. Along with representatives from the slow food move-ment and other local farmers, Nadine Bertelsen from Madoc described herself as an ordinary person, and said that a large part of the protest was simply spreading the awareness of what GMOs are.
“We eat this food, our children eat this food … we don’t know what it’s doing to us; it’s very frightening,” she said. “If we don’t take a stand somewhere it’s just going to happen, and I feel like I want to be part of a solution.”

B18 EMC B Section - Thursday, April 18, 2013
By Scott PettigrewEMC Lifestyles - Tweed - Terry Sprague came to Tweed and spoke at St. Andrew’s Church as the first of three guest speakers to a nearly sold-out house. He was invited by the Tweed Historical So-ciety.
Terry has written a column for the Tweed News for the last ten years and has written 48 years for the Picton Gazette. He also now has his own busi-ness called Nature Stuff Tours where he does guid-ed hikes and private tours.
“I started this line of work at Sandbanks Pro-vincial Park where I was a guided hike leader and I fell in love with taking people out and telling things about the park; not only identifying things but explaining how certain flowers fit into the nat-ural scheme of things and why they are there and how things tie in together.”
Terry grew up on a farm on Big Island and still lives there. His first job was at Glenora Fisheries Research facility and after five years he was of-fered a position at Sandbanks as an Interpretive Naturalist after which he went to Quinte Conser-vation where he developed the guided tour pro-gram. When they pulled he continued the program
Terry Sprague attracts a big audience
Terry Sprague visited Tweed and gave a very inspiring talk about the natural beauty of Prince Edward County. Photo: Scott Pettigrew
on his own.The talk he gave in Tweed was a program he put
together at the request of the Prince Edward Stew-ardship Council who happen to have their office located just north of Tweed.
“We felt there was so much natural heritage in Prince Edward County that people were taking for granted we wanted to put together a presentation about the county. We are all somewhat guilty of taking the natural beauty around us for granted; we wanted to point out some of the special things like the sand banks, the natural features and some of the history.”
Terry’s slide show and presentation gave the au-dience a 360-degree view of Prince Edward Coun-ty complete with geological detail of the formation of the land, the type of plant and insect life, how the sand banks were formed and the history of days when the trees were removed and the sand banks shifted and began burying houses and large plots of fertile land. He had stories of the barley days and rum running and at the end he talked about the South Shore and the importance of protecting the bird migration that takes place every year.
After he was finished he had a question period and the subject of wind-generated electricity came up. He expressed real concerns about how this would affect the “… delicate natural biodiversity. The developers seem to think that you can simply take a shovel and move all the wild life but it is not that simple. Migration patterns in birds for ex-ample take hundreds of years to develop and they will fly into those windmills at night which is when they migrate.”
Terry finished his talk with the following, “My message is to cherish these areas that you have in Tweed and protect and enjoy them because once we lose them, they are gone forever. If an opportu-nity comes along to purchase an area or somehow set it aside I say go for it! As our human population explodes it will be harder and harder to set these ar-eas aside for future generations and it is important we preserve these natural gems for the future.”
