YOUR COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER TOTAL EMC DISTRIBUTION 500,000

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - Federal Liberal leadership candidate and perceived front-runner Justin Trudeau visited Loyalist College in Belleville on Thursday, February 14, and brought a message of changing Cana-dian politics for the better to an audience of Loyalist journalism students and interested members of the public.

“People are responding extremely positively to this campaign, to me, but most-ly to the idea that politics can be done differently,” Trudeau said. “The idea that we can actually shape the world with our engage-ment through politics once again.”

In a roughly 20-minute address, Trudeau eschewed presenting a point-by-point plan in favour of conveying a very particu-lar message. While he did later answer questions on Quebec, education, poverty and his father, much of his speech focused on the po-litical landscape Canadians face in modern times, and what he and the Liberal party hope to accomplish in terms of re-engaging Canadians in the political process, who he says have grown tired of the politics of division.

“We don’t particularly

Battery recycling pilot program coming to Belleville

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville Batteries get a lot of use around the household, from remote controls to smoke alarms, but once they’re used up all too often they are not disposed of properly. That’s why Quinte Waste Solu-tions is running a special one-time-only curbside col-lection of used or unwanted batteries in Belleville this

March, to gauge if a long-term program could find traction in the area.

“The capture rate for this particular material is very low compared to the actual amount that’s out there,” said operations supervisor for hazardous and electronic waste Tanya Delaney.

Beginning the week of March 4, clear battery-re-cycling bags with orange

markings will be mailed to roughly 20,000 homes in the Belleville and Thurlow area in preparation of a pilot bat-tery recycling week running from March 18 to March 22, 2013. The week also coin-cides with daylight savings time, and not by accident—Delaney said that as people are generally asked to change the batteries in their smoke alarms when changing their

clocks, this creates a perfect opportunity to tie the two together to create awareness about the program.

“There’s a real need for those to be diverted from landfill, and/or to be brought out of the homes, because a lot of people just keep it in a box, or a drawer, or a bag, and just don’t know what to do with them,” Delaney said.

While the pilot program will have a soft goal of col-lecting 9,000 pounds of bat-teries for their first try, Del-aney said the main purpose of the pilot is to actually col-lect information on the re-sources needed, the expense and the overall logistics of such a program.

Torch for Life hopes to encourage organ transplantsBy Kate EversonEMC News - Quinte West Khaled Khatib stopped at city hall on February 16, greeted by Mayor John Wil-liams, MPP Rob Milligan and his two daughters Linda and Samantha. They all held up the torch together.

“We hope people learn more about organ trans-plants,” said the mayor; he noted that Milligan was working through Queen’s Park to bring out a bill to encourage more donors.

Khaled, who is 21, also stopped in Belleville on his way to Brighton. He is run-ning from Ottawa to Toron-to, a distance of 498 kilome-tres; he began the run Feb-ruary 5 on Parliament Hill and will finish at Queen’s Park February 22. He hopes to help his friend Anthony

get a kidney transplant while encouraging others to help save a life.

Anthony is 28 years old. He was born with a rare disease called Fabry’s. This disease attacks the heart and kidneys.

He currently has an en-larged heart and two com-pletely destroyed kidneys. He wants to help the over 4,000 other Canadians that are waiting and living the way he is. The family has recruited Step By Step, and Khaled Khatib to join forces with Anthony. Together they will try to inspire as many people as possible, first by a short film, followed by an amazing 498-kilometre walk by Khaled. He will car-ry the famous Torch Of Life lit every step of the way, and he will be webcast live on

<www.torchoflife.com>. He wants Anthony to receive his kidney so he could join him when he walks across Canada next year.

feel that politics too often is a worthy use of our engage-ment, our time or our ener-gies,” Trudeau said. “We’re not necessarily looking at politics as an actual vehicle for change.”

Rather than blaming young people, students and disengaged Canadians, Trudeau said he blamed poli-ticians for fostering cynicism in current Canadian politics, which in turn has driven people away from becom-ing engaged in the process. Specifically, he noted divid-ing the country between east and west, rural and urban or English to French as a strat-egy he feels is unsustainable for the future.

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

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

“Canadians, for the first time are sensing a break-

down … in the very prem-ise that shaped this country, the idea that you could come here from anywhere in the world, settle anywhere, work hard and succeed,” he said.

He added that creating a thriving, prosperous middle class is the best measure of measuring Canada’s eco-nomic success.

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

Trudeau also took the op-portunity to champion the new format of the Liberal leadership race, where Cana-dians are able to vote online for the next Liberal leader. He said it shows the Liberal party’s renewed commit-ment to representing all Ca-

nadians, rather than picking and choosing which areas of the country to represent.

“We need to make sure that we are a strong voice that reaches out across this country, to build on the val-ues, hopes and dreams that define us,” Trudeau said.

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

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

Loyalist gets message from Trudeau

By Jack EvansEMC News - Belleville In a leadership campaign stopover at Loyalist College Thursday morning, Justin Trudeau, considered one of the leading candidates for leadership of the federal Liberal Party, focussed on his dream of a new form of participatory democracy.

At one point, in reply to a question, he hinted at a complete reorganization of government between federal, provincial and mu-nicipal levels to form im-proved co-operation, bet-ter resources to deal with major problems and, most important, more meaning-ful input and participation by all Canadians from coast to coast.

With a youthful stu-dent-majority and capac-ity audience in the student auditorium, his message of cynicism and lack of voter interest in federal politics, the direct result of policies by the present Conserva-tive government, fell on fruitful ears. But there was

also a strong presence of longtime Liberal support-ers, including former MP and agriculture minister Lyle Vanclief and Mayor Neil Ellis.

Trudeau showcased his party’s new style of elect-ing a leader, making a free ballot offer to anyone who wanted to sign up within the next two weeks and authorize them to vote di-rectly for the candidate of their choice.

“This is our example of establishing trust and re-spect for Canadian voters,” he said.

He described the present government’s policies as “divisive and deceptive.”

Such policies, he admit-ted, may work for Prime Minister Harper, “but they don’t work for govern-ing a country responsibly. People are voting against candidates and policies, not for them. We’re better than that.”

He conceded a solid growth in Canada’s econ-omy over the past several

years, but noted that the median family income in the same period has risen by only 13 per cent—fall-ing behind inflation

“This present generation now suspects that the next generation will not have the same quality of life. A prosperous middle class needs to be part of our suc-cess.”

He said his message of open and participatory gov-ernment has drawn “amaz-ing” support across Canada, including rural Alberta.

Asked about Quebec un-der its new Parti Quebecois leadership, Trudeau af-firmed the vital importance of Quebec to the Liberal party and to Canada and noted the present provin-cial government holds only small minority strength.

“Nobody in Quebec is talking about an indepen-dent state,” he proclaimed. “The issues there are jobs, health care and education.”

Questioned about in-creasing poverty, Trudeau said he sees a “moral imper-

Justin Trudeau seeks new deal for democracyative that no one lives in a survival mode.” He blamed some despair on lack of a “path to success—a ladder out of poverty,” and said such a path must be found. “But we must also have a strong enough economy to deal with that.”

He drew strong student support when asked about more federal support for education.

“In the future, 70 per cent of all jobs will require some post-secondary edu-cation. We now only have 50 per cent. We must set a target to get at least seven out of ten students into post-secondary and the federal government needs a bigger voice in education, but with respect for pro-vincial rights.”

To continue with Cana-da’s tradition of universal health care, he summed it up as: “You don’t get poor for getting sick.” He op-poses increasing privati-zation of various aspects of the health care system but agreed on the need for financial reality. “There are many opportuni-ties to develop solutions for improved health care that our present federal government is not look-ing at.” He also endorsed more prevention measures like exercise and diet, and more resources for home care.

Asked about dire infra-structure needs for urban areas, Trudeau agreed on

the need and said Canada was never designed to be “four-fifths urban.” The government structure must be “tweaked” be-tween municipal, provin-cial and federal levels to deal with the problems.

He flatly denied any likelihood of a merger between Liberal and New Democrat parties and de-nied any weakness in his policies as a leadership candidate.

“I’ve put forth as much policy as any other candi-date,” he responded.

A poignant reminder of his famous father, long-serving Pierre Trudeau came in the form of a framed photograph gift from a 1973 visit to Bel-leville. Belleville Police Constable Jeff Ling gave him a photo of Pierre Trudeau holding Justin as a young boy under one arm and being un-able to respond to a salute from then RCMP Inspec-tor Denis Ling, Jeff’s fa-

ther. Jeff said his father made the salute deliber-ately as a joke.

The would-be part leader noted he gets many reminders from the pub-lic about his father and mother, but this one, espe-cially on Valentine’s Day, brought tears to his eyes.

“We need to make sure that we are a strong voice that reaches out across

this country, to build on the values, hopes

and dreams that define us.”

Pilot program coming to Belleville

lot of that back on our resi-dents; we want to fi nd the best way and the most effi -cient and economical way to do it,” she said.

The 9,000-pound target comes from a similar pro-gram in Durham where 66,000 pounds of batteries were collected from approx-imately 194,000 homes, and bringing that ratio down to the amount of homes tar-geted in the Belleville area gave a soft target to aim for.

“If we exceed that it’s great, but if we don’t we need to fi gure out how we can bring that number up and sort of move forward from there,” Delaney said.

Long-term, Quinte Waste Solutions would like to hold the program twice a year if possible, beginning in 2014. For the pilot program, only single-use alkaline batteries will be accepted, from AAA to nine-volt. Rechargeable batteries may also be ac-cepted in the future should the program go ahead.

For the pilot, Quinte Waste Solutions has part-nered with Raw Materials Company, Ontario’s only

approved battery proces-sor for single-use alkaline batteries under the Stew-ardship Ontario program. Raw Materials Company recycles between 86 per cent and 92 per cent of each bat-tery collected depending on the type, and the recovered materials—like steel, man-ganese, zinc and potassi-um—are put back into the marketplace reducing the carbon footprint associated with mining these materials from ore.

“Curbside collection is the most convenient meth-od for residents to recycle their batteries. It maximizes the participation and collec-tion rates and greatly reduc-es the amount of batteries entering our landfi lls,” said Cory Graper of Raw Mate-rials Company in a release.

In 2010, Canadian resi-dents discarded 745 million batteries with their house-hold trash. Less than fi ve per cent were properly recycled.

Quinte Waste Solutions is the operating name of the Centre & South Hast-ings Waste Services Board, and provides curbside recy-cling, commercial recycling, household hazardous waste collection and waste elec-tronics collection for nine municipal partners, includ-ing Belleville, Quinte West, Prince Edward County, Marmora & Lake, Madoc Township, Centre Hastings, Stirling-Rawdon, Tweed and Tyendinaga Township. In 2012, Quinte Waste So-lutions collected 3.7 metric tons of spent alkaline batter-ies through the Household Hazardous & Electronic Waste program.

Participants in the pilot program are asked to place their sealed battery recycling bag on top of their blue box materials, as Tanya Delaney from Quinte Waste Solutions demonstrates.


EMC News - Belleville Local legal advocates are looking for support from area politicians on a fed-eral private member’s bill dealing with affordable housing.

If passed, Bill C-400 would require the federal government to develop a national affordable hous-ing strategy in consulta-tion with the provinces and other stakeholders. The Community Advoca-cy & Legal Centre, based in Belleville, would like to see the bill supported by local members of par-liament when it receives

second reading. That is scheduled for February 27, 2013.

“The bill was supported at fi rst reading by all op-position parties,” says Dan McCabe, a lawyer with CALC. “But the bill will likely need the support of at least 13 Conservative MPs to move past second reading. We want to en-courage our local MPs, Daryl Kramp, Rick Nor-lock and Scott Reid, to support the bill.”

Those in favour of Bill C-400, say that recogniz-ing housing as a human right does not mean gov-

ernments have to pro-vide housing to everyone. Instead, the intention of the bill is that the federal government take a leader-ship role in ensuring ad-equate housing. The bill, introduced by NDP MP Marie-Claude Morin, calls on them to work with all levels of government, non-profi ts, the private sector and key stakeholders. The goal is to adopt a compre-hensive strategy to address the causes of homelessness and to ensure that, within a reasonable time, no one will be denied access to ad-equate housing in Canada.

Legal advocates support action on a� ordable housing“As Canadians, we have

core values,” says McCabe. “The right to housing for all is central to our dig-nity, security and equality. It goes far beyond partisan politics.”

CALC and other advo-cates of Bill C-400 also believe that ensuring Ca-nadians have affordable and healthy places to live makes sense for the econ-omy. They point to the high cost of having peo-ple living on streets or in emergency shelters.

“Reliable estimates say 400,000 Canadians are homeless and another 1.5 million lack access to secure housing,” says McCabe. “Apart from being morally responsible, developing a national affordable housing strategy and encouraging investment in affordable housing is a smart eco-nomic decision. The federal government has estimated that every dollar invested in housing reaps a benefi t of $1.40 to the Canadian economy.”

CALC is encouraging people to contact their federal members of parlia-ment to ask them to sup-port Bill C-400.

By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville - The Belleville Downtown DocFest’s second Internation-al Documentary Film Festival returns this March after a highly successful inaugural debut, and this year features a bevy of international, Cana-dian and local films.

Beginning on Friday, March 1, the three-day fes-tival is holding a special opening gala at the Empire Theatre in Belleville begin-ning at 7 p.m. The gala will feature the Academy Award-nominated documentary Searching For Sugar Man. The documentary follows the story of two South Africans as they try and find out if the rumours of the death of an obscure American musician were true, and if not, to dis-cover what had happened to

him. The film was nominated in the Best Documentary cat-egory at the 2013 Academy Awards, and won the Best Documentary category at the 2013 BAFTA awards. The film will be followed with a special live performance fea-turing Toronto songwriter and member of Broken Social Scene Jason Collett. Tickets for the opening gala are $25, and the event is being spon-sored by Pretsell Cavanaugh Davies Lawyers. Friday also features documentaries showing throughout the day beginning at 12 p.m., at all of the screening locations: The Empire Theatre, the CORE Centre and Belleville Public Library & John M. Parrott Art Gallery.

Saturday, March 2, will fea-ture a number of documen-taries from local filmmak-

ers alongside international pieces, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Prince Edward Room of the CORE Centre.

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

Legion Branch President George Jones, along with World War II veteran and 55-year Legion member Ted Morin, presented certificates to 15 students in the Prima-ry, Junior and Intermediate categories, including a first-place finish for Zone winner Alex Wiarda.

Before handing out the

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

A total of 231 entries were received and judged by local members “and I know there are repeat winners,” said Jones, congratulating all par-ticipants for their efforts, “but to me, you’re all winners.”

Award recipients included Primary Colour Poster en-trants Lily McEwen - 1st, Jessica Striker - 2nd and

Abigail Boyd - 3rd, Junior b/w poster entrants Kendra Steele - 1st, Cole Van Schel-ven - 2nd and Connor May Rose Tracey - 3rd, Junior Colour Poster entrants Han-nah Smith - 1st and Justin Hampel - 2nd, Junior Poem entrants Joshua Mainse - 1st, Anna MacDonald - 2nd and Cole Van Schelven - 3rd, Intermediate b/w poster en-trants Alex Wiarda - 1st and Emma Crago - 2nd, Interme-diate Colour Poster winners included Amanda Rogers - 1st and Kaylee Johnston.

Morin, who is among the competition judges, also spoke briefly during the pre-sentations and congratulat-ed students for their efforts

while Principal Steve Tof-felmire thanked both visi-tors and students for their participation and support.

First-place winners at the branch level go on to partici-pate in the Zone competition where the winning submis-sions from nine different Legions are judged. Wiarda received his first-place fin-ish at the zone level before competing at the District level which, says Jones, “is quite an accomplishment.”

Students from Stirling’s Junior and Primary Schools were recognized in Janu-ary with similar presenta-tions while ceremonies for students at Stirling Senior are being scheduled, Jones says.

Letters to the editor

Dear Premier Wynne,The need to repair the

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

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

What kind of government

denies its citizens affordable access to the power they need to do business, turn on the lights and stay warm? By their foolish pursuit of landscape-polluting wind-mill and solar farms, the McGuinty Liberals became a serious threat to the interests of all the citizens of Ontario. They raised government folly to new heights. Their evil Green Energy Act needs to be repealed asap. As you travel the province in your second role, and if you listen, you will hear this.

Not one single windmill or

solar farm would ever have been, or ever will be built and operated without mas-sive government subsidies (that’s our money!) They are simply too expensive to build and run otherwise.

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

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

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

Meanwhile, foreign com-panies poured into Ontario to sell windmill and solar farm components because the McGuinty Liberals ei-ther couldn’t or wouldn’t read about the experiences in other countries and gave and are still giving away billions of our tax dollars to subsi-dize them. They must be laughing all the way to their banks about the suckers in Ontario.

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

The claim that global warming/climate change is

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

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

Yours truly,Charles W. Conn,

Hastings

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

No reply on debt

Dear Editor,It’s hard to believe that this

earth’s promise of spring, summer, fall and winter can be affected by keeping our parked cars cozy and letting the engine run, cool in sum-mer, warm in winter; it’s our right, right? Just as it’s our right to burn as much gas as

we like for whatever reason; we paid for it, right? Just like Hydro, and we complain that it costs too much.

But have we really paid for it? Or will the true cost be left to our children and our children’s children? Truth is, because of climate change, our earth’s predict-

able patterns of warmth and cold, rain, snow, wind, our ever-returning growing sea-sons, are now experiencing tornados, hurricanes, killing droughts and freak win-ter storms, lowering lakes, growing deserts and rising sea levels; maybe not here, maybe not yet, but clearly

in the USA, and other poor-er and more desperate coun-tries.

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

Here in Ontario, last year’s warm weather in Feb-ruary and March severely affected fruit trees that blos-somed way too early and later froze eliminating 80 per cent of the apple crop. The hot dry summer ru-ined gardens, dried up water tables for folks on wells and affected hay crops. Now hay is scarce and expensive and some folks around here are selling off livestock and eu-thanizing horses. It’s clear that climate change does and will affect the world’s food supply. How do you put a value on the rain? We pay for our gas today, but what cost will we pay to replace our earth’s ever-renewing gifts tomorrow?

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

Canada has one of the world’s worst records for pollution and energy-effi -

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

Sincerely, Sue Vander Wey,

Denice Wilkins, John Wilson,Tweed

Challenged by climate change, let’s not idle

Dear Editor,Recently, I inquired

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

Hydro One chose not to reply.

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

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

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

H. Howarth,Tweed

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Almost 900 people including women, children and foreign-ers in the North Waziristan area of Pakistan have been killed in drone attacks in the past fi ve years. Add in the people killed in Af-ghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and almost as many people have been killed by drones in the past few years as died on September 11 in New York City. Every one of them was killed without a trial and most, especially those considered collateral damage, were just go-ing about their daily lives. All this devastation from a Nobel Peace Prize winner!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor:In years gone by Stu-

art McLean has delivered his inimitable storytelling via the Vinyl Café on the stages of Stirling’s Festival Theatre and the Empire Theatre in Belleville. It is a very entertaining show re-corded live for CBC Radio, giving Canadians across the country a few laughs at the locals’ expense, plus introducing some great Canadian musical talent. But too much of a good thing can become a bad thing. Unfortunately, here in 2013 I often fi nd my-self switching from CBC Radio 2 (103.9 FM) back to CBC Radio One (98.7 FM), or vice versa, at the sound of Stuart’s voice. His weekly show used to be a welcome guest join-ing us for a slow Sunday morning breakfast. Now his unique cadence seems to be there for breakfast, lunch and dinner most days of the week and then yet again if you happen to be driving home in the wee hours. For long-time CBC Radio listeners this is just one more sign of ongoing degrading moves which CBC staff have had to endure. Why?

Well, despite the Harp-er Tories promise during the last election that they would not cut CBC’s bud-

get they broke their prom-ise in last March’s Federal Budget and slashed CBC’s funding by 16 per cent. Once again Harper & Co. simply lied to us to get some votes. With no al-ternative way to deal with this reduced budget 800 of CBC’s dedicated staff were laid off. Of these numbers fully 650 were creative staff who brought us news, intellectual views and Canadian music which we can get nowhere else. CBC’s International news bureaus are being shut down while record-ing studios and transmit-ters are being shuttered across Canada. Many shows have been can-celled including fl agships such as Dispatches with host Rick MacInnes-Rae and Connect with Marc Kelly which kept Canadi-ans informed about world events. When the broad-cast hours needed to be fi lled, repeating programs like Stuart McLean’s was about the only answer program managers had available. None of this is ever talked about in the taxpayer-funded “Action Plan” propaganda Conser-vatives bombard us with on a daily basis.

Harper wants the CBC gone. If he follows his present trajectory he will

one day propose selling CBC to his buddies in the private sector. The sugges-tion of selling ads on CBC Radio is a fi rst step. Com-mercialization will destroy what CBC is supposed to be … a cultural connection for Canadians from coast to coast to coast. Harper has his own ideologically bent Sun Media station up and running under the guidance of his former mouthpiece, Kory Teney-cke. Listening to Ezra Le-vant spew his right wing propaganda from this ultra-conservative “Fox News North” gets tiring in a hurry. Ezra never fails to repeat the lie that CBC is costing taxpayers a pile of money. Millions of our tax dollars can be given to General Motors to create a few jobs bolting cars to-gether because engineers have yet to fi gure out how to robotize some part of the process while creative jobs at CBC are being dec-imated by Harper’s Con-servatives. It can easily be proven our tax dollars priming CBC’s cultural pump spin off new shows and jobs that create much more wealth than we in-vest.

Perhaps arch-Conserva-tive, the late Dalton Camp said it best: “Owning one national communications facility, such as the CBC, which owes nothing to Mitsubishi or General Dy-namics or Krupp, is surely worth keeping. What we know about the CBC, in a world in which econom-ics is power and so much power is out of our hands, is that the CBC would never willfully betray our national interest or sell off our Canadian heritage. And we are its sharehold-ers. When you hear people talk about reducing the role of the CBC, or selling off its assets, look closely at who is talking – it won’t be a voice speaking for the people of Canada, but for shareholders of another kind of corporation.”

If you agree with my analysis, and Dalton Camp’s, please google Friends of Canadian Broadcasting and join to-day. If our collective voice represents enough votes there may still be time to save the CBC. As it stands today, Harper is well on his way to killing it.

Sincerely, Alan Coxwell,

Stirling

By Kate EversonEMC Lifestyles - Trenton Members of the Quinte Branch of the Ontario Ge-nealogical Society learned

all about new ways to access their Family Tree at a meet-ing held at city hall coun-cil chambers on February 16. Rick Roberts, of Global

Genealogy is not just another hard word to spell

Rick and Sandra Roberts from Global Genealogy with local volunteer Robert Dawes. Photo: Kate Everson

Genealogy in Milton, was guest speaker at the month-ly meeting.

“There is an easier way to synchronize your tree in Family Tree Maker with an online Ancestry.com tree,” he explained.

“You may connect with others who have insight on your ancestors or even rare photos to share with you,” Roberts said. “You may even fi nd relatives you didn’t know you had.”

EMC Sports - Quinte West - After a highly suc-cessful fi gure skating season, ten-year-old Chloe Choinard is looking ahead to provincial competition in March.

Proud of her recent ac-complishments, Choinard competed at the Eastern On-tario Starskate Invitational Championships (EOSIC) held February 15-17 in Whit-by, Ontario, achieving a per-sonal best score and earning a bronze medal in the Ladies Juvenile Under 11 category.

Choinard landed three double jumps and skated a clean program to earn her third-place fi nish and the ac-complishment will see her travelling to Fort Erie at the end of March to compete at the Provincial level. Com-petition will feature the best amateur skaters from across the province.

“I am so excited to be go-ing to Provincials. I wasn’t really expecting it because it was my fi rst time competing at the Juvenile level,” says Choinard.

From a very young age Choinard demonstrated natural skating ability and coupled that with a passion for the sport, enabling her to surpass her goals this season. During the 2011-2012 skat-ing season she competed at the Pre-Preliminary and Pre-liminary level. In 2012-2013, she moved into the competi-tive ranks and competed at the Pre-Juvenile then Juve-nile level.

Skipping through four levels in two years paid off because in her fi rst Juve-nile event at the EOSIC, she earned the bronze medal, de-

scribed as an outstanding ac-complishment by her coach Lesley McGuire.

“Chloe has a light and ef-fortless feel for the ice. She has the lines of a ballerina and incredible focus. It’s a great combination that should help to take her far in this sport.”

Choinard trains ten hours a week at the Quinte Figure Skating Club with McGuire and has no regrets.

“I spend a lot of time at arenas,” says Choinard, “but I really, really love to skate.

“I am very proud of my-self and all that I have ac-complished this season,” says Choinard.

Choinard headed to provincials

“It’s in hard cover as well

as ebooks or on Amazon,” he said. “You can probably also get one at the library.”

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

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

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

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

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

Her services range from massage to CranioSacral

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

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

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

The CYBF Start-up Program requires that each

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

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

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

There were plenty of ways to indulge, guilt-free, as the auditorium and foyer were filled with

over 30 eager vendors of-fering brighter smiles, soft fragrances, sweet ideas and epicurean delights.

In the Music Room, Loyalist College had a spa and there were people with Curves, yoga and essences, while the foyer offered re-flexology and steeped tea,

bath salts and some off-the-hook designs.

Mini-manicures, make-up, waxing and scalp mas-sages were all available from local businesses.

Sheila from Rose Hips demonstrated how to ar-range cut flowers. There was fashion talk from

In an effort to provide children age birth to six

with the best possible head start on life, the Accessing

and Building Connections (ABC) Childhood Screening

Setting a foundation for later developmentand Information Fair is once again coming to Belleville on Saturday, February 23.

“The goal is to provide an opportunity for families who have children birth to six to access community ser-vice professionals who can help them kind of identify if there are any concerns,” said Donna Kaye, early literacy specialist for the Family Space/Ontario Early Years Centre. “To try an early in-tervention if needed for kids that are at risk of having struggles once they get into school.”

The free childhood and information fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Family Space/Ontar-io Early Years Centre, 301 MacDonald Avenue in Bel-leville, and will feature the services of roughly 12 to 14 healthcare professionals in a number of different fields, including speech, hearing, sight and overall develop-ment.

“We’re just trying to help people feel comfortable in talking to the professionals, getting some of the basic screenings out of the way so that if they do need refer-rals for further assessment there’s still time to do that before school gets started in September,” Kaye said.

The fairs are collaborative efforts of communities, with professionals in attendance offering their services in-kind. Promotional funding for the events is provided by the Hastings-Prince Edward Children and Youth Servic-

es Network, which is com-prised of agencies serving children, youth and families across the two counties.

“We’re really hoping that those people that have been kind of sitting on the fence, not sure if they should have a concern. Maybe some-body has said ‘You should get this looked at, [or] you should get this checked or you should talk to a profes-sional’ we’re really hoping those people will come in,” Kaye said. “A lot of people, they’re not sure what the process is, so they’re not sure who they should talk to, so that’s another thing, is that all of us who attend the fair as community profes-sionals all know how to link up people to other agencies who can support them, so if we can’t provide the service, we know how to make those linkages that are so neces-sary.”

The fair is open to all chil-dren from birth to six, and Kaye said the fair focuses on that age range for a very specific reason.

“The early years really are the foundation for later development. It’s when we’re laying the skills that are going to help children be successful later on,” Kaye said. “We don’t want people to have that ‘wait and see’ attitude anymore, we really are trying to shift the think-ing around earlier identifi-cation of kids who might be at risk.”

LIFESTYLES

By Kate EversonEMC News - Trenton - Farmers flocked to the Quinte Farm Trade Show at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Trenton on Valentine’s Day for the love of the farm.

“We are here to increase awareness of our programs and services,” said Karen Fis-cher with the Ontario Minis-try of Agriculture and Food. She was with one of several booths at the show with dis-plays of interest to farm-ers. Brittany Barkes from the Trenton/Brighton office shared the space.

Jim Hair of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture said his farm lobby group repre-sents 37,000 members includ-ing Hastings, Prince Edward, Lennox & Addington and Northumberland Counties.

“High grain prices are an issue this year,” he said. “With the drought and hay shortage, hay is expensive for hog and beef farmers. Feed prices are up.”

He added, “Generally, there is a fair amount of pros-perity.”

Tamara Tucker, environ-mental technician working out of the Lower Trent Con-servation office, had a booth for the Bay of Quinte Reme-dial Action Plan (RAP). She said funding is available to enhance property.

“New for 2013, we are cov-ering a larger area,” she said. “A lot of people are interested in these programs. We just started two weeks ago and

there have been a lot of phone calls and emails.”

Landowners are encour-aged to fence cattle out of streams. Bay of Quinte RAP funds up to 50 per cent of the project up to $7,500. Project fees may include alternative watering systems, fencing materials and permits.

Landowners who plant buffer zones between land and watercourses or wet-lands are eligible for up to 100 per cent of the project up to $1,000. Only native plants are funded and a plant list is provided by BQRAP. A buf-

fer zone of five to 30 metres is recommended. Watercourses that drain into the Bay of Quinte are eligible.

Habitat enhancement programs are also funded. Shoreline naturalization is funded up to 50 per cent up to $7,500 to create a more natu-ral shoreline such as remov-ing a retaining wall or other man-made structure.

Wildlife Pond Habitat Cre-ation is funded up to 50 per cent up to $2,500. To qualify for a pond creation project the committee must review the location to determine eli-

gibility.“The Bay of Quinte RAP

is rehabilitating the Bay of Quinte,” Tucker said. “It started in the eighties and has made tons of progress. We are working to de-list it as an area of concern.”

She said fish, nutrients and algae blooms are all indicators of the health of the bay.

“We hope to eventually de-list the bay completely,” she said. “There will still be ongoing monitoring and re-viewing of data.”

Another booth at the farm show gave information on applying through Trees On-tario for getting free trees for

planting on land of at least 2.5 acres. This government pro-gram is designed to plant 50 million trees by 2020 to help fight climate change and re-green the province.

This is Ontario’s pledge to the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign.

The Ministry of Natural Resources has partnered with Trees Ontario to plant trees on rural lands across southern Ontario. Landowners must sign a 15-year agreement to maintain the trees.

The farm show also had speakers including Peter Mo-ran from MPAC on property assessment, Bill Groot-Nib-belink of OMAFRA on dead stock disposal and Dr. Sam Leadley on dairy calf man-agement. There was a hot roast beef dinner with a small chocolate gift for Valentine’s Day.

“Here’s looking at you, kid!”

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

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

Agrium Inc. (TSX and NYSE: AGU) and Lower Trent Conservation (LTC) are proud to bring this in-ternational competition to Ontario.

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

“The creativity this con-test affords students is ben-efi cial for our environment and the communities we serve,” says Anne Ander-son, LTC Special Projects

Co-ordinator. “Anytime we can engage and involve our younger generation in envi-ronmental conversation ben-efi ts us all. They are actively seeking ways to make our communities sustainable for future generations and we are here to help them.”

The entry deadline for students living in the Low-er Trent watershed region and attending school in the Campbellford - Brigh-ton area is March 25, 2013. The top six fi nalists will be judged by the community and the winners will be an-nounced April 25, 2013.

Several years ago, Lower Trent Conservation was ap-proached by former Camp-bellford resident and Agri-um CEO Mike Wilson to co-ordinate an Ontario ver-sion of the competition. Af-ter launching the program in Campbellford in 2011, Brighton schools were ap-proached to participate in 2012 with the support of an Agrium Advanced Technol-ogies offi ce located in Brigh-ton. Wilson has personally donated the prize money for the competition.

Children need a good foundation

in the area for about the past five years, and Kaye said that they have seen a number of success stories stemming from the free screenings.

In Belleville last year, she estimated about 200 parents and children attended, and although it is marketed as a first-come first-serve basis, they were able to screen all the children who needed it.

“We also know that a lot of agencies have wait lists, so if somebody has already made a referral … coming to the fair will help allevi-ate some of that anxiety of waiting, because we can give

some concrete suggestions, strategies and answer ques-tions before the full assess-ment,” Kaye said.

“It really does make people feel like they’re go-ing in the right direction, they’re not just sitting idle but they’re actually being proactive.”

The Belleville fair is the second of six fairs being held in the area. Similar fairs will take place on March 23 in Picton, May 21 in Dese-ronto, June 6 in Madoc, and in Tyendinaga on October 5, following the first fair held in Quinte West on January 26.


By Steve JesselEMC News - Belleville The 12th annual Junior Iron Chef Competition has come to a close, and in a neck-and-neck race be-tween the two competing schools St. Peter’s Catholic Secondary School from Pe-terborough came out ahead of St. Theresa Catholic Sec-ondary School of Belleville to claim first prize.

“I was honoured to be involved in the judging,” said Loyalist grad Chef Levi Richards, a judge at the competition and the Ex-ecutive Chef at the Loyalist Golf and Country Club.

“The food was fantastic and very well done, espe-cially considering these are

high school students. The plates they produced today were equal to the quality I’ve tasted in high-end res-taurants. They really knew their menus and knew and respected their ingredients. It was a close race, and both teams are winners in my mind.”

The final leg of the com-petition came in concert with the fifth annual Food and Beverage Show on Feb-ruary 16 at Loyalist College, where the two teams pre-pared separate three-course meals using a pre-approved list of ingredients, including using pork supplied by On-tario Pork Producers for the entree and a combination of butternut squash, crem-

ini mushrooms, eggplant and leeks for their appe-tizer. The competition was organized by second-year Loyalist College Culinary Management students, and project manager Geoff Kirkland said the competi-tion provided an invaluable learning resource for par-ticipating students.

“When you’re at that age and you’re a high school student, it’s the closest you’ll ever get to the pres-sure cooker environment of working in a real high-in-tensity kitchen,” he said. “It really puts that pressure on the kids to step up and per-form, it’s a great experience for them and it really builds that base of character that

you can only get from—I hate to say it—from feel-ing like you’ve been kicked around a little bit, from be-ing under the gun, from being under pressure, from being forced to perform when you have everything on the line.”

Each year, Loyalist Col-lege puts out invitations to a number of high schools in the area to compete, however, the recent job action by Ontario second-ary school teachers meant a reduced field this year. Nonetheless, the compe-tition was just as fierce, and for St. Theresa team member Ashley Lumley the experience was overall a positive one.

“It went really good; I thought it was amazing,” she said. “It was stressful, it was nerve wracking, but it was good. We didn’t lose it, we just talked it out.”

Judges made their final decision based on a variety of factors, and not just on the overall taste, texture and presentation of the food. The judges also care-fully watched students to make sure they followed proper sanitation proce-dures and kitchen practices, which Kirkland said falls right into what they’re try-ing to teach the students.

“They really are judged on how they behave as a cook,” he said. “If they were a culinary student, or a cook

in restaurant they would be expected to behave the same way, so we’re trying to run it as much as any other cu-linary competition would ask you to behave.”

Alongside the Iron Chef Competition ran the Food and Beverage Show, where local businesses had the op-portunity to showcase some of their products. Anita Ramski of Pelee Island Winery was one of those businesses and said sup-porting the college was just as important as promoting their business.

“I’ve always been a big supporter of the college,” Ramski said. “It’s a great industry, I really want to try and get people into it.”

EMC Entertainment - The Belleville Public Library is proud once again to be one of three screening loca-tions for Belleville Down-town DocFest’s second In-ternational Documentary Film Festival. DocFest is fast approaching and runs Friday, March 1, to Sunday, March 3. Screenings will be at The Empire Theatre, the CORE Centre and on the library’s third fl oor, in the John M. Parrott Art Gallery. The festival will feature over 45 outstanding fi lms celebrat-ing life and human dignity around the world and right here at home, including at least seven locally produced

documentaries.The DocFest Opening

Gala at The Empire Theatre will be on Friday, March 1, at 7 p.m. and launches with the documentary, Searching for Sugar Man. This acclaimed fi lm about forgotten musi-cian Sixto Rodriguez recently received an Academy Award nomination. The story is of this singer-songwriter from Detroit whose tuneful pro-test music, unbeknownst to him, found cult status with the anti-apartheid move-ment in 1970s South Africa. Special guest, Toronto sing-er-songwriter Jason Collett will perform live following the fi lm. Collett is a former

DocFest 2013 - Screenings at the librarymember of Juno Award-win-ning indie rock band Broken Social Scene. He recently released his fi fth solo re-cording, Reckon, which was recorded during the Occupy Wall Street movement. The Globe and Mail referred to his songs as, “sharply writ-ten protest songs, not with-out sly doses of humour.”

Here’s a sampling of some inspiring fi lms that will ap-pear at the Library: on Friday, March 1, at 2 p.m. Refl ections: Art for an Oil-Free Coast (22 minutes), the story of 50 art-ists banded together to pro-test the Northern Gateway project and the threat they believe it represents to B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest. Fol-lowed by, All Me: The Life and Times of Winfred Rem-bert (78 minutes), this artist’s autobiographical paintings depict the day-to-day exis-tence of African Americans in the South.

On Saturday, March 2, at 10 a.m., the Library’s DocFest offerings will include a free family screening of Chim-panzee (78 minutes) rated G, the story of a three-year-old chimp separated from his troop and then adopted by a full-grown male. At 4 p.m. there will be two fi lms by lo-cal fi lmmaker Peter Lockyer: Celebrating Hockey History: The Story of the 1959 World Champion Belleville Mc-Farlands (28 minutes), and Making Waves: The Story of Canada’s Miss Supertest Team (21 minutes). A Q&A with Peter Lockyer will fol-low these fi lms.

Festival Passes and tickets for the Opening Gala are available through The Em-pire Theatre box offi ce, on-line at <theempiretheatre.com> or by phone at 613-969-0099. Tickets are also available at a number of out-lets in the Quinte area until February 26. Festival Passes are $35, unwaged/student - $15 and include the Open-ing Gala and admission to all fi lms. Opening Gala only tickets are $25. Full fi lm de-scriptions and schedules at <downtowndocfest.ca>.

Jamie Spurvey will dazzle Havelock againfull-length album Take it All last August after ses-sions at Iguana Studio in Toronto which was part of the Havelock Idol grand prize and he’s expanded his fan base with well-received shows across the country.

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

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

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

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

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

you just take notice,” she added. “He doesn’t want the

fl ash, he wants to be who he is and I think that’s what

makes him stand out.”The Newfoundland na-

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

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

By Steve JesselEMC Sports - Belleville The Belleville Bulls over-came a big deficit to claim a 7 - 5 victory over the visiting Sudbury Wolves on Saturday night, recording 27 shots and potting five goals in a wild second period. Captain Bren-dan Gaunce and defenceman Jordan Subban each recorded a hat trick, in a game where starting goaltender Malcolm Subban was pulled midway through the second period after allowing four goals on 16 shots.

“I didn’t think we were playing awful, but the goals we gave up were a little slop-py,” head coach George Bur-nett said. “It was good to see us get on a roll, and skate and work like we did.”

The Bulls, fresh off a slim 1 - 0 road win over the Mis-sissauga Steelheads the night before (February 15), entered the game against the Wolves just a point back of the East-ern Conference-leading Barrie Colts, but it was the Wolves who drew first blood. A weak slapshot from the left faceoff circle managed to sneak its way past M. Subban midway through the period, proving an ominous sign of things to come for one of the OHL’s top goalies.

The Bulls attempted to respond by laying some big hits and generating a few of-fensive opportunities of their own, but again it was the

Wolves who leaped at their next chance when Nathan Pancel was left alone at the side of the Belleville net to pounce on a rebound, giving Sudbury a 2 - 0 lead. Bulls forward Daniil Zharkov had a great chance to get a goal back on a beautiful back-door feed with time winding down in the first, but he put his shot well over the net and the Bulls headed to the dress-ing room down 2 - 0.

“I thought we were a little dopey in the first period; we got caught standing around a little bit,” Burnett said. “They’re hungry. Sudbury has been a very good team since Christmas, or just be-fore it.”

The Bulls amped up their physical presence in the opening minutes of the second period, laying mas-sive bone-shattering hits all across the ice. With the momentum swinging back into their favour, Belleville caught a bit of a break when J. Subban’s shot from the point looked to be tipped on the way to the net, eluding the Sudbury goaltender and giving the Bulls their first goal of the night at 2:43 of the second period.

As the frame went on, the Bulls were absolutely dominating puck posses-sion, recording a ridiculous ten shots in the first five minutes of the period while allowing zero shots from

Pair of big wins for BullsSudbury. That’s when an un-disciplined Bulls penalty al-lowed Sudbury their second powerplay of the game, and with a Mathew Campagna slapshot from the point the Wolves took a 3 - 1 lead. This didn’t seem to dissuade the Bulls all that much as they continued their furious as-sault on the Sudbury net, but they just couldn’t force one home despite dominating in possession and shots on goal. Of course, that’s when the Wolves decided to take their biggest lead of the night, and with a pretty piece of pass-ing took a sizable 4 - 1 lead midway through the second period, forcing Burnett to pull M. Subban in favour of backup Charlie Graham.

“The mood was a little sombre as you would expect it to be, but there’s still lots of hockey to go,” Burnett said of his team after falling behind 4 - 1.

For the Bulls, that’s when the floodgates opened. Less than a minute after Graham entered the game, Gaunce scored his 22nd goal of the season to narrow the lead to 4 - 2, and a few minutes later J. Subban made a great move to get to the front of the net and snap home his second of the game; 26 seconds later, Zharkov got into the act by scoring his 18th goal of the season, and after allowing three goals in less than five minutes Sudbury was forced

to take a timeout. It didn’t make much dif-

ference. Less than a minute after

Zharkov knotted the score at 4 - 4, Bulls forward Jo-seph Cramarossa was hauled down on his way to the net, but Gaunce was there for cleanup duty to give the Bulls their first lead of the game at 5 - 4 heading into the third period. The Bulls outshot the Wolves by an al-most unheard of margin, 27 - 4 in the second period.

It was always going to be tough to follow up a pe-riod like that, but for some Bulls fans the more sedate pace of the third period may have been exactly what they wanted. The Bulls clamped down on defence, allowing only six shots on goal and both J. Subban and Gaunce completed their hat tricks in the third period: Subban on a shot from the point and Gaunce with an empty net goal. Sudbury managed to

make the closing minutes interesting, but could not overcome their second pe-riod breakdown and lost by a final score of 7 - 5.

The Bulls win combined with a win and a loss by the Eastern Conference-leading Barrie Colts, left the Bulls a point back of the Colts for first place in the conference, setting the stage for a first-place showdown on Monday, February 18, at the Yardmen Arena in Belleville. Malcolm Subban made 29 saves, Jo-seph Cramarossa scored on a third-period penalty shot and the Bulls took sole pos-session of first place in the Eastern Conference with a 3 - 0 victory. Both teams went 0 for 5 on the powerplay in a game that was largely de-fined by each team’s defen-sive prowess.

The atmosphere inside the Yardmen Arena was electric to start the game with 3,664 in attendance, and the Bulls responded by controlling the

pace of play early on. Neither team had many opportuni-ties to score, but as the pe-riod drew to a close Belleville found themselves ahead in shots 10 - 7.

The second period was a back-and-forth affair with both teams finding time on the powerplay, but the Bulls were the team to break the deadlock. Tyler Graovac scored his team-leading 31st goal of the year on a rebound just over five minutes into the period, and M. Subban was a rock in goal making 12 saves and with a 1 - 0 lead the Bulls headed into the third period.

The final frame was fairly even, up until Cramarosa was hauled down on a breakaway with about eight minutes left. Choosing the deke over the shot, Cramarossa put the puck to his backhand and slid it just inside the post as the Yardmen Arena went wild. Gaunce put home an empty net goal to seal the win.

Horses help people become stronger emotionally

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“This is super exciting,” Lisa says.

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

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

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

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

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

More information is

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

International Polar Bear Day is coming soon

A local gourmet chef, Tina Moorey, will be doing a live cooking segment on CBC’s show Steven and Chris on February 28. Her specialty gourmet shop in Warkworth, On the Side, opened two years ago.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Civic Awards.Moorey now has a staff of

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

In fact catering a wedding

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

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

“It was the show’s producer

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

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

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

Moorey has been cooking since she was very young.

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

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

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

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

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

She was a skin and body

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

are,” she saysThe turbines emit a loud

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even pets suffered, she said.

“One horrible weekend when the vibration was very

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

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

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

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

“When you hear about the

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

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

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