EMC News - Belleville - Glanmore National Historic Site in Belleville is getting a little more organized with the help of the federal government. “History is irreplaceable, and history is undeniable, and when we have an opportunity to celebrate it we should do so,� said MP Daryl Kramp. “More importantly, if we have an opportunity to preserve it, it’s critical.� Kramp was on hand at Glanmore National Historic Site on Saturday, May 18, for the announcement that the site is due to receive over $17,000 in federal funding for the preservation and relocation of a huge number of historic artifacts from the Belleville region. Glanmore Education and Marketing Co-ordinator Melissa Wakeling said the site houses as many as 30,000 artefacts, and the funding will be used to help hire a collections storage technician who will determine permanent placement for artefacts, update records, and clean, stabilize and preserve the items to extend their lifespan. “It’s a real boost for us, because often times we’re just keeping our heads above water,� said Wakeling. “So to have extra funding so that we can then in turn hire somebody to achieve a special project means a lot

to the museum.� The artefacts, many of which belonged to the site’s original residents, were forced to be shifted around the museum after emergency structural repairs over the past several years. Although the items had formerly been catalogued, the emergency repairs and subsequent relocation of items meant the former records were no longer accurate, necessitating the current artefact storage project. “This ultimately will give the public greater access to our collection,� said Mark Fluhrer, Director Recreation, Culture & Community Services for the City of Belleville. The funding comes as part of the government’s Museums Assistance Program, which aims to provide funding to Canadian museums and related institutions for projects that foster excellence in museum activities and that facilitate access to the treasures of our collective heritage. “Our government is proud to support the preservation of the Glanmore Historic Site’s precious artefacts, which hark back to a unique time and place in our country’s cultural heritage,� said Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages James Moore in a release. “By investing in Please see “History� on page 3

EMC News - Quinte West - The commemorative stone that sits at the front of the former Sidney Township Municipal Office in Tuckers Corners may be moved to the Westminster United Church on Wallbridge-Loyalist Road. “We would assume full responsibility for the stone,” writes the Reverend Barbara Willard of Westminster Church. Westminster is willing to make its location and facility available to the community for any Remembrance Day services. The church has requested financial assistance from the city to move the stone and flagpoles. “In recent years the Remembrance Day service held at Sidney hall has not had the capacity to hold all the attendees to the service,” notes DonnaLee Craig, manager of Corporate Services. “Last year, Westminster hosted the service and then moved to Sidney hall for the laying of the wreaths. A number of the attendees did not continue to the hall.” Craig says Westminster has the capacity to host the service and wants to include the commemorative stone at its location a few kilometres south of Sidney hall, keeping it within the same community. It has an occupancy capacity for over 300 and a large parking area, and it is accessible.

“Westminster has the capacity and it would be open for all who want to attend.” Councillor Ron Hamilton donated the stone from his farm. Former reeves Jack Arthur and Tom Nobles donated one of the flagpoles and the Sunrise Rotary Club donated the plaque. The stone would be located in front of Westminster church. Craig notes the cost to move the stone is $300 and the estimated cost of moving the flagpoles is $800. A new flagpole is about $5,000. “The common message from public input is that the community wants the Remembrance Day service to continue,” Craig says. “Westminster has the capacity and it would be open for all who want to attend.” The Reverend Barbara Willard said there are many reasons why the church believes this to be a good move. Apart from visibility, the church has a long history of its presence in the community. It was formed in 1969 as an amalgamation of churches in the area. “We are committed to serving our community, including our people in the Armed Forces and our veterans,” Willard added.

Five Quinte area participants took part this year after claiming first prize during the Quinte and Regional Science Fair in April. The other four participants included Govind Pisharodi from Moira Secondary School, Aaron Morrison from Albert College, Brandan Ranjith from Albert College and Aysar

Younes from Albert College. “Our team, we call our team ‘Team Quinte,’ represented our region excellently, and professionally,� said Scott Berry, who accompanied the students to the fair. “We worked together as a team, we practiced as a team, and we competed as a team.� Decola’s silver-medal project revolved around the effect invasive Dressenid mussels have had on the water quality and food web structure in the Great Lakes during the 1990s. DeCola looked at mussels from two

different areas in the Bay of Quinte, finding distinct differences in nutrient content and algae at the different sites. As a result of winning second, DeCola was awarded a $300 excellence award and a $2,000 entrance scholarship to Western University. DeCola said she has a number of interests, including environmental sciences, astrophysics and possibly becoming a doctor after finishing high school. “I feel honoured to have the privilege [of winning a medal],� DeCola

said. “To know you’re one of the top young scientists in Canada is just a wonderful feeling ‌ it’s eye opening, and really for everyone who made it to the Canada-Wide Science Fair you’re already a winner, because they’re the top 471 young scientists in all of Canada. To be able to place among those brilliant people made me feel very honoured.â€? For more information on the Canada-Wide Science Fair, visit their web site at <www.cwsf.youthscience.ca>.

EMC Lifestyles - Belleville - It was a gorgeous day to be out on a motorcycle on Sunday, May 19, and better than 150 riders took advantage of the weather to join the Gleaners Food Bank ďŹ fth annual Ride for Hunger in Belleville. “It’s about raising awareness, and what brings a community together,â€? said Gleaners director of operation Susanne Quinlan.

“We just hope the bikers enjoy it.�

Starting at Market Square, the riders roared out at about noon and returned by 1:30 p.m. to a square ďŹ lled with rafes, barbeque, live music and a silent auction. Quinlan said the goal of the event was to raise at least $5,000, a number she was conďŹ dent they would achieve.

“We just hope the bikers enjoy it,â€? she said. Riders came from across the province, with some coming from as far as Mississauga for the annual event. That many bikes in one place drew more than a few interested observers as well, many there solely to check out the polished steel and slick paint jobs of participants’ motorcycles. “The ride was great, the weather held up,â€? said rider Oz Vigodda, of Belleville. “It’s a great event, really good for the area.â€? Riders paid $25 to take part in the event, with funds going directly to beneďŹ t Gleaners. With numbers up eight per cent at Gleaners this year and cost of food steadily rising, Quinlan said she was already looking forward to next year’s event, which may see relocation to Zwicks Island in the cards, although the May 24 weekend is still pegged to be the date. “It will build with itself,â€? said Quinlan.

EMC News - Belleville - Canada’s longestserving Speaker of the House of Commons, the Honourable Peter Milliken, came to Belleville on Wednesday, May 15, speaking to roughly 50 people at Capers Brasserie as part of the Prince Edward-Hastings Federal Liberal Association Bridge Forum. In a 30-minute presentation, Milliken detailed the busy and at times humorous lifestyle of a

Speaker of the House of Commons, from meeting foreign heads of state to the at times invisible inner politics of the House of Commons. Milliken ďŹ rst began as Speaker in 2001 before retiring in 2011, representing the riding of Kingston and the Islands. Milliken’s term as Speaker is noted for containing ďŹ ve of the ten tied House of Commons votes since Confederation, with his votes at times shaping the future of the entire country.

EMC Lifestyles - Belleville - This May marks Canada’s eleventh anniversary of Asian Heritage Month, when we recognize and reflect on the valuable contributions of Canadians of Asian descent in the development of Canadian history, identity and society. The Belleville Public Library is a great place to explore some of these significant contributions! As most “Bellevillians� are aware, we have a connection to the sister cities of Gunpo, South Korea, and Zhucheng, China. The library meanwhile has a collection of both Korean and Chinese fiction and non-fiction. More than this, however, we have many books that celebrate Canadians of Asian descent, offering a variety of subjects and interests. In our fiction collection some outstanding titles include Vincent Lam’s Giller Prize winning book Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures. Lam is a Canadian author of Vietnamese

in the form of a memoir, and we have several wonderful options to choose from. Past GovernorGeneral Adrienne Clarkson gave us a glimpse of her family’s struggles and move from Hong Kong to Ottawa in her book, Heart Matters: A Memoir. Kamal Al-Solaylee shares his story of growing up as a gay man in Yemen in his book Intolerable: a Memoir of Extremes. He tells how he eventually came to Canada to become a prominent journalist and academic. Chinese Canadians: Voices from a Community offers a collection of 20 interviews with prominent Chinese-Canadians, as well as several essays on the subject of the Chinese-Canadian population:

their history and their quest for equality. Toyo Takata’s, Nikkei Legacy: The Story of Japanese Canadians from Settlement to Today offers us a wonderfully illustrated history, with a different take on the concept of Canadian “Pioneering.� Perhaps celebrating Asian Heritage Month will simply give you an excuse to enjoy some of our wonderful Asian Cookbooks.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Complaints about Hydro outages unwarranted

Dear Editor, It seems there is at least one person in the area who is still not pleased with Hydro’s efforts to restore power during the ice storm. He claims that “facts are facts� but there is nothing correct in his so-called facts about the outage. We do not live in a Utopia where every town, village, and hamlet has a fully equipped hospital, fire department, police station, and Hydro repair facility. The province is equipped to deal with the routine power outages that take place from time to time, but when disaster strikes, it takes time to deal with such extensive

problems. Anything on a larger scale would make electrical energy unaffordable to all of us. We have relatives in western Ontario, and in some of those areas, Hydro workers were as hard pressed as here when it came to outages. Hydro does its best to get help to where it’s needed, but with roads coated with ice and/ or blocked by downed trees, this all takes time. And it takes time to bring in crews from across the border. Arrangements must be made, and the assisting utility must ensure that all its needs and emergencies are taken care of before dispatching crews to

Ontario. The extent of the outage overwhelmed the Hydro emergency phone system with tens of thousands of calls from across the province. Again, we are dealing with a system that functions as expected about 99 per cent of the time. I’ve used it on a number of occasions and always found it most satisfactory. The remarks about crews not working 24 hours a day is beyond ridiculous. They are allowed a maximum of 16 straight hours before getting eight hours rest, and they would be lucky if that gives them five hours sleep what

thing that is at risk. Perhaps the complainers who want this utopian Hydro system might wish to pay double on their Hydro bills to make this happen. As to the rural customers being last in line for restoration, that’s the way the grid system works. Sometimes this is called doing things for the greater good. The grid supplies power to major centres like Belleville via its 230,000-volt supply lines, steps down the supply to 44,000 volts for distribution in and around the city, and then out to the rural distribution stations where the voltage is dropped to 4,000 volts. If

repairs are made first in the rural areas, they won’t have power until the repairs closer to the source (Belleville T.S.) have been completed. Meanwhile, thousands of people in Belleville would remain in the dark, and perhaps the hospital might be depending on emergency generators. The work is done logically by starting where the population density is greatest (and is the power source), then proceeds outward from there to the least populated areas.

Global governance is sorely lacking

Dear Editor, The Bangladesh tragedy is a symptom of the ongoing corporate push for greater profits. It is not an isolated incident and it is a global problem.

Does this phrase mean the toxic waste pond was constructed next to the river, with a tap or sluice gate built in, with an employee accidentally ordered to open it? Where is Natural Resources Canada in this picture? Apparently our protector of the environment is busy spending $16.5 million in advertising, (up from $9 million last year) mostly promoting lies to Americans about how we really are looking after nature, in order to get rid of Alberta bitumen as quickly as possible with more pipelines. The ads claim that emissions have dropped by 26 per cent from 1990-2011

when in fact they have increased by 300 per cent. (Emissions per barrel have decreased by 26 per cent, but totals have increased dramatically.) The ads claim we have also “strengthened our environmental protection,â€? when in fact the omnibus bill “guttedâ€? it. Still this Conservative BS is what we have come to expect, and so it passes here almost unnoticed. As one government minister claimed on radio this week another $25 million for Action Canada ads or $20 million are “just tiny amounts in the overall budgetâ€? not worth worrying about. Canada has done away with the penny, how long before the dollar bill is too small to bother with. Paul Whittaker, Gilmour

Dear Editor, This is my letter to my Conservative MP, Daryl Kramp. Congratulations on showing some backbone recently by standing up to Mr. Harper’s ongoing smear campaigns. It took guts to stand up to a power tripping tinpot like Stephen, and you showed some guts for a change. So far I’m not especially a fan of Justin Trudeau, but Big Steve’s bully campaign was just too much, too soon—and you recognized the unfairness of this slandering and maligning. “Big Steve� is about to fall, and fall hard! You were politically astute in realizing this before most other Conservatives, and your own political credibility has benefited from your independent stance. I am also writing about another matter which has the general Canadian population

(and electorate) upset, and I hope you will also object to the proposal to undermine the CBC’s editorial independence contained in Budget Implementation Bill C-60. No public broadcaster anywhere in the free world faces the degree of political interference that is proposed for the CBC in Bill C-60. This Bill would give the government the opportunity to turn the CBC into a political propaganda machine rather than a public broadcaster. For the sake of our country and our democracy I urge you to work to have provisions concerning the CBC removed from Bill C-60. Again, congratulations on being one of the first Conservative MPs to stand up to Mr. Harper’s bullyragging. The way forward is clear to a high percentage of Canadian voters; it’s time to throw Big Steve under the bus, as he’s

Lessons not learned Dear Editor, History teaches us that a characteristic weakness of the human race is the welldemonstrated inability or blatant refusal to learn from the lessons of history. Many of the ramifications of the senate scandal have surfaced in the media and I have no doubt that others will come to light in the near future. A case in point has to do with the allegations of malfeasance that have been recorded against Senator Mike Duffy and others who have been involved including Mr. Nigel Wright who recently resigned his position as Chief of Staff to Mr. Stephen Harper.

I am of the opinion that a significant number of your readers may recall the following excerpt from the works of Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) quote: “Oh What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.� Sad to say it appears that those words of wisdom were not learned or were not understood by those who are involved or who are yet to be identified as participants in the scandal. We have seen what can best be defined as the tip of the iceberg; stay tuned! Smooth sailing, P.H. (Phil) Etter, Belleville

An older and wiser Nawaz Sharif?

EMC Editorial - The first time Nawaz Sharif became prime minister of Pakistan was almost a quarter-century ago. His second term was ended fourteen years ago by a miliGwynne Dyer tary coup that drove him into exile. Now he’s back, a good deal older, but is he any wiser? Pakistanis seem to think so—or at least Punjabis do. Almost all of the seats won by his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Party in last Saturday’s election were in the province of Punjab, which has more people than all of Pakistan’s other provinces combined. That weakens the legitimacy of his victory, but with the support of some candidates who won as independents he will have no trouble in forming a majority government. The question is: what will that government do? It’s a good question, because Pakistan is a nuclear-armed country of 160 million people that has borders with India, Afghanistan and Iran. It is also, in the view of some observers, fairly close to being a “failed state.” Everybody knows that Nawaz Sharif is conservative, pro-business, and devout— during his second term, he tried to pass a constitutional amendment that would have enabled him to enforce Sharia law—but he hasn’t been tremendously forthcoming

about his actual plans for his third term. And some of the things he did say have caused concern in various quarters. The thing that most worries the United States is his declaration that Pakistan should end its involvement in the U.S.led “war on terror.” The army is unhappy about his proposal that the government should negotiate with the Pakistani Taliban (who conducted a campaign of bombings, assassinations and kidnappings against the “secular” political parties in the recent election) rather than just fighting them. And everybody is wondering what Nawaz will do about the economy. The country’s balance of payments is in ruins, and it cannot meet its foreign debt obligations without negotiating new loans from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Those loans would come with onerous conditions about balancing the budget and fixing the tax system, and they wouldn’t come at all without American support. Pakistan is technically a middle-income country, but during the outgoing government’s five years in office power shortages grew so acute that most regions are facing power outages for up to 12 hours a day. Millions of vehicles fuelled by natural gas have been immobilised by gas shortages. The country desperately needs foreign investment, but the plague of Islamist terrorism frightens investors away. Finally, the United States will be withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan next year, and Nawaz Sharif will have to decide what he wants to do about the Taliban in that country (who still have the tacit support of Pakistan’s army). The key to all these puzzles, oddly enough, may lie in

the incoming prime minister’s determination to improve relations with India. In each of his previous terms, he tried very hard to make peace with India, but was thwarted both times by the Pakistani army. The current military chief of staff, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, is due to retire at the end of this year (after a threeyear extension in office), and this will give Nawaz a chance to replace him with someone less committed to perpetual confrontation with India. Then many things would become possible. An end to the military confrontation would open the door to large-scale Indian investment in Pakistan (including pipelines bringing oil and gas from Iran and central Asia). It would let Pakistan cut the military budget down to size. And it would end the army’s tacit support for the Taliban in Afghanistan, which is all about ensuring that Pakistan has a friendly government in Kabul to give it “strategic depth” in its long cold war with India. The Taliban will inevitably be part of any post-occupation government in Afghanistan, but without Pakistani support they will have to strike a deal with other forces rather than just taking over. That outcome would greatly mollify Washington and make it easier for Islamabad to get new loans from the World Bank and the IMF. It would also make it easier for the government to negotiate some kind of domestic peace settlement with the Pakistani Taliban. Then, maybe, Nawaz could finally get the Pakistani economy back on track. It’s a long string of ifs, but nobody else on the Pakistani political scene seems to have a better plan.

the money! The president and CEO makes $1,720,000; Laura Formusa, (President and chief executive officer), makes $1,036,740; the Senior V/P of People, Culture and Chief Ethics Officer makes $467,208; a Senior Training Officer makes $364,571; and the Deputy Chief Nuclear Operating Strategic Initiative guy makes $547,088. How about an Executive V/P Nuclear Projects at $843,095. Oh man, now I understand: they REALLY REALLY need the money! Did you know that an “Authorized Nuclear Operator” can make up to $333,540? I would think that an UNauthorized Nuclear Operator, like Homer Simpson for instance, might not even make the Sunshine List. So Myles, my son, what’s it like to make $40,000 each and every month? Oh wait, there’s hefty income tax involved. So listen big guy, what’s a fella do with $25,000 plunked into his bank account each and every month until he takes his

defined benefit pension plan and hikes ’er into the clouds of blissful retirement? I asked my wife what we would do with $25 grand and she said that first of all, the tops and bottoms of our pyjamas would finally match! This isn’t the end you know. When an organization is this desperate for money, when a person whose title is “Vice President Total Rewards” makes $261,912, when a Senior Vice President makes $544,589, when a control room shift supervisor makes $292,900, whoo man ’der gotta be some serious coin raised! So be prepared for the next epistle from Mr. D’Arcey. Right around the corner is PREPAID HYDRO. You know, we’ll start her gently ’eh. Let you pay the future six months hydro up front in six easy payments. You’ll never miss ’er once she’s gone—and, after all, Myles may need new jammies. Wyley Canuck, aka Ken Leavens, Stirling

An interpretation of Hydro One’s new billing

250 Sidney St., Belleville, ON K8P 5L6 Phone: 613-966-2034 Fax: 613-966-8747

By Terry Bush EMC Editorial - It’s been quite a week for Prime Minister Stephen Harper. There he was in New York on Thursday scolding the world for its dwindling support of Israel, a peculiar stance to take in a week where that country decided that four settler outposts in the West Bank ordered demolished, would be granted settlement status. UN resolutions be damned; peace negotiations be damned; Netanyahu’s coalition government needs the settler vote to survive. Hook up the hydro and bring in the IDF. “There’s nothing more shortsighted in Western capitals in our time than the softening of support we’ve seen for Israel around the globe,” Harper was quoted in the Times of Israel, calling the country “the one stable, democratic ally in this part of the world.” Bibi Netanyahu feels the love. After all, he did recently spend $127,000 of Israeli taxpayers’ money to outfit a jet with a sleeping chamber for a five-hour flight to Britain for Margaret Thatcher’s funeral. (Total flight cost was $427,000.) His excuse? He had to be fresh when he met with the PM of Great Britain and our Prime Minister Harper. Meanwhile Israel’s almost 90-yearold president Shimon Perez recently took a flight paid for by taxpayers, an 11-hour flight to South Korea sitting in business class. No $427,000 private flights for Shimon, thank you very much. Israel’s recent violations of Lebanese airspace to bomb targets in Syria may have also ruffled a few feathers around the globe. Some might call this bombardment aiding the Syrian rebels considering government armaments were targeted. Israel says it’s keeping arms away from Hezbollah. Whatever the reason, Israel has once again attacked a sovereign country and the west was strangely silent. The 48 soldiers killed in the attack were barely mentioned in news reports. Netanyahu has said they’ll do it again whenever they think it’s necessary and if Syria responds to this act of war, Israel will really get down to business and kick the Assad regime to the curb. Israel has the right to defend its borders, other nations do not, it seems. Maybe that’s why some governments, much to Harper’s chagrin, aren’t quite so enamoured with State of Israel these days. They really don’t want to be drawn into yet another unnecessary war. But the home front is where Harper really shines. After his proclamation on Thursday, the Prime Minister didn’t really have much to say about the alleged

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, Did you get your letter telling you about “important changes to your Hydro One Account?” Did you read it? Did you understand that Ontario Hydro REALLY REALLY needs the money? They never once said: “You rotten buggers have been taking advantage of us,” instead they said, “We will let you pay off the old 18 day delay in billing you for Hydro, [which we never thought of before but now are delighted to bill], over the next six months easy payment plan.” The lad who sent you the letter, Mr. Myles D’Arcey, made $484,356.78 in 2012. He needs the money. So do the other 10,800 folks at Hydro who made over $100,000 in 2012. I counted them all, but I might be out by three or four because my eyes were wet with tears of envy or anger, whichever comes first. A conservative average of say $135,000 times 10,800 of the sunshine-enhanced hydro folk translates to one billion, four hundred and fifty-eight million smackeroos. That’s why they need

double dipper and party fund raiser Mike Duffy quitting the Conservative caucus to sit as an independent. When Friday rolled around, another hand-picked Harper senate appointee, Pamela Wallin, also announced that she too was quitting the Conservative caucus while her expenses were being audited. Back in February, Harper had personally vouched for Wallin’s expenses saying they were in line with other politicians. And then on Sunday morning, Harper’s right hand man, Chief of Staff Nigel Wright, announced his resignation as well. Mr. Wright (a Bay Street millionaire) had seen fit to write a personal cheque for 90 grand to pay back Mr. Duffy’s over and above expenses but the Prime Minister didn’t know of course. This in itself might cause one to wonder why Harper wouldn’t know what his chief of staff was doing. One would also wonder why Mike Duffy stopped co-operating with investigators after he paid off his expenses. Did he think he was home free for some reason? Did he think other Conservative senators had his back? If they did they quickly changed their minds and proceeded to duck and cover. Prime Minister Harper hasn’t really said boo about this whole sordid affair other than to back his political appointees. One would hope a politician who promised honest and transparent government would at least give an explanation for the goings on in our nation’s capital. Wasn’t senate reform on Harper’s “to do list” way back when. The sad fact of the matter is both Wallin and Duffy are still being paid to sit in the Senate and we’re footing the bill. Under the same circumstances, do you think your employer would even allow you to walk through the door? The case may be made that the Americans have it right in limiting a president (read prime minister) to two terms in office. Corruption always seems to rise to the top when prime ministers achieve that third mandate be they Liberal or Conservative. And from all appearances, a senate seat seems to be regarded not as giving provincial representation and sober second thought but as a way to have a hell of a good time on the taxpayers’ dime. Too bad this is all going down two years before the next election. Voters have short memories at times. Hopefully they realize corruption isn’t limited to a single party. But these recent revelations do make those Trudeau attack ads sound really silly, don’t they.

3. “I don’t go to the dentist because I am scared to death”. Dentistry is not like what it is used to be. There are so many newer types of numbing agents that can help minimize anxiety and discomfort. Things like Nitrous Oxide, so called laughing gas, and other medications can be used to help patients feel at ease during appointments. This is known as sedation dentistry. Lasers and air abrasion technology can even reduce the need for needles and drills for certain cavities.

As dentists, we see many different types of patients in our day-to-day practice. Many of these patients are well aware of the importance of oral health as part of an overall healthy lifestyle. However, occasionally we encounter some patients who avoid going to see their dentist for many different But again, the more regularly reasons.

that are used to correct problems resulting from oral diseases. For example, the cost for 10 – 20 preventive cleanings and check-ups is similar to the cost of fixing only one tooth with a toothache. People who spend the least amount of money in a dental office tend to be those who see their dentist regularly. This is why most insurance companies pay 80 – 100 percent of preventive treatments; they realize that in the long run, less money will be spent if people see their dentist

EMC News - Belleville - Canadian youth and entrepreneurship were the focus of a joint May 14 celebration event by the Trenval Business Development Corporation and the Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF), as the two organizations lauded the huge strides made in the Quinte region as part of the CYBF loan program for youth ages 18 to 39. “We all know that youth unemployment is higher than in other parts of the demographic, but we also know that older guys like me aren’t going to be in the workforce that much longer,” said past Trenval executive director Bruce Davis. Youth need to be engaged, they need to stay here and not go off somewhere else … we need youth here to create jobs for themselves, for their families, and to create jobs for others.” Since 2010, Trenval has operated as the community partner for the CYBF in the Quinte area, administering funds from the CYBF loan program. The foundation provides up to $15,000 in startup loans with low interest to prospective entrepreneurs, and since 2010 the partnership with Trenval has helped produce 26 new entrepreneurs in the region, employing some 70 people. The loans aren’t given to just anyone; Davis said potential applicants are subjected to a round-table interview not unlike to popular Dragon’s Den TV series. Former Trenval executive director Bruce Davis was one of a number of speakers at a celebration event “We’re looking for people who have a good solid busiMay 14. Photo: Steve Jessel ness plan, a person who has a good idea of what it takes to be an entrepreneur,” he said. “It’s a 24/7/365 venture.” Also on hand for the celebration event was CYBF Ontario Senior Director Scott Bowman. Bowman was highly complimentary of the partnership with Trenval, noting that the organization had been awarded CYBF community partner of the year in 2012, and said he was proud to be able to take part in the celebration of youth entrepreneurship. “At the end of the day we want to see local communities thrive, we don’t just want to see local moving to Toronto or Ottawa or Montreal … we want to see them stay right here at home,” he said. “For us, we want to encourage young people to see that entrepreneurship is a viable career option.” Of the 26 new businesses supported, more than 50 per cent were service oriented, with the rest being split between agriculture, construction, retail, health and wellness, technology services, entertainment, and beauty technologies. “We love the results that are coming out of Belleville and Quinte,” Bowman said. “There’s going to be a big push over the next ten years, we have about forty per cent of business owners across the province wanting to retire … we’re going to rely on young people to take over those businesses, to keep the local economy growing and thriving.” One of the businesses supported by a CYBF loan was set up by Emma Pot, who started Be Prepared, a Canadian Red Cross first aid training company.

Friends of Presqu’ile celebrate 25 years EMC News - Brighton - The Friends of Presqu’ile are celebrating a milestone anniversary this year, 25 years in support of the local provincial park. The Friends of Presqu’ile is one of 26 similar organizations throughout the province. According to Ontario Parks, a branch of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Friends groups “are community based, not-for-profit, charitable co-operating organizations, which work to enhance the interpretive, educational and recreational objectives of the park. Their activities may include sponsoring of special events, developing and retailing educational products and appropriate souvenir items to park visitors, fund raising, and supporting research projects.� For Liz Chatten, one of the founding members of the Friends of Presqu’ile, it was an easy choice. She got involved after seeing a story in the local newspaper. Park staff were interested in getting an organization going and were asking for volunteers to get it up and running. “I think I know every inch of the park,� she said in an interview last week. “I used it a lot and loved it. I took my children and grandchildren there every chance I got. I still do, it’s a special place.� The new committee started out as a local group of seven, including thenpark superintendent Brian Peck. “I don’t suppose, when we started out, we thought it would be ever become what it is today,� said Chatten, who recalls the first meeting,

which featured a guest speaker from the Friends organization at Algonquin Park. “He said, ‘What will you get out of this? You’ll get this warm, fuzzy feeling.’ But we all loved the park and we wanted to help out in any way we could. And, obviously, it’s turned out quite well. I can’t believe it’s been 25 years.� From the original seven, the Friends roster now includes 339 family members and 40 life members as well as a list of more than 100 volunteers. Another founding member, Nick Quickert, says there were a lot of growing pains on both sides—park management and the Friends volunteers. “I have quite a soft spot for Presqu’ile and realize the gem that’s there,� he said. “Park management was learning from us and what we thought was important. Presqu’ile is a natural heritage park; for a lot of people nature and being able to walk through the park is very important.� “Now, there is a certain maturity,� he added. “And I can see only good things down the road. They seem to be doing a lot of good things.� The founding members have high praise for the first-ever chairperson of the group, the late John Cole. “He loved the park so much and he loved nature,� said Quickert. “He was there every day; making sure things were working. Without him, I’m not sure it would have worked. “His effort and love for the park was very inspiring and he inspired us in way that there was no way you could let John down. I can’t say enough for his contribution.�

“He really was the driving force that kept the Friends going,� added Joanne Dewey. “I felt he was doing 99 per cent of the work.� While not on the founding team, she came on board soon afterward when she was hired as an assistant park naturalist. Dewey recalls when she took on the reins as editor of the quarterly Friends newsletter, “The Beacon,� and how she had to learn how to operate more than a few computer programs to produce a few dozen copies. These days, it’s still done on a computer, but it’s

sent out more often to more than 300 email addresses. The 25th annual general meeting starts at 1 p.m. on June 8 at the park amphitheatre, followed by a barbeque celebration for their membership, including some of the founding committee.

Health Unit checks beaches as season begins

EMC News - Hastings/ Prince Edward - Beachgoers will be able to tell easily if bathing waters at certain beaches are safe for swimming this season. Signs will be posted at all beaches monitored by the Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Health Unit. The 2013 Beach Monitoring Program officially began on Monday, May 13. To find out if your favourite beach is safe for swimming call the Health Unit’s Beaches Info-Line 613-966-5513 ext. 652 or visit the Beach Reports section on the Health Unit Web site at <www.yourhealthunit. ca>. There are currently no posted beaches. “Health Unit staff collect a minimum of five water samples from each beach scheduled for monitoring that week,” says Chelisa Karran, pub-

Bridge expansion joints need replacement widening, and a Front Street revitalization from Elgin to Dixon Street. It was noted that parking meter fees in the Front Street parking lot will be voided during construction in that area. Parking problems along Front Street are still an issue, but Chris Angelo noted that the old city hall parking garage is opening soon. Jim Harrison commented, “They are doing a super job.”

EMC News - Frankford - The existing expansion joints on the Frankford bridge have to be replaced. “The joints should be replaced before any watermain repairs,” manager of engineering Tim Colasante told the Public Works committee. Staff are currently working with Jewell Engineering to develop a plan for the repairs to the suspended watermain under both the canal and river bridges. Baltimore Development Services out of Cobourg will do the work. Over the past 20 years the company has worked with the city (formerly the town of Trenton) on many projects including past repairs to the bridge. Total cost of the project is $60,000 including $30,000 for expansion joint installation and $30,000 for miscellaneous repairs. “The city can complete the necessary repairs and still retain $40,000 for the repaving of North Front Street and Mill Street intersection,” Colasante said. Jim Turner also reported to the committee that the cleanup from the April 12 ice storm will cost about $70,000. Triland Environmental had the tub grinder at the Frankford landfill site on May 21 to grind the large amount of wood debris. Mayor John Williams commented that a lot of people were bringing out debris for Public Works to take away that was not from the ice storm. “Unfortunately, people were bringing out their two by fours too,” he said. Chris Angelo commented that a settlement for the expropriation of land near the Frankford landfill site has been negotiated with the owners. Angelo said they were offered a fair price and it is up to them if they want to take it to an OMB hearing. Capital works projects in progress in Trenton Ward include the Dundas Street East revitalization from Ontario to Marmora Streets including a road

TMH Foundation appreciates donors By Kate Everson

EMC News - Trenton - The local hospital appreciates its donors. “Your donations are desperately needed for medical equipment,� said Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director Wendy Warner at the donor appreciation day at the hospital on May 16. Refreshments were offered and musical entertainment provided for the guests in the day surgery waiting room. The names of donors from the past year were read out by June Brace and Jennifer Rainbird and the Donor Walls were unveiled to showcase the updated information. Michael and Helen Bilous came to the front and signed a cheque for $1,000 and Jan Barnett for $1,500. Warner thanked all the contributors and said they helped the hospital with 35,000 people in the emergency department that year as well as over 4,000 in surgery and 7,000 with minor procedures and over 800 in eye surgery.

There will be changes but it will not change our vision.� A slide show by Dr. Dick Zoutman said the Point of Care lab testing at TMH will result in significant cost savings and will be more accurate. He noted that the system has been used in Picton for many years and a similar system was even used by NASA in its space program. “Is it accurate?� he asked. “Yes, of course!�

Point of Care lab will be more efficient than the previous system. Emergency care will still be sent to TMH except for those who need a higher quality of care, such as a fractured hip, available at Belleville General Hospital. Egberts said the CCAC has increased its services and have added a visit from a nurse after a patient is discharged from a hospital (if needed) within 24 hours, and a visit from a physician within seven days if needed. Nurses in a long-term-care home will try to deal with any issue regarding a patient wishing to be transferred to a hospital. Egberts said QHC is consulting with doctors for solutions.

Quinte Health Care CEO Mary Clare Egberts gave an update on the status of Trenton Memorial Hospital and there was a quick slide show from Chief of Staff Dr. Dick Zoutman on Point of Care labs. “TMH is here to stay,� Egberts reaffirmed. “It is alive and well.� She said hospitals are currently undergoing the largest change in the past 20 years and Quinte Health Care has seen a drastic cut in its budget. “Despite our having a very elderly population and chronic disease, that did not offset the lack of growing population,� she said. “We are getting a zero increase in funding over the next five years. There are going to be a lot of changes and our expectations of hospitals will have to change too. We will have to treat more people out there.� She said Quinte Health Care expenses are higher than its revenue and there will be significant reductions in 2013 and 2014. The impact on TMH will be five fewer beds, and they will have to work with Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) and the hospices to make sure these patients are cared for outside of the hospital. She added that physiotherapy will be for inpatients only, not outpatients. The

Poverty challenge opens students’ eyes By Steve Jessel

EMC News - Belleville - The challenges faced by those living in poverty were at the forefront of a recent day-long workshop in Belleville, where 60 students from Belleville, Trenton and Kingston learned what it can be like to try to survive in a tough situation. “The goal of the event is to have these students learn a little bit of the reality of what is it to live in poverty in this area,� said Anne Boniferro, Co-ordinator of Religious & Family Life Education for the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic School Board. “It’s for high school students to have an experience of what it might be like to live in poverty, so that they might change some misconceptions they might have about poverty, and be inspired to work to support their neighbours.� Put together by the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board (ALCDSB) with support from a number of community organizations, the event followed a unique format that aimed to shed light on the day-to-day struggles of those living in poverty. First, each of the participating students was given a character profile detailing specific circumstances of what the students thought was an imaginary character. Throughout the day, the students then had to approach a number of community organizations, such as food banks or employment services in an attempt

to get their fictional lives back on track. What the students didn’t know was that their character profiles were based on the real life experiences of someone who has lived in poverty, who then spoke to the students later in the day. “So far, to walk around and listen to them, they’re all asking the right questions,� said ALCDSB trustee John Brisbois. “Why is this happening? We’re a wealthy society; why do we have poverty?� Grade 11 Nicholson Catholic College student Brittani McCormack said she visited some nine different organizations in a short period of time looking for help for her character, “Madeline.� Madeline was a 16-year-old high school dropout who was kicked out of an abusive situation at home, and was forced to sleep in friends’ basements. Madeline also struggled with depression and ADHD, forcing McCormack to go to a number of organizations just to learn about how to cope with the characters conditions. “It’s been tough, but it’s also been really helpful,� McCormack said of the experience. “It’s opened my eyes quite a bit. It makes me understand and realize what these people are going through and how they feel on a day-today basis, when I only have to feel it for maybe a six-hour period.� At the end of the day, Brisbois conceded that it would be hard to gauge the overall success of the event based on

numbers alone. Instead, he said that the event had an eye to the long term, and having an impact on students as they move forward with their own lives.

“It’s more adjusting attitude, and you’re looking at where they’re going after this,� he said. “This is a societal issue; poverty is a challenge for all of us.�

Lions want community groups involved in run

Readying for the second annual Stirling Lions Legacy Run/Walk, organizers Glenn Payne and Lin Clarke get a little encouragement from Shirley Anne Ord, owner and operator of SAO Fitness. Runners are being encouraged to register for the June 9 fund raiser that starts at 9 a.m. sharp at the Stirling arena.

Canada Post says closure temporary EMC News - Spring Brook - The Spring Brook Post Office is closing at the end of the month and deliveries normally made to the building will be provided at a neighbourhood post box, says outgoing Postmaster Mariel Rollins. Rollins, who had planned to retire as of June 1, says she was first informed of the decision made by Canada Post officials to close the outlet just before the long weekend. Rollins has spent 41 years with Canada Post and is a third-generation postmaster whose family held the position for nearly a century. “I’m going to miss it,� she says.

On Tuesday, Canada Post Media Relations representative Joelle Hamilton confirmed in an email that the post office in the centre of the hamlet “will be temporarily closed due to the retirement of the current postmaster at the end of the month. “In the next few days, customers will receive a letter as well as keys and locks to group mailboxes where they will temporarily pick up their mail until a new postmaster is hired.� Hamilton says the recruitment process is expected to begin shortly with the hope of filling the position “as quickly as possible.�

of ways to get involved in the June 9 event alone or with a group. Courses will be laid out for both fiveand ten-kilometre distances, with several categories for runners of all abilities from 12 and under to over 70, as well as a one-kilometre circuit within the fairgrounds for families and young children. “We want the whole community to show up,� says Clarke, noting the Youth Action Centre has already jumped onboard and “we would love to see� more representation from schools, sports associations and other service clubs in the area. All registrations collected for the one-kilometre run/walk, of “a loonie or a twonie,� will be donated to the Community Cupboard Food Bank, Payne notes, while proceeds from other

runner registrations will go toward various Lions community projects. “We’ve had really great sponsorship support,� says Payne of the response to plans for the second annual Stirling Lions Legacy Run/Walk, noting medallions have been generously donated by Hoselton this year, while others, including SAO Fitness, Irwin Cabinet Works and Foodland, provided enough incentive to set the wheels in motion for year two. Sponsors this year also include R&S Home Hardware, A Little Taste of Paradise, Oak Hills Water, Jimmy’s Special Pizza, Wells Ford, Pro One Stop, The Running Room and Tri & Run Sports. “Now we just want to encourage people to come out,� he says.

couraging local businesses and residents along the courses to cheer the runners on as they pass by. And while there are competitive classes, “we’re all out there to have fun,� he says. Participants can cover any of the selected courses at their own pace, whether the fivekilometre route through the village or the longer tenkilometre circuit, and water stations will be set up along the way. But volunteers are still needed for various duties before, during and after the run and as far as registered participants are concerned, “the more the merrier,� Payne says. Hoping to top last year’s race-time numbers of 102, organizers are encouraging

runners and walkers of all ages to get out and enjoy the fresh air and show their support for the annual event. The shorter track, he notes, is ideal for parents with youngsters in strollers or for spectators awaiting the return of runners on the longer courses. It also provides an opportunity for all facets of the community to participate side by side, some as individuals and others as representatives of their community groups. The run begins at the Stirling arena at 9 a.m. Sunday, June 9, with registration information available online at <runningroom.com> or <stirlinglions.com> or by calling 613-395-0575 or 613-395-3261.

Codrington pit Municipal Board hearing set By Ray Yurkowski

EMC News - Brighton The long-awaited Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing to resolve objections from neighbouring property owners to CBM Aggregates’ application for a sand and gravel pit at Codrington is set to begin in August. CBM, a division of St. Marys Cement Group, filed applications for a sand and gravel pit licence at a 105-hectare (259-acre) site on Ferguson Hill Road in

2009. Although the actual area of extraction is proposed on only 80 hectares (198 acres), CBM expects to extract 14 million tonnes of aggregate over approximately 30 years.

both Northumberland County and the municipality.” He noted how the county has no objection, in principle, with the Codrington development and all provincial Ministry of Natural Resources conditions have been satisfied. “From the files, there are still 25 objections to the application,” he added. “There is some potential for a settlement of this matter,” OMB member Mary-Anne Sills, who presided over the session, advised those in attendance. “And because we’re dealing with three different types of applications, one may

be settled where others are not. I would say to the members of the public, it would be very helpful if you would attempt to co-ordinate your concerns and have one or two spokespersons speak, in the event it all proceeds to a hearing.” In all, eight “participants” were declared at the pre-hearing session, by OMB definition, “an individual, group or corporation that may choose to attend only part of the proceedings but makes a statement to the Board on all or some of the issues in the hearing.” “Your opinions are not weighed any less just because

anie Horton called the action a “friendly appeal” and noted they “continue to be committed to working with the municipality in an attempt to resolve outstanding issues.” “We are making the appeal at this time so that all of the matters associated with the CBM Codrington Pit may be consolidated into a single hearing at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB),” she wrote. “We’re close, but we’re not there yet,” said CBM lawyer David White at an OMB prehearing held last week at council chambers in Brighton. “We’re very close to agreements with

you are a participant,” explained lawyer Wayne Fairbrother, who represents both county and municipal interests. “It’s the evidence that matters.” One of those participants, Hollie Rodd, lives on Highway 30 in Codrington next door to the proposed entrance to the CBM operation. “I’m probably the most affected neighbour,” she said in an interview. “My whole backyard will be the gravel pit and north of my driveway would be the entrance. “The pit is going in, I know that,” Rodd added. “The question is, how do I get in and out of my driveway with all these trucks (estimated at upwards of 200 a day, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to noon on Saturday) when I’m right at the turning lane. It’s going to cause a huge problem for me. I just want to know what CBM plans to do for me. No one from CBM has ever contacted me for anything.” Rodd contends CBM officials lied when they told residents tests were conducted on all the wells in the area of the proposed pit. “No one has ever tested my well and I live in the gravel pit,” she said. Area residents Lynn and Randy McNichol, who built their dream home less than 100 feet from where excavation will begin, will attend as a “party.” Their role in the hearing process can include exchanging documents, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses and making submissions to the board. The hearing is set to begin at 10 a.m. on August 19 at council chambers, 35 Alice Street, with a possible five days of testimony. “To be guaranteed the opportunity to participate, you do need to be here at the start of the hearing on the first day,” said Sills. “I would encourage people that do have questions about the applications, ask those questions of the municipal staff.” Another public meeting will be scheduled, most likely at the end of the June, said municipal planner Ken Hurford, after the meeting.

Kylie could be Canada’s next tennis star

years of age it might be a little EMC Sports - Belleville - while before the city sees Kylie Canada’s next tennis star could Krasnuik on the courts of the come from Belleville’s own Rogers Cup. “To me, she looks like a bit backyard, although at just six By Steve Jessel

of a tennis player,” said father Thomas Krasnuik at the tennis courts behind the Belleville YMCA. “I’d like to get her into professional tennis eventually,

and I’m going to do everything that I can to do that.” Kylie has been playing tennis for the past 18 months, and while the Rogers Cup might be a few years away, there is a much more immediate goal for the father-daughter duo. Tennis Canada operates an under-nine program, and after calling Tennis Canada directly, Thomas has been provided the exact type of training schedule that participants on the under-nine circuit use. Kylie now trains and practises five days a week, and after posting video of Kylie’s skills, Thomas has now been in touch with tennis professional Rick Macci, who expressed his interest in having Kylie attend his academy in August. Macci has formerly trained tennis superstars such as Andy Roddick and Serena Williams.

“She works so hard; it’s crazy to see,” Thomas said. “She just turned six and it’s crazy to see her so interested in tennis.” It can be hard to imagine a six-year old showing much aptitude for such a demanding sport, but on the court Kylie is a whirling dervish of activity, going through the drills with her father with incredible alacrity. As part of their training Thomas has also been doing cardio workouts such as mountain climbers, and even upon hearing the term Kylie immediately dropped to her hands and feet and began enthusiastically performing the exercise without any prompting. “She loves mountain climbers,” Thomas said with a smile. While Kylie was understandably shy, she did express her love of the different tennis tech-

niques such as backhands and volleys, and said her favourite player was former world number one Ana Ivanovic, because she “is a very good tennis player.” “I think if she sees it, there’s a connection. She sits down and she sees on the television,” Thomas said. “She’s serving, she’s hitting forehands, and she’s doing the things that her heroes are doing on TV.” After attending the two-week camp in August, it will still be a couple of years before Kylie can take part in the under-nine Tennis Canada program. Until then, Thomas said he was thankful for the support Tennis Canada had offered him and his daughter. “Tennis Canada has been really supportive and guiding,” he said. “I can’t believe I have a line of communication with various people there.”

“We are extremely excited and honoured to have been selected,” said Belleville Bid Committee Chair Brett Davis in a release. “We were up late on Saturday night to hear the announcement, and still can’t believe that we got it.” More than 400 athletes, coaches and fans from 16 countries will visit the city for ten days, resulting in an economic boon of approximately $1.2 million. Belleville beat out a Swiss city for the honour of hosting the championships, and this will mark the first championships ever to be played in North America. “We hosted a group from Sweden in March in a bid to get this event to Belleville, Bay of Quinte,” said Bay of Quinte Tourism President Ryan Williams in a release. “The difference was the new Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre. We know that this facility is a great local draw, but we also know of its capacity to draw millions of dollars in economic development to the City of Belleville and the region of Bay of Quinte. They loved the facility, the region, and the organizers, and the result is a very big win for the city and region.”

Parks Canada freezes lockage fees

EMC News - Trent Hills - Recreational lockage fees along the Trent-Severn and Rideau waterways will remain the same for the next three years, the federal government has decided. In making the announcement May 14, Environment Minister Peter Kent said he and Parks Canada will use the time to work with MPs, community leaders and the tourism industry “to develop and implement an improved operating model to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the canals operations.” “It’s great news,” Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan said of “the reprieve” which will give everyone, including the mayors task force he belongs to, more time “to come up with alternative solutions,” including a new way of governance for the Trent-Severn. Parks Canada “has always had challenges

with” operating the waterway, he said. “I just don’t think it’s their forte.” Marc Ackert, captain of the Kawartha Voyageur, a cruise boat, and a member of the mayors task force, said the rate freeze is “very positive for the local municipalities” as it will give them an opportunity to “work on something progressive” in the coming months. He’s been “pushing for due diligence” on how the Trent-Severn is operated The agency caused a furor a few months ago when it announced changes in service resulting from staff layoffs while proposing much higher fees for recreational boaters beginning next year, to help reduce the waterway’s annual deficit. Northumberland-Quinte West MP Rick Norlock said he and fellow MPs concerned about

the negative effects of substantial fee increases, had argued a “better way of operating” the Trent-Severn and Rideau canal systems was needed, and the minister of the environment took their case to Cabinet. Holding the line on fees that haven’t changed since 2008 for another three years “gives certainty” to people planning trips on the waterway, he said. And Parks Canada “has given a commitment that they will do everything they can to ensure there is a continual movement of boat traffic and that nobody … gets hung up in a particular lock unexpectedly,” he said. Jewel Cunningham, Ontario Waterways director for Parks Canada, said there have been “some improvements to the original concept of Please see “Parks” on page 4

EMC News - Madoc - He was known for his tenacity and his hockey skills, then for the secret he kept through most of his career. Theo Fleury is expected to arrive at Parliament Hill today (Thursday) with a crowd of supporters and a message to Ottawa policymakers about child sexual abuse. It shouldn’t ever be a secret, he says. The visit and planned 11 a.m. address marks the end of the former-NHL star’s Victor Walk from Toronto, which saw his team travel along Highway 7 last weekend with stops in Havelock, Madoc and Perth. And halfway to Parliament Hill Fleury was already calling it “a life-changing experience.” Fleury, whose life and experiences are already documented in his 2009 book Playing With Fire, says the walk is just another step in his journey along life’s path but he admits it’s a big one. And the book had a lot to do with it. “I had no idea when I wrote the book what I was getting into,” he says, but adds it was a critical part of his own healing process. And Fleury, who has made the journey from sexual assault victim to advocate for awareness and change, says the problem may actually be significantly worse than estimates reveal. Banners hung from a pair of motorhomes parked at the Quality RV Campground west of Madoc proclaim “Don’t quit before the miracle: 8 million sexually abused Canadians from victim to Victor!!” Preparing to camp for the night, accompanied by his seven fellow walkers, other team members and a pair of motor homes and a pace car, Fleury was greeted by wellwishers in Madoc which he says boosted spirits after an

exhausting day. Walkers travel four at a time, sharing the 80-kilometre distance covered daily, and support has been evident on the road as well, he says. “We’ve had an incredible response,” he says of the inaugural Victor Walk that, while raising funds, is primarily focused on raising awareness. “Orange is the colour of courage,” Fleury says, “and courage is contagious.” The team also sported pink bandanas, walking in support of a different group or individual each day. Saturday, they walked for Rehteah Parsons. And along the way, he says, he has encountered many strangers who have made the admission “me too,” and often for the first time. And the only way to travel from victim to Victor, he notes, is to get rid of the shame. “There’s empowerment with that,” he says. “There’s a lot of shame for the survivors and for their families,” he says, and overcoming past abuse comes in part through the understanding “there’s not a lot you could have done anyway. “It’s the shame that makes us silent.” But since Fleury first spoke out, he has gone on to play the part of advocate and the man behind the Victor Movement. “It’s all about awareness,” Fleury says. And the inaugural Victor Walk may well become an annual event. And the word is getting out. “They know we’re coming,” he says with a laugh when asked about his planned address at Parliament Hill. Among those joining Fleury for the walk is Kim Charlebois, executive director of the Sexual Assault Centre for Quinte and District who called the awareness-raising event “incredibly necessary.” Praising Fleury for his willingness to engage the public through his walk and Please see “Fleury” on page 3 R0012108387

by telling his story, she says the results have already been evident by the number of people showing their support along the route. Particularly impressive, she says, has been cameraman Michael David Lynch who arrived in Madoc after walking backwards, filming the participants all the way from Toronto. Lynch was busy gathering more footage for a documentary as his subjects, both visitors and Victor Walk officials, took a break just off the highway. The walk was held in support of Little Warriors, Sexual Assault Centre for Quinte and District and the Siksika Nation. Their web site, <victorwalk.com> explains:

“The Victor Movement was created to raise awareness for, and heal those who have been devastated by child sexual abuse; to that end the Victor Movement is a social good company focused on business endeavours that will create revenue to give to those chronically underfunded non-profit groups. We don’t believe Canada needs another charity, it needs companies and people who will create platforms to make money and give where needed in the world.” Theo Fleury is surrounded by his Victor Walk team members including (from left) Zoran Zelic, Dawn Robert, Becky Goodwin, Bill Goodwin, Kim Charlebois and Michael David Lynch.

Learning to work together EMC News - Belleville - The Loyalist College campus was the focal point for the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program this past week, as 24 young people from Belleville to Etobicoke took part in a week-long event that focused on the issues of leadership, teamwork, collaboration, and making their community a better place. “Knowledge is only one small aspect of being successful,â€? said organizer Diane Goffin. “The ability to work with others, the ability to understand where they’re coming from, the ability to work as a team, take leadership when you should and give leadership to someone else when appropriate, those are hugely important skills in every aspect of life.â€? First established in 1971, today the program sees participants spend a week on campus at Loyalist College each year. During that period, time is split between workshops and practical activities along with some social time, as the youth learn about contrasting leadership styles and how they can contribute back to their own communities. “There’s a lot of opportunities for them to speak and share their ideas, and build their confidence in their abilities to share their ideas, and they’re also building some wonderful contacts here,â€? Goffin said. “By the end of the week they have developed such close friendships ‌ they are there for one another, and it’s wonderful to see.â€? From Belleville, new Loyalist stu-

dent President Chantel Johnston took part, and said it was at times an incredibly “eye-opening� experience. Describing herself as having a “bossy� leadership style, Johnston said it was enlightening to have to interact with youth with varying and at times contrasting leadership styles. “I think one of the biggest things we learned is not to treat other people the way you would like to be treated, but to treat others as they would like to be treated, because not everyone is the same,� she said. “Instead of just accepting the fact that we’re all different, learn how to work with everyone.� Johnston said she wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when she first arrived for the camp, but that the program quickly became a lot of fun as she got to know the other participants. She said it was interesting after the initial few days to start to see the ideas and principles being taught actually being applied after the day’s events had finished, sometimes without the youth even possibly being aware of what they were doing. “It ended up being a lot of learning how to figure out what kind of leader you are and how to work with other people,� Johnston said. “It was cool to see how we all worked together, and how to not necessarily create leaders, but take people who have leadership skills and help form them into something productive.� Goffin said the program is a mix of preparing the youth for personal growth and career opportunities, and in fact it was hard to separate the two aspects at times.

Quinte SailAbility hosts Ready, Set, Wear It challenge By Kate Everson

EMC News - Quinte West - Quinte SailAbility is doing its best to make boating safe and fun for everyone. “With summer almost here, it’s time to remind the nearly 16 million Canadians who will enjoy some form of on-water recreation this year of the importance of wearing a life jacket,” said president Dennis “Fletch” Fletcher. Volunteers came armed to the Quinte SailAbility site at CFB Trenton Yacht Club on Baker Island on May 18. There were personal flotation devices (PFDs) of all kinds. The colonel wore a compact life jacket that had a simple pull cord that inflated the jacket with an imbedded CO2 cartridge. “We wear these on the helicopters,” said Wing Commander Colonel Sean Friday. He showed some of the other celebrities how to do it (and undo it.) MP Rick Norlock, MPP Rob Milligan, Fire John Mallan from Belleville helps Laura Watts from Brighton get the Quinte SailAbility boats ready. Chief John Whelan and volunteers from Photo: Kate Everson the yacht club were on hand to stand up for water safety. They all posed on a yacht tied up at the dock then went, “Ready, Set, Inflate!” and all the jackets popped at once. There were only a few misses, and eventually even those inflated. “We are fortunate to get 426 Squadron to provide us with the CO2 canisters,” Fletch noted. “They can only be used once and cost $45 each.”

Fletch said the other PFDs come already inflated but are bulkier to wear, especially when trying to navigate a vessel like a sailboat. He said there is an automatic PFD that inflates as soon as you hit the water, without having to pull the cord. It is useful if you are unconscious, and it will flip you over so your head is above water. “This is particularly helpful for sailors,” he noted. “The boom could knock you right out of the boat.” He said the inflated types are good too, but they have one problem. You could end up face down in the water. Allen Weese and his wife Orpha were two of the volunteers in the Ready, Set, Inflate from Carrying Place. Allen had two strokes in the past nine years and is in a wheelchair. He has been taking advantage of the SailAbility program that gets him sailing despite his handicap. “It’s great!” Weese said. “I can actually go sailing by myself.” Red McGillivray and his wife Sheila were also in the challenge. Red is an avid ice boater from Carrying Place. The therapeutic sailing program teaches people with all kinds of disabilities to sail in a specially designed boat that is guaranteed not to sink even when holding water. Special devices help even paraplegics get sailing. “We have blind people sailing, quadriplegics, any disability and age can

learn how to sail,” Fletch said. He explained that quadriplegics operate their boat with a “sip and puff” method which requires no functioning limbs. Program support officer Laura Watts and her sister Vanessa Watts, an instructor, both from Brighton, help people sail in the special sailboats with Quinte SailAbility. They showed how a backup boat can help them on the water with great power, but the tiny sailboats themselves are designed to be super stable and most sailors can manage them alone or with an assistant. A crane can lower a disabled person right off the dock into the boat. The only problem might be the swans. “There are dozens of swans out there in the water,” Watts said laughing. “They don’t like it if you get too close to them, especially if they have babies nearby.” A demonstration day is set for June 21 when people who might be interested in participating in Quinte SailAbility can come and try it out on the water. CFB Trenton Yacht Club has hosted one of 200 world-wide “Ready, Set, Wear It” events on May 18. While the goal was to set a world record for the most life jackets worn and inflatable life jackets inflated, the real purpose is to educate boaters on the importance of life jackets and boating safety. Safe Boating Awareness Week is May 18 to 24.

EMC Lifestyles - Strasbourg, located near the German border, is the capital and principal city of the Alsace region in eastern France. Its entire historic city centre, the Grand Ile (Grand Island) has been classified as a World Heritage Site and I found it was just a nice size for an intriguing walking tour. I strolled through this historic area with Annie Dumoulin, the Deputy Director of the Tourism Office, and I was certainly impressed. However, my favourite area of all was La Petite France (Little France), in the southwest corner, where the river Ill splits up into a number of canals and cascades through an area of medieval half-timbered houses, footbridges, and narrow cobblestoned streets. Back in the Middle Ages, this area was primarily the tanners’ quarter, so a lot of these half-timbered houses used to have animal hides hanging out to dry from their lofts. Many of these houses also stocked corn and grain in their attics, so it was common to see hooks at the top of these old buildings so these food products could be hauled up and stored. La Petite France attracts a lot of tourists and I found many photo ops here as I walked through the narrow streets and checked out the picturesque and well maintained 16th and 17th century houses located along the canals; the entire area is basically an island, with canals surrounding it. I watched boats entering and exiting a canal lock, and I discovered a large panoramic terrace at the top of the area’s Vauban Dam (the Great Lock); this dam, built in the 17th century, was an integral part of the fortifications, for the gates on the water could be closed, to block invaders’ boats, and the water level could be raised, to slow down invading pedestrian troops. I also checked out what’s left of the area’s 14th century towers, the “Ponts-Couverts” (Covered Bridges); they haven’t been “covered” since the 18th century, but the name has remained intact. The area has, more recently, added a number of trendy shops, restaurants, and luxury hotels for the tourists. Cleary visible from La Petite France is the towering edifice, Notre-Dame Cathedral; after all, it was the tallest church in the world well into the 19th century. I, of course, visited this magnificent church on my stroll, and it’s possible to ascend its tower for a spectacular panoramic view. I learned some of the church’s beautiful stained glass windows dated to the 12th century, as does

Reality Check:

Sheila Wray Gregoire EMC Lifestyles - Ancaster resident Sharlene Bosma spent Mother’s Day in agony, wondering about the fate of her husband Tim. After taking two guys out

to test drive a truck he was selling, he was never seen by his family again. His body has now been found. Police charged aviation heir Dellen Millard. Bosma’s truck had been located at his mother’s house. He had been identified as having been with Bosma. Yet when he was taken into custody, his lawyer, Deepak Paradkar, expressed incredulity that the police would zero in on his client. According to the CBC, Paradkar said, “He’s a very unassuming, humble person. He’s intelligent, well-educated and financially well off, so there’s no motive here.� He went on to note that Millard had attended the Toronto French School. How could someone who attended an elite private school be suspected of doing such a thing? Forgive me for feeling a little sick to my stomach at that statement. Evil knows no social class. I do not know

The Good Earth: EMC Lifestyles - Lilacs (Syringa) are the best spring flowering shrub on the face of this Good Earth. There are quite a few species within this genus but for many of us “lilacâ€? means Syringa vulgaris (vulgaris translates as “commonâ€?). On the west side of our property, along the path leading to our kitchen door, is a very old clump of what appear to be common lilacs (although the cultivar President Lincoln is also a possibility) that reaches up almost 20 feet and overhangs the path. It provides moderate shade during the summer for a collection of woodland plants and nicely separates adjacent properties. However, when this lovely lilac is in full bloom, as it is today, the air is infused with an unmistakeable fragrance. Owing to its size, the blooms are not visible as one passes under the canopy. Guests will often pause on the path and look around for the source of the scent; when they finally look up and see the beautiful flower panicles they take a deeper breath and smile ‌ always.

Evil knows no social class

There is much contentious discussion about native and introduced plants and the appropriateness of adopting one of the two philosophies. This is a big world with many intricate ecosystems scattered across its surface. Often, an introduction of an organism from without that cultural enclave causes havoc with undesirable results. Sometimes, the opposite is true. My philosophy is “caveat consitor� or “planter beware.� As best as I can determine, our lilacs are direct descendants from plants growing in middle Europe, having come to North America in the mid 1600s via the Silk Route. (Wouldn’t you like to see the stamps on that passport?) So, I’m happy that this outsider was brought to our continent. The Central Experimental Farm has a very well researched page on their web site, <http://www.friendsofthefarm.ca/>. There are many types of lilacs with unique characteristics of colour, bloom time, form and ultimate

whether Millard is guilty or not; but I find this “why would a wealthy person do this?� statement offensive in the extreme. Are we supposed to believe that rich=good and poor=bad? A few years ago I read a brilliant book by psychiatrist M. Scott Peck of The Road Less Traveled fame. In People of the Lie he wrote about the most frustrating part of his practice: coming face to face with evil. And evil people, he thinks, can’t be cured, short of a major spiritual intervention. What they need is a priest, not a doctor. Over and over again Scott Peck saw in his office people whose state of mind couldn’t be explained by their upbringing, or by psychiatric theory, or by conditioning. He saw people who chose to lie when the truth wouldn’t have harmed them. He saw people who cared nothing of those around them, while still giv-

it around so that we’re the ones with the problem. They can’t be pinned down. They’re slippery. They’re slimy. And they’re scary. Peck ended his investigation weary and disheartened. Psychiatry does not have the answers for evil people. They can’t be “cured,� except perhaps by an exorcist. Therefore, it’s time to call a spade a spade and not muddy it up with diagnoses making it sound as if these people aren’t culpable. So, Mr. Paradkar, I don’t know if your client is guilty, but I do know that rich people can cause havoc just as much as poor people can. And until we admit that evil has no bounds and no excuse, we’ll be living a lie as much as they are. Instead of lies, let’s tell the truth: Evil exists. Evil can be anywhere. And evil needs to be resisted, not excused.

size. Without a doubt there is a lilac for just about every spot on your estate except for deep shade. Our small city property hosts the previously mentioned common lilac, a Madame Lemoine French hybrid, an unknown shrub that was identified by a plantsman as a Belgian lilac, a Tinkerbelle and a Bloomerang, and a Japanese silk lilac tree. The latter is S. reticulata “Ivory Silk� and was introduced by Ontario’s Sheridan Nursery in 1973. This allows us to extend our lilacs-in-bloom time from mid-May to mid-June; however, there is no doubt that the French hybrids are the most fragrant and the most colourful. That doesn’t mean that others

such as S. x prestoniae (named after Isabella Preston; who is to Canadian horticultural as Emily Carr is to Canadian artists) with colours ranging from white (Miss Canada) to pink (James MacFarlane) to deep red (Donald Wyman); such as S. x hyacinthiflora with a colour palette that brings a deeper pink (Sweetheart) than Preston’s Jimmy Mac and a vigorous white (Mt. Baker); and, such as many combinations of Japanese and Korean “dwarf� lilacs which include Tinkerbelle and Miss Kim, dwarf in the sense that they top out under seven feet. Here is my “best� list and, not unsurprisingly, they are all S. vulgaris cultivars. Best pur-

Best yellow: “Primrose,� when young the buttery buds open to a, perhaps disappointing, light cream colour but as the shrub ages, the yellow will intensify. Best red: “Monge� with a purple undertone and “Congo� with a carmine ruby influence. Best white: “Mme Lemoine.� Best pink: nothing because, while “Belle de Nancy� is considered a good choice, I don’t really favour the colour.

ing the impression that their love could not be questioned. He saw people who would lie to your face, but when accused of it would question your sanity. These people were dedicated to deception for one reason: to deflect any responsibility for their own moral choices. It’s not the fact that evil people do wrong that is so terrible, says Peck. All of us do wrong. But, Peck says, “the central defect of the evil is not the sin but the refusal to acknowledge it.� It’s narcissism to the nth degree. And these people are everywhere. They’re doctors, and lawyers, and executives. They’re married. They look outwardly normal, but they cause chaos wherever they go.

There will be various free contests for participants to enter their dogs in: tallest/shortest dog, slobberyiest dog, the “King and Queen� contest, and last year’s most popular, the dog and owner look-a-like contest, has been brought back again. High Flying Canines will also host a “try it� division this year where for $10

owners and their four-legged friends can try disc catching and walk away with a disc that they can practise with at home. A portion of the proceeds from the try it division will be donated to the Quinte Humane Society, who will be onsite all day accepting donations of cash and products from their Wish List.

“This is going to be the best year yet by far!� notes Colleen Vickers, Special Events Co-ordinator, City of Quinte West. “The committee is ecstatic that the festival continues to grow in popularity and has been able to attract such high calibre entertainment.

Motocross opens in Madoc

EMC News - Madoc - Over 100 families camped out in Madoc Victoria Day weekend to participate in the first meet of motocross racing at the Madoc Fairgrounds. Maguire’s Motocross Racing Series (MMRS) is known for its high level of competition on well maintained tracks. Four years ago John Maguire developed a state-of-the-art track in an unused portion of the Madoc Fairgrounds. Together with the Madoc Agricultural Society (MAS) they host five racing events throughout the season. Maguire said for safety it is â€œâ€Ś best to have a practice day before race day. This way riders get to know the track and build confidence.â€? Maguire’s and the agricultural society managed to have ten days approved by Madoc Township council, but were hoping for one more day for. Maguire said, “That one day makes a difference. It means riders will have to go out without practice. We don’t like to do that.â€? Dave Chappell of the MAS board said there had been two noise complaints and council decided to limit track time; he said the board hopes council will reconsider in the future. Maguire is willing to work with the limitations. His membership brings in close to 1,000 people for any one event with proceeds of the gate split with MAS. Along with running a food booth, the fair board can profit by $3,000 each race weekend, which they use to improve buildings and facilities on the grounds. Currently, MMRS is running the nine-race Hindle Exhaust Provincial series, using five different tracks (Co-

Blues in the Schools visits two local schools By Sue Dickens

EMC News - Warkworth “Blues in the Schools” (BITS) program is still going strong after more than three decades as it brings musicians to students to conduct classes on the history of the blues, famous blues musicians, different styles of blues, and how to write, sing and perform the blues. Students at Percy Centennial Public School in Warkworth and St. Mary Catholic Elementary School in Campbellford were

among those who were lucky enough to have Canadian blues and roots musician Rick Fines who has been writing songs, recording and touring for over 25 years, teach the BITS program at their school. “The essential part, to encourage the students to express themselves, is of great value whether they are writing a song or experimenting with creating a melody on their own,” Fines told Trent Hills Regional News. Last year BITS was brought to

Kent School and again to Percy by The Loyal Blues Fellowship of Belleville, which has a BITS program in place. “Any form of self-expression helps the kids discern if they like what they have created and in that whole process to understand who they are. The more someone knows about themselves the better chance they have in the world,” said Fines. “The two schools selected to get the program this year offered to pay half the cost, providing

matching funding,” said Jane Archer. She and her son Matt organized the pre-Party for Peck event held earlier this year at the Aron Theatre, as a memorial to her son Jesse “Peck” Archer, a talented musician who was tragically killed in June 2010. The event raises money for BITS. Another fund raiser was the Church Key Spring Revival, now in its 11th year, which was held earlier this month. This is a “signature” fund raiser by Church Key Brewing Company. The final and main fund-raising

event, the third annual Party For Peck will be held on August 3. “It will feature six to eight local bands on a festival stage with state-of-the-art sound and light provided by Clarington Pro Sound who are donating their services, raffles, silent auction, overnight camping, great local food and more at a rural property on Thompson Road near Campbellford,” explained Archer. She has her own musical career as the lead vocalist and manager of the Balls and Jane Blues Band. Her son Matt, who plays bass

in the 24th Street Wailers, is scheduled to perform at the Party for Peck. If enough money is raised, there will be more schools enjoying the BITS program. “We plan to present the Rick Fines program in our remaining elementary schools in the fall, provided our 2013 fund raising is successful and so far we are keeping pace,” Archer told Trent Hills Regional News. For more information check out their Facebook page: <https:// www.facebook.com/PartyforPeck>.

ENGAGEMENT

To the Residents of Brighton My sincere thanks for all your kind words of appreciation. Truly sent, Sincrely meant Alice Richardson THANK YOU The family of the late Albert Lajoie extend our sincere thanks for all the kindness and compassion shown to us during the past weeks. The cards, visits, phone calls, flowers, food and memorial donations were much appreciated. A special thank you is extended to the staff and doctors at Campbellford Memorial and Peterborough Regional Health Centre for their care and concern for Albert. Thank you to Father Gilles for his comforting words and to Ron and Catherine LaVallee for playing the music. Many thanks to the CWL ladies for the delicious lunch served after the service. We are deeply grateful to the McConnell Funeral Home staff for their help and support during this difficult time.

Together we raised $4,000 for the Campbellford Memorial Hospital! The funds raised will go toward the purchase of a digital mammography machine at the hospital. The CMH Foundation needs to raise $700,000 so the machine can be purchased in early 2014. Thank You!
