The fight for Ostrander Point has taken many turns, but it's not over. Last week, the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN) filed their submission to the Court of Appeal for Ontario, asking for leave to appeal the Divisional Court reversal of the decision of the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT). The move was announced in an April 14 news release on the saveostranderpoint.org website. It's still unclear when the Appeal Court will make a decision on the request, but PECFN speculate it could come by June. The group says the development could put further risk on endangered species and will cause irreparable harm to animals and habitats. The project location is in the heart of an internationally recognized Important Bird Area (IBA). PECFN past president Cheryl Anderson said Gilead and the Ministry of the Environment will have a chance to respond to the organization's request for a leave for appeal. Anderson said PECFN will have an opportunity to respond to those comments. “Once all of the documents and replies have been received by the registrar of the appeal court, then it will all go to the judges,” she said. “That could be any time from the middle of May to the middle of June.” She said if the group receives permission to appeal, the court will inform them when they should appear. Just last July the ERT had revoked the approval of the nine-turbine Gilead Power wind project on Crown land at Ostrander Point. The release says more than 20 appeals have been made of Renewable Energy Approvals (REA) since the Green Energy Act came into effect in 2009, but PECFN's was the first appeal to make any

headway. However, Gilead appealed and the Divisional Court found the ERT erred in its decision. Shortly afterward Gilead announced plans to begin construction at the site, but the field naturalists brought forward a motion for a stay of construction and leave to appeal the Divisional Court decision to the Court of Appeal. The release says a decision on the stay came on March 25 with Judge Robert Blair indicating he had “no hesitation in granting the stay” as the case has “broad public implication in the field of environmental law.” Additionally, the release says Blair found the irreparable harm criterion had been met as “once a habitat is destroyed, it is destroyed — for at least short-term purposes in any event — and the species sought to be protected here is a vulnerable and endangered species.” Following that decision, the Divisional Court found Gilead's demand for $120,000 in legal costs was too high and lowered it to $40,000. The reason given in the ruling, the release says, is “clearly the case is of important public interest.” Anderson said that comment is a significant sign of positive things to come. “It's a sign of positive things because of the response of the court to that request,” she said. “They said because it was a case of public interest we should pay $40,000 down from $120,000. Of course, nothing will be paid to anyone until all is said and done. We're not on the hook for anything at this stage as far as court costs go.” PECFN president Myrna Wood said in the release the decision is encouraging. “We see this as a positive indicator that permission to appeal will be given,” she said.

Warm weather brings streams to waterfall tours Picton Rotarians consider backing water project for Guatemalan village adam BramBurger

Staff writer

The paths down to the waterfalls at Cape Vessey and Jackson’s Falls were well trod over the weekend as the conditions were nearly perfect for Picton Rotary’s annual tours. “We’ve had a big day for our first day,” said Bob Bird, one of the Rotary members volunteering at Jackson’s Falls, pointing people off County Rd. 17 and down a path on Brenda and John Laws’ property. “The sunny weather always makes a big difference,” Bird added. At the Jackson’s Falls site, visitors left their cars parked along the roadway and managed to walk their way down a steep path measuring nearly 30 feet in somewhat muddy terrain, then hop across a fast-moving stream using branches and rocks, just to get in place for a perfect picture. None seemed too daunted, however, as families featuring as many as three generations inched closer to the waterfall, which carried more volume than many gathered could remember. Some families even came straight from the Milford Easter parade, some sporting bonnets and dresses just to enjoy the rare landforms

that are only available to the public one weekend every year. “That’s why we do it on Easter weekend, we’ve found it’s a great weekend for people to come with their children and their grandchildren,” Bird said. Judi Edwards was one of

the repeat visitors who made her way to Jackson’s Falls and later to Cape Vessey this year. Edwards indicated the tour had been something she wanted to do for some time and upon seeing the advertisements last year, her family decided they’d

check out the two sites. “We had wanted to go, but we weren’t sure how spectacular it was going to be,” she said. “I must say we were absolutely amazed by our visit.” Edwards indicated she was even more impressed by the Cape Vessey falls on property owned by Hossein and Anne Banani, which she described as even taller than Jackson’s Falls, albeit one that took a bit of a journey to reach. After that first visit, she said it was an easy decision to bring visitors from the Kitchener and Kingston areas to see the sites as well. In recent years with good weather, Rotary has managed to raise thousands of dollars in a single weekend to help with Rotary International-sponsored water projects around the world. Past projects include a clear water provision for a development centre in Uganda and water and sanitation for a school in Mozambique. Over the past two years, the club has worked to support its own project in Atorkor, Ghana, providing a water tower, cisterns, and pipelines for the vocational training centre member Peta Hall started there. Bird said the club is still finalizing its project for this year. An opportunity in Guatemala to help a club there supply water needs for the community of Los Jiatz for 20 years. Rotarian Rob Leek had previously visited that club and learned about the project.

Defence attorney argues precedent supports not criminally responsible verdict Justice Robert Scott hears closing statements in Jeffery murder trial Jason Parks

Staff writer

If Justice Robert Scott is to find Beau Jeffery guilty of stabbing his mother Elaine Jeffery to death on Aug. 24, 2011, he might very well be making a landmark decision. On Thursday, both Crown attorney Jodi Whyte and defence counsel Christopher Murphy presented their factums and provided closing submissions to Scott in Picton's Superior Court of Justice. Jeffery stands accused of stabbing his mother in their County Rd. 5 home around 2:50 p.m. Before taking her body to a secluded swamplike area just off Old Milford road in North Marysburgh ward. Opening the day’s proceedings, Murphy told the court he could not find a single case in the Commonwealth or the United States where a judge or jury had convicted an individual of murder after both defence and state experts had deemed the accused not criminally responsible for their actions. In presenting his case for Jeffery to be found not criminally responsible, Murphy admitted that if certain elements of the case were magnified through microscopic vision, they could lead both to and from Jeffery not knowing what he was doing when he killed his mother was morally wrong. However, looking at the big picture and all the evidence, it was not likely Jeffery knew what he was doing was wrong. “In 2008, he is diagnosed with what (Crown psychiatrist) Dr. Derek Pallandi calls the worst type of mental illness there is (schizophrenia). In 2010, he is diagnosed again. In 2011, left untreated, he kills his mother,” Murphy stated. “The Crown's case is that in a moment of

awaiting a verdict Beau Jeffery is led into Picton Superior Court earlier this year. The young man accused of murdering his mother is expected to hear his fate Wednesday. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

clarity, after asking for the car keys of the rental vehicle and being told no, he stabbed his mother 13 times including five times in the back when he was in the middle of six years of the worst type of mental illness there is. Given all the evidence, that's simply not probable.” Murphy said three experts, including defence expert Dr. Jonathon Rootenberg and Pallandi opined that it was more likely and very probable Beau Jeffery did not have the mental capacity to know what he was doing wrong and, upon examination, the young man was not malingering his condition to gain a favourable finding of not criminally responsible. Murphy detailed instances in the days leading up to the index offence where Jeffery called 911 twice, telling dispatchers in the early morning hours of July 24, 2011 that natives were screaming and chanting outside his window. Later that morning, Jeffery called and told a 911 operator that a lesbian ghost organization had infiltrated his house and guns and cocaine were being stashed in the walls and vents. Just days prior to the

murder, Murphy told the court his client would tell his father James Jeffery to “get out of my head or I'm going to scramble you.” James Jeffery would tell court during his testimony that his son was a '10 out of 10' on his layman's scale of psychosis that he would use to gauge the condition of

Beau. Murphy said in his cross examination of Pallandi, the psychiatrist admitted to the court he would put 'significant weight' behind a person's assessment that had day-to-day dealings with an individual with a major mental illness like schizophrenia. “By itself, maybe the murder was a random act of violence. But when you start to look at the actions before and afterwards, it's not and especially after the interview on Sept. 2,” Murphy said. In speaking with Det. Sgt. Jim Smyth at the Prince Edward OPP detachment for the last time just after he led investigators to where he dumped his mother's body and was charged with murder, Murphy said the lid finally comes off and Beau Jeffery fully exposes what has happened. “Det. Sgt. Smyth got everything out of Beau Jeffery as he is trained to do,” Murphy said. Details about the stabbing, where the knife came from, Jeffery's attempt to snap his mother's neck “like they do in the movies” , his attempts to discard her body

and clean the crime scene with bleach came pouring out. But other things came out too, including Beau Jeffery's beliefs his mother was going to snip his penis with nail clippers, that he had telepathic powers, and he

could resurrect people from the dead. “The Crown likes the recount of what took place in the kitchen and what took place afterwards,” Murphy told Scott.

Gazette helps newspapers make history through #frontpageblitz Non-daily publication editors hold one-day protest Thursday to encourage Newseum to display their pages alongside daily peers

There’s an old rule in the newspaper business that journalists strive to not become the story. Just this once, the Gazette’s staff members happily broke that rule last Thursday. The Gazette was one of more than 170 non-daily newspapers from around the world that used Twitter to send its front page that day the Washington, D.C. News Museum — known to many simply as Newseum. Every day, Newseum posts more than 700 daily newspaper front pages to its web site, www.newseum.org, which receives thousands of hits per day. Each day, some 80 of those newspapers including one from each American state is blown up and displayed at the museum itself. Until Thursday, the museum had a policy that it would not include newspapers that weren’t either currently producing daily print editions or formerly producing print editions. The snub caught the attention several weekly newspaper editors in the United States, who felt their products were adding much to the public record. Reed Anfinson, the publisher of the Swift County Monitor-News in Benson, Minnesota was a former president of the American National Newspapers Association in 2011-2012. He sent his front page in, along with a note explaining the single-day campaign. He indicated he’d often stop by Newseum to read the front pages and find himself disappointed many voices weren’t being represented there. “ However, it was always a disappointment to see how little, if any, focus there was on community journalism outside the major metropoli-

rectly.” The Gazette’s front page was among an assortment of offerings that day featured that day in coverage by the Daily Yonder, a rural interest blog in the United States that picked up the story. A spokesperson for Newseum, Jonathan Thompson, told media-industry web site Poynter.org that the cam-

paign was responsible for changing policy. “Absolutely. When people get together like this and feel strongly about a specific issue, and mobilize and make specific arguments, it does have an impact,” Thompson said. Newseum now allows any general interest newspaper to submit its front pages

for display and Bramburger said the Gazette will be a regular participant in the future. The museum keeps special archives of front pages from many big events in history like 9/11, Papal inductions, elections and declarations of war. Fittingly, people will get to see how lower circulation, community media outlets handled that news.

Stebbins told Poynter that’s all he and his colleagues were asking for in staging the protest. “We have forced them to at least start considering weeklies as real, legitimate newspapers that should stand aside their daily counterparts,” he said.

tan cities,” he wrote. It was also discouraging to see how little credit was given to the role community newspapers play in this country’s history inside among the Newseum’s many displays.” Initially Newseum relented in the face of pressure, however, the International Society of Weekly Newspapers spread the cause. During the campaign, the society’s executive director tweeted the policy was “offensive to editors who toll every week to keep their communities informed” and chided about the mandate ignoring 5,500 papers. The Gazette heard about the campaign from the Ontario Community Newspaper Association that morning and editor Adam Bramburger said he knew it was a campaign Canada’s longest printing weekly should be a part of. “In a day when many daily newspapers, broadcast outlets, and new-media properties are owned by few, there aren’t as many voices out there,” he said. “Time and time again, people turn to their community newspaper for a different perspective and for a close-to-home account of the news that affects them di-

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n A Picton resident was fined $10 and $5 court costs after painting his outdated licence plate yellow to match the colour of the plates being issued that year. Police noticed, however, the man didn’t bother to use black paint for the numbers and promptly charged the offender. n The Picton Collegiate Institute reported its highest attendance ever as 245 students were registered at the school through Easter progress reports. The figures were broken down into 112 students attending lower school, 56 attending middle school, 10 attending upper school, and the bulk of 67 students in commercial classes. n Castle Villeneuve was set to reopen for the new year with management expected to welcome 200 guests May 22 at the beginning of the season. The castle had already received many applications for rooms and was expected to experience a busy tourist season that year. n Picton expected to have two very competitive entries in the Hastings-Prince Edward junior baseball league. It was expected there would be at least four teams from across the Quinte area.

70 years ago — 1944

n A Picton man was quickly rising the ranks in the American army. Charles McWilliam was born in Picton and went to school in the county, before getting his medical degree from Queen’s University. He opened up a practice in Goshen, N.Y. and enlisted in the U.S. Army Medical Corps in 1942. He was commissioned as a Major and rose to the post of Colonel. n Of 1,014,498 men examined by the military, some 562, 150 were deemed unfit for front-line service. Of that group, just 23,415 were considered unfit for any type of military service. n C.G. Power, Canada’s air minister confirmed that the Picton air station would be carried on as a pre-aircrew educational school with the change taking effect around the end of the year. The school was expected to accommodate a load of 600 trainees for the Allied forces.

60 years ago — 1954

nMembers of the Kinsmen Club of Picton gathered in Belleville with other Kinsmen from across eastern Ontario to hear Kinsmen founder Hal Rogers talk about the origins of the club and the good works it had done in communities across Canada throughout its history. He said friendship was the big impetus of the club in its early days, but the focus had since transitioned to service. n An agreement was reached to set the basic price of tomatoes produced in Ontario at $30 a ton, with provisions to increase quota limits for farmers.

20 years ago — 1994

n The Kinsmen Club of Picton celebrated its 50th anniverary by presenting silver trays to charter members Sam Gentile, Dr. Ken McQueen, Art Hamblin, and Clealan Blakely during a celebration at the Picton arena. At that time, the club had 24 members and was hoping it could boost its numbers above 30. n Officials in Thurlow Township announced plans for a new development including a Wal-Mart near Belleville. Some business people were concerned the store would attract their customers.

Lots of activity at annual birding festival

I seem to remember that it was a chilly, winter day in 1997 when a handful of us gathered at a building on the outskirts of Picton to banter around the possibility of a spring birding festival. They had been successful elsewhere in the province. Why not here? The first one that same year was a simple affair, but successful enough to warrant repeating and expanding. Almost 20 years later, that event has evolved into a week-long program that now draws members of the binocular brigade from across Ontario, Quebec and parts of the U.S. Every year we try new things. Some are successful beyond belief, while others have been tried, and then abandoned due to low attendance. I remember one volunteer that first year or two offering his expertise and agreeing to hold a photography workshop. When asked how many he had, he replied enthusiastically that he had attracted three people, “Me and myself and I”. Today most workshops are full to capacity. The Spring Birding Festival still focuses its attention on Prince Edward Point, and for good reason. It is the site of the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory, the group that now works almost nonstop to organize this event annually. It is also a peninsula that attracts phenomenal numbers of birds in spring as they cross Lake Ontario. The migrants tend to “pile up” along this important stretch of land jutting into Lake Ontario as they recover from

the strenuous flight across open water. Once arrived, they begin to exploit the rich habitat for insect larvae before continuing on with their journey. It has been a long flight for many of these neotropical migrants — birds that spend their winters in the tropics, and migrate to Canada to breed. For some, like the delicate northern parula, a brilliant species of warbler that winters in Central America, it is an important refuelling station as it will continue flying north into the spruce and northern hardwoods of Ontario where it will finally stop to nest. Others like the blackpoll warbler arrive later as their route takes them from their wintering grounds in Brazil to perhaps as far north as the Yukon and Alaska to nest. Many casual observers are not aware, for example, that a bay-breasted warbler seen feasting on insect larvae at the

top of a shagbark hickory in the protected woods at Prince Edward Point, had likely dined with bananaquits and motmots in Ecuador only a few days earlier. It will forage its way along until it builds its nest in a few weeks in the Hudson Bay Lowlands somewhere. Just to get everyone revved up for the bird festival that takes place May 10 -19 there are a couple of workshops thrown in that precede the festival itself. Picton area birder Pamela Stagg will be introducing novices to bird identification on the weekend of April 26-27 in a “Boot Camp for Birders”. It’s a fun weekend of finding out just how much you really know, then building on that knowledge with an intense day of learning new birds – with a mini-field trip to learn how to use binoculars and a presentation on bird-friendly coffee. Day 2 will take you to rugged Prince Edward Point for a guided bird walk. Then you’ll have a special tour of bird banding operations at Prince Edward Point, followed by an introduction to birding by ear. I have the pleasure of assisting during one of those days, along with Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory board member Kathy Felkar and bander-incharge at the observatory, David Okines. The weekend concludes with a mini-birdathon. This boot camp will allow beginners to learn about birds ahead of time, and then come back and really enjoy the wide variety of birds that can be seen during the Festival.

with professional artists. Through the County Community Foundation, the County’s municipal grants program, and the Government of Ontario the organization is able to offer the experience for a second consecutive summer. Once again this year, the Festival Players Young Company will take its director from Eliza-Jane Scott, who directed Laura Secord last year and who

has also performed on local stages in Amela: The Girl Who Wants to Fly. Scott also recently completed a season performing at the National Arts Centre. The show the company members create this year will tour around the county in August. Those interested in taking part should apply by Monday by visiting www.festivalplayers.ca/young-company. They

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

The Saturday sessions take place at the Jackson’s Falls B & B at Milford. The following weekend at Jackson’s Falls B & B, Stagg will be “Birding Beyond the Basics” as she takes interested participants on a day-long adventure into how to identify birds more quickly and how to sort through the large variety of warbler and shorebird species that pass through our area every spring. There will be a mini-field trip to varied local habitats and a fascinating in-depth look at the life of everyone favourite bird, the common loon. During the Festival itself, Pamela will be doing a workshop on May 17 called “Tricks and Tricksters: Shortcuts to Bird Identification”, and I will be conducting a workshop the previous Saturday on “Those Confusing Sparrows” More information on these workshops and the entire spring birding festival can be found on my website at www.naturestuff.net by clicking on events from the Main Menu and scrolling down the page until you see them listed. Convenient links will direct you to the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory website where registration for all the above workshops can be made. Please join us if you can.

treats before treads The Prince Edward Family Health Team held a bake sale last Thursday in support

of the May 4 Hike For Hospice to help with Hospice Prince Edward’s residential hospice centre. Here, team member Kerry Ford shows off some of the delicious treats available at the end of the sale. Ford said both staff and patients supplied baked goods, while supporter Donna Frost also donated two throw blankets to raffle off. The team offered special thanks to Pat McCarron, who handled much of the organizing. Hospice volunteers Fran Renoy and Judy Fraser also gave time to help with the sale. Ford estimated more than $1,100 was raised during the third annual sale. (Adam Bramburger/ Gazette staff)

THE Ontario government announced Wednesday that it is looking at implementing a program which it says will help the average low-income family save about $15 a month on its electricity bills and it is also talking about taking the debt retirement charge of hydro bills, a move that will save the average Ontario family $5.60. The kicker, however, is that these savings won’t come into effect until 2016 — surely after a much-rumoured election will have taken place — and, a report in Wednesday’s Globe and Mail suggested that the implementation of that new program could mean higher energy costs for those with higher and middle incomes. Opposing members at Queen’s Park have suggested that the announcement the Liberals made is too general and it remains to be seen what residents may be saving and how they may be saving it. Surely,that’s two strikes for the program — it may not even come to fruition, for one, and second, it screams of a campaign promise considering the governing Liberals had years to give residents and businesses a break on rising energy costs as a way to stimulate the economy and they were adamantly against exempting basic heating and fuel costs from the HST, which would have offered some real savings for people trying to makes ends meet. With this province greatly in debt and struggling to get its economy going, it would be interesting to see the full plan of how the government proposes to pay for such a program and what economists believe the net result will be for those programs. Only then, can residents decide if the measures are something they’d like to support and only then can residents address their MPPs and riding associations to let them know if they want to see this minority government propped up or if they want to move forward with an election and have such ideas sold to them directly as voters. From this corner, it appears that Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals are intent on making several announcements such as the one they made on energy this week that will deliver more spending and programs that Ontario residents will think they can’t afford to be without. That could be their strategy they continue to prepare for a showdown at the polls that is starting to look more and more like one that will pit them directly against Tim Hudak’s Conservatives and one that pollsters are saying they might have a tough time winning, particularly among rural and northern ridings. Ontario residents have seen enough of that playbook, however, especially in the wake of a scandal to move two gas-powered energy plants (which were being built alongside solar and wind installations in a time when the province already produces a surplus of energy) out of the Greater Toronto Area at a cost reports have pegged in excess of $1 billion. Surely, they won’t fall for that again. It is very much election season in Ontario and every proposal, whether it is put forward by government or opposition, should be scrutinzed to see if it represents the best long-term interest of the province and if it all the facts are being brought to light.

Yoga, green day, healing with horses among May events

The month of May is shaping up to be a busy one at the library with a number of informative and fun events. At the Ameliasburgh Town Hall the library is offering a six-week yoga class with Hedy BrambatKellar. Classes start on Friday, May 2 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and run each Friday until June 6. Classes are by donation and registration is required either through Gisa at the Ameliasburgh branch of the library at 613968-9327 or by calling Barbara Sweet at 613-476-5962. All levels will be accommodated. Participants are asked to bring a yoga mat and wear comfortable, loose clothing. On Saturday, May 3 at the Picton branch of the library, join in for “Green Day – not the band”. The free day will begin at 10 a.m. with a one-hour talk and demonstration on how to make your own biodiesel with used vegetable oil. Norm Hart, who has presented seminars on this at St. Lawrence College, will be leading the workshop. From 11 a.m. to noon, Max Valyear of Green Wheel Farms will speak on SPIN farming, which stands for small plot intensive farming. He will also talk about his proposal for a sustainable urban farm education centre in Belleville. At noon, everyone is welcome to stay for a free lunch by Food Not Bombs. At 1 p.m., learn how to ‘Start Small’ and grow a bit of your own food. Michella Kaduc will offer ideas and inspiration for simple ways to garden.

On Thursday, May 8 at 7 p.m., a talk on Healing with Horses will be held at the Picton branch. The winter

weather prevented this presentation from happening as originally planned, and there has been a great deal of interest in our rescheduling.

The workshop takes place at the Picton branch from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is free.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Residents’ kindness to swans a royal service

Winter seems like a distant memory now, yet that December day my husband David and I joined the other volunteers at Glenwood Cemetery’s luncheon is still vivid. We needed help! The retirement pastime we had happily enjoyed for the past eight years was in jeopardy. We shared our thoughts with cemetery manager Helma Oonk. Every winter, each day, we take the ferry to Picton to feed William and Kate (our pet name for the resident Chinese geese). They share the pond each winter with almost 100 ducks who arrive to shelter. This year was different, my husband suffered an accident and was walking with a cane. We worried about weather conditions. Oonk immediately sprang into action, contracting both The County Weekly News and Gazette writers. Terry Sprague and Margaret Capon wrote

superb articles and from there, the story unfolds. The harshness of winter soon set in and the number of waterfowl became overwhelming. Our health prevailed and so did the good people of Picton. Our corn budget was blown in the early weeks. We were now buying four bags of corn a week and countless bags of bread, all carefully prepared into bite-sized pieces the night before. We were now making two trips a day. A 10foot brush was used to clear a feeding area in the deep snow for the frenzy of starving waterfowl. The days became bitterly cold and the pond became smaller, barely enough to accommodate the huddled brood, when a new boarder arrived. The new arrival was thin and weak, a once-majestic swan looked worse for wear. We promptly began a regimen of care and this poor

emaciated swan began to flourish. We named him George, of course. The pond now had William, Kate, and George. Every day, we carefully placed George’s corn into the water. George soon trusted us and soon a bond was formed. We watched him regain his strength and he even allowed us to pick him up when a failed effort to fly proved too much for him. We continued his care and he would immediately come to us when called. Winter was cold and harsh, but somehow made much warmer for this experience. George has gone now, back to where he should be. I must admit, I shed a tear or two when he left. The day before he left, as we were leaving, he made a magnificent sweep of the pond and a strange sound. I think he knew he was going and it was his good-bye. Good luck

George, God bless you. I am glad you found Glenwood and William and Kate. I would like to thank each and every resident who came by with food, Helma and Steve Glenwood, Sprague and Capon, the snow plough driver who kept Glenwood clear, the ferry crew for a safe crossing the ladies of the Auxiliary Second Time Around Shop for warm boots, the Picton Recreation Committee for warm scarves, Tim Hortons’ amazing staff for the French Vanilla and English toffee, Sobeys cashiers who always asked about George, and Giant Tiger for its great bread specials and friendly staff. Look at all these great people. People don’t do things to be recognized, but it’s nice to be recognized for what you do. Alice and Dave Braidford Adolphustown

Industry rep says neonicotinoids safe, valuable tool Regarding “Residents to ask council to regulate neonicotinoids”, The Picton Gazette, April 10, 2014 When it comes to pollinator health, Prince Edward County resident Kate MacNaughton, who spoke on behalf of the “Bee-Active” group at the last committeeof-the-whole meeting, is right; with practical solutions, farmers and beekeepers can find a model that benefits everyone. But MacNaughton fails to understand that this will certainly not be achieved by arbitrarily imposing a ban on neonicotinoids, which are a safe and valuable tool for

farmers looking to protect their crops. Pollinator health is a complex issue. There are a host of factors that can – and do – pose a risk to bees including the varroa mite, disease, and weather. An important opportunity to look at the multitude of challenges facing bee health is being missed by those who blame all bee health problems on neonicotinoids. We should be working collaboratively to find meaningful, long-term solutions to bee health challenges that will ensure a productive and sustainable agricultural system. CropLife Canada and its

members are committed to the responsible use of all of our products. We are confident about their safety because we know that pesticides receive a greater breadth of scrutiny than any other regulated product in Canada. Seed treatments, in particular, are a valuable part of modern agriculture because they are intended to minimize exposure of nontarget organisms. Farmers understand that bees play a critical role in agriculture and they have embraced best management practices for the planting of treated seed to further protect pollinators.

Our industry is actively engaged with farmers, beekeepers, governments and the seed industry on a number of projects aimed at improving bee health. We have been working on pollinator-friendly habitat projects and investing in research to provide beekeepers with more information about bee health and managing hive pests. For more information on pollinator health, I encourage readers to visit www.croplife.ca. Pierre Petelle Vice-president, chemistry CropLife Canada

Barn quilt trail project making process Painting sessions now underway for potential county tourist attraction AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

The proponents of a barn quilt trail for Prince Edward County continue moving closer toward making their vision a reality. Last Monday, organizer Pat Dubyk had a group of ladies over to her home to paint the first eight-byeight mural, which she hopes will one day be hanging on a barn between Bloomfield and Wellington. Dubyk explained the eight-foot square pieces of art are the most common size of installation on barn quilt tours and the pattern

her guests, known as the Expressive Arts Play Day group, chose to work on is considered a classic. “It’s called ‘Log Cabin’ and it’s one of the most traditional patterns you can find,” Dubyk said. The ladies painted the geometric patterns on four smaller pieces of board, which they intended to put together when complete. Ultimately, the piece of art would be taken to farm owners as an example of what they could have on their properties. Dubyk said, in general, the patterns are largely colourful, but are often not too detailed as the idea of a barn quilt trail is to add art installations that a visitor can enjoy while travelling by car at a high speed limit along a rural road. Aside from the art itself,

Dubyk said her small steering committee also received some good news in the form of grant money through the Ontario Barn Quilt Trails Association. She indicated that umbrella group has received some Trillium Foundation funding and Prince Edward County has been successful in receiving a portion of that to help it with promotion of the fledgling trail. The general public can become involved by way of a workshop Baxter Arts Centre in Bloomfield on Tuesday, May 13 from 6:309:30 p.m. There will be a cost of $25 for materials and Dubyk has advertised the event as one where people can take home their work to post on outdoor structures on their own properties.

“But they want you to pay no mind to what else was said in the interview concerning remote viewing, telekinesis and communicating telepathically with pathfinders...I would submit you can't have it both ways.” In submitting her factum, Crown attorney Jodi Whyte said in spite of his medical illness, Jeffery knew what he was doing was morally wrong and the stabbing death was sparked by his primary caregiver denying him the keys to the rented automobile. “My theory is that he is a very ill young man. His mother took care of him, she was his caregiver. She didn't push him on taking his medication. His father wanted him to get a job and stop lounging around the house all day. The day of her murder, Jeffery was hearing the same thing from his mother. When he says give me the car keys and she kept saying no, he killed her because it was clear his primary care giver was telling him 'enough' and 'grow up' His motive was simple — it's a fellow in need and she said ‘no.’ It was clear she had turned on him,” Whyte told the court. While both psychiatrists found Jeffery to have not known he was stabbing his mother and that the young man thought it was some random person, Whyte wondered how they could have arrived at such a conclusion.

It wasn't until his last interview with Smyth that Jeffery started talking about a command hallucination that told him to get the keys of the rental car at any cost and Pallandi called it highly unusual that it was the first command hallucination Jeffery had ever had. In Whyte's view, the command hallucination also kept changing. During an interview with Dr. Jonathon Rootenberg, Jeffery said the voice told him to get the car keys and would've kept ridiculing him until he either completed the task or he killed himself. But Whyte countered that with Pallandi's assessment report in which Jeffery said the command was vague and that he trusted the voice and wasn't scared of it. In both psychiatric reports, the physicians come to the same conclusion that in all probability, Jeffery didn't know who he was stabbing and that Elaine Jeffery was a random person to her son at that tragic moment. In taped interviews with the accused and police just days after the murder, Beau Jeffery uses terms like 'she' and 'her' when describing the stabbing at which point Smyth stopped him and said “Your mom?” or “Elaine?” and Jeffery would confirm that's who he was referring to. Scott is expected to hand down his decision at the courthouse on Wednesday, April 30.

Four quick steps to licence renewal for seniors 80-plus

Once a person turns 80, they need to renew their driver’s licence every two years. According to the Ministry of Transportation web site there are four main steps a person has to take to renew. Starting with your 80th birthday, you will get two things in the mail, a renewal form and a letter that will let you know what to do to renew. This letter and form will arrive about 90 days before your licence expires. Once you get your form and letter in the mail, you will need to attend a renewal session. To book the appointment, you will need to call 1-800-396-4233 (toll free) and give your driver’s licence number. You should also tell them if you have any language barriers. You will get the date, time and location of your renewal session. Sessions are held at 125 locations across the province, including in Picton. If you can’t attend that day, you can reschedule your appointment once. If the next appointment is only available after your driver’s licence expires, you can get a temporary permit. If you’re out of Ontario when you need to renew you can check the website for instructions on what to do. Total time commitment at the renewal session isabout 90 minutes. Bring these things to the session: your driver's licence (or temporary driver's licence); the licence renewal form you got in the mail; the eye glasses you use for driving; hearing aids, if you need them; a bottle of water (some locations will not have water available); snacks, if you need them (e.g., are diabetic or know you will need a snack). At a renewal session, you will:take a vision test; join others in a 45-minute interactive group education session about new traffic laws, how aging affects driving, tips for older drivers and road signs; take a multiple-choice test about rules of the road and traffic signs; complete an in-class screening exercise; and undergo a driving record review. After the session, you may need to pass a road test before you can renew your licence and follow up with your physician and submit medical information. A driver improvement counsellor at the group education session will discuss this with you, if necessary. After you finish the session and take the required tests, you will need to visit a ServiceOntario centre to get a new driver’s licence card. You will need to bring your written test results and original identification that shows

your legal name, date of birth and signature. ServiceOntario will process your test results and renew your licence. ServiceOntario Centre is at 1 Pitt Street in Picton. With regard to the vision test, a screen reader is used to test your vision. You will need to wear the eyeglasses you use for driving and be sure to bring your most current glasses, if your prescription has been recently updated. If you have a certificate from an eye doctor no vision test is needed at the session. You will need to bring a signed and dated certificate. The document must be signed/dated within six months of the session. With regard to the inclass screening, you will have 10 minutes to finish the exercise. The exercise is not dependent on language and can't be taken orally. Information will be available at Ontario.ca/seniordriver, including samples of the screening exercise you will complete. You don't need to prepare, but you cantake the practice screening exercise to help you understand the instructions and feel comfortable with the exercises. The screening exercise consists of two assessments of a person’s cognitive capabilities relevant to driving. Each of the assessments taps into a different type of ability: clock drawing measures a driver’s capacity to recognize and organize information (visu-

ospatial ability) and letter cancellation: measures a driver’s capacity to coordinate thinking with doing (psychomotor speed). Drivers are always encouraged to refresh their knowledge of driving in general by reading the Driver’s Handbook. Community Care offers a 55-Alive mature driver refresher course that was developed by the Canada Safety Council. Some people find this to be a helpful course to take prior to their renewal. Call the office for upcoming dates and get your name on the list for the next course. It’s 6 hours, lunch and workbook is included for $30 per person.

TAX DEADLINE IS APRIL 30

Community Care is once again completing income tax returns for seniors who live in Prince Edward County. If you are a senior 60-plus whose single income is $30,000 or lower or whose household income is $40,000 or lower, you may be eligible for the program. Volunteers have been

trained by Canada Revenue Agency to complete Income Tax Returns for eligible clients. Volunteers do not complete income tax and benefit returns for: deceased persons, bankrupt individuals; for those with more than $1,000 of investment income; for individuals with capital gains/losses; or for people with business or rental income and expenses. There is no charge, donations are accepted. Home visits can be arranged for seniors who are shut-in. For information call 613-476-7493.

RURAL REASSURANCE

In partnership with Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Prince Edward Community Care can arrange for your mail courier en route to keep a watchful eye on your home to help keep you safe. This service is free, offering added safety and security to those living in the country. To participate in this service, call Prince Edward Community Care at 613-476-7493.

Children's literacy is at the forefront of a project run by The Written Word Committee of the Prince Edward County Arts Council. County Kids Read has been supporting literacy for children in the County for three years. It started when the members of The Written Word Committee looked at literacy scores in the County and wanted to create something for kids in the county similar to the County Reads event which is held each year, to encourage literacy and love of reading. The Committee drew inspiration from a couple of existing programs in Canada and the United States. “Having books in the home is crucial,� said com-

mittee member Anne Preston. County Kids Read works to provide free books of good quality to as many kids as possible. There are various reading levels, genres and subjects available for kids to choose from at any of the organizations that County Kids Read partners with. “We are also trying to match the right book to the right child,� said Preston. The organizations all work closely to make sure that books kids are showing interest in are always available. Each organization has a representative they work with to get as many books out to kids as possible The committee works with local organizations to do this. This ever expanding project is currently

working with eight organizations within the programs run at these organizations. Hundreds of books are provided for the organizations to give to children each month. The organizations County Kids Read partners with and the approximate number of books they give to kids each month are as follows: the Recreation Outreach Centre, 100; Storehouse Wellington Foodbank, 100, Picton United Church County Food Bank, 50, Prince Edward Family Health Team, 50;, Reaching for Rainbows, 30; Highland Shores Children's Aid Society, 50; the Hub, 60; and Prince Edward County Learning Centre, 35 books.

tions they are encouraged to choose a book. The books are not lent out, but are given for the kids to keep at home and enjoy as many times as they want. “We want to layer literacy through the organizations,� said Preston. The committee didn't create a new program but decided to work organization-to- organization as a community. The grassroots organization grows and expands to meet the needs of their partner organizations and their programs to ensure that county children will always have access to a variety of books. Though the committee initially took donations of gently used books, no book donations are needed at this time thanks to a generous donation from an anonymous donor of many book. Don't be fooled by the grassroots title, County Kids Read is very organized and well planned. But volunteers are needed to help keep it running smoothly. Volunteers unpack, log, stamp, categorize and disperse the books to the other organizations. There are no meetings and the atmosphere is light hearted while volunteers work. County Kids Read is also in need of donations to run smoothly. Money is needed for shelves, stamps, labels and various other materials to organize and disperse the books as efficiently as possible. The committee has heard a lot of positive feedback and want to continue to provide books for kids for years to come. Preston and the other committee members are thankful that St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church in Picton lets them use space in the parish hall to work out of.

Missing boater’s body found on West Lake last week

S. RUTHERFORD

A body recovered from West Lake last Wednesday afternoon is that of missing fisherman Gordon “Sandy' Rutherford. Prince Edward OPP reported Rutherford's body was located on West Lake by a local resident while operating his air boat. Rutherford went missing on Oct. 19, 2013 while fishing on West Lake. The area was searched extensively by air, water and shoreline in

Council finalizes dates, times for fall election

County electors have plenty of lead time to know when they’re able to vote in advanced polls prior to the Oct. 27 municipal election. At its regular meeting Tuesday night, council formally approved Saturday, Oct. 18 as a day for advance voting with voting stations to be set up at the Prince Edward Community Centre, Ameliasburgh Town Hall, Wellington and District Community Centre, and Milford Town Hall from noon to 6 p.m. Voters are also able to take advantage of a new Internet polling initiative, which would allow them to vote from Oct. 18 to Oct. 27 in the comfort of their own homes or offices. The County will send out voter notification cards in early October with information on how to proceed with voting online. Mayor Peter Mertens said in a news release that he was pleased his council could agree to move forward with the changes. “It is so important for the community to participate in the election process and these changes will make it easier than ever before for people to exercise their right to vote.” The recommendations approved in a bylaw Tues-

Marina pumps to remain in operation

Boaters looking to Prince Edward County shores as a place to fill their fuel tanks won’t have to look beyond Picton after all this summer. After County council decided last week to close the pumps at the Picton marina to allow for the mandatory replacement of fuel tanks and lines, the municipality received a reprieve from the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA). Following further discussions, the TSSA agreed to permit the marina to continue dispensing fuel until Oct. 15 in an effort to minimize the impact of its orders on residents, the tourism industry and the local economy. As a result of the decision, the County has now rescheduled work to replace the fuel equipment until after Oct. 16, 2014. Once a construction schedule is finalized, the municipality has indicated it will issue public service announcements in order to help communicate any possible service disruptions that may result from the project moving forward in the future months. -Staff

day were developed in consultation with a residents’ resources focus group that helped ensure the municipality could maximize benefits to candidates and electors through the additional opportunities to vote. The County’s staff and councillors have set a 60per-cent voter turnout as their goal for this year’s election. Four years ago in 2011, overall turnout was a shade over 47 per cent despite the fact that there were races for mayor and for each of the 10 wards represented on council. Electors can ensure they are eligible to vote by visiting www.voterlookup.ca or calling 1-866-296-6722 to confirm they are on the voters’ list and information is up-to-date. The service is available immediately.

A post-mortem exami-

nation was conducted last week and the cause of death of the Wellington resident is not suspicious.

Treating your soil with the right fertilizer to provide proper nutrition for plants necessary for the average home gardener who is seeing healthy and vigorous plants in the garden. There are two avenues to explore when you think about adding and maintaining nutrients in your soil; chemical or organic. The advantage to using an organic fertilizer such as compost or manure or fish emulsion is that they improve soil composition as they add nutrients. A second advantage is that they can be free if you have a compost pile or live near a sheep farm as I do. The disadvantage is that they are slow release as it takes time for materials to break down in the soil and release their nutrients for plant

absorption. They are not easily measured in terms of their content of nutrients and if you don’t have access to your own organic matter, they can be more expensive. An application of compost regularly in the spring and again in the fall dug into the first couple of inches significantly improves soil composition and nourishes your plants just fine. I am an advocate of using organic fertilizers whenever possible. The advantage of chemical fertilizers is that they are readily available on the market, are accurate in terms of the nutrients that are contained in each bag or tub and are generally easier to apply than top dressing and digging in or-

the plant. Phosphorous is responsible for root development and potassium regulates the plant’s metabolism for stress tolerance while promoting fruiting and flowering. Because nitrogen is very mobile in the soil it is the most likely of the three elements to be deficient in the average home garden. As a Master Gardener, I subscribe to a blog that is for Master Gardeners by Master Gardeners and I was really interested to learn about the likely over-use of phosphorous fertilizers in home gardening which I thought I would share with you. Linda Chalker-Scott, Ph.D, at the Puyallup Research and Extension Centre of Washing-

ganic matter. The disadvantage is that they do absolutely nothing to improve soil composition, are short lived in the soil, being easily leached, and they are more expensive than free compost or a neighbor’s manure pile. However, when a nutrient deficiency is evident, a commercial fertilizer is often the correct fix as it is immediately available to the plant’s take-up system unless it is a slow-release variety. Chemical fertilizers are labeled in a combination of three macro elements, nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K). Nitrogen is responsible for the greening and growing of plants and in assisting other nutrients to be absorbed into

Take care of the soil and the soil will take care of the plants; that’s my motto. Excessive water in the form of melting snow and rain leaches nutrients from the soil that need to be replenished. If you notice yellowing of plant leaves it is possible that you could have soil that is nutrient deficient. One way to ensure that you know what your soil needs is to have a soil test done at a licensed testing facility. A list of those facilities is available on the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture’s web site, omafra.gov.on.ca. Some experts recommend soil testing every three to five years. I personally don’t believe that regular testing is

KATHY MACPHERSON

ton State University, wrote a paper “The Myth of Phosphate Fertilizer: phosphate fertilizers will stimulate root growth of transplanted trees and shrubs.” In that paper, Dr. Scott dismisses the notion that the average gardener needs to add phosphorous to their soil, maintaining it is abundant in the soil but often rendered unavailable to the plant because of a lack of nitrogen. She also maintains that over application of phosphorous competes with iron and manganese uptake in roots, causing interveinal yellowing. In addition, phosphorous is harmful to a beneficial fungus that is found in the soil which aids in plant absorption of nutrients and without which the plant will expend more energy growing additional roots and root hairs to accomplish the same task. In high concentration it is actually toxic in the soil. Phosphorous is proven to be harmful to waterways as it induces algal blooms, lowering oxygen levels in the water leading to the death of fish and other animals. So, while phosphorous is a crucial element for plant health and is often recommended for transplants to stimulate growth, it is already in the soil, doesn’t move around much and doesn’t need to be added except in the case of agricultural fields where crops deplete it. Given that new insight, here’s what I recommend: Apply compost, manure and other organic matter to your garden to keep your soil friable and provide a steady and slow release of micro and macro nutrients to your plants. Mulch your garden to conserve moisture and reduce stress on plant roots. If you have yellowing plants, try a little boost of nitrogen in the form of ammonium nitrate and see if it fixes the problem. When using a chemical fertilizer, look for one with a lower “P” than “N’ and “K”. Remember that the “K” promotes fruits and flowers which are desirable in our summer gardens. Fertilize the lawn with a high nitrogen fertilizer in early spring to promote green-up and again in the fall with a fertilizer especially formulate for fall application. And don’t forget to fertilize containers throughout the growing season. Most potting soil contains only enough nutrients to feed the plants for a few weeks. If you have a gardening question, send it to askamastergardener@xplornet.com or better yet, come see us at our annual Master Gardener’s plant sale on Saturday, May 24 beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Picton Metro parking lot and share your gardening experiences and questions with us.

Habitat offering volunteer orientation for Picton build project tomorrow Session at the Regent Theatre at noon to offer worksite safety, scheduling info ADAm BrAmBurgEr

Staff writer

Habitat For Humanity Prince Edward-Hastings is moving along steadily with its Picton build and it will soon need volunteers to help raise a home. After digging a hole at 7 York Street last week, crews looked to be preparing to pour the foundation for the basement yesterday. With that progress ongoing, the charitable organization is moving ahead with plans to their labour tomorrow. At noon hour at the Regent Theatre, just steps away from the build, Habitat will host a volunteer orientation session. “This free session will focus on worksite safety, how to organize team builds, and show off our office’s new online volunteer calendar,” said Habitat’s volunteer co-ordinator Sylvia Draaistra. She indicated the new tool will allow visitors to see the schedule for the build site and choose a timetable for their work with the project. Once volunteers are registered with the charity, they will be given an access code

for the web site. Earlier this year, prior to the groundbreaking for Habitat’s fourth Picton home, Draaistra indicated volunteers would be needed to help the Matthews family to actually build their new home, under the direction of experienced contractor Charlie Poisson. Time spent on the site can offer volunteers knowledge about building and renovating, a feeling of giving back to the community, and a chance for bonding with co-workers or teammates. Volunteer support is also required to provide food for volunteers, and to help raise the approximately $50,000 the project is seeking from community donors. A light lunch will be served at the orientation. Draaistra said there are many ways individuals and businesses within the county can support the build without volunteering directly on site. To find out more about specific opportunities, please contact Draaistra directly by e-mail at Sylvia.draaistra@habitatpeh.org or by phone at 613969-1415 ext. 207.

Study suggests first-quarter home sales continue to rise

A market study released by Hartford and Stein Real Estate Ltd. shows that first quarter detached home sales in Prince Edward County are up in 2014 over the same period in 2013. Sales representative Treat Hull has reviewed more than 3,500 MLS property listings and sales in the county, dating back to 2011. He says the numbers continue to show promise. “Seventy-two detached homes sold during the first three months of 2014, a gain of two sales over the same time last year despite the worst winter weather in living memory,” he said. “Overall, quarterly sales are up 22 per cent in the last three years.” Hull indicated the number of homes listed on the market last quarter fell to 224, compared to 277 in 2013. He indicated that is the lowest number on the market in the past three years. He indicated he didn’t know what caused the shortage in listings.

“Only time will tell what was behind the drop in listings, the winter weather or a change in seller sentiment, but in the meantime it suggests a more favourable market for sellers in the short run.” -Staff

united By the gAme A PECI Panthers split-squad team, at right, poses with their opponents, the Hewlett Bulldogs, after a game Saturday. The Panthers played games with teams from Hewlett, Valley Stream South, and Lawrence during their time on Long Island. Coach Matt Ronan said the Panthers’ opponents were already about a dozen games into their season, which helped them provide formidable competition in the games the squads played during the Panthers’ Easter weekend tour. (Submitted photo)

New York offers grand slam of memories for Panthers PECI baseball players receive far more than a preseason tune-up by scheduling weekend exhibition tour in the Big Apple AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

The PECI Baseball Panthers didn't hit, nor field particularly well over the course of their barnstorming tour to New York City last weekend, but coach Matt Ronan wasn't concerned. "In the end, that didn't matter," Ronan said. "The focus of this trip was not winning baseball games, it was giving the boys an experience they will never forget." It's easy to see why the coach wasn't concerned yet. Boarding the bus for the 10hour trip to the Big Apple, the Panthers had yet to make the final trims to their roster. They took 22 ball players to play for two teams, yet when they kick off the Bay of Quinte loop Monday with Centennial visiting Wellington at 4 p.m. there will be 18 players on one roster. They also had to play some baseballonly athletes already in mid-season form. "Playing against us, these teams were was into their 12th game of the season. We have yet to even step on grass this year," Ronan indicated. "Our competition was excellent." A year ago to start a season that saw the Panthers wind up as Bay of Quinte

players and coaches, parents, and Prince Edward Minor Baseball supporters were able to see two New York Mets games, including one from this field-level suite. (Submitted photo)

champions, the PECI team had a similar experience as they travelled to the hallowed baseball grounds in Cooperstown. There, they found stiff competition to prepare for the year, but also broader lessons about the game they loved at Doubleday Field and the Baseball Hall of Fame. This year, Ronan said his veterans approached him about doing something similar. They suggested the possibility of New York

City, which happened to be familiar ground for the coach, who grew up on Long Island as the son of a New York City police officer. "Last year's trip was a great bonding experience and it culminated at the end of tryouts. It was a tremendous success," he said. "After the boys approached me again, I contacted my old high school and found some contacts about who we might be

able to play there." With the help of Prince Edward County Minor Baseball, Ronan set up a trip that would cost more than $13,000, which could have been a prohibitive $600 per player. Ultimately, the community got behind the idea of the trip and there was a huge outpouring of support from businesses, farm operations, and even a few widows donating on behalf of their husbands. Bernard Chap-

man, a longtime umpire who passed away last fall, was one such man who recognized the value of the trip and wanted to see local youth participate. Ronan said the way the county came together to help was "Incredibly inspiring." "That makes me think more about where I spent my money," he said. "Twenty-two high school kids got memories of a lifetime thanks to businesses in Prince Edward County." The Panthers contingent went to a New York Mets game at CitiField upon arrival Friday night, then put in a full day of baseball with split-squad doubleheaders against the Valley Stream South and Hewlett varsity and junior varsity Saturday. Sunday featured 12 hours touring Manhattan, including a stop outside Madison Square Garden before a Rangers game, some free time on the subway and in Central Park, and what Ronan described as as much adventure the players could safely have to gain an experience in the big city. The team also had a second opportunity to attend a Mets' game, where a team staffer hooked them up with a field-side suite and the players were able

to talk to Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson and chide his Atlanta counterparts. A tired combined Panthers' team took the field again Monday to face Lawrence High School before boarding the bus for a long trip home with a good number of stories left to tell. Ronan said there were also some neat cultural exchanges between the players on both sides of the exchanges. He said many of the New York players were asking about Canada's notoriously cold weather conditions and a lot of them couldn't fathom the idea they were playing a school from a community where one could count the traffic lights on one hand or where someone would have to drive for miles to find the shopping they'd find on one block. Fittingly, of course, all the players were united by their love for the game. Going into the Bay of Quinte season, Ronan says he expects the Panthers will find their way to contend again as he said he didn't feel any team in the eightteam loop had quite the depth that the Panthers have throughout the lineup.

Abrams pleased with players’ intensity in return to Wellington after long layoff Dukes showing coach they’re ready to compete for Dudley Hewitt Cup Jason Parks

Staff writer

The priming and pumping continues this week at Essroc Arena as the Wellington Dukes are on the hunt for another Dudley Hewitt Cup championship. Winners of the central Canadian crown in 2003 and 2011, the locals have a direct berth into the fourteam tournament thanks to the fact they are hosting the 2014 event. Three other clubs will be dragging their playoff weary bodies here this weekend in advance of round-robin play which gets underway Tuesday night. While the OJHL championship was decided earlier this week when the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots toppled the Aurora Tigers in six games for the Buckland Cup, the series to cement the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and the Superior Junior Hockey League clubs that will vie for the Dudley Hewitt Championship and a birth to the Royal Bank Cup have been extended. In the NOJHL, the upstart Kirkland Lake Gold Miners knocked off the prohibitive favourite Soo Thun-

derbirds in Game 6 for the Copeland Cup Tuesday night. Further north, the Fort Frances Lakers and Minnesota Iron Rangers played Game 7 of the 2014 Bill Salonen Cup last night. While these teams will undoubtedly be banged up when they get to Prince Edward County, the Dukes will be fresher than fresh as they bowed out of the 2014

Buckland Cup playoffs in the opening round. However, the champions of the Ontario-based Junior Hockey Leagues will be battle tested, something the Dukes cannot claim. So what's more valuable in a week-long, round-robin tournament? Rest or readiness? Well, we are about to find out. Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams

was pretty clear to the club that they needed to come back to Wellington in shape after being ousted by the Cobourg Cougars in round one in early March And the Dukes look lithe in practice, perhaps sensing an opportunity to rectify an unceremonious five game bouncing in the opening round. “Overall, they came back in good shape,” Abrams told the Gazette Monday. “A lot of them put the work in, some more than others, but the first week of practice was outstanding. It was high paced and competitive.” In addition to the rostered team, a number of floating affiliates have trickled into Wellington including a familiar face in Brian Bunnett. The only link to the 2011 Dudley Hewitt Cup championship squad (unless you count Kyle Paat who was playing for the opposing Huntsville Otters in that tournament) has been working through the lines at practice this week and looks ready to play a role with his former Junior A club. If you recall, Bunnett burst on the scene in 20102011, drawing all kinds of attention and praise from several corners including the Ontario Hockey Association who named the Clarington native its top prospect that season. “It seems like yesterday

we were acquiring him, getting the deal done through the Bowmanville-Cobourg merger and then watching him take off and have an amazing year,” Abrams recalled. But disaster struck that summer of 2011 as Bunnett was involved in a car accident, badly breaking his leg. “We had to watch it all evaporate with this tragic car accident. It just doesn't seem like it wasn't three years ago,” Abrams added. But rehabilitation and a top-end program in Picton has allowed Bunnett to regain much of the form that put him on the 2011 NHL draft watch list. “The big reason he went to the Pirates in the first place was he couldn’t practice every day and play 55 games. His leg wouldn't

allow it. But he has not shown any issues like he did two years ago when he was first cleared,” Abrams said. “So far, he's looked sharp and he's come in with a fantastic attitude.” Bunnett isn't the only Picton interloper as Ken Murduff has made the squad and could get some time on the blue line. Also on the blueline will be Braydon Blight, a former Kingston Frontenac that will add grit and size to a defensive corps that could use that sand paper, especially if Chad Thibodeau winds up on a forward line. While there was only one confirmed opponent as of Monday, Abrams saw some similarity in the Patriots to his 2011 club.

Survived by sister Pat Stafford and nephews Gary (Nancy) and Scott (Vicki) and niece Gail (Alan) Scott and their families. Good friend of Chris Mackay. Ann was a nurse with the Canadian Forces for 27 years. She was well travelled and her wit and forthrightness will be remembered by all who knew her.

1991, during which time he championed the integration of microcomputers in engineering education at Queen's, and worked tirelessly to encourage more women to pursue engineering. He enjoyed his teaching immensely, as well as his research and consulting activities in the field of statistical quality control, continual improvement, and model estimation. He eventually formed his own consulting firm, which allowed him the pleasure of frequent travel and the opportunity to consult with those in his field both in North America and abroad. David was the recipient of many awards over the years, including the D.G. Fisher Award for major contributions to the field of systems and control awarded by the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering, the Ontario Council of University Faculty Associations Award for excellence in teaching, and the Distinguished Service Award from Queen's University. We believe his 'Golden Apple' awards for excellence in teaching from the Queen's Engineering Society were among those he treasured the most. He often said that the great loves of his life were his family, his work, and the many opportunities he was afforded to teach and to travel. We will miss him greatly. The family would like to thank the wonderful doctors, nurses and other staff in the Intensive Care Units of the Belleville and Kingston General Hospitals who cared for David and who provided all of us with compassion and excellent care. A memorial service will be held at the James Reid Funeral Home in Kingston, Ontario, on Saturday, May 3, 2014, at 2:00 p.m., with reception to follow. The family would like to request that those attending the service please refrain from the use of fragrances due to a severe allergy in the family.

PECFN put its best foot forward

THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2014

Under-19 soccer league to take on hockey model

See COSTS, from page 1

“We will also be able to use this argument for an appeal against paying any legal costs to Gilead or the ministry.” Wood said the case is an important one for environmental law in the province. “The notice of intention to seek leave to appeal has attracted increasing expressions of support for PECFN’s opposition to industrialization of the South Shore IBA,” Wood said. “We believe that this important test of Ontario environmental law encourages other environmental and legal organizations to apply to intervene in the appeal.” The release says the extent of turbine projects planned for the area could mean a major impact on migratory birds. “The cumulative effect of proposed turbine projects surrounding eastern Lake Ontario creating a barrier across the eastern flyway of migrating birds and bats is a concern for all naturalists,” the release says. “If approved, these projects will displace wildlife from shorelines, the most important staging and resting habitats for many species.” Anderson said if the appeal request isn't approved, it basically means Gilead will be able to begin construction. “Gilead will be able to go ahead and start the destruction of Ostrander Point,” she said. She said it will be tough for the group to take if that happens, but she said they will have put forth their best effort. “What we have to do is as much as we can do. If we've done as much as we can do, that's all we can do,” said Anderson. “That's the philosophy, we're committed to doing as much as we can do.”

Art in the County seeks show entries

The Prince Edward County Arts Council recently announced the jurors for the 21st annual Art in the County exhibit, which will be held June 21 to July 13 at Books & Company. This year, Terry Koyman of Koyman Galleries in Ottawa, Peer Christensen of Christensen Fine Art in Peterborough and Heather Grindley, a mixed media artist and elected member of the Ontario Society of Artists and Society of Canadian Artists will jury the show. To enter art in the exhibit, artists must be residents or ratepayers of Prince Edward County and members of the Prince Edward County Arts Council. They are invited to enter up to two pieces of art in any medium that have been created since last year’s show. Those artists can complete a form from the web at www.artinthecounty.com by June 9 and deliver entered works on Sunday, June 22 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. for the jury process at Books & Company. Reviewing will take place that day. -Staff

Easter fun in South Marysburgh

Some of the largest crowds in memory turned out for the South Marysburgh recreation committee’s Easter parade and egg hunt. At top, many well-dressed egg hunters raced to find prizes. At left, Sage Noxon enjoyed petting Jen Ackerman’s bunnies. At centre, Asher Roloson chose to share his eggs with Chloe Parker. At right, Isabella Guay visited from Montreal and made a lovely bonnet at the lilbrary. At left, Cadence Kiss was motoring in the parade driving cousin Rae-Lee Currie. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

The Prince Edward County Soccer Association will be introducing an exciting change to the Under 19 age bracket this season. Rather than the traditional 11 player teams competing on the fullsize regulation field, a sixplayer-per-team format playing on a smaller field with smaller goals will be used. These changes will introduce a faster-paced game, with everyone getting much more playing time. The six-on-six game flows in a similar way to hockey, with a goalkeeper and five runners on the field. Changes can be made on the fly, and there are no off-sides. Player formations can vary a great deal, permitting a wide variety of game strategies to be used. With much more participation during the game, soccer skills improve at an accelerated rate. The changes are being implemented to encourage greater player enrollment and increase the number of teams competing. Pam McRae, president of the Prince Edward County Soccer Association, states that “Soccer is all about fun, and this format is going to bring about a lot of excitement for this age group. The players are going to have a great time with this unique game format, and have a memorable summer playing in the league.” Interested players must sign-up on-line by the April 30th deadline. The website for registering in the Prince Edward County Soccer League is www.pecsa.ca. -Jason Parks, Staff

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2014

Ronan excited about Boating enthusiast, organizer Sibthorpe dies at 82 team depth this year

"I don't think there's a deeper team in our league," he said. "I do know that we're the ones with the targets on our back. That's good because we want to be pushed." The coach indicated he's got some great depth back, led by veterans like Matt Gallo, Bob Wilson, and Kyle Gould, however the team will have to replace longtime starters and leaders at the pivotal positions of catcher and centrefield. Ronan said he is looking forward to seeing how some of the young depth players may compete for roster spots. "We have a very good group of Grade 10s," he said. "If they work hard, they'll have a chance to earn some playing time." He said that group includes the likes of Max Manlow, who showed some promise pitching in New York and Kevin Wilson and Gavin Ronan, who managed to get a bit of playing time last year as Grade 9s. With a team like the Panthers, that's a pretty rare feat. "We encourage Grade 9s and 10s to try out, but we tell

them they're probably not going to play a lot. In general, we're not looking for 2014, we're looking for 2017," he said. "That's tough when you're used to that instant gratification, but they buy into that concept of development. They celebrated hard when we won last year and they all came back." Ronan cautioned, however, that any player on the roster can earn playing time and his players should refrain from making assumptions about their fit in the lineup. "No position is set in stone. The depth chart hasn't even been created yet," he said. Following their game against the Chargers Monday, the Panthers will host the Quinte Saints next Thursday at 4 p.m. at the Field of Dreams provided the field is ready for play. The Bay of Quinte schedule this year is an eight-game affair with the Panthers facing each of the other teams once. The schedule features a pair of tournaments, May 12 and May 21, in Melrose with all the teams playing. Playoffs are slated to begin and finish the week of May 26.

JOHN SIBTHORPE

He did all this while serving his customers and travelling around North America himself to race. Among his highlights as a driver included winning a

35-mile race between Waupoos and Picton. Sibthorpe, known affectionately as “Shakey,� was contributed much in the role of organizer however. he was instrumental in a group that brought Gold Cup racing back to the county for a 20-year span between 1972-1992. Working with the likes of Al Lytle, Jack Lyons, Ron Denard, Jack Wells, and John B. Cole, he helped start a tradition that brought many tourists and a great amount of money into the local economy. Sibthorpe was also a pioneer in the sport outside his chosen community as he helped set up hydroplane racing in Toronto and in Mexico with a contingent of

helpers from the county. In 1968, Sibthorpe turned his attention away from the water as he helped clear land and organize the Macaulay Mountain Ski Club in Picton. Sibthorpe was among the first eight inductees to the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame in 2012, where he was inducted as both an athlete and a builder. With wife Phyllis, Sibthorpe was a father to three children and was loved by several grandchildren, great grandchildren, and step grandchildren. He lived at the Hallowell House retirement home in recent years.

mer Duke Curtis Leonard in the NCAA next season. “There's not a whole lot of weaknesses in that hockey club. I've been looking for one and I can't so far,� Abrams said. While Toronto Lakeshore is notorious not having great crowds, there is hope the few supporters the Pats do have will make their way to Wellington. The Pats did get over 400 for their home games in the

Buckland Cup final, but it should be noted that they were taking on Aurora ,who's fan base is nearby and travels well. “I don't know if there's going to be a whole lot of travelling by their fans, but we certainly hope so,� Abrams said. Wellington plays the Gold Miners on Tuesday night and the SIJHL reps on Wednesday evening before taking on the Pats on Thursday.

Patriots show similarities to Dukes’ 2011 championship team

DUKES, from page 27

“Their story sounds so familiar. In 2011, we didn't know we were going to have that type of team and reading some of their comments, they were in that same boat early in the season,� he said. The Patriots started to role later on in the season and wound up winning the Southwest Conference,

going 35-12-6 over the course of the regular season. Stud netminder Even Buitenhuis and top defencemen Robert Powers were key acquisitions while Andreas Tsogkas lead the team with 57 points in 53 games. Also key to the Pats lineup is top prospect Micheal Prapavessis, the OJHL's top defenceman in 2013-14 and an RPI commit, meaning he could join for-

PANTHERS, from page 26

Power-boat racing lost an avid builder and participant Monday morning as John Sibthorpe passed away at age 82. Born in Blyth Ontario, Sibthorpe’s career as a barber brought him to Prince Edward County, where his Main Street shop quickly became the place to be to learn about a sport that became so dear to the people of his new home. Sibthorpe loved to race and water ski. As a result, he was one of the founders of the Picton Outboard Racing Club during the early 1960s and of the Prince Edward Power Boat Racing Club in 1971, an organization he’d serve as president, vice-president, race director and barge director.

It is mid-April and we just had a very cold day in the midst of a lovely spring warm-up. I did manage to get the garden shed cleared out today in spite of a chilly wind. Cleared out is exactly what happened, I pulled just about everything outside so I could be swept and re-organized better. I have saved every bucket, container and pot I could lay my hands on for the past few years and that shed was full. While the day ended with half the items still lying out on the grass, the inside looked a heck of a lot better! One wall now has all the shelf units lined up so pots of assorted sizes can be grouped together. There is a decent potting bench at the back that got all cleaned off so i can get at my transplanting there. Tomorrow I will sort buckets and odds and ends in various baskets. Oh yes baskets also need a home there. Tools will be hung on nails and all will be tidy. Some things got put aside for a yard sale hopefully soon. Have quite a pile inside that was sorted out over winter so come May it all has to go! Looking over the gardens I have interesting holes here and there where chipmunks seem to reside! At least one was seen popping up in the sun. Another did an awful lot of digging under the snow in the front flower bed. I raked it smooth but I see a tunnel has appeared again. Oh well they are more of nature than I am so I can adapt.being April, Earth Day is observed well, Earth Month is even better.Maybe it should be Earth Life so we can do right every day. More people all the time are waking up to what needs to be changed in the home, workplace, and country so that we still have the best lives while we are here. Still the overall mindset is one of waste and polluting even though many businesses work within the "accepted limits allowed".It's not enough yet. It all needs to change. Soon. Now we worry about the demise of honeybees? Really? Who would have thought? groups of eco-minded folks grow and they are heard more and more. Does anyone listen? It's all about the money of course, but what will that matter when we wake up someday to "silent spring"? No one of us lives a perfect environmental life, but more try, every day. And more spread the word. Be proud of what you do to keep Mother Earth healthy. In turn, it keeps you healthy. Be proud if you are called a tree-hugger. It's a good thing to be! Trees like it too! Spring brings early good things from the garden before long. My favourite is rhubarb. I have some lovely plants here, well soon. when I was little I would chomp on raw rhubarb and really enjoy it. I still can do that, but prefer it cooked in some way now. Usually I make jam which is a pretty pink colour and tastes wonderful. Also, relish is very good. When it comes to pie, I prefer it mixed with apples instead of just rhubarb alone. If you have some apples it is a delicious blend, or mix them in a crumble.

Mother always liked stewed rhubarb. Simmered with sugar and a little water till it was mushy. She really enjoyed that. I wonder if she would have liked these updates for it? To add zest to stewed rhubarb, add a few spigs of chopped mint and a few squeezes of lemon. Or top stewed rhubarb with meringue and brown in oven. Many prefer a traditional pie though so here are three quick ones for you to make this spring!

RHUBARB PIE

n Pastry for a double crust pie n Mix: One-third cup of flour with one-and-one-half cups of sugar n Add in four cups rhubarb cut in 1" pieces n Pile into bottom crust, dot with bits of butter. n Add top crust, bake at 450 F for 10 minutes, then 350 F until fruit is tender and bubbly.

RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE

n Spread one cup of fine chopped rhubarb on unbaked pie crust n Make a custard of two cups scalded milk, three well-beaten eggs and oneand-one-half cups of sugar n Add one teaspoon of vanilla and a sprinkle of nutmeg n Pour over rhubarb, bake slowly until fruit is tender and custard is golden brown.

RHUBARB MERINGUE PIE

nCover three cups chopped rhubarb with boiling water. Stand five minutes, drain well. n Beat three egg yolks. n Mix together two tablespoons flour with one-half teaspoon of cinnamon and one-and-one-half cups of sugar. n Add dry mix to yolks, blend well. n Stir in one tablespoon melted butter and combine with rhubarb. n Bake in crust at 425 F for 10 minutes, then 350 F for about 40 minutes, until fruit is tender. n Make a meringue from the beaten egg whites, adding five tablespoon sugar and one-half of a teaspoon of vanilla. top the pie with this and brown in oven. Okay we are good for Spring now! Lots of work to do outside! This year make sure you garden organically. Plant lots of zinnias for the honeybees also. .

Fort Frances, Minnesota head for Game 7 Kirkland Lake wins NOJHL final in upset SIJHL champ last entry to be determined for Dudley Hewitt Cup Jason Parks

Staff writer

By the time you read this, either the Minnesota Iron Rangers or the Fort Frances Lakers will have hoisted the Superior International Junior Hockey League's Bill Salonen Cup and likely have started preparations to come to Wellington, site of next week's 2014 Dudley Hewitt Cup. The SIJHL playoff championship was decided last night in a Game 7 contest in Fort Frances and the Northwest Ontario-based league was last of the three Junior A hockey loops to finalize their representative for next week's Central Canada Cup championship. One set of junior hockey eyes in Ontario's Sunset Country that Dukes fans may recall is Mike Ebbeling. Ebbeling now calls games on radio in Dryden, Ontario for the Dryden Ice Dogs for CKDR but back in 2003 while cutting his teeth in the radio game, the Loyalist College grad worked some of the Dukes contests at the 2003 Dudley Hewitt Cup in Fort Frances with Jack Miller on CJBQ. Prior to Game 7, Ebbeling caught up with the Gazette and spoke about both the Rangers and Lakers and said either club will make a fine SIJHL representative at the Dudley Hewitt Cup next week. “The Rangers and the Lakers are two of the most

disciplined teams in the SIJHL and they both have a fine eye for detail that's helped them get to this stage,� Ebbeling told the Gazette Tuesday evening. “Minnesota is big, fast and aggressive and they waste no time in taking the game to you. They play really smart hockey, they are strong defensively and they are anchored by SIJHL defenceman of the year Austin Frank.� Up front, the Iron Rangers offence has been paced by former Wellington Duke Evan Erickson and his 13 points in 16 games. “As Dukes fans know, Erickson has great speed and he always seems to be around the puck. In net, Alex Reichle was my pick for SIJHL netminder of the year and he is very capable of stealing games and he's done that twice in this Salonen Cup series,� Ebbeling said. The Iron Range Blueshirts are coached by Chris Walby and Ebbeling said he and his hockey are an emotional bunch. “It's a very emotional team and I’m wondering how it will impact them after dropping a 3-1 series lead and having to win in the Lakers rink,� Ebbeling said. The first-place Lakers (466-2) were expected to breeze

through the SIJHL playoffs en route to Wellington but they hit an iron laden speed bump in the finals. Still, Ebbeling likes the team’s depth, calling the Lakers the second deepest team he's seen in the SIJHL in 10 seasons. Forward Brent Aiken wasn't even in the top 10 in Lakers scoring in the regular season, but the second-year Kenora native has 14 points in 12 SIJHL playoff games. Gearldton's Miles Nolan had just 28 points in the regular season but he's got 15 points to lead the playoff points parade. “Lucas Debenedet and Lyndon Lipinski had 200 regular-season points between them and they aren't even in the top 20 in playoff scoring, so that tells you just how deep they are,� Ebbeling offered. Even in net, the Lakers have options. Mid-season acquisition Devin Tappenden was lights out during a portion of the playoffs only to cool off and be re-replaced by original number one goalie Jordan Cartney. And for Ebbeling, it has been remarkable to see how the Lakers have jelled as a team. “Fort Frances has had problems in the past with attitudes and players not buying in, but that has not been an issue this year. The players all know their role and they have embraced those roles for this playoff run,� he said.

Pominville in your net,� he added. It's been a short and starry trip to the top of the NOJHL for the club. Formerly the Kirkland Lake Blue Devils, the operation was poised to fold in mid-January of 2012 before a local consortium picked up the pieces and reassembled the club as the rebranded Gold Miners in just a weeks time. Success probably wasn't supposed to come this quickly for the franchise, but it came just the same. And now after they've won an NOJHL title, Russon wonders what their focus will be when they arrive in Wellington for the Central Canadian Championship. “A team like that, you knock off the No. 1 ranked team in Canada, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there was a natural let down. They don't have a lot of local kids on that team and I'm sure they celebrated this championship very well,� Russon said. The veteran hockey writer said Kirkland Lake bench boss Marc Lafluer can motivate his troops and is one of the most prepared coach's in the NOJHL but added that when things don't go his way, he can get rattled and it can reflect on to his team. The Gold Miners take on the host Wellington Dukes Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m.

the loss of starting netminder Joel Horodziejczyk early in the playoffs and while the Sudbury native returned for the final series, it appeared to some that he wasn't quite his former self. The older and experienced Gold Miners were perhaps able to sense this was their chance, especially after winning Game 2 in Sault Ste. Marie 5-3. “The Kirkland Lake team has a lot of high-end guys and there are a lot of 1993 births. They were built to win this year. That's not to say that Soo wasn't because they had 99 points this season, but the Thunderbirds are going to have a nice core coming back for next season,� Russon said. Sam Wilbur, Steve Babin and NOJHL playoff mostvaluable-player Austin Rust are key cogs to the Gold Miner offence while mid-season acquisition Jeremy Pominville was outstanding in the Kirkland Lake cage, posting a playoff best 1.85 goals against average and a 0.931 save percentage. On the blueline, Russon said the speed of Jeremy Picard-Fiset must be seen to believe. “He can really wheel and the whole team is really quick and they use that to their advantage. You can open up and free wheel a little bit when you have a guy like

If the top-ranked Junior A hockey team in Canada wants to come to next week's Dudley Hewitt Cup, they are going to have to buy a ticket. The Soo Thunderbirds find themselves on the outside looking in as the chase for the 2014 Royal Bank Cup starts to heat up thanks to their six-game loss to the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League's champion Kirkland Lake Gold Miners. The Gold Miners took care of business, beating the topranked club 2-1 in front of over 1,000 supporters at the Joe Mavrinac Community Complex in Kirkland Lake Tuesday night. Randy Russon of hockeynewsnorth.com and Sault This Week said that while the Thunderbirds were at the head of the NOJHL pack this season, the Gold Miners were never too far behind and a 43-1 record in seven games between the two clubs showed just how close the teams were. “Going into this final series, a lot of people thought the Soo would take it in six or seven but I wasn't that sold. Kirkland Lake winning the series and the Copeland Cup wasn't a shock to me,� Russon told the Gazette Wednesday. The Soo had to deal with

Following a long, hard winter migratory birds are beginning to return to and pass through Prince Edward County for the spring migration. This winter has had a devastating effect on water fowl that winter here. The lakes were frozen leaving the ducks no place to feed and many have been found dead recently. This could really effect breeding success this year, with species of duck having less success. In time they're likely to recover, said expert birder and naturalist Terry Sprague. “Nature is quite a good healer,” said Sprague. Naturalist and birder Cheryl Anderson each year records when she sees her first grackles, a sign of spring. In the year 2012 she saw her first grackle on March 6, this year she didn't see one until March 24. Anderson also makes note of first turkey vultures which she observed also returned late this year, seeing her first on March 22, 2014. She said she has noticed that everything is returning later than she has seen before. “It doesn't mean that we're not going to have a good year, it just means that the birds are perhaps a week or maybe 10 days later than they have been,”said Anderson. Keeping track of and counting birds is popular in

Spring Birding Festival there will be daily guided bird walks and banding demonstrations. Approximately 2,000 people come to the birding festival each year, said Sprague. The observatory does banding in the spring and fall. Trained volunteers work with a trained banding professional to band and collect data on birds that are caught in nets and banded with a small aluminum band. Data collected includes bird species, gender, age, fat content, wing length, and weight. Banding helps keep track of breeding success and populations said Anderson. A variety of species come to the county and pass through said Sprague, sometimes it doesn't make sense why they're there. Birding is becoming more popular with young people. Sprague has seen a large number of 12 and 13 year olds getting involved. There are lots of opportunities for people to learn about birds and there is incredible equipment available for those that want to take it seriously and very successful.

Attendees will learn to identify birds faster, how to sort out warblers and shorebirds, how to forecast bird migration, a trip to local habitats and an indepth look at the common loon.

THIS YEAR THE PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY HOSPITAL AUXILIARY IS CELEBRATING ITS 80TH ANNIVERSARY When you’ve been to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital as frequently as 21-year-old Brandon Peever, you’ll know a thing or two about the volunteers of the Hospital Auxiliary. Brandon has been playing Junior ‘C’ hockey for the Picton Pirates for the past six years. In that time, he’s suffered bone and joint injuries, knocked out several teeth and been treated for many cuts and bruises to his face. He salutes the volunteers and pays tribute to their hard work.

They make our hospital a better place

‘

Without the countless hours that the Hospital Auxiliary put in, my experiences wouldn’t have been as quick, effective or efficient. Without the money that has been raised over the years, the different types of treatment I have had may not have been available in Picton. The volunteers make our hospital a better place, help to provide our community with the best medical services and lowest waiting times. For all that, I say a big thank-you.
