From cleaning up public roadways to spreading native tree species, it was an exciting Earth Day weekend in Prince Edward County. Starting Saturday morning the newly dubbed PitchIn Prince Edward County volunteers were revving up for a long day of trash collection despite a cold drizzle, while County Sustainability Group volunteers had perfect weather for their rain barrel sale, and PECI student volunteers diverted e-waste from landfills. Sunday morning saw the Prince Edward Stewardship Council encourage native species growth with their Trees for Tomorrow seedling event. Pitch-In Prince Edward County co-ordinator Sandy Latchford said the event — formally the Trash Bash — is more about partnerships this time around. “This year we've really tried to partner with community groups that are involved in the sustainability of the community and environmental issues,” she said. She said those partnerships — which included the County Sustainability Group with their rain barrel sale and PECI with the e-waste collection — have created more enthusiasm and motivation to clean up the county. Essroc was also scheduled to have a clean-up along Shannon Road and the local Kiwanis club were also contributing. Picton Tim Hortons donated coffee and timbits for the event. “The Prince Edward Stewardship Council has also helped us out with a donation toward getting our print materials and everything — it's really great to have all the partners on board,” Latchford said. She said the pride in Prince Edward County is what drives all the groups to contribute to the cause. “It's the pride in our home and in community and to get out there and keep it clean and looking good because I'm proud of the county,” she said. “It's a wonderful place to live, and do business and to be here and be a part of it. Part of giving back to the community is making sure we can

keep it looking good and show off our home with pride.” The weather was cold and rain came in spurts throughout the day, but Latchford said a good amount of trash was cleaned up nonetheless. “Many of the people went out and picked the ditches earlier in the week. One group picked Hwy. 62 and got 30 bags,” she said Saturday. Latchford said the PitchIn crew didn't have any preconceived expectations for the event, saying only that whatever trash could be

cleaned up was beneficial. She said she expected a better turnout than last year, noting how many clean-up kits had been handed out out at the garbage drop-off sites. “We had a lot of kits fly off out at the pick up places in the last three days,” she said. Latchford thanked all the volunteers for their work and support. “It's just great to work with everybody,” she said. The County Sustainability Group's rain barrel sale was also deemed a success with about 140 rain barrels being pre-sold by Saturday and still more being pur-

chased over the weekend. Sustainability group member Don Ross said the barrels were sold for $55 with proceeds from the sale supporting the group's environmental bursary for PECI students. The $350 bursary goes to a graduating PECI student who is entering a post-secondary environmental program. Ross said the rain barrel sale was being held also to bring awareness to the importance of water conservation.

PECI students got a dose of reality last week as they learned first-hand the dangers of drug abuse and gang involvement from a man who lived it. Former gang member and drug addict Rick Osborne, who spent close to 25 years in prison, spoke to students during two morning sessions last Friday. He shared his personal experience and provided reality-based advice to students. Judging by the looks on many faces, that advice wasn't lost. “Most people don't survive the kind of life I lived,” Osborne said as he started the tale of his descent into drug abuse and gangs. Osborne described an almost mind-bogglingly quick turnaround from a teen with a good family to junkie living on the streets. While living in Niagara Falls as a teenager Osborne was injected with a powerful combination of methamphetamine and heroin — a mix known as a “speedball” — against his will by a group of heroin addicts. After overdosing and subsequently regaining consciousness, Osborne said he was still high three days later and was afraid to go home. “By 14 I was a heroin addict, by 16 I was raped, stabbed and left for dead,” he said.

Members of the public encouraged to adopt portions of trail as part of $70,000 drive to improve surface

Wellington Rotarians introduce new fundraiser for Millennium Trail upgrades Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The Wellington Rotary Club launched its latest fundraising initiative earlier this week. The club announced Tuesday it was launching a $70,000 “Adopt Some Metres of Trail� campaign in

order to upgrade a sevenkilometre stretch of the Millennium Trail from Conley Road to Greer Road near Wellington. The project will look to widen the section of the trail to 11 feet or about 3.35 metres, scrape the soil into a rolled surface to improve drainage and to resurface

the section with limestone screenings. The intention is to make the surface easier for bicycles along with walking, cycling, ATVs and snowmobiles. The plan also includes “Wellington Station� — a parking lot and information kiosk with a portable washroom to be built at West Street beside the trail that will be stocked with information on walking and cycling routes. More signage showing improved crossroads and interpretive signs that will tell visitors what to look for in the natural surroundings are also planned. Council approved the initiative in late February. In February Rotary member Barry Davidson

said the trail can provide a lot more benefit to the county than it is right now. “The trail has a lot of tourist potential that we're missing out on,� he said. Davidson said the trail is tough for bikes to navigate and by making the trail suitable for bicycles it could increase the trail's use substantially “One of the problems is you can't ride a bike because of that loose gravel. In some places it's even hard to walk on it,� he said. “After it rains the water puddles because the middle of the trail isn't as high as the edge.� The project has been divided into three parts — the first of which will be

from Conley Road to Belleville Street. It will take $15,000 to complete that section and Rotary will start construction on that section as soon as that number is reached. The second phase of the project will complete the section from Consecon Street to Greer Road, which has an estimate cost of $25,000 for 3.5 km of surface improvements and safety and information signage. The final phase will complete the 1.5 km section from Belleville Street to Consecon Street. The estimate cost of this section is $21,000 for surface improvements, safety, information, and interpretive signage and a kiosk.

Kinsmen donate $5,000 to hospital’s digital mammography drive

Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Saturday marked a significant milestone for the Picton Kinsmen as the club made the largest single donation in its history during its annual charity auction. This year's auction was the group's biggest yet said Picton Kinsmen president Ross Lindsay. “Over the past two years the guys have worked really hard to put something on of this size,” he said. “We've had so many great events raising money [and] this is highlighting it.” The Kinsmen gathered during Saturday's auction to present the Prince Edward Memorial Hospital Foundation with a cheque for $5,000, with foundation executive director Anna Marie Ferguson and past-president Don Stanton Sr. on hand to accept. “It's the largest cheque presentation that the Kinsmen have ever made,” said Lindsay. “We're thrilled about that.” Lindsay said the money was raised through a variety of Kinsmen activities like bingo, barbecues, auctions, golf tournaments and recycling. He said he was glad to have the opportunity to be a part of the contribution. “I'm thrilled just to be a part of the guys and the group. Everybody is working really hard so this is pretty exciting,” he said. Lindsay said the simple fact that the Kinsmen were able to raise more funds this year was the reason they were able to make the large donation. He said the club wanted to encourage other service

the Kinsmen and their families for making it all come together. “It's not one person. It's a lot of work and it's all the guys,” he said. “This is the result of 20 guys working for a full year. It's fulfilling, it really is.”

tiatives would be greatly appreciated. He said the Kinsmen work on projects with PECI, local Air Cadets and assisting with whatever else they can do in the community. With the auction bigger than ever, Lindsay thanked

clubs in the community to make similar donations as well. He said they chose to support the hospital foundation because the hospital impacts everyone. “We wanted to really make a mark on something that's important to all of us living in the county and the hospital foundations was that,” Lindsay said. The money will go toward the foundation's ongoing drive to raise $750,000 for digital mammography equipment. Ferguson called the donation “absolutely amazing.” “It's a big kick to the digital mammography campaign,” she said. “It's also going to put them on our new donor wall.” Ferguson said the equipment is of vital importance

and ensures county residents don't have to travel to Trenton or Belleville for the important breast cancer test. She said the results of the digital equipment are also much faster than traditional film-based equipment. Ferguson said the increasing number of breast cancer cases worldwide is disconcerting. “The stats are incredible (not just) in the county, but worldwide. It's not just women its men. We're really thrilled Quinte Health Care approved this purchase,” she said. The excitement didn't end with the passing of the cheque. The beefed-up annual event featured a live auction, silent auction and a plethora of donated items from across the community. Among the great auction

items were several phones including an iPhone, an air compressor, Wellington Dukes memorabilia, and several paintings. Lindsay said the event was already doing better than last year early on Saturday, saying the previous auction was hampered by a snowstorm. “Now you see all the people (this year) so we're very excited about that,” he said. He said the Kinsmen didn't have a fundraising goal in mind, but he said whatever could be raised to donate back through community ini-

Plans progressing for new hospital

Quinte Health Care has finalized some details with the Prince Edward Family Health Team and Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation representatives on the business case for a new hospital in Picton. According to a report delivered by QHC chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts Tuesday evening, the groups met with the Southeast Local Health Integration Network and confirmed the preferred option is to build a fully integrated model on a “Greenfield” or new site.

Egberts said in her report the advantage of such a model, should it be approved by the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care, is to achieve efficiencies for all and create a more seamless experience for the patient. It's hoped the new hospital will not only house the current services offered at the hospital but will also provide space for family health team members as well as a number of other health care and community care organizations. “I would say the process is moving along quite nicely,” Eg-

berts told board members at the April meeting. Ministry officials will meet with QCH and the FHT on May 7 to review the business case and QHC expects to submit the final documents within a few weeks following the meeting. Egberts is expected to provide a detailed summary of the business case at the May Board meeting scheduled to be held in Bancroft at North Hastings Hospital on May 22. -Jason Parks, Staff

DRUGS, from page 1

By 21 Osborne was considered one of Canada's most wanted criminals and a short time later he entered the federal penitentiary system where he would spend the next 24-and-a-half years of his life. By 1993 Osborne had broken his addiction to drugs and began to reform his life. He eventually earned a psychology degree from Queen’s University and now, after more than a decade out of prison, Osborne spends his time informing youth about the dangers of gangs, drugs and criminal activity. Osborne said he has a connection with youth that stems from his experience as a teen.

“Because of what happened to me, I was a kid when it happened, my heart has always been to young people,” he said after last Friday's presentation. “A lot of what happened to me was because I was ignorant of what was out there and made some decisions thinking there were no monsters.” He said he thought because he lived in a wealthy area he would be safe, but he says that's not often the case. “I'm one of the ones that survived and I can articulate what happened to me and it doesn't hurt me to do it.” He said imparting that knowledge to youth is the most important thing he can do. He said there's no other way youth can get an under-

standing of what's out there. “We don't have a university degree in gang, we don't have a university degree in getting played or what drugs do,” he said. “For a guy like me to stand in front of high school kids or Grade 8 kids and talk to them about what it really is, then they have that knowledge base. It helps them to be resilient — we can't be with them 24/7.” Osborne provides his contact information after each session so any kids with questions or concerns can ask them. He said he frequently gets emails from students telling him his words helped in some way. He is currently working with at-risk youth in a First Nations community in northern Quebec, but takes a week out of each month to travel around schools to tell his story. Prince Edward OPP Constable Kim Guthrie said presentations like Osborne's show kids the real consequences of their actions. “It lets them see someone who has lived the life and paid the consequences. He lost a large portion of his freedom as a result of starting into drugs at a very early age,” Guthrie said. Guthrie said a story like Osborne's also shows that anybody, even those who have a good home life, can succumb to drug addiction. “Drugs don't just happen to kids from lower income or bad families — he comes from a very good family,” she said. “He just chose the wrong path and this just shows kids the consequences that come along with poor choices.” For more information about Osborne and the work he does with youth visit www.astwood.ca/ozzysgarage.html.

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932

■ The Picton Collegiate was set to have a new principal as the school recruited science specialist J.H. Fox of Windsor. He would receive a salary of $3,500 and was to start Sept. 1. It was understood a considerable number of applications were received. ■ James Shepard was reappointed as Picton’s market clerk for the 17th straight year. Shepard was to work 365 days a year. His job included looking after the fire alarm system, caring for the market building, and collecting tolls from vendors within. He was also entrusted with operating the weigh scales for cattle sales and had built up a considerable amount of trust in that position. ■ Picton town council was planning to supply lands so that unemployed people could grow vegetables for the winter, which was seen as an alternative to paying more welfare within the community.

■ The Wellington bantam hockey team captured an Ontario ‘D’ championship by defeating Plattsburgh with a 9-0 shutout in the final game of the Ontario final. It was reported that after almost every Wellington goals, large firecrackers were thrown on the ice from among the 700 fans in attendance that night. ■ Clarence Milligan, the Prince EdwardLennox MP, lost more than 100 cattle and horses when a barn on his Napanee property burned down. His sons were able to save a number of pigs before the smoke became too thick and had to vacate the premises. The cause was not determined. ■ The Salvation Army was planning to launch a red shield campaign in Prince Edward County on April 30 to be completed by May 15. Th objective was to raise awareness and an additional $4,000 for Salvation Army projects locally.

■ The United Empire Loyalists of Prince Edward County were backing the United Kingdom in its attempts to reclaim the Falkland Islands from the Argentinians. It was reported that many Falkland Islands residents remained loyal to Britain and fled in a manner similar to that of the Loyalists defecting from the American colonies. ■ After a year’s prohibition on the harvest of whitefish, herring, or pickerel, local commercial fisherman set out to convince the Ministry of Natural Resources there were enough whitefish to reopen the fishery with a quota of 25,000 pounds.

■ Fire chief George Pettingill was becoming frustrated with the notion that his firefighters were called to marshland near Big Island four years in a row to put out intentionally set fires. That year more than six acres of marsh was burnt. ■ Prince Edward County had no objections to an application by Drew Harrison Haulage Ltd. to blast in a quarry on Bayside Concession, but nearly 30 neighbouring residents met at North Marysburgh Town Hall to debate the application. Some residents expressed concerns about the impact of blasting and heavy truck traffic on area roads. ■ The OPP introduced two officers, Const. Kim Guthrie and Const. Tim Foster who both transferred to the local detachment.

Scissor-tailed flycatcher creates mild furor

Motorists travelling Potter Road at Demorestville may have done a double take two weeks ago if they saw a robin-sized bird fly across the road in front of them, dragging some sort of feathery debris behind it. And they may have been even more mystified to see car loads of observers there from Brighton, Kingston and from as far away as Guelph. The attraction was a scissor-tailed flycatcher, and the feathery object it was dragging along behind it, was its tail – longer than the bird itself! I received the call from Potter Road resident Marlene Bulpit who had already identified the arrival from her home, and was poised with binoculars when I arrived a few minutes later. The bird put on a spectacular performance as it perched on a fence post and in true flycatcher fashion, darted out and snatched flying insects. It would then take a wide circle over the fields and return to the same perch, its impressive forked tail trailing along behind. This is the fourth record in Prince Edward County of this rare southern bird since 1959 when one was seen along Ridge Road, south of Picton. Another was observed east of Lake on the Mountain in 1981, and another was seen at West Lake in 2004. The bird is often referred to as the Texas Bird-of-Paradise because – well, the bird is from Texas! It would be wonderful if we could probe the inner psyche of these birds so we could understand why they get so far off course, and end up

where they do. Unfortunately, all we can do is speculate. Sometimes these vagrants get caught up in prolonged weather fronts which force individuals into foreign areas, but there were no severe weather fronts in the two or three weeks preceding its arrival. That leaves the possibility of a short circuit in the bird’s migration programming, travelling, as some do, in the wrong direction. Truth is, we will never know. With today’s sophisticated communication system among birders, it wasn’t long after I posted the appearance on the Ontario Birds Internet listserv that birders started showing up, much to the delight of Marlene who ushered the birders onto her property to get a look at it wherever it happened to be that day. Sometimes, it was very obliging, cooperatively posing for onlookers, as it did for me, along the edge of the

road; other times, interested birders, armed to the teeth with binoculars, spotting scopes and camera equipment were forced to trudge down to the shore of Fish Lake where the bird also spent time hawking after insects. Still, despite its dependability, seeing the bird was a bit of a crap shoot. When I arrived again the following morning, several birders had already seen it, but five minutes later, it disappeared for a spell, much to the disappointment of several Brighton and Guelph birders, only to reappear again for another convoy of the binocular brigade later in the day. Fuel prices were met with a simple shrug of the shoulders as birders arrived from across Ontario and even from New York to catch a glimpse of this spectacular flycatcher species. I was surprised at the colouring of the bird – much whiter than what some field guides depict, offset by a pearly grey back, and salmon-pink wing linings which flashed when the bird flew. The tail was a rich black, deeply forked (hence the bird’s name) and decorated by pure white outer tail feathers. To see the bird in flight, it was almost as though the long tail, much longer than its body, didn’t really belong as it trailed out behind as though the bird was dragging along two long, wispy lengths of grass that it had inadvertently snagged somewhere and had become stuck to its hindquarters. The name "scissor-tailed," is derived from the male's

habit of opening and closing the gap between his long, nine-inch tail feathers during courtship flights. The rollercoaster like courtship ritual often includes dazzling backward somersaults that enhance the beauty of the male's tail. Last year, about this time, another visitor from Texas and Mexico appeared in a farm pond, just south of Milford. The black-bellied whistling duck, one of several that actually appeared at various locations north of their range, was the topic of conversation at the general store in that village. Had there been a general store that was open in Demorestville, I am sure that our scissortailed flycatcher would have enjoyed some lively discussion there as well. We can only guess what happens to these vagrants upon being discovered so far out of their range. While some may travel on and become even more hopelessly lost, it is unlikely they ever get back on course again. Regrettably, most succumb to the unfamiliar food and weather of a new world and eventually die, taking with them, all their secrets and leaving behind only treasured photographs from those who came to enjoy their presence.

Real-life experiences contribute much to our understanding

TO borrow a line from 4-H organizations, you learn to do by doing. To steal another time-tested quip, seeing is also believing. With that in mind, students at PECI have been fortunate in the past few weeks with some of the opportunities they’ve experienced. For two weeks earlier this month, a small group of students was able to go to Europe and travel to place they’d only read about in their history books previously. They were able to walk through a German concentration camp and read the signs that said work would set them free and walk through the very rooms many Jewish people entered into that few were able to leave on their own terms. They walked through Anne Frank’s home in Amsterdam, then were able to stand in some of the fields where their ancestors fought during the First World War. All of that, of course, was coupled with their own opportunity to be part of history as the 95th anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge was marked — the anniversary of a day that some historians said turned Canada into a nation. Now some might say that was an experience that only a few select students were able to partake in, and that may be true, but through their enthusiasm, their photos, and their stories of a personal connection to those places, there will be a spin-off of many friends, family members, and classmates eager to learn more than they could in the classroom. A similar idea also rings true with the assembly the school staged on Friday to bring in Rick Osborne to talk about gangs and drugs. This is a man who knows about what he speaks because he found himself wrapped up in that world, and ultimately, he found himself spending nearly a quarter of a century incarcerated for the decisions he made in life. Again, that’s a lot better than learning from a book or a pamphlet about the dangers that may lurk nearby. All of a sudden, when faced with a presentation like his, it hits home that such a life may not be too far away from the comforts most of us believe we live within. With a few chance meetings, a few poor choices, and the right circumstances, it could happen and there was real, living proof there. Whenever possible, our education system should look for examples to bring our young students beyond just words on a page or videos — though some authors and film makers are brilliant in their efforts to bring their interpretations of the world directly to us — to something tangible and experiential they can draw on for the rest of their life. It’s also important to do so while there is still a generation of people who lived lives when historic events happened as the times do change and society changes with it as well. There is a lot of history — both in the formative years of this country and of this region — and more recent that is within grasp here. The more people are encouraged to learn and experience, the more they will understand. Ultimately, that will help our youth prepare to make tomorrow better than today.

Book sales help bring in new materials for future library lending

The County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives continually looks for fundraising opportunities, including both one time events and ongoing projects. The money is then used to purchase books and other materials and to develop programs such as literacy initiatives for children and learning opportunities for all ages including those geared to the interests of seniors. Book sales are one of the very successful ways the library raises funds. Building on this, the library will be holding special book sales at a number of locations in addition to the ongoing sale currently being held in the Picton Armoury Mall. Owner Mark G. Baker has provided space to the library in the Armoury Mall since March 2011 and the library has consequently been able to sell a large number of books during that time. “We are very thankful to Mr. Baker for donating this space,” says Library CEO Barbara Sweet. “We have raised $6,300 for the library since the sale began.” . This achievement has been made possible according to Sweet “because of the availability of the space and the wonderful support of so many who have contributed their time to helping organize and working in the store.” Beginning this Saturday, April 28, another temporary book sale will be set up in Milford across the street from the Ann Farwell branch in what was once called the emporium building, next to the Milford B&B. This new venture is being made possible thanks to the generosity of owners Erin Johnston and Martin Drover. The location will be open this Saturday and on subsequent Saturdays as well as by chance depending on the availability of volunteers. When the Milford library branch is open, staff may also be able to allow shoppers access to the sale. Two special sale days at the north end of the County are also scheduled. Visit the Consecon branch on Saturday, May 5 from 10 a.m. to

2p.m. for great deals and on Saturday, June 2nd, another sale will be held at the Ameliasburgh Town Hall. New titles arrive regularly at all of the sale locations so there is always something new to see and books to suit varied tastes. The Friends of the Picton Library are also holding one of their popular High End Book Sales at the Picton branch on Saturday, May 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. “All of the book sales are a wonderful way to recycle and get new reading material while helping support the library,” says Sweet. “We thank those who have donated books and invite everyone to come and see what interesting new books they might find at all of the sales.” The library is also in need of volunteers to help transport books, set up and work at the sales. Please contact Barb Sweet or Christine Renaud at 4765962 if you can help. A new way that the library hopes to raise funds is by screening movies at the Ameliasburgh Town Hall. On Saturday, April 28, the library presents the award-winning family movie Hugo at 2 p.m. Cost is by donation and there will be refreshments, the sale of which will benefit the library. More fundraising activities and events are in the planning stages. Check the library’s events calendar online regularly for new things to see and do at: www.peclibrary.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Is premier really going to change course now?

From the mouth of the premier, Dalton McFussbudget, in the Belleville Intelligencer... .Communities who express a favourable demand for renewable energy will be awarded the bulk of contracts under the new points system that would place communities without majority support like the county at the back of the line. I've got all kinds of communities that want them...I don't need the headaches that are associated with them going into communities that don't want them.” Hallelujah! Finally,

maybe something sensible out of Queens Park regarding the Industrial Wind Turbine debacle. However, did Dalton really mean what he said? Does he really know— likely because someone told him...I doubt he could have figured this out on his own—that the great majority of us in PEC don't want IWTs because they are costly and inefficient and treacherous to the environment and wildlife and human health and murderous of what has been so painstakingly crafted by so many interested in a particular way of life here in the

county? Does he really understand that Leona Dombrowsky is sitting at home because of IWTs and his government’s intransigence? Or was this "visit" to the Belleville paper just part of a propaganda push? Another smokescreen deftly conjured to lull us into backing off while the installation of IWTs proceeds as McGuinty has always intended it to proceed? I find it interesting that now, at this late date, with the wind carpetbaggers already jumping the gun re road layouts and brush

clearing and maple-treecutting, the Premier should make this statement. The hopeful part of me would like to think a light has gone on somewhere in the bowels of Toronto and Queens Park and this is a signal that IWTs will bypass PEC. The cynical part of me says "don't let up just yet. There's probably more nonsense to come!" And not just from Queen’s Park. We’d be wise to keep close tabs on the pro-wind antics of a couple of our councillors too. Brian Flack Athol

What will happen to the herons in the south?

Have you ever wondered where that majestic great blue heron is going, when you see it flying off in the same direction every evening from its daytime fishing spot at a pond near you? In Southern Prince Edward County, it is flying home for the night, to its rookery between Royal Road and Lake Ontario. To get home in future, it may need to fly through a wind farm proposed by German developer wpd. Unlike migrating

birds that risk this flight only twice a year, our Great Blue Herons will need to dodge giant turbine blades several times a day. Solitary by day, herons are communal nesters. In South Marysburgh their colony is in a swampy wooded area just Southwest of wpd’s proposed White Pines wind farm. It is a magical and spiritual experience to watch the parents in spring, building or tending their large stick nests high in adjacent trees. Watch

them feeding their chicks in May. In summer, it is even more magical to hear their cacophony of squawks as heron choirs celebrate their colonial togetherness…and their choir practice is every evening, not just on Thursdays! Just imagine the effect that industrial wind turbines will have on a County heron’s life: almost certain deaths in their families. The Internet has many sites with pictures of heron

rookeries. Just Google “Great Blue Heron Rookery.” Discover how herons live in their secluded rookeries …avian communities that are just a short drive from our own human communities. Alas, these avian communities are also near the coming wind farms. The herons were there first. But who cares? Jim McPherson Milford

Dr. Marlene Brant Castellano spoke to an audience at the Empire Theatre on April 14 and touched each and every one of us with her topic: “A Contradiction at the Heart of Canada: From Oka to Attawapiskat”. This well-spoken, welleducated Mohawk woman started her lecture with a native blessing and then said with quiet authority: “It’s all about the land”. You could have heard a pin drop during a pause that gave each of us a moment to feel the emotion and passion this subject would address. She certainly

got our attention and as I looked along the row where I was sitting I saw both women and men allow tears to roll down their cheeks and onto their notebooks. Better, I thought, to absorb the words and let them resonate in my heart instead of trying to take notes. The time flew by and at the end of the address she allowed for questions from the audience. She was the first student from Tyendinaga to attend Belleville High School and the first to attend Queen’s University. After graduation she worked as a social work-

er in child and family services, became a full-time wife and mother of four sons, Professor and Chair of Indigenous Studies at Trent and CoDirector of Research for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. Since retirement from Trent she has written extensively and provided research on healing and reconciliation between peoples. She is a recipient of the Order of Ontario and the Order of Canada. She is what I think the Japanese would refer to and honour as a national treasure….Canada’s national treasure!

If you think you’d like to hear her speak you can catch her talk on June 7 at St. Philip’s Anglican Church in Milford. The topic is Shannen's Dream -Pursuing justice and equity in First Nations education. Shannen Koostachin was a 13-year-old student from Attawapiskat who started a youth movement using social media to advocate for “a safe and comfy school and culturally based education” in her home community.

PECT’s Leading Ladies high-stakes comedy Ludwig farce opening at Mt. Tabor May 4

The stakes are very high. Two hard-luck Shakespearean actors face the prospect of striking it rich or striking out completely in the roles of their lives, all depending on whether they can make the gambit work. In the Prince Edward Community Theatre’s season-ending offering, Leading Ladies, actors Leo Clark (Pat Larkin) and Jack Gable (Kevin McGall) learn about a millionairess on her death bed desperately searching for the long-lost heirs to her fortune — which would seem an easy fix for accomplished actors such as themselves, save for a twist in the story. The heirs, it turns out, are actually heiresses, who happen to be referred to by masculine names. After much prodding from Clark, the reluctant Gable goes along with the plan to scheme a bunch of small-minded simpletons from York, Pennsylvania into accepting them. The year is 1952, and no one is quite sure what to make of the strange guests. Hilarity ensues as they try to keep up appearances while meeting a zany, but close-knit cast of characters eager to find out who these long-lost relations are. Included in that bunch are Florence Snyder, the wealthy woman (Wilma McCagg), her real niece, the theatre-crazed Meg (Georgia PapanicolaouBeatty), a pious and self-centered minister Duncan (Mark Daniher), a caring and ambi-

tious, albeit naive friend of the family Audrey (Crystal Mayer), an amorous and affable doctor (Bill McMahon), and his good-hearted, but dim son Butch (Adam Bramburger). “It seems only fitting that we celebrate the most successful season yet with a raucous comedy,” said director Lynn Fennell. “Leading Ladies aptly fits the bill. Music and dance, Shakespeare, and a happy ending. They’re all here in abundance and promise a rollicking evening of fun.” Behind the scenes, the crew includes Barrie Atkinson (stage manager), Don Roberts (costumes), Colleen Johnson (set design), Paulina McMahon (properties), Carol Rutledge (costumes assistant), Richard Hall (set construction), and Anne Ritchie (choreography). Performances of the Ken Ludwig comedy will take place at Mt. Tabor May 4,5, 11, and 12 at 8 p.m.

Advance tickets are available for $14 from Rose Haven Farm Store or Kelly’s in Picton, the SideStreet Gallery in Wellington, online at countytix.ca, or by contacting Fennell by phone at 613-476-5925 or e-mail at lynnfennell@hotmail.com. Tickets at the door are $15 per person. Also, Fennell announced subscriptions for the company’s fifth season will be available during the Leading Ladies and until June 30, with three shows for $30. The season will feature Tuesdays With Morrie (based on the best-selling Mitch Albom novel), Ludwig’s wild Moon Over Buffalo, and Frederick Knott’s Dial M For Murder, with the first show staged in November. Fennell said the early subscriptions provide a $6 savings and help offset preparation costs as the company relies solely on box office revenues to operate. -Staff

A few nerves didn't stop the cast of The Paper Bag Princess: The Untold Story from giving the public engrossing and funny performances over the weekend. The PECI production ran from April 20-21 at the Lipson Room above Books & Company, where nearly every seat was filled for each performance. PECI drama teacher Matt Sheahan said the play's Friday night performance “more than sold out.� “It was awesome. It was a great audience response — everyone loved it,� he said. “I had parents, teachers, the vice principal of the school comment on just how much they loved the kids, the kids were great.� Saturday afternoon's audience consisted mainly of young children and families, and the seats again were packed. Sheahan said he was hoping for that type of response. “That's why we adapted a show that was familiar to people, that they could relate to and add some of our own twists and turns to it,� Sheahan said. “We really wanted

each character has more depth and back story and new characters have been added expanding the book's main cast of three to include 18 people. The cast managed to overcome any nerves with strong performances from Sam Kuipers as Princess Elizabeth, Sydnee Mulridge as the dragon, Peter Calver and Alison Stenhouse as narrators Hughbert and Beatrice Smitherman, Meghan Lal as Charlotte the dog, Keelan Hill as the king, Emily Sanders as the queen, Anna KoningNguyen as Princess Veronica, Iain Stenhouse as Prince Ronald, Miranda Boultbee as Jane the seamstress, Ben See as Leroy the stable boy and Patricia Kelemen as teacher Mrs. Cobblepot. Kayley Reid, Gianna MacDonald, Leah Snyder, Olivia Calver and Jesse Reed played the dragon's henchmen. Sheahan said Friday's performance had a few bugs due to butterflies in the stomach, but it didn't show Saturday afternoon. “They ended up working through the nervous energy and really put it on — they did a great job,� he said.

Ode to a pill and some tips about getting the most from your pharmacy

Little pill, here in my hand, I wonder how you understand Just what to do, or where to go? To stop the rigidity that hurts me so? Within your cover lies relief You work alone in unbelief You seek regions there below As down my throat you slowly go But what I wonder little pill, How do you know where I am ill? And just how do you really know Just where you are supposed to go? I’ve got a tremor, that’s true, My slow motion needs attention too. So how can anything so very small End my troubles in no time at all? Do you work alone or hire a crew To do all the good things you do? I’m counting on you mighty strong, To get in there where you belong. Don’t let me down and please don’t shirk, But do your undercover work So down my throat, get on your way And end my immobility another day. Don’t make a wrong turn is my plea, “Cause I can’t take another till three!” -Author Unknown

can better understand your prescription history and identify possible drug interactions or allergies with any new prescriptions, medicines or herbal products that you purchase at that pharmacy. You can call the pharmacy at any time, should you have any questions or concerns about your medication or its effectiveness. And, if need be, your pharmacist may contact your doctor to discuss the effectiveness of your medication. Be sure that you have asked the necessary questions to understand all the information to take your medication properly. As a rule, you should know the following things for every medicine you take... ■ what is the name of your medicine and what is it used to treat ■ when and how often you should take the medicine; ■ how long you should be taking your medicine ■what you should do if you forget to take the medicine ■when and if you should notice the medicine taking effect (i.e. outcome)

■what, if any, special instructions there are for taking the medicine (such as food, drink or medicine container instructions) ■what side effects can occur in taking the medicine and how you can recognize the warning signs of certain adverse symptoms or dangerous side effects ■ what to do if you experience any problems in taking the medicine; and how to store the medicine. The College states that no other health professional possesses the unique body of knowledge that pharmacists draw upon to monitor and manage drug therapy. As highly trained professionals, pharmacists maintain a lifelong learning program to understand and remain current on all drugs. Learn more about pharmacists at this web site: www.ocpinfo.com

Landmine removal to take lifetimes

Military clearer discusses scope of danger at Rotary dinner Covert was at the Picton Legion Tuesday to speak to Rotarians at the local club's annual dinner in support of the Canadian Landmines Foundation, an organization devoted to clearing landmines to restore land to allow people to use it safely for farming and leisure. Picton Rotary past-president David Burn said the club tries to hold the fundraising dinner each year within a month of April 4, the United Nations landmine awareness day. He said all the funds which

go to the organization will go toward clearing the explosives around the world. "All the funds go to clearing the mines or looking after victims — giving them artificial limbs and so on," he said. "If we raise $1,000 here tonight, that'll go to it. It takes $30 on average to clear a landmine. All Rotary clubs are expected to observe the landmine day." Burn said Canada was one of the first countries in the world to go landmine free and has been a leader in a 14-nation coalition actively demining other countries. Covert has seen his share of war-torn areas, having served two tours of duty in both Bosnia and Afghanistan, where his section would respond to live mine strikes. In a 2003 strike, he said his section spent 14 hours clearing mines in an operation where he recovered the body of a friend. "I knew the guy that was dead, but at that point, it was just a matter of making sure that nobody else got hurt," he said. Covert said the danger is very real and the scope is widespread. Using Afghanistan as an example, he noted there has been fighting going on for many years, even before the recent operations that brought Canadian forces there. Not only were areas mined, but there were also likely other ordinances that didn't go off as intended still in the area. Then, while on one of his first duties near Kabul, he noticed companies blowing up ammunition on a weekly basis. "Any time there's been fighting, there's a threat, whether it's a mine or an unexploded ordinance," he said. "Somewhere like Afghanistan where there has been fighting for years and years, as people pull out stuff gets left behind. You have all the old stuff, plus all the new stuff." While there is a fair bit of technology involved in finding mines and dogs are also being used, Covert said the best way to find the devices is to send individuals to do the work on foot. "It's a very lengthy process," he said. "The only real means of clearing is by hand...At the end of the day, it comes down to getting a guy with a metal detector making sure there's nothing dangerous in front of him. It's a slow, tedious process." He indicated while the Canadian military only clears mines when there is a physical need to serve an objective, there are more than 200 organizations in the world doing work similar to that supported by the Canadian Landmines Foundation. Most of them are hiring local people to do the work and overseeing their efforts. Also, Burn noted, the efforts have attracted the attention of several celebrities, including the late Diana, Princess of Wales, which has helped efforts.

Steak dinner offers support for five county cyclists in cancer-fighting trek Acoustic Grill hosts benefit as team looks to Toronto-Niagara ride in June adam BramBurger

Staff writer

A steak dinner Tuesday night provided some necessary fuel for five county cyclists to go forward on a long journey that may help provide a cure for cancer. It wasn't literally nutrients for the ride being offered up at the Acoustic Grill that night, as the 200-plus kilometre Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer isn't until June 9. Instead, the dinner provided necessary funds to help reach the riders' individual fundraising target of $2,500. Mike Foley is one of the riders with this being the fourth year he's taken on the Toronto-Niagara Falls trek. Partner Alexandra NoelTurner is going into her third ride, with all the proceeds going to the Princess Margaret Foundation for cancer research. "It is quite a distance and the effort and terrain make it tough at times, but you're there with thousands of riders and you're so inspired to do the ride," Foley said.

"There are so many people there working for the common good." After losing his father to Barry to cancer in 1998 and his aunt Mary O'Leary in 2008, Foley said he wanted to make an impact so that others won't suffer the same devastating effects. Upon developing an interest in cycling, he took to the roads to help out. Foley says in the past three years, he's likely raised more than $10,000 to fight the disease. Noel-Turner says with other events she has done, she has probably raised $12,000 herself in the same time period. Like Foley, she said she has friends and family members who had been diagnosed with the disease and in the past year it hit home again with her aunt Fabienne Chasse succumbing to breast cancer last April. "We want to prevent others from enduring that suffering," she said. The couple rides for a team with representatives

across the province known as Paramedics for a Cure. This year, three other county residents: Rick VanVlack, Suzanne Terpstra, and Troy Bellehumeur will also be rid-

ing and Foley said they're trying to fundraise together. Acoustic Grill owners Steve and Jenny Leigh Purtelle were moved when Foley approached them

about hosting a fundraiser for the team, particularly since Steve lost his own mother to breast cancer. They not only offered their space, but kicked in to help out. "When they approached me to have the fundraiser here, I was more than happy to help," said Steve. "Jenny and I donated all these steaks so they can raise money for the ride." With the steak dinners provided to a sold-out crowd of 60 people at $20 each, and with dessert donated by the Pastry House, the full proceeds from the evening went to the campaign. Foley and Noel-Turner said it was a nice event and a chance to meet with friends and family who came into town for the benefit, includ-

ing the night's entertainers. The night also featured a raffle and the kick-off of a silent auction, which will run into next month featuring items donated by local businesses, professional hockey teams like the Montreal Canadiens, Calgary Flames, and Hamilton Bulldogs, and other sponsors. "We couldn't have done this without Steve and Jenny," Foley said. "We'd also like to thank our many sponsors. We've had tremendous support from local businesses and outside the county." Foley said those interested in information on bidding in the auction, or in making a direct donation to the team can e-mail him at m_foley_7@hotmail.com for further details.

Public school board looking for ways to overcome $3 million shortfall Projections signal tough choices ahead for trustees Jason Parks

Staff writer

As expected, a bout of provincial belt tightening combined with declining enrollment and an existing $900,000 budget gap has the Hastings and Prince Edward

District School Board facing some tough challenges in the coming months. In report provided to local school board trustees by superintendent of businesses services Dave Rutherford Monday evening, the board will be looking at a $3 million shortfall as senior administration compiles its budget prior to submitting its final balanced numbers to the Ministry of Education at the

end of June. Rutherford said the Grants for Student Needs funding formula rolled out for 2012-2013 has several alterations and constraint measures that are either new this year or are being phased in over the next two years. “In terms of budget projections we have made leading up to the funding announcement made by the Ministry of Education, this

information essentially confirms that we do have a substantial challenge and it could be slightly more than $3 million once we have all the data in front of us,” Rutherford said. The board had already had a $900,000 shortfall from the current operation budget that was offset by an accumulated surplus. That shortfall, combined with a decline in the number

of students attending public schools in Prince Edward and Hastings counties had already left the board looking at some hard options in terms of balancing its books. Continued constraint measures have been adding to the board’s budget woes over the past year. The ministry reduced its provincial textbook funding and classroom computer funding programs by $25 million each and School board administration ($21.8 million to be phased in over three years) and professional development funding ($21 million) has also been reduced.

Going forward, the province will be altering the funding formula in 20132014 for secondary students that return to school for a fifth year after completing their high school diploma. As well, the Ministry of Education will be consulting stakeholders to develop proposals for school board amalgamation in areas of low population growth and declining enrolment. Rutherford has stated the board will examine all avenues available when balancing the budget including using accumulated surplus, staffing cuts and program reductions.

Wellington looking locally for recruits

Dukes commit to sign Pirates star Girduckis Jason Parks

Staff writer

A former Wellington Duke has been thrust into the NHL Playoff atmosphere after signing an entry contract last week. Netminder Paul Karpowich signed a two year, two way contract with the St. Louis Blues and has joined the NHL club for the remainder of the 2012 playoffs. Karpowich played for the Dukes in 2007-08 and although the regular season sample size was small, Blues scouts saw enough of the Thunder Bay native to draft him in seventh round of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, 185 overall. In 22 games for Wellington that season, Karpowich posted a record of 153-2, with three shutouts to go along with a 2.15 goals against average and a .922 save percentage. Dukes coach Marty Abrams said he recalls Karpowich fondly not only for this contributions on the ice but also for his integration in the Wellington community away from the rink. “He was a total workhorse every day,” Abrams said. “He came to practice prepared and ready to compete and in that way, he was a lot like Jordan Ruby.” After being picked up from Brooks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in the offseason, Karpowich, an avid outdoorsman, came to Wellington and instantly fell in love with the village. “He lived with Paul and Sandy Greer and he's kept in close contact with them since he left. I know he loved the community, he loved to fish and he was out fishing almost everyday with Doug Van Vlack in the first two months of the season,” Abrams said. It wasn't long after Karpowich put away his fishing rod that he began to feel run down and tired. Diagnosed with a virus that had mononucleosis-like symptoms, the goalie was lost to the Dukes for a large portion of the regular season. “At first, we couldn't get a handle on why he was so sick and there was a time we thought he might be lost to us for the season,” Abrams said. “But he was able to bounce back and play really well.”

Men’s opening tournament Saturday Event a precursor to golf club’s overhauled Thursday league Jason Parks

Staff writer

They've been back in the swing of things for nearly a month now so local duffers won't have early season rust to blame when the Picton Golf and Country Club hosts its annual men's opening tournament this Saturday. The club hosts a four man scramble event this weekend and there is a buzz around the course as warm spring conditions have the 18 hole championship circuit in great shape- an early week snow storm notwithstanding. Club president Dave MacKay said it was “killing him” to see the white stuff coming down on Monday but forecasts for sun this weekend has spirits

buoyed that the full slate of four man teams will not need toques and snowmobile gloves when teeing off. “We've been open for a month now which is a record for the club so we are well ahead of schedule. The course is in great shape. It's almost like early June conditions,” MacKay said. The four man scramble tournament will serve as a precursor to the Bay Mazda Thursday night Twilight league opening May 3. The men's twilight league at Picton has taken a bit of an overhaul this season, according to MacKay. This year, four man scramble teams will be playing head-to-head, meaning there will be eight golfers in a tee box and

teams will be maintained for the entire year. “We are trying to attract non members who are interested in playing once a week,” MacKay said. “We are excited to try a new format it's not something we've tried before...I think it makes for a good social time and that's really what this league is about. Getting together and doing the stuff golf people do. The Bay Mazda Thursday night twilight league has room for 18 teams but slots are filling up fast. Non members and singles are welcome and can contact the clubhouse to express their interest. A $30 registration fee applies to members and non-members.

The Wellington Dukes didn't have to go far to find their first recruit of the upcoming 2012-2013 season. The Dukes announced this past weekend they have signed 17-year-old Abbot Girduckis of the Picton Pirates. A Stirling native, Girduckis was the Empire league rookie of the year and was the top scoring 1995 birth player in all of Junior C hockey last season, notching 25 goals and 23 assists in 38 games last season for the 2011-2012 regular season champions. Playing on a line with former Wellington Duke Mitch Rosborough, Girduckis drew the attention of several Division 1 NCAA programs as well as OHL interest. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams scouted Girduckis several times this season and liked the way the 6'1”, 175 lbs “I really like his intensity,” Abrams said. “He doesn't take a lot of shifts off, he competes hard and does a lot of the little things well around the net.” Girduckis has joined the Dukes for their annual late summer training camp for the past two years and Abrams said a good relationship with the Girduckis family helped cement Abbott's decision to become a Wellington Duke., “We shared in his disappointment when he wasn't drafted in the 2011 OHL entry draft and we thought he should have been but he'll get a chance to skate at the Belleville Bulls mini-camp this spring,” Abrams said. Abrams also praised Duke alumnus and former Duke assistant coach Ryan Woodward for his work in helping Girduckis put together a “career season” in Picton. “(Pirates head coach) Ryan Woodward deserves all the credit in the world for playing Abbott in all situations. He played him with great players and Abbott had a career year last year for himself and a lot had to with coaching and exposure,” Abrams said, adding Girduckis showed improvements in his on ice confidence over the course of the season. “He developed a lot of confidence, wasn't afraid to

a. GIrDUCkIs

go out and try things, wasn't afraid to get out there and be physical and that Empire league is very physical,” Abrams said. “Whenever he made a mistake, right back out for his next shift and the mistakes became fewer and fewer.” In terms of filling out his roster, Abrams said the club will continue to look at players close to home and are in talks with Quinte AAA Red Devils forwards Tim Pandachuck and Geoff Clemison along with defenceman Riley McGuire, all of whom played call-up games for the Pirates during their Empire playoff final series against Campbellford. “The reason we are interested in them is they way they performed for Picton in the playoff run (after they were beat out of their OMHA playoffs). It's one thing to be key performer at the Midget level, but it's another to play against a pretty good team in Campbellford and I was impressed with the level of play. Any young player that could play in that series with that much intensity surrounding it could play for the Wellington Dukes and hats off to the league for having that level of hockey,” he said. While the team has a strong contingent of forwards returning, the blueline is somewhat bare with only Kevin Swales, Kyle Paat and Austin Broadhurst eligible to return this season. With that in mind, that club has received commitments from 1995-birth defenceman Jacob Hetherington of the Gananoque Islanders of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League and Nolan Powers, who played 37 games for the Napanee Raiders as a 16 year old this year.

Netminder fit in well in village

GOALIE, from page 26

Karpowich came back and was undefeated in regulation in a stretch of 11 games running from late October to late January. In the 2008 playoffs, he carried the lions share of work, going 9-4 and propelling Wellington to the Southeast conference finals where they ultimately lost to Markham in five games. After his lone season in Wellington, Karpowich moved on to Clarkson University where he appeared in 130 games for the Golden Knights over the past four

seasons, accumulating a 4666-16 record to go along with 2.93 goals against average and a .910 save percentage. Abrams said he e-mailed Karpowich congratulations on behalf of the organization. “He e-mailed me back and said he would get in touch with us soon as its been absolutely crazy for him over the past couple of days,” Abrams said. “We wish him the best. He's one of those guys that walks through the dressing room door and makes a not only a wonderful impact on the franchise but the community and people of Wellington.”

Young blueliners in team’s plans

DUKES, from page 26

“While we are committed to developing those three defensemen (Powers, Hetherington and McGuire), we would like to bring in one more experienced defenceman to go along with Swales, Broadhurst and Paat but, if

not, we are comfortable with those three guys bringing the younger guys along,” Abrams said. All of the above players plus several more prospects are expected to partake in the Wellington Dukes annual spring training camp on May 19- 20 at the Essroc Arena.

Kicking gives Panthers extra dimension to beat Huskies Converts, field position pay off in opener AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

In an opening game where the PECI Junior Rugby Panthers and North Hastings Huskies had several strengths in common, the Panthers had one dimension setting them apart. Mason Norlock went three-for-three on converts in the 21-17 win, making the difference in accuracy when facing his Huskies’ counterpart who just made one kick. More than just the accuracy, which Norlock attributes to his seasoning in soccer, he also helped the club with his boot in open play. In heavy, chilling winds, Norlock was able to gain his side a lot of ground on drop kicks and plays to touch with the wind. “I was working on that with him in practices and he

of three North Hastings Huskies to score the eventual winning try in PECI’s first game of the Bay of Quinte junior rugby game, a 21-17 decision. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

had some big kicks today,” said coach Ken Macpherson. “That put us in good position a few times.” The dividends came almost immediately as Norlock pinned the Huskies deep on a first-quarter drop kick. The Panthers took over the ball inside the Huskies’ 22 and Dekoda Way rumbled

into the try zone. He was held up, but eight-man James VanDusen struck for the first converted try off his team’s ensuing five-metre scrum. With the wind in the second quarter, the Huskies got two long runs for tries from their own strong eight-man to lead 10-7 at the half. VanDusen would score

again on an eight-man pick from about midfield in the third to retake the lead and then PECI put a stranglehold on the game with the lone try against the wind in the fourth. On a ruck deep in the Huskies’ zone, Way joined late and knocked his opponents back from the line of scrimmage. He picked up the ball himself and charged 20 metres for the score. North Hastings did manage to score once on the tail end of some strong PECI defence, holding them up twice in the try zone, but couldn’t muster anything against a tired, but resilient Panthers’ squad. “We didn’t give up, we just kept getting better,” Norlock said of the effort. Macpherson, too, was impressed saying the effort was solid, particiularly from the forward, and his team only conceded scoring on a few minor errors. The Panthers were to face Bayside today.

MEMORIAMS

GARBUTT- In memory of Robert James, March 17, 1939-April 29, 2008. We think of you in silence We often speak your name But all we have are memories And your picture in a frame. Your resting place we visit, And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache, As we turn and leave you there. Always in my heart, Marilyn. HENNESSY- Jim. June 27, 1956April 29, 2000. Dearest Brother, I thought of you today, My heart full of love, Can't believe we're here again The time keeps moving on I am still full of pain, sadness & tears But also of great memories with smiles & laughter You are missed so much Everyday that goes by I'll have a thought of how "You" would have done something Then I'll shed a tear or two Because you are not here to help me in "Your" way. If my loving could have saved you Then you certainly would not be gone When you went a part of me went also Someday I'll see you again We'll put our arms around each other And it will be like we were never apart Til then, I'll think of you, Looking down, keeping us safe with your loving eyes. Always all my love, your big sister Donna xoxo McCONNELL, Elwood. In loving memory of our brother who passed away April 23, 2011. It's hard to believe, You are no longer here We think of you, You feel so near. To hear your voice, To see your smile, To sit and talk to you awhile To be together the same old way Would be our dearest wish today. Forever loved and deeply missed, Sisters, Loretta, Helena and Fern.

JOHN MACEY

Jan. 16, 1946 - Apr. 23, 2002

God saw you getting sicker and a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you and whispered “Come to Me”, With tearful eye’s we watched you, We watched you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. We lost and heaven gained, The most wonderful Dad the world contained. There’s just one thing that makes us glad, God chose you to be our Dad. In Loving Memory Gone, but never, ever forgotten. Dad/Grandpa we love you and miss you very, very much, Michelle, Scott, Macey, Gavin, Dave, Don, Sandra and Jarrett

IN LOVING MEMORY OF JACK PURTELLE April 27, 2010

No one know how much I miss you, No one knows the bitter pain I have suffered since I lost you, Life has never been the same. In my heart your memory lingers Sweetly, tender, fond and true, There is not a day dear Jack I do not think of you. Always remembered by Kathy and family.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, assess a situation before acting. Only then will you have a clear view and map out the steps that you must take. Pisces may help you with your plan. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it can sometimes feel impossible to find that perfect someone for a loving relationship. If you're single, let a friend set you up this week. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, with so many momentous things going on it can be hard to keep track of all the things you need to get done. A few tips on organization will go a long way. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you just may find that when you stop thinking so intently about something, all of the answers become clear. This could be the solution you were seeking. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may find it puzzling that so many people keep turning to you for words of wisdom. If you have the advice to offer, go ahead. You can also politely decline. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, look internally for help this week. Though there are plenty of reasons to avoid an activity, there are many excellent reasons why you should engage yourself.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Happy times are on the horizon, Libra. You just have to make it through a few more obstacles and tasks before you get there. The finish line is in sight. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, when it rains it pours, and this week you'll find out the true meaning of that expression. But being a fighter means you'll find the silver lining. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, although you may want to help when a friend comes to you, there is not much you can offer in this particular situation besides support and encouragement. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Things are completely out of your hands, Capricorn. While you thought you would feel helpless, this experience can actually prove liberating for you. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, the beginning of the "fun-in-thesun" season is starting and you are very excited about all of the outdoor recreation prospects. Make your to-do list now. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 It could take a helping hand to pull you up from a tricky situation, Pisces. You just may be lucky to have this person on your side.

This year coincided with Earth Day and the public really seemed to appreciate it and all the volunteers on the Stewardship Council have fun doing it — it's just one of those things that's very positive,� he said.

QHC approves balanced operating budget for 2012-2013

Jason Parks

Staff writer

It has taken a great amount of foresight, depends greatly on meeting certain targets as well as the continuation of positive trends and will require close examination going forward but when all items are considered, Quinte Health Care (QHC) will be submitting a balanced budget to Ministry of Health and Long-term Care. QHC’s board approved the 2012-2013 operating budget Tuesday and the expected cost to run the foursite hospital over the next 12 months is $194, 992, 215. The financial tap dancing done over the past few months to bring the hospital’s number in line has been due to a myriad of factors. Provincial belt tightening, a new funding formula, inflation, escalating human resources costs and patient flow issues are among the factors that had administrators grappling with the budget for several months. Hospitals in the South East Local Health Integration Network were told earlier this year to plan for a zeroper-cent base funding increase. Given the annual two-per-cent cost of inflation due to union and non-union bargained salary and compensation increases, medical and surgical supplies, drugs and medicines, et cetera., the belt tightening was already under way. The hospital was dealt another body blow earlier this month when the new Health-Based Allocation Model (HBAM) that is due to replace the global funding model was decoded. It showed another one-percent decrease in operational funds for QHC. All this left QHC with about a $4-million budget gap that required fancy financial planning by president and chief financial officer Brad Herrington and his staff. Vice-chair Steve Blakely were among several board members commending Herrington after the head of the hospital’s finances provided a high level report on the development and proposed implementation of the operating plan and budget. Not only dealing with a zero-per-cent increase, Herrington planned for a oneper-cent decrease due to the HBAM, meaning the budget was built to absorb last week’s bad news. “I really commend all the hard work that's gone into this plan and your foresight,” Blakely said. “I think this is certainly going to be one of the most difficult years we've seen financially on our watch.” And it could get worse next year for QHC as the HBAM was not completely of Plum Hollow Inc.

rolled out this year to hospitals to ensure drops in funding were minimal. In 2013-2014, QHC will likely see a further decrease in funding however the task in front of the hospital currently for the next 12 months will be to see QHC's costs stay under control. Expenditures in sick time and overtime for front-line staff will be closely monitored as will equipment maintenance and material usage. The 2011-2012 post construction operating plan is currently on hold and won't commence save a few critical areas until an envelope of funding is delivered from the province. According to Herrington, the Alternate Level of Care (ALC) patient population at QHC has been trending down over the past six months and this will need to continue. “In recent months we've reintroduced and brought in some new processes and programs to help bring that ALC number down,” Herrington said. “There are huge clinical benefits for our organization

for having a low ALC population and now we have to sustain it.” One budget risk that is difficult to plan around is the current drug shortage plaguing virtually all Canadian hospitals. Currently, QHC has yet to feel the effects of the shortage but the issue is expected to be a continuing one until drug maker Sandoz returns to full capacity at its plant in Quebec. “The real work is going to come from watching and making sure we realize those savings,” QHC president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts said. “We know now it's going to be time for us to find efficiencies and make process improvements because it's all about improving the quality of care. We know that as you do that, you save money.” In total, the budget prior to building related items is set at producing a $171,700 surplus. After building related items, QHC will run a deficit of $1.3 million which is permitted by the province provided the operation number

is in the black. Egberts said the hospital would prefer to meet its on going building needs but the current financial climate simply won't allow it. “It allows you keep you building up to date and in good working shape but we believe we can manage this year and possibly another year balancing to that top line only,” she said.
