Tribunal quashes Ostrander Point project Members show concern for Blanding’s turtle; Gilead can appeal chaD ibbotson

RELAXING

Large crowds descend on Hilllier for annual lavender festival paGe 3

It's a landmark decision in Ontario, but one that may not put the brakes on many more wind projects. An Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) has halted the Ostrander Point Wind Energy Park proposed by Gilead Power, reversing the decision of the director of the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) because the tribunal found increased vehicle traffic would pose a threat to the globally endangered Blanding's turtle.

The Prince Edward County Field Naturalists appealed the MOE's decision to approve Gilead's Renewable Energy Approval (REA) application on Dec. 20, 2012. The developers were also allowed, after receiving a permit under the Endangered Species Act, to “kill, harm, and harass” the Blanding's turtle and whip-poor-will as well as damage their habitats during construction and operation of the facility. Following a 40-day appeal hearing the group got word on July 3, that the ERT had decided in their favour saying “mortality due to roads, brought by increased vehicle traffic, poachers and predators, directly in the habitat of Blanding's turtle, a species that is globally endangered and threatened in Ontario, is serious and irreversible harm to Blanding's turtle at Ostrander Point Crown Land Block that will not be effectively mitigated by the conditions in the REA.” The tribunal decison said the appeal was allowed under section 145.2.1 (5) of the Environmental Protection Act. “The tribunal revokes the decision of the director,” the decision says.

INITIAL REACTION

Field Naturalists member Myrna Wood, who helped bring the case before the tribunal, said the group was “ecstatic” upon hearing the news. Wood said the field naturalists remained confident

throughout the hearing and weren't shocked with the outcome. “We're not surprised that they revoked the approval. That's why we appealed, we knew that an independent tribunal would find that this is not the place to be developing anything, much less turbines,” she said. The field naturalists have raised about $60,000 so far to cover legal costs, but still have approximately another $60,000 still to raise. “It has been a concern for us of course. It's a large task. Since the approval has been revoked we've had donations coming in and we sure hope that continues because we really do need to meet our legal bills,” Wood said. From the date of the ruling Gilead Power has a 30day window to appeal. The appeal can only deal with legal process used in the hearing. “We are reviewing decision, and assessing the options going forward,” the company said in a short statement to the Toronto Star. Wood said the Field Naturalists are prepared to continue the fight if an appeal is launched. “They can only appeal based on what they believe are legal errors in the decision … but we and our witnesses are prepared to fight that in divisional court,” she said.

Lawyer for the Field Naturalists Eric Gillespie told the Star that he wasn't aware of an approval ever being revoked before in Canada. Councillor Robert Quaiff is Prince Edward County's representative on the Wainfleet working group which represents dozens of Ontario municipalities who have declared they are not “willing hosts” to industrial wind turbines.

He said congratulations began to quickly roll in from the working group after the decision. “The reaction was all congratulatory, really. They're all ecstatic that we won,” he said. Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith said he was satisfied with the decision. “It's been a long time coming and it's a hardfought battle for a lot of

Gary's Wilson work on the Fort Kente project and with Mariners' Park Museum will forever be remembered. Wilson was honoured by his peers over the weekend with a plaque bearing his name forever associating him to Fort Kente, which now rests safely at the museum thanks in large part to his efforts. The plaque recognizes Wilson “for his many years of service and dedication to the Mariners' Park Museum.” The 72-year-old Wilson is a retired board member who has been battling Alzheimer's disease for the past two years, but you wouldn't know it by the way he charmed onlookers with jokes and anecdotes on

siasm, the leadership and just what comes out of his heart that is transferred into all of us and you can't replace that,” he said. Partnership committee member Jim Plomer spoke fondly of Wilson's commitment to the museum. “One thing we wanted to recognize today is Fort Kente. In 2003 Gary along with some of his committee members arranged to have Fort Kente brought here and reestablished on this property at the Mariners' museum and it took a lot of work,” Plomer said. “… Luckily we've got Fort Kente here and she's established and not going anywhere other than this property and it's part of this museum and the history of this county.” He said when the museum started there was around $20 to work with, but now sports a $30,000 bank account thanks to initiatives started by Wilson like the gala dinner and annual fish fry. Plomer said Wilson's children and grandchildren will always be able to appreciate his accomplishments. “They can come here and they're going to be able see a plaque that's honouring Gary for all the years,” he said. Wilson recalled being a member in the Canadian Navy and always having a keen interest in marine history. He said he saw contributing the museum as giving back to a community he loves. “Naval transportation just had so much to do with our history I just thought it would be a good way to give back to the good lord and to the community in general,” he said. He said the fort was just one of many projects taken on by a group of volunteers during his 15 years working with the museum. He said the museum started with little money and “a plan that looked as big as Disney World.” He thanked everyone for the honour. “This is something you dream about, but a lot of times it doesn't happen,” he said.

Lavender festival brings 1,500 people to farm Saturday was best retail day at farm in six years Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The second annual Prince Edward County Lavender festival surpassed the expectations of organizers, more than doubling last year's attendance numbers. It was a celebration not just of its scent, but of the sight, taste and touch of lavender. The sensory celebration, held by local lavender farm Prince Edward County Lavender, took place Saturday and Sunday. The brainchild of Prince Edward County Lavender owners Rolande Ann Leblanc and Derek Ryles, the event jumped from an attendance of 700 last year to between 1,500–1,600 over two days this time around. Visitors were invited to learn about the lavender essential oil distillation process, learn some plant care and maintenance practices, make a lavender craft, sample some culinary lavender, and even pick their own lavender. Live music from a variety of local acts, maple pork sausage from JC Nyman Farms, and pies from Suzanne Lafrance rounded out the festival. Owner Leblanc said it was an excellent day and even the weather co-operated. “It was excellent. We had three bands, the sun was with us, everybody was in heaven with lavender,� she said. “It's just fabulous. We were expecting an increase because last year was the first one, but to have that response and only two year of the event was outstanding.� Leblanc said the highlight of the festival for she and Ryles is seeing people enjoying all the lavender products and the lavender field. “When they first get there and they peek at the purple field and the awe they give is real satisfaction for us,� she said. “We

worked so hard at planting that and weeding it and making sure everything is neatly done.� Leblanc said the festival always gives a boost to the business, but said the weekend numbers at the lavender shop were the best the business has seen. “Saturday was our biggest day ever of all the retail days we've had over the past six years,� she said, adding that the shop was packed throughout the festival. She said the business hasn't done a large amount of advertising for the festival, but attributed the huge response this year to viral viva voce marketing. She said Prince Edward County Lavender had a booth at Toronto's One of a Kind

Spring Show. A survey held throughout this weekends festival showed the method worked, Leblanc said. “Word of mouth is our first gate,â€? she said. â€œâ€Ś We had a little survey prepared to see how people found out about the festival and One of a Kind came back quite often.â€? Friends Brenda Given and Robina Wood were visiting the festival from Trenton and Frankford, respectively. “It's beautiful,â€? said Wood. Wood said she enjoys lavender products. “I use it when I can. I like it,â€? she said. “I fell in love with lavender in the south of France. It feels nice,â€? she said. The pair were attending

the festival for the first time after visiting a local winery. “It's a great celebration,� Given said. “It's too bad more people don't know about it.� The pair did some shopping and had a wine tasting and made a fun day out of it, with the festival as the centrepiece. “It's great for advertising the county for something other than the wineries. This isn't as well known,� said Given. Given said she believes she'll be back again next year and may even convince more people to come along. “We might bring some of our other friends down if they're available because I think it's well worth coming to,� she said.

Focus groups next step in community development process South East CCAC busy connecting Participants must register in advance to take part in upcoming public sessions Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The County is looking for public input that could shape the direction of community development. The municipality issued a release last week saying the Prince Edward County Community Development Commission (CDC) and consulting firm Millier Dickinson Blais are seeking community input which could determine the strategic priorities for the County in the future. Public consultation began with interviews and an online survey and now continues with several focus groups that will be

conducted this month. “The purpose of the focus group is to provide residents with an opportunity to give feedback in a collaborative setting where the views of others can be heard,” the release says. The consulting firm will gather information which will help identify the strengths and weaknesses of the county as well as the challenges it faces. The first community focus group will be held Monday, July 15 at 6:30 p.m. at Bloomfield Town Hall. The second will be held Thursday, July 18 at 1 p.m. in Hillier Town Hall and a third is scheduled for July 18 at 7 p.m. in Welling-

ton Town Hall. The release says based on initial feedback collected through early consultation two additional focus group sessions will be geared specifically toward the tourism and agriculture sectors. Both sessions will take place on July 15 at Bloomfield Town Hall. The tourism focus group will be held at noon followed by the agriculture focus group at 3 p.m. Operators in both sectors are encouraged to attend. “Who better to provide input into this important plan than the people who live and work in the community,” CDC

Chair Terry Shortt said in the release. “I encourage all residents to get involved by responding to the survey or attending a focus group session.” The release says anyone can attend one of the community focus group dates, but must register as each session is limited to 30 people. To register contact Jason Dias at Millier Dickinson Blais, 1-855-367-3535 ext. 229. The survey is still live and can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/ s/PECCommunityDevelopmentStrategicPlan or through the links on the municipal website.

people with care across region

As the population of eastern Ontario continues to get older, the South East Community Care Access Centre (SE CCAC) is working to ensure it matches as many people as it can with the health care services they need. Following its annual general meeting June 26, the SE CCAC released its statistics for the 2012-2013 term. Over the 12-month period, it provided care for more than 33,410 people, including overseeing provisions of inhome care for 20,889 people. Some 14,481 seniors were supported enabling them to stay in their home independently, and 3,451 children received health services at

school through provisions set out by the CCAC. Also, more than 1,242 seniors were helped in their transition to long-term care homes and more than 12,071 people were assisted in returning home from the hospital. Personal support hours across the region were up 100,248 hours over the previous year. CEO Jacqueline Richmond said the CCAC is co-ordinating care for more people and it is also seeing increased and more specialized needs. Even with those challenges, the CCAC balanced its $109-million budget and turned a small surplus. -Staff

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933

■ The members of the Picton Collegiate board spoke at length about purchasing an Elizabeth Street property they had been leasing from the W.H. Dayton estate for motor mechanics classes. The property would be considered a valuable site for the future expansion of technical and agricultural classes at the school. ■ Director of dairying George H. Barr said the county’s 16 cheese factories were on par with or better than any similar group of factories in Canada after he completed a two-day tour of the facilities. Both the quality of the cheeses produced and the cleanliness of the factories helped Barr conclude the facilities were worthy of his declaration. ■ Many local farmers were watching with interest as Belleville’s Walter Ross was about to harvest his peanut crop. The novelty planting, said to be one-of-its-kind in the district, easily matured Ross said.

60 years ago — 1953

■ The Prince Edward Chamber of Commerce was involved in a campaign to apply reflective tape to the rear bumper. The tape cost $1 per five feet and was said to be reflective enough at night to attract the attention of a driver for a half-mile at least. Several consumers said the tape remained visible for a half--mile. ■ A Rochester, N.Y. man, Everett N. Cowan, who kept a cottage at East Lake, said that sawbill ducks were to blame for a depletion in the number of game fish in local lakes and bays. Cowan said if action was not taken to reduce the number of the ducks, perhaps through bounty, the fish stocks would be seriously depleted. ■ Prospects for a Social Credit candidate in the federal Prince Edward-Lennox election campaign appeared slim as a only 14 people attended a nomination meeting and none took the opportunity to speak to the crowd about running.

40 years ago — 1973

■ A group called the Quinte Association petitioned the provincial government to limit industrial truck traffic on Hwy 33 and create an alternative route to the north in order to preserve the scenic and historical waterfront parkway. The group was told that Lennox and Addington County council agreed to a feasibility study on alternative routes. ■ County firemen had a busy weekend as the Bloomfield and Picton departments were called on to fight a fire north of Cherry Valley. Sparks from a bonfire had ignited a drive house. Also several departments were called to respond to gas fires in Waupoos and at Point Petre.

20 years ago — 1993

■ Camp Trillium at Garratt’s Island officially opened a new chapel and activity hall thanks to $50,000 in donations from the Odd Fellow and Rebekah Lodges. The facility was formally named after former Rebekah member Helen Bowman. Bowman’s grandchildren were on hand to dedicate a plaque for the new building at the camp dedicated to helping children suffering with lifethreatening illness and their siblings. ■ Past and present members of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment and a number of Second World War veterans met to recognize fallen comrades on the 50th anniversary of the Sicily landing.

From a computer to a quiet lake

It wasn’t quite the experience we had last year on this small lake near where I live, but very close. As we eased the canoe and kayak into the water, a loon remained just offshore, paying no heed to the conversation going on as we prepared to launch. This spirit of the north seemed quite at home on this tiny, shallow lake and it has been encouraging to see so many of them occupy suitable nesting areas in the Quinte region. We had heard the bird’s familiar conversational yodel upon arriving so we knew it was there, but the laughing tremolo call signifying danger was never heard. He was comfortable with our presence. In the distance, one, perhaps two, different piedbilled grebes echoed their cuckoo-like clucking notes from deep within the cattails, both of them descending toward the end in gasping wheezes as though totally exhausted by the effort. Marsh wrens and swamp sparrows also called nearby, none of them seen. That’s the way it is with wetland birds. Call to warn of danger or attract a mate, however, remaining hidden means a better chance of survival from any predators. The tactic has served them well. An intimacy with the calls of birds is not cut and dried. Some songs are as the books and recordings portray, while others produce variations as though they were local dialects, but still recognizable as to species. There are informal and

seemingly meaningless conversational notes, barely discernible, while other notes serve to identify the location of their hidden partners without giving away too much information. Notes of adoration between parent and their children in the nest, and notes of alarm when an intruder comes too close, and notes of distress as a parent may feign injury and lead a potential threat in an opposite direction. All these variations owned and emitted by some 350 species of birds in the Quinte area. It is a learning experience in which we never stop learning. We were baffled by a series of persistent calls in the distance that sounded like young ospreys, only to come across a nervous gaggle of baby Canada geese, concerned by our approaching boats. There is seldom any resemblance in the voices of adult birds and their young. Listen to young Baltimore orioles sometime. There was a slight breeze

coming in from over the treeline that produced a set of nervous ripples on the shallow lake that only increased as the morning wore on. It seemed not to affect the two Caspian terns that put on a spectacular stage show for us as they sighted up a fish, then dove straight into the water with wings stretched back and overlapping their tail. Into the water, emerging with a successful catch, and out again, nonstop to take flight again. Closer to a wooded area, the liquid, ethereal, flute-like notes of a veery wheeled downward to be absorbed by the dense foliage of the forest from which it called. An eastern towhee sang its distinctive notes from a cedar-covered pasture field, habitat where one would expect this robin-sized member of the sparrow family. An outing like this is more meaningful if we can put a face to the invisible sounds we hear. Right away, we recognized the dry rattle of a belted kingfisher, and then we caught sight of him, his strong, choppy flight disappearing across the lake and into the haze of early morning. A pair of mute swans floated effortlessly in the middle of the lake near an islet of cattails, and then mysteriously disappeared, likely keeping out of sight so as not to give away the location of its nest, until we passed. Several small flocks of ducks flew over in the distance, but they remained “GBB’s” – Gone Before Binoc-

ulars. We admit to being poor with ducks in flight, although the flight pattern and profile of a pair of mallards was quite diagnostic. The game of birding is a game of learning, and I have been learning for over 50 years. It takes that long to be proficient, yet new information comes our way daily, to be stored somewhere in the upper level for later retrieval. This little lake is large enough to be captivating, but small enough to paddle around in a little more than an hour. It is one of few lakes in existence whose shorelines have not yet been extensively developed and the handful of houses that occupy the shoreline, are tastefully tucked in behind the shoreline vegetation. There are no lawns mowed to the water’s edge here and no proliferation of intrusive docks. The residents who do live here care enough about their shoreline to leave it natural and not assault it with concrete. It is a quiet paddle around the lake’s circumference that is private and peaceful. We need more special places like this in our lives. And we need to get out from behind our screens – both TV and computer – to take it all in.

Health in response to an adverse biological test result. Water samples collected on July 4 and 5 indicated the tap water was safe for use and free from bacterial contamination, however. As of July 8, the public health unit lifted the advisory, allowing resi-

dents to continue their regular drinking water usage. For information on the boil water advisory, residents are encouraged to contact the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit at 1613-966-5500 ext. 677. Or those who are interested in

4-H offers Helping Hand The Prince Edward County 4-H Club recently held a barbecue to kick off its cel-

ebrations for the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Canada. The club raised $500 June 29 to be split between the Picton United Church County Food Bank, The Storehouse Foodbank, and Cows For Kenya. The next stage of the celebration will be an exhibit of 4-H artifacts in County museums, starting at Macaulay Village this week. (Submitted photo)

THANKFULLY, the endangered Blanding’s turtle takes up its residence near Ostrander Point and Ontario’s Environmental Review Tribunal decided the construction and ongoing operation of industrial wind turbines in that habitat was too significant a threat to its survival to be ignored. That’s good news, barring appeal, because it takes away a wind project that had the potential to do damage to a lot more than just one species of turtle. The county’s south shore is still an Important Bird Area and it is still located on rare alvar habitat. From testimony the tribunal heard, there is reason to believe the natural environment would be impacted and there are no guarantees, even with the best of mitigation methods suggested, that damage would not be done to the many species that live among that habitat. In fact, it would have been nice to see an even stronger message from the tribunal about the potential for that harm so this community can stop fighting internally and stop raising money to wage a similar war over future planned projects. It also appears the tribunal didn’t go far enough in addressing human health when considering the impact industrial wind has on those around them. It appeared after the Chatham-Kent tribunal hearing that the question was no longer one of if industrial wind turbines could cause problems that affected the health of those living in close proximity to them, but instead the degree of those problems. This time around, the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County put on the stands a number of people who claimed to be adversely affected by the installations in their own communities, yet no one had been able to establish a causal link between the degrees of annoyance they suffered and the turbines themselves. That said, the tribunal members reported that they found the evidence of all the witnesses called “credible.” Something is missing there if people are saying they are suffering, a body that is entrusted to protect them believes it is so, yet it continues to permit the perceived cause of that suffering until it receives a “smoking gun” link. Regulators, such as the Ministry of the Environment, should be working on a precautionary basis to try to limit harm until they can effectively rule out claims that harm has come from a particular source. After hearing the discussions in Demorestville as well as those made previously elsewhere, it appears there is enough evidence of both indirect and direct impacts on human health as a result of turbine installations. Therefore, it should be incumbent on government to get it right before issuing the permit. Grassroots groups like APPEC or the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists shouldn’t be forced to foot the bill when no one appears ready to dismiss their claims entirely. It’s time Ontario forgets about the economic value behind these turbines — if, contrary to most reports, there is value — and takes a stand to put residents’ health first and foremost in the talks.

Reasons play classic hits to benefit local museums, libraries

A fundraising dance for The Prince Edward County Museums, Quinte Educational Museum & Archives, and The County of Prince Edward Public Library and Archives is being held on Friday, July 26 from 8 p.m. to midnight at the Prince Edward Community Centre in Picton. Music will be provided by the popular band The Reasons, known for their energetic mix of ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s tunes. A light meal will be served at 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person or $35 per couple and available at the Picton and Wellington branches of the library. If paying with Visa or MasterCard, tickets can be ordered by phone through Jennifer Lyons at the County Museums at 613-476-2148 ext. 258. “This will be the second year we have held this fundraiser,” says Library chief executive officer Barbara Sweet. “It was such fun and so successful last year that we are happy to be able to partner with the museums and QEMA to do it again.” Another special event is on the calendar for the day after the dance. On Saturday, July 27 between 11 a..m. and 4 p.m. the inaugural Al Purdy Picnic will be held. The occasion presents an opportunity to visit the Aframe on Roblin Lake of the famous late poet and his wife Eurithe. The Aframe will be a retreat for Writers in Residence. Everyone is invited to park at the Ameliasburgh Town Hall, pick up a map and a schedule of events, and make a day of it. There will be picnic lunches for purchase at the hall, or visitors can bring their own lunch. Al Purdy films will be screened in the hall as well. Stroll or cycle through the village and visit the

You can fill a bag with books for only $2.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Picton shoots self in the foot by not catering to guests As a former resident of the town of Picton, I feel very strongly about reporting my findings to you regarding the town so far t this season, from May to present day. If it was not for Tim Hortons and Mac’s Milk, the town might just as well close right down at night. Picton is in the heart of Ontario’s prime tourist areas and widely promoted by several major newspapers including the Toronto Star. As far as I can see, Picton has just shot itself in the foot. No restaurant service is

available after 9 p.m. Before the time change, only spotty openings with poor food and terrible service area available. I see a major change since I moved away to Bowmanville in June 2010. If you are a fisherman and need fuel for your boat or truck at 6 a.m. there is only one place to get your supplies and it is not Tim Hortons. If you want motel accommodation, be prepared to pay Holiday Inn Express rates for pooor rooms , no service, unfriendly staff, no pool,

and certainly, no complementary breakfast. I am not a tourist, but remain a landowner in the county. I feel strongly that someone from your paper interview a few tourists to obtain their stories and their opinions. Recently, I visited Sandbanks Provincial Park — a key attraction. It is not being kept up. I purchased a season pass costing over $100, more than I paid in other years. OK, costs have gone up, but what do I get for my $100? The water and sand always were and remain free, but the wash-

room facilities are atrocious! Dirty, filthy pig styes. I will not go back. That is no place to take my young grandchildren who would love the beach experience. Picton has a major problem that permeates throughout. I know I am not alone in voicing this complaint. By the way, there is a wonderful little restaurant in Cherry Valley just beating the pants off everyone in town. Lyle Jackson Bowmanville

It’s time to take political action to save our hospital

In the 24 years I have lived in Prince Edward County, I’ve come to love and admire the passion of county people for their community. Through thick and thin, we stick together and fight against injustices like government bullying, our hospital cuts, charging for the ferry, et cetera. When things have to be done like reopening the Regent Theatre, developing a hospice, or supporting a neighbour in trouble, we do it. Our entire health system

is in much disarray and I am so confused. What is happening behind all the closed-door meetings? There are so many associations and groups giving out so many messages that are conflicting, even untrue. We are being treated like second-class citizens by QHC and the bureaucrats in Toronto. Our backs are to the wall and it is time to fight en mass or lose. We, the residents of Prince Edward County, must take action.

Professionals, tradesmen, housewives, workers, farmers, winery people, families, businesses, tourism, raise your voices! I am not a medical expert, just a person who wants to take a stand for what is fair. If you agree with me, please let me know. We have some very qualified medical experts who agree. The government hates people who make a noise and protest in large numbers with media

attention.Let’s do it! The Liberal government has wasted $600 million by cancelling contracts with construction companies who had signed contracts to build equipment for two gas plants in two different ridings. The decision to do this was a political move. Our needed health dollars were miniscule by comparison to $600 million. Watch for more information to come. Honey King

When will the Ontario Parks money finally stop?

Ontario Parks recently published its Preliminary Management Plan for North Beach Provincial Park. One proposal is to develop a parking lot and fee station on four hectares of Ontario Parks-owned land that provides access to the Pleasant Bay sandbar which is Crown land and not administered in any way by

Ontario Parks. At the moment there is free and unrestricted public access to the sandbar. At the recent open house, the park superintendent told me that the new parking lot would replace the now legal parking on County Rd. 27 which would be changed to a noparking area.

This would force residents and visitors who have no intention of visiting North Beach Provincial Park, to pay Ontario Parks $14 for the privilege of visiting a non- Ontario Parks area. The proposal seems to me to be nothing but a money grab by Ontario Parks. What is next on their

list? Will Ontario Parks start charging people to park at the municipally owned parking lot located next to the Dunes Beach day area on County Rd. 12? Will we residents soon have to pay to visit Point Petre? Where will it stop? John Blake Cherry Valley

Is it not too late to conserve Picton’s heritage now?

Is it not like closing the barn after the cows have escaped to have a group want to conserve Picton at this point? The stone church on main, the old Homer Shield building just a stones throw away. Once beautiful examples of our past, now

turned into scars on the main through? Council giving away farm land for homes? More farmland that could provide food in a n age where food shortages are big news, turned into ,Yup, you guessed it, another winery that we don't need.

Important business like canning factories, meat packing plants and the likes gone, and with them young people who have to go away to find work. Trying to turn Picton into a suburb of Belleville is not the answer. Yes Picton is a tourist

town, yet as late as the 1970s it was also a working community that could take care of it's own all year round. That’s the heritage we should be striving for....not just a look! Jamie Hanna Wellington

Hospice to open its doors Saturday AdAmBrAmBurger

Staff writer

Hospice Prince Edward has had plenty to celebrate in terms of its residential hospice project over the past couple of years. It’s a good bet, however, that all of those milestones will take a backseat to the one to be accomplished this Saturday afternoon. At 2 p.m. at 40 Downes Avenue, Hospice officials and other local stakeholders will be on hand to officially cut the ribbon on the new three-bed facility. About two years ago, Hospice Prince Edward started talking seriously about the dream when it met with the Picton Rotary Club to set up committees to look into starting a residential facility in Picton.

Former county resident Bob Norton agreed to donate $100,000 at that time and the Rotary Club had another $100,000 entrusted to it by the late Harry Young for a project to benefit the community. After Hospice went to the County with its hopes to see a residential hospice facility, then at Benson Hall, the community threw itself behind the project with great gusto bringing in a lot of private money. The first signs of that support came as the inaugural Hike For Hospice in the county raised $51,000 last May and the Autumn Leaves Gala in the fall brought in another $85,000 last November. It was there that Hospice Prince Edward announced it had agreed to purchase 40

Downes Avenue to house the facility — a new house that was more suited to the project and to pilot funding the South East LHIN had set aside for residential hospice projects. After much negotiation, the LHIN agreed to move forward with Hospice Prince Edward on the three-bedroom facility with a commitment of $190,000 in funding annually to allow the facility to operate. Since, Mark Davis has agreed to chair the Lighting The Way community campaign to help make the project sustainable. Hospice staff also moved their offices into the building over the past month. Public tours are available today from 4-7 p.m. and Saturday from 10-4 p.m.. All are welcome to celebrate.

On Saturday, July 20, 2013, Sandbanks Summer Village will once again team up with the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation to host the second annual Summer Aid Celebration, an event in support of priority medical equipment needs at Picton Hospital. Last year’s inaugural event raised $4,400 towards the campaign for digital mammography and ultrasound at PECMH. The charity barbecue, which includes a raffle and silent auction, promises to be a memorable event for all those in attendance. Guests will enjoy friendly, poolside and land competitions while having the opportunity to buy raffle tickets or bid on fabulous, local prizes including a new barbecue, a week’s stay at the Summer Village and numerous gift certificates. Helicopter tours will be available on site as well as

Fungal disease black knot affects plum trees, sweet, sour, and choke cherry trees

ASK A  MASTER GARDENER SANDRA GORANSON

species of the genus Prunus in Ontario including

picture of how the fungus affects certain of the Prunus genus. So far, experimentation has lead them to conclude that one variation of affects all plums, both the wild variety and various cultivars from other parts of the world, and a different variation affects chokecherries and possibly sour and even sweet cherries. Further experimentation and observation is clearly required. Black knot can be identified only when it shows outward symptoms. Spring is the time when the fungal spores are ready to spread the disease. Rain is required to support the

plums, sweet and sour cherries and chokecherries. The fungal infection that causes the damage is Apiosporina morbosa. The most significant information that I was able to gather was on the OMAFRA web sites, which are maintained by Ontario’s Ministry for Agriculture and Food. OMAFRA states that the variation of this fungus that attacks plum trees does not appear to affect chokecherry and likely not sour cherry and vice versa. OMAFRA is currently engaging in a three-year joint project in the Niagara Region to develop a clearer

When I did my last shift at Canadian Tire, I met a woman who was obviously a keen and knowledgeable gardener. She expressed dismay as she had recently noticed that a neighbouring property, which appeared untended, had a number of trees inflicted with black knot. This is a fungal disease that attacks plum trees. She had, after a long search, located a source for an unusual yellow plum tree that she had wanted to grow for jam, and felt forced to give up this plan after assessing the state of her neighbour’s trees. Black knot affects some

trolling black knot, treatment requires removing the affected areas when they are noticeable as soon as the weather is cool or, if noticed in the fall, possibly waiting until the dormant period during winter. It is easier to control if it is picked up in the early stages when it is causing swelling or galls on the twigs. Simply remove the infected twigs. The tools used in the removal should be sterilized after each cut to avoid spreading the fungus further. Use a 1 in 10 bleach solution or methyl hydrate or rubbing alcohol on the tools. If the disease is not noticed until the blackened growths show up on twigs and branches, the task becomes more complex and similarly less successful in controlling the disease. At least 2 cm of disease free wood should be removed on the tree side of the infected areas. All twigs and branches that are removed should be bagged and removed from the site. Burning or burying deeply, more than 30 cm, is what is recommended. Do not bury them close to trees that are or could become infected. Currently eradicating the disease is not an option. Fungal sprays are also used by commercial growers as they increase the chances of limiting the disease to about 90%. Types of sprays used commercially should be rotated to reduce the possibility of developing a resistant fungal spore to a specific spray. Given the limited access to chemical controls for the home gardener, expert advice can and should be obtained by contacting OMAFRA as to what options are available given the risks posed by this disease. Certainly this woman showed wisdom in using the health of her neighbour’s trees as a caveat to what she could grow on an adjoining property. In fact, it is wise to assess the health of any nearby trees when planting new trees on a property. Block knot, because it can be controlled with effort but not eradicated, is one of the more important risks to be assessed.

Stewart singing in St. Andrew’s series this Sunday

A can’t-miss vocalist will bring some life to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church this Sunday afternoon in the second week of the Summer at St. Andrew’s cultural series. Rev. Lynne Donovan said that this week’s guest, county resident Lenni Stewart, delivers a home run swing every time when it come to hitting a song out of the ballpark. Stewart sings enduring tunes from the American Songbook, Broadway, and Torch and does them well, capturing romance, yearning and humour in the classics. Donovan adds critics have praised Stewart for her “vibrant beautiful vocals,” and her “emotionally honest interpretation of the lyrics.” Stewart will be featured in Sunday afternoon’s show in the air conditioned sanctuary at the church at 2p.m. Admission will be $10 for the performance as visitors will be able to learn more about

Bay, South Bay and Prince Edward Bay. With Lake Ontario behind them to the south they are completely surrounded by water. Their location on the south shore provides them with approximately 10 to 14 additional non frost days in the fall when they really need it. This certainly is proof in that, they can ripen Merlot! They say that many of the county’s winemakers helped them in the beginning and they have them to thank for much of what they had to learn quickly. Brian, a selftaught winemaker, said that growing grapes in the county is very different from other wine regions and those with the experience here knew and were willing to share that knowledge. Joining PECWA early on also gave them the opportunity to interact with their peers and share information. The current vineyard site was previously an apple orchard but had lain fallow for about 10 years. They prepared the site in 2004 with the help of their neighbor as they did not

own a tractor! Now they have two tractors, a grape hoe, numerous plows, cultivators, a bush hog, prunners, loppers, and most importantly two wonderful vineyard workers from Thailand without whom they could not operate. They come in April and live on site until harvest is completed and everything is tied down for the winter. Kormann says they are hard workers and very caring, not only of their crop but for their families back home. They come to Canada so their family in Thailand can have a better life. In 2005 they planted twoand-a-half acres of Pinot noir and two-and-a-half acres of Pinot gris. They did not put their trellising in until the following year and this was a major undertaking as each T bar hole had to be drilled and the bar pounded into place. That would be 3,000 drilled holes and they are proud that not one vine was damaged in the process! For them this was a lesson learned; that being; plant the vines, and get the trellising in as soon as possible. Some of those vines grew

over 20 feet the first year and they were just sprawled all over the place! In 2009 they planted another nine-and-a-half acres on property owned by Marble Rock Enterprises at South Bay — chardonnay, Riesling and Merlot. There was already twoand-a-half acres of Pinot noir on the site. They now have their first VQA wines (2012 Pinot gris and Riesling) which has opened their market to select restaurants in Toronto and Ottawa. Their first harvest was in 2007 and they received their retail license in 2011. They then threw a 150-year-old hand-hued beam on two barrels and opened the doors in May of that year. The crush pad outside the barn doubles as their patio in the summer where they serve wine by the glass and on weekends where they offer a nibble menu which includes light snacks and appetizers.

They still wonder what they were thinking at the time A north facing slope, about eight inches of soil and rock, a dilapidated old barn and house taken over by raccoons. This was to be their vineyard and winery? But, after experiencing one sunset over the bay it sealed the deal. The old barn was renovated to house the processing area and a small barrel room which also serves as the tasting room. It has been totally gutted inside with new concrete floors poured with proper drainage and windows installed. The upper level haymow was closed in with new joists for storage and new electrical for heating and cooling ... it s a work in progress to this day. As many of the old barns in the county it is a beautiful structure worth all the effort to restore it. They named the vineyard and winery after the bay that lies below them. The history and tales of smugglers running liquor from these shores during the American prohibition intrigued them so they wanted to have a name that not only references their location but also this history. Their property actually sits at the junction of Half Moon

County man faces aggravated assault charge following January incident AdAmBrAmBurger

Staff writer

Following the treatment of his own infant child for lifethreatening injuries at the Children’s Hospital ofEastern Ontario in January, a 30-year-old Prince Edward County father is now facing aggravated assault charges. According to the Prince Edward County OPP detachment, officers were informed Jan. 15 by Highland Shores Children’s Aid Society workers regarding the incident that left the infant hospitalized. The combined efforts of the two agencies led to the man’s arrest June 28 and the charge of aggravated assault contrary to Section 268 of the Criminal Code of Canada. The accused was not named in the police release to protect the identity of the infant. He was released from police custody with a promise to appear in Picton court July 31. Police did not release any further details regarding the initial incident or the subsequent investigation.

FIVE ARRESTED IN VEHICLE THEFT

Just before 4 a.m. Saturday, the Prince Edward OPP detachment responded to reports of a stolen vehicle along County Rd. 3 in Ameliasburgh ward. Officers managed to locate the stolen vehicle south of Carrying Place on the Loyalist Parkway and there, they arrested one male at the scene of interception. Four other people fled into the bush at that time. The OPP brought in a canine unite and members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT) to help with the search of the area. As a result, all four suspects were taken into custody and arrested. Three adult males, one young male and one young female now face charges for the theft of the vehicle as well as a number of other thefts that occurred in the area over the past weekend. The Prince Edward OPP crime unit is continuing the investigation. Anyone that observed suspicious activity in the area or who believes they might have been the vic-

tim of one of the thefts as well is invited to call the detchament at 1-613-4762151. No information on the charges or pending court dates were provided.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, work to strengthen a relationship with a coworker or acquaintance. Developing this relationship now will bear fruit down the road.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may find yourself on a spending spree and it may be difficult to know when to put your credit cards away. Bring a friend along to help you reign in your spending. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, with so many big decisions looming on the horizon, you may be thinking of running away from it all. But all of your problems will still be waiting for you when you get back. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, people have been coming at you from all angles and you're ready for a break. Retreat to a quiet place sometime this week and pamper yourself. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 A change of scenery breathes new life into your daily routine, Virgo. Although it may be temporary, you will embrace the opportunities to recharge for a while.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, sometimes people just do not get your sense of humor, so don't be upset if a joke doesn't garner the laughs you anticipated. Your closest companions will still share a laugh. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you will host a house full of guests this week. This role suits you well, so don't worry as the party draws closer and the pressure begins to mount. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, the final countdown until big changes are in store has begun. Are you ready for all of the things you still have to get done? If not, get busy and enlist a few helpers. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you are often supportive of those around you and they appreciate that support. Continue to be a valued friend and confidante, and you'll be happy you did. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you may have to ask for some help this week. Accept this support and recognize it's necessary to get the job done.

Thank you to my family, friends, colleagues, and families that I have worked with for attending my day, for the lovely gifts, cards, hugs and well wishes. For those who were unable to attend, I appreciate your calls, emails and cards. Thank you to my husband for his support to retire young and "live the dream". I have been blessed to work where I grew up in the County for the past 26 years at Children's Mental Health Services doing the work I love and supporting children, teens and families to realize their potential and dreams. I take with me many fond memories and I wish you all the best in the future. Sharon Sibthorpe. Thanks to all. For all our friends and relatives who generously gave support, sympathy and love at the loss of my husband John and my sister Carol Ann, we are deeply grateful. To Rev. Kirby and Rev. Audrey for a beautiful service, to Sean, Jack and Mike and Bill McBurney for their kind words and music, to the Prince Edward Yacht Club and Norman Hardie and his staff for their gracious donations, to the Masons for their memorial service, to friends that travelled long distances from England, the USA and across Canada. To those who generously made donations to Prince Edward Hospice and other charities in John and Carol Ann's name. To those who sent flowers and food, we will be forever grateful. A big thanks to those neighbours who cared for the chickens, rabbits and ducks. Geri Della Bosca, Anne, Dorothy and Daniel Buda. Thankyou, Thankyou! I wish to say thanks to my family and friends for coming to my 80th birthday part at the Elks. Thanks for the tickets and gifts. Hope everyone enjoyed as I did. Clayton Hineman.

APPEC considers appealing standard applied to health arguments to courts

DECISION, from page 1

“The deck was stacked against APPEC and the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists,” he said, noting the small groups had to fundraise to launch the appeal. He said the group wasn't only taking on private developers, but a government ministry as well. “These guys weren't given a whole lot of chance by a lot of people,” he said. “… When it comes to the Green Energy Act, it hasn't turned out well for the local opponents. This was a big victory for the small guys in this case.”

BLANDING’S TURTLE

Using that parable, the small Blanding's turtle played a huge role in the decision. Wood said the endangered animals were a key piece their case. The turtle's threatened status in Ontario and endangered status globally was crucial in the tribunal's ruling to overturn the approval of the Ostrander Point Wind energy Park ERA despite being approved by the MOE just six months prior. “There are two endangered species that the company was given permits to kill and harm their habitat,” Wood said. “… The roads they were intending to build and site of the turbines would be destroying

all the habitat that the turtle needs to survive on.” Smith called it “ridiculous” that the REA was given despite the presence of a globally endangered animal. “This was the Ministry of the Environment steamrolling through its own endangered species regulations to force these wind turbines into Prince Edward County,” he said. “It's sad really that the community has had to go out and fundraise for this and, not only cost themselves a lot of money, but cost themselves a lot of time when the fight should have never occurred in the first place.”

PRECEDENT SETTING?

While members of the field naturalists think the ruling could impact the siting of future developments, others are skeptical. Wood said she hopes the decision will protect the county's south shore from future developments.

“Any future attempts to build turbines along there are going to have to deal with this decision,” she said. The Ostrander Point Wind Energy Park was proposed to consist of nine wind turbines with up to 22.5 megawatts of installed capacity. The project was to be located on 324 hectares of Crown land. The tribunal said it was the first project in Ontario that was proposed to be located entirely on crown land. Wood said every little bit of natural habitat is crucial. “There is so little left for wildlife to survive that we need to protect it all,” she said. The Field Naturalists are confident the decision will play a role in preserving similar wildlife habitats. “We think this is going to set a precedent right across Ontario and maybe the entire country to preserve significant wildlife habitat,” she said. Others aren't convinced the decision will have a broad impact on the location of wind turbine projects. Quaiff said the Ostrander decision probably won't have any bearing on wpd Canada's White Pines Wind Project. Smith said he's not sure what the decision will mean for future projects. “This is such an isolated decision with the Blanding's turtle and the habitat. It was kind of disconcerting that they continued to turn a blind eye to all of the other arguments that were made as to why this project shouldn't go ahead,” he said. “… I don't know if this is going to have any impact on the White Pines project going forward. I'm hopeful this will discourage the wind companies, but I really don't know where this goes as far as the White

confident Prince Edward County Field Naturalists representative Myrna Wood says she’s hopeful the recent environmental review tribunal decision will make it difficult for future attempts to build wind turbines on the south shore to proceed as planned. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Pines project is concerned.” HEALTH DECISION

As happy as many were with the outcome, there were many others who criticized the tribunal's findings on the effects of turbines on human health. Among them is the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County (APPEC), who also launched an appeal based on the premise that the turbines would cause serious harm to human health. The tribunal found that, in the hearing, there wasn't a proven link between turbines and ill effects on humans. “The evidence in this proceeding did not establish a causal link between wind turbines and either direct or indirect harm to human health at the 550 metre set-back distance required under this REA,” the ruling says.

APPEC released a statement saying the group was “baffled” by that finding. The statement says the ERT found “credible” the testimony of 11 Ontario residents who reported ill health after turbines were constructed nearby but, “declined to connect the health evidence with expert opinion” provided during the hearing. “The decision suggests that the ERT process is fundamentally flawed,” APPEC president Gord Gibbins said in the statement. Gibbins said the MOE has “no scientific basis” for the required 550-metre setbacks and the Ministry of Health has done no studies on wind turbines, but ERT appellants are expected to “assume the burden of proof.” “It seems that citizens are required to undertake acoustical and epidemiological research,” Gibbins said. “It is not enough to provide evidence of specific, ongoing harmful effects. This requirement turns the standard of proof, 'the balance of probabilities,’ into a test well beyond the reasonable.” APPEC is considering an appeal to the Ontario Divisional Court. Quaiff said although he's happy the Ostrander project won't move forward, he's disappointed the tribunal did not find a link between turbines and human health. “I look at it and go 'holy cow, what do you mean they didn't respect the health concerns with all the experts that gave testimony?' You're thinking, 'how can they ignore that?'” he said. Quaiff said he believes, because of the province's commitments under the Green Energy Act, that the tribunal “didn't have any choice but to turn that request away.” Quaiff said there hasn't been enough time committed to scientifically prove or disprove a correlation between turbines and harmful effects to human health despite many attempts by both sides to prove their point. “It's hard to understand which report the province would ever expect or accept when it comes to the health portion of things and they're the ones who set the rules really,” he said.

Quinte Conservation concerned with high water levels While a severe storm with record rainfall left large parts of Toronto under water Monday, Quinte Conservation has issued a water safety statement for this area. Quinte Conservation water resources manager Byron Keene issued the statement which warns that high flows, unsafe banks, melting ice, or other factors could be dangerous for water users such as anglers, boaters, swimmers, children, or pets. That said, flooding is not expected. Keene did warn people along the waterfront, however, that water levels are up over other years. “Due to late spring and early summer rains, lake levels are higher than normal for this time of year,� he said. “Residents along the waterfront may have to

adjust their docks and should keep an eye on property levels near the water.� Keene indicated that over the next week, there is still potential for more rainfall and that could mean changing water levels. Meanwhile, Quinte Conservation staff will be monitoring the water levels and are prepared to perform dam operations to reduce high water levels wherever they possibly can. “Several dams have already been operated. Residents downstream of lake dams should be prepared for changing water conditions and levels,� he said. The high water levels delayed the installation of seasonal dams controlling Stoco Lake, Moira Lake, and the Kingsford Conservation area near the Salmon River

Now taking orders for

in the Blessington area. The public is encouraged to exercise caution around all watercourses as banks may be slippery. Dams and other water control structures should also be avoided by the public. Those concerned about water levels may speak directly to Quinte Conservation staff at 613-968-3434 to learn about ways to mitigate the impact of the high water levels. Throughout the year, Quinte Conservation continues to monitor water levels and it also tracks weather conditions carefully as part of its flood forecasting and monitoring program.

suggests the potential for flooding based on weather forecasts leading to conditions that could lead to high runoff, ice jams, lakeshore flooding or erosion — is at the low end of the reporting system. Earlier this spring, there had been a flood outlook statement issued for Prince Edward County. More immediate notices include a flood watch, which notifies people of concern for flooding of specific watercourses in specific municipalities, and a flood warning that flooding is imminent or already occurring in specific watercourses or municipalities. In those instances, there may be recommended courses of action.

Dukes plan benefit game to help Ketcheson’s cancer fight Many contribute to make game Aug. 27 a reality Jason Parks

Staff writer

While he hasn't played for the hockey club in almost 20 years, the Wellington Dukes will be lacing them up for B.J. Ketcheson in August. The local Junior A team announced this week they would be hosting a benefit game against the Kingston Voyageurs in Ketcheson's hometown Napanee Aug. 27. Ketcheson, a defenceman who played for Wellington in the 1995-96 season and was eventually drafted to the NHL in 1997, has contracted stage IV lung cancer, has two brain tumours and is awaiting surgery and chemotherapy options while undergoing outpatient radiation treatments.

A 33-year-old self employed carpenter now living in Belleville with two children (a toddler and a newborn), friends in the Quinte region have been coming together to raise support for the young father. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said the benefit game ball started rolling two weeks ago when word started to spread about Ketcheson's condition. “It was actually (Former Dukes assistant coach) Jeff Foster who told me about what was happening with B.J. Jeff is a friend of the Ketcheson family and I proposed to him that the Dukes could help out with an exhibition game where the proceeds could go to B.J.,” Abrams said. From there, the Dukes secured the blessing of the Town of Napanee and the Napanee Raiders Junior C hockey club to play in the Strathcona Paper Centre.

“Everybody we've needed to co-operate has and they've been great to work with. The town of Napanee, Morris Hart and the Napanee Raiders, everybody has jumped on the bandwagon with no hesitation,” Abrams said. Under the paradigm 'Once a Duke, Always a Duke,' Abrams said the benefit game it the very least the hockey club could do for the former defenceman. “Hockey is far down on the totem pole in terms of what's important but it's something the organization can do to help out and hopefully, there will be a good turn out,” Abrams said. “BJ.. is a young guy with a young family and he's going to have costs in fighting this disease. Anyone that has to drive to Kingston or Toronto knows how expensive gas is.” For his part, Ketcheson is very happy his former hockey club is supporting him in this fight.

“It's amazing that they are hosting this game in Napanee. The support from everyone has been overwhelming and for the Dukes to put that together is something else,” Ketcheson told the Gazette. “Wellington's always been a great organization, Marty's been great to come up with this idea and it was great to play there when I was a kid.” The blueliner that has 243 OHL games to his credit recalls his season in Wellington with great fondness and can rhyme off several players he had friendships with including bruiser Ryan Foote, high scoring forward Adam Rivers and former captain Damien Gilbert. “”The club treated me so nice when I was there and now to support me, it's a great thing,” he added. Ketcheson finished up his pin point radiation this week and now doctors will monitor him for two weeks to observe how the cancer

reacts. At that point, his team of physicians will plot a course of action that could include surgery and/or chemotherapy. The ordeal started three months ago when Ketcheson was battling a sinus infection. He had inner ear issues, trouble finding his balance and woke up some mornings not being able to see straight. Those health issues led to an MRI and discovery of the cancer. Currently, his medication has him feeling the best he's felt in six months however he's been ordered to take it easy. Although only playing locally one season before moving on to the Peterborough Petes and the OHL, Ketcheson was part of a starry class of Wellington Dukes in 1995-96 that included eventual NHL draftees Chris Stanley and Seamus Kotyk as well as Dale Clarke who played a handful of games

with the St. Louis Blues. While Ketcheson's time predates Abram's tenure with the hockey club, it's careers and milestones like Ketcheson's that the club hangs its hat on when it comes to recruiting. Abrams said it was his predecessor that deserves the praise in bringing Ketcheson to Wellington. “No question, that was (late) general manager Garry Lavender at work,” Abrams said. Ketcheson added the big man in the corner of the DukeDome with the big heart supported him as a 16year-old defenceman. “Garry was a great guy and he always treated me so great,” Ketcheson said. “Playing in Wellington was a real big stepping stone for me and got me on my way. Plus it was the first year that my family didn't have to pay for my hockey so that was a huge help for my mom, being a single mother.”

There's still time to sign up for one of the best charity golf tournaments in Prince Edward County. The Garry Lavender Memorial Golf Classic tees off at the Picton Golf & Country Club on Saturday, July 20th and organizer Tod Lavender said the window of opportunity to golf alongside some local hockey legends is still open-but for a limited time. “It's a very enjoyable day for me and for Dukes fans. Personally, I get to see the guys that played with my dad, for my dad and the guys I coached. It's three generations of Dukes alumni and it's always a great time,” Lavender said. “I know it was one of my dad's favourite days of the summer.” The event raises funds for the Wellington Dukes Junior A hockey and with the 2014 Dudley Hewitt Central Canadian Championship almost certain to be held in the village next spring, fundraisers like the 2013 Memorial are vitally important to the team. The cost of this year’s event is $130 per player and covers the round of golf, a cart, a catered meal at the Prince Edward Community Centre and a prize. There will be closest to the pin competitions and long drive con-

tests as well as other on course challenges. This year marks the ten year anniversary of Wellington's first foray into the highest echelon of Junior A hockey and plans to reunite members of the 2003 Royal Bank Cup entry are under way. “I know (2003 players) Peter Maganga and Ron Cordes are trying to get a number of players that were on that team to the tournament so hopefully they all reunite and get together for a good time,” he added. The importance of rekindling old friendships and reuniting albeit for a day is underscored this year as former Duke and 1997 NHL draft pick B.J. Ketcheson battles stage IV cancer. “I'm sure the players from that season (1995-96) don't remember a Thursday night game in Lindsay but they remember B.J.. It's about the relationships that develop and that's why it's so important to get together when you can because you don't know what's around the corner,” he said. “We will definitely be making a donation to B.J.'s fund. It's a terrible thing that's happened to him and and it's a tough time but we will certainly be sending some funds his way.” For more information or to take part in the event contact Lavender at 613-3993177 or by email at tlavender@ainsworthfuneralhome.com .

As the city continues to dry out, a pair of PECI alumni will be in Cowtown this week for the annual Calgary Flames mini camp. Video coach and Picton native Jamie Pringle will be pouring over 44 prospects with the rest of the coaching staff, evaluating future Flames talent in a seven day, all-encompassing session that includes meetings, testing, practices and on-ice scrimmages. One of the prospects to be evaluated is former Wellington Dukes alternate captain Curtis Leonard. The Napanee native gar-

The Roblin's Family Plumbing Copperheads continue to maintain their hold at the top of the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League but it's only by the slimmest of margins. In late action Tuesday evening at the Picton diamond, Paul Norman drove in a pair and struck out 10 as the Snakes got past visiting Danford Contracting 7-5. The win allowed the Copperheads to vault past the Beatty Seeds Huskers, who moved into first place temporarily earlier in the evening thanks to a dramatic come-from-behind win. Down 2-1 in the fifth

inning to the Warren Excavating Ameliasburgh A's, Mark Norton drove in Chad Camp to tie the game. Norton came around again in the seventh and made it a perfect 3-for-3 night at the dish, driving home winning pitcher Dennis Smith for the game's winning run to lift the Huskers to a 32 win. Rusty Brooks homered in the loss for the A's. The victory pushed the Huskers to a 6-3-0 record and their 12 points were good enough for first until the Roblin's win which gave the Copperheads a 5-2-3 record and 13 points heading into

tonight's action. It should be noted, however, the Huskers have a game in hand on the Snakes and the third place club, Whitepine Watershed, has three games in hand on the league leaders. Whitepine find themselves just three points back with a 4-1-2 record. Whitepine blanked the Tweed Midgets Tuesday in Tyendinaga 6-0. Nick Brooks had a three run jack for the Deserontobased squad.

sons. In his freshman year at RPI, the lanky blueliner cranked up the offence, blasting home five goals and adding 10 assists for 15 points in 36 games. The 6'3”, 200 lb defender was force on the Dukes blueline for three seasons (20082011) and his Junior A career culminated in 2011 as he helped guide the local squad to a Dudley Hewitt Cup Championship in Huntsville. Pringle held down coaching staff positions with Hockey Canada and the Florida Panthers prior to being hired by the Flames in the summer of 2011. Ironically, both attended PECI with Pringle graduating in the mid-1990s and Leonard attending the school for three years while playing for the Dukes.

In action last week, Terra Vista and Roblin's tied at 2-2 with hurlers Mike Stever and Will Claus striking out 22 between them. Beatty Seeds got past Tweed 6-4 on the strength of a three run triple off the bat of Rhys Brigham in the fifth inning. In the other game, Danford Contracting got all over the A's 9-1. In tonight's action in Picton, Terra Vista and Whitepine hook up at 7:30 p.m.

will be the first time PEYC since 2003. The Eastern Yachting Circuit includes clubs from across eastern Ontario and northeastern United States and was formed in the 1920s to create opportunities for sailboat racing in the eastern end of Lake Ontario at a time when most regattas were staged in the western end of the lake. The regatta involves three days of racing. Today the yachts will participate in a long-distance race of 30-35 nautical miles. Friday and Saturday the sailors will take their yachts through course racing around buoys. Giberson said while most of the days will be spent on the water, PEYC wanted to make sure sailors know what Prince Edward County's land has to offer. “We like to promote Prince Edward County, it's our home,� he said. While its not a typical spectator sport, Giberson said the yacht club wouldn't discourage people from hanging out and watching the boats sail by. The Thursday race will take the yachts through Adolphus Reach and back through Long Reach and into Hay Bay. “It's kind of hard to have spectators at that kind of thing, (but) we don't discourage spectators. The races on Friday and Saturday are going to be in (Picton) Bay between Adolphus Reach, Long Reach and the Harbour,� Giberson said. “People can come out in their boats and watch.�

The Prince Edward Yacht Club will ring in three-quarters of a century of operation by hosting one of eastern Ontario's oldest sailing events. The Eastern Yachting Circuit Regatta will bring close to 50 sailing vessels to the waters surrounding the county this week. The regatta begins today and runs through Saturday. Prince Edward Yacht Club (PEYC) member and Eastern Yachting Circuit Regatta commodore Rob Giberson said the club asked to host this year's regatta in celebration of PEYC's 75th anniversary. “We're certainly pleased to be able to host it,â€? Giberson said. â€œâ€Ś We think this will probably be the biggest event that we've hosted and we're very thankful to all the merchants and businesses and the Corporation of Prince Edward County for all their support in sponsoring the event.â€? Dozens of yachts are signed up to compete. “Currently we have 49 yachts registered, but we expect a few late arrivals,â€? Giberson said, adding there are several events planned throughout the year to celebrate the anniversary, but this

For those organizing the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada's MS Bike Tour it's not surprising that so many participants have a personal connection who inspired their ride. MS Society president and chief executive officer Yves Savoie said prior to the event he welcomed a family with two young children who were going to be riding on their own in the event. “They said their

grandad has progressive MS, so they know what it means to ride,� Savoie said. “The mom said, at that age, they asked 'after we've raised the money, does grandad's wheelchair go away?' It would be wonderful to be so simple, but that's absolutely the spirit of the bike tour.� The second annual MS Bike – Prince Edward County event, which took riders on a 75-kilometre trip through the county, featured more than 200 riders and raised $135,000

to support those living with MS as well as research into the disease. Savoie said it's encouraging that the Prince Edward County ride grew in its second year. “Our numbers are higher than last year and our fundraising numbers, when we compared it at the same time last year, are also higher,� he said. Event co-ordinator Carrie Gibson was also pleased with the turnout. “To grow in the second year is really exciting. Cer-

tainly there's a market for it here because it's such a beautiful area,� she said. Gibson said teams came from all over Ontario to participate. Local team County Riders is listed on the MS Bike website as the top online fundraising team, bringing in $27,095 as of Wednesday morning. Team captain Valerie Hussey is listed as the top individual fundraiser, bringing in $13,110 so far.

It's a really good event, it's really well organized. It's not a race, it's a casual bike ride which is cool for us who don't train,� he said. “Helping out people with MS is good as well.� Golding said one of his curling teammates has MS. Sydenham resident Rita Witjes said her father lived with MS for 25 years. She said she was riding in honour of him on Saturday. “This is our first one,� she said. Riding team Dr. MS member Janice Neil said she made the bike part of a trip to Prince Edward County. She said her connections with both friends and family members living with MS played a role in her decision to participate Saturday. “It's a serious disease. I work with someone who, a few years ago, was able to walk around perfectly functioning and now, so quickly, it has crippled his body,� she said.

More than 100,000 Canadians have the disease and three new cases are diagnosed every day. Despite its prevalence, MS is often unpredictable Savoie said. “It can be a very debilitating disease and it hits, for the most part, young adults. People are typically diagnosed between 20 and 40 in the prime of life,â€? he said. “It very important on two fronts. The proceeds here support the whole range of our activities, funding research and funding supports and services for people.â€? The chronic disease affects the brain and spinal cord as the immune system begins attacking nerve cells. Early symptoms often include blurred vision, loss of balance and weakness in an arm or leg. Common MS symptoms include fatigue, muscle spasms and difficulty walking due to balance problems or numb feet. Savoie said these symptoms make the MS Society's support services invaluable to those with the disease. “That ranges from information, supportive counselling on the phone or in person,â€? he said. “Even efforts with individual advocacy if someone has a problem with their landlord or their employer.â€? Savoie said the dollars going to research are critical, noting that just two decades ago there were no medications at all to ease symptoms. Today the most prevalent type of MS, called relapsingremitting, is often treated with medication that reduces the frequency of attacks. “For most people, with the most common type of MS, in the past 15 years MS has become a treatable disease,â€? he said. â€œâ€Ś (The treatment) delays the pace at which disability accumulates so people can work longer, they can be physically
